She was slightly taller than Sugokuru, but that wasnt hard considering the fact that he was a very short man. Her brilliant green eyes sparkled as she flashed a dazzling smile to the old man.

The man was startled and dropped the book. How are you?!" Ayamé, would you take Yuugi for me, I realy need to speak with Katsura alone." The child cocked his head to the side as if listening to the conversation. that wasn't possible, right? Two year olds do not listen to adult conversations and follow them none the less. He wriggled his way out of hs Ji-chan's arms and ran to his otou-san. to-sam! Hug Oogi! Hehehe!" He giggled as they laughed at him. The father and son embraced before Yuugi dashed across the room into the hall. Catch me!" Ayamé shook her head and walked out after the bouncing child.
"Katsura, we need to talk." The younger man sighed and turned away from Sugokuru. I thought we went over this, you are not to give my only child a cursed puzzle, let alone an ancient one." Sugokuru argued, "He is the one. I know it, you know it, and the puzzle does to. Every night the box of Horus glows brighter and brighter. He is coming of age and he must solve that puzzle!" what if he can't? Huh, Or what if he doesn't want to ? What then?" Katsura yelled, whipping around to face his father. least let him try.

Just let him try. Let him think that it's just another puzzle." we both know that thousands of men have tried to solve that puzzle. In fact getting that box open is a challenge in itself! Why should he be any different?!" The two men glared at each other. Suddenly there was a crash and a scream form the kitchen. both ran out the door to see what was wrong.
Yuugi ran past the kitchen and into the front hall. Yuugi?" said Ayamé in a sing-song voice. He giggled and hid behind Sugokuru's luggage. The only thing visible of him was his hair. took after his grandfather's style. A starburst of red tipped black stood in proud spikes. Golden bangs framed his chibi face, making him seem almost... angelic. She passed right by him as she kept "searching". started to giggle again. Then he heard a slight sound. It was hard to define, but it was almost as if it was calling to him. He looked all around nervously. The "sound" was soothing now, as if to calm his nervousness. He sat there and listened. just like a puzzle. I just have to find the source of the sound./ He listened more carefully. was yelling in the distance, but the sound was close. close. looked towards the luggage in front of him.

He pulled off the lid and looked inside. puzzle!/ The small boy dumped out the golden pieces of the puzzle. were thirty pieces all together, and one had a loop at the top. now, what is this?/ Little hands reached out delicately and picked up a piece that looked like it might fit the one with the loop. He put them together with a satisfiying "click". picked up another, then another and another. Soon he was just pulling pieces from the pile without looking at them. It was as if something was guiding his hands to the right pieces. five minutes later he came to the last piece. Maybe I should make a wish or somethin'. Well, I wish I had a friend. One who understands me, not one who pretends to like me like the others do./
A crystalline tear fell from those big lavender eyes, landing on the final piece. well. It was fun while it lasted./ last piece clicked in and ... nothing happened. *sigh* He stood up holding the pyramid shaped puzzle. Ka-sam look!" He ran up to his mother holding out the completed puzzle. She turned to look at him while holing a crystal vase.
She gasped at the sight of her son standing there holding a foriegn -puzzle ?- in his outstretched palms. He looked at her strangely as she lost hold of the vase, letting it slip out of her grasp. The vase hit the floor hard, showering the entire area with shards of broken glass. started again as she realized that she was hurt. She then looked to Yuugi only to find him laying on the floor, unconcious and bleeding. of the vase were emmbedded in his skin. She screamed as she saw a large piece covered in blood next to his head. Upon closer inspection she saw that his throat had been cut open and was bleeding profusely...

He trailed off, hoping he was wrong. Sugokuru sighed and nodded. Katsura, it is. I told you that he was the one!" look where it got him! Half dead on the living room floor!" The woman listened in disbelief. knew that this was going to happen? And you didn't even TELL us? Tell me?!" Her voice cracked as she arose, hugging his body to her own.
"That isn't true dear. We didn't know that THIS would happen. We simply _thought_ that he would solve that-that puzzle ." Katsura tried to console his wife. she was too upset to listen. Tears poured down her face as she glared at the two men, still gently rocking her near- dead babe. Sugokuru, listen to me. You will not let my child anywhere _near_ that monstrosity. Why its so important to you two, I don't know, but I do know that that puzzle is evil." Ayamé-" started Sugokuru in a pleading manner. Sugokuru. Thats _final_.
