Long ago, when the pyramids were still young, great kings played a powerful game. But these `shadows games' erupted into a war that nearly destroyed the world until a brave Pharaoh locked the magic away. He sealed it within seven mystical items, hoping it wouldn't reawaken and destroy the world. What he didn't know was there was an eighth…

 

 

Chapter 1

 

 

“Would you mind explaining to me again why we're at the air port Yug?” Joey asked as he yawned widely.

 

Yugi looked up at him with a smile. “I already told you, we're here to pick up my cousin,” he said happily. He was also holding up a sign with letters in English on it.

 

“Yeah, but what does that have to do with me?” the blonde asked, putting his hands behind his head.

 

Yugi's smile turned into a look of exasperation. “She's been in the U.S. since first grade and wanted to see everyone.”

 

Joey paled when he realized who Yugi was talking about. “Your not talking about Rolly Rosie, are you?”

 

“Yup,” Yugi said, satisfied his friend's reaction. “Tea and Tristan should be back with food by now.”

 

As if on queue, Tristan walked up with two bags of McDonalds. He tossed one to Joey and laughed when it hit the distracted teen's head.

 

“What's with him?” Tristan asked as he took a bite of an unknown burger.

 

Yugi shrugged. “All I did was mention that Rosie was the one we're picking up and the color drained from his face,” he looked around. “Hey, where's Tea?”

 

“She's still getting drinks,” the brown haired boy said. “So Yugi, does your cousin duel?”

 

“Yeah, in fact she's a bigger she's a bigger gamer than I am,” he replied.

 

Tristan smirked. “Yeah but you're the King of Games and Battle City Champion. No one's better than you.”

 

About then is when Tea walked up with their drinks. “Not here yet?” she asked.

 

“She should be coming out of the gate soon,” Yugi replied thoughtfully.

 

“Yugi, over here!”

 

Everyone, including Joey (since he'd snapped out it when he realized there was food), turned to see a girl in black running toward them. That was when their jaws (as well as their drinks) dropped.

 

She wore a black dress that hung on her shoulders and stopped at mid-thigh with two belts hanging on her hips. She also had on fishnet stockings with black boots that stopped below her knees. The long sleeves of her dress belled out over her hands as she waved to them. Her blonde hair was short on one side with bangs and long on the other with no bangs, very strange. Also, another strange trait she had was her different colored eyes. Her left one was a dark purple, and the other was a light sky blue. Around her neck was a black choker with a red rose on it and a gold chain wrapped around her neck three times (A/N Think of how Kaiba wears his card locket thingy now. ^.^)with a gold crescent moon pendant. The moon seemed to have something in between the two points.

 

“R-Rose?” Yugi asked in disbelief.

 

“Yup. Glad to see you still have the tri-colored hair,” she replied with a giggle, mussing with his hair.

 

“It is you,” he said in delight and gave her a hug, then introduced everyone. “You remember Tea,” Tea said hi and Rose smiled, “And this is Tristan and Joey.”

 

“Hello Rose, do you think I could your email address?” Tristan asked, putting on one of his most charming smiles.

 

Rose gave him a deadpanned look. “I don't think so.”

 

“Darn,” he said, snapping his fingers.

 

“Hey wait a minute, I thought you liked my sister,” Joey said, pointing accusingly at his friend.

 

Tristan got a dreamy look on his face. “I did, but she's too delicate for my tastes.”

 

Joey got angry and lunged at Tristan only to be stopped by Yugi. “I'll show you too delicate!” he yelled.

 

“Joey calm down,” Yugi pleaded.

 

Meanwhile…

 

“They do this often?” Rose asked Tea.

 

“Yeah, but you get used to it after a while,” she replied.

 

“Should I get my luggage then?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Rose nodded before yelling to Yugi, “Hey, I'm going to get my stuff from baggage claim!”

 

Without waiting for a response, she turned around and began walking away. However, before Rose was even five steps from the group, someone collided with her and sent her to the ground. And let me tell you, it was like a bad train wreck what happened next, for the person was none other than Seto Kaiba.

 

“Ow, damnit, watch where your going stupid,” she said as she stood up.

 

“Why don't you,” Kaiba said. “After all, you were the one not paying attention.”

 

Rose was fuming. “You're supposed to say sorry when you run into someone.”

 

Kaiba glared at her before he walked away. “I'll consider it when you dress differently,” he said over his shoulder.

 

“Like I'll really consider that Mr. Sunshine,” she yelled after him. She then turned towards the others, mumbling, “Someone needs a happy meal.”

 

“You do know that was Seto Kaiba, right?” Joey asked with saucers for eyes.

 

“Seto Wha-wha?”

 

Tea gave her a deadpanned look. “Never mind.”

 

Rose felt a tug on her sleeve and looked down. “Huh?”

 

“Hi, I'm Mokuba. I'd just like to apologize for my brother's behavior,” Mokuba said. “You see, we're here to pick up the Rose Duelist as part of a deal with another company and we can't find him.”

 

Confusion passed over Rose's face but was quickly replaced with understanding. She nodded to Mokuba. “I accept your apology Mokuba. And make sure you tell Mr. Sunshine to calm down too.”

 

Mokuba sweat dropped, said he would, and left. Rose got her luggage and they all piled into a taxi and went to Yugi's house.

*

“Gramps,” Rose yelled happily as she hugged him.

 

“Rosaline,” he replied in disbelief. “Look at how big you've gotten. Why, you're taller than Yugi.”

 

“You mean she wasn't before,” Tristan asked in amusement, earning him a whack in the head from Rose.

 

Grandpa laughed. “No, Yugi was always the tall one,” he said then turned back to Rose. “What have they been feeding you in America?”

 

Rose smirked. “Well there's pizza, burgers, chilidogs…Basic teenage survival foods.”

 

Grandpa laughed again. “I'll go order take-out while you kids catch up.”

 

“'Kay,” everyone said in unison.

 

They talked for awhile and found out Joey knew Rose as well. He met her in kindergarten and she'd used to torture him. When they asked how, he wouldn't say. That was when Rose mentioned `Barney'. And let's just say there's a Joey shaped mark in the ceiling now. After that, everyone ate and the other's went home.

 

“Ok you two, time for sleep. Your going to school tomorrow,” Grandpa stated after everyone had left.

 

“Aww, grandpa, at least let me get over my jet lag,” Rose whined.

 

“Now, now, you have the entire weekend to sleep,” Yugi said playfully.

 

Rose glared at him, but reluctantly agreed. Just as they were going to sleep, Rose commented on Yugi's millennium puzzle. (A/N They have to share a room since there isn't a spare one.)

 

“It's called the Millennium Puzzle,” he said, holding it up in his hands. “It's one of seven items and the most sought after.”

 

Rose looked at it from her make-shift bed on the ground. “That eye in the middle looks just like the one on my necklace.”

 

Yugi stared at her. “`Your necklace',” he asked with interest.

 

“Yeah. Grandma gave it to me before she died. She told me to keep it with me always,” she replied as she fished for the clasp on the chain around her neck. When she found it, she took it off and held it up for her cousin to see, revealing the crescent moon pendent she'd had on earlier. Only this time, Yugi could see the small Egyptian eye between the two points. As Rose held it up, the puzzle and pendant began to glow.

 

“Whoa,” Was all Yugi said when the light dimmed and went out.

 

Rose looked at her necklace in confusion. “It's never done that before,” she said as she poked her necklace. “C'mon necklace, make that pretty light again.”

 

Yugi gave her a funny look. “I think we should go to sleep,” he suggested, changing the subject.

 

Rose nodded. “G'night Yugi.”

 

“Night.”

 

*Yugi.*

 

`Yeah Pharaoh?' Yugi said as the spirit of the puzzle appeared on the end his bed.

 

*That light that came from your cousin's necklace was that of a Millennium Item,* the Pharaoh said, his arms crossed over his chest.

 

`I know,' he replied. `Do you think it's one of the seven?'

 

The Pharaoh shook his head. *No. We already have the Millennium Tauk, plus three other items as well. For some reason though, something is telling me this isn't one of them.*

 

Yugi sat up and faced his counter part. `The puzzle glowed too. Maybe something happens every time we come across a new item? I mean, it's happened before.'

 

*Yes, but that pendant isn't one of the seven items. I don't know how I know this, but I do. It's as if a piece of my memory was unlocked,* he said looking down.

 

Yugi was silent for a moment. `I bet that's what that light was,' he finally said, making the Pharaoh look up with questioning eyes. `The puzzle started glowing, too, and I'm betting the light may have unlocked some of your memories.'

 

The Pharaoh's face lit up as soon as Yugi finished speaking. *That would explain it,* he said. He would have continued, but some movement on the floor caught his attention.

 

“…evil nerds of death…” Rose mumbled in her sleep as she shifted slightly.

 

*I think you should get to sleep,* he said after giving the sleeping girl an odd look.

 

Yugi nodded and lay down, also going to sleep. However, the Pharaoh didn't disappear back into the puzzle. He continued to stare at Rose until dawn started to break, all the while thinking she looked very familiar.

 

^^^^^

1 week earlier…

 

Marik Ishtar was gathering his things from his old room in the lair of the Tomb Keepers. He was extremely happy he wouldn't have to live the rest of his life in the dark, and thought his sister, Ishizu, felt the same way. It was all thanks to the Pharaoh, too. Odeon, however, had been a bit distant lately.

 

Marik found himself humming when his joy finally swelled through his entire being. That was when Ishizu burst in through the door, scaring the living daylights out of him. (A/N No pun intended. ^.^;)

 

“Brother, come quickly,” she said franticly, grabbing him by the wrist and dragging him with her.

 

“What is it Ishizu,” he asked in concern. She didn't answer and stopped when they got to the main hall to see Odeon talking with a young man in a turban. It was none other than Shadi.

 

“Hello Master Marik,” he greeted in his rich voice. “I'm sure you know why I'm here?”

 

Marik paled and nodded when he realized what it was. “You've found the eighth item.”
