Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Yu-Ki-Oh ❯ Chapter 1: The Puzzle of the Gods ( Chapter 1 )

Yu-Ki-Oh!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Also I'm probably semi-own Yuki.

Me: Well as they say "On to the bandwagon". The temptation was too great. Now before I start there are a few things you should know.

===============================================================

The girl Yugi in this fic is a born female. She wasn't Yugi Moto yesterday then when she woke up she was a girl. That means, in this fic she never was a guy.

My girl Yugi's name is going to be named Yuki. Unless you are an idiot, if you replace the K in Yuki with a G, you get Yugi. Plus sometimes I accidentally type Yugi instead of Yuki sometimes.

Yuki-girl is a little different from Yugi. So expect a few changes in personality.

Tea Gardner/Anzu Masaki will not be in this story. I just couldn't fit her in.

I'm following the manga a bit. However there will be tweaks, pop culture references, I'm using the dub names but when Battle City comes around I'm keeping Malik's name, and finally I will put in few things from the anime.

There is a slight triangle in the story, but I will not tell you. I will only tell you that Yuki-girl is the tip of the triangle.

If you even dare call Yuki-girl a Mary-Sue and/or flame me, I will hunt you down and make you regret ever reading fanfiction.

===============================================================

Me: Before I start I want to give some credit to someone. She's a writer on FF.Net and she wrote a story where Yugi was a girl. I liked that story. Soon, the cage filled with plot bunnies opened up and gave me this story. So I want to thank that writer because her story gave me the idea. Also sorry for a lot of the changes. I just don't want people to say that this is a copy of the manga. Let's get on with the fic.

Chapter 1: The Puzzle of the Gods

In the town of Domino City, in a small place called The Turtle Game Shop, a young girl, who was really short, was currently playing video games.

This girl wore a white peasant blouse, baggy blue jeans, and old-fashioned sandals. She had waist length black hair, the tips were crimson, and the unruly bangs were blonde. Finally the girl had the strangest eye color of violet. The girl's name was Yuki Moto.

In the past year, Yuki had already been to three schools. But there was always a problem.

The first school had teachers that humiliated Yuki when she did something that wasn't really a big deal, like forgetting to wear the P.E uniform during Gym or bringing a jigsaw puzzle to class to play with during the break. Yuki's grandfather, Solomon Moto, thought the faculty there were too strict so he enrolled her into another school.

But, the second school had completely oblivious teachers who didn't care when Yuki got beat up by bullies. After 2 months, Solomon found out about the bullies and moronic teachers and he tried again to find a good school for his granddaughter.

Finally the last school… well actually Yuki got thrown out for knocking out her old boyfriend.

This was Yuki's last chance, she, her grandfather, and her mother made an agreement that if the new school didn't work out, Yuki would be home schooled.

"Yuki what are you doing?"

Yuki paused her game and looked up to see her grandfather.

"Oh hi grandpa."

"Shouldn't you be leaving for school now?"

"Grandpa it's 6:30, school starts at 8:00 and the walk is 15 minutes. I won't have to leave for another hour."

"Actually Yuki it's 7:42."

With that Yuki freaked out, turned off her gamecube, grabbed her backpack, and said good-bye to her grandfather and mother.

Mrs. Moto chuckled.

"Yuki running late again?" asked Yuki's mother from the kitchen

"You know how she is. She always wants to be early so she can play with her games before class starts."

Mrs. Moto sighed and looked outside the window and saw her daughter ran toward Domino High.

`I just hope this time, Yuki finds a boyfriend who won't break her heart and hurt her like last time. Or at least a friend she can count on.'

Yuki, who was out of breath and slumping on the wall, was waiting outside the classroom.

"Class we have a new student would you please come in here dear?"

`Finally!'

Yuki walked in and gained a few wolf whistles.

Yuki was about to glare them to death but the teacher; Ms. Chono did it for Yuki.

"Now please introduce yourself for the class."

"Yuki Moto. Nice to be here." Yuki said kind of fast and unintelligible

"O… kay. Um Ms. Moto you will sit in front of Joey Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler please raise your hand so Ms. Moto can find you."

Yuki then saw a lazy looking blonde with puppy dog brown eyes raising his hand. Yuki walked to the seat and nearly slept through the entire day. But she did listen… sometimes AKA almost never, but when she wasn't listening and/or sleeping she took a short look at Joey Wheeler.

One thought kept spinning in her head every time she looked at Joey, who was sleeping every time Yuki saw him.

`He reminds me so much of my old boyfriend.'

About 3 hours later, Joey felt let skipping the rest of the school day and go to the arcade. Joey had a bulgy pocket full of change and he wasn't going to waste all those coins by having some pathetic schoolyard punk embarrassingly shake him down by the ankles.

Joey was about to run to the door, until he heard an interesting conversation.

"I have to wear that!?"

"Ms. Moto, female students have been wearing this ever since Domino High came into existence."

"Really? Well then I guess the person who made that uniform must've A. Had no sense of fashion what so ever. B. Been colorblind C. Had a very, very, very, very bad case of anorexia or D. All of the above. Which I am guessing is the right answer."

"Ms. Moto! If you do not wear this uniform tomorrow I swear I will give you a week's worth of detention!"

Joey heard some growling and some stomping to the door.

`Yeesh that is one ticked lady.'

But then Joey remembered that he was in front of the door and if he didn't move… WHACK!

`Exit stage left!'

But before Joey could leave, Yuki violently opened the door and it conked Joey right on the face.

Soon Joey woke up with a nice bruise on his forehead. He sat up and saw that he was in the School Infirmary.

"What the?"

"Oh you're awake. Don't worry the principal found you in the hall. Apparently you were hit in the face by a door. Speaking of the principal he told me to give you this note when you wake up."

The nurse gave Joey and a folded piece of paper and boy was he ticked when he read the note.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear, Mr. Wheeler,

I had found you outside my office. I can assume that you planed to skip class, not only that I can guess that you were eavesdropping on my conversation with Ms. Moto. Also you should have been at class at the time. So I have decided on a fair punishment. 2 weeks of detention.

Signed, your principle, Mr. Nakatoni

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

Actually, ticked wasn't really the right word for how Joey felt. Pissed as hell beyond all reasoning was more like it.

"I get 2 weeks of detention because of that violet-eyed bitch! Well then she is going to regret the day she messed with Joey Wheeler."

Soon school was almost over for the students. Some of the students went home already, while others were talking to their best friends in the next row, and Yuki was busy playing a little game known as Pop-up Pirate.

"Hey let's play basketball. We'll let the girls play too! Hey what was your name again? Yuki? Well, whatever your name is, wanna play basketball?"

As soon as Yuki heard the guy, the pirate in her game popped up and landed on the floor.

"Sorry I don't like basketball."

With that everyone left the classroom except Yuki.

After everyone was gone, Yuki pulled out a golden box from her backpack.

"It's my greatest treasure. It's something you can see but never seen before."

But as Yuki was opening the lid, Tristan Taylor, a good friend of Joey Wheeler, grabbed the box.

"Yoink! You talking yourself Yuki? You win the prize for creepy!" said Tristan

"Give it back Tristan!"

Tristan laughed and threw to Joey.

"Pass Joey."

"It's Yuki's treasure box! I hate girly crap!"

"Give it back! It's important my grandpa gave it to me for my 8th birthday!"

Joey laughed again and tauntingly waved the box in front of Yuki.

"Sounds special."

"It is special! It was found in an Egyptian Ruin! Whoever solves it gets one wish…"

"That's dumb."

Joey decided to take a peak inside the contents and frowned.

"Jeez how boring. Aw well this thing can have other uses. Hey Yuki you like games right? Well how about we play "Catch the golden box". Come on catch it!"

Yuki tried to jump to catch her item but Joey had a slight advantage. It was called height difference in his favor.

`Damn genetics! Of all the freaking bullies I get in this school, I get a tall one. Why can't for once there be some midget bullies. It would certainly put the odds in my favor.

Just then Yuki noticed the pop up pirate toy on the floor.

`Actually I think the odds decided to fall into my favor.'

Suddenly, Yuki slipped through Joey's legs and stole his belt and in that instant, Joey's pants fell down and revealed Spongebob Squarepants boxers.

"You want the belt you have to catch me."

Soon a funny chase scene occurred with a teen girl who could pass as a 10 year old and a blonde guy who was holding his pants with one hand and a gold box in the other.

A few seconds later Yuki got pass the pop up pirate toy. Joey, however, stepped on it, slipped, fell, and gave himself a major headache. Yuki then snatched her box from Joey's hand.

"Thank you."

With that she walked out of class.

Tristan picked up Joey's belt and helped his friend up.

"Yeesh that girl is weird."

"No really ya think?" asked Tristan sarcastically

"Shut up Tristan. Anyway who does that girl think she is? Who's the bully?"

"Um Joey that would be us. Yup."

But before both guys could leave the classroom, they bumped into something. Something that could break them in half with one swift punch.

"What were you saying about bullies?" said a voice that just screamed executioner

The something was Ushio the Hall Monitor.

"Nothing you overgrown…"

Quickly Tristan covered Joey's mouth.

"Right nothing. Picking on people is bad!"

"I agree" Ushio muttered and left the room

In that instant Joey released himself from Tristan's hold.

"You jerk I couldn't even breathe!"

"Snap out of it Joey. That's Ushio our monster of a hall monitor. He'd snap both of us in two."

"Big whoop."

Tristan sighed, realizing that Joey was way too headstrong and stubborn to get it through his thick skull.

"Got something to cheer ya up."

Joey took out his hand in his pocket and showed a golden piece of metal with a stylized eye.

"What's that?"

"It was from Yuki's treasure box. I think it was a puzzle. So if she is missing a piece she can't solve it."

Both Tristan and Joey snickered at the thought of Yuki unable to finish her puzzle and crying like a little kid.

`Make a wish!'

Then Joey threw the piece of gold into the school swimming pool.

===============================================================

Yuki walked out of the school, heading home, wondering how the heck she survived.

`Maybe I can ask grandpa to start homeschooling me tomorrow. It may be twice as boring as regular school. But at least with homeschooling I won't have to deal with A-holes like Joey and Tristan.'

As Yuki was walking she heard a deep menacing voice.

"You're Yuki right?"

Yuki turned and saw Ushio the hall monitor. Yuki swallowed a lump in her throat she didn't know she had.

"Yes."

She turned her head and closed her eyes preparing for more abuse.

"I'm Ushio the hall monitor. I want to ask you something Yuki. Are you bullied by certain students in your class."

Yuki quickly shook her head.

"No not at all."

"How sad. Victims often defend their attackers. I've been investigating."

`Better investigate harder boy because I don't consider punching out my old boyfriend's lights defending him.'

Ushio then grabbed onto Yuki's shoulders.

"You can stop worrying Yuki! I'll be your bodyguard from now on."

Yuki was able to break from Ushio's hold and ran away.

`What is up with that weirdo?'

Finally Yuki reached home and was greeted by her grandfather.

"Hello Yuki how was school?"

"Well it's bit of a good news bad news thing. Good news is only one of the teachers are complete morons. Also they allow me to play my games during breaks. Bad news I have to wear a crappy uniform, I got the stupid teacher, and I have a stalker."

Yuki wasn't really in the mood to tell her mother and grandfather about Joey and Tristan so she left them out of the conversation.

Mrs. Moto came in and gave Yuki a nice cup of chocolate milk.

"Well don't worry sweetie, you're home now. Also be lucky you have us. You know what they say, "Living well is the best revenge."" Said Mrs. Moto

Yuki smiled knowing her mother had those weird but helpful phrases. Yuki then walked over to the table and pulled out her box.

"Haven't given up on that puzzle eh Yuki?" asked Solomon

"Who's giving up?" Yuki asked

"Solomon, Yuki has been working on that puzzle for 8 years. If we couldn't solve it how do you know Yuki can solve it?"

"I have faith in her. That's all."

===============================================================

The next day, every five seconds Yuki was caught tugging on the sleeves of the uniform jacket.

"Stupid principal. I would have worn the blue jacket but no I was only allowed to wear this piece of crap."

"Yuki!"

Yuki looked and saw Ushio.

"Yuki. I've got something to show you."

"Huh?"

Ushio then grabbed Yuki's wrist and dragged her to a nearby alley.

===============================================================

Blood stained the beaten and bruised body of Joey Wheeler. He and Tristan were so bloody and messy no one would've recognized them.

"Joey what happened?"

Joey didn't say anything, he was too busy coughing up blood.

Soon two shadows shaded the alley. A tall one and a short one.

Upon seeing the bloody messes that were Joey and Tristan, Yuki faced Ushio.

"Ushio what did you do!?"

"I did my job. I'm your bodyguard remember Yuki?"

Yuki glared at Ushio and rushed to Joey.

"Joey are you okay? Please speak to me."

Joey caught the scent of country raspberry, opened his eyes slightly, and saw the silhouette of a girl.

`Did Ushio killed me? Is that an angel? Who is she?'

But soon Joey recognized the girl as Yuki Moto.

"Oh it's you. Well I hope ya happy ya bitch!"

"You think I told him to do this?"

Just then Ushio grabbed Yuki and threw her away from Joey and Tristan.

"Move it Yuki. I haven't finish beating these guys yet."

After seeing Ushio give Joey a swift kick to the stomach, Yuki stood up in front of them.

"Stop it!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind.

I can withhold like it's going out of style.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Heh, you're a weird one Yuki. These were the guys who made your life a total hell yesterday. This is your chance for some revenge."

"I can't do that to my friends!"

That statement caught the attention of both Joey and Ushio and raised a few questions.

"Now I know you're strange. Why would you call those guys your friends? They were picking on you yesterday."

"They weren't picking on me. They just didn't know how to react towards a girl like me. So they did the type of greeting they're use to."

Joey was pretty surprised. For one thing Yuki was defending him and also there was the fact that she was partly right.

"Well that's too bad Yuki. Because, you owe me 200,000 yen for the bodyguard fees."

"Wha!? Perhaps you don't know but I never asked you to do this!"

"Yuki, Yuki, Yuki. You're a spoiled little princess aren't you? You just can't be satisfied until I hurt these guys even more."

Yuki continued her death glare.

"Don't you even dare touch them you over grown baboon!"

Joey now was surprised by this girl's bravery. Yuki had only started school yesterday and probably met Ushio on that same day. But Yuki had already called Ushio something Joey wanted to call the idiot for a long, long time.
