Yugi fumbled with the puzzle pieces on his desk. He could feel the tears running down his cheeks. His grandfather hadn't told him he was leaving on an expedition so Yugi had been extremely worried when no one had called to make sure he was up.

Yugi sat there, wishing he had someone to talk to. He didn't have any friends, unless you counted Anzu, who never really talked to him anyways.

Yugi yawned and looked at the clock. The bright red numbers read 1:37 AM. He sighed and yawned again, wincing from the bruise on his face. Like every other day some older kid had stopped in the school grounds asking for money. Yugi was smart enough to know money in school was a bad thing unless you had friends, since he had none he never brought money and was safe from some bullies, others just beat him up for no reason. He looked down at the puzzle. Its shape was forming. Yugi smile and yawned again.

Yugi was tired but he couldn't sleep. His grandfather had told him a story about the puzzle. He had said it was called the Millennium Puzzle and whoever solved it got a wish. He still felt tears streaming down his face, some landing on the desk, some on the puzzle. He didn't know what it was but something was saying to finish the puzzle tonight and Yugi knew he wouldn't be able to sleep if he didn't.

Yugi continued putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Finding it strange it was easier to put together when he was crying and feeling terrible. Yugi sniffled. He knew the reason no one ever wanted to be around him. He was weak and useless. He couldn't help anyone because those who could help would just say he was in the way. Then he saw a piece of the puzzle looking at him, almost glaring as if to say

"Stop insulting yourself its getting on my nerves." Yugi just looked away wondering he thought the puzzle was talking to him.

Yugi yawned again looking at the clock. 2:48 AM. He sighed and went back to the puzzle. The piece with the eye catching his glimpse again. He sat there putting piece after piece in. hearing the click that meant they were the right piece.

Yugi went to grab another piece of the puzzle and gasped when he saw he only had one left. It was the one with the Eye of Horus on the front that was glaring at him earlier. He picked it up and put it right above the hole it fit in and said

"You grant wishes right? Well I wish I had a friend. Someone who would care for me and be with me in my hardest times." After he asked his wish he put the piece in and the puzzle glowed blinding him with its light.

Yugi opened his eyes and gasped. There was someone standing in front of him. If Yugi hadn't known without a doubt that he was an only child he could of swore he had a twin. There were a few slight differences though. This look-a-like had blond streaks going through his hair. He was also taller than Yugi and didn't have rounded features like Yugi. Instead he had sharp features that fit him perfectly. And instead of warm amethyst eyes his were hard crimson. He also sensed an aurora of confidence, strength, and control which Yugi instinctively shrank away from. The other noticed him backing away and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you the one who solved the puzzle?" he asked. To afraid to speak Yugi nodded his head.

"What's your name?" the older asked

"Why do you want to know?" Yugi said gaining a glare from the other

"I said what's your name?"

"Why?" Yugi asked again. The other came closer. Yugi tried to back away but the older had put his hand on his shoulder making it impossible to move.

"I'll ask one more time. What. Is. Your. Name." the older asked again. Yugi gulped and tried to keep his voice low

"Yugi." He said the other let his shoulder go and Yugi put his hand on it to try and make it stop hurting. He was pretty sure he was going to have a few finger like bruises on his shoulder. He glared at the other who just looked at him smiling.

"See that wasn't so hard now was it?" he asked. Yugi kept glaring at him but it faded when the other started to leave.

"Wait!" he called. The other turned around and looked at him waiting for a good reason to stay, Yugi was wondering too.

/Why would he stay? I'm just some useless kid who solved a puzzle. I don't blame him for wanting to leave/ Yugi heard a groan from across the room. He looked up and saw the other was in front of him again

"Didn't I say to stop insulting yourself?" Yugi just stared at him, feeling slightly relieved he hadn't been hearing things earlier, but also extremely freaked out this person knew what he was thinking. Yugi shrank back slightly and whimpered. The other's features softened and he sighed. He turned to leave when Yugi got the courage to say something.

"Please don't leave. I don't want to be alone again." He said with pleading eyes. The other smiled and walked back over. Yugi couldn't place it but the figure looked like he had just won something. When the figure was in front of him again they didn't say anything until Yugi yawned again. He looked at the clock. It read 4:57 AM.. Yugi sighed and he felt a hand on his shoulder again.

"It's late. You should go to bed." His other said. Yugi looked at him with a face that said 'who are you and what did you do with the guy who was here earlier'. The person chuckled but Yugi knew he was right. It was Saturday tomorrow so it didn't matter how late he slept in. he went over to the bed a laid down as the other sat at the end of the bed. Yugi had one thing to ask before he went to sleep though.

"Umm excuse me," he said. The other looked at him "What's your name?" he saw the boy smile as he came up with his answer

"Well," he began "If I remember correctly you are my light. My Hikari. So in basic that would make me your dark, your Yami." He said. Yugi just looked at him confused.

"Well I don't get what you just said but I'm pretty sure you said that your name was Yami." The other nodded.

"Well then Yami goodnight and I'll see you in the morning." Yugi smiled and went to sleep.

"Goodnight Yugi, goodnight my light."
