Note: So first off, I do not own yugioh or anything connected to yugioh.

This is my first fanfic, so I am still not quite sure if I will keep this up or not. Guess we will just wait and see.

This will be based off the dubbed version of yugioh, since I have not watched subbed and haven't read much of the manga.

So here goes.

It began after Duelist Kingdom. Everything was mostly back to normal for Yugi and the gang after they returned home from the tournament. Yugi's grandfather was well and working in his shop, and the newly appointed King of Games and his friends had returned to school. Their lives were mostly back to normal, but not everything was the same as before.

The spiky haired boy was sitting on a couch in front of a tv that was playing a program about Japanese history. However, he paid no attention to it. Instead his mind was contemplating the events of Duelist kingdom that occurred just a few days before. One week ago if someone had told Yugi that he would participate in a major dueling tournament and win it, he wouldn't have believed them. But of course, a lot of unbelievable things happened before and during the tournament.

First of all being that his grandfather's soul was stolen by Pegasus, who turned out to be using an ancient magical item to grab his soul and read minds. Thinking of Pegasus's item lead Yugi to look down at his own Millennium item that sat around his neck. The puzzle turned out to be just as unbelievable. Inside it resided the mysterious spirit of the puzzle.

This spirit, Yami as he told Yugi he was called, was able to take control of Yugi's body and had helped him during the tournament. Yugi smiled down at his item. The spirit inside had really helped him and he couldn't be more thankful for his it.

Then it hit him. Yugi knew almost nothing about Yami. Who was the spirit of the puzzle? Curious, Yugi decided to try something.

"Um, Yami?" he called out quietly, feeling a bit silly. He had never consciously called out the the spirit before, especially while he was not in a duel. Shortly afterward, a transparent Yami appeared next to Yugi with a questioning look on his face. Yugi jumped at his appearance. Even though he called out to him, he wasn't quite use to a person appearing right next to him.

"Yes, Yugi?" the spirit asked, his eyes focused on the younger boy. They showed a bit of confusion in them. This was new for the spirit as well as Yugi.

"Well," Yugi started, smiling shyly at the floor, "I was just thinking, and I realized something."

"And what would that be?"

"I don't really know anything about you," Yugi said looking up at the spirit that resided in his puzzle. The said spirit blinked at the boy and waited for him to continue. "I mean I don't really know who you are. Like you are kind of me, but yet you are not me. You know?" Yugi hoped that he didn't sound too confusing, but one look at Yami told him that he understood.

Yami was quiet for a moment, thinking about what Yugi said. Then he spoke, "All I really know is that when you completed the puzzle I awoken and that I reside in your puzzle. However, you can think of me as someone who is here to help and protect you." With that, the spirit smiled at the young boy next to him.

Yugi nodded, smiling back. Not really wanting to say goodbye to Yami quite yet, Yugi turned his attention back to the tv. "Want to watch something?"

Yami looked at the tv with interest. His eyes widened a bit, Yugi wouldn't have noticed if he wasn't paying close attention. But Yami's excitement over the television was short lived. In just a few seconds that initial interest turned to boredom. Noticing this, Yugi grabbed the remote. He flipped through the channels, but nothing seemed to grab the interest the boy next to him.

He kept changing the channels, about to give up when something came on that grabbed both their attentions. On the television was a small scale, local duel tournament. Both boys watched a young boy that looked to be about 13 years old finish up his move. His opponent, a raven haired woman, drew a card. Yugi and Yami played close attention.

"That was a good move," Yami commented as she ended her turn. Yugi hummed in a agreement.

Well, that is something else I know about him. He seems to enjoy duel monsters. With that last thought, Yugi's full attention was on the duel. He spent the next few hours watching duels with the spirit of his puzzle. Both of them making comments as the duelists played.

Well here is the first piece of fanfiction I have even wrote. Again not sure if I will come back to this or not, but I figured I would give it a try.

I figured one of the first things Yugi would wonder about Yami was more about who he was. Also, I kinda got the idea for the tv from the episode where Yami spends time with Tea. He seemed, to me at least, rather uninteresting in anything they did except for the trading card place. So yeah.

Anyways, if I do come back to this (Which I am planning on), if any reads this and wants to suggest a scenario for the two that would be welcomed. I can't guarantee that I would use it, but I might.

Whelp, bye for now.
