Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yugi nodded.
"But first let's head back to my place. I haven't even had breakfast yet sweatdrop ."

"The Acadamy!" Miho squealed, "I want to go there!"

"Well come on then." Yugi laughed, "Let's pay first though." He took the milk up to the counter, and waited while the cashier rung up the price.
Yugi handed the correct amount of yen to him.

"Strange for a young boy to be by himself buying milk." The cashier smiled, handing him the carton.

Yugi's face went red.

"I'm almost in college." He growled.

"Sure you are." The cashier laughed.

"Come on Yugi." Miho sighed, grabbing his upper arm. Yugi quickly grabbed his milk.

"Nope, none, but I'm the champ of Capsule Monsters, not Duel Monsters." Miho replied with a laugh, "Thought lately, i've made a deck, and I even beat some one by the name of Marik, I think."
Yugi stopped.
"No way!" He exclaimed, "Marik's here?"
Miho shrugged.
"I don't know. He said he was stopping in."
"Hey Yugi!" A voice called.
Yugi turned to see who the new speaker was, but was bawled over by the person, and grabbed into a hug.
"How's my little man?" Joey laughed, giving him a noogy.
"Joey! Hey!" Yugi laughed.
"Joey?" Miho asked.
"Huh?" Joey looked up, "Miho?"

"Who are you pip squeak?" Joey asked in a teasing voice. His eyes caught Yugi's mellenium puzzle.
"Hey, I thought that got destroyed years ago."
Yugi looked down at it.
"It did, but last night I went up to my room, and it was there. I guess I didn't really think much of it though."
"Is Atemu back?" Joey asked excidetely.
Yugi shook his head.
"I don't think so."
Joey clapped him on the back.
"I miss him too buddy, I even drew a picture of him." He reached into his pocket, and brought out a folded piece of paper. Yugi took it from him, and unfolded it. He looked at the picture stunned.
((Here's the picture ---> ))


"Joey, this has got to be the worst picture I've ever seen." Yugi exclaimed, trying to hide his smile, as he pocketed it.
"Nee!" Joey slumped to his knees, "Art's never been my best subject."
Miho laughed.
"It's official Joey, you're an idiot."
"Hey, watch it Miho." Joey yelled, in a pretend offended tone.

"Yeah, they asked me to duel the champion or whatever." Joey replied yawning.
"Honestly though, I like dueling with something at stake, that's when I always do my best."
"I know what you mean." Yugi sighed, "I haven't been to interested in duel monsters since Atemu left, but it's still fun."
"Hey, why don't we go back to your house Yugi, and we can have team duels." Joey suggested.
"Awsome!" Miho squealed, "I'm with Akiko!" She winked at Akiko, "If that's alright with you of course."

((At Yugi's house))

"Hey grandpa, I'm home!" Yugi called, opening the door.
"And you brought friends." His grandfather commented smiling.
"Yeah." He set the milk down on the table, along with the change.
"We're going to go do team duels up in my room, is that alright."
His grandfather nodded.
"Certainly."

((In Yugi's room))
"You sure you both want to go up against Joey and me?" Yugi asked, laying out four dueling mats.
"Yup." Miho replied, looking through her deck, and taking out her fusion monsters.
"You do relize we're top duelists?" Joey asked, sorting through his.
"Yeah," Miho replied, "but what better way to test our skills?"
Yugi pulled out three cards from his deck, and placed them off to the side.
"Where those the egyptain god cards?" Joey asked eyeing them.
"Yeah." Yugi replied.
"Why not use them?"
"I don't like using them."
"But they're the most powerful cards!"
Yugi cast Joey a side ways look.
"Sorry." Joey mummbled.

"Eh?" Joey looked at her in suprise.
"Did you copy my deck or something?"
"Let's start the duel already!" Miho complained, "Ladies will go first, but first we shuffle." She held out her deck to Yugi, and the two of them exchanged decks, and began shuffling.

"Theme?" Miho asked, "Cuteness!" She squealed. She pulled the first card from her deck, and showed it to Akiko. It was winged kuriboh.
"That's not really a theme Miho." Yugi replied akwardly, "A theme is more like a kind of element, or monster, and trap cards you use."
"Oh," Miho replied, looking at Winged Kuriboh.

Miho smiled.
"It hasn't let me down yet."
She drew five cards from the top of her deck.
"Hmm, I'll start things off by playing Kuriboh in defense mode."
But on accident, she put him in attack mode.
