It was late. Yugi walked as fast as his short legs could take him. He had been out on a date with Mai at the movies earlier and was now hurrying to get home before it started to rain. His mind was swarmed with mixed emotions. Mai was a beautiful and skilled duelist. The day she asked him out was the day after he dueled against Rebecca. This had taken the young duelist by complete surprise. He always thought that Mai had feelings for Joey and only thought of him as just a friend.

He clearly remembered the look on Yami's face when he explained he was going out with Mai. Yami looked as if he was fighting back strong emotions, but Yugi couldn't quite figure out what exactly was bothering the strong spirit of the puzzle. He thought that maybe Yami was just shocked, but then he noticed a crystal tear make its way down Yami's cheek before he disappeared inside the puzzle.

Now Yugi wasn't so sure he really wanted to see Mai again. It wasn't that Yugi didn't enjoy spending time with her, it just felt…wrong as if he shouldn't be doing this…He considered Mai as a friend and only that.

Yugi's mind was swarming with so many thoughts at once, he thought he was going to get a major headache soon. He quickened his pace so he could get home to his Yami.

Yugi felt as if there was someone…or something watching him and it was making him uneasy.

Suddenly, two large hands covered his mouth and began to painfully drag him down the street. Broken glass pierced through his black tanktop. The scaly hands of his captor were muffling Yugi's cries.

It was just too painful. Who could be doing this to him? As far as Yugi was concerned, he had virtually no enemies.

He was being dragged by his head while jagged rocks and broken glass continued to pierce through his clothing and puncturing his delicate, powder-soft skin.

Then, his captor stopped. By this time. Yugi's face was drenched with tears. He slowly opened his eyes and took a good look at his surroundings. He was in an abandoned alleyway. His heart was racing as he struggled with all his might to break free from this person's death grip. "HELP!!" cried Yugi as soon as he temporally broke free.

"SHUT UP YOU ARRAGANT BRAT!!!!" came a glass-shattering shriek from the kidnapper. Then, Yugi was pounded further into the ground by massive fists. Blows came one after another in a merciless assault that had no sign of stopping any time soon.

As the beating continued, Yugi's bones were slowly being shattered and he lay limp on the ground. He gave up screaming when his mouth filled up with blood. It was a horrific sight.

*~*~*~*~

Ryou and Bakura were going to a nightclub. They had to sneak out because Ryou's father had gotten drunk and had threatened to kill him if he left the house. He was afraid and Ryou might go to the police and report him-again. "Bakura!! Why are you walking so fast? I can hardly keep up with you!!" whined Ryou as he grabbed Bakura's hood on his black sweater.

This made Bakura lose his balance and trip on a nearby garbage can. He fell sideways on the ground with Ryou still holding on to his hood. Both teens fell facefirst on the cement with a loud THUD!. The impact was so great, they passed out shortly after. ~*~*

Ryou's eyes fluttered open as rain poured down on him. Everything was dark and he could hear the light tapping of the rain against the metallic garbage can, which was just inches away. He looked around and saw Bakura lying peacefully beside her. "Bakura wake up! Do you know how long we've been on the ground?" Bakura twitched and slowly opened his eyes…

Tuki - alright! I know that was a horrible thing to do to poor Yugi, but I promise my story will get some interesting twists in it! ^_^ Also need some suggestions to how to torture Tea…I just hate that creature with all my heart like a canine infection!! Grrrr!!! I'll also try to make my chapters longer I realize how short this is and I apologize for that. By the way, I accept flames I don't mind reading them in fact; they help me make better chapters in my story. Buh-bye for now ^_^ - Tuki Mutou*~
