Note: Yami is staying out of the puzzle in this story. When he wears it he is able to use powerful magic and call out monsters, without it he can only use little bits of magic that tire's him out.
Also, just in case some of you think it is, this is NOT YAOI. I don't like it, full stop, Yugi and Yami are just great friends. Sure they love each other, but like brothers. That's how I see it, and if you don't like it, tough :P

"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
Three dark figures slipped into an alley, out of sight of a giant dragon, known as Curse of Dragon. The
yellow dragon flew past the alley, only casting a glance in before flying onward.
One of the three people looked out of the alley and watched the creature leave. With a sigh, he retreated back to his friends. "We can't keep hiding forever you know."
"But Yugi, what else can we do?" Joey said, looking at the street, as if expecting a monster to appear and attack them, though that wouldn't be any surprise. "If we don't hide, Bakura's monsters will catch up with us, and what would happen then? They'd kill us."
"Bakura wouldn't let them kill us..."
Yugi and Joey looked over to the final member of their group, who was sitting silently in the corner. "What do you mean Yami?" Yugi asked him with confusion.
"Bakura wouldn't kill us, that's too simple," Yami explained, looking us at the night sky, which was
completely black, but held no glittering stars. "He'd give us a faith worse than death."
"How do you mean?" Joey asked cautiously, slightly worried of the answer.
Yami shrugged. "Who knows. Torture, enslavement, that kind of thing I guess."
The three of them sat in silence for a while, before Yugi spoke. "If only he hadn't gotten the
puzzle..."
"Yugi for that last time, that wasn't your fault," Yami said, looking over at his friend.
Yugi just looked at the ground. He knew it probably wasn't is fault the puzzle was taken, but he couldn't help but feel it was. He was possessor of the Millennium Puzzle, he had been warned by Shadi to take care of it, but he had failed.
"Ok," came Yami's reply from the kitchen as Yugi headed out the door.
As he was walking down the street, he had the feeling he was being followed, but when he looked back, their was nothing there, so he shrugged it off.
When he had reached the park, it seemed oddly quiet, and there were no people anywhere. "That's weird," Yugi thought as he reached the centre of the park and looked around.
Suddenly, Yugi head the bushes nearby rustle, as something moved quickly through them. He turned only to see a rock flying towards his face. He feel back as the unexpected attack caught him off-guard, causing it to hurt more. He sat up and covered his face, groaning in pain. He felt a sharp pain as the attacker kicked him across the head, knocking him down again. His vision blurred and he saw blood from the cut on his forehead caused by the rock earlier fall to the ground. Before he fell into darkness, he caught a glimpse of his attacker...Bakura.
It turned out that Bakura had collected all the other Millennium Items except the Puzzle, and on that very day, the sapphire blue sky had turned back with storm clouds. The air became icy cold, but it didn't rain, hail or snow, the clouds just covered the sky, allowing very little light to escape through them.
After that, monster began appear around the city. Bakura soon began collecting followers and disposing of those who refused. Many were on the run, more were after giving in, and some were imprisoned in Bakura's HQ.
"Well, there's no point in staying here," Joey said standing up. "We've got no shelter and it's starting to rain."
Yugi looked up at the sky and saw a few raindrops falling. He sighed in frustration as is suddenly began to pour down on them. Soon they were all running as fast as they could the through the rain. They knew the were safest when it was raining, because most of the monsters couldn't see them in the heavy rain.
"You know, I'm starting to think we're the only people in the city on the run," Joey said, dusting off a chair and sitting on it, before it cracked under him.
"It's a possibility..." Yami said, ignoring Joey and he started yelling at the 'stupid chair'. He looked over and saw Yugi looking out a window. He hadn't said anything, and Yami knew why. He walked over and put his hand on Yugi shoulder. "Don't worry Yugi, I'm sure your grandfather's fine, and the others are fine too."
"How can you be so sure!" Yugi turned quickly to face Yami. He knew that Yami could see he was trying to hold back the tears, but he didn't care at the moment.
Yami frowned, but kept his voice calm as he spoke. "Now isn't the time to break down Yugi, we need to be strong. If we are the only people left, in this city, then it's up to us to save everyone. We can't afford to lose hope."
Yugi looked at the floor at shut his eyes tight, fists clenched. As he felt the tears fall, he also felt Yami put his arm around him to comfort him. Slowly he calmed down and looked at Yami. "Your right, thanks.." he said and smiled.
"Psst! Guys!" Joey whispered loudly over to them as he looked out the door. "Someone's comin'!"
"Who?" Yami whispered back, looking over at the door.
Joey looked out and narrowed his eyes to try and see who it was. Then his eyes widened. "It's Bakura!"
