Yugi's P.O.V.
Tristan was driving, Joey was in the front passenger seat. He was messing with the radio trying to find something good to listen to but mostly all he was getting was static. "Aw c'mon!" Joey said to the radio. "Joey, it's not gonna work. Give it a rest," Tristan told him and turned it off. Joey growled and said something but I didn't catch it, before long the two in the front were bantering like usual. Nothing new there, I was looking out the window. Most of the noise had faded into the background, Tristan said something about going to the park or somewhere like that. I didn't exactly catch the end of his sentence when he said it, but I nodded to show I was listening. Albeit, the commotion coming from the front was somewhat distracting. Tea had told the two in the front to knock it off and they did for a time, clearly she was growing annoyed with their arguement as well.
She was working on something in the back seat, what it was, I couldn't be sure. She had hung up a curtain to seal it off from the rest of the van's view. It made it seem like she was hiding something, suspicious I had to admit but I shrugged it off closed my eyes. The Pharaoh was speaking, "before long we'll have all the time in the world together Aibou." I nodded, watching him before me. I felt short standing before him or anywhere near him. My height was something that bothered me for a long time, I eventually learned to ignore it. "Aibou! Open your eyes! Quick!" I listened and opened my eyes, they widened at what was happening. Tristan was too busy fighting with Joey to notice, I wanted to call out but my throat was seized up. I couldn't talk, why? It happened so fast, Tea barely had time to call out a warning before we went off the edge and hurdled down toward the ground below.
The Pharaoh was screaming madly, trying to get me to move. I was frozen in fear, he couldn't take control of my body. Even if he did, there wasn't much he could do. I saw the others jumping out before the van collided with the ground, I tried to get up and tried to follow them. My body wouldn't respond, Tristan was the last to jump. They hadn't realized that I was stuck here, why was I stuck here? Maybe it was someone's spell. Bakura's perhaps. I only had enough time to get to the floor before the van was smashed from the floor up to the ceiling. The chairs were crushed, everything inside had been flattened like a pancake. Here I was in the midst of it all, I couldn't move at all because the van had smashed around my form. I wouldn't be surprised if something was broken, I had just enough room to move my arms. I began to feel my way around, something warm was covering the floor beneath me.
I felt a little further, closer to my torso and stomach. It was thick and flowing, my hand touched something cold at the source. I realized that I was bleeding, I would probably die at this rate and I could admit that I was afraid of it. "P-pharaoh..." I whispered, coughing up blood from my lips. The crimson liquid joined the rest already spreading on the floor. Surely by now, paramedics and everything were on their way. Tristan or Joey had probably called them. That was unlikely, maybe it was Tea who did. I laughed lowly, here I was probably going to end up bleeding out. They wouldn't reach me in time. By now maybe they'd see the blood dripping on the ground, my hearing was slowly fading to a dull noise. The Pharaoh I could hear clearly, his cries to get me moving and motivated. He could only watch as I suffered, I knew it had to be painful for him to see "Aibou...no..." were the last words I could hear before I blacked out from blood loss.
The Pharaoh's P.O.V.
I could only watch as my beloved was crushed before my eyes, "Aibou! No! No!" I wanted to help him but how could I? I was just a spirit upon this time, in this world. "Aibou...no..." I'd see a lot of things, none of them had hurt like this. It felt like my heart had been torn out and burned. I could only hope the Paramedics would get here in time. I sat next to my Aibou's body, lightly playing with his hair. I prayed, hoped, that somehow he'd be okay. I placed a kiss to his temple then returned to the puzzle, curling up in my soul room in a corner. I continued to hope that he'd be okay, time passed quickly in a soul room when one grieved and worried for another. I grieved for minutes, hours, days, and possibly for weeks for my Aibou. I couldn't feel much else besides despair and emptiness. I didn't realize that my Aibou had been rescued and saved in time, that he was recovering.
I couldn't tell that he was trying to reach for me, I was in too much pain. I began to seal away the pain of what I thought would have been lose and began to wander around my soul room. For days I wandered, discovering new parts of the maze that was my mind. It seemed like there it was getting so much bigger and broader, there were new staircases by the day that had formed. Truly a puzzle inside and out, I didn't remember who I was or where I lived before my Aibou. Before Yugi. Before...Yugi... It felt like my chest had just constricted, crushing my heart and my lungs. I couldn't breathe as I collapsed to my knees. Yugi...Yugi... I needed to check up on him, whether he lived or not. I had to know before I dragged myself over a bed of nails and through hell's gates. Aibou...Aibou. I left my soul room, forming into what seemed familiar and yet so unfamiliar as well. My eyes scanned the room looking for some sign of my Aibou, this was his room. I recognized it almost instantly, my mind had slowed from being in my soul room too long. I'd have to be more careful about how much time I spend there, it could've been a year for all I know. Time in my mind and time in the world run differently, I've learned in the past.

Okay I know this is a little short but it's hard to write for Yugi and the Pharaoh. Their mannerisms are different from the ones I'm used too.
So eh, I'll write more on it when I've got more time and more to write.
