Authors Note: Uh hi this is my second YGO fic and so I hope you all sit back and enjoy the Angst and Tragedy of it all…Why do I write sad thing you ask? I don't have a fricken clue. Okay getting a little of topic so here's the gist of it, I don't write Yaoi and never will…no wait I did once….never mind but this is not Yaoi so no male/male pairings, in fact I'm not sure if I'll pair anyone in this fic. Secondly, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and I never will, I'm sorry everyone. Thirdly, I'm speculating on events so don't kill me. Now Last but not least, I'm really not sure if I'll finish this fic, but if I get good reviews it will go on!

Now Yugi's life slowly starts going down hill, can his friends help him through it?
Yu-Gi-Oh: Torn Apart:
Chapter one:
I've been staring at these cards for the last hour; what a way to spend a Saturday, staring at a bunch of cards you defeated but not sure if you can use them. Grandpa went out shopping and left me in charge of the Game shop but business isn't booming today. Not even Tea, Joey or Tristan bothered to stop by today, maybe they're busy doing their own thing. I'm still staring at the cards, I wonder what I'm hoping to find in them…Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, The Winged Dragon of Ra…I'm still staring at them, I've been like this for a hour. Perhaps I'm waiting for them to come to life or something. I lean on the counter then drift my attention to the door; I'm waiting for that to come to life too, even having grandpa walk through that door would be entertaining enough.
I sigh loudly, it's too damn quiet for my liking I'm use to talking to someone even if no one was around. Well that just because of Atemu…but he's gone now he returned to Ancient Egypt where he belongs. I bet that's more entertaining than just sitting at the Game Shop all by yourself.
I glanced at the Digital clock sitting just above the Cash Register; it was noon, maybe I should close the shop for a bit to get some lunch. Besides it's not like anyone's coming in a buying cards yet. Guess it was one of those slow days or something like that I decided and went over to the door. Just before I flipped the sign from open to close the door swung open knocking me off my feet.
"Hey Yug…Whoa opps, hey lil bud you okay?" It was Joey, he hadn't seen me at the door, I knew this cause I was so short I couldn't be noticeable.
"Hey Joey," I rubbed my nose and stood up; "I'm fine really it's just a bump."
"That's good; say where is all the business? Ain't people supposed to be here? Yah know Buyin cards and stuff," Joey asked me. I tried hard not to laugh; sometimes it took a master mind to figure out what Joey was trying to get across.
"The Store has been like this all day Joey; Grandpa went out to finish a few things," I yawned, "It's been a Boring Saturday so far."
"I can see dat Yug. Hey How about we call the gang and go out fer lunch?" Joey asked me and I smiled back. It would be fun, but Grandpa told me I shouldn't….Oh what the heck.
"Sure lets do it Joey," I went over to the phone and dialed up Tea's Number first. Her number was the easiest number to remember out of my three best friends, probably because the last three digits were the same.
"Hello Gardner Residence," Answered Tea's mother.
"Hello Mrs. Gardner is Tea there?" I asked in my usual friendly voice.
"Oh Hello Yugi, I'll get her right now. Tea Dear Phone!" she called from the other end and I waited watching Joey call Tristan on his cell phone.
"Hello?" Tea was on the line as soon as her mother hanged up the downstairs phone.
"Hey Tea," I grinned even though she could see me; perhaps it was just a bad habit I had gotten myself into.
"Oh Hi Yugi, What's up?" she asked almost excited as if I was going to cure her boring Saturday afternoon.
"Joey and I where wondering if you'd like to go to Lunch, Joey's already asking Tristan."
"Hey that sounds Great, things couldn't be any duller over here," I could almost guess that she was smiling and getting ready as she was talking to me, "I'll be over in just a while."
"Cool, see you then Tea," I nodded.
"Bye," she hung up the phone a lot quicker than I did. I turned to Joey and he gave me the thumb up that Tristan was coming too.
I'm finally relieved that some one came to cure my boredom. Just as I was about to lock up everything my eyes glanced towards the Egyptian God Cards they where on display but not for sale. I couldn't help staring at them for a really long time as if they brought back memories of wonderful and terrible times.
"Yugi?" Tea called as she walked up behind me. Had I been staring at the cards for more than a minute? I blinked and looked up at Tea and smiled.
"Hey."
"Hey yourself are you gonna lock up?" Tristan asked standing next to Joey as I turned to them and smiled.
"Oh right," I quickly finished locking everything up and shoved the keys in my pocket after flipping the open sign to close and locking the door, "So where do you guys wanna go?"
"How about McDonalds?" Tristan suggested.
"No way I don't want to go to another fast food restaurant ever again, last time I went I got food poisoning," Tea replied looking ready to throw up at the sound of a fast food place.
"How about we go to that new Chinese Restaurant?" I suggested. I knew Tea loved Chinese food.
"Bah, why don't I just go to China?" Joey asked.
"Fist of all it's too far away Joey," Tristan said almost laughing.
"And Secondly it's to expensive, only Kiaba could go to China and eat food there and come back in less than an hour," Tea said partly giggling.
"Yeah Money Bags there can do what ever he feels like it just cause he's rich and we ain't," Joey grumbled.
"I think Chinese food is a wonderful idea Yugi," Tea smiled at me and my eyes widen, we're going with my idea. Wow I still wasn't quiet use to people actually accepting my thoughts; usually the only one who accepted my thoughts was….the Pharaoh. I still can't help but miss the Millenium puzzle that hung around my neck. I almost walked right past the restaurant and I would have if Joey hadn't grabbed my shoulder to stop me. I should really pay more attention.
"Welcome, would you like a table for four?" Asked the waitress as we entered.
"Yeah that'd be great," Joey said and I fallowed them dragging my feet a bit. I sat down at the table and stared at the Menu. I must have stared at the menu for too long since Joey nudged me a bit.
"Hey Yug want anything to drink?" he asked at for the waitress as she was standing right above me.
"No water is fine thank you," I smiled and looked back at the menu.
"See anything you like Yugi?" Tristan asked as he looked up at me from his menu. There wasn't anything I really wanted on here but I suppose…
"I'm havin the all you can eat!" Joey called up and broke my thoughts.
"Yeah I suppose I'll have that too," I smiled brightly. We ate and talked about Duel monsters, Cards, Kiaba (Joey just had to mention him and make a smart ass comment), Duel Tournaments and even mention about the Egyptian god cards. Though we never mentioned the one who could wheel them.
I glanced at my watch and before I knew it, it was already 3:30. Grandpa should be home by now and he wouldn't be to happy with me for leaving the shop closed for that long. It seemed that I wasn't the only one who noticed the time Joey got up quickly reaching for his wallet to pay for his share.
"I almost forgot I got to pick up Serenity from Swim Lessons," He put the money on the table.
"Yeah and I should get back to the shop, Grandpa's not going to be to happy with me when I get back," I grabbed my money and placed it on the table as well, "See you guys tomorrow." I waved and ran out of the restaurant and headed back to the game shop quickly. I knew I shouldn't have let the game shop go for that long but I guess I got carried away with my friends.
The odd thing was when I got home the door was still locked, Grandpa hadn't returned yet. I sighed in relief but then worry rushed over me. Grandpa wouldn't spend half the day out…did something happen? Just as I was almost about lost in thought the phone rang. I jumped and looked at the phone and blushed, heh the phone scared me….
"Hello?" I answered hopping it was grandpa.
"Hello is this Mr. Yugi Mouto?" Asked the voice on the other end. I blinked this wasn't my Grandpa but then who was it.
"Yeah, uh who's this?" I asked hesitating a little bit.
"This is Officer Natoshi; we believe your Grandfather has been in a serious accident," the voice replied and I froze in my spot.
"What…kind…" I was afraid to hear the answer.
"A Heart attack." I dropped the phone, this couldn't be real it had to be some wild dream. I knew Grandpa had a Heart attack before but…He had Heart Surgery and they said something like that would never happen again.
"Mr. Mouto…? Hello?" The voice called out but I couldn't seem to find the will to pick it up again. Grandpa he couldn't….no…not now….he couldn't die…I haven't even finished High school yet…he can't die.
