Author's Note - "Unknown Life" is my very first fanfiction so review whatever you think about it. I'm willing to take any advice to improve my writing skills; they might change since I'm weird like that. I'm going to leave it T rated since I'm not sure what's M rated anymore because the world is changing so if you think it should go up, just message me or review about it. I don't really like OCs much so I will be using some characters from the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. Remember, this is fanfiction.

Prologue
Dark, gray clouds were slowly approaching the city and its residents as the sky was turning from sunny to gloomy.
A two-toned brunet with chocolate eyes that goes by the name of Jaden Yuki was running down a crowded sidewalk, bumping into people.
The silver charms and lockets that are connected to his bracelet kept dangling and clinking against each other.
"Sorry! Excuse me!" exclaimed the brunet every time he bumped into someone.
Within the packed sidewalk, he finally decided that he ran far enough from where he came and stopped hustling.
He noticed he came to a stop at a broken-down, abandoned hotel that seemed to be falling apart. It was obvious because of the huge, deep cracks that engraved the place and the building bricks scattered around it.
He was supporting himself up from collapsing (because he was worn out from all the running he did) by leaning his body onto the surface of the small hotel.
He looked up to the clouded sky and many thoughts were going through his mind as he was panting.
'I need to find a place to stay before the rain starts to pour down. But… where can I go? …Where should I go? Maybe I should probably stay at this hotel for tonight…'
Jaden took a look at the hotel.
'…Or not. I am definitely not going to risk my life.'
He brought his wrist up to his face and stared at his bracelet that he received from who he thought was his parents since he was born. Couples of charms and lockets were added to the bracelet through the years. Some reminded him of the best times of his life while others reminded him of the worst times.
He looked away from his bracelet and noticed a beautiful, modern condo that was about 10 feet right next to the hotel and gaped at it. It was three times the size of the hotel!
'How did I not notice a place like that?'
Drip.
A drop of water had fallen from the sky onto the brunet's left cheek and slid down to his chin and plopped down onto the pavement.
Pitter-patter pitter-patter.
He frowned.
'U-Ugh… I should probably check out the place before I get soaked from head to toe.'
The people of Domino City started bustling around, looking for shelter while others placed their briefcases, newspapers, or umbrellas over their heads to protect themselves from the crystal specks and started rushing to wherever they needed to go with caution on the slippery path.
As the mass of people were fussing around, someone accidently pushed the tired brunet with his elbow against Jaden's back, making the brown-eyed teen trip over some building bricks that surrounded the ugly hotel.
"Wh-Whoa!"
Jaden stumbled into the dark alley that was in between the hotel and the condo and was flailing his arms around in the air. His eyes widened as he tried to save himself from falling and clashing his head against the edge of a huge, grimy dumpster but it was too late.
The collision between his head and the dumpster was so strong, it made Jaden collapse on the right side of his body onto a nasty puddle of rain water that was mixed with the trash that was littered around in the alley.
Jaden's red trench coat, the black shirt underneath it, navy jeans, red shoes, and silver bracelet were now stained and soaked by the brown, smelly liquid.
Crimson blood was seeping through the wound that was on the left side of his forehead (which was formed from the sharp edge of the dumpster) and was sliding down across his features. His blood was dripping down the concrete along with the rain as he was in a fetal position on the ground, unconscious.
After a couple of minutes of the brunet being unnoticed, a man was walking towards the knocked out teen with a smirk right across his face.
