Hello everyone, how are you? I've wanted to do this story for a long time now but only recently came back to it. I had done a bit before but I decided to scrap it all, that pained my heart to do but the flow was too fast paced.

I hope you like it and decide to go on this journey with me. The updates may be quite irregular as I have to do most of it on the laptop then transferred over to my phone so that I can post it. I'll try to keep it to 1 chapter per month unless I say so.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh

UPDATE: I just worked it all out and in order for me to do the thing that I want to with this I will need to upload once a week. This will usually be posted on a Monday, hopefully this has not inconvenienced any one.

So glad that I'm a few chapters ahead.

With the sun barely peaking out through the low density clouds, two cloaked figures swung their legs recklessly from a slated roof. Below them were wanders, ordinary people set upon knowing who had called them here at this ungodly hour. A third person joined the two but remained silent and covered in suffocating shadows, a few lightning blonde bangs sticking to the sides of his face.

The person to the right of him scoffed at the mass of people before them, in a different time they would have come together like this to worship God's or highly ranked people like royals. Sandy blonde hair peaked out of his hood and he attempted to push it all back in - much to the white haired person's amusement.

Chocolate brown eyes scanned the people, a frown on his face after being whacked in the head by the blonde. The person they were looking for wasn't here nor was there any sign that he had been here, nothing was out of the ordinary with this village.

Had they been given the wrong information? It was no joke that he was able to slip by many people's detection but...a person like him would eventually be hunted down like a wanted criminal if not found soon.

"It doesn't look like he's here either, what do you want us to do?" Not daring to look him in the face the white haired male kept his eyes to the ground.

"Do whatever you want." He sounded bored but the air around him said a totally different story. A story that if we didn't find him soon it would spell danger for everyone who crossed his path.

It wasn't just that though and as the one who has joined them left they let out a deep breath. "He's getting more temperamental the more we search. If we don't hurry up we'll either be killed by him or caught by those scientists."

"You worry too much Bakura-"

"And you don't worry enough, Melvin." The white haired male named Bakura glared at the other. "There are many ways he can kill us if we screw up, last time he was this tense we barely made it out alive."

Melvin waved his hand in the air, dismissing the comment as he looked behind to see that the roof was empty. There were scortch marks though and that sent shivers down his normal steadfast spine. Bakura was right, they had to find him fast if they didn't want to end up dead.

White hair rushed through the dark halls of what looked like an abandoned house, the smell of death still lingered in the air even after weeks of vigorous cleaning. The shop below had been closed long before but it wouldn't take too long for people to realise that there were people still living here.

Not just people but children.

In the dark he had bounded down a small set of stairs and into a storage room that had been fashioned into a makeshift bedroom. Crawled up into a small ball was a bundle of pure black hair that looked more like a cat than a human.

Amethyst eyes were meant to look up from that small ball but they didn't...in fact it didn't move or breathe for that matter. Panicked, the boy ran over only to find that the closer he got the less it looked human. Scared of what was meant to be human he ran back upstairs to find his brother.

"Malik!" He hissed while knocking on the bedroom door. Why did he have such a bad feeling about this?

When the door finally opened, doe brown eyes were met with annoyed lavender. "What the hell do you want?" he asked, still half asleep with hair that seemed to have a mind of its own.

"I-I-It's Yugi, there's a ball of fluff that isn't Yugi."

"Ryou, when the hell has Yugi been a ball of fluff? Just go back to bed and don't annoy me again."

Pouting, he refused to let him go so began to pull on his pajama sleeve. He had to believe him, Yugi copyhold be in trouble the more they just stand there. So reluctantly Malik tiredly followed, yawned every now and then in an attempt to rid himself of sleepiness which wasn't hard to do when he arrived at Yugi's makeshift room.

"Ryou...tell me that you and Yugi are pulling a prank on me."

The ball of fluff that Ryou had seen was just a pillow and a blanket that had been fashioned into Yugi's ball shape. Not just that but when Malik stepped out he realised that the front door had been left a jar. He prayed to God it wasn't what it looked like.

But it was. Ryou had fallen to the floor only for his hand to hover over burn marks, hot to the touch marks that he had come to recognise. As if his life depended on it Ryou ran outside and sure enough in the morning light sat a shrivelled up Yugi who was shaking violently, blood pooling around him.

Ryou didn't mind the blood or the body that lay a few feet away from them. All Ryou could see was his small brother, barely 6 years old and sitting outside in the cold. Nothing else mattered to him, it was almost like second nature to him as he sat by his dark haired brother.

A frown furrowed his eyebrows as he took in his pure black hair that lay softly against his back, how did he manage to grow it that long? "How about we give you a haircut, you look as though you're in desperate need of one. We can go to a hairdresser that Grandpa told us about."

Yugi looked up at the doorway to see that Malik had his back turned to him, all he wanted was for his brothers acceptance but that would never happen. Not as long as they stayed in this part of the region, they needed to go somewhere else entirely.

"Will the nasty people try to take me away?" His voice was so soft and yet so painful to hear.

Slowly Ryou wrapped boys arms around him and slowly sent Yugi to sleep. "No one will hurt you or take you away Yugi." That's what he wanted to believe anyway even if he couldn't promise it.

"Don't lie Ryou..." he yawned and snuggled up closer, a tear dripping down his porcelain skin "everyone will hurt me when they find out and there will always be one person who wants to take me away from you."

With that he finally fell asleep and as the sun shone brightly on them a plan was made to sneak out of the main regions all together. Where no big powers could take them away, where no one spying judge Yugi, where they could live happily.

That's where they would go and stay for the rest of their lives until Yugi could control himself better.

Or that's what they wanted to happen at least.
