Dear god, if you can't make me own Yu-Gi-Oh! Then please make the guy who does own it my mind slave!
Me: O.K. This one has been playing in my mind for a while now! And now I can't just ignore it anymore.
Yugi: I've heard this one is a little different to our first one.
Me: Well you heard right shorty!
Seto: Can I do the intro this time?
Yami: depends on whether Yugi has forgiven you for what you said last time!
Seto: Pweese Yugi? (Puppy dog eyes)
Yugi: Don't you give me that look! I invented that look!
Seto: Please, please, please?
Yugi: Well Chan? What do you reckon?
Me: Well…O.K. then!
Seto: (picks Yugi and Chan up and swings them round) Yay! Thank You! (Puts them down)
O.K.! This is set during DOOM just after the train crashes. Only the way this story is wrote; Joey and Tristan were on the train at the time it crashed as well as Yami and Tea! This fanfic Does NOT follow the story line after the train crashes! Oh and in most of Chan's stories, they live in America and this is no exception.
Now! I think that Chan should do the warnings!
Me: Thanks babe! Nothing to lose sleep over. Bit of mild swearing, boy/boy but not Yami/Yugi any feelings there are strictly brotherly! Mentions of child abuse, torture, rape, self harm……I do tend to get a little bit carried away with my descriptions of injuries as readers of 'falling for ever' may already know! You have been warned!
Yami: so, if this is different from 'falling for ever' does that mean that I get a better deal in this one?
Me: oh baby! I am so, so, so sorry for what I put you through in my stories...... (Voice fades out)
Through the tinted window
Chapter 1
Saviour
Normal P.O.V.
The train came hurtling straight off the tracks. It was completely out of control, nearing the edge of a very steep, very high cliff over a forest. Yami had his eyes shut, but that didn't stop the feeling of him overbalancing on the edge of the roof. He was going to fall! He was never going to rescue Yugi! He was going to die without having said sorry! It was all over! Except it wasn't. He felt strong but skinny arms wrap around him and pull him back. He was flung roughly onto the roof of the train.
"Lie down!" commanded a familiar Brooklyn accent. "Hold onta someting!" Yami did as he was told. He felt Joey throw an arm over his back and opened his eyes to see that his friend was curling the fingers on his free hand around a bar on the roof. Yami copied Joey and braced himself for the train to come to a stop. Only it didn't. Yami got a feeling in the pit of his stomach like when you are in a car that just went over a hill to quickly.
The train was falling, speeding the group towards the ground and certain death……
-----
From where he was standing in his lair Dartz could see everything. He saw the train leave the tracks, saw the Pharaoh nearly fall only to be tugged back by his friend, he saw the train plunge off the cliff…
"No! I need him to be alive!" he shouted, flinging out his hand.
-----
Yami's grip was slipping; he somehow slid out from under Joey's arm and went flying backwards. He smacked into someone and they lost there grip too. He heard the other person gasp in his ear.
"I'm sorry Tea!" screamed Yami attempting to slow himself down by grabbing Tea in one hand and another part of the train in the other.
"Oh well, it can't be helped now." Tea called. Those were the last words Yami heard before the train hit the ground, he was hurled backwards into the door of the emergency hatch that had come open and he was knocked out.
Tristan's body was thrown free of the wreckage and he lay on the ground, not quite conscious, whispering Joey's name over and over. The only sign of the boy whose name was being called was a limp blooded arm hanging over the edge of the train engine. Yami and Tea's bodies were hidden within the crumpled wreck. Then Tristan lost consciousness and the only sound was the ominous hiss of wires.
------
Tea opened her eyes. She blinked. She blinked again. She couldn't see a thing!
"Oh good god! I've gone blind!" then here mind caught up to her and she reasoned that she of coarse had not gone blind and that she couldn't see anything because the emergency hatch had slammed shut, blocking out the light. The air was thick with a smell that Tea hopped she was imaging. Just to make sure, Tea ran her hands over her body. Finding only small cuts she told herself that it had to just be some kind fluid that the train was leaking.
"First I need light, then I'll see what I can do about the ventilation in this place. I need some fresh air in here." she felt around the floor until her hands came across something soft. Her hands run up and down the object until she realised that it was in fact a human leg! Not just a leg, an entire human body! Whoever owned the body was dressed in leather trousers and a tight sleeveless top. They were also drenched in a sticky liquid that Tea was sure would be the colour of deep crimson red. Fearing the worst; Tea found the persons arm and then cringed as she felt a duel disk attached to the boy's wrist.
"Oh please no!" she gasped. She rested her hands on the boy's waist. She let her fingers trail over the two belts wrapped around the person's skinny hips. There was now no mistaking who this person was.
"Oh, Yami." Tea was getting close to tears. The amount of blood, it was defiantly blood, covering the young pharaoh's body was what scarred her the most. That andthe way Yami hadn't moved a single muscle since she had found him. But Tea was one of those people who can always find a way to work out problems, and she knew how she could solve the problem of needing light to see now.
She had spent enough of her time in the past examining those belts to know what was attached to them off by heart. Just next to the case were Yami kept his duelling deck, was a torch that Yami had clipped on before they left Domino. Tea quickly found the torch and unhooked it. Flicking the switch, there was suddenly a dim light coming from the torch bulb. It wasn't much, but it was bright enough to see by.
Tea gasped as the game king's body was illuminated. There was so much blood! The main part of the blood seemed to be coming from his left leg. Part of one of the walls of the train had crumpled in on itself trapping Yami's leg underneath it.
"Yami, come on. Wake up please!" Tea was shaking her friend in a desperate attempt to wake him. The boy suddenly twitched and let out a soft moan. He opened his eyes and struggled to focus on the swimming image of Tea in front of him.
"Ooh… Tea? Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me. God Yami, you had me so worried."
"I'm sorry." Then pain shot through Yami's body and he lost consciousness yet again.
"Yami? Yami. Yami!" clear tears ran down Tea's cheeks as she looked down at the still form of her special friend in front of her.
"Tea? Tea? Is that you down there?" Tea turned her tear streaked face upwards to the direction the noise was coming from.
"Tristan, is that you?" she called.
"Yep, it's me! Joey's up here too!"
"How are ya Tea?"
"I'm fine Joey. Are you two, O.K.?"
"Well I'm fine. I was knocked clear when the train crashed." Reported Tristan. "Joey has got like a million cuts and bruises and we think he might have a broken wrist." Tea let out a low hiss in the back of her throat.
"'Might'?! There is no 'might' abou' it!" yelled a put out Joey. "If my wrist weren't broken do ya reckon dat it would be able to do dis?" Joey was now obviously doing something that was either disgusting or abnormal, or maybe both, to his wrist.
"Joey stop it! That is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen!" screamed Tristan.
"Err, guys? Aren't you for getting something?" Tea was getting fed up with constantly being at each others throats all the time.
"Sorry Tea." Shouted Joey
"Erm, Tea we've got some bad news. We can't find Yami." Tristan sounded very serious.
"That would be because he is down here with me."
"Really? Well dat's a relief! We were starting to tink he mighta been dragged under the train!" Joey sighed with relief.
"Hey Yami! How you doing mate?" asked Tristan, the smile was evident in his voice.
"Err, Tristan, I don't think he s going to be able to hear you." Tea's voice was wavering and cracking as she struggled to hold in fresh sobs of tears.
"Why is dat den?" asked Joey.
"He's hurt." Explained Tea.
"Yami is hurt?" cried a distressed Tristan. "Oh god! He's not…dead is he?"
"No. His leg is trapped under part of the wall and he's losing absolute gallons of blood. He's unconscious. But no. He's not dead." Tristan was the one who let out a low hiss this time. He and Joey were thinking the same thing. The way Tea said 'he's not dead' made sound like Yami was hanging to life by a dangerously thin thread and that the thread might be cut at any minuet.
"Just hold on Tea. we'll get you out in a second." Tristan sounded very weak. "I'm just going to rest a bit first…"
"Yeah. Me too…" Joey was mumbling, his voice barely audible. Tea knew enough about first aid to know it was a bad idea for the boys to go to sleep.
"No Tristan! No Joey! You have to stay awake!" but it was no use, the boy's had already drifted into sleep and neither of them could hear Tea's pleas.
"No…" she whispered. She was starting to feel exceptionally faint. She wouldn't have minded a little rest herself. "No…have to stay awake… but I'm so tired… so, so, so, tired……" and then she collapsed on the floor, with her arms over the bloody body of the trapped former king of Egypt. "So tired…No…" and then, she too, lost consciousness.

Dream
A young teenager, too short for his age, was slammed against the brick wall by the bullies.
"Please, I'm begging you! Please stop!" the bullies just laughed.
"Bet you would like us to stop wouldn't you?" sneered their leader. The boy knew better than to answer. The question was intended to be rhetorical. The leader smashed a fist against the small boy's cheek, causing him to gasp in pain and shock. Still he refused to say anything.
"Hey runt! When I ask you a question I expect you to answer it!" the poor boy was too petrified to move let alone answer a question. The leader had really lost his temper now!
He grabbed the boy by his collar and threw him roughly to the ground. He then got on the floor next to his victim and knelt with one knee on the younger teen's back. He lent forwards and tucked blonde bangs behind the ear of the boy he was trapping. He whispered very softly into the ear he was stroking hair behind.
"I really don't want to have to hurt you Yugi, but it seems you are leaving me no choice. So tell me…" he suddenly gave the boy's hair a vicious tug and yelled a question at the top of his lungs right in his captive's ear. "DO YOU WANT US TO STOP?!" he shouted it so loud that Yugi couldn't help but scream. The bully smirked and sat back up again pulling at the boy's hair all the while.
"Alright shrimp! You have well and truly asked for it, and now we are going to give it to you ten times over!" he nodded to his friends, and they all raised their fists. "On three." Commanded the leader. "One, two…" in the split second before the bully shouted 'three' the puzzle hanging around Yugi's neck let off a soft glow that none of the bullies saw. And neither did the bullies realise the subtle changes in Yugi's hairstyle and height.
"Three!" the fists of the group of Domino high seniors rained down onto the back of 'Yugi'.
(Dream change)
After the bullies attack on Yugi Moto's alter-ego 'Yami' the two boys' were sitting in the bathroom of the game shop were they lived. Yami was in solid form and was sitting on the edge of the bath. Yugi was in spirit form and was sitting next to Yami cleaning all the wounds the ancient eighteen year old had gained.
"Hey Yami, can I ask you a question?"
"Of coarse you can Yugi! I can't stop you from asking me something." The pharaoh grinned at the look on his young doubles face.
"Let me rephrase that. If I ask you a question, will you answer it?" Yami smiled fondly at the tinny teenager cleaning his damaged skin.
"Well that depends. I can't answer any question if the answer is rude or really personal." His grin widened. "Nothing about ancient Egypt!"
"No it's not that! It's just; I was wondering……why did you just let those bullies hurt you? Why didn't you fight them off?" Yami's face saddened.
"Yugi, I think I should tell you. The leader had a gun in the inside pocket of his jacket." Yugi gasped. "I am pretty sure he would have used it if I had tried to escape." Yugi wrapped his arms around the pharaoh.
"Thank you Yami."
(Dream change)
It had just gotten dark and Yugi was on holiday with his Grandpa and obviously Yami came as well. Yugi was standing on the beach with his spirit friend. Suddenly the young boy threw his hands out to the sides and yelled so loudly it like he was speaking to the universe. "MY NAME IS YUGI MOTO AND I AM GONNA' BE THE BEST DUELLIST IN THE WORLD!" Yami laughed at his look-alike's antics.
"NO YUGI MOTO! I AM GONNA' BE THE BEST DUELLIST IN THE WORLD AND NOT YOU!" Yugi then jumped him from behind. Yami found himself being dragged to the ground were he and Yugi had a play fight in the sand.
(Dream change)
Yami, the king of games, had been defeated. The seal of Oreichalkos was closing in on him. He could faintly hear Raphael taunting him. Then he felt two small hands pushing him out of the way. He turned to see who had saved him.
"Yugi! What are you doing here?"
"I won't let this happen to you!"
"What are you doing Yugi?"
"It only needs one of us Yami, so I'm letting the seal take me instead."
"Yugi! No! Stop, wait!" but it was too late. The seal of Oreichalkos had disappeared and it had taken Yugi's soul with it.
End Dream
Yami's P.O.V.
'I'm gonna' be the best duellist in the world…'
I sat bolt upright and then fell backwards again as pain surged through my body. I was lying on a soft bed. Oh help! This was really bad! I had no idea were I was! And oh double help! This was really, really bad! I had no idea who I was!
End Chapter
Me: O.K. everybody at the end of each chapter I will ask a question and anyone and everyone who gets it right will get the next chapter dedicated to them! And this chapters question is……How will Yami remember everything?
Yami: Oh sod it! You really, really hate me don't you?
Me: Na I love you to bits it's just that you are a good way of getting people to R&R!
