It was a day like any other. But today would be a turning point for one group of teens in Domino. Strange things happen when you cheat death. As these kids were about to find out.
"Yugi, Hurry up we'll be late." Tea replied running down the empty street.
"I'm going as fast as I can." The small, tri-coloured boy replied.
"Yugi. You need to hurry. If I'm late again, I get a detention." Joey shouted.
"I'm trying." The three teens, reached the school gates, as they were being locked. They then said goodbye and headed to there respective lessons. Yugi reached Art easily as the teacher showed up to let them in. He sat in his seat next to his other friends Yami and lesson went quick and they were soon on their way to science. Yugi stopped when he saw his friends talking away from the door. All of his friends were there, there was Joey, Tea, Yami, Ryo, Bakura, Tristan, Serenity and Marik.
The teacher then arrived and took the class inside. He started to tell the class about an experiment they were doing. It involved Ethanol and a Bunsen Burner. He was going through the safety guidelines when e was interupted by a knock at the door. A teacher asked about parents evening, and they began chatting. The bunsen burner burning and the ethanol sat near it. Also a stack of papers sat dangerously close to it. The teacher then handed the science teacher a folder and he threw it onto the desk, just missing the flame. He then sat at his desk and flicked through some files. The students were all writing down the safety instructions. The teacher started to drink some coffee, when the handlke snapped off sending boilong hot coffee onto his legs. He jumped up knocking the table sending the ethanol, papers and bunsen burner flying to the floor. It erupted in a burning ball of fire. The students watching jumped up and ran for the door. Serenity was the first there. She fiddled with the door and flung it open, only to trampled by other students. Her neck was snapped and blood was spilling onto the floor. Students on the front row were horribly burnt. Tea being the worst as the fireball came straight at her face. All that was left was black burning flesh and visible skull. Kaiba jumped up and tryed to run for the door, but he tripped over somebody's bag. Sending him falling into the window spilting his neck. His head flew to the floor and splatted on the floor like a watermelon. Ishizu was trapped by the fire in the classroom. The remaining students got out. Joey found a door marked private and ran in. He found stairs and quickly ran down. Only to find the guard dogs, which patrol the school at night. The dogs got angry that he had trespassed in there territory. They pounced onto Joey and started to rip the flesh from him. The others made it to the stairs. They ran down when marik tripped on his shoe laces and tubbled to the bottom, breaking his neck and spine. His sister Ishizu was still trapped by the fire and was inhaling a lot of smoke. She passed out and died, as the thick black smoke continued to pour into her lungs. The 4 remaining friends were running down the stairs, but the fire had eaten through the floor and was blocking ther exit. They ran to the other staircase. As they were running Ryo fell, Bakura ran back to help. A wall then fell onto them, killing them instantly. Yugi and Yami continued, when the floor gave way and Yami slipped. Yugi ran back to help. He couldn't hold on. He watched as Yami fell through his fingers, down from the 2rd floor and splatting on the ground. Yugi started to get up, it dawned on him that he was the only one. As he was getting up a pipe flew from the ground and stabbed straight through Yugi's chest.
Yugi gasped and looked around. He was in the hallway. Still with his friends.
"Are you okay Yugi?" Ryo asked him.
"No." he replied.
"Are you sick." Joey asked him. Yugi looked behind him and saw the teacher opening the door.
"We have to leave."
"What?" Tea asked.
"The schools gonna burn down."
"What do you mean?" Bakura asked.
"You heard. We have to leave." He started to run down the stairs. His friends followed. Ishizu saw her brother leaving and chased after him. Kaiba looked over. He saw that the others were leaving. He thought he might as well mock Yugi for going insane. Duke also saw this and thought he'd slip away. He wasn't needed in the lesson anyway. He might aswell have a smoke, and tell the teacher he was helping Moto.
Yugi reached the bottom of the stairs and ran outside. The others caught up easily.
"Marik! What are doing?" Ishizu asked her brother.
"I'm seeing if Yugi's alright."
"You alright Moto? You looked a little distressed. Is all the "Heart of the cards" nonsense eating away at your brain." Yami glared at him. He was about to say something when a loud boom was heard from the 4th floor. They looked up and saw a large fireball eating away at the walls of the school. They looked over Yugi. How had he seen what had happened? They all thought. They raced out of the school grounds as parts of the school started to disintegrate. Yugi fled the scene. 'How did I see what had happened? At least I saved my friends.' He thought.
He got home and ran upto his room. His phone started to ring. He answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey Yugi. It's Marik. I just want to know how you knew about the fire. They said it was an accident."
"I don't know how I just saw it."
"Like a premonition.?"
"Yeah. But it felt real."
"What did you see?"
"I saw the fire and all of you dying. Except Kaiba and Ishizu."
"Weird. I'll talk to you later. Bye." Marik hung up. Yugi was about to put the phone down when it rang again.
"Hello."
"You knew about the fire correct."
"Kaiba?"
"Correct?"
"Sort of."
"Well why didn't you say anything earlier. I could have saved my brother."
"I didn't know."
"Whatever Moto. I'll see you around." He hung up. Yugi chucked the phone onto his bed and fell onto the bed. 'I knew about the fire. I could have saved them. I could have pulled the fire alarm. But no, I was only worried about myself and my friends.' Yugi thought as he cried himself to sleep.
