Alert: Blood, gore, and death

It was your normal, average day in Domino City. Kaiba was polishing his jet, Mokuba was watching SpongeBob, Duke was trying to win Serenity, Tristan was trying not to fail miserably at Duel Monsters, Tea was making friendship speeches everyone hated, Marik was at Build-A-Egyptian-God Workshop, Bakura was finding gay people with his Gaydar, and Joey was eating enormous pizzas.

You may ask: "Where is Yugi?"

We'll get to that. But for now, let's take a small look the night before…

Trees tapped on the windows and leaves rustled in the distance. It was a silent night in the Game Shop. Yugi had gone to bed for the night. Or so he did.

"They all ignored me. They all rejected me. They all shunned me." Yugi ranted coldy in his bedroom followed by rumbling of boxes and other noises.

"Well they could all say goodbye to Yugi Moto, cause Yugi's no more." he continued, clenching his fist as if he were crushing all his so call friends.

Yugi openned the door and hurried downstairs to the front door, slamming it closed behind him so hard it would've woke the whole city up. In his small hands he carried a large box with all his belongings like toys, pictures he planned to burn, and his Duel Monsters deck. Yugi's soft, amethyst eyes suddenly narrowed down into a deep, dark, crimson color. They glistened in the darkness of the night. Such beauty yet such deep darkness hidden within.

"HEART OF THE CARDS" he said in a raspy voice with a demented, almost insane smile.

So, where is Yugi? No one knows. He disappeared.

"Hey yo, Tea, you seen Yuge anywhere?" Joey asked the next morning.

"No, I haven't," she answered.

"Huh…" said Joey in a puzzled, almost worried voice.

"Yugi always comes here every morning to see us," informed Tea.

"He's 'probly just a bit lazy dis mornin' ya know. Not everyone can resist sleepin' in da whole Saturday morning," said Joey.

"I guess you're right," said Tea.

"I think I'm going to call Yugi to test my new possibly not sucky Duel Monsters skills," thought Tristan as he ate breakfast. After he finished, he got up and scooted over to the phone and dialed Yugi's number.

No one answered.

"Huh," said Tristan, puzzled. "Yugi always picks up. I wonder why he didn't."

"I wonder if I should go bother Bakura or recruit mindslaves." Marik thought as he woke up.

"I think I want to go get mindslaves." Marik declared and climbed out, got dressed, and went outside to scavenge for mindslaves.

"I guess I'll start with Yugi first." said Marik as he smirked smugly. With the Millenium Scepter behind his back, he walked up to the Game Shop door and knocked.

No answer.

"Well that's odd. Yugi always answers and accidentally falls for it," thought Marik.

Duke slept on the couch, snoring.

Now most of you have seen, most characters are wondering where Yugi is. Well, he's actually in a secret underground lair below Domino City. Remember that night? The night he ran away? The night his heart was taken over by darkness? He's back for vengeance. Not just any old vengeance. More like revenge. He's back to kill his friends.
