Hello! I'm new to and although I've read many stories, this is my first one! I have always been a fan myself of angsty- type fanfiction and Yugioh 5ds... this idea just popped into my head one day. My inspiration? Lose My Mind by the WANTED. It's an amazing song. Anyway..critique is always welcome here, and let me know if this story is worth continuing.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh 5ds or the WANTED for that matter...simply a free fanfiction. Also, the cover picture belongs to the original owner; I just borrowed it from the Internet.

Chapter One- Inside My Head (third POV)

Yusei sighed as he (once again) locked his bedroom door. The house was eerily quiet, lacking in its normal loudness due to Crow and Jack's constant bickering. Thankfully, both of his friends had believed him and had gone on a particularly long "errand" of his. Yusei sighed again, absently running a hand through his black and yellow-streaked hair.

/My friends. I shouldn't be deceiving them like this/. The boys knew (under the threat of Martha) that they were to look out for one another, and to lie to his friends would be like lying to his brothers. But Yusei knew this was the only way to prevent them from worrying about him.

Sighing again, he sat on his bed, the wooden structure groaning in protest along with the added weight. Yusei rested his elbows on his knees, and cradled his head in his hands, bracing himself for the onslaught of memories that always seemed to assault him at least once every day; and it had almost become routine.

Then it hit him. He cringed, biting his lip as the pain wracked his body in waves, and his mind was attacked with the never ending memories that seemed to play over and over inside his head. He flinched as he heard people crying out, terrified, as they were ripped forcefully from their loved ones as a gigantic crack split New Domino and what is now known as Satellite in half. He covered his ears as they screamed, tears streaming down their faces while they ran for their lives, only to be swallowed by the menacing white light, never to return.

/Stop, make it stop, please.../ Yusei silently pleaded in his head, begging for the torture to end as he witnessed more death, more heart breaks, and overwhelming sadness that threatened to consume him.

Suddenly the excruciating pain in his head reached a new extreme, and he allowed himself a small whimper. Never more than that; he forced himself to suffer in silence, as that was just the person he had come to be.

Then as suddenly as the episode came on it was gone, or so he thought.

Rising from his crouched position, Yusei glanced at the clock on his nightstand, which read 4:03 PM. The attack had lasted only about and hour and a half; which made Yusei's shoulders slump in relief as all the tension finally drained out of them. But that moment was over shortly as Yusei forced his sore body to rise from the bed, even though every movement caused his body to scream in protest. Padding downstairs into the kitchen, he grabbed himself a glass of water, and headed to the garage.

/Now, to fix Jack's runner.../

A/N: So? how was it? Great? Terrible? Feedback is always appreciated. let me know if you think this is worth continuing; I can take critique. I was planning to incorporate some Jack/ Crow but only if you like the story so far.
