~Prologue~
Pain.
So much pain, radiating off my arm and filling my body with heavy fire. There was nothing but the pain; the world around me was a chaos I didn't recognise.
"Where is this place? How did I get this wound?"
No answers.
But then a voice, calling my name.
"Yuugi-kun...." and he was there opposite me, at the end of a dark tunnel.
"It hurts, Yuugi-kun...." I repeated, begging him to make the pain stop, to explain what was happening.
"Yuugi-kun...." One more time. Did I speak aloud? Why didn't he move?
Fire again, a different one. Fire and steel entered me, sending me reeling back away from my eyes, the pain gone. The dark tunnel few until I saw nothing.
There was words - Yuugi's voice - and then bright, blinding, lightning flamed pain.
Why?
