Okay, so here's another story…anyone else who might know me here might ask, "What are you doing now? You have other fics to be working on!" But I couldn't pass this up and I thought that it was time for another one. Don't worry though. I'll still work on my other ones!

There are a few things I need to clarify about this story before any of you read it.

This is NOT a romance fic. That means: no shipping, NO yaoi!!! I am not that kind of writer.

I am aware that certain millennium items have certain powers that the other ones don't have; so if I don't get their powers exactly right, don't yell at me. (plz? TT) It's just how this fic works. Okay? ()

Also if anyone has anything to complain about this fic in the way the characters are please tell me. I don't want anyone to seem out of character. (Kaiba might be the only problem…some people make him too nice or too mean…I want him to be nicer but not TOO nice….)

I might have Yami be called: Yami, Pharaoh or Atem, depending on who says it. If anyone has a favorite, let me know! (I usually call him Yami though…)

I know I'm using the English names for everyone, but for Bakura, that's different. For Yami Bakura, I'm going to just call him Bakura. And as for the original, I'll call him Ryou. I don't think anyone will complain. It is easier to type anyway. 

Well, I think that's it for now, so on to the story!!

"Corona."

Chapter 1.

"How can they duel now?" Kaiba asked himself. "I would think that at least they would stop now…at school…"

It was a fine spring day at Domino High but the occupants of the school were forced to stay indoors. It was study period, and everyone was supposed to be working on homework or studying. However, everyone was too restless in the stuffy room to care too much about schoolwork. The students resigned to sleeping, talking with friends, or listening to music. The teacher desperately tried to keep her students in check, but she too was affected with the weather and kept to her desk, reading a book after ten minutes of trying to wake up several kids to no avail. Kaiba taking to her example and was reading a book, until a commotion from in front of him drew his attention. Yugi and Joey were both dueling normally, with Tea and Tristan just sitting there, watching. Supposedly Joey had a pretty good strategy going on until Yugi stopped it at the last minute. Kaiba just rolled his eyes and returned to his book.

"Man, how does that always happen?" Joey looked at Yugi. "You always stop my best strategies!"

"Just lucky I guess," Yugi looked down at the cards then looked next to him. Yami was standing next to him, only in his eyes. The pharaoh was looking out of the window a lot today, and Yugi wondered what was on his mind. But with school and his friends, he wasn't able to ask Yami anything without drawing attention to himself. So, he thought that he would wait until after school. Yugi then noticed that Joey was giving him an odd look so he went back to his cards. "I'll attack your Flame Swordsman and you lose 500 life points."

"It's not luck it's skill," Tea said as Joey put his favorite monster in the graveyard.

"Yeah, and anyway," Tristen looked at Joey with a grin on his face. "You don't have enough skill to fill a teaspoon, so-"

"If you value yourself, don't finish that sentence," Joey raised a fist at Tristen.

Tristan was about to retort back, when a large quake made the whole school shake. It went away after a few seconds. Many students stopped talking to look around. Kaiba looked up from his book, disturbed yet again at the climax. All was silent for a few seconds, until the quake came back again. This time it didn't stop. The students that the teacher failed to awaken are all now standing up fully alert. People started to run out of the room as the fire alarm went off. It was all chaos. Books were coming off of shelves; pieces of the ceiling were falling down.

"Let's get out of here!" Tea yelled over the quake.

"Look!" Yami yelled as he just took over for Yugi. He was pointing out the window as everyone looked. There was a giant green light heading quickly towards them. Yami noticed that destruction met anything that the green light touched. The buildings started to crumble and the sky was turning a dark green color. They all ran outside to get a better look, with Kaiba right behind them.

"Of course this happens on a nice day like today," he thought to himself.

There were people running away from the giant mass of green light. The quake finally stopped when they reached the street, but people were running all over the place, away from the spot they were standing. The green light was only a half a mile away and it was coming fast.

"Guys…I think we should run," Tristen said taking a step back.

"We won't be able to outrun it Tristen!" Joey yelled. He was quite right.

"What will happen when it hits us?" Tea asked fearfully. She looked at each of them in turn, including Kaiba who was just staring at the giant mass of green light like it was a football game.

"We're about to find out," Yami said slightly unnerved.

The green light passed by them with the force of a stampeding bull. They were all forced backwards and they all landed some ten feet away from where they were standing.

"Aaah!" They all yelled but no one yelled as loud as Yami who yelled more in surprise than anything. They all looked at him and received a good shock.

Both Yami and Yugi were visible and both were looking at each other as though they couldn't believe their eyes. To add to their confusion, they both had a millennium puzzle around their necks.

"What in the…" Joey said as they all got up. The fact that both Yugi and Yami were separated was more disturbing than the fact that they just got blown back by a giant green light.

Yugi and Yami tried to speak at the same time.

"What-"

"How did you-"

"I didn't-"

"Then why-"

"And we both-"

"I know!"

They both fell silent suddenly. Tea had to break the silence.

"What happened?" She looked from one to the other.

"We're not sure Tea," Yami looked at her. "But it must have been that green light because that's when we separated."

"Well, that's odd," Kaiba said which alerted everyone to his presence. They all looked at him, but he wasn't looking at Yugi or Yami. He was looking at their surroundings. They all looked too.

What used to be the great city of Domino now looked to be one thousand years older than it really was. All of the buildings were rusty, and covered in grime. Some were falling apart and some already fell to the ground in the short time they stood there. It looked like the slightest wind could knock over the taller ones.

However, the most disturbing thing wasn't because that the buildings were collapsing or that the sky had turned to a dark green making everything seem darker than usual. The most disturbing thing was the people. There weren't as many as there was before the light passed them, but they were there…

As zombies.

They all stepped back in horror and Tea had to use all her willpower not to scream. The zombies were coming out of houses, buildings, and alleyways. One or two even came out of cars. They all looked dead and decaying. Some walked with a slight limp and others walked fine. All the zombies looked at them, and they all stared for a second. Then the zombies all charged at once.

"Can we run now?" Tristan yelled but he didn't wait for an answer. He automatically ran in the opposite direction. Everyone followed.

"What do they want with us?" Yugi looked back at the zombies chasing them.

"Meat?" Joey said but regretted it at once when a image of a zombie eating him came into his head. "Ugh.."

"Where did they come from?" Tea said as they ran past out of the school grounds which now resembled a dump.

"They might be…everyone…" Yami said looking back as well. The zombies were starting to pull back. But they kept on running.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that…. that green light might have turned everyone who lives in Domino into zombies, except us for some reason." Yami looked down.

"Wait a minute…" Kaiba stopped in his tracks. Everyone stopped to look at him. "Mokuba…" And with that he sprinted as hard as he could toward his mansion.

"Kaiba wait!" Yugi yelled and he ran after him. Yami followed.

"What the…" Tristen looked after them. "What was that about?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Tea looked at Joey and Tristen. When they still looked blankly back, she sighed and said, "Mokuba! What if he's a zombie?"

"Oh…" they both said with dawning comprehension. Joey and Tristan were interrupted from their thoughts when the zombies began to advance on them.

"Eeeek!" Tea squealed. "Quick! Which way did Kaiba go?"

"Uh…." Joey looked around. He had completely forgotten which way they took and he had no idea how to get to Kaiba's mansion. "Let's go this way!" He ran off in a random direction.

"Joey!" Tea yelled after him but Tristen pulled her in a different direction. "Tristen! What are you doing? Joey went that way!"

"I know but we have to lose these things." Tristen led Tea back towards Domino Park.

"No!! This can't be happening!" Kaiba looked at his mansion in disgust. The once beautiful multimillion-dollar mansion was a complete wreak. Grime was on every available surface, spider webs occupied the windows and he was sure he saw something moving inside the house that didn't look too alive.

"Don't worry Kaiba," Yugi spoke as he and Yami caught up to Kaiba. "It…could be worse…"

"Worse?" Kaiba rounded on him. "How could it be worse?"

"Like that…"Yami pointed to the house. Kaiba and Yugi looked to where he was pointing. There, in front of the house was Mokuba…as a zombie.

"No…Mokuba," Kaiba stepped foreword. Mokuba did nothing but stare at Kaiba vacantly.

"Don't go near him Kaiba," Yami said. "What if he attacks you?"

"You know he has a point."

They all looked around. That voice sounded awfully familiar…

All of a sudden, Bakura jumps out of a bush and stands next to Mokuba, who does nothing.

"Hello Pharaoh," he said with a grin. "Do you like what I've done with the place?"

Well that's it for chapter 1!! I hope you all enjoyed it. I hope you didn't mind that I didn't explain what the zombies look like more. I didn't really want to change the rating but if it doesn't bother anyone, I'll explain them better later on.

Until next time!
