The school was shocked once again when they heard the death of Malik. Rumors were spreading that there was a curse on the school and the students were bound to die one at a time. Though, the rumors were completely wrong.

"How's Marik doing?" Tea asked Bakura.

"Why do you care?" Bakura snapped. "Shouldn't you be hanging off with your boyfriend Yami, Tea?" Bakura shouted. Tea flinched.

"I just wanted to know if he's alright.." Tea muttered.

"Well he's not! What do you think?" Bakura shouted. The school was watching them now. Tristan then rushed onto Tea's side.

"Hey! Don't shout at her like that!" Tristan shouted, grabbing Bakura's shirt, lifting him up a little.

"And why shouldn't i? I mean, she is the reason why Yugi had to commit suicide which also led to the death of Ryou!" Bakura shouted.

"I don't care. It's not all her fault that your pathetic boyfriend Ryou died. He did it on his own will." Tristan snapped.

"Why you-!" Bakura said, pushing Tristan on a wall. There were a couple of gasps.

"Let go of me you psycho!" Tristan shouted, but Bakura kept his grip on him.

"SHUT UP! You dared call Ryou pathetic? well, you don't even know the meaning of it. For all i know, you and your friends are what's pathetic." Bakura said letting go of Tristan.

Tristan then regained his composure and started to walk away with Tea back to their friends.

"He didn't have the right to say that." Tristan muttered on his breath.

"Yes, he did. Look, Tristan, he's right. We're the ones who caused all of this to happen. If we just paid attention to Yugi, this would have never have happened." Tea said.

"I know, but Yugi could've told us something! He just kept it to himself." Tristan muttered.

"He did, actually." Tea said glumly.

"Oh. We should have just listened.." Tristan muttered.


Ra, Osiris and Anubis were watching the human realm.

"Ra, is there anything we could do? The whole balance is tipping! The world will surely succumb to darkness!" Anubis said.

"I am sorry, Anubis, but there is nothing we could do. The lights have died leaving the balance to the darkness' hands." Ra said, sadly.

"There is something..." Osiris said. Ra and Anubis suddenly perked up.

"What is it?" Ra asked.

"Well.. we could turn back the hands of time.." Osiris said.

"TURN BACK TIME! WHAT!" Anubis shouted, sending ripples through the dimensions.

"Calm down, Anubis! You're shocking the fabric of reality!" Osiris said.

"How can i calm down? Is there even such a thing!" Anubis shouted.

"Being calm? Yes, there is such a thing." Ra said.

"You know what i mean. Can we really turn back time?" Anubis asked.

"Yes. But, we've never done it before.. though, the elders have. They did it more than once actually." Osiris said.

"Then let's do it!" Anubis shouted.

"We could do it now, but there's a problem." Osiris said.

"What's the problem?" Anubis asked.

"It's about Yugi." Osiris replied.

"What about Yugi?" Anubis asked.

"He's well..." Osiris hesitated.

"His soul is in hell. That's what." Ra added.

"WHAT! A light.. in HELL?" Anubis shouted.

"Yes. He's in hell.." Osiris said.

"Why? what did he do so badly that he didn't get to enter Heaven?" Anubis shouted.

"He.. well.. committed suicide.." Osiris replied.

"And committing suicide is a crime that's punishable by Hell." Ra added.

"Oh.. what now? Can't we just go and grab his soul and make an exception?" Anubis asked, not wanting to leave Yugi.

"We could do that. Then again.." Osiris said.

"His soul is being kept by Zorc. He'll never release Yugi's soul without anything in return." Ra interrupted.

"Oh.. that is a problem. How did Zorc get his soul anyway?" Anubis asked.

"I have no idea." Osiris said.

"We're doomed.." Anubis muttered as he continued watching the human realm.


Zorc watched the human realm, laughing evilly. Marik and Bakura were causing mayhem (they're drunk xp) while Yami was downright depressed.

"MWAHAHAHA!" Zorc laughed. Yugi then shook the bars of his cage.

"Zorc! let me go!" Yugi shouted.

"Never. Now that you're in hell, you're mine, squirt." Zorc said, lifting Yugi's chin up.

"I hate you! You tricked me! You were the ones who caused all the trouble in my life to happen, not my friends!" Yugi shouted, tears coming down his face.

"Yeah, well, you're right. Though you can't do anything about it now. You're dead and you're all mine. Not even your Yami can save you now!" Zorc said, laughing maniacally.

"My friends will save me. I know they will.." Yugi said, crying silently. Zorc groaned in annoyance.

'Why do humans need to be so annoying and emotional?' He thought to himself as he watched Yugi cry. Suddenly, he felt a weird feeling on his heart. It was sad, not cruel sad, but sad sad. He felt.. pain as he watched Yugi cry. He never felt this before, and it felt kind of.. weird.

'Am i showing compassion to him?' Zorc thought, clutching his chest 'Bah! who cares! I'm getting what i want soon enough! then i can rid myself of this annoyance!' Zorc thought, turning back to the human realm. Though, somehow, he couldn't concentrate anymore for the rest of the day.


Yami looked at the item in his hand. It was a whole bottle of painkillers. Yami was hoping that if he took enough, he would die and be able to meet with Yugi in the afterlife. Though, Yami hoped to go to the same place Yugi went, not the other one. Yami opened the bottle, and when he was just about to pop a couple in, he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"What the?" Yami said, covering his eyes from intense light. Once his eyes adjusted, Yami took the hand from his eyes. He was surprised to see that he was no longer in the house. Instead, he was standing in what seems and oasis. Yami saw that in the middle was a lake. He then went to the lake and found himself staring at both Bakura and Marik.

"Bakura? Marik? What are you guys doing here?" Yami asked.

"What are YOU doing here? What did you do to us!" Bakura shouted. Yami flinched at the level of anger Bakura was shouting. Before they could speak anymore, or shout in Bakura's case, Osiris, Ra and Anubis appeared in their human forms. Yami was surprised because Osiris looked like an old man, Ra looked like an adult, and Anubis looked like a teen. Yami, somehow, felt that they were the gods themselves and bowed to the ground.

"You guys! Bow down in front of gods!" Yami snapped. Bakura looked at Marik, who just shrugged. They then bowed. Osiris then spoke.

"Rise." Then they all rose up.

"Why are we here?" Bakura asked, oh-so bluntly.

"Ssh! Don't speak that way in front of a god!" Yami snapped.

"It doesn't matter right now." Osiris said

"Dear Osiris, why did you bring us here?" Yami asked.

"We brought you here because of the deaths of your hikaris." Osiris replied.

"Oh.." The three of them said. Anubis instantly felt sad.

"Yes.. we are.. mourning for them too. But, that's not the reason why we called you here." Osiris said.

"Then why?" Yami asked.

"We brought you here to talk about what the outcome of their deaths caused." Ra said

"The outcome? what do you mean, Ra?" Yami asked.

"I mean, when the three hikaris died, they took the light of the world with them. You see, just like everything, the world needs balance. When a hikari dies, the power of light is weakened and the power of a Yami is increased. When all three of them died, the balance of the world tipped over to the dark side." Ra explained.

"What's it to us?" Bakura snapped. Then, Ryou's voice appeared out of nowhere.

"Bakura, be nice." Ryou said.

"Ryou? Where are you!" Bakura shouted as he looked around the oasis.

"I'm here." Ryou said, appearing next to Ra. Bakura was so glad to see Ryou again that he ran towards him and hugged him. Or, passed through him. Bakura then fell flat on the ground. Yami and Marik tried to hide their giggles. Then, Malik's voice spoke next.

"I'm here too, you know." Malik said, appearing next to Osiris, crossing his arms. Marik then ran to Malik, but poked through him before he tried to hug him. Like Bakura, he couldn't touch him either.

"Ra, why can't we touch them?" Marik asked.

"That's because you're still alive." Ra replied.

"Aww!" Marik exclaimed, crossing his arms. Then, Yami noticed Yugi was missing.

"Anubis, where's Yugi?" Yami asked. Ryou, Malik, Ra, Osiris and Anubis' faces dropped.

"Ryou? what's wrong?" Bakura asked as Ryou suddenly became sad.

"Anubis, where is Yugi?" Yami asked, clenching his fists.

"He's erm..." Anubis hesitated. They knew that this moment was coming, they just didn't expect it to be so soon.

"WHERE IS HE?" Yami shouted. He didn't care anymore if he was shouting at a god. He just cared where Yugi is.

"He's at.. hell.." Anubis muttered. Bakura, Marik and Yami's eyes widened.

"He's.. at.. what?" Yami said. He then fell to his knees and started crying.

"Ryou? Is this true?" Bakura asked. Ryou nodded.

"I'm sorry Yami.." Ryou said. More tears fell down Yami's face.

"Why? why.. did.. Yugi go to hell..?" Yami asked. His voice was now hoarse and dry.

"He.. committed suicide.. a person can't go into Heaven if he committed suicide.." Malik said.

"NO!" Yami shouted, crying his heart as much as possible. "WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE THEN? WHY! To show that i failed as Yugi's Yami? Huh? To rub it in my face that i failed as his guardian? His friend? WHY!" Yami shouted.

There was a brief silence apart from Yami's crying. Then, Osiris spoke.

"No. We didn't bring you guys here to rub it in your faces. We brought you here so that you can redeem yourselves." Osiris said. Yami then lifted his gaze to Osiris.

"What do you mean?" Yami asked, wiping a tear from his face.

"We mean, we're going to turn back time to allow you Yamis to correct the mistakes. So that your hikaris will be able to live again." Osiris replied.

"Why? why are you doing this?" Yami asked, teary-eyed.

"Just like what Ra said, when the hikaris died, the world was left to darkness. We cannot absolutely let that happen." Osiris replied.

"Okay.. why didn't you do it before you called us?" Yami asked, standing up. Bakura, Marik, Ryou and Malik walked towards them.

"Because of Yugi." Ra replied.

"What about Yugi?" Yami asked.

"You know his soul is in hell right?" Ra said. Yami nodded sadly. "Well, to turn back time, we need to have each soul either here or at heaven."

"So why don't you just go and get Yugi? I mean, you are gods. You have power over hell. Right?" Bakura asked.

"Yes. Normally. But, there's a slight complication." Anubis replied.

"What complication?" Marik asked.

"Yugi's soul is in the hands of Zorc." Anubis replied. Marik, Bakura and Yami gasped.


Zorc stared at the boy in the cage. Yugi had cried himself to sleep just like what he did when he first came to hell. Zorc somehow felt sorry for the little kid.

'It's not even his fault.. it was that stupid Yami's fault for bringing him into all this..' Zorc thought, watching Yugi as he whimpered in his sleep. 'And the things Yami placed him through, i think it's even eviller than what they did to me.' Zorc thought as he started to reminisce.

Zorc was watching Yami and the others. He was searching for a way to weaken the powers of the Yamis when a scene appeared in front of the screen. The teen who Yami looked like, apparently was celebrating his birthday. 'Bah! 16 isn't that wonderful! but, 20,000 Years, like me is!' Zorc gloated as he watched the screen. As the party progressed on, Zorc was beginning to get more and more bored when suddenly..

Yami grabbed Yugi and pulled him into a deep kiss. 'What? Why are they kissing? Isn't the Pharaoh with the brown wench?' Zorc thought as he watched them.

"Mm.. Yami.. you're drunk.." Yugi said.

"Who.. hic! Cares..?" Yami said.

'Ah, so the pathetic Yami is drunk eh? I wonder what happens next..' Zorc thought. A second later, the scene changed where Yami took Yugi on his bed and...

"GROSS! I don't wanna see Yami making love! EWW!" Zorc shouted, shutting his eyes tight. After a couple minutes of listening to the, erm, loud mouthed lovers, Zorc turned the vision off. "Okay. That's disturbing.." Zorc muttered as he went to sleep. After waking up the next day, Zorc went and opened up the vision where he saw Yami and Yugi awake. They were apparently awake.

"Yami.. about last night.." Yugi muttered.

"Yeah.. sorry about that.. i didn't mean to.. it was a mistake." Yami said. Zorc saw Yugi flinch.

'Oh? so the boy has feelings for the Pharaoh? i could use this as an advantage..' Zorc thought as he watched Yugi. 'I now found my ticket for my revenge!' Zorc thought evilly.

Starting from then, Zorc noticed that a hole appeared in Yugi's heart and mind. Through that, he began to manipulate Yugi into depression. Zorc found out too, that he could use the hole to manipulate the other hikaris. Soon enough, the three of them died. Zorc however was annoyed that only one hikari didn't go to Heaven. But, as luck predicted, it was Yami's Hikari.

'I will have my revenge for us both, young one.' Zorc thought, dozing off..


And there you go! Chapter 2!

First, no, Zorc's not interested in Yugi in anyway. He does feel compassion to him though.

Ouch. Yugi's hurt alright.. how would you react if your loved one said THAT?

Anyway, Review? Please? Pretty Please? ^(^_^)^

Also, NO this is not a sad story. I just needed them to die in order for the story to work. Okay? It's going to be happy soon. Chapter 4, maybe?
