Heh, nothing changed in this chapter except I gave Ushio a last name which means cruel. I do not own Yugioh, enjoy!

Chapter 1

It had been one week since the accident and Yugi was meant to spend time with his friends in the park. They had planned it for him, something about turning a frown upside down and getting out of depressionville. Or at least that's what the excuses they fed him at the time were. Now however, they had all cancelled on him.

He had arrived at the park five minutes early only for his phone to light up in that span of time to read the texts from every one of his friends saying they could no longer make it. Yugi stared at his phone in disbelief after the last of the texts came through. Now even Ryou and Malik couldn't make it, something about needing to cram last minute for a test.

Now Yugi would have been fine excepting this excuse under different circumstances, but Ryou, Malik, and Yugi all shared the same classes. There wasn't a test tomorrow in any of their classes, so those two had straight up lied to Yugi without even thinking.

Yugi shoved his phone back into his jeans pocket and started to walk back out of the park. He had almost exited the park when he ran into a wide chest, effectively knocking him to the ground.

"Well, look what we have here boys, it's the Shrimp." A voice said from above Yugi.

Yugi stopped rubbing his head as his hand froze, his eyes opening wide. He knew that voice, he knew that voice very well, Ushio Zankokuna. Yugi slowly looked up to see Ushio grinning in a predatory way down at him. Smiling nervously back, Yugi crawled through Ushio's legs, got up and ran away.

"Hey, get back here!" Yugi heard Ushio cry out from behind him.

Yugi heard the Ushio and his two sidekicks chasing after him. He knew that if he could just make it to that alleyway, he could lose them. He always lost them there because it was like a labyrinth, if you didn't know the way out, you were sure to get lost.

Yugi dodged around people as he made a mad dash for the safety of the alley. Behind him he heard complaints of the people that Ushio and his buddies ran into, without a care of any potential damage they could be causing to them. Yugi ducked into the alleyway, and ran down it taking sharp turns until he was deep within its maze. Only when Yugi passed the dumpster with the words 'KGS two blocks to the right, graffiti on it did he slow down, he was almost home.

He also felt that it was safe enough to rant to the high heavens. That turned out to be a mistake, and one he was definitely going to regret. A little ways away from his home there was a warehouse that had a few lights on, and a very private meeting with a dangerous gang was happening inside.
