Thank you everyone! I already received five reviews. I know I have been keeping you in suspense, and I can't say it is going to stop now. Sorry!

Disclaimer: Yeah, I really wish I owned Yugioh by now, but I just don't.

Thoughts are still written like this.

Chapter 7

Normal POV

The fire started from a cigarette someone carelessly threw on the ground. With it being a restaurant and all, there were tons of items to give fuel to the fire. When it was first yelled out, the fire department went immediately to work.

"Get the hoses!" someone shouted. They needed to put the fire out quickly before it made the whole place collapse. The hoses also could not be used with full force, or the building, well what is left of the building, would be knocked over by the force of the water.

The victims were now being taken out of the building with almost no concern for their injuries. Everything was in a panic. Yells for help now filled the air with no stopping of them. Calls to other cities were being made to try to bring in extra help. Desperation would be the perfect word to describe the scene.

Some people were beyond the point of freaking out. As you probably guessed, it was the ones in the building. The fire was growing with every second. Some were praying to be saved, others were crying in frustration. All hoped to be rescued soon, before it was too late.

Yugi's POV

I felt trapped. Whenever someone had called out my name, my voice seemed too weak to answer them. How could an earthquake have hit Domino, the town that had started to think it had seen all of the tragedy it ever would.

Around a century ago, the natural disasters started occurring a lot in this city. Earthquakes, fires, tornadoes, and blizzards began to happen every year. It was unnatural. Some believed the world was ending. It continued for many years. Finally, one day it stopped. That day was about fifteen years ago. I hope this does not mean it is starting all over again.

Now I felt hopeless. A fire had started, the building was coming down completely, I had no idea where my friends were, and I think my leg was broken. I tried calling for help multiple times, but my voice was gone. I still have no idea why it does not seem to be working, perhaps it is because I am so scared.

My stomach began to feel sick. I had to get out of here. I try to imagine every way I could, but my mind refused to work with me.

Crash! What was that? I turned around to see a burning piece of plaster fall a few meters behind me. Great, just what I need to be hit by a burning piece of ceiling.

I have to get help for me and my friends, but how?

Mokuba's POV

I somehow dozed off to sleep. How can I sleep when my brother could…? I can't even say the word. I refuse to believe he is not going to be okay.

Many people received news on their family and friends. I would watch as a doctor pulled them aside and gave them the news. Some would let out a sigh of relief, a small smile lighting up their tear-stained face. Others would begin to sob harder, asking if there was anything that could be done. These people would often see the doctors shake their heads no.

I often wonder what will take place when one of the doctors pulls me to the side. None of the images I see show signs of more tears. I can't think that way, Seto wouldn't.

I bite down on my lip to hold back anymore tears. Everything is going to be alright, it always is.

Finally, I see a doctor come towards me. I don't know if I am ready for this. My eyes watch each step he takes. Is it just me, or is he walking especially slow. No, it is probably just my imagination. As he nears, I try to read his expression. I see nothing, no sadness no joy, just a blank stare. Over the years he has probably gotten good at hiding his emotions. That way, if the news is bad, he can be as gentle as possible in breaking the news to the relative or friend.

He is just about two meters away. This is it. I finally am going to get the news on my brother.

"You are the one with the patient Seto Kaiba, right?" he questions me. My throat goes dry, making it hard for me to answer.

"Yes, that would be correct. He is my brother," I answer him in a weak, hoarse answer. He says nothing for a few seconds. Come on, this is only making me more nervous.

"Seto Kaiba was pretty hurt. We think he was hit by a piece of concrete. He lost a lot of blood, but we were able to stop him from losing anymore. There is a small amount of internal injuries and a few broken bones. All of this we are handling." he tells me, pausing after the last statement. I knew this meant there was more, and it probably was not good.

Joey's POV

We were sitting there when we suddenly heard a shout. The person had yelled there was a fire. It was loud, meaning that the fire was probably pretty close to us. The David guy next to me soon started to panic.

"We have to get you out of here, but that could make things worse. The fire will spread very quickly, and waiting won't do us any good," he mumbled half to himself.

"Yeah, I guess you will just have to help me get out of this mess. Then I will have to find my friends and sister," I replied. It didn't look like he thought that that would work.

"If you actually are well enough to walk, you will have to leave here as quickly as possible. You can't stick around. The fire will take this place and everything in it down to the ground. Besides, chances are, they are already out of here by now," David told me.

"I can't take chances. I have to make sure everyone of them is safe before I worry too much about myself," I replied. Serenity may need me the most. I have to know that she is fine.

He shook his head, but did not say anything to my response. We both worked on getting my lower half out of the rubble. I was able to stand up when we were done. I guess that means my body did not receive any serious damage.

I thanked him and started calling out to my friends and Serenity. He said something about it being his job to help me out. I was actually kind of glad he stayed. It was nice to know if the place collapses there is a chance that he will be able to pull me out in time.

The whole place smelled of smoke. I could see the outline of a red glow. I have to find them quickly. The floors were cracked and everywhere you went, there was something blocking your way. I stumbled over part of a chair.

As I moved around, I could feel the whole place shifting. I don't have much time. If I don't hurry, I won't be around to know what happens to everyone.

I kept calling them. No one seemed to be answering. Then I heard something. It was so quiet; it was almost lost to the other sounds around me. I could make out the words help, collapsing, and broken, though. As quiet it as it may have been, I know who said it.

"Don't worry, Yug. I'm coming to help you!" I shouted. I hope he heard it okay because everything around me seems to give off more and more sound. I won't be surprised if I go deaf.

Duke's POV

We waited for help to arrive, but it never came. I could tell people had come in to look for those who needed help in getting out, but they never came to our calls. I think the girls are all right, because it sounded like someone had come for them. We would have informed them we were alright, but Ryou said they needed to go to a hospital and not worry about getting to us.

A few minutes ago, we heard that there was a fire. Now we are trying to get out, and we could care less if some rubbish falls down. All we have to do is find the others, tell them the girls are fine, and help them get out before the place falls down upon us. Doesn't life ever get any easier?

With every step, the building became more engulfed by the fire. Random things were crashing around us. A table, that had been on a pile of debris, caught fire and fell in front of us. We called out their names and waited for a response.

Mai's POV

After we were all looked over and treated, we went to the waiting room. For awhile, we just stood around. Then I became frustrated.

"Where are they? They should be here by now," I told Tea and Serenity. They both looked up in surprise. It had been awhile since anyone had said anything.

"I'm sure they are on their way," Tea responded. Is she always this optimistic?

"I hope everyone is okay. I feel like we should have seen them by now," Serenity said to us. I could hear the concern in her voice. She is probably growing impatient, too

"I heard the doctors saying some people were being treated at hospitals in other cities. Maybe they are there," Tea replied.

"You're probably right. Maybe we should get the numbers to these hospitals and see if they are there," I told them. That way, if they are there, we can stop worrying about them. If they aren't, then I am finding a way to get back to the restaurant.

"We can in a few minutes. They might still be going there. We don't want to find out they are not there, start worrying more, and find out later they were still on their way," Tea said to me. She always is the logical one.

Thank you again for the reviews! I need another five to continue. I think this is the longest chapter I have written yet. Yah! Also, my other writings could have more reviews. If you have not read them yet, I hope you will. Please watch out for the next chapter of this story.
