"I don't think this is a good idea."

Ryou panicked in the corner of his large bathroom.

"Stop being a wuss. Even I did it."

Sakura told him in a huff.

"Yeah, but you actually look good!"

Ryou cried. Bakura rolled his eyes.

"Just stand up, get over here, and get it over with."

"Calm down, Bakura. Ryou can go last after Yugi."

Marik explained to the now black haired Bakura, who had shoulder length spiky hair.

"Wuss."

Bakura huffed.

Marik turned to Yugi.

"It's your turn!"

He grinned, holding up a bottle of blonde hair dye and scissors.

"When I agreed to this, I had no idea it would involve changing our looks."

Yugi told him with a very concerned face.

"Come on, Yugi, your hair is a dead give away of who you are. We are leaving to give you a fresh start."

"I know… But do I really need to change?"

"Yes, everyone else other than Ryou have."

"Let's just get this over with."

Tami entered to house connected to the gameshop. He looked around, all was quiet. Looking at the clock, he had been out for hours. 3:27 am. Even later than yesterday. He silently shuffled to the fridge. He opened it. Nothing. An empty basket sat on the counter next to the fridge. Right where he had left it that morning. Was Yugi sick?

The worried boy rushed up the stairs. Stopping in front of the door, he opened it. It was… Empty. Everything looked to be there, but things had been thrown about.

Yami picked through the mess. He picked up a picture that was covered in glass. He sobbed silently. It was the picture that had been taken after battle city with all of their friends. Where was Yugi?

A small scream was heard from the bathroom in a large mansion.

"Ryou, calm down. It's not that bad."

Yugi tried to soothe his friend.

Ryou latched onto Yugi's shirt tightly, getting into his face.

"Not that bad? NOT THAT BAD!? I LOOK HIDEOUS!"

He cried, curling up into himself.

"I can't believe I agreed to this."

"It could be worse. You could have green hair."

Bakura told him.

Ryou looked up at him, tears and snot streamed down his face.

"Why are you so mean to me!"

He sobbed before looking back down. Marik sat next to him, patting his hair.

"Don't worry, we like it even if you don't."

"That's easy for you to say. I think it's hideous."

"You're such a drama queen."

Bakura said in annoyance.

"Everyone else looks good except me."

"Like I said. Drama Queen."

"Shut up, Bakura!"

Marik snarled at him.

Marik looked around at everyone. He thought he'd done a good job.

Melvin now looked semi-presentable, with his now "slightly tamed" brown hair. Yugi had a similar look to how he had before, but his hair was slightly less spiky and now blonde. Marik had cut his hair just a tad shorter and dyed it a pale brown. Ryou had shoulder length hair, but had kept his original color due to the fight he put up. But now, he hated his short hair.

"Hey, Yugi. You never told us what you did before we came to Ryou's."

Marik told him.

Yugi looked down, remembering exactly what he had done.

Flashback

Yugi was surprised he had done it. His friends had helped him pack. They had taken his things to Ryou's. He had asked them to leave while he did something he needed to do. He watched them leave him, and he marched up the stairs. Angry tears flowed from his eyes.

He entered his room, ripped everything he could. Everything on his desk flew across the room onto the floor. He punched his mirror, duel monster items were ripped and broken. He left nothing untouched except the box that had held the millennium puzzle. He opened it to find his cards inside. He took the box out of his room, walked to Yami's room. The box in his hands gingerly. He opened the door, walked over to the the desk, and placed the box on top of it.

"I don't need these, or you, anymore."

Yugi turned on his feet, left the room, and slammed the door shut. He sighed feeling a weight being lifted from his chest. He was free
