The 13th Gate, Ch.1  

The rain gently fell onto the empty street, a white haired young man quietly walked along, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his deep black trench coat pockets, steam gently rose from the sewer vents, he suddenly stopped, and looked up towards the cold gray sky. An evil presence was in his deep brown eyes, the pools of chocolate slowly narrowed, "What is that…I've never felt such power…" he jerked his head forward and began to pace down the street, fading away into the growing fog.

"Yuuuuuuugi!" Jounuchi hit the lanky pale young man over the head with his math book, "Wake up! C'mon, we gotta go!" The young blond was just about to hit the sleeping boy again when he jumped up, "Geeze Jou-kun! That hurt!" he rubbed the back of his head, ruffling his already messy spiked hair, Anzu and Honda stood on the other side of the desks. Anzu trying to stifle a giggle and Honda staring in disbelief in Jou's immaturity, "Come one guys, we'd better get home quick before the rain picks up." He nodded towards the long classroom length window, outside was a small typhoon, the wind had picked up considerably and the rain pounded against the glass, "Personally, I'd like to not be blown away before I get home thanks." Jounuchi nodded in agreement, "Yeah, me too, plus, that damn Mr. Heykakashi gave me tons of homework!" Anzu leaned over the desk in her usual graceful way, "Well Jou-kun, had you not been talking so much, maybe he wouldn't have…" she gave him a quick wink. It was true, he had been talking, but he shrugged it off, he'd finish it before class tomorrow. They made their way to the front door, they where all planning on going over to the Game Shop, Grandpa Motou had gotten a whole new set of Duel Monsters cards, and Jounuchi wanted the first grab at them.

"Ready to go guys, we're gonna get wet, but if we hurry we won't get to wet!" Honda yelled over the pounding of the rain, and the now added boom of thunder, they all nodded in unison as another wave of thunder engulfed them, they all sprinted down the large stone steps and out of the drowning court yard, they splashed down the sidewalk, Hondas plan now forgotten. They where soaked, so they slowed there pace down to just a kind of fast paced walk, Jounuchi slowed down to catch up with Yugi, "So Yug, what was keeping you in dreamland earlier?" He gave him a sly wink, "Was it some pretty girl?" At that a bright red blush spread across Yugi's face, "No! If you really wanna know…well, it was really weird Jou, there was a giant big black ball thing," he made a large circle shape with his hands," and some really scary laughing, man, it was weird…" Jou just looked at him sideways, then a big smile broke out over his wet face, "Yug, I swear…" he chuckled lightly, "You need to lay off the scary movies!" he tapped on his small friends head," It's rotting your brain." He gave him a push from behind," C'mon, let's get outta the rain!" Yugi looked up at his best friend, he sighed, probably was nothing and if it was nothing, then it shouldn't be dwelled on.

A older version of Yugi sat quietly on a dirty brown chair inside of the Sennen Puzzle, twirling around a basketball on his finger (Which he got from his Aibou's Soul Room). He'd had the same dream as his Aibou (partner/friend), he knew it wasn't something so simple as just another dream, it was a warning, he'd have to keep his eyes open for danger now, what new threat was racing towards them now? More importantly, what did it want, his puzzle, or was it simply after blood, souls, or something else, perhaps revenge? Yami no Yugi slowly stood up, letting the basketball fall to the toy littered ground, this was his Aibous' Soul Room, he really shouldn't have been in it in the first place without permission, he walked out of the room, letting the door squeak close quietly behind him, "What in the world could it be…." He pulled the large metal door open to his room and gave a sigh. Whatever it was, they would face it like all others hey had, with each other.
