Secondly, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and I never will, I'm sorry everyone. Thirdly, I'm speculating on events so don't kill me.

Yu-Gi-Oh: Torn Apart
Chapter Three:
School seemed to drag on; the first class didn't want to end. I stared at my Math work that had been sitting in front of me, everyone had probably finished it but Math was one of the last things on my mind. I leaned down on my desk putting my head between my arms and sighed. I felt someone pat the back of my head and I looked up to see Duke Devlin; he sits in front of me in Math class. I gave a look as to ask 'What is it?' It came out loud and clear to Duke.
"Well you just seem ill hearted and tired," he said. Right on the dot Duke; guess I should give him a prize. I rolled my eyes, "Why should you care…" I muttered under my breath. Usually I'm not so sarcastic but for some reason I just don't feel cheery today.
"Well usually your so high spirited…did something happen?" he was concerned just like the rest of my friends but I didn't want to talk about it anymore or I'd burst out in tears again. I just went back to burying my head in between my crossed arms and Duke got the hint I didn't want to talk about it and turned back to his math. Why won't the bell just ring already…? I hate this class already. The bell finally went off and I lifted my head as other people got up collecting their math stuff.
"Don't forget today's assignment is due tomorrow and the Test is on Friday," the teacher called to students as the left. I stood up and started to pick up my stuff.
"Oh Yugi Motou can I speak to you for a moment?" the teacher asked. I nodded leaving my stuff at the desk and going over to her, "Well, it's about your homework Yugi, Usually you do it nice and neat but now…well…" She placed my homework on her desk to show me, "It looks like a Chicken wrote it."
"I'm sorry…I've just been preoccupied lately," I mutter lowering my head. She looked at me with concern in her eyes.
"Something you want to share with me…?" She asked and I shock my head giving her an "I rather not" look. I turned away to grab my books and walked out of the class room as the other students passed me and went into the class. I stopped at my locked and opened it and shoved my math book inside grabbing my History text. I wish it was the end of school I can't take anymore people asking me: "What's wrong Yugi." I quickly headed to my History and got knocked over by a large boy, in fact a lot taller than me and he didn't look too friendly.
"Ow…I'm sorry," I said sitting on the floor as the other boy looked down at me and laughed.
"Well, Look what the elementary school let in," he grabbed my by the collar and lifted me up. I didn't resist at all there was no point in it.
"Denis put that boy down right now!" the principal called walking over to Denis.
"Uh I was just helping him up," He put me down and I hurried to regain my balance and then I leaned down to pick up my books.
"Then head to class Denis, you too Yugi!" he called as he walked away. I hurried past the one who had picked me up.
"Hey where's the Midget…?" Denis looked around for me confused. I love being sort it's so easy to get away from people in big crowds. I opened to door to my History class being thankful that I made it here alive. I took my seat next to Joey who didn't appear to have been there yet so a placed my forehead on the cold desk. The Bell rung and Joey still wasn't in class yet. Then we all heard it, the door slammed against the wall as Joey opened it.
"I'M NOT LATE!" Joey called and my head snapped up as if he was my alarm clock. The teacher glared at Joey.
"Thank you for interrupting my class for the 10th time Mr. Wheeler, Please take your seat," the Teacher rolled his eyes and Joey quickly ran over to his seat and sat down.
"Has he really been countin?" he glanced over at me and I shrugged not really in the mood, but maybe Joey could cheer me up a little bit. He sighed knowing that I was really upset and didn't talk to me for the rest of class. I wish he had though I'd probably say nothing to him at all.
It was the end of the day…Finally. I reached into my locker to grab my back pack and lowered my head as a swung my pack back over my shoulder.
"Hey Yugi…how are you doing?" it was Tea's voice. I know she's just worried about me but I wish she hadn't said that.
"Look Tea…I just want to go home…" I left her and headed out side into the bright sun shine. I hate this kind of weather when I'm in a horrible mood. I lowered my head and went home by myself, usually I'd go with Joey, Tristan or Tea but I really didn't feel like having them come to the game shop with me.
Shadows suddenly Appeared in front of me and I stopped and looked up at what I was right about to hit.
"There's that loser who's suppose to be King of Games," I recognized the first one; it was Denis but the other two I didn't know.
"What…" I asked somewhat annoyed that they stopped me.
"We want to Duel you for those Egyptian God Cards," the one to the left of Denis said. I stared at him.
"First of all I never put them up for grabs, and I don't feel like it," I grumbled then tried to push through them but Denis grabbed my shoulder and turned me around to face them.
"Your gunna give us them card of yours," the one on the right said cracking is knuckles. I stared at them; they weren't going to hurt me…were they…?
"Look I told you before! Now let me go!" I called pulling away from Denis.
"Look Kevin the Midget thinks that he can get away without giving us the god cards," Denis looked to the left of him.
"We are not going to leave you alone until you bring us those cards right Alex?" He looked at the guy to the right.
"Dat's right and we're gunna give yah a test sample of what yah get if yah don't bring em here tomorrow," Alex smirked at me and I began to struggle the grip more but it tightened. With one Punch to my stomach I went down and started to gasp for air, my eyes where shut so tight tears could barely get through.
"Heh, it'll be worst tomorrow kid," Denis left with his goon; as I struggled to breathe. I slowly got up and opened my eyes again and stumbled towards the game shop and I unlocked the door and fell onto the couch and cried…That reminded me of…Grandpa even more…
Flashback-
It was before I had met Tea, I was around sick years old and in Kindergarten and other kids would throw rocks and stuff at me cause I still only looked like I was one. One time a bunch of grade 4 boys came up and beat me so badly I barely made it home from school. I fell onto the couch and began to cry forgetting that Grandma and Grandpa were around.
"Yugi…What happened oh you look terrible I'll get some Ice," Grandma said going over to the fridge. Grandpa would clean me up and try to make me laugh which usually he succeeded at.
"So Yugi what happened?" Grandpa asked me when I had finally stopped crying. I lowered my head afraid to tell them and get in bigger trouble.
"Yugi Dear, don't be afraid to tell us what happened…" Still I didn't reply and grandma places the ice on my right knee and I shivered a tiny bit.
"Perhaps…we should call them…" Grandma looked over at Grandpa, "He could really use a friend about now…"
"Alright…" Grandpa nodded and went over to the phone. Grandma turned on the TV and let me watch my cartoons. I smiled at some of the jokes and DeeDee from Dexter's Lab. That's one of my favorite cartoons.
The door to the game shop opened and I tilted my head thinking it was customers until Grandpa welcomed them into the Living room. I didn't want to bother them so I turned down the TV when a young girl who actually looked six years old sat next to me. I looked into her blue eyes as looked at me and smiled.
"Hi my names Tea!" she said in a high pitch cheery voice, "Your Yugi right?" I just nodded slowly, "Wanna be friends?"
"Huh? What's a friend…?" I asked feeling stupid.
"It's were two peoples trust each other," Tea smiled holding out her hand to me; "You can trusts me."
"Okay!" I put my hand on hers and she smiled back at me.
