I'm back! Sorry it took so long but I have a 2nd job now so I work about 55 or more hours a week. It's kind of hard to get any time to my self. I wanted to let you know a few things before you continue on…

Spelling and grammar-I suck at it but I now have a beta reader and its really not going to get any better so try and deal common! Gomen gomen!

The plot-Yeah its not getting any better either and I'm not changing it so sorry please.

The title-I was told that it should be renamed because its ripping off the movie well I guess I can under stand that but I like my title. I can't think of anything better to name it so suggestions wouldn't hurt!

No like no read!

Disclaimer: I own a shoe lace and a dirty tissue but I really don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the movie War of the Worlds.

OoOoOoO

Invade the home

OoOoOoO

Rebecca blinked her eyes open slowly looking around the dimly lit room. Yugi was beside her still sleeping softly. Jounochi was not far also sleeping. She looked on the other side of her seeing Yami still the same as before. She watched him for a short while as his chest lifted and fell as his sharp breaths rushed in his lungs a bit delayed. The bandage above his eye seemed to be full now as the gash didn't seem to stop bleeding. She pulled her legs to her chest and hugged them. Yami twitched a little in his rest and took a deep breath making his flinch in pain. Rebecca with a gasp watched Yami in his painful slumber, wishing she could some how ease his pain. She went back to hugging her legs. She looked back at Yugi who was still asleep. He looked peaceful amidst all the chaotic mess that was happening and with Yami bring injured. She didn't know how he could sleep at this time. Just as she was deep in thought Yugi blinked open his eyes seeing Rebecca awake in front of him. She moved her aqua blue eyes up to look at the awakened Yugi. She faintly smiled seeing her true love now awake.

"Darde?" She whispered

"Can't you sleep Rebecca?" Yugi asked rubbing his eyes. She slowly shook her head.

"You should really get some rest you know?" Yugi said softly.

"So should you." Rebecca said looking away.

She moved her sad eyes to look at Yami. Yugi did the same. They were quiet for a long time looking at the injured yami lying motionless under the thin sheet. Rebecca watched him breathing just as slowly as he did earlier. She could hear his words in her head still. The soothing words telling her he would find her Jichan no matter what, the promise he made to her.

"Ne Darde?" Rebecca whispered.

"Un?" Yugi said looking at her. Her eyes never left Yami. She focused on him for a short while before asking her question.

"Do you think mou hitori no Yugi will ever wake up?" She said as her voice faltered in sadness. Yugi didn't answer. He wanted to say yes. He wanted to tell her he would be just fine. In reality he wasn't sure if anyone would make it. The world as they knew it was slowly changing. Death was everywhere and the tripods were gaining their victory as they sat idle in John's house.

"Darde?" Rebecca turned to him with her aqua eyes hoping for reassurance.

"Uh………ah, he will be just fine." Yugi said with a shaky smile. Tears slid down his cheeks. Rebecca scooted closer to him and rested against his shoulders.

"I don't want him to leave us Darde." Rebecca said just before she drifted off to sleep. Yugi sighed as the girl slept against his shoulder.

"Neither do I." Yugi mumbled watching Yami sleep.

Everyone woke to the sound of far off explosions followed by rumbling. John was already at the window looking out into the darkness. He offered no explanation to anyone except that they all needed to go to the basement. No one questioned him. Furanku and Jounochi ever so gently picked up Yami and took him down the stairs. Yugi and Rebecca followed quickly as the rumbling got worse. He led them down the strangely deep basement then shut out all the lights. Rebecca clung to Yugi as a lifeline shaking again at the horrible noise above them. Everyone was as quiet as possible as the attack raged above ground. Everyone was in their own thoughts wondering what was going on above them. It didn't seem to be hitting John's house but it wasn't far either. Soon everything settled down and it became quiet. John lit a candle and looked around.

"What…what was that?" Jounochi whispered.

"Don't worry about it." John said.

"Don't worry? How can you say that? There are still people out there!" Jounochi said angrily.

"If its not happening HERE then I think you should not worry about it." John repeated.

Jounochi clenched his fist. Though John did have a point he couldn't help but fear for everyone who might be caught in the middle of what ever was out there. Everyone became silent again in the candle lit room. Furanku and John stepped out of the room again and Jounochi rested against the wall. Yugi was half asleep him self. Rebecca however found no peace. She sat hugging her legs wishing for rest but none came. In her restless mood she realized there were life signs from the boy in front of her.

Yami opened his eyes finally seeing nothing at first. The room was dark and his eyes were terribly blurred. He blinked them a few times to focus them better. He soon saw a blurred figure about him. He blinked again as the figure started to focus in front of him. It was a girl looking rather worried about something. He blinked again as the girl focused more. It was Rebecca. Yami shifted his eyes to look around his very unfamiliar surroundings. It was to dark for him to make out anything else. He looked back at Rebecca and studied her expression. He soon tried to move his body resulting in his senses to rush back to him. Suddenly he could feel all the pain his body had been numb to earlier. The pain was so strong it took his breath away. He doubled over as he gasped for the sweet air that escaped him. Rebecca turned wide eye and shook Yugi scared that something was terribly wrong with Yami. Yugi awoke seeing his Yami in such pain jumped up to find John and Furanku.

"Rebecca calm him down onegai!" Yugi said as he ran off.

"Calm him? How do I..?" She said frightened by the suffering boy in front of her.

"Mou hitori no Yugi! Please hold still you will make it worse!" Rebecca said taking his hand.

Yami was still gasping for air. Rebecca's words had not yet reached him. His breaths only worsened his instant pain. He shut his eyes tight as tears slid out while the pain increased. John ran back into the room followed by Yugi. He quickly went to helping out the pain stricken boy. It took a while before anyone could calm Yami's pain but soon it dulled enough for the boy to rest his body. Yami was still fuzzy as to his surroundings but he opened his eyes trying to find Yugi. Yugi came into view soon enough. This helped settle Yami's mind. He rested as the people around him made conversation. He could feel Yugi's warm hand holding his.

"So what are we going to do now?" Jounouchi asked.

"What da hell can we do?" Furanku said.

"Aren't we going to Tokyo?" Jounouchi said.

"Right now I don't think it's possible." Furanku said

"What about Jichan? I want to see him!" Rebecca said

"I'm sorry but I don't even know if we can make it there." Furanku said

"But!"

"No but's Rebecca, its dangerous out there and I aint taken no chances wit dis injured boy and that crazy mob runnin' around." Furanku said crossing his arms. Rebecca's arms fell in defeat. She sat down next to Yugi as tears came to her eyes. Would she ever see her Jichan again?

"The best thing is ta wait fer now and see how everything goes." Furanku said

It was quiet the rest of the night. Everyone tried to get some rest. Even Rebecca acquired some sleep, though it was uneasy. When she woke it was mostly dark, but the room was still dimly lit by the candles. She sat up pulling her knees to her chest to hug them. She looked around seeing everyone asleep, everyone but Yugi. Her love was standing looking out the one window in the room. She picked her tired body off the ground and drug her heavy feet over to Yugi. She was quiet as she stood next to him. It was a while before he moved, pulling his eyes to the young girl next to him.

"The world seems so lifeless." He said looking down at her.

He could see how tired she was. Her hair was ratted and dirt was laced into her appearance. Her cloths were no longer as colorful as they once were. She was pale and shaky. Her blue eyes were slightly blood shot. Yugi vaguely wondered if he looked just as beat as she did. She looked at him as if asking for comfort. Comfort wasn't something easy they could find anymore. Yugi looked past her seeing some movement from the look-a-like behind her. He moved past the girl and kneeled down to see how his yami was. Rebecca followed him to check on the injured boy.

"How is he?" Rebecca asked meekly. Yugi was quiet.

Yami's face twitched with pain as he stirred in his rest. They watched him helplessly knowing they were powerless to ease his suffering. Rebecca leaned back against the wall and rested her chin on top of her crossed arms as she pulled her knees up to her chest. She kept a close eye on Yami watching the faint movements from his bruised body. Thoughts grew in her mind about the situation they were in. It didn't seem very hopeful that they would ever make it to Tokyo. The only hope she had left seemed to be floating away in unconsciousness right now. Yami had promised to return her to her grandfather but he was in no condition to help anyone right now. She was struggling to hold on to that diminishing hope Yami gave her, however as he drifted in his unconsciousness negative thoughts grew in her mind. It was a horrible uneasy feeling she had. Things didn't seem like they would improve any and actually they got worse in a split second. A loud crash was heard from above sending the girl into a panic. The others were instantly sent into a high alert status from the commotion above. Rebecca couldn't help but let out a shriek that was quickly muffled by John from behind her who smothered her noise with his hands. Everyone was silent as the noise from above continued. It seemed as if there was someone above them trashing about the upper part of the house. Rebecca's eyes were wide and tears streamed out soaking John's hand as he continued to keep her from crying out.

Jounouchi crouched close to the stairs. He glanced up looking towards the first floor. He moved closer to the stairs and took a step up to get closer. Furanku and John watched at he moved up the stairs slowly just before looking back. They both shook their heads. Furanku waved for him to stop and come back down but Jounouchi ignored and continued up the steps slowly and quietly as the noise from above continued. After he arrived at the top of the steps he looked through the half open door trying to see what was causing all the noise.

Three legged aliens, that's was what he saw. They were like chimps as they rummaged through the house like nosy little children. They over turned furniture and knocked pictures down as they looked through the strange living area. They explored everything and anything as if there was no respect for the living beings they were trying to exterminate. It was almost as if they were mocking the soon to be extinct human race by trashing the house. Jounouchi felt his anger raise as the aliens did as they pleased as the humans in the house hid in fear. All he wanted was to kill them, to make sure none of them walked out alive. What good would that do? There had to be hundreds or thousands of them. Kill these few would only give away their hiding spot. Jounouchi slowly moved back down the stairs on step at a time. His eyes did catch a look at an alien moving towards the door. He froze instantly as the three legs moved closer. He didn't move and held his breath in to keep the thing from noticing that he was only a few feet away behind the half open door. Just then the noisy creature overturned a hall table knocking it into the door slamming it shut. The sudden action caused Jounouchi to fall backwards down the steps. Furanku jumped up to catch him but was too late.

Furanku took hold of Jounouchi and dragged him to his feet.

"Ya tryin' to get us killed boy!" He half yelled. Then there was a smashing noise against the door and Furanku quickly dragged the boy under the stairs to hide. John pulled Rebecca out of sight and Yugi helplessly hide next to Yami huddling next to him on the ground.

The door knob slowly turned at the top of the stairs. Yugi hugged his Yami as they were the only two who could not get out of plain view. Yugi shut his eyes tight not wanting to see the door open. The knob turned more with a click that released the door and it slid open. Everyone was about ready to pass out from holding their breath, trying to keep still and out of sight. The loud crash down the stairs wasn't any help as the table tumbled to the bottom of the stairs. Yugi slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the empty door way and the table that had been knocked down the stairs and broken into a thousand splintery pieces. Soon Furanku stood up dropping Jounouchi where he stood and left to check the damage. John released a bewildered Rebecca leaving her still tearful and sniffling not far from the speechless Yugi. She stared at the broken table at the foot of the stairs still shaken up. It was amazing everyone was safe from such a close call. Yugi looked down at Yami. He had to keep Yami safe until he could manage on his own. Maybe then they could get moving again and make their way to Tokyo. Then maybe they would be able to find his and Rebecca's Jichan's. Even after they found them what would they do? Finding them wasn't going to keep them safe. Finding them wasn't going to end this madness, nor would it bring back anyone who had died already. Did Rebecca know this already? Yugi looked over at the frightened girl. Jounouchi soon found reality and started to gather the pieces of the table from the foot of the stairs, ignoring the fact that Rebecca was focusing on it to keep her sanity. Jounouchi stacked up the pieces off to the side to get it out of the way then he turned to Yugi.

"You okay?" His voice was shaking and horse. Yugi only nodded. Jounouchi looked down at Yami would didn't seem to be getting better and for as long as he would still unconscious hope seemed to be hard to find. Jounouchi turned to Rebecca who seemed to be at her wits end. She was distraught and confused. She didn't look very sane, like she would snap at any moment. And she did.

"Rebecca?" Jounouchi's scratchy voice tried to reach her. Her eyes were blank. No expression could be made out on her pale face.

"Rebec..?"

"We are going to die down here." She mumbled. That wasn't a statement they wanted to hear.

"Don't say that, we will find a way.."

"Shut up! Don't try and make it seem okay WHEN ITS NOT!" She shouted. The two boys were quiet. Neither could answer to a statement like that.

"Did you see them!" Rebecca asked jumping up and shaking Jounouchi.

"Wha.."

"You saw them right! Those things!" She shouted again shaking him then pounding on him hoping to get answers.

"I…"

"What did they look like, those things that are going to kill us?" She cried sinking to the ground.

"Rebecca.." Jounouchi sat down with the hysterical girl.

"Are we…just going to keep…hiding…and hiding………forever?" She sobbed.

"No, were not." Jounouchi said rubbing her back.

The loud stomping could be heard from miles away. Jounouchi jumped up and headed to the nearest window to look. The tripods were on the move again he peeked out the basement window to see them from a far moving further into the city. Jounouchi ran up the stairs to look outside from the front door where John and Furanku already were. Yugi soon followed to see what was going on with Rebecca clung to him like a wet napkin.

"They are headed someplace." John said

"Off to cause more trouble I suppose." Furanku said. The red hazy sky behind the pods looked like blood almost symbolizing the destruction they were about to cause yet again.

"We better get down stairs before they notice us." John said turning to the basement. Everyone followed him one after another. Rebecca was a little reluctant to go. Yugi turned to se what the hold up was since she stopped clinging to him.

"Hiding again?" She mumbled.

"Just until it's safe." Yugi said with a sigh.

"And when will that be?"
