Hey everyone I'M BACK! Thought you were rid of me for good? HA! No such luck! Why haven't I updated in months? A few reasons actually. ONE I've moved like four times since my last chapter was posted. TWO My computer went to visit that great server in the sky. THREE I fixed the other computer I have but it didn't want to accept the cable internet I was using. Well have no fear I'm back and I don't plan on forgetting to finish this fanfic. I WILL FINISH IT! I'm just hoping this computer stays in good health and writers block doesn't attack me like sharks on chum again. ANYWAYS, the story is kind of disturbing if I do say so, everyone seems to be using their last drop of sanity. Hope it doesn't sound to retarded I took my time on this chapter but I wanted to get it posted as fast as I could. And remember I don't claim to be a great speller or writer so try and deal. ENJOY.

Disclaimer: If you actually think I own any of this you must be mental. (Me the one who had to go with out a computer for months because she is poor.) XD No I don't own "Yu-Gi-Oh" or "War of the Worlds"

OoOoOoO

River of blood

OoOoOoO

It seemed to be quiet for a long time. Everyone was already on the edge and the silence made things worse. No one had even tried to sleep. Rebecca took to a corner all by her self staring straight a head with a dead blank expression. Her face look like that of someone who had been crying for three days non stop. Yugi had never left Yami's side although he was worried about Rebecca. Jounouchi sat quietly only feet from Yugi every once in a while scanning his eyes over to look at Rebecca. Furanku and John stayed only a while before going to the first level to look through the mess that was made the day before. They spent a short amount of time up there before coming back down with the goal items they were searching for. John dropped the sack down in the middle of the dark room.

"There wasn't much left. Everything is ruined. There is no power so most of the food is trashed. All we could manage to get was some canned food and after this is gone that's it so don't waist anything." John said.

Furanku took a seat and began to pull out cans of food. He cut open a can and offered it to the kids. Jounouchi was the first to come forward and take the can of vegetables. Furanku took another can and opened it offering it to Yugi and Rebecca. Yugi looked down at Yami feeling guilty that he could get something to eat when Yami was still unconscious. Rebecca only stared forward as if she were already dead.

"Ya need to get something in your stomach kids." Furanku said still offering the can towards them.

Yugi glanced quickly at Rebecca who's blank stare almost frightened him. He shook it off then moved forward to take the can. He quickly took his place back next to his yami to eat the food. It felt so good to finally get something in his stomach but soon he realized Rebecca was still sitting almost lifeless in the corner of the room. John and Furanku suggested he leave her alone then they left to rummage the first floor again. Yugi was nearly done eating while Jounouchi was trying to get the final drops of juice from the can. Yugi looked up seeing Jounouchi keeping his eyes on Rebecca.

"Is she okay?" Jounouchi asked his shorter friend. Yugi sighed and crawled over to Rebecca.

"Hey…Rebecca……You really should eat something. We need to stay healthy until we can make it to Tokyo." Yugi said. Rebecca only stared forward. Yugi took a can of vegetables and held it in front of her.

"Look…see its good. You should eat some." Yugi said. Her blank eyes only shifted to stare at the can. Tears were in her eyes but she seemed to have no expression still and little energy as well.

"Listen Rebecca I'm right here and I'm not moving from your side until you eat something." Yugi said putting his arm around her. Yugi sat the can of food down and remained next to Rebecca for a long time.

Though everyone was exhausted they still remained awake. John rashen the food to keep from running out too fast. There was enough water to drink for now and John tried to supply enough of it in bottles that he found. Yugi took his bottle of water and tried to coax Rebecca into taking a drink however her emotionless state carried on. To try and keep her well Yugi put small amounts of water in her mouth in hopes that she would swallow it which worked alright but she was still unresponsive to everything. After getting her to swallow a few gulps of water Yugi put his arm back around her and rested against the wall. It became quiet once more. Time didn't seem to be passing at all. It seemed they were stuck in a time warp where everything was at a stand still.

Jounouchi was the first one to make any kind of movement after several hours. He stood on weak legs moving towards the window. He leaned against the brick letting his weak body stretch out some. He pulled him self from the wall under the tiny window to look at red thick spider web like material. Taking a closer look now he realized it was coming from the window it self. It was rubbery and wet almost as it were like veins. Jounouchi pulled it off the wall realizing there was some of it spreading everywhere now. He began to force the window open hoping to find the source of it. After pulling the window open to see outside he quickly wished he would have just ignored it. The once blue sky out side was now blood red and the land seemed to be soaked in blood. The trees were covered in vines of the blood coated cords. There was a lake of red liquid gathered in the ground. Not quite out of sight was about three tripods slowly walking in the distance. Jounouchi backed up nearly tripping over John. He stumbled and backed into the wall on the other side of the room as he pointed to the window.

"What's the matter with you boy!" Furanku snarled.

"The…the…blood……everywhere!" Jounouchi said sliding down to a sitting position. John stood up to look out the window while Furanku tried to calm Jounouchi. Yugi was alarmed by his friend's reaction and worried about what Jounouchi could have possibly seen out the window. Soon the sour smell of coagulated blood filled the basement.

"What's going on? What's that smell?" Yugi asked as Jounouchi started to gag.

"It human blood! Isn't it! They are using us as fertilizer! Grinding us up and soaking the ground in our own blood!" Jounouchi shouted. Yugi got up obviously alarmed at the happenings.

"Just calm down don't worry about what's out side right now." John said

"NO! FUCK THAT!" Jounouchi stood up. "Its BLOOD out there! They are using BLOOD to water the ground! Look ever the SKY is RED!" Jounouchi was sobbing and shaking as he shouted but before he could get another word out Furanku pulled back and punched him as hard as he could. Jounouchi dropped back down to the floor.

"Get ur self a grip kid, shouting isn't gonna fix ar situation. Yell like that one more time and I will brake ur neck." Furanku said trying to stay calm him self.

"Now what are…Rebecca?" Yugi said realizing she at some point during the frenzy had got up and left. Yugi looked around not seeing her anywhere.

"Where is Rebecca?" Yugi shouted getting John and Furanku's attention.

"Damnit We gotta find her, she is crazier then my nephew here." Furanku said. John ran up stairs pushing everything out of his way seeing the door to the house was open.

"Kuso, where did she go?" John said. Soon Furanku and Yugi were with him. They searched for her in the blood soaked scenery shouting her name. Yugi cautiously moved around crossing over to the other side of the stream of blood that was flowing calmly through the ground.

"Rebecca!" She didn't seem to be in sight anywhere so Yugi turned to look some where else only to find a Tripod towering over him.

The sight nearly caused him to faint but keeping him self conscious he backed away slowly just before stepping in the large stream of blood. He gasped and jumped forward from the stream trying to find another way to run instead of the human liquid behind him. The tripod was well aware of Yugi and decided to add him to the cage of people that hug from the top of the pod. The long tentacle shot at Yugi to snatch him up but on reflex Yugi jump falling backwards into the pool of blood. He scrambled to his feel trying to put more space between him and the pod. He waded through the blood pool trying not to vomit from being in a pool of blood. He stumbled into the knee high lake as the tripod took a step shaking the ground below. Yugi sat up coughing and choking on the red liquid. Yugi looked up to see the tripod above him again but this time there was someone standing wide eyed and frightened behind it.

"REBECCA!" Yugi shouted stumbling to his feet and running under the pod towards Rebecca. Yugi grabbed her arms trying to run with her to safety but she wouldn't move. The look on her face was pure shock and horror seeing Yugi covered head to toe soaked in blood.

"Rebecca COMMON!" Yugi screamed just as he did the pod had snatched him up dragging him high into the air where it sucked him into the pod. After several minutes they watched as Yugi dropped from inside the pod to the cage of people who were screaming in terror. Rebecca dropped to her knees.

"DARDE!" She screamed as he was ripped from her arms. She didn't have to wait long before the pod reached back down snatching her up as well.

John and Furanku could only watch helplessly as the two were taken into the pod's cage. The cage of screaming people hung to the side of the pod as it began to walk again. Yugi sat up in the cage . There was people on top of people and he struggled to keep from standing on anyone. Lots of them were screaming and crying other seem to be mad. There didn't seem to be a way out but Yugi pushed his way to a less dense area to look though the bars that held them in.

"Yugi!" He could hear John and Furanku yelling.

"UP HERE!" Yugi shouted putting his arms through the bars waving at them.

"Stay calm we'll get you out!" John yelled. Yugi pulled his arms back in and glanced around just as Rebecca dropped into the cage.

"Rebecca!" Yugi rushed through the people to get to her.

"Darde!" She screamed latching on to him like a leach.

"Don't worry they will find a way to get us out of here." Yugi said.

John ran to the basement searching madly for what ever he could get a hold of to help Yugi and Rebecca. Furanku tried to help but there didn't seem to be much that would work against the sky scraper like tripod. John pulled open a wooden crate that he remembered he had. He took out a box wrapped up labeled 'Gun Powder' and opened it up.

"Gun Powder? Why da hell you got a trunk full of gun powder for?" Furanku asked

"I used to collect guns well I still kind of do, anyway we might be able to use this." John said pulling out things from the box.

After a few minutes the two men had managed to rig up a few sloppy bombs. They were quickly outside again where the pod that was still holding Yugi stood. John took out one of the home made bombs and lit the fuse. He waited about five seconds before launching it into the air. The tripod seemed to be too tall and it exploded just short of the main part of the pod. The explosion made everyone scream louder. Yugi hugged Rebecca as tight as he could keeping her safely close to in in the mess of panicking people around them. John lit another fuse and waited this time launching the bomb up as high as his muscles would let him throw it. The bomb went off missing by only a few feet and the tripod was completely unaffected by the blast.

"This isn't going to work, that thing is to protected to do any damage like this." John said

"Then lets try it a different way." A horse voice said from behind them. The two men turned to see Yami who was being helped by Jounouchi.

"What the hell are you doing? You should be resting!" John said.

"Let me see that." Yami said completely ignoring them and taking a bomb from John. Yami made his way closer to the pod which was now getting ready strike at it's attackers.

"What are you doing?" John yelled

"Are ya crazy get over here!" Furanku shouted.

"This is the only thing to do.." Yami said as the Pot reached down to grab him. Yami lit the fuse just as it scooped him up and sucked in into the pod.

"Mou hitori no boku!" Yugi screamed seeing Yami getting pulled into the pod.

Yugi stood up and tumbled towards the center of the cage where Yami would most likely be dropping from. He could hear Rebecca screaming as he left her amidst the screaming people. Soon the pod dropped Yami down into the cage. Instantly Yugi clobbered him with a hug.

"Your okay mou hitori no boku!" Yugi said with his arms around Yami. Yami hugged his Aibou relieved he was alright then he took action. He quickly moved them as far from the pod as the cage would take them making sure Rebecca was with them.

"Everyone get down!" Yami shouted as the bomb went off from inside the pod.

John, Furanku and Jounouchi watched as the explosion ripped through the pod shattering the outer shell completely. The pod began to crumble and the cage was sent crashing to the ground with all the screaming people in it. Yami held tightly onto Yugi and Rebecca as they hit the ground and the cage smashed falling apart it self. After the shock cleared everyone began to leave the broken cage that once imprisoned them. Yami helped Yugi and Rebecca up as they were some of the last to exit the cage with the destroyed pod in clear view behind them. Everyone around them began to cheer as if they had just won the war. Rebecca was the next to clobber Yami with a hug.

"Mou hitori no Yugi I'm so glad your okay!" She sobbed into his chest. Wincing from the pain he was still in, he tried his best to hug her back to give some comfort to the sobbing girl.

John and Furanku took it upon them selves to bring water to everyone that was free from the cage now. Jounouchi held out a towel to Yugi who was still covered head to foot in blood. Yugi was quiet and at first he didn't even seem to notice Jounouchi standing in front of him.

"Yugi.." Jounouchi said quietly. Yami watched his aibou in what look like shock almost. Yami took the towel and began to wipe Yugi's face off gently. Yugi blinked realizing what Yami was doing. Yami saw Yugi's eyes slowly move up to look at him as he continued to clean the blood from him face as best as he could.

"Are you alright Aibou?" Yami voice was soothing and more then comforting to hear.

Yugi nodded slowly and took the towel from Yami to clean as much blood off of him as he could. He seem to be shaking as he wiped the redness away. Of course it was never going to come off completely since he was drenched in it but he tried harder and harder nearly rubbing his skin off.

"Aibou.." Yami said as Yugi who was nearly in a panic as he scrubbed his skin.

"Darde…" Rebecca said watching Yugi. She suddenly grabbed Yugi tossing the towel away from him.

"Stop it! Everything is okay now! Mou hitori no Yugi is here! Now we can go to Tokyo and find our Jichans!" Rebecca shouted at him. Yugi took a few deep shaky breath as Rebecca clung to him. Tears were running down his face slowly. Rebecca looked up at Yugi with concern.

"Darde……you want me to find you a shower?" She said sniffling. Yugi smiled as much as he could shaking his head. Yami stood up and turned to John.

"We have to leave for Tokyo." Yami told him.

They spent the next few hours resting. No one had much sleep in the past few days and Yami wasn't in the greatest condition either. Rebecca finally let her self eat something which was a relief. John pack what he could while trying to keep it light enough for the journey to Tokyo. After they were rested up as much as they could and things looked quiet out side they headed out. Rebecca hid her face in Yami's shoulder as the six of them walked by the river of blood. The sky was still blood red and it seem to stretch on far out into the distance. Rebecca stayed close to Yami and Yugi as they left John's house. Yami ignored the constant pains in his ribs and head as he walked. He even hid the fact that breathing seemed to be painful. All He was concerned about now was getting Yugi and Rebecca to Tokyo like he had promised. Rebecca glanced up at Yami then looked north towards their destination.

"Mou hitori no Yugi…?" She said meekly

"Yes Rebecca?" Yami said looking down at her.

"Are we going to make it to Tokyo?" She asked softly.

"Of course."
