Black, darkness,pain, and alone is what Yugi Muto saw and felt when he woke up. He tried calling out for help but it was like his mouth was clamped shut. That freaked him out more than anything because he didn't know what was going on. Yugi all of the sudden felt a warm sensation like it was trying to calm him down and it worked. Yugi wondered in the darkness was he dead? This was not what he was expecting what death looked like. Yugi realized now that the reason he was only seeing darkness was because he had his eyes closed still. Yugi felt really stupid now, he tried to open them but for some reason they felt really heavy like it was as if someone glue them shut. He kept on trying now that he was coming back to his senses he heard something beeping loudly in his ears. Finally he managed to open his eyes but he quickly shut them as bright light blinded him. He tried again this time slowly and when eyes got used to the brightness however everything was a blurry blob mess.

Yugi was scared and confused. Why was his vision blurry and he couldn't figure out where he was? Only a beeping sound" Did grandpa forget to turn off the oven timer?" he heard a click clacking noise from a high heel and the sound was getting closer. Yugi looked over where the sound was coming from. He saw a white and red blob then he heard a gasp and some metal that hit the floor" Doctor he's awake!" he heard a female voice say." Doctor?" Yugi was confused."What happened to me?" he asked himself in his head. Before Yugi could comprehend what was going on, a blurry tall white figure came into his line of vision. Yugi tried to speak to them but like before his mouth wouldn't open." Yugi Muto, please calm down and don't try to say anything you're gonna hurt yourself." a male voice spoke. The white blurry figure that Yugi assumes is the doctor was shining a flashlight in his face." His eyes are dilated still even when the lights are shined on it." the doctor said to one of the nurses. The doctor turned off the flashlight and tucked it in his coat pocket." Give him morphine every 4 hours and call Mr. Muto so me and him can discuss something important." he said to a blonde nurse."Yes doctor." she answered as she left the room. The doctor checked Yugi's IV bag to make sure there was enough insulin before he left the room.


Half an hour later Mr. Muto arrived at the hospital to speak with the doctor. He walked up to the reception desk and asked the nurse where he could find the man. Twelve minutes later he found the office where the doctor sat behind drinking coffee. The doctor looked up when he heard the door opening to see it was Mr. Muto." Ah! Mr. Muto I'm glad you came, there was something important I needed to discuss with you about your grandson." the doctor said calmly. The elderly man sat in a chair across from the doctor" Is my grandson alright? He doesn't have AIDS does he?" said the worried grandfather. The doctor waved with his hands to calm down the elder man" Easy there Muto your grandson is fine and no he doesn't have AIDS thankfully, but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about." he said. tilted his head in confusion" Then what is it you want to talk to me about then?" he asked the doctor. The doctor said he didn't want to have this conversation but he had no choice" It's about where your grandson is going to go when he's out of our care." the doctor said slowly." What do you mean?" Mr. Muto asked as you could hear the panic in his voice. The doctor shook his head" Mr. Muto, a man came in today and somehow he figured out your grandson was in the hospital because he came to us saying he was the landlord to the place you live at. He said that you're struggling to pay the bills and that you're behind." the doctor explained.

Mr. Muto's eyes grew wide with panic" What are you trying to say that I can't take care of my grandson." he said almost angrily. The doctor shook his head. He knew this was gonna happen" No Muto that was not what I was saying it's that… the hospital bill and your behind your payments by the time you do all that your not gonna have any money left to take care of you and your grandson, I'm sorry Mr. Muto I wish there was something I could do for you to help,but my hands are tied." The doctor expressed sympathy. Mr. Muto didn't know what to do as he covered his face with his hands and cried. He lost his wife eleven years ago two months before Yugi came into his life and now even his own grandson is being taken away from him, he just couldn't think of a life without his grandson." Can you give me time to pay the hospital bill." he said desperately with tears rolling down his cheeks. The doctor sadly shook his head again" I can only give you 30 days to pay, I'm sorry sir but that's all I can do in my department. If I had enough money I would help you pay it but I don't." he said. The elderly man realized he had no choice. Yugi was gonna wind up in foster care and there was nothing he could do about it." I don't have anyone who can take care of him, I don't know where his father or mother is." he said more to himself than the doctor. The doctor sighed sadly" I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to release Yugi from your custody until we know that you can take care of him again." he said as he got up from his seat. Mr. Muto signed a piece of paper saying he was temporarily giving up his grandson until he could be able to take care of him once more.


Yugi woke up from his nap and looked around the room. It was a whole lot clearer than it was before, he could finally see objects but they were still slightly blurry. The small teen shifted in his bed and slowly closed his eyes again. It wasn't long before the door to his room opened up and Yugi opened his eyes to see who it was. He saw a little boy with black hair and blue-grey color eyes. The boy looked up at Yugi with a smile on his face as he put his index finger up to his lips as a sign to be quiet. Yugi was thinking how could he not be quiet his mouth was literally clamped shut. The boy ran over and hid behind Yugi's privacy curtain, not long after the boy hid himself from view two tall men that almost looked identical except one had black hair while the other had brown. They both were wearing black uniforms and sunglasses. The one with brown hair spoke" Excuse us, sorry for disturbing you, but have you by any chance seen a small boy with black hair? He's probably about this tall." he said using his hand that went up right about to his thighs. Yugi slowly shook his head. He didn't know why but he felt scared of them, more scared of the brown hair fellow than the black one. The two of them thanked him and ran down the hall. When the coast was clear Yugi heard the little boy laughing, he got out of his hiding place." Haha, that was fun. I've been trying to lose them all morning." the boy said cheekly. The boy went over and closed the door and walked back over to Yugi" Hey, think a lot back there you don't know how boring those bodyguards are." he said between his laugh. Yugi just gave the boy a grin since his jaw hurt when he tried to smile. The boy stopped laughing when Yugi didn't answer him and when he looked at Yugi again he saw something that he hadn't realized before. Yugi's jaw was swollen and badly bruised, including his cheeks. That wasn't all that was bruised up. The boy looked down at Yugi's neck and if you look closely you could see two hand prints wrapped around it.

Yugi started to get uncomfortable at the boy stare like he had grown two heads or something. The boy didn't miss this as he broke his stare and looked down at the floor in embarrassment. " Sorry for staring at you, it's just that I saw you were hurt. How did you get those bruises?" The boy asked cautiously. Yugi couldn't answer the boy for two reasons: 1. His mouth is clamp shut so he couldn't speak. 2. He couldn't really remember what happened to him. He remembers heading to school and smelling something sweet and that's all. Yugi pointed to his mouth and made his hand shut tightly into a fist. The boy made a confused face before his eyes grew in recognition" Oh I see you can't speak." he said. The boy climbed onto the foot of Yugi's hospital bed, Yugi watched the boy cross his leg in indian style." Well my name is Mokuba and I would ask you yours but I see you can't speak hmmm." He said as he hummed in thought on how he can communicate with Yugi. The quietness lasted for a good 5 mins until Mokuba snapped his finger" I got it I can look at the doctor clipboard that they leave at the foot of the bed." he said as he turned around. He grabbed the clipboard and read up the top to read Yugi's name" Ah! Here it is, your name is Yugi Muto and …..oh!" Mokuba said as he accidentally read the small teen condition.

Yugi looked at the boy confused when his face went from excited into worry. Mokuba looked at Yugi and saw the confusion" Does he not remember what happened to him ah man I feel sorry for him." Mokuba thought. Just then the door was slammed open which scared the wits out of Yugi causing his heart monitor to spike for a few seconds. A tall man with brown chocolate colored hair and blue-eyes and he was wearing glasses(1)." Mokuba there you are. I've been looking for you, you made me worried sick." he said worriedly. Mokuba looked down in shame" I'm sorry Seto, I didn't mean to worry you." he said regrettably. The man now known as Seto sigh" I'm not mad but you need to be more careful and stop running away from the guards." he said sternly scolding the child. Seto looked over and saw Yugi who was now looking at him with scared eyes" I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you. I'm Seto Kaiba, the president of Kaiba Corp. and that is Mokuba and may I ask who you are?" he asked nicely. Yugi just stared at Seto, but he wasn't really seeing him, instead he was seeing an older younger man with brown messy hair with brown eyes." He can't speak Seto, his mouth is wired shut so that his broken jaw bone can heal." Yugi heard Mokuba say. Seto looked at his younger brother" And may I ask how do you know that?" he said strictly. Mokuba took a huge gulp before handing the clipboard.

Seto glared at his younger brother before reading the clipboard he got to Yugi's name and that was when his stern face turned into shock as he read the paper. ( Name: Yugi Muto Birth date: 6/4/1980 Age: 14 State of Problem: Child was Rape, has broken jaw bone, bruised Larynx, and trauma to the head.

Treatment: Mouth Wired shut to heal broken jaw bone and morphine for the pain* Other state of problem are on hold until further notice*

Seto had to stop himself from raising his hand to his mouth, he looked at Yugi who was now looking at him confused." Does he also have amnesia but the doctors don't know yet." Seto thought. All of a sudden Seto's coat collar beeped" Mr. Kaiba, have you found Mokuba sir?" said a male voice. Seto pushed on the Kaiba's Corp. logo on his coat and answered" Yes I found him Roland thanks We'll meet you at the front desk in 5mins" he spoked. There were a few crackles before the same voice spoke again" Yes Mr. Kaiba we will be waiting for you sir.". Seto straightens his coat collar before looking down at Mokuba" Come on Mokuba I have other things to do today and Yugi." Yugi looked up at the older Kaiba at the sound of his name" I hope you get better soon and hopefully we will meet one another in better circumstances." he said kindly. Yugi just nodded his head as he watched them leave the room.


While the two Kaiba's brothers walked down the hallway the younger one pulled down on his older brother's coat" Nii-san what do you think happened to him for him to have all that injury? Could he be being abused by his parents maybe?or maybe he was kidnapped? Are we gonna try and help him, Nii-san?" Mokuba asks one question to another. Seto sigh" Mokuba one question at a time please, I'll have to figure everything out when we get back to the Mansion." Seto said as they arrived at their destination. The two brothers got into a limo as Roland drove them home. Roland is a 30 year old man with black hair who has known the Kaiba's for 10 years now. He had met them when they were kids, he was one of Seto most loyal bodyguards and most trusted person that he ever met in his life. Roland even helped Seto to take over Kaiba Corp. from his adopted father. The man that adopted was cruel to Seto; he even abused the young child when he didn't study hard enough. When Seto asked for Rolands help he couldn't refuse the offer. The day Seto took over Kaiba Corp. he was 14 years old and their adopted and former president of Kaiba Corp. disappeared without a trace.

Roland looked in the rearview mirror and saw that something was on Seto's mind and he saw his little brother was also troubled about something. Seto sighed about 8 times during the ride home trying to think how he was going to help the boy or if he needed help at all. When they all finally reached the mansion Mokuba ran to his room and slammed it shut. Roland was shocked at this unexpected behavior from the young lad as he looked at Seto to see if he could give the explanation, but the lad just walked past him sighing and went to his office.

Seto was in his office trying to get his last minute work done, but the conversation he had with his little brother during the ride home was still playing in his memory.*FLASH BACK* " Seto are we gonna help the boy at the hospital?" Mokuba asked softly. Seto sighed" There's really nothing we can do Mokuba, besides getting the help he needs at the hospital so there is nothing more we can do." he answered calmly. It was quiet for a few seconds until Mokuba broke once again" Seto? Why did the boy look scared when he looked at you?" he asked innocently. Once again Seto sighed" I don't know Mokuba he probably just got startled by me barging in the room unexpectedly." he answered as you can hear the tension in his voice starting to wear thin." He wasn't scared of me when I ran into the room though." the younger Kaiba stated. It was quiet once more before Mokuba spoked once again" Seto, can we see the boy tomorrow maybe if we get to know him better we can help him and if he is being abuse by his parents and they are just trying to cover up their story he can come and live with us and.." but he didn't get to finish his sentences as Seto cut him off." Wow wow what makes you think he can stay at our place Mokuba we can't let a stranger just roam around in our house." he said stressfully." Then where will he go when he is let out of the hospital?" Mokuba asked innocently. Seto sighed" He will probably end up at one of his family members or he will be put into the foster system." he explained. Mokuba's eyes went wide" NO! He can't end up in the foster system Seto can't he stay with us if he doesn't have any family members to go to?" Mokuba pleaded. Seto looked sternly at his little brother" No Mokuba like I said before we can't just welcome strangers into our home." he said agitatedly." Well he won't be a stranger if we spend time with him." the young boy stated." No means no Mokuba." Seto said, ending the conversation right then and there.* END FLASHBACK*.

Seto sighs at the memory he didn't mean to upset his brother but there are just somethings in life when you have to put your foot down." Sir if you sigh anymore you'll pass out losing all the air out of your lungs." said a male voice jokenly. Seto looked up from his computer and saw it was Roland" Is there something you need Roland I'm kind of busy at the moment." he said to his bodyguard. Roland arched one of his eyebrow" To me it seems you're too busy thinking about something other than your actual work Mr. Kaiba." he stated. Seto arched an eyebrow at the man" You know I could fire you for saying that right?" he said, but you can slightly hear the humor in it. Roland just shrugged his shoulders" I know that Mr. Kaiba, but I know you won't after all why would you get rid of your most loyal and trusted bodyguard?" He said calmly. Seto just nodded his head in agreement" So Mr. Kaiba, will you tell me what is on your mind and maybe it would also explain your brother's behavior." Roland said as he sat down in a chair in front of Seto's desk. Seto bowed his head in defeat" Mokuba met a boy at the hospital today when he ran away from you guy's today." he started. " The boy looked about Mokuba's age but the doctor's report said otherwise," he explained. Roland gave Kaiba a curious look" Don't give me that look Mokuba had the papers cause he was trying to figure out the kids name, but ended up reading more than he should have." Seto explained. Seto went on explaining about the boy's condition and the conversation he had with Mokuba during the ride home." Roland, what would you do if you were in the situation that I'm in right now?" he asked. Roland thought for a moment before answering" Well at first I would think the same thing as you Mr. Kaiba but.." the man paused. " But?" Seto erged the man to speak." But I would do the plane that your brother is thinking." he said respectfully.

Seto brought his hands under his chin thinking over what Roland told him. He heard Roland sigh as the man got up off the chair." I feel bad for the boy because of what happened to him. I hope he will get better soon." the bodyguard said as he left the room. Kaiba sat in his office thinking over what Roland told him, he stayed in his office for hours until he finally made his decision.


The next day at the hospital a small teen who we all are familiar with was crying in his hospital room. Yesterday when the Kaiba's left the room Yugi's grandfather came in and told him the devastating news. Yugi didn't want to leave his grandfather, but he had no choice in the matter. His grandfather told him that he'll try his best to get him back as fast as he can, but Yugi couldn't help but wonder what if his grandfather never gets the money in time, what if he loses the game shop, what if grandfather is thrown out the streets, what if he himself would end up being in foster care for the rest of his life. Yugi couldn't get the horrible thoughts out of his mind as tons of What if played through his head. Yugi clutched the Puzzle that lay on his lap and he silently prayed that everything would turn out ok. Yugi stopped crying when he heard a slight knock on the door and the door opened to a familiar black hair kid." Hey Yugi how are you.." but the boy's sentences were cut off as he saw Yugi's eyes were red and puffy, a sign that he had been crying." Are you ok?" he asked hesitantly and with concern. Yugi shook his head making his golden bangs swing side to side" What's wrong?" the younger Kaiba asked. The boy instantly smacked his head out of shame" I man! you can't speak dang it." he said in disappointment. Mokuba looked at Yugi once more before realizing the small teen was holding a small golden pyramid in his hands." What's that?" he asked, pointing at the object. Yugi looked down at the puzzle and back at Mokuba he moved his hands as if he was ripping something open that only the teen could see. Mokuba thought for a moment before he figured it out" Oh! It was a present." Yugi nodded his head and held eight fingers and cradled his arm as if rocking a baby." On your eighth birthday." Mokuba guessed.

Yugi nodded his head and pointed at the golden object and made his hands as if breaking something apart and then acting like he was putting something together. Mokuba had to think longer than before realizing what Yugi was trying to say" So it was broken apart and you put it together." he stated. Yugi nodded and winced when he nodded too hard causing pain in his neck. Mokuba looked at Yugi's treasure with amazement" How long did it take you to finish it?" he asked. Yugi held up six fingers and Mokuba jaw dropped to the floor" WHAT! It took you six years to fix it." he shouted in shock. Yugi nodded slightly with a small smile placed on his face,but it quickly disappeared as he remembered what his grandfather told him yesterday. Mokuba saw this reaction and wanted so badly to ask him what was making the small teen feel sad. There was another knock at the door causing both boy's to jump. The doctor walked in the room and gasped as he was not expecting Mokuba to be in the room. The man quickly recovered from his shock and scrolled at the child" What are you doing here young man?" the doctor asked with a scratchy voice. The doctor was as tall as Seto with red-orange hair and had glasses on his face. Mokuba shrinked back at the sound of the man's voice. He didn't sound like a very good person; he probably doesn't even know how to be one. The man growled like a vicious guard dog when Mokuba didn't answer him right away. Mokuba was shaking in fear literally in fear this man was scarier than any person who tried to kidnap him when his brother declined their offer at Kaiba Corp." Kid if you don't explain yourself right now I'll drag you out of here and throw you out of the hospital faster than your head can swim so tell me what are you doing in this room?" the doctor said rudely. As soon as Mokuba was about to say something he heard someone whimper and moan at the same time. He turned around at the sound coming from and was shocked to see Yugi clutching his head as if in huge pain and tears ran down his face. Before Mokuba could even react to what was happening he was roughly shoved out of the room out into the hallway.

Nurses ran into the room at the distraught teen trying to calm him down but Yugi wasn't having any of it he would pull away from them, he even accidentally hit one of the nurses in the face. Five minutes had passed and it had not gotten any better. It got so bad the Yugi was pulling out his IV and that's when the nurses had to draw the line. Two nurses held the boy down on the bed while another nurse grabbed a syringe and injected the teen with blue liquid. It didn't take long before Yugi stopped struggling and his eyes closed, everyone waited for a good five minutes. When nothing had happened they started cleaning up the blood where Yugi pulled the IV out of him. Another person was placing a new IV in the teen. After everything was finished the nurses left to do their other job that they had to do. Mokuba was just leaning against the wall of the hallway with tears in his eyes. The scene that played scared the twelve year old boy to death. He never saw anything like this other than the movies but to actually see it in real life was horrifying. The red-orange hair doctor from before marched up to the boy with fury in his eyes'' Alright boy now you're gonna tell me what were you doing in that patient room." the doctor said angrily. A few passers by looked over but kept on walking as if nothing was happening. Mokuba was hiccuping after all the crying he did as he tried to speak but just came out a jumbled mess" I-I-I w-w-was only t-talking t-t-to him." he stuttered as more tears ran down his face. By this time a familiar doctor came running down the hall" What's going on here, I hear from a nurse saying my patient was having a panic attack and I come here with you yelling at a young boy." the man said. The red-orange doctor grumble" Well (Yoe) you're not doing a very good job cause this whipper snapper was in your patient room." he growled.

sigh" Dr. Heikin ( Hekin) I'm pretty sure the boy meant no harm." he said to the older young man." Meant no harm he caused your patient to have a panic attack and you're saying he wasn't causing harm man you young doctors don't know what you're doing it's better if things were done my way." said Dr. Heikin. Dr. Yoi glared at him" Your way was that there was no hope for the boy that we should just give up if it wasn't for me the boy would be dead right now." he argued. As the two men argued with each other they didn't notice Mokuba running down the hall to the exit of the building. A elderly nurse was walking down the hall and saw the two grown men arguing like little children'' Alright that's enough you two break it up there are patients here that need rest and here you are yapping at each other like dogs now let's start acting like doctors instead of mongrels." she said firmly. The two men glared at one another before going their separate ways. The lady huffed" Men." she stated before continuing down the hall.


Soon night came and visiting hours were over and Domino City Hospital was quiet, the only sound you heard were the heart machines beeping and breathing machines wheezing. In one of the patient's rooms was an elderly man with grey hair who looked about in his 80's. The man had a breathing tube down his throat and IV's in his arms, and he even had a dialysis machine connected to him. Everything seemed fine until a mysterious dark figure with black gloves was in the room in a corner. The figure had a syringe and a bottle of yellow liquid in it's hand as it slowly walked over to the patient bed. The figure unhooked the breathing machine and poured a little of the yellow liquid down the tube and hooked it back up. Then the figure stuck the needle into the man's arm and drew blood from the elderly man. The figure quickly picked up everything and left the room and not soon after the figure left the heart monitor started going crazy. The elderly man's body was jerking for a good five minutes before he went still and the heart monitor went flat. Nurses and Doctors rushed in and tried to save the elderly man but it was too late the elderly man was dead.

In Yugi's room the boy was resting peacefully but his dream was anything but peaceful. In Yugi's dream the boy was pinned down on something like a cushion or futon. A figure with brown hair was on top of him touching him kissing him, he felt pain shoot through his body. Soon the figure stopped and Yugi was grateful but it was short lived as the figure started choking him blocking his airway. Yugi was struggling trying to breathe. The figure started yelling at him" I don't know why you won't love me Danny." he heard it say as it tightened it's hold on his neck that he thought his neck was gonna snap in two. Yugi tried to yell at the figure to stop saying that his name wasn't Danny and wished it would stop hurting him, but he couldn't. Soon the figure stopped choking him as Yugi took gulp of air into his lungs then he heard the figure say something that sent chills down his spine" If I can't have ya no one can." it said as he saw the man raised one of his hands in the air and clenched into a fist. Yugi tried to scream for help. He tried to plead to the man not to do this but his body wouldn't command it to do it as he just laid there as he watched in vain as the man brought down his fist.

Yugi bolted up in his hospital bed and tried to scream but all that came out was muffle as his mouth was still wired shut. Cold sweat was running down his face, his heart was beating out of his chest, his breathing was irregular. Yugi tried to slow down his breathing as" What was that?" he asked himself. Yugi felt a warm comforting feeling as if someone was hugging him trying to make him feel better. He looked down at the puzzle. He was actually kind of surprised to see it still hanging around his neck. Yugi tried to remember what happened to him yesterday when he saw the doctor with red-orange hair and he saw a different man with orange hair. His heart started beating faster and he could hardly breathe. He felt someone touch him but he pulled away from the touch. He opened his eyes and saw he wasn't in the hospital anymore, he was somewhere else like an abandoned warehouse or something. The orange-haired man was on top of him touching him Yugi tried smacking the man away but he didn't disappear. Yugi tried grabbing the man to push him off of him, but the man was still on top of him. Yugi felt the man holding his arm so Yugi grabbed it and yanked with all his might to get the hands off of him. He didn't want this, he wanted the man to stop hurting him and touching him. Pretty soon he felt a pinch in one of his arms as his vision blurred and he was back in the hospital but it didn't last long until darkness claimed him.

Yugi shivered at the memory he didn't remember Mokuba leave so he thought he must have ran back to his brother after whatever happened to him yesterday. Yugi's eyes started to fill up with water. He didn't want to stay here any longer; he wanted to go home with his grandfather and play games. He wanted to see his friends at school. He wished that this nightmare would end. Yugi's body started aching in pain with all the movement he did with his bruised body and the adrenaline leaving his system was now taking effect. Yugi just tried to ignore the pain as he tried to go back to sleep not knowing someone was watching him through his hospital door window.

Meanwhile inside the Millenium Puzzle the spirit was in his soul room thinking. His host has been very distraught. He tried calming him down a few times but even sometimes he couldn't help the troubled teen. The spirit wished he could do something to help his Hakari,but there was nothing he could think of. He just hopes in the future that his host will get better and he'll be there by his side every step of the way.


Seto was in his office doing some business work that he couldn't finish today. Today he was back at the hospital doing fundraisers for young kids who are stuck at the hospital. Again his little brother ran away from the bodyguards and they were panicked that he may have been kidnapped, but Seto reassured them that Mokuba was fine and he was just seeing one of his friends here. It wasn't long when his little brother showed up and Seto was concerned about him because he was crying his eyes out. His brother ran to him and wrapped his arm around his leg. Seto was afraid that maybe Yugi died during the night" Mokuba calm down what's wrong?" he asked soothingly. It took awhile for the young child to calm down and talk" I-I went t-to see Y-Yugi and o-one of t-t-the d-doctors came in a-and f-for some r-reason Y-Yugi started p-panicking a-a-and before I knew it the d-doctor's-started yelling a-at me." He hiccuped. Then Mokuba just went full blown on crying, getting Seto's pants soaked with tears. Seto was upset that someone yelled at his brother and planned to find the doctor who yelled at his little brother.

Now Seto was in his office and couldn't stop worrying about Yugi, whatever happened to him frightened his little brother. He tried focusing on his work but then his mind would drift back to what his brother said" O-one of t-t-the d-doctors came in a-and f-for some r-reason Y-Yugi started panicking." the memory played through his mind." Seto? Why did the boy look scared when he looked at you?" another memory went through his head. Seto growled as he typed on his computer trying to focus; he sipped on his coffee and set it back down. Pretty soon Seto was exhausted but kept on typing on his computer. " Someone help me please." Seto quit typing as he turned around as he heard a child's voice pleading for help. He looked around his office but saw no one" Roland." he called out but no one answered. Shrugging his shoulders thinking it was his imagination cause he was tired and went back to work. A few minutes pass and it happens again the same child's voice" Please I don't want this, someone help me please I don't want this." it said. Seto stopped typing again, but this time he got out of his seat and opened his door and looked around. He didn't see anyone and the TV in the living room was off. Once again Seto went back to his computer and started working" My name is not Danny please stop choking me I-I can't breathe." the boy's voice said. Seto had enough so he shut off his laptop and left the office. He looked around the house" Hello?" he said." Some-one he-lp me p-please." the voice cried. Seto walked over to one of the doors where he heard the voice. He went to open the door and felt a chill go up his back. He ignored it and opened the door.

Seto walked into the guest bedroom. At first everything seemed fine until he heard the voice but it was louder this time.``Please h-help m-me." the child's voice said scarily and almost sounded like pleading. He looked over at the bed and had to put his hand over his mouth from screaming and throwing up. The boy on the bed was none other than Yugi himself except now he was covered in blood and white stuff that he didn't even want to think about. Yugi was looking at Seto with scared eyes and he was crying" Please d-don't h-h-hurt me I-I d-don't want t-this." he said." I'm not gonna hurt you." Seto said as he wondered what in the world was going on. The boy tilted his head and then pointed behind Seto" Then why did you hurt me the first time?" he said. Seto slowly turned around and almost jumped back in fright as he looked at himself in a mirror except it wasn't his reflection it was an older man with almost the same color hair as his but the eyes were chocolate brown instead of icy blue. The reflection smiled back at Seto" Cause I love messing around with dolls and that's what you are, nothing but a plaything." the reflection man said. Then the man did something that should only happen in horror movies. The man stepped out of the mirror and started walking toward Seto. Seto took a step back as the man walked closer to him he couldn't stop shaking. He tried to tell himself that this was not real, that this was all just some trick that someone was pulling on him, a very good one. Then the man walked straight through Seto like he wasn't even there. He whipped head around so fast that even the Flash would be impressed about it. The man was now leaning over the now unconscious teen. The man was different now; he didn't have brown hair like his anymore; instead he had red-orange hair and was wearing what seemed like a doctor's outfit. He climbed on top of the poor boy who now looked like what he did at the hospital. Then the man looked Seto dead in the eyes with his green eyes." I'm gonna kill him." the man said. As he raised a scalpel and brought down onto the small teen throat. Blood went everywhere and Seto was too shocked to move. He looked at Yugi who was looking at him with glazed eyes" Help me." he whispered before going still.

Seto's eyes opened as he bolted his head off the desk. He was now back in his office at his work desk. He looked at his computer clock as it read 2:30am. He shook the sleep from his head" It was a dream" he said to himself. He got up and turned off his computer and went upstairs to bed not knowing that someone was watching him.

The next day Seto woke up with his brother jumping on top like some kid on Christmas morning." Arg! Just a few more minutes of sleep." He grumbled. " But Seto if you don't get up now you're gonna be late for your meeting. It's already 10: 00 am." Mokuba said. Seto shot out of his bed" Why didn't you try getting me up earlier than that meeting in half hour Mokuba." Seto said panicky. Mokuba tried his best to look upset at him but it just turned out cute" Last time I checked Nii-san you were supposed to wake me up in the morning, not the other way around." he said sternly. Seto mumble something about stupid nightmares that Mokuba didn't quite catch.

Seto was dressed and gathering his stuff and was now heading to the door" Roland I'm running late I want you to watch Mokuba today." Seto shouted." Yes sir." Roland replied as he walked out of the living room. " Mokuba I want you to behave today no running away from the bodyguards today expesly Roland." he said sternly to his younger brother. Mokuba just rolled his eyes for his response. As soon Seto was out the door Roland looked down at Mokuba" Come on Young Kaiba how about we watch the game show Think Thank Thunk! And put our thinking caps on." he said as he and Mokuba walked back to the living room." Roland, you're supposed to be working, not watching TV." the young Kaiba stated. Roland scuff" Well I'm working Mokuba I'll be dusting in the living room." he said. Mokuba looked up at Roland" That's the maids job though." he said. Roland smiled" What master Kaiba doesn't know won't kill him." he joked.

Yugi woke up with the sun shining in his face. He propped himself up and winced as pain shot through his arm. He looked at and saw that it was wrapped up in bandages not remembering it being there last night when he woke up from his nightmare. Yugi was wondering if it was just a nightmare or if it was a memory he hoped it wasn't the second one. Yugi closed his to get more rest cause that was pretty much all he could do now. He didn't know how long he was asleep before he heard someone." Hello, can you hear me?"a voice said that almost sounded like his but deeper and far away. Yugi was confused so he tried to ignore the voice not wanting to think he went crazy or something." I assure you you are not crazy Hakari." the voice said. Yugi's eyes bolted open and he shot up from his bed. He looked around the room but no one was there. A knock on the door made Yugi jump as a nurse walked in as she gave a warm smile." Yugi Muto, how are you today?" she said in a slight britain accent. Yugi slightly nodded his head and made an ok sign with his hands. The nurse smiled brighter" That's good I hope you do well and get better soon." she said. Yugi nodded his head in agreement he already wanted to get out of here." Dr. Heikin will be here shortly to check up on you to see how fair you are doing." the nurse said as she bowed and left the room. Yugi could already tell that today is one of those days that seems like it will never end.


" Arg! When will this day end?" Seto grumbled in his mind. As one of the men was talking about his new technology that he made which really didn't impress him at all. All the thing did was talk and tell you when it was time to eat during the day. Yes it could be useful for people who forgets things and stuff but it's not what Kaiba Corp. needed." Mr. Kaiba, what do you think?" the man asked him. Seto looked dead in the man's eyes' ' To be honest with you I think your machine can be helpful for people who forget things in the day, but your scrap piece of metal is not what Kaiba Corp. needs. Our company is known for entertaining kids with technology that gets them excited and helps them. So find a different company that will actually take your tin can and get out of my office right now." Seto growled. Everyone in the room froze and the man packed up his things and ran out the door crying." Mr. Kaiba, was it really necessary to be harsh on the man." said a lady at the far end of the table. Seto growled in irritation" This meeting is over and if anyone asks for me today tell them I'm not here and that I'm on a three day vacation." he commanded her." Yes ." she said as she left the room. Seto left the building as a limo was waiting for him. He got in and slammed the door shut before the driver could close it for him. When the driver got in the car he looked back at Seto who was in the backseat with his head leaning back as if he had fallen asleep. The driver didn't say anything as he drove to the Kaiba mansion.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* is what you heard in one of the patient rooms. A little girl who looked no older than 8 years old was in a bad car accident. Both of her parents died instantly in the crash. Now here she is two weeks later in a hospital in a coma. Everything was fine until a shadowy figure came out of the corner and walked toward her. The figure pulled out a syringe and injected her with some red liquid. He cleaned up the syringe and put it figure turned off the heart monitor and left the room without anyone noticing. The next day a nurse found the girl and she was dead and they couldn't find anything that was wrong with her. So they all claimed that maybe she died because the blow to the head was too much for and she couldn't fight any longer. Everyone was starting to question a certain doctor two of his patients died in one week. They were all wondering if he should be a doctor anymore, maybe he should be fired. Why are only Dr. Yoi patience dying? Was everyone's question that no one could answer.
