Disclaimer: I no own YGO

Me: Okay, I'm really enjoying writing this fan fic. I was planning to put this up the week before Halloween, but, hey. I thought I'd give you all a preview. I'll try and put up chapter 2 closer to Halloween. This is a Halloween fic.

RR!


Chapter 1 - Death

Oct. 30, 2004

Jou struggled at the chains bounding him to the dark cement wall. Dammit! I gotta get outta here! Who knows what they'll do to poor Yug' when they find out the pharaoh isn't in this time period.

"Jou? Jounouchi?" A British voice rang through the halls.

"Ryo! Ryo! In here!"

The white-haired boy followed by the brown-haired Honda ran into the shadowed room. "Hurry!" Jou hissed.

Honda nodded and stepped fowards, unlocking Jou's cuffs. Jou fell to the ground for a slight moment, then he clambered off the ground and sped out the door and down the dark hall, following a yell of major pain that made him fear he was too late.

Jou stopped dead in a hidden doorway where Yuugi was held captive. He was chained to a wall, just as Jou had been, but he was bleedly badly from a gash in his side. If the gash wasn't treated soon, Jou figured by how pale Yuugi was, bloodloss would take him.

"Yu-" Ryo suddenly clasped his hand to Jou's mouth as Jou started to yell.

"Shhh!" Honda hissed as Jou tried to run for Yuugi and the two friends held Jou back. "We don't want to lose two people.."

So, Honda had lost hope for Yuugi... what hope was there?

At the last moment, Yuugi glaced over at Jou with his weak eyes, then death took him.

2 years and one day later...

Oct. 31, 2006

Jou gave a huff of impatiance. Honda was attempting to get them home through the little trick-or-treaters.

Jou started staring out the window at the small children, his window down. He heard the happy voices of each one of them. He then heard a voice that didn't belong. A voice he hadn't heard for a while, true, it was deeper than he remembered, but it was him. The voice stuck out like a sore thumb. Jou suddenly threw his seat belt off and raced down the sidewalk as the owner of the voice sat down on a crib and Honda complained.

Jou stopped. Impossible.. The boy looked up at him. The boy before him was topless on this cold Halloween night, his pants frayed. His blonde bangs were thrown out across his face, his spiked purple and black hair was in a mess. The boy smiled and bore his purple eyes into Jou's.

Jou slowly stepped foward. The boy also looked a bit pale, like the pages of an old book. "I..I..." Jou stuttered.

The boy stood, he was as tall as Jou. The boy used to be about a foot smaller, but no, not now.

The boy smiled again.

"Y..Yuugi?"

"Hey, Jounouchi.."
