Yugi had woken up in the morning as the sun shone brightly in the sky engulfing the beautiful world in its golden beauty, welcoming the new day which had just arrived. He felt much refreshed after a somewhat peaceful nights sleep which made him feel much better. He decided that he would go out for a walk after he had gotten approval from Bakura.

As he walked throughout the city, he had noticed that he was being followed by mysterious figures; so, he decided to power-walk back over to the apartment.

As soon as he arrived, nine figures jumped out and grabbed him with their iron grip which made Yugi recognise them quickly, easily and immediately. He tried to run, however their grip was just too strong for his feeble efforts. He shouted for his friends, "Ryou! Bakura! Seto!" Even though he thought they wouldn't have heard him.

He saw that Yami was with Joey and Tristan along with other bullies from the school and their leader had surrounded him and locked him in position. With a click of his fingers, Yami sent Joey and Tristan charging towards him, tackling him to the floor on impact with a great THUD.

The considerable amount of pain Yugi was feeling made him scream and cry in agony, he only wished they'd stop, nevertheless, they wouldn't. Even if he begged, and screamed, and cried even louder than he was right now would stop these brutal bullies from getting their satisfaction any time soon.

"Shut up!" Joey yelled viciously whilst dragging him into an alleyway which had blocked out the sun from the towering buildings to make it look darkened and frightening.

"N-No! I-I won't l-listen to you! I-I don't have to!" Yugi squealed in panic.

Joey just punched him in the stomach using all of his power and might which forced Yugi to go flying into the ground, only to be picked back up and thrown towards the other end of the blackened abyss.

Yugi became completely exhausted and gave up. He knew that they wouldn't stop. He knew that they loved it when he screamed, squealed and struggled under him. He knew that he was inferior to the relentless teens.

"Haha!" Tristan laughed. "Look at him, he's already been defeated. I thought he'd put up more of a fight. It's fun to watch them squirm around." He continued, his tone getting more and more cruel as he stepped closer towards the helpless boy who laid in defeat on the floor. Giving up on everything.

"Let's get 'im" One of the bullies yelled in victory.

They all stepped forward, unleashing their fists or fury onto the defenseless and frail boy until they were satisfied. Although it was only two hours, it seemed as it was two days for young Yugi.

"Let's go. He's not worth it anymore. Let him die in his own pool of blood." Yami spat.

"Hey!" A voice yelled from behind.

They all turned around, flames thrashing through their demon-like eyes as they all saw a furious Ryou.

"Ha! What're you gonna' do about it, pipsqueak?"

"He's obviously our next victim." Yami spoke, venomously.

Two bulky bullies came up from behind Ryou who was distracted from the enraged emotions he had and leaped on top of him, rendering him helpless like Yugi who laid on the floor, unconscious.

"Hey! Get OFF!" Ryou boomed.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Nope." Yami teased. "We can't have you talking whilst we beat you up!" He put a finger to Ryou's lips in hope to seal them, making Ryou's teeth be shown and attempt to bite him.

Yami flinched and jumped back quickly so his finger hadn't been bit off. He then growled at the constricted boy before saying, "He's got a lot of fire inside of him. How about we extinguish the fire and demolish him like we did to THAT over there?" He gestured towards Yugi's lifeless body.

"Don't you dare!" Ryou raged.

Yami and Tristan were already walking closer and closer to him, smashing their fists into their hands as a threat before they lunged their fists into his body, forcing blood to spew out from his mouth and the cuts he had from the skin which was pierced and grazed from the powerful punches of anger and hatred.

Three hours later, they had stopped the torture and left him lifeless as his 'punishment' was worse than what had happened to Yugi for being pathetic. They had been left in their own pools of gruesome blood. The thick, red liquid had dyed their clothes to a crimson colour as they both laid motionless, not caring whether they lived or died. Dying right now seemed perfectly fine to ending the misery they had been put through...

An hour later as Bakura was taking a walk to see where Ryou had ran off to, he could smell the awful scent of blood. The thick, gross, metallic scent which filled the air in its gruesome smell. There he saw Ryou and Yugi. Lying next to each other in pools of blood. He gasped in horror as he quickly called an ambulance for the two unlucky souls who had been put through terrorizing torture and misfortune...

Five minutes later, the deafening sirens of the roaring ambulance came rushing around the corner as the speed of light, dispersing paramedics from it as they pulled out stretchers to carefully take away Yugi and Ryou along with Bakura who waiting in the back of the ambulance for them to awaken or at least arrive at the ambulance where he would wait for them to come back from their unconscious minds.

They managed to awaken a few hours later to notice Bakura standing by both of their hospital beds. "Wh-Where am I?" Yugi asked, stirring slightly.

"I-I don't know..." Ryou mumbled.

"You're at the hospital, I saw both of you lying in a pool of blood in the alleyway. Don't worry, the doctor said that you can come home when you two woke up." Bakura mentioned

"Alright, l-let's go."

"You guys have to wait for the doctor's approval first."

"Alright..."

At that moment, the doctor walked in to see that Yugi and Ryou have awakened. He peered down at his clipboard and smiled a warm and cheery grin whilst nodding towards them, "You may go now if you'd like, but take it easy and get some rest."

"A-Alright."

They stepped out of bed nearly collapsing again, however Bakura had leaped towards them as they fell onto him, clutching on his shirt. He chuckled slightly as he carried them both over his shoulder before arriving at home and setting them down on his bed.

Both boys fell asleep peacefully to recover from their awful adventure today...
