One morning as Yugi was lazily walking to school, he wasn't looking where he was going as he suddenly clashed with another boy when Bakura wasn't looking. The boy was muscular and bulky. His eyes were like knives the way they threatened you with death and disaster. His hair was more in a shape of a mop; it looked like it hadn't been cut in years.

"Hey watch it, you li'l runt!" The menacing person shouted before grabbing Yugi viciously and started to punch him wildly, flailing his sinewy arms all around Yugi's delicate chest.

"I'm sorry!" Yugi cried out, but he was only caused more and more pain... Bakura could only watch as he was completely breathless as his senses had failed him. Making him unable to move.

"Hey!" A voice shouted, snapping both the bully's and Bakura's attention towards them.

"Leave him alone!" Said another.

"Shut up and let me finish my prey!"

"No!" Tea yelled.

"Yes!" The bully screeched. He once again grabbed Yugi and threw him to the ground, leaving him on the edge of consciousness.

The teacher came over and yelled at the bully, only to be surprised by the fake tears in his eyes he managed to j***.

"They were being mean to me!" The bully wailed in a pretend shock of fear.

"I don't think so!" The teacher said, "Let's go see what the principle believes since I saw you doing it! Thank you crimson for coming to get me."

"What!? He came to get you?!" The bully raged, eventually being dragged off ruthlessly by his ear as the teacher clutched onto it with one arm, nearly pulling it off!

As soon as he arrived in the Principle's office with a sore (and nearly torn off) ear, the Principle didn't even care for an explanation and just gave him a week of detention and community service. Yugi was sent the nurse's office to get cleaned up from all of the blood, cuts and bruises along his fragile body.

On the way home, Yugi was casually walked when he heard loud and booming footsteps behind him. The bully was right behind him. Pretending to not notice, Yugi steered off and started to walk faster and faster with every passing second before breaking out into a sprint. The bully copied his movements and chased after him with a fist full of vengeance and a face full of fury.

Yugi ran inside of his house only to be followed by an unwanted visitor... "Well, well, well; looks like the punk that got me into trouble!" The awful boy sneered. "I'll make you sorry for what you have done!"

He knocked Yugi over with a powerful paroxysm from his fist before brutally beating him until his Grandpa and Yami came.

"What's going on here?!" Solomon (Yugi's Grandpa) yelled.

"Yami, Grandpa... help..." Yugi whimpered before falling unconscious. The bully then dropped Yugi which made Yami rush over to him before he clashed with the ground, holding his light tightly as if he were to disappear into thin air. Blood covered all over his body, especially his delicate face.

The bully just smirked and wiped the crimson liquid onto Yami's expensive, navy-blue jacket. Yami gave him the infamous 'Death Glare' and quickly punched him directly in the face, critically; knocking him on the floor and leaving him a large bruise on the side of his rough cheek. The cruel child stormed off, out of the game shop as Yami cleaned up Yugi's cuts before lying him down in his bed - letting him sleep peacefully.

However, that was not the last time either of them would see that brutal bully...

In the morning, Yami went to check up on Yugi. Since it was a Saturday, Yami let Yugi sleep in longer, but soon left as he went out with some friends.

Yugi woke up about an hour later to find that Yami had gone out somewhere. He noticed a strange note on the desk that read:

'Yugi,

Meet me behind the Toy Stash at 10:00 AM. Me and Bakura are waiting to give you a special gift. Oh, and bring a lunch. We might be there for a while...

Yami.'

The morning sun was already shining brightly in the sky, waving off its beautiful rays of light. Yugi checked the clock, hoping that he wasn't already late. 'Damn! It's already 9:30! I'm going to be late!'

Swiftly, Yugi made a lunch and shoved it into his bag before jetting off to the Toy Stash store across the whole town. He eventually reached it and slowed down to look at his watch. Five minutes to spare. He came to a walking-stop as he unconsciously drifted behind it, noticing that Yami wasn't there...

Something seemed peculiar. Out of the shadows, he noticed a figure was coming towards him with a few other figures walking behind that one. By now, he could tell that it definitely wasn't Yami.

"Who are you?" Yugi asked.

"Don't you remember? How insulting." The sinister boy said with all of the other boys behind him chuckling.

Yugi quickly realised that spine-chilling voice and turned around before swiftly breaking into a run! But before he could do that, he was caught by his collar and jerked backwards by a pulling force. He then held a cloth with a certain liquid substance over Yugi's mouth and nose whilst making sure he couldn't run...

Despite Yugi's will, he was knocked out by the intoxicating fumes of the cloth and dropped to the dirty concrete floor. "What're you gonna' do about it now?" The bully sneered towards the unconscious boy who laid on the floor, lifeless. "Well, tie him up!" He yelled.

"With pleasure!" The boys hissed behind the bully.

They picked up some rope they had found previously and began tightly tying his arms and legs, restraining them from any movement...

"Take him to the abandoned warehouse."

The brutal bullies obeyed their Leader's words and nodded as they carelessly picked him up and dragged him along the alleyway until they came across an old, abandoned warehouse. The glass from the windows were relentlessly smashed and the door had been violently kicked down. The wooden structure looked as if it had been set alight many times as well as a gigantic monster tearing it to pieces.

A few hours later, Yugi had regained consciousness and started to squirm around on the floor as the menacing men chuckled evilly. "I wouldn't bother if I were you." One of them said. However, Yugi refused to take the warning and he continued, leaving awful rope-burn marks along his wrists, slightly cutting himself in the process. The bully kicked him and heard a small squeak from the frail boy as he continued to struggle and squirm along the disgusting floor.

The bully only laughed with satisfaction as Yugi eventually stopped moving around, failing to break free from his prison. The boy kept squealing under the rope which was kept in place in his mouth to prevent him from making a noise. The bully ripped off the rope and allowed Yugi to speak.

"Please... I-I-I'm so hungry..." Yugi weakly whispered.

"Get used to it, punk!" The bully replied, laughing.

"P-Please.. I think I'm going to faint... I haven't eaten in three days..."

"Fine! *Grymhet, get this boy some food!"

One of the bullies named Grymhet rushed over towards the leader before taking a bow in front of him. He had a scar upon his face that laid alongside his determined smirk. The scar stretched up from his smirk next to his left eye that held ferocity. Grymhet held a half-bitten sandwich in front of the boy and teased him slightly before shoving it into Yugi's mouth. He pushed Yugi onto the floor from his uncomfortable position and left him squirming around again before leaving.

*Grymhet = Cruelty, Ferocity.
