It was Friday. Yugi walked to school alone for the first time in awhile. His eyes focused on the ground. He clinched his teeth tightly and tried not to sob. Yugi had just found out about his friends yesterday. The butchered bodies of Honda and Anzu had been found, and Jounouchi stayed home after his ordeal with the turkey. Jounouchi had called Yugi in a panic yesterday after he had called the police. It was a call he couldn't get out of his mind...
"Hello."
"Oh my God! Yugi!"
"Jounouchi? What's wrong? You sound frantic!"
"Yugi, everyone is dead!"
"What? What the hell are you talking about?"
"The police just left my house. I did something so repulsive. Otogi. He was stuffed in a turkey...a turkey that I began to eat."
"The police? Jounouchi! How could you do something so stupid!"
"I didn't know he was stuffed in there! And I got these eerie cards that told me! The police took them away. They also told me how they were having such a busy night. They had found a girl and guy with the same description as Anzu and Honda stabbed several times! They're dead Yugi! They're dead!"
"Jounouchi calm down! You don't know that it's them!"
"I am sure of it Yugi! I am just sure of it! Oh my God I cannot believe what I just did...Yugi I am not going to school tomorrow. I feel like such a disgusting person..."
"Okay Jounouchi feel better. Maybe we can hangout this weekend. Bye."
"Bye Yugi."
"He was right..." Yugi whispered.
The newspaper this morning reported on the murders of Anzu, Honda, and Otogi; complete with their pictures. Anzu and Honda had been stabbed numerous times and Otogi had been disemboweled and dismembered. Yugi walked silently to school. Alone. Unable to keep in his tears anymore...
...That night, Seto Kaiba was being driven home after a long business meeting at KaibaCorp. Kaiba was very much aware of the murders of Anzu, Honda, and Otogi; the murders secretly shocked him. On his way home, he looked up at the moon, thinking to himself.
"The moon sure is large tonight."
"Well it is a full moon today sir." replied his driver.
He looked at his driver with a glare, but just went back to looking at the moon. They approached the Kaiba mansion and the driver let Kaiba out once they got there. It was very late, but Kaiba still wanted to check on his younger brother Mokuba. He walked through the twisted halls and dark rooms and finally approached Mokuba's room. He smiled as he slowly opened the door to see his younger brother sleeping, his back facing Kaiba. Usually Mokuba would come with Seto to the meetings, but today he had to stay home. Seto sat at his brother's bedside. Mokuba's dark sheets were covering everything but his face.
"Hey Mokuba. I know you are asleep right now, but I just really wanted to say how much you mean to me. I really hope you didn't read the paper this morning...Anzu, Honda, and Otogi are all dead. You know how I am. You know that I am not usually like this, but honestly, the article scared me. We had gotten close to Yugi and his group of friends. They helped...well at least...to change me. Mokuba you are the world to me...and if anything were to ever happen to you...I just don't know what I..."
Slight tears began to appear on Kaiba's face. He wiped them off quickly and touched Mokuba's shoulder. He was surprised when he felt that the sheets were very wet. He couldn't make out what it was on the dark sheets in the dark room. He went to the other side of the bed to see if he could get a better view without waking Mokuba up, but when he got to the other side, he froze in fear. He finally knew what the substance was. Blood was dripping from the side of the bed and on to the ground. Kaiba tore off the sheets to see that Mokuba had been slashed numerous times, but that is now what scared him. Kaiba looked in horror at his younger brother's face. His lips had been sewed together with a large thread. His eyes were taped open and his hands were bound behind him so he didn't put up a struggle. Blood was dripping from the tiny holes on his lips. Just looking at Mokuba made Kaiba wince in pain.
"Mokuba...who could have done such a horrible thing to you? Mokuba..."
"You're so pathetic Kaiba."
Kaiba's head jumped up to see a dark shadowy figure in the doorway. His face was covered in the darkness.
"Who the hell are you? How did you get past my guards?"
"Your guards?" he laughed, "Those idiots were so easy to get past. You sure do have a lot of rooms in this place though."
"Reveal yourself!"
"As you wish."
The figure walked into the moonlight. Kaiba's eyes widened as he stared into the demon's dark eyes.
"Bakura? What the hell are you doing here? Yugi defeated you, didn't he?"
"Yes. Yes he did. But here I am! Ready to take my revenge on you bastards."
"Mokuba is just a child! You shouldn't of done something so cruel to him!"
"You are so weak. This child is your entire life isn't he? The only thing you care about in this damn world."
Kaiba looked at the ground. He knew Bakura was right. Bakura let out a sly grin at Kaiba's reaction.
"Kaiba. Kaiba. I know what you would do for this boy. I remember at Duelist Kingdom when you were willing to commit suicide in order to battle Pegasus so you could win your brother's soul back. You failed miserably anyway and Yugi had to come in and save the day like always, but this time, no one could save your brother. You failed Kaiba."
"Shut up!"
"You should of heard him Kaiba. He was crying and screaming that his big brother would come and save him. But just as I threaded the last stitch around his lips, tears and blood streamed down his face because he knew you weren't coming. He gave up on you," Bakura taunted as he walked closer to Kaiba, "He knew you failed him. You have nothing to live for anymore Kaiba."
"Just shut up and let me die. Aren't you going to kill me now? Just get it over with."
"You would like that wouldn't you?"
"What?"
"I will admit, I was going to kill you; but now seeing you so broken after the death of your brother, I think I'll let you live," Bakura grinned.
Kaiba was silent.
"The light that gave you a glimpse of hope in your miserable existence is gone Kaiba. Sure you have Yugi and his friends, but most of them are or will be gone anyways. Face it Kaiba, you are alone."
"Why won't you kill me? You are going to kill everyone else aren't you? Why won't you fucking kill me?"
"Because you will be more miserable the way you are. Having your brother's faced etched into your head for all eternity. Have a nice life Kaiba, I'm leaving. Oh wait...I have a goodbye present for you."
Bakura walked about arms length from Kaiba and handed him a thin piece of metal that was cold to the touch. Kaiba gasped in horror as he felt a liquid on the cold metal.
"See ya Kaiba."
Bakura walked out of the room and disappeared into the darkness. Kaiba looked down at the metal. He knew exactly what it was. It was the needle; used to torture his younger brother, and it was filled with Mokuba's blood. Kaiba dropped the needle out of shock and fell to the ground; sobbing the hardest he ever had in his entire life.
Bakura walked out of the Kaiba mansion without any guards noticing him. In a black trench coat and under the cover of darkness, he walked on the sidewalk to his next destination. If anyone was to notice his face, you could see the slightest smile curled on to his lips. Back at the Kaiba mansion, the moon shone brightly over the giant structure and the field around it. The grass was slightly blowing in the wind, little animals were cuddled up in the grass or in the trees sleeping peacefully, the slightest sound of cars driving by filled the empty night, and a large figure, dangling from a tree and swinging in the wind, penetrated the peaceful night with a horrifying site.
