Chapter 6: The Aftermath

After getting beat up, Yugi is barely able to walk, although not without feeling any pain. Seeing a jailer, he said to him, "I need medical help, please..."

The jailer replies, "First day, eh? Hehe, there's an infirmary somewhere here, but... I got better things to do, No. 34. See ya 'round, kid! Hehe!"

"Wait! Where is it... exactly...? Wait!"

The cruel man walks away without remorse, shocking Yugi. Damn it! Then, another jailer walks by near the injured young man.

Yugi asked, "Where is the infirmary, sir?"

"Go left, and then south, kid. Need anything else?" said the merciful jailer.

Yugi continued, "Yes, please. I want to see the warden."

"No can do. That's impossible due to the regulations of this place."

"Then what is possible to do in prison?" asked the boy.

"Well, paying for better food & drinks, exercise, and I guess books."

Yugi said, "I don't wants books, exercise, or food. What I want is to see the warden!"

Although merciful than most of the other guards, the jailer replied with a very annoyed and frustrated voice. "Look, kid. The warden can't just visit an inmate in prison whenever the latter wants; it's preposterous! But, if you are good, you'll be able to go out in the courtyard and might see the warden walking around. However, it is up to him if he wants to converse with you."

"How long will this happen?" asked Yugi.

"A few months from now, perhaps? Probably a year at the most."

Yugi exclaimed, "But that's much too long! I want to see him now!"

"Don't get all obsessed with this insane desire, kid! Should you obsess like this, you'll end up like your cellmate, No. 27."

"What did he obsess about?"

"If I remember correctly, he kept making some very strange offers. He said that he'd give around 123 million yen (A/N: roughly the equivalent of 1 million USD) to the warden on the condition to release him."

"How long did he stay in this prison so far?"

"About three years; he came here sometime in 2002."

"Oh, I see. Well, I guess he really is crazy, then. Thank you for the infirmary's location, sir."

"No problem, kid..."

Intrigued by his cellmate, Yugi goes back to his cell after being treated in the prison's medical center for a few hours. But, by the time he's back, he notices that No. 27 is still sleeping on the top bunk.

I wonder if he ever wakes up...

Yugi then begins to sleep. A couple of minutes later, another No. 27 appears from inside the wall. Oh, God... that was a close one. If he'd take a closer look at the top... he'd realize that the 'body' was nothing more than a couple of pillows I secretly made ... I fear that my plan would be ruined!

The middle aged man quietly climbs on top of the bunk bed. However... I feel as if I'll be gone from this world in a few years from now. Perhaps, he'll be the one to escape this place, rather than I... only time will tell.

Over the course of several months, Yugi is mercilessly pummeled by the same men. And much to his horror, he was sometimes brutally raped (A/N: Which I don't plan to describe the messy details).

Meanwhile, in Domino...

With Yugi out of the way, Kaiba easily reclaims his title as the 'World's Greatest Duelist'. However, some people theorize that Kaiba's somehow involved in the sudden disappearance of Yugi Mutou, but... a certain CEO has made deals with the mafia to... persuade these theorists.

Joey manages to collect the prize money that he's acquired through the various DM tournaments. Shockingly, Wheeler doesn't seem to hold the slightest feeling of regret, as he believes that his money will console his loss. Although Devlin's Game Shop, the Black Crown is still a success, its owner feels depressed due to his good friend's arrest.

Téa, the girlfriend of our protagonist, takes care of Solomon Mutou, who is apparently now sick because of his grandson's supposed permanent disappearance.

Solomon said, "Téa, listen to me. You are still a young girl, who will soon be a women in August... and I... feel as if he won't return this time. You don't have to take care of an old man like me forever, you know. Now, please leave... pursue your dreams. School will soon be over in a few months."

"No! No, he will come back... one day..." replied Téa as she cried.

Outside of the Kame Game Shop, stands Weevil Underwood, feeling immense regret for his most 'hated' rival.

Back in prison... almost a year later

Yugi desperately makes it back to his cell, as the infirmary is somehow a mess, due to an 'accident' which involves three familiar faces that Yugi now hates with a passion. Damn this place to hell! What have I done to deserve this?! Hell, I was even raped a couple of times, but somehow... those bastards must've paid off some of the corrupt jailers here...

The former 'King of Games' painfully crawls back onto his bed due to various wounds he's received recently. Then, in a moment of insanity and desperation, Yugi smashes his skull against the brick walls, screaming, "Please kill me! Kill me right now!"

Although his forehead is dripping with blood, Yugi continued his rants.

"I no longer need hope... as there is... no God. But... should I die... I desire the most terrible and... gruesome punishment on those who... took my life away... and brought me to hell. An eternal suffering, which not even Death be allowed them!"

"So you want revenge, eh?" asked a mysterious voice from above.
