WARNINGS: THIS IS BLOODY! DON'T LIKE BLOOD DON'T READ THIS!
Shattered.
"Who's there!" Yugi yelled as he jumped out of bed.
The rain was falling hard against his skylight window as thunder pounded through the air. A streak of lightning threatened to strike the ground if the storm didn't cease soon. A shadow moved across the wall as if to hide from the boys sight. Yugi took a step back and spun around to and saw nothing behind him. Yugi cautiously left his room and headed to Yami's. As he was walking, something crept behind him making the floor boards creek. Yugi froze and turned his head slowly. When he looked behind him, all that was there, was a dark hallway with a few glints of light reflecting off the pictures on the wall. Yugi let out a sigh of relief and continued toward to Yami's room. Yugi knocked on the door and when he didn't hear a reply, he opened it slightly and stepped in.
"Yami?" Yugi called.
He saw a big blob of blankets and pillows and giggled while he walked towards Yami's bed. He stepped over the little trinkets here and there and once he was at the foot of the bed, stepped in something wet. He cringed and wondered what Yami had eaten before he went to bed. He smiled and poked the blob that proved to be wet and sticky as well. Yugi was starting to get a little worried and he pulled back the sheets and jumped back a few feet before landing on his back side gasping. His face was paled and covered in horror as he stared at the sight before him. He put his hands over his mouth to prevent him from screaming.
Laying on the bed in the mess of blankets, all tangled, was Yami's body covered in blood. His throat was slit from ear to ear, still bleeding fresh blood. Yugi's face was white as he scrambled out of his Yami's room and down the stairs not caring if he woke anyone else up, if they were still alive. He ran out into the cold rainy night and just kept running. He gasped for air as his lungs burned and longed for the time to get a sufficient amount of oxygen. Tears were streaming down his face, mixing with the ice cold rain that seemed to be burning his flesh as it fell from the sky. He ran passed a few people who were running to get to their work a little early due to the storm as they watched him run, confusion written on their face.
Yugi ran to the park before he tripped and skidded face first into concrete. The cold rocks and soft soil clawed and scraped at his clothes exposing his skin and delicate face. Blood was freely flowing from the wounds as it stained the puddles forming around his shaking form. Gasping for air he stood up and walked under a tree and slumped down, putting his knees to his chest as he cried. The rain soaked through his clothes making them sag and looked tattered. The lightning threatening to set them all ablaze and the thunder was shaking the cold wet ground.
Yugi sighed and punched the ground rage filling his eyes. "Why!" He yelled as he clenched onto the millennium puzzle dangling from it's owners neck. "How could this happen! It's not fair!"

"Nii-sama!"
"Over here Mokuba!"
Mokuba spun around and ran into the room that he heard his brother's voice coming from. He saw his brother sitting on the couch, typing on his laptop and talking on the phone. Mokuba waited patiently for his brother to get done yelling at the poor soul on the other line. Once that phone conversation was over and done with, Mokuba jumped over the couch into his brothers lap and pleaded to go to the park. Kaiba sighed and told his brother that he had too much work to do and he could go by himself. Mokuba on the other hand used the excuse that Kaiba was always working and not spending anytime with him. Mokuba crossed his arms and threatened not to move until his brother went to the park with him.
"Mokuba, you do realize that I can just pick you up right?"
Mokuba's face turned to shock before his expression turned to defeat and his eye started to twitch. "But you never do anything with me! You always say that you run this company so we can have a better life but it'd be great if you actually spent time with me."
Kaiba remembered when he said that and remembered when they were still at the orphanage and Mokuba smiled when his brother made him laugh. Then after that chess match between Gozaburo, things changed. They rarely sat and just talked, they never ate together anymore and they hardly ever did anything but duel together. And that wasn't really something Mokuba participated in, he just cheered for his brother and helped run tournaments. Kaiba sighed again, and shut off his laptop, and plopped Mokuba on the couch while he stood up and stretched.
"Alright, you win." Kaiba said. "Let's go to the park."
"Yes!" Mokuba whispered.
"What?" Kaiba said while looking over his shoulder.
"Nothing." Mokuba replied running after his brother.

"Ugh!" Yugi moaned trying to block the sun. "What time's it?"
Yugi stood up and brushed himself off the best he could. His clothes were damp and there was dried blood on his hands and face. There were blood stains and tears on his teal pajama set as well. His sneakers were wet and stained so when he stood up, they made a slurping noise. His eyes were dull and his skin was pale as he sighed heavily. He didn't want to go back to the game shop, and he couldn't wander around in wet stained clothes, but what was he to do? He also hadn't brought anything with him but the puzzle and his shoes. This was not going to turn out so good. He could go to his friends, but then again, how would he explain why he had run out into a storm in the middle of the night anyway?
He flopped back down against the tree as he ran his hands over his face and rubbed his temples. He had a headache, and his side hurt from tripping yesterday. A few animals scurried in the branches causing a few water droplets to fall from the leaves and further drench the boy sitting under them.
Yugi scrunched his nose and placed his head on his knees as he wrapped his arms around them. 'How did this happen...?' He thought sadly. 'And what am I going to do now?'
Yugi looked around for the first time since he'd woken up and realized he was in a small clearing in the forest. The grass was still wet from the storm last night and was now sparkling from the sun's rays. He knew he was in the forest in the park, but he didn't know how far into it he was. He didn't have time to ponder it either as he heard some footsteps not to far away. He sighed as he realized that who ever was approaching, wasn't going to mind their business. It wasn't everyday you find a teenager soaking wet in a forest after all. He just hoped he could manage his way out of it.
