I own nothing to do with the show or its characters! O.K.?

Chan: I know that putting another story up but millennium dagger is written with Sabey so it doesn't take so long to update and Mad, Mad songs is really easy to update! Now that's said, I need to get on with the story intro!

Yugi: It's rated PG13 at the moment but it may need to go up to R in later chapters. If you think it should, don't report abuse; simply tell us in a non-flame review.

Yami: (suspicious look) Why might it need to go up to an R?

Chan: Err… are you sure you want me to answer that?

Yami: You haven't…! You have! You've written another story that tortures me!

Chan: And?

Yami: oh gods!

Chan: But it won't be R for a while yet!

Yami: so, tell the worst, what are the warnings?

Chan: Weeeeeeeeeeel… Mild swearing, abuse, rape, major angst, boyxboy relationships and lots and lots of Yami torture!

Yami: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Chan: It is set any time after battle city and all the yamis have their own bodies. It has characters that are not in the show, such as, Chan (me!) Sabey (my friend and fellow author) Grace (Sabey's sister) and Serena. Only if you have read falling forever then you will need to know that Serena is my sister in this but still has her attitude from falling forever. She was not Yami's queen in this and they have never even met before this so just ignore all it says about her in 'Falling For ever'. Anything I say about my home life in this is not true, I also do not live in Cambridge but I go there a lot and it is nice! And the Yu-Gi-Oh cast live in America.

Yugi: Is that all?

Chan: Yep! So on with the story!

Dead Alive

Chapter 1

Never again

Normal P.O.V.

The streets of domino city were dark and nearly deserted, apart from a few business men and women on the way home. However there was also a small group of four teenagers hurrying towards the brightly coloured game shop each dragging a suit case behind them.

Two of them had long white hair, pale skin and brown eyes. Ryou and Bakura. One of the others had wildly spiky, blonde hair and lilac eyes. Malik. The fourth had straight blonde hair and eyes the same as Malik's. Marik.

Marik and Ryou were both fifteen and Malik and Bakura were both eighteen. The younger two were arguing with the older two.

"Don't you dare upset Yami!" Ryou's shout sounded slightly pleading.

"Oh, but he really does ask for it!" moaned Bakura. Malik nodded vigorously.

"He does not!" Marik joined in. "He's really nice!" Malik rolled his eyes.

"If he's so nice then how come he never speaks to you in class?"

"Because he is too busy slogging his guts out so he can come on this trip with us!" This was true for all of them as well as Yugi and Yami. They had special permission to go to England for as long as they liked as long as they all got C grades or higher in the term before they went and continued getting C and above grades in a school in England. Yami had found this especially hard, but they had all managed it and now they were going to spend time with Ryou's old school friend Chan.

They were planning on spending the night at the game shop and heading to the air-port very early tomorrow.

"Look if you do one thing to him and I'll kill both of you!" screamed Marik.

"Now drop it!" Hissed Ryou. "We're there!" he reached out one hand and knocked on the game shop door.

The sound of the radio and soft teenage laughter could be heard from the other side of the door which slowly opened to reveal fourteen year old Yugi, and seventeen year old Yami, Moto in the doorway.

"Hi ya!" said Yugi brightly. Yami scanned his eyes over the group pausing a bit on Bakura and Malik. Malik smirked wickedly at him and Bakura stuck his tongue out. Yami blinked and when he reopened his eyes he was looking at Marik and Ryou.

"Do you two need a hand with your bags?" he asked politely. The hikari's shook their heads with a smile.

"That's alright Yami." Said Ryou. "We can manage." The teens filed into the kitchen.

"I'll show you where to put your bags." Yugi said, taking Malik and Bakura's bags and leading Ryou and Marik into the hall, leaving the three Yami's alone in the kitchen.

Yami was leaning his back against the fridge, keeping his eyes fixed on a spot on the floor. Malik and Bakura smirking at him

Ignore them. Yami told himself. Ignore them and think of something else. You don't have to worry about them hurting you because they won't. They never would. Just think of something else. But as he stopped thinking about Malik and Bakura, he started to think of something, much, much worse. No! Don't think about that either! But it was too late for that now. Yami could feel Bakura and Malik's eyes on the top of his head. It was such a horrible sensation that he began to shiver in the warm kitchen.

"You cold, Pharaoh?" Yami's head shot up at the sound of Bakura's voice.

"w-What was that Bakura?" he asked. The tomb robber rolled his eyes.

"You deaf or something? Do I need to shout in your ear?" Yami shuddered and shook his head.

"I wasn't paying attention." He mumbled to the floor.

"I asked if you were cold. You were shivering." Yami hadn't realized it had been that noticeable.

"No I'm fine." A hand landed on his back. It was gentle, but it caused Yami to jump and spin around. Yugi was standing behind him, with a hand on his back. Yami relaxed but could hear Bakura and Malik sniggering behind him.

"He's a loony little pharaoh isn't he?" Yami relaxed as much as he could but the teasing whispers behind him kept distracting him.

"Shut up you two!" Warned Marik.

"Come on let's get something to eat." Suggested Yugi. Soon the kitchen was filled with the sounds of happy exited voices, the smells of cooking and the buzz of the radio. They had all decided to cook egg and chips.

"Hey, want a chip pharaoh?" Asked Bakura. Yami turned just in time to see the ancient teenager throw a chip at him. Yami simply opened his mouth and caught the chip in it. Everyone cracked up laughing as Yami tried to swallow his mouthful and laugh at the same time.

"You're a freak Yami! But you are a very funny freak, I'll give you that!" They had barely calmed down when a song came on the radio that made Yami grin from ear to ear. It was a song from England by Mcfly called 'All about You'. It was a bit of a coincidence to hear an English song the night before they flew there. Yami couldn't help but start singing under his breath.

"It's all about you (it's all about you). It's all about you baby! It's all about you, (it's all about you) It's all about you!" Yugi joined in and started dancing. Yami smiled and sung louder

"Yesterday you asked me something I thought you knew. So I told you with a smile, it's all about you." Marik and Ryou joined in too.

"Then you whispered in my ear and told me too, that you made my life worthwhile, it's all about you." The good mood was catching and pretty soon Bakura and Malik were singing too.

"And I would answer all your wishes, if you ask me to! But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do! So hold me close and say three words like you used to do! Dancing on the kitchen tiles, it's all about you, yeah!" They were all spilling their extra energy into the dance and as Yami and Bakura passed, Bakura grabbed the Pharaoh's wrists and started dancing with him.

"And I would answer all your wishes, if you ask me to! But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do! So hold me close and say three words like you used to do! Dancing on the kitchen tiles, it's all about you, yeah!" Bakura and Yami knew who they were dancing with and didn't care at all. They were actually enjoying themselves. Yami hadn't felt this happy in ages.

"It's all about you (it's all about you).It's all about you baby! It's all about you baby. It's all about you baby. It's all about you baby!" As the song finished Bakura and Yami let go of each other and went back to serving the food. The group took it into the living room to eat is so they could watch a movie at the same time. They all sat in sleeping bags on the floor and Yami turned on the TV.

For some odd reason they ended up watching 'Without a Paddle' on one of the movie channels. It was absolutely hysterically funny and pretty soon they were rolling on the floor with tears in their eyes. When it was finished they laughed, if possible, even harder and Bakura knocked over his glass. It was empty, but it still shattered everywhere. Giggling uncontrollably whilst picking up sharp shards of glass is never a good idea. And yes it wasn't long before someone ended up cutting them selves.

"Ow!" Yelped Yami, clutching his hand, still laughing slightly. Yugi tried and failed to be serious as he examined the ex-pharaoh's hand.

"I think you'll be alright." He giggled. "You should go run some water on that and put something on it." Yami nodded and left the room.

"Sorry Yami!" Bakura called after him, though he didn't really sound all that sorry. He then caught the look on his hikari's face.

"What? It was an accident!" Bakura made his best attempt at sounding innocent. "Well it's getting late. We have to be up at about five in the morning so we should get some sleep." Yugi nodded and led the group up stairs. They went into Yugi's room one at a time so they could change into their pyjamas in privacy. When they were all changed, they went to head down stairs but stopped when Yami came out of the bath room with his hand wrapped roughly in a bandage. He looked a bit upset about something and was already changed into his pyjamas.

"Are you alright Yami?" Yugi asked anxiously.

"I'm fine." Yami said brightly as he put on a large smile. No one seemed to notice it was fake, or that he stopped smiling the second everyone carried on down the stairs.

Late that night/very early next morning

Bakura was trying his hardest not to let it show, but he was truly excited! He had never been out of America since Ryou got the ring, and he couldn't remember much of his past life in Egypt so it would be great to go to England. Ryou spoke about Chan a lot and she seemed to have been his only friend before he moved to America. Yugi had met her once when she came over to the USA but no one else had seen her or even knew what she looked like.

And know Bakura was so excited he couldn't sleep. With a sigh, he got up and crept across the room, being careful not to tread on anyone, and made his way upstairs to the bath room. There was still a bit of Yami's blood on the white sink and taps, but that was o.k. what wasn't o.k. was where else the blood was. It had somehow gotten onto the floor near the window and even onto the window pain.

"What was that loony pharaoh doing in here?" Bakura asked the silent, dark room as he ran water into the sink and splashed his face with it. He would never get back to sleep but at least he didn't feel so hyper anymore. On his way out of the bathroom, he noticed a bloody handprint on the door.

"I'll have a word with that Pharaoh in the morning." He mumbled. He was so busy looking back at the open door that he accidentally kicked one of the bags left on the landing, ready to take with them tomorrow. Bakura recognised it as Yami's bag, and also spotted something that had fallen out when he kicked it. As he picked it up, the tomb robber went pale.

"Or maybe I'll talk to him now!" his voice was a mixture of shock and panic as he stared at what he was holding. It was unmistakably a small brown bag filled with…

"Ra no!" …small, round, green, tablets.
