"... Hello, Anzu? ... It's me, Ryou..."
"Is everything okay? Do you want to talk to Yugi?"
"Yes, please..."
Anzu handed her cell phone to Yugi. They were standing on the school roof, waiting for class to begin.
"Ryou? Where are you?"
"I'm sorry. I'm afraid we won't be coming to class today..."
"What happened?"
"Bakura's sick. He had some sort of... episode... I don't want to talk about it over the phone, but we're at the emergency room."
"We'll be there in ten minutes!"
"No, it's all right now. If you could just come after school, we can figure out what to do about all this."
"Okay. Which hospital are you at?"
"The same one they took Fluffy to. See you then." He hung up the payphone, then walked back to Bakura's room. He'd been sedated and strapped into bed. Although he was in a deep sleep, there was an apprehensive crease in his brow. His pale skin was red and raw.
Ryou brushed the bangs away from his sleeping yami's eyes. The image was burned into his mind-- Bakura writhing on the floor, screaming and clawing at his own face and throat.
Ryou blinked. Bakura's lips were moving-- how had he missed that? He leaned closer and listened, completely still.
"... please stop... please stop... please..."

Yugi gave Anzu her cell phone. "Bakura's in the hospital."
Anzu's hands flew up and framed her face. "Oh no!"
"What happened to him?"
"I'm not sure, but we can go visit him after school."
"We'll check on Fluffy, too, see if he's doin' any better." Jouno noticed something then. He walked over and looked down at the school yard, Yugi and Anzu following his lead. All the students were leaving.
Jouno called out, "Hey, Yamazaki! What's going on?"
A boy amongst the crowd stopped, and turned to look up at them. "School's canceled! Some serious shit's going down in Tokyo!"
"What is it?"
"I'm not sure. Something about people flipping out and killing their families."
All three gasped.
The boy started walking away, then stopped and turned back. "Hey! Jou!"
"What is it?"
"Don't turn on any TVs!"
"What? Why not?"
"Not sure. That's just what everyone's saying!" He turned and trotted off.
They exchanged grim nods of agreement, then left for the hospital.

The boutique was small, with a funky neon decor. Bad Luck's 'Blind Game Again' was playing on the speakers in the ceiling. Malik was looking for a new outfit.
Behind the check-out counter was a 9" screen TV, showing only static. There was a radio in a nearby room, the employee break room, Malik guessed. It was turned to the news, and a woman's voice was cutting through the piped in music. "Reports are unclear as to what the situation is in Tokyo..."
Some black leather pants caught Malik's fancy, and were added to the other clothes hooked over his arm.
"...The count so far is over 2,000 households afflicted by this tragedy..."
He saw feather boas and slim scarves, but didn't take any for fear that someone would use them to strangle him.
"The only thing each crime scene has in common is that the TV has been left on and shows only static."
Finding a rack of studded leather bracelets, he stocked up, but then decided he liked the real Malik's golden jewels better , and tossed them back.
"Upon capture, several of the perpetrators screamed about seeing something horrible on TV before the incidents. Police are looking into the possibility of a pirated broadcast."
Malik went to try on his clothes, stepping carefully so as not to slip on any blood or trip over any of the corpses.

Yugi, Jouno, and Anzu found Ryou in bed at Bakura's side, both asleep. As they approached, Ryou stirred, then, seeing them, he got out of bed in a bit of a hurry. "I fell asleep. Is it afternoon already?"
"School was canceled. Something happened in Tokyo."
Ryou looked at the TV bolted to the ceiling, expecting to see a newscast. It had been unplugged.
Anzu and Jouno were leaning over Bakura, studying the welts in his face. "Who did this to him?"
"He did it to himself. I found him having some sort of seizure--" He covered his eyes, and Yugi touched his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him. "They're going to test him for epilepsy... and schizophrenia... They thought he was on drugs."
Yugi said, "I'm sure something is connecting all of this. We just have to find out what it is."
Anzu brought a piece of paper out of her pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to Ryou. "Last night, Fluffy wrote this note."
"'Malik's not Malik'. What does this mean? Where is Malik, anyway?"
Jouno combed his fingers through his hair. "At the picnic, Honda tried to get me to go with him somewhere. He said Malik was going to play a prank on Bakura, and that it was gonna be priceless. I said no, and he ran off... I remember thinking to myself that they should know better than to piss off Bakura. That was the last time I saw Honda alive."
Ryou eyed them warily. "You can't be thinking that Bakura would do something like that."
"Maybe it was really bad, and Bakura lost his temper--"
"Bullshit!"
Stunned silence reigned, as they had never heard Ryou swear or raise his voice before. "What kind of friends are you? Bakura may have been a thief long ago, but he never killed anyone!"
Yugi quietly said, "He tried..."
"If memory serves, so did Malik and Kaiba, yet you welcomed them into your circle with open arms. Why don't you look at Malik? No one's seen him since yesterday. Maybe he did it, then ran off somewhere!"

Malik had expected the streets to look like a scene out of Independence Day-- people fleeing Tokyo in a blind panic. Instead, it was like the day after in some apocalypse flick-- the streets were completely abandoned. How bizarre to see that in the heart of Tokyo.
Malik took a deep breath and sighed it out.
How nice to be rid of all those stupid fucking people.
He decided he was hungry, and started across the street, to where he saw a convenience store.
SKREEE!!!
Hearing this, Malik looked up and his field of vision was filled with shiny red. Before he could react, a sports car had smacked into him and knocked him on his ass.
The car had stopped, and now a boy jumped out of the passenger's seat. "Oh, my gosh, are you alright?"
Stunned, Malik looked up at a very beautiful boy with pink hair.
I know this boy... No wait, Malik knew this boy.
"You're Shuichi Shindo, aren't you?"
