Well this is the last chapter; I had fun writing it, and liked your reviews. I made this chap longer than all the other chapters.

Tomboy 601: Thanks for your review, it really helped me. Yugi's father WILL die a painful death, and Ryou will appear in this chapter too.

Now, I'll let you read chapter 7. Please R&R.

Chapter 7: The conclusion

Lara woke up in a nice morning, she yawned and looked at the alarm clock on the desk next to the bed, it was 11:02 am. I'm late, again. She thought. It has been a month since she got out of the hospital, and she had become much closer to the motous. She and Yugi are acting more like a family; they even started calling each other brother and sister!

She stretched up her body before getting off the bed and walked to the living room, there she saw Yugi sitting on couch watching ''Tom and Jerry''.

''Morning, bro.'' She sat next to him while he looked at her with a wide grin printed on his face.

''Morning…My sleepy-head sister.''

''Stop calling me that!''

''I'll stop if you wake up early.''

''I can't help it, the same nightmare is keep repeating every night and…'' she looked around and turned to Yugi. ''By the way, where's grandpa?''

''He's in the shop.''

''Oh, I forgot.''

''Now you're forgetting stuff, you really need some sleep.''

''Yeah. I do.'' Then they heard the door open.

''Hi guys!'' A young voice said, they looked up and saw a kid with white hair and chocolate brown eyes.

''Ryou!'' They ran to him and literally jumped on him causing the three of them to fall. Solomon and Edward entered the living after hearing the loud thug from the fall, they saw the children laying on the floor, laughing. They sighed in relief and smiled at them.

''Are you alright, kids?''

''We are perfectly fine, right?'' The hyper Lara asked looking back at Yugi and Ryou as they nodded.

''Let's go upstairs. The first two who get to my room will duel first.'' Yugi said running and was followed by the other two. There was a moment of silence then Solomon started.

''They're gone, that should make things easier.'' He headed to the kitchen and brought two cups of coffee, he handed Edward one before they sit down.

''Isn't he supposed to be here by now? Its past eleven-thirty.''

''Don't be worry, Solomon. He's always late from his appointments, he'll meet Lara and get all the information he needs.'' By the moment he finished the doorbell rang, they both went to see who's at the door.

In front of the game shop stood a man in a formal suit. He looks in early forties and had slight brown hair and deep black eyes. He stared at the two men before speaking.

''Good morning. Long time no see, my friend Edward.'' He said with his harsh deep tone.

''Since college years.'' Edward said shaking his hands.

''And you must be Mr. Motou.''

''It's pleasure to meet you, Mr. McMahon.'' Then Solomon led him to the living room and he asked him everything that helps Solomon to adopt Lara.

''Well, Mr. Motou. That's all, one more thing, where's she?''

''She's upstairs, I can call her if you wanted.''

''After all the things you said about her, I'd love to.'' Solomon smiled and walked to the stairs.

''LARA!''

Lara ran into Yugi's room first followed by Ryou then Yugi.

''Get ready, Ryou, 'cause I'll beat you in five turns!''

''Don't be so confident, sis. He's much better than you think.''

''It's ok, Yugi. She'll learn the hard way.''

…after four turns…

''I equip Axe of despair to Maha vailo which make him stronger than curse of dragon.''

''WHAT! That's 3050 attack points.''

''Yes, and after my attack, your life points will drop to zero.''

''And the winner is RYOU!'' Yugi announced. Lara sighed and looked down.

''I can't believe I lost, I'm horrible at this game!'' She whined.

''Come on, you're not that bad.'' Ryou put a hand on her shoulder. ''Not a lot of people learn high techniques in just one month, besides, Yugi and I have been playing Duel monsters for a long time.''

''To tell you the truth, we were able to duel without any mistakes after three months!''

''Really?'' She lifted her head and gazed at them.

''Really. So…another Duel?''

''Sure.''

''LARA!'' They heard Solomon calling her from downstairs.

''Let's go.'' She said before heading to the stairs.

They got to the living room and saw Mr. McMahon sitting with Solomon and Edward.

''Who's this man?'' Lara asked not taking her eyes of him. As he stood up and walked towards the kids, they felt a chill run throw their spine and his figure and the serious expression on his face didn't make it easier.

He knelt in front of Lara and was in her level, she took a step back while he continued to examine her. He smiled at her, which made her calmed down a bit.

''So…You're Lara.''

''Yes.'' Then he looked at Yugi

''And you're Yugi, you look a lot like your grandpa. Are you Lara's brother?''

''No, but I like to think that I am.''

''Well, what would you say if I told you I can make her legally your sister?''

''Really?!'' Yugi and Lara said in the same time.

''All your grandfather has to do is to sign the adoption papers I bring.''

''That's great! I finally gonna be one of the motous!'' Lara then hugged Yugi tight.

''Lara…I can't breathe!''

''Oh, sorry.'' She let go of him as he gasped for air.

''OK then, everything is settled. I'll bring the papers as soon as possible.'' Mr. McMahon said standing up and shaking Solomon's hand before leaving.

''Wow! You two will be siblings at last!'' Ryou squeezed.

''Yes, and I still don't believe it.''

''Wait a minute. Grandpa, is this the surprise you always told us about?'' Yugi watched his grandpa, waiting for an answer.

''Yes, it is.'' He said smiling at him and Lara.

''Thank you, grandpa!'' they both held him tight while Edward and his son watched, smiling.

''No problem, my children.'' They broke the hug; Solomon looked at them with a smile. ''So, who want cookies?''

''ME!'' The three kids squeezed.

Lara opened her eyes slowly and sat on the edge of her bed, she looked around and gasped. There was no other bed in the room, Yugi's stuff wasn't there.

What's going on? Where's Yugi? She thought. She walked out of the room and was going downstairs when a drop of red liquid in front of the stairs stopped her, then she saw there was a drop on every step across the stairs. Her body shivered as she watched the blood but followed it, her heart pounding faster with every step she take, she got to the living room and saw that the blood was ending in the kitchen, she glanced at a person's shadow on the floor.

''Yugi?...Are you in there?'' she asked getting closer to the kitchen. Her eyes widened at the sight of a woman laying on the floor with a knife cut through her chest, she shook in fear and took a step back. Lara ran to the living room where she saw a figure standing in front of her, he was holding a knife just like the one in the dead woman's chest in his right hand and lifting a boy in the other hand, the little one whined as the figure tightened his hold around his neck.

''You'll never be one of the family,'' The figure said holding him in front of Lara, she gasped as she recognized the little boy he was holding.

''Say goodbye to Yugi.'' He said before stabbing him and cutting through his back to his stomach.

''Lara, wake up!'' Yugi shouted shaking Lara; she opened her eyes quickly looking around, fear obvious in her eyes. Then her vision settled on Yugi, who smiled sadly.

''It's ok, it was just a dream.'' Tears formed in her eyes as she hugged him and sobbed on his shoulder.

''This one…w-was clearer than the others, it…it was you who got killed. H-He said I won't b-be one of the family…a-and…'' Yugi held her closer while she continued sobbing and quivering. This dream terrified her more than all the other dreams she had in the last month, he never saw her horrified of anything like that, and it made him really worried.

''There's nothing to be afraid of, Lara. Everything is fine, you need to rest.'' She broke the hug and whipped her tears as she smiled weakly.

''Maybe you're right.'' There was a moment of silent before they heard a scream coming from downstairs, they recognized the voice very well and gasped.

''GRANDPA!'' Both Yugi and Lara ran to the living room, all the lights were off except for the kitchen's, Lara's eyes widened as the dream repeated in her mind. She stopped in her tracks as she felt a chill run through her spine, she held herself and shut her eyes tight trying to get rid of the images of it.

''Lara, you alright?'' He asked looking worried, she shook her head and continued to run down the stairs.

''I'm ok, let's go.'' Yugi let go of it and followed her, all was in his mind in that moment was to make sure his grandpa is fine.

They got into the kitchen and saw him on the floor, he looked up at them and his eyes widened.

''YUGI, LARA, RUN!!'' But it was too late; someone came from behind and grabbed Yugi's arm and lifted him to his level. She turned and saw the man, she couldn't believe her eyes, he's the same man from the dream.

''I finally found you, little brat!'' Yugi shivered at his voice.

''D-Dad?!'' Carl didn't answer, he turned his sight to Lara and a smirk printed on his face.

''Uh-huh, you got yourself a friend. Too bad you're never gonna see her again.'' Solomon stood up and ran towards him.

''Don't you ever touch my children.'' He knocked him down dropping Yugi on the floor (a/n: Solomon is 11 years younger, so he has the strength to knock Yugi's father.)

''You alright, Yugi?'' He nodded.

''Yugi?''

''What's wrong?''

''…It's him; he's the one who stabbed you in the dream.'' Before Yugi could answer, Carl knocked Solomon and now heading towards them. Yugi stood in front of Lara opening his arms to the sides.

''When you get the chance, run.'' He whispered.

''What! I'm not going anywhere without you and grandpa.''

''How cute. Now which one should I choose to kill first? Hmm…The girl?''

''Stay away from her!!'' Yugi shouted. He smirked.

''Do not raise your voice to your father like that.'' He grabbed Yugi from his hair and lifted him as he let out a yell of pain.

''Let him go!'' She held into his leg and bit him as he yelped, but that wasn't enough, he kicked her throwing her to the wall then turn to Yugi.

''You'll never be one of the family.'' He took out a knife from his pocket and pushed it against Yugi's neck, Lara watched in horror; she slowly stood up and looked around for something to help her save him.

''Say goodbye.'' She closed her eyes tight and clutched to her head as she fell to her knees, she couldn't take it any more, she's not going to let someone like Yugi's father takes the people she loves away from her, it happened once and it's not going to happen again.

Her bangs stood and spread wildly as it turned to black instead of brown, her pendant glowed dark as the shadows came out from it and surrounded her. The shadows were getting inside of Lara when she felt much powerful than ever.

Carl's eyes widened as he saw the shadows surrounding the girl. ''What the hell is going on?!!'' He yelled. The shadows around her vanished, she stood up and looked at him. Her innocent red eyes were replaced with deep black ones full of hatred and darkness; she started walking towards him as a shadow wave broke all the glasses in its way and throwing Carl to the wall of the living room, the knife had been thrown and slid under the couch and Yugi had been thrown to it next to his grandpa, who stirred and slowly woke up.

''Yugi. What happened?'' He asked still feeling dizzy, and then he noticed Lara standing in front of the kitchen-staring at Carl who was trying to stand up-and saw the difference in her appearance.

''What's happening to Lara, grandpa? Is she gonna be alright?'' Solomon looked over at his worried grandson and shook his head.

''I don't know, son. We just gonna have to wait and see.''

Carl got his balance and growled at Lara. ''I don't know what kind of freak you are, but if you think that I'll leave you alone, then you're so wrong.'' He raised his arm and was going to slap her with all his strength, but she caught his hand and stopped him.

''How did you do this?!!'' He tried to break free from her grasp, but he couldn't even move his arm. Lara on the other side gave him a smirk before punching him on the face and sending him on the ground. It took Carl a while to recover, he sat up and stared at Lara in disbelieve.

''W-What are you?!!'' she walked closer to him and leaned to his level, she smirked showing two fangs like a vampire's.

''I'm your worst nightmare.'' She hissed, her eyes widened as he suddenly jumped and pushed her against the floor, he grabbed her wrists above her head with one hand and took out another knife.

''NO! Lara!!'' Yugi tried to move but couldn't, and neither could Solomon. There's nothing they could do to help Lara.

Lara struggled to release herself from his strong grip before he stabs her.

''No one's going to help you now.'' On the last moment, Lara released one hand and grabbed his arm stopping him; the knife was just one inch away from her stomach. She thought of a way to get him off her, she felt weak all of a sudden and could hardly keep the knife away from her. Then she remembered that his first knife was in her powers' area, it was her last shot, she aimed with her hand that Carl was holding in the direction of the knife as it started to slid closer and floated in mid air. Yugi and Solomon watched, stunned on what Lara was capable of, she aimed the knife towards Carl and it flew fast stabbing his heart, he gasped while Lara took the chance and stabbed him with the second knife. He fell on the floor lifeless, Lara weakly stood and watched him to make sure he's dead; the shadows got out from her body and were drained into the pendant, her hair and eyes were back to normal, the fangs disappeared and her body shivered, she consumed most of her energy and was powerless.

Yugi stood up and helped his grandpa to stand then walked to Lara, he gasped as she collapsed on the floor. He knelt beside her and gently tried to wake her, but with no use, Solomon knelt beside him and examined her, he smiled sadly and carried her.

''Don't worry, Yugi. She just needs some rest.'' He nodded and followed him to his and Lara's room. Solomon put her on her bed and Yugi covered her with the sheet, he felt his grandpa's hand on his shoulder.

''You need to sleep too, my son.'' Yugi nodded again still staring at Lara, he then walked to his bed and crawled under the sheets, and he rested his head on his pillow and instantly fell into deep sleep. Solomon smiled at the two kids before turning the lights off and leaving the room.

Lara tossed and snuggled to her pillow in her sleep, she jolted up from her bed as an image of Carl holding Yugi ran in front of her eyes. Then Yugi entered the room-which made Lara sigh in relief-and looked surprised but happy to see Lara awake.

''Lara! You woke up!'' He hugged her so tight that she couldn't breathe. He broke the hug and stood by the door calling his grandpa to come while Lara rubbed her eyes and tried to remember what happened.

''How long have I slept?''

''Two days. I thought you'd never wake up.''

''TWO DAYS! Wow, that's long.'' She commented. Solomon walked in and hugged her the moment he saw her just as tight as Yugi's hug.

''Are you trying to kill me or something?!'' they chuckled.

''Look at this,'' Then Solomon held some papers in front of her. ''You're officially 'Lara Motou', and these papers prove it.''

''And you're officially my sister.''

''Really?!''

''Really.'' Yugi said as he hugged her again. ''We're gonna have a lot of fun, there're many places I haven't shown it to you.'' She smiled and hugged him back.

''Ok, but first I wanna eat something. I'm starving!!''

''Well,'' he looked at the window. ''It's going to rain so we can't go outside. Hmmm…I did bought a meal from Macdonald's three hours ago, it's in the fridge if you wanted.''

''Thanks.'' She got off her bed and went to the kitchen and ate everything her eyes lay on.

The thunder storm was loud that night; Lara climbed the desk and watched from the window as the rain fell on everything on sight while Yugi stayed in his bed, staring at her.

''I still don't understand, what do you like in these storms?''

''I don't know, it's just…watching the rain falling and covering everything really calms me.'' A lightening stroke near the game shop, it frightened Lara and made her fell on her head.

''Are you ok, Lara? I guess you're afraid of lightening just as much as I am.'' She rubbed the back of her head before answering.

''Ok, I'm a little afraid. Can I sleep with you tonight? Please I won't kick you in my sleep again.'' Yugi chuckled at her pleading.

''JUST tonight.''

''Oh, thank you. Now move on, it's getting too late.'' He smiled and obeyed; she put her pillow next to his and laid there.

''Can I ask you something before we get to sleep?''

''Of course.''

''What happened in the last two days, after I passed out?''

''Well, it turned out that my father ran from jail the night before the attack, the police came and took his body and just asked us some questions. The paramedics examined you and they said you'd be unconscious for a while, no serious injuries. That's all, but there's one thing that bothers me.''

''And what's that?''

''How did you do it? You looked different, stronger and were able to move things without even touching them. Is it because of that pendant you have? I saw it glowing before.''

''I…I really don't know, these things always happens to me when I get angry. I remember my mom tells me not to lose the pendant and to protect it with my life, she also said it'll protect me if anything happen.''

''It protected me and grandpa when my dad attacked us. You saved our lives, thank you.''

''My pendant saved us. You should thank my mother for giving it to me.'' They smiled and stared at each other.

''I love you, brother.''

''I love you too, sister.''

Then they both closed their eyes and fell in a deep sleep.
