Early the next morning Yugi woke up. He looked around but Cerena was nowhere to be seen. "Cerena...................Where is she" He looked at the tigers and wolves who were sleeping at the end of the bed. "Have you guys seen Cerena" He asked. "No not since last night" Said one of the cubs as she yoaned. He looked out the window and saw that it was storming. "Sheesh it's raining cats and dogs out there" He thaught as he looked at her bed. He saw an opened book on her pillow. "Huh.....Her Dream Diary.....Why would she have that out.....unless" he got out of bed and put his robe on and walked over to Cerena's bed. He grabed the book and looked into it. "She never has her book out unless she had a bad dream" He thaught as he skimed through the book to see if she wrote any recent dreams. "Wow....She's had alot of bad dreams recently.....Why didn't she tell me" He thaught as he read through her dream diary. "Hmm.....here's one from two nights ago" He thaught as he spotted a page that had two days ago's date on the top. "I was outside. It was dark, cold, and storming. I sat alone on a bench curled up like a child, crying. I know I'm afraid of stormes but I wanted to overcome that fear that's why I was out in the cold......Guess my plan didn't work at all. I looked at my watch as it read 5:30 am. I have been outside for more then six hours............I wanted to find shelter but my body was paralized it wouldn't let me move an inch. So I just sat there as my body became soaked with rain water not caring if I ever get sick from the coldness of the cold air and water pouring down on me.........I was about to collaps from lack of sleep when all of a suden these soft gentle hands catched me" he said quietly to himself as he read the page. He set the book down and got dressed quickly, grabed his jacket and headed out the door. "Where are you goin Yugi" Asked the little tiger cub. "I'm goin out to find Cerena Don't tell anyone that I left got it" He said as he looked at his clock as it read 5:15 am. He headed out the door.
He searched and searched untill he finally found her on the bench becide the school gates. he ran to her as she was falling off the bench but he caught her just in time. He looked at her watch as it read 5:31 am. "Just like in her dream" He thaught as he set her back on the bench and put his jacket around her arms and torso like a blanket then picked her up bridal style and walked back to the Game Shop. He looked down at her as he saw her crying. "it's ok Cerena.........Your safe now" He said sweetly as he hugged her tightly. She opened her eyes and looked up to see Yugi starring down at her smiling with relief. She presed her head into his chest as she cried. When they finally got home he set her on his bed and grabed a dry pair of pajamas, a towel, and her hair brush. "Here put this on" He said as he handed her the pajamas. She took off her top and pants then put on her pajamas. She sat back down on the side of his bed. he walked over to her and helped dried her hair with the towel then started to brush it not saying a word to eachother. "Are you mad" She asked as she broke the silence. "Mad no..........But I'm curious.............Why didn't you tell my about all those bad dreams you had for the past month and not even tell me any of them" He asked as he brushed her hair softly. "You saw the diary didn't you.........Oh well............Some dreams are better left untold Yugi even if they are bad dreams" She said sadly. he grabed her, pulled her to him, and hugged her tightly. "From now on tell me every bad dream you have......You shouldn't keep those types of dreams locked up somewhere in your mind everytime you have them.......You should tell someone about it........mainly me or one of the other guys" He said as he looked down at her as he set down her hair brush. She looked at him then looked down in sadness. "Alright" She said sadly. He smiled and hugged her. "If you think I'm mad at you I'm not" He said softly. "I know but......Were you worried about me" She asked. "Of corse I was worried why wouldn't I be worried about my one and only girl I dunno what I would do if you ran away and I never found you like I did..............I love you and I'll always will" he said as he hugged her. "........come on We'd better get some sleep it's gonna be daylight soon and you need to sleep" He said as he leaned back draging her with him as he pulled the covers on her with one arm and held her in his other. "His chest is.......so warm" She thaught as she drifted off to dreamland. He looked at her and smiled. "Sweet dreams......my princess" He said softly as he closed his eyes and held her close to him.
When morning came the storm had stoped. Yugi awoken to the sound of the birds chirping outside his window. He looked down and saw Cerena sleeping peasefully with a small smile on her face. He took his hand and felt her forehead. "Good she hasn't gotten sick................but for being outside in that cold for so many hours she might.........................ohh I hope she doesn't" he thaught as he looked at her worriedly. She opened her eyes and looked at Yugi. "What's wrong Yugi" She asked quietly. "It's nothing Cere" He said as he hugged her tightly. "I love you Cerena" he said. "I love you too Yugi" She said as she kissed his cheeck softly. he smiled. "We'd better get up we've got work to do around the shop today" he said as they got up. An hour later they headed down the stair Cerena in front with Yugi behind her holding her hand as he helped her down the stairs. As they opened the door to the shop they saw Tristan, Joey, Duke, and Tea waiting on them. 'It's about time you lovebirds woke up" Said Duke. "Guys what are you doin here" Asked Yugi. "I saw you running outside in the rain last night........did something happen" Asked Tea. "No everything's fine Tea" Said Cerena. "Did you guys have a fight or something" Asked Joey. "No we didn't have a fight". Said Yugi. "Speaking of which I've never seen you two get into a single fight since you guys came back from the Island" Said Tristan. "It's strange but We've never been in a fight since we've been together right Cerena" Said Yugi. "Yeah that is pretty strange don't you think" Said Cerena. "Oh well we'd better get to work or Grandpa will kill us if we don't get our work done" Said Yugi as he grabed his broom and went outside the shop entrance.
A few hours later. "Finally all these chores are done hey Tea how many costomers have we had today so far" Asked Cerena. "Twenty so far" "TWENTY THAT MANY" Said Cerena and Yugi at the same time surprisingly. "yup....Oh and here comes our Twenty-first costomer already.......it's.....Mokuba" Said Tea in surprisement. "I gotta hide my brother's after me" he said. "Why would Kaiba be after you" Asked Cerena. "You ran away from home because of a fight you and your brother had right" Asked Tea. "How'd you know Tea" He asked. "I saw him at the fair yesterday he and his securety crew were looking for you he told me that you two had a fight but he didn't tell me the detals.......He looked worried" She exclaimed. "He doesn't worry about me he don't care about anything but himself and his job" Said Mokuba. "He does care he just doesn't show it infront of other people all big brothers care about their little brothers" Said Cerena. "If he does care then why doesn't he call me Mokie anymore.......I miss it when he calls me that" He said. "That we're not sure but he does care about you cause your his only little brother If he lost you then he would think that it was his fault that you ran away and may not let it go" Said Tristan. "Tristan that's not helping" Said Tea angerly. "Sorry man" Said Tristan. Outside the shop door stood a man in a tux. "Master Kaiba I've found Master Mokuba" he said into his headpeice. "You found him where's he at" Said Kaiba on the other end. "He's with Yugi and his group" Said the man. "Figured he'd be with those fools.............Great work When he comes out of the shop Bring him to me Unharmed..................You know what nevermind I'll be there as soon as I can Just keep an eye on Mokuba till I get there got it" Said Kaiba. "Understood" Said the man. Mokuba tried to hide somwhere but it was too late. After 10 minutes of trying to hide Kaiba soon found him. "There you are Mokuba Where have you been I've been looking everywhere for you" He Said as he ran to slowed down to a walk as he neared his little brother then nelt down eye level to his. "Why did you run away Mokuba You had be worried sick" He said as he hugged him."I'm sorry Seto But........I thaught you never wanted to see me again......You told me to leave your site" Said Mokuba as a Tear formed in his eye. "I didn't mean that you know that I wouldn't mean to say such an awful thing to my little brother" Said Kaiba as he messed up Mokuba's hair. "Come on......Let's go home" he said. "Right" Said Mokuba as he hugged Kaiba.
That night there was another storm coming. Cerena sat on her bed writting in her notebook When all of a sudden a bright flash of lightning struk and blew a fues as all the lights in the shop went out. Then came a loud thunder crack. She screamed which made her drop her notebook and pencil on the floor. She heard footsteps coming up the stairs then came a famillier voice. She knew that it was Yugi's. he opened the door and sees her on her bed hugging her legs close to her chest. he walked over to her with a calm voice saying "it's ok Cerena I'm here now I won't let the storm hurt you". he wraped his arms around her and hugged her tightly as she cried in his chest. He sat behind her gently rocking her trying his best to calm her down. Then came another bright flash of lightning. soon after lightning cracked again as she sunk her face deeper into Yugi's chest. She started to feel a little bit more calmer. Soon after she stoped crying. She lifted her head up and saw a light in their room but the power wasn't working so there couldnt've been any light in the room whatsoever. "Cerena........someone wants to see you" He said softly as he looked down on her. She turned around untill she could see who or what wanted to see her. Her eyes widened as she saw a light in the room shaped like a man. "it's been five years since the last time I saw you and Yugi last little sis how've ya been" he said as he walked over to them and stroked her hair. Her eyes widened as tears formed in her eyes. "K-Keitaro....i-is that you big brother" She asked as tears fell rapidly down there cheecks. "Yeah it's me little sis" he said. "Oh Keitaro it is you" She said as she cried. he smiled. "Cerena you don't need to be afraid of storms any longer..........now that you have two guardian angels now those storms will no longer hurt you and Yugi" He said. "Two...................What do you mean two guardian angels" She asked. "Ever since I died I've always been your guardian angel but ever since you and Yugi became a couple he has also been your guardian angel............Think of him as a living guardian angel" He said as he smiled. She smiled at him as she cried. Keitaro and Yugi smiled at her as Yugi hugged her tightly. Just then another thunder cracked. She hid her face in Yugi's chest. "Cerena" Said Keitaro as he smirked a little as he looked at her and smiled.
After a couple of hours of talking to her beloved brother from the heavens it was time for him to go back to the heavens. "Cerena........before I go do you know why mother called me Keitaro.............Sometimes when you were with me and if something were to happen to you she would sometimes call me Keiji" he asked his little sister. "No..........I only know what those names mean keitaro means blessed and Keiji means lead cautously but why would she call you those names................do you not have a real one" she asked. "Well..............mother and father couldn't decide wether it should be one or the other so she gave me both names.....but She would always call me those names because I was blessed with the ability to protect you when Yugi wasn't around" he said. "Hey I tried to be there that one time but Your brother from the US wouldn't let me even get near her" said Yugi. "I know he shouldnt've done that anyway he should've been keeping an eye on Sireen and Kreeno not on Cerena and you...................that's my job" he said as his trancparental body started to glow. "it's time for me to go........I'll be watching over you two.................I'll visit you guys in your dreams every once in a while to check in on you...........................hey Yugi Take good care of my little sister.....protect her with your life if you don't I will find you and haunt you for the rest of your life...............................Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha just kidding I won't haunt you for the rest of your life........but I DO want you to protect her with your life I fear that that Marik kid's bad news.....did you see what his goons tried to do to Your friend Tea...............They tried to capture her and then kill her if any of you or your friends tried to save her..............That's Marik's plan and it always had...............he's trying to get to the spirits in your Millennium items...........that's why he's after them.........I don't have much time I must leave you now Remember Yugi take care of my sister protect her" Said Keitaro as he disappeared with sparkles around him.
She began to cry. "He'll be back Cere it's like he said he'll visit us in our dreams" He said as he hugged her tightly. "Come on we should get to sleep It's gonna be morning soon and the storm will pass by pretty soon and I know-" A thunder crack but this time She got up and looked out the window. "You know......Keitaro's right.........I shouldn't be that scared of storms now..................it's been like what eight years since the incident with me and that quad-colored lightning storm.....................he told me that the Quad-colored lightning represented a good thing.........but I never believed it........untill now" She said as she looked out the window and saw the lightning coming down. "C-Cerena...................What do you mean by that..............What do you mean by "Quad-colored lightning"................Baby I don't understand what your saying" He asked her in confusion and wander. "You don't have to understand just yet Yugi I'll tell you everything when the time comes" She said as she turned to him and hugged him tightly. he looked down at her and smiled as he hugged her back. "At least............Tell me..........just a little bit alright" He asked. "...........................Alright.........Remember that one time when I ran away from my brother...............there was a storm that night and it wasn't no ordinary storm..........it was the night I became scared of storms.......The night I was hit by one of the quad-colored lightning bolts........Eather it was the blue or the gold couldn't remember it's color als I know is that it was one of those two" She explained to him as she laid down in her bed. he looked at her and smiled. "I'm glad you finally overcame your fear of the storms" He said softly and sweetly. "I havent fully overcome it yet but I've at least over came it just enaugh that I don't need to cry everytime thunder cracks" She teased. He smirked. She looked at him and blew him a kiss. He smiled, caught the kiss, and gently slaped it on his cheek. She giggled and turned over onto her back. "We should get to bed now it's way past our bed time and we've got school in the morning" She said as she closed her eyes and turned back on her side facing Yugi. "Your right....night georgous I'll see your pretty face tomarrow" he said sweetly. She smirked. "Right back at chya pretty boy" She said as she turned over turning away from Yugi as he did the same. "I will protect her Keitaro....I will protect our Cerena with my life no matter what happens I will stay by her side till the day I die......And even after I die I will still protect untill the final days of her life.......I will promise you that" he thaught as he started to drift off into his dreamland filled with beautiful creatures with warm days and cool nights.
