Me:I am back! With a new chapter on this lovely day/night! How long was it since I last updated?

Yugi: Maybe like two or three weeks?

Me: Well, I'm back on track!

Yugi: Anyways enjoy the story! HikariE.M does not own the characters or such, only the storyline.

~Chapter Eight~

Yugi internally chuckled. He was set in another room in the palace. Yeah sure Kuro can still sense, but not for long. He read in a book once the only way to remove a vampire's marking is to just splatter some holy water. But it's going to burn a lot like a lot. Or you could kill the person who marked you.

Ever since Kuro tried to remove his memories when he fell asleep he was actually awake. For now, he needs to find Yami. He walked down the huge hallways until he heard Yami.

"Where the heck can I find Yugi in such a huge place?!" said Yami in frustration.

Yugi silently laughed, "Well, this place is much smaller than yours, Yami." he told the person who jolted.

"Yugi! I'm so glad I found you!"

Yugi raised a hand to prevent Yami from hugging him. He smiled and took Yami's hand and started to run for it. Guards were surprised see Kuro's royal consort with the intruder.

"Yugi-sama!" They shouted and went after them.

They arrived to see Kuro and Seto fighting. Heba and Atem were fighting with guards and monsters. Yugi took a deep breath.

"STOP!" he shouted throughout the room. Everyone froze. Kuro and Yugi made eye contact, he growled to see Yami holding hands with his precious one. He stomped all the way there, only to stop when Yugi held up his hand.

"This battle will end with only Yami and Kuro. No one, I repeat no one shall interrupt them." explained Yugi. He looked over Yami and whispered something.

The two looked at each other. Yami smirked a little.

"Yugi may remember your name, but he's mine." said Kuro.

Yami chuckled, "Oh my, Yugi may not forgive me, but as long he is safe I am fine with that." he replied.

"Shall we end this for once and for all, Pharaoh?"

"I would gladly appreciate that."

Their swords clashed. Yugi watched for any movement of any who works for Kuro.

Yami got a slash on his hip and Kuro got a stab through his shoulder. The two continued to fight. Yami remembered what Yugi whispered to him.

"Kuro is weak to silver. So try to put some of the silver dust on your blade. Here." Yugi sneaked a small pouch in his pocket.

Yami doesn't want to use it yet. He wants this man to die a slow death for trying to steal his loved one many times. He will not again lose Yugi. From now on he vowed to make Yugi is top priority.

Yugi saw someone familiar with short brown hair. He groaned. How did Tea get here?! Probably sneaked in while Yami and the rest went through the portal. Yugi quietly walked over to her. He stood behind her.

Tea jumped as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She slowly turned around to see Yugi smiling. She put up a fake smile.

"Yugi, your safe!" exclaimed Tea.

"Yea, why are you here Tea?" replied Yugi. His eyes never smiling as Tea averted his gaze.

"I came along with them to look for you."

"Well, you're pretty good at stealing someone's lover and then lying to their face that you weren't dating them."

Tea growled, "I just think that Yami doesn't deserve you!" she yelled.

Yugi calmly looked at Tea with anger, "You've turned me into a mess. I began to be negative. Because of your selfish needs, Yami had to go through the same thing he did in out past lives." he explained.

"Then why don't you die!"

Tea screeched that got everyone's attention. Yami and Kuro looked over to see hold up some sort of purplish blade. Yami wanted to run over, but was stopped as Kuro pointed his blade at him.

"Remember we're still fighting." He panted out, Kuro was already worned out. Both of them had their clothes torn with blood stain on their clothes.

Yugi held Tea's wrist. He turned her around and put her arm behind her back. He looked at the blade, poison. Yugi sighed, how crazy is this girl? The answer is no one will ever know.

Tea struggled, but failed. She snapped and yowled until Yugi knocked her out. He looked over to see Yami struggling to get up and Kuro towering over him. Yugi prayed the at Yami would win.

"Goodbye, Pharaoh." Kuro descended his sword down.

Nothing happened. All they heard was a painful shout. Kuro was on the ground. Yami just threw all the silver dust on him. He grinned.

"You! You!-" Kuro shouted at the guards to kill him. But Heba, Atem, and Seto prevented that.

Yugi walked over to Yami and helped him up. Yami groaned in pain as he leans against Yugi. Everything that Kuro had was turned into dust. They looked over to Kuro who was slowly dying.

"Never again will you bother Yugi or steal him away from me." said Yami. Kuro coughed and turn into dust. Yugi internally felt happy on Yami's comment.

"Thanks for coming guys." said Yugi as he walked over to Heba, Atem, and Seto. He looked over where Tea still passed out.

"So, what should we do to her?" asked Heba.

"I'd say we leave her here." suggested Seto.

They laughed. Yugi nodded in agreement. They were tired of love triangles, they needed a new fresh start. Atem summons a portal back to their world. As soon as they got home, Yugi tended to Yami's wounds. Heba tended to his boyfriend's and Seto's.

One door closed and another for a new beginning.

Me: Two chapter left. *Cries* Don't worry I'll do an epilogue!

Yugi: *Sighs* I'm very glad we don't need Tea to bother us.

Me: Yup! It's a good idea we left here in the vampire world!

Yugi: She won't be able to return without magic.

Me: Please R&R! Thank you for reading!
