Chapter 22- Going home

Hitomi woke up in Yami's room the next day. She had insisted on taking the couch, but Yami wouldn't have any of that, so she was forced to take the bed while Yami slept on the couch next to the bed. She sat up and rubbed her eyes before noticing a shadow looming over her. Yami was standing over her with a grin on his face and a towel on his shoulder. Obviously, he had just gotten out of the shower.

"Morning Hitomi, sleep well?"

"Morning…" she mumbled while stretching her limbs. Yami handed her a towel, and dragged the yawning girl into the washroom. "You better shower quickly before the guys get here." Too late, right after he finished his sentence, there was loud knocking at the door.

"What's takin' ya love birds so long man?" Joey playfully asked after he was let in along with the others. Hitomi quickly closed the washroom door to hide her blushing.

Twenty minutes later, Hitomi got out with a white towel over her head. After getting a few laughs and betting teased by the guys as how Yami did when she was in the shower, she went to find her boss to tell him that she needed to leave. Not having the heart to, she slowed her pace when she reached the hall where his office was, she tried to think of ways to tell him without making it sound bad.

"Come in" a voice called as Hitomi knocked on the door.

"Good morning Mr. Wilson" she said politely. He turned his chair around from behind his desk and faced her. "You're here to tell me you need to leave?" he asked.

Hitomi was taken back. "How…did you know…" she asked with a surprise tone and a pinch of suspicion.

"Your CEO friend told me early this morning. And I sorta had the feeling you were going to leave anyways, because I sort of heard what you guys were saying behind the hotel yesterday night."

Hitomi blushed. "So…you're okay with it?"

"I guess I am, I mean, you have a life back in Japan. But remember, you can come back anytime; this position is always open for you if you ever decide to come back and work. You are my best worker."

"Thank you…really. I'm glad you understand" Going behind his desk, Hitomi bent down and gave him a light hug. After doing so, she said her last goodbye and walked towards the door where Yami was patiently waiting for her.

"Goodbye Hitomi"

She stopped on her tracks. "What did you call me?" she asked with wide eyes.

"Hitomi. I called you Hitomi…that is your name right?"

"Yeah…but you always called me kid." He laughed. "Yeah…you're always gonna be the kid."

Hitomi smiled. "Alright, goodbye Mr. Wilson." With hat she finally walked out the office and closed the door behind her.

"How'd it go?" Yami asked her when she came out. He took her hands into his, and led her to the lobby where the others were at.

"Better than I thought" she replied, giving his hand a light squeeze.

The re-united gang decided to take one last stroll around New York City before leaving to the airport which was at night. They went go-kart racing, in which Kaiba won; the amusement park, where Joey tackled a mime after the mime imitated whatever he did throughout half of the day. After that, they went to watch a horror movie, and lastly, they took a walk through the park which leads to wear the limo was waiting for them to take them to the airport. All in all, it has been a fun and carefree day; not even an earthquake can ruin their mood.

They sat on the isolated playground on the swings for a short break and watched the sun go down. Kaiba and Joey were arguing after Joey played on the monkey bars and Kaiba calling him monkey. Poor Ryou was trying to get them to break it up, however it was futile.

All of a sudden, they turned around after hearing the sound of insane laughter. It was four men in leather jackets with the word "The Ravens" written on the back in big bold silver letters.

"Well well well…look what we have here guys" the leader drawled.

"Jin…" Hitomi snarled.

Yami looked at her confusedly. "Hitomi, you know them?"

Jin laughed. "Yeah she knows me, didn't your little girlfriend tell you?"

"Tell me what?" Yami glared, his voice getting lower as the gang approached them.

"Oh, so she didn't tell you. You see Hitomi use to be part of us Ravens"

They gasped and looked at her unexpectedly. "This true?" Ryou asked her. Hitomi looked down feeling ashamed. "Yeah…but that was a long time ago when I lived here with…dad"

Yami got angry after seeing Hitomi's sad face. 'How dear they put her down like that!'

"What do you want from us?" he growled.

Jin yawned lazily. "Well, we were just going to terrorize some kids here, but this is even better. Now we can have our revenge after your girlfriend beat us last time."

Yami smirked and chuckled. "Yup, that's my girl, taking on the big boys all by herself"

Joey came running over his face full of excitement. "Let us take care of dis bud, I'm ready to kick some butt!" Ryou lead Hitomi aside to watch the three boys take them on. They weren't worried the slightest. Joey was born street fighting, so this was a piece of cake for him, kaiba was trained in martial arts and Yami knows some moves as well, and he always have his shadow powers which can cause more pain than ever.

While Ryou and Hitomi were chatting about random things, the three boys were having the time of their lives beating the Ravens into a bloody pulp. Yami purposely didn't send them to the shadow realm because he didn't want to give Hitomi bad memories about the past when she turned evil. (A/N- can you tell I'm very lazy writing this chapter, not giving anything a detailed description?) After that was done, they rode in Kaiba's limo, on their way to the airport.

Kaiba got them a private plane, which is also first class. He almost threatened to throw Joey out the window because he was calling him moneybags again. Kaiba claimed that he liked the non stuffiness and the first class treatment. After a couple hours of card playing and a couple hours of sleeping, they finally arrived to Domino City.

Getting off the plane, they walked up a large hill where they can see the entire city in a perfect view. Yami put his arms around Hitomi's waist and pulled her close to him and to keep her warm.

"Welcome home Hitomi"
