And now, Chapter 44! =D
"You like him, don't you?" Atem asked Yami.
"Why yes. Yes i do. Why? got a problem with that?" Yami snapped. Even though he was all happy with him kissing Yugi and all, he was still angry at what Atem just said a while ago.
"You know you can't have him. He's destined to be married to me. After all, i am the father of the brat." Atem said, walking closer to Yami.
"With the way you're acting right now, i don't think that counts. You don't even deserve to be the father of &ugi's child." Yami hissed. Even though the child Yugi's carrying wasn't his, he felt a certain connection with him. 'Probably because i was just like him/her..' Yami thought.
"Well, the baby will be born no matter what. And, after father learns about this, he will make Yugi marry me." Atem said, mocking Yami.
"I don't think so. Not after i tell him about what you said about your child." Yami hissed. He was beginning to be infuriated with Atem now.
"Oh? really? And how are you going to do that? like father will ever believe you." Atem said.
"Yeah, after Heba and Yugi clarifies it for me. I'm sure father will believe them." Yami said, clenching his fists.
"Pfft. Who cares about them? Like anyone will believe them. I'll just tell father that they were just making the thing up because they are in denial of the brat." Atem spat.
"I would." Yue said, appearing out of nowhere.
"Yue." Atem said, as he looked for the owner of the voice.
"I would believe my children if they say something like this. And i will make sure that none of my children, or even any angel marry you. Yami, on the other hand, i would allow Yugi to marry." Yue said, crossing his arms.
"Well then, I guess when i become ruler of hell, i'll just have to declare a war on heaven then." Atem said, looking smug.
"No you wont." Aknamkanon said, appearing next to Yue.
"F-father.. w-what d-do y-you m-mean?" Atem stuttered. Oh dear, he wasn't expecting his father to show up!
"What i mean is, you are no longer the crown prince. I am giving the crown to Yami now." Aknamkanon said. Atem's eyes widen- no, bulged out from their sockets.
"FATHER! You do not mean that, do you?" Atem asked.
"Oh yes i do mean that. From now on, Yami will be the future successor and not you, Atem." Aknamkanon said.
"But father! Yami doesn't deserve that!" Atem shouted.
"Oh yes he does. He has shown more leadership potential than you. Plus, he doesn't speak so lowly of his mate-to-be." Aknamkanon said, looking cross at Atem.
"B-but!" Atem stuttered. He wasn't going to give up his crown, ever! Not especially for Yami!
"No buts, Atem. Once we get back to Hell, i will make it official with the sign of the council." Aknamkanon said, starting to walk off.
"But father!" Atem protested.
"No buts! This matter is final. No more word is to be spoken about this until we come back home!" Aknamkanon shouted, walking off. Yue followed him soon after leaving Yami and Atem behind.
"You!" Atem shouted, looking at Yami. "You planned this, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?" Atem shouted over to the grinning Yami. "You always wanted my crown! You were always jealous because i am destined to become king and you weren't!" Atem shouted.
"Get real, Atem. I never wanted to be king, but, now that i will, i think i'm going to like it." Yami said, grinning as he walked off.
"Why you!" Atem shouted, producing a dagger from thin air. Yami managed to dodge it and subdue Atem.
"Tsk, tsk. Attacking the future king? isn't that a crime punishable by banishment? oh, you wouldn't want father to hear about this, do you?" Yami said, looking smug as ever.
"You wouldn't dare." Atem spat.
"Yeah, i guess you're right. J%st tonight of course, i wouldn't want anything to dampen the mood on Yugi's birthday. Though, it has been dampened already by your stupidity." Yami said, flying off.
"Stupid Yami. Stupid Yugi." Atem muttered as he walked off.
'Oh? Prince Atem of Hell has hatred for my two favorite people? Oh.. this is so.. wonderful.' Sesshoumaru thought as he watched them.
Yami flew to Yugi's room to tell him of the wonderful news. But before he could speak a word, he was grabbed by Tristan and pushed into a wall.
"What are you doing here, demon?" Tristan spat. Yugi immediately stood up from his bed and walked over the two.
"Tristan stop it! Yami's a guest of mine." Yugi said, pushing Tristan away.
"But Yugi, he.. he.. did those things with you!" Tristan said, pointing a finger at Yami.
"Please, pointing at people is rude." Yami said, smirking at Tristan.
"And so are you." Tristan shot back. "Yugi, why is he here? You know he's dangerous and all!"
"I know, but, he apologized." Yugi said, putting distance between the two.
"And i guess you forgave him, didn't you?" Tristan asked.
"Yes.." Yugi muttered. "But he said he's changed! He won't do anymore bad stuff to me!" Yugi said. Yami smiled at Yugi's efforts to stop Tristan from murdering him.
"And you believed him. That's so you Yugi." Tristan said, putting his arms in his hips.
"So what? I'm willing to give him another chance. Why, is that so wrong?" Yugi asked.
"I can't believe you're doing this, Yugi. Really. What's next? You kissed him?" Tristan scoffed.
"Actually.." Yugi muttered. Tristan's eyes widened.
"You DID? Yugi, how could you?" Tristan shouted.
"Well.." Yugi said. He wasn't really sure how he's going to explain the situation. 'I'm going to tell him, 'I kissed him because i love him'? Yeah right..'
"And you!" Tristan shouted pointing at Yami.
"I prefer to be called Yami, thanks." Yami said, sitting down a chair.
"And you took Yugi's confusion and used it for your own gain!" Tristan shouted.
"I did no such thing. In fact, he was the one who kissed me." Yami said, crossing his legs.
"Well that's because you probably did something evil to him!" Tristan shouted before pulling Yugi. "Yugi? Yugi? are you alright? did this evil Yumi did something wrong with you? tell me, i promise to break his nose if he did."
"Please. Listen to yourself and how you sound like." Yami scoffed. Tristan glared at Yami before turning back at Yugi.
"I'm fine Tristan. Yami did nothing to me. I swear." Yu(i said.
"But still. How can we be sure? You could have been hypnotized to forget, or, or, you've been tricked! You probably have to be force-fed or, force-drunk this potion, or, or.." Tristan stuttered.
"TRISTAN!" Yugi shouted.
"What?" Tristan shouted back.
"STOP BEING SO MUCH PARANOID!" Yugi shouted. "I'm fine, really. Yami did nothing to me. I know because when my powers were awakened, it gave me more protection against spells!"
"You sure?" Tristan asked, looking at Yugi in disbelief.
"Yes I'm sure. Now, can you please leave us alone for now?" Yugi asked.
"No. I won't let that monster be alone with you." Tristan said, sitting down Yugi's bed.
"Please?" Yugi asked, using his puppy dog look.
"No. And don't you dare use those. I've grown an immobility with them." Tristan said.
"TRISTAN TAYLOR, I DEMAND YOU TO GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF HERE AND TO LEAVE ME AND YAMI ALONE!" Yugi shouted. Tristan and Yam) flinched at the level of Yugi's voice.
"Sure!" Tristan shouted, running as fast as he can for dear life. Yugi poked his head out the door.
"And bring me some apple juice later, okay?" Yugi shouted. He then went inside the room.
"Wow Yugi, you can be so in control.." Yami said, walking closer to Yugi. Yugi then giggled as he held on Yami's neck and began kissing him. But after a few kisses, Yami pulled back. "Yugi, there's something i need to tell you." Yami said, breaking free of Yugi's grasp.
"What is it, Yami?" Yugi asked.
"Well.." Yami started but was interrupted by Yugi.
"Oh my gosh! You got someone pregnant didn't you?" Yugi shouted.
"What? no!" Yami protested.
"You already have someone else?" Yugi shouted once more.
"No! Yugi I-" But he was interrupted once more.
"You found someone else because i'm fat now, isn't it? ISN'T IT?" Yugi shouted, his eyes widened and his nose flaring. Yami 'eeped' before he spoke again.
"Yugi! Would you please calm down for a minute so i can say it?" Yami shouted, putting his arms on Yugi's shoulders to calm him down.
"Sorry, i just felt angry back then. Now, what was it about?" Yugi asked, sitting in an indian position.
"You know, your mood swings are so funny at some times, you know that?" Yami said, chuckling. Yugi, however, was tearing up.
"y-you t-think i-i'm f-funny?" Yugi asked, with teary eyes.
"No! I didn't mean that! I swear!" Yami shouted, trying to comfort Yugi again.
"You did mean that! And you're laughing because i'm fat now? wahh.." Yugi said, crying.
"Yugi, please, i'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I swear." Yami said, holding Yugi close.
"You didn't?" Yugi asked.
"I didn't. Really." Yami said, holding Yugi close.
"THEN WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU SAY THAT?" Yugi shouted.
"I-i oh never mind. Okay, Yugi. Just listen to me okay? I'm going to have to tell you something." Yami said.
"Okay. I'm listening." Yugi said.
"Okay. I'm glad to tell you that i-" Yami started. But before he could say anymore, Tea burst in the room. "Oh what now?" Yami groaned.
"Yugi, come here! I need to get you dressed!" Tea said, pasing by Yami without even a look.
"What for?" Yugi asked, perking up.
"For something. Now come on!" Tea said, pulling Yugi off.
"You can tell me about it later, Yami!" Yugi shouted. Yami groaned as he watched Yugi and Tea ran off.
"Why am i changing Tea?" Yugi asked as he lifted his shirt up.
"It's for something important. Now, put this on." Tea said, handing Yugi some white pants and white shirt with gold outlines.
"Okay." Yugi said, pulling his shorts down and put the pants up.
"Here. Place this around your neck." Tea said, handing Yugi a golden necklace with a huge ruby in the front.
"WOW! This ruby is about the size of a fist!" Yugi exclaimed. To make sure, he curled his hand into a fist and placed it into the ruby.
"I'm sure it is. Now, here." Tea said, handing Yugi three golden bracelets.
"What's this for?" Yugi asked.
"You wear them at your hands, duh!" Tea said. "Are you done yet?"
"I think so.. now, why am i dressing up fancy like again?" Yugi asked.
"You'll see. Now, let's go!" Tea said, pulling Yugi off somewhere again.
As Tea dragged Yugi around the halls, they soon met up with Heba and Joey.
"Ah, i see they got you too." Heba said, looking over Yugi's attire.
"Unfortunately. Now, what are we supposed to do?" Yugi asked.
"Dunno." Heba said.
"You guys just wait here. Okay?" Tea asked. But before they could reply, Tea was gone as fast as she appeared along with Joey.
"What do you think this is all about?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know.. maybe a surprise?" Heba said, pondering over the idea.
"Well, it is a day after our !irthday." Yugi said, cheering up.
"Yeah. Maybe it is after all.." Heba said, his eyes twinkling at excitement. Te% and Joey appeared once more, this time, while holding blindfolds for each of them.
"I suppose you're going to tie us up?" Yugi asked.
"Uh-huh." Joey said, walking behind Yugi as he placed the blindfold around him. Tea did the same to Heba."Okay. No peeking, got it?"
"Got it." The two replied.
"Okay, here we go. Hold on to me, okay?" Joey said, holding both their hands.
"Sure." The two replied once more. Joey then led them all around the palace.
"Joey, where exactly are we going at?" Heba asked.
"Yeah.. i think i'm gonna be sick.." Yugi said, clutching on his stomach.
"I was told that i should just lead you guys somewhere randomly around the palace until Tea arrives and picks you guys up. Oh, here she is now! Hey Tea! Ready yet?" Joey asked.
"Sure is. Are you guys ready?" Tea asked Heba and Yugi.
"As ready as we'll ever be." Heba replied.
"Okay, come on!" Tea said, pulling them gently towards the ballroom doors. "Okay. Take out your blindfolds when i say ready. Got it?"
"Got it." The two replied.
"Okay. Here we go!" Tea said, opening the doors. Yugi and Heba felt as if they've entered a huge room. (You will know this because you fell something when you enter one. Go on, try entering a huge room.)
"Okay.." Yugi said, wobbling as he walked. He heard a couple of giggles from behind him.
"Okay.. Ready, get set, go!" Tea shouted. The two then immediately took off their blindfolds and were greeted with a 'SURPRISE'!
"Wow!" Yugi exclaimed as he looked all around the ballroom. "This place is HUGE!" Yugi said, still in awe. Yue and Nakuru approached their sons.
"Mom! Dad!" Yugi and Heba shouted as they ran to hug their parents.
"Aw, Happy Late irthday, to you two." Nakuru said, hugging the two together.
"Thanks Mom!" Yugi and Heba exclaimed. "You too dad!"
"Heh heh. You're both welcome. Now go on, have some fun. Oh and Yugi, i would advise you to tell someone if you are feeling sick. Got it?" Yue asked, but Heba and Yugi were already in their way to their friends.
"You guys! You planned this, didn't you?" Yugi shouted over to his friends who were laughing.
"Yeah. Though, Tea did most of the work. She organized everything." Tristan said, nudging Tea on her side.
"Of course i had to. Who else knows you two better than me?" Tea said.
"Well thanks. It looks great." Heba said, looking around the ballroom.
"It should be. We spent most of today preparing it." Tea replied.
"Oh. So that's why you wouldn't let me enter!" Heba said, crossing his arms.
"Wouldn't want to spoil the surprise." Joey said with a shrug.
"Oh well. Come on, let's have some fun!" Tea said, pulling the two onto the dance floor.
"Sorry Tea, i can't." Yugi said.
"Why not?" Tea asked.
"Erm, Pregnant? Baby? Be careful? Hello?" Yugi said sarcastically.
"Oh yeah. Brain fart. You can go have a seat over there." Tea said, pointing over the chairs near the snack tables.
"Okay. Have fun." Yugi said, walking off. Before he could walk over the seats, R*ou walked up to him and stopped him.
"Yugi, if you value your sanity, you would not go there." Ryou said.
"Why not?" Yugi asked.
"Because, Malik and Marik decided to have a full-blown make out session." Ryou replied.
"WHAT! Why does Malik want to make out with Marik? I thought he hated that guy's guts?" Yugi asked. (Okay, Ryou and Malik never got to tell Yugi about their relationships and the marriage thing..)
"Oh yeah. We forgot to tell you." Ryou muttered. Bakura then appeared next to Ryou, which surprised Yugi a little when Bakura kissed Ryou.
"What the? Why are you kissing him, Ryou?" Yugi shouted when Bakura left.
"Well.. we forgot to tell you.. I'm getting married to Bakura, and Malik's getting married to Marik." Ryou said.
"WHAT?" Yugi shouted.
"Long story short, Yue needed a peace treaty, the treaty wanted us to get married, so we are." Ryou explained.
"And you're okay with that?" Yugi asked, surprised at Ryou who would agree to such a thing.
"Not at first, but, i learned to like Bakura. And now, i'm totally in love with him. Isn't it great?" Ryou squealed.
"Yeah.. great.." Yugi muttered.
"Well come on! Let's not just talk here! There's a party going on! Come on! Mingle! talk to your guests, have fun!" Ryou said, running over, pulling Yugi with him.
"i'd pass.." Yugi muttered.
"Sure?" Ryou asked.
"Yeah. I'm going to sit down. Joey made me run all over the castle. I'm a little bit tired." Yugi said.
"Okay then. Just make sure you sit as far away as possible from Malik and Marik. 'Kay?" Ryou asked.
" 'kay. Now go and have fun!" Yugi said, shooing Ryou away.
"Bye! See ya later!" Ryou said, happily walking towards Bakura. As Yugi sat down, he felt someone walk up to him.
"Now, why isn't the birthday boy out having fun in his party?" Yami asked, sitting next to Yugi.
"Oh, hi Yami." Yugi said, looking up. "I'm not partying right now 'cause i'm tired.." Yugi said with a sigh.
"Oh. Want me to massage your back then?" Yami offered.
"Will you?" Yugi asked.
"Sure. Er.. can we go somewhere private though? I think it'll look weird if someone sees me massaging your back here.." Yami muttered looking at the guests who started to stare at them and whisper to each other.
"Sure. But, no avances, okay?" Yugi asked, staring at Yami.
"Why do you always think i'd try and do something to you?" Yami asked, a bit hurt of Yugi not trusting him.
"Because i know you will." Yugi said, standing up.
"Fine." Yami said, standing up.
"Okay then. Let's go to my room. My back's really killing me.." Yugi muttered.
Want to take a break?
Sure. Go on.
No? Sure? Let me warn ya, this chapter's long.
So, you might want to go to the bathroom, grab something to eat.
Still no? You'd prefer to continue reading?
Oh well. Go on!
Yami then led Yugi towards his room. As they left, most of the guests saw this and were whispering to each other about it.
"Really? Prince Yugi and Prince Yami are together?" A nobleman asked the woman next to him.
"Oh I am sure. I even saw them leave this very room holding hands!" The woman said to the nobleman. Who, in turn, whispered it to the man next to him.
"Really? Prince Yugi and Prince Yami are getting married?" A noblewoman asked her fr-+nd&.
"Why Yes! I even overheard them talking about it earlier! They said that their love for each other is pure and they would want to get married as soon as possible!" A fat noblewoman said. On another part of the party..
"What? Prince Yugi and Prince Yami are planning to run away together because they could not get married since Prince Atem is the father of the child Prince Yugi is carrying?" A fat nobleman asked.
"Yes. I even saw them leave in their haste. I bet they're over in their room right now and are packing up to run away! Oh, so romantic!" A noblewoman said, taking a handkerchief from her pocket and waved it in the air. The news soon reached Yugi's friends..
"WHAT?" They all shouted as Ryou told them the story.
"I told you! I heard that Yugi and Yami are off in their room, packing away to prepare to run away tonight!" Ryou said.
"Ryou, are you sure? That isn't like Yugi at all." Heba said, crossing his arms.
"I'm positive! I overheard a couple of noble men talking about it! It seem that Yugi and Yami are running away since they can't get married since Atem's the father of Yugi's baby!" Ryou exclaimed.
"Oh. Well, let's just go to their rooms. I still think it's just a rumor." Tea said, standing up.
"Okay. Let's hurry! Maybe we can catch them before they run away!" Ryou said, dashing towards the doors.
"Okay Yugi, lie down here." Yami said, pointing over his bed. Yugi looked a bit uneasy. "What? afraid there's a bogeyman under the bed? you know, i'm way scarier than any ordinary bogeyman." Yami said, walking over to Yugi.
"It's not that.." Yugi muttered.
"Well then what?" Yami asked.
"er.. wait." Yugi said. His golden wings then popped out from his back. Yugi then took a golden feather from his wings and held it in front of Yami.
"What's this supposed to be about?" Yami asked. Yugi's wings then returned inside him.
"So i can tell if you're lying or not." Yugi said.
"Okay. What do you need it for?" Yami asked.
"Well, this feather turns white when you say the truth, and black when you're lying. I just need this to reassure myself." Yugi said.
"Reassure yourself of what?" Yami asked, chuckling softly.
"That you wont rape me, seduce me or anything like that." Yugi said, pouting. Yami laughed at this. "I'm serious!" Yugi exclaimed.
"Okay, okay. I wont rape you, seduce you or anything like that." Yami said, folding his arms. The feather turned white. "Now, do you still want a massage or what?" Yami asked, smiling. Yugi threw the feather off somewhere and walked next to Yami. "Okay. Lie down here." Yami said. Yugi then laid down on the bed. "I might need you to take your shirt off.." Yami muttered.
"What? No!" Yugi shouted.
"I'm not going to do anything to you, remember? this is just so that the shirt wont get in the way." Yami said.
"Okay.." Yugi muttered as he took his shirt off. Yugi shuddered a bit as the cool night breeze blew from Yami's window.
"Okay. Now, just lie down on your belly so i can massage your back." Yami said, rubbing his hands together. Yugi then did what Yami told him. Yami began to massage Yugi's back.
"Wow.. it's so relaxing.." Yugi muttered as Yami massaged him.
"You like it?" Yami asked.
"Uh-huh. By the way, how come you can massage so well?" Yugi asked, closing his eyes.
"Well, when we were kids, when father gets sore backs, i often massage it for him and he really liked it." Yami said.
"Oh. Well, i think i should thank your father for that.. you're hitting the OW! man that part hurts the most!" Yugi exclaimed. After a couple more minutes of massages, Yugi asked Yami to stop. "Thanks.." Yugi said, lying on his back now. "Care to help me up?" Yugi asked, lifting his hand over to Yami.
"Sure." Yami said, pulling Yugi up. Yami accidentally pulled him too strongly and the two collided and fell to the floor, with Yugi landing in Yami's chest. Yugi lifted his head to gaze at Yami's crimson red eyes. The two then felt something between them. Without thinking, the two inched their faces closer, closer.. until they were centimeters apart. Just when they were about to kiss, the door opened.
"YUGI!" Heba, Ryou, Malik, Tea, Joey, Tristan and Seto shouted.
"YAMI!" Marik and Bakura shouted, as they all barged in the room.
"WHAT?" Yugi and Yami snapped.
"Yugi! What are you doing on top of him!" Heba shouted, and taking a quick glance at Yugi, "and why are you half naked?" Heba asked.
"Finally! You got some goodies from Yugi!" Marik said, walking over the two.
"Yugi! How could you?" Tea asked, helping Yugi up.
"First, before you jump to conclusions, nothing happened between me and Yami. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Ka-peesh?" Yugi said.
"Nothing?" Marik asked.
"Nothing." Yami answered.
"But, why is Yugi half-naked? surely you just didn't decide to lie on the floor, on top of each other, while half-naked?" Bakura asked. Yugi gave an exasperated sigh.
"Yami was massaging me. My back was hurting, Yami offered, and so he did. Nothing happened." Yugi said, sitting down the bed.
"But Yugi, you don't know if that monster would have done to you!" Heba said, sitting next to Yugi.
"Hey!" Yami shouted.
"Well, it's true. You're a demon." Heba shot back.
"Yes, but demons and monsters are totally different!" Yami shouted.
"Whatever." Heba said.
"Heba, Yami wouldn't have done anything to me. He promised me." Yugi said.
"Pssh. With a pinky swear, am i correct?" Tristan asked.
"No. Using a truth feather." Yugi said, picking the discarded feather from the ground.
"Oh." Tristan said.
"Now, if you're done interrogating us, i think it's best if you go." Yami said, pushing the group out of the door. But before they got out, a huge explosion was heard and the whole castle shook. Everybody hugged the closest person next to them.
Loud screams soon filled the air.
"What was that?" Tea shouted.
"I don't know!" Joey shouted. More screams soon filled the air. Then, everything clicked together.
"The ballroom!" They all shouted as they flew towards the room.
"I'm glad you picked me, Serenity." Duke said, twirling Serenity around.
"Yeah. I just feel kind of bad when i told Tristan that i picked you." Serenity said, twirling back to Duke's arm. Yue and Nakuru then appeared next to them.
"Ah. It seems little Serenity has finally picked. You're lucky, Duke." Nakuru said, clapping her hands.
"Thanks, your majesty." Duke said, bowing down.
"Oh. No need for that." Nakuru said, ruffling Duke's hair.
"Duke, Serenity, have you seen any of our sons or their cousins by the way?" Yue asked.
"No sir. We hadn't seen them since they entered the room earlier." Duke replied.
"Oh. Okay then. Do tell me if you see them. I have some matter i need to talk to them." Yue said, walking next to Inuyasha.
"Any news, brother?" Inuyasha asked.
"/sigh/ No." Yue said.
"Well, they could just be roaming around the palace." Kagome said, appearing next to Inuyasha. "I remember when Inuyasha brought me to my first ball, i was so nervous i had to leave the room. So, i bet they just did the same thing. I know Yugi will." Kagome said, smiling at Yue and Nakuru.
"Yeah maybe you're right. Now let's-" Yue said before a huge explosion blasted the huge doors open. Nakuru was pushed into Yue by the impact as Kagome was pushed into Inuyasha.
"What happened?" Inuyasha shouted. The explosion caused a great deal of smoke to fill the room, so he could barely see anyone. A dark chuckle then filled the room. Yue and Inuyasha instantly recognized the voice.
"Impossible.." Yue said, standing up.
"It can't be.." Inuyasha said, pulling Kagome up.
"But, we did.." Yue said, helping Nakuru up.
"I know, but.." Inuyasha said. The smoke then began to clear out, the same time, the chuckling was growing more and more louder. When the smoke finally cleared out, everybody gasped.
Sesshoumaru was standing at where the humongous doors used to stand. He had a devilish smirk on his face.
"Knock knock." Sesshoumaru said, before most of the guests began to scream as they ran off the room. All that was left in the room were Yue, Nakuru, Inuyasha, Kagome, Serenity and Duke. And Sesshoumaru of course.
"Sesshoumaru!" Yue and Inuyasha hissed. Sesshoumaru's smirk widened.
"Now, is that anyway to greet your brother who you locked up for ten years?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Normally, no. But you, we can make an exception." Yue said, clenching his fists.
"I'm hurt, you know that, Yue? But, maybe you don't. Because none of you suffered the pain i felt." Sesshoumaru said, wiping some pebble from his cloak.
"Well, you deserved all of it." Inuyasha snarled.
"Maybe i do, but that is not the point for why i am here." Sesshoumaru said, looking around. "Well now, where are my two favorite nephews?" Everyone in the room gasped. Sesshoumaru was looking for Heba and Yugi!
"They're not here. They're at the human world!" Nakuru shouted. Sesshoumaru smirked.
"Oh? is that so? then how come i saw them here earlier? Could it be that the amateur princes have enough power to open portals by themselves?" Sesshoumaru faked gasped.
"You were already here?" Nakuru gasped. How long has Sesshoumaru been here? and how come they never noticed him!
"Yes, i was, my queen." Sesshoumaru said, smirking. "Now, where are Yugi and Heba? i have a.. gift for them." Sesshoumaru said. A small purple box appeared in his hand.
"You'll never find them!" Yue shouted. Yugi and the others then appeared in the doorway.
"Daddy!" Heba and Yugi shouted. Yue mentally groaned. As Yugi and Heba passed by, Sesshoumaru caught them and held them. Both of them tried to squirm from Sesshoumaru's grasp, but he wouldn't budge. "Let us go!" Yugi and Heba shouted.
"No." Sesshoumaru said in their ears.
"Sesshoumaru! Let my kids go!" Yue shouted. Then, Seto, Mokuba and Noah entered the room.
"Dad?" They all asked out loud. "What are you doing here?"
Okay, time for a break, don't you think?
Now, bookmark this for now, so you can read the next part for later.
But, oh? you still want to read?
To know what happens next?
Well then, i mustn't keep you waiting!
Here you go!
Read on!
Have fun~!
"Dad?" Seto, Mokuba and Noah shouted. "What are you doing here?" They asked out loud.
"Oh, hi sons." Sesshoumaru said, looking over them.
"Dad?" Yugi asked.
"Sons?" Heba asked.
"Who are you?" Yugi and Heba shouted. Sesshoumaru shuffled around, trying to make himself comfortable before he began to speak.
"Now, is that any way to talk to your uncle? I suspected more than this coming from you two." Sesshoumaru said sarcastically.
"Uncle? But, we thought our only uncle is Uncle Inuyasha. Who are you?" Heba asked, still squirming at Sesshoumaru's grasp.
"Well, have you ever thought of who your cousins, Seto, Mokuba and Noah's father is?" Sesshoumaru asked the two.
"Yeah.." The two muttered.
"Well I'm their father." Sesshoumaru replied.
"Their father?" The two shouted again.
"Are you done now?" Seto asked, irritated. Yugi and Heba nodded. "Okay. Dad, what are you doing here? i thought you were gone.." Seto asked. Sesshoumaru smiled, but his expression-less face returned.
"Well, son, your beloved uncles, trapped me in the shadow realm ten years ago before Mokuba and Noah were born." Sesshoumaru explained. All eyes turned on Yue and Inuyasha.
"Why?" Seto asked.
"Because, son, they were jealous of me and the power i posses." Sesshoumaru said, looking at the two.
"That was never the reason! You know the real reason why we had to lock you up ten years ago!" Yue shouted.
"And what is that?" Sesshoumaru asked, grinning.
"We had to lock you up because you were going to kill Heba and Yugi!" Inuyasha shouted. Yugi and Heba's eyes widened. Their own uncle was going to kill them? !
"Why, i guess you're right! Wonderful!" Sesshoumaru said. He almost wanted to clap, but that would let the two escape.
"But what we don't get is, how did you escape? We remember we locked you up along with the three demon spirits in the shadow realm?" Yue asked.
"Funny you should ask. Though, i think Atem can answer that for you. Why don't you ask him?" Sesshoumaru said.
"Where is Atem anyway, Yami?" Tea whispered at Yami.
"He's with father. In their room. In the west wing." Yami whispered softly to the group.
"No need for the children to go. I'll just call him for you, eh?" Sesshoumaru said. A second later, Atem popped into the room along with Aknamkanon. Aknamkanon and Atem both quickly realized the situation.
"What is the meaning of this?" Aknamkanon shouted, as he walked closer to Yue and the others.
"Aknamkanon, meet our brother." Inuyasha said, gritting his teeth.
"Your brother? The one you locked away in the shadow realm? but how come he's here?" Aknamkanon asked.
"We were wondering the same thing." Yue said. Yugi and Heba now have stopped struggling but were still squirming every time Sesshoumaru's grasp hurt them.
"Why don't you ask Atem? He surely knows the answer. Just ask him, how did he escape at the shadow realm?" Sesshoumaru asked, grinning.
"Atem? what did you do to escape the shadow realm?" Aknamkanon asked.
"I.. gave Armityle this stone.." Atem muttered softly. Yue and Inuyasha hissed.
"Was it, by any chance, star shaped?" Yue asked.
"Yes.." Atem replied.
"And did it, have weird markings?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes. How do you know?" Atem asked.
"Before i answer that, answer this. Was it, by any chance, in the bottom of a mountain with lots of shadow creatures guarding it? Like, i don't know, The Five Headed Dragon?" Yue asked.
"Yes. How do you know this?" Atem asked again.
"Because, the stone you gave to Armityle, just so happened to be the only key to break their spell of banishment. It was also the key to release our brother." Yue said, staring at Sesshoumaru.
"Oh.." Atem muttered, realizing the mistake he had just done.
"Well, i have to hand it to you kid, you're the only person who succeeded in that mission. Also, remember what Armityle said before you left?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Yes. They said, they gave me a gift. Though, i don't know of it yet.." Atem replied.
"Well then, you're learning now." Sesshoumaru said, letting go of Yugi and Heba, who dashed towards Yue.
"What do you- ah!" Atem said, as two bat-like wings protruded from his back. His nails grew in size and his hair changed into pure black. His crimson eyes turned pure black too.
"What's happening to him?" Tea shouted, watching Atem's transformation.
"I would like you to meet, your doom." Sesshoumaru said. Atem then released a deafening inhuman roar.
"Jaden, you felt that?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah. I wonder what that is." Jaden said, turning on his side. The door then opened to reveal Chazz himself.
"Get out of bed you idiots!" Chazz shouted, pulling the two from their beds.
"What are you doing here, Chazz?" Jaden asked, annoyed.
"Didn't you feel that? There's something going on in the shadow realm! We have to go and check it out!" Chazz shouted.
"Keep it down, nimrod! Do you want the whole castle to hear you?" Jesse snapped.
"Whatever. We have to go, now! You know, we still have an obligation to Sartorius. Our sole duty is to him, and him only." Chazz whispered.
"I know, i know. Don't give me that speech again. I'm going now." Jaden said, brushing his hair. "Is Aster and Atticus ready yet?" Jaden asked.
"Yes. Now, come on! Jesse, you too!" Chazz hissed. Jesse sighed but stood up too.
"Well, this better be good." Jesse said, walking towards Atticus and Aster. "ready?" Jesse asked.
"Yep. Jaden, open the portal, please." Aster said.
"With pleasure." Jaden said, opening a portal to the shadow realm.
"What did you do to my brother?" Yami asked, lifting Sesshoumaru from the ground.
"Why don't you ask him yourself? Oh Atem! I think your brother needs a demonstration of what you can do." Sesshoumaru said, prying himself from Yami's grasp.
"Yes, Master." Atem said. He then lunged towards Yami, who dodged. Atem then lunged once more, this time, hitting Yami in the chest.
"Yami!" Yugi shouted, almost running towards him, but Ryou stopped him. Sesshoumaru then turned his attention to Yue and Inuyasha.
"Sesshoumaru, you know that you can never have the crown, so why are you doing this?" Yue asked.
"Oh, i know. But, my sons are still applicable for the crown. That's why." Sesshoumaru said, producing dark balls in his hands, which he threw at Yue and Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru then produced more energy balls as he lunged for the two.
"Yugi, Heba, all of you, run!" Nakuru shouted to them.
"But, mom!" Heba said.
"But nothing. Heba, son, you have to get out of here. All of you, yes, even you three, Seto, Mokuba and Noah. You all have to hide in a safe place until the danger is gone. I'll miss you." Nakuru said, kissing Heba and Yugi on their heads. Tears were beginning to form in her eyes. They were too. They knew that they have to separate and that Nakuru and the others wont survive the fight. Kagome then produced a bow and a couple of arrows and began shooting at Sesshoumaru.
"We'll miss you too, mom." Yugi and Heba said as they started to walk on the sidelines. Sesshoumaru must have noticed this, because he stopped Atem.
"Atem! Make sure they don't escape. Don't hurt them.. much." Sesshoumaru said, dodging an attack from Yue.
"Got it, Master." Atem said, he then left Yami and lunged towards Yugi and the others. Yugi yelped when he came face-to-face with Atem. Atem then lifted Yugi up when Yami tackled him to the ground, knocking Yugi in the process.
"Yugi!" Heba and the others shouted as they ran towards the now-unconscious Yugi.
"What happened to him?" Tea asked, spotting blood coming from Yugi's head.
"He must've knocked his head on something! We have to do something quick! or else.." Heba didn't finish his sentence.
"Oh no." Tea said.
"What?" Ryou asked.
"The baby." Tea replied in a soft whisper. All of them (excluding the ones fighting) stopped. Everyone then looked at the unconscious Yugi.
"Look!" Serenity said, noticing a gash on Yugi's side.
"Oh no. Yugi's quickly losing blood, from his head and his gash. Quick, we need to do something! anything!" Tea shouted, laying Yugi down on the floor as gentle as she could.
"What can we do? none of us know anything about healing nor we studied about this.. wait! i know!" Joey said, standing up.
"What is it, puppy?" Seto asked. Mokuba, Noah, along with Seto, suddenly felt a huge pain come from their backs. "AH!" Seto exclaimed, dropping on the floor like Mokuba and Noah.
"Seto! Mokuba! Noah! what's wrong?" Duke, Tristan and Malik asked.
"Our back.. it hurts.. unngh!" Seto said, writhing in pain. Mokuba and Noah writhed in pain too. In a corner of the almost destroyed room, they saw Inuyasha fall from the fight.
"Dad!" Ryou and Malik shouted, when suddenly, Seto lunged towards them both. "What do you think you're doing? !" The two shouted.
"Saving you, that's what." Seto said, pulling the two back to where the group was. Ryou and Malik noticed that Atem and Yami were still fighting.
"That's a great idea Joey!" Tea said, after she listened to what Joey said.
"What's a great idea?" Seto asked.
"Heba, you have silver wings, right?" Tea asked.
"Yeah, i guess so. But, they're sometimes just plain white. Why?" Heba asked.
"Well, Joey and I think, that since you and Yugi seem to have the same amount of power, you can heal Yugi." Tea explained.
"Me? why? how?" Heba asked.
"I don't know. But, we think you just have to focus your energy at Yugi." Tea said, pulling Heba down.
"You sure?" Heba asked.
"Yes. Now, go and let your wings out and then just channel your energy at Yugi. Quick, he hasn't has much time left.." Tea said, wiping a tear from her eyes.
"Okay." Heba said, producing his pure-white wings from his back. He then placed his hands on Yugi's forehead and the other on the gash. 'Please let this work..' Heba thought as he focused his energy on Yugi's body.
Sesshoumaru dodged as Kagome shot another arrow. "Ha! Missed!" He shouted at Kagome. He then saw that Nakuru was producing her infamous Ruby crystals along with Yue's sapphire crystals. 'So typical of them.' Sesshoumaru thought as he flew back. He then produced his own set of dark crystals. As Yue and Nakuru shot their crystals, Sesshoumaru countered them with his.
"Tsk! He copied us!" Nakuru shouted, dodging the crystals.
"Typical of you, Sesshoumaru!" Yue shouted. He then produced more energy crystals and kept directing them at Sesshoumaru while Nakuru did the same.
"Is that all? I'm just getting warmed up." Sesshoumaru said, producing dark orbs and aimed at Nakuru.
"AH!" Nakuru shouted as she fell down on Kagome.
"Nakuru!" Yue shouted, instantly turning his back on Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru took this chance and produced shards which hit Yue straight in the heart. Yue then fell to the ground, his heart bleeding.
"Is that all? really? i expected more from you, brother." Sesshoumaru said, turning Yue's body towards him so he can see Yue's face. "Goodbye, Brother." Sesshoumaru said, producing a sword and thrusting it in Yue's chest.
"It's not working! Yugi's still bleeding!" Heba shouted, tears falling from from his eyes. 'I'm sorry Yugi.. i couldn't save you..'
In the far corner of Heba's mind, he could feel a small amount of energy that could activate his full power, but it seemed he couldn't tap into it, no matter how much he tried.
"Nakuru!" Heba heard his father shout.
"Mom?" Heba said, looking behind him to see his father struck with his uncle's attacks. "DAD!" Heba shouted. Then, in an instant, he felt as if he had a sudden surge of power. 'Is this.. my full power?' Heba asked himself. He saw that his pure white wings were beginning to transform into silvery feathers.
"Heba!" Serenity shouted, pointing at Heba. Sesshoumaru averted his gaze from Yue and looked at the now, shining Heba.
'So, I guess the rumors are true. My nephews contain the power of gold and silver. The power of one, eh?' Sesshoumaru thought as he watched Heba glow more and more until it was nearly eye-blinding. Sesshoumaru saw that Atem has stopped fighting and his body was writhing. 'What? it seems i lost control of Atem! No! It's probably the work of my annoying nephew!' Sesshoumaru thought.
"You killed my father!" Heba screamed in anger. Heba's normal hair turned into silvery white along with his purple eyes which turned into silver orbs. Heba then lunged after Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru thought that Heba was less stronger than him, so he didn't bother to dodge Heba, which proved to be a wrong move as Heba hit him like a pack of angry bulls.
"Ungh!" Sesshoumaru exclaimed as he regained his composure.
"Sorry Seto, Mokuba and Noah, i have to kill your father." Heba said, emotionless.
"You three! Help me!" Sesshoumaru shouted at his sons, but none of them budged. "What are you three standing around for? Attack!" Sesshoumaru shouted, but none of them attacked.
"It's over, uncle." Heba said, producing a ball of Air and Water in his left and right hands respectively. The orbs of wind and water.
"No!" Sesshoumaru shouted as Heba threw the orbs at him. His body then, like glass, shattered into a million pieces. Heba then turned to where Yue was lying at, placed his hand in Yue's forehead and concentrated. Yue's body began to glow silvery until it died down. Yue came back to life, sputtering blood. Heba then turned and faced Yugi.
"Yugi.." Heba muttered as he watched his brother bleed. He waved a hand over his injuries and in an instant, they recovered and healed. Heba then walked over the writhing Atem, placed his hand on his head, and Atem instantly reverted to his normal demonic form. After all of this, Heba stayed still and collapsed on the ground.
"Heba!" They all shouted as they ran over Heba. Heba's silvery hair reverted back along with his purple eyes.
"What happened? I blacked out there for a second.." Heba said, clutching on his head as dizziness overwhelmed him.
"You just saved us all.." Tea said, hugging Heba. The group then hugged Heba. As they were hugging, they heard a moan coming from Yugi.
"Yugi!" Heba shouted, crawling over to Yugi, who was now regaining composure. "Yugi, can you hear me?" Heba asked, lifting Yugi's head and resting it on his lap.
"He..ba.." Yugi muttered weakly.
"What? Does anything hurt on you?" Heba asked, suddenly worried again.
"No.." Yugi muttered weakly.
"Well then what? do you have to puke?" Heba asked.
"No. I just want to say.." Yugi muttered.
"What?" Heba asked.
"Worst Birthday Ever." Yugi said, closing his eyes.
