Author's Note : If you hadn't figured it out yet, this story's ending! waah! Yes we know it's sad. Though, i'm already thinking of maybe making a sequel. Though, no assurances there, yet. So, for now, enjoy!
This chapter's just the aftermath. The next chapters are focused about Heba and Atem. I do have to resolve their relationship!
Disclaimer : Thirty five chapters and i'm still doing this? I DON'T OWN YGO!
Isis rushed as soon as the magical barrier at her room dissipated. She was beginning to leave when she was suddenly pushed back by her door. She tried to open the windows, but they were locked too. She tried on using her full magic, but to no use. She heard a couple of explosions, probably coming from the throne room, she was real anxious to leave. So, you could imagine the relief she felt when the barrier disappeared.
"Isis! Did you feel that?" Mahad asked, running towards her same destination.
"I did, Mahad. And i feel like a huge fight just happened. We might be too late." Isis said, picking up her pace. When the two arrived, they were surprised as they saw the two humongous doors to the throne room had been blasted open. She could only imagine how scary it must have been if she was there. The scene in the throne room was scarier. Isis saw that the decorations had been thrashed, there was a lot of blood on the floor, the walls were ruined, but that was not all.
"Isis!" Heba shouted, noticing the priestess. Isis immediately rushed towards Heba. "Isis, help us, please. I healed some of Yugi's injuries, but i don't know about the baby!" Heba was scared now. All the confidence and happiness he felt earlier when Yugi spoke was gone and replaced by sadness and fear.
"I'll do what i can. Tea, could you please go to the healing chambers and make sure the beds are ready?" Isis asked. Tea nodded and rushed off along with Tristan. "What happened, Prince Heba?" Isis asked.
"We were attacked by my uncle Sesshoumaru. We were totally caught off guard, along with him controlling Atem.." Heba broke into sobs. Isis couldn't help but to feel pity and sorrow for the young boy. Heba was just 16, and he already has seen some of the dangers of the world. "And.. I-i.. k-killed him.." Heba said, in between his cries.
"You killed him?" Isis asked, surprised. Heba seemed to be the last person to kill anyone. Though, she knew he must have his reasons for it. Heba cried louder as she asked the question. "I'm sorry for bringing it up. Now, come on, I have to make sure Prince Yugi's baby survives." Isis said, lifting Heba's head up.
"Mahad!" Nakuru shouted, noticing Mahad arrive along with Isis.
"My queen! What happened here? Oh! My King!" Mahad said, kneeling next to Yue.
"Mahad.. is Heba.. Yugi.. are they safe?" Yue asked. Mahad looked over to where Yugi and Heba were and nodded.
"They are, sire. Priestess Isis is going to be taking care of the two. I think she's going to make sure they acquired no injuries." Mahad replied. "But, what happened here, sire?" Mahad asked.
"We were attacked by my brother, Sesshoumaru." Mahad tensed at hearing Sesshoumaru's name.
"Your brother? he returned? but how? I was there when you sealed him. There was no possible way anyone could've reached the key!" Mahad shouted.
"Apparently, but no. Prince Yami's brother, Prince Atem found the key and released him unknowingly. Ugh.." Yue grunted as he turned to his side. Inuyasha and Kagome walked towards the three.
"Brother, where is he?" Inuyasha asked, using his sword as a cane to help him stand up. Kagome was helping him stand.
"He is gone. I believe that Heba killed him." Yue replied with a grunt.
"Sire, you are hurt. Let me help you so you can go to Priestess Isis' healing chambers." Mahad said, helping the Yue up. Soon, all of them, even Yami and Atem, left for Isis' chambers.
"Gah! I can't keep up with all of this!" Isis shouted. Mahad touched her shoulder and she calmed down.
"Calm down Isis. I'll go and help you." Mahad said, walking over Yue. "Here sire, some painkillers." Mahad said, handing Yue a couple of pills. As Mahad waited for the effects of the pills to take effect, he walked over the others. "I am sorry, but all of you have to wait outside the healing chambers." Before they could protest, Mahad stopped them. "I know you want to know what happened, but, It's King Yue's orders. Goodbye now." Mahad said, closing the doors, leaving him, Isis, Yue, Yami and Atem alone in the room.
"What do we do now?" Joey asked, lying down Heba's bed. Tristan sat down next to them as with the others.
"I don't know. Maybe we should sleep now." Serenity said, grabbing a pillow and putting it in her head.
"You guys sleep. I can stay awake." Heba said, staring at the door, as if expecting to see Yugi burst in the room right now. But he didn't come.
"Heba, you should be the one to rest. You're probably exhausted." Tea said, pushing Joey and Tristan off the bed. "Here." She said, handing Heba a silk pillow.
"Thanks. But, i feel like i can't go to sleep. Even though i know i should be drowsy right now." Heba said.
"Oh. Okay then. Guys, we should leave. You know, give Heba some space." Tea said, standing up, but Heba held onto her hand. "What is it, Heba?" Tea asked.
"can you guys.. sleep here for tonight? I don't think i can go to sleep alone.." Heba said, a bit ashamed at his fear of the dark. Tea smiled at him kindly.
"Of course. I'll just go and get some sleeping bags so we can sleep here, okay?" Tea said. Heba nodded to her and Tea left.
"I think i'll go and help her. Come on guys." Duke said, waking Joey and Tristan up.
"Huh? wuzzah.." Joey muttered.
"We're going to help Tea get some sleeping bags and maybe some mattresses. Now, get off your butts and let's go help her!" Duke shouted. Tristan and Joey then shot up, wide awake.
"I'll go help you." Serenity said, standing up. "Heba, are you okay with being alone for a few minutes while we fetch the beds?" Serenity asked.
"I'll be fine." Heba said, smiling at her. As the group left, they didn't notice that Rebecca was outside, eavesdropping to them.
'What a perfect opportunity..' Rebecca thought, grinning evilly.
Isis walked over Yugi's bed. She wasn't sure how she was going to tell him this, but she had to do it sooner or later. She just wished she didn't have to say it. Yugi lifted his gaze as he saw Isis walk up to him.
"Isis.. is my baby.. okay?" Yugi asked. Isis hesitated for a second, which of course, scared Yugi. "Isis? what's wrong?" Yugi asked. Again, Isis hesitated for a minute before finally saying it.
Yugi was literally broken into tears after what Isis just said.
"I'm sorry Yugi.." Isis said, hugging Yugi to calm him down.
"Why me?" Yugi asked her, tears falling to his face.
"I'm sorry.." Isis muttered, as she didn't have an answer to Yugi's question. All throughout the night, Isis stayed by Yugi's side until he went to sleep. 'I'm really sorry Yugi..'
"Hi Heba." Rebecca purred as she entered the room. Heba looked up to see her and groaned.
"What are you doing here, Rebecca?" Heba hissed.
"Well, i thought you would like to.. release the tension you've built up." She said, in what she thought was seductive.
"Well i don't. Now, why don't you just go back to the harem? I know they'd rather like to have you." Heba hissed. Rebecca gasped at what Heba just said.
"How dare you!" Rebecca said, slapping Heba hard in the cheek. Before she could slap Heba again, a hand came from the behind and stopped her.
"You just signed your death sentence, bi(beep)!" Tristan swore as he pinned her down. She tried to squirm, but Tristan held her in place. Tea and the others soon returned and saw that Tristan was pinning Rebecca down.
"Tristan, what are you doing with her?" Tea asked, dropping the mattress she was holding on the ground.
"I was holding the wench down. She slapped Heba." Tristan said, continuing to restrain her.
"So what if i did?" Rebecca shrieked. "He called me a harem servant!" She shouted.
"So what? that's your day job, wasn't it?" Serenity said, placing the mattress she was carrying down next to Tea's.
"You little wench!" Rebecca shouted, suddenly springing up, prepared to claw out Serenity's face. Before she could harm her in anyway, Joey stepped up, and punched the living day lights out of Rebecca. Rebecca instantly was knocked out. Heba called out two guards to drag her to her room.
"Ew. I've got disgusting wench germs on my punching fist." Joey muttered as he went to the bathroom to clean his fist.
"Isis, are you sure about this?" Yugi asked frantically. He couldn't believe it.
"I am sorry, prince Yugi. But i tell no lie." Isis said, bowing down.
"I'm okay. But, are you sure? then, what about my-?"
"I don't know about them, though. Though i know i'm positive about it." Isis said, cutting Yugi off.
"Oh. Okay then.." Yugi said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I'll leave you now, my prince." Isis said, leaving a stunned Yugi all alone.
'You've got to be kidding me!' Yugi thought, looking out the window.
The next day, Heba was the one who woke up first. Heba's thoughts were immediately filled with Yugi.
'Could i see him now? I wonder if he's okay? What about the baby? I must go there now!' Heba thought as he tip-toed over a sleeping, drooling Joey. Joey muttered something about food as Heba passed around him. Heba sighed as he finally made it. Heba opened the door and sped through the healing chambers as fast as he could. When he entered the room, Isis was startled.
"Oh! Heba! What are you doing here so early?" Isis asked, putting her stethoscopes down.
"Where's Yugi? What happened to him? Is he okay?" Heba rapidly asked.
"Calm down, prince Heba. Breathe.. breathe. Okay? Now. Prince Yugi's in his room, resting. Like you should be. Though, i could ask him if he wants to see you. Hold on." Isis said, leaving Heba in the reception room. She then returned after a long minute. "He's ready to see you now." Isis said, smiling at Heba.
"Thanks!" Heba said, dashing through Yugi's room.
'Brothers.. pssh!' Isis thought as she watched Heba hug Yugi.
"Yugi, are you alright?" Heba asked as he broke free from the hug. "Is the baby alright? do you hurt anywhere?" Heba asked in rapid-fire succession.
"Calm down Heba. I'm alright. Honest! Though, about the baby.." Yugi said, his voice going fainter as he spoke.
"What about the baby? is the baby okay? is it sick? do you need a blood transfusion? Live Yugi, LIVE!" Heba shouted, shaking Yugi as he spoke.
"Heba, first, calm down. Second, about the baby.." Sadness returned to Yugi.
"What is it, Yugi? Tell me!" Heba shouted.
"The baby... the baby.." Yugi said, starting to cry out.
"Oh no. You lost the baby?" Heba asked.
"No.. i didn't lose the baby.." Yugi muttered weakly.
"Then what is it?" Heba asked.
"The baby's going to die." Yugi said, the tears he held onto were now rushing freely across his face.
"What?" Heba asked after he got over the shock.
"Heba, My baby's going to die!" Yugi said, crying as loud as he can.
Just so you guys know and understand the story better, at the last chapter, i'll put up a summary of events. Starting from the point of Yue's childhood up until the ending. You'll know the 'what ifs' too.
Like, what if Bakura didn't mess up at chapter 17! Would Yami and Yugi ever fell in love?
What if Atem never got the chance to escape the Shadow Realm?
What if Atem never was thrown in the shadow realm?
What would have happened if Atem, Mai and Yugi escaped from the search parties?
Ah, the wonders of the 'what ifs'
