"Daddy, help me.." Yuki whispered in Yugi's mind, waking him up instantly. Yugi's heart and pulse was racing, sweat trickled down from his forehead. He would have wiped it away, if it wasn't for his legs running faster than it has ever gone before, to a destination Yugi did not know. But as he ran and ran, he became more and more familiar with the scenery. The corridor to the right led to the west wing with the side kitchen. The left corridor led to a stairwell which could lead to an inside garden or up to the observation deck.

His legs ran towards the left and into the stairwell. Taking two steps at a time, Yugi wondered if he would fall.

"Brain fart." He muttered to himself as he stretched his wings and flew straight down. Landing gently to his feet, Yugi assessed the area. The indoor garden was in full view now. And so were Yuki, Atem, Heba and Yami. Yugi didn't understand the situation. His body's weakness suddenly rushed up to him. His legs threatened to give way.

But as he saw Heba lift up that sword, he was determined. Save his child. Save Yuki. Save him. The mantra was etched into his mind. But Yugi's legs felt like jelly. Time seemed to stop as Heba lowered the sword. Yugi ran, and ran he did. But he was too late. As the blade landed on Yuki's frail five year old body, Yugi saw red.

Yuki's blood splattered into his eyes. Yugi stood there, wide eyed as he watched his child's last moments on this life.

"Yuki.." Yugi silently mumbled. With a roar of anguished pain, he flew off with his child.


"For Yuki." Yugi whispered silently as he lifted the sword and charged. Heba deflected it easily. Yugi struggled, his pains were still there, even with his newfound strength. Heba grunted as he tried to fend off Yugi. He was weak, too. Yugi realized. But Heba didn't have a purpose, unlike Yugi. So with all the strength he could muster, Yugi pressed on and managed to push Heba to his back.

He could hear Atem shouting from somewhere nearby. The blood pounding in his ears made the sounds irrecognizable. Yugi was momentarily distracted as he heard Yami's soft whisper.

"No.." He had said to the wind.

This slight hesitation was all Heba needed to get up and push Yugi back.

Yugi grunted as he steadied himself. Tch. If Yami hadn't distracted him, he would have had finished Heba by now. He would have gotten his revenge for Yuki. And then what?

At that, Yugi paused in his tracks. All the anger and energy seemed to have ebbed away from him. What exactly would he do after he murdered his brother? Heba seemed to have noticed Yugi's confusion as he relaxed, only a bit so Yugi wouldn't catch him off-guard again if he was to attack.

"What would I do then?" The question filled Yugi's brain. He couldn't go to Yami, he betrayed him. Atem? Forget it. Heba.. he would be gone.

"Do I really want you gone?" Yugi silently mumbled to himself, but Heba heard it too.

"No, no you don't.." A voice said from behind him.

Yugi turned around to see Yami. Yugi's eyes watered. He stood there, like he did when they first met.

With a clank! Yugi's sword fell to the ground and so did he on Yami's chest. His tears were falling freely now as he clutched Yami's chest. He felt Yami's arms hold him steady, but didn't make any movement to hurt him, incapacitate him.

As Yugi cried into Yami's chest, Heba fell down his knees. Atem rushed over to see what was wrong, but Heba only shook his head slowly, a small, sad smile was on his face as he watched the two.

Atem picked up the sword, he hissed as the sword burnt him when he touched it initially. Where did Yugi get this? Atem touched the sword's hilt again, hissing as the pain, lesser this time, burnt him.

An image flickered into his mind. Baby Yuki, shrouded in darkness, shouting in anguish.

Well that was weird.. he thought.


After that fight, Yugi was hospitalized again. For trauma, the doctors have said. Yami never left his side, day in and out. Heba and Atem arranged for their father's deaths. The palace was busy, packed with activities around everywhere.

"I just.. can't believe it.." Yugi whispered into Yami as he hugged him for the tenth time that day, five hundredth that week.

"I know Yugi, I know. But it's the truth." Yami said as he hugged him closer.

"Joey's actually pregnant."


OKAYYY. I did the real ending, not the lame-late April Fool's one. Actually, that was supposed to be the ending, but seeing Charmeleon's review saddened me. Yes, I was lazy, bored and just flat-out rude to all those who wasted time for this.

SO, to all, and Charmeleon, I'm sorry for the lame ending. Here's a maybe-better one.

Toodals.
