Kaiba: -Looks over at the silent and spacing Yugi- The poor kid hasn't spoken a word since the last chapter..
Kachie: I know, this loss is too much for even the toughest of people.
Yami K: Then why did you do it?! O.o
Kachie: . Calm yourself Yami K.. I don't think Yugi's in the mood for loud things..
Joey: Well.. I guess the upside is that the world's safe again..
Kaiba: -simply nods-
Kachie: Ok, lets get on with this. As mentioned, this chapter has a surprise ending, and a happy one, so stay with me here. o.o
Yu-Gi-Oh Second Chances
They had been sitting there for a half an hour at least. They couldn't get Yugi to budge or calm down. He had been crying non-stop since Yami had died. Kaiba wish there was something he could do for the poor boy but he thought of nothing useful. But he did know that they needed to get back to THEIR time and dimension.
Joey silently rested a hand on Yugi's shoulder as Kaiba continued to think of how to get Yugi to go with them. "Yugi.. We need to go.." Joey said softly. He knew his friend was suffering.. He had seen the same empty-ness in Yami when YUGI died. But if Yugi came back to life, who said Yami couldn't, right?
Yugi's sobs had turned to silent tears as he continued to hold Yami's empty form in his arms. Joey tilted his head and sighed. "Maybe Shadi can do something?" he said to Yugi. With this comment Yugi looked up to his blond friend with some hope in his eyes. "Do you think so?" he asked quietly. Joey smiled in reassurance and nodded. "I'm sure he can.." he answered.
Kaiba stood, as he felt a tingling sensation in his head. "Speaking of the devil.." he said quietly. Yugi looked up just in time to see Shadi, clad in his Egyptian robes, look down at Yugi and Yami's empty shell. "Yugi Motou, come with me.." he said with his weird accent.
Yugi blinked and looked to his friends. "Only if they come with.." he said quietly, his voice cracking a little. Shadi nodded once in turn. "Very well." he said as he used his powers to teleport them all to yet another dimension.
Yugi blinked as he looked around. What he saw was a dimly lit room that seemed to glow a light blue, and in this room sat four or five white cloaked figures. The wore some jewelry on their wrists that looked Egyptian and their white cloaks had finely decorated hoods. They pulled their hoods back to reveal Egyptian looking faces with onk earrings, gold neck rings (kinda like a choker), and gold head bands with the Millennium Eye in the center of them.
Kaiba blinked as Joey stuck close to his side. "Who are you?" Kaiba asked in a business tone. Yugi looked away from the scene to look back the lifeless Yami. He sighed as he slowly let him go and stood. "Please, bring him back.." he pleaded quietly.
The men, only described as Elders by Shadi looked in Yugi's direction. The center man nodded at the man to his right. "We have an interesting deal to make with you, AND Yami.." he said in a deep god like voice. Yugi turned to face them and grew confused. Does that mean that they'll bring his Yami back? He couldn't help but get filled with hope.
The center man waved his hand elegantly and suddenly Yami's shallow form appeared. It was nothing more then his spirit, but Yugi instantly ran over to him to cling to him. He didn't know what he was thinking actually. Yami blinked, confused as he looked around.
He then looked to the side to see Yugi, all tears running for him, to only go right through him. He felt a sharp pain in his heart.. well if he had one, as Yugi cried out in sorrow. Yami opened his mouth to speak but no words came out as Yugi fell to his knees, burying his face into his hands to cry in anguish.
Kaiba looked away in sadness as Joey slumped at his friend's pain. The man that had spoken before began to again. "I am sorry to cause you pain, but we cannot do anything without both of your cooperation.." He said lightly. Yami's ghostly figure turned to glare angrily at the Elders. He didn't want his Yugi to feel anymore pain then he obviously already was.
"We need you two to take permanent guardianship over your dimension and world." came the center man's even deeper voice. Yugi, still crying, ignored the Elder's words. Yami gave them a look, as if asking for a voice for this whole thing. It was kinda hard to negotiate with someone when you couldn't speak or touch anything solid.
As if the Elder read his mind he had voice. He blinked at his sudden ability to talk. First thing was first though. He needed to calm Yugi down. "Yugi, please don't cry.." Yami said softly as his ghostly self sat by Yugi.
The boy looked up at the Pharaoh, and sniffled. "Why? Why did you leave me?" he asked between sobs. Yugi's words made Yami ache in so many ways. He wanted to hold Yugi, cradle him, and tell him everything was gonna be ok, but couldn't. "Aibou.. Let's just listen to what they have to say.." he said lightly instead of answering Yugi's painful question.
Yugi sniffled and nodded as he stood and followed Yami to the center of the room where Kaiba and Joey also stood. "What is it that you want from us?" Yami then asked. The center Elder looked straight to the Pharaoh. His eyes were piercing and it seemed as if he was searching Yami's soul to see if he was truly as good as he seemed.
He then spoke up. "Yugi Motou, and the ancient Pharaoh Yami are chosen protectors for their dimension. But being that the lovers are both of the male origin cannot produce a full heir to their throne must take the task of becoming immortal to continue their watch over the planet." he stated.
Yugi blinked a little, wiping the tears from his eyes and face. "But.. what about our friends and my grandpa?" he asked lightly. He wasn't going to live an eternal life knowing that everyone he met would die eventually while he would continue to live. "I am sorry, Yugi Motou, but there is nothing we can do for them." he replied after a short pause.
Yami knew what Yugi was thinking and agreed with him. Though he would love to do nothing more then be with Yugi and watch over their dimension, he wouldn't take the pain that came with it. "No.. We wont become immortal.. I wont stand by watching my Yugi's heart break constantly after losing a loved one.. the only friends he ever knew and have." Yami spoke for him.
The Elder nodded once, in a graceful manner. "I understand this concept, but without a blood-lined protector, the Earth and it's dimension will crumble and cease to be." the Elder explained.
Yami fell silent, fresh out of ideas, while Yugi racked his brains. He didn't know what to say either.. He knew that in order to have a true heir to their duties, or as the Elder put it, throne, that the two chosen ones needed to produce the heir together.. but as the Elder mentioned, this was hard to do being male along with Yami.
The center Elder waved his hand once more in still graceful manner and suddenly Yami's soul flew back and into his body. Yugi grew concerned and confused at this sudden action and looked back to the finely robed man. "What are you doing?!" he demanded.
Kaiba and Joey ran over to Yami's body and Kaiba knelt down. With a close examination, Kaiba saw Yami breathing again. "He's alive!" Kaiba called back at Yugi. Yugi's heart skipped a beat or two as he turned and saw Yami stir and slowly awake to the world of the living. "We will give you twenty human years to figure this out. Once those twenty years are up, you will be back here to face us with an answer." the Elder said.
Before Yugi could say anything back their was a flash of bright light. But just as it appeared, it disappeared, and once Yugi realized it was over, he looked around noticing them in the park. It was night time by now. He then looked himself over, noticing the bruises had disappeared, and his chest no longer felt pain.
He blinked as he knew he was suddenly healed and better. He then looked behind himself to see Yami slowly sit up. He was still quite dazed, but he too was healed of his wounds. But before he could get to his feet Yugi rammed himself into Yami's back, clinging to him tightly.
Yami blinked and looked to Yugi who was giving out cries of pure happiness. "Yami, I thought I lost you!" he shouted out. Yami smiled a bit as he turned himself around to have Yugi's face buried in the crook of his neck, his hold on the Pharaoh tightening.
Yami sighed in relief as he too held Yugi closely. "Let's go home, Aibou.." he said softly. The group of four stood and went their separate ways. Yugi hadn't let go of Yami once, and Yami understood how he felt. He was only happy to oblige to Yugi's arms and held him close to himself as well.
So, in twenty years they would have to have an answer for these "Elders", Yami thought. Well.. hopefully by then they would have one. But for now, he was just gonna live his life with Yugi and their friends. He could finally relax with everyone else and not have to worry about any more freaks. Well for a while he hoped. He knew that there was always SOMEONE out there that wanted to rule the world or something.
Kachie: YAY!! IT'S FINISHED!
