Prince of the Light
By Kirin Li

I don't wanna say it again. . .

Kirin: Well, whadda ya know? Another chapter!! In a recent review I got a, well, complaint. This story I thought was actually moving fast. Usually awakenings wouldn't be untin like chapter 4 or above, but in this story it starts at chapter 3. People, just be glad I decided to write this! Plus, stories are usually better if they come out slower, that way you don't confuse the reader, ne?

Yami: Right.

Jounouchi: HEY!!! When're ya gonna get back to us??

Kirin: Later, geez. I gotta get the more important stuff out first.

Jounouchi: WE'RE NOT IMPORTANT??

Kirin: No, not really. You're just the guardians.

Jounouchi:. . .**grumbles**

Chapter 5- Awakening Yugi
* * *

"Are you okay now, Yumi?" Haruka asked. Yumi nodded and stood. "I-I'm going to tuck Yuki in." she said, walking to Yuki's bedroom. Yugi gave Yami and Haruka a look. "What do you mean by you have to 'awaken' me first?" he asked, suspicious for some reason. "Let's wait for Yumi to come back." Haruka said. With help from Yami, she cleared the table and did the dishes.
* * *

Yumi walked into Yuki's room and found him sitting on his bed, looking at a picture of himself with Yumi and Haruka. "Yuki?" Yumi said. Yuki looked up. "Mom!" he said. She smiled at him. "Yuki, get ready for bed, okay? You need to get some rest." she said. Yuki nodded his head and obediently got his pj's and walked into his little bathroom. He came out minutes later, all ready for bed. He climbed in and Yumi tucked the blankets around him. "Mom?" he questioned. "Hm?"
"What happened out there?"
"Nothing. I just kinda blacked out." she said. "Go to sleep. Haruka will be in later to give you a good night kiss, if you'd like." she said, then kisses his forhead. "That's okay, mom. She doesn't have to." Yumi smiled at Yuki. "Good night." she said. "Good night, mom." he replied, closing his eyes.
* * *

Yumi walked into the living room and found the Haruka sitting on the couch and the other two in some chairs. She walked over to the couch and sat down next to Haruka. "How do we awaken Yugi?" Yami asked. Yumi folded her hands, resting her elbows on her knees, and rested her chin on her hands. She stared at the table in thought. "I know." she said, finally.

"We awaken him the same way Luna awakened the other scouts for the second time." she said. "How'd she do that?" Yugi asked. Yumi sighed. "Yugi, come here. Stand in front of me." she instructed. Yugi did so. She held his hands in hers and looked up into his eyes. "Close your eyes, Yugi." he closed his eyes. "Now relax. It's not good to tense yourself." she said. Yugi breathed out and relaxed.

Yumi then, too, closed her eyes. A symbol began to glow on her forhead. It was a crescent moon, the symbol of the people of the moon kingdom. A gold light came from the crescent moon and shot up to Yugi's forhead. On him, a large circle with a line rising up from it, a horizantal line went through the vertical one and two smaller lines were at the end of those two. It formed the Uranus symbol. Haruka's eyes widened.

Memories flashed through Yugi's mind. Memories of his past. He saw his birth and how happy his sister, the Princess Uranus, had been when he was born. He saw the first time he met Yami, the Prince of the Moon, he saw the ball on the moon, and he saw his death, as well as the death of everyone he loved.

The light faded and he opened his eyes. The symbols on their forheads fadded away. Yumi opened and looked into Yugi's eyes. Tears began to form in his eyes and spilled out, over his cheeks. Yumi held Yugi as the tears fell.

"Yugi?" Yami asked. "Is he okay?" Yumi nodded. "The last thing he saw was our deaths." she said. Haruka picked up the phone and began to called all of the others. "No. Let's not tell them yet." Yumi said softly. Haruka sighed and placed the phone back down on the reciever.
* * *

Yugi had wrapped his arms around Yumi and his eyes were closed as he cried, soaking Yumi's clothes more, and he was now sitting on her lap. "I think you should sleep here tonight, it's getting late." Haruka said. Yami nodded. Yumi handed Yugi over to Yami and got up. "I'll got make a bed." she said. "I'll help you." and Haruka followed her to a guest room.
* * *

"Yugi's taking it harder then you did." Haruka said quietly. "He's always been very emotional when it comes to important things; whether it's loved ones or a duel." Yumi replied, her voice soft. They finished making the bed for their guests and Yumi straightened up, her hands holding her sides. "Yugi will feel better tomorrow." she said. Haruka watched as Yumi held her sides. She always did that whenever she was sad or worried. "Like you just said, Yugi will feel better tomorrow." Haruka said, trying to make Yumi feel better. Yumi smiled as Haruka's arms encircled her in a reassuring hug. "Thank you." she said. They walked out into the livingroom and Yami stood from his seat.

"He's falling asleep." he said. Yugi's arms were wrapped around Yami's neck and his legs around his waist. "The bed is ready, so you can take him in there." Yumi said. Yami nodded and walked into the room they had just left. Yumi sighed and sat down on the couch. She then stood up again. "I should call grandpa and tell him that Yugi and Yami are staying here tonight." she said to herself, aloud. She picked up the phone and dialed Yugi's home. "Hello?" a male voice asked. "Jii-chan, it's me."
"Is everything okay? You sound sad!" he observed.
* * *

From the other end, Yumi and Yugi's grandfather had a conserned look on his face for his granddaughter. "No, everything's okay, I'm just tired." she replied. "Okay, so how's my great grandson?" Jii-chan asked. (I think that's what Yugi calls him, I don't really know. And I thought it'd be better then calling him Papy.) "He's fine. I just sent him to bed a while ago. Jii-chan, I called to tell you that Yugi and Yami are going to stay the night here."
"But Yugi left his homework!"
"I'll send Haruka to get it. Yugi's just so tired and he pratically fell asleep, so Yami has taken him to a guestroom." Jii-chan sighed. "Alright, I'm glad you called. Now your mother won't bugg me about finding them." he said. Yumi laughed. "Good night, Jii-chan." she said. "Good night, little princess." he replied and hung up the phone.
* * *

Yumi's eyes were wide as the phone made the dial noise. She slowly placed the phone down on the reciever as Yami came out of the room. "Are you alright?" he asked. Yumi nodded slowly. "Jii-chan called me 'Little Princess'." she said. "Yeah, so." She turned to Yami. "He's never, in my entire life, called me 'princess'!" Yami still looked at her strangely. She let out a heavy sigh and waved it away. "I told him you two are staying the night." Yami nodded.

"So. . .You both needed to talk to me?" she said. Yami and Haruka nodded. "I'll go first." Yami said. They all sat down and Yami sighed. "While we were working today, on homework, Yugi said that he thought he heard someone talk to him. But we were the only ones in the room." Yumi nodded. "Did he tell you what he heard?"
"Hai. He heard some woman say that soon she would have her revenge. I'm guessing her revenge on him. I told Yugi it was nothing and we went back to work." he said. "A woman?" Yumi pondered it. 'A woman who wants revenge. . .on. . .Yugi?' she thought.

"I don't know about that. I'll have to think a while." she turned to Haruka. "What about you?" Haruka looked at them both. "Well, I was going to see if I could awaken you, but you did it yourself. I needed to tell you this. I was watching a battle the sailor scouts had today, against an energy sucking monster called Pala Pala. If she had been aloud to, she would have destroyed the scouts. What I'm saying is, the new enemy is too strong for the normal senshi, myself and the others. Mercury's attack didn't even fase Pala Pala, and neither did Sailor Moon's, and she's the strongest of the senshi." Yami nodded. "So what you're saying is-" Yumi finished his sentence for him, "The Lost Senshi have to be awakened, if we're going to protect the world and the universe." Haruka nodded.

"The only way to do that is if the Princess summons and awakens them." Yami said. "Princess Serenity?" Haruka asked. Yami shook his head. "No. The first princess. Princess Yumi Serenity."
"But, where is Princess Yumi Serenity?" Haruka asked. Yumi sighed. "Princess Yumi Serenity. . .She is. . .I can find her." she said, giving Yami a little look. Yami stood up, stretching his legs out. "Awakening the Lost Senshi," he began, "is not an easy task for the princess." he said. "Why not?" Haruka asked. "There is a sort of. . . .ritual. . . .that must be preformed to awaken all of the Lost Senshi." He explained. "A prayer must be said to the goddess of the Univers, over and over again, until all of the Lost Senshi are summoned to her. Then the princess awakens them, I'm not sure how, though." he said.

"Where does it have to be preformed?" Yumi asked. "It must be preformed in the ruins of the Silver Millenium; in the Moon Shrine."
