Author's Note (don't skip this this time) - Okay, for any of you who have
read Family History by Anya, then let me confess that kinda used some of
her ideas and mixed it into mine. I e-mailed her today and asked her about
it, no response yet. Anyway, just to let you know that I idolize her for
her writing. Thank you, Anya, for inspiring this story.
Another disclaimer : I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Oh, and this chapter is, in my opinion, rated PG due to a death scene in the beginning. No "biggie".
Chapter 6 - One Last Vision
Just as they were about to leave, Yugi suddenly collapsed on his bed and started moaning in pain. Yami ran over to him and started to say, "What's the matter? Are you okay?" but Yugi didn't answer.
(Vision)
"Dad, take him! Don't let Crawford get him!" Miyako was screaming to her father-in-law to take her son and go as far as they could away from Yami Bakura.
"But what about you?" Sugoroku asked.
"Don't worry about me! I'd rather die than to see my son die. Go!" She gave her son to him and kissed him on the forehead and said, "Yugi, remember me. I love you." She turned to face Sugoroku and was about to say something when they heard a loud bang in the upper level of the house. Her son started to cry, startled by the noise but then quieted down when Sugoroku soothed him. Miyako turned again, tears streaming down her face. "He's dead. My husband.." she wept. She then looked up and said, "Go now, or Yugi will be next. Hurry!" She pushed them out the door and shut it with her back to it when suddenly Yami Bakura ran down the stairs towards her.
Miyako put on a slight smile. "You won't get my son. He's gone. You'll never find him now."
Yami Bakura laughed. "Hiroshi is finally dead. But I've tried again and again to let you come with me, but you've denied all. Now I will end your suffering. You shall rest in peace now instead of carrying on in this world without your husband."
"What about your desire? Don't you want me?"
"We will never be, but your son will never know you. Goodbye." He turned the gun on her and shot. She fell to the ground and said her last words.
"You will never have me. I will never be with you." She closed her eyes and breathed her last. 'Goodbye, Yugi. I will be watching over you.' she thought. She then silently slipped away.
Yami Bakura then bent down and kissed her on her lips. He then laughed maliciously and ran out the door to find the remaining of his enemy's family.Hiroshi and Miyako's son.

Meanwhile, Sugoroku was running as fast as he could with his grandson in his arms to Setto Kaiba's mansion. When he finally got there, he knocked on the door three times, which was their secret code. It was Setto who answered the door.
"Sugoroku, what's the matter?" he asked as he led him into the living room.
"Setto, I don't know how to tell you this.but I have to. Sit." They both sat in the chairs there and then Sugoroku told the tragic tale.
"Hiroshi is dead. By now, Miyako should be, too. Crawford has no mercy. He killed my grandson's parents. Now how am I going to be assured that I'll be able to raise him the way his parents wanted him to be?" he finished.
Setto buried his face into his hands and cried. "Why? Why Hiroshi? That Crawford has nothing! Because of him, I've lost my best friend and my wife will be devastated when she hears of this."
"Hears of what?" Anzu had entered the room. She sat down next to her husband. "What are you talking about?"
Setto took her hand and said, "Honey, let me assure you that I will not let Crawford get to any of us. But we were too late. He murdered Miyako and Hiroshi. Yugi was able to escape with Sugoroku."
Anzu was speechless and let her tears fall. She wiped them away with her lace handkerchief and walked over to Sugoroku and Yugi. She took the boy into her arms and silently rocked him to sleep, murmuring to him the words to the song she and Miyako had composed. "Your mom would have done the same." She faced Sugoroku. "As Miyako's best friend, I will help you take care of him. You two can stay here until you think you're ready. Don't worry. You'll be safe here. Their memory lives in him now. He is the living image of them. I'm sorry, I just blacked out." She gave Yugi back to his grandfather.
"Thank you. You are so kind. Hiroshi and Miyako would be pleased. They were lucky to have friends like you." Setto and Anzu nodded.
"No problem. Seto now has a playmate." Setto said. They all got up and walked upstairs to show where they would stay. Setto said, "I'm going to check on something. You go on ahead." The two nodded to him and proceeded up the spiral stairs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Yami Bakura was approaching the mansion when the guards hiding behind the trees got a hold of him. They handcuffed him and took him away. Before he was taken, he said, "Little Yugi. You have many years to enjoy yourself. When you are 15, beware. You will then understand more of what I'm going to do to you."
"You will do no such thing." Setto Kaiba revealed himself in front of him and kicked him. "How dare you! You will not ever lay a finger on Yugi Muto. I will see to that." He pointed his finger at him.
"You won't get away and neither will he." Yami Bakura said.
"Not unless I stop you first. Men, take him away for good." Setto screamed. The men took him away while Setto stalked away from them back into his mansion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Sugoroku sat in a chair next to the window while giving his grandson a bottle. He stared out the window, remembering his son and daughter-in-law's last words.
"Dad, Miyako, take Yugi and go! I'll hold him off. You still have a chance to get away. Whatever happens to me, I love you all and I'll always be in your hearts." Hiroshi's voice echoed in his head.
"Dad, take him! Don't let Crawford get him! Don't worry about me! I'd rather die than to see my son die. Go! Go now, or Yugi will be next. Hurry!" Miyako's voice spoke to him in his mind.
"Don't worry, Yugi. I have a way that no one will lay a finger on you unless they get through your guardian first." He stood up and walked over to the drawer. He pulled it open with his free hand (the other one was holding Yugi) and took a gold box out. He sat down at the circular table and emptied its contents. What looked like a million gold puzzle pieces fell out and instantly began to glow in Yugi's presence. Sugoroku noticed this and left the room with Yugi. The pieces stopped glowing, then started again when they came back.
"Hmmm. Maybe he was destined to have it. We'll see." Sugoroku said.
Just then, the door opened. It was the young Seto Kaiba who entered. Sugoroku gave a small smile to him and gestured for him to come in. Seto came in and saw the pieces on the table, which Sugoroku hastily swept back into its box.
"Seto, what brings you here?"
"Mom and Dad told me about what happened. I'm sorry. We'll do our best to help." young Seto said.
"Don't worry about us. We'll be fine." Sugoroku got up and walked towards the bed with Seto following him. He put down Yugi in the playpen that was beside the bed. Yugi stared at him for a minute, then directed his attention to Seto. He stared at him and laughed. Seto smiled and turned to face Sugoroku.
"He looks like Uncle Hiroshi. All over again." he said.
"I know." Sugoroku agreed. "I just hope his fate won't be the same as Hiroshi's."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------

Yugi suddenly snapped up and started to rub his eyes and breathe heavily.
"Yugi, what happened?" Yami urged him to tell.
"I saw my mother.she was murdered. She and my father died to save me and my grandpa. We escaped to Seto's family mansion. That's all I remember. Oh, and Grandpa had the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle at that time already."
"It's okay. It's okay." Yami said, massaging Yugi's back from the pain he caused himself from getting up so fast.
"I'll explain later. Let's go. Téa and Joey are waiting for us!"
