The Witness and the Guardian Part 3
IceAngelDarkMoon
~~~~Thank you all so much for the reviews! I never expected that many! No flames even :) I've tried to write this chapter as fast as I could for all you people. I even changed the story a little for you guys. (No I would never let anyone hurt Yugi!!!!) But I got rid of some parts that were too cliché. Please tell me if you still like it, PLEASE. I can never get too many reviews: ;)~~~
Yami heard the bang but was too far up the stairs to see what was going on. He cursed silently that he had left Yugi's side for even a moment. He then crept silently down the stairs towards the front door, while staying as far back in the shadows as he could. As he reached the landing he could see Yugi standing directly in front of the busted door, and some ugly thing in a skirt was holding a gun to him. Then the shadow stepped into the house and they could see who it was. Both Yami and Yugi gasped. Both Yami and Yugi recognized the ugly thing to be Tea. She stood there dripping wet with her makeup running down her face like a waterfall. Yami still in the shadows started to prepare a spell that would knock her out, but he would let her talk first since it was obvious she loved Yugi. Yugi's face cleared into a calm expression and betrayed none of his thoughts to either Tea or Yami. He would not panic he told himself, Yami was safe somewhere, if only Yami wouldn't try anything too heroic. He knew to keep Tea talking as long as he could, that's what all the mystery channels said at least.
"Why are you here Tea?" Yugi asked in a relatively calm voice.
"I'm here to finish what my mother started." Tea shrieked and her voice broke. It was a truly hideous sound.
"Huh?" was Yugi's response. Yami was thinking something along the same lines as Yugi.
"Here let me spell it out for you! Your father left my mother for your mom. He moved away then married her. My mother then married the next bozo who dated her, and had me." She wrinkled her nose in disgust. "It took her three more years to find your father again, for some reason he was hiding from her, but she found him. She killed your mother and then gave your father the choice to live or die. He chose to leave you and die." blatant fury was written across her face.
"But that still doesn't answer why your here." Yugi asked trying to find a way to talk her out of what she was obviously going to try to do. Yami had finished preparing the spell, but he was waiting for the perfect time to use it. He couldn't risk letting the love of his life get shot, especially without knowing what Yami feels for him.
"Why, the only reason you're not dead now is that my mother wouldn't kill one of my friends. But you're the only one that can send her away, so I have to do something about it. She gave me a choice and tonight will be the decider." She cackled evilly like a witch. "She said either make you mine, or to let you join your dearly departed parents in the afterlife." Yugi was shocked; it was the same choice his dad had made many years before. But Yugi wasn't sure if he was brave enough to do the right thing, like his father had done. He knew that this choice would forever change his future, or even end his future.
With his face calm and serene, Yugi looked Tea squarely in the eyes and gave her his choice. "No, I cannot live a lie, my heart belongs to someone else, although that person has no idea. I just wish I had had the chance to tell them, before I die." His voice was calm but inside his heart was pounding in pain from not getting the chance to tell Yami. Tea's face was a sea of fury and the gun shook in her hands. Yami knew the time to act was just around the corner now.
"You'll die by those words!" She shrieked at Yugi. "But first he goes!" She had seen Yami inching out of the shadows towards her. A whole bunch of things all happened at one time. Yugi leapt at Tea to try and mess up her aim. Yami dove to the floor and threw the spell at Tea. And Tea pulled the trigger. What ensued can only be called mass chaos. *_* Yugi was pinning Tea with some unnatural strength, and removed the gun from her limp fingers. He then began to punch her and over all beat her up. It took him a little bit to realize she was already unconscious from Yami's spell. Yami was struggling on the floor near the wall. Yugi had tears of fear running down his cheeks as he ran to his dark's side. There was a pool of blood under Yami. The sight of it almost made Yugi gag, but he went to his loves side. Yami was still trying to get up.
"Oh Ra, Yami please hang on. I'm going to call an ambulance." Yugi said as tears streamed down his face. He could se that the blood was from near Yami's shoulder. Yami gave a tired smile and looked Yugi in the eye.
"It's not that bad, it only looks that way. Her bullet just grazed me, but I will need medical attention. But I have something to tell you after you make that call." Yami said while still looking at his other half. Yugi smiled at the thought that it wasn't so bad.
"Alright, I'll be right back. Don't move!" Yugi said the last part unnecessarily. Yami chuckled at his light. Within a minuet Yugi returned to the room. "They'll be here in a few minuets." Then to Yami's surprise he began to rip off his sleeves from his black t-shirt. He then reached gently to Yami's wounded arm and gently laid the sleeves on the cut. Then Yugi ripped a long strip off of the bottom of his shirt and used that to tie the makeshift bandage in place. Yami was surprised at how confident Yugi's hands were, it was like he knew what he was doing and could be trusted to do it right. Yami smiled because Yugi's shirt now showed off his stomach and arms. Yugi had a great body, with an unusual grace to it.
"Yami there is something I want to tell you." Yugi started and took a deep breath to continue. He was now cradling Yami in his arms. "When Tea was holding that gun to me, I realized that tomorrow is never guaranteed to us and we should never count on it being there. There is something I've wanted to tell you, but I as too scared to. I love you Yami. I think I always have." Yugi was going to say more about, that Yami didn't need to feel the same way, but Yami cut him off.
"There's been something I've wanted to tell you Yugi. I realized when that gun was pointed at you and then me that I can't live my life in fear of rejection. I love you too. I know I always have and always will." Yami smiled up at Yugi, who was still holding Yami. Yami realized then that that was the first time anyone had ever held him in any lifetime. He had held people but never been held himself. He decided he liked it, especially with Yugi holding him. Yugi had never held anyone before; he was use to being the weak one with others comforting him. He liked being the one in control and giving the comfort. There faces were slowly drifting together when Yami broke the silence.
"You look very cute in that shirt Yugi," Yami complimented while Yugi blushed madly.
"I've wanted you to say that so many times." Yugi said remembering.
"And I've wanted to say it just as many times." Yami answered. Then Yugi closed the distance between them and claimed Yami's lips. Yami was surprised he had seen a lot of firsts for his light today, but he quickly got over his surprise. Yami deepened the kiss passionately. They were still kissing when the police and ambulance workers came through the busted down door. The first attendant coughed loudly to get their attention. They broke the kiss and blushed madly.
The police put the still unconscious Tea in the back of the squad car. The attendants quickly loaded Yami onto the stretcher and placed him in the back of the ambulance.
"Sorry, only family adults allowed into the ambulance with the patients," ordered the attendant to Yugi as he tried to go with Yami.
"Where I go he goes," Yami commanded in his pharaoh voice. Then he added, "He is my only family, and he's 18 years old." With that Yugi climbed into the ambulance with Yami. The attendant just gave them a wired glance, but decided not to argue. "I think I'm going to have to take a rain check on that movie, Yugi." Yami said jokingly.
"I think we'll have a lifetime together to make it up." Yugi said quietly and leaned in to kiss Yami one more time before the attendants started working. Yami beamed at his light. It seemed that they were more like each other than they knew.

Please write, tell me how I did. I wrote this entire fic for the chance to make Yugi the one in control and the strong one. If you liked this you may like my Sleeping Issei story. Even if you don't know Please Save My Earth, the plot of my story doesn't include any of that, just best friends who find happiness. Cheap tricks to get people to read my stuff, I know, but it never hurts to try. *_*
