Nope, I still don't own Yugioh. I've decided to keep the story the way it is after noticing that you guys like it. Please enjoy the LONG last chapter though! ^_____^



Chapter 29: The Escape




As Takara charged up her attack, Yami's eyes slowly opened. Yami could hear the crackling of the energy wave, making him look up almost instantly. "DIE!" Takara screamed as she released the energy wave. Yami rolled, dodging the attack. "You should have just stayed where you were...," Takara grumbled. Yami began to radiate with black energy again as he transformed into his dark form. Once the transformation was complete, Yami charged at Takara as quick as his wings would take him. Takara yelped in pain as Yami pushed her full force into the wall. "Why have you returned demon!?" Yami asked furiously. Takara looked into his crimson eyes, "Because I haven't finished what I started!" Yami smirked, "You're still trying to destroy me? How pathetic can you get?" Takara pouted, "I will defeat you one way or another!"

Using all of her strength, Takara kicked Yami in the stomach, sending him across the room. Yami clutched at his abdomen as he shakily stood up again. Takara's breathing became labored as the last of her energy left her body. Yami began to chuckle, "So, I guess you had some strength in you after all..." Takara gave Yami a stare that could send a chill down anyone's spine, "We will meet again...when I have regained my strength and reached the next level!" Yami tried to strike her down, but she was too fast. Yami sighed as he morphed back to his human form. Noticing that the babies were crying on the floor, he walked up to them quickly, picking them up and placing them in their cribs. "Shh shh, it'll be all right..."

Suddenly, Yami could hear ragged breathing from a short distance behind him. Turning his head, he noticed Yugi on the floor, blood smeared on the wall from the wound on his head and blood trickling from his pale lips. "Aibou!" Yami screamed as he ran over to Yugi. He realized that Yugi fell unconscious, immediately calling an ambulance. After telling them what was wrong, he shakily put down the phone.

As the ambulance sped down the road, Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Bakura all looked out their windows. Noticing that it was traveling to the Game Shop, they quickly put their shoes and jackets on, rushing out the doors and to Yugi's house. "Hey Joey!" Tristan yelled behind him as they ran. "Hey, you heard it too!?" Joey yelled back. "Yeah, let's run faster!" Tristan shouted as they picked up their pace. As Tea ran, she could hear Bakura from behind her, "Tea, wait up!" "Hurry up Bakura!" Tea yelled back as she ran faster. Bakura was able to catch up to her, panting heavily as they continued to run. Tea and Bakura met up with Tristan and Joey as they made it to the shop, noticing that Yugi was being pulled out on a stretcher and pushed to the ambulance.

Yami ran out of the shop, making Tea and the others run up to him. "What happened?" Tea asked nervously. "Takara is back...," Yami said angrily as he ran to the ambulance. As Yami boarded the vehicle, he shouted to the others, "I'll meet you at the hospital!" Everyone replied with a nod as the doors were closed, taking off as fast as it could.

Once the ambulance reached the hospital, the doors were opened as Yugi was pushed out of the ambulance and into the building. Yami followed, but was ordered to wait in the waiting room as they brought Yugi into the emergency room. Luckily, Joey's father gave them all a ride to the hospital, "Thanks pops!" Joey yelled as he closed the door. Everyone else thanked him as they got out of the car. Joey's father nodded as he drove back home. "Let's go!" Joey shouted as they all quickly went into the hospital. They all noticed Yami sitting in the waiting room, taking a seat next to him. "Yami...what exactly happened?" Joey asked. Yami closed his eyes, "Takara took over me, and when Yugi tried to help, she must have hit him a projectile, causing him to hit the wall with great force." "I hope he's gonna be okay...," Joey said sadly.

After about a half an hour, one of the doctors came out of the E.R.., walking over to Yami and the others. Yami quickly stood up, "Is he all right!?" "Yes he is, I'll bring to his room," The doctor replied as he brought them to room 300. The doctor turned to them before he left, "I suggest that he stays for a few more hours before he leaves." Everyone nodded as they walked into the room. "Hey guys," Yugi said weakly as they all took a seat next to him. Yugi's head and chest was bandaged up, making Yami's face fill with concern, "Aibou, are you all right?" "I'm fine...I just have a couple of broken ribs and a slight concussion that's all..." Yami raised an eyebrow, "That's all? You had me worried!" Yugi sweat dropped, "It could be worse..." "You're right...I'm just glad that you're all right..."

As everyone settled down, Yami looked up at Yugi, "Aibou...what happened?" "Well, Takara ended up emerging from you, making you fall unconscious. She was about to kill you with one of her energy waves until I tried to stop her. Instead of hitting you, she hit me...everything else is a blur...," Yugi replied. "How did Takara appear outta Yami in the first place?" Joey asked, scratching his head in confusion. "She said something about hiding in the millennium puzzle when you tried to destroy her...," Yugi said. "This time Takara will not survive!" Yami said angrily.

The same doctor that brought Yami and the others into the room came back in to check on Yugi. "Well, you seem to be doing just fine..," The doctor said happily. Everyone sighed in relief from the good news. "Will I be able to go home now?" Yugi asked politely. "Judging by the way you look, yes," The doctor replied, smiling. "Thank you very much," Yugi said happily. Yami handed Yugi his shirt and jacket, "Here." "Oh thanks," Yugi said as he put them on. "Since the concussion isn't serious, you can take the bandages, but I want you to keep the bandages for your ribs," The doctor said. Yugi slowly took the bandages off, wincing as he accidentally touched the gigantic bruise on the back of his head.

Once Yugi was all ready, Yami helped him get out of his bed. Before they all left, the doctor spoke, "Oh, and make sure you don't do any serious physical activity so that your bones can mend." Yugi nodded as he thanked him one last time, walking out of the room.

As they walked to the doors, Joey ran over to the phone. "What are you doing Joey?" Tea asked. "Callin' my old man," Joey replied. "Oh yeah...," Tea said. Once Joey was finished talking to his dad, he walked back to the group, "He'll be here in a few minutes." "Lets wait at the benches outside then," Tristan said as they walked out the doors. Yami noticed that Yugi was feeling some discomfort, so he picked him up and carried him outside. "You don't have to do this Yami..." "I want to aibou...," Yami said, smiling.

Once Joey's father dropped everyone off, Yami and Yugi thanked him as Yami carried Yugi into the shop. Joey's father smiled as he nodded, driving away to everyone else's houses. Yami brought Yugi to the couch in the living room, "Rest for now aibou..." Yugi smiled innocently as he closed his eyes. Yami then noticed that he left the babies alone. He quickly ran to their cribs, sighing in relief as he noticed that they were sleeping. Smiling, Yami walked over to the couch across the one from Yugi's. As Yami closed his eyes, Yugi began to speak softly, "What about Takara?" "Don't worry aibou...when the time comes I'll be there to stop her...," Yami replied as he closed his eyes. Yugi gave out a sigh of relief as he closed his eyes, drifting to sleep.
