A/N- This is it. The final part you've all been waiting for. Thank you all
for sticking to this story till the very end. This was my first chapter
story to be completed and your positive reviews gave me the encouragement I
needed to finish this and not send it to meet its fate in the recycling bin
like so many others. I've been at this one for so long, I'm going to miss
writing it... BTW, my part 6 warning still stands. This may be re-uploaded
in the future with a major revision if I get around to making up a new
ending... *Random Shameless Advertizing (RSA) for Master of Disaster* Go
on, read it, you'll like it.
Disclaimer- I didn't own Yu-Gi-Oh in the beginning of this story, so what makes you think anything has changed?
Run With Me
Seto sat up in the spotlessly white hospital room. Everyone was there, sprawled out sleeping in chairs and on the floor. Mokuba, Yugi, Yugi's friends, and of course, _him_. Apparently even the hospital security had failed to remove them. _He_ was the only one not sleeping.
'Meet me at the park later.' He mouthed to Seto. And then in a flash of golden light, he disappeared.
~*~*~*~
It really had been him all along, there to guide him through the Dreamscape. There when he had needed someone, anyone. It was he that had been there. It was he that was here now. Long points of spiky tri-colored hair swayed gently in the afternoon wind as Yami stood waiting in front of the park gates.
"Run with me, Seto. Run with me."
Without a second thought, Seto gave chase, the steady rhythm of his feet pounding the earth matching that of the other. Once more, he reveled in the wind rushing through his hair and the scent of sun-baked earth that called to him.
And Seto ran. He left his ever present brief case on a nearby bench. He tore off his trench coat, leaving it hanging over a nearby branch. And he ran and he ran.
He lost himself again, giving over to that primal side of him as he ran, leaping over fallen logs and half-buried boulders as he raced onward through the park with Yami. He knew there would be trouble at the office later on, and people would ask questions. But that was later on. Right now there was only him, his once-teacher, and the untarnished world that lay beneath their feet.
Running on, they left the park and ascended up a previously unused back road that arched high Domino. They paused for a moment to take in the sight, both of them standing on the lazily curving road, watching the spectacle of millions of seemingly tiny lights that flowed into the valley beneath them. This was the city after hours. Its incredible night life only a few were accustomed to.
And when the night fell and the now solitary moon rose high into the sky, Seto laughed a single, soft laugh.
In the still and peaceful night, his laughter broke the silence, and traveled away from him until he could no longer hear it. When all was once again quiet, the sounds of his laughter left the earth's atmosphere and headed toward deep space. Within minutes, it had passed the outer orbit of Pluto and continued on.
The next day, it would still be heading away from that spot, now galaxies away. The next year, and ten years after that, the sound of Seto's soft laughter would still be traveling incredibly fast, leaping over planets and stars.
A million years later, Seto's laughter would be able to be heard billions of light years away. And until the end of existence, Seto's laughter would continue to travel, forever with no end. And right behind it, would be Yami's deep voice saying one last line to Seto.
"Run with me..."

A/N- Wow...it's finally over. I hoped you all liked it, even though I am still a novice compared to some people out there. Review me, please? One last time, for old time's sake...
