Tym-Ahem...
SS-What?
Tym-*claps hands together* Show me the money.
SS-*sigh* All right. *hands Tym $10*
Tym-Yes! Cha-ching! You guys came through! Tkx to Silver Dragon, Empress Sarah-sama, Ms. Prongs and lots of others, we got enough votes for a sequel!
SS-Um hm. I'll start working on that ASAP. Better look out for it, the title will be... 'Sent to Save Me'.
Tym-Ya, and by request (and since I nagged her into it) here's a short epilogue. (DISCLAIMER-We don't own YGO, if we did, this would be a short movie...not a long fan fic.)
&words to readers&
~You guys are great! Fantastic! Thanks so much for all of your support and comments! Now, you guys have put up with my mistakes before (Tym-Man, those were REAL big no-no's), but bear with me...an epilogue is jus a lil extra of the story right? A small look into the future? Hope so...cuz that's what this is, a lil in the life of Y+Y and a lead-in to the sequel. Sry if that's not what a real epilogue is, but that's what it is for me *adds epilogue to SS's vocab book*
Last Time
~Do I really need to write this up? I'm sure you guys remember what happened last time. But incase you forget, or didn't read it (Didn't read it? You better go back and read it!) here's the scoop. Yami became Yugi's permanent guardian angel...and if it weren't for the fact that Yami loved his charge, he'd be very pissed about it. Now let's get started!
~*~*~*~*~
Angels Watching Over Me
Epilogue
****In Yugi's room (his real room, not hospital), around 10:32pm****
Yugi had just finished his shower and was about to change. He took the puzzle off (Which had become the home of his guardians.) and slipped into his soft, blue pajamas with the sleepy sheep on them (Just like mine! XD).
'It feels good to be in these rather then the hospital ones.' He pulled back his covers of his bed, then switched the lamp on his night stand off. That's when his angel came out, the one that looked like him, not the one who talked a lot. Yugi looked at him. "Hi Yami."
"Hello Yugi." When they got back from the movie...and finished dinner...Yugi found an extra pair of black jeans (That were too big for him.) and an over sized blue t-shirt for Yami to wear in place of his uniform. They fit him perfectly, which was lucky for them because Yugi wasn't about to ask his dad for clothes that were obviously too large for him.
"Where's Kelina?" Yami sat down on the edge of his charge's bed.
"She's sleeping."
"Already?"
"Yes, thankfully she got tired from the day's activities. Now I can have some peace in there." Yugi smiled. Yami usually stayed out of the puzzle, even if Yugi didn't need him. He'd explore the rest of the house, or fly out, while still keeping an eye on the lil boy. Kelina stayed inside most of the time, decorating the rooms and/or annoying Yami.
Inside the puzzle were two rooms, one for Kelina, and one for Yami and Harlon. Even though the purpose was to give Kelina more space, she despised it and therefore stayed in the other angels' room most of the time. Harlon didn't seem to mind her company, especially since she bugged Yami more than him. But those teasings usually led to fights, and that was the only time Harlon would come out and talk to Yugi (Unless Yugi called to him in particular...which wasn't too often).
"Are you going to sleep now?" Yugi nodded.
"Yea, I missed my comfortable bed, plus, all that walking around tired me out." He climbed in while Yami tucked him in.
"It was pretty busy, first the arcade."
"Then the movie."
"But it
ended early so you all went to-"
"The mall, which was a big
mistake, especially since there were a bunch of sales, so-"
"Tea and Mai ran all around while all you guys, except Mokuba, carried the bags."
"Uh huh. I'm surprised they don't make shopping a sport, it's a lot harder than it looks."
"I know, I'm glad I didn't have to go through that." Yugi sat up and made a face at him.
"Ya. You just sat there watching us, why didn't you help me?!" Yami matched his expression.
"Well I couldn't let the others see me now could I?" Yugi crossed his arms and looked away. Yami tilted his head, then scooted over to him and wrapped his arms around his charge's waist. Yugi didn't seemed phased by this since he was still looking away from the angel. So Yami pulled him over and leaned against the headboard. Yugi still looked away. Yami thought for a moment, then decided to work his magic.
"Ya-Yami!! st-stop it!" Yami started tickling the lil boy into submission, and it was working. "Ya-Yami!!! I give-give!! I give i-in!! Sto-op Pl-please!!"
"All right." He did as he wished and stopped tickling him, but still had his arms around him.
*sigh* "I forgive you Yami." Yami raised an eyebrow at him.
"Forgive me?"
"Uh huh...for not helping me out...and for tickling me just now." Yami shook his head. Then Yugi turned over so that his arms could fall by Yami's side. He rested his head on Yami's chest and closed his eyes. "G'night Yami."
'Now why does this scene seem familiar?' "Good night Yugi." He adjusted his position so that he and Yugi were more comfortable, then closed his eyes too. 'Well, it's a good kind of familiar. The only thing that's missing is-' Yami was cut off from his thoughts when he heard the doorknob turning. Panicked, he became invisible, sank into the bed, and pulled the covers over them so it looked like Yugi was asleep on the bed...instead of asleep on him. The door opened and Yami looked over to see who it was, and there stood Yugi's mother and father. He was really worried now, but calmed down when they didn't come in. They just stood there, looking at their son.
"Doesn't he look cute?"
"Adorable Lena, just like a little angel." Yami smiled.
'Um hm, just like an angel. In fact, he's more angelic than some of them up there.'
"Yes. We better leave so he can get some rest.
"All right."
"I really think he likes you more."
"Yea? Maybe that hospital experience changed him."
'Heh, it changed him more than you think.' As they walked away Yami breathed out in relief, but wondered why they didn't shut the door with them. He didn't worry much though because he heard another door close, and assumed that it'd be ok to get up and out. So he slowly sat up, careful not to wake him, and got out of the bed (Yugi's still asleep, Yami's carrying him.). Then he gingerly put the lil boy down and pulled the blankets over him. He made sure he was warm and kissed his forehead lightly. *Errr ka-puck...yes, that was my stupid imitation on a door closing* Yami froze, realizing that he was now visible. Praying that it was just the wind, he swirled around and gasped.
"Gyaa!" He stumbled back, then saw that it was just Yugi's granpa and sighed. "Granpa please don't sneak up on me like that." He stepped out of the shadows and walked up to him.
"Well it was your fault, you let down your guard...and I didn't even say a word." Yami shook his head and looked back to Yugi, making sure that he didn't wake him. Yugi stirred a little, but was still asleep. Yami sighed in relief, then turned back to granpa. "I was wondering when you'd show up. Yugi told me that you were back, but I haven't seen you since the hospital." He walked over to his grandson and fixed the covers. "I suspected you were here when Yugi perked up. And because I heard him laughing earlier...you're lucky that my daughter and son-in-law didn't hear it." Yami looked down. "But I am glad that you're back, Yugi missed you." Yami looked up and nodded.
"Yes, he told me...and showed me. *thinks back to the garden* But...if memory serves me, I think he told me that he missed the kiwi?" Granpa smiled.
"Oh, he told you about that."
"Uh huh, but I'm going to forget it, and pray that Kelina doesn't hear about it."
"Kelina?"
"Another angel...she and Harlon are my friends, and are here to help me watch over Yugi."
"I see, at least you won't be lonely when you aren't with Yugi." Yami thought about that.
"No...I think I'd rather be lonely." Granpa gave him a weird look, but Yami continued. "You'll understand once you've met her. Good night Granpa." Yami put his hand on Yugi's and smiled, he could tell that Yami wanted to stay with him, but knew that the boy needed his sleep. So he whispered a good night and vanished back into the puzzle. Yugi pulled his hand under the covers, turned to his side and sighed (A happy sigh). Granpa took that as a good thing, and left, closing the door behind him.
****Ryou's room (same time)****
*yawn* "I better get to bed, otherwise I won't be able to wake up in the morning." Ryou got up from his chair an proceeded to his bed on the opposite side of his room. He winced as his arm hit the dresser next to his bed, rubbing his hand over the cuts and bruises that were spread across his upper arm. He sighed, remembering the night he received them. Pushing away the bad memories, he reached his bed. As he pulled the covers back, Ryou spotted his present, the ring that he and Bakura had found together. *smiles* He picked it up and looked at it again. "I can't believe he gave this to me. I'll have to find some way to repay him...then again, when's the next time I'm likely to run into him." *sigh* He put the ring down, turned off the lights, and climbed into his bed.
As he drifted to sleep (which wasn't too hard considering all he had done that day), the cold wind howled against his window, but it wasn't enough to wake him. Luckily, it suddenly subsided, but the latch came undone anyway, and the window opened. A shadowy figure appeared beside the boy's chair, and it grabbed the top of it, obviously a lil unstable.
'There has to be an easier way to get here than that.' The person (You probably know who it is already, but keep reading.) looked around the room, examining everything until his eyes landed on the sleeping boy. "Ah, so we meet again, and a lot sooner then you expected." (Big hint!) He retracted his wings and walked over to his bedside. The person lifted the ring and saw that a rope had been added so that Ryou could wear it around his neck. "Clever." He brushed back the boys hair so that he could see his face. "But let's see how clever you really are. Yes, let's see how quickly you can figure things out...hopefully not very long. Hm, I'll be waiting." Just as Ryou slowly opened his eyes, the shadowed figure disappeared. The boy looked up, then saw that his window was open.
"Hm...the wind must have blown it open." He got up and closed it, then noticed the ring glow a little. He sat down on his bed and picked it up. "Must have been my imagination." He put it down and returned to the comfort of his covers. He was asleep in seconds.
~*~*~*~*~
SS-I'm afraid that's it...after all, epilogues are s'pose to be short. But I'll try and get the 1st ch. of the sequel out ASAP. It might take a bit though cuz school's starting up again.
Tym-And remember, it won't be 'Angels Watching Over Me', it'll be 'Sent to Save Me'.
SS-That's right, so r/r and take some guesses...(even though you guys already know)...Who's the shadowy figure? What's up with the ring? And where did those bruises and cuts come from? (As you can tell the sequel will concentrate on Ryou and _______, but Y+Y will still be there.) Special mention to anyone who can figure out the last one...though it would probably be on pure luck, then again, luck can be just as good if not, even better as skill sometimes. But if your luck isn't too great, you'll find out when I put out the sequel. Cya then! Sweet Dweams!
Tym-Ya! Ashes ta Ashes digidudes and dudettes!
