Chapter 11: How Far Can Love Take Us?
Nuriko: Sadly, I have a feeling this story will end soon. Probably 2 chapters left, at the most. I am not sure.
Kenji: Aww ;-;
Nuriko: Well we sure need to give the guys at the kissing booth a break eventually…right?
Kenji: Actually…I'm sure they are pretty happy the way they are *sigh*
Nuriko: True ^^ Well Pretty-Kitty 15's date with Yami Bakura has ended and wow…look at all the people who still want to go out with him! *stares down the line* o.o; This time I want to get all the kissing booth stuff done ahead of time if possible!
Let's see…Toby paid to make out with Malik, Yami Malik and Yami Bakura while Yami Toby paid to make out with Yami Yugi. Sooo…go to it!
*time passes, they wait as Yami Toby and Toby go into rooms with their bishounen and also while different bishounen go in and out of Toby's room with dumbstruck expressions*
Yami Malik and Malik: *-*
Kenji: haha, like Yami like Aibou!
Nuriko: Next, Storm Rider-Shadow Wolf will be spending the night with one of the bishounen….Malik! (Sorry! I don't usually do marriages ;-; I'm really sorry!)
Malik: *turns bright red*
Nuriko: See you later you two ^_~
*Storm Rider-Shadow Wolf and Malik go off together*
Nuriko: And Tea Gardener will be now going out with Yami and his Aibou, Yugi! Have fun! ^_~ We'll finish up your dates in the next chapter!
Serenity blinked, who was this Pegasus person that everyone was so afraid and shocked to see? True, she had heard of him as the creator of duel monsters and the host of the Duelist Kingdom but not much else besides that.
But, the looks of horror and shock on everyone's faces told her something wasn't right.
"Who are you and what do you want?" She gathered her courage and asked. He gave her a cold smile.
"Well, I haven't seen you before but from what I can tell you must be Joey's younger sister, the one he needed the money in the operation for. I am only here right now to get my revenge so my soul can finally go up to heaven and I can be with my dear Cecelia." He said plainly.
"Why pick on my friends though?" She continued her questions, avoiding a fight right now would be the best for everyone. The guys looked like they were in so much pain and she didn't know if all the girls strength put together could beat him in a duel.
"Because they robbed me of everything! My dreams for the future, my chance of bringing my wife back, even my millennium item!" He roared, his voice filled with anger and hate.
Bakura sneered and looked Pegasus directly in the eyes, daring him to even try and take the millennium eye back.
"I don't really know you…and I don't know any of the pain you've been through, just please, leave us alone. Haven't you hurt them enough?" Serenity pleaded, her eyes filling with tears.
"Even you don't understand! If you cannot understand my reasons for revenge then you do not understand what I am going though! I won't rest in my grave until I see them suffer!" He says, his voice echoing off the walls in the room.
"Serenity, give it up. He's too long gone right now to even understand your words." Joey limped over to his sister's side and tried to take her by the arm and lead her away. Serenity shook her head, surprising her older brother.
"No Joey! I will make him see that this isn't right! I will!" She said, pulling away sharply and walking forward, towards Pegasus.
"Serenity! No!" Seto cried before doubling over in pain and sinking to the floor, his injuries causing him great pain.
"Please Mr. Pegasus. Do you think this is what your wife would want you to be doing? This isn't the way to solve anything, it'll only cause others to act the way you are doing now, with hurt and pain. Please stop and go to your wife without revenge." She says, she reaches out to touch him then backs away in surprise as her arm goes right though him.
"Surprised, aren't you? I'm not even really here now. I am half dead in a hospital room from mental stress and blood loss! I will never really live again! And it is all because of your stupid friends!" He roared.
"Please don't blame it on them! Please…" She begs, her friends looking on with looks of disbelief.
"I will do what I have intended in the first place. I have no grudge with you so I will permit you to leave, so go, unless you want to die here with the others!" He says in a strict, heartless tone.
"No…I won't." Pegasus looks up. Serenity stares straight at him with a straight face. "I will not leave until you have stopped wallowing in self-pity and until you leave my friends alone! You act like you don't know that we've felt these same emotions once in our lives, maybe even more! You have to get over your depression, let your spirit go. Isn't this what Cecelia would want?! Do it for her!" Serenity said, emotion filling her voice and making it crack.
"Serenity Wheeler…you know what you are saying, I know this. I can read your thoughts without the millennium eye and I know there is nothing more then you wanting everyone to be happy. I thank you…" Pegasus pauses. "But I must know…if there really love after death?"
"I really don't know…" Serenity replies, her mind drifting to Seto and their future.
"What if I cannot find Cecelia once I have left? This is why I want revenge…to at least get one thing accomplished." Pegasus states, his voice growing weaker.
"If you really loved her….then I am sure you will see her again. Just, let your soul rest." Serenity says, tears falling down her face.
'He really did love her with all of his heart. They were probably perfect together…I am sorry Pegasus that you went through all this pain' Serenity thinks. Her friends meanwhile are still standing back behind her but soon the other girls begin to inch forward and try and help Serenity in her talk.
"Pegasus…it's hard to forgive someone that has done something terrible to you or your friends. I hated you when you hurt Yugi, his Grandpa, Kaiba, Mokuba…but…I know why you did it. I have know why you did it and I wish we could've gotten off to a better start. Please go to your wife…I am sure she has missed you…"
"No…no, I need to duel Yugi first…I need to make him suffer like he did to me. I need to shatter his dreams like he did for me." A voice, unlike that of Pegasus came from his body.
"I don't think that is Pegasus anymore…when he fell ill he must have been taken over by an evil spirit. There is no way to rid him of this spirit unless he dies or somehow finds the will to fight back." Yami Yugi weakly walks up and stands next to Tea.
"Is there any other way?" Tea asks, her eyes giving off a sad look. How could they kill a person? How could they ever bring themselves to that?
"No…I don't think there is…the real Pegasus is probably too weak to fight back against the power of the spirit. We must do it this way. Either we get rid of it or it'll kill us all! It is already eating away at Pegasus and with its threats it wants us dead to! There is nothing we can do for him now." Yami closes his eyes and his puzzle begins to give off an eerie glow. Yugi walks to him Yami and with him begins to slowly call upon an ancient Egyptian spell, their minds combined into one.
"No, wait!" Serenity yells, breaking their concentration. The others look at her, wondering what she was going to do.
"Serenity…" Seto said softly.
"I have an idea…" Serenity closes her eyes and a bright light emits from her bracelet.
'Please let this work' she prayed as she felt her life slipping from her body…
Nuriko: dun dun DUN! What does Serenity have in planned now?
Kenji: You aren't gonna kill her, are you?
Nuriko: Sore wa himitsu desu! *grins*
Kenji: Xelloss --;
