"YUGI!!!"Kaily shreiked as her brother collapsed into her arms,"No."
"Brave boy."Alexander sneered,"Now for you."
"BASTARD!!!!!"Joey suddenly charged, tackling Alexander to the ground.
The gun flew and landed in front of Kaily, who know had tears streaming from her eyes. She looked up and grabbed the gun then looked to where Joey was wrestling down Alexander,"JOEY!!! MOVE!!!"
Joey went wide eyed,"Kail, don't!!!"
"This THING has caused far too much pain, he deserves to die!"Kaily shouted.
"Even when you got mad enough to kill, you never used a gun on anyone!"Tristan shouted, finally regaining his composure.
"I don't care,"Kaily snapped,"he's the reason that my brother is dying!!! Move Joey!!!"
"Kaily *cough* please, don't."Kaily looked down at her brother,"It's not *cough* worth it. You'll be *cough cough* no better than him."
Kaily couldn't find her voice, Yugi was right, but, he's caused so much pain.
"Please don't."Yugi pleaded weakly, putting a hand on Kaily's shaking one,"Please."
Kaily dropped the gun,"Yugi....." She gently cradled her injured brother,"Please no."
"Thank you.......Kaily."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What the hell happened?"Bakahno snapped.
"It's Yugi, his heart just....stopped."Tristan whispered weakly.
Bakahno walked over and set his hand on the boy's chest, nothing,"Something happend in their dream. This is what Seth wants, for them to die. If they die or they take another's life their souls will be sent to the Shadow Realm and they will die in this world."
"What?!"T'ea yelped,"No, he can't die!"
Bakura weakly walked over and put a hand on T'ea shoulder,"Isn't there anything we can do, yami?"
"I'm afraid not,"Bakahno sighed,"and, if I'm right, if one of them dies, the other will be trapped forever."
Joey was using all his power to fight back his tears, with little luck. Bakura went wide eyed in shock.
"They're the only chance we have against the Shadow Games!"Tristan snapped,"You said that yourself!"
"There has to be something."Kaiba hissed, putting a gentle hand on Mokuba's head.
"If there is something, Yu-Gi-Oh is the only one who'd know."Bakahno sighed,"But, if Yugi's gone, so is his yami."
Joey punched the wall, leaving a fairly large dent,"NO!!! There has to be something we can do!! Yugi and Kail have done so much for us!!! We can't let them down now!!!!"
Bakura looked at the Millenium Eye in his hand,"Serenity." Serenity looked up at Bakura for a moment. "Catch."He threw the Millenium Eye to her.
"What the?"Serenity caught the eye, and it immediately began glowing.
"The Millenium Eye belongs to you."Bakaho explained.
"WHAT?!"Joey yelped,"No way!! Serenity does NOT need this! She's in enough danger as is!"
"Joey, shut up."Serenity sighed,"It's my destiny, live with it. We didn't chose what happens, if I'm destined to bear one of the Millenium Items, then that's what I'm destined to do."
"UGH!!!"Joey began pounding his head on the wall,"I do NOT need this stress."
"You do!"Kaiba snarled,"Imagine what Pegasus amd Solomon are going through!!" 'Did I just say that?'
"Yes, Seto, you did."Serenity rolled her eyes,"Whoa, I can read minds."
"That's the power of the Millenium Eye."Bakura shrugged.
Serenity nodded and put the eye in the backpack she was wearing,"What do we do now?"
"I'm not sure."Bakahno looked out the window,"All I know is that our best chance is dead and our guardian in laying in a coma trying to cope with her brother's death."
Joey set the Millenium Puzzle around Yugi's neck and put the Guardian's Flute in Kaily's hand,"I wish I knew some way we could help."
Suddenly the flute began glowing and a gold dagger appeared in Joey's hand and another in Tristan's.
"What the heck?"Tristan examined the dagger,"Joey, I think you need to learn to keep your mouth shut."
"Yeah."Joey examined his own dagger,"What's next?"
"This."Shadi suddenly walked into the room weakly,"The Shadow Games have somehow been beaten back. It's been trapped again."
"Yugi."T'ea whispered,"He must have done it."
"Only if her were to sacrifice his own life would that happen."Bakahno looked at T'ea.
"He did."Serenity whispered,"He sacrificed his life to save Kail from getting shot. I can see it in Kail's mind. Isn't there some way we can wake her up?"
/Bakura, you're the only one that can wake her up./Bakahno mentally whispered.
//How?//Bakura asked,//I'll do anything.//
/Give her some of your energy, pull her out of the dream./Bakahno explained.
Bakura understood. He walked over to Kaily and set his hand on her chest. His body began glowing a gentle shade of gold as he leaned down and kissed her. The glow spread to her body. 'Kaily, please wake up.'
Kaily's eyes weakly fluttered open. Bakura moved back and suddenly collapsed. He was caught by Bakahno.
"What the hell?"Kaily rubbed her head,"God, what a nightmare."
"It wasn't really a nightmare."Bakura whispered,"Yugi is really dead."
Kaily spun so she could see her brother, who T'ea was still leaning over,"Yugi..."
"He stopped the Shadow Games by dying to protect you."Bakahno explained.
"I don't know weather I should be relieved or sad or I don't know!"Kaily flopped back and covered her face with her hand,"I officially HATE my life."
"This would probably be a bad time to tell you that the whole story behind your parents is true."T'ea whispered.
"UGH!!!!!"Kaily fought back the surge of emotion welling up inside her, anger, fear, sadness, worry, and hate, all building inside her,"Shadi, what the hell are you doing here?"
"I came to inform you that the Shadow Games are trapped again."Shadi said simply,"Of course I didn't count on the 'all mighty guardian'"Kaily could practically taste the hate in his voice,"being in a coma and the 'chosen one' dying."
"Quit dissing my abiou."Yuga appeared next to Kaily with one hand on the teen's shoulder,"We've all been through a lot, we don't need you here."
"Just stay out of this Yugorana."Shadi snarled,"All mighty Kail, then guardian of the millenium items, has failed, miserably."
All of Kaily's emotions suddenly turned to rage. Joey, sensing the rage, came to her defense,"Shut up, it's not like there's anything she could have done about it!"
"She's supposed to be the guardian, isn't she?"Shadi taunted.
"She doesn't even have her full power yet!"Serenity snapped,"And you know it! Until all the items are in their rightful place she doesn't have her full power, and, for that matter, YOU are the resposible guardian until she reaches full power!"
"So, technically,"Kaiba mused,"it's your fault, Shadi."
"No, it's my fault, I shouldn't have let my anger get to me."Kaily said simply,"If I hadn't gone after Alexander in my dream Yugi would be fine right now."
"But you would still be stuck in your dream world."Aurora pointed out,"And the Shadow Games would be breathing down our necks."
Bakahno and Yuga exchanged glances, then turned their attention to Yugi. Kaily looked at her yami,"What are you thinking about?"
"It would never work."Bakahno snarled.
"What would?"Kaily looked up at Bakahno.
"We can't return Yugi to his body, but...."Yuga looked at the hopefulness in her light's eyes,"we could transfer his soul through someone."
"Excuse me?"Kaily looked between the yamis.
"Basicly,"Yuga explained,"join his soul with another person's, but it would have to be someone who holds a Millenuim Item, not to mention someone will have to go to the Shadow Realm to find him."
Kaily suddenly turned to Shadi,"Give me the scales."
Shadi gave her an annoyed look,"They won't accept you."
"I never said they would."Kaily said simply, getting to her feet and approaching Shadi, even though he still stood taller than her,"Just give them to me."
"No."Shadi hissed.
"Fine,"Kaily's hand glowed for a moment and the Millenium Scales flew into it,"I'll take them myself. T'ea, catch."The scales left her hand and flew to T'ea. "The Millenium Scales belong with T'ea, not you."
"How did you......"Shadi was cut short but Kaily's hand connecting with his face.
"I didn't know, Yugi did."Kaily walked back over to T'ea,"I'll go to the Shadow Realm and find Yugi."
"You can't go alone,"Bakahno glared at her,"the Shadow Realm will tear you apart."
"Who said she's going alone?"Joey smirked,"I'm goin' with her."
"A mere mortal, survive the Shadow Realm?! Ha! I thought Kail was crazy."Bakahno laughed.
"Mere mortal?"it was Serenity's turn to laugh,"That dagger Joey's holding is the symbol of a guardian. There were three destined guardians, not just one. Joey's wanting to protect me gave him the power of a guardian."
"Then I'm going to."Tristan said.
"No, Tristan, you have to stay here in case Seth manages to get out, someone needs to watch over us."Kaily smiled.
"I'll go."Kaiba stated, suprising everyone,"Someone needs to make sure those two don't get themselves killed."
"One more person should go."Yuga said quickly, before Bakhano could object.
"I will."Everyone turned to see Mai standing in the doorway.
"Mai?!"Joey jumped in suprise,"I thought you left!"
"I left to find this hair ball."Tallen walked up next to Mai,"She should be able to track Yugi's soul down."
"Now, whose soul is Yugi gonna go through?"Joey asked.
"Who else? T'ea."Bakura said simply.
"Are you sure she could handle it?"Yuga asked.
"Positive."Kaily answered for him,"Joey, Seto, Mai, and I will go after Yugi. T'ea, please, don't go and get yourself hurt before we get back, you need to be at full strength."
"All right."Bakahno sighed,"Why do I get the feeling I'm going to regret this?"
"Because you always do."Yuga smirked,"You hate my brother, we're bringing him back, and you're helping, you'll regret it."
"She's right."Bakura smiled,"She knows you better than anyone."
"Oh, Bakura,"Kaily smiled again,"thanks for waking me up."
Bakura blushed slightly,"You'd better get going."
"Mokuba."Kaily turned her attention the boy.
"Huh."Mokuba walked over to her.
"I'm trusting you to keep these maniacs out of trouble."Kaily gently messing up the young boy's hair,"And that goes double for you, Aurora."
The two pre-teens nodded.
"Let's go."Kaiba hissed.
"There is a chance you won't be able to come back."Bakahno hissed.
Kaiba nodded and turned to Serenity,"I'll be back, Joey's the one you need to worry about."
"Hey!"Joey snapped.
"Don't start."Kaily said quickly,"And Seto, quit picking fights with Joey, you can do that while we're in the Shadow Realm, then I'll have an excuse to kill both of you."
"Fine."Kaiba snorted.
Serenity suddenly pulled Kaiba into a deep kiss, causing Kaily to snicker and Joey to go bug eyed.
"WHA?!!"
"I never said Serenity couldn't torture you."Kaily smiled.
"UGH!!"
Serenity finally broke the kiss,"I swear, of Kail has to hurt you, you're both dead."
"What she said."Mokuba smiled.
"Wait a minte, where'd Nova and Serena go?"Joey suddenly asked.
"They're making lunch."Tristan explained.
"I'm not even going to ask."Kaily slapped her forehead.
"Better say bye."Tristan said quickly,"God knows how long you'll be gone."
"Say bye to who?"Serena walked into the room,"Kail! You're awake!"
"Seto, Mai, Joey, and I have to go to the Shadow Realm."Kaily explained.
"The Shadow Realm?!"Serena squeaked,"But you could get killed!"
"It's either that or let Yug die."Joey explained,"I've gotta go."
Serena nodded,"Fine, just be careful."
Joey walked over and wrapped his arms around her,"I will, I promise."
"And I'll make sure he doesn't accidentally sick his Flame Swordsman on himself."Kaily added, receiving a short snicker from Serenity.
"Come on, enough mush."Bakahno hissed,"Get moving."
"Can it."Serena snapped, giving Joey a quick kiss,"Get moving."
"Let's go."Kaily sighed,"We need to find Yugi."
Kaiba, Joey, and Mai walked over to Kaily. Kaily began muttering something in Egyptian and suddenly all four of them began glowing and they collapsed on the floor.
"Good luck."Bakura whispered.
"Brave boy."Alexander sneered,"Now for you."
"BASTARD!!!!!"Joey suddenly charged, tackling Alexander to the ground.
The gun flew and landed in front of Kaily, who know had tears streaming from her eyes. She looked up and grabbed the gun then looked to where Joey was wrestling down Alexander,"JOEY!!! MOVE!!!"

"I don't care,"Kaily snapped,"he's the reason that my brother is dying!!! Move Joey!!!"
"Kaily *cough* please, don't."Kaily looked down at her brother,"It's not *cough* worth it. You'll be *cough cough* no better than him."
Kaily couldn't find her voice, Yugi was right, but, he's caused so much pain.
"Please don't."Yugi pleaded weakly, putting a hand on Kaily's shaking one,"Please."
Kaily dropped the gun,"Yugi....." She gently cradled her injured brother,"Please no."
"Thank you.......Kaily."
