Ok back to the fic, wow it has gotten long hasn't it? This is the 13th chapter! Wow I feel sooooo saga-ish ^_^ Do you guys like this fic? I mean should I continue it in deep, thick plotted detail or is it boring all of you now? Maybe I should wrap this up and start a new humour eh? What do you lot think? ^_~

On to Chappie 13! ^_^

[What the hell am I?] Yami thought as he sat with Kaiba at breakfast, his night had not been peaceful, he had spent all his time tossing about in bed and wondering the same thing, what WAS he? A demon? A saviour? A beast? A freak? Maybe Kaiba was right, he was a freakish runt…. Yami shook his head, that news that Ra had given him had shook him pretty badly!

Seto finally turned to Yami and muttered "What the hell is wrong with you!?"

Yami looked at him, blankly, with Crimson eyes that no longer held a passionate fire or a determined will, but that held a glimmer of confused, self-hatred. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply [Game King? Bah! I'm a demon, a thing that humans hate and fear! It is my fault that Yugi is experiencing pain! I must save him… Then I must… I know what I must do!] Yami opened his eyes, they were filled with a new determination, to save Yugi then to "repent" for the things he had done as a dark side!

Seto blinked and dashed after Yami when the smaller boy got up and left "Hm? Where are we going?"

Yami whispered "To where this began and where I WILL end it all!"

Seto blinked, that made a lot of sense to the boy who practically designed their technology age, NOT, he growled then yelled "AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I ASK YOU! WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!?"

Yami merely sighed and with a sad smile he murmured "This is where…. It ends… the end of the story, game over, the finale, the curtain call, whatever you'd like to call the very end of this little saga, Kaiba, this is where our journey ends, where I find Yugi and then things return to normal!"

Seto blinked then nodded "Ok……"

(Later that day)

Yami was looking out over the sands, he could feel the darkness, drawing closer something was headed towards them! [Argh! If they come after me then I'll never find out where they are keeping my Aibou!] Yami thought as the dark force drew closer and closer until out of the sands leapt a huge dungeon worm.

Seto gasped "What the fuck?" he snarled as the worm knocked him flying.

Yami blinked then growled out "Fine! Worm! You wanna play then let's play!" he pulled out a single card, followed by the marker pen, he etched a rune on to the back then threw the card forward. It stopped dead in the middle of the "arena" floating and glowing a bright red, tongues of flames flicked of it and brushed against the worn making it slitter back and hiss wildly. Suddenly the card turned, bathing the worm in bright white light as out of the card came Curse of Dragon! Yami grinned, a dark, confident grin, the ways of the Shadow Games were returning, flooding his mind like a river. He remembered how to play and the joy he had taken in killing anyone who was beaten by him, Nahkat had played for love, but he, the demon had played to see blood smear the walls and to see monster die in brutal and vile ways. He enjoyed the killing and the mauling! Yami then yelled "CURSE OF DRAGON TAKE FLIGHT AND ATTACK WITH DRAGON FLAME!!!"

The golden Bird like dragon rose its head and let out a piercing scream before flexing its huge wings and launching up in to the clear blue sky, it aligned itself with the sun so that the Worm was blocked from the light. Then it threw back its head and fired a blast of fiery breath toward the worm. The river of flames flew through the air, like lava, it met its target and began to burn it with a wild "hiss". The scent of burning worm was foul and intoxicating, it made breathing very hard. The smell was synonymous with that of a rotting corpse or of rotten food, at lease a few weeks old.

Seto gagged slightly, the burnt beast really stank but then again at least it couldn't hurt them any longer. Finally the beast was gone, a husk, a burnt pile of ash but most of all it was dead and done with! Seto turned to Yami "H-how can you do that?"

Yami smiled and picked up the card from the dusty sand "This how" he whispered as he turned the card, revealing a rune drawn in to the back.

Seto gasped "A rune allowed you to do that? Which rune is it?"

Yami pulled out the mini rune book from his backpack "In here it says that it's a rune named Gebo although I could have used Uruz or Ehwaz too."

Seto blinked, none of it made perfect sense but some of it rang true in his mind [Runes? The ancient language of the gods…… So that is how they can be used!] Seto shrugged and murmured "Let's continue!!"

Yami nodded, a serious glimmer in his eyes, they headed toward the sands "……"

Seto looked over at Yami, the smaller boy looked so more, ancient, more adult than the "normal Yugi" finally Seto broke the awkward silence "… Ummmm…… Where are we headed?"

Yami turned to look at Seto , crimson eyes questioning him. Finally with a heavy sigh Yami murmured "We're heading to your palace….. When you were Sette…"

Seto glared at Yami [That again? I'm NO pharaoh…. I never was! You lie Yami…. Yugi… Argh what the hell DO I call this runt?] Seto's temper was returning, it flared up whenever he was confused, he hated being confused!

Yami looked at Seto "Hm? Something wrong?" He whispered, tilting his head slightly to looked in to Seto's cold, icy eyes.

Seto looked at Yami "No. I'm fine….. Don't worry, it's not becoming of you to seem like you actually care…." Seto then snorted and turned away, staring out at the vast, endless golden landscape.

Yami closed his eyes and made a snort of amusement "Never willing to accept kindness eh?"

Seto merely glared at Yami "What do you mean by that?"

Yami grinned "Well, you never could open your mind to the world around you…… could you?"

Seto growled, his anger was flaring up again "What the hell do you mean!? You don't know me runt so don't even bother trying!" Seto then stormed ahead.

Yami smirked [My god Sette how you have changed……. Although, should I really pray to a god for advice? Seeing as I am a demon…….] Yami shook his head and trudged along next to Seto, the next few hours would be filled with silence, silence and even more silence………
