Blood was running through Yugi's veins as he ran as fast as he could. The horde of Blue-Winged Crowns were attacking him left and right, giving him no chance but to run. Thinking as fast as he could, he looked to his deck for help. Yugi drew a card as he ran:
"Gaia the Fierce Knight!" Yugi called out as the Blue-Winged Crowns attacked once more.
Gaia appeared before Yugi in blaze of light on his horse. He quickly grabbed Yugi, pulling him up onto his horse and broke out into full gallop.
"Are you alright?" Gaia asked in a half yell as they rode up the path even further while still under attack.
"Thank you, I'm alright! But that won't remain true much longer if we can't stop their attack!"
A Blue-Winged Crown swooped down suddenly and attacked with its flames burning Yugi's left leg. Yugi yelped in pain as Gaia struck the giant bird with his lance, sending it crashing to the ground dead. As Yugi looked down at the burn on his leg in pain he got an idea. He looked through his deck one more time:
"Curse of Dragon take flight! Attack them with your dragon flame!"
The Blue-Winged Crowns soon turned into ashes as the Curse of Dragon attacked. The horde retreated as the Curse of Dragon chased them away, turning them to ashes in the sky, leaving Yugi and Gaia alone on the path to the temple. Yugi caressed his wound with his left hand as he ripped off a piece of his shirt with his right. As they trotted onward Yugi took the chance to thank Gaia for saving him. Gaia accepted his thanks humbly with a grateful smile. It still felt strange for Yugi to see his duel monsters alive as he was, strange but also gratifying somehow.
As the day began to leave the sky, Yugi couldn't help but think of Yami. The last night they had spent together was unforgettable, and Yugi longed to hold Yami in his arms once again. As he relived the memory in his mind he did not notice they had stopped. Gaia prodded Yugi to get his attention, and as Yugi quickly regained his composer, Gaia could tell by his face that he was thinking of his beloved Yami. After helping Yugi off the horse, Gaia began to guide through him through a path leading into some kind pond a few feet away.
"Here we must treat your wound, Yugi. There is a hot spring here that has very strong healing properties," Gaia said as they came to the hot spring.
The spring gave off an inviting scent of wild flowers in the spring, making Yugi feel somehow more at ease. Gaia told Yugi to rest here and to put his leg into the warm water, and then turned back up the path to take care of his horse. Yugi was grateful he had Gaia to aid him, but was glad all the more for the few moments of privacy. As he took off his shoes he remembered how he had taken off all of his clothing the last time and went swimming with Yami. As Yugi reminisced he found himself caught in a bittersweet moment, of both great joy and sorrow. A tear escaped his eyes, trickled down his face and fell into the spring. Suddenly, Yugi looked on in amazement as his reflection changed in the rippling water, to the face of Yami himself. Without warning the image of Yami sprang to life as a body made out of water, and suddenly rose from the surface of the spring, becoming solid flesh. Yami stood and smiled in front of a dazzled Yugi, wearing only a pair of pants and the Millennium Puzzle. And without a word, like in Yugi's dream, Yami began to sing once more:
Turn around and smell what you don't see Close your eyes ... it is so clear Here's the mirror, beyond what you see On both ways you can get in . . .
Don't think twice before you listen to your heart Follow the trace for a new start . . .
What you need and everything you'll feel Is just a question of the seal In the eye of the storm, you'll see a lonely dove The experience of survival is the key To the gravity of love. . .
Try to think about it... Here's the chance to live our lives and discover What it is, what's the gravity of love.
But when you're in the eye of storm Just think of the lonely dove The experience of survival is the key To the gravity of love.
As Yami sang the song, neither one looked away from each others eyes. When Yami finished, the silence became so deafening that Yugi dared not look away from his lovers gaze. Yami moved closer to Yugi, planting a sweet kiss one the innocent ones lips. Yugi closed his eyes at that one perfect moment feeling Yami's lips against his once more, but then they were gone. Yugi opened his eyes immediately and saw that Yami had turned into a body of water once more, and then evaporated into the air like steam.
Yugi looked down in sadness as another tear escaped his eyes, only to see his lover's reflection looking at him once again in the spring. As the tear hit the water once more the rippling began once more erasing all trace of Yami from the water, leaving only Yugi's face. For one precious moment he felt Yami as he had truly been before, warm and loving. But . . . instead of feeling even sadder, Yugi felt stronger than before, and somehow knew that he would resurrect Yami, one way or another. Yugi stood up and found his burn completely healed. With his shoes on his feet once again he walked back down the path and found Gaia waiting for him, along with Curse of Dragon.
Gaia had taken his saddle of his horse and put it on the Curse of Dragon. As Yugi approached he saw Gaia's horse sweetly licking the Curse of Dragon's head. Yugi smiled at this, glad to see that such a comforting sight. Without word Gaia put Yugi on the Curse of Dragon and then climbed on as well. They took off into the night's sky, heading towards an unknown destiny, but Yugi only smiled as he knew Yami was with him.
