AN: YEAH!! 6th chappy of Innocence!! Dudeness.. Ok, first of all, sorry Wildwolf, but

my storyline didn't fit with that song. But I did consider it! I looked at the lyrics,

then I downloaded it and listened to it, but it didn't fit right. Sorry! I decided on

'Here I Am' even though I already have a Spirit song in here, because it was so perfect.

You'll see what I mean at the end of the chapter. so anywayz, On with the fic!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*"Here I am,"*

Joey looked at the survivor in disbelief.

*"This is me,"*

Yami blinked again, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him.

*"There's nowhere else on earth,

I'd rather be,"*

He smiled at them, his golden bangs blowing in the slight breeze.

"I new you'd find me.. I new you'd save me.. Yami.." the raspy voice fell from his lips.

*"Here I am,"*

Tears fell from Yami's eyes, as he pushed away from Joey, stumbling foreward, and falling,

only to envelope the small one in a protective hug.

"I missed you, Yugi.."

*"It's just me and you,"*

The two sat there, happy to see and feel each other again, oblivious to the stares. They

only knew of eachother.

*"Tonight we make our dreams

come true."*

"Yami.. I missed you so much." Yugi cried out. Yami smiled at him, and it was now, that

the dark one noticed the cuts on his hikari, and the blood still dripping out of the

openings.

Yugi could see the tears building in Yami's eyes, and his smile faded.

"Yami.. I'll be ok.. I promise.." He whispered, "And tonight, when I'm home with you, we'll

not dream, for our every move, being together, will be our dreams come true.."

*"It's a new world,

It's a new start,

It's alive with the

beating of a young heart,"*

Yami drove his hikari to the hospital. Yugi had to be okay before he could come home, right?

He stared out at the world, like it was new. Just like the song sai. It was a new world, now that Yugi

was back in his arms. A new start to life, life that could only be lived alongside the pure heart of his

loving hikari.

*"It's a new day,

It's a new plan

I've been waiting for you,"*

Yugi Smiled over at his Yami. He ached all over, and the blood caked his sides and his arms. He was starting

to feel woozy, the blood loss getting to him. See, before, the cause of the injusries had mostly still been

in the wounds, so it stopped most of the blood from leaking, like a plug. But now, the only thing holding in

the crimson liquid which held his life, was a piece of Yami's shirt. But Yugi didn't care. He was out. Free,

finally, from that horrible place, under the rocks. He had a real day ahead of him. He had to think of something

to do. He had to think up a new plan. He looked at Yami again, whispering,

"I waited for you Yami.. Like I promised.."

*"Here I am."*

"I'm here now. And so are you. I'll never leave you again."

*"Here we are,

we've just begun,

and after all this time,

Our time has come."*

Yami and Yugi talked the whole way to the hospital. They talked about the war, how much they missed each other.

The same things any one would talk about, had they been in the pair's shoes. But one thing still tugged at the

back of Yami's mind. Yugi should have died under there. And multiple times, Yami himself should have died during

it had been their time over, and over. Or at least Yami's. Yet here they were. Their time, to be together.

*"Yeah, here we are,

still goin strong,

Right here in the place,

where we belong."*

Yugi looked at Yami as the pharaoh described the time he came closest to death, when he had been left out in the

battle feild, because no one thought he would live through the night. But Yami had crawled back to camp, badly

wounded, so they bandaged him up, and miraculously, he lived. They both lived. It boggled Yugi almost as much as

it boggled Yami. But they were still alive. In each others arms. In Domino City. The only thing that could be

better, is if Ryou, Mai, and Serenity were still around.

*"It's a new world,

It's a new start,

It's alive with the

beating of a young heart,

It's a new day,

It's a new plan

I've been waiting for you,

Here I am."*

They arrived at the hospital, and ran into Bakura, surprisingly enough. Yami was over joyed to see not only his hikari,

but the tomb robber, too? Bakura had disappeared shortly after Yami started digging around Kaiba Corp. ruins, and no one

had seen him. Yet, here he was now. Bakura turned to them, his eyes filled with tears, though he smiled broadly.

"I told you you'd find him Yami. I told you so." He told the pharaoh. Yami nodded, smiling back, though still upset the

tomb robber was without his hikari.

"I'm sorry you have to go on with out Ryou, Bakura.." Yami said, sorrow in his voice. But Bakura shook his head at the

gloomy spirit.

"No, I don't." Yami's head shot up at Bakura's words. The tomb robber's smile widened.

"Ryou's here." Yugi looked up from his place in Yami's protective arms.

"B-but.. They found his body, it was on the news. With a letter, I assumed was for you.." He said weakly, his eyebrows

knitted in frustration, as Bakura started to lead them to Ryou's room. They reached room 'A359' and Bakura opened the door.

"*Here I am,"*

Ryou stared at them from his hospital bed. He blinked once, and tears flooded his eyes almost imediatly.

*"This is me,"*

Yugi stared at his white haired, hospital bound friend. His tears fell silently down his cheeks, and he asked Yami to let

him down. Once on the floor, Yugi stumbled over to Ryou, almost falling many times, and having Yami support him.

*"There's nowhere else on earth,

I'd rather be,"*

Bakura now stood on the other side of Ryou's bed, and as the two friends, Yugi and Ryou, stared into each others eyes,

confirming each others existance, the tomb robber felt tears of his own sliding down his cheeks. Tears of happoness; he had

found his hikari, the one who meant the most to him; The pharaoh, one of his best friends now, had found his hikari as

well; all they needed was to find Mokuba, and.. Serenity and Mai.. They were dead.. They wern't coming back.. Ever. Damn.

But he had his hikari. That was enough for him.

Ryou wiped his tears away, leaning forward and hugging his crying, amazed friend. He was so happy. He held Yugi tightly,

as best friends do, and only one thought ran through his mind; There was no place, like home.

*"Here I am,

it's just me and you,

Tonight we make our dreams,

come true.

Oh!

It's a new world,

It's a new start,

It's alive with the

beating of a young heart,

It's a new day,

It's a new plan

I've been waiting for you,

Here I am.

It's a new world,

It's a new start,

It's alive with the

beating of a young heart,

It's a new day,

It's a new plan

I've been waiting for you,

Here I am."*

A doctor came and took a long examination of both Yugi and Ryou. Yami and Bakura paced around the waiting room for hours,

just waiting to se, make sure, that the dream they had woken up to, wasn't about to fade away.

*~Yami's POV~*

I can't believe it; Yugi's alive! And so is Ryou! This day just keeps getting better. Maybe we'll even find Mokuba! That

would mae Seto so happy.. But Joey... Mai died.. and Serenity.. Ra, that sucks.. But still, Yugi's here. Alive. And so is

Ryou. Bakura. And so am I. We can start over. Hopefully, we'll have the chance..

*~Bakura's POV~*

^____________________________________________________________^

*~Normal POV~*

Finally, hours later, the doctor stepped out of the room, his face unreadable. Yami jumped up, and nearly pinned the guy to

the wall, demanding how Yugi was. Bakura, slightly shocked, though fully understanding Yami's point, just sorta stood back

for once, leaving the former pharaoh to traumatize the doctor. Besides, he was having fun! ^______^

"Mutou Yugi, and Bakura Ryou, are both alright. Yugi has a few bruised bones, but nothing broken. He can go home, but there

can't be any pressure on his rib cage, since he has two bruised ribs. Ryou is perfectly fine, exepct for some slight

emiciation[1], as you probably noticed, so he can go home as well. He just needs food in his system." The doctor struggled

out of Yamis grip, and walked away quickly, giving the pair weird looks.

*"Here I am."*

Yami walked intot he room, where both Ryou and Yugi were, picked up his hikari, and walked out, as Bakura followed suit.

The pair went to the old Game Shop, and called everyone else, except Tristan.

*"This is me."*

"Aishiteru, Yami no Watashi. And I will never leave you." Yugi whispered to Yami as his friends arrived, and he fell into a

light slumber, in his dark one's arms.

[1] Emiciation-I dunno if I spelt it right, but emiciation is when a person or animal becomes really really thin.

A/N: I know, this took me forever. You probably all hate me now, huh? ;_; I'm sorry!! I was really busy this summer, and I

had trouble writing this chapter.. I'm gonna finish this fic pretty quick, and then I might do a sequel, depending on how

many people want me to do a sequel. But if I do, do a sequel, then I'll drop the song-fic base on it. I was thinkin I might

just drop the song-fic base on it now.. but decided nope. ^_^ Anywho, I'll get started on the next chapter, ASAP, while

you guys reveiw, ok? Sound good? I thought so too..

Yami: So please review!! ^__^ Then I get chocolate!!

Yugi: Yeah, me too!! ^________^

Alina: not that they need it...
