Haku: -sniff-

Y. Haku: ...?

Yami: -sniff- Alternate ending. -Sniff-

Y. Haku: Oh.

Haku: As Yami said, this is the alternate ending to the Black Hikari. It is the reason why I was crying so much in the first chapter, and what I originally had planned.

Y. Haku: It didn't get put up though, due to the amazing demand for a happy ending, the story was not turned into a tragedy. This is merely here for those who wanted to know what the other ending was.

Yami: Keep in mind, that this is NOT the ending. If it were the ending, we'd have to flee from angry reviewers, -coughsummercough- and would be six feet under by now.

Haku: If that's settled, on to the...

Autumn Ann Star- NO SUMMER! DON'T KILL YAMI!!!!

Yami: Eeep!

Haku: I'm afraid that's the end of this particular fic, though if you want to read the Sequel (Losta YYxY fluff though, Summer might not like it) it's called The Light in the Darkness, and it's not as Yami and Yugi centric as this one was.

~~~ ALTERNATE ENDING:

Down to the very last drop.

~~~

}Hikari! Come back to the light!{ It was cold, and he was so sleepy. The black was overwhelming, swimming through his senses. Each passing second, it consumed a little more of him, taking him into its depths. Part of him knew the voice that called, though feelings towards it... were feelings he didn't recognise, feelings that had already been consumed by the tiring cold around him. He tried to move towards it, but his limbs were heavy. Too heavy to move. His tired and aching body refused to move towards the voice, so he let himself fall a little more into the blackness, enjoying it's cold feel of the wind, lustfully playing across his face.

{Too hard to go back... So sleepy...} he felt the dark tugging at him gently, caressing his body like a lover, pulling him away from the slowly fading light.

}NO Hikari! Don't go!{ There was that funny voice again. Strange, what did it want? Seemed silly to Yugi, he needed sleep, he was so tired. Why did this voice insist on trying to stop him sleeping? That was all he wanted... Familiar arms wrapped themselves around him, cradling him as a mother cradles a child.

"It's alright my dear Yugi, sleep now. It's time to sleep." Yugi snuggled instinctively into the ghostly body. The boy's eyelids drooped, Sugoruku looked at the boy's form and smiled, ghostlike body slowly fading with Yugi's. "Good boy Yugi."

~~~

Sirens blared around Yami as he ran next to the stretcher that contained the limp and slowly fading body of his Hikari. Screaming voices echoed around him, and he felt his connection to the boy once again fading.

His heart was shattering along with the briefly restored link. His Hikari was leaving him.

"We need an IV stat!"

"Get us some life support here! He's going critical!"

"Come on, don't leave us!"

Yami was held back by three nurses, who were struggling against him as Yugi was wheeled into an emergency ward. The doors swung closed after the doctors, and Yami was forced to look through a small window in the door, at Yugi's body, now on a cold steel table.

~~~

The ominous and irregular 'blip' of a heart beat monitor sounded through the near silence of the room. The doctor, a burly man was slowly inserting a hypodermic needle into the small boy's wrist artery. The boy's already pale features were becoming ashen and were draining of the slight colour they had. Suddenly, the monitor next to him flared up to a fevered pitch the blip that went with it becoming a high pitched whine. Panicked doctors tried to soothe and slow the heartbeat, but... One long and threatening computerised note rang through the ward.

"Doctor! He's flat lining!"

"No!" The doctor grabbed the cardiac revivers. "Clear!" Pressing the two pad like implements to the boy's chest, he watched as the boy jolted, but the monitor still showed a flat line.

"Clear!" Another jolt of electricity passed through the body. Still there was no reaction from the monitor.

"Clear!" The doctor said, in a now choked and panicked voice. Yet again, no reaction.

"Doctor, we've lost him." A teary eyed nurse next to him commented.

Grim faced, the male looked at his watch, and spoke in a dull monotone,

"Time of Death? 0200 Hours."

~~~

Haku: -cries quietly-

Yami: -is teary eyed- Remember, that wasn't the actual ending, just the ending we would have given you if you had let us go tragic. R and R.
