(Yami's POV)
I quickly turned my head starring at the door in utter confusion. "Who in the Holy Name of Ra would come here at 3 in the morning?" I thought and then paused,.. "Wait...could it be them? Did they follow us?" I mentally told myself and decided it would better to be safe then sorry. So I ran up the stairs as the knocking persisted, growing even louder. I returned down stairs with the baseball bat that Joey-San had given to aibou. I approached the door and as I turned the knob my grip on the bat became tighter. I opened the door and got "God Yami! What's with the Baseball bat?! Don't you trust me anymore?!" I let out a sigh of relief as a very pissed off Mai entered my home. She walked over into the living room and Sat down in the only open recliner. "Yami, Tell me what is Wheeler's Kid sister and the Midget Kaiba doing here?" She asked sounding a bit confused, but still annoyed. I walked in the room and sat down on the end of the couch, and looked her in the eyes. "They just are." I snapped at her, sounding a bit cold. "Geez Yami, lighten up.I just got here ya know. So How's Yugi?" She asked in her usual cocky tone, and when she said those words that sadness filled my heart again. I had forgotten or at least blocked out all of those awful times, but She needed to know. My eyes filled with sorrow and dropped to the floor as she said those words. Mentioning my Aibou. "He's dead." I quietly mumbled under my breath, trying not to cry. "Huh, Yami dear You have to speak up I didn't hear you." She replied, and I pulled my head up and looked her in her eyes. "I said He's Dead!" I shouted at her and I could feel tears running down my cheeks again. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry Yami. What happened?" She said in a tone that had some caring behind it. My head dropped to the floor again as I began to cry harder. "Oh Yami, Come here Hun. You need a hug?" She said as she walked over to me and wrapped me in her arms, and I just cried on her shoulder. "It's ok Yami. It's ok. I know It's gotta be hard for you. I'm so sorry." Mai comforted, "But tell me what happened?" She carried on, and I pulled away from her wiping the tears from my eyes. "It's been Almost two months since he died. and every day I miss him even more. Well It was a Saturday and Aibou, Joey, and I were Gunna go visit Ryou right? Well Aibou got kidnapped and I went after, only to get myself captured. We come to find out that Marik and Bakura were the ones behind it, and Marik had challenged me to a duel." I explained, hating every moment of remembering those horrid times. "A duel eh? So did ya sick the Dark Magician on his ass?" Mai said in her typical cocky yet intrigued tone. "No Mai, not that kind of duel. The duels from Ancient Egypt. A duel of blades." I continued. "Oh, So how'd that turn out? You didn't except did you?" She asked. "Well You see Mai, I had no choice, I either excepted or died. So Marik and I fought and exchanged blows, He cut me I cut him. He got more hits in than I did, so when I fell, I went to bring myself back up, That's when it happened. Aibou took Marik's blade to the stomach, he gave his life for mine. (At this point I had broke down crying again) And then Joey and the rest of them found me and life went on. Let me tell ya, Aibou's funeral was not easy to attend." I carried on, trying my hardest to stop crying. "I'm so sorry Yami, You went through hell and back. I wish I was in town then I would have helped anyway I that could have. So how are the others?" She said trying to comfort me, but more of trying to get me off the topic of Aibou. "I don't know. Tristan was over earlier with Joey and Tea. Joey looked like he was in another fight, and Tea wasn't conscious. But all in all they looked ok. Kaiba on the other hand I'm not too sure about. I saw on the news that there was a car accident, 5 people, but only one was identified." "Yeah who was it?" She asked. "Kaiba." "What?! Oh my god!!! So I take it that's why the twerp is here." She shouted, and I nodded confirming a yes. "The poor Kid. So Yami, tell me. Why IS Serenity here?" Mai asked, and I looked her straight in the eyes. "Simple when I went over there to Get Mokuba, she was there babysitting for Him, and I wasn't gunna just leave her." "Oh. Well that explains a lot, but I mean why didn't she just go home?" she asked sounding a bit confused. " Well actually I never really gave her the option. But called, Joey but nobody answered. The phone just kept ringing and ringing." I replied, trying to clear some of the confusion. "Oh." Is all she said. I turned and looked at the clock, it now read "4:57" 'Man it's late.' I thought, and then turned back to, Mai. "Mai, you can stay here if you want. Just sleep there. I'm going to bed, I'll see you in the morning ok?" I told her, and she nodded. "Good Night Yami-San." "Good Night Mai-Chan." And I got up and walked up to Aibou's room and stopped before entering. Instead I walked down to Grandpa's room and got a blanket from his bed. He wasn't in town anyway, so what did it matter? I walked back down stairs, to find Mai had already made herself at home, and fallen asleep. I just smiled, and lied blanket on her and went back up stairs to bed. I walked in the room and crawled into bed, next to aibou, who instantly clung to me. His head on my chest, and arms around my waist. I smiled at I lied there, and wrapped my arm around My aibou and brought him close to me. "Yami-San." He cooed softly, in his sleep. I leaned my head down next to his and closed my eyes and fell asleep.
(??????'s POV)
I stood there, in the dead of night. Night was cold and dank, with a cold wind blowing against my skin. I was only a few blocks from Kame Games. I could see it from where I stood. I stared up to the 2nd story window and glared into it, thinking, 'Just you wait Pharaoh. I'll get you yet. I will make you suffer. I promise you that.' The wind blew my hair swaying in it, as I heard a voice go through my head. 'Very good my subject. Now go there and do as I've ordered.' I only responded, 'Yes Master.'
