Chapter 10: Celebration

To celebrate the victory over Pegasus and the resurrection of Yuugi and Manta, everyone had a barbeque at Yoh's house. Everyone was shocked when Anna cooked the appetizers while Ryu cooked the main course which was sushi, steak, ribs, and yaki soba (fried noodles).

For the entertainment, everyone that wasn't cooking took turns sparring each other, perfecting their skills and abilities. In every battle, the winner was either Yuugi or Yami. Now was the final battle between Yuugi and Yami and the loser would have to sleep on the floor.

"You may want to start picking out a spot on the floor because this battle is mine." said Yuugi.

"Funny, I was about to say the same to you." smirked Yami.

Both summon their ghosts and integrate with them. Yuugi starts off and instantly teleports behind Yami, catching him off guard, and knocks him to the ground with a Dark Magic Attack. Yami lay there motionless for a moment, but Yuugi knew that Yami was faking it. It would take more than one attack to keep Yami down and Yami did not disappoint him as he effortlessly got to his feet and returned the attack, but Yuugi was quicker on the draw and phased out before Yami could strike him.

He reappeared on the ground and cast the Spellbinding Circle on Yami, immobilizing his opponent and weakening him as well. Yuugi gathered only half of his furyoku and concentrated it into one massive attack. Yuugi hurled the attack at Yami and as predicted Black Paladin intercepted it, draining Yami of all his furyoku, surrendering the match to Yuugi

After the fight, Mahaad healed both Yuugi and Yami to full strength and enjoyed the rest of the barbeque. When it was time for bed, as agreed, Yami placed his things on the floor next to Yuugi's bed and changed into his night clothes.

"Goodnight, Yami." said Yuugi.

"Goodnight, Yuugi." said Yami.

As Yuugi fell asleep, Yuugi went up to the roof, sat down, and gazed at the stars in the sky. It had been a while since he had stargazed and now he was at peace. Black Paladin appeared beside him and bowed in respect. Yami turned his head and said,

"Pleasant night this is. Come, sit with me and we can talk."

Black Paladin approached and sat next to Yami.

"Master, now that Yuugi is safe, will there be another when your true demon form resurfaces?"

Yami sighed and said,

"I hope not, for it would worry Yuugi and I might not regain my human form again."

Black Paladin gazed at the stars and said,

"When we battled with Yuugi and Mahaad, I sensed Yuugi's full potential and it was nearly unfathomable. He truly is your rival in power and the most powerful hikari shaman."

Yami smiled inwardly and said,

/ I know and that is what makes me the proudest. /

Yami stood up, saying goodnight to his ghost. Black Paladin stood up, bowed, and disappeared. Yami crept back into the window; it was almost midnight. He walked over to Yuugi and brushed a stray bang from Yuugi's face saying,

"You are my light and my blood brother, but you are also my life. I will protect you always and so will our spirits. You are the best thing that could ever happen to someone like me."

Yami bent down and gave Yuugi a kiss on the cheek, pulled the covers up to keep Yuugi warm, walked over to his 'bed', and went to sleep.

Man, that took forever to type! Well, I hope you enjoyed it and R&R 
