sorry about leaving you hanging like that, this is my first time with successful a multi chapter fic and the last few I've tried turned out raunchy so let's see how this goes, wish me luck pls. .

Deep inside, Yami wasn't sure what he should do, then all at once it hit him, he had to go after Bakura he couldn't let him get away with hurting an innocent girl like Aelita. Then Bakura came up. Aelita started to run but Yami grabbed her wrist, he knew it wasn't safe for her to run.

"Bakura, what did you want with this particular girl?" Yami demanded in anger, the fear Aelita held towards Bakura had almost sent him over the edge.

Aelita looked into the determined eyes of the young man that had been so kind to her now looking so furious.

"Oh, it's quite simple, I met up with a being on the computer yesterday that told me if I got rid of her he'd help me get the Millennium Items" Bakura replied with a sly grin that gave Aelita the creeps.

"Xana" she muttered terror creeping into her heart.

"What!?!" Yami said in rage "you were willing to torment a helpless girl JUST for MILLENNIUM ITEMS! Your more cold-blooded than I thought!".

Aelita felt bad about pulling Yami into this, he had been so kind to her in listening and not being critical of her, she had been too upset to tell her friends, but he was neutral, he hadn't been emotionally involved but he didn't keep his emotions out of the issue as a matter of fact he had held her through a crying spell, he was strong and she felt that but he was one of those people who doesn't ask for anything in return for services of kindness given, they just do so out of the goodness of their hearts. Then after everything was said and done Yami turned back to Aelita.

"I think its best you head on home, I'm sure your family is worried about you"

"I-I'm sure they are" Aelita replied

"I'll walk you home, okay?"

"Okay, thank you Yami"

"No problem"

They walked down the street towards the Ishyama house.

"I wonder where she went?" Jeremy said in concern.

"Yeah, I don't know what I'll do if anything has happened to her" Yumi replied "I was suppose to be watching out for her"

"Don't worry Yumi, if she's as lucky here as she is in Lyoko she probably met up with some good person who will walk her back" Ulrich said not knowing the truth in his words because not 5min. after he said that Yami and Aelita came walking up the road.

"Aelita!" Jeremy exclaimed

"Jeremy" she ran into his arms tears again welling in her eyes, this had been a long day and she was tired, yet at the same time she was happy, everything had turned out good.

"Yami" a voice whispered

"Téa" he said unsure if it was her.

"I'm proud of you" she said and walked up to his side "you helped that girl without question as to whether or not it was the right thing to do"

"Well, it felt right, it was as if my heart was telling me that was the right thing to do"

"So you took someone's advice for once and just followed your heart" she smiled and kissed his cheek, he blushed a light red. He watched Aelita and her friends laughing and smiling. They started inside.

"I'll be in in a minute" she said "I've got one more thing to do".

"Okay Aelita, I don't want anything else to happen to you" Yumi said like the protective older sister that she was. Aelita walked over to Yami and Téa

"Well, I guess this is goodbye" Yami smiled (an: sort of, you know his smirk, not really a smile per say... oh whatever, I'm rambling, lol ).

"Yes, I guess" Aelita replied "thanks again..." she looked at Téa and smiled. She said her good-byes and went inside with her friends.

"Well, this has been a good day" Téa said.

"Yes it certainly has" Yami replied.

They walked away, knowing that for now, another person was safe from evil and for another time, good has conquered evil. They didn't know about what would happen the next time, but they were ready. They'd always be ready for anything that evil could throw at him.

The End
