Laughing in the Dark

And the end

And explanations

All is well

Right?

So in the end...

I'm back to doing Yugioh,

After a slight break

I'll be constantly fluctuation between Zelda and YGO

But I'm finishing this fic!

All rejoice!

Mew!

There are wolves in the walls

But that will be a fic for another time!

Hope you enjoyed the fic thus far

Sayonara for now!

Laughing in the Dark

The End of the Battles

And so they linked their hands and danced

Round in circles and in rows

And so the journey of the night descends

When all the shades are gone

When Yugi and Yami awoke, they were back at home. Noa had packed up her borrowed blades to return them to the shop. She was ready to leave them, to move on to the next frontier. She stopped when she heard them come to the doorway.

"Come to see me off? Or to make me stay?" She asked, closing her eyes briefly before turning to them.

"I have a few unanswered questions." Yami said.

"Shoot."

"What happened in the past to make you seek redemption?"

Noa threw her head back and laughed. She could see this question coming. The Bone King probably slipped something to make them question her.

"I slaughtered innocents." She said, almost like she was talking about a movie instead of her past deeds.

A silence fell over them, like everyone was in shock. Yugi exploded into questions and frantic expression. Yami's hand flew to his head, as if he could see the performance of dancing blood and bones and flesh as the great Chrinos of Noa cavorted through them in a whirl of rage. Noa silenced the questions and spoke.

"I was young, tempted by the darker side of the spiritual world. I killed them, having been told that they would make be stronger. But instead, they made me crazed. When I came around, I sought redemption for my sins. Then I found you."

"But why..."

"Why did I hate you at first? I saw much of the old me in you."

Noa picked up the case of knives and turned to the door.

"I must leave now. I'm still seeking salvation for the sins I have committed." She said before leaving.

Yugi turned to Yami.

"I hope she finds what she seeks." Yugi said.

"As do I."

The two stared out at the crescent moon that night, and in the twilight of their dreams, they saw Noa once again.

Short, but an end!

Bye!
