Kiyama: As you can see, two chapters for the price of one. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well and please leave a review or flame, whichever you choose.

--Time Three: Forgive


"Why?" Yuugi lifted his face from the pillow, just so far that Atemu could hear him, "Why did I do that to him?" His cheeks were a rosy blush with tear streaks all down them, much more than the incident not so long ago. "How could I do that to him?" He yelled at himself, choking on his sobs. "I should have believed him. I should I have listened, it wasn't his fault… He would never do anything to hurt me…" Yuugi put his face back into the already soaked pillow and cried into it.

"Aibou…" Atemu spoke with tears in his eyes. "I'm right there…" He reached for the glass of the window, stretching out his palm as he desperately tried to get to the one he loved the most but he pulled back his hand reluctantly and closed his eyes. "Please…please don't cry…" He whispered.

Seto stared at Atemu, his ancient, dead, and decayed heart throbbed for them both. Never before had he felt this way since he had loved… her. So long ago he loved one he could never have and now she had disappeared, she could be dead, he wandered the earth for her and still nothing. Now kept pretending he had never known her, he had never known her love for him or his love for her.

"Do you wish to go back to him?" Seto asked Atemu as he looked up at the full moon in the sky for a brief moment.

"I do." Atemu said as he lifted his head and looked in at his suffering hikari.

"Very well then." Seto said with a defeated tone to his voice. Atemu closed his eyes as he felt the air whip around his body once more but just as quickly he felt it all just unexpectedly stop. When he opened his eyes, he did not find himself in the room he had woken up in before. He stumbled backwards finding that he was standing up, wearing the same clothes he had left in before Seto had taken him, but his black jacket draped over his right arm.

Looking before him, Atemu saw the door to the room he and Yuugi slept in so many times before. He reached for the door knob, his hand shaking as he heard Yuugi's sobs through the door. Griping the handle, he leaned his ear against the door listening. Yuugi's sniffles could be heard on the other side of the door.

"How could I ever suspect him like that?" Yuugi whimpered. Atemu could not allow his hikari to subject himself to this guilt any longer. He turned the handle and swung the door open, immediately embracing Yuugi, taking his body into his arms, slipping his fingers into the messy hair of Yuugi's head. His own tears filled his closed eyes as he held his lover tightly against his body.

"Please… please Aibou, don't cry… I'm here now… I'm sorry…" Atemu whispered as his tears fell silently fell down his cheeks. Yuugi's hands slowly gripped onto the soft fabric of Atemu's shirt as he released his tears, his cries, his sobs, letting his shoulders shake.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to –"

"Shh…" Atemu shushed him, "Don't worry… I know but it's all going to be alright…" Atemu rubbed Yuugi's back gently, the shuddering of Yuugi's shoulders, his sniffles, his bawling, all slowly quieted with the strokes and embrace of his significant other. Yuugi wrapped his arms around Atemu's waist, his ear against his yami no tenshi, hearing his heart beat and allowing it to soothe him. To him it was a beautiful beat he always loved to hear. But there was another something that he loved to hear…

"Ate… will you sing to me?" Yuugi breathed in deeply and then exhaled, his back shuddered. A smile slowly came upon his partner's face, his heart feeling whole and warm as he looked down at his little one.

"On the ground… with my world… upside down – I got a vision of your face…" Yuugi closed his eyes, listening to the song Atemu knew he held dear. "And I must… get me out… for so many – memories we've yet to make…" So content in his arms; Atemu would never let him come to any harm in these arms. "God don't send to me your angels… I just wanna hear you say again…"

And now Yuugi will never leave those arms ever again.

"Forever Love… Say you'll love… Digame, Digame…"


"Ki-Kisara…"

Seto looked through the window from the tree branch he stood upon, he watched as Atemu comforted his loved one. It made him remember her again and it made him do something that he hadn't done in so long. Tears were filling his eyes, he was silently crying for her, guilt rushing around inside him for all he had done since he lost her. He had tried so hard to find her but he lost hops and he gave up and tried to forget it all.

"Why… why am I doing this?" He looked at his hands as his tears fell down his cheeks, "How could I do that to her? How could I just try to forget my pain and… forget all we shared…" His tears just kept falling down his tear-stained face. His hands slowly came to his face and he kept as himself over and over, Why do I do these things?

"Seto…?"

That voice! He sharply turned around, lifting his head from his hands.

And there he saw her and there she was, right before him she stood with an angelic glow around her form. It was a form she had taken those many thousands of years ago, right before his eyes she had changed. She had become one with the mystical beast, a white dragon with blue eyes, as she had. She had grown features of the dragon but she still had a humane form. He stood there, in shock as she floated in the air, levitating with her one complete wing widespread.

"Seto… Is it really you…?" Her eyes were so soft and full of happiness, even though they were so different, he could see how truly glad she was to see him. "It's been so long since we last– " Seto had out stretched his arms around her body, pulling her being towards him, embracing her, not caring of her appearance or what she had become. "–met…"

Kisara smiled and brought her arms up around his back, she ran her fingers through his silky brown hair, absentmindedly as she rested her head on his shoulder. He still felt so warm against the cold skin of her upper body and she still felt so content in his arms after leaving them for centuries.

"I've missed you… so much…" Seto whispered into her ear.

"So have I… And for that… I am extremely sorry." She pulled away looking into his tear dried eyes. She smiled weakly at him, her eyes now filled with pain. "I left you in fear for myself. I left you alone. I watched you suffer. I never came back… and I never did anything to ease your pain." Her two different eyes filled with ice frozen tears. "I… can never be forgiven… for what I have done." She kept smiling and letting her icy tears fall.

Seto shook his head and grasped her pale shoulders.

"No… I kept trying to push you out of my thoughts, pretending I never loved you, telling myself I never knew you. I tried to replace you, I attempted to love others…make them love me. I even went after the same gender when all else failed." Seto briefly looked back at the window of the Mutou's residence before looking back at Kisara with his face so full of pain and guilt. She could only smile at him, into his azure blue eyes.

"I know… But you were lost… heartbroken… and I am to blame for it." Seto embraced her again, his tears falling on her bare shoulder. Kisara could only wrap her arms around him, her hands gripping onto his shoulders. Her wing covered him protectively, silently crying with him.

"…Forgive and Forget…all that matters is that we are together now…" She smiled and kissed his cheek gently, just as she had long, long ago. Lifting his head, Seto stared into her eyes for a moment, getting lost with their icy glaze before he reached down and captured her lips with his. Their lips overlapped again and again before they both pulled away, inhaling deeply and they stood nose to nose.

"Aishite'ru Kisara…" They both smiled, their tears slowly drying up.

"Aishite'ru nimo...Seto." Embracing her once more, their body disappeared in an instant with a flash of light… leaving no trace behind…

End of Time Three--


A bit OOC but get over it, this is my fanfic and I wrote it this way - deal with it. BTW, if you would like to have an idea what happened to Kisara you can go to my profile, go to my DeviantART page and find it, it's the most recent one titled, Risen In Death. Flames welcome. :3
