Chapter 29

Recovery, Confusion and Another Encounter

Yami

"Curse you mate! Why'd you 'ave to take 'er too!!!!" he cried while bursting into tears. She's gone...the tears I fought to not shed, came.

"Sam..." I said softly as I kneeled down. Good might have won...but I lost something very important. I moved a stray hair from her face and suddenly Sam lost her black gown and she was wearing her jeans, crimson tee and blue coat once more. I glanced at Varon and he was hysterical, just like Mana. Mahado was sobbing quietly. Varon really does care about Sam, although I don't trust him much at all. He looked at me, tears falling from his eyes.

"I know you love 'er mate...I'm so sorry you never got the chance to say so," he began. "I just wish there was a way to bring her back."

"Where did my brother head off to?" Mana asked after a while. We all looked around and sure enough, he wasn't around. He then appeared in front of us in a cloud of smoke. He looked like he was holding something in his arms...I wonder what its about. "Why did you leave?" Mana asked as she wiped away a stray tear. "We have to work on the sending," she finished. He reached Sam's dead body and bent down, dropping whatever he was holding. Suddenly Sam sat up and opened her eyes. They were still a crimson color that matched my own.

"Sammy!" Varon exclaimed happily. He tried to pull her up but she refused.

"Leave me alone!" she cried out as she got up.

"What's wrong with you?" I cried out in the same manner.

"Leave me alone!" Sam cried out louder. "I'll attack you if you don't!" She was threatening me...why? Doesn't she know who I am?

"What's going on with you? What's the matter with you?" I asked.

"I said leave me alone!" she exclaimed as she dashed towards me, I walked backwards until my back reached the wall. An energy ball was forming in her hand.

"Fine! Attack me!" I cried out. "But there's something I'd like to say before you do!"

"Fine...go...you have ten seconds," she said as she began to count.

"I-I-I," I began...I was stuttering...I couldn't say it...but I have to...it might help her snap back onto her senses.

"On with it!" she yelled at me.

"I-I love you," I said softly.

"Hogwash..." she said, the fiery crimson color in her eyes glowing strong. "You asked for it!" she said as she began the throwing motion but she stopped herself as her eyes caught on something on the wall. Her eyes faded quickly in its normal blue shade as she burst into tears and left the room.

Sam

"I-I love you," said the guy before me softly.

"Hogwash..." I replied. "You asked for it!" I cried out as I prepared to attack him. I looked at the wall and say myself and a guy kissing. I looked back at the guy and noticed that he wasn't some stranger anymore...he was the same guy from the carving. Then everything came together...Yami! What am I doing?!?!?!? I burst into tears and left. I was going to hurt him...I could've killed him! I ran back to the chamber with the bed in it and threw myself on it, crying my eyes out. I can't see him again...I don't want lose control like that. Where do I go? I have to leave them all. I can't do that again with them around. I could've killed the man I love...there's no way he's going to forgive me for that. There has to be a place I can go and never see him again. I'll be in pain the rest of my life but it'll be worth it. They'll all be safe without me around. I know I'm supposed to protect Yami but I can't afford this. I heard people come into the room and someone sat down next to me while the other flipped me over and pinned me down on the bed before I could leave.

"Open you eyes Sam," said a concerned Yami. "Please..." he finished. He sounded like he was in pain. I still hurt him even without the attack.

"Please leave! I don't want to hurt you," I said softly as I opened my eyes. I stared into Yami's eyes and I burst into tears again. He seemed so hurt...how could I have done this?!?!

"Sammy...just listen then," said Varon in the same tone as Yami. I hurt him too...I'm a monster...

"You're anything but..." said Yami as he kissed me gently.

"How did you...?" I asked.

"I read your thoughts...your mind was completely open to me," he whispered in my ear. "Please don't think of yourself as that..."

"Then what?!?!?" I exclaimed. I wanted to leave so badly. I tried to but his hold on me grew. "Look at what I did! And what I almost did to you! What if I hurt you?"

"A girl I know told me not to worry about the 'what if's'," Yami said. I felt a small smile tug at my lips remembering that I once said that. "Please Sam don't do this to yourself. All of this happened because Dartz wanted you to go that far even if it didn't seem like it. You can transform on your own as well and Mahado and Mana are willing to teach you."'

"I can't..." I said softly. It's better if I left anyway...Yami won't care much if I left.

"Yes I will...If you ever left my side I don't know what I'd do...You mean the world to me," Yami said softly.

"Don't let what Dartz said get to ya Sam," Joey said.

"Your our friend Sam. Nothing can change that," said Serenity.

"She's right Sam. Forget what that loser said," said Mai.

"That's all that matters," Mahado finished. I opened my eyes once more and looked into Yami's. He got off me and I sat up on the bed.

"I still think that you should leave," I said softly. I began to cry again, I hated the fact that I scared them and almost hurt them. I needed to think...I couldn't spend much time with than if I feel so angry with myself. They were still at risk. Varon got off the bed and joined that others. I kept on crying...I wanted to let it all out. I don't want to lose control again. Yami sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me. I felt safer but I still don't know what to do.

"Mommy don't cry..." I heard a voice say. I looked up to see a little boy. He had my hair and Yami's piercing crimson eyes.

"Kovu..." Yami said softly.

"Hi daddy!" he exclaimed as he got on the bed and walked over to us. He smiled widely as he sat on my lap. I looked over to the gang and they looked shocked. "Mommy don't cry..." he said as he wiped away a tear. "Please smile..." I did as asked and his face lit up entirely.

"How did you get here?" I asked.

"That doesn't matter...I just want you to sing something for me mommy," he said.

"What do I sing?" I asked. The things I do to keep Kovu happy.

"A song similar to the one you and daddy sang the last time you held me, before you left and never came back," he answered. With a wave of his hand 'Goodbye' began to play.

No, no, no, no

Listen little child

There will come a day

When you will be able

Able to say

Never mind the pain

Or the aggravation

You know there's a better way

For you and me to be

I sang softly, cradling my child in my arms. He seemed to be happy to see me. He just smiled throughout the whole first verse. Yami placed a hand on my shoulder an squeezed it. I could sense his slight confusion. He gained only one memory so far and I know how to help so he can get the others. More tears fell as I kept singing.

Look for the rainbow in every storm

Fly like an angel

Heaven sent to me

Goodbye my friend

(I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)

It's not the end

(Gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)

So glad we made it

Time will never change it

No, no, no

No, no, no, no

Yami's voice joined mine as I kept singing to Kovu. The hand on my shoulder was substituted by his strong arms wrapping themselves around me. Our notes, matching the ones in the song. Different times, different lyrics, same message.

"Daddy..."

Just a little girl

Big imagination

Never letting no one take it away

Went into the world

What a revelation

She found there's a better way

For you and me to be.

Look for the rainbow in every storm

Find out for certain

Love's gonna be there for you

You'll always be someone's baby

We looked up to see a little girl that had Kisara's hair and Kaiba's blue eyes. They didn't have their signature icy glare, they looked so innocent. That's when I remembered who she was.

"Kina," Kaiba said and his eyes widened as he heard what he said. Kina hugged him tightly and he lifted her up, cradling his own child. I looked down to mine and he disappeared but the song was still playing, fading slowly as it did so. Yami let go of me and I brought my knees up, hugging them. I felt someone lift me up and began to rock me gently. I looked up to see familiar crimson eyes and brown hair. Kovu...he looked so big now. I rested my head against his ghostly yet firm chest and enjoyed the moment I had with my son. The song had completely faded and Kovu was still rocking me. Yami joined him after a while, I admit, it looked silly. Father and son cradling their beloved wife and mother in their arms, trying to clam her down. I let out two tears and that's all I could do as Kovu kissed my forehead, making me smile. He let go of me and Yami set me down on my feet. His arms snaked their way around my waist and he pulled me close, my back against his chest. I looked at Kovu again and smiled, he still cared for his own mother even if she wasn't there.

"Hi mom," he said. "Hey dad."

"Kovu...why are you here?" I asked.

"Ra sent me. He knew how badly I wanted you two to see me all grown up. I know I stopped coming to see you as I got older but that doesn't mean I didn't care about you..." he said softly.

"What do you mean by coming to see Sam?" Yami asked.

"She'll explain later dad. Right now I just want to say thank you," he answered.

"What did I do?" I asked.

"You showed me my family, just like Mahado and Mana showed you how to do certain things. You and dad both sacrificed yourselves for me. You were selfless. You either lived to raise me in an abandoned kingdom or died to save it and let me live happily, ruling dad's land which was full of life. I missed you both terribly but every time I came here, you were waiting for me. I would stay here for hours and you would listen to whatever I had to say. You showed me dad, in the puzzle, he was crying at first since he was alone and the shadows tried to claim him many times but you fought for him, just so I could see him and even though it hurt you not to be with him, you gave your all just so he could be safe for the future that needed him," kovu explained.

"You cried when you were first put into the puzzle Yami?" asked Yugi.

"At first all he had were memories but they were soon taken away," I explained.

"By who?" Yami asked.

"The shadows began to feed on your memories so I had to take them away before they lost themselves in the shadows. I also had to ask Kovu to destroy the puzzle...it was a lot safer that way," I explained as tears built up in my eyes again, afraid that Yami would be angry at me but he held me tighter instead.

"I'm just glad it was you, not someone else who did," he said as he gave me a peck on the cheek. "I love you Sam...nothing can change that either."

"One more thing. I never got to say this as a baby but now I can say it...I love you mom and dad. You mean the world to me eve if you never got to raise me properly," Kovu said while embracing us.

"We love you to Kovu," Yami said for the both of us as he embraced him, leaving me stuck in the middle. They parted from the embrace after a short while, allowing me to breathe. Kovu then took Yami's arms and wrapped them around me.

"Dad, take real good care of mom. She's always watched over you. From what I've been told, you did the same but times change and you should really take care of her," Kovu explained.

"I will son...I will," Yami said with a smile.

"Come on Kina...and lose the little girl get up," Kovu said. Kaiba set down the little girl he had been holding. She then instantly changed to be the same age as Kovu in appearcance. She hugged Kaiba, then Yami and then me. She took Kovu's hand and waved at us.

"Bye dad. Bye Auntie Sam and Uncle Yami!" she said. With one last smile, Kovu left with Kina close behind.

Laski: Well....it's just me now since the guys left...but since you're done why not review??? Chapter 30 might be on soon! Until next chappie!
