"You O.K.?" Yami tapped Yukai's shoulder. Yukai opened her eyes. Her Sennen Eye had now faded into a thing of the past.
"Yami?" Yukai asked sourly as she stood up. Yukai then noticed his wings and softly gasped. Yami helped Yukai out of the debris and held her tight.
Yami sighed. "Yukai...will you listen to me now?" Yukai was too tired to answer or even get away from him so she simply nodded. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you back there and I didn't mean to scare you either. I didn't mean what I said, I didn't mean to throw you, and I didn't mean any of it."
Yukai nodded. "I'm sorry as well. And, forgiven."
"As you are." Yami held Yukai from him and knelt to her level, looking into her eyes with pure passion for her. "Can you tell me why I saved you and why I kissed you?" Yukai thought for a second and then shook her head. She hadn't heard his confession earlier. Yami sighed. Yami gave her a meek smile and wrapped his wings around Yukai, putting them both into a soft cocoon of feathers.
Yukai looked into his eyes, hers filled with confusion. "Yami, why did you kiss and save me?"
Yami gave her a sweet smile. "How could I do anything else? I love you, Yukai. I don't want anything to ever harm you."
Yukai allowed herself to be pulled into his strong arms once more. Yami held her lovingly; she was the most important thing to him...aside from one other thing, his little brother who had disappeared long ago. Yukai looked up to her Pharaoh with a soft smile on her lush lips. Yami returned the smile with his own, his own rare soft smile that only few have ever seen.
"Now, what do you say we get back to the Pharaoh?" Yami asked, ruffling Yukai's bangs gently. Yukai giggled and nodded. Yami folded back his wings and wrapped his arms around Yukai. "Better hang on." Yukai meekly smiled, but wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Uh...Pharaoh, you should know that I'm scared of highs..." Yukai pointed out to Yami a moment later.
"Then just burry your head into my neck plate, it shouldn't be long." Yami said. He flew up as Yukai closed her eyes and pressed her forehead against his neck plate.
Later, that evening, Yami landed at the Pharaoh's front doors and walked on in. He let go of Yukai, as she let go of him and followed him in through the halls. Yami walked back to his bedroom and turned to Yukai. "Yukai?" Yukai looked at him. "Why don't you sleep in my room tonight? I bet it's gonna be warmer then the Servant's Corridors."
Yukai shook her head. "No, thanks, Pharaoh. It is against—"
"Against what? Oh!" Yami nodded his head up and down. "Against the rules." He shook his head playfully. "That musta slipped my mind..." Yami held his head still and gave a playful, mischievous grin to Yukai. "C'mon in!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the room, closed the door and pushed her back against it all in one movement. Yami had his hands on either side of Yukai's shoulders. "You may not be allowed in, but who am I to care?"
Yukai shook her head, smiling at the Pharaoh. His attempts to go against every single Pharaoh rule ever made were downright...hilarious! Yami walked over to his huge bed and pulled down the covers and climbed in. He yawned and flopped back against the pillow.
He then tipped his head to Yukai. "You gonna sleep by the door?"
Yukai gave him a playful mean pout-like smile. "No. I'm going to sleep here." She walked over to a corner and lay down.
Yami shook his head smiling. "Suit yourself. Night."
"Good night, Pharaoh."
