Chapter 5

After delivering the heart to Aqua, who was very grateful that he took care of Ushio, he headed back to his chambers and saw Yugi was awake and looking out to the full moon. "Is there something wrong, Yugi?" Yami asked as he walked up to him. "I had another dream that showed me the mating practices again but this time it was with you. Do you think they could be telling me something?" Yugi asked and he turned to look to Yami. "They could be. We still haven't found anyone to take our throne just in case we die but you came along. Now, I have such a reaction to you that I don't want to get rid of." Yami said as he placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder.
"I could never bear to be away from you for so long, Yugi, but I know you would want to go back home soon so we'll take care of Pegasus so you can do so." Yami murmured, sounding quite sad at the thought of Yugi leaving. Yugi looked down. He clearly heard the sadness and that made him feel just as bad. He would rather stay in the Shadow Kingdom with Yami and Aqua just like he did in his dreams but he needed to see about his grandfather. But he had a feeling that he would not be alive by the time he got back but he still had hope. 'But if I leave then they would be alone again. They would die because they became tyrants.' Yugi thought, tears coming to his eyes.
Yami saw the glow of the wetness trailing down Yugi's soft cheeks and he wiped them away. "What is it that makes you cry?" Yami asked. Yugi looked up to him. "I don't want to leave you and Aqua but I know I couldn't survive here. I'm human and the whole population of the Shadow Kingdom is demons. I want to stay." Yugi said softly and Yami wrapped his arms around him. "Don't worry, you don't have to leave if you don't want to. We will take care of you, Yugi, and you can stay as long as you want to." Yami whispered. Yugi buried his face in Yami's shirt, crying softly and he comforted the small boy.

In the sky palace, Pegasus waited for report of his missing second in command. Croquet came into the room and bowed before him. "Master, we have located Keith but he is trapped within the Shadow Palace. He is being kept a prisoner until he talks about your plans with the boy Yami and Aqua has interest in." Croquet said.
Pegasus growled. "Well, we can't let them keep him. He will be vital to our plans. Send out Dartz and tell him to find Keith. If he finds the boy to get him as well. He will be used as a bribe to get to Yami and Aqua." Pegasus said and Croquet nodded as he went to do his master's bidding. 'Soon Yami, you and your dragon will lose everything that is important to you.'

Yugi smiled as he saw that Aqua was up and walking again. He still was with cataracts but it looked like it cleared up some. Now he was with Yugi, walking through the night garden that was in the palace. It had almost every flower he knows of, including some he never seen before. What amazed him is that they were growing under the moonlight. "This place is so amazing. I can't believe that you were able to have flowers grow like this. When I see them, they would be only in the sun." Yugi said as they went to sit under a sakura tree that had glowing white petals. To him, they looked almost silver under the moonlight.
"It's the magic here. Yes, they are similar to the ones in the human realm, but we have planted them here and changed them so they are night flowers as it's near perpetual night here in the Shadow Kingdom." Aqua explained as he reached over and picked a night rose from the small bush beside him and gave it to Yugi. He blushed as he took the flower from him. "Would you like to stay here a bit longer, Yugi?" Aqua asked. He nodded and Aqua got up. "Well, if you need me or Yami, just contact us through this gem. I want to get some more rest before I go and see Amaranthine in the stables." Aqua said. "Who's Amaranthine?" Yugi asked. "Amaranthine is my Silver Dragon. He a close friend to me but not as close as Yami. Perhaps I'll take you down to see him when I do." Aqua said and Yugi nodded.
Aqua handed him the small, round gem before he left Yugi alone to admire the garden once more.

Back in Anzu's place, she was hiding in the shadows, waiting for the draconian guards to leave the hall. When they did, she came out and saw Aqua coming her way. She would have gladly jumped out and greet herself better compared to the last time. Alas she knew if she got caught then she'd be in trouble so she stayed hidden. "I could never get tired of being around Yugi. He's so caring and gentle. Hopefully he will stay with us after we take care of Pegasus." Aqua thought aloud as he walked past her. She growled but stopped and hid deeper into the shadows when he turned back.
He continued to look around, just in case it was something that Pegasus sent out to get him but when he didn't hear anything else, he left. The brunette came out from behind the large statue and started walking in the direction that Aqua came from, hoping that he had been with Yami so she could introduce herself to the king and hopefully, get his attention more compared to Yugi and his friends. 'Maybe if I ask nicely, he'll get rid of the brat and his friends and let whoever this Pegasus character get them.' Anzu thought as she entered the garden.

Yugi explored the garden more, amazed at all the different flowers that grew there. From Windflowers to Weeping willows, this garden practically has every flower known in the world only they were silver or white under the moonlight. He remembered some of the meaning to some of the flowers. Like the Pink Clove which was silver here meant true love and the Hawthorn meant hope. Those two flowers really showed what he felt now. He hoped for true love with Yami and Aqua. He knew that they really cared for him and his life as he was targeted by Pegasus.
'But if I do leave, will they still remember me or try to find someone else?' Yugi wondered. He heard some rustling from behind him and turned to see nothing there. The teen shrugged and continued to walk through the garden but he heard it again and turned to see Anzu there, glaring at him.

Bakura and Marik came back down into the torture chamber and looked to Keith. He glared at them and wished he could break from the chains but they sapped at his strength, rendering him vulnerable. "Well Keith, you are wasting precious time that we could be using to learn more about Yugi's little friends but alas, the king wants to know about Pegasus' plans that deal with Yugi so spill it. What does he want with Yugi?" Bakura commanded and Keith spat at him, causing him to growl.
"Why should I tell you? His plans are made to be fool-proof and doesn't need to be known by others, especially his enemies." Keith hissed darkly. "Fine, if you don't want to tell then I guess we would have to punish you. Marik, if you will." Bakura said and Marik grinned sadistically as he pulled a nine-tailed whip from the wall and began to whip Keith.

Dartz came into the small window in the top portion of the palace and hid himself well from the guards that patrol the treasure vaults that were on the level. Using his magic, he slipped through the shadows, doing his best to not trigger any traps that could be hidden in the shadows itself. The kingdom was known to make lots of travels through shadows as well as it was faster so they would set traps for those that were thieves in the kingdom.
Him being one that used to live in the kingdom before he was exiled, he knew about what to watch out for. 'Hopefully I will get lucky and find the boy that Pegasus wants.' Dartz thought as he traveled down to the dungeons.

"What are you doing here, Anzu? You shouldn't know about the shadow kingdom unless you heard us when we were at school." Anzu laughed as she walked closer to Yugi. "Yes, I did happen to have heard the king's lovely conversation about some guy coming after you. Frankly, I think it would be best if you did get caught. It would make it all the easier for me to become queen here." Anzu spoke. "I may not know them well but I know they couldn't possibly choose you, Anzu. Remember, Aqua couldn't even stand you being near." Yugi snapped. She huffed before she grabbed Yugi by his shirt collar and he struggled. "Let go of me!" he cried as she walked over to the edge of the garden where a large drop to the ground was waiting.
"Sorry brat but you will be in my way of living a wonderful dream in a new world and I can't have that." Anzu whispered. "No! Don't drop me!" he cried out again but she didn't listen as she let go of him and watched as he fell. "Soon, you will be out of my way." Anzu sneered as she walked away, wanting to see if she could find Yami or Aqua to make her claim. Yugi dug through his jacket, trying to look for the gem. 'I need to hurry or I'll be a goner.' Yugi thought frantically. He heard a cry from above and looked up just as something grabbed him. The creature cooed softly as she flew back up to the garden and placed him down. He finally got a good look of the creature and saw it was a type of dragon.
She was red and white and had a small design on her chest. She cooed again and he patted her snout softly. "Thank you for helping me." She chirped happily and hugged him softly. "Well, I need to get back inside, I need to warn my friend about a girl that is planning to do something horrible." Yugi said as he started to walk back. The dragon followed him, cooing softly. He turned back and sighed. "You can't come with me. I don't know if they would let you inside the palace." Yugi said softly. She nuzzled him, cooing again and he giggled, patting her snout again. "Ok, I guess you can come. I hope Yami will let you stay." Yugi murmured as he and the dragon ran into the palace, hoping that Anzu didn't get to the kings before him.
