Love Can Have a Blind Eye
Chapter 9

After everyone got settled back into their rooms with the other demons, Yami continued to take Yugi into the bathing chambers unaware that a surprising friend was waiting for them. When he entered the chambers, he was shocked to see Keara there. "Keara, when did you get here? I thought you was still in Norrath?" Yami spoke. "I know but after hearing what a certain wretch did to you and your future mate, I had to come. I'm glad to see that the both of you are ok now." Yugi looked up to Yami. "Is this a friend of yours, Yami?" Yugi asked. He looked down to him and nodded. "Yes, she is a very old friend to us. She guarded the Plane of Sky with Veeshan but she had to leave back to another land called Norrath. So Veeshan was left to guard the Plane of Sky but then left as it was that time for her to have her brood of eggs. Her children had to watch over the nest to make sure no unworthy people got near them, that's when Pegasus took over.
"We did everything to get the Sky Palace back but for unknown reason, Pegasus' magic was stronger and we weren't able to pass through. So we waited until the time when the barrier was gone before we can attack. I believe ever since Pegasus took Dartz in, that's when the barrier has been weakened." Yami explained and Yugi nodded. "So, are you going to make a plan to attack him?" Yugi asked as he slipped off Yami's claw and started to remove his acid-eaten clothes. "Yes, Veeshan is already angry that the Plane of Sky is in his control and I will not tolerate the Mother of Dragons' home to be in the wrong hands." Yugi nodded and squeaked as Keara picked him up. "Now, it's time for you to get yourself cleansed. After an ordeal like yours, you will need the best cleansing method." Keara said as she summoned a waterfall of pure cleansing water and placed Yugi under the flowing falls.
He relaxed under the cooling waters, feeling all the digestive juices wash off of him. Yami watched him with a smile before getting in a larger pool that was right next to Yugi's and washed away the blood that was starting to crust over the pitch-black scales. Keara looked up when she heard a low roar and smiled as she saw Tirranun appear in the doorway. "Well, it's nice to see you again." Keara greeted. /I'm glad that you are back once more, Red Dragon./ Tirranun spoke. She nodded as he started to wash Yugi off with a soft cloth. /I wish to ask something of you, Yami./ Tirranun murmured. Yami looked up to him. "You may speak your mind, Tirranun."
/Yami, I would like to ask if I can be Yugi's mount. Like everyone knows, as he is a target of Pegasus, he deserves all the protection he can get. Veeshan already talked to the council about it and as much as they protested, they were overruled by laws of the Ring of Scales. She also has granted him a gift and made him a child of hers so he can be protected by her when he needs it./ Tirranun offered. He nodded. "Yes, he does deserve all the protection he need and you being a Lava Dragon, it will prove to be helpful. I will let you be his mount if Yugi would like the idea as well." Yami said as he looked to him. He nodded and Tirranun roared in happiness. /Veeshan will be happy to know that I will be there to protect you from now on, Yugi./ he spoke as Keara picked him up and wrapped him in a towel. "I'm glad, I hate to see people sad or angry. But I know with all your combined force, Pegasus will go down and the Sky Palace will be Veeshan's once more." Yugi said as he was picked up by Tirranun and placed against his warm chest.
"Tirranun, why don't you take him back to my room, Aqua should be there by now." Yami suggested and he nodded as he left the room. "I shall go see Veeshan and tell her that Tirranun is now Yugi's mount. I guess I'll see you later." Keara said as she left the room. Yami relaxed in the water, closing his eyes. 'Hopefully, Pegasus doesn't try anything else to harm Yugi or his friends.' Yami thought.

Tirranun and Yugi made it to the room and they heard the soft melody of a piano playing. 'I wonder who could be playing such a wonderful melody?' Yugi thought as he asked Tirranun to place him down and he walked over to the door silently. He opened it and looked inside, seeing Aqua at the piano, playing a soft tune and was singing just as softly.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
Yugi looked to him before looking up to Tirranun and he nodded and waited outside as he went in quietly.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
He sat upon the bed and watched as Aqua sang.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating mind
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
Aqua stopped and sighed before looking to the bed and saw Yugi there, tears in his eyes. "Oh, Yugi, what makes you cry?" Aqua said as he got up and walked over to him. "The way you sing such a beautiful song, Aqua. Where did you learn it?" Yugi asked. "Our mother sang it to me and Yami before she died. How I can play it while I'm still half blind is beyond me though. Guess it's just nostalgia of remembering the keys." Aqua murmured. Yugi moved over to him and hugged him. "Whether your blind or not, it's still beautiful to me, Aqua." Yugi said and he smiled as he hugged him back.
"What is the name of the song?" Yugi asked again. "It's called My Immortal." Aqua said softly.

The other demons were happy to have the others back from Pegasus' clutches. "Oh, Ryou, I'm so glad you're back. I was near tempted to go up there and get you myself." Bakura whispered as he hugged Ryou. He pat his back.
"Don't worry, I'm back now and you don't have to worry about me being taken anymore." Ryou whispered. Bakura continued to hug him, hoping that no one will try to take Ryou away from him again. 'Cause if they do, I will not sit around this time.' Bakura thought with devotion for the smaller boy.

After Yami changed back into his regular demon form, he went to check on Jounouchi and Ryou. He entered Seto's room and saw the boy was already getting his wounds treated by Seto. "Are you alright Jounouchi?" Yami asked. He nodded as Seto bandaged the last wound. "I'm still sorry for everything that happen." Yami said. "It's ok, Yami. Anzu's gone and everything's been taken care of for now. Everyone is ok and nothing major happened that would cause the life of someone that we all care about." Jounouchi said. Yami nodded and with a brief wave, he left the room and visited Ryou to make sure he was alright. After checking on him, he left and headed back to his room.
He smiled when he saw Yugi and Aqua peacefully sleeping in the bed. Tirranun looked up and smiled softly before he left out the room to guard from the outside. Yami walked over to the bed quietly and sat down beside Yugi. He placed a hand upon Yugi's shoulder. 'I'm glad that Aqua was able to find you. I never met someone like you before and I'm happy I was able to meet a person like you in this lifetime.' Yami thought as he continue to watch the peacefully sleeping child.

But back in the Sky Palace, Pegasus was furious. "I had enough of this! They keep on getting more and more help from out of nowhere! Keith! Call out your troops and get ready. If we can't capture those that they care for then we'll just go down there and take care of them ourselves." Pegasus hissed. "Are you sure this is wise? They may be unprepared when we go down there but they have the Egyptian Shadow Gods down there. They'll be forced to attack us once they sense you and once you are dead or hurt, Veeshan will reclaim the Sky Palace once more and your magic will never break through hers." Keith said.
"I don't care! Yami has posed more of a threat with everything he does to protect a single child! Once we defeat him then no one shall protect the child or rule over the kingdom and it will be ours." Pegasus said. Keith sighed and nodded as he left out the room, giving a quick wave to Dartz as he passed him. 'So, the master is getting angry now? Soon, his anger will lead him down the path of destruction and I will take over. I may have lost the souls I was planning to use but since we are going back down there, I will get them again and no one will be there to stop me because they will be battling Pegasus.' Dartz thought as he slipped away into the shadows.
'Leviathan will be reborn and no one will stop me.'

Keara looked up, feeling that something was about to happen. Veeshan looked over to her. -Is something wrong?- she asked. "Something is about to happen and I'm not liking where it may go. Veeshan, I think you should send Yah'Lir and Nagafen up near the Sky Palace and watch over Pegasus. He's planning something but I can't tell what." Keara explained. She nodded and called for the two dragons. When they came, she told them what Keara wanted them to do and they left soon after.
-I do believe that we should start protecting the Kingdom more closely. If Pegasus is planning an attack then we must protect the kingdom and palace until Yami and the others are prepared to protect their home.- Veeshan said and she nodded as they and the remaining dragons went to watch over the Shadow Kingdom.

Pegasus watched as the troops got ready for the invasion. "Soon Yami, you will lose everything, including your life and nothing will stop me." Pegasus said. Keith only shook his head as he stood beside him. "We are ready whenever you are, Pegasus." Keith said and he nodded as he spread out his wings. "Launch the troops for the Shadow Kingdom! War shall be placed upon the lands of Darkness for rule over the Shadow Palace!" Pegasus announced and the troops cheered as they left from the plush clouds of the Sky Kingdom and down to the Shadow Kingdom, ready for war upon the people of the shadows.
They were unaware of the two dragons that were quickly making their way back down to warn Yami about the upcoming war.
