Love Can Have a Blind Eye

Chapter 13

The next day, Keara opened the door to Aqua's room, smiling as she saw Yugi and Aqua sleeping peacefully together and walked in quietly so she wouldn't disturb them. When she reached them, she quietly shook Yugi awake. He yawned before looking up to her. "Oh, good morning, Keara. What brings you here?" he asked. "A friend of mine has come from Norrath and he said he found a cure for Aqua's blindness." she explained. Yugi smiled brightly when he heard that. "Really? That's great! Aqua has been so morose when his sight got worse. Yami and I almost thought he would've shut himself inside his room for good because of it." Yugi said as he got up from Aqua's lap.

"You should thank Goldenfeather. But anyways, I came here to get you. He wants to tell you how to use the potion that will restore his sight." Keara explained and he nodded as he followed her out of the room.

Earlier that morning, Taleb once again left from the palace without getting anyone's attention and headed back to Eblis' hideout. Sayad was the only one awake at that time, being the one to guard the hideout from any other raiders that may be in the kingdom, when he came. "What do you want?" he said. "I've brought the money. Will 1,000 Soul Garnets be good enough payment?" Taleb asked as he pulled out the pouch that was filled with the gems. Sayad took the pouch before heading back inside. It was a while before he came back out.

"Eblis took your payment. We will do the job later on tonight. Anything else you want from us?" he asked. "Yes, I want to see if you can take care of the Dragon Goddess. She will ruin our plan if she finds out what you're up to." Taleb spoke. He nodded before heading back inside once more. He came back out and looked Taleb straight in his jade green eyes. "A job that demanding will cost more. Bring Eblis back 5,000 Blood Emeralds and we'll see if we can get the job done." Sayad said and he nodded as he left once more.

"That man is pathetic. Like we really going to do such a job. She had helped all of us and yet he and his lousy council leader Zaim, along with those other fools, dare try to ruin it for all of us." Sayad mumbled quietly before taking his post once more.

When they came into the throne room, Goldenfeather looked up. "Ah, is this Yugi?" he asked. "Yes, this is him. Yugi, meet Goldenfeather of the Druid council." Keara greeted. "It's nice to meet you, Goldenfeather." Yugi greeted. "Likewise. Now, back to business," he said as he pulled out a small bottle filled with a pure white liquid. "Inside this bottle is the tears of Mithaniel and Erollisi Marr. They have felt the sorrow the gods of Norrath felt when Aqua's condition became worse after doing such a heroic and brave deed to save the kingdom and its people. In honor of his great deed, they were able to give you this gift. All you need to do is place three drops on each eyelid and a kiss filled with all your love and passion for him. Give him a kiss of true love on his lips to seal the spell and its effects." he explained as he handed the bottle to Yugi.

"The curse and damage done to his eyes will be healed. This potion will not only cure him but with the holy power of the Marr Twins will prevent him from falling into the darkness of never seeing his kingdom nor his friends and loved ones again. Never will he be blinded to the love you and Yami give to him. That is the gift of the Gods of Norrath to the one that have saved the Plane of Shadows from the evil that was Pegasus and Dartz." Goldenfeather said and he nodded. "Thank you and please tell the gods of Norrath I thank them as well for finding a cure for him." Yugi whispered.

"It was nothing. No one of this kingdom should have been fated to such a cruel spell. Especially one that has found love in a child of pureness such as yourself." Goldenfeather said and he nodded, giving him another thank you before leaving the room.

When Yugi made it back to the room, Aqua was still asleep and Yugi walked over to him quietly. "Aqua, wake up. I have something for you." he murmured and Aqua yawned as he got up. "Hmm, what do you have for me?" he asked as he looked down to him. "A friend of Keara's brought something for you. It will help get rid of your blindness." Yugi answered. "Really? It will break the curse?" he asked again and he nodded. "Then what do we need to do?" he questioned. "All you need to do is close your eyes for me." Yugi said and he nodded as he did so. Yugi uncorked the bottle and placed three drops on each eyelid, kissing each one with care. He placed the empty bottle to the side before placing his hands on the sides of Aqua's face and brought him close, giving him a gentle kiss which he returned gratefully.

Aqua felt the magic of the potion working and when Yugi released him from the kiss, he opened his eyes. "Did it work?" Yugi asked. "Yes, everything is so clear now." Aqua said as he looked down to him. "And you are so beautiful now that I can finally see you." Aqua whispered and Yugi blushed. "We should go and tell Yami that your sight is cured now." Yugi spoke as he got up but Aqua brought him back down. "Not just yet, I want to relish in your beauty." Aqua whispered as he pulled him in for another kiss. Yugi moaned softly as he did so and didn't pay no attention as Aqua got up and took him over to the bed.

(Zypher: I shall be evil and not place a lemon scene between them right now but don't worry, you'll get your full lemon scene soon)

Later in the day, Yami woke up and seeing that Yugi never came back in the room, he headed over to Aqua's and looked inside. He smiled when he saw Yugi and Aqua curled up on the ruffled bedsheets, obviously telling him that some activity has been going on earlier. He closed the door silently before he headed over to the others, seeing as it has been a while since they've seen each other after that war. As he was heading to Seto's room, Rasool came over to him. "Master Yami?" he asked. "Yes Rasool, what is it you need?" Yami questioned, looking down to him. "Do you mind if I go out and see Eblis? It has been a while and I want to go visit." he said. "But of course. He and his friends may be raiders but they've shown they are loyal enough for my trust." Yami said and Rasool smiled.

"Thank you, Master Yami." Rasool said before running to the door that led to the stables. "Take Shaheen with you." Yami called. "I will!" he called before the door closed. He smiled before heading the rest of the way to Seto's room.

In the moonlit garden, Ryou, Malik, Jounouchi, Topaz, Diamond and Kaiser sat. "So, had any of you seen Yugi? After Aqua got injured, he never came out from either Yami's room or Aqua's." Malik said. "Well, you know, he is very unhappy that something so horrible happen to Aqua just as his sight was starting to clear up. You can't blame him if he doesn't leave one of their rooms." Diamond added. "She does have a point." Ryou said as a back up. "Yeah, but you still have to worry about him. This is very hard on everyone." Kaiser said.

"Don't worry, everything's fine now." A voice spoke and they turned to see Yugi with Aqua. "Really, what happened?" Jounouchi asked. "Well, after the battle, the gods felt sorrow for what happened so Mithaniel and Erollisi used their tears to make a potion and with it, my vision was cured and the curse broken. It will never come back anytime soon." Aqua explained. "Wow! That's great, Aqua! I'm glad they were able to find a cure for you!" Diamond said with a happy smile. "Yeah, do you know how much we sat here, worried about you?" Malik huffed and they laughed. "Don't worry, no need to worry about me anymore." Aqua said as he and Yugi went to sit down next to them.

Inside, Zaim watched with disgust. "Look at those filthy humans. They're lucky they were turned into soul demons but they were still humans before and don't deserve to be in our realm." he hissed. "Don't worry, Zaim. They will be taken care of soon enough. I sent Nabil to deliver the 5,000 Blood Emeralds to Eblis and Sayad told me that they will come tonight to do the job." Taleb said and he nodded. "Good, soon they will be out of our hair and we can make sure this kingdom is ruled by an iron fist." Zaim said as he left away from the window.

In the village, Rasool rode by on a white griffin. He soon reached the home of Eblis and dismounted off Shaheen. She crooned softly and he patted her beak. "Don't worry, I'll be back in a bit." Rasool said and she nodded and watched as he went over to the small home that was made into their hideout. Fajer was currently on guard duty when he saw him and smiled. "Ah, Rasool, it's been a while. What brings you here?" he asked. "I want to see Eblis. Is he inside?" questioned Rasool. "Yeah, he counting off the Soul Garnets we gotten from the council. They're plotting something evil to Yami and Aqua's new soulmate and he's going there tonight to warn them. Maybe you can tell them ahead of time." Fajer said and he nodded as he went inside.

"Eblis, are you in here?" he called as he walked inside, giving greetings to Sayad, Dassous and Kafele when he spotted Eblis at the table, counting the Soul Garnets. "Hello Eblis." he said and the taller soul demon turned to him. "Ah Rasool, so glad to see you again." he said as he held out his arms for a hug. The smaller boy ran to him and hugged him. "I missed you a lot, Eblis. Why don't you come to live in the palace?" he asked as Eblis let him go and he went to sit in a nearby chair. "I would but with that council still there, they will throw us out before we can step inside. Hopefully after we warn Yami about what they're plotting, they will either be exiled or executed." Eblis answered as he placed the rubies back in the pouch.

Dassous came in holding another pouch and gave it to him. "Nabil came with the Blood Emeralds. He also told us that Aqua's sight was healed so he wants us to come now and do the job." Dassous explained and he nodded before turning back to Rasool. "Rasool, I need you to do something and quickly. I want you to get back to the palace and tell Yami of our arrival. We'll explain to him ourselves of what the council is planning so they won't get suspicious of us not arriving to the palace to supposedly go after his and Aqua's soul mate along with the others and take matters into their own hands." Eblis said and he nodded.

"Now go, we'll be there soon." he continued and he ran out, calling for Shaheen and heading back to the palace. "Ok men, we're going to the palace and take care of those councilmen for good." Eblis announced and they nodded as they left out as well.

Back in the palace, Aqua, Yugi and his friends were walking through, heading to the stables. "Well, I'm going to stay in here so why don't you take your mounts and head into town for a bit." Aqua said as he walked over to the large pot that was sitting there and dug inside, grabbing a bag filled with Spirit Sapphires. "Take these if you wish to buy something." he said as he handed the bag to Yugi. "Thanks, Aqua." Yugi said as he kissed his cheek lightly before he and the others ran off. He smiled as he watched them leave before turning his head. Rasool ran over to him, out of breath. "What's the matter, Rasool?" he asked. "Eblis and his friends are coming here. He has to explain something to you and Yami about the councilmen." Rasool spoke and he nodded, growling lightly.

"Alright. Thank you for telling me. I'll go tell Yami that they're coming. You go ahead and head back to your room so the councilmen won't find out you know something." Aqua said and he nodded as he ran off once more. He watched as he left before he did so as well.

Yami was sitting in his room once again, very immersed in a book he picked up off the shelf. He looked up when Aqua came in and placed the book down. "What brings you here, Aqua?" Yami asked. "We got a problem. The council is up to something and Eblis is coming over to explain what they're up to." Aqua replied and he got up. "Well, after what Veeshan told them, they still tried to devise a plan to harm Yugi and his friends." Yami said with a light sigh. "I'll head to the throne room to wait for them. Why don't you go and get Veeshan. She would want to know what the council is planning as well since the council broke the law of the Ring of Scales that she placed on them." Yami said and he nodded as he left the room.

Yami did so as well, heading to the throne room.

Eblis and his fellow partners flew through the window to the throne room and saw that Yami and Aqua along with Veeshan was waiting for them. They bowed low for them before getting up once more. "Now what is this with the council and their plot?" Yami asked. "Zaim and the other councilmen wanted us to assassinate your mate and the others. They may be soul demons now but they were still human at first and they want to uphold the law of the soul demon race. Of course, knowing that this would become hazardous to you along with your friends, we didn't plan to do such a horrid thing but we played them along and made them think they were going to actually succeed without no one knowing." Eblis explained, eliciting a growl from Veeshan.

-They dare go back on my word?! I shall have their heads for this!- she growled. "Don't worry, we'll get them for this. They should still be in the council room." Yami said as he got up. "I thank you for telling us this. They will pay for daring to harm out soulmates." Eblis nodded before he and the others we ready to leave. "Wait, why don't you stay here in the palace for now on?" Aqua offered. "Well, it is a nice offer and it would make Rasool happy. I think we can manage ditching out raiding ways and live here." Eblis said and he nodded. Well, wait here then. We make room arrangement after we take care of the council." Yami said as they left.

"Do you think Eblis and his men succeeded with their mission?" Majeed asked. "They better or else they will pay." Zaim said. "Or, better yet, make you pay for daring to break your word." Yami spoke and they turned to see him, Aqua and Veeshan standing there by the door. -You have broken your word and dare try to harm Yugi and his friends. By law of the Ring of Scales, I denounce you from you roles as councilmen and publicly executed later tonight for attempted murder.- Veeshan said. -And also for daring to try and hide your trail of trying to murder Yugi and his friends, I place a dreadful curse on you until your execution tonight. Your minds shall be filled with nothing but despair and fear that drives you mad and make you wish for death. Your wealth and your positions will be reduced to rubble and lastly, your fellow soul demons shall show nothing but pure malicious hate for you all everywhere you turn. Everywhere you go, none of you shall receive no sympathy for your unholy actions.-

"But that isn't possible! My king, please tell me you aren't going to go through with this!" Zaim exclaimed, looking to him but was only rewarded with a cold glare. "I will not hinder Veeshan's word. You are to be executed by midnight." Yami said coldly before calling the guards the take them away. They watched as they were taken to the dungeons. "Now that they are taken care of, who are we going to suggest for new members of the council?" Aqua asked. "I have an idea." Yami replied as he left out the room.

Eblis looked up when he heard Yami come into the room. "So, are they taken care of?" he asked. "No but Zaim and the other councilmen are to be executed at midnight. Now I wish to ask you something." Yami said. "Ask away." Sayad spoke. "Since you're giving up you ways of raiding, will you become my new council?" Yami asked. "Well, this is a big honor that you would ask us to be your new council. Are you sure this is what you want, Yami? I mean, you could ask Seto and the others to be your council." Eblis said. "I know but then they may chew me out for making them the council and not leaving them time to be with their own mates and besides, I think this will be a good way to pay me back for letting Rasool stay with us." Yami said.

"He does have a good point Eblis, what do you think?" Fajer asked. "I think it would be a great idea. We'll accept your offer, Yami." Eblis said and he smiled. "Thank you, I place my trust that you will become the best councilmen compared to Zaim and his foolish men." Yami said as he, Eblis and the others left out the throne room. "Don't worry, we'll never turn out to be like them." Kafele said.

At midnight, everyone in the Plane of Shadows were at the center of the village square where the previous councilmen execution is to be held. Yami along with Seto, Ruby, Bakura, Marik, Aqua, Crimson and Toben stood on the platform, Zaim and his men standing behind them, bound. "Tonight we are gathered here to witness the execution of my father's once loyal council. They dare to break the law of the Ring of Scales made by Veeshan, Mother of Dragons, and try to hire a band of raiders to assassinate my soulmate along with my loyal friends' soulmates!" Yami said and the people hissed and booed at the councilmen. Seto stepped up next. "But what they didn't know was that the raiders they hired were good friends to the king and warned him about what they were planning to do and in honor of their loyalty, was made the new council of the Shadow Palace!" Seto said and they cheered.

"Now, it is time for their execution! Personally done by the Goddess herself!" Seto continued and he along with the others stepped off as Veeshan made her way to the platform. -Now, witness as the death of these foul councilmen are done. They dare try to go against my power and this is what they sorely deserve. Nothing that they will do in the afterlife will compensate their darkened deed.- Veeshan spoke as the men were pushed forward. She raised a mighty claw and with a quick swipe, they were beheaded. Their headless bodies crumpled to the ground as the people cheered.

She then breathed out a breath of fire to torch their bodies and turned back to the people. -You have all seen my power and I shall make sure everyone from other lands and my own land of Norrath that no evil shall dare try to invoke my wrath.- Veeshan said as she flew up high into the sky and became to be the half the size of the planet and with another swipe of her mighty claw, made a canyon to mark the Plane of Shadows as a twin plane to her own. -With this canyon, it shall show to all others lands that the Plane of Shadows is to never be tampered with or else they will have to deal with my wrath.- Veeshan announced and the people cheered and thanked her for protecting their realm.

Yami went to stand on the platform once more. "Thank you, Veeshan, for your protection over our realm and well and hope that you will still protect us for now and forever." Yami spoke. -Do not worry, I will never let another evil come to harm you, your soul mate or the people.- Veeshan said as she landed. The people applauded her before they all left to rest for the night. "Well, we better get back inside as well. It's starting to get later by the seconds and out mates might be wondering where we are." Crimson said as they all nodded and left to head back inside while Veeshan stayed outside to watch over the kingdom for the night.
