Yami no Game: Death's Awakening
Chapter 29
0
Kids started pushing each other and such, stampeding towards the doors that will lead them up to the top. "You're going upstairs as well." The guard behind them said. "You bet! Front row seats if you please! Where we can get a good look at Yami clobbering Kaiba right into the ground!" Jounouchi said. He then pulled the guard's cell phone from its place without him realizing it. "And one more thing...let me borrow this." he said before dialing the number for the hospital. "Who are you calling?" Zella asked, shifting Johji in her arms. "The hospital where they took Yugi's grandfather. No one could go with him so I asked Hanasaki, once Aqua gave me the info to his place, to check up on him." Jounouchi said.

At the hospital, Hanasaki picked up the phone. "Ah, Jounouchi...yes, he's in the emergency surgery right now...it started an hour ago...It's just...the surgeon says...there isn't much hope..." Jounouchi was shocked on the other side of the line before nodding. /...I see...Hanasaki, stay there and keep watch./
"Yes! I got it!" he said as he hung up the phone when Jounouchi did. He sat down in the chair and looked to the door leading into the surgery room. 'Please, hang in there, Grandpa Motou...' he thought.

"How is he..?" Yugi asked. "It sounds bad..." Jounouchi whispered. Yugi gasped softly and looked down. Jounouchi dialed in another number but no one answered. "Honda isn't answering either...this can't get any worse..." he said before looking up, determined. "Anyway, right now...all we can do is watch over Yami in his battle! We can't give up on him when he needs it the most!" Jounouchi said and they nodded. "He will defeat Kaiba and once he does, I'm giving him a piece of my mind for making them go through all of this and putting his own brother in danger as well." Keara growled as they were led up to the next floor.

Yami had a deadly gleam in his eyes as he rode the elevator up to the final game. 'Kaiba...you hurt my friends...my family and my lover...I'll never forgive you! Even if you beg for mercy! Demons are merciless and you'll find that out the hard way!' he thought as the door slid open and he walked out and looked to the dome where the battle will commence. 'There it is...Death T-5...the dome duel arena...' Another set of doors opened on the other side and out walked Kaiba, gaining cheers and compliments from the children. He smirked and looked to Yami.
"Welcome to the final stage, Yami!" he told him. He snarled and walked forward along with him, both entering the duel arena and sat down. Yami glared at him while Kaiba gave him a neutral gaze. "Words mean nothing to us anymore...what will decide our fates...are the cards themselves!" he said, placing his deck down on the table. Yami pulled out Sugoroku's deck from his pocket. "Fine by me! These cards will show you no mercy! Only their anger and rage for what you've done!" he hissed.
'I congratulate you for getting this far...It's almost a shame that this is where you'll probably die...I have in my deck the three most powerful cards in the world, the Blue Eyes White Dragons! No card exists that can defeat them!' he thought. "Before starting the game, we will shuffle and cut each other decks." he said and Yami only nodded as he passed him the deck and Kaiba did so in return. They both shuffled the other's deck before giving them back. 'I believe in your deck and your monsters, Sugoroku. You may have caused slight problems in the past but now, Yugi needs to know you will be alright. I will not let defeat reign in your heart and have it become your death.' Yami thought as he drew his five cards.
"Duel!" They both called. "I'll start this off! I send out Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress in attack mode!" He said, placing the monster onto the field. "I'll take you on! My card is the Hitotsu-Me Giant!" Kaiba said. "Go, Winged Dragon! Fireball attack!" The dragon roared as it shot out a fireball which hit the weaker monster and destroyed it easily. "Not a good way to start off the duel, Kaiba." Yami spoke as Kaiba life points decreased to 1800. "No matter. It doesn't hurt me a bit!" he said. "I'm just getting started!" He placed down another card onto the field. "And now, I'll summon Wicked Worm Beast in attack mode! Worm Beast, kill that dragon!"
"I'll take you on!" he said as the Winged Dragon flew towards his monster. "Go! Poison Soul attack!" Kaiba commanded as the monster let out a stream of acid. "You should know, the Winged Dragon has the power of flight, making it easy to dodge some attacks." Yami spoke as the dragon evaded the attack. "Now, counter with Fireball attack!" The dragon didn't hesitate to comply and the Worm Beast was easily destroyed. The kids moaned in disdain at his second defeat but Yugi, Jounouchi and Zella cheered from the sidelines. Kaiba only smirked and placed a monster down in defense.
Yami drew and since he wasn't familiar with the monster on Kaiba's field, he placed a monster into defense and ended his turn. "Just so you know, I was a champion before I owned a Blue Eyes and even without one, I can defeat you!" Kaiba stated. "I flip my monster from defense to attack!" he said and Yami noticed what monster it was. "That's Saggi the Dark Clown." The demon murmured. "Yes but even thought his attack is nothing to fear, once I add this magic card to him, you will have something to worry about!" Kaiba said as he placed Dark Energy onto the field, tripling his attack from 600 to 1800.
"Now! Kill that dragon! Dark Glide!" A ball of dark energy gathered into the clown's hands before it shot out, hitting Winged Dragon directly, destroying him and decreasing Yami's life points down to 1400. Yami growled and drew his next card. 'This won't help at all...' he thought, looking to the monster. He placed another monster into defense and ended his turn. "Let's start from the left!" he called, commanding Saggi to attack the defense monster. Yami snarled, being forced to play monsters in defense mode. Children cheered as they saw Kaiba had Yami on the run. "Yami!" Jounouchi and Yugi called.
'You have to hang in there, Yami...for my jii-chan's sake...' Yugi thought. "Dark Glide!" Kaiba called again and Yami's defensive monster was destroyed. Kaiba chuckled. "Yami...you disappoint me. I don't even need my Blue Eyes to defeat you!" Yami growled before looking down to the deck, remembering the promise Yugi made to his grandfather. 'And he trusts in me to help him with that. I must have faith in the deck and his grandfather!' he thought before looking back to Kaiba. "Kaiba...do your cards have the power of your trust?"
"What do you mean?" he questioned. "I believe in these cards! I believe that they will grant me what I need to defeat you!" Yami hissed and drew his card, smirking. "I play Gaia the Fierce Knight!" Kaiba was shocked when he saw this. "Go! Vanquish Saggi with Spiral Saber!" The Knight charged forward upon his mount before hitting the clown with a sharp, spiral edged cut that defeated the powered-up monster. Kaiba wasn't fazed at all, only chuckled again. "I suppose the deck of a game store owner would have to have a decent card or two." he said.
"You can't predict this duel...not until the very end..."
"Don't get arrogant...I know how this will end!" Kaiba snapped, a smirk still plastered onto his face as he drew his next card. The smirked widened even more as he gazed onto the card. "I've drawn the Blue Eyes White Dragon, Yami! This duel is mine!" he said as he placed the powerful monster onto the field. "Too bad for you! Just after you drew your trump card!"
"He finally got the Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
"Yaay! Kaiba won!"
Kids continued to cheer as Jou, Yugi and Zella watched in fear. "Now! Blue Eyes White Dragon! Attack with Burst Stream of Destruction!" The dragon roared and gathered energy in its jaws before shooting the white energy stream towards Gaia, defeating him and bringing Yami's life points down to 700. Kaiba laughed as he watched the monster be destroyed. "Die, Gaia, and prepare a place in hell for your master!" he gloated. "Well, Yami? You're finished! And remember, I have two more Blue Eyes in my deck! When they come out, nothing you put down will save you!"
Yami's eyes narrowed, snarling under his breath. "Now draw, Yami..." He drew his card and placed the Horn Imp in defense mode. Kaiba ordered the Blue Eyes to attack again, easily incinerating the monster. "It's painful to watch! As long as you play your monsters in defense, your life points don't change...no matter how many monsters I slaughter! But you're only drawing out your inevitable demise!"
'He's right for once but if I play just one monster in attack mode, I'll lose the duel and I won't fail my lover and his grandfather!' he thought. "Now play your next monster! Eventually, you'll run out of cards! Then you will lose!" Kaiba said. He growled lowly and placed Beaver Warrior in defense mode and gave the turn to Kaiba. "Attack...!" he started and chuckled. "...is that what you expect me to do? I won't...not this time! Rather than put your "Beaver Warrior" out of its misery, I'll draw another and increase the size of my army!" he drew his card and smirked.
"It looks like the goddess of victory is one my side...my next card is...Blue Eyes White Dragon!" he spoke, placing the second dragon down onto the field. "On my next turn, these two will attack at the same time! Your immortal life is over, Yami!" Yami clenched his teeth in anger, seeing his options were wearing thin. 'I could play another monster this turn, but next turn I'd be defenseless! His dragons can kill two of my monsters each turn and I can only draw one new card! I failed...I failed both Sugoroku and Yugi...'
'I win, Yami! You can't defeat me a second time! Not when I have two of the most powerful beasts on my side and you are left with none!' Kaiba thought. Yami closed his eyes, ready to accept the defeat but a voice cried out to him. /Yami! Don't give up! Please don't give up on me! I know you can win!/ Yugi said through the link. /But how? I have no monsters that could defeat his Blue Eyes. I failed you both./ Yami whispered. /Please, Yami! Don't think that way! I know you can figure out something! We've made it this far. Don't lose hope now. For me...don't lose hope./ Yugi whispered. 'He's right. I can't give up now. This is what Kaiba wants me to do so he can get his revenge. Yugi believes in me and so are his friends. I'm not fighting this duel alone!' He looked down to the deck. 'This duel rides on this card!' He drew the card and smirked. "I play Swords of Revealing Light!" he called, placing the card onto the field and Kaiba gasped as the swords made from light trapped his dragons.
"What!"
'Good...I'm safe for the next three turns.' he thought. From the sidelines, Yugi smiled. 'I knew you wouldn't give up. Show him who's a true duelist.' Yugi thought. "Feh...you still won't give up? You're beginning to annoy me..." Kaiba spoke. "Way ta go, Yami! The duel isn't over yet!" Jounouchi cheered. Kaiba snorted, looking to Jounouchi quickly before turning his gaze back to Yami. "Well...you've used up the last of your luck...they will only be bound for three turns! What can you do within three turns to defeat them?"
'He's right...as much as I hate to admit it, there's not much I can do.' he thought, looking to the three pieces of a monster in his hands. 'And I can't figure out what these cards are used for. I can see they create a monster but which one?' Yugi can feel Yami's distress and closed his eyes. 'You can't lose, Yami...' he thought, unaware of a familiar presence nearby. He opened his eyes, seeing his grandfather standing there. "Jii-chan..." he whispered. "You look down, Yugi..." he said. "Your friend hasn't given up, has he?"
"No but he doesn't have any more moves left. He's going to lose." Yugi whispered. "Yugi...not too long ago you were suffering. Remember how you got over it that time..." he spoke and Yugi looked down to the puzzle. "With the Sennen Puzzle...I completed the Sennen Puzzle and met Yami and Aqua!" He nodded. "You put each piece of that puzzle in its place...you didn't give up...you believed in yourself and completed the puzzle. Even though it took you eight years and you didn't know about Yami and Aqua being the demons from the myth." He chuckled softly. "Yugi! There is nothing meaningless in this world! Like pieces of a puzzle. The cards are just the same..." he said before turning and walking off.
'Jii-chan...' he thought then took hold of the puzzle. 'The Sennen Puzzle...and the cards...Wait! I know what he's talking about!' he thought and closed his eyes again, opening them once more to see he was back in the arena. /Yami! I figured out something that will help you!/ Yugi called. /What could it possibly be?/ he questioned. /My jii-chan's deck...it contains Exodia!/ he said. 'Exodia? His grandfather has the actual pieces of Exodia in his deck? If that true then that's the only thing that will save me.' he thought. 'And I already have three of the sealed pieces.'
"Yami! What are you waiting for?! Draw your card!" Kaiba sneered. He drew his card and saw he drew the Right Arm of the Forbidden One. 'Great! Just one more and Kaiba is finished.' he thought. But Kaiba only sat there, smirking. 'His expression has changed...but there's no card better than the Blue Eyes...Yami's hope is like the last flicker of a candle before it's blown out...' Kaiba through before drawing his card. "Well, it's dull just sitting here so...I'll use Judgeman to destroy your defensive monster...the stress will do you good." he spoke as he sent out the monster and with a swing of its maces, destroyed Beaver Warrior. "Two turns left!" Kaiba gloated and Yami snorted as he took his turn and drew a card. 'The Black Magician! I would play it in defense mode but it won't survive long again his Judgeman. And his attack power doesn't even match up with the Blue Eyes.'
"I send out Black Magician in attack mode!" he called, placing the purple robed magician onto the field. Kaiba growled. "The futile struggle of the condemned continues! Give up, Yami! You can't win!" he hissed. "I will! Go Black Magician! Attack with Black Magic attack!" Yami commanded and in a flash of black energy, Judgeman was defeated. "I won't give up Kaiba. As I said in our last duel, waiting will make your defeat ever closer and it will be more damaging than before!"
"It doesn't matter. It's the last turn. After this, you have no chances left." Kaiba said as his life points decreased to 1000. "And the last card I drew is..." He drew the card and smirked. "The third Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
'No!' Kaiba placed the monster on the field. "Now destroy the Black Magician with Burst Stream of Destruction!" The dragon roared and launched its attack, destroying Black Magician and Yami's life points lowered to 200. Yami swallowed his fear, glaring at Kaiba. "Draw your last card, Yami! No matter what it is, you will die!" Jounouchi tried to run forward but was held back. "Yami! You can't lose! You can win this!"
"I know you can win, Yami!"
"We've made it this far! Kaiba can't win against you!" Kaiba only laughed as he stared down at Yami across the board. "My Blue Eyes are released! On the next turn, they will be free to attack and when they do, your life points will go down to negative 8800!" he said and laughed more. Yami snarled, teeth bared, not planning to accept defeat so easily. "Well, Yami...it's your turn...your last turn...draw the card that will mean the end of your life and the success of my revenge!"
'I have the arms and legs of the forbidden one...I need the last piece but with 40 cards in Sugoroku's deck, it's impossible that the next card will be the one I need...I may truly lose and lose so much...' Yami thought. 'Yami...please...you have to pull through...' Yugi thought, feeling the spark of defeat rising higher through the link. "Do it now, Yami! Draw your card or admit defeat!" Kaiba shouted. "Delaying the inevitable won't help you this time!" Yami reached out to draw his card but Kaiba can see his hand shaking with fear of his last draw. 'That's it...you know this time you lost...draw your last card and surrender so you can rest in peace...rest in peace for eternity!'
Before he could touch the top card, the deck pulled away and he gasped. 'The cards, they can feel my fear...they can sense that I want to escape drawing the last card...' he thought and let out a shuddering breath. 'I'm afraid...afraid to draw the last card...' He looked up, seeing a golden-yellow glow accompanied with lavender, deep amethyst, bronze, aquamarine and ruby/onyx. His friends and Yugi soon appeared, placing their hands over the deck.
"We're here for you, Yami. Don't forget that." He smiled and looked back down to the deck. 'I'm not afraid anymore. My friends and my lover are with me. That alone will give me this win and Kaiba will be crushed!' he thought and smiled, drawing his card but his smile confused Kaiba. 'What happened? A moment ago his face was twisted in fear...he's smiling now. Is he accepting defeat? Has he accepted that he's going to die?' he pondered. "No, Kaiba! Its hope and satisfaction you're seeing! Prolonging things always wins in the end and your defeat will make my win all the more fulfilling!" he said. "My next card is...Exodia the Forbidden One!" Yami called. 'What...?...Exodia? It can't be!'
"I have all five pieces right here in my hand! Now Exodia, awaken!" he spoke, placing the five cards onto the field. 'No? NO! He used the Exodia cards...! But the chances of anyone succeeding with assembling Exodia are impossible!' Kaiba thought in shock. A five-pointed star hovered above Yami and soon, the large hulking monster that was Exodia appeared. "Now, Exodia! Take down his Blue Eyes with Exodia Flame!" The monster roared and it gathered the bright energy in its hand and shot it towards the three Blue Eyes, demolishing them in one infinite blow. "N-no...m-my Blue Eyes White Dragons...Th-They just...just..."
"Your Blue Eyes are powerful...but even weak monsters can join together sometimes. And together, they can create an infinite power which can defeat any enemy!" Yami spoke. "It's over, Kaiba! I win!"
"Awright! Yami won!" Jounouchi cheered. "I knew he could make it!" Zella said happily. 'Thank you, Yami. You did it...you defeated Kaiba with my jii-chan's deck...' Yugi thought, smiling. Johji finally woke up, wondering where all the noise was coming from but when he saw the gun, he feigned dead so they wouldn't notice he was awake and try something. Jounouchi looked behind him to the guards. 'Now...gotta do somethin' about these goons...but I can't put Zella and Yugi in danger.' Jounouchi thought. Snarling was heard behind them and before the guards can turn, one was hit over the back of the head. Two others had their heads knocked together. Jounouchi, after the guard holding him was knocked unconscious, turned to see Aqua and Honda standing there.
"Honda! Aqua! You two survived after all!" Jounouchi exclaimed before kicking the last one. "Thank Aqua! If he didn't reveal himself as a demon, we probably would've never got out." Honda said. Yugi grinned and jumped into Aqua's arms. "Oh, Aqua! I thought you were surely dead!" Yugi cried. "I would never die, Yugi. I won't leave you alone." he whispered, kissing his forehead lightly before looking to Keara. "Now, don't you have something to settle with Kaiba?" he questioned and she nodded. "Yes. Yes I do. Come on, Aqua." she said and they started making their way towards the dome after Aqua placed Yugi back down. Aqua opened the door and Keara entered, looking towards Kaiba. "Kaiba, if I actually cared, I would be ashamed of you but the only thing I'm ashamed of was the things you forced Yami and Aqua through for revenge." she said.
"But I wanted to win. I wanted them to feel the sting of defeat that I felt! I don't lose at any game but they...they humiliated me!" he growledd but his eyes widened as he held a hand up to his reddened cheek. Keara snarled in anger as she lowered her hand after slapping Kaiba. "You disgust me! I never saw such a selfish, self-centered person in all my life! Kaiba, if you want a true win, learn to put faith and trust into your cards like Yami did. Only then will your win feel like a good one and not some win only fueled by revenge towards your opponent. But, of course, you won't learn that lesson with darkness still reigning you heart." she said and turned to Aqua.
"If you will." He nodded and glared at Kaiba. "I can already see that, like your brother, the loser will have to go through a penalty game and I'm guessing yours was the same as the one our koi's jii-chan went through. With us, the penalty for losing is death but I won't do that to you. Oh no...instead I will destroy the part of your heart filled with evil!" he hissed, Sennen Eye glowing. "Mind Crush!" he roared as he breathed out a dark, magical flame that wrapped around his mind, making quick work of the evil. The children gasped at the spectacle, already shocked at seeing Kaiba lose. Inside of him, he felt like his heart was breaking apart into puzzle pieces and once the flames disappeared, his eyes were dulled but he was still breathing.
"Learn from this and maybe you can challenge one of us again." Aqua murmured. Back where the others were, one of the guards got up before grabbing hold of Jounouchi and held the gun up to his face. "You little brat! You'll pay for this!" The guard growled. "Jou-kun!" Yugi cried and Yami looked back to them before snarling in anger and shadows started pooling around his feet, slithering towards the guard and would've impaled him if a voice didn't break the silence. "Let him go!" Mokuba said as he stepped in. "M-Mokuba-sama!"
"I said let him go! The game is over!"
"Y-yes sir!" The guard spoke before releasing Jou. "Is that Kaiba's..." Honda started and Jounouchi nodded. "Yeah, his little brother. He's just as big of a creep as his brother!" Jounouchi muttered. "Well, that "creep" saved our lives actually." Honda said, getting a confused glance from Jou. "What do you mean?"
"We were locked in that room, cubes still dropping. Aqua told me that he was a demon and was planning to get us out but he couldn't do much with the blocks still dropping and him not knowing where they would land. They soon stopped and we heard him telling up that he shut off the machine. After that, Aqua turned demon and removed the block on my jacket and then removed the one blocking the exit from that room." Honda explained. "Don't take it personally! I just owed Yami a favor..." he grumbled. Yami, Aqua and Keara soon arrived back with the group and they smiled. "Yami! I can't believe ya did it!" Jounouchi said happily as he slung an arm around his shoulders. Honda smiled as well.
"Great to know you defeated Kaiba! Wish Aqua and I could've been here to see it." he said. "I wouldn't have made it if you all weren't behind me to support me. You may think demons can't fear something but I did in that duel. Facing down three Blue Eyes White Dragons and only one draw that would determine the end of it all was frightening. Any normal person would've probably broken down and surrendered." Yami said. "Glad ta help! Ya may be demons but you're still our friends!" Jounouchi said. Mokuba took a glance at them before calling the men and was about to walk off. "Mokuba..." Zella called softly and he gazed at her from the corner of his eye.
"Can you tell me something? Why did Kaiba do all this? Why did he plan this revenge...?" she asked. He was silent before he spoke up. "It all started with that chess game..."
"When my brothers, Seto and Ruby, were ten and I was five...we had already lost our parents...mother died soon after I was born...father died in an accident when I was three...
"Our relatives used up our inheritance, then left us at an orphanage! But life at the orphanage wasn't all that bad. Seto taught me chess. We lived to play each day...but that time...when that picture was taken...was the last time I saw my brothers smile. Not long after that...he came to the orphanage...to adopt an heir...Gozaburo Kaiba...Seto knew he was the president of Kaiba Corp...and a world grandmaster of chess. Seto challenged him. "The deal was that if Seto won, he was to adopt him, Ruby and myself...and he won...but he won by cheating! And so our last name was changed to Kaiba but Ruby changed his to Jewelstone but he was still considered part of the family...but the life we began that day as the opposite of what we had hoped for! That man was a monster.
"He put Seto and Ruby into a special accelerated school program. Day in and day out, he forced them to study: foreign languages, social studies, economics, game strategy...it was like endless torture...but what he didn't realize was that he wasn't creating his heirs...he was creating powerful enemies! Six years later, they gained control of the company and Gozaburo left. But he came back to deal with why Seto was taking so long with the Death-T project and he told him the reason. This angered him and Seto pinned him as a loser and like all losers they should be dealt with and Gozaburo did just that, killing himself. That notion was burned into his mind and now he thinks all losers deserve death. If he hadn't cheated at that game that day...maybe I would still have my brothers...the way they used to be...maybe they wouldn't have forgotten to smile..." he finished, tears coursing down his face.
"Mokuba...right now, Kaiba is picking up his pieces of his heart in the darkness..." Aqua whispered. "Huh...?" He looked towards him and still saw the same dulled look in his eyes. "He's reassembling the shattered puzzle of his heart! One piece at a time, with his own strength...so that this time, he won't make mistakes." Just as Aqua said, a younger version of Kaiba was sorting through the pieces of his heart, trying to put them together. He smiled softly when he found two pieces that connected. "Aqua...my brother will come back, won't he...and what about Ruby...?" Mokuba asked. "He will come back and Ruby will be fine. Unlike Kaiba, he can sort out his own heart and break free from the demon that reigns there. He follows Kaiba just like you do even though they're equal in power so the demon inside of him doesn't control him as much as the one within Kaiba did." he explained.
'That might explain why Ruby thought that Yami or Aqua wouldn't lose at all, even if the chances of Seto's defeat could ruin them and the company...' Mokuba thought then smiled. "I'll wait for your forever...I promise, nii-sama...forever..." Mokuba whispered. They smiled to him before they all left out from Kaiba Land, happy to be done with the theme park of death. Jounouchi left the group to call the hospital and came back with a grin. "Hey, Yugi! I called the hospital! Hanasaki told me that yer grandfather's surgery went great! They say he's the healthiest collectible card game player they've ever seen!" Jounouchi exclaimed and Yugi smiled as he jumped into Yami's arms. "Jii-chan's ok!" he said happily.
"We're both glad to hear that." Yami said before he looked around. "Hey, where'd Keara go?" he asked. "She said she wanted to do something real quick but she'll be back in a minute or two." Zella said. "Let's wait for her and then we can go visit jii-chan!" Yugi said and they nodded. "I'm going too!" Johji said. "You go to sleep!" Honda growled. "Boy, it was a long day, wasn't it?" Jounouchi questioned. 'Come to think of it, when did Yami and Aqua returned to normal...?' he thought but didn't ponder on it more. Keara soon came back and they turned to her. "Whoa, where did he come from?" Jounouchi asked, pointing to the young dragon in her arms.
"From a place you wouldn't believe unless you see it for yourself. She's the same Blue Eyes that Kaiba ripped up." Keara explained, pointing to the wound on her stomach that was healed but left a scar. "Why did you bring her from wherever you got him from?" Honda asked. "To give to Yugi's grandfather. I know that this Blue Eyes holds a very close bond between him and someone else and I don't want to see that bond ruined because of Kaiba ripping up the card that meant so much to him." Keara said. "That's great! That would make jii-chan very happy." Yugi said as he asked for the dragon and Keara happily let him hold her. The dragon cooed softly and nuzzled his chest, making him smile.
"We should be going before it gets late, Yugi." Aqua said and he nodded as they all left to head to the hospital to see Sugoroku.

Zypher: And that's the end of Death-T! Glad that you all enjoyed these chapters and now we're getting close to Monster World and the introduction of Ryou and Diamond! But, of course, we won't be getting to that so early. I have much more planned for Yugi and his two demon lovers before they go on with the last journey of this story. But I know you'll all enjoy them as always! And before I forget, since I forgot about the last kiriban I made in the first place, the next one will be at 135 reviews! So keep them coming and tell me when you reach it! See you soon!
Note: The black flames that Aqua used is one of the abilities I've given to him a long while back, basically when I first created him and had my imagination add him as I watched Yugioh itself. It's mainly shadow magic formed into flames that contain the same abilities as Yami's Mind Crush but can also be used to deal penalty games that doesn't involve death to the loser and bring monsters from the Shadow Realm if needed.
But of course all these abilities won't be showing up until the sequel but it is a nice little way to know more about Aqua when it comes to stories of him being a spirit or something that comes from the Sennen Puzzle since I created these way before I started writing stories, just never got to them since none of my stories contain full-blown duels. Same goes for the ability to merge with monsters that all my original Yugioh characters have, both real and virtual. For some reason I think it's a stupid or crazy ability I gave to them but I couldn't help it. You tell me what you think and that will tell me whether to keep them with that ability or give it up during the sequel.
