Yami no Game: Death's Awakening

Epilogue

0

After the Monster World mishap, everything was peaceful with no threats of danger towards them at all. And to celebrate this moment of peace they had, they all decided to have a day worth of fun. Yugi was already getting dressed while Yami and Aqua stayed downstairs, waiting for him. He bounded down the stairs and over to them with a smile.

"Ready yet?" he asked as they nodded. "We're ready. Do you have everything?" Yami questioned. "Yep! Towels for when we go to the beach, an extra pair of clothes, packed away some extra food and money for games and such." Yugi said as he placed the duffel bag over his shoulder. "Ok then. Jounouchi called a few minutes ago and said they were all heading to Domino Park now so we should be getting there ourselves. Keara already left and said she will meet us there." Yami stated and Yugi nodded. "Can we take the shadow express?" Aqua chuckled but nodded.

"Sure. I never will learn how you came up with that name." Aqua hummed before they walked over the shadows upon the wall and taking Yugi's hand, he walked through the shadows, Yami following behind him. Yugi climbed onto Aqua's back and he along with Yami unfurled their wings and started making their way through towards the park, easily locating it.

Jounouchi, Zella, Keara, Ryou, Diamond and Honda waited at the gate for Yami, Yugi and Aqua and saw rippling in the shadows nearby. "There they are!" The three appeared before walking over to them. "Hi everyone!" Yugi called as he ran over to them while the two demons followed behind him at a slower pace. They all talked for a moment before heading into the park.

They headed to the water park first and Jounouchi, Honda, Zella and Yugi played in the water and had fun on the Wonder Slider while Keara, Aqua and Yami sat in the chairs, watching them. "Yugi truly is a magnificent person, isn't he?" Keara whispered and Yami agreed. "Yes and I hope that we will stay together forever with nothing or no one trying to separate us. I don't know what I'll do if something actually takes Yugi away." Yami murmured. "I'm sure neither you nor Aqua would search to your fullest to find him if he was to ever be snatched from your loving arms. And not only that but I will help and punish whoever dares to take Yugi away from you both."

Yami smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Keara."

They sat there for a while longer, watching Yugi, Zella and Honda team up to dunk Jounouchi. Soon, Yugi came out of the pool and ran over to Aqua. "Come on, Aqua! Come play a game with us!" he called happily. Aqua chuckled softly and got up to follow him over to the pool and dived in. Jounouchi saw this and pouted. "No fair! Ya can't use demon strength in the game!" Jounouchi whined. But before he could react, he was dragged underwater with a yelp and Aqua poked his head out from the depths. "Who says you need demon strength when you can just sneak on someone unsuspectingly?" he replied with a laugh.

The others laughed as well as Jounouchi came back up, still pouting. "Ha ha, very funny." They played in the pool for a while longer before they all got out and went to get dressed before heading out into the main park. Zella, Honda and Jounouchi went to ride on some park rides while Yugi decided to stay with Yami and Aqua. After a few rollercoaster rides, they took a small break at a snack stand, not eating much since they still had their planned picnic at the Domino City park. After a few more rides, dragging the demons onto one rollercoaster and surprisingly, they enjoyed it, they left the park and headed for the beach.

Again, Jounouchi, Zella and Honda jumped into the water for another round of seeing who can dunk the other underwater. Yami conjured up a large umbrella for them to use and both Ryou and Keara sat in the cool shade, talking with one another since this was the first time they met. Aqua sat under the umbrella as well while Yami and Yugi joined the others in the water, playing various games until it started getting close to noon so they decided to leave the beach for today and head over to the arcade.

They played a few games there, many little kids gathering around to see Yugi get a high score in just about every game he played before they left for the park to have their small picnic. As they were nearing the park, Jounouchi had a grin plastered on his face and he looked to the others. "Last one there is a rotten egg!" he teased joyfully before running off. "Hey! No fair!" Zella said just as jovially as she and Honda started for the blonde's retreating form. Yugi laughed softly as he watched them run off before looking up to Aqua, his question being shown through his eyes.

He looked down to him before smiling and standing on all fours, Yugi jumping onto his back and he ran off towards his racing friends. He laughed more as Aqua came by them, each giving a surprised look before they tried to catch up with him. When Aqua stopped at an open field with a large tree for shade, Yugi climbed off his back and grinned as they stopped, panting hard. "Guess I won." he said with an even bigger grin. "That's just because ya got a free ride." Jounouchi said playfully before running over, tackling him down with a laugh. Honda and Zella, after placing the basket of food that she prepared for their picnic down in the shade, they joined in the fun, rolling around in the grass like playful puppies, each trying to outdo the other. Diamond, Yami, Ryou and Keara soon arrive and smiled as seeing them.

"At least I'm happy to have a day where we can have fun and not worry about anything life threatening to everyone." Yami said as he saw Aqua lay out the blanket and they went over to sit down. Ryou lowered his head, remembering the last bout of danger that they got into. "We're really sorry for what our demons got you and the others into. If I could, I would've had control over the situation but he's just too strong. Even Diamond couldn't fight the spirit inside her pendant from controlling her. After that, I still think we don't even deserve to have your friendship." Ryou whispered softly, taking the crystal heart into his hand and looked down to it.

Yami looked to him and placed a hand upon his shoulder. "Ryou, remember, it wasn't your fault and it wasn't Diamond's fault that you both couldn't hold them back. They're demons and it's hard to suppress demons from trying anything. It was easy for Yugi when it came to us since we would grant him any wish he desired. But Bakura and Crimson, they grant you both wishes but in a gruesome way. With the freedom they get by sealing you two away leaves those two to have chances to gain souls and enough will give them the chance to grant them a body." Yami explained and Ryou shivered at the thought.

'I can't let him be free. There's was something eerie about the way he speaks to me. Like he wants me more than a master to him.' Ryou thought. "But, how can we get rid of them? Should we throw away the items?" he asked. "That may work but if they're desperate to keep you as their hosts, the Ring and Gem would find its way back to you two. As long as you don't wear them, that will keep them within the items and prevent them from possessing you both again." Aqua spoke, looking to him. Ryou nodded before looking back towards the others who were still playing games before getting up to join them.

After a while, they stopped their fun and came over to the blanket to eat and talked about random things that come to mind. Yugi snuggled up close to Aqua, making him smile as he curled his tail around his waist. Once they finished, they all relaxed, enjoying the day before the sun started to set and they all decided that it was time to head home. They packed everything away and stopped at the entrance to the park, looking to one another. "Well, all in all, today was a great day." Jounouchi spoke as he looked to them. "Yeah, nothing to worry about and just pure fun for all of us." Zella added with a smile.

"After everything we've been through, you never think we would have days like this again." Honda whispered. "But we won't let that happen. You all deserve to have fun, not be put into danger. We will try our best to prevent that. You stuck with us through thick and thin and we repay that by taking care of the problem so days like these can happen." Aqua said before looking down slightly. "We could never enjoy days like these in the past and with us having a new start at life again, we want to have the chance to make up for many millennia of lost time."

"And we're going ta make sure you have fun! Ya may be demons but that doesn't mean ya can't have fun occasionally! No matter what, we will stick by yer side and defeat whatever threatens people and along with that, give ya the chance to have fun and make new friends!" Jounouchi said proudly and Aqua looked up to him with a smile. Yami smiled as well. "And we thank you all for that." Yami whispered before they all parted ways and Yami, Keara, Yugi and Aqua started making their way back to the shop.

As they arrived, the headed inside and Keara decided to prepare dinner for them. Yugi headed upstairs with Yami and Aqua following and went to lay down on his bed with a happy sigh, Yami coming to sit beside him. "I'm glad we were able to spend this day together with all my friends and with you two. This was a perfect day to just relax and forget about what happened in the past." Yugi said as he looked to Yami. "I'm happy to have this day of relaxation as well. But soon, danger may come again and we must be prepared for it. We would hate to drag you into it but I know that we can't leave you in the dark with anything." Yami murmured.

Yugi sat back up and wrapped his arms around him. "I know you don't want me to get hurt but I can't leave either of you to face anything alone. I pledge my love to you both and I will never dare to leave your side. I never want to and I'm not going to have petty dangers keep me from being there for you. Our souls are one and I'm not going to let anything break that bond we share." Yugi whispered and Yami smiled as he leaned down to place a soft kiss upon Yugi's lips.

"Thank you, Yugi. Not just for freeing us from our prison but for giving us the love we always wanted. No one could hold a place in my heart like you do."

"And no one could complete me like you do. The both of you. I will never leave either of you..." Yugi whispered.

Never...

Zypher: And that's it! The end! Finito! Owari and other translations of End! I will miss this story since it was fun to write but you all know a sequel is in the making and it shall be up soon. Probably tomorrow at the most. There shall be just one more chapter for this and that's another epilogue going into a bit about Bakura and Crimson's thoughts and plans with trying to free themselves from their items again which may stem out from the ending of the Last Die Roll chapter so keep an eye out for that but all in all, this is the true ending of Yami no Game and I'm glad you all enjoyed it so much. Time to say goodbye for now but I'll be back with the sequel soon enough. See you all later.
