Once it started to get closer to dusk, Yugi stood outside with his friends. "Well, it was great having you guys over. I hope you can come back." Yugi spoke. "Don't worry, Yugi. After these four days are up, we'll all come back so we don't have to worry about the demons." Diamond reassured as they got ready to leave "See you soon, Yugi!" Malik called as he waved back to him as he and Ryou headed in the direction back to Phoenox and Kaiser went the other way to get back to Agido. Yugi waved to them before he went inside. Once he and Jounouchi reached the entrance to Agido, two draconian soldiers escorted them back to their house. "Hey, what's goin' on?" Jounouchi asked. "I'm sorry, Jounouchi, but the village has decided for you and Kaiser to be tonight's offering." One of the soldiers replied. 'Oh no. I hope this wasn't gonna happen so soon. We're not ready to encounter those demons again.' he thought. "Are ya sure ya couldn't turn this around? Kaiser and I aren't ready for this." Jounouchi murmured. "I'm sorry, Jounouchi. Your mother tried but a single person couldn't out rule an entire village." The other said and Jounouchi nodded. "I guess we have to do this." Kaiser whispered as they reached their home.

"You have until the moon's light starts to show through the clouds then we have to take you down to the symbol." The first soldier spoke before they headed off. Jounouchi and Kaiser nodded before heading inside. Shizuka looked up to see her brothers and ran to them, wrapping her arms around them and started to cry. "I don't want you to go, Katsuya!" she cried, holding onto them. "I know, sis. We don't wanna either but we have no choice." Jounouchi murmured, hugging her back before they headed into the kitchen to see their mom sitting at the table. "Oh Jounouchi...Kaiser. I don't want you to leave." Tsukiyume whispered pitifully. "I know, kaa-san, but what choice do we have in the matter? We all want peace in the village from the demons and each village tries their best to satisfy them. If we are the chosen ones then Agido will be safe forever." Jounouchi murmured.

Tsukiyume closed her eyes and sighed. "I'll just have to get used to this. We will miss you very much but we will be ok after a while. I hope." Tsukiyume murmured. "Well, with the time we have left, we better spend as much time as we can." Kaiser said and they nodded.

A few hours later there was a knock at the door and Shizuka answered it. The two soldiers from earlier were at the door. "We're here to pick up Jounouchi and Kaiser." The first soldier called and she nodded. "Katsuya, Kaiser, they're here." Shizuka called and they came from their room. They walked over to the door and before they left, they gave her one last hug.

"Shizuka, since we might not come back again, I want ya ta protect yourself and kaa-san. I don't want ta ever know that you've been hurt in any way. Ok?" Jounouchi said and she nodded, tears gathering in her eyes again as they left. "I'll miss you, onii-chan." Shizuka said quietly as they left from her sight.

Soon, they reached the symbol just as the moon started to appear. "Well, Jounouchi, Kaiser. I will hate to see you guys leave but if you are the chosen ones then your sacrifice won't be in vain." The other soldier said. "It's ok Garnet, we won't let the village down." Jounouchi said, giving his hometown friend a pat on the shoulder. Garnet smiled before he and the other soldier headed back a bit so the demons wouldn't see them. Captain Yomi has given the orders to see what color the symbol's eye was to become based on Jounouchi and Kaiser's sacrifice. A slight breeze blew past them and Jounouchi looked around. He heard something from above but when he turned to look, he was snatched up by a pair of sapphire claws.

Kaiser gasped as was going to run after him but he was taken off the ground as well by a set of ruby claws. Garnet watched the symbol closely and watched as it shifted colors before it stopped on white. "The demons are satisfied completely! Our village is safe now!" Garnet gasped and he left with the other soldier to report the good news. 'I hope you will live a good life, Jounouchi and Kaiser.' Garnet thought.

Jounouchi was scared but seeing as the demon wasn't attacking yet, he believed that he as well as Kaiser were safe for the moment. Seto and Ruby was surprised to see that they two boys they saved from Bakura and Crimson so many years ago happened to be the offering but they were happy about it either way. They wanted to see the two once again but they only saw them through the shelter of their forest home or in the Moonlight Sakura Field. They flew some more before landing in the forest that is found between Agido and Daisure. Seto placed Jounouchi down gently and he looked up to him. "So, what's gonna happen ta us...?" he inquired softly. "Nothing shall happen to you or to Kaiser. If you recall what happened years ago, I gave you the scale that's around your neck and you wished to see me again. So it was granted." Seto replied. "Oh yeah, the note we gotten." Kaiser murmured. "If you ever needed us, just wish it on the scale." Both Jounouchi and Seto spoke, Jounouchi taking a look down to the scale.

'So that scale granted my wish of wanting to see him again.' Jounouchi thought. "So is this what you want, Jounouchi?" Seto questioned, his sensitive hearing picking up his name as they were close to the symbol. "If we stay, will you not harm the village anymore?" Kaiser asked and they nodded. "Ok then, we'll stay." Jounouchi replied, making Seto smiled, glad that the two are willing to stay with them now and forever. "Well, it's late, we best get some sleep now." Ruby spoke as they headed into the cave to get some sleep but unnoticed to them, a hunter demon watched them. 'So Seto and Ruby finally found someone. Master Otogi will be happy to know of this.' The demon thought before running off to the forbidden part of the Northern side which hosts evil demons that had been banished...
