Ninth...please let this be better...

I am soooooo sorry it took me so long to update, I had a major case of writer's block, plus we're taking a whole bunch of tests at school, and the homework is piling up... but I blabbing, on with the fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh, wish I did, but don't. I don't own anything I quote. Again, I am just borrowing.

Warnings:

I am going to be using the dub names, mainly because I'm used to calling them by those names, sorry if this is an inconvenience to anyone, sorry again. Bakura(Yami Bakura) has come back because he was given a second chance at a happy life, and Seto Kaiba isn't as annoyed by them anymore, since Egypt, you could say he's an acquaintance of theirs'..what else, oh yeah, Ryou and Bakura are in separate bodies. There will be OC's(original Characters) in this fic, I may also forget a few of the people because there are so many, remember you have been warned of my forgetfulness. Alright, this is like a little spin off of my first fic, Neveralone, it's set a few days afterward, if you didn't read it, you won't be to lost but reading it could help. Again, wrote this out of boredom, remember, you have been warned. And, I'm very sorry for my spelling and grammar, I type fast, and I get typos a lot, again, sorry.

Summary: It has been five Millennia since the Evil One's destruction, now that she has returned, it's up to the gang with old friends and new to stop her. And who's to say that love won't blossom along the way.

While the others were dealing with their problems, Duke and Glacia were in the hospital cafeteria, having some problems of their own.

"AHHHH!" screamed Glacia as she ducked behind a table, which had been turned over to be used as a shield. Apparently, they were involved in a food fight with some of the mindless zombies, if you call being under attack as involved.

"You know, for brainless zombies, they have pretty good aim." said Duke.

"YA THINK!" screamed Glacia as she tried to get, what appeared to be spaghetti out of her hair.

"Hey, why don't you just use your magic?" asked Duke. Glacia just stared, completely embarrassed she didn't think of that sooner.

"ELEMENTAL POWERS ACTIVATE!" screamed Glacia as she held her crystal up, after regaining her composure. The crystal glowed a bright icy blue light, surrounding her in its glow. As it faded, Glacia was in her Ice Blue dress, with a look of determination in her eyes.

"Alright zombie freaks, prepare to be iced!" said Glacia, after she said this, the "zombies" threw more food at them. As it neared them, Glacia held her hands toward the oncoming food and said...

"BLIZZARD BLAST!" screamed Glacia, Ice particles soon formed around her hands. As she pushed her hands in a forward motion, the ice around her hand was launched towards the oncoming food, along with hitting the food, the iced caused a cloud of mist to form. When the mist cleared, all that was left was, a pile of frozen food, and a crowd of zombies encased in ice, giving Duke reason to rise from his hiding place.

"You know, you could've helped." said Glacia.

"Na, you had it covered. Great job on beating them, but, are you sure they won't freeze to death?" asked Duke.

"Don't worry, the ice will melt, besides, while their like this, they can't feel anything. Now come on, we have to find the others." said Glacia as she ran ahead, into a long dark hallway.

Meanwhile in a long hallway:

"AHHHH!" screamed Aurora as a "zombie" grabbed her leg.

"Aurora, hang on, CHAIN ENERGY" screamed Bakura as he held his magic card toward the crowd. Soon, everyone in the crowd had silver rings of light around them, preventing them from moving.

"Thanks Bakura," said Aurora as he helped her up, only to see the rings of light begin to fade.

"Run, that card's not going to last long!" said Bakura as they ran. He was right, the rings soon faded and the chase continued. As they continued to run, one of the "zombies" jumped over and landed in-front of them, causing them to back away.

"Now What?" asked Ryou. All hope seemed lost, the crowd closed in around them. The gang closed their eyes, hoping it was all a dream. They could hear the zombies' footsteps getting closer and closer, until suddenly, everyone in the crowd screamed, but not in an attack, but in a mixture of fear and surprise. They opened their eyes shocked to see the crowd of mindless people was completely covered from head to toe in ice.

"Glacia, Duke, it's so good to see you." said Flannery as she hugged them.

"Yeah same goes for us. But, why didn't you guys just use your magic? I mean, you all have it." said Glacia, causing all four of them to sweat drop.

"You're one to talk, you forgot about your magic too." said Duke with a smile, only to receive a icy punch in the arm. After seeing Duke get punched, the gang erupted into laughter, as they continued walking to Kisara's room.

Meanwhile in a stair-well:

"AHH! GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME CREEP!" screamed Tea as she kicked at the mind-slave at her leg.

" TEA! MIND CRUSH!" screamed Atem as he held out his hand to the "zombie". Within an instant, it fell to the ground with a moan.

"Tea... are you alright?" asked Atem as he hugged her tight.

"I am now, thank you." said Tea as she returned the hug.

"We should probably continue finding Kisara's room, there could be more of these mind-slaves nearby." said Atem. As they continued to walk up the stair-well, all the while, remaining in each others' arms. It only took a few more steps until they had finally reached the door to the third floor. As they opened the door, they could feel the un-nerving chill in the air, pulsating through the dimly lit corridor. No matter how dank and terrifying it seemed, the couple proceeded down the hall towards Kisara's room.

In the Morgue:

"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU UNDEAD FREAKS!" screamed Mokuba as he hid behind Marik.

"Y-Yeah... g-get... b-back!" stuttered Marik as he held a chair out in front of him, in self defense.

In response to the chair, one of the zombies swatted away the chair as more zombies surrounded the gang, the Millennium symbol glowing brightly on their foreheads. Now these aren't mind controlled people acting like zombies, these are actual zombies, you know the dead kind. Anyway, the zombies were surrounding them, each moving closer and closer, one grabbed Flora's arm, causing her to cringe in shock and fear.

" AHH! DON'T TOUCH ME!" screamed Flora as she tried to hit the zombie away with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes to see if the zombie was gone, she was greeted with the ugly truth.

"DE-TACHED UN-DEAD ARM ON ME! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" screamed Flora as she ran around in circles, the un-dead arm flailing about as she ran.

"Alright Flora, just calm down, we need you to use your magic to get rid of these zombies, ok?" said Marik, trying to calm her down.

"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY! YOU DON'T HAVE AN ARM ATTACKING YOU!" screamed Flora, still running in circles, causing the boys to sweat drop.

"I guess it's up to you Yugi ... you think you can do it?" asked Mokuba unsure.

"I'll try..." said Yugi as he searched his deck for the right card.

"SWORDS OF REVEALING LIGHT!" screamed Yugi as he held his card. The card, along with the Millennium Puzzle Pendant, began to glow, when the light faded swords pinned the zombies to the ground, as Yugi fell to his knees.

"Yugi .. are you alright?" asked Marik as he helped him up.

"Yeah, but those swords aren't going to last long, Flora are you ok n..." started Yugi, until he saw that Flora had collapsed swirly-eyed, causing the boys to sweat-drop yet again as they dragged Flora out of the Morgue.

Meanwhile in some hallway:

"AHH! TRISTAN, HE'S YOUR FRIEND! TRY TO TALK SOME SENCE INTO HIM!" screamed Sparks. She and Tristan were still running from Joey and the other mind-slaves.

"WHY ME? YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE MAGIC POWERS! YOU DO SOMETHING!" screamed Tristan.

"HELLO, WARRIOR OF THUNDER! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO! ELECTRICUTE HIM?" screamed Sparks.

"WELL SORRY! SO...DOES THAT MEAN WE JUST KEEP RUNNING! OR DO WE... OW!" started Tristan until something stopped him in his tracks.

"Ow... that's going to hurt in the morning." said a voice.

"Huh... Marik?" asked Tristan. Yes, the one who Tristan had run into was indeed Marik.

"Tristan.. Sparks, where have you been? And... where's Joey? We've been worried sick about you." said Marik, as he was soon joined by Yugi and Mokuba still trying to drag Flora.

"We've kinda been running from some unwelcome company... and Joey... JOEY!" screamed Tristan, as if he had just remembered something important.

"What? What's wrong with Joey?" asked Yugi in concern.

"We should start running... NOW!" said Tristan as he and Sparks tried to drag their four confused friends, with no luck.

"What are you guys doing! Where's Joey?" asked Mokuba confused.

" JOEY...ZOMBIE... CHASE!" said Sparks and Tristan as they tried to pull the friends along.

"Joey was chased by a zombie?" asked Marik, still confused. To answer the question, Joey suddenly appeared from the shadows of the hallway, but he wasn't alone. He was accompanied by a crowd of mind-slaves, each had the Millennium Symbol on their foreheads.

"AHHH!" screamed the gang as they ran.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US HE WAS A MIND-SLAVE!" asked Mokuba.

"HELLO, WE JUST DID!" screamed Sparks. They continued their run down the long dark hallway.

They were inching their way closer and closer to the door, they were a couple feet from it now. The dark and gloomy hallway seemed endless, and the chilly feeling in the air still lingered, a constant reminder to be wary of their surroundings. Now inches from the door, with Tea safely behind him, Atem reached for the door, turning the handle ever so slowly.

The door opened slowly with a creek, the room was just as dark; if darker. The room was just like any hospital room, a few pieces of furniture, a TV, and a bed. In the bed was their friend, Kisara, though, she seemed even paler than before. It would have appeared that she had trouble breathing, seeing as she had a oxygen mask on and had only taken slow shallow breathes. Sitting by her bedside, with his back turned, was what appeared to be Seto Kaiba, though he didn't look it. His hair was a mess, instead of sitting straight like he usually did, instead he slumped over in his chair.

"Kaiba... are you alright?" asked Tea as she moved out from behind Atem, only to see him continue to slump, until he finally spoke.

"This... this wasn't supposed to happen... not again..." said Kaiba, the tone of his voice proof of what state of being he was in.

"What wasn't supposed to happen?" asked Tea.

"THIS! She wasn't supposed to hurt anymore... and what's worse... it's my fault again." said Kaiba.

"What do you mean?" asked Tea. Atem turned to her and began to explain.

"Kisara was in the past too, she and Seto met in the market, she was in the process of being stoned by a group of villagers. He stopped them and brought her back to the palace so that our doctors would take care of her, but Aknadin had other plans. He wanted to steal her Ka monster so that Seto, his son, would have enough power to become the new pharaoh. Seto didn't want to be involved though, so he tried to get away from his crazed father, though his father didn't take it to well." said Atem.

"He attacked me... knowing that Kisara would do anything for me... even sacrifice her life for mine... and now... it's happening again... if I hadn't kept trying to avoid her... this never would have happened!" said Kaiba holding his head in his hands.

"Well if you cared about her that much, why were you trying to avoid her?" asked Tea.

"I was trying to protect her." said Kaiba.

"Well how was that protecting her?" asked Tea.

"It's just... whenever she's around me... she gets hurt... I don't want to see her hurt anymore." said Kaiba as he looked at Kisara's sleeping form.

"You truly love her, don't you." said Atem.

"..." was Kaiba's non talking answer.

"I'm sure she'll be fine... but why did you brainwash all of those people and send them after us?" asked Tea.

"I don't know... I thought if I got them all to focus on Kisara's problem she'd recover faster... and then they said that there were people in the hospital... plus I didn't want anyone to know how I feel about Kisara... I have a reputation to uphold... what do you know about love anyway.." said Kaiba.

"Well... you'd be surprised..." whispered Atem with a grin, glancing at Tea causing her to blush, sadly this didn't go un-noticed.

"YOU... AND... YOU !" questioned Kaiba as he pointed at the couple making them blush.

"Well.. yes... but you have to promise not to tell anyone and to free all of the min-slaves... unless you want us to tell about your secret..." pleaded Tea.

"I don't ... fine I promise I won't tell anyone and I'll let them go right now." said Kaiba as he raised the Millennium Rod and closed his eyes, the room seemed to brighten as the Rod began to glow.

Meanwhile downstairs:

"Will this hallway ever end?" wined Duke as he slumped as he walked.

"Come on... we've only been walking a few minutes, stop being such a baby." said Bakura.

"Yeah Duke, just relax... we're going to be out of here in no time." said Glacia, noe in her normal clothes.

"But I'm so tired and I have the funny feeling that we're being follo-AHHH!" said Duke as someone placed a hand on his shoulder. As a reflex, Duke grabbed the hand and flipped the owner over his head.

"Oh Duke, it's only Marik." said Flannery as she slaped her forehead.

"OW! WHY AM I ALWAYS THE ONE TO GET HURT?" screamed Marik as he clenched his head in his hands.

"Wow, Dude... I'm really sorry... I thought it was one of those zombie things and I..." said Duke until he was interrupted.

"ZOMBIES?" screamed Flora as she ran into a corner and began rocking back and forth in the fetal position.

"What's with her?" asked Aurora.

"We were attacked by zombies." said Yugi.

"So... we were too." said Bakura.

"Not like the ones that attacked us.. they were actual zombies. You know, the un-dead, drooling at the mouth, I shall eat your brain, type zombies!" said Mokuba.

"Wow... sounds rough." said Ryou.

"So... what have you guys been up t..." started Sparks until Bakura covered her mouth and shushed her.

"EXCUSE ME? NO ONE SHUSHES ME!" screamed Sparks.

"Quiet... don't you hear that..." whispered Bakura. The gang listened intently, it sounded like the rustling of feet on a cold tile floor. The sound grew closer and closer until, the figures emerged from the shadows. An army of brain washed people walking towards them.

"AHH! I THOUGHT WE LOST THEM, EVERYBODY RUN!" screamed Tristan. As the gang tried to run down the hall, another crowd of zombies came in front.

"Ok, genius now what?" asked Marik. The zombies grew closer and closer, their blank eyes void of emotion. The gang, to afraid to look closed their eyes and opened them again after a moment only to see, the zombies had stopped. But there was something different about them, their eyes no longer had that blank look in them and the Millennium Symbol was no longer on their foreheads, leaving them very dazed and confused.

" Huh? What the heck is going on here?" asked a very confused Joey.

"Joey? You're back to normal I was so worried!" screamed Sparks as she ran into his arms and hugged him only to let go as soon as she came, her face as red as a tomato. "I mean... we were so worried."

"Joe... good to see you back to normal." said Tristan as he held him in head lock.

"What are you talking about?" asked Joey still confused as ever.

All of the people that were under the control of the Rod were now free, including the deceased ones. When the Millennium Symbol faded, the bodies began to drop, one just happened to fall on Flora.

"AHHH! DEAD GUY ON ME! GET HIM OFF! GET HIM OFF!" screamed Flora.

While Flora freaks, lets see how the two groups of love birds are doing.

"There... I let them all go... it still didn't change anything... Kisara's still gone.." said Kaiba.

"It's going to take some patience... but I have faith that she'll be..." said Tea, until she was interrupted.

"STOP SAYING THAT! LOOK AT HER! DOES SHE LOOK LIKE SHE'S GOING TO BE FINE!" screamed Kaiba.

"Kaiba calm down... we know how you feel, but you have to.." said Atem until he too was interrupted.

"HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY KNOW? You both have each other... and I don't..." said Kaiba.

He began to move toward Kisara's bed side, only to kneel next to her, hold his head in his hands and weep.

"Please... Kisara... I don't want to loose you... not again... I love you." whispered Kaiba.

Suddenly, the window in her room opened letting the light of day come through. A strong, cold, wind filled the room, flowing around both couples.

"What's going on?" asked Tea as she tried to control her hair which was flowing in the wind uncontrollably.

"I don't know... just hold on." said Atem as he held tight to his love.

The wind blew Kisara's hair just as it did Tea's, but it not only blew her hair, it also the cords and IV's right off her. As soon as the wind came it left.

"What was that?" asked Tea as she tried to fix her hair.

"I don't know, but I don't think I want to know." said Kaiba, for some reason, he decided to look towards Kisara. Her breathing was steady and her eyes...

' Is she...?' thought Kaiba.

...began to twitch a bit... until they opened slightly.

"K-Kisara?" asked Kaiba in both happiness and surprise.

"Seto... did you just... tell me that you love me?" asked Kisara unsure.

"Yes... and...I-I mean it... I love you Kisara." said Kaiba.

"Oh Seto... I love you too." said Kisara in a weak tone, tears of happiness flowing from her eyes. The two young lovers embraced, joined together once again after five Millennia apart. Though they had no idea as to the origin of the strange wind, they didn't care...all they cared about...was each other...

Well, did you like or not, it would really help me if you answered honestly. I would also like to apologize if you thought this chapter sucked, I was trying to think of a good ending, if this isn't good it will just have to do. And the reason why it took me so long to update is because I have had so much homework lately. Thank you for the time you used to read this fic, I really appreciated it. I would also like to say, I accept anonymous reviews, so please review... thank you for reviewing.
