A bright light clouded his mind, feeling something warm and damp on his forehead. He slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurred. Pain shot up through his stomach, from when Sephiroth stabbed him the night before. His vision became clear, and he looked around the living room of the Kame Turtle Game Shop. All of the Protectors were crowded around him. He glanced at each individual Protector, a soft smile crossing his face. He then noticed Vincent sitting on the couch, his metal gauntlet over his left knee. He looked over at the Pharaoh, not saying anything. He looked up at the person who was placing the warm cloth onto his forehead.
"Yugi…" he whispered, tears starting to come to his eyes. The boy nodded lightly, moving the cloth into his hands. "I can't believe the Black Water Mist is gone."
"It was Vincent and Eatos that made that happen," Yugi told him. "I'm just glad the Mist didn't completely consume us…"
"What do you mean?" the Pharaoh inquired. "Did Sephiroth mention something?"
"He said that the Mist would cloud us in darkness in 24 hours," Yugi muttered. "We wouldn't be able to control it. It would take hold of us forever…" He smiled, glancing at Vincent. "I asked Vincent if he wanted to be a part of the Protectors of Domino, seeing how you were out cold for a few hours. He accepted." Atem looked up at Vincent, who just stared back at him, still silent. Atem looked down at his hands, which were trembling violently. Yugi took them into his, smiling. The Pharaoh's hands stopped trembling.
"You're fine now, Pharaoh," he whispered. "Sephiroth probably won't be trying to do anything like that again." Vincent glanced up at them.
"He's fatally wounded," he reminded them. "He's possibly trying to recover, and then, he'll want revenge." Atem looked over at Kairi and Toby, who were looking out the window, which was covered by light raindrops. Outside, Guardian Eatos watched them through the window, smiling at her son and daughter. Kairi wiped a tear from her right eye, while Toby just smiled back at their mother.
Atem couldn't help but feel sorrow for Kairi and Toby. He looked back over at Yugi, who was speaking with Brian and Joey. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo were all seated by the fire, the Fang Blade resting near the mantle. Vincent looked up at Cloud, who was staring out the window, wondering where Sephiroth was now. Leon was sitting near Edward and Al, who were practicing alchemy. Leon was polishing his Gunblade, moving a brown lock of hair away from his deep navy blue eyes.
The Pharaoh watched the Protectors, and then looked down at his hands once more. They were clenched into fists.
"You will pay for harming my friends, Sephiroth," he muttered.
What will happen as the Protectors enjoy this time of peace? Find out in chapter seven, I'll Stand By You.
