A/N: I'm going to start updating other stories more frequently now, I want them all to be finished ( or most of them) before I post another story.
Thanks to all my reviewers!
Please review so that I can update faster! =)
As the dragon approached him, Yugi stumbled backwards even though he couldn't get away from it. The dragon looked like it was in a rampage, it's tail swinging around knocking over and destroying whatever was in its path. The creatures growls and snarls were vicious and threatening that any second it's jaws may snap at him. Yugi was no match for this, especially without any kind of protection.
The only thing he could think to do was try and get the knife that Kaiba had stabbed into its shoulder. Maybe If he got to it then he could stab it again and hopefully kill it. The only problem was how he was going to get that close to the dragon and how he was going to overcome his fear of it. Kaiba had told him to not be afraid but that couldn't stop him from still feeling it, not every day had he needed to kill a dragon. He'd only heard stories about knights killing dragons, and Yugi was no knight.
Right now he wished he could be as brave as one, the dragon seemed extremely angry from the knife in its shoulder that if he tried to get to close surely it would claw or snap at him. Yugi really didn't want to lose an arm or any other part of him trying to get a knife out of a dragons shoulder. If only there was another way, somehow to get the dragon to somehow calm or become disoriented so that he could get to its shoulder easier.
When the dragon attempted to strike at him with its sharp claws he managed to back away just in time to miss. Yugi knew he didn't have very much time to think about this, the dragon was only getting more and more enraged.
Without much thought Yugi dashed past the dragon and out of the room, he then began running around crates, having no idea where he was going. He just knew that he needed time to think of a plan, he was probably making himself even more lost but that was the least of his worries. Yugi past hundreds of crates that were stacked on top of each other, each one he passed he was afraid would fall over him but he was more afraid of the dragon that was sure to be chasing after him.
Yugi glanced behind him to not see any sight of the dragon, hopefully it wouldn't catch on to where he had gone.
Finding a crate that was open just enough for him to fit through he ran to it and squeezed himself inside. For now this was the best place he could hide though he knew he couldn't forever. Yugi gazed around the inside of the darkened crate before walking to a wall and sliding down slowly. Yugi thought over possibilities one by one, but each were either too dangerous or he just wasn't brave enough to do.
The dragon completely terrified him but he needed to find a way to cope with it, was he afraid of it because he had yet to accept the memory that came with it? Deep down was that memory still burning away at him? Making him fear the dragon? Maybe if he accepted what had happened then he would no longer feel as afraid and a plan would come easier.
Yugi was still shaken up about losing his baby but he couldn't do anything about it, sometimes things just weren't meant to be and clearly that hadn't been meant for him. He still wished that he could have had a chance at a family, he had always wanted one, and with Kaiba would be like a dream. He knew he could always try again but what were the chances of it happening again? They were so incredibly unlikely that it could take months or even years for him to get pregnant again. By then he wasn't sure if he would still want the same things. Even if he did, would Kaiba?
He never had been completely sure if Kaiba had wanted to be a father. They never really talked about it, Yugi had just been so overjoyed when he found out he was pregnant that they didn't speak of if it was what they, as a couple, wanted. That had been why Yugi soon started thinking that Kaiba didn't care, and how he didn't love him anymore. Had those things even been true? Kaiba had always been very hard to read and he wasn't all too good at expressing emotion, so maybe he had wanted the baby just as badly as Yugi. He just never said anything about it.
If only he hadn't of fought with Kaiba, everything always seemed to go back to that. If he hadn't of then none of this would be happening, there wouldn't be another Kaiba, there wouldn't be monsters after him, and Kaiba wouldn't be a spirit. Yugi really still didn't understand how any of this was possible but he just went along with it, it really wasn't like he had much of a choice to. He wished that things weren't this hard, having to kill monstrous beasts wasn't really something he enjoyed.
But it was the only way he could return things to normal. That was all he wanted.
A roar so loud that it shook his insides interrupted his thoughts, the dragon was clearly angered by the fact that it had lost him. When he began hearing the sound of crashing mental was when he really became afraid, was the dragon ripping open crates? Or was it knocking them over? The dragon was large enough to possibly pick up one, it could easily knock one over or rip open up with its razor sharp claws.
Still not having a plan in mind as the sounds came closer Yugi crawled over to the slit in the crate he had entered from. He gazed outside of it and saw the dragon tearing through a crate in front of him, it even was using it's jaws to pry some of the metal apart, Yugi had never seen anything like it before. The strength the beast had was incredible, and it was only one of his memories. Did the fact that the memory was so strong to Yugi make the dragon stronger?
He was unsure as it stopped ripping up the crate and turned to look at the crate Yugi was in, he wasn't sure if it could see him but really hoped that it couldn't.
All of a sudden the dragon ran at the crate, making Yugi fall backwards and have his head hit the metal behind him. He couldn't help but whimper out of pain and regretted doing so quickly when he heard the dragon snarl from the other side.
Yugi watched out of shock and fear as the whole front part of the crate was torn off, when he was in complete sight of the dragon it roared viciously at him. Yugi tried to back up more but he was trapped once again, this time he knew Kaiba wouldn't be saving him.
The dragon tossed the large piece of metal behind it, that causing a crate from the pile behind the crate it had torn up to tumble. A white crate landing on the dragon's back. Yugi watched it lay still, was it dead? Was it possible that it had killed itself? Yugi wasn't sure but he took this as an opportunity to get to its shoulder that was luckily still visible, he crawled closer to the dragon and grabbed the handle of the knife.
All the while he tried pulling it out he would glance to its face, making sure that it's eyes wouldn't open and it wouldn't bite at him. The dragon wasn't dead, he could tell it was breathing through its nostrils since they flared. Was it unconscious then?
Miraculously Yugi pulled out the knife from the dragon, hearing a short painful growl from the beast. Yugi looked over the knife, seeing dried and fresh blood on it he moved to be closer to the head of the monster. He held up the knife and readied to stab it like he had the snake before suddenly finding himself unable to do it. As Yugi stared at the face of the dragon he felt a horrible sick feeling wash over him, he felt like stabbing it wasn't right.
Was this feeling coming from the memory? Could he not kill the dragon because he felt like it represented his baby that had died?
He wasn't sure as he lowered the knife, sudden tears overwhelming his bright purple eyes. Yugi let go of the knife and held his hand closer to the dragon, he slowly moved it closer until his hand was touching it's snout.
All of a sudden it's eyes opened, they were red before beginning to slowly change, something that was an incredible sight. Slowly, the red faded and it's eyes turned bright blue. Yugi quickly removed his hand from it and scooted away while picking up the knife again. He wasn't sure what was going to happen next.
The dragon managed to push the crate off of itself, once it was free Yugi noticed that the markings on it also turned blue. What did this mean? It stared at Yugi for a long moment before coming closer to him, Yugi attempted to get away but it grabbed him before he could. When in the dragons grasp he was brought out of the crate and looked at again, all the while Yugi was squirming trying to get free. The knife was still in his hand but the dragon's fingers held him to tightly for him to try and defend himself with it.
He expected it to crush him or bite him, but had not been expecting for it to flap it's wings and hover over all of the crates in the whole warehouse. Yugi looked down at everything in amazement, he'd never imagined that there were so many crates and how lost he would have been trying to get back. He then gazed up the dragon, still fearing it may drop him. When it didn't he was surprised again, instead it flew him over all of the crates and to the entrance of the warehouse. Once outside it let him go, somewhat gently then rose up in the sky.
Yugi looked up and watched it, the dragon let off a loud roar before flying off with incredible speed over the ocean, even though it was higher up he felt a light breeze from its powerful wings. Even the ocean got a taste of the wind because small new waves were created as it flew over the water. Once it was out of sight Yugi sighed, not sure if what he had done was the right thing or not. Should he had killed it? Kaiba didn't say he had to kill all of them, he said that he had to encounter them.
Even if he had to Yugi couldn't do it, there was something about that dragon, something inside it that gave him the memory of his baby. He didn't want to lose that memory, that had to be why he couldn't kill it. In return Yugi was spared from the dragon, it even got him out of the warehouse that he surely would have been stuck in. Then why had it turned blue? What exactly did that mean? Did it mean it was no longer hostile to him? Did it mean he possibly had more control over it? Did he now have some kind of alliance with the beast?
Again he wasn't sure, but what he did know was that there were two more beasts left for him to discover and either kill or have what happened to the dragon reoccur. He didn't know if he should actually search for the monsters or happen upon them. Each monster held a different memory for him, so he had to prepare for anything. He hoped that he would be able to handle it, some memories and fears were too much for him to deal with. That was why he kept them so locked away inside his mind.
Yugi didn't know how these monsters were created from his memory but he couldn't avoid them. He wanted things to be the way they were again, he wanted the real Kaiba back and he wanted him to come home to see Mokuba. He felt bad that he had just left him but he knew what he was trying to do, and it was only two more monsters away.
He had a feeling that they weren't going to be any easier than the others, but that didn't mean he was about to give up.
