Before you all begin to read this chapter. Sentences with italic means that it is a flashback or the past ^_^

Yuugi frowned as he remembers what Bakura had told him, "I saw your parents at the beach just now." He kept running towards the beach wondering why his parents were here without him. He was surprised that his parents were actually on a vacation together. Now that he thinks about it, they've already been divorced.

"Hey! Asami, you should come and join me for a swim!" Yuugi's eyes widen at his father's voice.

"…I don't want to."

"Why? Come please."

"No means no!" Asami said in frustration and Yuugi finally found his parents. He hid behind a rock and notice his mother had a hoodie on while holding an umbrella. His father was only wearing a khaki shorts with his upper half of his body topless. "My skin will turn black." Asami said with a sigh.

Hiro's baby face looked confuse, "Eh? It's summer now…it shouldn't matter, right?"

"That's not good! I'll get blackheads!"' She exclaimed. Yuugi watched as his parents talk between each other.

"Don't worry, I don't mind."

"BUT I DO!" Asami shouted and Hiro's eyes widen at her tone, "Because I'm not like you monsters….." Hiro stared at his ex-wife, "I'm a human…I'll grow old and I'll grow pimples…" She avoided Hiro's eyes, "I can't be like you monsters who are always so perfect." Yuugi felt so bad that he didn't knew his mother had always felt that way. "It's all Fumiko's fault!" She cried out.

"Eh?" Hiro blinked his eyes.

"The one who said that was Fumiko, right?" Asami asked remembering her wedding day after she and Hiro exchanged vows.

Asami noticed a pretty girl with curly blond hair and deep red crimson eyes was wearing a cute red dress with white stocking walked up to her, "Hmph…so you are Hiro's bride?" The girl frowned deeply studying Asami up and down, "Even if you are pretty now, in ten years you'll turn into an old hag." Asami's eyes widen as the girl smiled, walking away, "To love us sacred creatures, you will regret it."

Hiro burst into laughter, "Fumiko would say that?" He laughed making Asami glared at him.

"What's so funny about it?" She demanded and sighed, "You don't understand women." She was shocked when Hiro suddenly sat beside her.

"Hey, do you still remember how we met?" He smiled at her.

Asami looked embarrass, "Wh..wha…why are you asking me this?" She asked nervously.

Hiro chuckled and closed his eyes feeling the gently breeze from the wind. "Hey, Asami." He called out to her with one of his eyes opened, looking at her, "That time, I…."

"Fumiko, likes strong people." Fumiko announced breaking Kenji's heart, "Compare to you, that kid is stronger." She smiled and pointed at the shock Hiro. Kenji stared at Hiro with disbelief.

"Hiro, let's have a showdown!" Kenji declared with his wings out. He needed to prove to the girl he loved that he was stronger than his brother.

Hiro shook his head, "No, I don't want to fight with you…!"

Kenji's face hardens, "If you lose to me on purpose, I'll never forgive you."

"No!" Hiro cried out, squatting down and covering his ears. He didn't want to face his brother, his best friend. Why did they have to fight?

"You must think that I'm too weak and stupid to face me." Kenji walked off in anger.

"Wait, Kenji! You misunderstood me!" Hiro yelled but his brother didn't turn around to face him.

A few days later, Hiro overheard Kenji and his father, Solomon talking outside the courtyard. He peeked through the small crack from the door. "The main school? You don't want to be with Hiro anymore…?" Solomon questioned his son.

Kenji gave a small smile, "That guy….he'll be fine without me." And he left after that.

At night, little Hiro huddled in a corner and cried. It was his fault that he made Kenji leave. Solomon who had heard the crying boy, walked into the room. "Don't take it to heart." Solomon said patting the boy on the head, "He'll calm down after a while." Hiro wiped his eyes, "That loneliness is the destiny of the strong. To surpass others is the real champion."

"That time…I…" Hiro stared at the beautiful big deep blue ocean. He remembered he hatred for the world. "That time, I really…really wanted to destroy this kind of world." Both Yuugi and his mother's eyes widen at his statement. Hiro laughed, "It was during that time…when I met you Asami."

Little Hiro was hiding in a park of the human world as he was concentrating on the small sphere of energy is his hand. He had finally mastered his power but was shock when he caught by a little girl around his age or maybe a little younger with two cute pony tails had come out from a bush.

She poked her chin in amazement, "A light brighter than dawn…what's that?" She asked.

Hiro's jaw dropped, "Eh…this? This is….? Magic…This is magic…." He quickly explained and made his sphere of energy disappeared.

"Waa! Asami loves magic the most!" She cried out with excitement and ran towards the boy. Hiro sighed, he couldn't really couldn't handle the girl now. Maybe he shall practice his power later after the girl leaves. The two played for an hour after Asami had to leave, "Bye! Onii-chan, I'll see you tomorrow!" She waved happily.

Hiro was stunned, "Ah? Tomorrow too…?" He mumbled.

"Yup!" Asami smiled at him, "Onii-chan, what's your name?"

"Hiro…"

"Then what is your last name?"

"….I don't have one"

Asami frowned cutely, "Liar! The kids in kindergarten all have one!"

Hiro tried to smile, "It's true. Because I don't have a kin, no one tells me what my last name is." He replied back sadly.

"Is it?" Asami blinked her eyes, thinking. She suddenly clicked her fingers, "Ah! I got it…! Asami has a good idea!" She announced with her eyes gleaming, "When we grow up, onii-chan and Asami can get married. Then you'll have a family and onii-chan can follow my last name, Motou." She grinned at her bright idea.

Hiro's face turned red, "Eh?" He exclaimed.

"After we marry, we can have the same last name. Daddy and mummy are like that too!" Asami explained and ran off with the smile still on her face, "Bye onii-chan! From now on you'll be called…Hiro Motou." She yelled at the dumbstruck boy.

Hiro slid closer to his wife who was blushing slightly, "Just like that, I became Hiro Motou." He said.

Asami looked away, "Yeah, it was the name I gave you." She smiled.

Yuugi's jaw dropped, "It was mommy?" He thought with disbelief, "Mom was the one who proposed?" Yuugi suddenly remembering how he also proposed to Yami when they were a kids.

"Although I really liked my new name…I still wanted to destroy the world." Hiro spoke up, "But, I….."

"Bye, I'll see you tomorrow!" Little Asami smiled, running off leaving a shock Hiro. This happened for a while. Every day, Asami would tell Hiro that she would be coming back tomorrow to play with him and he would have no time practicing his power.

A summer had passed…..

"Hey Hiro…." A sad Asami greeted. She was wearing a cute blue kimino and she sat down beside the boy on a bench at the park. "Asami needs to go back home…." She sadly announced.

"Oh…." Hiro answered back. "Today…I'll begin my action tonight. To let everything concerning Kenji and Fumiko disappear…." He thought with cold eyes.

Asami jumped to her feet, "But, I'll come back next year." She grinned at the boy.

"EH?"

"I'll come back to grandma's house to play next year. When that time comes, let's play together again."

Hiro tried to stop her from leaving, to explain that he was busy, "Ah? Wa…wait…."

"It's a promise!" Asami yelled out with smiling eyes before she disappeared.

"Just like that, you forcibly made me compromise." Hiro explained and Yuugi was listening intensely to his father's story. "Year after year….I always missed the opportunity. In the end I gave up on practicing that light…" He smiled at the image when he met Asami when they both were seventeen. "Because you were completely embedded in my heart."

Yuugi eyes popped wide, "Don't tell me mommy is the savior of the world?" He thought unbelievably.

"You…you always mention the past which embarrasses me…!" Asami cried out.

Hiro beamed, "Let's start our life anew." He suggested with hopefully tone, "Now that Yuugi has grown up, and he knows that I'm a monster."

Asami closed her umbrella not looking convinced, "But…."

"We don't have any reason to separate. How long are you going to talk about blackheads and pimples? Asami is more important than all that, if I didn't have you…." He stops talking as he smiled warmly at the woman he loves. Asami looked concern with what Hiro was going to say next, "I may have turned into the Demon King a long time ago….."

"CAW!" Hiro and Asami blinked at each other.

Yuugi hushed the crow, "It's the most crucial point now…." He said to the fluffy not realizing he had been caught.

"Yuugi….?" Asami was dumbstruck.

"When did you…..?" Hiro was also lost.

Yuugi grinned sheepishly, "Ah, please continue."

"What are you doing here?" His mother asked him and Yuugi tried to run off to give more time for his parents.

"Hey Yuugi!" Yami called out, running to the boy and then noticed that there were also other people here, "Ah! Father-in-law, Mother-in law, long time no see." He bowed politely.

A flicker of surprised flashed through Hiro's eyes, "Ah, it was you who destroyed my barrier…" He looked at Yami with a smile, "When did you…become so strong?"

Yami remain silent and was saved when Yuugi glared at his father, "Barrier? Don't tell me the reason I couldn't walk out of the lodging house was all because of you?" He asked.

"Ah?" Hiro rubbed his head nervously, "N…no, that was…eh? Where's Bakura?"

"He's gone." Yami said.

"WHAT"

"DAD?" Yuugi glared at him more, tapping his feet, waiting for an explanation.

While Hiro explained his situation to Yuugi, Yami stood by himself and stared at his hand which suddenly clenched into a fist.

At night, the group decided to have a BBQ on the beach. Yami had moved off from the others while sat down on sand, starring aimless at the starry night sky. The water from the beach slowly sways back and forth. "You've grown stronger." He remembered both Bakura and Hiro had told him that. He shook his head, "I need to…become stronger…" He whispered with his eyes closed, "To protect him…stronger…"

"Yami! Come and eat this watermelon with me!" Yuugi grinned and handed the boy the other side of the watermelon and sat down beside him. They both ate while looked up at the beautiful sky. "This year's summer is so beautiful." Yuugi said, his eyes twinkled in delight. "I hope every year will be the same." He smiled at Yami.

"…Yeah…" Yami smiled back. "The more you emit a brighter light…the more my hands will be stained in darkness…" He whispered softly.

Yuugi cocked his head slightly to the side, "What did you say Yami?"

"Nothing…." Yami answered and his face was leaning towards Yuugi's. Their lips were going to touch when cold water drenched down into Yami's hair.

"Ah….sorry, sorry!" L apologized with a smirk.

"Do you want to die, idiot?" Yami warned, glaring at him.

"Yami, don't fight!" Yuugi pleaded but the boy was already chasing L halfway across the beach.
