Yuugi watched as Yami's mother floated down from the tree. Her eight pair of wings was glittery pitch black. Her long black hairs were flowing down across the white dress she was wearing. This was the legendary priestess standing in front of him. "White crow, as long as you disappear, the demon king will naturally disappear too."
"What….what do you mean?" Yuugi asked weakly.
Fumiko closed her eyes and she smiled, "Let me tell you the true story behind the legend."
Yuugi's eyes widen, "The true story behind the legend?"
A long time ago, there was an evil Demon King who set fire to the entire world.
At the moment, when he was going to burn down the last village….when suddenly a white crow flew across the sky.
She defeated the Demon King and saved the world.
Yuugi always thought that was how the story went. Fumiko shook her head and began, "This is the story of the white crow. The true story behind this legend…."
The white crow's feathers can fulfill any wishes….
All the monsters and humans who believed these words captured and hid the white crow so their wishes can be fulfill.
The white crow has a lover, everyone calls him the 'Demon King.' His lover has been snatched away and the Demon King was furious and sad. He searched the depths of the world for the white crow.
But after going through countless blood baths, the Demon King gradually forgot his initial goal and he destroyed everything just for the sake of destruction. If this was to continue then the whole world will disappear.
After seeing her lover become hysterical, the dismayed white crow took her last remaining feather and transformed it into a sword. All the rest of her feathers have already been plucked by her capturers. She stabbed her lover, straight through his heart!
Watching her lover died and disappeared in front of her, her body disappeared too.
"This is the true story behind the legend." Fumiko finished the story, "And now, history is repeating itself, starting with the existence of the lovers, the Demon King and the white crow." Fumiko's harsh gaze fell onto Yuugi, "This means…if the white crow disappears, the demon king will disappear as well." She pointed her finger at the quiet boy, "Only if I destroy you, I can then save the world which is facing its destruction!" She declared.
Yuugi's eyes were covered by his bangs, "The Demon King…who are you suggesting he is….?" Yuugi softly spoke up. His heart was racing, he didn't want to believe this. The Demon King couldn't be…..?
Fumiko stared at the boy, "The answer is obvious, right?"
Yuugi bit his lip and a big breeze blew past him with a familiar crow landed beside him, "Don't you dare touch Yuugi!" Yami glared at his mother, standing in front of Yuugi with his arms out.
Fumiko sighed, "You're here Yami." A bright white light formed in the palm of her hand. Yami stiffened and hid Yuugi behind him, "You have to go….DEMON KING!" Fumiko cried out, aiming a powerful blast towards Yami whose eyes widen.
Bloods spluttered and black feather scattered across the field. Yuugi gasped, Yami's face turned white and Fumiko staggered backward slightly, her face was shocked to see Kenji who had blocked the attack.
Kenji coughed out blood, "….Stop Fumiko!" Kenji said, his breathing was getting heavy and blood was spilling from his wounds, "Yami is our son." He suddenly collapsed on his knees in pain.
"My love!" Fumiko yelled out running to him. She held his shoulder, "Why are you here?" She demanded, "Where's Sugoroku?"
"My father has disappeared too." Kenji answered, his eyes were on the ground, "It looks like there's only the white crow in Yami's eyes."
Fumiko's eyes harden, "Looks like I have to handle this on my own…."
Kenji grabbed a hold of her arm, "Wait, Fumiko…."
"Let go of me!"
Kenji held on firmly, "You're Yami's mother. Even if you're the 'goddess' who created this world, you can't change this fact."
Fumiko was shocked, "…you knew about this?"
Kenji chuckled lightly, holding in his pain, "Come on…I'm your husband."
"Yes…" Fumiko's eyes turned grey, "I'm the monster who is known as the 'goddess'. I can create as many lives as I want. That's why I don't know how to love a man, and I also don't know how to love my own child." She spoke up and Yuugi was stunned to learn about this.
Kenji smiled as his body was slowly disappearing, "That's not true." He answered.
"No?" Fumiko's eyes grew cold and distant, "I don't have the slightest sadness, even knowing that you're going to disappear soon."
"Then why did you confront the white crow, instead of trying to defeat Yami? Didn't you chase me away so that I could seek solace at my father's place?" Fumiko did not answer as she watched her husband body fading, "This shows that…..you do have feelings Fumiko."
Yuugi suddenly grabbed onto Yami's arms whose eyes went blank, "No…don't Yami! Don't kill him! He's your father!" He yelled out stopping Yami from lashing out.
"….They….." Yami's hand was shaking and black markings were appearing all over his body and face. "They want to separate us…." He hissed and his fist was clenched tightly. "They are our enemies!"
"YAMI!" Yuugi shouted out desperately trying to snap Yami out of it.
Kenji released a cough, his voice was slowly fading, "Promise me….don't kill Yami….else your loneliness is going to haunt you for eternity…"
Fumiko placed a hand over her heart, "My…loneliness?"
"Why don't you have some faith in our son….?" Kenji whispered softly. Yami's' body was shaking furiously and black aura was surrounding him "No matter what…..becomes of him…." Fumiko fell to her knees and Yuugi gasped when Kenji was gone.
"….You're such an idiot…." Fumiko mumbled trying to keep her tears in, "I knew this would happen. From the very first time I met you. I knew I was going to kill you one day. Therefore I tried my best to stay away from you….however….." Tears fell down from her eyes, "You were the first person who wasn't afraid of me, and was willing to stay close to me…."
Yuugi's eyes widen when he noticed that Yami's mother was starting to disappear too. Yami's black aura grew bigger. An eerie laughter was heard from a top of a tree, "Thank-you for letting me witness such a boring dramatic scene." Mei covered her mouth giggling with her legs were swinging side to side. Yuugi was wondering where he had seen her before, "What's wrong? How does it feel to be killed by your own son?" Mei smirked down at the goddess.
"Mei…." Fumiko spat the name out in disgust.
Mei laughed down at her, "I'm the one who turned your son into the Demon King!" She announced, "I want to destroy the word that you created. I'm going to create a brand new Demon King and a brand new world!"
Fumiko grinned, "That's a good idea….but you better take a look at your own legs first." She winked and Mei looked stun at her disappearing legs.
"No way…what's going on?" She cried out in disbelief, "I'm the one who entrusted you with the power!" She yelled at Yami who was glaring at her with his white eyes.
"How could you control the true Demon King once he's awakened?" Fumiko shook her head and scoffed, "You're such an idiot."
Mei held onto the tree as her body was disappearing, "Wait…NOO!" She cried.
Yuugi watched helplessly at the two women who were fading,"….after all….you're my son. Come to think of it, of course you would have such an ability." Fumiko smiled and looked at Yami who was not responding to anyone, "This is the first time I've felt a close connection to my own son. I'm going to grant you the freedom. This world that I have created, you can choose to save it or annihilate it." She closed her eyes, "No matter what you choose, I will not stop you." Yuugi felt his eyes welling up, "White crow…" Fumiko called out and Yuugi stared at her, "Please take care of Yami…." Fumiko giggled and winked at him before she was completely gone.
"Yugi…what just happened?" Yami asked holding his head.
"What do you mean?" Yuugi shouted at him, ignoring the tears dripping down his face "Your father and mother…."
Yami blinked his eyes clueless, "Huh? Who are they…..? I have parents…?"
"What…?" Yuugi stared at the boy unbelievably, "Yami….have you forgotten about them?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about Yuugi." Yami replied back, scratching his head like he was forgetting something.
Then it hit Yuugi. Yami's memories were disappearing day by day and the world was also disappearing bit by bit. This was how the Demon King destroyed the world.
