Chapter 14
Yugi moaned softly, getting some feeling back into his body. He opened his eyes to see the smiling faces of three very familiar people; Temari, Ino, and Amber. Both kunoichis were standing by his bedside, and the look of immense relief was evident in their eyes.
The tri-color haired teenager struggled to get up, getting himself in a sitting position. "What happened? Where am I?" he asked them. Amber said that he was once again in Konoha Hospital, having slept for three days. Yugi looked around the room, and indeed he was back in the building for healing.
"Heh, I’m really a frequent visitor here, aren’t I?" he said with a chuckled. The girls did the same, finding the line a bit humorous. The teen’s violet eyes widen slightly when he remembered on why he was back in the hospital in the first place. "Say, what happened to that Sasuke guy? Is he alright?"
Temari’s eyes went cold, which kinda spooked the youth. ‘Whenever women get that look, someone is either going to get slapped or hit with a heavy object.’ he thought. The woman from the Sand Village explained that Sasuke was still in the hospital, recovering before going to trial for his crimes against the Leaf.
"Yugi-kun, what happened? How were you able to get Sasuke back to normal, removing the Heaven’s Seal?" Ino inquired. To her, it was almost alien to say ‘Sasuke-kun’. Yugi explained to the trio on how he was able to summon the Shadow Realm and also the Millenium Items. Speaking of which, Amber handed back to him the golden puzzle, which was on a nearby table.
"Shortly after getting my puzzle, I was able to summon a duel monster called Big Shield Guardna to defend me against Sasuke’s attacks. It held up good enough, but was overtaken by his attacks. When he tried to impale me with his electrical hand, I tried to hold him back. My hand fell on his neck, and that’s when things started to get weird." Yugi said as he recounted the events.
The kunoichi were listening intently, enraptured by the tale. Ino was there of course, but to her it was something else to hear the story from him. "I think the magic from both the Shadow Realm and my puzzle were able to break the hold the seal, as you call it, had over him. After that, everything blacked out and here I am now." he finished. The girls were very impressed. Orochimaru’s custom seal was supposed to be ‘irremovable’, yet Yugi managed to do so completely.
Ino remembered something from the fight. "But Yugi-kun, what about the rod that appeared out of your chest? It came out for a moment, then went back in." she told him. Yugi’s eyes widened considerably now. "Wait, you said that the Millenium Rod appeared out of my chest? Then went back in?" he asked.
Ino nodded and Yugi was rather surprised at the moment. ‘I actually brought out the Millenium Rod? But how?! What is happening to me?!’ he thought. Suddenly, a wave of power washed over him and it knocked him out cold. The girls were stunned by the move and tried to wake Yugi back up.
~Deep in Yugi’s subconscious~
Yugi was once again inside his own mind. He was surprised since he was wide-awake in the real world with the three kunoichis, and now he was here. "What’s going on? What’s happening to me?" he asked no one in particular.
"For that answer, young Master, you should come with us." a familiar voice called out. Yugi turned around to be facing with Dark Magician, and beside him was his apprentice Dark Magician Girl.
"Mana! Mahado!" Yugi exclaimed, using their names from the past. Mana giggled and leapt at the young man playfully, while Mahado looked on in amusement. The two friends laughed at the little reunion together, until it was the older magician’s cough that stopped their horsing around.
"We have to bring you to the gods. They will explain everything to you. Come." Mahado stated before turning around and going through a door. Yugi and Mana followed, both knowing that something big was going down. It took a few moments, however, to let what Mahado said to him catch up. "The gods?!" he exclaimed.
Mahado was now leading Yugi, with Mana by his side, through a huge temple that consisted of monster stone tablets. As they walked past them, each stone tablet glowed blue and the astral projections of the monsters came forth. The holder of the Millenium Puzzle was amazed to see the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons appearing before him in all of their glory.
"Mahado, I’m confused about a lot of things. Please, tell me what is going on." Yugi asked as they continued onward. The trio was coming to an extremely large door, one that had the etchings of the Egyptian God monsters.
"I’m afraid that only the gods will tell you everything, young Master. But you will understand in time the task that is set before you." the powerful sorcerer answered before tapping the door three times with his staff. The door slowly, ominously opened up. The inside was pitch black, so dark that nothing could be seen inside.
"ONLY THE CHOSEN ONE MAY ENTER." a loud male voice called out. Mahado bowed and stood still, motioning with his head for Yugi to enter. Mana gave him a good luck hug before backing away slightly. Gathering his courage, Yugi stepped into the room. As he walked in, the door closed and the young man was soon swallowed in complete darkness.
"YOU HAVE COME, CHOSEN ONE. NOW WE WILL ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE BRIMMING IN YOUR MIND." a female voice called out. Yugi looked all around him, but darkness was all that he saw. A flash of light was all he saw, and he found himself standing in front of a large Egyptian temple. Turning around, he saw the ancient city spread before him on a starry night.
Descending downwards was the golden Winged Dragon of Ra, looking majestic and powerful as ever. As soon as it landed down, another form flew down from the sky. It was the red, serpentine form of Slifer the Sky Dragon. The Eastern dragon-like creature landed next to its equal, great wings spreading out to nearly eclipse the sky. Erupting from the ground on its right was a mighty blue hand. Coming out from the ground like a behemoth of old was the mighty Obelisk the Tormentor.
The three gods stood in their proud glory, looking down at the small form of Motou Yugi. Slifer, in a female voice stated "WELCOME CHOSEN ONE. IT HAS BEEN AWHILE." Yugi bowed his head, knowing that it was only proper to greet powerful creatures this way.
"Slifer, Obelisk, Ra. What has happened to me? Why was I brought here? Why are the Items inside of me?" he asked them.
Ra spoke out in a regal male voice "FIRST, THE REASON ON WHY YOU ARE HERE IS SIMPLE. FATE AND DESTINY, WORKING TOGETHER IN THIS CASE, KNEW THAT YOUR HELP WAS REQUIRED IN THE WORLD YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN."
Obelisk stepped forward and continued in a strong male voice "THE PHRAOAH’S WORK WAS COMPLETE IN YOUR WORLD, BUT YOURS WAS NOT. IT LAID ELSEWHERE. SO WE TOOK THE LIBERTY OF SENDING YOU HERE, SEALING THE MILLENIUM ITEMS AND THE SHADOW REALM INSIDE OF YOU."
Now that was something that floored Yugi big time. "You mean to tell me that I was sent to this new world on purpose, and that you sealed the items and the Shadow Realm inside my body?!" he exclaimed. This was serious news to him.
Osiris said "IT WAS THE ONLY WAY. YOUR SPIRIT AND WILL WERE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE SHEER MAGNITUDE OF POWER. ALSO IT WAS SO THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP THE WARRIORS HERE TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM A TERRIBLE EVENT."
Ra stated firmly "HUMAN MORTALS, ALTHOUGH EXCEPTIONAL, ARE TRYING TO HARNESS THE POWER OF DEMONS FOR THEIR OWN GAINS. BUT THIS IS FOLLY, FOR NO MATTER HOW REFINED OR STRONG THE MORTAL IS, THEY WILL FALL TO THEIR DEMISE."
Obelisk finished this "THE HERO OF THIS WORLD HAS THE MOST POWERFUL DEMON SEALED WITHIN HIM, BUT HE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH YET TO HARNESS ITS TRUE POWER. AND NEITHER ARE YOU. BUT WITH TIME AND TRAINING, YOU TWO WILL BE ABLE TO STOP THESE FOOLISH MORTALS IN THEIR QUEST FOR POWER AND DESTRUCTION."
Yugi was just amazed on what he was hearing right now. "If we are to stop them, and I have to help out, how can I do this?" he asked.
Slifer said in a patient tone "LIKE WE SAID BEFORE, THE ITEMS AND SHADOW REALM ARE SEALED WITHIN YOUR BODY. HOWEVER, THERE IS A LIMIT NOW ON WHAT YOU CAN SUMMON ON YOUR OWN. WHEN YOU PRACTICE AND TRAIN WITH YOUR ABILITIES, YOU WILL GAIN ACCESS TO THE REMAINING ITEMS."
Obelisk commented "WITH EACH ITEM THAT IS OBTAINED, YOU ARE ABLE TO SUMMON HIGHER-LEVEL MONSTERS AND YOUR SHADOW POWERS INCREASE. YOU WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO PERFORM EACH ACTION THAT THE ITEM YOU POSSESS CAN DO."
Ra finished it up "FOR NOW, YOU HAVE ONLY THE PUZZLE AND ROD. IF YOU EVER NEED THEM, JUST USE YOUR MIND AND WILL TO CALL THEM FORTH. NOW, YOU MUST RETURN BACK TO THE REAL WORLD. WE WILL KEEP IN CONTACT WITH YOU IN YOUR DREAMS."
Yugi saw the world slowly fading away, as were the Egyptian God monsters. "I will do my best, everyone. I will do what I can to help the hero out!" he exclaimed before everything went black for him.
~Back in the real world~
Yugi was shaken awake by one very concerned Sand kunoichi. "T-Temari-chan? Why are you shaking me like this?" he asked. The girl was very glad to see her crush was awake, as was Ino and Amber too. Temari explained that he zoned out for half an hour or so and they have been trying to wake him up.
"What happened Yugi-kun? Why did you zone out like that?" Amber inquired. Yugi clutched his head due to the fact that inside it was pounding like a drum. He answered her "I-I felt like I was in a dream, only it wasn’t. I’ll tell you girls about it later, okay?"
The three were hesitant, but replied that they would wait. "I, on the other hand Yugi, would like to hear about this dream of yours soon." a familiar voice called out from the doorway. Yugi looked up and the three girls looked behind them to be facing Tsunade and Shizune.
"Tsunade-sama, why are you here?" Ino asked. The Fifth Hokage answered that she and her assistant wanted to check-up on Yugi and inform them all of the situation with Sasuke Uchiha. "What about him? When we will he better enough that we go see him, and when he will stand trial?"
Shizune answered that question "Sasuke is being held in a high-security room here. While he is being treated, we will make sure he doesn’t escape this time. ANBU guards are posted at the doorway, and he will not be receiving visitors until two days prior to the trial date." Tsunade didn’t want to take any chances with that boy. The Council might be forgiving and lenient towards the Uchiha, but not her.
Temari asked "What are the charges that the spoiled brat will face?" She really disliked Sasuke, but what he tried to do to Yugi was just unforgivable to her. Shizune told them all that the charges were on treason, attempted murder for Yugi, and Naruto back at the Valley of the End those years ago, and evasion of the law.
"By the way, what…?" Tsunade was saying to Yugi when a loud voiced exploded throughout the hospital. Ino winced at the volume and muttered "There’s only one shinobi I know that could be that loud. Uzumaki Naruto." Indeed, it was the boy when an orange blur passed by the room. It returned and the form of a very angry blonde, loudmouth ninja appeared.
"Oba-chan, where is he?! Where’s Sasuke?!" Naruto exclaimed. He was going to shout again when he saw Yugi in the bed. "Yugi! How are ya?! Are you okay?" Tsunade quieted the blonde down by her usual methods, bopping him on the head hard. Naruto winced from the hit and rubbed his head to soothe the pain, glaring at the busty blonde.
"Naruto-kun, you should know better then to yell in a hospital." Shizune said with a sigh. Naruto shook his head to shake off her question and demanded to know where Sasuke was and what happened. Ino told him that Sasuke almost killed Yugi, along with her and the others.
"Damn that Sasuke! Wait till I get my hands on him!" he muttered until it was Yugi who stopped his rambling. The teenager spoke up "Naruto, please don’t feel bad for Sasuke. He was under an evil influence, but I managed to remove the seal that caused him to go bad."
Now this caught Naruto’s attention good. Shizune said "Sasuke was influenced by the seal’s promise of power, and it was partly Sasuke’s fault for accepting it. So he’s half-innocent, but also half-guilty of his crimes. Now that the seal is gone, he is back to his old form. He’s actually a bit weaker then he used to be before the seal was on him. Relying on Orochimaru too much lowered the glass ceiling for his potential and he started to whittle away."
Naruto was very glad to hear that Sasuke was now free of Orochimaru’s influence and the seal, but rather disappointed that he was now weaker then he was before he left. "He is resting now, but you will be able to talk to him two days prior his trial." Tsunade said firmly.
The blonde shinobi was really glad that his teammate was back, Team 7 was now whole once more! At least, for the moment. He looked at the blonde woman and asked "How is Sakura taking all of this?"
Tsunade answered "My apprentice was very glad to see that Sasuke was now seal-free, but still angry on his actions. All in all, she took it well. While Yugi-san here was sleeping, she gave him a thank you kiss on his cheek." The small smirk on her face grew wider when she saw the groups’ reactions. Temari, Ino, and Amber checked it out and sure enough there was a faded lipstick kiss mark on the teen’s forehead.
"AHHH!! How come he gets all the luck?! He already has three girls after him!" Naruto exclaimed. Insert foot in mouth, and wait for results. It came in the form of three very scary-looking kunoichi’s that decked Naruto so hard he flew from the hospital classic-Jiraiya style.
The blonde landed in the Hyuuga estates backyard, and by lucky coincidence his head fell perfectly in the lap of one Hinata. The boy got a good look at her ample mounds, and quickly developed a nosebleed. Hinata didn’t see it because she had to cover her own bloody nose as well. It was really an awkward situation for both of them.
"N-Naruto-kun! You’re back!!" Hinata exclaimed before hugging the poor boy tight. Naruto felt the soft, warm presence around him and felt two mounds pressed against his chest. Jiraiya’s teachings had an effect on the young man and he was just grinning big time. However, he was not as pervert as the old hermit. He slowly wrapped his arms around the girl, enjoying the contact.
‘She’s so soft and warm, just so comforting.’ he thought. Hinata was thinking along the same lines when she held the young man, only the ‘soft’ part was replaced by ‘hard muscle’. All in all, it was a good reunion of sorts. Naruto had missed Hinata very much, even more so then Sakura. The two slowly broke apart, blushing like mad.
"Naruto-kun, what happened on your trip? What happened to Gaara-sama?" Hinata asked as the duo sat down on the porch steps. The blonde shinobi told her that even though Gaara was without his demon, he was still very strong and had a will of iron. The people still chose him to be the Kazekage, which was indeed an honor. Hinata was glad to see that Gaara was still considered a very strong shinobi to be made a Kage.
"After he took his position again, I leapt right back here quick. Took me a few days, but I made it." Naruto finished his story up. The lavender-haired girl wanted to confess to Naruto right there and then, but she still lacked the courage to do so. Before she could say anything else, someone appeared behind them. They both turned to be facing an adult Hyuuga, who was smirking at the couple. But not in a nasty, superior way. But rather, in a joking manner.
"I see you have found your significant other, Hinata. Its about time too, since you’re always blushing whenever we mention his name." he said teasingly. Hinata was crimson now, and Naruto was looking a bit confused. "Nicholas!! Why did you have to say that?!" she exclaimed while still looking like an overripe strawberry.
The Hyuuga Elder laughed and replied "Just teasing you, Hinata-sama. Well, I best be going. Take care you two." With that, he vanished back into the home of the Main Branch. Naruto asked who it was, and Hinata said that the Hyuuga Elder was named Nicholas. However, since he always seemed to come back upon the brink of defeat in battle, he was given the nickname ‘Phoenix’.
"Naruto-kun, its still lunchtime. Want to go out with me to get something to eat?" Hinata asked. The full impact of the question kicked into her mind, and she suddenly realized that she just asked him out on a date! Of course, Naruto didn’t see it that way and said yes to her offer.
"Come on, let’s go to Ichiraku’s place! Their ramen is the greatest at this time. Come on!" he exclaimed before taking her by the hand and going off to the stand. Hinata’s heart was beating very fast. ‘I’m on a date with Naruto! I’m finally on a real date with Naruto-kun! Yay!’ she cheered in her head.
~Meanwhile~
In a hospital room high above the others, two ANBU guards standing vigilant near the entrance to said room, laid the infamous Uchiha survivor in bed. He was still recovering from the event that happened days ago. He was sitting up now, thinking on how he ended up like this. Yugi really did a number on him, pulling out a power that was immense and knocking him out-cold. Not to mention forcibly de-transforming his Curse Seal: Lvl. 2 form.
‘How did that brat do it? How?! I had him on the ropes, then he started to glow golden and a rod of some kind just appeared out of his chest! What was it?!’ he thought to himself angrily. His body felt so weak, out of wack as one might say. He tried to get out of bed, but his nerves were still in pain and was forced to just sit or lie back.
The handle on the door turned and in came Tsunade. Sasuke looked at the Hokage in anger, but she merely brushed it off. "Uchiha Sasuke, you are being held here to recover. After that, you are going on trial to answer for the crimes committed against the Leaf." she stated firmly. She smirked when she saw the prisoner rubbing his neck. "You can forget about the seal, Sasuke. It’s gone for good. Yugi removed it."
The eyes of the Uchiha widened immensely. "You mean that punk… that weak brat managed to remove the Heaven’s Seal from me permanently?!" he exclaimed hotly. Tsunade merely gave him a small, smug smile and replied yes. She also told him that due to relying on Orochimaru too much, his original body was weaker then before. "I’ll give you this time to think about what you have done, Uchiha." the Godaime stated before leaving.
Sasuke just slumped in his bed, too shocked on what this meant. ‘That means… I’m not strong enough to defeat my brother. I’ve lost my glorious power!’ he said to himself. However, he didn’t feel any burning rage. Instead, it was a sense of emptiness. ‘Was Orochimaru’s promise of power just like this feeling I have, empty?’
Little did he know but outside the room, Sakura was glancing at her crush from atop another roof that was close to the hospital. She had never seen Sasuke look so defeated, but she knew it couldn’t be helped. ‘You got yourself into this mess, you stubborn jerk. If you are let off easy, myself and Naruto will make sure to get you back into shape. Without that damn seal’s help!’ she thought before tears stung her eyes.
Back at the Hokage Tower, Tsunade arrived back in her office to complete more paperwork. Before she could actually get some done, however, her Sennin teammate was waiting for her in there. "Tsunade, we have to talk. It's about Yugi." the Toad Hermit stated seriously.
Tsunade sighed and said "I know, I know. He’s going to tell me what happened after he gets out of the hospital, okay?" Jiraiya shook his head and replied "Its much more serious then that, I’m afraid."
The Toad Hermit and publisher of Icha Icha Paradise explained that Orochimaru probably felt his seal being removed, and will stop at nothing to reclaim Sasuke. And with Sasuke still on a power trip, he would very likely go back to the Snake Sennin with little hesitation. Things were stacking against them again, which caused the Godaime to groan in annoyance.
"Not only that, but my spies inform me that envoys from every Hidden Village in every country is coming here. And not just for the Chuunin Exams either. I’m betting that they are here to claim that tri-color haired brat." he finished saying. Tsunade sighed, wishing that for once she could catch a descent break.
The blonde woman replied "I know its going to tough and rough for us, Jiraiya. But we have to keep calm. Right now, I have a feeling that Yugi being here is more of a good thing then bad. Just like Naruto, he has a destiny that is much different then ours. Until then, we just watch what he does and see what we can do." The Toad Hermit sighed, seeing that his former teammate was as stubborn as ever.
"Okay, okay. I’ll back off for now. But if the situation warrants it, I’ll check this Yugi kid out myself." he said before vanishing in a puff of smoke. As much as he wanted to stay and talk with Tsunade more, he had a book-signing event to get to. His latest novel was coming out, and many fans wanted his autograph for the limited edition ones.
~Outside of Konoha~
Kabuto and his team of Sound-nins were overlooking the wall that protected the village. The team was on edge, and who could blame them? They were going after a person who had the ability to remove their master’s Heaven Seal. Sasuke would be easy to recover, but going after a major power… even Kabuto had his doubts.
"Kabuto-san, we have received word that envoys from all around are coming here soon for the Chuunin Exams. I advise we wait until they come, then we’ll have the perfect opportunity to slip in unnoticed." one of the Sound-nins suggested. Kabuto agreed with him and the nins started to make a small settlement. They would wait until the time was right, then strike. The medic-nin sent one of the Sound shinobi to report to Orochimaru and tell him of the situation.
~Meanwhile inside of Konoha~
Yamanaka Ino was delving into her family’s books, looking for anything that would allow Yugi to help her. From reading her notes when Yugi gave his orientation some time ago, she remembered that the thing coming out of Yugi’s chest was the Millenium Rod. And after reading what it could do, she was sure that Yugi would be able to teach her to gain control of people’s minds more effectively.
Her father Inoichi came upstairs to the Family Archives and was surprised to see his daughter reading. "Ino-chan, what are you doing up here?" he asked her. Ino turned and told her father what had happened, and when she got to the Millenium Rod part that is when he became interested.
"So you see dad, if Yugi can use the Millenium Rod then I bet he would teach us on how to control minds without using hand seals. After what he told us on what they could do, imagine what it would be like if we were to gain that type of knowledge?" she told him. Inoichi was very intrigued indeed. Now he was even more determined to add Yugi into the Yamanaka clan.
The father and daughter started to work out plans for trying to bring both Yugi into the clan, and also with him letting them see his power. Ino was glad about this, because she wanted to get the jump on Temari now. If Yugi was hers, she’d have a good-looking guy and a teacher in an art that would be very useful.
