Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ The Astral Twins ❯ Chapter 8: The Astral Crystal completed ( Chapter 8 )

SailorStar9: Hey, people. This is the 8th chapter of this series. Pretty please read and reveiw, with a cherry on top.

**************************************************************** ******** **************

#### Back at the YGO! Dimension ####

Yuugi was pacing up and down the living, obviously worried about his sister.

"Yuugi, can you please STOP pacing? You're making all of us dizzy." Yami commented.

"I can't, Yami, this is my sister we are talking about. What if the inners killed her? What if she got hurt? What if . . ."

"She got the Silver Crystal back in 1 piece, along with the Martian star seed?" Sailor Astral completed. "Thanks for being so worried, bro." she teased.

"Sis! I got so worried for you." Yuugi exclaimed, hugging his sister.

"Yah, yah. I know, I know." Sailor Astral comforted her worried-stricken brother.

"Onii-chan, can we complete the Astral Crystal now?" Sailor Astral asked.

"Oh, sure." Yuugi replied.

Sailor Astral detransformed, before pulling her broach out. The star gem sparked in her hand.

Turning to Kaiba, Ami asked, "Seto, can we use your balcony? We need to complete the Astral Crystal by tonight. I have no idea when Dread will attack again."

Kaiba nodded, giving his silent consent.

Yuugi and Ami nodded at each other, before walking to the balcony.

Transforming back to their royal forms, Ami and Yuugi concentrated on the 3 pieces of the scattered Crystal, trying to fuse them together.

A bright flash of light surrounded the 2 twins, lifting them up in the air. Drawing their strength from the stars, the 2 of them concentrated, pulling the Crystal together. Sweat dropped from their foreheads as they forged the Crystal together.

Yami and Ryou gasped at the pain and agony they felt from their soulmates through their mind links.

Rushing to the balcony, the 2 found the twins suspended in mid-air, pain written all over their face. Both knew they could not interfere, so they did all they could do: they supported them mentally.

#### Half an hour later ####

The 2 twins collapsed, exhausted, in the arms of their loves, the Crystal floated in the air, finally completed, before disappearing into Ami's broach.

Yami and Ryou nodded at each other, before carrying their kois back into their rooms.

%%%% With Yuugi and Yami %%%%

Yami laid the shorter light on his bed. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Yami gently dapped a wet cloth in a tub of cold water, before placing it on Yuugi forehead.

Sighing softly at his exhausted hikari, Yami stood guard by his bedside the whole evening, dozing off only at the strike of midnight.

%%%% With Ami and Ryou %%%%

Laying his tri-colored-haired love on her side of the bed, Ryou soaked a cloth in a tub of cool water and placed it on Ami's burning forehead.

"Baka." he mentally scolded the girl on the bed.

"Why did you have to fuse the crystal now?" he questioned mentally.

// Because we have no idea when Dread will decide to attack again. That battle with Zoicite only enabled Dread to have more knowledge of my increased powers.// Ami replied weakly through their mind-link, obviously pretty drained.

"Hush, love, you need your rest." Ryou soothed his fiancée who was awake.

Raising a tired eyebrow at her fiancé, Ami questioned, "Shouldn't you be in bed? It's like what, 11 at night?"

"Couldn't sleep with you so drained like that." Ryou gently explained.

"You need your sleep, dear, as much as I do." Ami gently chided the hikari half of the Jupiterian princes.

Caressing her cheek softly, Ryou smiled, "All right, I will get to bed."

Then, he slid in to his side of the queen-sized bed. Pulling his exhausted love beside him, Ryou slept peacefully, glad that she was safe and well.

#### The next day ####

Ami woke up only to find Ryou had gotten out of bed earlier than she did. Stretching a bit, she got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Returning to the bedroom, Ami softly chucked when she saw that Ryou was searching frantically for her.

Turning his head at the sound of the gentle laughter, Ryou smirked when he saw Ami leaning against the door. Stepping up to her, he wrapped his arms around his still drained fiancée and whispered in her ear, "Breakfast in bed?"

Ami frowned, "I would have gladly agreed to that suggestion when we are married. And since we aren't, it is better that I have breakfast in the dining room. Besides, I don't think Seto would want food crumbs on his bed."

Ryou chucked gently, "Point taken, love."

Taking his hand, Ami allowed Ryou to lead her to the dining room, where the rest of the gang was.

#### In the dining room ####

Seto raised a surprised eyebrow at his charge.

"Are you sure you are alright, princess?" he asked.

Ami nodded, before replying, "Yeah, I'm alright, just a little sore, though."

Looking around, Ami asked, "Where's Yuugi?"

"The young prince is still asleep. Yami won't let the little prince out of his sight." Kaiba replied.

Ami smiled warily, "Guess, he isn't used to the energy drain."

"Yeah." the other 2 who are in the dining room nodded.

"So, where are the others?" Ami asked, sitting down with a plate of toast in front of her.

"Hmm, let's see. Malik had dragged Marik to the library, Jonouchi is still sleeping and Hotaru and Bakura are off somewhere." Kaiba counted off his fingers about the rest of the team.

Ami nodded, before starting to munch on her breakfast.

A few minutes later, she stood up, announced that she was done and went upstairs.

Quirking a brow at each other, Ryou got up as well to follow his fiancée to make sure she was not doing anything stupid.

Ami stopped at Yuugi's bedroom door. Hesitating a little, she knocked. Yami opened the door, surprised to find his love's sister at the doorstep.

"How's he?" Ami asked.

"Asleep, but fine." Yami replied.

Ami sighed in relief. "Yami," she begun, "Could you go out for a while? I want to try something."

Yami nodded, completely trusting his charge with her brother.

Ami smiled gratefully at her brother's koi, before stepping in.

Turning to her brother, Ami willed the completed Astral Crystal into her hands. Transforming into her princess form once again, Ami activated the crystal's superior healing powers.

A gentle white glow emitted from the crystal, engulfing the room in its glow.

A few moments later, the glow faded, leaving a quite exhausted Ami and a healed Yuugi at its wake.

Noting that the glow was gone, Ryou stepped into the room, just in time to catch his fiancée.

Raising a tired eyebrow at her fiancé, Ami asked, "How long have you been standing outside?"

Ryou smiled before answering, "Long enough to know what you were deciding to do. It is pretty reckless, especially for someone in your condition."

"Ryou, just shut up and get me back to bed already." Ami protested weakly.

Chuckling, Ryou nodded and carried Ami back to her bed, princess-style.
