Chapter 9: Sometimes Tears Are Enough
“There has to be a way out of this yacht.” Katrina said as she looked at her watch, which read 11:25. “Kaiba, isn’t there anyway to open up the sealed exits?” Yami asked. “The only way for me to shut down the exits system is if I were outside.” Kaiba answered, “So, you mean we’re stuck here. We won’t be able to get out.” Blossom said. Moments later the sealed exits were open. Yami and the others saw Joey, Tristan, Tea, and Mokuba standing on the pier. “We thought you guys could use some help.” Joey told them.
“How were you able to open up the exits?” Katrina asked. Mokuba smiled and answered, “I used my laptop to track down my brother’s and Yugi’s duel disks. Then I entered the codes to open up the exits.” “You guys better get off that yacht quick.” Tea told them. Blossom got off first, and then noticed her sister was running towards the other direction. “Katrina, where are you going? The yacht is about to explode!” Blossom told her sister. “Don’t worry I’ll be back in a second.” Katrina said. Katrina ran to where she found the antidote. (I’m not going to let some poison kill my best friend.) Katrina thought as she picked up the antidote. Then she quickly headed back towards the others.
Kaiba was next to leave the yacht. He was about to leave when he heard, “Seto, you can’t leave me here. I was the one who adopted you and your brother.” Kaiba turned around and stared at his step-father for one final time. “You ruined my life and took everything away from me!” Kaiba told him. He then looked down at Leona, who was barely breathing. He held her tightly in his arms and said, “Why should I spare your life? When you were trying to hurt someone I care about! It’s over Gozaburo. Checkmate, I’ve won.”
With that Kaiba walked off the yacht. Everyone waited patiently for Katrina to return. Tea started to look around and noticed Yami wasn’t with them. (Yugi, where are you?) Tea thought as she looked at the yacht. (C’mon Katrina, you only have a couple seconds left to get off the yacht.) Blossom thought. “Who ever is on that ship better get off soon, they’ve only got ten seconds left.” Joey said. 9….8…..7…..6…..5…..4…..3….2….1…..
In an instant the yacht was caught in a raging inferno. Who ever was left aboard the yacht wouldn’t have made it out alive. Everyone stared at the raging fire as the yacht slowly sank to the bottom of the ocean. Blossom ran to the sinking ship wanting to climb aboard, but Joey stopped her. “What are ya’ crazy? That ship’s gonna sink soon.” Joey told her. “My sister was still on that sinking ship.” Blossom told him as her tears were falling to the ground.
As the smoke slowly cleared everyone saw a glowing light. The dust and smoke cleared away and everyone saw Katrina and Yami. Blossom ran up to her older sister and hugged her. “You’re alive! I can’t believe it!” Blossom cheered happily. “You don’t have to yell in my ear to prove it.” Katrina told her sister. “What were you doing there anyway?” Tristan asked. “I went to get this.” Katrina answered as she showed everyone the antidote. “I couldn’t have gotten out of there without your help. So, thank you Yami.” Katrina told Yami. Yami smiled and nodded at Katrina. Then he told her, “That was a very noble act you did. Risking your life for your friend.” Katrina smiled and they walked towards the others.
Kaiba stared at the sea where his yacht once stood. “Seto, do you think Gozaburo made it out?” Mokuba asked. Kaiba looked at his little brother and answered, “I doubt it. He couldn’t have survived. It’s finally over.” Everyone quickly headed for Leona’s house. It was 11:45 when they got to her house. They explained everything to Leona’s parents. Kaiba gently placed Leona on her bed. Katrina opened the bottle of the antidote and placed the liquid in Leona’s mouth.
“C’mon Leona, I know you’re strong and I know you won’t let some poison stop you from living.” Katrina said to her friend. Suddenly, everyone heard the clock strike midnight. Leona didn’t move or open her eyes. Leona’s mother cried hysterically as Leona’s father tried to comfort her. Soon after everyone else had tears in their eyes as well. Everyone was grief stricken, except for Kaiba.
He kneeled down and took Leona’s hand and held it tightly. He could feel her hands were ice cold. “Leona please wake up. You have to get up. I know you’re not going to leave me like my mother and father did. After I met you, I didn’t feel so alone anymore. Please don’t leave me here all alone.” Kaiba told her. Still Leona didn’t move. Kaiba got up and held Leona in his arms. Then everyone saw something come over Kaiba. Something that had been inside of him his entire life, that he finally let out…tears. That’s right the famous Seto Kaiba that everyone praised and some feared was actually crying. “I’ve held these tears back ever since my parents died. For so long I didn’t understand what it meant for someone to cry. Now I understand what its like to lose someone you truly love.” Kaiba told Leona. His tears gently fell on Leona’s face. Kaiba pulled Leona closer to him and he kissed her gently on the lips.
Kaiba placed Leona back on the bed and wiped his tears. He was about to leave when he heard, “You’re leaving me so soon.” Kaiba turned around and saw Leona smiling at him. “Your ok.” Mokuba said happily. “Of course I am. Thanks you guys for everything.” Leona told them. “Thank Katrina; she’s the one who found the antidote.” Blossom told Leona. Leona was about to thank Katrina when she heard Katrina say, “You don’t have to thank me. We’re friends and we’ll always be there for one another.” Leona smiled and asked, “What happened to Marik and Gozaburo?” “Marik escaped, but Gozaburo is gone for good.” Kaiba answered. “That’s a relief. I hope nothing like this ever happens again.” Leona said.
Meanwhile back at the harbor, Marik arrived, but was unable to locate anyone except for his rare hunters. “They’ve escaped me for now, but soon I will become pharaoh. And I will have Leona as my queen. Not even Kaiba will be able to stop me from talking her away from him. He may have succeeded before. But not this time. Everyone will tremble before as the new ruler of this world!” Marik evilly said.
“There has to be a way out of this yacht.” Katrina said as she looked at her watch, which read 11:25. “Kaiba, isn’t there anyway to open up the sealed exits?” Yami asked. “The only way for me to shut down the exits system is if I were outside.” Kaiba answered, “So, you mean we’re stuck here.
