Part 7 (Epilogue) - Fantasy Schism

Exhaustion.

That's what the doctor had analysed the problem as; Yami hadn't been surprised. The doctor left after telling Yami the cure: Vitamin supplements and lots of rest. Yami stared impassively as the doctor left, shut the door behind him and turned round, heading back upstairs to watch over his angel.

In the split of a second, both the Dark Magician and the Celtic Guardian found themselves sprawled out on the floor of their own realm, and as the Dark Magician pulled himself up to his knees slowly, his bright blue eyes fixed upon the group of monsters all standing in front of himself and his friend, the Mystic Elf steeping forward and reaching out a slender hand, aiding him to his feet. "Welcome back," she sung out joyously.

"Thank you," he retorted, tiredly.

The Celtic Guardian groaned as he blinked his amber eyes as he rose to his feet. All the monsters that had been swallowed whole by the darkness were standing there, in perfect health, and the skies were as blue as crystal waters and the sun was shining down mild warmth onto them.

"Everything has returned back to normal, and we owe it all to you two."

"No," the Dark Magician said, "We too owe it, to Yugi."

The mystic Elf tilted her head inquisitively, "Please do tell us what happened,"

The Dark Magician turned and looked at the Celtic Guardian, and both nodded to each other before limping off, towards the nearest rest spot.

All the other monsters watched, and the Celtic Guardian turned round to them, "We'll answer all your questions in 48 hours, but first… sleep…"

And both walked off groggily, leaving the others left confused, but understanding by their ruffled and beaten looks.

* * * * * *

Yugi pulled his small, weakened body up to a sitting position before blinking his big violet eyes at Yami, and giving him a tired smile. Yami smiled back, and sat himself on the bed next to him, running his fingers through his ruffled hair gently. Yugi leant against his Yami and gazed up at him for a few seconds, before speaking out.

"Why… didn't you tell me Yami?" he questioned.

"Tell you… what?" came the confused reply.

"Tell me that I hurt you, Yami."

Yami pulled his fingers out from his angel's soft locks and stared down at him. Yugi continued to stare up at him, his eyes looking upset.

"I… don't understand."

Yugi shook his head and resumed his look.

"Before this all started," he paused and clenched his hands together, " You were feeling lost, Yami, and I ignored it. I was too wrapped up in my own enjoyment to notice that-"

He could feel tears beginning to form in his beautiful eyes, and had to pause. Just as he did, he noticed the expression etched upon Yami's face change.

"…I felt my light slipping away from me, leaving me more in the darkness than ever before…" he mumbled.

Yugi nodded, wiping his eyes upon Yami's sleeve. "I didn't even realise that I had wronged you… my light was dying, and I lost all perspective of what was real and what wasn't… I was slipping, Yami, and still, I didn't notice… I didn't notice until I saw it, saw the pain, in his eyes…"

He clutched to Yami and buried his head into him. Yami raised a hand and began to stroke his back soothingly and he felt the smaller one tremble into him.

"Then it all made sense… he was your anger and frustration all rolled into one, made from the darkest shadows in your soul… he hated me, for abandoning you…when you needed me… for losing my light… and then I realised what I had done…"

Yugi's sentence was cut off as his tears began to stream down his face, and Yami pulled him back gently, placing his hands on his shoulders, and looked into his eyes.

"Shush… it doesn't matter, all that matters is that you're safe now,"

Yugi stared up, blinking back tears. "I'm so sorry Yami… Can you ever forgive me?"

Yami pulled him into a hug, "Only if you can forgive me."

Yugi sniffled as he nodded his head, before Yami pulled away. "We've both learned our lessons, and we possess a deeper understanding of one another," he paused as he gently pushed Yugi back down to the bed and replaced the covers over him, "now you rest."

He glanced at his angel, before turning round and heading out of the doorway.

"Yami…?"

He looked back over his shoulder and smiled, " I know you never meant for it to happen Yugi, and none of it matters now. I have my light back, stronger and shining brighter than ever, and it will never slip away from me again." with that, he turned back round and continued to walk away, and his little angel couldn't help but smile happily, before snuggling into his covers and drifting off to a peaceful slumber.
