Thank you, all of you.

This is set the morning of the last chapter. It starts right after Selene left the apartment building.

You all know the rest.

~*~*~*~Last time~*~*~*~

Yugi was now fighting to stay awake, but right as he was about to pass out he saw the doors slam open and several voices cry out in anger. That was the last thing he knew before the darkness took him.

~*~*~*~On with the story~*~*~*~

Damien woke that morning to a strangely empty bed. When he opened his eyes he was met with the same sight. This completely confused him as Selene always woke him up when she got up. She almost never let him sleep in. He got up and dressed in black jeans and a black sleeve-less t-shirt and tied back his ebon hair before heading out to the kitchen. Though not without checking Yugi's room first, only to find both rooms empty.

Starting to worry now he scoured the area for any form of a note from either of the two missing, only to find none. Now he was definitely worried. Even if Selene didn't tell anyone where she went she always left a note so they wouldn't worry. And the last time something like this had happened was the time Selene went to avenge him on those that had made him run away. From what he read about them in the paper the next morning, it had been a very messy house. And not in the normal way.

He ran to the door of Jake, Jason, and Derek's room and banged on the door before opening it.

"Guys, something's wrong." He said, more calmly than he felt. First Yugi and now Selene go missing without any sign as to where they went.

"What?" asked a groggy Derek, as he was the first to wake up enough to be able to form a sentence.

"Selene's gone and there's no note." This simple statement got the attention of all three of the other boys instantly. This was not good.

"There wasn't a note?" Jason asked.

"Right, and Yugi's still gone." Damien said.

Now all three of the other boys were as worried as Damien. Yugi gone and Selene leaving without leaving a note had to mean that she knew where Yugi was. And that she wasn't going to let them know `cause she didn't want them to get hurt. She was like that, Selene was.

"As much as I hate to admit it, we're probably going to need some help on this one." Damien said. He knew who he needed to ask, but that didn't make the task any easier.

"You mean we need to ask Yami." Jason said.

"Yes, we know that Selene is probably where ever Yugi is and hopefully Yami might be able to find Yugi. Despite everything, those two share a bond like no other." Damien said, referring to the link. He just hoped that it would work at this moment as Yugi had told them that it had been severed the night he ran away.

"Well, there's no use putting in off. Just give us a second to put on decent clothes." Jake said. Damien nodded and left the room.

~*~*~

Yami was about to start breakfast that morning when he heard the doorbell ringing. Cursing whoever was at the door he went to answer it.

He opened it only to reveal a few of the people he did not want to see on the doorstep. It was Jake, Jason, Derek, and Damien.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"Much as I hate to say it, we need your help right now." Damien stated simply.

Now this threw Yami for a loop. That was the last thing he'd expected when he'd seen the four teens on the doorstep. "My help?" he asked skeptically.

"Yes, your help. If we could come in for a second we can explain." Derek said.

Yami, somehow knowing that the teens really did need his help, stood back to let them enter the house. They walked into the living room and sat down.

"Okay then, what do you need my help for?" Yami asked, curious as to why they were coming to him of all people for help.

"Well," Jake said, nervously tugging at his dagger earring, "to make a long story short, yesterday Yugi disappeared. It was sometime after he left the game shop. We went looking for him but couldn't find him. Figuring that he'd be home by this morning we decided to wait it out. Only to find that this morning not only was there no Yugi but Selene had disappeared too. Since there was no note that means that she probably found out where Yugi was and left to get him without us. This also meaning that it was dangerous and she didn't want us to get hurt."

Yami sat quietly while they explained the situation. When Jake finished he said, "So how could I help you?"

"We were hoping that you might be able to find him through you all's link. Yes, we know it hasn't worked for two years, but we could always hope." Jason said. It was clear that, despite the situation, he really hated asking for help.

"I doubt it but I could-" but Yami was cut off when he heard a faint voice in the back of his mind that sounded exactly like Yugi. /Help!/ the voice he was now sure was Yugi's said, /Someone help her!/

//Yugi!// Yami called out, but he received no reply. Undaunted he felt for his hikari's presence and was surprised to yet again be able to feel said presence. He quickly traced it to a warehouse not too far from the game shop.

"Yami?" Damien said, wondering why he had cut off his sentence suddenly."

"I heard him. I was able to trace his life force coming from a warehouse not too far from here." Yami said, still shocked.

"Where?" Jake asked urgently. He had to find his friends.

"I'll take you there." Yami said, standing up. The others followed suit and they were soon running down the street. They reached it not five minutes later. Four of them checked their weapons, not bothering to hide the fact, before pushing open the door.

At the sight before them Damien and Jake let loose a yell of anger and, whipping out a weapon each, ran into there, shortly followed by the other three behind them.

TBC…..

AN: So, what do you think? Please review and tell me!

And now you know who the ones who came to the rescue of Selene and Yugi are. Hope you're happy.

Finally, this story will probably only have one or two more chapters coming up. I hate that the story is ending already!
