About a month after, I'll delete the author's note. That way, no one's spending too much time checking everyday if the story's up. Anyway, enjoy the last chapter!

Chapter 20

Possible Escape!

"Well, that went better than expected, didn't it, pharaoh?"

Yami's crimson eyes flashed angrily, but he didn't respond. His hands gripped the bars of his newly-formed cage tightly as he continued to stare at Lucifer.

"And your performance was beautiful, Yami!" Lucifer added, clapping his hands together. "Poor Yugi believes that his most trusted friend, ally, and lover is now on the opposite side. Oh, this is too good to be true!"

"You sick, twisted, son of a-" Yami began, but his insult was cut off as Lucifer turned to him, angrily.

"Shut up, you fool!" he demanded, back-handing Yami across the face. "The only good you are to me is when that small part of me takes control of your mind."

Yami placed a hand on his reddening cheek. Lucifer chuckled and disappeared, reappearing outside of the cage, a smirk on his face as Yami jumped at the bars, trying to get to him.

"He'll be back, Lucifer," the angel vowed.

"You're forgetting one thing, Yami," Lucifer argued, moving closer to the cage. "You're behind bars, stripped of your powers, and your lover believes that you deserted him."

That sentence caused Yami to drop his head.

"The only thing that could possibly help you now, Pharaoh, is if Ra suddenly appeared and set you free, but we both know that won't happen."

It was true, Yami realized. He was doomed to an eternity in hell.

(Somewhere In Hell . . . )

Yoku had to practically jog to keep pace with Yugi. The latter mentioned angel had a determined look on his face as he stomped through Hell, as if Lucifer could hear him.

'I'll never leave here without Yami!' Yugi vowed to himself. 'I don't care if he is infatuated with Lucifer! He's done something to Yami and the only way I can break him free is if I rescue him from this place!'

"Um, Yugi?" Yoku called out from behind him. "Could you please slow down? I know you don't want to stay here any longer than I do, but I'm walking so fast, my wings are tired!"

As soon as those words left his mouth, Yugi's eyes lightened up like a Christmas tree. A familiar gleam could be seen in Yugi's eyes, causing Yoku to swallow hard. Whatever Yugi had in mind, it couldn't be good.

(With Yami . . .)

The cage creaked as it swung slightly on it's hinges from Yami slamming into it. Yami gripped his shoulder from where the impact had injured him as he stared out into the flames licking everywhere. He sighed deeply and sat down, back pressed against the bars. Defeat was clear in his eyes. He never flinched as two guards entered to relieve the other two already on duty. At the sound of a scuffle, however, he was instantly on high alert. The two guards who had just entered were standing above the two previous demons. They lay sprawled on the ground, eyes unseeing as their bodies eventually disappeared in a small puff of smoke. Yami gripped the bars eagerly to see his rescuers. His eyes widened and his heart almost stopped beating as he recognized the two figures.

"Bakura! Ryou!" he shouted, happily.

The tomb robber walked swiftly towards his cage, grabbing the keys on a nearby wall as he passed. Two minutes later, he was unlocking Yami's cage and helping the former pharaoh out of his prison.

"Bakura, th-," Yami began but was cut off as the thief put a hand over his mouth.

"Thank me when we get out of here," he ordered, looking around, cautiously. "All the exits are blocked and we'll need absolute quiet if we expect to get out of here."

Yami nodded in understanding as Bakura removed his hand and motioned for Ryou and Yami to follow him. As they headed away from the prison area, footsteps could be heard walking down the corridor. Frantically, the trio looked for a way out or a place to hide. The walls of the hall were smooth, giving no shadows or crevices to hide in. The footsteps drew closer as they stood their ground, waiting for the inevitable. A voice called out in the darkness as Yami's body finally gave out and blackness surrounded him.

Then, peace. And the distinct feeling that they were safe.

A/N: Well, that's the end of chapter twenty and this story. But don't worry, there's going to be a sequel. Who could the person(s) possibly be? Will Yami be okay? How did Bakura and Ryou enter Hell? And why did Bakura even LET Ryou accompany him? Find out in the sequel An Angel's Heart!
