Yugi held onto the root tightly with both hands. He wasn't going to give up now! His father dangled helplessly with two hands gripped tightly around Yugi's legs.

Yami bit his lip and sat himself down on a rock. Dean and the Officer searched the car.

'Help' it was faint but Yami heard it. Deep within his mind he felt Yugi call out to him.

'Yugi' Yami sprang to his feet and ran over to the edge of the cliff. Sure enough he saw Yugi and Mr. Motou about 5 feet down clinging to the rock.

"Yugi!" Yami's voice choked on his tears.

Yugi looked up.

"Yami!"

"I'll get you hold on."

He could see Yugi slipping.

"Haha what are you going to do now Yugi?" Teased his father.

He started to swing on Yugi's legs.

"I don't care if I die why don't you just let go?"

"Why don't you let go!" Yugi shouted.

"Because I'm holding onto you.

"Let go now!"

"No!"

"If you want to die then let go!"

Yugi's fingers started to lose blood and he found it really hard to hold on. The pain was terrible. But the fear of dieing was greater.

"Don't listen to him Yugi. You can do it!" Yami's concerned voice shouted down.

Dean looked franticly for some rope in Mr. Motou's car while Officer Mc Millan ran down the path back to his car.

"Yugi just let go it's easy!"

One of Yugi's hand dropped and he now held on with one.

"Yami I can't hold on."

"Yes you can Yugi"

Mr. Motou started to swing again and then laugh.

"STOP SWINGING!"

"No I like swinging it's a fun thing to do before you die."

"Stop swinging or I'll shoot you!"

Mr. Motou stopped.

"What you'll shoot me? Haha with what?"

"With this!" Yugi grabbed the gun out of his pocket with his free hand and aimed it at his father.

"Don't be silly Yugi. A seven-year-old doesn't even know how a gun works!"

Yugi pulled back the trigger.

"Wanna see if it's true?"

"Okay then shoot me!"

"Yugi don't listen to him concentrate on holding on."

"Come on Yugi shoot me. And then you can shoot yourself. It's better than falling."

Mr. Motou started swinging again.

"Shoot me! Shoot me!"

The root began to move in the rock and it started to slip.

"Shoot me! Shoot me!

Yugi looked up at Yami. This was his last chance.

"Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me!" BANG!

Mr. Motou let go and fell. He landed on the sharp rocks at the bottom with a crack.

Yugi dropped the gun and grabbed the root with both hands.

"Hold on Yugi!"

The officer ran back breathlessly with the rope.

"H-here. I-it's a-all I f-found."

Dean grabbed the rope and tied it to the stuff he found in Mr. Motou's car.

"That should be long enough."

He passed it to Yami who eagerly took it.

"Yugi I'm passing the rope down. Grab it with both hands okay."

"Yep." Yugi saw the root slip off more but he grabbed the rope just in time.

"Got it!"

Then Yami, Dean and Officer Mc Millan pulled the rope in and hauled Yugi up.

"Well done Yugi." Dean smiled

"You had us worried there for a minute." Said Mc Millan.

Yami didn't say anything he just put his arms around Yugi and gave him a big hug.

They all got into Mr. Motou's car and drove home.

Yugi sat in the back with Yami who was wrapping his hands in bandages. Something caught his eye. Yugi bent down and looked at the shinny object. It was a watch. Yugi smiled when he looked at it.

"Yugi? What's that?"

"It's a watch. It belonged to my mother. It never really worked properly. It stopped working when my dad had it. I don't know why."

"Wow. Well you better hold on to it and maybe we can get it fixed."

Yugi smiled "Yea maybe."

"Yugi?"

"Mm?"

"How would you like to come live with me?"

"Really? I mean you wouldn't mind?"

"I would love you too. Old Casey isn't much company. He just sleeps all day."

Yugi beamed with happiness.

The Officer stopped at Yami's house.

"Yami I think you can go."

"Really?"

"You'll be needed in court next week but apart from that you're free to go."

"I'll call you in the morning Yam, take care. Dean waved as the two went inside to start a new life... together.

The End.
