This is the final chapter for Beautiful Dawn.

Thank you all for the reviews and support of the past months on both Deviant Art and Fanfiction. You constant review, alerts, favorites, and death threats are what kept me going and from leaving this story in the dust, which I almost did before…

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or Washing the World Away (a song by Crossfade) And Goodbye My Lover, some lyrics were used in Yami's note, is owned by James Blunt.

Sorry about the songs, but they remind me so much of this fic.

On with the fic.

Beautiful Dawn

Chapter Seven

I walked out of my office; I needed to bring some files to another room before Yami gets here so I don't forget them later. As I walked out, I passed my secretary, Ms. Kisara Kaiser.

"Oh Mr. Kaiba." She smiled at me, but I only nodded.

I never cared for her, she was a good worker though but she kept looking at me strangely and would make odd comments. She walked up to me and stopped me from continuing my little walk. "Ms. Kaiser, I need to get past you…" I frowned when she got into my personal bubble.

"Mr. Kaiba… I have to ask you something. I've worked with you for sometime now and I've developed certain…"

Don't you dare…

"Feelings for you…" She started playing with my tie and I frowned deeply.

"Ms. Kaiser…" I started.

"How about you and me go out for dinner on Friday?" I blinked, hearing a slight gasping sound but my attention went back to the girl in front of me. "Shall we? I mean, we have known each other for such a long time now."

Sighing, I pushed her back. "Ms. Kaiser, I'm sorry but I'm already have someone."

She looked at me in disbelief. "You're already taken?! But you have never mentioned anyone and I have not seen any women around you since I've been here!"

"Whoever said I was dating a woman?"

"You're gay?!"

I rolled my eyes and walked away from the poor girl. I could have flat out stepped all over her heart, but then Yami would wonder why my secretary was bawling her eyes out over me being gay. Though… that would amuse me, I probably should have done that then.

I chuckled as I walked past Isono who turned to me. "Master Seto, Yami came by, looking for you."

Blinking, I turned and looked at him. "Yami came by?"

"Yes, he said you weren't in your office so he handed me this and left." Isono handed me a small dish with a note on top.

I didn't run into Yami at all while I was at my office or when I left. I nodded and said my thanks to Isono as he I handed the folders to him and told him to file those.

Walking back to my office, I passed Kisara who was crying. Well, that put a smirk on my face, serves her right. Closing my door and walking over to my desk, I opened the dish to find caramel marshmallow squares. So this was the new recipe he told me about, better try one.

Not bad, like the taste but I hate how sticky it is.

My eyes drifted to the note card that came with the small gift. Wonder what it says… I picked it up and looked at it, but I frowned deeply.

Seto, this is just a small gesture of my love for you. Hope you like it, I doubt I'll ever make it again… actually, I doubt I'll make anything else. Don't wait for me at the mansion; I don't think I'm ever coming home.

Seto, there is a song that I want you to know about, it goes like this…

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.

So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.

You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,

My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

…

I love you Seto, and good bye.

What does this mean…? No, no! He can't! He told me he was happy!

Fuck!

I dropped the note and grabbed my jacket and keys. I have to stop him, before it's too late!

How… how could I be so stupid…?

Seto only wanted to be with me just to keep me from being depressed… I guess he was actually straight after all. It's cold, but not cold enough. I wish there was more snow, maybe I could just lie in a snow bank and just freeze to death. That would solve everything, but then people would find me later in the spring.

Shit, how long have I been running? Where am I? Wait, I know this road, I was here before, and this leads to the park. And if I take this street… it might lead me back to where everything should have ended.

The bridge…

This is where I should have died, but Seto stopped me. No, don't think about him, it will only make things worse…

But he doesn't love me, he never has.

There are no cars, it's not the busy time of the day, now is a good time.

I get on the railing and look at the dark waters below. My watery grave awaits. Gods above, why can't I stop crying! Stop it you idiot!

Biting my lip, I take on last look at the city. The sky line looks pretty in the winter sunset, kinda like the fall dawn.

So beautiful…

I keep thinking of this song I hear once. It sounds kinda like me during the second verse…

I find that no one understands me
Feel so alone
Does anyone feel the way I do
(I just wanna take all this love)
This pain could all be over
If I just blinked an eye

I just laugh a bit, wiping a few tears away as I look in front of me, smiling sadly.

"Good bye everyone, it's been great, but I need to stop living. I was suppose to have died months ago, but I didn't. Now, though, I can finish what I start. Seto… I love you…"

I let go of the railing and fell.

The wind, the snow, the cold air… I can feel it all as I fall.

A voice?

I can hear a voice.

Sounds like…

"Yami..!"

"Set-?"

Painful, cold, darkness… can't… focus…

Keep holding on to some star
That stops me from
Washing the world away

I won't let him die! I can't, he means too much to me!

Where is he?! Fuckin' ai! I can't fine that spiky head of his anywhere!

I know he is not at the mansion or at the Game Shop because he would never kill himself there! He probably wouldn't do it where a lot of people could see him or where his body could be easily found…

I stopped at a red light, a thought came to me.

When he tried to kill himself the first time, it was in the early morning at the bridge. He's gonna kill himself at the bridge! The light turned green and I put the car at a higher speed.

That little… shit, why would he even go back to killing himself!? What would cause this sudden change in him!? Isono said that Yami came to visit me and he didn't find me, but

I've been in my office all day… maybe, maybe he saw me and Kisara talking, I thought I heard a gasp.

Oh God, he must have heard her talking to me and thinks that we are…

I speed up and get to bridge.

There he is! I stop the car and jump out. No! He let go!

"Yami!" I run over to the side that he jumped and run down the hill leading to the bank.

"Yami!" I call again, he must have heard me.

"Yami..!"

"Set-?" I see his eyes, dull and lifeless blank pools of crimson, before he hits the water.

He's not rising… he's not rising! I'm going in! Removing my jacket, I jump right into the water.

Shit! This is stupid! It's colder then a well digger's ass and I can't see! Wait, I hit something, feels like a hand. I taste blood in the water.

I pull the hand and bring the rest of the body close and rise to the surface. Looking down, Yami's head is bleeding and his lips are blue, he's not breathing.

He's out cold, but I can feel a small pulse on his neck.

Oh thank God, he's alive!

I get out of the water and wrap my jacket around him; he needs it more then me. I have to get him to the hospital, he needs medical attention!

System…

… System restart… all systems go…

Gods… my head feels like it's full of rocks. Where am I… my eyelids are too heavy to open. I smell something. Smells like medical alcohol.

The afterlife shouldn't smell of something that awful, where am I?

The afterlife shouldn't be like this where I can't see and I hear beeping sounds.

Fuck.

I'm alive and I'm in a hospital…

But how did I end up in the hospital? I thought I jumped from the bridge and everything went black and cold from there.

But I heard Seto's voice, calling to me.

He saved me, but why would he do such a thing? Why would he want to be near someone like me? What is this, this thing in my hand? Wait, I know what this is… this is his hand! Seto's next to me?

Why can't I open my eyes, I so tired… no, I want to be awake; I want to know why he is here!

"Yami…?"

I turn my head, his voice sounds so tired and upset.

"Se… Seto…" My own voice, harsh and dry from lack of water, but I taste the cold liquid as a cup is placed to my lips.

"Yami, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

"Tired… and my head hurts…"

"You hit your head when you hit the water, you're lucky that it just knocked you out rather then giving you a concussion. You were also suffering from a bit of hypothermia from the cold water and from wearing such thin clothing."

"Oh…" I can't kill myself I guess, this sucks.

"You okay?" I felt his squeeze my hand.

"No…"

"Yami, why did you try and kill yourself again?"

Slowly, I opened my heavy eyes to see a blur before they focused of a worried Seto. I frowned deeply and looked away.

"I saw you with someone else, she was talking all lovey-dovey and you weren't doing anything. I thought that you were cheating on me and I just snapped and wanted to die again…"

"She? Oh, that woman you must have saw was my secretary, she was hitting on me and I kept glaring at her, I guess at the angle you must have been at didn't show me. Yami, I don't like women, you know that. You… you mean a lot to me Yami, I was actually scared."

I blinked. "Scared?"

"I jumped in the water, you weren't breathing and your head was bleeding. For a moment I thought you died… I…" He couldn't continue, but I knew what he wanted to say.

Using what little strength I had, I moved up off the bed and just wrapped my arms around him.

"You don't have to say anymore Seto, I know. I'm sorry; I'll never do what I did again because I know that you will keep me from that."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

I smiled and looked over his shoulder, seeing the sun rising through the window. The colors on this foggy winter morning had a poetic air to them.

A beautiful dawn.

END

That is the end of Beautiful Dawn, took a while though because I forgot the original plot.

Notes, the title is from the opening line of James Blunt's song Beautiful Dawn, this story was to capture the mind of an unappreciated hero, and I highly doubt Kaiba would actually say I love you.

Also, I suggest you listen to Goodbye My Lover, it is a very sad song and I felt like the first part fit this story.

Please take note that this story is not over, there is a sequel in the works. At this point, there are two chapters written and it is still centered on Yami and Kaiba. Sadly, it will be a little darker then this story.

The story is called Never Coming Home and here is a sneak preview:

I shake it off, but it still seems to be there. I decided to just sing along with the song.

I think we should finally let this go
We both know it's the end of the road

Just as I finished cooking, I heard the phone ring and I picked it up, the caller id said it was Isono. I turned off my mp3 player and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Umm… Master Yami…"

"Yes Isono?" He sounded upset and worried.

"I think you and Master Mokuba should come to the hospital right now."

"Why?"

"Master Seto… he's been in an accident…"

I felt the whole world crumble underneath me as I heard those words. The lines from the song came to my head; the two lines that made my heart feel heavy as I listened…

One more thing that you should know
I'm not ever coming home

Please stay tune and review. And thank you all for staying this long and for all your reviews. And please review chapter six before this one! *begs that you do to get over fifty reviews*

*bows* Thank you for your time my dear friends and I hope to see you soon again.
