Guardian's Love

Heaven and Hell's Best

A/N: Thank you all for reading! Here is the much awaited fight scene with the ancient god! I hope you enjoy it.

"Ryou and Yugi were leading him away from Domino into the woods," Malik explained flying as fast as he could towards the large clearing in the middle of the woods; the three demons following closely behind him.

The roars and inhuman growls growing increasingly louder with each passing second. Malik gasped as they approached the ancient beast. The creature had both Ryou and Yugi enclosed within its tight grip. The angels struggling to free themselves; the feathers of their wings sticking out at odd angels in between the beast's fingers.

Dark chocolate and crimson darkened in anger. The Prince of Darkness felt his rage boiling up within him; threatening to overcome him and plunge him over the cliff of self-control.

"Put them down!" Yami's deep baritone voice commanded; his crimson eyes narrowed angrily at the beast.

The beast glanced at the newcomers, an evil grin crossing his face, "How delightful," the beast practically purred, "Dinner has arrived. And you, little princy, you will be my dessert."

"Not likely," Yami growled as fire radiated from his body. Bold and brilliant red flames flickering off of his wings, his arms and his legs. A string of flames darted from the crimson eyed demon's palm towards the ancient beast. Dark midnight purple smoke snaked its way from Yami's other palm towards the creature. The smoke wrapped itself around his wrist while the fire licked at the ancient god's fingers prying the digits open to release Yugi.

The petite angel groaned as the hold on his petite body loosened. Yugi's white and silver feathered wings flapped trying to pull him away from the beast. He cried out as waves of pain crashed over him. His wings seizing up after the smothering hold the creature previously had on him. The violet eyed guardian gasped as he watched the hard earth rush up to meet him; powerless to prevent his fall. His large violet eyes squeezed shut awaiting the impact that never came. Strong arms wrapped around his torso and pulled him upwards.

"I have you, Yugi," the voice entered his ear canal and managed to make each muscle in his body tense at first before relaxing fully into the firm body wrapped around him.

"Yami, you're here," the petite guardian whispered happily.

The ancient beast roared in protest; his other fist tightening even more around Ryou. The silver haired angel screamed; tears streaming down his pale cheeks.

"You bastard! Let him go!" Bakura growled dark grey smoke pouring from his palms towards the creature's face. The dark grey smoke wrapped around the creature's head temporarily blinding and suffocating the beast. The ancient god released his grip on Ryou. Without missing a beat, Marik swooped down to catch Ryou before the battered angel could reach the ground. The beast swiped his arms wildly about in an attempt to locate Bakura. The silver haired demon jolted upward avoiding the beast's strong swipes.

"Keep him busy, Bakura! We have to get Ryou and Yugi healed," Marik hollered to the silver haired demon.

"Sure," Bakura grunted dodging another swing, "piece of cake."

Malik landed next to were Yami held Yugi and Marik held Ryou making quick work with his healing abilities. Warm golden light bathed Yugi and Ryou in a warm and healing embrace. Their bones mending back together; their cuts, gashes, and scrapes all healing.

Marik bounced in his spot anxiously, "Malik hurry up, Bakura is facing him alone!"

"I'm going as fast as I can," the blonde angel blinked his lilac orbs rapidly. His hands shook the longer it took to heal his guardian comrades. He glanced up towards the skies where a silver and black blur was buzzing around the ancient god's head maintaining his control over the beast's attention.
