Disclaimer: I do not own Yugi, Yami, and the other characters of YGO. This awesome music, Never gone, from the Backstreet Boys - BBoys... (Or is it BMen?) I don't own either.
P.S. This is a one shot
"Yugi thank you for everything. I finally know my name. I can rest in peace now that Necrofere is destroyed," Said a tall egyptian man as he handed a boy about his height a karoseen lamp.
The things we've did The things we've said
"Atem please stay we me," pleaded a trihaired boy. Tears were gushing out stinging his cheeks due to the cool egyptian breeze. Yugi grabbed on Atem's hand, "we've been through so much together I can't live without you."
Keep comming back to me and make me smile again
"Nonscence Yugi..." He wiped away the boys tears, "You have friends. Friends that will stick by your side till the very end."
You showed me how to face the truth Evwrything thats good in me I owe to you
Atem looked back at the portal then back at Yugi, "I must go now Yugi." He released Yugi's grip went behind the young lad and unchained the golden artifact hanging around the young boys neck. As he removed the chains off he he kissed Yugi in the forehead, then walked towards the light. But before Atem entered he turned, smiled, and gave a thumbs up.
Though the distance now between us now may seem to be too far It will never separate us deep inside I know you are
"I'll never forget you, my Aiabou," and Atem was gone the portal to the spirit world disappeared leaving only a small stone tablet behind.
Never gone Never far In my heart is where you are
Tears were gushing out of Yugi's eyes as he rushed toward the stone tablet feeling if by chance he could feel Atem's presence, but all he could feel was the hard coldness of the tablet. Yugi knelt down kissed and held the tablet next to his brest and cried remembering all the things he and his Yami did together... In Duelist Kingdom and Battle City,and Atem's memory world; remembering their happy, sad, and painful moments.
Always close Every day Every step along the way
"I'll Never forget you Yami... my Yami."
Even though for now I've got to say goodbye I know you will be forever in my life Never gone
Yugi cried until he could no longer shed any tears. He got up wearily, he was still holding on to the tablet, and wlowly sulked out the cave. As he walked out there was a puddle next to him, close to the exit.
I walk alone these empty streets There is not a second you're not here with me
Yugi knealt down and splashed the cool water on his face. He did not want the guys to see him in this state. As he wiped himself from the back of his hand he saw a reflection of himself... no Yami!
Yugi leaned foward and the same as the reflection. Then he reaced his hands up to his face. The reflection mirrored the same.
The love you gave, the grace you show Will always give me strength and be my corner stone
'I'm Yami... but how?' thought Yugi as he saw the visage of serious cold, but a little puffy, eyes, a hardened expression, taned skin. "How?"
Somehow you found a way to see the best I have been near As long as time goes on I swear to you that you will be
Yugi gasped he also sounded like Yami. Or was his eyes and ears decieving him? Yugi looked down to see the millenium puzzle still wrapped around his neck. 'Could it be?' he thought as he was reaching for the golden artifact. But as he reached the puzzle faded away. Yugis eyes went wide as he felt his chest.
Never gone Never far In my heart is where you are
Yugi looked at the reflection of the water a bit longer cloed his eyes and prayed, "Thank you Atem", before he got up and exited slowly out of the cold darkcave.
Always close Every day Every step along the way
As he took his last painful step out of the cave he immediately shielded his eyes and looked down from the bright Egyptian sun. As he did his friends along with Kiaba, Mokuba, Marick, Ishizu, and Yugi's grandfather came up to him.
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye I know you will be forever in my life
"So the Pharoah has returned to the spirit world?" asked Marick sadly.
"Yes, brother, that means that our duty as the tomb keepers are over," replied Ishizu twisting her black hair with her right hand.
"We better get going Yugi," said a man with sandy blone hair as he placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder.
Yugi did not move. "Aww Yugi... It's ok pal. Remeber what we'd promise to him?"
Never gone from me if there's one thing I beleive I will see you somewhere down that road again
Yugi noded weakly. "We promise that we'd continue and look foward, "continued the man, "to the future and always keep da memory of Atemu in our hearts"
"You're right Joey," replied Yugi as he looked up.
Never gone Never far In my heart is where you are
The gang gasped wide eyed as they tensed up.
"Yugi?" questioned a girl with short brown hair.
"It's ok guys it's me Yugi. When Atemu left... I guess he wanted me to be in his form... so we can always remember him," Yugi smiled and the gang relaxed.
Always close Every day Every step along the way
"Well then we'd better get going now," retorted a tall man holding on to a metal suit case. The gang noded and follwed the tall man to the air craft that was a few feet away.
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye I know you will be forever in my life Never gone
When they got on the aircraft the tall man sat next to Yugi and looked at him with his cold blue eyes he hust couldn't beleive that the small weakling he knew back then had grown and transformed before his eyes so rapidly. He stared at him for awhile then snickered, "You know Yugi... When we get back to Domino you still owe me a rematch"
Yugi looked at The man his dark eyes lit up as his viasge changed into a grin that spoke a thousand words, "You're on Kaiba!"
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye I know you will be forever in my life Never gone
