At the Kame Game Shop, in Domino City, Japan. Yugi Muto, a fifteen year old boy was sitting at his desk. He was making plans to travel to Egypt soon and was seeking advice from his dear friend, the Pharaoh. "Helloooo." Yugi waved his hand in front of the Pharaoh's face. The Pharaoh was sitting on Yugi's bed, staring at the floor, lost in his thoughts.

The Pharaoh blinked and shook his head. "I am sorry." He sighed. "I heard every word you said, I just was thinking."

"So do you know when you want to go? Do you want to go like right after or do you want to go later. I just know grandpa wants me back at least two weeks before school starts back up." Yugi looked at the Pharaoh, he was looking at Yugi with sad eyes again. Yugi hated those eyes, he had never seen them before. Until the day he and the Pharaoh were reunited, just three months ago. Yugi's soul was taken by the Orichalcos, while in America, and everyone knew the Pharaoh was heart broken. When it was all over, on their way home to Japan, Yugi went to the Pharaoh's soul room, where he was finally able to talk, to cry, and he begged for forgiveness. Yugi of course never once needed to forgive his other self. "Are you ok?" Yugi asked.

The Pharaoh sighed. "I am fine. I have had something on my mind since you pointed out how close we are to the end of this." He turned away from Yugi's face.

Yugi bowed his head. "Yeah." He sighed. "We don't have much time left together, do we?" He asked.

The Pharaoh motioned for him to sit on the bed and with that Yugi stood from his desk chair and sat down next to him.. "Yugi, for a long time I have known we will be separating. I'm not from here. I am," He paused. "dead."

Yugi swallowed the lump in his throat. He knew that the end was near, but to hear it come from the Pharaoh, just brought a wave of sadness through his body. He could feel tears forming, but fought back against them. "Yeah, I know. I've known since the day we met."

The Pharaoh nodded. "Yugi, I have something I been wanting to ask. But I have been feeling pretty selfish about the idea."

Yugi titled his head. "What is it? You know you can tell me anything." Yugi smiled and placed his hand on the Pharaoh's. Though he was a spirit, Yugi did not go through him. He felt a cold tingle on his hand, and the Pharaoh even felt a tingle.

"I don't know how to put it, honestly."

"Than just say it the way it comes to your head."

"I don't want to find my memories."

Yugi was shocked. He pulled his hand away and looked at the Pharaoh with confusion. "I, I don't understand." Yugi stated, hoping he heard him wrong. Yugi wasn't ready to go through the pain of thinking the Pharaoh once again was going to stay with him. A while back the Pharaoh told Yugi he didn't want to leave, that he didn't want his memories, only, Yugi. But once he found out who he was and met the Ishtars, it changed, and he wanted to know all he could.

"I know, that sounds better in my head." The Pharaoh sighed. "What I am meaning is this." He turned a little to face Yugi better, eye to eye, he looked at Yugi. "Three months ago, I lost you. I did a terrible thing, I have battled my demons and I know that you forgive me. Though a part of me will never forgive myself. I just feel like it's too soon. Too soon for us to separate again." He took a moment to make sure Yugi was listening, once he nodded slightly, he continued. "I was wandering, hoping really. That maybe we could spend the summer together, some holidays even. Your birthday is coming up too! I don't want to rush off to Egypt and leave you so close to your birthday. I want to enjoy my time, no enemies, no monsters, no worries. Just you, me, and our friends." He closed his eyes and smiled. "I want to make memories with you, before I go off and find my past."

Yugi looked at the Pharaoh as he had spoke. He was absorbing every word he heard. It made sense the more he explained it. "You, you want to have fun, right?" Yugi finally found the words in a more simple term.

"Ah, yes. That's exactly it. I want to have fun!" He was glad Yugi understood what he was saying.

"Well than, looks to me I have to call Ishizu tomorrow and let her know. Their Pharaoh is taking a vacation!" Yugi stood up from his bed and said the last part a little too loud.

"You mean it?" The Pharaoh asked with excitement in his voice.

"Yugi I said it was bedtime almost an hour ago!" His mom yelled from down the hall.

Yugi flinched, knowing he was in trouble. "Oops."

The Pharaoh chuckled. "I guess it's time to hit the hay."

"Yeah." Yugi whispered. "And yes I mean it. I would love to have as much time with you as I can. I'll call tomorrow and let them know. That for the next year, you're all mine." Yugi didn't know why he said that last part, but he enjoyed how it sounded and was looking forward to a fun summer with the Pharaoh. He walked to his closet and starting to get undressed. It was second nature to change in front of the Pharaoh. He knew that his privacy was respected, but he didn't care anymore. Maybe at first, but not now. They share a body after all, I mean the Pharaoh obviously knows what Yugi has and doesn't have. So why make a deal out of it.

The Pharaoh just turned his head and waited till Yugi was dressed, he respected Yugi's body, he did not want to make Yugi think that he was looking for any reason. He knew Yugi said it was ok, and yes, he did know exactly what all Yugi had, they do share a body after all. But he hated having Yugi think that he would look at Yugi during his private moments. Bathing, using the restroom, changing. Those were moments Yugi shouldn't share with anyone, at least not at this time in his life. He chuckled, not realizing it was out loud.

"What's so funny?" Yugi asked as he buttoned up his shirt.

"Oh, I was just thinking of you, with someone." The Pharaoh smirked. Which caused Yugi to blush.

"Oh hush you! You are always trying to get me to date, but I have no interest in it." Yugi's only crush died out about a year ago and if anything, he sometimes felt like he had a crush on the Pharaoh, but that's something he kept to himself.

"I know, I know. School comes first and that's a good thing."

"Yugi Muto! BED! NOW!" Yugi's mom called out again.

With that Yugi turned his light off and ran to his bed, covering up, without realizing the Pharaoh still was sitting on the bed. "Brrr, that was," he stopped speaking.

"Cold." The Pharaoh always did that. Finished his sentences. He hated it.

"Yeah." He sighed. "Sorry about that." He pulled the blankets closer, still having that chill on his arms.

"Don't be. Your mom is right, it's time to rest. School is tomorrow and you have three tests to take." The Pharaoh stood up and turned to look at Yugi once more.

"Pharaoh." Yugi spoke.

"Hmm?"

"I have two weeks left of school." Yugi said, his voice getting softer and sleep started to take over. "Think of things you want to do together and with our friends. I will let them know, tomorrow." He smiled, finally closing his eyes. Sleep had won, homework was done, and he had heard news he didn't realize he wanted to hear. He was content.

"Of course, Aibou." The Pharaoh walked over to Yugi's bed and smiled. He brushed the hair out of his eyes and then disappeared into the puzzle, into his soul room. He too laid in his bed, the one Yugi helped him get, and went to sleep. Tomorrow was the start of the year he looked forward to the most.
