Hey guys, how's it goin'. I got bored so I wanted to write another story. Well… here it is. Note: It doesn't really go with the Yu-Gi-Oh! Story line and Yugi, Yami, Cleo, and Athena have their own bodies. Just so you know.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Memories of the Sakura Tree

Anzu was sitting down underneath a Sakura Tree with her friend, Yami. He had invited her to go to the park with him because today was her last day in Domino because she was moving to New York with her parents. They have been friends for as long as they both can remember. They were both 12 years-old and they did almost everything together.

"Hey Yami?" Anzu asked as she shifted her position and looked at him.

"Hmm?" Yami said as he opened one of his eyes and peered at her.

"Do you remember when we first met? It was right here in this very spot," Anzu answered.

"Of course I do," Yami said opening both eyes while looking at her. "How can I forget?"

Flashback

A 3 year-old Anzu ran up to the Sakura Tree and rested there. She was hiding from her dad because they were playing Hide and Seek. She tried to find someplace to hide when suddenly, she heard a voice.

"Hi there. What are you doing here?" someone from behind her asked. Anzu peered behind the tree and saw a boy the same age as her.

"Oh, hi there. My name is Anzu Mazaki. My daddy and I are playing Hide and Seek and I was trying to hide from him. What's your name?" Anzu asked.

"My name is Atem Mutou but you can call me Yami. Almost everyone does. I'm hiding from my twin brother, Yugi," he replied.

"You have a twin brother?" Anzu asked while Yami nodded. "He looks almost like me," he added.

"Do you want to be friends?" Anzu asked.

"Yeah. Let's pinkie swear on it." They both put out their pinkies and pinkie swore.

"Oh, and remember when we made the promise to be best friends forever?" Yami asked.

"Uh-huh. It was also underneath this same tree," Anzu said.

"A lot has happened underneath this tree. I remember when Athena and Cleo both said they're first words here."

"And remember when we…" Yami started but then stopped himself.

"When we what?" Anzu asked.

"I-It's nothing. Forget about it," Yami answered.

"Atem Mutou. You better tell me right now or I'll…" Anzu started but Yami gave in.

"Alright, alright. I'll tell you. Just don't call me by my whole name."

Anzu smiled. Satisfied that she got her friend to give in. Yami knew better than to push Anzu any further after she had said his whole name. The last time he did that, he found himself dangling on this very tree.

"I was going to ask if you remembered when we… kissed underneath this tree," Yami said while turning away a little so that Anzu wouldn't see the small blush that was sneaking its way up to his face. Little did he know, a small blush was creeping onto Anzu's face, too.

"I-I remember," Anzu said which made Yami look at her fully. "H-How can I forget. It was right here at this spot. But we were just kids. We didn't really know what was going on."

"Y-Yeah. Just kids." It almost broke their hearts to be saying that.

"R-Remember what Ana and Cleo said after we k-kissed?" Anzu asked.

"W-What? Oh! You mean that? Well, they were only a year old. You know what they say… Kids say the darndest things."

"But do you remember?" Anzu insisted.

"Y-Yeah. They said 'Yami kiss Anzu.' But like I said. They were only a year old," Yami replied.

"Uh-huh. When I move away, do you know what I'm gonna miss the most?" Anzu asked.

"What?" Yami asked curiously.

"You," Anzu replied shortly. "You've always been a good friend to me and after I move, I don't know if we'll ever see each other again," she said sadly.

"I'm going to miss you too. But don't worry. I'm sure that we'll meet each other again," Yami said.

"You promise?" Anzu asked.

"I promise," Yami said. Anzu eyed him a little suspiciously.

"Fine. We'll pinkie swear on it." Yami held out his pinkie and said, "I, Yami Atem Mutou, promise to never forget my best friend, Anzu, and that we will meet again someday and be together forever."

Anzu giggled at that but then held up her own pinkie and said, "And I, Anzu Mazaki, promise to never forget my best friend, Yami, and that we will meet again and be together forever." After they said their promises, they intertwined their pinkies together thinking that today wasn't the end of their friendship, but the beginning.
