PT: Yeah...this is that meme in which one listens to songs on shuffle, then type up a drabble inspired by listening to it for each, and it can only be worked on for the duration of the song. No returning to beta it. Also written because of a massive writers' block I am currently ailing from.
Disclaimer: ...Well then. I guess not.

大江东去 (Da Jiang Dong Chu-Great River Goes East) - 阿兰
The river Nile flows on, ceaselessly, and endlessly. And after thousands of years, it still has not stopped.
For life, and for death—Atem has been in both, and he is dead but alive, going onwards, like that Nile by which he was born. Locked to this earth, and now finally free to pass on...
His friends await. No matter how long they are parted, they are to united again, and that is a law on the earth, one way or the other. And he leaves behind those of the modern world, knowing he will see them again as well—soon, they will all be one, those of past and future—or present.
No matter how long the wait.
霍元甲 (Huo Yuan Jia) – 周杰伦
Yuugi could very well be his descendant.
The future is different, and Yuugi—Yuugi has grown. Yuugi has lived longer, without dying once, and he has more time. When he left, Atem was sure that he would surpass him, and that moving on—
A friend is unforgettable.
And Yuugi still feels bereaved, but he is still alive, and this is not the end of the line—there is still more, and he clings fast to the hope of seeing his other self once more.
Years have passed. And yet he still remembers. In the deck he carries, in the endlessness of the aging sky.
Years have passed. And he remembers.
He will never forget, in this legacy he clutches, tight in his fists.
Far Away – Nickelback
It's a funny thing, time. Giving and taking.
What is there to say?
Anzu is no longer sure. Did she love him, before he left?—did she?
Did she?
She cannot say, but she knows that it has been so very long since she saw his face. She does know, however, that he was a friend. They were friends, and she misses him, the confidence, the one she had been through so much with.
Does he still have the cartouche?
She thinks so.
对面的女孩看过来 (Dui Mian De Nu Hai Kan Guo Lai-Opposite Girls Look Over Here) - 任贤齐
Fangirls. Was that what they were called?
Oh.
Kaiba ignored them. As long as they adored them, then—
Screw that.
Die Gedanken Sind Frei – Studentlieder
It's not unusual for Joey and Tristan to frolic about, singing and dancing. But this was just absurd—
How free they are, two dunderheads who argue and sing like drunkards, speaking their minds on the first instant, no matter how serious they themselves are. Idiots.
But that is why Yuugi has them for friends—because he appreciates that.

PT: So...have I put you through enough torture? I started feeling a little awkward about the drabbles near the end...especially when I came upon a whole slew of love songs. And the one about flirting...geez, what –am- I listening to? O_O And it's totally not creepy, the amount of Chinese songs I have. Nuh-uh. And it's totally not awkward how I continuously write about Atem leaving. Gah. ...Well, anyways. Hope you enjoyed :D This was rather fun~
