Incomplete.

The wind rushes past my figure as I sit here, legs dangling off the side swaying gently as I stare upwards at the night sky. The sky is beautiful, the stars are shining brightly and the moon is emanating a soft glow which in turn makes my eyes shimmer.. Though that's not the only reason.

I let the tears run freely down my face as I stare ahead, my skin feels moist, but I don't care. I don't care that I'm crying so openly, I don't care about anything at the moment.

Not since my Mou Hitori No Boku left..

My other half.

I feel incomplete.

Alone..

He left me.. He left me so he could re-enter the afterlife, to go back to where he is supposed to be. I'm happy for him I really am, but what about us, what about me? Selfish as it is, I want him back, I need him, but I'm completely powerless. He cannot hear my pleas.. He's gone.

He's gone..

Loud sobs rack my body as I try to come to terms with his departure, however, it's an impossible task, it has been since he left.

Which happened to be a year ago today.

It didn't hit me until a couple of months after his departure. It was like I was paralysed to let out any emotions, that my body didn't yet realize what is just missing, who is missing. When it hit me though, it hit me like a tonne of bricks and a thousand knives. It hurt so bad the pain was indescribable, my heart broke then and there, a kind of broke that cannot be fixed. I feel an empty void in my heart every time I think about him, my lungs feel constricted and my breathing is irregular.

No one understands, everyone says the do, but they don't! They've never shared their body, mind, heart and soul with another, they don't know the sensation, the bond.. they have no clue, they never will, so how come they act like they do? The gang seemed to have moved on from his departure with no problem and that hurt me deeply, how could they let the Pharaoh go from their hearts so easily especially after everything he's done for us, everything he's done for them. He helped us, he protected us, he gave us hope in life and friendship. All he asked in return was our friendship, that was all.

He deserves more.. Much more.

They let him go too easily.

My other half where are you?

I cross my arms over my chest, embracing the rain as it bounces on my face and mixes with my tears. The droplets evaporate just for new ones to take its place on my skin. I didn't care though, it's soothing, It's from the heavens, after all.. Just where my darkness is.

My heart clenches painfully tight in my chest, the pain hurt, but I embraced it. Pain is the only comfort I have.. It helps me forget my problems to some extent. Only for a little while.

I stay for a short while longer before sitting up from my position to take my leave, as my Grampa was most likely worried about my whereabouts.

He knows about my love for the Pharaoh and has been helping me with each passing day. Offering his support and a shoulder to cry on from time to time when I need it most. I'm not the same kid I used to be and everyone knows that. I don't rely on my friends for anything, no comfort or sympathy because I don't want it. The only person I'd take it from is my Grampa and that's because he understands to a certain extent, however not fully, but he doesn't make out he does. He knows I have a bond with Yami that he and no one would be able to understand.

It's unique, although our bond has lessened slightly after his departure. it's now quiet, empty and unreachable. My darkness is out of my grasp. There's nothing there anymore whatsoever.. However, the bond stays strong in my heart, I will keep him harbored there.

I'm happy I met Yami, I don't regret putting the puzzle back together whatsoever, though I wish he stayed, I wish he denied his pass to the afterlife and carried on his life living with me in the millennium puzzle, he did have a choice after all.

But is that a selfish thought from me? To wish, he never entered the afterlife only because I couldn't take the pain of my love leaving because I didn't want to be alone for the rest of my life? How could I be so cruel in wishing my Mou Hitori No Boku to spend the rest of his life trapped in his own puzzle as a prisoner only because I had not wanted him to leave my side.

But without him I'm not the same confident gamer. No, I'm different, a kind of different that would make my other half frown. I've recoiled back into the little shell I used to be in before my other half entered my life.

However, I don't care, I care for nothing anymore. I just want him back.. My heart aches for him and one day it will shatter into a thousand pieces.

I feel my heart slowing tearing apart every day, I'm breaking terribly on the inside as I am on the outside. How can I carry on with half of my heart when my darkness holds the other half?

I can't live without him, I need him.

Thoughts are constantly swirling around my head, mostly what ifs. What if I told him of my love for him, would he have stayed? What If I lost the duel, would he still be with me now? Laughing and joking as he floats above me, caressing my mind with his voice and happy thoughts.

Would he love me back?

I felt my knees buckle beneath me before I fell to the soaked pavement, my knees scraping the rough surface as I fall, but I didn't pay any mind to the pain, the greater pain is in my heart.

I let out my emotions as I sit from my fallen position on the ground. My eyes sting painfully from all the crying and are no doubt red and puffy at this particular moment. I hold myself as my body shakes with the sobs that are running freely from my open mouth. My face clenches tightly from the sheer amount of emotion escaping my small body "Mou Hitori No Boku" A hiccup escaped my lips at his name though I continued "I'm c-coming for y-you!"

And I will.

I can't take this pain anymore.

I slowly rise to my feet before continuing my journey towards the game shop. It's not that far away so I arrived there in a relatively quick time. I open the front door and headed inside, walking towards the back which leads to my house. The room was dark just like on the outside, meaning my Grampa more than likely opted on heading to bed, I don't blame him really..

I pace towards the kitchen and promptly clutched a sharp silver object from within one of the drawers. I knew I was still crying, but I let them run freely as I make my way towards my bedroom. It's quiet, just like always, just like my mind is quiet without my other half.

I enter my room, turning to shut the door quietly behind me. I walk into the bathroom and take a glance at my reflection in the mirror. My figure looks skinnier than average and my hair and clothes are disheveled, making me resemble the walking dead. But that's just how I feel. I haven't worried about my appearance for a year, it was the furthest thing on my mind. I look closer until my gaze lands towards my eyes, they were puffy and lifeless as if void of emotion. If only people knew what I feel like on the inside.

I look down at the object that's securely in my hand before tightening the grip on it slightly as I raised it up towards my chest..

"I'll see you soon my love.." I need to do this, I need to be with him, to tell him I love him as I never got the chance to before.

Now I do..

I put pressure on the blade while it slowly penetrated my chest until it struck the object of my pain... My heart. Dot's of black clouded my vision as I slowly fell to my knees, knife dropping out of my grasp with a clank as it hit the cold floor beneath me. My mind blurred and my eyes started to droop slightly. The pain in my chest was no match for the turmoil I've been through without my darkness. I could feel myself lose myself with every passing second and I embraced it, encouraged it to come closer, to pick up its pace.

My heart will be where it belongs, with my darkness.

Dark and Light will be together again, as they're destined to.

Everything went black.

It was over.

I wake up sometime later to a faint noise in the background, my eyes flutter open just to frown. Where am I, where's my darkness? I take a glance around the room as I notice my surroundings. The room was unfamiliar. I look down then up "What the hell" It came out before I could stop it, I never expected a response but when I did I jumped slightly.

"Yugi?"

I turn around and my eyes widened "Isis?"

I watch as she smiled brightly before nodding "Yes it's me Yugi"

"Where am I?" I couldn't help the frown that took over my face.

Did I fail?

"You're in the afterlife, you made it."

My eyes widened, I'm dead? I'm in the afterlife? "R-really, then where's Yami?" If im in the afterlife where is Yami, I'm sure he would be with me, does he not care?

I watched with a raised eyebrow as she chuckled, what's so funny..

"He is in the throne room, he has no knowledge of your arrival, you did randomly make your appearance here after all"

My mouth went dry at her words, Yami is here! I couldn't stop the grin from pulling at my lips "Take me to him, please"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Pharaoh that's everything"

Yami sighed ''Are you sure?"

"Yes your highness, that's all for today, unless you need to discuss the upcoming ball"

"Ah, yes, that's coming very soon, is it not"

"Yes my Pharaoh"

Yami rubbed his temples from the upcoming headache, he was tired and he needed rest "Very well, maybe we can discuss th-" He was cut off by the opening of the door, he frowned slightly at the rude interruption.

"What in the name of Ra is going on?"

Isis bowed before her Pharaoh, her gaze focused on the floor "Apologies my Pharaoh, but there is someone here that wants to meet you."

"Someone that wants to meet me, Isn't there a better time Isis?" He frowned when she shook her head in response. He was hoping to get back to his chamber so he can mourn the loss of his other half. His Aibou, who he misses dearly. He made a mistake by leaving him and would do anything to go back in time and change his decision, even if it meant being trapped within his puzzle for eternity, he didn't care.

"I'm sure you will want to meet this person, my Pharaoh."

He let out a sigh before nodding mutely "Send them in.." He gave a nod towards the guard, indicating for them to bring the newcomer in.

Yami raised an eyebrow at the grin embracing Isis's features, he shrugged it off, instantly turning his attention back towards the door as it opened.

His heart immediately stopped beating.

"YUGI!" Yami cried out, watching his light enter the throne room. Said person snapped his head up at the sound of his Mou Hitori No Boku's voice before he broke into a sprint, tears falling from his eyes.

"Mou Hitori No Boku!" He cried, running towards his Darkness just as Yami ran towards him, tears in his own eyes. Yugi felt strong arms wrap around him tightly, he buried his face in Yami's shoulder and arms around his neck as he sobbed "Oh gods, Yami.. My darkness, you're here.. I FOUND YOU!" He let the water droplets trickle down his cheeks until they wet Yami's bare shoulder, his tears never ceasing in their trails.

"Yugi.. My light, I can't believe you're here, how?" He held his light tightly in his embrace, afraid this experience is nothing but a dream he will later awaken from. His tears fell from his face as he cried with his light.. The light who is currently in his arms.

"I'm sorry Yami, don't hate me, please.. I couldn't live without you! I j-just.. It hurt so much to be without you, I gave in to my hearts wishes to be reunited with you!" He squeezed his other half tighter never breaking his hold.

Yami shook his head before pulling Yugi at arms length "Y-you killed yourself.." when his light nodded he continued "how?"

Yugi removed one of his arms that was currently holding onto Yami to wipe the moisture forming in his eyes "I s-stabbed myself in the heart..."

"Yugi.."

"I know" he cut him off, he didn't want Yami to be mad "I couldn't live without you other me, I needed to be reunited with you. How could I live with a hole in my heart, how could I live without the one I came to love dearly?"

Yami's eyes widened before more moisture formed in his eyes at his Aibous words "You love me Yugi?.. please tell me I heard right."

He nodded to reassure his dark "I do, I love you Mou Hitori No Boku, I love you with all my heart, I couldn't let you go.. D-do you understand that?"

Yami gave a small smile before pulling Yugi flush against his chest "I love you too Yugi, my light.. If I could change back time to the day of the ceremonial duel, I would've done so in a heartbeat if under different circumstances."

Yugi choked on his sobs at his Mou Hitori No Boku's confession "Really Yami, you really mean it?"

"With all my heart" He leaned forward to kiss Yugi on the lips. The kiss held all the love both had held inside their hearts for as long as they can remember. The kiss was slow and passionate, they needed this to reassure the other that they were here together in each others arms, to reassure that it's not just a sick dream and was indeed reality.

Breaking the kiss Yugi gazed into Yami's eyes "Yami?" after gaining a nod he continued "You said under different circumstances, what do you mean?"

He sighed as he brought Yugi closer to his body, loving the scent of his lover "I left because if I were to stay I'd be locked in my puzzle for eternity.. I would never be freed. One day you would pass on to the afterlife whereas I'd still be in my puzzle.. We'd be separated again" He gave Yugi a reassuring smile before continuing "However, I decided to move to the afterlife, knowing that one day you'll soon follow and join me here where I'd be able to confess my love to you and spend all eternity with you by my side"

Yugi sniffed before rubbing at his eyes frantically bidding the tears to go away "But In your time Japan didn't exist so how were we to meet in the afterlife? When I died I was brought here, why?"

Yami grinned down at Yugi, wiping the tears from his lover's eyes "I made a deal with the gods little one. They granted me my wish, my wish for you to join me in the afterlife when you pass on so both our souls can be at rest, together as one, just like we're supposed to be." He kissed his lights forehead before pulling back and smiling happily.

"You've loved me all along.. Meaning you didn't want to leave me?"

Yami frowned at his question "Of course I didn't want to leave you love, It wasn't my intention to make you feel that way."

Yugi nodded at that answer as he grinned up at his darkness "I love you deeply Mou Hitori No Boku."

"As I you Aibou."

"For eternity."
