Right, I'm just going to make this very clear.
NOTE: PLEASE READ THE NOTES BEFORE THE STORY THAT I HAVE PUT, AS THEY ARE IMPORTANT AND WILL HOPEFULLY PREVENT CONFUSION.
I'll just say a few things to get stuff straight.
- The prologue is to explain why Yami is not in the afterlife in my story.
- In the story anybody other than Yugi and Yami's friends, do not know of Yami's existence. This includes Sugoroku – Yugi's grandfather.
- I will be using some japanese words in this story, I will put a list of the translations at in the author notes at the beginning of the story incase you don't understand.
- This story may seem like its explaining things you already know – for example that Yami is Yugi's other half, darker half, etc. This is because people who have not seen all of Yu-gi-oh Duel Monsters! Or those who have not seen Yu-gi-oh at all, will be reading this story. (For example, some people I know in real life). I'm sorry if this bugs you.
- There will be two OCs (Original Characters) in this story of mine.
- Yugi is age 16. Yami is age '17' (You could say 3017 years old, but maybe not.)
- I have watched the JAPANESE anime. JAPANESE. Got it? Not English. In the English anime, things are slightly different. For example – names, and Yami being from 5000 years ago, not the original 3000.
- If you're confused about anything else, feel free to contact me and ask. ~(^ ^)
- When I have completed this story, I may write a sequel depending on reviews, requests and just the story in general. We'll see, ne?
- The pairing is Yami x Yugi. And talk to me about other pairings, ne?
- Yugi's friends will NOT appear in this story. Well, maybe, but I'm keeping it a secret. If you really want it, ask me for a sequel.
- This story will eventually have a LEMON, or LEMON(s). Yes.
- I'm kind of slow with the whole revealing thing, I know I know, it's bad to tease. But still, I hope you enjoy the story.
- I think that's it?
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. Alright? If I did, I'd have Yami and Yugi doing sexual things in the anime. No, really. The only things I own are the words you're about to read, and the OCs. ~(^ ^)
Please do review if you actually read this. Constructive criticisms please, flames I'll only use to burn down houses. I won't bother to update if I don't get any reviews. This is actually my first fanfiction, and the first story I've bothered to write in about 3 or more years.
In the story:

Prologue:
Yami hadn't left for the afterlife. No, the tanned, at first seemingly emotionless former Pharaoh had actually walked through the doors. However, as soon as he started to turn – as soon as he saw the overwhelming feelings of his friends, his lighter half, he felt something. Naturally, he had felt things before when retrieving his memories, duelling and travelling with the innocent, shorter, Yugi. But not like this. In only a second, the afterlife was no longer significant. What was home? He knew. His home was at the game shop, and for that one, selfish, meaningful second, he just didn't care. He didn't care whether or not the God's would be furious, looking down upon him. Really, he only wished that they would be able to forgive and overlook his selfish act.
Fully turning around and giving a faint smile – a strong, open and caring smile, he ran back to Yugi and the others. As soon as his presence touched the world of the living, a beam of light surrounded Atemu. His soul and body basked in the light that was forced upon him, and his soul speedily travelled back to where it had been - within Yugi.
Once more, Atemu became Yugi's other half. Yugi's one and only – 'Mou hitori no boku', Yami.
