Hi, I´m Calligan and I´ll be telling this story. It´s the type of story that starts out slow and develops, so you won´t exactly find Yugi and Atem´s love connection at first but eventually.. I promise It´ll be worth it, just be patient. this chapter is just the aftermath of how Yugi is doing six months after the ceremonial duel. So long story short, I hope you enjoy. :)

Chapter 1: The Aftermath
All ended, there was nothing more to it, or so people thought. All the millenium items had returned to their final resting place including Pharaoh Atem. 6 months had passed since those events and Yugi had moved on with his life, he still remembered saving the world once in a while and couldn´t quite believe those days were over but at least he still had duel monsters and his gang, except for one crucial member.
- Oh no, I´ll be late for school again! - Yugi expressed.
He ran as fast as he could when suddenly a familiar face came across his way, it was Anzu.
- Oh hey Anzu, what´re you doing here? If we don´t hurry up we´ll be late for school! - Yugi said breathlessly.
- I know Yugi, I was actually waiting for you - Anzu explained.
- Me? Why? And how´d you know I´d be late? - Yugi interrogated Anzu.
Anzu giggled.
- Calm down Yugi it was just a hunch, and besides I wanted to take a walk before going to school - Anzu stated.
- A walk? What for? - Yugi asked confused.
- Boy you´re awfully curious today, aren´t you, Yugi? - Anzu said.
- Sorry - Yugi chuckled.
- I couldn´t help it, you´re my friend so it´s only normal for me to wonder, you know? - Yugi said.
Anzu laughed.
- Guess you´re right, anyway I wanted to take a walk through the places I once walked with The Pharaoh - Anzu frowned sadly.
Yugi froze at what Anzu said for he had tried so hard to not think about him, it was too sad to have lost his closest friend, his other self.
- Oh, I see.. - Yugi´s gaze became sad.
- Yugi.. don´t be sad, I miss him too but remember! He´ll never completely leave us as long as we have all those memories with him in our hearts and no matter what, we will always be his friends - Anzu said.
Yugi smiled for Anzu.
- Yeah, you´re right, what was I thinking? Of course we will - Yugi said.
They both smiled friendly at each other before realizing they were already late, so they made a run for school where Jonouchi and Honda are waiting for them.
(Mou Hitori No Boku, I wonder how´s the afterlife for you, I miss you but I know this was the best for you so I´m okay with it, I´m living my own story one step at a time and I´m doing great, the part of you that stayed in me has helped a lot, thanks to you I´m not afraid of what tomorrow has in store for me anymore so thank you for everything and until next time, my friend.) - Yugi thought to himself as him and Anzu headed towards school.
Today was a brand new day and Yugi knew it, he was finally accepting the fact of being himself on his own without his other half.
He was in for a big surprise.
Calligan: Thanks for reading and just in case some haven´t watched the Japanese anime version, Yugi calls his other self "Mou Hitori No Boku" and his other self calls him "Aibou", so yeah as you can see I´m sticking to what actually happened in the end of the anime and I´m telling this story according to the Japanese version, hope you like it and it will obviously continue... Later! :)
