A/N: Welcome to my story! This story will kind of follow the manga, though I might make some changes here and there. As the summary already tells, Yugi is female in this story. I really wanted to see if I could write Yami's feelings on sharing a body with a girl. (I'm so gonna have fun with him realizing that his skirt is shorter's than Yugi's.) Anyway, I want the story to focus on Yugi trying to live with the knowledge, that she got a chance other's wouldn't get and how she felt not being able to leave the hospital, or her room, with some exceptions. In the meantime I want to make Yami realize some things as well, so...

Warnings: Currently none, other than some blood coughing.

"Mhm, doesn't fit."

Sitting in a comfortable bed, was a girl with tri-colored hair and stunning amethyst eyes. She sighed once again in disappointment, as the puzzle piece didn't fit, "Why can't that damn thing just suit?" Maybe she should reconsider working on the puzzle. But then again, she spent eight years of her life on it, to drop it now would be stupid.

Sighing once again, her amethyst eyes glanced at the wall in front of her. White, how irritating. She probably should have been used by it after all these years, but it still pissed her off. Especially, since it might be the last sight she would see, before she left the world. Not that it mattered anymore. Brushing her bangs out of her face, she looked at her sickly pale hands and wondered how many weeks - or days - she still had. Probably not much, considering how much her throat hurt and the amount of blood she coughed up in the past weeks.

"Mutou-chan?"

The girl blinked, as she realized that she wasn't alone in her room anymore.

"Hm?" She didn't bother to speak, there wasn't anything to say and it was better for her throat. And no one minded, because they learned fast that Yugi only cared about games, her grandpa and the puzzle. Everything other would be dismissed.

"Mutou-san called to tell you, that she won't be able to come today."

Yugi nodded quietly. Nothing new, her mother came never. For a moment silence filled the room, but then the nurse spoke up, "Um… Are… Are you okay, Mutou-chan? Do you need something?"

For a moment Yugi furrowed her eyes, but then – for the first time of the day – she looked away from the wall and to the nurse. Ah, that explains it. The nurse was new. Everyone knew that Yugi didn't bother with questions, or speaking in general, and for every, are you okay, she would only nod and smile a fake smile. It didn't matter if she was fine, because in that goddamn hospital, she never would be.

She sighed a third time and thought about speaking up, before the woman embarrassed herself even more. She was saved by the arrival of another nurse, who realized the situation and told the new nurse to come with him, so that he could explain her Yugi's case.

As the door softly closed, to make her clear she was alone again, the bedridden girl looked at the golden pieces in her hands. Her grandpa once told her that whoever solved the puzzle, would be granted a wish. But there was also something about darkness. She would have to ask her grandfather later.

She didn't really have a wish or desire, since the only she started on the puzzle, was because she considered it challenge. Yugi adored challenges. Heck, that was the only reason she studied and tried to get better in everything she wasn't.

That besides, there was one thing that she considered as wish. Someone to look after her beloved grandfather, because her mother wouldn't.

Smiling at the thought of her grandfather, she looked down to glance at golden object in her hands. She had more than the half done, but it still was extremely difficult to fit the other pieces. Though she would not give up.

After all it was her last challenge.

Some days passed, and it was clear to everyone, that she got even worse. Nurses and her doctor where checking even more on her up as normally. The amount of coughing she did was even more worse than before, and she got weaker.

Though that was the last thing that interested her. Currently she was trying to get to puzzle finished as soon as possible. Yugi had seen the pain in her grandfather's eyes as her on his last visit.

The realization that she really wouldn't survive.

So, she hoped that the puzzle could really grant her a wish. Someone to look after her grandfather. That's why she didn't stop working on it for hours, her frustration guiding her.

At first nurses tried to stop her, telling her that working on it wasn't good for her, but then they gave up, realizing that she wouldn't stop. Especially since she was soon finished. Only three pieces.

Smiling to herself she reached for the last puzzle... only to grab air. Huh? Looking into the box, she didn't see the piece. Where is it?

Hastily, she stood up, ignoring the feeling of nausea and the knowledge that she would be scolded for that. She wasn't allowed to leave the bed, the only exception being the bathroom.

Walking around her room, the puzzle in her left hand, she knelt to look under the bed and her nightstand. Nothing. Where was it? Standing up, she bit her lip, as she felt a familiar feeling in her throat. The one that told her, that some bad coughing would begin. Yugi tried to hold it off. For some reason, it felt worse than before. Huh, why was her sight so blurred? Slowly and on dizzy steps, she tried to walk to her bed, only to drop halfway, the puzzle still in her hand. She felt so weak. But then she noticed it. Something golden shining. The last puzzle piece. It was hidden in the shadows, so she didn't see it earlier, but now...

Stretching her hand, she weakly tried to reach it... Only to stop as she brought it as fast as possible with her strength, to her mouth and coughed harshly. It was only as something dropped on her left hand and on the puzzle, that she realized her right hand was full of blood. No. No... No!

This was the worst sign she could have gotten. She wouldn't survive the week, probably not even the next night! With new found strength, Yugi grabbed the last piece, ignoring how dizzy she got and how much her throat hurt.

Suddenly she heard steps coming nearer and Yugi knew she needed to be fast, so she tried to fit the piece into the puzzle, ignoring that it was soaked in her blood. As she finally finished it, her energy left her and she closed her eyes, not hearing that someone opened the door.

Please... please have someone look after my grandfather... I... I don't want... him... be lonely... anymore.

As screams filled the room, he opened his eyes. The shadows were crying.

And as images filled him, he soon realized why. The girl was lying on the ground, almost not breathing and holding the puzzle, which was soaked in blood, as if her life depended on it.

She was dying.

He felt sad at the fact, considering from all the images he has seen the past years, the girl, Yugi, didn't seem to be bad or evil in any way. Also, she managed to solve the millennium puzzle, which even older, and more experienced people couldn't.

But then he felt something. She made a wish in her condition? Maybe she wished for the pain to go away...

Please... please have someone look after my grandfather... I... I don't want... him... be lonely... anymore.

His scarlet eyes widened in shock. What?! She was at the edge of dying and yet...

...Very well, her wish shall be granted.
