Author's Notes: Ok so I could NOT leave the story the way it was. I tried so hard, but I just couldn't! I am so against anti climatic stories that I had to make another chapter. So this one shot based on a song is now a two shot...part 2 is not based on a song. Just a way to end the story, in a good way. Sorry for the confusion and I hope you enjoy. READ AND REVIEW PLEASE
Yugi awoke in a hospital bed. He sat up and looked around, unaware of his surroundings. "Yugi!" He heard a familiar voice call out. "Your awake!"
"Tea?" He asked sounding scratchy. "What happened?" He had a look of confuse, he couldn't remember what lead him to be in a hospital bed.
She put her head down and sighed. "Do you remember the warehouse?" Just as she said that, the memories came flooding back. The evil that filled his heart, the threats he made to the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh!
"Yami!" He looked around, not noticing Tea was beginning to cry. "Tea, where is he!?" He demanded.
"Yugi, he's, he's." She looked at him and she had tears falling from her eyes. "He's gone."
Yugi couldn't believe it. No, that couldn't be possible. "No, didn't you guys save him?" He hollered louder then he should.
"We didn't get to him in time. We found you and him, both covered in blood. We thought you both were hurt." She looked away from Yugi. "But we learned quickly it was all his blood."
"Where is my puzzle!?" Yugi demanded. "I need it now!" He started to stand up, but Tea stopped him.
"I will get it. You need to rest." Tea stood up and walked over to a cabinet, she opened it to find a bag and rummaged through it. Inside the puzzle was buried on the bottom. She took it out, put the bag back in the cabinet, and walked over to Yugi once more. "Here you go, it was around Yami's neck. Joey took it before the EMT got there, he knew you would want it." She handed the puzzle over to him.
Yugi took the puzzle from her. "Where is he?" He asked.
"They haven't spoken to us since we aren't family, they won't even talk to grandpa. But we are trying our hardest to figure it out. We want him to have a proper burial." She chocked on the last words. She refused to cry again, she had cried enough the last three days.
"Can you leave me alone, please?" Yugi bowed his head and shadows formed over his face. Tea nodded and walked out the door without a word. Yugi laid on the bed and curled the puzzle close to his chest, he began to cry. He cried till he finally fell asleep. Just then, the puzzle flashed and Yugi was transported to his soul room. "What?" He was confused. The puzzle was still responding to him. He looked around, the room was changing. What used to be a room filled with toys and games, the room used to be a color of blue and a hint of grey on the walls and pictures hanging, and there once was a made bed. Now the toys were gone or broken, games all is a disarray, the walls were brown and old, with cracks and some even had black stains on it. The pictures were torn off. The bed was gone, now it was just a mattress. He had destroyed it by allowing the darkness to swallow him, he had a lot to do to fix it. But he knew eventually, after he healed, he would be able to move on and recover what he lost. He sighed. "Not everything." He looked at his door and walked towards it. "Is he really gone?" He mumbled to himself. He placed his hand on the handle and turned it. He had kept his eyes close, knowing that he would be disappointed. But in fact, when he opened his eyes, he saw another door. The Pharaoh's door! "Yami?" He called out softly. He took a couple steps and placed his hand once again on the handle of his other's soul room. "Please, be here." He closed his eyes again and pushed open the door. When he got through and opened his eyes, he saw the staircases, the doors, it looked the same. Yugi couldn't restrain himself. "PHARAOH!" He called out as loud as he could. He allowed the door to close behind him and walked at a fast pace towards the middle of the floor. "Please! Come back!" He screamed, tears forming in his eyes again.
Yami stepped out of the shadows and towards Yugi, who did not notice him. He had a small limp in his step, he didn't have the typical navy jacket on nor did he have a shirt on. His eyes showed pain and around his waist was a bandage wrap. "Aibou." He whispered, Yugi did not hear him.
"I am sorry. So sorry!" Yugi cried, falling to his knees. "I killed you, your gone because of me!" Yugi felt a hand touch his shoulder and he snapped up to see Yami in front of him.
"Don't cry, Aibou. You can't kill someone, who is already dead." He smiled looking down at Yugi. Who in return jumped him and hugged him tight. "Ow, ow, aibou." Yami said pulling Yugi off of him.
"Oh no! I'm so sorry." Yugi looked down at the Pharaoh's bare chest and noticed the bandages. "Are you ok?" He asked.
"I will be fine. I am just sore." He replied.
"How are you here?" Yugi asked.
"Like I just told you, you can not kill someone who is already dead." Yami stated. "I have been a spirit for five thousand years, I haven't been alive in a long time."
Yugi wiped the tears from his face. "But you had a physical body. That means you died, right?"
"Yes, but that was dark magic that gave me that body. The puzzle keeps my spirit going, as long as you are alive and the puzzle is in tact." The Pharaoh winced as he finished his thought.
"Yami." Yugi reached out and held him up. "Let's get you somewhere to rest."
Yami nodded and followed Yugi to his soul room, though the bed was nothing more than a mattress, it was better than the cold floor. "Thank you." he sighed as he sat down on it, leaning against the cold stone wall.
"It's the least I can do." Yugi sighed, clenching his fists. "I caused you this pain."
The Pharaoh nodded. "No, I did. I have allowed such evil into your life, if it wasn't for me, you would be a normal teen."
"But I wouldn't have my friends or you." Yugi smiled sadly down at his companion.
"You would have friends, granted not me, but friends." He tapped the spot on the mattress next to him, silently asking Yugi to sit near him. Which Yugi did with no hesitation. "Yugi do you remember everything that happened?"
"I think so. I know I was consumed by the darkness, I ran off, to the warehouse. After that you came and found me, we fought, yelled at each other." Yugi tried remembering it all, it was a little cloudy in his mind. "Why do you ask?"
"Do you remember right before you stabbed me?" Yami sighed, not sure if he wanted Yugi to remember or not.
"Uhm, I don't think so." Yugi put his hand to his chin and thought about it for a moment. "Wait, I think we." He stopped and looked up to Yami. "Did we?"
Yami nodded. "Yes, I kissed you."
Yugi's jaw dropped. "Why?"
"Because Yugi, I thought it would help. You know, the whole true love's kiss thing." Yami smiled down at Yugi. "I saw it in a movie." He winked, trying to avoid the subject.
"True love?" Yugi smiled. "You love me Yami?" He asked the young Pharaoh. Both didn't take their eyes off of each other.
Yami didn't answer for what seemed like forever. He thought what it would do to Yugi and himself if they opened up more, in a romantic way. "Yes." He finally sighed, turning away from Yugi's eyes.
"Wow." Yugi took his eyes off of Yami as well, staring at the ground in front of him. "I love you too." He smiled.
Yami's head snapped towards Yugi. "What?"
"I said I love you too."
"You do?"
"Yes." Yugi smiled big. He leaned up, placing his left hand on Yami's cheek, pulling him close. He brushed his lips against Yami's, closing his eyes, he waited for a reaction. When he didn't feel the Pharaoh pull away he pressed his lips against him. Yami in return kissed back, eyes closed, he turned slightly to face Yugi better and wrapped his arms around his waist. There they shared a deep kiss, one that would not be broken. One that was better than their first.
Once they needed to come up for air, Yami sighed. "I love you so much." He smiled opening his eyes.
Yugi giggled. "I know." He looked into Yami's eyes. "What happened to your body?" He finally asked.
"You see when I died, the body kinda just vanished after time." Yami grinned. "I would hate to see the look on the mortician's face."
Yugi laughed lightly and wrapped his arms around Yami's neck. "I am so glad you're still here."
"As am I, Aibou." Yami hugged Yugi close, though it hurt his wounds to have such close contact, his heart needed to have Yugi close.
"Mou Hitori no Boku." Yugi smiled. Nothing more was needed to be said, they were content in their minds, in their hearts, and most importantly they were together again. One day they knew their time together would end, but till then, they both would enjoy their time together.
