Chapter 3
Hello then Goodbye
(Yugi's P.O.V)
'I couldn't believe my eyes, he was back, but why.' I thought, I ran towards him and threw my vest over his head. He just looked at me and said, "You'll need this, I don't."
"But, you've been standing out here longer than I have, you'll need it." I replied, and dragged him in the house.
(After he helped Atem settle in)
We both sat in my room, quiet, until I asked "So why are you here?"
"Because tomorrow was the day we met, I was allowed to visit this one time." He said "Plus our remaining time together, was that long, we dueled each other right away without anytime to hang out a little longer, so this is like a gift from the Gods, for helping us."
"Oh! That's great, let's do everything we used to together and not even think about dueling today." I shouted joyfully, "Let's go get Anzu and them too."
"Sure!" he said standing up.
We visited their houses, they were all surprise to him and happy at the same time, Anzu did nothing but spring her arms around him and Jonouchi did the same, and Honda joined in the hug.
"So, you decided to pay a visit." Jonouchi said
"You could have told us." Honda said
"Well, I wanted to surprise you, you know I'm full of surprises." Atem laughed.
"Well, let's go around the city and have the time of our lives!" Anzu said
"Ok!" we all said.
We visited games shops, went down to the café, and then we reached a small pier, we all stood there watching the sun set and smiling at one another. We started to go back and passed a park, then it began to snow. We couldn't resist, we started having a snowball fight, later said good bye and went home.
Atem and I sat in my room talking and playing games.
"I win!" I shouted
"You have definitely gotten better." Atem said
"Really?" I said rubbing my head.
"Yep, I used to beat you at this game all the time." Atem teased
"Do you have to remind me of that!" I shouted, but then burst into laughter and he did too, but the he stopped and looked down.
I stopped too and asked what's the matter, but all he did was stand up and walk to the window and look outside.
"Yugi, I can't stay here forever." he said. "I came here today for a right farewell because tomorrow was the first day we met, but at 12 o clock midnight I have to go."
"I know." Yugi said. Atem turned and looked at me looking surprised.
"You came to have fun with your friends again, and after today you have to go back, Anzu and the know too, so they won't be surprised either if they don't see you tomorrow." I said. "And I promise I won't cry this time."
"You've gotten stronger Yugi." Atem said
"Thanks to you." I said smiling.
He smiled back, then sat back down, "Let's play again and this time I'm not going easy on you."
"You're on!" I said and we began playing, after a while, we stopped and went outside to the balcony and talked, I looked at my watch and noticed 1 minutes till 12 and goodbye Atem forever.
He looked at me and said, "Guess, it's almost time."
"Yeah." I said, then the clock struck 12, "Guess it is time."
Then slowly I noticed Atem started to fade, I grabbed arm but it went right through him, I could feel my eye's watering up, but I couldn't let out my tears I promised him I wouldn't cry, but my heart hurts so much, I have to see my friend go again.
"Yugi, catch!" Atem shouted threw me something. I caught it, it was the middle piece of the Millennium puzzle.
"Yugi, even if we're far apart we'll never be alone, we're FRIENDS FOREVER!" he shouted. I nodded, "I know!" I shouted.
"Good bye partner…." he said with a tear falling down his cheek but with a smile, than he vanished. I sank to my knees and cried, tears couldn't stop falling down my face "Good bye Atem, good bye forever." I whispered.
I looked in the sky and held on to the piece on the puzzle, dried my tears and shouted "Good Bye and thank you!"
