Hello fans to the last chapter of Wishbone Wishing. I am so happy for those of you who continued to read it through. Sorry if Shark and Rio's chapter was a little rough...i'm not very good at writing them yet...and my Astral still needs some work. So sorry if Astral kinda sucks this chapter.

Anyways, let's get on with the final chapter.

"I'm so hungry. Can we please eat now?"

"Yuma, just relax. You waited three hundred and sixty four days for this. You can wait another five minutes."

"Oh I can't. It just smells so good Kari. Just let me have a bite of something."

"No Yuma, just go sit down and wait until everything is ready."

"Ugh fine."

Yuma stomped away from the kitchen; he held his stomach as he did. He was so hungry. He hadn't eaten since breakfast. He just wanted food. He needed it now. But his sister wasn't having it. He huffed as he took his seat at the dining room table. He always sat at the seat closest to the wall but not on the end, but the seat to right. He doesn't know why he sits there, it may just be instinct.

"Yuma, why are you so anxious to stuff your face today? Are you dying?"

Yuma raised an eyebrow. "One: I'm not even going to ask. Two: I'm dying of hunger and I need food. So yes, I'm anxious to eat."

Astral looked over his shoulder as he watched Kari fret about where she was going to stick everything. This got Astral a bit confused. "Why are you making so much food anyways? You usually have lots of food because you eat like an animal, but this is the most I have seen yet."

Yuma rolled his eyes. "It's called Thanksgiving Astral. We make a lot of food, sit a table and give thanks for what we have."

"Thanksgiving, it sounds interesting. What else do you do beside eat and give thanks?"

"Not much else really, we really just spend time as a family I suppose."

"That sounds nice."

Yuma smiled and grasped the golden key around his neck. "I just hope that when I find my dad, we really feel like a family again."

"Do you not consider your family, family Yuma?"

Yuma blinked before shaking his head in disagreement. "No it's not like that. I just…I really miss my dad, so sometimes big things like these just never feel complete without him here."

Astral closed his eyes and smiled. "I see. That is reasonable."

After dinner was finally placed on the table, the Tsukumo's sat around the table, their plates full of food, ready to give thanks. Astral floated above Yuma, an amused and curious look on his face as he watched.

"Alright, before we dig in, I want all of us to say at least one thing we're thankful for. Can you both handle that?"

Yuma ran a thumb over his lips and grinned. "You can count on me Grandma. I can handle it."

"If Yuma can handle it, then I can surely handle it too Grandma."

Haru smiled gratefully at her grandchildren.

"I'll go first I guess." Yuma scratched his cheek in embarrassment. He didn't realize that saying what you thankful for was hard. "Well I guess I'm thankful for my friends, my family, dueling, everything really." He looked down at his key. "I'm grateful that I have the golden key, it makes me feel closer to dad." Yuma clutched it tightly. He looked over his shoulder. "I'm thankful I also met you Astral, I guess."

Kari blinked before raising an eyebrow. "Who are you talking to Yuma?"

"No one, just ignore that."

Haru grabbed her grandson's hand and squeezed it tight. "That was wonderful Yuma."

Yuma blushed. "Thanks Grandma."

Kari sighed. "Well I guess I'm thankful for my career as a journalist, i'm thankful for my family and I'm thankful that you, little brother, aren't getting hurt from dueling like I always fear you will."

"Thanks Kari, that means so much to me that you have so much faith in me." Yuma said sarcastically.

"Watch your tone."

"Alright, enough you two," Haru warned. "Let's just start eating alright. I don't think Yuma can wait much longer."

Yuma nodded, sticking a rice ball in his mouth. "Delicious." He mumbled, chewing on his food.

"Yuma, don't talk with your mouth full."

"Sorry."

After the family ate dinner they continued to sit at the table, talking and just being random. Yuma looked around the table, they had eaten a large portion of the food, he was impressed, and he and his sister ended up having some sort of eating contest along the way. Yuma won of course. When Yuma saw the wishbone sticking out of the turkey, he grinned, grabbing it and yanking it off.

"Yuma, you're too old for something that stupid."

Yuma gave her a look. "What? I find the wishbone wish to be highly affective. Last time I did it with dad; I wished to go on an adventure with him. And I did."

"That's just a pure coincidence."

"No, it's called magic."

Kari grabbed one end of the bone and starts to try and yank it out of Yuma's grip. "Yuma, quit being such a naïve child and hand it over."

"Eh, no way, the wish is mine."

"Yuma." Kari growled and pulled harder. "Let go."

Haru sighed and stood up from the table."It was nice while it lasted."

"It's…mine." Yuma shouted.

Snap.

Yuma fell out of his chair and onto his back. He groaned and looked at his hand. His piece of bone…was short. His eyes widened as he looked up at Kari.

She held the long piece.

"Hey, no fair," Yuma stood up pointed an accused finger at his sister. "That's not fair. I wanted the big piece. What do you need the wish for?"

Kari stood up from her chair and placed her end of the bone down on the counter. "I don't want the wish; I just don't see why you want it."

Yuma pouted. "Well all I wanted to do was make a wish. But since I can't wish for dad's safe return I guess its worthless then."

Silence! Kari felt her eyes widening as far as they could go. She felt horrible. She should have known that Yuma's wish would have had something to do with their father. She frowned and walked over to her brother. She grabbed his hand and placed the bone in his palm and closed his hand.

"Sorry Yuma, I didn't think your wish was that serious."

Yuma looked down at the bone before clenching it in his fist before giving it back to Kari. "It's alright. I don't really need the wishbone to wish that I guess."

He stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked away. Astral floated alongside him. Kari just stood there, awestruck at how her brother's sudden change of attitude from childish, to angry, to neutral.

She shook her head. "Oh Yuma, you never seize to amaze me."

Yuma sat in his hammock, he scrolled through his contacts. Astral stood beside him. He crossed his arms over his chest. "Yuma, are you sure you should be calling someone at this hour?"

"Probably not, but I have to talk to Shark. He will never believe that what happened!"

"I bet he would Yuma."

Yuma ignored the Astral Being as he found the contact number and he pressed it, he just had to wait for him to answer.

Astral sat on the floor in front of the television. Yuma always leaves it on because he knows that Astral loves to watch re-runs of The Sparrow. As he was watching his TV, Yuma finally got an answer from his Duel Gazer.

"Hey Shark, you'll never guess what happened?"

"Why the hell are you calling me now?"

"Just guess?"

Shark sighed. "What?"

"Kari ended up with the bigger half of the wishbone. I really wanted that piece. You know…to make wish."

"That's not my problem Yuma."

"But Shark, you don't understand. I had a really good wish for it too."

"It's just a damn wishbone. Get over it."

"But you should have seen what happened Shark. It was so unfair."

"Hey Yuma!"

Yuma blinked. "Was that Rio?"

"I have to go. I'll talk to you…sometime in the future."

"Shark wait-!" Yuma cried but all he got was the dial tone. He huffed before placing his duel gazer on the trunk that held the picture of his parents. "I can't believe he hung up."

"I would have hung up too Yuma if you were complaining to me about something completely stupid."

"Shut up. I had a great story."

Astral shook his head. "If you say so Yuma."

Yuma pouted before lying down in his hammock. He was exhausted all of a sudden. It must have been from eating so much turkey. "G'night Astral."

"Good night Yuma."

Yuma's dreams that night were filled with his father, as if he his father heard his wish and was hoping for a safe return as well. And the picture at Yuma's bedside seemed to glow just a bit brighter.

And that's the end of the Wishbone Wishing. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Review, Follow me, Favorite, whatever you wish. And i'll see you in my Zexal fics in the future.
