This is it, thank you to everyone who supported this story, it means a lot to me. I did my best with this, so hopefully it doesn't suck.

I hope you it, and review if you want to. I would like to see how you thought the ending was. =)

Strange how events of the past could reoccur again in someone's life. What made them even stranger is that it would be the one event that you would never expect. Yugi was thinking this as he was just dropped off by a white taxi in front of a partly burned down mansion. A mansion he had not laid eyes on for three years. Now it was uninhabited at the moment due to it being spring. By the time Seth returned in the winter, it was said to be completely restored. Why though, in the three years had it not been repaired? That question would never be answered.

A more important question was why Yugi had come back here after many years? Why had he come back to the place where his heart had been so broken by love, jealousy, and death? Yugi was wondering the same thing. Only a few short months ago did he start having dreams, nightmares of this place. He would dream he was here again, wandering the halls hearing a voice call him softly. Almost as quiet as a whisper. The voice only called his name, and often when he woke up he was breathing heavily and sweating.

Then only a day ago he had received a bouquet of red roses, strangely there was a white rose in the middle of the buddle of red. A note had been attached to the roses, it had said. "Return to France, return to the mansion of your past." Yugi hadn't known what it meant but he felt he might get answers for his dreams if he came back. He had no idea who had sent them but hopefully here he would find out.

After leaving France all those years ago, him and Yami had split up, Yugi had found out that he had been right about Yami. He had only wanted him around when Seth wasn't. Now Yami has recovered, living in Egypt with Seth. Who Yugi had discovered was Kaiba's brother. So Yugi had gone back to his own life, he'd found a nice apartment back in Japan, living his life as he had been before any of this happened. Though once he received the roses on his doorstep at possibly midnight, Yugi had come here. Still not sure if he should have or not. Often trusting a mysterious note was not a good idea.

So now here he stood. In front of the doors of the mansion. The memories inside of this place almost made him want to cry. He had lost a great love inside the very walls of the mansion, even years later it still made his heart throb in pain. This reminded him of his nights alone In his apartment, how many times he had cried from the loneliness, the want to be with his still true love.

When the doors of the mansion all of a sudden burst open, Yugi stepped back from the surprise. He then heard it, that voice, calling his name. So softly that it was barely heard. Yugi was uncertain about this but he knew he needed to figure out what was going on. Yugi stepped up the steps then walked into the dark mansion. Seeing it now was so strange since the last time it had been so filed with light. Now it was dark, the smell of scorched wood was still lingering inside.

That day, of the fire when a tragic death of a phantom took place, Yugi learned that in the ballroom the chandelier had fallen and also started a great fire. Luckily no one had been killed but many were injured. Yugi still didn't know how the phantom had rigged the fireworks to blow up or the chandelier to fall but he was still a mystery to this very day.

"Walk up the stairs…"

Yugi listened and slowly walked up the stairs, trying to avoid stepping on pieces of burned wood on the steps. When he was at the top of the stairs he was so shocked to see that the only light was from the windows. Not seeing the candles lit everywhere was still strange. After all the last time he had been here everything was lit up and looked so untouchable. He wondered how long it would take them to repair this place.

"Go right..."

Yugi turned and went to the right just like the whisper had said. Yugi didn't know how he was hearing this voice but his only idea was that it was his self conscious. That he was just hearing this inside his head because this place could not be habited. There was no way. Even walking in here was a danger to how likely it was for something to break and him to fall through the floor or the ceiling to come tumbling down on him. Yugi walked for a few long moments. He walked past the room he had stayed in but didn't stop to go inside. He didn't want to remember the events that happened inside of there.

When he reached a doorway when an open door he heard the voice.

"Stop. Walk inside…"

Yugi did as the voice commanded. He stopped and walked inside the room. He gazed all around it, when he had stayed here so many years ago he had never walked into this room. There wasn't a piece of furniture to be found the only thing that captured his attention was the door on the other side of the room that led out to a small balcony. He approached it but didn't walk outside, he only looked over what he could see which was the backyard of the mansion, it was still beautiful despite the mansions appearance. Many of the flowers were in bloom and the large fountain made everything else so much more attractive.

When suddenly hearing the door slam, Yugi turned to see nothing. A chill crawling up his spine, his eyes then down casted to the floor, seeing a rose at his feet. He almost picked it up if it didn't start oozing some kind of dark red liquid that looked like blood. Yugi, revolted, backed away. When he looked up again a scream forced its way out of his throat now seeing a dark figure before him. Their hand outstretched towards him, the cuts on their pale hand blood dripped.

"I've been waiting for you… waiting for you to die with me…"

Yugi backed up. Fear taking over his whole body. What were they talking about?

"I died with your rose, now wont you die with me? Don't you want to be with me forever?"

Yugi stared at them, cowering away and wishing he had never come back here. "Who are you…?"

The shadow moved in front of Yugi, so quickly that Yugi didn't even see a step be taken. With a finger they traced over Yugi's cheek, ridding the tears that had began running down his cheeks. "I am who has made you cry for so many years…"

Yugi wanted to back away but he couldn't. He was trapped in their caress. The words they spoke he couldn't believe. "No your not… he's dead, and he has been… how could you try and impersonate someone I loved?"

His hand cringed before suddenly bringing it back to pull back the hood over his head in a swift motion. "Am I not who you love anymore? Have you forgotten me?" His voice was so harsh that Yugi only cried more.

Yugi stared at his face, blood was almost the only thing he saw behind his blue eyes. This had to be a nightmare, it couldn't be real, this couldn't be happening. He was dead.

"I said I would love you forever, and I told you I once ran free, within the walls and mirrors, but would die in a red rose, your… red rose… the rose I gave to you so many years ago."

Realization slowly came to Yugi, it was him, only he would know those things. Yugi gave him a pain filled expression. "I want to be with you forever…" he didn't understand how this was possible, but he didn't think he could question it. If he did, he'd never receive an answer.

The phantom reached into his coat to bring out a knife. He looked it over before holding it to Yugi, letting it skim underneath his chin. "There is only one way, love…. only one way you can be with me forever. But the price is high, you must give up everything. Will you give up your life for me?"

Yugi stared at him, his life was nothing but sorrow and tears without his phantom. Yugi pushed the knife away from his chin so that he could wrap his arms around him. "I will give up everything to be with you." he was tired of the loneliness He wanted to be with him forever. Yugi began crying into him. "I don't want to be alone anymore, I miss you!" there had never been anyone who understood him like he had. He would never find anyone else, he wanted all of the tears and lonely nights to end. They were making him crazy.

He placed a hand on the back of Yugi's head and gripped his hair firmly. "Soon… love, you will never be alone. I will always be there with you." he forced Yugi to look up at him. He gazed at Yugi a long moment before kissing him.

A kiss that literally took his breath away.
