Wow, now it's really getting emotional. Okay, time to return Yugi to the Underworld. Time for everyone to say goodbye. I'm going to end this with a BANG! I think I already mentioned this before, but NOW is when I actually do make this literal. Review please!

Everyone took their time talking and sharing their heartfelt moments with their loved ones before saying their goodbyes. It was both sad and happy at the same time, which would seem impossible to ever put those two together. They all wiped their tears, while watching their loved ones return to the Underworld where they belong. Hanaski would never forget the little baby twin that could fit in his hands. He would remember to return home and ask his mother for a picture of Aniki Tomoya inside her womb, if there was one.

Lastly, it was time to say goodbye to Yugi. He joined everyone in a group hug as they all cried heartfelt tears, except for Seto, Uka, and Atem, who was trying to stay strong. Marik and Ishizu even got a hug from Yugi as well.

"So, this is it, are you really going to leave us?" Tristan asked with tears in his eyes.

"Yugi... Akiiki... I know you need to go to the other side in order to... move on, but... once you go, you'll never come back! I don't understand that! We've been through so much and..." Tea cried, letting her tears fall into her hands, which were so wet from the last tears she cried. "It's just not fair!"

Yugi wanted to cry as well, wanting to hold Tea in his arms and let her know everything was going to be okay, but that would only be a lie. He didn't know how to tell her that they would meet again, because even if they did, would she find another man to love? Even someone like Tea wouldn't accept something like that, or at least not easily. Tea was a girl with love, desire, and memories she cherished in her heart with being with her man.

"Nothing is fair," Joey said as Tea peeked from her hands. "We just need to accept it and burn these memories in our hearts. Akiiki has done more than that for us, he's changed us for the better and we always need to remember that. Don't follow the 'forget and move on' strategy, that's for cowards that are not willing to take the pain. In order to move on, we need to face that pain and cry bitter tears. I know I learned that the hard way."

"Wise words," Uka said, finally shedding a tear in front of her son for the first time.

"And Yugi..." Joey called out as Yugi rose two eyebrows. "Don't think that just because you're a king changes anything. You'll always be our pale and, if anyone as a problem with that, they can kiss our asses!"

Yugi couldn't help, but chuckle, before replying, "right."

"We won't forget you, Yugi. I'll see you in several years and don't think I'm going to follow any rules and guideline shit, you still hold a record for giving me ass for the past year and a half!"

"I love you, brother."

"Same here."

Yugi nodded, then joined with his father as they both entered through the portal and into the Underworld. Very soon, the portal closed and the Eye of Horus lost its glow. It was finally over. Atem couldn't get his eyes off of the Eye of Horus on the door to the Underworld, knowing that he would never see Yugi until his time to pass on came. This would be very hard, even for Tea.

Suddenly, the earth began to quake and the walls and ceiling began showing cracks, rubble beginning to fall.

"We have to get out of here!" Marik warned everyone as they all ran from the tomb.

"Not again!" Atem cried out in frustration. "What's going on?"

"The tomb was also built to destroy the millennium items, so that no one may ever use them for evil again!" Ishizu explained while everyone was still running for their lives.

"Nobody explains anything to me anymore."

Everyone ran through the maze inside the tomb to reach the other side. Rocks and rubble were still heard falling in the background. Joey had to lead Uka through the maze, since he was the closest one to her. Marik was slightly farther ahead and was seen making a daredevil jump from one walkway of the maze to the other side, barely reaching the other side of the gap and pulling himself up right on time before being hit by several rocks. Atem was slightly behind Marik, then heard a scream from behind.

Hanaski was only a few feet in behind Atem and witnessed Tea being hit by several rocks before falling into the gap of the maze. He screamed in shock before being dragged and picked up by Atem to be carried off to the other side of the maze and out of the tomb. The rest of the gang barely made it out of the tomb, a good number of them with injuries.

Hanaski burst into tears for Tea's loss in the tomb as everyone stared into shock of what they just witnessed. Tea had just died. No more tears could be shed now, except in Hanaski's eyes.

Everyone had returned home and the Ishtars made a search for Tea's body. The search team finally retrieved it, but it was cold and there was no impulse. Tea had been officially declared dead, and then brought back to Japan. It was stated that an earthquake hit Egypt and the tomb began crumbling while Tea and her friends were being guided inside. The Ishtars retrieved everyone else on time, but Tea never made it out. The only thing they could give her was their respects.

Atem used the rest of his week off to not show up for work. The rest of his friends didn't even bother attending school. Hanaski took the news harder than the rest of his friends. Atem did visit him once in a while, but, with both of them being in pain, the visitation never helped much with the situation. Atem now didn't just lose Yugi, but Tea as well. Perhaps joining with Yugi in the Underworld was for the best in Tea's case. Atem also had a better excuse for Tea's father to be hanging around with Serenity all of a sudden without growing any suspicion. He could now assume Atem is dating Serenity to make the pain go away or some mumbo jumbo like that.

As for the funeral, it was no surprise that Tea's father was the one in charge of the arrangements. He didn't completely follow the Buddhist tradition of funerals, since he wasn't a true Buddhist. He dressed Tea in a white dress instead of a white kimono, which nobody questioned. Atem helped and appeared at the Wake and funeral. He dressed in his black suit and tie he normally wore for Kaiba Corp.

Both ceremonies were long and sad. Atem held strong before the time of the cremation. He had been in a funeral before, but it was when he was really REALLY young. Tea's deceased name was declared and it was finally time to put out flowers. Atem stood in line with his friends to put out flowers in Tea's casket. He put his bokay of flowers in the casket, which mostly consisted of different colors, since there was not one that could express Atem's feelings at this point.

Atem felt someone hold his hand gently and saw it was Olivia's. Olivia held a sadden face. Atem gently embraced Olivia, letting a few tears finally show, but not to the public's eye. The casket was nailed down before a soft music played inside the casket. When Atem helped Tea's father place certain items in Tea's casket that Tea was fond of, one of them included a small MP3 player with ear buds and one downloaded song, the volume high enough to be heard softly. Atem had pressed play as soon as he put the flowers inside the casket, knowing that there was a five minute pause before the actual song played. The song was so soft that only those close to the casket could hear the song.

When the cremation began, the song eventually could be heard by almost everyone and they knew that song, it played in the movie All Dogs go to Heaven during the end credits: Love Survives. It would take about thirty minutes before the song finally died in the fire. Atem closed his eyes, then heard a voice, "thank you." He looked behind and, for one second, he swore he saw Tea in a dress that the queens wore in Ancient Egypt with Yugi next to her, holding her hand. Yugi had returned to the Underworld where he belonged and took Tea with him. Soon later, Atem knew he'd be joining Yugi as well.

"It's time to pick the bones," Olivia whispered in Atem's ear as Atem nodded, then got out his chop sticks.

Yep, that's the end. I'm sorry this had to end on a sad note, but this is my first attempt to creating a sad ending to a story and I'm actually at my dramatic week of the month. I'm surprised I didn't cry while doing these last few chapters, then again, I'm at my most dramatic week of the month and during those times, it doesn't seem dramatic to me lol. I actually did plan on this being a sad ending originally, since Yu-Gi-Oh was supposed to end on a sad not, in a sense. I wanted to do the same, but kinda put my own version of it. I'm not going to bring Yugi back from the dead, he's not coming back in my new sequel. Speaking of which, here is the preview for At-Em-Oh Inherited Memories, based on the game Duelist of the Roses. Most of you probably can't find it, unless you're lucky (I've tried to find it on Game Stop, so believe me when I say it's freakin' hard to find). I did happen to find a Let's Play for Duelist of the Roses played by Scope, which I highly suggest you check out.

Atem is about to enter his last year of High School. It has been almost a year, since Yugi crossovered to the Underworld. One day, he suddenly finds himself in England around the end of the 1400's in the middle of the War of the Roses, sent by a mysterious man named Simon, who works for a Henry Tudor, asking for his help. Out of anger, Atem joins with Christian Rosenkreuz on a quest to return home. On the way, he meets surprising faces that relate to his friends back home. To return home, Atem must retrieve eight rose seals from Henry Tudor and his men. If not, Atem will forever be stuck in history, his worst and most hated subject.
