//Yugi To Yami//
1 Farewell To Amity
1.1 Chapter 3
Yugi walked away from the graveyard feeling completely numb. He kept turning back, as if to see if Joey was behind him. He looked until Joey's grave was completely out of his sight. He stood at the entrance of the graveyard for a second, facing the gravestones.
"Yugi? What is it?" Yami asked, trying to see what he was seeing.
"Nothing." Yugi said quietly. Yami shrugged then walked off, trying to get out of the icy rain. Yugi paid no attention to the rain. He slipped his hands in his pockets and began to wonder the cold streets of Domino City. Without even thinking about it, his feet directed him to where he spent most of his time. He stopped and looked up at the building in front of him. Joey Wheeler's house. Suddenly, his mind was flooded with memories of Joey. His head dropped and a few tears fell out of his deep amethyst eyes. The rain fell on his face and slid across his cheeks, hiding his tears. He walked up to the front door. He glanced in the window and saw no one was in the room. He reached in his coat pocket and pulled a set of keys. Yugi remembered how Joey had given Yugi a key awhile back because he was always there. Yugi separated a small, slivery key from the others and placed it in the keyhole under the door handle. The key turned with ease and the door swung open. He gingerly stepped in, looking in every direction.
"Hello? Serenity?" Yugi said loudly, hoping to get no answer. There was silence. Yugi stepped in the house and shut the door behind him. He looked around and began to walk up towards the stairs. He reached the top of the staircase and went and stood in front of Joey's bedroom door. He took a few deep breaths and reached his hand out, grabbing the handle. He turned it slowly. The door opened and he stood staring at Joey's room. Yugi's mind suddenly flooded with even more memories of when he would spend time with his friend. Yugi slowly walked in the room and shut the door behind him, in case someone came home. He walked into the room and looked around. He gasped when he saw a deep red stain on the blue bedspread. Yugi turned his head away. He could not look at that. His eyes filled with tears and a chill ran down his spine as he imagined Joey lying on his bed in his last few moments of life.
Yugi walked towards the desk on the other side of the room. The desk was cluttered with half completed homework and schoolbooks. But Yugi noticed something else. An envelope with 'to who ever finds this' written on it. He picked up the envelope and pealed open the seal.
"To whoever finds this letter,
I am sorry I took my own life, but I really could not take it anymore. No one would listen to me, especially Yugi Motoh. Goodbye all. ~Joey Wheeler"
Yugi gasped as he read the letter.
"Could not take what?" He muttered to himself. He folded the letter and placed it in his pocket. He kneeled down and opened the top desk drawer. He moved some loose papers around and found nothing. He closed the drawer and opened the middle one. He found a black, medium sized spiral bound book with the words "Keep Out!" written in white gel pen on the front.
"I'm sorry, Joey." Yugi whispered as he opened the book. He opened it and looked at the first page. There was a drawing of the Red Eyes Black Dragon with his signature next to it.
"I never knew he could draw." Yugi thought. He turned the page and skim read the page. There was no clue or anything on why Joey destroyed himself. He continued to turn the pages until he came to a page dated about two weeks before his death.
"Dear Journal,
I hate my life and everyone in it. No one even cares I am around. Yugi has only been paying attention to Tèa, Ryou has been suddenly interested in school, Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura wouldn't understand, Tristan has been trying to get in contact with Miho, and Seto Kaiba, well that's just scary. He will call me his dog and that mental picture still gives me the creeps. Well, I am going now. Yugi is going to come over and pretend to listen to me.
~Joey"
Yugi was shocked at what he had read. He didn't realize Joey felt that way, especially about him. Yugi was almost afraid to continue reading, but wanted to know. He turned the page.
"Dear Journal,
I cannot take this life anymore. My life is at the bottom of a deep black void that I cannot be pulled out of. If you ever read this, Yugi, I want you to have my duelling cards. Goodbye my 'friends'
~Joey Wheeler"
Yugi closed the book and hugged it to his chest.
"I'm sorry, my friend." Yugi whispered to the book. Tears fell from his eyes and hit the book gently. He put the book back into drawer. He looked all over the room one last time. He could not stand being in the room anymore. He walked out and shut the door behind him. He walked out of the house and after walking about two minutes, Yugi realised what he read. He dropped to his knees and started sobbing.
"It's my fault. Joey is dead because of me." Yugi said aloud. Someone suddenly shadowed him.
"Did you kill someone?" Said the person who he did not know.
"Leave me alone!" Yugi yelled standing up and running off. He ran until he could not go anymore. He stopped in an alley. He slumped down on a nearby cardboard box. He did not want to go home and face everyone because he felt it was his fault.
"I killed my best friend." Yugi muttered. He began rocking back and forth on the box gently. Suddenly, came Yami's voice in Yugi's head,
/ Aibou? What's wrong? /
// Nothing. //
/ You are lying. Tell me. /
// I can't say. //
/ Where are you? /
// I'm in an alley on a box. Problem? //
/ I am on my way to find you Aibou. Stay there. /
And with that Yami's connection drifted away. Yugi leaned against the wall. A few minutes later, Yami's shadow entered the alley. He ran towards Yugi.
"Yugi? What's wrong?" Yami said, putting his hand on Yugi's shoulders. Yugi was silent and his eyes were glazed over. Yugi's mind was almost comatose and his body was numb and cold to the touch.
"Yugi?!?" Yami yelled, shaking Yugi gently. There was no response from his smaller self.
"Please answer me!" Yami said desperately. And then for one of the first times ever, Yami began to cry. He thought he had lost Yugi. Yami picked up Yugi and begin to go back to their house.
