An Unknown Card
Chapter Thirteen:
Death Is Final…Or Is It?
By: fairysphinxfairysphinx: Just a warning, this is going to be a short chapter. It's also going to be the last chapter of this fic. I might have a sequel. I guess I'll let you guys decide if there should be. Tell me in your reviews. And now, on with the chapter…er, after the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, although I do own Ktara, Y. Ktara/Yata, and Harbinger.

It had been exactly a year since that day today. The day Yata and Ktara perished from the world of the living. It was a hard loss for everyone. They enjoyed the motherly, yet fun personality of Ktara, and the orderly, always unexpected ways of Yata. Yugi and Yami, Bakura and Yaku, and Malik and Yaro remained separated from each other, for non knew how to undo the spell put on them by Yata. And the poor helicopter driver stayed possessed. Most everyone got over it after about a week. Everyone but Yami and Yugi, that is. Both were still depressed and in the dumps, after a whole year. Sure, Yugi went to school, tended to the shop, took care of his chores, but he was still mourning. Yami tended the shop when needed, for Mr. Motou, or did any errands needed, but when he wasn't needed, he was curled up in a ball, under the couch (well, it's late at night, and I'm always hyper at night, even if I don't have any sugar).
"Really, you two need to stop mourning. It's been a year, and it's time to move on with your lives. That's what they would have wanted." Tea had kept trying and trying this approach, but it never seemed to work. They'd just space out.
"I propose," Joey began, "that we go do something fun!" Everyone agreed. Accept Yami and Yugi.
"How about we go to the amusement park! They have that new ride open!" Even Yami smiled a little, this time. Tristan said it as though he were a two year old.
"I've never been to an amusement park."
"Amusement parks are fun, Yami," the latter said. It was settled. They were going to the amusement park (a/n: it's about two in the morning).
four hours later
They decided to split up. Tea, Tristan, Seto Kaiba (who had been asked along, and also got them discounts), and Joey were in one group, and Bakura, Yaku, Yami, and Yugi in the other. For the time being, we'll be focusing on the latter.
Yaku and Yami had never been to an amusement park, so two red horns sprouted out of Bakura and Yugi's heads, and each grew a pointed red tail (not literally!).(a/n: the only amusement park I know anything about is Kings' Island in Ohio, so this is going to be a Kings' Island) "What should we go on first?" Bakura asked
"How about the XTREME SKYFLYER?" Yugi suggested. Neither yami like the sound of that.
"How many?" Asked a grumpy old lady.
"Four." Bakura handed the lady the money (a/n: this ride requires extra fees), and then got themselves all strapped in.
"I don't want to!" both yamis shouted. But it was too late. They were already up to the stopping place, and, before you could say 'yami', they went into freefall. All the way across the park, Tea, Tristan, Joey, and Kaiba heard the yamis screaming their heads off.
For every ride they went on, it was the same. THE RACER, DROP ZONE, TOP GUN, THE BEAST, THE SON OF BEAST, DROP ZONE, TOMB RAIDER: The Ride, FACE OFF, FLIGHT OF FEAR, AND the VORTEX (yes, I know I stated DROP ZONE twice. That's because they went on it twice). You could hear the screaming half way across the world.
It was about two o'clock when they left the park, wet, tired, and, in some cases, hoarse. The day had been fun. It kept their minds off of the day, or rather, it's meaning. But, unfortunately, it wasn't enough to cure Yami and Yugi of their blues. They were quiet the whole ride home, and then limply said good bye to Tea, Tristan, Joey, Kaiba, Bakura, and Yaku, before walking into the store, and returning to their rooms (Yugi to his room, Yami to his soul room). No matter how much their friends tried, they couldn't cheer them up. Non had been as close to Ktara and Yata as they had. Non would feel as great a loss. Yugi drew the shades on his window, and turned out the lights, before curling up in a ball on his bed, under the covers.
Downstairs, in the shop, Mr. Motou was cleaning the counter, when the bell on the door rang. In walked a girl-who was covered in a blanket-and went up to him.
"Is Yugi at home?" She asked.
"Yes, he is. What do you want?"
"Oh, I'm a friend of his. And I thought I'd come see him, since I was in the neighborhood."
"Alright. He's in his bedroom, and I can't leave the shop. Go up the stairs. It's the last door on your right."
"Thank you." The girl walked up the stairs, and turned right, walking to the end of the hall. Yugi's door was slightly ajar, so she peeked in. A form under the covers suggested that Yugi was in bed. The curtains were drawn, and the lights were out. Silently, she walked into the room, walked over the curtains, and threw them back, as well as the blanket. It was a sunny day, so lots of sun light illuminated the room. Yugi moaned, and removed the covers from his head. He was about to get up to close them, when a sight caught him off guard. A girl was sitting on the foot of his bed. She was dressed in an ankle length purple skirt, a white tank top, a black, leather jacket, black slippers (which she had put on upon entering the house), her brown hair was left to spill over her shoulders, and was looking right at him, with dancing, brown eyes.
/Yami? Yami!/
//What is it, Aibou? Can't you see that I'm trying to sleep?//
/Yami, tell me that I'm hallucinating! This can't be real! That's it! I'm still asleep!/
//No, Yugi, you are not still asleep. You're as awake as you'll ever be.// The girls face fell a little.
"Aren't you happy to see me?"
"This can't be real! I mean, you're dead!" Yugi stood up, and so did the girl. He had grown quite a bit. He was now six feet tall (Yami still exceeded him by one inch, though). She came up to his shoulders.
"I was hoping for more of a reaction from you, seeing how you've been moping around for the past year!" she pouted. Yami, becoming fully awake, nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw before him one of the two people who had died at the hands of a terrible monster.
"What in the world?!" He asked, separating from Yugi. And then the girl separated from her latter, who exceeded her by one inch as well.
"Guys," Ktara and Yata said together. "We're back!!!!!!"
