The moving van was driving away. It drove past the Game Shop, but neither Joey nor Yami saw each other.
~This . . . only grants one wish, as we saw with Bakura. You may have it, Yugi, but be very careful.~
No, you can have it.
~Huh?~
When I first got the Millennium Puzzle, I wished on it to have a true friend. And I got double what I asked for. I got Joey - and you.
~Yugi . . .~
Go ahead. It's yours. You can wish for your memories back.
~My memories?~
Please, Yami. You deserve it. Wait! I will wish for your memories FOR you. I remember that my mom said that you shouldn't make selfish wishes.
~Could that be why it was so dangerous to Mokuba and Bakura but not Kaiba?~
Let me out, and I'll do this for you.
But Yugi couldn't come out.
~I can't let you.~
* * *
Mai was stiff in the hospital waiting room. One of the doctors had just told her the Bakura was dead. She couldn't even muster the strength to call somebody and tell them the news.
* * *
Tristan, who finally felt well, went over the Joey's house.
"What?!" he yelled, as he saw a "For Sale" sign in front of the house. He went inside. The door had been left open. The house was empty. "Maybe I have the wrong house." But of course, he had the right house. "Noooooo!" He fell to his knees.
* * *
"Are you okay, Mokuba?" Kaiba asked.
"Yes, Big Brother," Mokuba answered. "But what about the company?"
"The company is still mine," Kaiba reassured. "But with this prestige, it might not be for long. Yugi was right. That totem is dangerous."
* * *
Téa was sitting on her doorstep again. She was drawing pictures in the dirt again with a stick. What she had been drawing were a bunch of Yamis.
"He's right," she said to herself. "But my heart will always be with him." She began to cry quietly.
* * *
Grampa and Yugi's mother were getting worried about Yugi.
"Where could he be?" his mom asked.
"I don't know," Grampa said. "Two of his friends came looking for him."
"If his friends don't even know where is he is . . . he could be in trouble!" Yugi's mom cried.
* * *
Joey took one last look at Domino City. His parents were arguing in the front seats. He sighed.
"It'll be okay," Serenity kept saying, though even she wasn't too sure that it would be.
* * *
~Nothing is right.~
Yugi agreed. I may not be able to sense things like you can, but for some reason, I have that same feeling.
~I can't let you have this wish.~
That's the spirit! Now go on, and find out about your past.
~My past . . .~
Go on, just be careful.
Yami picked up the hollow, wooden totem with the three monster heads carved on it. Slowly, he turned it upside-down. He closed his eyes, trembling a little.
This is it . . . your memories.
"I wish that the previous harm done by this totem was reversed," Yami said three times.
What?!
* * *
Téa, Tristan, Mai, Joey, Kaiba, Mokuba, Grampa, Yugi's mom, and Bakura were all suddenly in bed. They all woke up then.
"What a strange dream," Grampa said.
* * *
Téa was confused. The dream had felt so real, as were the feelings that came with it.
* * *
Kaiba and Mokuba woke up to continue with their days as normal.
* * *
"I will never trust my fate to a lottery," Mai said, getting up from her bed. "And for some reason, even though I don't know him, I won't trust Kaiba, either."
* * *
Bakura clutched his Millennium Ring. "Could it be that this spirit not only controls me, but protects me?" he wondered
* * *
Joey looked over on his dresser and saw the picture of his family as a whole. "It may not be the best, but things as they are now are pretty good. Mom and Dad separated for a good reason, and I must live with it."
* * *
Tristan turned on the TV. "I think it's best to be on the watching end," he said to himself.
* * *
You did the right thing, even without my judgement. You have come a long way, Yami.
Yami found a half-used pack of matches on the ground. ~You have, too, Yugi. Thanks for helping me out.~
Yugi and Yami were the only ones who knew about the totem now. They had to keep the powers of the totem contained.
Yami lit a match, and set the totem aflame. He and Yugi, along with everyone else, knew that this is how things were meant to be.
~To deal with unfavorable circumstances, to go through life honorably, to accept my past, present, and future, IS my heart's desire. I got exactly what I wanted.~ Yami told Yugi, vowing to be his friend for life.
The totem was now ashes.
