Author's Note - Wah! The last chapter in the story! Oh well, there's still more coming up. Check out my profile later and see if anything new is up. The prologue story is only one chapter, but don't let just one chapter fool you. It has a lot of good scenes and, to tell you the truth, that was my first story, not this one. I mixed the stuff up and I had to post this one first. Oh well.

Last disclaimer for this story : I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh.

Anyway, read on to find out what happens now.

Chapter 8 - Uncovered Secrets

It was the next day and Yugi was finished doing all his work. He was reading a novel for his English class when he and Yami were called by their grandfather to the living room.

"Sit down, boys. We have to finish our talk. Yugi, do you have anything else you want to know?" Grandpa asked.

"I have something to tell you. I saw a vision last night about the real way Mom and Dad died. They were both murdered by Yami Bakura, shot to death. I know it's true because I saw it. But that note that you say was from Mom, is that another cover up?"

"No. It is real. She tried committing suicide once after she knew you, your father, and her were in danger. Your dad and I caught her trying and convinced her to live on for your sake. But that tragic day did come and she knew it was coming. She too had a vision, but back then your father and I were both too stubborn to listen to her and it happened. That's why I don't take anymore chances. I fear of losing you. You are the only blood relative I have left, except for you, Yami, but you are my ancestor." Grandpa replied.

"Oh. Okay. That's all I have in mind." Yugi said. He ran through his dream once more in his mind. He saw his mother get murdered.he saw Seto and his grandpa.he saw the Millennium Puzzle before it was solved by him.he finally knew what he wanted to know.the truth about his parents. He started to get up to go back to his room when another vision flashed into his mind and made him collapse again into Yami's arms.

"Yugi, what happened to you?" Grandpa asked.

"Hmm. This is about the fourth time this happened. Sugoroku, you have nothing to worry about. This means he's having another vision from the past. It's best if we just take him to his room, let him have some rest, and wait for him to wake up. I'm sure that despite whatever he saw he'll have some questions for you." Yami said. Grandpa nodded to him and he and Yami proceeded out the door to Yugi's room, the unconscious Yugi in Yami's arms. When they got there, Yami placed Yugi in his bed and he and Sugoroku paced around the room, waiting for Yugi to awake.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay, this is another vision from the past. Now where am I? It seems like a hospital.Domino General Hospital perhaps." he said, noticing the doctors and nurses rushing around. He walked around for awhile, until the room with the number 305 caught his eye. 'I don't know why I feel a strong presence inside there, but my instincts are telling me to go in.' he thought. When Yugi looked at the door again, he saw the calendar hanging next to it. It read "Thursday, February 19, 1987." Yugi then thought, 'That's my birthday. Hmm. Could this be the day I was born? Oh well. Only one way to find out.' He opened the door and saw his mother lying in the hospital bed while his father sat in a chair feeding a baby boy. 'Okay, I don't have to ask myself any questions anymore. I know that is me.' he thought, looking at the baby.

"Oh, Miyako, he's the cutest baby I've ever saw." his father exclaimed. His mother nodded.

"Yes, but he looks like you. And that can't be a good thing." she teased. Hiroshi got up and walked over to his wife. "You hear that, Yugi? Your mother is upset because she thinks you're going to be just like me, not her." he cooed into the blanket. Baby Yugi's reply to his father's comment was a whimper and he started to cry. Hiroshi then put his son on his shoulder and rubbed his back while Miyako laughed at her husband.

"What's so funny, dearest?" he asked.

"Well, I guess Yugi disagrees." she laughed. "Here, let me show you how it's done." Hiroshi gave Yugi to Miyako and added, "So now you think you're better than me?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I am. After all, I am his mother." she replied. She cradled him in her arms and let him grasp her finger. She gently calmed him down while her husband stood there looking on in amusement. She smiled at her son and then turned to Hiroshi and laughed again at his expression.

"Well, I guess he favors you over me.." he said.

"Yes, I guess so." she said. There was a knock on the door and Maximillion Pegasus and his new wife Cecelia came in with flowers. Hiroshi stood up and shook Pegasus' hand.

"Hiroshi, congratulations! Shall we have a cigar?" Pegasus teased.

"No, not now. But if you have champagne.." he trailed.

"One step ahead of you boys." Cecelia said and held up the bottle and four glasses. "Miyako, Hiroshi, congratulations! I'm so happy for you two! What's his name?" she asked.

'Oh, boy. It's Pegasus and his wife. This will be good.' the older Yugi thought.

"Yugi Muto. Didn't think of a middle name, but who cares? It doesn't matter to us." Hiroshi said. He and Pegasus were popping the cork off the champagne bottle and pouring each other a glass. "Champagne?" he asked Cecelia and his wife. They both nodded and said, "Just a little." The guys handed their wives their glasses and toasted to the birth. When Hiroshi and Pegasus finished their glasses, they poured some more and started to talk more.

"So, Max, any news on that psycho brother of yours?" Hiroshi asked.

"Hiroshi, I haven't seen him in a while. But you and Miyako have to be on the lookout. I know he's planning something bad for you two. Now that your son is here, he might be the first one he'll be after. He really wants revenge. If I can do anything to help, I'll do it." Pegasus said. He took a long drink.

"Please, Max, don't spoil this day for me. I just went through almost 17 hours of wrist pain because someone held me too tight while she was in labor.." he teased.

"Well, excuse me, Mr. I-Think-I'm-So-Good. Why don't you try giving birth to your son after a rough pregnancy? Then we'll see who's going to complain." Miyako countered.

"Wow, I don't think I can picture myself doing that!" Hiroshi thought out loud. Everyone laughed at picturing that happen. To break all the happiness, someone unexpected barged in. A young man with white hair tied in a pony-tail wearing a black suit entered and stepped lightly to where Miyako lay.

"Mikosha!" Pegasus got up and pointed his finger at his brother. "What do you want?"

Crawford shrugged. "I just wanted to congratulate my lovely future wife and her present husband on the birth of their son because this is the only happy time they'll have together."

"GET OUT!!" Pegasus shouted. Baby Yugi started to cry loudly. Miyako tried to calm her son down, but did not succeed. He kept crying harder and harder as if he knew that something bad was going to happen.

"Tut, tut. Pegasus James Crawford, I'm very ashamed of you. You pick your friends over your family, your own blood. What a disgrace! Wait until Mother and Father hear about this!" Crawford said.

"My name is no longer Pegasus Crawford. It's Maximillion Pegasus now. And I warn you.brother.that if you lay a finger on my friends, you will be very sorry indeed. And I don't ever want to hear from Mother and Father again. They had chosen a bride for me and didn't let me take the one I loved as my wife." he said, grasping Cecelia's hand.

"Oh, you only say your friends, so why not.." Crawford trailed.

"GET OUT! YOU WILL NOT LAY A FINGER ON MY WIFE OR SON OR ANY OF MY FRIENDS, CRAWFORD! GET OUT!" Hiroshi screamed. Before he left, Crawford took a quick glance at Miyako and mumbled, "Soon, my sweet, we will be together. I vow to take you as my wife."

"I'd die before that happens." she whispered menacingly. She finally was able to calm down Yugi.

"Oh, really? We'll see about that." he said and stalked out of the room.

Hiroshi walked over to his wife and son and embraced them. "Don't worry, I won't let him get to both of you." He kissed his wife and stroked his son's head. He picked his son up again and gently cradled him in his arms. Yugi yawned and silently fell asleep in his father's arms. Hiroshi looked up at his wife and smiled at her, who smiled back. Pegasus had his arm around Cecelia and were both smiling at each other when Cecelia turned to face her husband.

"Dear, now is the perfect time to tell you." she said, fixing his shirt collar and straightening his tie.

"What, may I ask, do you have to tell me, love?" he asked.

"Well.on our honeymoon, when we." she started, but Pegasus knew already.

"Shhh." he said, putting his finger on her lips. "I know. I found the test on the bathroom floor. I guessed you missed throwing it out. I'm so happy, Cecelia." He pulled back his wife's blonde locks and placed them behind her ear and kissed her tenderly on her lips. The kiss lasted for a couple seconds until someone interrupted them.

"Ahem." Hiroshi said, tapping his foot. Cecelia and Pegasus broke away from each other and told Hiroshi and Miyako the good news.

"This is terrific! We must have more champagne!" Hiroshi exclaimed. He poured everyone another glass and said, "A toast, to the birth of my son, Yugi Muto, and to my friends, Maximillion and Cecelia Pegasus, on expecting their first child." Everyone held up their glasses and toasted each other and drank the rest of their champagne.

(New Vision)

"Okay, that was weird. Now what am I doing here? Wherever I am..' Yugi thought. He was in another familiar place, this time it was the Kaiba Corp. office. He walked towards an office labeled "Miyako and Hiroshi Muto, Financial Department" and opened the door, where he saw his mother sitting on the couch on the left, holding her son in her lap. The younger Yugi was playing with his mother's blue turquoise necklace. He saw his father with his reading glasses on while writing something at his desk. Yugi then glanced at the calendar on the message board and saw it read "Thursday, June 25, 1987."

'This must be before my parents were killed and after Yami Bakura tried to kidnap me. Here, I'm still four months old.' Yugi thought.

"Hiroshi, I can't stand it anymore." Miyako said, picking her son up and walking towards her desk. She brushed off some lint off of her black skirt and jacket. She was dressed professionally and as she walked over to her desk, she walked gracefully. She sat in the leather office chair and shifted her son to her other shoulder. Little Yugi just stared at the window, which the real Yugi was leaning on. It seemed like the younger Yugi was staring right at his older self.

"Stand what, dear?" Hiroshi asked, not looking up from his work. He was now typing on his printing calculator.

"Stand Mikosha Crawford stalking us. He really wants to get to us." she said, smoothing her son's hair. She then leaned back, placing Yugi in her arms and giving him a bottle. "I just can't take it. He keeps getting closer and closer. What if he gets close enough? What will happen then?" she asked. She then looked at her husband and saw he wasn't paying attention to her and screamed, "HIROSHI MUTO, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME??"

Hiroshi's head went up and he started to stare at his wife. He took his glasses off, threw them on his desk, and put his ink pen into its holder. He then walked over to her and sat in one of the chairs in front of her desk. He too was dressed professionally, wearing a black suit and red tie. "Miyako, how many times do I have to tell you that nothing is going to happen?" he said.

"I'm only being cautious." she said, putting the bottle she was holding on her desk. She then placed a cloth over her shoulder and shifted her son there. He was about to cry when she started to rub his back gently. "Shhh. Don't cry, Mommy is here." she whispered softly to him. He gave a small hiccup to her comment and stopped crying. She then put a pacifier in his mouth to keep him distracted.

"Oh, all right. But it's becoming too much, Miyako. You won't have to worry. I'll be here." he said, kissing his wife on her forehead. He smiled at his son and then went back to his desk to start working again.

"I hope you're right." she sighed. The real Yugi walked behind his mother's desk, invisible. He looked at his younger self. He was sleeping soundly in her arms, still sucking on the pacifier. He thought, 'Wow. I never thought of this. I look so cute.' He stared at his younger self for a few more seconds. 'I can't believe my parents gave their lives up for me. Then again, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here right now.' he said to himself. Him, his parents' pride and joy. They were willing to give their lives for him..

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Yugi slowly opened his eyes and saw Yami pacing around his room in circles while his grandfather buried his face in his hands. "Yami? Grandpa?" he asked slowly. They both heard him and rushed over to him.

"Yugi, what was the matter with you? What did you see?" Yami asked frantically.

"I saw things from the past.my past.." he said. "I saw Pegasus and his wife Cecelia. It was on the day I was born. They came to visit my mother and father to congratulate them but Pegasus' brother Mikosha Crawford came in and threatened them again. That was only my first vision."

"What was the second one?" Grandpa persuaded.

"The second one took place on June 25, 1987, about four months after I was born. My parents were the head of the financial department of Kaiba Corporation and they were talking about Mikosha Crawford. Mom was worried about what would happen to us if he got really close to us and Dad tried to assure her that Crawford wouldn't get his hands on us. The weird part was when I was behind my mother's desk while she was holding me on her shoulder was that my younger self seemed like he was looking at me. I was leaning on the window and he was staring right at me even though I was invisible." Yugi finished his story.

Grandpa sat there, his hand under his chin. "Ahh. I see." he trailed.

"This truly means that you have found your hidden powers vested in you because of the Millennium Puzzle. Not only that, but you also found the truth about your parents." Yami said. He put his hand on Yugi's shoulder. "I am proud of you." he said with a smile.

Grandpa nodded and gave his grandson a hug. "You truly are the Yugi Muto that your parents wanted you to be. I too am proud of you and I'm sure that they are, too."

Yugi nodded to him and sighed deeply. He finally found his true identity.
