Epilogue
Author's note : This epilogue is all about the characters' lives after the kidnapping. This is the last part of this story. Nothing fancy, but I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Shortly after the defeat of Yami Bakura and the rescue of Téa and Joey, Yugi did more research on his parents and found out that they truly were murdered by Mikosha Crawford, or Yami Bakura, on July 19, 1987, five months after his birth. He also found out that Maximillion Pegasus and his deceased girlfriend Cecelia were both indeed married and knew his parents and were friends with them. He later found out that Pegasus was not a villain at the time and was against his brother Mikosha on what he had planned and tried to stop him, but did not succeed. Yugi still fancies his friend Téa and succeeded in making her his girlfriend. Despite that, he is still the shy smart kid we know.
Yami Muto turned 18 on June 28, a month and 3 days after the kidnapping incident. He graduated with his friend Seto Kaiba from Domino High School two days after. Yami then became chief executive officer of Seto's company, Kaiba Corporation, and is now studying to be a businessman. He continues to be Yugi's guardian and brother and still helps him when he needs him.
Téa Gardner finally confessed to Yugi how much she loves him again and they started dating. Soon after, they truly became girlfriend and boyfriend. She and her friends continued with their normal lives after the incident and got even more closer. Téa still dreams of being a dancer and studying in New York after she graduates.
Joey Wheeler's divorced parents finally reconciled with each other and remarried. He and his sister Serenity finally then got to see each other again after 6 long years. Joey still continues to be the clown of the group but now takes more precaution on who is around them. In terms of his studies, well, that's another story. He started concentrating harder on his work after failing the first semester of his second year in high school, but he's still the class clown.
Tristan Taylor continues to be Joey's other best friend and goof off with him. He is still a hard working student in school but turns into the "cool" member of their group when they're together. He still thinks he's better than Joey, but gives him more credit for the things he does.
Bakura Ryou finally learned the secret of his Millennium Ring and now can control the evil presence within it, or otherwise Yami Bakura. Yami Bakura turned out to have amnesia after the other battle, so Bakura and the others turned him into a good guy. Bakura is still the nice, quiet, shy guy that we know, but he's made an improvement in his social life. He's made a closer bond between him and his friends and now talks more often.
Seto Kaiba is still a hardworking person. Seto turned 18 a week after the incident and graduated as valedictorian a month and 2 weeks after the kidnapping along with Yami. He still remains president of his family's company and finally appointed Mokuba as vice president, although he is still 11 years old. Along with that, he also gave positions to all of his friends in his company. He and Joey finally reconciled and put aside their differences and became friends. Seto is still studying to be a proper businessman and is still trying to be the perfect gentleman. He finally won the affections of Joey's sister Serenity and are now dating each other.
Seto's younger brother Mokuba is still a kid at heart. Now in 6th grade, he still remains as the annoying little kid everyone knows. He is now presently starting to be trained by his brother for the time when he inherits Kaiba Corp. He still is a good kid, but is now full of mischief. Beware, guys!
Grandpa is still the wise old man that owns the Turtle Game Shop and continues to guide his grandsons and their friends in their adventures. He still helps them when they need it and tries hard to keep them out of trouble, but for him that's impossible.

Yugi kneeled down in front of two gravestones, each with one of his parents' names. He stared at them for a while.
"Mom, Dad, I never knew you because your time with me was cut short. I'm sorry. It was my fault that you both died. Yami Bakura wanted to kill me, not you." he said. A tear fell down his face, which he wiped away quickly.
"That's not true." a voice said. Yugi turned around to find the spirits of his mother and father standing beside him. His mother spoke to him.
"Son, your father and I gave up our lives for you to live. We did it out of love for you. We wanted you to live your life to the fullest, to carry on our dreams and memory. We knew you would never know us but it was a sacrifice we had to make."
"Your mother is right." his father said. Yugi looked at him. "We wanted you to live. We knew Crawford couldn't get his hands on you after we died."
"But it was my fault. I was the reason you both died." he cried. His mother stroked her son's cheek and replied, "Son, don't cry. It wasn't your fault. Our missions were complete. Mikosha couldn't lay a finger on you and he couldn't have me as his wife after he shot me. He didn't realize that he killed the woman he loved. He also couldn't believe that he killed Hiroshi. He was acknowledged as a straight person until then."
"Yes. Yugi," Hiroshi looked at his son. "I can see that your grandfather raised you well to be honest, courageous, truthful, determined, and most of all.loving and caring. You have been taught well, son. I am grateful for that. I can also see you have your mother's sensitivity and personality as well as my looks." he replied. He smiled at his son.
"Dad.Mom." Yugi trailed. He couldn't contain his emotions at moment.
"Shh. Don't cry. Just live your life to the fullest and remember that we will always love you and we will be watching over you." his mother said. She kissed him on the forehead. " 'When destiny calls you, you must be strong." she sang.
His father nodded in agreement. " 'I may not be with you, but you've got to hold on."
" 'They'll see in time.I know. We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart Believe me you'll be in my heart From this day on, now and forevermore You'll be in my heart No matter what they say I'll be with you You'll be here in my heart..always.
Always..I'll be there for you always Always and always Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder I'll be there.always." his parents sang.
Miyako kissed Yugi again gently on his forehead while his father smiled and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Farewell, my son. Remember..." the spirit of his mother said. Yugi nodded to them as they vanished from sight. He wiped away his tears.
"Yugi, don't worry. I will be here for you.always. You can always trust in me." Yugi turned to see Yami standing beside him. Yami put his hand on Yugi's shoulder. Yugi nodded to him and put his hand on top of Yami's hand.
"I'm glad you'll always stick with me no matter what. You know, we're almost like the Kaiba brothers. Nothing can separate us." Yugi commented.
Yami nodded. "Yes, that's true. I will always be here for you."
"Promise?" Yugi asked.
"I promise."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Phew! Glad this is over! This is the sequel to "Falling For You," which I am going to post now. The ending to this one was also mushy, but it was okay. I hope you enjoyed this one. Be sure to be on the look out for the trilogy part of this story. I have writer's block, so it'll be a while. It'll be soon...I promise. Look at me, I'm starting to sound like my characters! : ) Thanks for reading, and remember that if you have any suggestions, questions, or comments, please notify me soon. Keep reading and reviewing!
