Difinity: Oh boy the ending is here!!

Summary: Liete had explained the only way to save Trinity's soul was to have her Crest destroyed. Yami didn't agree with her and knew that no matter what, he couldn't end Trinity's life like that. It wouldn't be fair, and it wouldn't be right. He had no choice in the matter, though. Liete opened the gate leading out the Shadow Realm, and into the normal world. Yami, with the Crest still in his hand, had only seconds to decide whether or not to destroy the Crest. Trinity begged him to destroy it, but he continued to refuse. The gate began to close, and with a loud cry, Trinity made Yami destroy it. He grabbed her hand and threw himself and her out the gate, the others had already passed through. However, they didn't arrive back home, instead they were in The Realm Between Worlds. The others were confused, and were shocked to see what was happening. Trinity lay on the floor, her head resting on Yami's lap. Her whole body turned to a pale blue, her eyes were rolled back in her head and her body made horrible twitching movements. The end was near and all they could do was wait. With her last bit of strength, Trinity whispered to her to-be-husband, " Forgive me, my love….Please forgive me…"…..

Difinity: The end is finally here!!

Yami: ^-^

Difinity: Ah…how bittersweet this turned out to be. And I loved writing ever bit of it.

Yami: Seems kinds sad though..

Difinity: *is silent*

Yami: Difinity?

Difinity:….I'm gonna miss her..

Yami: Me too..

Chapter 20.….

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Everything remained silent. No one dared to speak, no one dared to even breathe. Yami sat there, not saying a word. Did he realize it? Did he know? Trinity lay there, a single silent tear slid down her cheek. She struggled to breathe, and she grew tired. The world began to get out of focus, it spun and blurred, threatened to go black. She struggled against it's pull, but found it luring and comforting. Her breath came in slow, her eyes fluttered. Time seemed slow, as slowly, but surely, Trinity's eyes gave in and shut down. Down, down her eyelids traveled, until they reached their peak. Her eyes shut closed, her breath ceased, her heart stopped…and Trinity was dead. She lived no more.

The silence seemed eternal, and no one made a single sound. Yami shifted a bit, and his breath cut off.

" T-Trinity….?" Yami said slowly. " Trinity? Trinity?!" He began to breathe deeply as he shook Trinity's lifeless body. The others rushed forward. Yami continued to shake her, hoping that she would awake. The others watched helplessly as Yami's fear grew deeper and his desperation worse. His eyes were wide with fright, and his hands trembled violently.

Liete stood off to the side, watching the poor young man try hard to revive her. Liete knew he would never succeed. She felt tear sting her eyes. Surprised by her emotions, she blinked them back, trying to regain her composure. But the tears continued to come back.

" She's gone Yami..," Liete whispered. " She's gone." Yami shook his head, his angry tears falling from his eyes and scattering about the air. Liete took a shaky breath. She walked over to Yami, and knelt down.

" She isn't dead!" Yami said fiercely. " She isn't! You're lying!" Liete shook his shoulders. Her tears slid down her face unnoticed.

" Look at her Yami!" Liete cried. " Look at her! She's dead! She's dead! Trinity is dead, Yami!" Yami shook his head again. " There is no way to show you.." Liete added in a sad whisper. She stepped back and looked at Yami's distraught friends.

" I'm sorry," Liete whispered, her head bowed down. " I can't bring her back. She isn't meant to be alive, her time here on Earth is over." Liete raised her head. Her face was stained with tears that made her eyes shimmer. " I give up." Tea looked at Yugi. Tears were pouring silently down his face. Yami's shoulders shook as he cried. Tea stepped forward, but Liete raised her hand, signaling Tea to stop. She did.

Yami stood up, his hand balled into fists. He took a shaky breath and faced his friends.

" She's dead guys," Yami said. " Trinity's gone." A sob escaped Yami's lips. He wiped his eyes and shut them. His heart felt as if it had been ripped out, stepped on, torn into little pieces and burned. A fire seemed to sear in his throat. Yugi looked at him and wondered why Yami bothered to hide his tears. Why didn't he cry? Why did he try to hide his pain? Didn't he care? Wasn't he feeling any pain at that moment? Yugi ran up to him and took a hold of his dark's hands.

" Yami..are you okay?" Yugi asked worriedly. Yami's eyes were grief-stricken and sad. He tried to smile, but couldn't. Besides, it didn't seem appropriate at the time. Yugi wordlessly came forward and wrapped his arms around his dark.

" Yami," Yugi whispered while tightening his hold on Yami. " I love you." Yami's eyes widened, and his tears threatened to come back. He too, wrapped his arms around his hikari and held him tightly.

"…And I love you, Yugi," Yami said sadly. He felt Yugi tremble and saw that his aibou's face was stained with tears. Yami looked at him worriedly. Yugi sniffed as he gazed in the violet eyes of his dark. He felt his face crumble in grief.

" I don't want anything to happen to you, Yami," Yugi said. His tears slipped down his cheeks as he buried his face into Yami's chest. Yami's heart began to hurt again, for making Yugi feel so helpless and afraid. He felt as if he should apologize.

" I-I'm sorry Yugi," Yami said. " I'm sorry for putting you through this. All of you." Yami added as he looked up at the rest of his friends. Tea had her hands to her chest as her tears slipped down her face. Her blue eyes shone brightly as she nodded in understanding. Ryou wiped his eyes and mouthed " I'm so sorry". Joey squeezed Tea's shoulder and Tristan looked at the floor sadly. Liete spoke up.

" It's time for you to go home," she said. Yami nodded. " All of you, please, gather together for me." They did as she instructed. Yugi stood next to Yami, while holding onto his arm. Yami was grateful for the love and kindness that Yugi was showing him, but he couldn't be happy. Not now, maybe not ever again.

Yami's eyes wandered over to Trinity's lifeless body. She lay there, alone in death. Liete followed Yami's glance.

" Don't worry about that," Liete said gently. " Now hurry-"

" I'd like to help them get home," a voice called out, interrupting. Yugi looked over and gasped. By the body, a faint image of Trinity hovered about. She smiled brightly. Yami's eyes widened as he felt new tears form faintly in his eyes. Trinity walked over and stood next to Liete who nodded. Liete placed her hands over her black orb and began to murmur. Trinity smiled at Yami, who gave her a small sad smile. Surrounding them a white light began to form. They huddled closer.

" I'll be seeing you Yami," Trinity said. Yami nodded. " Yugi, take care of him for me. He can be thick-headed sometimes." Yugi gave her a thumbs up and the light became too bright. Yami saw no more but heard an angel whisper: " I love you Yami-kun."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

" Where are you going Yami?" Yugi asked his dark when he saw him go for the door. Yami smiled at his little hikari.

" Just for a walk," Yami reassured. " …Just to think." Yugi nodded.

Yami arrived at the park shortly. He made sure no one saw him and pushed through some thick bushes. He glanced around, taking in the beauty if the area. There were many flowers on the ground, the trees loomed and sent decorated shadows to the ground. The trees were thick and protected Yami from the afternoon sun. A small pond was near by. Yami wandered off to the tree with something special on it. He ran his hand across a heart that was drawn there. His and Trinity's name were carved on the bark. He smiled sadly as the sweet memory claimed his mind..

~*Flashback*~

" Right here Yami!" Trinity said excitedly. She pointed to a large tree. Yami smiled and took out his pocket knife. With a smile on his lips, he drew a heart and wrote his and Trinity's names inside.

" Perfect," Trinity said, her voice full glee. Yami smiled brightly at her and she tapped his nose playfully. He grabbed her wrist and she squealed.

" Let me go Yami!" she laughed.

" I'm a Pharaoh, remember?" he teased. With a wicked grin, Trinity used her full force to push Yami backwards, causing him to fall into the pond. But, he still held her hand and so, her dragged her down with him. They both fell with a loud splash and Trinity exploded with laughter. She giggled and laughed, splashing water at Yami. He threw a wad of mud at her, and soon, a mud war began. By the time they finished, the sun was setting and they were semi-covered in mud, but were soaking wet. Despite the dirty mud, Yami saw Trinity's angelic features shine through. He smiled at her and looked at her with such adoration. Trinity saw him and his love-sick expression, which caused her cheeks to glow bright red. Yami saw this, and grinned, causing Trinity to blush deeper. Once out, together, they walked home, hand in hand.

~*End Flashback*~

Yami smiled at the memory. He walked over to the same pond and felt tears brim in his violet eyes. His heart began to ache and it felt heavy. He looked heavenwards, seeing the birds fly from the trees and the sun shine through. He breathed deeply and he shut his eyes. Life was going on around him and he realized, he should be thankful to still be a part of it. His life with Trinity swirled through his mind. From when he first met her, till the day she died, there wasn't a day he didn't think of her. He shall forever be thankful for the gift of Trinity, the angel that showed him the light. She almost became a forgotten angel, one who shall forever be remembered, and never be erased from his memory. Yami crouched down and peered into the water.

Despite his sadness, Yami smiled, glad to see what he saw in the reflection. He touched the water, happy to see his angel, Trinity, still standing by his side.
