Yami sat on the stone floor, crying over his friend's dead body. "Y-Yami? Will you be ok?" Yugi asked, gently placing his hand on his lover's shoulder. Yami didn't respond, so Yugi nodded and removed his hand. He got down on his knees and gathered Yami into his arms, Almah's head still resting on Yami's lap. "Shhhh, it's ok, it's ok. It'll be ok." Yugi repeated, rubbing Yami's back in little circles. The Duel Monsters looked stunned; they had never EVER seen Yami cry before. He was taught not to. What they didn't know was how hard he had cried the night Aelu died. Soon, Yami stopped crying. "I can't believe she's dead. She was my best friend growing up." Yami said, gazing into Almah's beautiful face. She looked so peaceful. Her eyes were still open, and within them held terror- the only thing that was not peaceful. Sighing with sadness, Yami closed his friend's eyes forever.

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

It was been four days after Almah had died when Seth came back to the Palace. Yami nearly killed him on sight. "Why did you come back? I know that you killed Almah!" Yami hissed. Seth looked scared. "I-it was not me, Highness, I swear it! I was under some sort of spell!" Seth declared. "Then why did you run away?" Yami hissed, not believing the former High Priest. "I was scared- there was some sort of presence in the Palace and I wanted to get away from it. I came back because I am still loyal to you!" Seth said. And he was. No matter how he tried, he could not bring himself to hate the young pharaoh. Seth dropped down to his knees. "Please, Highness, believe me, for I speak the truth." He said. "Very well. However, as punishment, you are no longer High Priest, though you can still live here without further punishment. I will be watching you, Seth." Yami said, before gliding away down the hall.

Seth stood up shakily. "I can't believe I almost told him." He breathed. "Almost told who what?" Asked Yugi, rounding the corner, a small smile on his face. Until he realized who it was. "Seth!" He gasped. Yami came around the corner again. "It is ok, Yugi. He was under a spell when he killed Almah. It was not his fault." Yami said, smiling to the younger boy, who returned the smile, relieved. Yugi walked to Yami, took his hand, and left Seth alone in the hallway.

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

Yugi and Yami made their way to the room they shared. "Are you sure you can trust him, Yami?" Yugi asked. "I don't know. He seems very shaken up, but not by me. If he is lying, he's very good at it." They reached the room, and Yami opened the door. Yugi stretched out on the bed. "Hey now, what are you suggesting, little one?" Yami asked, smirking. "Oh, nothing." Yugi replied. Yami grinned and jumped onto the bed and began kissing his lover passionately. All to soon, they had to come up for air. Yami went back to kiss Yugi again, and Yugi let him. He parted his lips and let Yami's tongue explore his mouth. He moaned. He had never been kissed before. Soon, Yami reached for his shirt. "May I?" He asked. Yugi smiled. "Be my guest."

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

Zyta just happened to be walking by the Pharaoh's room, when she heard soft thumping noises that sounded awfully like clothing dropping to the floor. She simply smiled and hurried to Ghidre. When she found him reading in the library, she sat in his lap, startling him slightly. "Zyta! You scared me!" He said, playfully. Zyta smiled and kissed his cheek. "Not today, koi." She said. He frowned. "I hate it when you speak that language." He said. Zyta smiled. "I know. That's why I use it. Listen, I think Yugi and Yami- well- let's just say they have found themselves." She said, smiling at the inside joke between her and him. He looked at her. "Really now? How interesting." He said, smiling suggestively. Zyta smiled and kissed him on the lips. "I said, not today." She said. "Oh yeah?" He asked.

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

Later that day, Yugi came down the stairs with a grin plastered to his face. Zyta sat at a table in the kitchen as Yugi walked in. "Zyta, I have a question for you." Yugi said, sitting next to her. "How do you propose to someone?" He asked. She looked confused. "Propose?" She asked. "Like- to make an engagement." He said. Zyta smiled slyly. "It depends on the person. Tell me, Yugi. Were you the uke or the seme?" She asked. Yugi looked taken aback." "H-how did you know?" he asked. She chuckled. "I have my ways, dear child. Don't be embarrassed, just tell me, and you can get your answer." "Uke." He whispered. "Before you tell me, what does marriage really mean in these days?" Yugi asked. "Marriage. is that what you call it? Anyways, all it means is it unlawful for anyone else but your partner to have you. No one else may kiss you or touch you, unless given permission by you. If they do, it is punishable by death. Since you are the uke and Yami is a pharaoh, he will ask you to call him "Yugioh", his birth name, instead of Yami, his given name." She said. It sounded simple enough to Yugi. "Thank you, Zyta." He said, standing up.

Unbeknownst to Yugi or Zyta, Seth had heard the whole conversation. 'So, Yami and Yugi really are together now. I'll take my leave then.' He said. 'Jhara should know what to do.' He thought, smiling at the latter sentence. He went to his room, packed few things of his, and left.

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

The former high priest was not missed. The next day, Almah was wrapped up in gauze that smelled like flowers. She did not want to be put into a sarcophagus. So, she was to be burned. The blaze was met with tearful and sorrowful eyes, but none more sorrowful then those of Yami. Almah and him were like brother and sister, now that both their parents were dead. Yami had placed a golden rose in Almah clasped hands- her favorite golden piece in the entire palace.

Many weeks went by, and Kehkan discovered she was with child. The whole palace was happy for her, but this is what Yami had feared. Kehkan would not be able to fight like this. But he shook his head. They needed to love. It strengthened them, rather then weakened them as previous pharaoh's had thought.

One night, 6 monthes after Yugi had arrived, Yami approached him while he was sitting by the window. "Yugi, I love you with all my heart and soul." Yami whispered. Yugi looked up into his crimson eyes. "And I love you the same, Yami. But I already know this, why are you telling me this now? You're not leaving, are you? You're not hurt?" Yugi asked, frantically. Yami laughed lightly. "No." Yugi sighed. "You scared me, Yami." Yugi said. "Don't call me Yami anymore Yugi. Call me Yugioh."

Well, that's that! The end! The sequel, Trial of Tears, should be up soon! Ja ne, minna-san!
