It had been two days since Yami had died, but Yugi could still feel Yami's lifeless body in his arms. It seemed like only a few moments ago they were holding each other, and proclaiming their love. And now Yugi lies awake in his bed with tears streaming down his face. He had not told anyone about Yami or what had happened between them, let alone that he was dead. His grandfather and his friends had noticed how sad Yugi was but none of them knew why. Yugi would give them no answer as to what was bothering him no matter how much they asked and they were all becoming very worried. It felt like Yugi had lost an important part of himself that could never be replaced. The sun had risen and Yugi was still in bed.
"Yugi! Yugi, your friends are here. . ." Solomon called.
Yugi sat up in bed and though for a moment, whether or not he cared to even leave his room. He decided to go downstairs after he heard his grandfather call a second time. He got dressed quickly and went down stairs and saw Tristan, Joey, and Tea at the table eating breakfast.
"Hey Yug. Grandpa thought it would be nice to have us over for breakfast today before school," Joey said as he then stuffed his mouth with bacon.
The others tried talk to Yugi, but he didn't say much. Finally, when everyone had eaten they gathered there things and left for school together. The school day was passing slowly for Yugi, as if each minute was a day onto it self. He gave a sigh of relief as he finally heard the lunch bell, and he picked up his things. The lunch room was filled with chatter as Yugi walked in and found a seat for himself at a deserted corner. His mind kept replaying the images of what happened in the shadow realm, and he was so busy with this that he took no notice of his friends sitting down around him.
"Yug? Hey Yug, you ok?"
Yugi was startled out of his thoughts as Joey shook him up a bit. He looked up into their faces, filled with concern and looked away.
"Yugi what's wrong? We know something's up! Please let us help you." Tea declared.
Yugi sighed deeply and looked down into his hands. With a heavy heart he began to tell them everything. How he and Yami became lovers and they had journeyed into the shadow realm. He spoke of all this quickly as if to say it all slowly would increase his sorrow. All of them sat around Yugi, absorbing all this information with pure shock. None of them knew what to say and so they all sat there looking at Yugi in silence, until it was finally Joey who broke the silence:
"Yugi, why didn't you come to us before? You can't handle all this alone. I mean were your friends. And you shouldn't have to go threw this alone. Right guys?"
"Yeah Yugi. We'll be here for you." Tristan said.
"I'm glad he's dead," Tea declared.
Everyone looked in shock as they heard what tea said.
"Tea what are you saying?" Joey demanded.
"I think it's disgusting! And I can't believe you Yugi, all that stuff is sick. And besides I'm sure Yami would have been better off with me instead."
"How can you say that? I thought you were my friend?" Yugi demanded as tears began to stream down his face.
"What do you expect me say?" Tea spat as she stood up and walked away.
No one knew what to say and through out all this. No one noticed someone else was hanging on their every word. . .

Yugi was now in his bed room crying once more. He couldn't believe how Tea had reacted. Joey and Tristan tried to talk to him to make him feel better, but their words could do nothing. He lay there with his hands cupping his face until time passed, and he soon went to sleep. Suddenly a great light shone above him and a strange beautiful voice began to sing from the light. Yugi slowly moved in his bed, half awake and half asleep. When he did open his eyes and look up on the light what he saw soon made him gasp. From the light came Yami silhouetted in the light behind him. Yugi tried to speak but his lips would not move, and his throat would make no noise. The music seemed to be magic and without looking away from Yugi's eyes, Yami began to sing:
ALL YOUR DREAMS, ARE MAGICAL THOUGHTS FOR ALL THINGS ARE REAL, UNLESS YOU DREAM THEIR NOT IN YOUR DREAMS, OUR LOVE IS THE PLOT, CARRIED ON WINGS OF HOPE BOTH OF OUR SOULS INTERTWINE WHEN WE DUEL BUT NOW WE BOTH HAVE TO SEE THAT THE TIME FOR OUR LOVE TO BE IS NOW THAT EVERYTHIGN IS PINNED ON A HOPE SO I WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES OF YOUR HEART TO PROTECT YOUR INNOCENT YOUTH, SO CAREFREE AND KIND WE WILL BE FREE TO ROAM THE BREEZE IN OUR LOVE ONLY WHEN TWO BRILLIANTLY SHINE AS ONE. . .
Just as he had finished singing, he disappeared and Yugi fell asleep as if the song had sapped all of his energy away. He slept a dreamless sleep until the rays of the sun, shining through his window awoke him. He jumped out of bed and looked dup where Yami had stood in the air. There was no trace that anything had happened and Yugi was beginning to think that it was a dream. As he got dressed he began to feel that somehow Yami was there, watching him. He shook off the feeling as being silly and wished that he was still in the shadow realm with Yami. Just as he was about to open the door to go down stairs his Puzzle began to glow. Before he knew what was happening Aubrey was standing before him.
"Yugi I don't have much time, so listen quickly. You must choose someone you know and trust to wield great power. After school, make sure you and he are alone and I will open the way for you to the shadow realm, and please be careful. We might have a way to bring Yami back."
Aubrey vanished back into the Puzzle before Yugi had any chance of saying anything. Now, Yugi was plagued with thoughts about what was happening. As he began to walk to school he couldn't help but wonder: How could they bring Yami back? What did the Dark Magician mean by great power? And what did that have to do with resurrecting Yami? And who was he going to choose to help him do it all? That question was answered for him that very moment. . .
"Hey Yugi! You ok?" Joey said walking toward Yugi.
For the first time since his return a smile spread over Yugi's face. Yugi immediately began to tell Joey everything that had happened right there in front of the school. Joey was completely dumbstruck at what he heard. As Yugi continued to explain, they were ignorant to the person right behind them. The day passed just as slowly as ever and Tea was pretending as if Yugi didn't exist. Every time Yugi looked at her, she turned her nose up as if she was better than him. When school finally ended, Yugi went out to the front of the school to wait for Joey. No one was around anymore and Yugi was beginning to get anxious. Joey ran out of the school as if he was being chased and stopped abruptly in front of Yugi.
"Joey what happened? Where have you been?"
"Sorry Yug, but I couldn't get my locker open and I didn't want to go without my deck."
Yugi and Joey looked around but saw no one, but for some reason Yugi couldn't shake the feeling he was being watched. The Puzzle began to glow as before and from it came this time another portal. Joey and Yugi jumped into together as if diving into water. But, unbeknownst to either of them, someone else had jumped in with them.
