BlackRose: Now this is the last chapter.
Bakura stood in front of the grave of his former enemy, donned in a black suit once again. It had been a long funeral. After all, not only was it for the Pharaoh himself, but Yugi, Joey, and Tristan. The former tomb robber knelt down and placed a single white rose over the freshly dug dirt, the Millennium Puzzle and the Millennium Ring clanging together from the movement. The sky above him was a beautiful blue, something that didn't bother him that much.
"Bakura, are you ready?" his soft-spoken hikari asked. Bakura stood up and nodded, casting one last look at the grave of the fallen pharaoh.
"Goodbye, Yami." With that, he walked away, his eyes dry. It wasn't proper to cry at such an occasion. After all, Yami finally got the peace he had been longing for after 5,000 years. Duke, Kaiba, Malik, and Ryou watched him uneasily as the fivesome walked towards Kaiba's limo. The ride was silent, as every one was lost in their own thoughts. It had been two weeks since that night…that once night in hell. Kaiba had gotten a new mansion with no problem, something to which he was thankful for. Although no one really wanted to go there. It was to Ryou and Bakura's house they were going to, the closest to the cemetery. It was as they entered the house that a cat's meow broke the comfortable silence. Bakura half smiled and picked up the black and white cat, causing it to erupt with purrs.
"Well Pharaoh, I take it you missed us," he said. The cat meowed in response.
No one else said a word until every one was seated comfortably.
"Well," Duke asked, his hand resting on his bandaged abdomen, "What should we do now?" He was sitting particularly close to Seto, who had taken his other hand.
"I'm not really sure. Not a snowball's chance in hell we're just going to forget it ever happened, that's for certain, though." Malik answered. He too was sitting close to his koi, which was obviously Ryou.
"There is not much we can do, actually, except go on with our lives. The others are dead and that's that. What more is there to say?" Bakura said. The other four blinked at his statement, although no one said anything. Silence pierced the air for a few more moments until Seto asked,
"Do you really think it's over?" Bakura smiled wryly at this.
"Well, Yami and I blew that bitch to pieces. You tell me." For some reason, Ryou started to laugh. It was contagious as Duke too began to crack up. Soon, the room was filled with laughter, as if the idea had just hit that their one night in hell would stay just that. One night full of loss. And when the dawn came, it was safe to pick up the broken pieces and remember those who had perished. They shall forever more live on in our hearts.
+No matter how many more millennia's I live, I will never forget him. For I carry a piece of him with me always. I need no Item to make his memory live on. I will always remember him in my heart.+
-Yami Bakura
