This is not YAOI (Why? Coz I hate the stuff.)
Rated: PG, just to be safe... Yami's kinda freaky in the first part...

"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
My vision is blurry... my hands are shaking, but I won't give up. The day the Millennium Puzzle was returned to it's unmade form, I felt as if my heart hard been torn to pieces as well. The loss of three souls, that could have just cost my own.
I can't remember the last time I slept well. The only sleep I got was when I collapsed, the puzzle pieces still not fitting together.
I cast a glance at the door, and see someone retreating away quickly. That's right... run away, I know what you think of me, you all think the same.
'Poor Yami." They say, 'He's lost his mind.' They say. Speak your thoughts, they mean nothing to me.
'You can't bring him back,' you tell me, 'It's time to move on'. I won't listen, Yugi's not gone, he's not supposed to be. I'll make the puzzle... I'll show you... Yugi'll come back and everything will be back to normal... you'll see...
Yami turned quickly, glaring menacingly back at Joey. Joey felt a pain of fear inside him. Yami wanted so much to believe could bring Yugi back... he'd seemed to be able to think of nothing else. His mind was closed, and it had caused him to lose sanity temporarily.
Yami was scaring everyone, but someone had to stop him before he lived the rest of his life a lie. "Yami... stop doing this..." Joey whispered, but Yami just glared at him. Joey tried to remain calm. "Remember what Shadi said? You won't be able to make it Yami."
"You have no proof of that..." Yami said in an eerie tone, like a harsh whisper in the silence of a dark room. "Maybe you just don't want Yugi back..."
"Of course I do, but Yami, he's not coming back." Joey explained. When Yami stood up he raised his voice slightly. "Your making us all suffer Yami, you have to stop."
"What do you know?!" Yami yelled. "Yugi's coming back... I'm going to help him, I'm going to get him out of the puzzle-"
"Yami stop it!" Joey yelled, slapping Yami hard across the face. Yami was stunned and speechless. "We all miss him, but we know there's no way to bring him back! You know it too. Look at yourself! What would Yugi say if he could see you like this right now?! He'd be ashamed, and upset. He told you not to blame yourself, and that's just what you should do." Joey sighed and turned Yami's face towards him, looking into his tear-filled eyes. "It's time to let go..."
Yami seemed to take a while to consider and understand what Joey had just said, but once he had, he broke down into tears. "I miss him Joey..."
"We all do..." Joey said, pulling Yami into a comforting hug.
"But your right... it's time I let go, and move on with my life..."
It was a medallion, with a Japanese symbol of friendship on it. "Remember the day you gave this to me? It was just a week since I came out of the puzzle. Joey was trying to explain how to make the cord shorter and he nearly choked me to death." Yami laughed slightly, smiling at the memory. "It's very special to me, but you deserve it more then I do..." He pressed the medallion deep into the earth and covered it up carefully. "Friends forever... just like you promised..." He whispered, drying the tears in his eyes. "Never forget, your will always be a part of my soul... and my heart..."
