A/N- Hey, minna! I'm sorry, but I don't have enough time to reply to reviews today! I've got a ton of stuff I need to get done before school starts back! I ask that you forgive me, take three cookies, and enjoy the chapter!

WARNING: This is going to be the shortest chapter I have ever written for this story.

Chapter 14- Best Friends Once More

Tea looked at Tristan expectantly...he shook his head sadly, "They're both dead." Tea gasped and burst into tears, clinging to Joey, who was holding Yugi's head in his lap. Tears fell from Joey's eyes and he punched the ground, shielding his eyes with his bangs. Tristan was not crying, but a look of complete helplessness was on his face and he was looking around the room wildly as if he was lost.

He, of course, was the first one to notice when all the Millennium Items, which had not been visible before, were now coming together and forming a circle around them all. It was his gasp of surprise that alerted the others to what was going on.

Tea and Joey looked up, tears still in their eyes, but no longer falling. Their eyes widened in amazement as the final Millennium Item, the Millennium Bracelet came to hover in the air right above Yugi and Selina's bodies, or in the middle of the "Millennium Circle" (a/n-hehe).

All of the items began to glow brightly, so brightly in fact that Joey, Tristan, and Tea had to shield their eyes in order not to go blind. And even when the glowing stopped their were dots swimming in their vision. Joey was SURE he was hallucinating or maybe the dots were all coming together.

There, standing in front of them all, were the spirits that inhabited the Millennium Items.

"Yami...? Bakura...? What are you two doing here?" Joey asked.

Bakura was looking over at his hikari with concern written on his face. Yami, on the other hand, was kneeling next to Yugi, tears falling silently down his transparent face.

Bakura was the one to answer Joey's question. "The Millennium Items are at an imbalance. Whatever Yugi did to her, his Yin necklace now contains all Selina's essence AND all the magic that was in the Millennium Bracelet. Selina's Yang on the other hand contains all of Yugi's essence and magic. Not the magic of the Millennium Puzzle because he wasn't wearing it, but he has magic of his own, obviously."

"Did you say the items are at an IMBALANCE? What does THAT mean?" Tristan asked.

Bakura rolled his eyes, unable to inflict bodily harm on him, he could do nothing else. "I've just told you mortal. But if it really is too hard for your small brain to comprehend, I'll abridge it for you, baka. There is no longer any magic inside the Millennium Bracelet, which *means* it will not function as anything anymore. It's just a regular piece of jewelry. That is not the way things are supposed to be so we have been summoned to 'refill' the Millennium Bracelet with its magic. Now tell me mortal, did you understand THAT?"

"Uh...yeah, sure."

Bakura rolled his eyes again then turned to Yami. "If you're done being sentimental, I'd like to get this over with."

Yami glared at him, but stood up. Together, they looked up at the Millennium Bracelet hanging just above their heads and held up their arms toward it and began their chant. Joey and the others could not understand what they were saying, it was a foreign language to them, but unlike when the spirits appeared, only the Millennium Bracelet began to glow.

What appeared to be a wisp of smoke floated out of the Millennium Bracelet and divided into two. Then one of each floated down to both Yugi and Selina. The 'smoke' began to glow, one a pure white and the other the darkness of black. The darkness wrapped around Selina in an attempt to draw out Yugi's essence and the white wrapped around Yugi to draw out Selina's essence and the magic of the Millennium Bracelet.

Suddenly, the white light turned a dark black and the black turned pure white. They had captured the souls of the two. The now white light condenced into a ball of white energy and made an arch in the air, coming to rest in Yugi's chest. The black light also formed a sphere of energy, but this one split in two again and while one was drawn into the Millennium Bracelet the other fell into Selina.

Tristan, Tea, and Joey watched in amazement as Selina's body began to flicker. It was disappearing. Selina was turning into a spirit just like Yami and Bakura now were. Just as the light was drawn into the Millennium Bracelet, so was Selina's spirit. She was now the spirit of the Millennium Bracelet.

Then Yami and Bakura vanished as all the Millennium Items began to glow once more. Tea, Joey, and Tristan felt a warm tingling feeling start from the tips of their fingers and toes and worm its way into their very hearts as it rejuvenated them. Ryou and Malik groaned and sat up and two of the Millennium Items disappeared. The Millennium Scales and Millennium Key.

The Millennium Ring, Eye, and Rod all floated over to their respective owners. Ryou and Malik took them, then walked over to the small group huddled around the still form of Yugi. The Millennium Puzzle and Necklace were floating above them as they waited to see if Yugi would awaken.

Tea was holding his hand, or more like squeezing the life out of it, while Joey held his head in his lap, and Tristan was on the other side. Malik and Ryou came up and stood at his feet; all of them were waiting, waiting for him to just open his eyes.

Tea was the first one to realize he was coming to as he squeezed her hand. For a moment there was a look of concentration on his face as his brow furrowed and his mouth was twisted in a frown as if he was having trouble opening his eyes.

"Come on, Yug! You can do it!"

"Yeah, man! We're here for you."

"Wake up, Yugi! You can do it!"

They held their breath as Yugi slowly, ever so slowly, began to open his eyes and see all of them around him. He looked at each of them and whispered in a hoarse, barely audible voice, "Did we beat her? Is she gone?"

Everyone burst into grins as Joey said, "Yeah, man! You beat her, Yug! Thanks to you, the whole world is saved again!"

"And all the people she sent to the Shadow Realm are back where they belong," added Bakura, taking control of Ryou for his interjection.

Just then everyone heard a CLANK as the Millennium Bracelet fell to the ground. They all looked at it, seeing what it was, but just as they looked at it, it started to fade away, into nothingness.

Joey helped Yugi stand up, and helped to support him. Yugi then took the Millennium Necklace hanging in front of him, put it in his pocket and then took the Millennium Puzzle and put it around his neck.

Everyone cheered.

"But where did the Millennium Bracelet go?" Yugi wondered aloud.

Bakura and Malik shrugged. Yugi frowned, but then Joey and the others began dragging him away. They all wanted to take him to his favorite place to eat to celebrate...Burger World. Yugi's smile reappeared on his innocent face and he quickly forgot the bracelet as they all headed off together, best friends once more.

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

(a/n- You all remember Selina's father? Well, guess what...)

Yamal had been peaking in on his daughter ever since she had come to visit him in his shop. She had no idea about this of course, but he wanted to make sure her plans went well. Of course if she was able to gain all the Millennium Items and complete her plans he would be her second in command.

He watched her toy with the mortals until finally she had them in the palm of her hands. Just as the last pieces of the puzzle were falling into place, that young brat with tri-colored spiky hair ruined it all. He glared at the boy called Yugi Mutou as he regained consciousness, then he looked over to the Millennium Bracelet that hung in midair. It contained his daughter's spirit.

She had gotten him out of the Shadow Realm and for that he was still indebted to her. He would take the Bracelet and make sure Selina's plans DID succeed. She would rule the world some day and he would be right there with her to help. After all, he wanted the best for his little girl. While all of the little children were clustered around the small boy, Yamal used what little magic he had to break the magical thread that was holding the Bracelet aloft. It fell to the floor with a clunk and all the teenagers turned to look at it.

Yamal mentally slapped himself. Using some more of his meager powers he transported/teleported the Millennium Bracelet from its place on the floor into his hands. He smiled, quickly disappearing into a deserted alleyway, heading back to his small shop.

He would find the right person to give it to. He, after all, knew the powers of the Millennium Bracelet better than anyone, except his daughter, and he knew that she was now a yami and if he could find her a suitable hikari she would still be able to take over the world...

THE END

A/N- well, that's that. For this part neway. I think I will do a sequel, I've perfectly set up for it wouldn't you say? I have no idea what I would do, however, so when I do it, it more than likely won't be anytime soon. Unless one of you has an idea I could go with. Thank you all for reviewing. You guys are the greatest. If you have any questions at all, now is the time to ask them. I will put up one more "chapter" to thank everyone that reviewed, answer questions, and give special thanks. (And IF I happen to come up with an idea by that time I will tell you when I will post the seq.) That chapter should be up next weekend...so yeah.

Serafina: Hm...now that Selina is a yami I wonder who I should make her hikari be? What will I name them? What will they look like? Well, never mind, they would look like her, only more innocent right? Hm...what should I do?

Everybody: *looks at Serafina in exasperation*

Serafina: *looks at everybody looking at her* What?

Selina: Isn't it obvious?

Serafina: ...No?

Selina: Ok, we'll take this nice and slow for you. What is my name?

Serafina: Selina

Selina: Who is the evil girl in your story?

Serafina: Selina.

Selina: Good, now WHAT am I? Yami or Hikari?

Serafina: Yami.

Selina: Very nice. Now which are you?

Serafina: Hikari.

Selina: *sarcastic* Very good. Now who do you think Selina's hikari will be?

Serafina: ... O.O OH!!! It's me! I get it!! Serafina will be your hikari!

Selina: *rolls eyes* you are pathetic...
