After hours of crying and sobbing Yugi wore himself out. Jou convinced Yugi that there was a way to get Yami back.

"What do you think happened to Yami after he … ah … yes … you know … smashed the puzzle" Jou tried to be very careful with his words. He doesn't want to upset his little friend more than he already was. Yugi's eyes were red and puffy from crying and his usually spiked hair was a mess.

"Well … I don't know … I talked with … with … with him about this. He wasn't sure himself. Y-ami guessed we would be sealed again in the puzzle or or …" Yugi trailed off. There was still hope. Yami never mentioned that he would die, because he was once sealed in the puzzle until somebody solved it. Why shouldn't it be the same this time? Yami was either sealed in the puzzle or … I don't say yet, what the second possibility is Yugi smiled a little. He could hope again.

Jou was happy that Yugi didn't give up and was determined to get his yami back. Jou saw the glow in these bright amethyst eyes again. Hope. Life. Determination. Confidence. Courage. And the most important LOVE. Jou was amazed how much Yugi looked like Yami at the moment. He smiled sadly, knowing that these weren't the only emotions in his friend's eyes. Sadness. Fear of rejection. And loss were also painful visible.

Jou considered both, Yami and Yugi, as his best friends. How often had they saved him and encouraged him … and now it was his chance to help them in return. He would do everything to see Yami and Yugi happy together! Making his decision, he was eager to do something to complete his "mission".

"Come on, Yugi. Let's see if we can put this puzzle together again" Jou encouraged the hikari. Yugi nodded enthusiastically at him and Jou saw the gratitude shining in this bright innocent eyes.

It wasn't so hard to put this puzzle together. After all, Yugi now knew what it looked like.

The hikari had put a pretty part of the puzzle together. Jou wasn't really a big help. It seemed that the puzzle didn't want him to be able to do so. 'I think that only one person is chosen to finish it …' Yugi didn't mind that Jou wasn't working on the puzzle too, because he stayed and encouraged Yugi every now and then. This let the hikari time to think about his last conversation with Yami. Now, when he thought about it, he was very mean to Yami and didn't gave him a chance to explain.

Yugi knew he acted stubborn, like a spoiled brat. He was so afraid to loose his darkness, so he didn't see that he pushed the person away, he cared about the most. The hikari thought about the time before he met the spirit. Yugi was shy and he thought about himself as nothing special. Yami changed all this. With the former pharaoh he had a friend, who showed him, that he could be brave and that he important. For Yami. Yami …

His hands began to shake and tears were forming in his eyes again. He didn't believe he had tears left after what he cried the last hours, since his yami left him. The innocent hikari didn't know how he would be able to go on with his life if he didn't get his yami back. The balance to his light. He was nothing without his shadow. He needed him. He craved him.

Yugi smiled sadly to himself. Yami left a few hours and he thought the world was ending. But the brave hikari would do EVERYTHING to get him back. Yugi looked down at the millennium puzzle and was surprised to find it almost finished. There was only one piece left. Yugi shot Jou a last glance before he put the last piece, the Eye of Horus, in the puzzle.

The puzzle began to glow and Yugi had to close his eyes. The light was shining brighter and brighter and Yugi had to shield his eyes with his hands, but then … the light was suddenly gone. Slowly, Yugi opened one eye and blinked a few times to adjust his eyes to his new surroundings. He gaspered, he was right! Yami wasn't dead or sealed again. Yami went home. To Egypt …

Jou saw his friend vanishing and hoped that his friend will be able to get Yami back. He left the game shop, praying that things will work out between the two.

You didn't see this coming, do you! o
Sorry I know it was short, but I had to end it here, because the next chapter doesn't fit to this title. I'm already working on it. It will be longer than this one, I promise.
