"Don't Sat Goodbye"
Chapter Nine
Cherry: (throws a mini party) I've updated!! Celebrate!!!
Yugi: (cheers jubilantly) One step closer to freedom!!
Yami: (hugs Yugi) Aibou, it's only a matter of time before we're free!!
Yugi: I know, mou hitori no boku! I'm so happy!!
Cherry: Err, you two do realize that I can hear every word you're saying, right?
Yami: Why would we care?
Cherry: (sighs) Never mind. You just ruined my mood, that you did. Let's just start the chapter then.

Yami was near collapse. That final duel with Seth had been difficult, far more difficult than any other duel he'd ever been in. (A/n: Bear with me if this is wrong. I never got to actually finish the game, but I did get that far, so let's pretend that he's the final opponent.) It had been worth it, however. He now had all of the Millennium Items, he country was free, and everyone was safe. Teana and Jono had mixed feelings about this, though. They both knew that since everyone was safe and the threat was gone from their world forever, Yami would be returning to the time he had been in before with the young boy who seemed to be his motivation.
Teana was especially torn. She was still in love with the great pharaoh, but she wanted nothing less than his happiness, so even though it hurt, she would be right there smiling when he left, even if she felt like collapsing into tears.
Yami was aware of the feelings of both of his friends, of course, but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to care as much as he knew he should have. All he cared about was the fact that he had kept his promise to himself. He was finally, after all this time, going to be reunited with his Aibou!

At school the next day, Yugi avoided Kaiba like mad, to the point where he was being blatant about it. He just couldn't face the young CEO. He didn't love Kaiba the way he thought he had, but he couldn't bring himself to break up with him after only one date. Yugi absolutely felt like dirt. He couldn't make himself do what he knew he had to. He couldn't make himself break up with Kaiba, so he figured that if he didn't see the young billionaire, then there would be minimal problems.
It worked until Kaiba caught up with him after school . . .
Yugi was trying to slip out of school before he could be caught by anyone, but apparently Kaiba had thought of that and was waiting for him by the door.
"Damn," Yugi swore under his breath. Fortunately Kaiba didn't catch it.
"Yugi, I've been looking for you all day," Kaiba said. "I noticed you avoiding me. What's the matter?"
Yugi seemed to decide that the floor tiles were absolutely fascinating.
"Yugi, what happened on our date yesterday?" Kaiba asked.
Ryou and Jounouchi, who happened to be walking nearby, quickly hid when they heard this. (A/n: They pop up a lot, don't they? And they're always together.)
"W-what are you t-talking about?" Yugi stuttered.
"Yugi, you broke down crying during our date for what seemed to be no reason at all. What's wrong with you?" Kaiba stated bluntly.
Ryou's eyes widened and he barely contained the gasp that almost escaped him. How much was Yugi hurting anyway?
"I . . . I . . ." Yugi muttered.
This was it . . .
"Yes?" Kaiba pressed. "You what?"
//Aibou!//
Yugi's head snapped up.
/Mou hitori no boku?/
//Hai! It's me Aibou! I'm in the park!//
Yugi's face broke into the biggest, brightest smile that any of them had seen since before Yami left.
"I have to go!" Yugi said before running at top speed past Kaiba and nearly running over Jounouchi.
"Hi and bye you two!" Yugi called as he rushed past. The three confused teenagers took one look at each other before hurrying after Yugi.
"What just happened?" Jou wondered.
"Your guess is as good as mine mutt." (A/n: Take a guess who said that.)
"Kaiba . . ."
"Not now you two!" Ryou interrupted, effectively halting the oncoming fight. They all focused on keeping the small boy in their sights, though that was proving to a very difficult task. They had never known that Yugi could run like that.
After about ten minutes, one-third of the normal time it took, they found themselves in the park. It went without saying that they were all completely confused as to why they were there.
"YAMI!!!"
Yugi's sudden scream caused them to jump out of their skins, but it did let them know where he had gone, and upon turning their eyes in his direction, they saw why he had took off like a rocket.
There he was . . .
The entire reason this had all started . . .
The former pharaoh had returned . . .
And this wouldn't have even been a bad thing had Kaiba not seen what Yugi did next.
The chibi hikari leapt into Yami's arms and placed a wild kiss on his lips.

Cherry: And this is what a long writer's block will do to me when it finally lifts! I get inspired!
Yugi: Hurrah! Yami's finally back!!
Yami: (looks at Cherry) Why am I getting a nasty feeling about this?
Cherry: (blinks innocently) Don't be so suspicious of me. I'm not completely evil.
Yami: No, only 9/10.
Cherry: Shut up!
