...With Tomoya

As it went up in flames, Tomoya whispered 'I love you, Yami,' into the fire. Now as she stood there with tears coming down, she wondered if it was enough to save him. 'I wonder if he heard me.' She thought. She wanted to end her life right here and now. 'Life isn't worth living if Yami's not here. I just hope he's in a much better place.' She gazed up at the sky, splattered with stars. "If you're up there," she whispered quietly "I want you to know that I'll always love you. Even...even if you're not here physically." Then she squinted her eyes at something in the sky.

...Normal

As Tomoya looked up at the sky, she saw it turn red.

"You guys!" she said pointing to the sky. "Look!"

Everyone looked up and also saw that the sky had turned red.

"It's happening," whispered Umiko.

"What's happening?" asked Seto.

But they would soon find out because four beams of light, just like when Kinshrew came, shot down from the sky. The light was blinding, and they looked away. But when they heard Malik's startled cry, they looked up. It was Tea, Mai, Shizuka, and Serenity. They were free from the shadows.

"NO!!" shouted Bakura who was disappearing before their very eyes. "Don't think you've won yet. I'll be back!!" then he disappeared completely.

"Good riddance," said Tristan.

"Shizuka!" Malik shouted happily forgetting all about Bakura and running to her.

Shizuka gasped as she turned around. "Malik," she whispered as he embraced her tightly. "Malik, you're choking me."

"Sorry," he said loosening up.

"So, sister." Said Seto holding his hand out. "You're back."

Shizuka stared at Seto's hand and started laughing.

"What's so funny?" asked Seto thinking something was wrong.

Shizuka went up and hugged Seto. "You're the stupidest and most self-poised brother ever."

"Is that a compliment?" asked Seto in mock stupidness.

She let go of him and stared at him. "Well, yeah." She laughed.

"That's not funny. --;"

Then all of a sudden, another huge flash of light and the sky turned green. (A/n I know it's weird. I'm running out of colors.)

When the light disappeared, there was a heap of people piled on top of each other. It was only when Shizuka cried, "Mokuba!" that they knew who the pile of people were. They rushed over and saw who they were individually looking for. (A/n: like moms and dads and such.)

"Shauna." Whispered Seto.

"Hello, Seto." She said cheerfully.

"Are you okay? I mean," he cleared his throat. "let's go."

"No. I'm in no rush," she said putting her arms around his neck. "And you aren't either." She leaned up and kissed him.

(Let's leave the two lovebirds and find out what happens next. Lol)

So. Then they get reunited and happy. Tomoya is reunited with her parents and siblings, and she's happy to see them, but she still feels sad about Yami. (A/n. who wouldn't?) She forced smiles and laughs. Real ones wouldn't come. Maybe they would never come.

Tomoya's Mom: Come on honey let's go home.

Tomoya: No, I have to stay here with the others and help.

Tomoya's Dad: With what?

Tomoya: Stuff.

Brother: --; You just want to stay here with your friends.

Sister: uh huh. He's right.

Tomoya: Johnny, Sara, please, will you shut up?

Tomoya stormed away angrily. They all looked bewildered. Tomoya was usually happy and stuff. Then Umiko came over to them.

Mom: Umiko? Do you know what's—

Umiko: She lost someone close to her.

Dad: Who?

Umiko: Just a very good friend. I think you guys should head home. Tomoya will stay here with us. I think she needs to be alone for a while. So don't worry if she doesn't come home straight away.

Parents: Um...okay.

Johnny: (suddenly shy) You big girl.

Sara: (giggle) I want to be like you.

Umiko laughed a little.

Umiko: You will be, maybe.

Umiko told everyone who was going home to stand in one place. After that, she, Tomoya, and Ryushi transported them back to the mainland. After the three came back, they waited for the next sign. They needn't wait long because from the flames, came a beam of light heading straight up. What was different about this was that it looked like a dragon make it's way up to the sky. After it got up, it split into two. One headed for the heart stone mountain, and the other split again and both went into the flames once more.

"The final sign." Whispered Umiko.

"Oh wow!" said Joey. "I love dragons!!!"

(Remember, the heart stone was revealed.)

The dragon heading for the mountain collided into it.

"Oh..." said Serenity. "Was that supposed to happen?"

The heart stone glowed and went back to looking like a mountain.

"The shield is back!" said Umiko.

'But Yami's not. Yugi either.' thought Tomoya sadly.

Umiko seemed to know what she was thinking because she said,

"It's okay, Tomoya."

Tomoya didn't say anything. Her eyes were focused on the flames.

"It's ...it's...dying down!" she cried.

"What?"

"It's dying down! The fire!"

They looked over there and sure enough, the fire was getting lower and lower. Then it just extinguished all by itself.

"Well, that was interesting." Said Duke.

Umiko and Tomoya ran over to the once alive fire. They couldn't believe what they saw.

"Yami!"

"Yugi!"

But they were not awake.

"Oh no." whispered Umiko.

The rest of the group had gathered around now.

"Look," said Joey. "They...weren't even burned! There's not a single burn anywhere!"

Tomoya took Yami's hand and stroked it. It was just as she remembered it except that it was cold. She weaved her fingers between his and held it there. Then suddenly, Yami's hand tightened. Tomoya looked up startled. 'What's going on?' she could see that Umiko was looking at Yugi strangely.

"I...I think they're waking up!!" said Tea very shaken.

Tomoya nodded. She stared at Yami's eyes, struggling to open, desperate to see the world once more.

'Open your eyes! Please, just do it!' Tomoya willed squeezing his hand.

Then as if her plea was answered, his eyes opened. (A/n: thank goodness...if he were really dead...well...I dunno.) On the other side, so did Yugi's. Umiko was screaming with happiness and saying over and over, "You're not dead!"

"What the heck just happened here?" groaned Yugi.

"Well, it's a long story." Said Umiko. "Oh, I can't believe you're alive!!!" then she hugged him so tight, that he was gasping for air.

"Miko...please..."

"Oh. Sorry. And since when do you call me Miko?"

"While I was...where ever I was, I was thinking about my past and I heard myself calling you Miko. So. Yeah."

"Oh...interesting."

...On the other side...

"What the heck?" said Yami sitting up and rubbing his head.

"To make a long story short, you were sacrificed into a burning fire, everything is back to normal, Bakura is gone, and you're alive again." Said Tomoya.

"I was dead? I didn't feel dead."

"Well you looked it."

Yami thought a moment.

"I heard you."

"What?"

"You said you loved me." Said Yami blushing.

"Oh...that...well yeah." Said Tomoya also blushing.

"You mean it though, right?"

"You and Yugi have separate bodies now don't you? I guess that's proof."

Yami nodded. He got up with some kind of new strength within him. He felt oddly lightheaded. Then he realized that he had to tell Tomoya something. He took her aside from all the rest. When they were well out of hearing distance of the others, he turned to face her.

"What's wrong?" Tomoya asked.

"Well...it's kind of...um..."

"What?"

Yami sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He had been meaning to tell her a long time ago, so he had to bring it out straight. "I love you."

(Awkward silence.)

"Oh!" said Tomoya after awhile. She was startled by his sudden approach. "Well...you know...me too."

"I know,"

He leaned down and kissed her.

Joey and Tristan started clapping, and wiping pretend tears away.

"Bravo! A five-star Broadway performance." Said Joey.

"WHAT?!"

So thing progress from there, blah, blah, and blah. Umiko and Yugi start talking about their child hood, Ryushi stands there just thinking and every other couple makes out. FINALLY after a while, Ryou says,

"Shouldn't we all be heading home now?"

They agreed reluctantly.

"Hey!!" shouted Joey suddenly. "I got an excellent idea!!"

"Oh really," said Tristan. "And what would that be?"

"Let's all promise each other that in five years, we'll contact each other and have a reunion party!"

Everyone thought for a moment.

"Yea..." said Shizuka. "And by then, some of us might have... kids!"

(Awkward silence.)

"True." They agreed.

So they agreed to contact each other in five years. So they each went their separate ways, each leading to their homes, families, and their future.

THE END...or is it? ..........................

Oh wow. It was much longer than I expected. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! The epilogue is next! It's their reunion party! It's going to be cool, just you wait! Ok? Don't give up on me yet!!!!!! Please, please, please, review, and tell me what you think about this chapter!!
