Chapter 7
This I Promise You
Yami walked through the halls of his Millennium puzzle. He had just beaten Dartz and got Yugi back. He hoped that now that he was back alive, he hoped that Yugi would forgive him for what he had done.
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
Tears rolled down Yami's cheeks. I hope Yugi can understand…I want to tell him I'm sorry for what I've done…
And all that surrounds you
Are the secrets and lies
Yami approached the hall to where his soul room and Yugi's were across from each other. He walked to Yugi's soul room, hoping that his light was still there, waiting for him.
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
Yami stood in front of the door to Yugi's room, looking slightly nervous. Yugi…I know you're here. I can sense you…
The one you should call
Was standing here all along
Yami opened the door and found only emptiness, nothing but the toys that were in his friend's room before. "Yugi…? Where are you…?" Yami sobbed.
"I'm right here, Pharaoh."
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
ThisI promise you
Yami turned, looking for the source of the voice. "Yugi?" he called again.
"Pharaoh! I'm in your room!"
"How will I find you?"
"Just follow my voice…"
I loved you forever
In lifetimes before
Yami walked into his room, still searching for his friend. "Yugi!" he called again, worry filling his voice. "I can't you! Where are you!"
"Calm down, Pharaoh! Just listen to my voice. I know you're here."
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore?
Yami walked closer into his room, finding only darkness and the sound of little Yugi. Where was it coming from?
"Pharaoh…just listen to my voice…"
I'll give you my word
I'll give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
A shadow ran past Yami, making him shiver. "Yugi? Is that you?" he called, following the figure. "Yugi, please, answer me!"
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
Yami stopped running as the figure stopped at a corner. Yami walked slowly to it. "Yugi…?" he called, reaching out to the figure. "I need to know if it's you. Show me your face. Come into the light."
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
The figure turned and stepped into the light. Yugi! "I'm right here, Pharaoh. It's me," he smiled. Yami was shocked! Yugi did come back! They stared at each other for several moments. Yami had tears running down his cheeks. "Yugi…it's really you…" he said. He ran toward him and hugged him tightly "Yugi! I missed you so much!"
Over and over I fall (Over and over I fall)
When I hear your call
Yugi returned the embrace as tears rolled down his face as well. "So did I, Pharaoh, so did I," he whispered, rubbing the Pharaoh's back as he cried.
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
Yami knelt to Yugi's level, still crying tears of joy. "Yugi, promise me one thing," he said.
"What's that?"
"Promise me that you'll never leave me again?"
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you, baby
Yugi hugged the Pharaoh tightly again. "I promise, Pharaoh. I will never leave you again. I forgive you," he said.
Yami smiled and hugged Yugi again with joy. They stayed like that until Yugi had to see his friends again. "You better go. They're waiting for you," Yami said as he wiped away his tears. Yugi smiled and left the puzzle to see his friends.
Yami smiled as he left. He now knew that he and Yugi will be closer than ever and be very protective of each other once more.
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you…
