The ceremonial battle between Atemu and Yugi has been settled. Atemu decides to go back to his memory world and face Osiris, The god of the Underworld. He leaves Yugi, happy but at the same time, sad. He looks back before coming inside the door of memories….
"Aibou, always remember… You are stronger than anything I could ever become. Good Bye."
Those were his last words to Yugi… He went inside the door and disappeared from Yugi's eyes forever. A bond tied together by the puzzle of Atemu's heart is now broken. It is now a mere puzzle reminding everyone of some things. Yugi tried not to cry, but felt cold thick tears streaming down his cheeks… he fell on his knees totally shaken.
"What have I done? Now, Atemu's gone and he won't be with me anymore." Yugi thought.
Jonouchi and the others approached Yugi and tried to calm him down. But alas, Yugi ran away from them. "Yugi!" they all called out. But Yugi couldn't hear them… he could just hear Atemu's voice…. The voice he'll never be able to hear ever again. He ran and ran…. Until he couldn't tell which part of Egypt it is. He was lost…. But, he doesn't care about it. He sat down somewhere in the middle of the cliffs and continued to think about Atemu.
Atemu on the other hand… could watch what his Aibou's doing. He's as sad as Yugi but, he never shows it. In the fields of the afterlife, he's with his old friends and family. His mother who kept watching him, felt sad and so helpless. She went towards Atemu and talked to him. "Son? Whatever's troubling you? Would you like to share it with your mom?" she asked. Atemu smiled and told his mom it's nothing, then he turned away and walked off. His mom was very much saddened and wished she could do something to make her son feel better. She watched over Yugi while Atemu was working in the fields with Mahado and Mana.
Yugi was still sobbing when he heard something. A woman's voice… it sounded so sweet and harmless so he looked up. To his horror… he saw a floating cloud image of a woman. From her style of dressing, Yugi could tell she must be an Egyptian, a rich Egyptian. He pushed his back against the cliff and remained still as the Egyptian woman floated towards him. "Be not afraid little one. I am not here to harm you." she spoke. Yugi's still wide-eyed but, he believed the woman. "She doesn't look bad" he thought. He relaxed a little and sat up straight. The woman smiled at Yugi but, Yugi could see that she was sad. He was about to ask something when the woman spoke again "I am troubled for my son, Atemu. He seems so sad ever since he came back from your world. And, I cannot do anything to help him." "Atemu's mom? She's his mom!" Yugi told himself.
"Wha… what do you want from me then?" Yugi asked
She looked at him straight in the eye and saw Atemu in him. Atemu… A name that repeats in her head like a wild drum. She turned her away from Yugi and said "Go back to your friends young one. My son is worried about you, and he wants you safe like when he was with you." After those words…. She vanished from Yugi's sight. Yugi tried to go after her but, it was all in vain. He didn't know where he is and he doesn't know how he got there. He turned and tears streamed down from his eyes to his cheeks. Suddenly, he heard Atemu's voice. He ran towards it, never minding where the voice will lead him to. He shouted "Atemu! Where are you?" He ran and ran until he could see something familiar, a shadow of someone. He stopped and stood there, waiting to see who it is. When it came closer, he saw Jonouchi. " Jonouchi-kun! I'm here!" Yugi shouted. Jonouchi saw him and ran towards him "Yugi! Where have you been? We've been looking for you!" Jonouchi yelled out while running. Yugi smiled and said "I just had to find myself." Jonouchi stopped running… obviously confused to what Yugi said. Yugi just smiled and ran past Jonouchi… "Whoever gets to the others last is gonna treat everyone to dinner!" Yugi shouted. Jonouchi ran too and caught up with Yugi. They both smiled at each other and called the others. When they saw Yugi they celebrated, except for Kaiba who doesn't seem interested at all. Kaiba turned away, but, before he left… he told Yugi something "This doesn't mean Yugi that you're not my rival anymore. I swear that when I get the chance to defeat you; I will." With those words, Kaiba walked off, disappearing into the clouds made by the sand. Yugi looked still in the direction where Kaiba disappeared while Jonouchi and the others were talking and chatting happily. Jonouchi noticed that Yugi was so silent so he asked "Hey Yugi! Now what are we gonna do? Go back to Japan now or party here?"
"I don't know. I'm not sure of anything. But, I did figure one thing." Yugi answered without looking.
"What is it?" his friends eagerly asked
"That one day, we'll be apart to take on our roads. And our memories of friendship will just remain as memories, like Atemu." He replied sadly.
Their faces marked that Yugi was telling the truth and that soon they'll have to be apart. Anzu stood up, took a deep breath and said with a smile "Well, that's true. But, whatever happens, we're still friends, and we have now to spend with each other." Honda and Jonouchi happily stood up and agreed with Anzu. They all stretched their hands towards Yugi who was gonna stand up. Yugi looked up to them and he saw their smiles… he finally smiled at them and took all their hands and they helped him up.
Atemu, who was on the fields of the afterlife, also smiled and placed his hand above the hands of his friends, two worlds, joined together by memories and friendship. He continued smiling… and finally said these words that released him from Yugi and the others…. "Good Bye…. Aibou." It was different from the last time. Not because he's now in the afterlife…. but, because those words came from the heart. Atemu's mom looked at his son, and smiled as well. Her heart has been relieved to see that her son's finally achieved peace in his heart and soul. Now, Mahado, Mana and the other souls that have been sleeping in the cards, were finally released and has been allowed peace in the afterlife.
Yes… it seems like a good ending for all, but then, nothing will start anymore….
