A Spiderman Story
Chapter 26 - Funeral

-Flashback-

A week past ever so quickly, for me more than everyone else…I tried to avoid Seto as best I could, but then he asked me to come to the funeral. I couldn't let him down, not again…

Yugi, Seto, Mokuba, Tea and Solomon stood over Gozaburo's grave as well as several other people. Yugi looked over at Tea and his grandfather.

'If only they knew,' Yugi thought before he then looked over at his friend Seto, who stood away from the grave and looking out over the hill top. Yugi then walked over to him.

"Hey," Yugi said as Seto snapped out of his trance and turned around to face him. "I'm so sorry Seto, I know what it's like to lose a father."

"I didn't lose him…" Seto replied, before suddenly grabbing Yugi by the collar and held him up to his eye level. "He was stolen from me! Nobody steals form me! One day Spiderman will pay. I swear on my step-fathers grave, Spiderman will pay!"

Suddenly, Kaiba let go of Yugi hit, as he hit the ground hard. Kaiba then started to walk away back to his limo, while Yugi watched him go as he sat on the grass.

"Let's go Mokuba," Kaiba said, not turning around.

"Coming," Mokuba replied as he ran past Yugi and caught up with his brother.

Once Kaiba and Mokuba reached the limo and it drove off, Yugi finally got back up and wiped the dirt off his clothes. Yugi then turn to look back over at Tea and his grandfather before walking on somewhere else, as Tea watched him.

Yugi walked on, as Yami appeared, walking beside him.

/--Are you okay Yugi? --/ He minded linked to him, but Yugi didn't seem to be listening to him.

/-No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, the ones I love will always be the ones who will pay-/

/--What are you talking about--/

But Yugi didn't listen again, he just kept on walking, of which seemed like an eternity until he finally stopped at another grave.

"Rose Moto, Beloved wife, daughter and mother. And, Jack Moto, beloved husband and father," Yugi quietly read off he grave in front of him.

/-Yami, can I be alone for a while-/

/--Sure Yugi--/

Yami suddenly disappeared back into the puzzle hanging around Yugi's neck, as Yugi stood in complete silence while looking down at his parent's grave.

Suddenly, the silence was broken after several minutes had pasted as Yugi heard font steps coming towards him. He instantly turned around to see Tea walking up to him. Once she reached him, she gave him and hug as he hugged her back.

"You must miss them so much," Tea said.

"It's been so hard with out them," Yugi replied as he tried so hard not to cry.

"There's been something I've been wanting to tell you," Tea said as she pulled out of the hug and looked into his eyes. "When I was up there…and I thought I was going to die. There was only one person who I was thing of…and it wasn't who I'd thought it'd be…it was you Yugi!" Tea said as Yugi's eyes widened happily. "I kept on thinking, 'I hope I make it through this, so that I can see Yugi Moto's face one more time'."

"Really?"

"There's only one man who's always been there for me. Who makes me feel like I'm more than I could ever thought I could be. That I'm just…me. And that's okay…but the truth is…I love you!"

Suddenly, Yugi's face dropped.

"I love you so much Yugi!" Tea said before she kissed Yugi on the lips with her hands around the back of his head.

-End Flashback-

"YES!" Mai cheered. "Finally, the two of you got together!" But Mai's cheers were cut short as she saw Yugi wasn't quite as happy. "There's more isn't there?"

Yugi silently nodded before continuing telling the story.

-Flashback-

Tea broke away from the kiss and looked up at Yugi, confused why he didn't kiss her back.

All I wanted was to tell her how much I loved her…

"I can't," Yugi whispered.

"You can't what?" Tea asked.

"Tell you…everything. I mean, there's so much to tell."

"Yeah, there's so much to tell."

"I want you to know…that I will always be there for you. I will always be there to take care of you. I promise you that…I will always be your friend!" Yugi said as Tea's face dropped as well.

"Only a friend, Yugi Moto?" Tea asked, as she sounded upset.

"That's all I have to give," Yugi replied as saw the sadness in her ace with tears running down her cheeks. Yugi then walked past her to walk away, just as Tea suddenly looked up and realised something that seemed quite familiar. She placed her figures up to her lips and then turned to watch Yugi walk away.

-End Flashback-

Yugi suddenly stood up and grabbed his mask, as Mai started weeping at the sad ending.

"Gosh Yugi!" Mai wept.

"After that, Seto, or as he then preferred to be called Kaiba now, took over Kaiba corp. Me and Tea remained friends as we said, although after saying I'd just be her friend, I that's what started her obsession about friendship. We also became friends with Joey and Tristan after we went back to school after I saved them from a bully. Me and Kaiba lost contact, we never spoke to each over again until a couple of months past on and the finally beat him a duel monsters using Exodia. As you've probably seen, I've tried to rebuild our friendship, but it is broken…anyway, then came Duellist Kingdom and then Battle City as I still tried to keep up my Spiderman duties and keep them secret from the gang."

"Wow, so what's next then? For you and Spiderman?"

Yugi remained silent for a while, but then spoke again before putting his mask back on.

"Whatever life has in store for me, I will never forget these words, 'With great power, comes great responsibility.' This is my gift, my curse, who am I? I'm Spiderman!"

Suddenly, Yugi jumped off his apartment building and swung through the city, as Mai watched him go.

THE END…for now
