Acceptance
Yugi Moto
Age: 25
Dueling Level 1(high)-10(low): 1
Tournament Entry: #43
Strongest card: Dark Magician
A whole new duel was starting a month after Yugi's 25th birthday, and it would be the third time since Yami was gone that he would face Seto Kaiba. Each time before the duel would end with the spiky haired boy's victory, and this time Yugi planned for it to finish the same way.
The first time he fought Kaiba without Yami was the hardest. He hadn't actually wanted to do it, but with all the harassing from Seto…he really had no choice. All throughout the duel memories of Yami would slip into the smaller boy's mind and distract him from the task at hand.
"What's going on with you, Moto?" Seto questioned. "It's like every time you draw a card you see a ghost."
'I do see a ghost,' Yugi agreed silently in his mind. 'And that ghost is Atem.'
"Oh, no, I'm fine," Yugi reassured Seto with a half-hearted laugh as he kept his eyes on the card in his hand. "It's just a little hard."
"You mean letting Yami go?"
Yugi's eyes widened as he looked from his cards to the taller man that stood in front of him.
"Look, Yugi," Seto continued. "I know you had a VERY special bond with that pharaoh guy, but he had to leave. He just didn't belong here." Yugi gave a sigh, showing that he already knew. "Now it's time to accept the fact that he's gone…and that you can duel even the best without him." Yugi blinked at Kaiba.
"Thanks," Yugi said as he smiled a real smile.
That's what helped Yugi learn that letting go may be hard…but it had to happen. He would always have a place for Yami in his heart, and no one can say otherwise. Sadly, though, it was time for him to say goodbye.
And welcome his acceptance.
Annime: It's a sad idea, but true.
Yami: Please review!
