Author's note: update! Thanks to those who reviewed, by the way (can't remember your name whoever this is…) Kaiba is one of my favorite characters too, it's just so easy to make him a bad guy or a good guy. Plus besides Pegasus he's the only bad guy with the rescores to do this…and Pegasus is weird… well enjoy!

Abandoned Tears
Chapter 8
The darkness. It was everywhere. Not again! Am I dead? What's going on?
Yami felt as though he where floating. All he remembered was Kaiba shooting, then a blinding pain then blackness…was he dead? Or was he back in the puzzle again…he hoped not…he hoped Yugi was ok…wait…was that light?
Yami looked towards what appeared to be the light at the end of the tunnel…yup…he was dead.
"Come home, my son…" wait…he recognized that voice…
"F-Father?"
"You have served your purpose my son…now come home with your family…" There was a glowing light and his father and mother appeared in front of the ex-pharaoh, his father's outstretched hand beckoning him. Yami felt his heart swell in happiness…he was finally going home…to his resting place. He reached for his father's outstretched hand but stopped as he heard another familiar voice calling to him…
"Y-Yami…please come back…" He looked down to see Yugi crying over his body in the hospital.
'Yugi! Thank Ra he's ok!' Yami felt his heart ache as he heard Yugi's sobbing.
"It's not fair! Why him?! Oh, Yami, please come back to me!" Yami's heart clenched at the pain he was causing his aibou. He looked back at his father, who seemed to be reading his mind.
"…My son…you have a choice…you can either return to your final resting place…or return to the boy." Yami blanched. He had to choose? How could he choose between his family and his hikari?…well he supposed he could remain with his hikari until he died again and then return to his family.
As though guessing what was on his mind, his father placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Son…if you choose to return to life to be with your aibou…you cannot return to the afterlife."
Yami looked up in surprise.
"What do you mean?" His father looked sadly at his son.
"Should you choose to return…if you die again you will go back into the puzzle and the whole process will start all over again."
Yami couldn't believe his ears. It took him over 5000 years to get to this point. If he returned to help Yugi he would be trapped in the puzzle again rather then moving on? It wasn't fair!
"Well son? It's your choice. The afterlife, or the puzzle." Yami thought it over. What should he choose?
To Be Continued…
