Yami's Pov~

Days have passed since the duel in the shadow realm, and it seems almost to have calmed down to peaceful here.

With Ryou, him no longer having to worry about Bakura, now was able to spend more time with me and Yugi. He seemed happier than he had been in a long time.

Yugi was still sort of wiped out from all he endured while trapped with Bakura. I mean, even that collar thing wouldn't come off of Yugi, no matter what spells we used on it. Now it was off though, but not by us. It seems that strange collar was on Yugi when he had gone to bed, yet it suddenly was no where to be found in the morning. No knew how it dissapeared, though it didn't matter as long as it was gone for good.

Ra know what Yugi endured over there. I'm just glad I got there before anything seriously terrible happened to him. I also still blame myself for everything that happened, no matter how Yugi attempts to convince me otherwise.

Yugi could have died because me, yet he still doesn't blame me. It was a wonder how anyone could forgive me, when it was clearly my fault.

I'm the reason people come after Yugi, for they are after the puzzle or for me. I'm the reason just about everything that is bad happens to Yugi! Suddenly I hault in my thoughts when I realize Yugi is entering the soul room.

Dang, I forgot to close off our mindlink. Yugi must have heard every thought I just had.

"Yami, are you okay?" I hear Yugi call to me, as he entered my soul room. I vaugly realize this exactly what happened the same night, everything started. My back is turned on Yugi, exactly the way it was that night. The only difference between now and that night is two things. One: This was different topic. Two: This time it was going to end different.

"Yami, did you hear me?" Yugi asks, since I haven't answered him. I let out a sigh, preparing an answer.

I can't let Yugi know the truth, it would only hurt him. I tell myself, about to tell Yugi I was fine, but Yugi's next words stopped me.

"Yami, don't lie to me, please. You should know I can see right through your lies. It would only insult the bond we share for you to lie right now." Yugi stated, leaving me in shock.

"How did you-" I began, when I realize that Yugi didn't need to listen through the mindlink to tell I was upset, he just knew me that well... Too well.

"Yugi, I just don't want to burden you with my own troubles. But I promise I won't lie to you anymore." I say, honestly.

"Yami, your not a burden to me. If your a burden to me, then I'm a burden to you. Now, please, turn around and prove to me you're going to tell the truth." Yugi was firm and I had no choice, but to comply to his wishes.

"Yugi, believe me when I say I never meant to hurt you at all. I thought I was helping you. I thought I was protecting to you. Now I see I was doing nothing of the sort, of all things I was doing the complete opposite. So, please, forgive me." I hung my head in shame, unable to look at Yugi, even though I'm facing him. I wait for a responce, only to feel him tug at my hand.

"Come on, Yami" Yugi whispered, leading me to his soul room. Before I know it, we have already crossed the halway inbetween our soul rooms and are entering Yugi's. I lift my head slightly, to take in the full view of his soul room, only to be left in awe. I barely ever entered in here, for I never want to intrude on my dear friends personal secrets. Besides, I knew tat Yugi had no reason to lie to me, so I had no reason to.

Too bad I hadn't though about that earlier. I stopped looking around as Yugi led me to the single bed in his soul room since it was the only place to sit on here.

"Yami, why do you still blame yourself for something you couldn't control? Plus, why do you keep lieing to me about how you really feel?" Yugi questioned me, getting right to the point. I still wondered when Yugi had began getting so mature.

"Because, Yugi, it's my job to protect you and I failed you. I still want to protect you, even if that means I will hurt myself by not telling you what I go through." I answered both questions before adding something else.

"Yugi, you've changed haven't you." I didn't ask Yugi, I told him. Even though I was rarely in his soul room, I had entered here enough to notice the changes to it. I noticed that the toys scattered around were different, there was less of them and the ones there seemed to be more for Yugi's age group than before. The walls were no longer that bright yellow, but looked like a stone wall that was similar to my own. Yugi's soul room was changing... because Yugi was.

"Yes, I guess I am. Why are you saying this." Yugi answered plus asked, softly.

"I'm briging this up because you've gotten older, your even starting to gain traits similar to me. The ironic thing is, I don't if that's good or bad." I answered simply. Yugi needed to know this, even if he didn't want to.

"What are you getting at?" Yugi asked, figiting. Probally getting nervous from confusion or because he already knew where I was heading.

"You don't want me to lie to you anymore, so that's what I'm doing. I'm trying to tell you, that soon you won't need me. Whether either of us like it, we both know that my time with you is ending. As we get closer to me finding my memories, the harder our challenges get and the closer my time here is ending." I stated sadly, letting Yugi take it all in. There was a silence after this. No one wanted to speak up so eventually I made the move to get up to leave when Yugi stopped me.

"Yami, I know what your saying is true, but isn't that just more of a reason to spend all the time we have left together." Yugi said, pulling me back.

"I guess it is." I say after a while. After I said that I didn't leave, I would only leave if Yugi told me to. He never did even as night came, we sat together saying nothing, jus enjoying each others company. Soon I noticed Yugi staring to lean on me, later I would observ his even breathing and know he had fallen asleep. I gently moved Yugi onto his soul rooms's bed. This time I was actually going to leave, yet again Yugi prevented me from doing so.

"Yami, wait." Yugi begged, sleepingly.

"What is it, Yugi?" I ask, sencing he wants to ask me something.

"I wanted to ask you, what if-" Yugi began, before hesitating.

"Go ahead, Yugi. If I'm going to tell you the truth from now on, shouldn't you?" I was starting to wonder what would cause Yugi to hesitate. He just about never hesitated to ask me something before.

"It's just, what if things didn't go the way you wanted in that duel? What if you had lost to, Bakura? What would have happened?" Yugi asked, almost to himself.

"Yugi, I don't know what would happend, but it didn't happend and that is what should matter. Now, go to sleep, you know you need it." I tell Yugi, waiting for him to say something else. He never doid and seemingly satisfied with that answer Yugi went to sleep.

"Goodnight, Yugi." I whisper, leaving. Right before his door closes though, I hear a small, "Goodnight, Yami."

I close the soul room door and I leave with a true smile only Yugi could bring.~

THE END, or not...

Scarlet: Dang it, tell the readers its the end!

Oh, right, all right. This story has ended, but come back here one last time to see the suprise chapter.

Yami: Are you going to tell us what the suprise is yet. I mean you might as well.

Sure, but you won't like it, the suprise is I'm witing an ALTERNATING ENDING TO THE SHADOW GAME YAMI WON!

Yugi: Awww,(bleeeeeeeepppp)

Yami: What the heck do you mean, "alternate ending?

Next time I'm writing a chapter where you never won and Bakura did. Also since this version is done, I will be MAKING A SEQUAL TO THE ALTERNATE ENDING WHERE BAKURA WON! muhahahahha!

Davi: Go Bakura!

Yami: Shut up! This is terrible, what type of twisted thing is going to happen when Bakura wins?

Now that I can not reveal till next chapter(alternate ending) plus the sequal to that chapter, which will be a whole new story.

Yugi: Don't let her take me. I've suffered enough!

Yami: You? Think of what she's going to do to me!

Davi: Well, since I'm satisfied, there is only to things to say. One, in your faces Yami and Yugi, Hahaha your going to die!

Yami: You know I don't thinks Davi's as innocent as she used to be.

Yugi: Maybe her Yami took over her.

Davi: Speaking of Yami's the second thing I have to say is to Mystery Agent...(Turns to Mystery Agent)...SCARLET, GET OUT OF MYSTERY AGENT'S
BODY!

Scarlet in Mystery Agen't body: Dang, I thought no one would know. (leaves back to seperate body)

Don't ever do that again, Scarlet!

Scarlet: Whatever, let's go already! Now remember readers, come back here one more time to see the alternate ending chapter, especially if you want to understand the sequal. BYE NOW!

Mystery Agent OUT!~ (not permantely, you haven't gotton rid of me yet!)

Davi: Get out of her body, Scarlet!

Scarlet: Dang, foiled again! (leaves Mystery Agent before running with Mystery Agent chasing her with an axe)

(P.S. If you look closely to every time they show Yugi's soul room, it does change from those bright yellow with ballons plus little kids toys to stone looking walls, less toys, and the ones there do look like they are for older kids.)

Mystery Agent OUT!~ (yes, its me this time, or is it?)
