Well…here it is.
Enjoy!

Since I already made this before the last chapter, I'm putting it up now. It actually took me a longer time to write this actually.

Epilogue:

Graduation was finally here. The "gang" including me all kinda separated after tenth grade. But Yugi and Yami, Otogi and Honda, and Ryou and Bakura were still together. We still talked a little, but I guess that's what happens after you go home for the summer. Mom was a little nicer to me. We weren't close, but we weren't exactly enemies either.

She let me go see Kaiba during that one summer. When we were…together. But he lived an hour or so away. Mom would actually bring me over to his house once in a while. He was…very rich I must say.

Here's the thing…we kinda lost contact after that summer. Yeah, we broke up. I can still remember that day perfectly.

FLASHBACK

"Jou…can we talk?" I was just walking out of the school to go for a walk.

"Sure." Instead of walking by myself, Kaiba came with.

"Listen, I know we haven't spent that much time together. And…we never talk-"

"You wanna break up." It was more of a statement than a question. My heart dropped. But I knew this was gonna happen.

"Are you mad?"

I smiled and placed my hand on his shoulder. "No. I exactly understand." And that was the truth. Breaking up would probably be the best thing. No matter how much it hurt.

"Good." We walked in silence until we got back to school. It wasn't an awkward silence at all though. It was actually peaceful.

"So…I'll see you later?" I nodded. We hugged each other and separated.

END FLASHBACK

I'll always remember tenth grade. That was the best year or so of my life. I met the most amazing people and I'll never regret that. Everyone else was still together.

Malik…we never saw him again. We heard that he moved somewhere far away and was attending another boarding school. I was meaning to try and find him so we could write letters…but I was so busy I never got around to it.

Marik was still attending here. He was still that player. He had another…"boyfriend." He'll never change.

I bumped into Ryou the other day. He said that he and Bakura would be getting married in another half year or so. I'm glad that he would invite me to the wedding. I would be happy to attend. I'm even happier that Bakura proposed to him.

I never really saw Yuugi and Yami that much. When I did, we just waved to each other.

I didn't have any classes with anyone but Ryou. We had algebra together, but never really talked.

So now…I'm at the graduation party.

"Jou!" I looked to my right, smiled, and rushed over.

"Hey guys!" The whole gang; everyone, including Kaiba were there. For the rest of the party we were exactly the way we were in tenth grade; maybe a little more mature though. We laughed, playfully hit, and brought up memories of our great times together.

"We have to promise to stay in touch." Ryou added just for the heck of it. We all exchanged our cell and home numbers knowing that, most likely we wouldn't be calling each other.

I was happy to see all of them again. Just to be near them and talk to them was perfect.


"Hey Shizuka…" I kneeled in front of my sister's grave. "I'm hoping you're doing good. I am great for once. Sorry I haven't visited…I've been busy with looking at colleges and stuff. Mom and I seem to be closer than we used to be. She said she'd pay for half of college if I kept up with my half. Kaiba and I broke up…my heart is still healing, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I wish you were here right now, but I bet you're happy in heaven." I smiled, placed the flowers in front of her grave and walked away.

We all still kept in touch a little actually. Sometimes I'd get a call from Honda or whoever just to say hi.

Ryou even kept his promise and invited me to his wedding. That'd be in two weeks.

I smiled up at the sky. Drama, sadness, madness, happiness, hate, and love; they were all worth it. A tear slid down my face.

"I'm so happy I met all you guys."

Don't hate me . I really do like this story. EVERYTHING. The epilogue makes this even better. I'm glad Jou found happiness instead of being all depressed like he was in the beginning. I'm proud of myself xD
