After Yugi had calmed down, everyone walked back into the hospital. Everyone stopped near Emily's room, and Yugi knew what he had to do.

"Do you want us to go in with you?" Tristan asked. Yugi looked at his friends and shook his head.

"No. I'll be ok, besides...This is something I need to do alone." Atem stepped next to him,

"Not exactly. I kept the secret as well." Yugi looked at him. "I must go with you to tell Emily." Yugi understood and nodded.

"Ok." As both walked in, Tea looked at Sarah and said,

"I'm really worried about those two. More about Yugi though...I feel like I should help him out more, being his childhood friend and all." Sarah wrapped an arm around her and smiled,

"Remember, we're all there for them." Tea smiled back and nodded. "After all, Yugi always knows that he has his childhood girlfriend her for him." Sarah said as she winked. Tea ultimately blushed and pushed her away,

"Kn-Knock it off!" Sarah chuckled as Joey leaned in,

"Yugi and Tea sittin in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-" Tea then gave Joey her famous "upside the head slap". "Gee that hurt..." Tea and Sarah both laughed as Joey pouted; Tristan giving him a pat on the back. Yugi and Atem seemed to have walked quietly into Emily's room, because Emily, who was reading a book, didn't look up from up. Yugi was hesitant before saying,

"Emily?" Emily looked up, and they saw she was wearing reading glasses. She smiled at the two,

"Hello Yugi, Atem." Atem blushed a little at Emily's appearance. Her sweet smile was only enhanced by her reading glasses, which brought out her face more. But he snapped out of his thoughts when Emily spoke again, "You feel better Yugi? You seemed out of it when you left the room." Yugi tensed up, but nodded and smiled,

"Y-Ya, I feel a bit better..." Emily took off her reading glasses and placed them and her book on the window next to her.

"That's good. I thought something bad had happened, well, besides the obvious that is." Emily chuckled at this. This however, punched Yugi in the stomach. It didn't really have a great effect on Atem either, it made him extremely uncomfortable. Emily blinked as her eye brows knitted together, "O-Oh I'm sorry...Maybe that was a bad joke."

"No...I-It's not that..." Yugi said. His hands were clenching the sides of his shirt so hard that they started to shake. "I...I need to tell you something important." Emily tilted her head in concern.

"Oh...ok." Yugi slowly sat down, Atem standing near him.

"Emily...I did...I did something really bad...I've kept something from you, that frankly...Maybe I should've told you about earlier..." Emily became a little tense.

"What are you talking about Yugi?" Yugi was facing the ground, his expression painful.

"I...Your mom...I..." He began to trip up on his words, and this worried Atem.

"Emily, we promised your mom that we wouldn't..." Atem stopped himself. He found that even he couldn't tell Emily. Emily became increasingly worried at the mention of her mother,

"Wh-What about my mother? What did she say?" Yugi started shaking more as tears had again begun to form in his eyes.

"Emily...I-I'm sorry..." He couldn't prevent the tears from falling, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." Emily had begun to feel fear inside her as she felt her voice rising,

"Yugi please, tell me what my mother said!"

"I...She said that I shouldn't..."

"Shouldn't what?"

"I...Can't tell you..."

"What? Can't tell me what?!"

"I..."

"Yugi, TELL ME!"

"STOP IT!" Yugi broke down, his fists were clenched up against his head and his eyes clenched closed. Atem placed both his hands on Yugi's shoulders as the others rushed in. Emily looked at Yugi in shock, realizing that whatever her mother made both Atem and him promise her, was becoming too much for Yugi. Emily became extremely remorseful, and leaned closer to Yugi.

"Y-Yugi?" Yugi opened his eyes and looked at her. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have yelled." Yugi shook his head.

"Emily-"

"It's alright Yugi." Everyone turned to see Iana in a wheel chair being pushed by Emily's father. "I shouldn't have pressured you and Atem with this and I myself am at fault." She closed her eyes. "I made you two promise because I was scared of telling Emily the truth myself." She smiled at everyone. "But now I'm ready to do it myself."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Everyone was standing in front of Emily's room, waiting for the family conference to be done. The group couldn't really hear what Iana and Emily were saying, but Emily's reaction was enough to show she knew what was going to happen. She broke down and her parents hugged her. Yugi walked over to a wall and put his head up against it. Atem followed and placed his hand on Yugi's shoulder. Yugi looked at him,

"Yugi, you did your best. I'll admit that even I couldn't bring myself to tell Emily the truth, but you probably came closer then I did." Yugi mearly nodded and sighed.

"I just..." He paused, as he wiped the remaining tears away from his eyes. "I just wish I was stronger than this. I was able to defeat and overcome so many things-..." He chuckled. "Well, that's was mostly all you." Atem just smiled,

"Yes, but I learned much from you as well. You do remember that right?" Yugi looked towards his look-alike and smiled.

"Ya...Your right." Just then, Emily's father walked out of the room, sighing. Everyone faced him as he said,

"You know, I knew this day would come. Telling Emily the truth and all." He smiled sadly. "I just never knew it'd be..." He paused, and they figured he would say it was hard, but instead, "relieving.." The group looked at him a little shocked. "It was hard yes, but telling Emily something we never should have kept from her just...I can't really explain it." He walked towards the second story window. "Iana and I were both at fault, not just her. Keeping something from someone you love, especially if it's important, is never a good choice." He chuckled at his own words. "Funny...Wish I could take my own advice."

"I feel the same." Everyone look at Sarah. "When I first entered high school, I expected it to be the same as elementary school. Heh, funny right? Well, back in my old school, I never fit in with anyone really. At least, that's how I saw it. Although I constantly helped other people when they felt down, I never took the advice I gave them. I kept thinking that everyone saw me as a weird, stupid girl who never grew up, though that still may be the case." Sarah chuckled at this, as did everyone else. "It took me a while to finally open my eyes and realize that my weirdness is ok and my friends..." She looked towards Bakura and Tea first, then to the rest of the group. "My friends are the reason I am still the person I am today. My family, you guys, and the sheer egearness for what I want to acomplish helps me overcome anything." Everyone smiled and completely agreed. Nothing else really needed to be said, as Emily's mother wheeled herself out of Emily's room.

"She's calmed down a little Ryan." Emily's dad looked at Iana and nodded.

"Thank goodness." Iana looked at Yugi and Atem.

"She wants to see you two."

Remember when things were happy in this story?
