Friday 13th today. Damn, I always hate Bad Luck Day... Ah, well, who doesn't? Luckily, that's not stopped me from posting on-time. As for the question I asked last chapter, so far it looks like I'll be making the word cap 600, but the idea of Monarchshipping has had mixed views. Right now I'll be making neither change, but will be still seeing if anybody else has an answer to my questions. No pun intended, since that was this drabble's theme. This one is Puzzleshipping, and post-canon, just so you know.

Without further ado, enjoy!

#11 - Questions

Words - 200

Yuugi often wondered why Yami had chosen to leave the afterlife behind. After all, it sounded like an amazing place to be.

Why?

Why return at all?

What about his family? Friends? No doubt Mana missed him. Seth, too, although he'd probably be too concerned with the thought of damaging his ego to show it. This thought made Yuugi smile.

'Just like Kaiba-Kun... I wonder why he returned, though? What could possibly be better for him here?'

He exited the kitchen, coming to stand by Yami, who was currently relaxing on the sofa.

"Mou Hitori No Boku?" said teen looked up curiously. "Why come back? Why leave the afterlife? "

To his surprise, Yami smiled warmly, getting to his feet and standing in front of him.

"There was someone I just couldn't bear to leave behind, right here. Someone who matters more to me than anyone else," was the response as crimson pools gazed into violet. "That's why." The last part was spoken in a whisper.

For some unknown reason, Yuugi felt his chest constrict at these words.

"W-who?" What made him stammer like that?

Yami smiled warmly, and Yuugi was suddenly aware that Yami was stood much closer than before. He answered.

"...You, of course."

He was pulled into a loving hug.

Gah... Another short one. Sorry if it didn't live up to your expectations, guys. But we're back to 500 words for another few, soon! And there's a surprise coming up in... three more chapters! o3o

Thank you to everyone who reviewed the previous chapter, I hope to hear more from you! ^^

Again (only if you haven't already given a response, of course):

• Should I increase the word cap to 600?

• Should I add Monarchshipping to the pairing list?

If you HAVE already shared your view, thank you! If you haven't, please do! Although I still want to know how this one was. If you notice any bad grammar, repetition, hoped for more or just generally want to tell me what you thought of it, please review! ^.~
