(Author’s Notes: Hello. Since many of you have requested that this fanfic be continued, I shall honor you request. This marks a special day for Yugi Motou.
Darien: This chapter is the conclusion, but it features a touching scene that brings Mana and Yugi closer then ever. We hope you enjoy it.
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion from the movie Titanic. Now, on with the fanfic!)
The date is October 15th, 2005. About two years has passed since Yugi inherited the mansion estate due to Mana Eternum (a.k.a. Dark Magician Girl). Ever since that fateful day, he was reaching his full potential. His servants took good care of him, and vice-versa. He went on dates, outings, and mini-field trips with his female friends. But, today was different.
Mana and Yugi… they were planning to tie the knot. Yes, folks. They were getting married.
Everyone that knew Yugi was invited the wedding, adding up to 90 guests. One of the guests turned out to be Téa Gardner, surprisingly. A year ago, she had realized what a fool she was for treating Yugi so badly. She tried to find him, but she was turning up empty. Until a schoolgirl from Sakura School for Girls (I’m bad for original names. ^_^) told her friend that her tutor was awesome and cute. Her tutor was Yugi.
Making tracks fast, she took a monorail train to where the school was. Upon entering, she saw beauty that could only exist in fantasy. The school grounds were huge, and the place kept neat and tidy. The buildings were of old-tradition Japanese architecture, but dotted with enough modern technology to satisfy the students. The students themselves were radiant in their own, unique way.
Téa asked the students about Yugi, and the girls gave her directions to the mansion. Upon arriving there, via taxicab, the brunette was stunned silly on seeing the mansion. ‘Yugi lives here?!’ was the thought before collecting herself and going in.
She came upon hostile female servants, Aya, Kita, and Ichi included. The girls had heard and known about Téa during Natsumi’s briefing, and they would not allow the girl to harm their friend/master as she did in the past. Téa was stunned by their display of hostility, and tried to calm the situation down.
It only calmed down when Yugi came in, Mana by his side. Téa was really surprised to see on how much Yugi changed, physically at least. She winced a bit when she saw him pull Mana close to him tight, and a slight look of fear in his eyes. Mana wrapped an arm around him and just stared neutrally at Téa. The three went inside the mansion to talk, the rest outside and hearing the conversation however they could.
Téa apologized to Yugi, saying that she was a fool to ignore him and treat him bad. Yugi was a bit wary, but he accepted her apology. Mana, however, wanted a little insurance to make sure Téa was true to her word and not waiting to hurt Yugi again. She made her promise to come by frequently and help out with the chores.
The brunette agreed, but on a more drastic level. She quit her job at Burger World and worked as a member of the house staff at the mansion. Needless to say, it shocked a lot of people. Yugi agreed to this on one condition; that she take up her dream again of becoming a dancer. She wholeheartedly accepted, and she was now working as a maid while using the mansion’s gym area to practice dancing.
Now, she was all ready to see her friend get married to a woman that had amazing beauty, inside and out. “Go for it, Yugi! You’re taking the ultimate step in a relationship, but I know you both can see it through!” she said to herself.
The guests quieted down when the time came for the ceremony to start. The mansion garden grounds were changed so the wedding could be held there. Coming down the makeshift aisle, above an archway made out of various flowers, were seven men in tuxedos. They were escorting seven lovely ladies in dark pink silk dresses.
‘This is it!’ Téa thought as she saw her friend come down the aisle. Yugi was walking in a very sharp tuxedo that was made out of the purest silk. He was smiling nervously and was blushing a bit, but he was firm in his resolve. His love and sacrifice for Mana was all worth it.
“Ladies and gentleman, please rise for the arrival of the bride.” the priest that led the wedding spoke up. All rose and the familiar wedding music struck up.
Mana slowly walked down to the aisle, towards the alter where her soon-to-be husband was waiting for her. Her heart pounded like a bass drum and her face a good pink color. She looked to the man that was escorting her to her love, and it was none other then Mahado.
The former Dark Magician, a little earlier was reluctant to leave the Shadow Realm. But, since it was the only opportunity to give his former student away, he took it. He looked down at the now nervous Mana, and chuckled a little. The young woman was so nervous that a small noise could make her jump 15 feet in the air.
‘My, how you have grown and changed, my former student.’ he thought before finally arriving at the alter. He gave the woman a small smile before leaving to the side.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to witness the union of Yugi Motou and Mana Eternum. Let me say that marriage is a very serious and working matter. It requires not only love between the two partners, but sacrifice and cooperation on both of their parts. Understanding and consideration are also a major tool that is required in marriage.” the priest started to say.
Yugi and Mana, as well as the rest of them, understood what the old man was saying. Marriage was nothing to take lightly, and the couple was willing to take any necessary and drastic steps to make sure that their relationship would be healthy and thriving.
“Now, for the vows.” the priest stated. He held up two golden wedding bands, giving one to Yugi. “Now Yugi Motou, do you take Mana Eternum to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, to comfort in sickness and health, to honor and love her, to be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?”
Yugi took the ring and slid it on Mana’s right ring finger. “I do.” he answered seriously.
The priest took the other ring, gave it to Mana, and repeated the vows to her. The young lady did not hesitate to slide the ring on Yugi’s ring finger. “I do” she said.
“If there is anyone here who thinks that these two should not be joined, speak now or forever hold your piece.” the old man stated. No one breathed a word, which was good for both the couple.
“By the power invested in me by the nation of Japan, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss…” the priest started to say, but was cut off when both Yugi and Mana embraced one another and shared a powerful, passionate kiss.
“I give to you all Yugi and Mana Motou!!” was the exclamation. All cheered, clapped, and many females cried in happiness. Aya and the rest of the household staff were very happy and proud that Yugi and Mana tied the knot.
“Now, let us celebrate!!” Yugi exclaimed. He and his wife made their way out of the area and towards the mansion. Everyone followed the newlywed couple towards the mansion for the reception.
Téa was lagging a little bit behind, just thinking on how much Yugi had changed and grown into such a fine young man. ‘He’s changed so much on the outside, but inside he’s still the smart and caring soul I knew from long ago.’ she thought.
A song came from the large home of Yugi and Mana, and it drifted into Téa’s ears and heart. It was a familiar one, one that she heard long ago. “Years ago, I associated myself and Yami to this song. Now, its really more for Yugi and his new wife.” she whispered to herself.
Every night in my dreams, I see you… I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance, and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time, and last for a lifetime
Never let go till we’re one
Love was when I loved you
One true time I told to
In my life we’ll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You’re here, there’s nothing I fear
And I know my heart will go on
We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
