Chapter Six

 

Yugi and Jou were walking down the street when Yugi's cell rang causing both him and Jou to jump.

 

“Hello”

 

“Yugi its Kaiba meet me at the game shop.”

 

“Is Yami with you?” Yugi asked as he heard a click and then a dial tone.

 

“Who was dat?” Jou looked at Yugi.

 

“Kaiba, come on lets go back to the shop.” Yugi spoke as he and Jou ran all the way there.

 

 

 

They stood outside the game shop when Kaiba's silver BMW pulled up.

 

Seto rolled down Mokuba's window. “Get in.” He stated.

 

“What? Where's Yami?” Yugi asked as he stared at Kaiba who had a vacant look on his face.

 

“Just get in!” Kaiba snapped trying to hold his emotions at bay.

 

“Wait jus' a minute Kaiba you can't talk to us like dat'!” Jou yelled as he shook his fist.

 

Mokuba looked from Seto to Jou and then finally to Yugi. “Please Yugi just get in.” He softly spoke not trusting his voice to say it any louder.

 

Jou looked at Yugi who shrugged as he opened the back door. Jou and him both got inside and looked from Kaiba to Mokuba wondering what was going on.

 

 

 

The drive was silent. No one said a word until they reached their destination. Yugi looked at the sign and eyes got even bigger than normal.

 

“Domino Memorial why are we here, Kaiba?” The CEO said nothing but got out of the car and briskly walked toward the entrance.

 

Seto made his way up towards the receptionist and the rest saw her nod and point to the elevator and Kaiba motioned for the rest to follow him.

 

“What happened is Yami alright?” Yugi asked starting to panic.

 

“Yeah Kaiba where are we headin' to?” Jou asked as he stepped into the elevator beside Yugi. Kaiba said nothing as the elevator moved upwards then came to a quick halt.

 

The doors opened and they made their way down the hall. Kaiba stopped at a room with two huge windows. Yugi and Jou gasped at what they saw, doctors and nurses huddled around Yami. Blood was everywhere as they tried frantically to get it to stop.

 

Mokuba looked up at the heart monitor and clasped his hands over his mouth as he saw it flat line. The doctor then pulled out a set of paddles to try and get Yami's heart started again.

 

Seto, Yugi, Jou and Mokuba stood in horror as they saw Yami's body jump from the electricity running through the paddles. Finally the doctor stopped and looked at the clock.

 

“Kaiba they stopped why did they stop!” Yugi yelled as he held on to Jou's arm.

 

Seto looked up with tears in his eyes as Mokuba sobbed into his brothers' trench coat.

 

Yugi looked from Seto to Yami then back towards Seto.

 

“No…No….No Yami!” Yugi screamed as he ran into the operating room. He ran full speed up to Yami's side and grabbed his hand.

 

“What are you doing?” The doctor looked at the young boy. “Get him out of here!” He shouted as he looked at the two nurses. The two nurses walked up to Yugi and grabbed both of his arms.

 

“No let me go I want to stay with Yami!” He exclaimed as he thrashed around finally getting out of their grasp.

 

“Let him see Yami or I will have all of you fired!” Kaiba barged into the room.

 

The doctor looked at who it was. “Mr. Kaiba…sir.” The doctor was cut off by Seto stepping closer.

 

“Yugi had every right to see Yami and you will not stop him.” Seto growled as he got inches from the doctors face.

 

Yugi was back at Yami's side tears streaming down his face. “H…how?” He asked as he ran his hands through Yami's wet hair.

 

The doctor looked from Kaiba to Yugi.

 

“He sustained massive head trauma and internal bleeding. We did everything we could, I'm sorry. We will leave you to say your goodbyes.” He walked out and the nursed followed.

 

“Why Yami? Please come back to me. I need you…please.” Yugi cried into Yami's still chest.

 

Seto, Jou and Mokuba watched with tears in their eyes. Seto looked at Yami's face and let more tears fall. His face was pale and had cuts, scrapes and so much blood.

 

Seto stepped forward and placed his hand on over Yami's eyes that had been open and gently closed them.

 

Yugi was still lying on Yami's chest crying for his lost friend when Seto placed a hand gently on his back.

 

Yugi sobbed into his chest until he finally stood and kissed his dark one last time on the forehead and walked out of the room. Jou and Mokuba followed leaving Seto in the room.

 

He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed and held Yami's hand. It was already cold and Seto looked at how blue his lips where.

 

“Yami I will miss you more than you will ever know. You have been through so much and you have come back before. I pray this time you will too, but if there is no chance then you can finally rest after three millennia.” Seto leaned and kissed Yami's cheek.

 

“It is too late now but I love you my Pharaoh and always have.” Seto stood and made his way toward the door. He glanced back at Yami once more before he closed the door.

 

Yugi sat in between Jou and Mokuba crying uncontrollably. “Why him…why Yami…he…has always been there.” He cried into his hands.

 

Seto walked over and kneeled in front of him. “Come on Yugi let's go and you can stay with us tonight.” As he placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder.

 

Yugi looked up and met Seto's stare, the pain filled stare made Yugi grab hold of Seto around the neck. “R…really?”

 

Seto placed his arms around Yugi in a light hug. “Yes now come on you need to rest.”

 

Yugi pulled back and saw that Kaiba was being honest. “Okay.”

 

He stood and made his way toward the elevator with the others. As the doors began to close Yugi took one last glance at the room Yami was in.

 

“Good bye Yami, my dark.”

At the Kaiba mansion, Seto opened the door to Mokuba's room and found his brother sleeping peacefully. He shut the door and made his way to the guest room that Yugi was staying in.

 

He opened the door and saw that Yugi was finally asleep after he had given him something that would help. Seto shut the door quietly and made his way downstairs to the living room. He sat on the couch and placed his head in his hands.

 

Tomorrow was going to be a tough day for them all as they needed to make preparations for Yami's funeral. Seto had called Sugoroku and told him the news and he was catching the earliest flight he could to be there for his grandson. Seto was about to head upstairs when he heard a noise from the dining room.

 

He walked in and saw nothing out of place and nobody was there. He shrugged and made his way to the kitchen to take some sleeping pills then head to bed to get some much needed sleep.

 

He made his way to the bedroom and lay down on the bed and soon was asleep and in a vivid dream.

 

The air was damp as if a light rain had fallen and noticed the beautiful colors of the trees red, yellow, orange and some green. He looked around and saw familiar tri colored hair. He walked over and the person turned to look at him.

 

Crimson eyes that had captured his heart stared into his eyes.

 

 

“Yami” Seto breathed.

 

“Thank you Seto.” Yami spoke with a quiet voice.

 

“For what?”

 

“Taking care of my aibou since I can no longer.” He walked closer toward Seto and gently took his hand in his.

 

Crimson met sapphire and in that moment Seto was lost in his thoughts.

 

“Yami what…?”

 

“Shhh Seto I heard and saw everything.”

 

“You did?” Seto looked down and tilted his head.

 

“Yes, just know that I do love you as well. Ever since you where my high priest.” Yami leaned closer as he finished.

 

“Yami…I…” Seto was cut off as Yami pressed his lips to Seto's.

 

Seto was lost in his emotions as Yami pulled away. “Promise me something Seto?” He whispered.

 

“Anything” Seto looked into Yami's eyes.

 

“Please take care of Yugi for me and know that one day we will be together again.” Yami spoke as he began to fade.

 

“I will watch over Yugi.”

 

Yami looked up and saw the tears in Seto's eyes.

 

“If there is anyway for me to return to Yugi and you I will, but if not please remember me.” Yami then faded away.

 

“I will never forget you Yami.” Seto spoke as he walked over toward the stream and cried as he sat on the bank. He wanted nothing more than to see Yami again.

 

 

 

Seto awoke sweating with tears in his eyes. He looked over at the clock and saw it was seven in the morning. `It was just a dream.' Seto thought as he got out of bed and headed downstairs.

 

He brewed some coffee and with cup in hand sat at the table turning his laptop on.

 

He got on the phone and arranged the funeral and to help Yugi and Sugoroku paid for everything. He got off the phone and walked to the huge bay window. `Yami, I miss you we all do.' He said to himself as he watched the rain fall.

Everyone showed up for Yami's funeral and watched as the thick grey clouds rolled in threatening rain.

 

Yami lay in a beautiful black casket with his hands laying one on top of the other on his stomach. He looked as though he was in a peaceful slumber. He looked beautiful and everyone was in awe as they approached the casket.

 

Seto had seen that he was wearing a beautiful black suit with a black silk dress shirt and red tie.

 

Bakura had helped with the Pharaohs make-up so that it held a royal look. Black kohl lined his eyes as he also had tiny gold sparkles in his hair and lightly on his eye lids.

 

Seto walked up and laid two roses into the casket one sapphire and the other crimson.

 

“You will be missed by all of us. You were a good friend and exceptional duelist and I am going to hold a tournament in your honor.” Seto walked toward Mokuba who was sitting in the first row of chairs.

 

Sugoroku and Yugi walked up next and laid white and lavender roses beside of Seto's. “Yami you were like a grandson to me and I truly did love you. I will miss you and may the Gods welcome you home after three millennia.”

 

Yugi placed his hand over top of Yami's.

 

“My other I love you so much. You were my brother and the best I could have ever wished for. I will always hold you in my heart.” Yugi started sobbing as his jii-chan placed a hand on his shoulder.

 

“P…please remember me.” He sobbed as he stood and made his way towards Seto with Sugoroku helping him.

 

After everyone had left one still remained behind.

 

Bakura walked up and placed a hand on Yami's as he said a prayer in Egyptian over the pharaoh.

 

“You are free now Pharaoh may Anubis welcome you with open arms as you travel to the afterlife.” Bakura stood and felt a cold breeze he turned to look behind him, but no one was there.

 

Then a whisper made it to his ears. “Thank you tomb robber.”

 

Bakura smiled and knew now that the pharaoh had forgiven him for all the mistakes and pain he had caused. He walked out to join the rest who had gathered outside and back to his loving hikari, not noticing the figure standing at the head of the casket.

 

Crimson eyes watched Bakura walk away then looked out the window as the rain began to fall. Yami walked out of the room and toward the entrance. He took one look behind him as the casket lid was closed.

At the cemetery everyone had watched as the casket was lowered into the ground as the rain had finally began to fall.

 

Yami watched as his friends cried and whispered their good byes to him. Seto and Yugi stood at the grave for a long time before finally joining the rest of their friends.

 

Yami watched as the limo pulled away and headed out of the cemetery. He turned around and kneeled in front of his grave stone. He read the inscription as tears formed in his eyes.

 

Yami Atemu Motou

June 4, 1984 - October 7, 2005

`Great brother, friend and duelist, you will be greatly missed. We all love you.'

 

`Well they had to make up a date since I am really 3,000 years old.' Yami thought as he looked at the grave stone that also had hieroglyphs on the bottom. He read those as well as he traced them with his transparent hand.

 

`In memory of our Pharaoh'

`Yours Always'

`High Priest'
