DMYY- Ok peps, this is the new story. Hope you like and I will try to get over that writers block for `Destiny's' as soon as I can ok. R&R!

Chapter 1- Remembering…

Above the deserted area of a neighborhood game shop, a young teen was sitting as his desk writing down rapid things onto a thin lined sheet of paper. The boy/teen was quite small for his age. Just grassing the height of 5'1'' he could pass off as a young 10 year old. With his wide innocent violet eyes he was considered as a "cute" little boy. His hair made him stand out even more than his height. Exotic tri-colored hair lined his head. He had deep blonde bangs that framed his face and made him look very famine. He also had deep black and red tipped spikes going along the rim of his head. Though they looked to be like plastic, you could run a hand through them easily. Yugi, as many people call him, was working on his homework, to lazy to do it during the day. Yugi stopped for a second, closing his vivid violet eyes. The teen groaned as sleep started to clam his body. Yugi sat up straight again and started writing again. Soon though, the words on the page began to blur and he had to stop again. Yugi turned his eyes to the sun window he had in his room, letting his memory wander back to those previous weeks. Yugi's eyes begin to water at the memory.

(A/N- Spoiler here. Don't want to know what the ending of Yugioh is then do not read on!!)

(Flashback)

"Silent Magician attack!" Yugi screamed, tears already rolling down his checks. His monster leaped up and sprung toward Yami and launched it's attack. The pharaoh winced slightly at the impact but stood up straight afterwards. Their monsters slowly disappeared and opposite of him Yugi fell to the ground in a mix of tears. Yami slowly walked over to his other, slipping his duel disk off of his arm.

"I lost…Aibou," He said smiling. Yugi stayed on the ground, his tears never stopping. Yami leaned down and put a hand onto Yugi's shoulder.

"There's no need to cry Aibou," Yugi looked up slightly. "If I were you I wouldn't' show any tears." Yugi started to cry more as he latched his arms around Yami's waist.

"I-I don't want you to go…" he whispered, his voice muffled Yami's shirt. Yami smiled that one smile that he only gave to Yugi. He placed a finger over Yugi's lips shaking his head.

"Aibou…you have chosen the path I must take…I cannot stay here any longer." Yugi shoulders shook slightly at this as his tears came back. Yami smiled yet again and guided Yugi to his feet. They stared at each other for a second, and then Yami pulled Yugi into a tight embrace.

"I will never forget you my hikari…" Yami whispered into Yugi's hair. He pulled away and turned toward the doorway, slowly letting go of Yugi's hand. Their hands slipping apart as one drew away. Yami slowly turned to the doorway and shouted out his true name.

"Atemu!!!" And at that the great stone doors opened. Yami started to walk into the light, but he turned around once again to look straight into Yugi's eyes.

"Ana bahebek[1]…." He whispered quietly. And at that he turned back to the light and walked. Soon light covered Yami and the doors slowly closed, leaving silence in the underground chamber. Suddenly the area began to collapse. Yugi's eyes widened as he saw the memory tablet falling. He rushed forward in attempt to grab the puzzle. He reached his hand out and almost reached it when it shattered to pieces. One single one came flying up in the air and yugi snatched it.

"Yugi! Common lets go!" Ryou yelled at Yugi. The albino grabbed Yugi's arm and dragged him out of the tomb. As they came out, they all watched it collapse. Yugi stared at it, tears starting to flow down his cheeks again. He then felt the sharpness of the piece in his hand. The young teen opened his palm up to be seeing the eye of the puzzle. Yugi gently brought this piece to where his heart was and closed his eyes. Now…at least he still had one little piece of what he loved.

(End of flashback)

Yugi leaned his head onto the table and started to cry once again. This is what happened every night. He would put off his homework, do it late at night, remember that day and cry. Yugi was barley getting any sleep and it was starting to show. He was becoming fatigue, lines under his eyes, and he had lost major weight. Yugi reached up and clutched his piece, (A/N- THE PUZZLE PIECE!!! Not the other one!!! O_O), and sighed. Not to long after Yami left, Yugi found out he loved his dark. More than anything. But it wasn't a crush…Yugi knew in his heart if Yami never came back…his life would become a hellhole. The violet teen also discovered what those last two words Yami said to him were.

"I love you." Yugi buried his face into his hands. If he loved his dark, and his dark loved him…why did they have to separated? Yugi looked up at the night sky, and prayed to any god that was listening…to bring his other back…to let him at least see the one that made him complete at least one more time. To tell Yami how he felt…so the emptiness would leave. Yugi rubbed his fingers over the cold puzzle piece and smiled so lightly, it was like it wasn't even there.

`At least…' he thought. `I still got one piece of the puzzle…maybe because I got just one…Yami may come back…maybe…' Yugi started to cry once again and buried his head into his arms. He let out a chocked cry and sat there.

"Y-y-yami…c-c-come ba-back…p-please…" he cried. Not known to him, someone was watching him from his doorway. That said person moved away and walked down the stairs. Miss Motou sighed as she entered the kitchen. Sugoroku, Yugi's grandfather, was sitting there as well. He looked up.

"Ahh…Akia (A/N- not her real name…I just made it up ^^) is he alright?" She shook her head.

"No…he just won't stop crying…I don't know what to do." She plopped down on the chair and put her face into her hands. "For two weeks now he has been doing this. Sugoroku, he's not eating, doing his homework or even getting any sleep!" The older man nodded in agreement

"I know…I wish we could make him happy…but Yugi shows an interest in nothing. He's even given up duel monsters and that's saying something." Akia looked up.

"He gave that up…why?" She asked. Sugoroku shrugged.

"To many memories. Harsh ones, good ones, but all of them have one person in them. You know how Yugi had that other spirit inside of him right?" Akia nodded. Not to long ago, she did in fact find out about Yami. She was worried at first about him, but Yugi managed to change her mind. "You see," Sugoroku continued on. "Yugi always dueled with Yami. He was never alone. So dueling will tell him that his other is truly gone…but then again…every other of Yugi's friends have gotten over Yami's absence…but Yugi still will shed away and go into his corner…why?" He thought. Akia sighed.

"Maybe Yugi feels more for this other spirit then were giving him credit for…maybe he loved him…" she said the last part slowly…beginning to realize what she said. Sugoroku looked up at her.

"I…think your right…he would have gotten over it more if he didn't truly need Yami." Akia nodded in agreement.

"But…is it bad…I mean, Yugi is a guy…and well…so was Yami…" Sugoroku smiled.

"But Akia, Yugi isn't exactly like other boys is he? He's small, he hates sports…his eyes, hair! He's more famine then male! How would Yugi ever go out with a girl smaller that him? Believe me, every girl is taller than Yugi." Akia smiled.

"You do have a point…but do you think we should talk to him…?" Sugoroku nodded.

"Yes…otherwise he is going to hurt himself…he's already losing weight! You can see every bone in his body almost!" They stood up.

"Should we talk to him now…?" She asked.

"The sooner the better," Sugoroku replied. The two walked up the stairs to Yugi's room. Akia knocked on his door.

"Yugi…honey can we come in…?" She whispered. She heard a muffled `yes' from inside. She opened the door to see Yugi doing his homework, or well pretending to. His eyes were rimed red from crying before and the black lines under his eyes were becoming even more noticeable. And every bone was showing where he had exposed skin. He looked up.

"Yeah mom…?" She cleared her throat.

"Yugi…we've noticed you've gotten…well, you haven't been eating much lately…do you want to tell up what's wrong?" Yugi shook his head and put on a fake smile.

"I'm fine mom. Nothing in the matter," he answered. She sighed.

"Yugi…look at yourself! Your eyes, body! Yugi, you need to eat! And get some sleep, you hurting yourself!" She yelled. Yugi's grin vanished.

"I'm fine…" he ground out. Sugoroku sighed.

"Yugi…just tell us please! Ever since Yami left you have been a wreak!" Yugi snorted.

"This has nothing to do with him!" He huskily said. Akia shook her head.

"We can tell Yugi…you miss him. I see it, your grandfather does. You miss him more that a friend…you…" she trailed off. The room was silent. Yugi finally spoke up.

"…So what…are you discussed by me now? Do you think I'm sick!? Wrong!? Well!!??" He screamed. Akia quickly shook her head.

"No Yugi! Absolutely not! I think it's fine, but Yugi wake up! He walked into the afterlife! He's not coming back, you may love him but love can only do so much!!" She screamed. Yugi whipped around to face her.

"He is coming back!! What the hell would you know!!" He screamed back. Akia narrowed her eyes.

"Did love bring my mother back!? Did it bring my husband back, you father!! Did it bring him back!? NO it didn't!! Only love can go so far Yugi!! Death is death, you can't bring the dead back to life!!!" She shrieked. Yugi was about to shout back then stopped.

"Y-your right…" he whispered. He fell to the floor and brought his knees to his face and cried again. Akia leaned down and took her son into her arms. Yugi leaned into his mother's embrace, crying. Sugoroku kneeled down as well and stared at his broken grandson. Crying here in his daughters embrace. But she was right…you can't bring the dead back to life…but the dead can always make final whishes. And Yami did make one… one that will let him and Yugi have a peaceful life…with each other.
