To Know Who You Are

 

 

 

Chapter One

 

It has been two years since Yami had passed and it was still fresh in everybody's minds like it had happened yesterday. Mine was no different and that at night was when my mind worked over time filled with dreams of Yami.

 

The dreams ranged from me releasing Yami from the millennium puzzle. Finding out Atemu was his real name and he receiving a body. All of us dueling, hanging out and laughing.

 

Then the worst of the dreams had started not to long ago.

 

Usually they were horrible dreams of him being Pharaoh and sealing his soul away in the puzzle and gasping his last breath as blood poured from his mouth, that fateful day at the museum.

 

Yami's face twisted in pain and fear as he grasped his throat and collapsed to the floor. Then it shifts to where he is in the hospital and the doctors and nurses are trying everything to save him.

 

Then they stop and just stand around watching him fight for every breath. I can not move I am frozen at the spot. I have to stand there and watch Yami gasping and bleeding.

 

Then those beautiful crimson eyes cloud over and I hear the heart monitor and the steady sound.

 

Yami has quit moving and his eyes remain open and the sad look on his face still haunts me to this day.

 

 

The next dream that always seems to play in my mind is Yami standing watching a waterfall flow into a river then he turns to me with the most calming and serene smile on his lips.

 

I notice instead of his trademark black leather outfit he is wearing white. White leather pants, white leather sleeveless shirt, two silver belts that hang loosely around his waist. A white belt choker much like our black ones, is around his neck and silver boots with buckles.

 

He walks over to me and pulls me into a warm embrace.

 

“I have missed you aibou.” He whispers in my ear.

 

“Oh Yami please come back we all miss you so much.” I cry into his chest.

 

“Aibou, I can not return to you. Not now, but one day we will all be together like we were. I promise you that.”

 

“When?” Yugi looked up and amethyst met crimson.

 

Yami knelt down and pulled me closer.

 

“Not yet but one day I will return to you and Seto when the time is right.”

 

He smiles at me and then everything fades to black.

 

I always awaken sweating and crying over him. Yami was like my older brother. No, in my mind he was my older brother.

 

 

 

I open my eyes and stare at the grave that I have visited every day since two years ago today. I tell Yami about my day and I know in my heart that he hears every word.

 

“Hello Yami it is a beautiful fall day winter is almost here and they say it may snow this weekend.” Yugi said as he replaced the old wilted roses with new amethyst ones.

 

“Seto said he will be by after work to visit you. Grandpa and I are doing well. He is going to go to Egypt on another excavation with Professor Hawkins, he asked me to go but I am not.”

 

“I don't think I could go knowing it was once your home and you are not able to come with me. Even though I know you would be with me in my heart and in spirit. It still would pain me too much.”

 

Yugi watched as some leaves fell from a nearby tree and landed on the ground.

 

“I miss you, we all do. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever see you again. I know that you promised, but I think a lot of it is just me and my wishing for your return.” Yugi stood and traced Yami's name with his index finger.

 

“Well I better go it is getting late and grandpa will be worried about me. I love you.” Yugi straightened and walked away glancing back at his darks grave.

 

 

A silver BMW pulled up outside of the cemetery and the door opened. Out stepped Seto Kaiba who had a bouquet of sapphire roses and one crimson rose in the center. He walked over to the grave and sat the roses in one of the holders on the side of the grave stone.

 

“Yugi must have came and thrown the old wilted ones out.” Seto whispered to himself. He knelt down and looked at the stone and then to the sky.

 

“Hey Yami, I wanted to let you know that everything is going good with the company and Mokuba and I are planning to have another tournament soon. Unfortunately I will not be joining this one since I have no interest in dueling any more since my one great opponent has past on.” Seto placed his hand on the grave stone.

 

“Yugi and the others are all going to join and I have been keeping an eye on Yugi for you. I wish you were here sometimes at my loneliest and when I am by myself at work or at home I feel you and in my mind see you standing there with that smirk on your face. My life is so empty without you, Yami.”

 

Seto looked up at the sky as he noticed that the clouds had grown darker. He then heard thunder rumble in the distance and saw a white lightning streak light up the sky.

 

“Well Yami it looks like we are about to have a thunder storm since it is not cold enough yet so snow. I better head back before it starts to get worse. I will visit again tomorrow. I love you.” Seto spoke as he stood.

 

He turned and headed back toward the cemetery gates and noticed that the storm seemed to be coming closer and at a fast rate.

 

He got in his BMW and started toward home when the down pour hit. It was getting harder to see and he had the wipers going as fast as they could. He couldn't remember the last time it had rained this hard and knew that it was too dangerous to keep driving.

 

“Shit I can't see a thing.” Seto turned his high beams on and that did nothing to help.

 

“This storm came out of no where.” Seto slowed to a stop at the side of the road and pulled out his phone. He listened as it rang and rang until someone finally picked up.

 

“Hello”

 

“Mokuba”

 

“Hey Seto, where are you?”

 

“I am here near the cemetery and the rain is falling so hard that I had to pull over. I will be home though as soon as the rain let's up.”

 

“Oh okay. Please be careful Seto.”

 

“I…” Seto paused as he looked out the window.

 

“Seto are you still there?” Mokuba asked a little worried.

 

“Yeah Mokuba I thought I saw something, but it was probably lightening reflecting off of one of the grave stones.” Kaiba said as he continued to stare out the window.

 

“Well I better go and I will be home shortly if not maybe I can at least make it to Yugi's.”

 

“If you do go to Yugi's be sure to call me and let me know you are safe.”

 

“I will good bye Mokuba.”

 

“Bye.” With that they both hung up as Seto continued to stare out the window as he looked for what he had seen earlier.

 

He sighed and turned the radio up as he closed his eyes still thinking about the sad crimson eyes he saw just moments ago.

 

 

 

“Thanks Jou for taking me to the store for grandpa.” Yugi spoke as he got in the car.

 

“Hey, no problem man.” Jou smiled as he slid into the driver seat.

 

“Do you want to come over for dinner tonight?” Yugi looked at Jou knowing he would never turn down food.

 

“Sure Yuge sounds great.”

 

They were on their way to the game shop when all of a sudden the sky got dark and then the sky was lit up as lighting struck.

 

“Shit man that was kinda close.” Jou looked out his window in the direction of the lightning.

 

Yugi looked up at the clouds as the rain started to fall and knew that this was just the beginning of what was to come.

 

“Jou maybe we should try and get back to the game shop before the storm starts getting worse.”

 

Jou looked at Yugi and nodded. “I know a short cut.”

 

The rain started coming down so hard Jou could barely see where he was going and slowed his car till he was going only about twenty-five miles per hour.

 

“Man the wipers look like they are about to fly off.” Jou said as he watched the wipers go as fast as they could.

 

Yugi looked out the window and could barely see anything.

 

“Just be careful Jou, the visibility is so poor you may not be able to see anything until it's too late.”

 

Jou watched the road as he spoke. “Don't worry this road is hardly ever traveled at night.”

 

Just as Jou finished that statement Yugi saw the back lights of another vehicle. The car then began to hydroplane with all the water on the road.

 

Yugi's eyes got wide as he saw they were heading for the other car.

 

“We're going to hit!” Yugi yelled as he held his arms up over his face and braced himself for the impact.
