Shadu: This will be the last chapter.

Hokage: Not sure if that's a good thing.

Shadu: ::shrugs:: Enjoy.

Yugi bent his knees, ready to jump. He wasn't sure what he was waiting for, but something inside him said, just a little longer. Just a bit more. And just when he was ready to do it, a deep, soothing voice stopped him.

"Yugi, what are you doing?" it asked.

Yugi whipped around. His breath caught in his throat.

"Y-yami," he nearly choked on the word.

Yami stood there in the room, transparent and tattered. His clothes were ripped, scraps and cuts blanketed his body, but he was standing here now, infront of Yugi, who was about to end it due to the lack of Yami.

Yugi ran to his yami and clung to his jacket. And he cried. And Yami said nothing, but offered an arm of support around his little light. He understood that he had gone through a lot. But Yami sensed another presense. He turned his head to see Magic sitting in the doorway, smiling. Yami returned the smile.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, my dear old friend," Yami stated.

"No, the pleasure's all mine," Magic bowed his head.

And as Yugi went to sleep, Yami found the note, and he read it.

Jamie

I'm sorry to desert you. You've helped me through this, as far as I could take it, and I thank you. I just miss Yami so much that I've lost all hope. But when I was around you, you made me confident. You made me believe that maybe, just maybe, there would be a chance to get Yami back. But when you leave, it goes away, and I can't bear it. Please forgive me. And if, by some crazy fluke I manage to survive, then, I would like to, uh, maybe see a movie or something. You see, when you kissed me in the caferteria that day, it made me realize something.

Your friend,

Yugi Mutou

P.S. I love you, now, and forever.

SO, YOU FOUND SOMEONE TO HELP YOU THROUGH HARD TIMES, Yami thought.

"Just like I helped you," Magic stated.

"Who is this Jamie?" Yami asked.

"Let's just say, she's someone that you can't get rid of very easily," Magic stated, looking at the sleeping Yugi. "She's what kept Yugi alive the time that you were gone. And, it gave someone besides family he could love."

Shadu: That's it, that's all, that's the end.

Hokage: For the last time in this story, REVIEW!
