Wow...it's been a year...(winces) This is one of the most longest chapter breaks I've ever done and I'm not proud of it. I'm not even sure people are actually reading this anymore. I have been slacking off on this story but I wrote this chapter immediatly when Sunset Yugis girl wrote me a review. Dang, I suck. Well, here's the very short, very long waited, very last minute ending to Finding Out The Truth.
After Kaiya had woken up, Yami had immediately grounded her. She whined and complained the entire time, saying that she had just come out a life-changing experience but Yami refused. He said it would remind her not to touch his things.
When Haru got home, he assaulted Mai with hugs. Then he sat down with his dad alone. They talked, yelled, but ended up hugging each other in the end. Mai made them a huge dinner just for that.
Terra and Matt came home and Matt immediately ran to Izhizu, demanding to be held and comforted. Seto and Akio were there and it was awkward, although Terra wished it wasn't. She hugged her dad and told him straight out that she wanted to spend more time with him and Akio. Akio was confused by this but didn't question it. Terra just smiled at them both sweetly.
Cody walked past his garage where his precious motorcycle lay and met up with his dad and mom. He was on his knees and started begging for them to give him chores or ground him or anything that would remind him that he had forceful parents. In the end, they were both so confused they got him ice-cream. He still ended up cleaning his room though.
Things got quiet after that. They attended school as usual, never bringing up the adventure often. But they were very close. Everyone knew that.
Kaiya and Haru started dating their last year in high school. It was no surprise to anyone. Yami, Joey, and Mai took it fairly easy as well. So easy that it was very embarrassing. As in, Kaiya would be leaving out the door with Haru waiting outside and Yami would yell,"Now don't play too harshly. I want my daughter in one piece." Kaiya would be blushing all afternoon.
Terra didn't follow in either of her parents' footsteps. She got really into law enforcement and made it her goal to become a police officer. No one knew what Matt wanted to do, although he mentioned being a fireman a lot...
Cody started dating as well. He had a lot of girlfriends, even including Terra for a while, but he started really liking this one girl named Alice. She was a cheerleader and Kaiya and Terra both shot evil glances at her whenever she passed. They both were protective of Cody. After seven months of dating, Alice broke his heart by confessing her love to another girl named Laura. Cody went back to dating Terra like a dog with its tail between its legs.
Haru and Kaiya got married two years after they graduated. They still thought it was too soon but everyone just rolled their eyes. They moved to the other side of town where they had three kids. Two twin boys and a girl.
Cody and Terra dated for until Cody was drafted for war. Cody gave Terra a child before he left. Ten months later, Terra was told that a bomb was set off in his tent.
Matt was a very bright boy in school, obviously from his father, and got into the medical field. He still remembered the adventure and didn't want to be helpless anymore. He became a doctor and saved many lives.
Yugi stayed by Kaiya for many years. He would be the one to comfort her when no one could and to make her laugh when she was alone. Kaiya looked everywhere to find anything that would get Yugi back to the afterlife. She felt horrible that he had to stay and see everyone go on with their lives and he couldn't. Yugi tried to tell her he was fine but he said it in the same tone she always did when she lied.
When she was thirty, she found a lady who could send spirits back to whence they came. She called her and the lady came over. Yugi and Kaiya had a little alone time to say goodbye. Yugi was smiling, sadly and happily, and Kaiya was crying and trying to smile. They did what the lady said and she performed her task. Yugi was gone.
Kaiya cried for some time, Haru helping her recover. It was so strange for her to be so completely...alone. She had to beg Haru not to leave her until she was better. He was planning on doing so anyways.
So life went on, people were born and died. Memories were passed on as stories to younger generations. Kaiya's own story was passed on longer than imagined and so, it still lives on. Kaiya was proud, up in heaven with everyone else.
I know, totally dumb ending but I NEEDED to get this finished. It's been eating at my conscience for a YEAR! Now, I'm going to start working on Connected Hearts. That's one has been bugging me too...
