Sapphire: Hey everybody!
Crystal: Hello!
Ashley: What's up! Sapphire, are you really doing another story?
Sapphire: Yes, yes I am! And this is will be my first POV between Yami(Atem) and Yugi. So if you and Crystal can be so kind as to do the summary and disclaimer, please.
Crystal: Okay! It has been 6 years since Atem was sent to the afterlife after the ceremonial duel with Yugi, and everything is good. The gang has grown up and living great lives, but what happens when Atem comes back and tries to destroy the world that he, Yugi, and the others have saved countless times.
Ashley: Sapphire doesn't own anything, but the plot of the story.
Sapphire: Thank you, ladies! Now enjoy!
Chapter One – Six Years Gone-By
Yugi's POV
It has been six years. Six long years since that duel I had with Yami…I mean Atem. The one that set him free and let him go to the afterlife.
I have missed him. Things were different without him, at first. I felt alone without him there, but luckily I had my friends at side. We became closer and we even made new friends when we went back to school. Their names are Ashley Knight and Crystal Smith. They are great girls and friends, they were just what we needed after Atem.
Ashley was serious and very protective of her friends. One day someone was picking on me because I finally came out with me being gay and they didn't like it. They were about to punch me when she came flying down the hall and punch the guy right in the jaw. He fell down and she started to yell at him. After that she managed to kick the guy's ass and made him run in fear. Every time that guy sees her, he whimpers and runs the other direction. Her girlfriend Crystal is best person around. She is calm and sweet, a perfect balance between the two. I was feeling real down one day because I was missing Atem again, she saw that I was crying and started to talk to me. She listened to what I had to say and gave some good advice, even gave some home-made cookies to help. They have been the best thing to ever happen to us since Atem.
Well after two years, we all graduated from Domino High and we did go our separate ways for awhile. Tristan went to work with Duke and help make Duke's game, Dungeon Dice Monster, a hit in America. Tea went to New York to study dance there. Ashley and Crystal joined her there to study fashion and such.
Seto continued to run Kaiba Corp. along with Mokaba.
Joey and I went to Domino University to stay close to my grandpa and the game shop. Also, what happen is going to be a shock to you all, but Seto and Joey are dating! I know, it is a total shock. Even I was not prepared for that. They finally admitted their feelings to each other towards the end of our senior year. Now, the two are engaged and happy. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them, but I was sure that Joey would be with Mai. Oh well.
Oh and Ryou and Malik have been doing well as well. Ryou went back to England after graduation to go to college there. Malik does still helps his sister, Ishizu, with the museum, but travel most of the time.
As for me, like I said before, I stayed home. I went to Domino University with Joey, majoring in business, and I still help my grandpa in the shop. I still hold the title 'King of Games,' but I don't do any tournaments until the summer when I don't have classes.
Now, I'm 22 and both me and Joey have graduate from D.U. Yeah, I know the world is coming to an end, because Joey graduated from college. He surprised everyone, even Seto was shock to hear his love was graduating as well, but I knew Joey could do it.
As for right now, I'm in the shop, watching it while Grandpa is out getting things for dinner.
Normal POV
Yugi was seating there, waiting for someone, anyone to come in. He was looking on his laptop at hotels in Cairo. Why would Yugi be looking at hotels in Cairo?
Yugi's POV
...
(Still looking at computer. Sapphire: (whispers) Yugi that is your cue!)
What? Oh right! I'm busy looking at hotels in Cairo because I'm going to visit there.
It has been six years and I thought maybe I could visit the Pharaoh's Tomb. Yeah, I know 'but it got destroyed after the ceremonial duel and Atem's leaving.' Well, a group of archeologist dug it up his tomb. We all were mad about it, but Ishizu manage to stop them. But because they dug most of the rumble out of the way, it is safe to go in and see. I know I probably should not go, but I miss him.
To tell you the truth, I fell in love with Atem. He was the only one who could really make me truly happy. But, there is a problem; I never told him how I felt about him. I thought it would be better if I didn't tell him, but I was wrong. It hurt then and it still hurts now. I have try dating other guys, but they weren't right. They were not my Yami. I wish Atem, my Yami, Mou Hitori No Boku, my everything was here, but he's not. I just hope and pray that he is okay and enjoying the afterlife. His happiness means more to me than anything. Great (sob) I'm crying again (sob).
Just then the door to shop opens and the little bell rang, breaking me out of my thoughts of Atem. I close my laptop and wipe my eyes real quick and look to see who walked in. It was my best friend, Joey, and Grandpa. It looks like Grandpa got Joey to help him with the groceries.
"Hello Yugi." "Hey Yug!" said the two as they walked in.
"Hey Joey. Hey Grandpa, need any help?" I asked.
"No we are good. Help me take this up to the kitchen, Joseph," said Grandpa.
"Sure, Graps." The two went up and a few minutes later both came back down.
"So Yug, are ya ready for the trip to see Yam's tomb?" asked Joey
I sighed and open my laptop again, "Not yet. I'm still looking for a hotel. Haven't found one that has a vacant yet. I do have my passport and other things ready, though," I said, trying to look through another hotel site.
Grandpa gave me a worried look and said, "Yugi, I thought you have everything done by now. I'm a little disappointed in you now."
I rolled my eyes at him and looked back to the screen, "It is hard to get a room during the summer season, Grandpa," I replied.
"Well, Seto and I are staying with Malik and his family, as well as the others," said Joey, looking at the back of his hand.
I looked at him with shock, everybody is staying with Malik! What about me! "You are? Why didn't they invite me?" I asked Joey, a little upset but not showing it.
He looked at with some surprise, "They send an e-mail awhile back," he said, "Look they did send you one as well." I look at my inbox and sure enough there was an e-mail about letting the whole gang stay at Malik's and Ishizu's place.
I blush a little bit, feeling a bit embarrassed about that, "Oh, well then I reply to them now and that takes care of were I will be staying during this trip," I said as I type away.
"That's good. I do hope you have fun and enjoy yourself," said Grandpa.
I smiled at him, well a sort of sad and small smile, and said, "It is going to be a little sad as well, but it might do some good for me at least." I sighed and started to think about my Atem. Joey noticed it and puts an arm around me, trying to comfort me.
Normal POV
Yugi was in his room, thinking about what he was going to need for his trip. He looked back down at his open suitcase, nice and folded, "I hope this is enough. I can't wait. I hope things go well and Atem is at peace. I miss him so much," Yugi said to himself. "I wish you where here, Atem. I should have told you how I felt." He hugged his middle, trying to stop the sobs that were wreaking his body.
He started to remember all that he and Yami went through, from Duelist Kingdom to going into Atem's memory world. From the first duel with Kaiba to the last one where they face of each other. All these memories made him happy and sad at the same time. He missed his secret lover and regret never telling him.
"I wonder if he is watching me?" he asked himself. He looked up at the moon through his skylight, hoping that his love was looking at him. "I love you Atem."
Sapphire: That's that. Yugi is missing Atem a lot.
Yugi: Of course I would. I didn't even tell him how I felt about him. (hangs his head)
Atem: You can tell me now, Aibou. (opens his arms for Yugi)
Yugi: Atem! (runs into Atem's open arms and hugs him) I love you! (Kisses him)
Ashley and Crystal: So cute!
Sapphire: Save that for the end!
Ashley: Do you even have the end don't yet?
Sapphire: (Sheepishly smiles) No. (watches Ashley and Atem face-palm themselves) But, don't worry it will happen. Mark my words!
Ashley and Atem: Whatever!
Sapphire: Anyway, hope you enjoy and please review! Until next time!
Everbody: Bye!
