Saying goodbye

Chapter 1

This is in Yugi's POV and he is talking to Yami.

Italics mean Yami to Yugi mind link

"blah blah " means Yugi replying. Yami can't read his thoughts.

You smirk at me, looking so superior I have to laugh.

Why are you laughing? Do I look funny to you?

I remain silent. You growl in frustration.

Answer me! You cannot ignore the pharaoh! I could order your death in a second!

"This is the 21st century, get with the times! This is not your Egypt" I reply.

How dare you defy me?

How quickly you forget that I am your host. If it weren't for me you wouldn't have been released from your puzzle all those years ago. I almost wish I hadn't released you.

Answer me!

I remain silent, just to annoy you that much more. Poor pharaoh doesn't know his place, or remember his host.

Stupid hikari, you can't do anything to me! You are just a weak pathetic hikari.

That is where you are wrong. I could do many things to harm you. I could kill my body and free my soul from your control or…

If it weren't for me you would be a nothing, like all the other pathetic nothings out there. You would never win a tournament. You would never be the game king.

I could destroy your holder. Besides who says I wanted to win tournaments? It was more fun when it was just friends. I don't want to be the games king.

"That is your dream, not mine."

You never wanted to taste the sweet nectar of victory or crush your enemy without so much as lifting a finger?

"No, I never wanted this." I take the puzzle of my neck.

What are you doing with that?

"Goodbye pharaoh. Farewell Yami" I chuck the puzzle as hard as I can, It hits the floor with a thud.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! How could you?

"This is for the lack of respect. This is for taking all my friends. This is for everything you put me through."

It is satisfying to see the puzzle break into smaller pieces. It is satisfying to watch you break my pharaoh. You w ho stand so high and mighty being taken down at last.

I'm sorry. If you save me I will treat you better. I beg of you.

"Beg pharaoh, beg for your life. I hate you."

You will regret it comes your final words as you disappear into nothing.

I laugh and gather all the pieces and place them in the box.

"Excuse me Mr. Kaiba, Yugi Moto is here to see you" the secretary says fearfully.

"Ask the brat what he wants. I'm a very busy man" replies Seto coldly.

"He says he has a box for you."

"Let him in"

The woman leaves and Yugi walks in carrying a gold box with Egyptian hieroglyphics.

"What do you want Yugi?" asks Seto sharply.

"Seto I need you to hide this box from everyone. In it is the piece of the millennium puzzle. No one must uncover it."

"Why? I though you and Yami were pals."

"Yeah…not anymore. That manipulative son of a bitch ruined me and I don't want the same fate for others."

"So you want me to store it in a safe?"

"Yes. Don't bother contacting me again."

"Why?"

"Oh and you can be games king now"

"Are you feeling okay?"

"Actually better than ever before"

"Take my title and my deck. Hide the puzzle as it is no longer mine. Forget me" he passed Seto the deck and the box.

"Thanks."

Yugi poured gasoline around the shop making sure not to miss a spot. He had a small bag of his stuff on his back.

"Goodbye" he said.

He lit a match and tossed it in when he had retreated to safety. He watch freed at last as he saw his childhood home be consumed by flames.

School was long over but the principal was still in. Yugi pulled several envelopes for the school to give to his friends. Later that day he had signed out of school for the last time simply saying he "had to leave".

The woman at the desk looked surprised but accepted the envelopes and promised they would reach his friends.

"Flight 228 is boarding. I repeat, flight 228 is boarding. Passengers please go to gate E." An automated voice said.

Yugi got up off the old plastic seat and made his way to gate E. A worker checked his ticket and he was allowed to board.

"Last call. Flight 228 is boarding. Passengers please go to gate E. The plane will leave in 10 minutes" the automated voice prompted.

As the minutes passed Yugi watch hurried mothers with dawdling children come on as well as stressed looking business people talking into there mobiles.

Finally he felt the plane move and relaxed. 'Goodbye Domino. Goodbye old friends. Good riddance Yami'
