?Blocked
One year had passed since the Yamis had all been sent back to ancient Egypt. But the people the left behind were far from being alright.
Ryou and Malik became depressed just after about two months after the seperation. All their friends couldn't figure out why they had become depressed, all but Yugi. It was because he understood what Ryou and Malik were going through.
Both had fallen in love with their Yami's but had been unable to tell Bakura and Marik. Yugi on the other hand did tell Yami about his feelings only to have Yami leave, it broke his heart into small pieces. No one would have been able to understand the pain Ryou and Malik felt when their other halves left.
Even though both Marik and Bakura had tried to take over the world and had done really aweful things, it was just impossible for Ryou and Malik not to fall in love. Because even though Marik had been created by the shadows and darkness in Malik's heart, he had been made because Malik had not been strong enough to live life on his own.
And even though Bakura had forcefully used Ryou's body for his own gain, he had in the end appoligized. Both Ryou and Malik had seen the true selves of Bakura and Marik after the shadows had left them.
Yugi had also become depressed but never showed it to others, instead he kept the hurt within, never showing anything but strength. He helped Malik and Ryou get an apartment right across the street from his own. He had left high school in his junior year and had instead of going to four preliminary years of college, he ended up doing art.
Yugi was able to get a major in art and started training at a tattoo parlor. He trained for a while and was able to open his own shop. Yugi's personality and looks changed during the year long seperation from his Yami.
He wore darker clothes and listened to dark music, his personality got a lot colder and he rarely showed emotions now a days. He was acting just like Kaiba. When Yugi turned eighteen he got a tattoo on his back just below his neck, across his shoulder blades.
It was of two wings, the first wing was a white feathered angel's wing that was folded as if it was in flight, some of the feathers were falling from it, the other wing was also an angel's wing but instead of white this one was black and it was outstretched instead of being folded in flight.
The black wing's edges faded out into smoke. When Yugi's friends asked what the tatt meant, Yugi simply stated that Light and Dark cannot exist without the other, that when Dark fades Light will soon follow.
Yugi's friends understood somewhat. Ryou and Malik decided to get the same tattoo that Yugi had, the only difference was the colors of the wings. On Ryou's back the wings were white and electric blue and on Malik's back the wings were white and dark purple.
Yugi said that tattooing was fun because it gave him a way to show his artistic work and skills and it gave someone happiness when something important was engraved on their skin forever.
Ryou decided that he wanted to go into the fashion designing bussiness, so he did. He opened a gothic clothing store infront of Yugi tattoo parlor. And Malik decided he wanted to do tattooing and piercings.
Malik was able to get a piercing license and joined Yugi in the tattoo parlor, doing piercings and tattoos. Yugi, Ryou, and Malik stuck together and cooped as well as they could, they still kept in contact with their other friends, though not as often as before the Yami's had left.
Joey and Seto, to everyone's surprise got together and Joey now worked as Seto's assistant and stress reliever. Tristan teamed up with Duke to help perfect his dice game. Tea went off to America, though nobody really cared to keep in contact with her after she had an altercation with Yugi, blaming Yugi as the reason of Yami's leaving.
Mai kept up with her dueling but had also decided to do professional make-up and hair, Serenity joined Mai as her assistant after announcing she was bisexual. Both Serenity and Mai started dating as a couple.
So far everything was going well and was fine, Yugi still dueled every now and again. He still loved dueling but felt as if the only reason he continued to do so was because Yami would have wanted him to.
Everyone was cooping as well as they could, some better then others. No one would've had guessed what was about to happen and that their troubles were not over and done with yet. Everyone was about to see some very familiar faces very soon.
