Epilogue
Tsuyu no mannaka kyou wa ame agari
In the middle of rainy season today after rain fell
Namanurui kaze shizukana yomichi wo
Lukewarm wind on the quiet street at night
Toori nukeru natsu ga chikai
Passing by as the summer coming closer
Yusei opened his eyes to find himself in what looked like an abandoned street of New Domino. Rain seemed to have just stopped, but everything was empty and a small wind blew against him.
"Hello?" he called as he walked forward. That's when he realized he felt no pain in his chest. But he quickly focused on finding someone in this devoid city.
Hikari kagayaki kono me wo ubai
A shining light blinds these eyes
Te ni shitaku naru furete mitaku naru
Makes me want to grasp it in my hand and touch it
Yusei noticed a shimmer of light from a garage in the distance. He slowly walked to it, not sure what to think. But the streets were still absent of any life. However, he kept his mind on that light. That had to have someone in there.
Anata wa kono hotaru no you
You're like those fireflies
Mou iikai, mada mitai
Ready or not, I still looking for
Mou iikai, sono kokoro
Ready or not, those heart
Nozomu hodo kurushiku naru
It hurts me everytime I want you more
Yusei eventually reached the lit up garage and found it to be his home. He walked in, but… no one was inside.
"Hello?" he called. "Is anyone here?" He heard a soft crying coming from his room. "Hello?"
Yusei entered the room to see a familiar young girl sitting there, but he couldn't remember where he knew her from. She had black hair and she sat on his bed crying. She seemed familiar to him, like he had seen her before a long time ago.
"Hello?" Yusei called gently, kneeling to her eye level.
She looked at him a bit in shock. "You couldn't save me," she stated, shocking him a bit with her sudden comment.
"What?" Yusei responded.
Soredemo kirai ni narenai
But I can't hate you, still
Fuwari fuwari to chuu wo mau hotaru
Softly dancing fireflies in the midair
Sukoshi hanareta basho kara miru no ga
Seeing them from a distant place
Ichiban ii, sotto sotto
Is the best thing, silently
"You… tried to save me," the girl stated. "And I thank you for that, but…" She began to cry again.
That's when Yusei realized where he had seen this girl before. She was the girl Yusei defended during his duel with Aporia. "What happened? The last time I saw you, you ran off before you could get hit at my instructions."
Tsukamenai, todokanai
I can't seize you, I can't reach you
Tsukamenai, sono kokoro
I can't seize you, those heart
"I was hit by one of the lightning strikes on my way to find my mother," she answered shocking Yusei. "And now… now we're both on the edge of death."
"What do you mean?" Yusei asked.
"It's just us," she answered. "Until they finish their choice of where we should go. We're trapped here."
Jibun dake ga omotte iru
It's just me who thinks of you
Kanjiru to nakitaku naru
These feelings made me wanna cry
Onaji kimochi ni wa narenai
We won't have the same feelings
"What about my friends?" Yusei asked. "I need to get to them."
Mou iikai, mada mitai
Ready or not, I still looking for
Mou iikai, sono kokoro
Ready or not, those heart
"This is the end for both of us, Yusei," the girl stated sadly. "There's no returning from here."
"How do you know?" he asked.
Anata no kimochi ga mienai
I can't see your feelings
Nozomu hodo kurushiku naru
It hurts me everytime I want you more
"Because I've been chosen as the temporary messenger of the Crimson Dragon. Once I pass, the next one to arrive here will take my place," the girl explained, shocking Yusei further. "I'm sorry, Yusei. Going back to the living isn't going to happen."
Soredemo kirai ni narenai
But I can't hate you, still
"There has to be a way," Yusei refused to believe. "I can't just leave my friends after this. After all we've been through. And you can't die, either."
Jibun dake ga omotte iru
It's just me who thinks of you
"Yusei…" the girl muttered.
"We'll figure out a way out of here and back to the living," Yusei vowed. "We both will."
Kanjiru to nakitaku naru
These feelings made me wanna cry
The girl began to tear up as a hopeful smile appeared on her face. "Okay! I'll believe you!"
Anata no kimochi ga shiritai
I want to know about your feelings towards me
Anata no kimochi ga mienai
I can't see your feelings
(Tsuyu no mannaka kyou wa ame agari
(In the middle of rainy season today after rain fell
Namanurui kaze shizukana yomichi wo)
Lukewarm wind on the quiet street at night)
Soredemo kirai ni narenai
But I can't hate you, still
Yusei stood up and held out a hand to the young girl. "Then let's go," he suggested, giving her a smile.
The girl nodded and grabbed his hand. "Let's go!" she agreed.
They walked out of the garage and into the city. The clouds had darkened a bit, but showed no signs of precipitation.
(Sore de kagayaki kono me wo ubai
(The shining lights that deprives this eyes
Te ni shitaku naru fureta mitai)
Makes me want to grasp it in my hand and touch it)
Kyou wa ame agari
Today after the rain fell
"Yusei, do you really think we'll find a way back to our friends and family who are alive?" the girl asked coming to a stop as they reached the main city's limit.
"I do," Yusei answered.
"My name's Ayumi, by the way," she told him.
"Well, then, Ayumi," Yusei responded, "let's get moving." They turned and walked on with that.
Alright, guys! The song in this is Hotaru by Fujita Maiko. The translations are varied between those who've translated it, so I just chose one. So I am sorry if the translation is off a bit or incorrect in some way.
Now, this is the ending I have chosen. Yes, I know, I'm so evil for doing this. I am undecided whether I will go on with this in another story since this will be linked but a totally different area in general compared to this story and previous (though I probably will, I make no promises). You tell me what you want and I will respond! Until then, my readers!
