OMG! THE END IS NIGH!
Yep, this is the last one! I'd like to thank everybody that reviewed - all those words of encouragement really helped! Thanks a bunch!
Ho, hum, still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, and I MISSED THE NEW EPISODES! My stupid VCR was broken, and my family dragged me off on a day-trip to NYC, but I didn't realize it was broken till we got back...Man, my life stinks. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!!!! Spoil it, and you'll wish you'd never been born! Trust me, hell hath no fury like a Chiwizard scorned. I have no idea why I just put that, but it had to be said.
Anyway, going back to happy things, this is back to being all Yami POV.

Chao!












He won! I still have no idea what he did but he won! Now we could go home! Or so

we thought. As Yugi ran to me and everyone ran to him, I could see Slade out of the corner

of my eye. He looked like he was going to explode from fury then and there. It probably

didn't help when Joey yelled, "Hey, he won, so had over the keys or whatever already!"

Slade snarled as he snapped his fingers. I felt a slipping sensation, then landed on the

floor. _Both_ my legs were asleep, perfect! I rubbed them while circulation returned,

which wasn't helped by the crowd of people that kept insisting on jostling me. It took a

minute before I could stand. Then the feeling of being ripped apart replaced pins and

needles. Whatever Slade had done, it was still in effect. Which meant…oh goody. I had a

pretty fair estimate of what Slade was planning on doing next. Sure enough, he walked right

up. "Well, you've gotten your Yami back. Now what are you going to do, little boy?" Yugi

figured out what he meant instantly. "Take us home," he said. "Hah! That wasn't part of

the deal! And neither was not doing this!" Slade waved his hand, and an invisible wave

crashed into us. It knocked down everyone - everyone, that is, except Layhon. He stood

there, with a vaguely familiar expression on his face. "What do you think you are doing?!"

Slade roared. Instead of answering him, Layhon walked off a few paces, and turned so he was

facing everyone. "It is not what I _think_ I am doing. I am doing it." Layhon closed his

eyes. "I am sorry," He said. "I would have preferred revealing this under different

circumstances." He let the front of his cloak fall open. It revealed an object hanging

from a chain around his neck. It looked like a small plate. It was blue, and very shiny.

But what really got everyone's attention was the Sennen Eye slightly raised upon it's

surface. As the light wiped over it the subtle mark would seemingly disappear, but we knew

it was still there. I hesitate to call it a Millennium Item, since I only made seven and we

had seen all of them. But the Puzzle and Ring were glowing. Layhon concentrated, and in a

whirling flash of light what was unquestionably his Yami appeared. Layhon's Yami looked

just like him (duh), but older and taller. He had gray eyes, as opposed to Layhon's

greenish blue. His hair was finer, silvery in color, and longer. What struck me as odd was

the feeling that I knew him. But from where? I needed to remember - wait, a memory! The

last memory door I had checked! The man in there that I had recognized as a friend! He and

Layhon's Yami were identical…












After a brief stare-down, Slade said, "And who might you be?" "Come now. You mean

to say you don't remember me?" That voice! I remembered that voice. As I hastily

swallowed my revelations, I saw Yami no Layhon giving me a smile out of the corner of his

eye. "Oh I remember you. You got in my way, right when I was going to win! I never did

figure out what happened to you. I figured you'd done me a favor and died!" Slade was

really growling now. "Looks like I'll have to do it _for_ you!" Slade launched a mighty

blast, but Yami no Layhon merely passed his hand. The Sennen Eye glowed on his forehead as

Slade's attack was reflected right back to him. Slade gave an unearthly shriek as he and

the entire castle got blown away. Eventually, it was just us, sitting around on a giant

pile of rubble. "Hah! So you had an ace in the hole this entire time!" Without warning, a

really weird-looking bird flew down and landed on my Aibou's shoulder. The others seemed to

know him. "Hi Clab," Yugi said. "And who's this? Your secret identity?" Clab squawked

with delight. "Pleased to meet you, your ex-Pharaohship!" What the - "It's called Bird's

Intuition. Don't bother trying to understand," Clab set about preening his plumage before

casting eyes on Layhon. Layhon's Yami was still in control. "Hey boss, long time no see!"

The bird was enjoying the uncomprehending looks on our faces. "I didn't mention I come from

Egypt, did I?" "I think you left that part out," Bakura said. "Well then, I was flapping

around, minding my own business, trying not to get blown out of the air back when heck broke

loose. I was just over the center of the palace when this giant golden light rams right

into me. Next thing I know, I'm in Nightgrove and I can talk. But I think I'd like to go

back now." "Yeah, how do we get home?" Joey asked. Yami Layhon stepped forward. He said,

"I can do it. We need a circle of Items." After a bit of confusion, Yami Layhon, Bakura,

Yugi, and I were in a circle. Joey, Taya, and Tristan were inside, and Clab sat on Taya's

shoulder. Yami Layhon chanted, the Items glowed, and the next thing we knew, we were back

in Yugi's room. I went back to my Soul Room, and decided to go to sleep.














My plans were thwarted when Jainlia and Grandpa rushed in. "Oh thank goodness you

came back safely!" Apparently, they had woken and decided to check on us, only to find us

missing. Jainlia walked right up to Yami Layhon. I could sense Yugi about to tell her that

this wasn't her nephew, but instead Jainlia said, "I'll bet you slept through the entire

thing, too! I thought you were supposed to be a protecting force!" "Quite the contrary,

madam. Layhon didn't really need my help." Yami Layhon went back to the Item, and Layhon

gave his aunt a hug. "Yeah, aunt Jainlia, I can take care of myself!" "Well, this is very

touching and all, but what am I, chopped liver?" Clab fluttered over to perch on Yugi's bed.

It was an interesting round of introductions. But since it was still nighttime, Grandpa

told us all to get to sleep. Instead of sleeping, I went to my false form and went to look

out the window. I heard a rustling footstep. Yami Layhon stepped up. "So you finally

recognized me," he said. "I thought Layhon looked familiar. But, I have to ask, what

happened to you?" "I was using my full power, and your spell decided to give me my own

special container." "And Jainlia knows about you?" "Knows? She _gave_ the Mirror to Layhon

when he was an infant. She told me she wanted her nephew to be happy and safe. As far as

he's concerned, I'm like the perfect brother. Always helping, and always there. I take it

your Yugi solved the Puzzle?" "He said something about his Grandpa giving it to him as a

deathbed present." Both of us laughed quietly. With a rustle of feathers, Clab landed on

Yami Layhon's shoulder. "I was wondering what had happened to you," Yami Layhon said. Clab

preened. "Well, It's no fun dodging dragons, I'll tell you." He paused. "So, what now

boss?" "Please don't call me 'boss'. Call me Yalanlon, it's my name." I snickered. "Hey,

your name isn't that normal either, _YUGIOH_." "At least it's not as weird as yours."

"Mine takes the cake! Clabercloosh the Twenty-Third is as weird as they get!" We all

covered our mouths so as not to wake the others.










Okay, so Yami was kind of OOC. And I have more people with weird names in here. Plus, i'm not certain if Yami's name in Egypt was Yugioh, but let's pretend it was.
Face it, i'm a very weird person.
Hope you liked the story - I have a sequel in the works but it needs a lot of work.
I know! Okay, from this point on, everybody give me suggestions on how the sequel should play out.

For example:
With there be Yaoi?
Or the return of certain evil characters (who might be revaped to be more threatening)?
Perhaps something entirely different will come about.
It's up to you!
See ya!
