Disclaimer: THEY'RE NOT MINE! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?! MUST I GO THROUGH THE ANGUISH EVERYTIME I WRITE A STORY, THE CRUEL ANGUISH THAT I WILL PROBABLY NEVER OWN MY BISHIES?!

Yami: Yup.

Seto: That's just the way it is, Macavity.

Me: Oh, don't rub it in. pout

Author's Notes: Duel with Destiny was the very first thing I ever posted on FanFiction.net, and you all made it a success! Thank you all so much! Having said that, I'm afraid it's time to end this series of poems, but on a slightly happier note than it started. I'M SO HAPPY YAMI AND YUGI FREED SETO! He looked so cute just as he was waking up. That's when I realized I just how much I missed him.

That said, it's my pleasure to present Duel with Destiny: The Grand Finale!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It's been so long,

Locked away,

Watching the duels

Day after day,



The struggle raged,

From side to side,

He fought with hate,

You fought with pride,



But when you found

The only way

To win the game

You were forced to play



He changed the rules,

He changed the fight,

He tried to kill

Your little light,



I tried to cry

To ease your pain,

His sacrifice

Was not in vain,



You didn't know it,

But I helped too,

I stayed beside you

Through and through,



I helped to hide you

From his eyes,

I protected you

From all his lies,



You couldn't feel me,

But I was there.

And then I saw

That I do care.



You won the fight,

You set me free,

You gave my brother

Back to me,



How could I know

Just what to say?

I'd never, ever

Felt this way,



But now I know,

And now I see

All the things

That you've shown me.



Thank you, Yami,

And I promise you:

I'll pay you back

In Season Two!

Well, that's that! The grand finale of "Duel with Destiny"! I hope everybody liked my poems. I really put my heart into them.

Next, I'd like to apologize for not updating any of my stories in so long. Wretched school-it takes away from my writing time! Honest, if I didn't have a study hall I think I'd go mad! Homework horribly cramps writing time. shudder But I promise to do my best, get my rear in gear, and keep writing!

I figure it'd be nice to publish a list of the narrators for all these poems. Congrats to everyone who got my little challenge right!

DwD #1: Seto Kaiba

DwD #2: Yami Mutou (I got a few questions about this. Only Yami narrates, not Yugi.)

DwD #3: Mokuba Kaiba

DwD #4: Maximillion Pegasus (EVIL! EVIL PEGASUS! DIEEEEEEE!)

DwD #5: Joey Wheeler

DwD #6: Mai Valentine

DwD #7: Um.if you can't figure it out, I'm not telling you. (Hint: Who started this whole thing? He decided to do a repeat performance. ^___^)

Yami: I can't believe you actually finished something you started!

Seto: I'm so impressed, Macavity!

Me: Gee, thanks. It's funny, usually I think I have a great idea, and then it gets kind of boring. That's what happens with my chaptered stories. I wonder why?

Seto: Maybe because you're a lazy bum?

Me: SETO!

Yami: What? He's entitled to his opinion!

Me: I am not a lazy bum!

Yami: You said you were, earlier!

Me: No, I said I need to get my rear in gear and write more. I never said anything about being a lazy bum.

Seto: reading above notes Dang. She's right.

Yami: Shoot.

Me: glomp

Yami: Oof.

Seto: Oof.

I hope you all liked these! Just to clarify, all these poems are mine. I have not copied them, nor did I base them on anything except my own feelings on the show. They belong solely to me, and thus you may not lay claim to them. MINE! NOT YOURS! MINE! (Sorry, I'm feeling a little possessive today.)

Joey the Flame Swordsman and Flamina, the angel minion of fire are going to torch any and all nasty reviews. In short, don't flame if you don't like what I do. Anyway, PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
