Damn, this chapter took a long time to update! So sorry about that… school's a bitch, especially when it's private… Sorry! But this is the last chapter… hope you all like it. Yeah, its angsty… how else would I make it? Thank you all so much for reviewing ^_^ Especially… well, you know who you are. Love you guys! Oh, and if Cat is still reading this (which I doubt) could she/he tell me if the story was less boring? I dunno- I want to see if I made improvement.
Ok… about the questions. Lets just say they did everything because if they didn't, she would take away their souls and put them into the shadow realm O.O; Good question! Also, she won't be happy. This is an angst fic, right?
Finally… this is like an epilogue. The song used here is, "When I am Queen" by Jack off Jill. Great song… so anyway, the times might skip around, and random shots here and there… you know? Just to give everyone a sense of what happened later.
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Never have, never will!
"Malik!" Anzu cried, voice filled with horror. "No! No, Malik, no!" She rushed toward the figure crumpled on the ground, two headlights streaming away from the site of the accident. "Malik, Malik, oh god, oh my fucking god, Malik!" She picked the limp form off the ground, cradling its head in her arms. "Malik, you can't leave me, Malik! You're the only one I have left… Malik, come on… come on, Malik! MALIK!!" Finally, she broke down in sobs, crying her heart away- something she had not done since she acquired the millennium items several months ago. After killing a few people and establishing herself as Queen, she had named her lover King. And for several months they were happily in love and the world was peacefully united under one ruler.
And then he died.
~When I am queen I will insist with perfect scars upon my wrists
that everything you once held dear is taken away from you~
She had taken away everything that was important to her old friends- their lives, the lives of the ones they loved- until eventually they were all either dead or in the mental hospital. The scales in her heart protested… they pained her. Constantly, she was feeling a tearing and ripping in her heart. But then she would be with Malik, and everything would feel better, right. The pain would stop.
It was tearing her apart now. There was no one to ease it, no one to help her. She, the almighty Queen, felt for the first time in years the pain of loneliness and despair. She pulled the knife across her wrist and watched the crimson blood flow out, down her arm, to the floor. The pain from the scales was unbearable.
~When I am queen sweet girl scout's face and not a one will fall from grace
If all their hearts I could replace, but until then I'll have to...~
If only she could redo the past. Nightly, she would watch from the necklace the old times, when she was her happy self. When they were fighting Pegasus, when she thought she had friends. And then, too, she would feel relief and be soothed.
She would destroy the power of the millennium items when she killed herself. They would vanish, everything would be fine. She watched the blood flow, thick, warm- it was cold outside, but the blood warmed her arms.

She was drinking with Malik, with Marik. They were having a party… until Marik tried to assassinate her, that is. He was locked away, locked far far away, and no one knew where he was… deep under the water… he would die alone, because Malik was gone.
He was gone.
~When I am queen on royal thrown made out of parts of broken bones
of all the devils I have known that suck the angels dry~
What was she? Was she a demon? She was called that, she was called many things. She was many things. She punished and she pardoned, she was hateful and merciful, her throne was made of gold and jewels- she was the Queen and everyone worshiped her. And him.
Who would they worship now? What would they do now? Fall apart, wars, death… that was all in store for the leaderless world. They could kill each other.
Without her guidance. They could do that all by themselves.
~When I am queen I'll have my way I'll make it drowning dolly day
and all the tears that we have cried will suck back in our eyes~
Shizuka… what had happened to her? She had scared Anzu, with her purity and love- she was the opposite of Mai, she was a doll… Anzu smirked. An eyeless doll- no one wants those. They want perfection. Perfection is what she had… and they hated her for it. She was so much like Shizuka… she had saved her from the same fate.
They ruined her life… they made her do this, none of it was her fault, they forced her! How could they have abandoned her? How?
Anzu looked into the lake, so dark and deep. What would it be like to breath water? To be surrounded by water… to drown?
She looked at the blood on her arms. They were covered in red. Drip… drip… drip… They'll bury us in the same grave.

"What are you doing, girl?" Malik asked, voice void of emotion. "What do you think you're doing? Anzu! Wait!" He jumped into the water after her. He pulled her out, saved her life, killed the others.
'I loved you,' she thought. 'And this is what you do to me?' The blood- was it flowing? Wait- that can't be! What was happening, it was impossible! Anzu felt the resistance of all the items in her body, all refusing to disappear… "No!" she wailed in horror, looking at her shining arms. "NO!"
~Hush baby hush baby
Hush baby go to sleep
Hush baby hush baby
Hush baby I'll make it be~
The night, with Malik, that was her first time. He was so gentle, so unlike himself… He gave her everything. Seto gave her more, Ishizu gave her more, she was complete. Until they were gone, until she found out, until Sezu was revived. Sezu, the Goddess of Misery. Why did she chose that name?
The blood- it was pooling around her, moving up her arm, into the cut, the scales, they were sucking everything in, the necklace, it was turning back the time, this couldn't be happening! She was going to die! She was going to be with Malik again… this couldn't be happening.
Then why was it?
~When I am queen I will not wait my body type will still be great
I will not leave it up to fate because I hate you too~
There… it was all over, all over. She had failed- all that was left were the scars. She couldn't end this life, she was too bound by the items. They would not let her go, she was their vessel. Their vessel for destruction.
It was Malik's funeral. He was buried alone, gone, lost. And she couldn't do anything to bring him back. And she was alone, so alone, so lost.
"Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Ki- why the hell are you asking me all this, bastard? Kill them all! And kill yourself while you're at it!"
"B-but, my Queen, y-y-you cccannot bbe serious!" the poor man whimpered. "This woman's only crime was being blind! And what have I done to deserve death?" Anzu narrowed her eyes. "No, please, no! NO!" he screamed as his soul was sucked from his body. The scales no longer hurt- they had given up on her. She was too far gone.
She was once just, she felt love. Now…
~When I am queen they all will see the patron saint of self-injury
the glitter sores will heal themselves I'll play the part of someone else~
The cuts had healed, the pain was gone. Anzu had been queen for fifteen years. She was no longer Anzu- she was Sezu. The goddess, all powerful, immortal. Terrified, depressed. She wanted to be like the child she had just killed. She wanted to be innocent. To turn back the clock, to go back in time.
What you don't know can't hurt you. It only hurts when you find out.
She wanted her friends back. Mai was the last one to die- yesterday. Everything had come in a full circle. Except her. All she wanted was a moment of peace, of happiness. Was that too much ton ask for? Yes. All she wanted was friendship. Was that too much to hope for? Yes.
"All bow down before the great Sezu!" Whose lives would she ruin today?
