Notes: After a long time, here's the final conclusion to 'The Stranger I Once Knew'. Yeah. Triple updates today. Yes, I'm that desperate to finish this before March comes upon us. Oh well. Happy reading.

Disclaimer: Yes, yes, I own Yugioh. Err, I mean no I don't own Yugioh. Ha, ha. I'm running out of ideas for disclaimers.

Epilogue

Flying…no, I'm floating…. She thought tiredly to herself. Her head was pounding with pain and she felt no need to wake herself up…much or less open even one of her eyes. Her heart wished for the pain to leave, and leave her to her much needed slumber.

"Rebecca…Rebecca…." A voice insisted, causing her to groan out of annoyance.

Try as she might, she could not rid of the voice that changed endlessly. Rebecca, Rebecca. The voice sang, like an endless echo. The voice persisted until she was finally fed up.

"What!?" She snapped, finally opening her eyes. And when she did, she regretted it. "What the!?" Staring downwards, she saw nothing, but a dark black abyss that seemed to go on for infinity. "What is going on…?"

"Rebecca Hawkins, do you know where you are?"

"Who-, what are you? Tell me this isn't like another series of dreams like when I had when I tried to commit suicide." Even when she spoke the words, the pain in her head refused to subside, irritating her further.

"Rebecca, do not panic. You do not need to know who I am. Your questions, should not, be directed about me. Instead, they should concern yourself."

"Me…?"

"Yes, you." The voice continued. "My question to you is, will you return to life? Will you try another chance for your life?"

That's right. Rebecca thought angrily. Didn't Professor Yoshida kill me…? As she recalled upon her memories, the pain in her head increase. She felt weakened as a wave of dizziness struck her, causing her vision to blur.

"This, what you are in now is a trial for you-, if you choose to move on or not."

Rebecca couldn't help but smile a bitter sad smile. "Didn't I already tempt face too many times?"

"And what if fate was willing to give you a another chance?"

"I used a first chance to die and erase all the pain I suffered from. I thought it would work. But it didn't." Rebecca stared off, engrossed in her thoughts and memories. Shaking her head grimly, she continued. "I wasted a second chance by becoming None. And then…I realized that it was stupid of me to throw away a human life in exchange for a non-human one to erase the emotions I had to deal with…. I was given a third chance. A third chance to become Rebecca Hawkins again and have a future…." As soon as the word 'future' slipped her lips, she fell silent.

"And you thought the third chance was the last chance you'll need."

"Yes. I thought I didn't need another chance. I really did believed that this chance will be everything my future will be about…." Rebecca trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished. Pulling on a hard look, she allowed herself to continue. "They say third times' the charm…. But who would have thought-," She chocked over the words, unable to finish. Her hands clenched in tight fists and she gritted her teeth. "Do you see? My future was stolen from me! I don't' want another chance. It will just cause me more pain and problems!"

"Is this your final choice? Remember, there will be no change after this decision."

"Yes…this is my final choice."

"So it is."

…. End.

End Notes: Finally, ended. The ending, I must say so myself, is rather hasty and all of a sudden. Yeah, shows that I'm a crappy writer and a lazy idiot. But, before I end this, I'm going to thank the readers. They are….
