21 reviews!! *begins to sob uncontrollably, overjoyed* 21! I love you guys!! *regains control; wipes off face and smiles* I'm going to be sad when this is over. My only consolation will be that I will continue to write.
Yugia: I'm sorry that I have to keep putting in cliffhangers, but it's the only way that I'm going to get some people to review.

'I hope this works..'
Kayma stared at Bakura Ryou, her eyes now fully a dirty golden color. She trembled, but stayed upright, as she said in a voice that was too calm and steady for her pale appearance, "I know you're there. You can show yourself now."
Bakura shivered and changed subtly. He grinned and looked at Kayma. A rough voice that was not Bakura's issued from his mouth as he said, "Ah, yes. The little redheaded magician girl.."
She closed her eyes slightly and asked, "How long have you been there?"
His smirk grew as he replied, "Ever since you told my dear host here to go stand in the corner. Now, tell me. What little trick do you have up your sleeve?"
Kayma held the spirit's gaze and began to chant the spell.

Bakura shuddered again and the Millennium Ring hanging around his neck glowed a deep golden color. Kayma leapt forward and snatched it off, throwing it to the floor and, in the same movement, held out her hand in a beckoning gesture.
"Come, Spirit of the Millennium Ring!" she cried. There was a flash of light, and a single card floated to the floor like a feather. Kayma stumbled over to it and wearily picked it up.
*Double of the Unfortunate*
She smiled. 'Bakura is free...' was her last thought before she slipped into unconsciousness.

"Kayma?" A voice slowly wormed its way into Kayma's mind, and she slowly awoke. Her eyelids felt heavy as marble, but she slowly managed to open them, and saw a fuzzy, unidentifiable face slip into her view.
"Whuuh..."
"Kayma? Are you awake?" She blinked and sat up. Yugi and Joey gradually swam into view, crouched next to her.
Kayma nodded, muttering, "Yeah, I'm awake.." Her eyes focused at last, and she saw Joey hold out the cards that held his friends.
"Can you free them?" he asked, desperation creeping into his voice.
She stood up shakily and nodded. Looking about, she saw Bakura laying on the couch, eyes closed, asleep. Smiling ever-so-slightly, she took the cards, but not before she placed the card 'Double of the Unfortunate' in her pocket. Then it hit, sudden and burning.
"Uuh." Kayma fell to her knees, doubling up in agony. The pain...the pain was back... noooooo......the voice...
She moaned, curled up on the floor, unaware of the two boys staring at her in bewilderment.

That's it for now. The story 'Anime Thief' draws to a close... This is the one of the last chapters of the actual story, but there will be another few chapters and an epilogue. And a sequel. *looks at readers with a mildly astonished expression* What? The idea just hit me, and I HAD to use it. Reviews will be appreciated greatly if they are given; and if they are given after I finish the story, that will show that it is still being read. Please enjoy, and remember, even ONE review makes a difference. Thank you.
