Shadows Story

Hello once more! This is the last and final chapter! Finally, eh? I geared you all up for the ending, and it's finally here! Yay!!(I'm sorry it took so long, but I was trying really hard to keep it close to the manga/anime ;) WOOT! Extra long chappie.

Disclaimer-NO! I DON'T OWN YGO!

The next day

Mahaado had set out for the day, to the late pharaohs tomb, to make sure all the traps were set properly, and that Bakura could not loot it again.

Before he left, he had requested around ten soldiers from Shadow, which she granted. As he left, she stood at the top of the palace stairs. The soldiers were dragging along a monster-tablet behind them on a makeshift cart. She didn't exactly understand this, but it really wasn't any of her concern at the moment. She had other things to attend to. Such as, checking the city over, assessing the damage, and reporting back.

She sighed, as she began her treed down to the city for her day of work.

Later, during the night

Shadow tossed and turned in bed, then slowly sat up. She couldn't sleep for some reason. It was quite late. She needed sleep. But, she had this horrible feeling that something just wasn't right. She got out of bed, and slowly made her way to the small balcony that was attached to her room.

She peered down at the many temple-like buildings that were near the city. She heard yelling, which stopped after a moment. She raised an eyebrow at this, but shrugged slightly, not thinking much of it.

About 15 minutes passed while she stood there. Just as she was about to go back to her bed, to try and sleep, she saw Yami riding away on a horse, with Mana as an extra rider. At this, Shadow became slightly worried. What was going on? Why were they leaving to go somewhere in the middle of the night? And with no escort?

A hundred questions a minute raced through her mind, but she quickly dismissed them. She really needed sleep, even though she couldn't exactly afford it. Her brain refused to function properly, and she felt slightly sick. Her stomach, which was still bandaged, and healing, felt worse for some reason, at this moment.

She sighed, and decided to get dressed, and go get something to eat. If she couldn't sleep, she mine as well work.

She hadn't even finished her first piece of fruit when high priest Shadi rushed into the kitchens.

"Shadow! Come now! We need to go after the pharaoh. He needs help." He blurted quickly.

Shadow jumped up, tossed the half eaten fruit into a basket, and raced after Shadi to the stables with the rest of the high priests.

She quickly mounted a horse, and raced off ahead of the priests.

Why was this happening now? What was happening to Egypt? So many things were going wrong now, she didn't know what to do.

As she rode, a sudden feeling of foreboding, dread, and what felt like a death, flashed through her. She dreaded to find out what had happened.

The sun had already begun to rise as she approached the place where Mana and Yami were. As she came closer, a group of black-cloaked creatures, for she had no idea who or what they were, began to ride away from the place where Yami and Mana stood.

When she reached them, she saw that Mana was crying, and she could now see why. A large stone tablet rested against a cliff wall. On it was carved the likeness of Mahaado, as his Baa (A/N-I'm actually not too sure if it was Baa or Kaa, so if someone knows, I would like to know), his soul monster.

The rest of the priests rode up behind her, and saw the site before them.

Shadow had no comporting words for Mana. She had none for herself. She couldn't even cry at the death of her friend. She had no tears left to spill.

She got off her horse, and walked over to Mana, and crouched down beside her.

"Mana. . ."She touched Mana's shoulder.

Mana turned to Shadow, her face tear stained. "Why?!" was her only chocked out word, before she flung her arms around Shadow, and continued to cry.

Shadow sat there, and just let Mana cry into her. Shadow knew how Mana must have felt. Mahaado had been like an older brother to her.

That night

Shadow bolted down the halls of the palace as fast she could, trying to get to the main courtyard, where Bakura had been spotted.

When she reached it, she found, off in the distance, that one of the temples that held soul monsters had nearly fallen down from what appeared to have been an explosion, and a small majority of the guards that were there, were dead. Killed by Bakura.

A small group of them stood in the way of his horse, but Diaboundo flew over, and destroyed them all.

Diaboundo looked different to Shadow. Then, she realized, Bakura had taken the Ring from Mahaado, and now Diaboundo was even stronger than before!

Another group of soldiers chased after Bakura's horse, along with Shadow.

Just then, Yami came riding out of the palace on a horse, and began to chase after Bakura himself.

"Yami?! What in the name of Anubis is he doing?!" Shadow cursed to herself. As she was about to go get her own horse to follow, Yami summoned another of the god cards. Slypher, the sky dragon (A/N-I know that isn't his actual Japanese name, but I have forgotten it at the moment).

She stopped for a moment, and watched the great red dragon as it flew over Yami in the sky. It looked so much like the one on the book she had given him for his birthday.

She shook her head, and continued on her way to the stables to get a horse.

When she had gotten her horse, and mounted it, she realized that Seto had taken his only a few seconds prier, and followed Yami himself.

She cursed herself for being so much slower than she had been. It was her wound. It still hadn't completely healed, and it was slowing her down now, more than ever.

She nudged her horse in the side, and rode out of the stables. It wasn't too hard to find where they had gone, since all she had to do was follow the monsters that flew through the sky over their masters.

As she went, she saw Diaboundo throw shots at Slypher. They were exactly like the blasts Mahaado's soul monster had used.

She cursed, and nudged her horse to go faster.

Slypher returned the blasts with one of his own. Shadow couldn't really see all too well, but it looked as though it just hit the ground, and nothing more. Then she saw Diaboundo come up through the ground, right beside Yami.

Diaboundo tried to shoot a blast at Yami, but Slypher blocked it, and blasted Diaboundo right in the chest, making it fly backwards.

Diaboundo regained itself, and threw two blasts down onto the rows of houses, destroying nearly all of them. Shadow could hear the screams of people as they were killed by Diaboundo's attacks.

Shadow couldn't tell what Diaboundo was attacking next, but for some reason Slypher blocked the attacks. Diaboundo then commenced in throwing attack after attack at Slypher.

People were screaming and running in every direction.

Finally, she could see the two stop off in the distance. Bakura, on top of a short building, and Yami just below.

They were talking, Shadow couldn't tell of what though. She saw Diaboundo ready one of his mighty attacks that had destroyed the mountainside at Kura Eruna. Slypher shot an attack at Diaboundo, and it returned it's own. The two attacks hit and exploded in mid-air.

Slypher then grabbed onto Diaboundo's tail with one of its mouths, and began to drag it high into the sky. Somehow, Diaboundo slipped its tail out of Slyphers mouth, and the two monsters faced each other. Diaboundo seemed to disappear into the very sky itself. A blast came from behind Slypher, which hit full on, causing Slypher to fly forward.

Shadow could see Yami lurch forward. The battle was taking its toll on him.

She slowed her horse, as she drew nearer to the two men. She was about five blocks from them. She could see Seto ahead of her.

She could see, what appeared to be, Yami removing the puzzle from around his neck, and holding it out for Bakura.

"What is he doing?!" She whispered to herself in slight alarm.

As he did this, Slypher cam flying down from the sky, mouth agape. It was going to eat Bakura. But, as it got closer, it slowed, then stopped. Shadow could suddenly see why.

Diaboundo had come up from the ground, and had one hand so that it could either crush him, or destroy him with a quick blast.

As its hand drew closer around Yami, Seto called forth a monster, which made quick work of Diaboundo's hand. It sliced it right off. Shadow hurried her horse, and she rode closer to Seto, as they came upon Yami and Bakura.

As they did, Bakura's horse reared, and he rode away, Diaboundo following overhead. Shadow quickly called forth Seiyaryu, to help Slypher and Seto's monster.

It turned out that a few soldiers had followed her. She yelled orders at them to make sure all the people who were in the city, got to the safety of the palace. They nodded, and rode away.

Slypher flew after Bakura with a quick command from Yami. Seto's monster and Seiyaryu also followed. As they did, Diaboundo attacked from the cover of darkness, and obliterated Seiyaryu. Shadow lurched forward from the blow.

"Shadow!" Yami shouted, looking over his shoulder, before quickly moving to see where Bakura had gone.

Seto looked over at her. "Are you alright?" Shadow gave him a funny look, then quickly nodded.

Yami began to ride after Bakura.

"Pharaoh!"Seto shouted, then began to ride after him. Shadow quickly followed.

They rode towards a high cliff, Bakura sat on his horse, atop it. Yami stopped as he came upon a gorge that was at the bottom of the cliff.

"You really think you can beat me, pharaoh?!" Bakura shouted down to him.

"Bakura, you know perfectly well Diaboundo doesn't stand against a god card!"Yami shouted back. (A/N-I know their dialogue sucks, but I'm only getting the gist from an untranslated episode')

Suddenly, another attack came from Diaboundo, under the cover of darkness. Yami quickly called a counter attack. As Slypher readied his attack, he suddenly stopped, and was destroyed by Diaboundo's attack. Yami yelled out in pain, and held his chest. "Yami!"Shaodw shouted, worried about her friend.

Bakura simply laughed.

"Ba-bakura. . ."Yami muttered, and frown set upon his face.

Bakura smiled, and called upon Diaboundo. "Attack the pharaoh!" he shouted.

Diaboundo obeyed immediately, sending a purple blast at Yami.

Yami's horse reared as the blast came near. Yami had been at slowly climbing the edge of the cliff, to reach Bakura, so when the blast hit, the part of the wall he was on began to collapse.

When the smoke cleared, it was revealed the Yami had managed to cling to the ledge of the cliff.

Bakura stood over him, laughing. He bent down, and retrieved the millennium puzzle from Yami, then stood back up.

"You see pharaoh, I win." Bakura said, then slammed his foot down, causing the small area Yami was holding onto, break off the wall, and he began to fall.

"Yami!!" Shadow shouted, her horse rearing slightly.

Bakura slowly walked away from the edge, disappearing from view.

"We must go back to the palace, and tell them what happened. We need to find out what to do!" Seto said, turning his horse around, and riding away.

Shadow slowly nodded, sadness welling up inside her, which quickly became anger. She reared her horse, turning it around, and rode after Seto.

When they were back at the palace, Seto yelled at some soldiers, when they told him they couldn't find Yami.

Shadow simply stood behind him, and a few of the other priests who were there, her hair in her face so they couldn't see it.

Seto then walked away, and disappeared.

Shadow, too, left the throne room.

She wandered down the vast hallways of the palace to her chambers. Once there, she walked out onto the balcony and stared down upon the courtyards.

She jumped as a blast of blue light came up from the ground near the middle of the courtyard. She raised an eyebrow. She shook her head, uninterested, and looked away, towards the mountains where she had lost Yami.

Just then, someone knocked on her door.

"Come in..." she called, still gazing at the mountains.

Shadi came into her room.

"Shadahrien, we're going out to search for the pharaoh..."

"I'm coming." She said, tearing her gaze away from the mountains, and following Shadi outside.

Once there, Shadi headed for the stables, and Aishisu intercepted Shadow.

"Shadahrien, may I suggest a faster way to search for the pharaoh?"

Shadow quickly nodded.

"Good...why not send out Seiyaryu, it can cover more ground quickly, and it can fly."

Shadow nodded. "That's a great idea Aishisu, thank you." Shadow then stepped down onto the stairway, and called upon Seiyaryu.

Seiyaryu flew down from the sky, and landed elegantly in front of Shadow.

"Seiyaryu, you must go search for the pharaoh. Look in every possible place you can." Seiyaryu roared in response, and flew off.

Aishisu walked over to Shadow.

"You can use the power of the millennium tauk to see what your monster sees, you know."

Shadow looked over at Aishisu. "Really?"

Aishisu nodded. "It's easy, really..."

Seiyaryu

Seiyaryu flew overtop of Shadi and the small group of soldiers he had with him.

Shadi looked up, amazed to see Seiyaryu now, after what had happened with the battle with Bakura.

Seiyaryu flew down, into a canyon, searching. It then flew over a river, finally spotting Yami. Along with him, was Mana.

Following behind Seiyaryu on horseback was Shadi and his group of soldiers.

Seiyaryu roared as Shadi quickly exchanged words with Yami. Yami then got onto a horse, Mana sitting behind him. The group then rode off. Seiyaryu flew back to the castle.

Unfortunately, the group wasn't riding the same way as Seiyaryu; they were riding towards Kuru Eruna.

Shadow nearly freaked out when she realized this. Seiyaryu landed once more in front of her. Shadow quickly dismissed it, making it disappear.

She then bolted down the stairs, towards the stables.

Kuru Eruna was a long ride, and she didn't have much time.

She burst into the stables, quickly looked around, and grabbed the fastest horse she could. She then mounted, and rode out of the stables, out of the courtyards, out of the city, and towards Kuru Eruna.

She cursed under her breath as she rode. Her stomach lurched with nearly every stride of the horse. She placed one hand over the bandaging that were tightly bound over her still healing wound. She cursed once more, then urged her horse to go faster.

When she finally reached Kuru Eruna, she got off her horse, and quickly ran to the side of one building, giving up her lunch to the sand.

She cough several times, blood beginning to come up. She gasped for air, then wiped away the blood and bile.

She sighed, and stumbled backwards, back into the main street of the demolished city.

She looked around, and saw Mana kneeling down beside a huge hole in the ground. Shadi and about 3 soldiers stood nearby.

She ran over to them, ignoring the sharp protests from her stomach.

"Where is he? Is he alright?!" She demanded, getting right in Shadi's face.

Shadi nodded, and pointed down into the hole Mana was kneeling by.

Shadow moved around the soldiers, and kneeled down beside Mana. By this time, her stomach had had too much excitement. She held back the feeling to give up the contents of her stomach to the sand once more, and settled for another quick coughing fit. Blood, once more, began to come up. She ignored it this time, and peered down into the hole.

She could see Bakura standing overtop what appeared to be a sarcophagus, and Yami standing across the chamber from him.

Diaboundo was not there, but Shadow had the feeling it was just hiding itself in the darkness. It turned out that Mana had somehow called upon her soul monster, and it was holding Mahaado in the air by one arm.

Shadow looked down upon the whole mess. Mahaado was no longer living, but his Baa and Kaa combined, Mana was only a child, and helping in a battle, Shadi, a high priest, could do nothing, her soldiers were useless, she was sick, and could barely help, the pharaoh was injured, and Bakura stood, looking like he was triumphant already.

She frowned, and cursed to herself.

Just then, she heard hoof beats, and she turned, to see the rest of the priests riding up, towards the small group.

She turned back to the hole, to see Mana climbing down a pillar that was directly beside the hole. As She neared the middle of the pillar, Shadow followed suit, carefully climbing down, into the chamber.

"Mana! Shadow!" Yami said, as the two girls jumped from the pillar onto the floor of the chamber beside him.

"Pharaoh!" Mana said happily.

Shadow half heartedly smiled at Yami, who smiled back.

"Mana!" Mahaado said.

"Yes!" she replied, motioning for her monster to attack.

As the two monsters attacked, the spirits of Kuru Eruna formed together as a shield for Diaboundo.

Bakura laughed. "With the spirits of Kuru Eruna on my side to protect Diaboundo, Diaboundo is indestructible!"

As the smoke cleared, the spirits separated, forming two more Diaboundo's.

"Diaboundo . . ."

"Multiplied . . ."

"How is that possible?!"

Bakura smiled, and explained. "Diaboundo has the ability to use the spirits to create copies of itself!"

As he finished, the monsters moved in for an attacked, and Mana and Mahaado retaliated by attacking them with spheres of energy. The two copies were easily destroyed.

Diaboundo fired an attack back, hitting Mahaado full force, and slamming him back against a wall.

Yami went down on one knee, holding his stomach, for he was supporting Mahaado's manifestation with his own baa (A/N-I think it's the baa, I can't quite remember . . .).

"Yami!" Mana said, kneeling down beside him.

"Are you alright?" Shadow asked, crouching slightly.

Yami didn't have time to answer, for Bakura called Diaboundo to attack again.

Mana quickly used a spell she had learned from Mahaado, called Magical hats. The three were covered by a giant hat, which split. Diaboundo's attack missed them.

Bakura growl slightly. "Diaboundo, multiple attack!"

Diaboundo shot balls of energy at each of the hats, hitting the one with the group inside it last, flinging them back.

"Finally! I win!"Bakura said, as Diaboundo moved to swipe at them with one of it's monstrous clawed hands.

Just then, a blade flew from behind them, and hit Diaboundo's arm. Bakura grabbed his own arm in pain as the high priests rushed into the cavernous chamber.

"All you alright?" Shimon asked Yami.

"Yes . . ."Yami replied.

"Mahaado . . ." Aishisu said, as she saw what had become of her friend.

"Aishisu" He replied.

"Where are Shadi and Akunadin?" Shadow asked Karimu.

He shook his head and shrugged.

Shadow frowned. All the high priests should have been here. It was their sworn bound duty to protect the pharaoh.

"Aishisu," Karimu said, "the pharaoh is weak, and hurt."

Aishisu nodded and summoned the mystical elf, which healed Yami.

Bakura snarled to himself, and Yami stood to face him. As did the rest of the priests, Mana, and Shadow.

Karimu summoned curse of Dragon, as Bakura called for Diaboundo to attack.

Diaboundo fired at Curse of Dragon, which dodged, as did Mahaado, and Mana's soul monster.

Seto then called for his monster to attack, and as it did, the rest followed. Unfortunately, the spirits protected Diaboundo once again. Bakura chuckled to himself.

"How many times must I tell you all, as long as the spirits of Kuru Eruna are around, Diaboundo is protected from all attacks." He said, smiling.

Shadow frowned deeply. How could the townspeople do this? How could their spirits protect one so evil, as Bakura? She shook her head slightly, and glared up at the smiling Bakura. Her stomach gave a sudden lurch, and she gagged slightly, a bit of blood coming up. The priests, and even Yami, were too preoccupied with Bakura to notice.

"It's hopeless for you all! Diaboundo, attack the mystic elf!" and with that, Diaboundo destroyed Aishisu's monster.

Aishisu gasped, and put a hand over her heart.

Yami ran over to her, and kneeled down. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"I think so." she replied.

Bakura simply laughed.

Seto called his monster to attack the wall of spirits that surrounded Diaboundo, but it was repelled, and sent backwards.

Diaboundo fired balls of energy at the remaining monsters, making the priests, Yami, and Mana fall onto their knees from pain.

Seto stood, "You will not win, Bakura!"

"Seto!" Karimu said, "With the power of the millennium scales, I can fuse our monsters together, to create a stronger one."

Seto looked at him for a moment, then nodded.

Karimu then called upon the power of the millennium scale, and fused his curse of dragon with Seto's monster, creating a new, stronger monster. The monster then attacked Diaboundo. This time, instead of using the spirits to protect him, Bakura called for Diaboundo to return the attack with one of it's own. The two attacks met, and were equal in strength.

Bakura frowned, then quickly went back to smiling as he called for Diaboundo to add another of it's attacks to the one it was already using. The attack slowly moved through the other, and went to hit Karimu and Seto's monster.

Seto quickly called for their monster to block the attack with its sword, but the sword quickly became heated from Diaboundo's attack.

Seto's arm began to heat up, as his monsters did, so he asked Karimu to evoke the power of the scales once more.

And Karimu did. He used the power of the scales to redirect the attack back at Diaboundo, at the wall of spirits. The attack hit the spirits full on.

Seto's arm practically began to sizzle with heat.

Shadow felt like throwing up from the smell, but decided against it, for the sake that her stomach wouldn't be able to take it. Speaking of which, as soon as she thought of this, her stomach gave another lurch, and she coughed up some blood. She gasped for air, and looked up at Bakura wearily.

As she did this, he summoned another monster, which appeared behind the line of monsters, and attacked Karimu.

Karimu dropped the scales, and fell to his knees.

"Karimu!" Yami said, moving forward slightly.

Karimu watched as a spirit came close to him, swooped down, and snatched up his scales.

It then flew back over to Bakura, and dropped them in his hand.

"Ah, well, now that I have these, your monster splits back into two separate monsters."

As Bakura said this, they did just that. The two monsters split back into the original two.

After this, Diaboundo attacked once more, then again, throwing then all backwards.

Aishisu got up, and ran over to Karimu, who was laying on the ground, gasping for air.

Shadow grunted slightly, as she got up, she held her stomach, and coughed up even more blood. She could feel her temperature rising, and she groaned, but bore with the pain.

Yami slowly stood up near her and watched as Bakura fused Diaboundo with the monster that had attacked Karimu.

Diaboundo was now stronger, and, in Shadows opinion, uglier.

"Fear the new powers of Diaboundo!" Bakura said with a laugh.

"Bakura. . ."Yami said, stepping forward, "I will not let you win." He continued to walk forward, past the priests.

"Pharaoh!" A few of then said as he passed.

"Yami . . ." Shadow muttered to herself, as she knelt down slowly from the pain of her stomach.

"You really are foolish, aren't you pharaoh?" Bakura said, his smile still plastered to his face.

"I will not allow you to beat us down, and win." Yami said, his head bent so he couldn't see Diaboundo, or Bakura.

"Pharaoh, what are you doing?" Shimon asked.

"I'm standing up for what is right. I am standing up for the people of my kingdom. I will not let Bakura win. As long as I live, I will not let him win." He said, staring up at Diaboundo.

"Ha, what a stupid sentiment. I will win, pharaoh, weather you like it or not! And since, as long as you're alive, 'you won't let me win', you shall die!" Bakura said, holding up the scales as the spirits formed a skull, then came out in a stream towards Yami.

The stream of spirits hit him square in the stomach, entering him there as they did.

Shadow eyes widened as she watched. "No. . ." she muttered to herself.

All of the priests and Mana yelled at him as the spirits continued their onslaught.

"Looks like I win, eh Pharaoh?!" Bakura said, grinning from ear to ear.

When they finally stopped, Yami held his arms over his stomach, and gasped for air, his eyes wide.

Just then, a golden light surrounded him, and rose above him, in the form of his father.

Shadow gasped slightly, her eyes widening.

Bakura's expression changed dramatically into surprise.

Akunamukanon stood over Yami, and absorbed the remaining spirits that were still in the form of the skull, removing Diaboundo's protection, and some of its power.

"Diaboundo!" Bakura said in panic.

Akunamukanon turned, and looked at the small group.

"Father . . ."Yami said quietly, looking up at Akunamukanon.

Akunamukanon then turned back to Bakura, and began to disappear.

"FATHER!" Yami shouted as he vanished. "Father . . ."He muttered.

"Mahaado! Attack Diaboundo!" Yami said after a moment.

Mahaado flew forward, and stabbed his staff into Diaboundo's chest. He then used his dark magic attack, causing Diaboundo to swell then explode.

Bakura screamed in agony.

Shadow smiled to herself, then doubled over, coughing up more blood. She gasped for air when the she stopped. No one had heard her, due to the noise coming from Bakura. No one had seen her, because they were all standing in front of her. She smiled again, still gasping for air slightly. Bakura's monster was destroyed, and soon he would be too.

"I told you you would never win!" Yami said, giving Bakura his serious look.

Bakura began choking, as the group watched.

"You can't win!" he chocked, "I will have my revenge!" and with those words spoken, he lurched forward, and fell down the few steps that lead up to where he had been standing.

Slowly he crawled back up to the small plateau, mumbling to himself.

Shadow watched him. Her heart gave a squeeze. It was hard to believe he had once been a dear friend of hers. She shook her head, and frowned as she watched. He got what he deserved . . .didn't he? After all, he had attacked the pharaoh, and killed many. Did he not deserve this death?

He continued up to the sarcophagus, and began to place the three items he had in his possession into the slots on it.

"Bakura, give up now, you've lost. There's no way you can get all the items." Yami said, still watching the half dead tomb-robber.

Just then, a laugh came from behind them.

"That's where you'd be mistaken."

The group turned to see Akunadin standing in the doorway that led to and from the chamber. In his hand he held the millennium key.

"That's where you'd be greatly mistaken. All of the items are right here, in this room." He chuckled.

"What are you doing Akunadin?!" Seto asked.

Akunadin didn't reply, but chuckled to himself, as he walked past the group.

Shadow gasped slightly, as she felt another pain from her stomach. She stumbled backwards, then turned to look at Bakura, who was standing near the sarcophagus, looking at them all, laughing.

Bakura turned, and stared right at Shadow. He smiled, as she noticed a dagger in his hand. It glimmered slightly in the small amount of sunlight that can into the chamber.

Her eyes widened, as he raised his arm, and threw it.

She didn't have the speed, or strength to dodge the dagger this time. She was too sick, and shocked to do anything.

The dagger pierced right through the bandages around her stomach, into her wound, and through it.

She gasped, the air getting caught in her throat. She fell back, as blood poured from the open wound. She lay now, on the ground, and bleeding.

She could not believe a low life tomb-robber, such as Bakura, had finished her off. She grabbed the handle of the dagger, and pulled it out, causing more blood to flow. She cursed quietly to herself, and looked up to find Yami.

Her vision was beginning to blur now, and the voices around her were becoming faint, and distant.

She squinted, to see where Yami was. She finally spotted him, he didn't move, nor turn when she called out his name. He stood, stock still, watching Akunadin. As did the rest of the priests.

She moaned, as her blood left her body, and she slowly sunk into darkness. Her last thought, before she lost all consciousness was 'Yami, you bastard . . .'

The darkness consumed her. She looked in every direction. Nothing but the dark abyss surrounded her.

So, how did you like it? It was extra long, so I hope it kept you busy!

Well, I told Sphincter that I'd tell you where I got my info, and if there would be a sequel. Okay, well, first off, a good YGO site is w ww.janime. net (Remove the spaces) I got most of my info there. I would give you the site that I got the Jap. Eps of YGO, but it's nearly already at the end, so it wouldn't exactly be worth your time.

Alright, now, for sequels, there will be a story called Carissa, which is Shadow's hikari, her story. Also, I'm thinking of writing an alternate Shadow's Story. It'll most likely be darker than this fic, but I'm not too sure.

Alrighty, well that's that! Sayonara!
