A/N: First thing I'd like to do is apologise for the number of typos in the last chapter. Inexcusable... expect for the fact I was on a 2 am sugar high when writing it. Sorry. Anyhoo,this is the final chapter… Will Seto remember Azreal? (Well, it's pretty obvious, but let's pretend there's still some element of suspense) I'm not very happy with this ending to be honest, I think it's a little weak… I should re-write it. Oh well. Too late now. Besides, I've re-written bits of it, so it's better then it was. This as good as it's gonna get, I'm afraid…
Willowwind: Angst! Where! Yes I'm updating tomorrow. Today. Whatever. Thanks for all your reviews and encouragement down the line!

Epilogue: Angels
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old?
'cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Ryou was walking home, just as he did every day, (Except this time from the park) when he heard someone calling his name.
"Ryou!" The caller was short girl with a large amount of brown hair that grabbed his wrists and swung him round and round, laughing "I'm back! Isn't it great!" Ryou pulled away.
"Excuse me…" He said as politely as possible under the circumstances. "Do I know you?" The girl blinked, then started to laugh again.
"Oh, I forgot. No, you don't, but you soon will!" She started practically skipping down the street. "My name is Anna Mitsan and I am now ONE HUNDRED PERCENT HUMAN BEING!" She laughed in pure happiness and ran off.
Ryou blinked. "Strange girl…" He murmured.
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
"Anna? You're back!"
"You remember me…"
"Of course! You think I'd forget twice?" Anna's, previously Azreal's, dad came and wrapped his arms around her. Anna felt herself crying a little. It seemed to be becoming a habit recently.
"Dad, I…"
"I know, I know…your mother told me you were going to move in."
"Dad! You said you remembered me by yourself!"
"Don't be mad…Welcome home, Anna."
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love…
"Yes?"
"Seto…?" Her heart was in her mouth as Seto glowered down at her. "Do you… do you remember me?"
Seto's eye widened a little as she spoke, recognizing her at last, then, with a lot more audacity then he'd ever had before, he leant down and kissed her.
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Watching up in Wherever, Lira scowled.
"Huh. They deserve each other." He said viciously. Ruby nodded.
"Yes. I'm glad Azreal didn't accept your offer." She said quietly.
"Huh? Ruby, babe, it wasn't me, she-"
"I saw you with that Grace girl as well. I should've listened to Az right at the start."
"Ruby, I don't know what-"
"You're dumped, Lira. It's over."
"What!"
"You're also fired." Azreal's mother added, approaching from down the corridor "Speed-inspiring… And stealing ideas from Shakespeare, of all people! What were you thinking?"
Lira sank down to the floor. He'd finally got what he deserved.
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
"I'll take that as a yes…" Anna gasped, a little surprised. Seto smirked.
"What, didn't you like it, Az?"
"Actually, it's Anna." Anna replied, reaching up to him "And I'll show you just how much I liked it…"
Watching from the top of the stairs, Mokuba decided to slip quietly back into his room. Whatever was going on, this probably wasn't a good time to demand explanations. Besides, Seto seemed… happy… at that exact moment in time, so why rush?
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call…
"You came back…" Seto murmured, still not releasing Anna as if he was worried she'd disappear again. He still hadn't quite come to grips with forgetting all about her, albeit for only a short while. "I haven't got rid of you yet…"
"Of course I came back." Anna replied, hugging him back. "And you know what?"
"Enlighten me."
"This time, I'm here to stay. I got chucked out."
"Does this mean that I'm stuck with you?"
"Yep."
"…Good."
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead.
o-o-o-o-THE END-o-o-o-o
A/N: My first ever completed fic! Okay, so it was by no means a novel- only 13 chapters- but it's done. Kinda sad now, actually. There's a lot I wanted to go into more details on, mainly about Wherever itself. And Azreal's history, and future… Which means only 1 thing…
SEQUEL!
But not yet. First, I have to write 'Mutual Understanding'. But I'll be back…
Ooh, now I can do Radio 4 Style credits!
In Radio 4 type presenter voice: That was the final chapter of Amusing for Inspiration. It was written by Waffles4eva. The influences were webcomic 9th Elsewhere and Yu-Gi-Oh by Kazuki Takahasi. The song was 'Angels' by Robbie Williams and is available on his album Life Thru a Lens. Waffles would like to thank all those who read and/or reviewed and hopes that they enjoyed the fic.
Well, that was fun. Pretty much sums up my whole time working on this thing. Hope you enjoyed it to, blah blah blah, now go and live a full and happy life.
Smiles!
