Forever in Light: Even Shadi Must Say Goodbye.

''

Bakura was the first at her side as she appeared next to Shadi at the museum.

He brushed her tears away and pulled her close.

"What happened? Why are you crying?"

She held close to him and closed her eyes.

"It's done. The evil in Pharaoh is gone. I guess I'm just confused. So many conflicting memories and thoughts."

Bakura looked up at Shadi who had a forlorn look on his face.

"What about us?"

Shadi shook his head.

"There's nothing more I can do now. I can only hope that I was wrong in believing you to be the coldest monster on the planet."

Bakura growled at him but he glared back.

"Don't forget that it was you who ended my life before. No regret, no remorse. Forgive me if I can't imagine you loving someone."

Anzu turned to him.

"So all that's left is to forget all of this?"

He nodded.

The four of them gathered around Shadi and one by one he touched their foreheads with his Ankh until only Anzu remained.

"Before I erase this from your mind...I never meant for you to know that it was me. You won't remember any of this but...Anzu I do love you, and I will always be there watching over you and your friends. It is the short time you spent in my world that gave you the ability to enter it on your own. I want you to remember that you can come to me whenever you need help and I will try my best to do so."

She nodded, closing her eyes.

"Will it hurt?"

He spoke quietly, biting back tears.

"Only for a second and then you'll fall into a deep sleep. When you wake you will be in your bed and your mind will finally be at ease. Good by Anzu."

She flinched as she felt the cold metal touch her forehead and then...blissful nothing.

''

Anzu smacked the alarm as it went off in her ear.

A muffled voice further woke her.

"It's too early. Why does it have to be Monday?"

She smirked as she recognized the voice to be that of Ryou.

She looked up as Bakura stuck his head out of her bathroom.

"Sorry love, I have a job interview today. I guess I just hit the snooz."

Anzu blinked at him as he disappeared again

"Since when!"

He came out brushing his hair and sat beside her as she sat up on her elbows.

"Since Ryou threatened to kick me out if I didn't start helping with the bills."

Ryou's not awake voice groaned.

"I didn't tell you to get up at six am the night after we proposed Bakura."

He smirked as he ruffled Ryou's hair.

"Is it my fault you got into the Sake last night?"

Ryou growled.

"Only to drown out your snoring."

Anzu suddenly began to giggle and then laughed.

"Will the two of you ever grow up?"

Bakura shook his head.

"Him, never."

She smiled softly as he kissed her.

"I think I'm going out today...by myself."

Ryou sat up a little now, holding his stomach.

"If you two get anymore kissy faced I'm gonna puke. Besides, it's my shift remember?"

She leaned over and kissed Ryou.

"That's okay, when I get back I'm all yours okay?"

He smirked.

"As long as we can play nurse and patient."

She only rolled her eyes at him.

''

Later that day Anzu ran down the sidewalk towards the game shop and spotted Pharaoh and Yugi out front.

Just before she reached them However, Shadi suddenly appeared before her.

She stared up at him, stepping back.

He smiled as he noticed both rings.

"I came to thank you Teanna."

She blinked at him for a moment.

"What for? Where did you come from anyway?"

He chuckled slightly.

"I want to thank you for turning Bakura around, that's what. You released a great deal of stress for me when you took him in. As for where I came...I'm always around somewhere, even when you don't see me."

She smiled a little.

"Well since I'm on my way to tell Yugi and the gang the great news, I guess I'll tell you now."

She glanced down at the rings with a happy sigh.

"Both of them proposed to me!"

He smiled softly.

"That's wonderful. I'm sure you'll be very happy. I've got to be going now, but I'll see you all around soon."

She nodded with a big smile.

"I'd be really happy if you could make it to the weddings."

He nodded.

"I wouldn't miss it."

She smiled even wider.

"Well I guess I better go! Thank you so much!"

He disappeared from view as she began to run towards her companions again.

'I'm glad you don't remember anything. Telling you what really happened made me realize something though...I really need to be around more often. I may not have been there for the first fifteen years of your life, but I think I can still consider myself to be...if not your father, than your friend.'

He watched her run up to Pharaoh and jump into his arms.

"Pharaoh! Yugi! You'll never believe it! Look what I got last night!"

As she showed off her rings to her two friends Shadi stood closely out of sight.

'I guess this is the end. I'm glad it worked out after all.'

He chuckled slightly as he caught some of what she was saying.

"Now I just have to decide who I'm going to marry here, and who in Egypt. You guys are all invited of course! Even Shadi..."

She stopped for a moment.

"Funny, I seem to remember something but..."

Yugi looked up at her.

"What is it Anzu?"

She smiled and shook her head.

"I think it was a weird dream but it's gone now. Anyway, would you believe Bakura has a job interview..."

Shadi gave a heavy sigh as he returned to his place and held up the key.

'I had to make sure...now it's time for me to forget as well.'

He gave one last thought to Anzu.

'Please live, forever in light.'
