Author's note: I've decided that I've stretched this story longer than I've expected it to stretch. I'm going to end it if possible in this chapter or the next. Please support me all the way through thank you!

Don't worry if the ending is not what you wanted because as I have mentioned before in earlier chapters that this is a series of stories where Anzu and Atem will have to search in their life cycles to end this.

I have another sequel updated so read that one out too!

Some of the sequels are one-shots while some are longer. Please take a note at the end of each sequel stories that which position it is in like: Life After Another II: "title".

It means that sequel comes right after this story.

Oh well sorry to keep you waiting. Here's the update.

"Miho, what are you doing?" Anzu narrowed her eyes at her friend and maid sneaked behind the doors of the pharaoh's chamber.

Miho froze on the spot, she was speechless, she knew she could no longer hide it from Anzu.

"Miho, answer me." Anzu pulled her away from the chamber and dragged her to her own room.

"Anzu, I have always consider you as my sister, my friend. But I know you cannot kill the pharaoh. You have fallen in love with him!" Miho cried with streams of tears in her eyes.

Anzu slapped her and shocked at her own actions. "I-I…I'm sorry Miho but…I know why I am here."

"Yes, you do Anzu-sama, but, you have never wanted to do it! If not, I'll do it for you."

"You went in to put poison in his food didn't you?"

"I will not deny it but Anzu-sama, if…if you don't kill him, Mokuba-sama will die!" Miho then told Anzu of what her father had threatened Miho.

Anzu's eyes widened with shock that her gentle father would actually do a thing like this.

"And also Anzu-sama, I found your mother's tomb." Anzu turned towards Miho who was holding a gold made bracelet in her hands. Anzu recognized this, this bracelet was traditionally passed down in the female side of the family.

She had read it in one of the scripts that had prints of her mother's side of the family's history. This bracelet was to give to the one she loved the most. It was supposed to be a pair and she remembered quite well, Amenhotep had the same one, but thicker in his left hand.

"I found this with your mother's mummified body. I know this was to disturbed her highness's peaceful sleep but I just have to find out the truth for you! At the side of her coffin, there was a phrase 'for the one I loved the most and I have never regret it'." Miho's eyes were filled with tears.

Anzu laughed, it was a hopeless laugh. Her father had used her, she knew but not to the fact of using her brother as a threat to Miho. Not only her he had used but her best friend and her beloved brother.

"And…and I saw Tierra…princess Tierra went into prince Atem's room last night and did not come out until this early morning when I returned from the grave."

She began to feel warm then hot with anger. "I hate, I really hate…hate this world, hate my own family, hate you Miho…" she whispered.

Miho shook her head wordlessly as she looked at her best friend voiced words not from her mind.

Anzu's eyes were empty, hollowed and tears the rimmed in her eyes did not fall. Anzu suddenly stood up and ran out of the chamber. Meanwhile, Miho followed but she noticed Anzu's lips were moving soundlessly as she ran.

Just in time, Atem was about to take a drink of his wine when Anzu suddenly burst into his room.

Jou ran after Anzu and Miho behind. Anzu grabbed the wine from Atem and gulped it down.

Atem laughed, "Anzu dear, don't tell me you missed me so much that you ran all the way here. Take time and drink, don't choke yourself." He put his arms gently around Anzu's waist.

She pushed him away and it was then Atem saw her eyes. Like Miho had saw, her eyes were hollowed.

"Anzu…are you alright?"

"Anzu-sama, no, don't!" Miho cried out. She panted very hard as she tried to shake Anzu from her daze.

Anzu pushed her away, and looked at Atem. "Miho, take care of Mokuba for me." She whispered.

Anzu walked step by step towards Atem and said "I hate you."

"What…?" Atem was shocked as he looked at his Anzu who did not even behaved like one. By now Amenhotep arrived and saw what was going on. Pain flashed through his eyes for he knew, his words had came true for Anzu. She was regretting of her decision.

"I hate you." Anzu bit out every word carefully.

She fell and Atem quickly grabbed her into his arms. "Say that is not true Anzu! Tell me that was a lie!" he yelled. He cannot keep his usual cool anymore. Anzu was the only one who could drive him crazy.

"You are my half-brother Atem, my mother is your mother." Anzu cried, her tears overflowed and began to stream down her pale cheeks.

"So…I do not care, in my country even brothers and sisters can marry." Atem tried to assure her. How in the world they were related, he would not even care at this moment.

"I call upon the goddess of the Nile, the stars, the moon and Ra, give me the strength to place this curse upon us." Anzu began to whisper.

Miho immediately knew this was the forbidden curse. She cried. "No, Anzu-sama, don't do this! You will regret it! Don't…!"

"Until the day I could find peace, let life cycles itself. Each in different dimension of time. Let my hate and anger fill my cup and pharaoh who shall be with me."

"Anzu, what are you talking about? I love you. I do, believe me…stop this non sense!" Atem cried for blood began to streak out of Anzu's mouth corner. "What did you drink?"

Seth and other five priests have arrived on the demands of Amenhotep. He whispered to them to stop the ritual Anzu was doing immediately. They quickly gasped when they heard which of the curse Anzu was whispering, without another thought they circled the two couples and began to chant.

"He shall suffer until the day I…find…peace…" those were the last words that came out of Anzu's mouth.

"Anzu…Anzu! Wake up…Anzu, talk to me!" Atem's eyes were blinded with tears. He held Anzu tightly in his arms as if to push her into him but the body was now slowly loosing its warmth.

Amenhotep looked outside to the sky. "Now are you satisfy? With the price of death of your daughter, you were a foolish man and had always are a foolish man." He then cried for the lost of his beloved's daughter.

"What did she drank?" Jou asked Miho.

"She saved the pharaoh yet she placed a curse on him." Ishizu said quietly.

"We cannot break the curse but instead, we just have the power to interfere with it." Seth said.

"What happened?" Amenhotep asked.

"The curse will not kill Atemu-sama. But he got dragged into a long path of reincarnation." Miho said quietly. "Anzu-sama was under the command of her father to kill Prince Atem in the name of her mother."

"I knew that part my child."

"Her soul will not be at peace so…we cannot break the curse. Instead, the curse will have to weave itself through. However, we did make a few changes to her own curse." Ishizu said as she looked at Anzu's now dead body and sighed.

"Instead of Atemu-sama suffer only later in his reborn bodies, we made them even. I apologize Atemu-sama, as your priests and protectors we cannot let you suffer alone." Said another priest.

"And her soul will rest someday but we do not know when." Seth placed his hand on his cousin's shoulder.

"I do not care if I have to suffer, if that is what she had wanted so that she could be in peace. I do not care." Atem said but his voice was muffled.

"Teach her how to love Atem, that's all I could say." Amenhotep turned and walked away. "Have her bury with her mother. That would be her wish."

"Prince Atem, I'm the one who did not want Anzu-sama to kill you so I…please punish me." Miho bowed deeply.

"No, no more shedding of death." Atem looked up, his eyes like Anzu's before were blank.

"Atemu!" Seto growled. "She tried to kill you."

"Listen to my order. Announce to the world that prince Atem had died and his twin brother took over the throne." It was true that Atemu had a twin brother whose name was Atem but he died at birth and no one knew about this but his father, his mother, the six priests and himself. That was the reason why he had the names Atem and Atemu at the same time. And now, he announced, Atemu had died and Atem had reborn once again.

"Atemu…"

"I will live on so have no worries." He looked down at Anzu's lifeless body.

'I will find you, and then, I will make you my love once again.' He bent down and kissed her cold lips.

"She did not want you to drink the poison my prince because in her heart she loved you but you have betrayed her." Miho said softly.

"What do you mean?" Jou asked.

"Anzu-sama was crying with pain when she found out that Princess Tierra spent the night with prince Atemu."

"That night I was not in my room." Miho gasped at her own mistake and for bursting it out in front of Anzu. She cried more and said it was her fault continuosly.

"She loved you my prince." Ishizu bent down towards Atemu.

"I know…and I do…to her." He replied.

They all retreated from his chamber leaving only Anzu and Atemu in the room.

"How I wish to die along with you my love but I will live on just for you."

That was the last we saw of the easy going prince but instead a stern and serious one. One who worked hard night and day to keep his land safe. Amenhotep died a few weeks later followed by the betrayal of one of his priests.

Before he trapped himself in the millennium puzzle, half of his soul separated and said to his other half 'I'll make sure I see her for you.'

'Thank you…' then he rest his eyes as his other half reincarnate over and over through time.

'Anzu…I could finally see you……again…'

author's note: guess I could finish it after all. Hahahaha…review! There's another sequel which I have updated along with this chapter. Merry finals everyone! I'm crying over here because I know I am going to screw up one or two of them.
