Sorry for this taking so long, but I couldn't get anything to upload on AFF.net for ages! So here I try again...and I hope you like the final chapter.

Mouth of Yomi 14 - Chaos Breaks.
Seto and Yami Marik stared at each other; the CEO�s expression cold while insanity lurked in the eyes of the dark Egyptian spirit.

�Is Kaiba Seto going to stand there, or play with Ore-Sama?� Yami Marik asked in a sing-song kind of voice. �Ore-Sama broke inu-chibi�now Ore-sama wants a new toy.� He smirked at Kaiba, savouring the helpless rage in the teen�s bright blue eyes. Behind him, Jounouchi gasped hollowly, vainly try to gather air into his pierced lungs.

�Kaiba.� Jounouchi coughed wetly. Yami Marik glanced over his shoulder at the blond, surprised that he had the strength to speak. �Don�t��

�Hold on, Jounouchi.� Kaiba ordered. Yami Marik turned his gaze back to his adversary. The Rod had begun to glow with an indigo-tinted light as Kaiba tapped into it�s powers. Yami Marik smirked, grasping the Scales in one hand. The Rod�s mind-control powers couldn�t affect another Millennium Item holder. Then he noticed that Kaiba�s free hand was clenched tight around another object - the Millennium Eye. Yami Marik grinned. With it�s power added to his, he could overwhelm this fool without a problem.

And unlike Kaiba, Yami Marik knew the secrets of tapping it�s power without sacrificing an eye to do it.

With a sharp gesture, he cast the trap card Castle Walls, buying himself some time. The stone barrier shocked Kaiba enough to break his concentration�Yami Marik smiled to himself, a secret, evil smirk as he began to chant in a tongue long dead.
Seto swore to himself as the power of the Rod began to gather at last. His fragmented memories and his own unwillingness for this to be real were hindering him - but he had to dispose of Yami Marik before Jounouchi died horribly, suffocating on his own blood.

No one deserved that.

Then the Egyptian cast a spell, translucent castle walls appearing between them. Seto jumped in surprise, and cursed viciously as the power drained away into nothing. He had to get through those walls.

�Trap Master!� he called, summoning the creature. It came, solid and real, emerging from the darkness to dispose of the walls before fading once more.

But now Yami Marik was chanting something in a strange tongue.

The same language as the chant written on the Kame-no-Cardo Ra. Which meant Seto understood every strange word.

��me Item of Power and know my voice - obey me and come to my call.�

Seto shook his head. It was a spell, an ancient spell. He tried to focus, but his attention was sudden caught by the glowing Eye in his left hand. It flared brightly for a long moment, as though reacting to Yami Marik�s chant, before suddenly rising out of his grasp and rushing towards the Egyptian.

��Eye of Wisdom, Eye of Darkness, Eye that sees all, hear my cry. Go to the one who calls you. Go to the one who seeks you.� The Eye glowed brighter as Yami Marik held out his hand with a cry of triumph.

Only to have the Item fly past him, glowing like a new star, heading straight for�Jounouchi.

The teen lifted his head briefly as though sensing something - and the light flared in the darkness, blinding Seto and drawing a cry from Yami Marik.

When he could see again, the chains and rock that had bound Jounouchi were gone - he lay on the �ground�, not moving, blonde hair fallen over his face. Yami Marik gave a growl of frustration, roughly lifting the teen�s head by the hair.

Seto took a step forward, but Yami Marik turned towards him, gesturing.

�Chain energy!�

Seto felt loops of power wrap around his arms and legs, shivering as lose tendrils stroked his body through the fabric of his clothes. Yami Marik stalked right up to him, glaring as though he were to blame for the Egyptian�s failed spell.

�Ore-sama is not happy, Kaiba Seto.� the insane teenager hissed. �My Eye is gone - I will have to play with you now, before I kill inu-chibi.�

�I don�t think so.� Seto concentrated on the Rod still in his hand. �Seven Tools of the Bandit!� The energy snapped out of existence and before Yami Marik could move or react, Seto slugged him hard in the stomach, just below the solar plexus. As the other doubled over, he brought his knee up into Yami Marik�s face, sending him flying backwards, blood spewing from a broken nose.

Giving the prone, moaning figure a solid kick in the ribs as he passed, Seto knelt down beside Jounouchi. The teen groaned lightly as Seto rolled him onto his side. Ripping the remnants of the blond�s blood-soaked t-shirt off , he found the skin unmarked. Jounouchi�s face too had healed. The blonde coughed up a mouthful of blood, after which his breathing grew easier, deepening to a true sleep.

�That�s�impossible.� Seto murmured, unaware that he spoke aloud. Then something else caught his attention.

The Duel Disk on Jounouchi�s arm had� changed. Instead of white and blue, the whole was bright gold with black where the cards would be played, and instead of a life-point counter the Eye of Wisdom stared back at him. Seto reached for it, then pulled his hand back. So, the Eye had chosen a new form and a new wielder. A sarcastic smirk crossed his lips.

{Looks like the puppy might have grown fangs.}

Atem walked into the final room of the maze, his magicians at his right and left hand, ready for whatever last challenge Osama Akuma might have for him. Only one piece of the puzzle remained - only one piece.

A room of stone and black shadow greeted him, the only sound the harsh breathing of a hundred demons. At the far end of the room the demon king waited, seated on a throne of black onyx, bound by chains of flickering golden light.

�Welcome, my lord Atem.� the demon greeted cordially. �Welcome to the final stage of the game. You must only make your way past my loyal retainers here to claim your prize - my life.�

�Where is the last piece of the Puzzle?� Atem demanded, unconsciously using the tone of command he�d had drilled into him as a child.

�Here.� The demon held up a piece of gold emblazoned with the Eye of Ra. �All you need to repair the link with your other self. Tell me, Atem�did you know that Yugi-chan came into my realm to find you?�

�What?� Atem felt himself grow cold at those words - the shadows whispered in his mind. �Yugi�s here�in this place?�

�Yes. Wandering the endless darkness of my realm, slowly being drained of his life.� The demon smirked. �Oh, yes, Atem. There is no limit to the foolish lengths to which love will go.�

�You bastard. I will NEVER forgive you for this.� His anger was building, growing cold as the shadows that whispered to him.

�I can't claim credit for this one. He came of his own free will, Atem.�

�Be silent.� The command whipped across the darkness. �I will hear no more from you, demon.� He closed his eyes, concentrating, and Shadow Magic lashed across the intervening space, grasping the last puzzle piece, bringing it to Atem�s hand. The former Pharaoh let a wild grin cross his features as he dropped it in with the rest. Then his blood-red eyes looked up at the demon king. �Now - I deal with you.�

Osama Akuma laughed aloud. �You fool! I�ve played you right from the beginning - this is my place, my power. I will consume your soul and use your strength to break these bonds. You lose!�

�Truly.� Atem grasped the pouch containing the puzzle pieces, pouring them onto the ground before him. �Bakayarou. Once to think you could beat me, and twice to think that you could steal what is mine.� He held a hand over the scattered pieces of the Millennium Puzzle, murmuring in the tongue of ancient Egypt. In a golden flash of light, the pieces formed again into a single whole. Atem placed the Puzzle around his neck while the Eye of Wisdom flared to life on his forehead.

�You can�t beat me.� the demon scowled. �No magic born of darkness can harm me. I am the dark.�

�Someone else said that to me once.� The Pharaoh smiled coldly. Around him, the Shadows surged and swirled, skimming over his form. �And you might be right. But� maybe not.� As he spoke, Light flooded the room. The demons screamed, falling back as Atem turned with a smile.

�Hello, mou hitori no ore.�

��................................

Yugi gasped as he suddenly felt the link surge back to life, crying for sheer joy as he felt the presence of his other half.

But the instant he touched Atem�s mind, he knew something was terribly, horribly wrong.

:Atem?: he asked. :Where are you?:

:Come to me, my own.: Atem murmured in his mind - shadows wrapped around him, the gentle touch of a lover�s caress. :We have a demon to banish.:

:A demon?: Yugi wondered as he let himself be carried to his other�s side, feeling the Light within him growing only stronger now that the shadows caressed him. It was strange, intoxicating. :What�s wrong, Atem?:

:Nothing, love.: The Pharaoh�s voice soothed. :I just thought you might want to be here and help dispense the justice this creature so rightly deserves.:

The haze enveloping his mind wouldn�t let him think; before he could figure out the wrongness in Atem's mind, he found himself in a great stone hall, standing just behind his dark lover.

�Hello, mou hitori no ore.� Atem smiled. Yugi felt a surge of fear at the sight of his love�s crimson eyes, darkened to the colour of blood by lust and madness.

{Crimson? Weren�t they violet before?} The thought drifted through his mind and vanished. Yugi shivered at what he saw there, at the rage that surge now through the link.

:Will you help me, aibou?: Atem held out his hand; Yugi swallowed audibly. That haze wrapped itself around him - he felt his muscles relaxing, his mind blanking. The shadows in Atem�s mind sang to him as blood-red threads seemed to burrow into his mind.

:You know I will never hurt you, my own.: Atem murmured. :This creature hurt us both - will you help me take what is ours, just retribution?:

:Not revenge?: Yugi thought, struggling to ignore the call of the darkness, to think.

:An eye for an eye, aibou.:

For a split instant he clearly saw the madness lurking in his lover and felt an instant of fear. Their link surged with a thousand emotions, carried on a river of madness and darkness; his soul foundered in the flow, losing his fragile hold on himself as he drowned in the love and loyalty and lust and madness and joy and rage and and andandandand...

Strong arms reached out to grasp him close; Yugi leaned into the touch. :Anything for you, koi.: he whispered, a giddy sensation in his stomach. :Anything.: All he could see was the red blood red of Atem�s eyes as the other leaned down, brushing his lips lightly. Everything crystallized, bright and oh so clear. :I�ll never ever leave you again.:

An unfamiliar smile crossed his features as he wrapped his arms around his darkness, who ran a gentle hand through his hair. :No one will ever take you from me again, aibou. We are one forever.:

:Forever and ever and ever I promise.:

�Now, deluded one, you face us both. Darkness�and light.� Atem grinned wickedly at Osama Akuma. Yugi giggled as let his power rise to join Atem�s - the Millennium Puzzle amplified both, raw magic surging and crackling around them. He shuddered, his eyes falling half-closed as exquisite Light surged though him with an intensity he had never felt before. No pain - not in the grasp of his darkness; every nerve ran with liquid ecstasy. Atem�s vindictive rage and vicious pleasure consumed his mind as Light and Dark joined fully, all barriers gone.

The two held out their hands as one, the demons falling back, leaving their master exposed. Osama Akuma tried desperately to raise his own power to protect himself.

Two voices spoke in perfect unison.

�Oblivion!�

The chaotic magic blasted through the room; for a moment the Demon King glowed in negative as black light raged through body and dark soul before he shattered into hundreds of tiny shards that vanished before they hit the ground.
��.............................................................................................

The blast echoed through the entire realm, shaking the empty nothingness. Every Duel Monster stopped dead in it�s tracks - Anzu and Honda stared as Dark Magician Girl burst into tears and the Cyber Commander dropped to his knees.

�What happened?� Anzu demanded, but the female Magician just cried harder.

��......................................................................................

Jounouchi jerked back to consciousness, holding his head and screaming.

�What the fuck is this!� he yelled, tears of pain cascading down his cheeks as chaotic images flashed through his mind. A hot hand grasped one shoulder - pain, sharp and real, exploded in his face. His heart felt as though it would burst, beating a thousand times a minute as he tried to breathe.

His vision cleared enough to see Kaiba kneeling in front of him, hand upraised to hit him again. �Don�t come apart on me now, mutt.� the CEO snarled. �Get a grip!�

Despite the anger in his voice, his face was white as snow and stark fear shone in his eyes.

�What the hell is going on?� he demanded as the world around them convulsed.

�I think Yu�Atem did something. Can you stand?�

�Yeah.� Jounouchi made good his words, staggering to his feet with a lurch. Not bad for someone who was supposed to be dead or dying right now.

Later. He�d think later - now it was time to run.

Kaiba scooped Marik�s unconscious form over one shoulder - they sprinted off into the ebon darkness, guided only by the glowing Eye on the Rod.

Jounouchi had no idea how long they ran for, but just as he was getting ready to collapse they found a dome of silver light in their path - they slowed, but it surged forward, surrounding them.

Inside he saw Bakura kneeling on the ground, hands on either side of the blazing Ring -and beside him a slightly taller, more muscular twin dressed in a desert wanderer�s garb stood with his hand on the smaller teen�s shoulder. Jounouchi jerked to a stop, staring at the King of Thieves in shock.

�You!� he gasped, drawing a stare from Kaiba and a small glare from Yami Bakura.

�Yes, me. Now get the fuck over here so I can make the shield smaller again - this is putting too much strain on Ryou.�

Bemused, he obeyed. The shield grew smaller as he and Kaiba drew closer, until it finally stabilized at about 10 feet across - tight, but not claustrophobically so.

�Do you know what�s going on?� he demanded of the pair, restraining an urge to grab Yami Bakura�s robe.

�Does it look like I have the fucking Tauk? Shut up - we have to concentrate.� Yami Bakura closed his eyes, the grip on his hikari�s shoulder becoming bruising tight. Outside the shield, Jounouchi watched as the black nothingness of Yomi roiled, purple and midnight tendrils lashing at the fragile-looking light. He could see Bakura wince at every hit.

�Holy Barrier!� Kaiba called, holding up the Rod and concentrating. For an instant, Jounouchi thought he could see a cerulean aura surround the other before a second shield, this of rainbow light, appeared outside the first. Bakura moaned as the strain released; Yami Bakura sighed. Now it was Kaiba who winced whenever the chaos outside threatened to break in.

�You okay?� Jounouchi knelt beside Bakura, who graced him with a slight smile.

�Yes - just tired. It�s a good thing I had mou yami no boku here - I think the chaos might have consumed me otherwise.

�But how is it that you can see him? In his spirit form, no one should be able to except me.�

�Spirit form?� Jounouchi looked up at the Tomb Robber - he looked pretty solid and quite alive.

�This is not the time for questions.� Yami Bakura pointed out. He nodded at Kaiba - Jounouchi looked over to see the CEO on his knees, both hands on the Rod, eyes clenched shut. The teenager could see the lashing tendrils of light from the spell combating the overwhelming darkness outside. �He�s not used to sustaining a spell like that - he�s not going to hold for much longer. Your shift, Jounouchi.�

�My shift?� he asked. �I don�t understand. I can call certain monsters, but I can�t cast Shadow Magic. Why don�t you do something instead of using Bakura�s strength?�

�Because my Shadow Magic would feed the maelstrom, baka. My yadoushi�s power is Light, not Shadow - and because you and Kaiba over there don�t have a polarity, your strength won�t feed the storm either. Now hurry up.�

�But�� For the first time, Jounouchi noticed the modified Duel Disc on his arm. �What the hell��

A groan emerged from Kaiba; biting his lip, Jounouchi pulled out his card, flipping through them with frantic haste. Shields, walls�damn, he had an attack deck, not a defense one. A card showed up under his fingers - Mirror Wall, one of Mai�s favourites.

He didn�t know how it had gotten into his deck, but�later. He activated the Disc, hissing in surprise as he felt a tingle run through him. With a practised motion, he slipped the card into the appropriate slot. �Activate Mirror Wall!�

Nothing could have prepared him for this. Energy surged around him - he could feel the wall going up, and bit his lip harder at the strain as the first tendril hit. It crystallized and fractured, but a hundred more writhed outside the fragile protection - at least Mirror Wall was a permanent trap, unlike Holy Barrier.

He felt his strength running from him like water, like the blood that had spilled on the ground when Yami Marik had stabbed him. The world tried to spin around him. Too weak - he couldn�t...

�Hold on, Jounouchi-kun.� Ryou whispered in his ear. �The darkness is dissipating - it shouldn�t be much longer.�

He clenched his will and stubbornly remained conscious, ignoring the urge to just lay down and sleep. After an eternity, he felt the pressure on the shield lessen.

Looking up, the blond could see, not swirling darkness and emptiness, but the mundane, wonderful sights of Tokyo. With a sigh, he fell forward, letting sleep claim him as one more thought drifted through his mind.

{We�re home.}

��...................
Seto stared at Bakura, who knelt beside a now unconscious Jounouchi. He tore his gaze away, hardly believing his eyes as the familiar sensations of modern Japan assailed his senses, overwhelming after the dark nothingness of Yomi.

He also saw five other figures not far away; Anzu, Honda, the Dark Magician Girl and the Cyber Commander� and hovering over them the Mystical Elf, who drifted to the ground and took the weeping mage in her comforting embrace.

Bakura and he walked over to them, after the white-haired teen had assured himself that Jounouchi wasn�t hurt.

�What happened?� Seto demanded of Anzu, but it was not the teenaged girl who answered.

�Lord Atem and Lord Yugi defeated the demon king.� The Mystical Elf spoke softly, her ducet voice musical and soothing, yet filled with an unfathomable sadness.

�That�s good.� Bakura said, cocking his head in evident confusion. �Right?� Seto privately agreed, running his fingers over the handle of the Rod.

{So why all the tears?}

�Where are Yugi and Atem?� he asked instead. �I would think they would be here to reap all the acclaim of saving the world. Again.� To his private surprise, no bitterness leaked into his tone. It was a fact - they did the work, so they deserved the reward.

�They�are still in there.� the elf answered softly. Her form, as well as that of the other Duel Monsters were beginning to fade as the last of the residual magic started to disperse.

�WHAT!� four voiced exclaimed in unison.

��......................................................................................
Yugi giggled as he ran up the aisle towards the throne of the defeated king of demons, followed more slowly by Atem, who watched him with fond love softening his gaze. He ignored the lesser demons who averted their eyes as he passed - after all, he was a living God, right? They should fear him, and rightly; he was a god of twilight and darkness, bonded to a god of light and joy - his beloved Yugi. The incarnation of ma�at.^<1>

{No one will ever separate us, Yugi-koi.} he promised silently. {No one will ever harm you or touch you again�ever.}

He reached the throne carved of black onyx, running a hand over the cold stone before sitting down, suffused by a curious sense of rightness as the gathered demons bowed in homage before their new lord and master.

Yes�none of these creatures would ever harm Yugi again. No one would ever harm Yugi again. He would restore ma�at to this forgotten corner of Osiris� realm - then he would spread it to the rest of the mortal world. The shadows whispered in his ears - he ignored them, putting off their advice until later.

Now he watched Yugi as the teen bounced with childlike delight around the throne room, exploring the nooks and crannies. Atem was pleased to see that the demons averted their gaze from Yugi as well; after all, his love was his other self, right? Light to his darkness; his equal in every way - and he would utterly destroy any who so much as breathed disrespect for him.

Yugi finished his tour of the room and sprinted up to the throne, amythest eyes dancing and cheeks flushed. A slight glow still surrounded him, the only light in the darkness.

{My light in the darkness.}

Atem grinned, grabbing Yugi around the waist, onto his lap and into a rough kiss.

:What are we going to do now, Atem-koi?: the hikari giggled in his mind.

:Now, my beloved Yugi, we take over the world.:

VAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAV
With apologies to Steven Spielberg - but the line was perfect.
<1> Ma�at: both the name of the Egyptian goddess of Truth and an abstract concept that might be considered a kind of divine balance or rightness that occurs when the Pharaoh is doing his job properly.
Anyway, this is the last chapter of Mouth of Yomi - don�t panic, I will be writing a sequel. You don�t really think I would leave it there, do you? The plotline just spun off, and the best way to finish the story was like this.
So, I�ll be posting the last few chapters of Enemies and starting on the sequel. I write faster if I know people are reading!
Thanks so much to all the people who have read and will read this fic, and huggles to all those who reviewed both on FF.net and AFF.net. Love you all!
Je ne for now!
