~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Yami pressed his foot harder on the gas pedal. This was taking way too long to get to Dartz's tower. He growled, seeiing the cars on the other side of the road wizz by as he passed them. "Oh gods, Yugi...I can't believe I let him get you. I should have checked who was at the door before I let him go...I should have just kept him always in my sight. It's all my fault that he's gone." He closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, "I can't believe I let this happen."

Slamming on the breaks suddenly at a red light, he was jolted from his thoughts. //I better not get myself killed on the way there...then Yugi will have no hope.// He hit the gass pedal again when the light changed, speeding down the highway.

~~~`

Dartz glared out the window of his office, watching lightening crash in the distance. He smirked, sensing Yami's presence nearing the building. Turning away from the window, he left the room, "Yami's in such a hurry to save Yugi...but it's too late...Yugi is dead and soon, he'll join him..." he chuckled, eyes flashing as another lightening struck nearby.

~~~`

Yami's car skidded to a halt in front of a large building, "Well this is it...the Doom Organization headquarters..." the agent said to himself, "a final showdown with Dartz...for Yugi." He approached the building, opening the large door and stepping inside. The inside of the building was very high tech, everything made out of metal and glass. He walked over to the glass door elevator and stepped inside. Looking at the many rows of numbers, he pressed the highest one...13, and stepped back, watching the doors close.

He watched the flights pass, looking up and tapping his black booted foot on the glass for. The elevator let out a 'ding' noise as the doors opened. He smirked, stepping out of the elevator and seeing all the lights to the floor off. "Where are you Dartz?" He asked. Taking a few steps forward, he looked around, "I know you're up here..." He stopped walking, "you can't hide from me forever."

There was a deep chuckle that filtered through the hallway, "I knew you'd come Yami," Dartz's voice greeted.

"Show yourself!" Yami yelled. When no reply came, he raised his voice, clenching his fists together, "coward! Show your face!"

The lights flickered on, the light seeming almost blinding after the deafaning darkness before it. Yami raised himself to his fullest height and swept his eyes across the hall. Ruby orbs fell on a stone table at the end of the long path. //What in the world?// He mentally debated whether to go to the table or not. //It could be some sort of trap...//

Shaking his head, he took a cautious stepwardward. When nothing happened, he moved closer to the table, seeing an arm hanging limply over the edge of the stone. //It's a body...// Fear welled inside of him and he broke into a run, the end of the hallway seeming to get further and further away with each step he took.

When he finally reached the table, he gulped, bringing a shaking hand to the edge of the white sheet and lifting it, already knowing whose courpse lay beneath. Choking back a sob as Yugi's lifeless form came into view, he fell to his knees in front of the table. He collapsed, laying his head on small boy's chest and pressing his nose into the cold, clammy skin, "Yugi...oh gods, Yugi, no!" he screamed. Raising a hand, he brushed the young teen's bangs out of his eyes, "my Yugi, my koibito..." Flashbacks of his times with Yugi whirled through his mind. He tried shaking them away, clutching the little one's body tight. "my little Yugi...."

He looked into the still open, dead amethyst eyes. Fear was evident within them as well as a small spark of hope...a hope that maybe his life could be saved. Yami let the tears flow from his crimson eyes. He brushed his hand across the younger's face, bringing them over his eyelids and closing them. Leaning down, he placed a soft, final kiss on those lovely full lips. They were cold...dead.

"Oh gods, Yugi..i I failed you...I failed to protect you...it's all my fault. I deserve to die in your place," he whispered, hugging the lifeless form.

A dark chuckle interrupted his spoken thoughts, "oh don't worry. You'll be joinng him very soon, Yami."

The agent spun around, coming face to face with a tall, sinister looking white haired man, "Dartz," he seethed. Standing, he turned his back on Yugi's body, "you sick bastard! How dare you kill someone so pure just for a selfish thing like power!"

Dartz smirked wolfishly, "you know why you can't make out the difference yourself, Agent Yami? You're too wrapped up in a fickle thing like love...you're too caught up with your little affair to realize just how great you could have been with the little one's power!"

"I don't need his power," Yami screamed, placing a hand on Yugi's bare chest, "I only needed...I only wanted his heart. And I got it. That was good enough for me." He growled as the taller laughed. "Do you know what your problem is, Dartz?" The white haired man raised an eyebrow questioningly. "You've never been loved before," the shorter answered his own question, "you've never had a special someone in your life. You've never spent the night in a lover's embrace; you've never known what it feels like to make love to that special person," he explained, eyes tearing up as he remembered his and Yugi's special night together. His crimson eyes closed as he continued, "you've never know...and you will know! Nobody will ever love a selfish, cold man like you! Never!"

The taller snarled, lunging at the shorter man and pushing him to the floor, "I can get whoever I want to love me!" He sneered.

Yami's lip curled, "no you couldn't. No one would ever want someone like you!" Dartz kissed Yami viciously, biting down on the other's soft lips and drawing blood. The agent ingnored him as he continued to speak, "you've never had a lover...you never had Yugi's love. Even if you wanted it, you couldn't have it.

"Shut up, you fool!" Dartz screamed. "You know nothing!"

Yami laughed, "i think I know everything about you, Dartz. I know why you want power. I know why you want the world to be miserable! You want them to be just as miserable as you were...as you are now. You've never had love, so you're using power...you're using the power of your enemy's loved one...just to get back at the world." His eyes narrowed, "this isn't about taking over the world, is it Dartz? This isn't about being supreme ruler. This is about revenge...revenge on me fovingving what you couldn't. Revenge on the world for never showing you love and compassion."

Dartz closed his eyes to block out images of his past, "no...I had love...I had love..."

"Who loved you Dartz?! Who actually cared about you?!"

Thete hte haired man pulled away, pressing handhands to the side of his head, "I had love! I had my daughter...my dear daughter, Christ!"

Yami slowly stood, "but what happened to her?!"

"She left me...she was taken away... Iron Heart, my father, that bastard took my only daughter! He said I wasn't safe! That I would kill, I , I would kill Christ!" tears began to form in Dartz eyes.

The agent stepped away from the other man, closing his eyes and consentrating on his own type of magic. After a few moments, a golden eye began to glow on his forehead, "you've hurt so many people! You've taken so many lives! And why, just because your father brought Christ to live in a safer environment?! You're a sick bastard, the worst I've ever seen!" He paused taking a deep breath and snapping his eyes open. A golden glow enveloped his body, "And now, in the memory of Amelda, Varon, ...Yugi, and all the others you have mercilessely slain throughout the years, it will be my honor to finally kill you!" He hollered.

Dartz stood as well, his one blue eye and one yellow eye glinting dangerously as the daze faded out of them, "no...no I have come this far and I wont let you take away my victory!" The seal of Orichalcos burned on his forehead, "it is time to meet your end, Agent Yami!"

Yami growled, the eye on his head glowing brighter as he took a step foreward, "I won't be slain in this battle, Dartz. I will be victorious. My love for Yugi will see me through the end of this fight. Even if I can't save his life, I can save his power...by making sure it doesn't stay in the body of a corrupted bastard like you!"

The taller snorted and raised a hand, preparing for an attack. Idly, he noticed Yami do the same thing.

"Let us see now whose power is stronger," the agent challenged. He closed his eyes, focusing on his magic again.

Dartz nodded, "lets" he agreed. A greenish-blue glow enveloped his hand before shooting out in Yami's direction.

The shorter spread his arms apart, "Mirror Force!" he yelled. The attack was reflected off of an invisible wall and sent flying back at his rival. Dartz growled and dove out of the way. Yami took the opporitunity, seeing as Dartz was distracted, to shoot out his destructive attack. He glared at Dartz, "it's time to die!" He yelled. Pointing his hand at the taller, "MIND CRUSH!" Gold light shot out from his hand and pierced through the taller's body.

Dartz screamed, the light entering his body and scattering through it, draining him of his life. "Damn you, Yami!" he cursed loudly before slumping to the floor.

Yami fell to the floor. He was weak. That attack had cost a lot of energy. He stood up slowly, panting heavily. There was a loud bang as the door to the stairwell banged open.

"Yami! Are ya up here?!" Jonouchi's voice yelled.

The red eyed agent turned his head in the direction of the blonde, "Jonouchi?" he weezed, using the stone slab Yugi was laying on to support himself. He looked down at the teen's dead body and felt the tears well up in his eyes once more.

"Yami are ya down dere?!" Jou asked.

Yami let out a barely audible sob, "y-yes," he cried.

The tall boy came closer, followed by Seto, Anzu, Honda, Ryou, and Bakura. "What's the matter?"

The tri haired man moved aside, revealing Yugi's courpse, "he's gone."

Ryou noticed the body and gasped, covering his mouth with his hand and rushing foreward, "oh gracious! Yugi! Yugi answer us!"

"He won't wake up...not ever..."

Bakura sneered at Yami, "how can you have such little faith?" He walked over and helped Yami stand slightly, supporting the other's weight, "honestly. You love Yugi right?" Yami nodded meekly. "Then if you believe, you can do anything..." He looked over at the small boy on the slab, "I studied magic before I joined the bureu...there is one way to bring Yugi back."

Yami turned his teary crimson orbs on the white haired man, "what-what is it?! I'll do anything? I'll kill myself if it means I can bring him back to life. He deserves to live. I don't...not after failing him like I did."

Bakura smirked, "good then there will be no hesitation!"

"What?" the taller asked.

The other agent grinned, "the only way to bring Yugi back is to use a sacrifice. The sacrifice must give up their life energy in order to bring the deceased back to life."

Yami nodded in understanding, "so to bring Yugi back I'll day?" Bakura nodded in affirmation. The red eyed agent scowled, "I'll do it." He embraced Bakura, shocking the other man, "thank you."

"Yeah whatever. Just admit that you did need my help on this mission."

"I did," Yami admited. "I wouldn't have been able to do it without you...any of you."

Bakura turned to Jonouchi, "carry Yugi and follow me." The blonde nodded and picked up the slightly stiff, pale body. "This way." He opened the door to a room. "This way, I can feel the evil came from here."

The room was surrounded by a jelly-like substance. It was cold and dark. Anzu screamed as she saw Varon's dead body on the floor, using a hand to hide her eyes. Yami stepped over the corpse and picked up a cord, "this must've been used the transfer the life force." There was another stone slab next to the cord, "and this was where he died." The agent turned to Jou, "put him on there and placed that cord back in his neck," he ordered. The blonde did as told. Yami looked back at the plug in his hands, "this should go somewhere on my neck...or back or somewhere around there..." He thought a moment, undoing the buttons of his black blouse and slipping the shirt off, "someone check my back for any openings that I might be able to stick this cord into."

Ryou came foreward and examined Yami's back. When not finding anything, he lifed the hair on Yami's neck out of the way and saw a plug similar to the one Yugi had in his neck. "I've found one," he informed. "Hand me the plug, ." ." The taller gave it to the white haired youth. "I am sure this will be most painful, so I apologize for the discomfort ahead of time." He jammed the cord into Yami's neck. The agent let out a pain-filled screech and went numb.

Anzu rushed foreward, "Yami! Yami are you okay?" she yelled frantically, concern etched on her features. She crouched down and placed her hands on the taan'an's shoulders, "Yami say something, please."

Yami's form shook from the intense pain, "B-Bakur-ra..tarttart it-it."

Bakura gulped, closing his eyes, "goodbye, Yami," he whispered, tears actually forming in his chocolate orbs.

Yami nodded, "g-goo-goodbye every-everyone. Thank you so-so-so much-ch." He trembled, fear settling in the pit of his stomach. He was going to die. He was going to leave this world forever. ...He was afraid.

The brunetirl irl cluthed Yami tigher, "no! Stop Bakura don't pull that lever!" She screamed. The agent turned questioning brown eyes on her. She blinked tears away, feeling them slide down her cheeks, "Yami can't die...he deserves to live.....He deserves to be here and happy with Yugi." She sniffled, choking back a sob, "Yugi once told me that he hated his life and that if it weren't for Yami he would have killed himself the day after he arrived at Domino Acedemy. If-if Yami sacrifices himself, then Yugi will be as good as dead without him."

"What are you sayin, Anzu? Dat we jus' leave Yueg dead?!" Jou yelled.

Anzu shook her head, "no...I'm saying that-that I will sacrifice myself in Yami's place."

Yami's eyes widened, "A-Anzu don't. Please, live. Y-you're still so-so young and ha-haven't experienced lif-fe."

The blue eyed girl shook her head, "no...I want to do this," she explained.

"Anzu, you dolt! How can you even think of doing such a thing?! You can't!"

She sniffed, "it's my decision..." she grabbed the plug and yanked it out of the agent's neck, "I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you and Yugi, Yami. I just want you to know that Yugi was a dear friend to me. And you were, too. I hope you two live happily together..." She moved her brown hair out of the way and bit her lip, drawing blood as she slowly slid the cord into a plug in her neck. She hugged Yami one last time, "before I go...may I ask one favor of you?" Yami raised an eyebrow. "You probably already knew this, but before I knew you were in love with Yugi, I had fallen in love with you and...I still love you, even though that means nothing. But...before I go...to make my life complete, I would just like to have one small kiss from the one I truly loved." Yami's eyes softened in understanding. "Will you please kiss me, Yami...the way you would Yugi?" She asked in a pleading tone.

The agent smiled, leaning down and capturing her lips softly with his own. The kiss was slow, not passionate in any way. Yami felt that kissing another the way he kissed Yugi woul wro wrong, so he kissed Anzu the way he would any other person. Without emotion. He could feel that the girl put her heart and soul into this kiss, though. And that made him feel a tad bit guilty. Pulling away, his eyes saddened, "Anzu you don't have to do this."

The brunette shook her head, "l-like I said...I want to." She turned to Bakura, nodding, "pull the plug." she instructed.

Bakura gulped, pulling the lever down and seeing a bright flash of light. Anzu's body became limp as her energy raced through the cord in her neck and into the cord in Yugi's body. Yami caught her body and laid it down gently on the ground, stroking her hair softly as conciousness left her. He closed his eyes, but opened them after a minute or so, seeing Yugi's eyes opening slowly on the slab. He sat up, "Yugi?" he asked hopefully.

The teen blinked, turning his head in the direction of Yami's voice, "Y-Yami?" he caughed a few times, attempting to sit up. "I can't move."

Yami stood and raced over to the shorter, taking the cord out of his neck and picking him up, "oh gods, Yugi. I was so scared...so scared that I lost you forever. I would have killed myself in order to get you back!"

Yugi smiled, "Yami it was so frightening. Dartz took me away from you and I thought I was never going to see you again. I thought you'd forgotten about me!"

"No, no koibito. I would never forget about you. Never ever."

The short boy sniffled then noticed Anzu's body on the floor, "Anzu...what happened to her? Did Dartz hurt her?" he questioned, fear in his eyes. "Where is Dartz? Did he trap us here?!"

Yami pressed a finger to Yugi's lips, "hush...Dartz is gone for good. He'll never hurt us again." He whispered soothingly, kissing the other lightly on the forehead. "Anzu is gone, I'm sorry. She sacrified her life energy to save you, Yugi."

Crystaline tears formed in Yugi's eyes, "no! Why did she do that just to save me!"

"Hush, shhh...she wanted a way to make up for the pain she's caused us. She chose to do it herself."

"Anzu..." Yugi cried, clutching Yami's shoulders and burying his face in Yami's chest. The taller put him down but picked him right back up seeing the other couldn't stand. Yugi panicked, "what's wrong? Why can't I walk?!"

Yami burried his face in Yugi's hair, "You're just weak. Don't worry...I'll carry you everywhere."

Seto snorted, speaking for the first time he had been there, "can we get out of here? This room gives me the creeps!"

Jonouchi laughed, hugging the brunette man, "yeah! I still have half my pizza sittin on the counter!"

~~~`

It had been a month now since the end of the Mission.

Yami had formerly gone to the Domino Bureau of Defense and resigned, giving his position to Bakura who had greatly appreciated the offer. The first act Bakura had made as top agent was to promote Ryou to a regular agent. This had greatly pleased the white haired teen. Yugi had moved into Yami's apartment, but still attended school at Domino Academy. Yami went back to college, training to be an official teacher and hoping to open up a school for children wYugiYugi when the little one graduated.

Anzu's funeral had been held a few weeks back. It had been a very solemn ceremony and several people spoke at it, inlcuding Honda, Yugi, and Yami. Yugi had been depressed for a while after the burial.

Seto had finally forced Jonouchi to move in with him, and Jou was very happy there. Sometimes the two wouldn't show up for school though....

Yugi's parents had actually bothered to call and Yugi had gathered the strength to tell them of his and Yami's relationship. They were both very proud of him for finding someone special, even if it was another male, and Mrs. Mutou was already arranging a wedding for the two.

Yami's life was finally the way he wanted it to be....he was with Yugi, had some wonderful friends...and was training for a job both he and his lover always wanted. This was what he wanted out of life. This was his life's Mission...and he had finally achieved it...all by winning Yugi's heart.

THE END!!!!!
