Author's Note: Tada! The final chapter is now complete. This is a relatively cute song compared to what inspired me yesterday with "Concrete Angel." And I promise this should also be a little happier too. Plus, there is fluff.

Yami: That is the last time we let you drink Pepsi Vanilla! We know when you're hyper.

Buka: Soo . . . is that a crime? Now which one of you will read the disclaimer for this final chapter?

Yugi: I'll do it, since I've been neglected this whole fic. *Pulls out Buka's list* OK, I'll just make this short. We all know Buka doesn't own Yu- Gi-Oh, or us. And luckily for us, she never will or she'd make it a crime to have Yami wear a shirt. She also doesn't own Rezi Kusanagi, Dave Matthews Band or the song "The Space Between" But I know she wishes that she did own Dave Matthews Band.

Buka: Not the whole band, just Dave and perhaps Boyd too. *Clears her throat* Thank you Yugi, now without further adieu here is chapter 5.

Yami: And as always, please read and review.

~*~ Auditorium, 3:30 pm ~*~

Seto, Yami and the rest of the student body were waiting anxiously for the final song to start so they could finally go home. A few of the students started chanting, and pounding on the arm rests of the chairs.

"Hurry up with the song already! We want to go home!" One student said tossing a few paper airplanes around.

"This is the last song, why can't you learn to be patient? Hell, I have a company to run but you don't see me complaining do you?" Seto narrowed his eyes, and looked at the boy.

The boy shook his head, and directed his attention away from Seto. He wasn't intimidated by the older CEO; rather he didn't want to get into a huge argument with him.

Yami looked over at Seto momentarily, before looking up toward the stage. He sat through the majority of this mini concert, not counting when he sang with Buka. At least he was showing a little more patience than the other students.

Meanwhile Buka and Rezi had come up with the perfect song to wrap this whole afternoon up with. It was meaningful to her and Rezi, probably the guys too. But this was one of the more romantic songs known to man or woman, and it was by the Dave Matthews Band. They figured they needed a cute song to lighten the mood.

"I'll go out and announce the song; you get everything set up alright?" Rezi said, watching as Buka was setting up the lights and the music.

Buka nodded, and finished getting everything set up. She waited for Rezi to announce the song as she stood behind the curtain. This time she decided to remove the vest, and hung it on the coat rack near the back door.

"May I have your attention please? Thank you all for being so patient with us. This is the final song, and it is basically dedicated to all the couples in the school. But it is also dedicated to two guys sitting in the front row from me and Buka. It is called "The Space Between" by the Dave Matthews Band." Rezi said, and then stood by the microphone as Buka started up the music and soon joined her.

Seto and Yami directed their attention up on stage and smiled. They focused their attention to the music and of course their respective girlfriends.

-*Song Format* -

*Rezi and Buka step out onto the stage, listening to the slow guitar intro before starting to sing. They look out at Seto and Yami respectively and smile softly, then they take their spots*

Buka: You cannot quit me so quickly There's no hope in you for me

Rezi: No corner you could squeeze me But I got all the time for you, love

Buka: The Space Between The tears we cry Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more

Rezi: The Space Between The wicked lies we tell And hope to keep safe from the pain

Buka: But will I hold you again? These fickle, fuddled words confuse me Like 'Will it rain today?'

Rezi: Waste the hours with talking, talking These twisted games we're playing

Buka: We're strange allies With warring hearts What wild-eyed beast you be

Rezi: The Space Between The wicked lies we tell And hope to keep safe from the pain

Buka/Rezi: Will I hold you again? Will I hold . . .

Rezi: Look at us spinning out in The madness of a roller coaster

Buka: You know you went off like a devil In a church in the middle of a crowded room

Rezi: All we can do, my love Is hope we don't take this ship down

Buka: The Space Between Where you're smiling high Is where you'll find me if I get tickled

Rezi: The Space Between The bullets in our firefight Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you

Buka: The rain that falls Splash in your heart Ran like sadness down the window into your room

Rezi: The Space Between Our wicked lies Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Buka: Take my hand 'Cause we're walking out of here Oh, right out of here Love is all we need here

Rezi: The Space Between What's wrong and right

Buka: Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you The Space Between Your heart and mine

Rezi: Is the space we'll fill with time The Space Between . . .

-*End Song Format*-

Yami and Seto stood up and cheered loudly as Buka and Rezi bowed then went backstage. The other students cheered, and then slowly started to file out of the auditorium. They loved the whole concert deal, but they were also starting to fall asleep.

"That was pretty good actually . . ." One girl started as she walked out the door, the same boy that was complaining to Seto earlier agreed with her.

"Yeah, but I think 4 encores was overkill . . ." The boy finished, and walked out with her.

Meanwhile Buka and Rezi were packing up their materials, thoroughly pleased with the overall performance. They especially loved the last song, and secretly they hoped that Seto and Yami enjoyed it as well.

"Rezi . . . that song was great. I loved it to tell you the truth." Seto said, walking up behind her and put his arms around her waist. He kissed her cheek softly before turning her to face him.

"Thanks Seto. That song was dedicated to you two actually . . ." Rezi said, hugging him around his neck before kissing him.

Buka smiled over at Rezi and Seto, and then finished packing up the microphones and CD player when she felt someone put their arms around her neck gently. All she really could do was smile, knowing who it was. But she decided to play dumb for now.

"And I wonder who that could be with their arms around my neck . . ." Buka said half smirking, closing her eyes half way.

"Oh come on Tenshi, you know it's me. That song was really good . . ." Yami said, turning Buka around.

She smiled softly, and looked into his eyes. Buka nodded in agreement, and then hugged him. She knew that both she and Rezi dedicated this to the guys. Either way, they were glad that they picked a good song to go out with.

"Thanks . . . It was mostly for you and Seto. Of course the verses I sang were more for you," Buka started, resting her head on his shoulder.

Yami nodded, then kissed Buka. It turned out to be a very good day for everyone, even the two couples. After the concert they all walked out together, and then went off on their separate ways until the next day.

*****

Buka: Voila! I hope you enjoyed your gift fic Nero. I really had fun writing it, especially this last chapter. A fluffy chapter always helps alleviate the angsty songs in the last four chapters. *Grins*

Ryou: We knew you were going to do a fluffy chapter.

Buka: Is that a problem? *Pokes Ryou*

Ryou: Nope, no problem at all. Now quit poking me! *Narrows his eyes and skitters off*
