Yugi took in a deep breath. She and the others had just gotten back from the Pharaoh's Memory world. She looked around to see all her friends gasping. The Pharaoh, now identified as Yami, stood behind her with his usual emotionless expression. Yugi smiled at him.

"Well, you must really be happy now that we've figured out your name and everything." Yami gave Yugi a gentle smile and took the young one's hand in his own.

"Yes Yugi, I truly am." When Yugi turned away, Yami's smile turned from gentle into a sinister smirk. The girl went over to her friends to try and help them.

"Hey guys, are you okay?" Joey groaned.

"Yeah, I'll be fine … once my heart starts beatin' again …" Yugi giggled.

"That was so cool … Let's do that again!" Tristan yelled. The others all sighed. They had yet to notice that Seto Kaiba had been there since they came back.

"Have a nice trip, Dorks?" Joey, insulted as usual, stood up only to find that his legs were still a little wobbly.

"Ah, put a sock in it, ya freakishly tall … bully!" Kaiba rolled his eyes.

"Ooh, nice one; did you come up with that all on your own?" Joey was about to come up with a witty comeback when he was interrupted by two groans. Everyone looked to the stairs to see not one … but both Bakuras.

"Uh oh …" Tea whispered. Yami stood there and just blinked with still no emotion in his eyes. Everyone was cautious as they stepped up to the unconscious Bakura. Joey picked up a stick and poked him a few times. There was no response for a while so Joey poked him again.

"Knock it off, Dimwit." Everyone was startled.

"Stay back!" The blonde idiot said. From his shadowy spot in the corner, Yami rolled his eyes. Bakura groaned as he got up,

"Relax … I can't hurt you … well, not anymore at least." Yugi cocked head.

"How come you have a physical form now?" Bakura shrugged.

"How the Hell should I know? Why don't you ask the Pharaoh over there? He's got one too!" The thief said as he went over to check on Ryou. The teenagers all turned around to see that he was right.

"How did this happen?" Yami, who now stood with his arms folded in a casual way, shrugged as well.

"Perhaps it is our … 'reward' for finally destroying the last evil of the world." Yami crossed his legs due to his lie, knowing for a fact that evil was not yet destroyed. Bakura exhaled in an annoyed manner.

"Perhaps it's our nah, nah, nah, nah, nah..." Bakura mocked "Oh come off it, Pharaoh! It's the Gods' way of punishing us! We're stranded here to live out our lives as idiot humans!" Yami just stared at him, not moving an inch.

"And what would I have to be punished for?"

"I have no idea!" Bakura more exclaimed then stated. "But it has to be something!" Yami's smirk became dark and evil.

"You're right. There is a reason why they would want to punish me and never see me again." Yugi looked over at her best friend.

"What to you mean, Yami?" Yami grabbed Yugi's wrist and gently pulled her to his own body, causing a bit of friction.

"What would you think, Little one?" He asked seductively. Yugi was getting nervous. She had never heard her dark friend speak in that manner before. she tried to scream, but Yami covered her mouth in a gentle, kiss. Yugi tried to scream, but was stopped by Yami's tongue in her mouth … and what was more strange was that Yami's tongue felt … forked. The others all gasped when Yami began to kiss Yugi. Seto growled at the sight

"Hey, what's the big idea?" Joey demanded. Each one of them looked shocked that the 18 year old as kissing the 16 year old. Yami finally pulled away, leaving Yugi shocked.

"I haven't had a kiss like that since I convinced Eve to eat from that damn forbidden tree." Saying this a little too loud caused Yugi's eyes to widen . The others had heard too.

"Oh my God …" Tristan said. Atem cringed at that name, "You're Lucifer!" This time, Yami glared at the boy.

"I don't really like people calling me 'Lucifer'; it's a slang term that the Christians made up for me."

"Wow, SO did not see that comin'!" Bakura said. Yugi was pulled away from 'the devil'. She did not know what to say.

"Y-you are, aren't you? Y-you're Satan?" Tea said, Yami smiled at Yugi, walking up to her.

"Oh, now don't be scared, Yugi. I would never hurt you." Then Yami stopped waiting for Yugi to come to him.

"I know you won't" Yugi starting walking to Yami, but Tea blocked the devils way but Satin used his dark magic to move tea out of the way.

"Now, now; you know my name is 'Yami'." Tea shook her head, causing a few tears to fall to the floor.

"N-no, t-the Yami I-I know w-wouldn't d-do this to us Tea said getting up Yami smirked again. "Tea stop before you get hurt" Yugi said

"The Atem you know … sold his soul for more power. My memories showed me what happened and what I truly am. I wanted more power from Egypt and a demon by the name of Satan offered me more power in exchange for my soul." Everyone listened with horror. How could they have befriended the devil? Then Yami continued. "With this extra power, I wreaked havoc on Egypt but there was one problem," He stopped his story and looked at his light, who gulped when those shining ruby eyes landed on him. "It was getting a bit too crowded. So I terminated the old Satan and became the new Source of Evil … that is until my priests found out about my black desires and locked me away in that damn puzzle, hoping that I would stay in it for all eternity." He gently caressed Yugi's face.

"So all this time, we thought it was Bakura who we needed to look out for when it was really you!" Yami smirked and nodded.

"Yeah." Kaiba stepped up.

"So now what, are you going to reclaim what you had back then?" Atem chuckled.

"No, Kaiba. What I had back then was Egypt. However, now I can go back to Hell and take my rightful Place as the Source of Evil."

"The Source of Evil?" Tea repeated.

"Also known as King of Hell. As long as I am around, there will always be evil in the world." Yugi just stud there not knowing what to do.

"Well … w-we'll stop you … j-just like every other e-evil freak we faced!" Tea said Yami slowly turned his head to look at Yugi. Yugi walked to Yami and he held her close to his body.

"You'll have to do that without Yugi he began to rub Yugi's soft cheek again. Yugi put her head on Yami's shoulder, she was not scared she knew Yami loved her and she loved him. He tilted the girl's head up so that Yugi was looking at him straight in the eye, "I have plans for you."

"I trust you, forever" Yami smiled and kissed the girl's forehead.

Then Yami's ruby eyes began to swirl, placing Yugi under a trance. Yugi's eyes began to droop and finally she could not hold them open any longer. She fell into a deep sleep. Yami held tighter Yugi as he slid the rest of the way down to the ground. He looked at the rest of the group, who were all too shocked to move. Yami's form had changed … a little. In his hair, his outfit had also changed he wore black leather pants, black shirt no sleeves and a black cape with the puzzle around his neck.

"Don't worry, I promise not to hurt her."

"Where are you taking her, Pharaoh?!" Bakura said.

"Ah, ah, ah, it's Source now. I'm taking her back home to Hell." Tea gasped.

" She won't survive there!"

"With me there, she will." Joey had had enough of this.

"Oh no you don't! Let her go!" Yami's eyes shown a brighter red as Joey was thrown harshly against the back wall. Tea, Tristan and Ryou went to make sure he was alright. His head was bleeding a bit, but other then that he would live.

"All I want is Yugi. You need not worry about her; she will be safe with me. Go on with your lives and forget about us." Kaiba was about to pounce on Yami just before the demonic pharaoh disappeared in a flash of fire. The tall brunette groaned.

"They're gone!" He looked over to see that the others were still comforting Joey.

"Well … he won't get away with this …" He tried to stand up, but he was too weak. Bakura sighed and crossed his arms.

"Oh, and just how ya gonna get to Hell, Twerp? Book a plane?"

"We'll find some way. We always do." Tristan responded. They all knew that they needed to get Yugi back from Yami. After all, without the little bundle of joy, everything just seemed so dull and grey. Someway, they would get Yugi back.

"Ay we will" Kaiba said

Since when do you care about Yugi? Everyone said looking at the CEO

"OF COURSE I CARE ABOUT HER YUGI'S MY DAUGHTER! SETO yelled at the gang, all of them gasped Joey fainted.
