I'm back from vacation now so here's the last chapter. I do not own Yu-Gi- Oh but I do own all the characters not in the anime or manga.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lydia couldn't stand any more after the third day. She had to go see Kamuto again. She left when she knew that Yami was busy and couldn't stop her. This time when she arrived at his palace, there were guards in front of it. Lydia tried to get past them without being noticed but was caught just before she made it in. "Let me go! I need to see Kamuto!" she yelled, trying to get away.

The guards dropped her. "No one calls Master by his name unless they can be trusted. You must really mean a lot to him then. We're sorry, you can go ahead in."

Lydia continued but didn't know where to look. She passed a few doors and went in some until she found Duke. "Why did you come back?" he asked. "I thought Master didn't want to see you back here again."

"I have to see him again, Duke. I need to know who he is," Lydia insisted.

Duke shook his head. "Whatever. He's in the room next door. I wouldn't bother him too much. He might not give you a second chance."

She left the room and went into the next. Sure enough, Kamuto was on one of his couches asleep. She sat down beside him and began to reach for his mask. Her hand was only centimeters away when Kamuto grabbed her arm and pinned her down, trying to stop her and at the same time not be too aggressive. "I thought I told you to get away from here, Lydia."

She struggled to get free but it was no use. Kamuto was jut too strong. "I just wanted to know more about you, Kamuto. I had to see you again."

"Sorry, but you're not finding out anything. I'd stop coming here if I were you. You might get killed by a guard or something." he said, releasing her. "I don't want you to get hurt. Stay away from here and go back to Yami's palace.

"But Kamuto," she said, "It's too dark for me to go back, at least by myself." Lydia grabbed his arm.

Kamuto pulled away quickly. "No, I can't fall for you again, Lydia." He whispered to himself but she apparently heard. "I mean, no, I can't walk you home. I can't leave because someone will see me. It's too much of a risk."

Lydia sighed. "No one will see you, it's completely dark. Either you walk me home or I stay in an extra bedroom."

"Fine, Lydia, whatever. Just leave me alone! I'll send a servant into your room later to check on you." Kamuto finally gave in.

Lydia walked across the hall and into the room she was instructed to go to. About fifteen minutes later a servant came in. "Hello, my name is Sehu. Master sent me here to see if you needed anything."

"No thank you, Sehu. There is nothing I need. The only thing I want is gone, it's too late." She said.

"What is it? Sehu asked. "Hiro? Is that what you want?"

Lydia was shocked. "How did you know?"

"I have the ability to read minds, so I read yours. But of course, I would never hurt my master's love."

"What?! Kamuto is in love with me? Since when?" she practically yelled. "When did you find out?"

"Shhhhhh...not so loud. He's always loved you. I told you I could read minds. I also know who he really is." Sehu said.

"Really? Tell me! I have to know!"

"I can't. If I mentioned his name to you, he would have us both killed."

At that moment, Kamuto opened the door. "Sehu!" he yelled and grabbed his neck, trying to choke him. Lydia then pushed him away from Sehu. Kamuto stared at her for awhile and then left without saying a word.

Sehu rubbed his neck. "Thanks, Lydia. He'll probably come after me again tomorrow after you leave."

"Then why don't you come back to the palace with me? I know you'll be safe there." She offered. "We can even go back tonight if you want."

"Okay." He said. "We should be okay if we walk together. I have to get something first." He quickly walked out and went into Kamuto's room. He was taking a long time so she looked in the door. She saw Sehu grab something and then he pushed her. "Come on, we have to get out of here now!" he took her arm and dragged her until they were half way there. "Sorry about that, Lydia. I just had to get us out before Master found out I took Isis's ankh necklace. He was going to destroy it because he can never die as long as it is in one piece. Malik gave it to Yami so he would give it to Isis and Kamuto could never get it. That is why he told Duke to steal it. "He finished explaining as they arrived at the palace.

"Why don't you want Kamuto to die? Isn't that his choice?"

"He has too much to give up at this point, for instance, you." He said as he followed her inside. Everyone was already asleep except for Yami.

"Where have you been all day?" Yami asked. "Kamuto's palace even though I told you not to? You know, you could get in serious trouble when you disobey the Pharaoh."

Lydia had lived with Yami so long that she had forgotten he was Pharaoh. "I'm sorry, Yami. I should have listened."

Yami smiled. "Don't worry about it. Just don't think you can be getting away with it often, okay?"

"I won't do it again. Besides, if I wouldn't have gone, Sehu would have been killed." She said, pointing to him. "Kamuto was about to kill him until I stopped him."

"He sounds pretty dangerous if you ask me." said Yami. "Promise me you won't ever go back."

"All right, I won't go back unless I have your permission." She agreed. "It's late, I'm going to bed."

About three o clock in the morning, Yami was woken up by a loud knocking on the front door and yelling. He got up to answer it but before he could, the door flew open by itself and Kamuto stood outside. "Why didn't you let me in? Where is Lydia?" he asked but Yami wouldn't tell him. "Where is she at dammit?! Tell me! I'll kill you if you don't tell me!!"

"I'm right here," Lydia said, coming out of her room. "What do you want?"

"Just give me the necklace and nobody will get hurt, okay?" he tried to persuade her.

She wasn't about to give the necklace up. "No! I won't give it to you. You only want to break it so you can die!"

"What?! Who told you? It was that slave of mine wasn't it? I suppose he told you who I was at the time too, didn't he?"

"He didn't tell me because he didn't want you to hurt him!" Lydia yelled at him and blocked Sehu's door.

"He's in there, isn't he? Get out of my way!" he shouted back at her and pushed her so hard that when she hit the wall, she couldn't get back up. Kamuto hadn't realized what he had done until it was over. "Lydia!" he gasped and went over to her. "I didn't mean it, really, I didn't.."

"I..can't move." she said weakly. "It feels like I'm.." she couldn't finish.

"No, Lydia," he said, "You can't be paralyzed. Not again."

"How did you know about that?" Yami asked Kamuto. "How do you know about Lydia?"

"Because I'm the one who did it last time," he said, taking off the mask, "I am Hiro"

Yami was shocked. "How can that be? Lydia and I both saw you die and get buried. How are you still alive?"

"It's that necklace I made Duke steal from Isis. It has the power to heal. Malik used it on me and once you're healed, you can never die until it's destroyed. It might have looked like I died, and I did temporarily, but eventually, I came back. It's how Malik is still alive even after you were sure that you killed him. He gave the necklace to you because he didn't want me to get it and destroy it. He never thought I would tell you and assumed it would be safe. Now that I know that it's here, I can get rid of it, of course, after we heal Lydia with it."

"But then won't she die after you destroy it?" Yami asked.

"No, it's just the next time you die, you won't be able to come back to life. After it's gone, Malik can die and he will no longer be able to come back." Hiro planned. He got up from Lydia's side and went into Sehu's room to get the ankh. Hiro then put the necklace around Lydia's neck and she instantly began to heal and she woke up.

"Hiro?" she blinked a few times. "Am I dead too?

"You're alive and so am I." He answered and put the mask up to his face. "Look familiar?"

"Hiro! You're really alive!" she stood up and embraced him like she never did before. "I'm so happy you're alive!"

"That's good but Yami and I have to go." He said while taking the necklace back from her. "We have to go defeat Malik one last time."

"But, Hiro, you can't! I just got you back! I don't want to lose you again. If you die then-"

"Then I'll be revived with the ankh. After we get rid of him, I'll break the ankh and his life won't be restored." He interrupted. "Don't worry, I will come back."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hiro and Yami ran about a half a mile away from the palace so everyone in it would be safe. They knew that they could never find Malik so instead they had to get Malik to come to them. "Malik!" Hiro called, "Come here now or I'll break the ankh!" Malik suddenly appeared and Hiro smiled. "I knew you'd come."

"Hiro, give me the ankh or I'll destroy you and everyone within a mile of here, including Lydia." Malik said and transported her there. "Give it to me now or she'll be the first to die." Lydia hit him in the stomach and ran towards Hiro. "Get over here!"

"Watch Lydia for a minute, will you, Yami?" Hiro asked and Yami stood in front of Lydia. Hiro ran to Malik and stabbed him, but Malik had also had the same idea and stuck a sword in Hiro's chest.

"Hiro! NO!" Lydia and Yami shouted at the same time.

Malik and Hiro both sat up at the same time, dying. "Hiro, if you break the ankh, neither of us will survive." Malik tried to tell Hiro.

Hiro looked up at Malik with the ankh in his hands and smiled. "So be it." He said and broke it in half.

I know, try to hold back your crying. Well, that's pretty much it. I hope you liked it and the sequel WILL BE ADDED AS MORE CHAPTERS TO THIS STORY. It will be just like an update. If any of you have questions, don't be afraid to ask because I will answer all of them.

Here is some info about the characters or story that you probably didn't know.

When I first write this: it was only Part I. About halfway through the summer, I wrote the rest. Malik was not the villain. He was actually a servant for Kamuto as the place of Sehu. The bad guy was actually Heishin from the PSX game YGO Forbidden Memories. Isis was not the Ishizu from the anime. Since everyone was assuming that, I decided that the story would be better if it was her. That was also why I made Malik the bad guy after that. Info on Lydia:

-she was never supposed to be married to Hiro, it was unexpected uhhh.. I think that's it

Info on Hiro:

-he was based on Ezra from R.L. Stine's The Secret, Dallas from The Outsiders, and of course me. (only in personality and somewhat past. I don't kill people) -Hiro and Yami are only half brothers. Same father but deferent mother. -Hiro and Seto are half brothers. Same mother but different father. -Hiro is actually Mexican (don't ask)

Remember, if you want to know anything else, don't be afraid to ask.

-Yami
