Well, here's the fourth chapter. I'd like to acknowledge Kajita. As soon as I received his review, I knew I had to continue this story. I'm going to try to put up the next chapter Friday.

Disclaimer: I don't own crap. -----------

The dark figure sat upon a throne in the midst of the darkness. He slowly stood up, and started walking. His purple robe, made of silk, complete with gold lining swayed behind him.
"Delightful. He's coming. Malik, make the arrangements. Retrieve the item." A familiar voice commanded.
"Yes Yami-Sama. And what shall I do about the guests?" Malik, in an obedient voice, asked.
"Dispose of them." Returned the Pharaoh, as he embarked out the door.

Yugi and Seto drove to the Game Shop, with Yugi wearing all 7 Millennium Items. He thought the weight would be unbearable, but it felt not more than a pound. Yugi felt a poke.
"Huh?" Yugi muttered, shaking off whatever was on his mind.
" I asked what you plan to do." Seto asked again, being patient with the younger boy.
" I don't really know. I just know the items allow the pharaoh to live, and they remove his spirit from this earth, as well." Yugi replied.
"Well, you better be right. We're here." Kaiba replied.
" I am."
Yugi opened the door, and walked out. Seto locked his Mercedes, and they walked to the door of the game shop. Yugi put his hand on the handle. He turned pale and started shaking.
Seto pulled him away from the knob.
"Yugi, what's wrong?" The boy asked, genuinely concerned for Yugi.
"I can't do it Seto, I just can't do it." Yugi exclaimed.
"You have to do it Yugi. You have to do it for Anzu, and Sugoroku!" Seto encouraged Yugi.
"I... I'll try."
Yugi put his hand on the knob again. The feeling was overwhelming, but he persevered, and turned the knob. With what seemed like years, he forced the door open. As they barged inside, the feeling that took Yugi over took Seto over.
"My god.... This feels terrible. Such emptiness."
"I know..... Let's go, before it gets worse."
The duo walked forward, into the darkness. No matter how far they walked, it was just darkness. Until, a light appeared ahead of them.
"Yugi, help me!" Anzu's voice cried out from the bright light.
"Anzu! You're alive? Thank God! Where ar..." Yugi was cut off by a maniacal laughing. The light disappeared, and a figure appeared in front of them.
"No Yugi. I'm just fucking around with you. I assure you, your friend is thoroughly dead." The voice said. He walked forward, revealing himself to be Malik.
"Malik, remove yourself from our path, and we will spare your life." Seto offered.
"What a kind offer. I decline. Prepare to die!" Malik exclaimed while jumping forward, pulling out a Katana. Kaiba picked up his umbrella, and blocked the blow.
"Yugi! Get out of here and do what we came here for. Don't fail Anzu!" Seto exclaimed, blocking blow after blow of Malik's.
"All Right!"Yugi yelled, while running in a random direction. He knew that the shadow realm would bring him to wherever the creator desired.
Minutes of running later, Yugi reached a door. We was extremely tired, but he continued on. He flung the door open. Before Yugi knew what happened, a hand clenched around his throat.
"Hello, Yugi. Are you ready to die?" A meniacal voice inquired, before the grip on his throat tightened. Yugi knew what must be done. He brought his hand to the gold of his Millennium puzzle. The metal felt cool beneath his fingertips. As soon as he touched the puzzle, he stopped resisting, and brushed his finger over the eye. A light shone forth from eye of the puzzle, enveloping the shadows.
Yugi woke up, on a stone slab. A headache awaited him. From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure moving. As his eyes came to cope with the new surroundings, he recgonized it as Yami.
"Where am I? How did you survive Yami? I killed you!" Yugi yelled, sobbing.
"Isn't it obvious Yugi? Have you not realized the truth? I can not be killed. The only way you will survive is to join forces with me." Yami said calmly, hovering over the slab. Yugi tried to punch Yami, but his hand was stopped by metal chains.
"Stop it, Yugi. Wake up." Yami exclaimed.
"Shut up Yami. I see the truth, and I will defeat you, one way or another. Yugi mustered all the strength he could, and broke through the chains, punching Yami in the face. The two tumbled around, exchanging blows. Yami ended up kneeling on the ground. His face, covered with stains of blood, dirt, and sweat. Yugi, standing, promptly collapsed onto the ground.
"I told you you had to wake up Yugi. Perhaps that is impossible for one such as you."
"Shut... up..." Yugi said, as his eyes shifted out of focus.

"Wake up, my friend." A voice said in Yugi's sleeping mind.
"What?" He asked himself.
"Look." The voice said again. Yugi's eyes opened. They didn't have to adjust, as there was no light, or darkness. He was in his mind.
"Shadi? What are you doing here? I thought you would die with the Millennium items!" Yugi hugged Shadi, overjoyed.
"That is true."
"Then what happened?" Yugi inquired.
"I will tell you, once you awaken. Much has changed." Shadi replied. "For now, sleep."

And with a final sigh, Yugi slept.

Like it? Hoped so. Stay tuned.
