Hey there, good people! This may or may not be the last chapter for The Dark Side of Me. Will Yugi discover the Pharaoh's true dark side, or is it really a unknown person? Read on and find out! By the way, a new Kingdom Hearts fan fiction will be on the way soon. I promise!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story! Thank you!

Yugi never heard from his friends that afternoon or that evening. Rain poured down from the lonely skies. He put on his rain poncho, and walked outside, but left his grandfather a note.

"I've gone to look for Joey, Tristan, and Tea," it said. "I won't be back for a little while. Stay safe. Yugi." The boy ran down the street, and saw Joey, Tristan, Tea, Mokuba, and Kaiba lying there, one by one.

"What happened to you guys?" he asked, but none of them spoke. Yugi found out why. "You lost your souls! How?" Suddenly, the Dark Magician appeared from a dark and dangerous alley. He grabbed the screaming boy, and carried him to a stone palace.

"Well, if it isn't Yugi Moto, in the flesh," Yami sneered. "I didn't expect you so soon."

"Give me back my friends, Pharaoh!" Yugi shouted, stepping towards Yami's throne. "I'm not afraid of you!"

"How touching," Yami laughed. "You care about your friends. Well, how would you feel if you saw them as Shadow Creatures?" He waved his arm, and the Flame Swordsman, Magician of Faith, Cyber Commander, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and the Man Eating Plant appeared from the shadows.

"Those aren't my friends!" Yugi said, but Yami laughed evilly.

"They are your friends," he whispered. "These monsters contain the souls of your former friends, for now, they are under my control!" Suddenly, a voice rang out through the air, startling both Yugi and Yami.

"Now, Pharaoh!" it said. "Destroy him now! Use the power of the Orichalcos!" Yugi was shocked. That voice sounds familiar, he thought, looking up at the Pharaoh.

"Yugi," he said, looking down at him. "I have a confession to make. I'm sorry, but I joined up with Dartz. He promised me with something I never dreamed of. The power to take over the world!" The earth shook, as Obelisk the Tormentor appeared, looming over the boy. The Seal of Orichalcos appeared on the god's head.

"Obelisk, destroy Yugi with your Fist of Fury!" Yami laughed, although it was Dartz speaking through him. The boy tried to run away, but the attack hit him, knocking him off his feet. Yami stopped the next attack. He ran to Yugi's side. He called upon Silver Fang to see if he was dead. The wolf shook his head. The boy was unconscious.

"Joey, take Yugi to the dungeon to have him rest. I have a score to settle with Dartz." The Flame Swordsman nodded and picked up the boy.

"Well, Pharaoh, I expected you to kill him," Dartz whispered, appearing from thin air.

"You'll never win, Dartz!"

"What a pity. I wanted to see the boy dead. Now, it looks like I'll have to do the killing to you!" He laughed as the Great Leviathan appeared, and surrounded the Pharaoh. "Give in to the darkness in your heart, Pharaoh."

"I won't do it, Dartz! I know that the light of friendship shall overcome your darkness!" Yami yelled, the Puzzle glowing. "Egyptian Gods, attack!" The three gods attacked the large serpent, destroying it.

"This isn't over, Pharaoh!" Dartz yelled. "I'll be back, I swear it!" With that, he disappeared again. Yami was out of energy. He walked down to the dungeon, and saw Yugi lying on a patch of straw.

"Are you alright, Yugi?" he asked, the boy opening his eyes.

"I'm fine, Pharaoh," he whispered. "How are you?" Yami laughed.

"I'm fine, too. Your friends are back to normal. They're outside, waiting for you." He stroked his hair, helped him up, and disappeared into the Puzzle. "I shall always be with you, Yugi."

"I know Pharaoh," Yugi whispered, walking up the stairs. Tea, Joey, and Tristan hugged him as soon as he stepped out of the palace. He looked up at the sky, laughed, and walked with his friends away from the palace.

"I'll be waiting for you, Pharaoh," Dartz whispered in his lair. "One way or another."

Did you like it? No flames! I shall have a new fic up soon!

Review and tell me if I should add another chapter. Toby is thinking about writing a chapter for one of my fics, as usual.

Toby: Hey! How dare you tell my secrets!

Yami: I summon the Summoned Skull!

Oh great. Not again. (rolls eyes)

Toby screams loudly as he runs from the electricity.

Yami: (laughs)
