Chapter One:

Dreams in Domino

He was falling.

The hole was never ending... It never stopped.

And then he hit the ground, hard. Somehow he managed not to break his bones.

The amethyst-eyed, rather short teenager stood, looking around.

Wherever he was, it was dark. He crept through the hallways, silent.

And then he heard voices.

"M-Master! We found them! The Shadow Mages!" Squeaked a voice in English. Somehow, the teenager understood it.

He stopped, sliding against the wall as not to be seen.

"Good..." Said another voice. It struck fear into the boy's very soul. It sounded powerful, snake-like, "Where are they?"

"Domino City, sir! Japan!"

The snake-like voice chuckled.

"Good. Now, Wormtail, I do believe that we have a visitor."

Footsteps came towards him. He ran. This was no dream. This was a vision.

"AVADA KE-"

"YUGI!"

The amethyst-eyed boy sat up to the yelling of his yami.

He looked around viciously, before seeing the Pharaoh leaning on the bed in spirit form, looking worried.

"Are you alright?" Yami asked, crimson eyes troubled.

"Yeah..." Yugi whispered.

"No, you're not. What were you dreaming about?"

"I..."

How the hell was he supposed to explain it?

"Well... It was dark. And.. Two people.. They talked about 'Shadow Mages' in Domino..."

Yami stood and walked to the other side of the room, muttering to himself. The ancient Pharaoh often did this to figure things out.

"I had a similar dream." The Pharaoh finally said, fingers drumming on his crossed arms, "I saw the people talking... One looked like..." He shook his head, "A snake... He had slits for a nose and red eyes... The other had the air of a rat, actually... I don't understand..."

"I don't think either of us do." Yugi honestly said.

"YUGI, ARE YOU AWAKE?" His grandfather's voice shouted up the stairs.

"Yeah!" Yugi called, getting up to get dressed. The Pharaoh respectively went into the Puzzle as his hikari did this.

Once dressed, Yugi crossed the room and went downstairs.

...

Seto Kaiba had had enough.

First, the hallucinations and holographic malfunctions in Battle City, then the weird dreams, and finally, the bird on his desk.

It sat there, looking up at him with, actually rather beautiful, brown eyes. It hooted and once again, kicked the letter towards the young CEO.

Kaiba assumed he was supposed to take the letter, but was attempting to work.

The bird gave an annoyed, and rather loud, hoot and pecked him.

Kaiba yelped, pulling his hand away from the keyboard, rubbing it with the other.

The bird hooted and seemed to glare at him, kicking the letter towards Kaiba one more time.

Kaiba scowled and took the letter.

Seto Kaiba

KaibaCorp Tower

CEO Office

Desk

Kaiba scowled at that.

"Just a little creepy.." He muttered, and continued to read.

It has come to the attention of The Order of the Phoenix that Death Eaters are after you. They want you dead. A member will be on the roof of your building at midnight on the 23rd of August to apparate to London. Please make sure Yugi Moto and Ryou Bakura are with you.

-Albus Dubmledore

Kaiba scowled at the letter. This was bullcrap, obviously. Some sort of joke. It had to be.

"Apparate"

What the hell was that? Some sort of British transportation? He knew it was British, because of the mention of London, but.. What the hell was 'The Order of the Phoenix" or "Death Eaters"? The unfamiliar terms made Kaiba's head throb.

He scowled and threw the letter across the desk.

The bird hooted at him with distaste.

"What?" Kaiba asked it, as if it would answer, "You expect me to believe that crap?"

It was that moment that Mokuba Kaiba crashed into the room, hitting the carpet at a full-speed slide and going head-over-heels.

Mokuba sat up.

"THAT WAS AWESOME!"

Kaiba gave a sigh, though not of annoyance. It was more of a 'what-am-I-going-to-do-with-you?' sigh.

"Nii-san," Mokuba said, looking up at his big brother, grinning ear to ear, "You didn't see that, but I was like, WOOSH!" He made a gesture with his hand to prove his point. Then he noticed the owl, "What's with the bird?" He asked.

Kaiba sighed.

"Some jokers sent me a letter via this bird- Who, I should note, has some anger issues- saying that some 'Death Eaters' were after me, and some 'Order of the Phoenix' would come to take me to London."

"London?" Mokuba repeated, "Like in England?"

"Apparently."

"But, Nii-san, you don't know much English."

"I know that."

Kaiba stood and shooed the bird off of his desk, only for it to take residence atop a filing cabinet.

The elder Kaiba gave an irritated huff, but had given up on trying to get it to leave at around 10 this morning, when he'd tried to throw the thing out the bathroom window, only to have it fly right back into his face.

God...

...

The dream was different tonight.

Ryou Bakura stood in a graveyard. It breathed eeriness, fog hanging low and crows here and there.

Ryou started walking through the place, not watching where he was going.

He did once he hit the Grim Reaper.

It was a tombstone, tall and scary, defiantly a Grim Reaper.

Ryou turned and ran, and tripped over a mundane head stone.

A scene unfolded before his eyes.

There was a rat-like man leaning over giant cauldron, a raven-haired boy in the Grim Reaper's arms, a wad of fabric in his mouth. He was struggling, attempting to scream.

Ryou almost got up to help him.

((Yanushi, it's not happening.))

(What makes you think that?)

Ryou struggled for control of his own body.

((Because I can tell. It's a memory.))

Control was lost, and he sat there in the back of his mind, watching through his eyes, but not in control of them.

The rat-like man then cut off his forearm. It dropped into the cauldron, which sizzled and fizzed a poisonous blue.

The rat man sobbed and crumbled away to the other side of the tombstone, before crawling over to the struggling raven-haired boy, and cut him on the inside of his forearm. The boy tried to scream, but with that dirty fabric in his mouth, it was hopeless.

The blood of the boy was dripped into the cauldron, and the contents sizzled a blinding white. Bakura's arm came up to shield their eyes, which widened in horror at the sight of what was in front of them.

Out of the cauldron, something was growing. It was like one of those sped up films they had to watch in 3rd grade of a plant growing over a long period of time. It grew and grew, and took the form of a man.

At least, it was humanoid.

The two had a hard time believing the thing that just came out of the cauldron was human. It was tall and pale with a snake-like nose, and two slit pupils, surrounded by a red iris. But it did not remind them of a cat. It was a snake.

It climbed out of the cauldron, and faced the raven-haired boy.

"Harry Potter." He breathed, in English. The only reason Bakura understood was because of Ryou.

The snake-like thing stepped from the cauldron- naked, of course- and the rat-like man gave him black robes.

It faced the boy, "Harry Potter", with a horrifying look in his eyes. He raised his hand, a stick within it, and opened his mouth, before the Ryou and Bakura were woken by a pounding on the door.

Ryou, back within control of his body, slipped off of his bed and put his feet into his slippers, and, drowsy with sleep, mind reeling with the dream, he got the door open.

Yugi stood there.

"Hey." Yugi said, "Did an.. Owl come to you recently?"

Ryou thought over what he'd just heard.

"Excuse me?"

As if on cue, through the open window, was a brown blur. The bird hit the coffee table, then rolled onto the ground.

"Oh!"

Ryou helped the poor animal up, but it was fine. A beautiful bird, tawny, with dark green eyes, held out a letter to Ryou.

Ryou blinked.

"Take it." Yugi said, "It'll peck you half to death if you don't."

Ryou nodded slowly and took the letter from the bird.

Ryou Bakura

Domino City

Domino Arms Apartments

Apartment 23

Small Bedroom

Ryou scrunched his eyebrows together.

Ryou Bakura, it has come to the attention of The Order of the Phoenix that Death Eaters wish Seto Kaiba, Yugi Moto and yourself dead. Meet on the roof of KaibaCorp on August 23rd at midnight to be taken to London.

-Albus Dumbledore

"Albus Dumbledore..." Ryou read aloud, "Who is this guy?" He asked, turning to Yugi.

"I have no idea." Yugi admitted, "But who would go through such an elaborate thing just for a joke. Because Kaiba called me yesterday demanding to know if I got a letter via an owl, which I did. And now you've got one..."

Yugi looked off into the distance, thinking.

"Well," Ryou said, "If it's true, and these guys want us dead, then should we listen?"

Yugi's amethyst eyes looked into Ryou's brown ones.

"I dunno... I mean... What else are we supposed to do?"

"Have you.." Ryou muttered awkwardly, "Been having weird dreams? Like, creepy snake-faced guys being born out of a giant cauldron?"

Yugi blinked.

"The weird dreams and creepy snake-faced guy I can account for, but... Being born out of a cauldron? Nope."

Ryou flushed awkwardly.

"I mean, everyone has different dreams and just because I had a dream doesn't mean you did and I just-"

"Bakura, chill."

Ryou did as he was told, and stood there fiddling with his hands.

"So we just wait?" He asked, "See if it's all a hoax?"

"Yep."
