A Yami's Tour of Great Britain
Side fic to Harry Potter and the Millennium Items, A closer look at their Holiday/Vacation in Britain before Yugi, Ryo and Marik stumble upon a whole other world of magic.
Chapter 1) Thank you for flying Kaiba Corp Airlines
Grasping the strap of his full to the brim backpack Yugi bounced on the balls of his feet glancing around the bustling airport in awe, not counting duellist Kingdom and Battle City Alcatraz Island he'd never been abroad before.
Yami stood beside Yugi in Spirit form with a sombre stance, despite his amused smile that found its way onto his face. He shared in Yugi's excitement although he'd much rather be about to return home to Egypt and show Yugi the wonders of the World's oldest and greatest Civilization.
::We can visit Egypt alongside Marik and Ishizu like Bakura:: Yugi reminds Yami who shuffles his feet awkwardly and replies ::not with Him::
::Marik?:: Yugi asks him glancing up at Yami.
::Him:: Yami states ::Yami No Marik::
::Aw come on:: protests Yugi "it wouldn't be so bad, I mean he's coming with us on our tip to Britain remember?" he says cheerfully while Yami doesn't reply "oh…" Yugi gets it "you worry to much" he laughs.
"Quit talking to yourself" a gruff voice snaps at Yugi as Bakura makes his way over to him and Yami effortlessly toting a large gym bag over his shoulder.
"I was only talking to Yami" Yugi defends himself.
"Huh" scoff's Bakura "passer byers can't see your Yami" he states with disdain "don't act insane"
Yami takes over from Yugi and moves towards Bakura "you're a fine one to talk Soul Stealer" he snaps back causing Bakura to glare daggers at him.
"Oh goody a fight ten to one says it ends in bloodshed!" a mocking voice declares.
Bakura and Yami's feud forgotten for the moment they turned around to glare at Yami No Marik, Marik's uber evil alter ego. Holding a canvas bag the deranged Egyptian smirked at the ancient spirits before him.
"You!" growls a livid Bakura it seemed the prospect of an evil Yami team up in the future were unlikely as Bakura still bore Yami Marik a grudge over that time he was defeated by him in a shadow game.
"You!" snarls a wary Yami at the same time as the Tomb Robber, Yami No Marik existed merely for chaos and destruction, he could never get along with him.
Marik takes over from his Yami before anyone can start summoning monsters "Pharaoh, tomb Robber" he greets them casually "Don't worry I'm in the drivers seat, at least for the duration of the flight anyway" he chuckles "Ishtar's afraid of flying" he explains.
/:Am not! I fear nothing, no man, no beast, no God, no realm and certainly not a flying metal bird of doom!:/
"Ishtar?" Yami asks him.
"Got to call my Yami something" Marik shrugs "figured Bakura has his Hikari's last name so…" shrugs again.
Bakura folds his arms clearly irritated "Bakura maybe my host's last name but is also my name and has always been my name" he states coldly before relinquishing control back to Ryo who stumbles nearly dropping the heavy bag he found himself carrying.
Yami also returns control back to Yugi who greets Ryo warmly "Bakura kun" he gives Ryo a quick hug, Ryo smiles shyly at the show of affection "please call me Ryo, Bakura is more…his name"
Yugi nod's his head solemnly while Marik slaps Ryo heartily on the back nearly sending him flying. Recovering from this Ryo smiles back at Marik "Salutations Marik, Yugi" Marik smiles back forcedly and leans over to Yugi and in a stage whisper asks him "What did he say?" Yugi giggles at his antics.
"Hello you berk" Ryo laughs good naturedly "got you" replies Marik with a thumbs up sign "seriously guys" he continues "thanks for inviting me along Yugi"
"Well with you carrying on like that begging, pleading, praying to Hathor, Bes and Isis and so on how could I not" Yugi teases him.
"Well it worked" claims Marik "and that's the main thing"
"What's so great about Domino anyway?" Ryo asks him "I thought you loved Egypt"
"I do but you know what they say" Marik grin's "home is where the pharaoh is"
"You know even if you manage to convince Ishizu to let you stay here" Yugi steels himself "It'll mean you have to go to school"
Marik pales for a moment but then relaxes "Ha, you nearly had me then I can always play hookie" he claims.
Ryo shakes his head "I should never have introduced him to television" he mutters.
Grampa Motou finds his three teenage wards chatting amongst each other. He observed his Grandson with pride, Marik with some ire and Ryo relievededly neither he nor Yugi spoke much English and while his friends in Britain spoke Japanese he knew having an interpreter come along would be useful.
Yugi, Marik, Bakura" he greeted them all, and they broke of their conversation to look at him expectantly "All packed and ready to go?" He asks them. Bakura nod's his head and says "oh yes sir" while Marik shakes his bag by way of answer.
"Our flight leaves in twenty minutes" Grampa states "now where's our terminal" he scratches his chin thoughtfully.
"Over here Grampa" Yugi leads the Way to Kaiba Corp airlines flight 16 leaving at terminal ten, a display above it announced it as the domino to Cardiff flight. An Attractive Air Stewardess in a Dark Blue uniform with a KC insignia above her top pocket was caching tickets.
Marik bumps into a man passing by causing him to stumble "watch it pal" Marik growls "anyone would think you owned the plane!"
Kaiba turns around to face him "I do" he declares folding his arms he glares impassively at Marik.
"Kaiba?" gasps Yugi drawing Kaiba's attention from Marik to himself, he glances at the terminal they were heading for "leaving the country Yugi?" he asks rhetorically "don't forget when you return I expect a rematch" he stalks of his trademark trench coat flapping cape like behind him.
Marik give's Kaiba's retreating form the finger before following Yugi and Ryo up to the check in desk where Grampa Motou was waiting for them. After Grampa Motou, Yugi, Ryo and Marik are passed through although Marik had to use the Millennium Rod to prevent customs from discovering his and Bakura's stash of pointy objects.
In the plane Yugi had a window seat and was glancing out of it at the ground in wonder waiting for the plane to take of. Ryo was sandwiched in the middle and was trying valiantly to read a Roswell High book, that mixture of Sci-fi and Teen angst appealed to him. Marik was leaning against him in an aisle seat and was bored out of his skull.
"I'm bored" he whines. Yugi isn't paying any attention just staring out of the window like a two year old while Ryo merely grunts un-Ryo like and says "I'm busy"
Marik groaned Ishtar was locked up tightly in his Soul Room wanting nothing to do with flying you could tell just how bored Marik was if he was willing to strike up a conversation with Ishtar.
"But I'm bored" he whines rubbing his head against Ryo's shoulder. Yugi finally notices his boredom and laughs "how can you be bored?" he asks incredulously "look were flying!" He gestures at the window where the runway was racing past as the Plane taxied of into the wild blue yonder. Marik looks out of the window for several seconds before turning back to Ryo "I'm bored" he whines.
"Give me five minutes Marik" says Ryo "I want to finish this chapter" Marik sighs "but I'm bored now" he complains. It was alright for everyone else Yugi was a kid in a candy store so long as he had his window, Ryo had his book and even Grampa Motou was occupied with a newspaper crossword a few seats ahead. "Just let me finish this chapter Marik" states Ryo "then I'll do whatever you wanna do, I promise"
Marik gives Ryo a hug and plants a kiss on his cheek "thanks Ry" he smiles madly. A bloke in the next aisle across at looks at them in disgust "can you not do that" he snaps "it's not natural"
A blushing Ryo glares at him and with a British stiff upper lip retorts "your flying" he snuggles up to Marik acting the part to perfection. At least Marik wasn't bored anymore; the look on that blokes face was priceless besides he'd only wanted Ryo to duel him in the first place.
Half way through the flight they experienced Airplane food. Ryo having a vast experience in such meals saved the drink but declined the food. Yugi in his ignorance and despite Ryo's warnings accepted his meal and later regretted it. Marik however finished both his and Yugi's meals displaying a stomach that far from been cast iron must have been made of reinforced die cast steel.
Hours later they finally arrived at the airport and after going through customs where Ishtar and Bakura amused themselves by banishing several other passengers luggage to the shadow realm. Grampa Motou turned to them as they stepped out into the world "here we are" he declares a twinkle in his eye "Cardiff"
