Disclaimer, I do not own YUGIOH though I wish I did cos I would be super rich!

"Yugi!" Tea cried out as she watched the tiny figure almost fall in a gust of particularly strong wind. She saw Bakura reach out and grab the falling boy and pull him to the safety of the rooftop. Another lightning strike illuminated the scene. Bakura and Yugi battled on the roof with the huge inflated advertisement for the game shop whilst Tea watched anxiously from the safety of the window. The huge inflatable had entangled itself round an inactive power wire, and the two boys were struggling to release it before the power was restored.

Yugi's Grandpa was temporarily out of town, visiting a sick friend. Tea had offered to help take care of the store with Yugi and Bakura. Bakura was now living with Yugi and his Grandfather after his parents had been killed in a freak accident. (A/N: I know that this isn't in the actual story but go with me here!) The storm had cut the power lines and if it was restored before the balloon was released there could be some serious danger.

Yugi and Bakura struggled against the raging wind and rain to free the giant balloon. Tea could only see them clearly when the lightning lit the scene. It all happened so quickly that even Tea couldn't quite make it all out. A sudden flash of lightning hit the balloon just as Yugi managed to cut it free. There was a blinding flash of brilliant gold and for an instant a fierce cyclone blew just on the top of the game shop. Then everything returned to darkness. Tea, having shielded her eyes from the light, looked back at the roof top. There was no one standing there. Quickly she jumped onto the window ledge and climbed to the roof top. She stopped dead in her tracks. Lying spread-eagled on the flat roof were Yugi and Bakura, but they were not alone. Beside each of them lay an almost exact replica of each boy and their millennium items glowed a faint gold colour, before fading completely. At the same moment four pairs of eyes flickered open and surveyed the scene.

Yugi stood up first as Tea remained speechless, rooted to the spot. He held out a hand and pulled his replica to his feet. Except his replica was slightly taller and looked older. "Yami, what happened?" Asked Yugi as he finally stood face to face with the spirit of the millennium puzzle. "I have no idea Yugi. I suspect that my spirit has been removed from the confines of the puzzle and given a body. But I can not understand how, or why!"

Behind them Bakura and his double were surveying each other. Neither said a word. Silence reigned on the roof top until Tea finally found her voice.

"Well, come on then. We should go back inside. I'm freezing and the storm is getting worse!" The others looked at her for a moment before nodding and making their way back down the slippery roof to the open window. Yami climbed in first and held out his hand to help Yugi and Bakura through the gap. He retracted his hand at the sight of the spirit of the millennium ring, and let the boy get in unassisted. He then held his hand out to Tea, who took it gratefully, stepping in to the warm attic bedroom in which she slept. Yami and Yugi closed the windows with some difficulty, as the wind was almost ripping them off of the hinges, and the group trooped down the stairs into the living room. Yami and the two Bakuras slumped into the soft sofa whilst Tea and Yugi looked for candles; the power had still not been restored. Tea fetched some blankets whilst Yugi lit the large open fire and placed the candles around the room. Tea handled everyone a blanket, which they all wrapped themselves in.

"I would make tea, but there's no electricity!" Tea attempted a conversation but it went no further. "Bakura." She began, but when both white haired boys looked at her she stopped. "This is stupid," Piped up Yugi. "Lets call the REAL Bakura Ryou, and call the spirit Bakura. That way we won't get confused." Yugi looked to Yami for reassurance and the spirit nodded once before looking at Tea.

"Do you know what happened?" He asked her, looking deep into her blue eyes. Tea was shocked that the Pharaoh was asking for her opinion. She shook her head. She was confused. One minute there were two figures on the roof top, the next there were four. What had happened between then?

"The lightning!" She exclaimed suddenly, making the four boys jump. "It must have something to do with that." Bakura nodded and said in a deep, husky voice, "The lightning hit the millennium items, catapulting us into this dimension. We have been returned to our bodies and the items have been damaged." For the first time each person noticed that an item hung around each boy's neck. Except both items had been split in two and only half was possessed by each of them.

"What do you think would happen if.." Tea began, but stopped. She had wanted to ask what would happen if the pieces were put back together but she stopped before saying it. She didn't want the spirits to leave, especially not Yami. However, once again he was looking at her with those large crimson eyes. She couldn't meet his gaze and so busied herself by brushing some dirt off of her blanket.

"If we put two items together." Yami concluded. He stood up from his place on the sofa and walked over to the fire. Silhouetted by the light he said. "There is only one way to find out. Are you ready Yugi?" Yugi stood up from his place on a small chair.

"Yes Yami!"

"No Yugi!" Exclaimed Tea. "We don't know what will happen, you could both be killed!"

However Yami was already by Yugi's side. Without removing the puzzle from his neck he held his half out. Yugi did the same. Tea gasped as the pieces drew closer together and finally interlocked. She closed her eyes waiting for something to happen. After a few seconds she opened them. "Nothing happened!" said Ryou slowly.

Yugi and Yami broke apart. A half smile was apparent on Yami's face as he turned to face the others.

"It looks like we are stuck as two entities until we find a way of rejoining our individual souls." Yami said as he returned to his stance by the fire, looking thoughtfully into the flames. Now and again he cast a glance around the room seeing everything first hand for the first time. He had got used to this modern age by watching Yugi's action through Yugi's eyes. He was intrigued by this new era and wish to learn more before he returned to the confines of Yugi's mind.

Tea cleared her throat to speak when suddenly the room was bathed in light. The power had finally been restored. The TV flickered back to life to show the end of the programme that Tea, Yugi and Ryou had been watching. She took a quick look around before saying, "How did you separate?"

Yami looked at her blankly but Bakura stood up and crossed to the window. "It was the lightning, it ricocheted off the balloon and hit the millennium items, separating them and the souls that were around them." Bakura finished and looked over at Yami, an intense look of hatred on his face. "Pity it didn't destroy The Pharaoh, I was looking forward to seeing his hair frazzled. But then again, it wouldn't look too different to how it normally is!"

Yami whirled around and faced Bakura, his palm outstretched. "Don't make me angry tomb robber, or I will send you to an early grave!" Yugi and Ryou jumped in between them before either could do anything. Tea took control.

"Right then, we need to get sorted. Yugi's grandpa is out of town for the rest of this week, maybe more. We won't tell him about all this until he gets back. We will have to sort out beds for you all. If Bakura goes in the spare room with Ryou, there are two single beds in there; Yami could go on the camp bed in Yugi's room. Yugi, can you fetch it from the cellar? I will need to get out the extra bedding but that shouldn't be a problem. We should try to get some rest, it's past midnight and I think we will have a lot to do tomorrow." Tea organised the group, sending Yami and Yugi to find the camp bed. She then dug out some bedding and sent Ryou and Bakura to make their beds in the spare room on the first floor of Yugi's house. Yugi's house consisted of many levels. There was the cellar or basement, then the floor on which the shop was on. Above this was a level with the kitchen, living and dining rooms in it. The next floor had a bathroom and two three bedrooms, one spare, Yugi's and his grandpa's. The final floor was another storage area in one room, and a bedroom in the other with a small adjoining bathroom.

Yugi and Yami found the camp bed and brought it up to his room where Yugi and Tea assembled it whilst Yami looked on. Yugi then got changed and found some pyjamas for Yami. Yugi then went to check that Bakura and Ryou were okay whilst Tea made up Yami's bed. Yami sat by the window looking out. Finally the preparations were completed and all five of them settled down into their respective beds, Tea in the attic room with everyone else in the rooms on the floor below. The drifted into sleep quickly, but each woke at least once in the night, dreaming about the events of the night.

So what do you think. Worth continuing? I need so feedback on possible couples later. I have plans to invent a character later to have ties with Yami and Bakura from their time in Egypt. Does anyone actually want Tea and Yami to get together or someone else? Read and Review pls!
