Prologue
Yugi ran as fast as he could, his tri coloured hair spatted with rain as he tried to get away from the battle, away from the strange people trying to capture him, away from Yami who had saved him, giving him the task to find Malik and Marik's home.
"Krii Kriii" (Look out)
Narrowly avoiding a pole, Yugi set off a faster pace, trying to find safety. Although if it was not for Puhara, his Kuriboh guardian he would have knocked himself out for several hours at least, and who knows what could have happened while he was out.
He could not notice it but Puhara was just as worried as he was. Tears were streaming down his face as he reached the block that Malik and Marik's house were.
"Krii Kriiiii" Puhara said as she desperately tried to calm her little guardian down. It worked a little bit but not enough to get Yugi to slow down and see where he actually was.
"KRII KRII" (look out) Puhara shouted a little too late as Yugi collided with another boy with snowy white hair.
"Ow" the boy moaned as he picked himself up, offering a hand to Yugi as he picked himself up.
"Ryou, you alright?" a voice asked as another boy came up to them, the snowy white long hair revealing him to be Bakura.
"I'm fine 'Kura but I'm not sure about Yugi" the boy, Ryou said as he came over to Yugi and tried to calm him down as Puhara had tried to do minutes ago, his white hair also splattered with rain.
"Yugi calm down, it's all right."
...sniff...sniff...
"Kii Kii" (Shh shh) Puhara soothed, floating down to rest on Yugi multi-coloured hair as Bakura now took notice of them and the state that Yugi was in.
"Pharaoh's brat, are you ok, hey where is the Pharaoh?"
"'Kura" Ryou warned, but the damage had been done and Yugi burst into a fresh wave of tears.
Before anyone could stop her, Puhara head butted Bakura in the head and before the former tomb robber could catch her, she floated back and settled on Yugi's head again.
"Ow" Bakura complained before trying to strangle the brown duel monster before being stopped by Ryou.
"Not now" Ryou growled, bringing his attention back to Yugi and started to try to calm him down again.
Ignoring what his hikari was doing for the moment, Bakura turned his attention back to Puhara, still on Yugi's head. "What happened?"
Sighing, Puhara told them that weird people in black robes had suddenly attacked them and Yami had used Shadow magic to get them out of danger but not before telling them to get to the Tomb Keepers home and to stay there until he came to get them.
Ryou and Bakura exchanged looks before Bakura took off to where Puhara had described where they had been ambushed.
Ryou slowly pulled Yugi to his feet with Puhara floating by his wet head. They slowly made their way towards the Tomb Keeper's home, only slowed by the rain that the weather people had been predicting all week.
They eventually made it to the Tomb Keeper's apartment and apart from getting wet from head to toe; they had not encountered any threats.
After shaking themselves relatively dry, they started up the stairs, grateful that Malik and Marik's apartment was only one level up. Careful not to slip, they started to climb, stopping only when someone accidentally slipped.
When they finally reached the right floor, they were surprised to find Marik waiting for them, his platinum hair tensed.
"I could sense the Shadow Magic from here, what happened?" he asked as they approached him.
"Can we get inside first, please?" Ryou asked, now almost dragging Yugi along.
Marik opened the door and the others were slightly surprised to see Ishizu and Malik waiting for them on the living room couch.
"What happened?" Malik asked urgently as he and Ishizu rushed forward to help Ryou with Yugi.
Puhara however quickly floated over to Marik's ear and muttered into it that Yami and Yugi had been ambushed, Bakura (after hearing what had happened) had gone to help and he had asked if Puhara could ask Marik to come and help. (He was not taking any chances with this new threat. If the threat were so great that the Pharaoh had sent his hikari away, then he would probably need all the help that he could get)
Without another word, Marik called the shadows to him and disappeared, leaving only a few dark wisps in the room. Puhara vaguely heard "Stupid Pharaoh, couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag in a proper fight" before the shadows disappeared completely.
After finally getting Yugi to fall asleep and leaving him in one of the spare rooms, Ishizu and Malik rounded on Ryou and Puhara (mostly Puhara) for answers.
Puhara avoided the questions at first, saying that they needed to tell Yugi's grandpa what had happened. After a quick call to him they turned back to Puhara and after many threats (from Ishizu), puppy dog looks from Malik and tickling her (From Ryou), she finally gave in and told them.
"Master Yugi and Yami were walking home from the mall with some food for dinner" Puhara started. "Yami didn't sense it until it was too late. Someone was watching us and it was not the evil fan girls (Puhara had started to dislike fan girls after they had pulled her brown fur, thinking that she was a toy, it had taken all of Puhara's self-control to act like a toy and not to start attacking the fan girls.)
"Fan girls are evil" Malik interrupted, thinking back to when they had swamped him for autographs while pulling his long platinum hair.
"I agree" Ryou said, also thinking back to when fan girls had tried to follow them home after school one day. The fan girls had not annoyed them at first, but it got to a point where Bakura had gotten so annoyed, he had sent them to the Shadow realm, just to have some peace and quiet.
Ryou hadn't mentioned it to him but after the fourth time that week, he had stood up to Bakura and made him to only send one group to the Shadow realm per week and to release them by the next morning, or he would need to find a new place to live.
Bakura had grumbled a bit but eventually complied, although he said he had only done it because he did not have anywhere else to go.
...ANYWAY...
"The weird people were wearing black cloaks, white skull masks and they also had these sticks that started shooting out red lights at us" Puhara said, her voice now starting to break up a bit as she started to cry a bit.
"So you just left him there?" Malik asked anger clear in his voice.
"Of c-c-course not" the small duel monster bawled.
Puhara had been trying to be strong for Yugi's sake but even the little Kuriboh could not hold it in anymore and started sobbing quietly on the soft yellow carpet floor.
"Malik" Ishizu hissed, now trying her best to calm Puhara down. Her black hair was for once not in several gold jewellery pieces. "It's Ok... shh-shh-shh," she said to the now sobbing duel monster.
Puhara crying lasted for another five minutes before Ishizu could start to calm the small puffball down.
Puhara was still sobbing when she managed to tell them that Yami had purposely sent Yugi and her away, so that they would not get hurt and to try to warn Ryou, Bakura, Malik and Marik, that they may try to come after them next. After that, all they could get out of her was more crying along with a hiccup now and then.
In the end, they put her on the pillow next to Yugi (to try to get her to go to sleep).
Malik and Ishizu returned to the living room with worry showing on their face to wait for, hopefully Marik with, hopefully Bakura and Yami.
Around 2am, Malik and Ishizu had almost fallen asleep, while waiting for the yami's to return. The millennium Rod (forgotten by Marik in his haste) was placed next to him, on the small coffee table.
Yugi was still clutching the gold Millennium puzzle. (Yami had given it to him before sending them away).
Puhara was sound asleep on the fluffy pillow, her purple hair ribbon next to her on the bedside table.
Ryou was sleeping in the other guest room after he had put Puhara in on the pillow next to Yugi. The millennium Ring (given to him before Bakura had gone rushing off) was placed on the bedside table.
If anyone had been looking they might have seen the Puzzle, Ring and Rod glow, but only if they were looking close enough.
Across Town, two bizarrely dressed people stood with three 9yr old boys, asleep at their feet.
"What do we do with them Albus?" One of them asked, while staring at the pale-skinned boy.
"I don't know Minerva, but for the moment, perhaps we should take them to St Mongo's" the other said, staring down at a tanned boy with spied platinum hair.
"Are you mad! These boys probably have families that are worried sick about them."
"I don't mean to disbelieve you but to allow their children to have hair like this then they must not care for them."
"What about Harry Potter?"
"Harry's circumstances were different"
"So what do we do with these boys?" Minerva asked, sensing that he was not going to go with her idea to return them to their families.
"We take them with us and erase this town's memory of them."
"What if they did have families?"
"Anyone close to them like close friends or family will remember them but no-one else"
"Fine" the female, disappearing while holding the platinum haired boy.
The second one held up a wooden stick straight up to the sky, which sent out a burst of light while muttering "Obliviate."
As he disappeared also, he failed to notice the shining eye on the boy's foreheads that he was carrying or the blinking lights scattered around the small town, blinking back in response.
A/N:
Puhara is Yugi's partner who somehow manages to escape the Shadow Realm on occasion when Yugi needs her and Yugi was the one who taught her how to talk so he could have someone to talk to when Yami is busy or not around. She is also very emotional as a side effect of travelling through the two dimensions.
