"Yah, I know." Yami scooted down beside Harry. "I get to deal with it
every day. Of course by now, Anzu would have intervened with some lame
friendship speech. I guess they work though. We do settle our differences,
if only to send her to the shadow realm. One time we did. but Bakura got
mad because his Man-Eater-Bug threatened to go vegetarian if she stayed. So
we brought her back." He smiled.
"I swear, she's not human!" Yugi dropped in. "I got tired of being the peacemaker! That's Ryou's job anyway, it's his Yami." He explained after a questioning glance from his own.
"So you're leaving it to me." He stated.
"Basically."
"Why would I do that?"
"Cause you know one more glance this direction, I'll put on my puppy face and you won't be able to resist." Yugi chibi-smiled. Yami stuck his tongue out and went to clear things up.
"STAY OUT OF THIS, PHARAOH!!!!" Malik and Bakura yelled at the same time, leaving Ginny in a tight spot to keep them from killing one another. Yami, on the other hand, held up his hands and tried to keep a straight face as he walked back.
"Listen, Harry, I know this wasn't a very thorough explanation-
CRASH!!
-but you have nothing to worry about. What am I saying. Okay, you have tons to worry about, but listen, that's sort of why we're here, I guess. History tends to repeat itself, just with different twists and-
BANG!! BANG! BAM!!
-Keep it down, you two!! Anyway, long story short, like every psychopath we've come across before-"
"Minus Anzu." Yami added.
"Minus Anzu," Yugi agreed. "Voldemort's after the Millennium Puzzle." He held it up. "So far, it's been stolen seven times, plus seventeen attempts, plus an almost-had-it sort of thing with Bakura. Malik had a hold of it a few times, and Bakura tried to put part of his soul into it. Well, I can't really say Malik had a hold of it, it was his Yami, Marik. There is a big difference, it's like trying to incriminate Ryou for murder." Harry only blinked a few times. Yugi smiled sympathetically.
"I guess it was easier with my friends because they found out shortly after I did. Especially when YAMI tried to KILL SETO!!!" Yami blushed slightly.
"Well, he was willing."
"GIVE ME BACK MY ROD TOMB ROBBER!!!"
"YOU PROMISED I COULD HAVE IT!!!!!"
"I DID NOT!!! I DIDN'T GET WHAT I WANTED SO YOU CAN'T GET WHAT YOU WANT!!!!"
"TOO BAD!! IT'S MINE NOW!!!"
Yugi sighed. "I'll go wake up Ryou. He's the only one with any control over Bakura."
"He has no control of his Yami and you know it!" Yami continued to insist. "Where do you think all those bruises all over his arm came from!!" Harry, Ron, and Hermione's head whipped up.
"What do you mean bruises?" Hermione asked.
"Oh you know, those late night 'accidents' Ryou insists on making up." Yami crossed his arms and legs. Yugi scowled at his dark.
"You're never going to give up, are you Yami!! Ra knows we're all tired of it!! Those bruises are accidents, results of clumsiness!! If anything, Bakura forgot about Quidditch practice and left Ryou to keep!!" Yugi cried.
Ron blinked a few times. "Is there something you're not telling us?"
Yami nodded. "Bakura over there is an abusive kusoyaro and has brainwashed Ryou into thinking they are acts of love!!" He declared.
"Yami!!! He USED to be an abusive kusoyaro, and Ryou has only been brainwashed by Malik!! If you haven't noticed, dear Yami of mine, they have both changed!! I saw Ryou kiss Bakura just the other day, and it certainly wasn't forced on Bakura's part." He bonked his Yami on the head with his fist. "You guys don't need to worry about Bakura, he never hurts anyone anymore. Well, he may hurt your feelings with his incredible comebacks and ridicules, but other than that, he wouldn't hurt a fly."
"Liar." Yami murmured.
"Better me than the almighty pharaoh! Just shut up, that's an order!" Yugi commanded. Yami just grimaced and walked away. "I guess I need to explain. A while ago, Malik thought that I was the cause of his suffering. The death of his father and such, you know. At that point there was a big misunderstanding about the Yami situation. It took a while to get it straightened out, and I don't think we saw very much of the real Ryou or the real Malik. Only influences from the darker parts of their mind. Anyway, Bakura got into my puzzle somehow once Marik sent him to the shadow realm, after stealing Malik's body. It was a huge mess."
The three of the blinked simultaneously. Eventually, Hermione spoke up. "So. who's Marik?"
"Malik's dark. He's crazy, so don't piss Malik off. I'm trying to convince Yami to check on him. Malik hasn't been feeling whole without him lately. I know what it's like, the first time I really dueled without my Yami, I freaked."
"I guess I understand." Harry said slowly. "From what I'm getting, you have all innocence. no dark or hateful thoughts, right?" Yugi nodded. "Imagine not being able to hate Voldemort."
"Not even Ryou could ever hate Bakura, as much as it seemed Bakura hated him. Before you asked, I'll tell you right now I don't even wanna talk about it." He shook his head. "Nope, no way, uh-uh! One more thing. you CANNOT tell anyone, Yami's ready to kill. Even the good Yami gets bloodthirsty once in a while, and he's looking for reasons to send someone to the Shadow Realm. I have to lock him in his soul room to keep him from Snape." Yugi smiled a little chibi smile and got up. "Come on, Ryou. It'd be best to avoid trouble in your condition. You shouldn't let Bakura wander so late in your body." With minimal effort that was amazing for his size, Yugi heaved his friend onto his shoulder. Harry and Ron rushed over when they saw Ryou's knees dragging.
"Here, we got him!" The two said quickly, and hoisted the albino up.
"Oh forget it, take the stupid thing back!!!" They turned in time to see Bakura sharply throw the rod, dagger side out. Malik expertly dodged it and wrenched it out of the wall. Bakura death glared, and disappeared to take over Ryou's body.
"Let's go!" He said, much like a four-year-old whose parents were taking too long to pack to go to Grandma's. He walked out, obviously ticked.
"And the winner is Malik." Ginny said dully.
Gomen! Gomen! Gomen! Gomen! Gomen! Gomen! Gomen! Sorry this took so long yet was so short! YYH/YGO: Come on people!! I need something!! Inspiration is in short supply. All I got is Shiori taking Ryou in to keep his dad out of trouble! Not much to go on!!! Sirius: EQUAL VOTES!! NYACK!!! Ginny: Ginny out!!
"I swear, she's not human!" Yugi dropped in. "I got tired of being the peacemaker! That's Ryou's job anyway, it's his Yami." He explained after a questioning glance from his own.
