Here they are, all the rest of the characters.

1.1.1.1 "Buurrrpppp!" Yugi's eyes popped open at his own burp. At first, he blushed and glanced around to see if anyone had heard him. Then, he realized 'Oh, yeah, I'm alone.' He sat back, very much at peace with himself. He had just eaten six steaks, six helpings of potatoes, and six bowls of soup. He was about to reach for the seventh and last meal when he thought, 'Maybe I should save some for tomorrow.' Shrugging, he got up and stretched out, yawning. 'I wonder if there's any place to sleep here.' He wandered the little cottage and, finding a rickety, rotting old staircase, decided to risk his good health and climb it. There was only one wooden door to go through at the top, so he entered the room and found seven, comfy-looking beds. He was so tired that he just sank into the nearest one and fell, fast asleep.
2 ~*~*~*~One Hour Later~*~*~*~
"Oh, jeez, am I tired! Working the mines all day…well, at least I dug up a new blue-rock for my collection." said a brown-haired elf, stretching out his arms.
"Seto, what are you talking about? You just sat on your duff all day. I dug up that rock and gave it to you because I felt sorry for you." answered a female voice.
"Well, Anzu, you know he lives off of pity." said a white-haired creature, knowingly.
"Yeah, from now on we'll call you 'Lazy'" teased a blonde one.
"Only if you get to be 'Ugly'" 'Lazy' retorted.
"Have you looked in the lake lately? You're uglier than I am!"
"Stop making fun of my brother!" The smallest figure in the group raised a shovel threateningly.
"What? We're your brothers and sisters, too, dingus. What the heck do the rest of us look like?" raved a pointy-headed one.
It was amazing that this bickering group didn't wake our little prince up as they neared the house. With their picks and shovels banging around, they all clambered into the cottage, still arguing. But they stopped dead in their tracks and in their words when they saw their dinner table.
"What the…?
"Who…?"
"I'm going to kill the one who ate my steak!" (A/N: Just guess who said this!)
"Hey, mine's still here!" The second girl in the family smiled happily and began to chow down, not noticing the looks on her brothers' and sister's faces.
"How can you think of food at a time like this, Mai?"
"Umm…because I've got some?" The others were about to tackle her down when one of them said. "Quiet! The crook might still be here!"
They immediately shut up and split up to prowl the house. Almost immediately, the short one cried out, "I found him! He's in the bedroom!" They rushed up the stairs and piled into the room. "Shhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they hissed at each other. They tiptoed to surround the bed with the sleeping boy in it. They peeked over the footboard and the sides of the bed.
"Hey, that's my bed! Do you think he's got lice?"
"Shut it, Jou! That kid's the one in danger of lice!"
"Are you insulting my hygiene?"
"Quiet, he's waking up!" Sure enough, Yugi had finally woken up. He sat up, started to rub his eyes and froze. Slowly taking his hands away from his eyes, he peered around at the curious and slightly elfish faces.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", screamed Yugi.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", screamed the seven faces.
They stared at each other after this little screaming contest. For a loooong time. Finally, someone broke the silence.
"Who are you and why are you in Jou's bed?"
"I'm sorry; I didn't know it was his." Yugi said, scared. "You're not going to eat me are you?"
"Y'know, maybe we could. He did devour most of our dinners." After seeing Yugi gulp, the first girl answered, "Seto's just kidding. We aren't ogres. We don't eat humans."
"Then what are you?"
"Dwarves, what else?" she said, matter-of-factly.
"But you're not short; you're taller than I am." Yugi pointed out.
"Do you really need to rub it in? We know. We're a genetic mutation." scoffed the one that had threatened to eat him.
"You guys are all related?"
"Yep, just like mommy and daddy!" answered the second girl, cheerfully. (A/N: Well, it was common practice back then!)
"Oh sorry, we forgot to introduce ourselves! My name is Anzu and theses are my brothers and sister: Jou, Honda, Bakura, Seto, Mokuba, and Mai." They all waved cheerfully at him, with the exception of one or two of them.
"My name is Yugi." With that, a flurry of whispers surrounded him.
"Aren't you the prince of the kingdom outside the forest?"
"Yeah, but…" he told them the story of what happened.
"Oh, you poor thing." said Anzu. She grabbed his head and hugged it tightly to her chest. He blushed like a tomato. "You must stay with us, we'll protect you!"
"You can protect him…" Seto mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Yugi, if you want to, you can stay with us. But you'll need to take care of the house. Y'know, cook and clean and stuff." reasoned Bakura.
"Yeah, I can do that!" So they struck up a deal with the wild haired boy. He would cook and clean while they were away at the mines.
So the next morning, he made them all breakfast and they went off to work, but not before they warned him. "Do not open the door for anyone. The king will know that you are here. He is an evil magic-user."
~*~*~*~Back at the castle~*~*~*~
"Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the most adorable of us all?"
"Tis' Yugi, living in a house of log,
So compared to him, you look like an ugly dog.
Pegasus' wine glass shattered in his hand. He called out to his guards, and had them send a message to the executioner.
"Behead the scum that I call a hunter." When they left, he got up slowly. 'I might as well do it myself.' He walked up to the mirror and pressed his finger to the panel on top. The mirror and the wall behind it shifted upwards to create a narrow hole in the wall. He stepped in through the hole and slowly walked down a set of stone steps. He ended up in a pitch black cavern. With a wave of his hands, he lit all the candles and the room illuminated with a dim golden light. The space was filled with cauldrons and dusty spellbooks and jars of slimy objects. He walked over to a tall altar in the center of the room. On it stood a huge leather-bound book and there was a strange golden eye set into the cover. He opened it and began to skim for the best way to slay an enemy.

I apologize to all the Jou and Kaiba fans, someone needed to take the fall…
