AN - So what do you think? And there's more to come. Keep reviewing as I have no idea where this story is going at the moment. It could go anywhere!

I do not own YuGiOh!!!! Isn't that kind of obvious?

Yami awoke to the smell of cooking wafting up the stairs. He sat up and looked over at the peacefully slumbering form of Yugi. He climbed out of bed and stretched, then crossed to the window and looked out at the street below. It was too early for anyone to want to go shopping at this hour. Besides it was Sunday, and the shops opened later than usual today. Yami was amazed at hour much he knew about this modern world, but he had spent almost a year watching this new world through the eyes of Yugi. Yami smiled at the boy, who was still fast asleep. Now that Yami had his own body he wanted to explore Yugi's time for a while.

Yami pulled on the clothes that he had worn the other day, as none of Yugi's clothes would fit him, and descended the stairs to the main living area below. The fire now burned low in the grate and a few waxy patches on tables was all that was left of the candles that had given them light the night before. Yami opened a door and walked into the dining area, which was already set for breakfast with five places laid out. The mantelpiece caught his attention; on this were many photographs of Yugi and his family. There were photos of Yugi's friends too, a picture of Tristan and Joey having another argument. A picture of Ryou and Yugi at a theme park. Yami picked up one photo of Tea; she had obviously been caught unawares at the time of the photograph, as she looked shocked and annoyed in the picture. She was wrapped in a towel and her hair was wet. Yami smiled to himself, the photo was quite recent and the offending camera stood on a small table to his right. He was just about to put the picture down when he heard a noise behind him. Turning round he saw Tea standing there, a plate of toast in one hand and a pot of hot tea in the other. Under her arm were several newspaper, magazines and the post. She placed these on the table before looking at Yami.

"You are up early, I thought that you would all sleep until at least.."She stopped at the sight of the picture in Yami's hand. Blushing furiously she ran at him and snatched the picture out of his grasp. Yami did not even put up a fight. Tea began to say something but Yami just gave her a knowing smile and sat down at the table, reaching for some toast. Infuriated Tea ran up the stairs and Yami could hear her heatedly arguing with Yugi about his perverted picture. Footsteps on the stairs foretold of the entrance of Ryou and Bakura. Bakura, looking as grumpy as ever, sat as far away from Yami as possible, muttering about rude awakenings from bossy girls. Yami noticed that Bakura too had not been able to find other clothes that fitted him, as he too was dressed in the same attire as the previous night. Ryou attempted conversation with Yami and Bakura, but the two enemies were to busy watching the other, waiting for one false move. Ryou didn't even try to tell the two boys that Bakura was pouring tea over his cereal and Yami spreading jam on the table rather than on his toast. Ryou quietly picked up the daily paper and began to read whilst drinking his orange juice.

An irate Tea and a bashful Yugi shortly joined them. Yami noticed that Tea placed the photo frame back on the mantelpiece, devoid of any picture of a half dressed Tea. Yugi also disappeared into the living room and a ripping sound was heard. Through a gap in the door Ryou could see Yugi burning pieces of a photograph in the dying fire. The five sat in relative silence through out the meal, only speaking to ask someone to pass something. When they had all finished Yugi and Yami cleared the table whilst the others went and got washed. When Yugi and Yami finished they went upstairs to wash themselves and then joined the others in the living room.

"We have to call the others" said Yugi. "We need to tell them what has happened here."

"We should definitely let Joey and Tristan know what has happened," mused Ryou. "But what about Serenity and Mai?"

"I'm sure we can trust them both." Replied Tea. "But I think we should tell them altogether, at once. We should call them here to do it, we don't want anyone else to find out about this. Remember that no one should know that Yami plays all of Yugi's duels."

"You are right Tea" voiced Yami. "We shall call them all here to tell them."

An hour later Mai, Serenity, Joey and Tristan were standing in the shop looking bewildered. Tea and Yugi had not yet opened the shop for trading but Tea had let the four in and had told them to wait there. Before anyone could speak she rejoined them and beckoned them into Yugi's grandpa's back room, where he had his breaks during the day when the shop was quite. It was a small room with a kettle and a few comfy chairs from which you could clearly see the shop should anyone come in. Tea began to speak.

"We called you here because we have something to tell you. Last night's storm caused a slight problem for us. Yugi and Ryou had to go onto the roof to cut free a large balloon from some power wires."

"But that's really dangerous." Gasped Serenity "Were they hurt?"

"Not exactly," Tea began as she led them up the back stairs towards the living room. "They were not hurt, but something happened to the millennium items. They were both struck by lightning and there were some.uh.. adverse effects." Tea finished opening the door to the living room. On the couch facing them sat Yugi and Ryou. Except they weren't really Yugi and Ryou, because Yugi and Ryou were standing behind the couch. The two on the couch were really Yami and Bakura.

"Oh!" Exclaimed Serenity. "Wow" Breathed Tristan. "Oh my." whispered Joey. "What?" Said Mai, looking at Joey. (AN crony joke just there. Mai/My. Get it? Um..)

Yugi was the first to speak. "We are fine but we can't rejoin souls. It's okay."

Joey walked forwards and clapped Yugi on the back. "Course you are buddy. We knew dat all along. We were just a bit shocked that's all!"

"Not nearly as much as we were!" muttered Bakura darkly, but Yami shot him a look of pure venom and Bakura shut up.

The friends talked for ages about what had happened and what they were going to do. Eventually they decided that until a way was found to reunite the souls they would have to stay separate and Bakura, Yami and Ryou would continue to live with Yugi. Tea would return to her house as now there were plenty of people to look after Yugi, and she missed her teddy.

"But what about clothes!" said Mai. Everyone looked at her.

"This isn't the time for fashion shopping Mai!" sighed Tea.

"Not for me! I mean for Yami and Bakura! I mean they can't wear these clothes all the time can they?!"

Everyone nodded but no one said anything. The fact was that the shop hadn't been bringing in enough money to spend a lot on clothes for two temporary visitors. Suddenly Joey remembered his manners. Walking up to Yami he looked up at him. (AN - I know that Yami is actually really short but for the sake of the story, imagine that he is tall. Even taller than Tristan!) Joey extended his hand to Yami who looked at it blankly.

"I wanna thank you for winnin' the battle city tournament and givin' me da prize money for Serenity's operation. You made it all possible man!" Joey said to Yami.

Yami smiled and took Joey's hand. "The credit for winning goes to Yugi as well, but I accept your thanks. The prize money was never mine to give. The only thing I wished to do was beat Pegasus. Yugi was the one who negotiated the prize!" Yami withdrew his hand as Joey smiled at Yugi.

"I know, but I already thanked Yuge for this!" He said.

Serenity looked nervously at the king of games in front of her before whispering, "Thank you!" and darting next to Tristan for protection.

"Hey that's it!" exclaimed Joey. "The prize money! There was a bit left over from Serenity's operation. I was gonna buy Yugi an extra special present for Christmas, but if he doesn't mind I can give it ta you and Bakura ta buy some clothes with!"

"Of course I don't mind!" said Yugi.

"Then it's settled!" said Tea "You boys can all take Yami and Bakura shopping. "Serenity, Mai and I will move my stuff back to my house and meet you for lunch later!"

So the group left the house. Yugi put a notice up at the shop window saying 'Refurbishment in process. Reopening at a later date!' whilst saying to Yami, "This way customers won't think we have permanently closed. I'll repaint the walls in the shop later so grandpa won't be angry!"

They separated at the end of the street, the boys heading to the mall, the girls for Tea's house. The agreed to meet for lunch at a little Spanish Café, called El Deporte de los Reyes (The game of the kings in Spanish).

AN - So what do you think? Any ideas for storylines, romances, arguments etc? I may add a new character soon to add interest, any ideas on that one? Keep reviewing please!
