Ryou: Well we are back with more YGO and the SW so I hope you enjoy it.
Mokuba: runs in out of breath I have a lead on where the muse thief is hiding…
Ryou: Well where then
Mokuba: I think he is in SV's computer hiding out… so SV if you see him tie him up and tell us…
Hermione: walks in and sees Mokuba & Ryou So this is where everyone heads off to…
Mokuba: hey Hermione, can you do the reviewer responses…
Hermione: Sure… Anyways JK would like to thank the following…
In 'ga ga land': To this reviewer, from now on if you are going to be hateful in your reviews read all of the chapters first. Secondly don't start spouting off spelling and grammar errors if you cannot even get the proper spellings/grammar yourself. EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES!!! So don't be that picky and mean. Next Also don't knock the OC if you haven't read more than just 5 Chapters. It takes time to build the personality of the OC's… just ask any author/authoress. Also this is a fan fiction of course the characters are going to be OOC. No one but Takahashi can get their personalities perfectly. Plus Hermione is a witch, strange things don't phase her that much anymore so HA!!! My OC just takes after me, I'm strange so what, and Ron of course he's going to be that mean to Draco. Draco has insulted his family ever since they began school… And I truly don't feel like writing a fiction that will take too long and be so drawn out that my readers lose interest so I'm going to speed certain things up. And the response to your and I quote "Do this because I tell you to!" is BITE ME!!! And because I have over 100 reviews which you added to and made 100 just shows me that I have done something right…
White Phoenix Eternal: I know, I just needed to get in at least one sweet Malik/Sai moment. Hopefully there will be more to come…
Ceribi Motou: Thanks for that wonderful vote of confidence and sure I could and did read your x-overs and I hope that you will enjoy more of this story as it progresses.
SaffronStarlight: Thanks and that just shows what kind of personality I have, but anyways enjoy the chapter…
DimitriFrancois: I know I wish I could have them made, but it's not possible, but anyways enjoy and ILY…
Curtis Zidane Ziraa: It is only adding to the wonderful plot line so hopefully you'll enjoy the rest.
Sorceress Vanessa: Glad I have a wonderful fan out there and here's the next chapter and I will try to send you the next chapter via e-mail. Also would you be a beta reader for future YuGiOh stories for me… just email me and tell me…
Mokuba: starts cheering and throwing confetti in the air WE MADE OVER 100 REVIEWS… HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryou: anyways hopefully we can continue the trend and get even more reviews.
Hermione: here's the chapter so enjoy everyone…
Chapter 15
The days were quickly passing as the holiday break ended and the Hogwart's students returned to school once again. Spring was only days away as the snows melted and new flowers and life began appearing. The Hogwart's students were fully back into the swing of classes as teachers began preparing them for end of term exams. The Yugi and Harry-tachi's were found more often than not in the library researching the ancient evil. Harry was on his way to meet Ryou and Draco on the Quidditch pitch for a private flying lesson when he saw Nikki Mioshi walking towards one of the forbidden corridors. She seemed to be searching for something as the American walked into one of the abandoned classrooms. Harry followed behind curious as to what she was up to. As he came around the corner, he stood outside the classroom listening in on her conversation.
"Mistress it is almost time. The hikari's will soon be under your control as well as their magic," Nikki said.
"Very good my child. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me when I chose you as my apprentice," the mysterious voice said, "Now is the time to strike. Even that blow hard Lord Voldemort won't know what hit him until after I am queen."
"Yes my mistress, and queen you shall be. Yugi Mutou is too naïve for his own good. I was able to gain his trust without raising suspicions," Nikki said.
"There is someone outside the door listening," the voice said.
"Impossible. I made sure I wasn't followed. I should of felt their magical energies," Nikki snarled angry at herself for failing her master, "It's one of those goodie-goodie destined ones."
"Stop them, bring them to me at once," the voice demanded.
"Yes mistress," Nikki bowed before heading towards the door.
Harry realized he had been found out and began running down the hallway. He heard Nikki running down the hallway. He heard Nikki in hot pursuit and tried to put more distance between them. When Harry didn't hear anymore footsteps behind him he slowed down. The raven haired teen turned a corner and came face to face with Nikki and her wand. He didn't dare move as she grabbed his wand from his pocket.
"So Potter we are eavesdropping on other peoples conversations now. I knew that one day it would get you into trouble," Nikki said, "Now move. My mistress is anxious to meet you."
Nikki led Harry back to the abandoned classroom and up to a orb of shadows placed upon the front desk. Harry involuntarily shivered as a wash of cold magic invaded his senses. Nikki forced him to kneel in front of the desk and then watched as the orb took shape. It soon formed into the form of a woman with blazing sapphire eyes, long black hair and Egyptian robes. She carried a staff with the Eye of Horus surrounded by an Egyptian asp on top. Nikki handed Harry's wand to the woman. She examined it carefully before turning her attention onto the scared Gryffindor teen.
"Hmm… Harry Potter, the child that Voldemort seeks to kill. You shall be a valuable ally in the fight to come," the woman said.
"I will never join you," Harry spat.
Nikki hit him on the back of the head, "Do not speak to the future queen that way."
"It's alright my apprentice. He won't be saying much more of that by the time I'm through," the woman said coming closer to the scared teen.
Harry tried to move away from the creature's hand, but Nikki prevented that from happening. The woman's fingers brushed his cheek and moved to his forehead where they stayed. Soon a haunting voice rang through the classroom, flinging Harry's thoughts into jumbles as he became tired. Soon the raven haired teen fell to the ground in a deep sleep. The subconscious commands now set in awaiting the command from their master until they awaken and take over the boy. The woman handed Nikki the teen's wand.
"Mistress what shall we do about him. He will warn the others of your plan once he awakens," Nikki said concern playing in her voice.
"He shall not. He will not remember what has happened here," she said, "I have now set our plans into motion. I have set commands into his subconscious and when the time comes he will be our willing slave."
"Then I shall wake him and leave here as soon as possible," Nikki said, "Shall I take your orb with as well?"
"You may as well. If it is left than that squib may find it," she said.
"Very well mistress," Nikki said as her mistress dissolved back into the orb then she placed into her bag.
Nikki uttered "Ennervate" and Harry woke with a pounding headache. He focused his emerald green eyes onto Nikki's own honey colored ones. Harry sat up slowly looking confused as to where he was.
"Um…Nikki where am I?" he asked the girl.
"In one of the unused classrooms. I just found you passed out and then woke you," Nikki lied, "Perhaps we should head back to the main part of the school before Filch finds us."
"Okay," Harry replied as he stood up and accepted his wand from Nikki.
The American led both teens from the forbidden hallway and into the school proper. Harry still didn't understand why Nikki was down that hallway. Plus every time he got near her he felt a surge of cold, dark magic invade his senses. It felt almost like has happened before. But every time he tried to think of where to think of where his headache became worse.
Harry thanked Nikki before heading out to the Quidditch pitch to tell Ryou he'll have to give him flying lesson later. As he came closer to the field, Harry noticed that there were two duel disks active with Buster Blader and Dark Necrophelia on the field. Harry just chuckled to himself when he saw this and made himself comfortable to watch the end of the duel.
Draco: 1550 Ryou: 700
"Okay Ryou I end my turn by playing a monster in defense," Draco said.
"In two more turns you're going to loose," Ryou said as another letter of the Oujia Board appeared above his head.
Ryou drew his card and saw Newdoria. The British teen had D E A on the field as well as Dark Necrophelia. He checked his hand and knew his best move would be to lay down the Dark Spirit of the Silent trap card.
"Okay Draco I lay one card down and summon Newdoria in defense and end my turn," Ryou said.
Draco drew his card and saw Celtic Guardian, "I summon Celtic Guardian in attack and attack your Newdoria."
"I counter, reveal face down card Dark Spirit of the Silent. I redirect your attack to your face down card," Ryou said.
"Huh? Oh no, my Mystical Elf," Draco said as his life points dropped another six hundred, "Fine then I take it out using Buster Blader."
"Thank you, now you're Buster Blader can join it in the graveyard," Ryou said.
"Oh no," Draco said as he removed the warrior to the graveyard, "I end my turn."
Draco: 950 Ryou: 700
"Very good. Now I shall add "T" to the rest of the letters and draw," Ryou said as he drew his next card, "Only one more turn until the word is complete."
"Yeah, yeah don't remind me," Draco said.
"Fine then. I lay one monster in defense and end my turn," Ryou said.
Draco drew his card and saw part of his Black Luster Soldier and knew he could do nothing else, "I end my turn."
Ryou summoned the final letter to the field and shouted out, "DEATH!"
The duel disks shut down as the duel ended. Each teen began gathering their cards up placing them into their deck boxes. Harry came up to them, clapping at the wonderful duel. A few other students that had witnessed the duel headed back to the school commenting on the duel they had just saw.
"Hey Harry," Ryou began, "What happened? You're late."
"I know, somehow I ended up in one of the abandoned classrooms unconscious," Harry told the two.
"Are you okay now?" Draco asked.
"Nothing, but a headache is all," Harry said, "I was hoping to postpone the flying lesson if you don't mind that is."
"Sure Harry-kun. I think you should go lay down for a little while," Ryou said to the raven haired boy.
"Thank you Ryou," Harry said before leaving the field to go back to his dormitory.
Ryou and Draco watched him for a few minutes before they each went their own ways. Ryou was worried about his koi because there was a strange, but familiar magic aura clinging to his aura. Ryou decided to hunt out his darker half to see what he made of it. Hopefully it was nothing but nerves, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Ryou came across Hermione as she came back from Hagrid's hut.
"Hermione have you seen Bakura anywhere?" Ryou asked the brown haired girl.
"I'm not sure. He's probably planning some new prank to pull on an unsuspecting student," Hermione said.
"Thanks," Ryou said as he contemplated what to do next, "I can't contact him through our link 'cause he's got it blocked."
"Can't contact who, Ryou-kun?" Yugi asked as he came up behind the British teen.
Ryou jumped at Yugi's voice, "You shouldn't sneak up on people like that."
"Gomen, but who were you talking about?" Yugi asked again.
"Bakura. I've got to talk to him about an odd, but familiar magical aura I felt surrounding Harry," Ryou explained.
"Well you want any help in finding him?" Yugi asked, "Plus maybe I can get Malik or someone to duel me."
"Itching for a duel, huh?" Ryou asked as he led Yugi back towards the castle.
"Yeah. I mean we haven't had time. Between classes and researching this ancient evil I have enough time to eat and sleep only," he told his white-haired friend.
"Anyways, have you had any luck in finding anything on the unnamed sorceress in your books?" Ryou asked as they continued on through the courtyard.
"Nothing that we didn't already know," Yugi said, "Seth is still looking though."
"Oh…um, Yugi this summer I was hoping to invite Harry over and I wanted to see if maybe you can persuade Seto to reserve one of his beach side cabins for us," Ryou said, "Actually I was thinking two weeks vacation for everyone."
"I'll talk to Mokuba and get his help on that," Yugi said.
"Thanks Yugi," Ryou said.
The two boys walked in through the main entrance and realized too late their mistake. They both were covered in honey and feathers as balloons filled with whipped cream were fired at them. By the time the assault had ended, the Gryffindor and Slytherin teens looked like Niwatori duel monster cards. They heard laughter from down the hall and saw Yami, Sai, Bakura, Malik, and Marik running away. Ryou and Yugi narrowed their eyes a their darks and vowed revenge on them. The two Sennen item holders stalked to their dorm room to clean up before plotting the untimely demise of their darker halves. As the two came in; Ginny, Luna, Seto, and Seth just stared at them. Mokuba fell off his chair in hysterical laughter.
"What happened to you two?" Ginny asked them.
"Our darks," Yugi said anger in his voice.
"They are dead meat next time I see them," Ryou said as Yugi agreed.
"I take it one of their pranks went astray," Ron said as he came in.
"This was planned, that much I can tell you," Yugi told the redhead, "Come on Ryou, we have a funeral to plan."
"Right behind you," Ryou said following Yugi out of the common room.
"You know Yugi is really scary when he is mad," Ron said.
"You've seen nothing yet to tell you the truth," Seto said as Sorcerer agreed with him, "When he is beyond pissed, his glare could make the strongest heart run cold in fear."
"Wow, you mean that innocent child is that scary?" Luna asked.
"Hai…he is. So I would steer clear of him and Ryou until they have exacted their revenge," Seto said turning back to his laptop.
Mokuba got up and went to find Yugi and Ryou to see if they needed any help. The raven haired boy found the two hikari's in Yugi's room cleaned of their feathers and other gooey stuff. Yugi looked up from his book and motioned for Mokuba to come over. Mokuba crawled onto the bed and sat down waiting on Yugi to talk.
"Mokuba, you've played plenty of tricks on Seto, correct?" Yugi inquired.
He nodded his head, "Yea, why?"
"We need your help to play the ultimate prank on Yami, Bakura, Sai, Marik, and Malik," Ryou told Mokuba.
"Hmm… when do you want the prank to happen?" Mokuba asked.
"End of term during the end of term feast or there about," Yugi said.
"That gives us about a month to take care of what we need then," Mokuba said, "Every night we'll have to get together to plan and get ready then."
"Agreed and no telling anyone else what's going on," Ryou said.
"And act as if nothing is wrong," Yugi finished.
All three pranksters shook hands sealing the secrecy pact and left the room to attend to other business. The three boys went back into the common room just as Yami, Marik, and Bakura came in. Yugi just sent a glare at the three spirits before leaving to attend dinner. Ryou approached his Yami needing to talk to him about Harry.
"Bakura I need to speake to you," Ryou said.
"About?" he began cautious of his hikari's temper.
"Harry…" Ryou began, but was cut off.
"What did he do? If he hurt you in any way…" Bakura ranted.
"No…no… it's not like that at all," Ryou began trying to calm down his yami, "I just felt an odd magic surrounding his aura is all. It felt familiar, but strange."
Bakura watched the white-haired teen closely, "How so? Elaborate further…"
"Well it felt like his magic was being tainted by shadow magic. Similar to a yami taking control of someone else's body," Ryou explained, "Very similar to when Yami, Sai, and Luna were taken control of. But still not the same. It felt dormant…asleep… as if waiting on something."
"What do you think of this Pharaoh?" Bakura asked Yami.
"I'm not sure. He wasn't harmed or being controlled was he?" Yami questioned Ryou.
"No…unless it could imitate his personality and ebb of magic perfectly," Ryou told him.
"Then perhaps it is nothing. Maybe some of the magical signatures from the holiday are clinging to his aura from the tomb we were in," Yami said, "For now we'll just leave it be. It's probably nothing."
"I hope your right," Ryou said softly before leaving the room.
"I hope your right as well Pharaoh. 'Cause if any harm comes to either child I will make sure you go onto the afterlife the hard way," Bakura said heading down to the Great Hall for dinner.
'I hope I'm right as well,' Yami thought to himself before following the rest of the group to dinner.
Ryou: We would like to give a special shout out to tiger-of-ice who gave us the basic idea for the ol' tar and feather prank that was used. We changed it slightly but still - THANK YOU!!!
