Joy: So, here it is, the second chapter of this little story. I cannot thank everyone enough for all the reviews I received. I have never gotten so many for one chapter before, and only the first one to boot! I got fourteen! I almost couldn't believe it! You all really liked this story! Now there are a lot, so I don't know if I can review to them individually like I usually do in my stories and not take up half a page to do it, so I will just answer a few things and move right into the story.

Yami's half of this story is in this chapter. We kind of see what Yami is going to do, and they find a way to fix this mess they seem to be in. And, yes, Yami will be going to Yugi's school for a day, a kind of day in the life of Yugi, thing for him. And a few main characters come into play.

Thank you so much for all the reviews, everyone! You are all so great! Okay, let's get on with the story!


Problems and Solutions

Yami! Yami, wake up! Please! Yami's eyes snapped open and he bolted upright in the bed. The first thing he noticed was that he was in Yugi's bedroom. The second thing he noticed was the absence of Yugi himself.

Aibou? Where are you? And why am I in your room?

Yami, this is going to shock you a bit, but somehow our minds were switched. Now you are me and I am you.

Nani?! Yami screeched.

It's true. Go look in my mirror. Yami did and he was told, getting out of bed and going over to Yugi's mirror. The reflection he saw almost made him fall over in shock.

I really am in your body, Yugi! But…how?

I am not sure why, but I know the Puzzle's magic is responsible. For some unknown reason its Shadow Magic switched our minds. And the bad part is that I don't know how to reverse it.

Yami sighed deeply, but then realized the sigh was not his type of sigh. We have each other's voices, too? All right, Yugi. What I am about to saw will not be pleasant. I am afraid that the Puzzle's power cannot reverse this spell.

NANI?!?!

Calm down, aibou. There is a way to reverse it, but the Puzzle cannot alter spells.

You mean the Puzzle changed our minds but can't change us back? Why not?

It is the nature of the Items, Yugi. A balance of power, really. When the Items were created, the magic properties were split between them. So while the Puzzle has the power to cast such spells, it does not have the power to undo them. No, I fear that is another Item's job.

So…which Item has such ability?

Yami sighed again. He really wasn't looking forward to this at all. The only Item with such power is the Millennium Ring.

…A half an hour later…

Yami was running toward the school. He was just going to make it before the first bell rang, if he was lucky. He had to rush to get ready and out the door as it was. Ryou, the Ring's holder, went to Yugi's school, and the plan was that Yami, posing as Yugi for he had little choice, would attend school and talk to Ryou at the first chance. He would arrange a meeting with Ryou after school and perhaps, with a lot of patience and working together, they could convince Bakura, the spirit of Ryou's Ring, to cooperate.

Yeah, right.

Yami, try to think positive. After all, you're me for now and I always try to look on the bright side.

Yami frowned. Yes, well, it may be your body, aibou, but it is still my mind. And my mind is telling me that Hell will freeze over before Bakura agrees to help us undo this spell.

Yami made it to class and into his seat just before the bell rang. He let out a sigh of relief and waiting patiently for the teacher to begin the lesson. Yugi's first class was English. He seemed to excel in this class, for the teacher was constantly calling on him. Thankfully, Yugi was listening to every question and feeding Yami all the correct answers to avoid any suspicion.

Yugi's next class was History and he shared that class with Ryou. Here is my chance to talk to him, Yami told Yugi.

Okay, go for it, Yugi encouraged him.

Yami went up to the white-haired boy and gave him what he hoped to be a very Yugi-like smile. "Hi, Ryou!"

Ryou smiled back. "Hello, Yugi. How are you?"

"I am feeling we- I mean…I am fine. Um…actually, there is something very important I need to discuss with you and Bakura after school today. Can we meet over at your house?" Yami asked, trying very hard not to blurt out about the switch in the middle of the classroom.

Ryou blinked. Um…Bakura? Do you think that we could meet with them? It seems important.

Why should we concern ourselves with their business? Let them deal with their own problems, Bakura replied.

But…what if it has something to do with us? I mean, Yugi isn't one to burden other people with his problems. It might have something to do with us, Ryou said.

Bakura snorted. Fine. Meet with your pathetic friend.

Arigatou, Bakura. "Okay, Yugi. We can walk to my house after school, okay?"

Yami smiled, letting out a mental 'thank you' that made Yugi chuckle a bit. Then he went back to his seat as the teacher entered the room and started the lesson.

History class turned out to be one of the more enjoyable classes. Yami enjoyed learning about what had been going on in the world's history. Since it was the last class of the school year, there was not a lot to learn, but Yami still paid attention and toward the end of class, there was a test for the class. Surprisingly, Yami found he hardly needed Yugi's help for a lot of the questions.

The test in Math class was also very easy for Yami. You know, aibou. I think I actually enjoy school. Perhaps when the new year starts in the fall, I can go to some of your classes?

Sure, Yami, if you really want to. Yugi smiled. I am so glad he's happy, he told himself, careful not to let Yami hear his thoughts. I want him to enjoy this short time. Hmm…I think that my longing for Yami to enjoy having a real body may have been what caused the Puzzle to switch our minds. Though it is for a short while, I am glad for the chance for Yami to enjoy life.

The only class Yami dreaded was Chemistry. It seemed there were certain chemicals you just should not mix together. So after a lesson on how to use a fire extinguisher, Yami was quite sure he did NOT like science.

Lunch was odd to say the least. Yugi's friends, who had some classes with Yugi but not all of them, always met out in the courtyard of the school to eat lunch. And Yami was not too big on eating, since as a spirit it was not a requirement for him to have food. But Yugi convinced him to eat anyway, for the sake of not attracting attention to himself.

He listened to his hikari and tried to sample some of the lunch Yugi's grandfather made, but had little appetite. This did not go unnoticed by Yugi's friends, who periodically asked him if he was feeling under the weather. "I am fine," Yami reassured them. "I am not very hungry."

After school, Yami left the building and spotted Ryou patiently waiting for him under a big oak tree in front of the school. He went over to him and gave him a pleasant smile. "Shall we go on to your home, Ryou?" he asked.

Ryou raised an eyebrow. He sure is behaving very differently. He sounds so formal. "Okay. Let's go!" The two walked in silence but when Ryou let Yami into his house and shut the door, the pharaoh poured out the story in as great of detail as he possibly could.

Ryou stared at him wide-eyed. Bakura left the Ring and smirked at Yami. "You mean to tell me that you and your hikari have had your minds switched? Now he has the Shadow Powers and you are the weak light?"

Yami scowled. "Watch yourself, Tomb Robber. I am not as weak as you think me to be."

"Oh, this is rich!" Bakura burst out laughing for several minutes, having to hold his sides. He wiped away the tears that fell with him extended laughter and eyed Yami with a smirk. "So…you need me. The Ring is the only thing that can undo this."

Yugi came out of the Puzzle, landing on the floor with a thud. "Yugi, are you all right?" Yami asked.

"Yep. Just not used to this whole situation." He got up and dusted himself off. Then he looked at Bakura. "Will you help us, Bakura? Onegai?"

Bakura could barely contain himself as the urge to burst out laughing swelled up inside him again. Ryou glared at him. "Bakura! You have to help reverse this!"

"Why should I?" Bakura responded, frowning at his light. "What's in it for me?"

Ryou looked down at the floor, apparently in deep thought. Then his eyes lit up, he leaned over and whispered something in Bakura's ear. The Tomb Robber turned to Ryou and said. "You swear by Ra that you will do that?" he asked. Ryou let out a sigh and nodded. Bakura smirked. He turned to Yami and Yugi. "Very well. Ryou has agreed to do something for me in exchange for me helping you. So I will."


Joy: Okay, the next chapter will be the last one. I wanted to make this a short story. But I will put up a sequel if you want. I was thinking of it anyway, so I'll do one if you want me to.

Till then, review and see ya next time!
