The others arrived shortly and shot a million questions towards Yami on why he'd called them there since he didn't give an explanation over the phone. Luckily Yugi had woken up from his little episode earlier and was currently coming down the stairs.

Joey, being a three year old child (heh, sort of), decided he wanted to attach himself to Yugi's leg just as Yugi was descending down the stairs. Yugi gasped in surprise causing attention to be drawn to him-self. The rest of the gang watched in horror as Yugi lost his balance and tumbled down the stairs hitting each one and landing in a heap at the bottom semi hiding Joey from everyone with his other leg.

Three seconds after the fall the most ear shattering screech could be herd from miles away. Not too long after that a knock at the door was heard, which, didn't help the screaming. Yami plugged his ears and made it to the door way only to see Seto Kaiba standing there with a look of annoyance on his face.

"What is going on here Yami?!" Seto demanded looking Yami dead in the eyes. Yami said nothing but moved out of the way as Seto made his way into the ever so crowed game shop covering his ears.

"Well, are you going to tell me or am I going to have to get it from that make-inu's mouth?!" Seto snapped glaring at anyone who dared open their mouth, save for Yami yelling over the screaming. "And where in the hell is that shriek coming from?!" before yami could answer however the sound stopped and everyone rushed to Yugi's side to help their fallen friend.

"Yugi are you all right?!" Tea asked holding Yugi so he was leaning against her.

"I'm fine Tea, I just have a real bad headache is all" Yugi mumbled forgetting that Joey was still in the room and hurt for that matter.

"Yugi is that Joey?" Tristen asked pointing to a small blond figure in the corner.

"Um well you see guys..." yugi trailed off not finding any words to say to his friends.

"I've had enough of this, is that or is that not Wheeler!" Seto snapped glaring daggers at Yugi and Yami.

"Listen Kaiba, you look stressed why don't you sit down and we'll talk?" Yami asked trying so desperately to change the subject.

"Is that my brother or not?!" Serenity snapped grabbing Yami by his shirt shaking him violently. Yami glared at Serenity non-intentionally which made her let go instantly and run to Tristen.

"Yami please calm down!" Yugi pleaded looking at his Yami with some difficulty being all wrapped up in Tea's arms.

"I'm sorry you guys, please Kaiba can't we just talk about it?" Yami asked his voice quiet, as almost a plead.

"Fine, but you better make it a quick explanation" Seto snapped quickly walking into the back room of the game shop with Yami following behind. As soon as they were both inside Yami locked the door.

"And you're locking the door because?" Seto questioned slightly backing away from Yami, feeling unsure if he should stay close the ancient spirit or not.

"Do you really want to know if that was Joey or not Kaiba?" Yami asked dangerously.

"Yes, now was that Wheeler or not, I don't have all day!" Seto snapped momentarily forgetting his worries and stepped closer to the spirit.

"It was" Yami answered simply. "And the same fate awaits you Kaiba" yami smirked after that seeing the look of confusion and worry cross the young CEO's features.

"Why are you turning me chibi?" seto asked not finding his normal voice any longer.

"Because you're my guinea pigs and if you were to suddenly vanish, you'd be in MY shadow for once" yami laughed

"You're crazy" seto croaked out backing up as far as he could go.

Yami smirked and left the room only to return a second later with the second potion he'd conjured up. With that the ancient spirit advanced onto Seto until they'd reached a corner on the far side of the room.

Conjuring up the powers of the millennium puzzle Yami used a little shadow magic to pin Seto to the wall. Yami than forced the light blue potion into Seto's mouth which stayed in there until he swallowed it.

As soon as Seto had caught his breath he started to hiccup and shrink just like Joey had only a few hours before. Yami finally released his hold on Seto and watched as the young chibi ran past him, a look of fear etched in his small features.

Yami laughed insanely before opening the door to the back room which Seto flew out of almost immediately tears streaming out of big blue eyes. But before Seto could reach where the others were Yami scooped him up and quietly made his way over to Joey who was still in the corner.

"Hey it's okay" Yami cooed. "I'm going to take care of you, why don't you come up stairs and you two can play okay?" Yami said holding out his free hand the blond chibi.

Joey accepted Yami's hand sniffling and made his way up the stairs with Yami and Seto. Once they were upstairs Yami went around looking for some clothing that might better fit the younger ones.

Yami came back only to find that Joey and Seto weren't like their normal selves; they were actually playing nicely and getting along. Yami sighed and picked them up setting them down on his bed, wrestling the smaller clothes over their heads. As soon as both boys were dressed Yami sat down and watched as Seto and Joey continued to play, a small smile etched across yami's face.

"I hope Kaiba's not going to kill me when he reaches his normal age again, I really didn't mean what I said...I just...wanted him to be happy" Yami thought out loud to himself.

(Mean while down stairs)

"Yugi, please tell us what's going on here" Serenity pleaded, still a bit shaken up with Yami's glare.

"Well um, I don't really know my self..." Yugi lied looking at the ground.

"Come on Yug' you can tell us, I mean he's the other half of your soul after all" Tristen remarked trying to coax his friend into telling them what exactly was going on.

"I hate to be rude Yugi but can I use your phone?" Duke asked trying to escape the subject.

"Um, ya Duke it's in the backroom" Yugi answered not really knowing about the whole 'Kaiba' incident back there. Duke silently thanked Yugi and went into the backroom quickly trying to go out the door there. As soon as he reached the door something caught his eye.

Curiosity got the best of Duke and he slowly made his way over to the corner only to find Seto's trench coat along with a few straps and his pants and shoes. Duke shuddered but picked up the trench coat and made his way back to the others.

"Yugi" Duke called out

"Yes?" Yugi answered wondering what his friend wanted.

"What is the meaning of this?" Duke questioned a bit harshly holding the trench coat up so everyone could see it.

All eyes turned towards Yugi who looked like he was struggling for an answer.
