White: -Eyes knives and tomatoes warily- Ok, now, I know that I haven't updated for a really long time but I have a good reason.

Yugi: And that would be?

Yugi: -snickers-

Let's do an A and Q, now, shall we?

Chapter 2:

Cherry-San: Yes, I'm used to calling the by that too, but when you start to watch to much Yugioh and start reading too many of Skyla Doragono's fics, then you tend to move that way too.

DarkMagicianPrincess: I'm not putting Yaoi, but more like light shounen-ai. If I were to do more heavier stuff, they would be separate and would be posted at And hey, you got more, right?

Keeper Of Destiny: You want Seto, you got him! And yes this will be YyxY, YmxM, YbxB. Shounen-Ai all the way baby!

Mafdet-TK: Yes, Seto will be in this, but I have the houses I want them to be in already set up. Hey I had many months to do this, eh?

Y.Bakura: -Snickers- That was fun

Yugi: -Sweatdrops- Well, you readers can now start reading.


Chapter Three: Supplies, Phoenixes, and Seto

Suddenly a voice called out to the two. "What are you doing down there?" They both turned around to come face to face with a pale blond-haired, lavender eyed boy.

In an instant, Yugi and Bakura found themselves being dragged out of the dark and creepy-feeling area and into the warm sun-bathed area of Diagon Alley by none other than the once insane Egyptian, Marik Ishtar.

Once they got there, Marik let go of his iron grip he had on the two other hikaris. Bakura winced as he gingerly rubbed his arm. "Ow, what was that for?" he asked.

Marik folded his arms across his chest and looked at the pair. "You guys shouldn't have been in there," he said. "There are many shady people in there who didn't appreciate you being in there."

Yugi frowned. "Why? We didn't do anything. We just got lost."

Marik frowned. "Next time, be more careful."

"We were being careful!"

A platinum blonde brow curved into a graceful arch. "Oh? So I suppose you two did notice someone was following you with a rather sharp-looking knife?"

At that, Yugi and Bakura both paled in unison. Mairk gave them a triumphant smirk. "See? The wizarding world is full of people that can either be friend or foe." He turned and started walking in no particular direction. After a moment, Yugi and Bakura snapped out of the trance like state and took after Marik.

"Hey, you know, you're starting to sound like Isis," Bakura commented as he and Yugi caught up to Marik. He just shrugged.

"Well, if you lived with her almost all of your life, you can't help but pick up on things she keeps nagging you on."

"Huh?"

Marik smiled. "I came here around in the afternoon yesterday. Wandered off into the same alley I found you guys in. Called Knockturn Alley. Anyway, I decided to go look around but after a while, I got this creepy feeling that those people in there wanted my head since almost every store had shrunken heads and they were looking at me weirdly. One man even approached me. If it wasn't for my yami, then I would think they would have succeeded in have another head for collection."

Yugi and Bakura sweatdropped. Marik then took a sharp turn towards a store called 'Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.' The two hikaris looked at each other. So this was where the wand store was.

The three of them entered the rather small and dusty store with shelves all around with boxes containing wands stacked on top of one another. There was not much lighting here; most of the source came from directly from the sunlight filtering inside. Bakura went up to the small counter in the middle of the store with a silver bell resting on the tarnish surface.

He rang the bell once and waited. Immediately, a ladder swung into view, an old man clinging to it. All three jumped in surprise, including the yamis. If you had cared to listen, you might have heard Yami Bakura cursing loudly from within his soul room. Bakura winced slightly.

-Yami, please do try to be more quiet please?-

--Hmph-- was the only response Bakura got. Rolling his eyes, he tuned back into the real world, where the creepy old man climb down the ladder to greet them. His pale eyes regarded them for a moment, before his thin lips curved into a small smile.

"Ah, you three must be the new foreign late starters, am I correct?" They nodded. "I'm Mr. Ollivander. Let's get started then shall we? Who's going first?"

All three were hesitant at first but after a moment, Bakura stepped up voluntarily. Mr. Ollivander made his way around the counter over to Bakura, a measuring tape in hand.

"Now which is your wand arm, Mr. Bakura?" he asked.

Bakura was taken aback a little. 'How did he know my name?' But he decided against asking and answered his question.

"Um, well, I'm left-handed, if that's what you're asking."

Mr. Ollivander then began measuring Bakura's arm from shoulder to fingertips, and from ground to arm, all the while talking about the history of the wands within the store. After a while, the old man wandered to the shelves behind him, pulling the thin boxes out of its place on the shelves.

After what seemed liked forever, with Yami Bakura muttering about how the old man was taking too long, he finally returned with several wand boxes in his thin arms. He set them down onto the counter, pulled one out from its container and held it out to Bakura. "Here we go. Maplewood. Eleven inches long, with a unicorn hair as the core. Great for transfiguration."

Bakura reached out and took the wand into his hand, looking at it stupidly.

"Well, go on. Give it a wave," the suddenness of the voice startled Bakura with the soft snickering foreshadowed it. Regaining his composure, Bakura raised his arm. But before he could bring it down, Mr. Ollivanders snatched the wand from his arm, leaving him blinking in surprise.

"No no, that won't due, how about this one?" he muttered, handing Bakura a new wand. "Mahogany, nine inches, with dragon heartstring."

Bakura also took that wand and waved it around, only to have it taken back and finding himself holding a new one. The wands kept piling up, leaving a tired Yugi, three spirits and one Egyptian teenager annoyed, a frustrated Bakura and a somewhat pleased shopkeeper.

"Ah one of the trickier customers, eh? Well now, I'm sure there will be a wand in this store here right for you," Mr. Ollivanders commented idly as he yet again went to fetch another wand. He returned with yet another wand. "Here, try this one. Not the usual materials of a regular wand, but it may suit you. White gold, ten inches, with the core made up of a hawk's feather. Quite strong and versatile."

Bakura gripped the wand, but unlike the others that he held, warmth coursed through his body, giving him a warm sensation that felt a lot like his yami. Bringing the wand down, a shower black and white flew out of the tip, alighting the store with dark and light lights. Yugi and Marik jumped in slight while Mr. Ollivanders smiled.

"Well, I think that was the right for you. Quite a hawk to tell you. All proud and elegant. Seemed smart too. People called those creatures the Egyptian Gold Hawk. Very beautiful. "

Within the back of his mind, Yugi could hear Yami Yugi muttering, 'Why the tomb Robber' and 'That idiot isn't worthy of a god's creature'

Bakura handed the shopkeeper 9 Galleons and stepped back as Marik took his turn. Again, the process went just like Bakura's with an exception. Mr. Ollivanders again went to the back of the store to get some wands that it was then Marik noticed the tape measure was moving on its own, measuring the space between his nostrils. It tickled, and Marik felt a sneeze coming on. He tried to hold it back, only to have a weird noise like a cat with a hairball stuck in its throat escape him. Yugi and Bakura sweatdropped while Marik tried to clear his nose, with a slight pink tinge in his cheeks.

Mr. Ollivanders took no notice as he came back with a wand box. "Here, try this one. Oak, eleven inches, with phoenix feather. Very flexible.

Marik did as he was told, and waved it. Getting no action from it, Mr. Ollivanders immediately took it back and slipped another one into the youth's hand say, "Maple, ten inches, with unicorn hair."

Again, he waved it, with nothing happening. Mr. Ollivanders however looked at him. "Hm, maybe you're like Mr. Bakura. I'll be right back."

A minute later, he returned with an old box clutched in his old hands. He opened it up to reveal a gold wand, glittering and beautiful to behold. All three hikaris and yamis gasped at the beautiful sight. Yami Bakura was almost drooling, all the while complaining like, 'Why can't I have something like that' and 'Stupid white gold'

"Pure gold, eleven inches with a feather from some dragon-bird like creature. Also from Egypt, but it does have quite a lot of power."

Marik grasped it and a feeling of great light and strength washed over him. Without wasting another minute, he waved it, and with a whoosh, a shower of Lavender and gold sparks lit the place up again with even brighter lights.

Marik paid and went to sit next to Bakura while Yugi went up. It was then that he noticed a glow coming from within the pocket that he kept his deck in. But before he could do anything about it, the glow stopped.

-Yami, did you see that?-

--See what?--

-That glow-

--What glow?--

Marik frowned. -Never mind-

He felt hesitation swirl against his mind. --Are you sure?--

-Yeah- But unease was still lingering in his stomach. He quickly smashed the feeling though, just waving off the feeling as a piece of his nervousness from the wand choosing. Marik returned his attention to the front of the room, where Yugi was going through the process that he and Bakura went though.

Yugi was having quite a hard time. Sure the wands he was trying wasn't the right one for him, but unlike Bakura and Marik's experience, whenever he waved the wand, something did happen versus nothing at all. The first one he tried knocked the wands off their respective shelves. The second shattered the window and the third caused a few lighting strikes even though there were no dark clouds to be seen.

After the fifth wand, Mr. Ollivanders suddenly rushed out of sight to return a minute later, hold a box with resembled the box that the Millennium Puzzle was held.

"Well, now, three rare wands in one day. Not something you expect everyday," the old man mused. He opened the box. "I think this one will suit you. If not, then I'm at loss."

He held out a red gold wand, with leather wrapped around the bottom as a handle.

Even though he was three feet away, Yugi could feel the wand calling out to him.

"Nine inches, made of rare red gold, and mixed with dragon essence, with an unknown dragon heartstring and a feather from the rare Lunar Egyptian Phoenix. Extremely powerful."

Yugi gripped the wand in his small hand and felt strength, power and courage flow through his very veins. He was dimly aware that Yami Yugi could feel it too. Yugi raised the wand high above his head and brought it down. Several things happened at once.

The store was suddenly filled with sparks of crimson, gold, silver and deep purple. It was bright enough to attract attention from the outside as by passers looked in curiously. Suddenly a glow, like Marik's, came from the pocket that held Yugi's deck and the Millennium Puzzle began to pulse with power.

But it didn't last long. As fast as it came, it vanished and all that was left was sparks from the wand. Marik and Bakura sat there, tense and their own Millennium items glowing. Mr. Ollivanders looked quite surprised but please with the reaction. Yugi looked like he was going to faint. With a flash, Yami Yugi quickly traded places with his hikari, putting the small boy in his bed in his soul room.

Violet-tinted crimson eyes looked up at the man. "I guess it was the right one?"

Silvery-misted eye glittered. "Yes indeed." Yami Yugi paid the amount for the wand. "Goodbye, Mr. Motou," the aged man said quietly as he watched the small youth and his companions leave the store. "A story lies ahead of you."

(White: Argh, getting tire Yugi: Your fault for not updating for so long so now you have to type a long chappie, Kapeesh?! White: Yes sir..)

"What happened back there?!" Yami Bakura, switching places with his hikari, demanded.

"Yeah, that was a weird reaction," Yami Marik commented.

Yami Yugi frowned. "I don't really know."

He cut off from the world for a minute to check up on his hikari. He found the little one sitting up from his bed. --Aibou, are you alright?--

Yugi nodded. -Yeah I'm fine. Yami, what happened back there?-

Yet again, a frown crossed the dark spirit's face. --I don't have a clue, though something about it felt familiar. I also felt it when Marik was trying out his wand.--

Ygui sighed. -Well, I guess there's nothing we can do about it now, huh?-

--Guess not. Do you want to take over, Koibito? Or are you too tired?--

-It's alright Yami, I'm fine.-

Yami Yugi nodded. --If you're sure then ok. I could use a bit of rest.--

-Go take a nap. I'll call you if I need you- Yugi got up from his bed and walked up to his yami, placing a tender kiss on his other's peach lips.

In reality, those almost fully crimson eyes faded back to deep pools of beautiful purple. "Hey, let's go get our robes, then the bookstore," Yugi suggested as he glanced down at his supplies list. "Then we can go get ingredients for Potions and maybe a pet?"

"I agree. Let's get moving!" Marik declared as he took back his body. "C'mon, Bakura, let's get going,Bakura?"

Bakura had that glazed look in his eyes. Marik waved his hand in front of the pale youth's face. Getting no reaction, he began to shake Bakura's shoulders. Suddenly, his eyes became focused and they narrowed at the tanned boy. "Shut up, baka tomb keeper. Don't bother me," Yami Bakura snarled before those harsh eyes softened and the hair seemed to relax. Marik raised an eyebrow.

"Do I wanna know what was going on between you two?" he asked. Bakura just had a sheepish look to him.

Yugi giggled. "Let's go guys. We still have a lot of shopping to do."

Just then, Marik and Bakura's stomach decided to grumble then. Both blushed.

"Um, Yugi-kun, can we find something to eat first?"

Yugi had to stifle his giggles.


With bags full of their needed items and there stomach feeling satisfied, the three youths made their way to Magical Menagerie to pick out a pet. Upon entering the store, they placed their bags in a corner and separated as they looked at the different types of animals. There were rats running in cages on counters and cages upon cages that contained cat of many, maybe even every color you could think of. Owls sat on perches, hooting softly at them, and by the windows in a glass cage, poisonous snails crawled around, leaving behind slimey trails of ooz.

Marik was looking at the cats, considering one in particular. An all gray with silver streaking all over kitten with narrowed emerald eyes stared at him, and he decided to get that lil' cat.

-Isn't he cute, Yami?-

Yami Marik peered out of his hikari's eyes to look at the kitten in Marik's hands. --Hm, very cute.--

Marik cradled the small creature in his arms and went to the counter where a lady stood behind it, watching them.

Bakura had wandered over to where the owls were and gazed at them. Many rounded eyes stared back. Bakura walked down to the end, unitl one stood out in his mind. An average sized owl all white with flecks of gold and rounded blue eyes hooted at him. Bakura smiled.

-Hey Yami, what do you think of this one?-

Silence.

Yami? Bakura looked into his yami's soul room to find his other half asleep with an expression of utter boredom etched onto his face. Bakura frowned. 'Baka Yami'

Bakura quickly focused onto the real world and managed to coax the sweet little owl onto his arm. After that, he went to the counter where Marik was waiting, with a kitten curled up in his arms, purring whenever her master stroked her head.

Yugi walked around for a while, not really know what exactly he wanted. Sighing, he decided not to get a pet, when he got a glimpse of a covered cage in a dark corner. With a curiosity of an innocent, he made his way to the cage. Tentatively, he lifted up the covering only to reveal a magnificent bird, all black with silver and hints of gold feathers covering its toned body. The creature opened its silver and gold eyes to stare back at him. It tilted its head at him, as if observing him. The bird looked intelligent.

Suddenly, Yugi felt warmth coming from his wand and noticed that it was glowing with a silver hue. The coloring looked exactly like the bird's eyes.

-Yami?-

He felt his other stir. --Yes aibou?--

-Look at this-

Yami Yugi Looked out and saw the creature looking at him. It ruffled its feather and began trying to get out. Yugi took step back as it began to bang against the metal bars. The witch behind the counter rushed to where he was.

"I'm so sorry about him. This bird has really gotten out of hand. Every time someone looks at him, he gets mad tries to get out. Once he escaped, and put a man in the Saint Mungo's nearly mutilated."

As the witch tried to calm down the bird, Yami Yugi spoke up.

-Yugi, I think this bird..--

-Hm?-

--This bird is probably the one that supplies that phoenix feather in our wand. That's why the wand was glowing and that bird is responding.--

-Really?-

--Yes, and I'm sure it has no intention of hurting us. It probably wants to come with us.--

Yugi felt a twinge of unease. -Are you sure, mou hitori no boku?-

--Yes--

-Well, if you say so..then-

Yugi went up to the woman, who was starting to get irritated of the black phoenix. "Damn bird, don't know why I even got you in here in the first place"

"Um, excuse me ma'am, but may I see that phoenix, please?"

The witch looked like he grew another head. "Um, I think that wouldn't"

"Please?" Yugi begged and put on his best teary eyes. No one could resist those.

"I-I guess so, but, here, let me get you some gloves"

Yugi shook his head. "No, it's alright."

Bakura and Marik walked over to where Yugi was with their own pets in hand. They watched as Yugi approached the cage that held the struggling bird.

"Shh, don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you" Yugi soothed as he drew closer. The bird stopped thrashing around and gazed at the small boy, crooning softly. Gently, he undid the hook to the cage and held out his arm to the bird. With ease the bird stepped out and onto the boy's arm. Yugi stepped back and carried him back to the others, the witch watching with her mouth open. "I would like to take him. How much?"

The witch stuttered. "Uh, I, um, it's, well let make it 10 galleons. People are to afraid of him anyway."

"Thank you so much," Yugi said and paid the amount. With that done, he set the bird onto his shoulder and picked up his belongings and headed back to the Leaky Cauldron, with Bakura and Marik in tow.


Nighttime came around and Yugi, Marik and Bakura found themselves all gathered in Yugi's room, books scattered everywhere. The three hikaris and Yami Yugi where flipping though the books while Yami Marik and Yami Bakura were dueling each other.

"So Marik, what are you gonna call you kitten?" Bakura asked as he was reading Hogwarts, a History.

Marik shrugged. "Hm, I dunno."

"What about Bast? She is a creature of the goddess," Yami Marik suggested while placing to cards face down.

Marik smiled. "Hm, not a bad name yami." He turned to Bakura. "What about you?"

Bakura thought. "Horus seems nice."

Yami Yugi nodded in agreement as he glanced at the white and gold owl with his head under his wing, asleep.

"Hey guys, look at this," Yugi said and the four squished together over a large book and read:

The Rare Lunar Egyptian is a unique kind of phoenix. Instead of too much sunlight, these powerful creatures prefers to bath in moonlight. It is said that they have the power to heal like and cure illness and is mild tempered. They can carry anything, even if it's more than its own weight. But they also have the wound and hurt, and to control the night. There are few left now and are hardly ever found. When they die, they burst into black flames and are reborn when moonlight hits the remaining ashes. As like any other phoenixes, they are immortal.

"Wow, Yugi-Kun, that's awesome," Bakura breathed.

"Sugoi," Marik quietly said. All four looked up to see the phoenix perched on the back of a chair, gold and silver eyes watching them silently.

Yugi smiled. "Khonsu."

"What?"

Yami Yugi smiled as well. "Well, this is a creature of the night and since Khonsu was the lunar deity, it would be a good name."

Bakura and Marik "ah"-ed as Yami Bakura snarled out in defeat.

Yami Marik smirked as Yami Bakura stomped up to his hikari, seized his arm and left the room, with Horus waking up and flew behind his masters.

Marik chuckled and stood up with his book and cat in arms. "Well, I guess we'll see you two tomorrow morning," he said as he and Yami Marik made their way out of Yugi and Yami Yugi's room.

Yugi yawned, and waved goodnight to the two. Khonsu fluttered to the headboard of the bed, tucked his head under his wings, and fell asleep.

Putting his books away into his trunk, Yugi crawled under the sheets, aware that his yami was sliding under them as well as he felt strong arms wrapped around him. Turning around, Yugi buried his head into his other's chest, sighing in contentment.

-'Night Yami-

Yami Yugi kissed his young hikari's forehead sweetly, stroking the silky spikes of hair. --Sweet dreams Koibito.--


Marik yawned as he and his yami made there way to their room, which was three rooms away from Yugi's.

Yami Marik was carrying the books and cat as he offered to carry them, walking slightly behind his hikari, when suddenly, a door swung open, right in front of Marik, beaning him right in the face. Marik sputtered as he stumbled back, his yami asking him if he was ok.

--Marik, are you alright?--

-Yeah, yeah-

He straighten up and glared at the person, only to bite back a gasp at the figure in front of him.

"Kaiba?!"


White: -Comes In- Where's the asshole!

Yugi: Gone

White: Damn ,well, there you have it, a longer chapter to you to make up for all that time I couldn't update. So hope you enjoy, and remember to review!

Yugi: -Pst- Next time, I'll make sure she'll update soon for all of you!

So Ja Ne!

White: Ja Ne! –Goes and takes a shower- baka tomb robber

Yugi: -Teary eyes- And remember to R&R? thankies!
