AN. Um, good question simpleinsanity. I believe that Sirius told him what he wanted in human form first. Yami and Bakura are not at each other's throats constantly but they stilll don't like each other. And yes the yamis and the hikaris have separate bodies. You'll find out where Ryou is soon enough. Thanks for reviewing!

Yaminakathy, thank you for your support. We're really glad that you like our story.

Heroes united

"He what -- How?" Harry asked bewildered as he stared into the slightly bazaar looking face Yami.
"They had knocked you out Harry, and Yami who had been watching the whole thing intervened." Hermione explained.
"I couldn't let anyone as courageous as you showed yourself to be be carried off could I?" Yami commented a smile flickering at the sides of his mouth.
Harry gave a weak laugh, for some slightly bizarre reason he was immediately attracted to this person.
"Well I think I'll get us some sandwiches, you're probably starving Harry. Yami would you like some?" Hermione asked, standing, and crossing to the other side of the room to the doorway.
"Yes I would like some thank you." Yami replied courteously, smiling widening. Hermione nodded, returning the smile, and left the room. - "So... Were do you come from Yami?" Harry asked over a sandwich about twenty minutes later. This guy had after all appeared out of relatively nowhere, his dress also suggested that he wasn't really from around here.
"Japan." Yami replied simply, digging into his own sandwich.
"Are you a wizard?" Harry continued.
"A wizard? I'm not quiet sure what context you are using." Yami replied looking ever so slightly confused.
So Harry answered in a brief description of wizards in Europe, not noticing when ten minutes later Hermione slipped out of the room looking forlorn.
"In a way, but not really in the same way as you..." Yami decided finally. "Or I was........" he mumbled slightly.
"Well you saved us from the death-eaters." Harry concluded, slightly confused by Yami's reply. "Thank you again." He grinned as he reached for another sandwich. -
"Good morning Hermione." Harry greeted his friend, not noticing how down cast she looked at first. "Are you ok?" he asked grabbing some toast and sitting across from her at the dining room table. It had been a few days since their rescue and he had hardly talked to her at all, in fact he hadn't seen her all yesterday, he had spent the day talking to Yami.
"I'm all right." Hermione gave him a strained smile over her cereal.
"Are you sure? Because you haven't seemed yourself recently...." Harry trailed off, truly feeling worried for her. Her reply was a half mumble and he only caught something like, like you've been around. "What did you say Hermione, I couldn't hear you?"
"I said I'm going out." Hermione replied pushing her bowl and spoon away and getting up.
"Want me to come? I could ask Yami if he wants to come too. In case more death-eaters come, you know." Harry replied standing up as well and pushing his chair back in. Hermione physically flinched at the mention of Yami - what was her problem? - and shook her head.
"No, I would prefer to be by myself." Hermione replied dully and started out, Harry following close behind.
"We shouldn't be by ourselves." Harry contradicted her as she pulled on her cloak, ready to go.
"No!" Hermione practically screamed. "Can't I be by myself for two minutes?" she snapped at Harry who cringed slightly.
"I guess..." Harry trailed off. "Just be really, really, really careful ok Hermione?" he asked worriedly.
"I won't go dancing into the death-eaters grasp if that's what you mean." Hermione stormed. "I can take care of myself you know." She added, sweeping out of the house and slamming the door behind her.
"Will she be ok?" asked a now familiar voice from behind Harry.
"Yeah, she just need time to cool off Yami." Harry replied. Time to cool off from what though, what had he done? Maybe when Ron came back, if he came back before school started, things would work out. Speaking of school, what would Yami do then? He would have to ask Remus. That would have to wait though, Remus and Tonks had gone off on Order business just a few minutes ago.
"If you say so." Yami replied, shrugging. "Could you tell me about a strange creature I ran into in the master bedroom though?"
Harry laughed slightly. "That would be Buckbeak." He replied slightly amused. "He didn't hurt you did he?"
"Of course not," Yami replied ever so haughtily. "I was just wondering what it was doing in this house."
