~.~.~.~

Nami looked over to Malik, his eyes were burning with rage and an instant hatred. This pale boy referred to them all as ladies, Nami took her first good look at Malik, and she supposed she could see where he got that. Malik had beautiful blonde hair that shone in the sun, he had intense violet eyes, and he was wearing a light purple shirt and gold jewellery, which included armbands, a necklace and little gold earrings. He did look a little feminine, but just a little. Next she turned to Ryou, his huge chocolate brown eyes, porcelain like skin and white hair didn't make him very masculine either. Yugi looked like a child, which could be attributed to his height and his large violet innocent eyes. Nami did not like this strange boy who insulted her new friends at all.

Malik closed his eyes, 'Remain calm,' he told himself, 'do not let this baka get to you, it is not worth losing control over.' Malik slowly opened his eyes, the hatred still burning but a little more under control. Malik went to open his mouth but was beaten by someone else.

"Isn't time for your hair appointment? I think I can see your roots, might want to stay on top of that, you're boyfriend might not like it."

Nami turned to Ryou in shock, that did not sound like the Ryou she and Kaya had just met, he sounded cruel and his warm chocolate eyes were not warm at all, they were cold and mean.

The sneer on the boys face quickly disappeared, and his eyes glinted with malice. "How dare you! Do you know who I am?" he shot the group the most evil look he could muster.

"Oh look Malik," Bakura said to his friend with a mocking tone, "he's trying to give us an evil look, isn't that cute."

Malik smiled back, and replied in the same tone of voice, "Its adorable, and look he's almost there, with a little more practice maybe he'll stop looking like he swallowed a toad and may be on the path to becoming intimidating to a two year old."

At this point Yami decided he should grace the scene with his presence, these two could go a little over board and he might have to jump in and stop them.

Bakura and Malik turned back to the boy, "And no we don't know who you are, do you know who we are? I suppose not, or else you would have ran away by now."

/Kaya, that is so not like Ryou, it's like he just went through a complete personality switch!/

//He was so quiet before and reserved, shy! This definitely is different,// Kaya mused from her soul room. //Look at those two go, they feed off each other's energy, they're enjoying this!//

The boy had stopped sneering, he'd never seen such cheek in his life, no one had stood up to him like this before, except Potter, but he didn't know what was good for him.

"My father is very high up in the Ministry, you might want to be careful," he shot back, still in shock at the attitude they were throwing at him.

Yami noticed Malik's hand heading for his pocket, and knowing where this would end, he decided it was time for him to step in. "That is enough," he turned to the boy, "I would suggest you leave, I cannot control my friends for very long."

He sneered again, "You're lucky I have some place to be," he began to walk away and called back over his shoulder, "but this is not the last time you have heard from Draco Malfoy, you will pay for this!" As he went to push his way past Nami, his sneer grew as he passed her, and he shoved her violently out of his way causing her to fall to the ground, her owl's cage clattering on the cobblestone.

....

Ryou regained control of his body from Bakura and quickly walked over to Nami, he offered her his hand and helped pull her to her feet. "Are you alright?"

Nami rubbed her bottom, "That hurt, but yes I'm fine," she picked up her owl's cage trying to sooth the distressed owl. "There, there, its alright."

While Nami and Ryou tried to calm the bird, Malik turned on Yami, "What did you do that for?" he demanded.

Yami gave Malik one of his 'I-am-above-you' looks and rolled his eyes, "I saw you," he checked to make sure Nami wasn't listening, "I saw you reach for the rod, we can't just run around flashing the millennium items and using them out in the open. How would we explain it if you banished Draco Malfie, or whatever his name was, to the shadow realm?"

Malik shot Yami an evil look, that made Malfoy's look like nothing at all, "You're too uptight Pharaoh, you should learn to relax, I wasn't gonna hurt him too badly," Malik gave him another glare and left Yami to join Nami and Ryou.

//Aibou, this is going to be a very long year!//

....

Harry stood over his bed at the Leaky Cauldron and looked at his supply list from Hogwarts. Of course he needed new books, but he also required some new potions ingredients and some strange things for Divination. Harry groaned when he noticed he would need his dress robes again, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard Ron groan, having read the same thing.

"At least I have new dress robes," he muttered, "though I don't know why Fred and George gave them to me. I'm not sure if I trust them," he added eyeing the clothes like they had teeth hidden within the fabric and might bite him.

Harry knew why but didn't share this information, "I'm sure they were just trying to be nice," he tried to reassure his friend, but he couldn't blame Ron for not trusting them. It was Fred and George!

Speaking of the devils themselves, Fred and George popped their heads into Ron and Harry's shared room.

"Mom wants you two downstairs," Fred started.

"We're going to get our stuff now," George finished for Fred and the dynamic duo bounded out the door and down the stairs.

Once downstairs, Ron, Harry, Fred and George were joined by Ginny, Hermione and Mrs Weasley. They all followed Mrs Weasley into the courtyard, like chicks following the mother hen. When all were in the little opening Mrs Weasley turned on them, hands placed firmly on her hips.

"Alright," she started, "this is what we're going to do, listen carefully. First we all will go to Gringotts, then if you leave me your book lists I will get all of them at once, and you can gather the rest of your things." She appeared to go over a list in her head, "Right, Fred, George, if I find out you two were in Knockturn Alley I'll skin you alive, understand?" her tone clearly indicated she was not kidding. "And we'll all meet back here in two hours."

Everyone nodded their agreement, although Fred and George somewhat reluctantly, and Mrs Weasley opened Diagon Alley. Just as the Weasley clan walked through the open archway four very strange teens walked through it as well, into the Leaky Cauldron, their arms laden with packages from an obviously fruitful outing.

Ron raised his eyebrows and nudged Harry and Hermione, nodding his head towards the strange quartet, "Strange bunch," he muttered, watching them disappear into the inn from the corner of his eye.

..

Malik, Yugi and Ryou sat in the latter two's room, Yugi and Ryou sitting on the bed, and Malik looking out the window. Still with his back to the others Malik pulled out his deck and turned around.

"Care for a duel?" he asked.

Instantly Yami was I control of little Yugi, "Yes," he cried out, trying not to sound over enthusiastic but failing miserably, "I suppose we could have a few duels," he finished with a little more control in his voice.

In another second Bakura was out and pulling out his deck and duel disk, "Don't sound too eager there Pharaoh," he shot out a smile on his face.

Yami shot Bakura a look that could kill, "You are just as eager, Tomb Raider." Yami looked at Bakura's duel disk, "We can't use that you baka."

Bakura and Malik both snapped their heads up, "And why not? And if anyone is a baka it would be you," Bakura snapped in anger.

Yami let the insult roll of his back, "If we use the duel disks we will draw unneeded attention to us. Duel Monsters isn't very large in England, at least not as huge as it is in Japan, and this technology is probably very advanced, at least more advanced then these people are used to. Especially if I they don't even have electricity."

Malik put back his duel disk, "A much as I hate to side with the Pharaoh, he has a point," disappointment spread across his face.

"What about the Shadow Realm?" Bakura put in hopefully.

Yami looked as though he wanted to hit his head off a wall repeatedly, //Abiou! Do you hear this!? I am surrounded by bakas! Oh Ra give me strength,// he fumed in his head.

Yami cradled his head in his hands, "If technology is too much, how are we going to explain Shadow Magic! Dumbledore never once mentioned the items, Shadow Magic has been gone for millennia, and again we would be drawing unwanted attention to ourselves."

"Keep your shirt on Pharaoh," Bakura snarled as he too put back his duel disk, "the good old fashioned way then."

Malik smiled, "You can duel the Pharaoh first Tomb Raider," he stated as he sunk into a comfy chair, "I'll duel him when he kicks your sorry ass."

Bakura smirked at Malik, "We'll see."

Malik nearly laughed out loud, "You wont beat the Pharaoh, not with your deck, mine on the other hand, stands a chance."

"I'll wipe the floor with both of you," Yami put in with an all-knowing smirk.

..

Nami sat in her room by herself thinking about what had happened earlier that day.

/Kaya, what do you think that boy meant by the Ministry?/

Kaya materialized beside Nami as a spirit, it hadn't taken them long to figure out that they could do that, it did, however, take them awhile to figure out that no one else could see Kaya, awhile and what they thought of as a very close call. Once while Kaya stood in front of Nami's bed, Nathaniel walked in, startling both of the girls, luckily he didn't see Kaya, or they would have had some complicated explaining to do.

Kaya shrugged, //Who knows, but I have a feeling that we will see him again, and a good thing too! No one pushes me over and gets to walk away!//

Nami snorted, /And what are you going to do? Walk around until you find him and then what? Walk through him?/

Kaya merely glared at that.

/What about Ryou, that was way weird, I mean he did a complete personality 360! One minute he was nice, quiet and kind, and then he and Malik...it was just so...unnatural./

//It was, I don't know what to think of it. Maybe he just had all kinds of stuff built up from over the years and Malfoy was the poor sucker that began to feel his wrath. Maybe he tried to be nice and that how he really is...who knows.//

/Maybe he's possessed by some kind of demon and it came out to protect him,/ Nami added jokingly.

Kaya chuckled, and returned to Nami's necklace, //Lets go, its almost dinner! Hmm, you seem tired,// Kaya mused, //maybe you should take a rest and let me go to dinner...//

Nami smiled, /Well now that you mention it, I think I could use a little rest, besides I have a book I want to finish./

With a slight glow from the necklace, which lay under Nami's clothes, away from prying eyes, Nami and Kaya switched places, and Kaya skipped down to dinner.

..

Yami and Bakura were still on the bed nearly forty-five minutes later, it was a close duel, but Yami was in the lead by a lot, however, Bakura refused to go out without a fight.

Bakura had to admit, the Pharaoh wasn't the King of Games for nothing, he was good, even without the god cards, which he had removed from his deck for this duel. But Bakura wasn't done just yet, he drew a card, and smiled, Change of Heart, this would come in handy, his hikari's favourite.

Malik came over and looked closer at the duel, "Bakura, you're going to lose."

"You're not helping," Bakura snarled back, examining his hand again.

Malik smiled and left the room for a bathroom break, when he returned Bakura's situation had gone from bad to worse, Yami was about to finish him off, and didn't hesitate to do so.

"You lose Tomb Raider," the Pharaoh stated happily, "Ready Malik?"

Suddenly Malik's stomach made a grumbling noise, "After dinner?"

Yami nodded in agreement, giving control back to Yugi. Ryou joined the group, and the three boys left for dinner, their decks tucked safely in their pockets.
