Chapter 5

Dark removed the Hat from his head and set it down on the stool. He noticed the silence in the hall but paid it no mind. The mage silently made his way to the Gryffindor table; he sat down in an empty seat.

Moments later Albus Dumbledore stood up again, "Now that all lose ends are tied up and put where they belong, I have some announcements to make. First of all I would like you to welcome back Professor Lupin to the Defense Against the Dark Arts Job."

A loud cheer rose from three of the four houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. After last year's teacher everyone in the aforementioned houses was so glad to have a competent teacher again. The fact that Lupin was a werewolf did not faze them one bit.

Harry shot a glance at the Slytherin table and noticed that the majority of the Slytherin's were sulking. The only exceptions were the first-years and the late starter; they were confused at the animosity shown by their housemates to the teacher.

Professor Dumbledore waited for the applause to die down before speaking again, "Ahem, yes. To all First Years I would like to say that the Forbidden Forest is strictly forbidden. I believe a few of the older students need reminding of that fact as well." He shoots an amused glance at Harry, Ron, and Hermione before continuing, "Well I believe that is all the news for tonight so I have only a few words to say... Bibiddy, Bobiddy, Buu!"

A few of the first years blinked at the totally irrelevant words before their attention was captivated by the magically filled plates of food before them. Anything that one would ever want could be found on those plates. Chicken, Turkey, Goose, Pork, Beef, varying types of potatoes, fruits, vegetables….well you get the idea, ne?

Well anyways the feast passed by pretty fast, there was no shortage of food; as soon as a plate was emptied it was instantly refilled. Harry overheard Hermione telling a young first-year that the house elves were the ones that filled the plates. He sighed as she started to rant on and on about the unfair conditions that the house elves work under; and judging by the look on the first-year's face…SPEW gained another convert.

Meanwhile, at the Slytherin table Ryou was being interrogated about his family's magical history. By now most of the older students had stopped, leaving the torture up to the first and second years. The white-haired boy just sighed and stared at his plate; absently poking at a lone carrot.

Those trying to get an answer out of Ryou suddenly noticed that he showed no sign of knowing they were talking to him. One Second year girl even waved her hand in front of his face, but got no response; Ryou just kept staring at the carrot as if all of the answers to life's mysteries were held within the small orange vegetable.

In reality, this was not the case. Currently Ryou resided with his Soul Room, staring out the open door and into the Soul Corridor; Staring at the door to his Yami's soul room. The door was quite plain really, just a simple wooden door with the Eye of Horus carved into the wood. But Ryou knew that if one looked closely, you would be able to see the small dark stains that littered the dark brown wood; stains that looked suspiciously like dried blood.

Ryou sighed and allowed his chocolate brown eyes to roam around his own soul room. It was, in essence, a reflection of his own soul. Plain white walls splashed here and there with black, a small bed with white sheets and black pillows were the two most noticeable things.

When one looked a little bit longer they began to notice the other things in the room. Along one wall was a mini Table Top RPG. Set inside was an exact replica of ancient Egypt, an exact copy of the place that they had all seen in the Pharaoh's Memory. Set on the edges was the character that Ryou was most fond of playing as, the White Mage. But that figurine was not the only one residing there; beside it was a replica of the Thief King, Ba-Kuh-Ra.

Ryou didn't know why he kept that figurine, it was given to him by his darker half a long time ago; just after the Pharaoh's Memory had finished. Ryou himself had no recollection of the Memory. Apparently some evil entity named Zork had thrown him into the shadow realm and took over Bakura; of course, this was what Yugi told him later on.

Ryou gaze left the T.R.P.G and landed next on a small cabinet. This one was also filled with figurines, but they were just replicas of people he had known. Standing in a line in front of all the others were the four figurines that had once held his friends' souls during the beginning of Bakura's and Yami's rivalry. His gaze fell on one after another; Honda's Magic Gunman, Anzu's Mage, Jounouchi's Warrior, and Yugi's Beast Tamer (I think?). Behind Yugi stood one that had not been used in the game…Yami's…It was crafted by Ryou's memory and placed in his Soul Room.

Ryou once again began to slip into memory when he felt a shaking. He looked around quizzically before rising from his seated position on the bed. He walked into the Soul Corridor and returned to his body.

Ryou returned to awareness to find that the Great Hall was emptying. Apparently the shaking he had felt was someone trying to get his attention.

"Finally…I thought you had gone comatose or something."

Ryou looked up to see Malfoy standing over him. The white-haired teen mutters, "Sorry…I was thinking…"

Malfoy sneers slightly, "Well don't make a habit of it. I won't always stay behind to wait for you. Next time you'll be locked out of the Common Room."

Ryou merely nods and follows the Slytherin Prefect out of the Hall.

Yugi paced back and forth in his room, waiting for Yami to return from the Shadow Realm. As if on que the spirit slowly faded into existence next to his hikari. Yugi looked at Yami worriedly, "Do they have any news?"

The Pharaoh shook his head, "No. Nothing at All. Not even Mana knows where he is."

Yugi sighs, "He would have told Mana where he was going…right?"

Yami nods, "Yes…If he had any intention of leaving."

The hikari's amethyst eyes stare into Yami's ruby ones, "Could he not have had a choice? Maybe one of the other Sennen Item Holders summoned him?"

Yami shook his head again, "No. Mahaado is only under obligation to follow my summons. No others can, just like I can't summon the Blue-Eyes. They respond to Kaiba alone."

Yugi nods, "I understand…I'm just worried…If he's not in the shadow realm then where is he?"

The spirit said nothing and began to pace along with Yugi, "It is possible for him to get out of the Realm. There are rouge portals…"

"Really?"

"Yes. They are very rare as well as short-lived. It is very unlikely."

"But we've had the other monsters search the Realm for months now. We have to takeimprobabilities into account."

Yami closed his eyes wearily, "I know Aibou…I know."

A/N: Heh…sorry for taking so long…I kinda had to deal with…:cough: Some emotional problems before I could write again. But they are all taken care of now n.n thank my Reviser person for that. My Reviser ish a friend from school who is currently going through my story and catching any errors neither I nor my Beta Reader had caught. And Boy …there are a lot e.e

Anyways…Not much Mahaado in this chapter…Lots of Ryou though n.n
