Nicolas Flamel plus 'Ren and 'Kura
Disclaimer: Don't own nothing but Brian (dat's me fools!)
Yami Kilnorc: Hello everyone, I'm sorry but my hikari, Kilnorc, will not be writing this chapter on account of two reasons, one: he's trying to save Malfoy from a certain dragon, and two: he's recovering from his almost tragic end when the same certain dragon tried to eat him for no apparent reason.
Kilnorc: -sits at a table, covered in dragon saliva and mumbles something-
Yami Kilnorc: -leans over and nods- gotcha, ok he said he deliberity didn't put Malfoy in the last chappy when they were discussing the Millenium Items because he wasn't at Hogwarts at the time, he was at home, therefore they couldn't confront him about it.
Kilnorc: -nods slowly-
Yami Kilnorc: my poor hikari, he's always enjoyed food, now that he knows what its like to be food, well...let's just say he's not hungry anymore. DM, im sorry but your dragon permantly scarred him for life! Q.Q...oh well, im sure i can fix it! don't worry about it and enjoy the chappy. p.s. keep D away from Malfoy, WE NEED HIM ALIVE! anyhoo here we go! -types on computer to update story for his hikari-
After the incident with the Mirror of Erised, everything pretty much went back to normal. Well, except that Bakura seemed to be happier in a sense, probably due to that he saw Niri in the mirror. OR it could be that he kept "borrowing" Harry's Invisibility Cloak to sneak around the castle to treasure hunt...and to train Serenity in the ways of the thievery, using her ninja outfit she recieved for Christmas. Luckily Joey didn't know anything about the King of Thieves teaching his little sister about the Secret Arts, as Bakura called them.
Term started once more and all the students that left the school for the holidays came back and recieved a shock when they saw that the Japanese kids had twins that weren't there when they left. Dumbledore told a tale of late newcomers who came during the break and they would be joining them in the classes. Everyone bought that and welcomed them with open arms...hell, Malfoy seemed to be glad to have someone with a darker side than Marik (you know who i mean MALIK! ahem anyhoo)...
Yugi, Tea, Brian, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in the library doing assorted assignments. Hermione rushed to the table the rest were at with a large thick book in her arms. She slammed it down on the table, barely missing Yugi's hand. "How could I have missed it? I picked this up weeks ago for a bit of light reading," she said sitting down. Ron looked at the huge book "THIS is light?" he asked surprised. Hermione glared at him. "Here, 'Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Sorcerer's Stone'!" she read. "The what!" the boys asked. "Honestly, don't you read at all?" she asked like it something highly rare. "Yeah, but I've cut back since Bakura gave me that version of The Beast," Brian retorted. She looked at him, "What's wrong with that book?" she asked. "Look, you read the version I got, then you'll know. I'll let you borrow it if you want," he said with a grin. "Uh, can we focus here?" Tea interrupted.
Hermione pointed toa spot in the book she had, "Nicolas Flamel, the renowned Alchemist, is the only one in recorded history to have created the Sorcerer's Stone. This Stone has the power to turn any metal into PURE gold, and to create the Elixer of Life, which bestows Immortality," she recited. Yugi looked at it "So this is what's that big dog is protecting?" he asked looking up at Hermione. She nodded "Positive," she said.
Yugi, Harry, Brian and Joey were in the Quidditch locker room preparing themselves for the match. Well, Yugi and Harry were preparing while Brian and Joey imitated lightsaber duels from Star Wars with their Beaters' clubs. Joey pretended to slice off Brian's hand "Luke, I AM YOUR FATHER!" he cried standing above him. "NOOO! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Brian went with the scene. George and Fred were busy pretending to fall off their brooms. Wood came in mad out of his mind at something "Will you guys stop playing around? We need to get ready and FOCUS! Snape's referring the match against Hufflepuff today and we can't have any screw ups!" he told them, his eyes narrowed. This time the twins DID fall off their brooms and their replacements stopped re-enacting the movie. "You serious? Snape, the git who hates all except Slytherin, is referring the match?" George asked him.
"I'm deadly serious, and with him, anything we do would give him reason to have us lose," Wood told them. Harry, Yugi, Joey and Brian met with their friends in the Great Hall for a bite before the match. "Snape's doing referee? Since when has he done thatjob?" Mokuba asked them. Ron looked at Harry "Sorry mate, hey! Pretend to break your leg and then you don't have to play!" he suggested. Bakura, who was standing next to Ron said "You know, I could really break your leg for ya. I wouldn't mind at all," he said smiling. "Kura, don't," Serenity said wrapping her arms around the Thief King. Joey looked pissed "What da hell are ya doing, Serenity!" he yelled. "Oh, that's right...we didn't tell anyone yet. Me and Kura are dating!" she said smiling and hugging her 'boyfriend'. Everyone reacted mostly the same: staring at them both. Hermione and Tea looked and awed at them both, while everyone other person at the table had to restrain Joey from leaping onto Bakura. After about 10 minutes of this, Bakura and Serenity left the hall with an arm wrapped around each other.
Joey was really mad, even when the match started, he couldn't concentrate because everytime he passed the Hufflepuff stands, he saw Bakura and Serenity holding hands or pecking each other on the neck. He spaced out everytime this happened so he got called back and George took his spot. Brian tried to calm him down, but it was like talking to a brick wall. But even with George taking over didn't help them very much because Snape kept giving Hufflepuff penalty shots. "Aw, man, Harry better find da Snitch soon, or I'm gonna go crazy!" Joey whined leaning on his broomstick. As if on cue, Harry swooped past Snape and stopped his broomstick with the little golden ball clenched in his fingertips. "WOOO! GO HARRY!" Yugi yelled holding up his broomstick over his head as he ran out onto the field followed by his teammates. Tea was heading down to the field when he noticed that Marik and Malik were watching as Malfoy and Ron were wrestling on the ground.
God, what NOW? she mentally groaned. She was able to pry them both apart after about a few minutes of pulling on their cloaks. "What's wrong with you two? You shouldn't be fighting, otherwise you'll get in trouble," she said to them. Ron glared at Malfoy "He made fun of me and family," he explained. Tea looked at Marik and Malik "You two didn't stop them, why?" she asked them both. They shrugged "We both enjoy a good fight,and we didn't want to ruin the fun," Malik said grinning widely. "Why do I even bother? C'mon Ron, let's go congradulate the guys," she said letting go of Malfoy, but as she did she saw a glitter of gold around his neck. "What's that?" she asked reaching for it. Malfoy pulled away, "None of your business, woman," he growled and walked off with the identical Egyptians behind. Tea watched as they left, then went with Ron to the pitch to join in the victory celebration.
When the sun went down, Harry and Yugi were putting away their broomsticks into the equipment shed when the spotted someone walking towards the Forbidden Forest. "Who's that?" Yugi asked watching as they went into the forest. "That's Snape, what's he doing going into the Forest?" Harry wondered. "Don't know...should we follow him?" Yugi asked. Harry grabbed their brooms and gaveYugi his. "Yep, c'mon," he said kicking off the ground and heading to the forest. They reached the inside of the forest and found Snape confronting Quirrel. They floated quietly and watched on.
"...d-don't know why you wanted t-t-to meet her of all p-places, Severus...,"
"Oh, I thought we'd keep this private. Students aren't supposed to know about the Sorcerer's Stone after all," Snape said icily. Yugi and Harry stared at one other eyes wide. "Have you figured out how to get past Hagrid's beast yet?" Snape asked. They strained to listen, but Yugi fell off and made a small squeak.
Snape looked around, hearing the squeak and knew they weren't alone "We'll have another little chat soon, then we'll discuss about where your loyalties lie," he said before leaving the forest. Yugi and Harry flew off back to the castle to tell their friends what happened.
-At Dinner-
"Serenity, I said it once, I'll say it again, YOU AREN'T DATIN' BAKURA! Understand?" Joey argued with his sister. "Joey, you can't tell me who to see! I'm seeing 'Kura and I don't care if you have a problem with it!" she stormed off with the Thief King next to her. "Man, why did she hafta go and date THAT guy!" he complained, eating some chicken. Yami looked at him "It's what her heart wants, Joey. You can't keep her from it," he said quietly. Joey just sat quietly and ate his dinner.
Yugi and Harry came in, sat down and told them what they had seen. "So that dog is guarding a Sorcerer's Stone?" Brian asked looking at them. They nodded "Yeah, and Snape's after it. He's scaring Quirrel into telling him how to get past it," Yugi said. "So if Quirrel's the one that knows how, as long as he doesn't tell Snape how to get past, the stone is safe," Tea thought aloud. Ron looked at them "For about a week...," he added.
-With Serenity and Bakura-
"I just wish Joey could understand 'Kura, you know? I mean, you not evil anymore, plus you have an interesting hobby," she told her boyfriend in the corridors that night on their usual training session. "He's just taking this in hard, give him time, and he'll accept it," he assured her, "You know you remind me of someone," he said. She turned and took off the half mask of her ninja outfit, "Really? Who?" she asked walking up to him and wrapping her arms around him. "A girl I used to know, she was a thief too, her dream was to become Medji captain, she succeeded," he said with a small smile on his face.
"After she helped you survive the beheading by binding your soul to the Millenium Ring," she told him. Bakura stared at her "How did you know that? Have you been talking to Ryou?" he asked. She shook her head, "Yugi and the others aren't the only ones with past lives, master," she said winking. Bakura just stared at her more "Niri?" he asked. She nodded and tears formed in her eyes, "I still feel where you branded me," she said quietly.
Bakura didn't know what to say, the mutt's sister, Serenity Wheeler, was the reincarnation of the former captain Medji, Niri. He hugged her tightly and kissed her. They kissed for a good few minutes until they broke apart and took in some breaths. "Wow, you haven't lost your touch Niri," Bakura said grinning. She shrugged "I remember what I can, cmon, lets go see what else I remember," she said smiling before donning her half mask. Bakura grinned and walked down the corridors with his lover behind him.
