Dragon: lol don't worry everybody, I promise more characters will show up soon. I just needed to get things out between the main characters first. But never fear one of my other favorite charries will bless us with his presence in this chapter!
Also, Atemu's job has been picked but I'm still deciding on Seto and Yugi, so please leave your suggestions in the reviews! Thanks!
The days flew by for Harry as he got accustom to living in the Kaiba Manor. And for the first time he was at peace. He no longer had to live in a small bedroom, his clothes were not hand-me-downs, and he could come and go as he pleased. Well as long as he stayed on the grounds that was. Atemu made it clear that he wasn't to leave the property unless either the spirit, Kaiba or Yugi, accompanied him. Which was ok by him since he didn't relish the fact of being caught be deatheaters and their monsters again alone.
Yugi constantly questioned him about the magic he could perform and gladly showed him what he knew once Atemu assured him that the Ministry could not detect him. They seemed fascinated that it took a wand to use magic, for none of them needed a wand to do what they did.
Harry became fast friends with the trio as he learned their different personalities.
Yugi was a bubbly person, always full of energy and happiness. He truly cared for all those around him and took it to heart if one of them was hurting or upset. And despite his age of twenty-two, he acted more Harry's age, which suit him fine.
Atemu was an easygoing person unless someone angered him or hurt his family. Harry could easily see that he had been a Pharaoh, for he held himself in a regal type manner and spoke with a voice of authority. But his heart was pure gold if he trusted you. His stern face would easily soften when it came to either Yugi or Seto. And Harry even started to see it soften towards him, which he was glad for. Even though he knew deep down that the spirit would not harm him, his cold blood red eyes sent shivers down his spine several times.
Seto was the most complicated out of all three of them. His blue eyes held an icy look that would only soften around Atemu. And even though he was civil with Yugi and Harry, they both knew that they would never be able to get that warmer look that the Pharaoh got. Yugi had explained to him the bond that Seto and Atemu held as they were lovers and cousins in their past lives and once Seto had gained his memories of that life he reclaimed the Pharaoh's heart. Something in Harry told him that Kaiba was a good man but would never choose to show it to anyone other that his husband.
He slowly learned what kind of power these three possessed and was simply amazed by all they could do and what they had done. Everyday he was told of another event that had led them to be what they are. Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, Doom Organization, and more were told to him. And for the first time he saw that other people had it just as bad if not worse than he did. Harry just had one person after him, but these three had countless people after their items and power. When they destroyed one, another would take its place. Now he understood why they looked at this new situation with no fear.
Monsters were now another part of his new life, for living with the Master of Shadows meant that there were always several around the house or grounds. He learned that if he over slept too long a hyperactive Kuribo bouncing on his chest would wake him up. Mahaado was a constant part of their household, appearing at some of the oddest times to inform them of anything strange going on in the Shadow Realm or just to hang out.
And even though he was in a strange country, in a strange house, with even stranger things going on inside it, he was truly happy. For once he was glad that those deatheaters had chosen that day to attack him. And for once he really wasn't looking forward to going back to Hogwarts.
Harry sat at the kitchen table surrounded by his guardians eating breakfast. Today was Friday and at sundown tonight Atemu was going to take him back to England to get his stuff. He was dreading it but it was necessary but at least he wouldn't be going alone. Seto was going to go but Atemu asked him to stay behind in case there were other problems that he would be needed for since the spirit wouldn't be able to fight any battles will they were at Harry's and meeting Dumbledore.
"Seto, when is Mokuba coming back? It should be soon right?" Yugi asked as he reached for his drink.
"Next week he should be back from camp. He'll be glad to meet Harry, he'll finally have some one around his age here."
Harry smiled; he had heard all about the CEO's younger brother and was also looking forward to meeting him.
They all fell silent again, as usual, until Atemu started chuckling.
Seto cocked an eyebrow at him, "Koi?"
"Certain security measures have been breached."
Harry was about to voice his concern when they suddenly heard screaming coming from outside.
"PHARAOH CALL YOUR FUR BALLS OFF!!"
"What did you do?" Seto asked as if he was asking a child what they did wrong.
"Two words: kuribo and multiply" he said as he stood up and walked towards the back of the house.
Seto groaned, Yugi giggled and Harry was staring, confused.
"Come on lets go see what's happening to Bakura."
Harry soon found himself outside on the back porch watching about fifty brown balls of fur chasing a man with white hair who was yelling at the top of his lungs.
"I SWEAR TO RA IF YOU DON'T CALL THEM OFF I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Harry gulped at the threat but the others seemed to be unfazed by it. In fact, Yugi was still giggling, Seto was even chuckling and Atemu was trying to hold himself together for laughing so hard.
The white haired man soon tripped and was 'attacked' by the kuribo, each of them taking their turns bouncing on him. Harry felt slightly sorry for him seeing as he knew how it felt to have just one do that to him.
Atemu noticed the shift in power and saw Bakura was aiming a good-sized amount of shadow energy at his monsters.
"TOMB ROBBER IF YOU HARM ONE PIECE OF FUR ON THEIR BODIES I WILL PERSONALLY SEND YOU BACK TO THE SHADOW REALM!"
"THEN CALL THEM OFF NOW!"
The Pharaoh wiped a stray tear from his eye and snapped his fingers. Soon only one kuribo was left bouncing on Bakura's stomach and when it realized that it was now alone and facing as rather pissed Bakura it "eeped" and raced back to hide behind Atemu, who dismissed it back to it's home.
Bakura got up and brushed himself off before he walked towards them. Harry could see the evil gleam in his brown eyes before he was ever standing in front of them. Cold look caused Harry to flinch. This person was just as affective in the death stare department. But it seemed that none of the others were affected by it.
"Pharaoh what the hell was that about?" The Tomb Robber asked looking at the others standing there, then his gazed caught Harry's, "Damn!"
"Don't worry about it Bakura, Harry knows." Atemu said as he turned to face them. "Bakura this is Harry, Harry this is Bakura, he's the other spirit we told you about."
"Hi."
"Hn." Bakura said as he studied him. Once his examination was over he turned back to Atemu. "So what's his story? I assume he has one or he wouldn't be here."
"I found him with those people we've been battling. They seem to have taken an interest in him. And there's another group that wants him also."
"So now he's under your protection. Great, just what we need, another mortal to defend. You're getting soft Pharaoh."
Atemu chose to ignore him and as his own question. "What brings you here?"
Bakura looked back at the others, "I need to talk to you alone."
Seto growled, "You can say in front of us, it's not like we don't know what's going on."
"This is between me and the Pharaoh, Priest."
"Seto, why don't you all go back inside and finish eating I'll be back in soon."
"Fine, come on."
Atemu watched as they filed back in the house before he took at seat in one of the many chairs lining the porch. "So what's going on that you could talk in front of them about?"
Bakura also took a seat beside him, "I think I found out what our problem is, well at least what part of it is."
"And?"
"Last night I was returning from another battle through the shadow realm and I stumbled upon another portal. I could literally feel the energy pulling from me when I got close to it."
"So some one is draining us? It would explain why we are so tired after using our powers. How bad is it?"
"Not bad yet, it's still pretty small. Whoever's doing it is still not strong enough to enhance it. So I don't think we have anything to be concerned about at this moment."
Atemu nodded his head, "That some one would be called Lord Voldemort. He's also the one that is most likely behind swaying the monsters."
Bakura looked shocked, "And how do you know this?
"Harry, he told us about it last night. This Voldemort is also interested in him, and has been trying to kill him for some time now. According to him, he's been a terror to the wizarding world for some time now."
"Huh? Wizards?"
Atemu sighed, "Harry is a wizard, they use modern magic and wands. It's really pretty weak compared to ours, so I'm betting that's why he wants it so bad."
"So that's what those sticks are for, humph, bakas. So are you going to tell them about this?"
"No, there is no need to worry Seto or Yugi about it, after all it's just making me sleepy for now. But I'll leave up to you to keep an eye on it. Just let me know if anything changes."
"Alright, are you back now?"
"I'll tell Mahaado to come and get me starting tomorrow. I have too much to do tonight. I have to take Harry back to his home to get his stuff and then I have to meet with Dumbledore about Harry and why he wanted him so bad. Say, would you like to stay and go with us? I could us your help if things go weird while were there."
Bakura shrugged his shoulders as they both got up to walk back in the house. "Why not? It could be fun, plus I'd like to hear what has to be said too."
"Are you sure it's ok to leave them two alone?" Harry asked as he sat back down at the table.
Yugi smiled at him, "Don't let their words fool you. It won't seem like it to you but those two are best friends. Bakura is a good person at heart..."
Seto snorted and Yugi glared at him.
"...but he will not show any emotion in front of the rest of us. Only Atemu sees that side of him. So if he says anything rude to you don't take any offence to it. He still thinks he has an image to maintain."
"So why did he call him tomb robber?"
"Back in ancient Egypt Bakura was a master tomb robber, he would raid and pilfer any that belonged to Priests and Pharaohs. At one time he raided and desecrated Atemu's father's tomb. This lead to an all out battle that soon unleashed Zork.
"Once that was over, and the sealing of the shadow realm happened, Bakura also got trapped in the Sennen Ring. My friend Ryou, Bakura's reincarnate, received the ring and released him. Bakura went on a quest to get the Items again but of course he failed."
Yugi sighed and Seto took over the story.
"After Atemu and me got our memories back, Atemu destroyed most of the evil inside his soul and heart. He believe that somewhere deep down was a good person, much like he believe that I was worth saving too. Eventually it led to a very tight friendship between them too, because they understand each other and come form the same time period. Atemu convinced the Shadows to grant him a body also so basically Bakura owes my husband a great deal. But he would never ask Bakura of anything, that's just the way he is."
"Oh, wow, you all have a very complicated history huh?"
"You could say that." Atemu said as Bakura and him reentered the kitchen. "Seto, Bakura is stay with us for the day then going with me and Harry back to England."
He nodded his head, "Good, at least you won't be alone."
"Now why don't we teach Harry here how to play duel monsters while we wait for sundown?"
Dragon: Next chapter Atemu meets the Dursley's and Dumbledore! If there is anything you'd like to see happen to them just put it in the reviews, I might not be able to do it but I'd love to see your ideas for some good humor!
