Dragon: I've had lots of requests for more pairings. I haven't really thought about it. So if you would like to see some more please put in the reviews who should be paired with who. I got a few for Yugi/Harry but Yugi's like 22 and Harry's 16 so I don't think that would work lol that's robbing the cradle in my book. I also got some for Mokuba/Harry but Mokuba is not going to Hogwarts so I'm not sure that would work either. But if you want any others just tell me and I'll start a poll. It's going to be several more chapters before they ever get to school so take your time in deciding.
Also it seems I got several requests for the same thing to happen to the Durlsey's so I've added in here. I hope you all enjoy!
Placing his feet on solid cement, Harry sighed. He was thankful that he was out of the Shadow Realm. It was his first time there and he hoped to never have to see it again, even thought he knew he would have to. All he saw was inky black and purple swirls at every angle. The coldness snapped at him and drove him to shiver inwardly. For it was not an outward icy feeling but one that reached deep inside him.
Bakura had one monster accompanying him that all but freaked Harry out. One side of it looked like a beautiful angel while the other side looked like a demon from storybooks.
Mahaado walked beside Atemu and him though the Realm. He had asked why the needed monsters with them, and it was politely explained that some of the monsters had no masters and therefore were 'wild' and tended to attack any human souls that ventured into there home. So they were there to make sure no harm came to Harry since Bakura and Atemu had free reign in the Realm.
But now he was glad to be on his own turf.
"Bakura, stay here and wait for us. Dumbledore should meet us here and if your waiting on him you can keep him company incase we get held up." Atemu said with a slightly evil gleam in his eyes.
The tomb robber nodded his head and wore a smirk on his face. He knew what Atemu wanted and he was more than happy to oblige.
"Alright Harry lead the way."
It wasn't long before he found himself standing in front of the modest house on Privet Drive. Just a week ago he had felt as if this house was better than most, relatively big for the people that lived there, even if he did loathed it. But now he felt as if it was nothing more than a dump that housed even more trash inside. Before he had no where else to go, but now he had a mansion he called home in Japan with three people that in such a short time he considered his friends.
And now one of those friends was standing beside him with a hand on his shoulder as if he understood the emotions running through his mind, and sought to comfort him. Then again knowing Atemu he probably did know what was going though his mind. Funny how that same ability could be such a pain at times and welcoming relief in others. Guess the old saying was right; you have to take the good with the bad.
He turned and looked up at the man beside him and saw a warm, inviting hue in those deadly looking eyes and the same emotion in the smile that he adorned. And gratefully he returned it.
Steeling his emotions he reached up and pushed the tiny, but taunting button.
Harry stood there stiff as a board as the rust colored door opened in front of him to reveal his portly sized uncle. Vernon Dursley went from a look of indifference to shock then to anger in a matter of moments.
"What in bloody hell are you doing here boy?"
Atemu growled low in his throat upon hearing the tone in this mortal's voice. In the short time that he had come to know Harry he was very fond of him and considered him a valued friend and with that came the over whelming need to protect and defend. So this person's response to his own flesh and blood triggered these emotions in the spirit. This person was about to realize just whom he was dealing with.
The Pharaoh gently squeezed Harry's shoulder to let him know that he did not have to respond.
"We are here to collect Harry's things, fool."
For the first time Uncle Vernon looked at the person standing there with his nephew. His face flushed from red to deep purple in a matter of seconds as he heard that mocking word. There in front of him was a rather short man with the most obscene hairstyle and dressed in nothing but black leather. But when he looked into those eyes his breath caught in his throat. This person's eyes were the color of freshly drawn blood and seemed to glow on their own.
To him it was as Harry had brought home the devil himself.
And right now he wasn't far from the truth.
When the man didn't say anything Atemu continued. "Now will you let us in or shall I make you move?"
Harry would have flinched at the tone of the spirit's voice if it weren't so amusing to see his uncle so pissed and shaken at the same time.
"I will not let any of your kind in my house!" Vernon said as he slammed the door in their faces.
Harry gulped and looked at Atemu, he knew the spirit's temper and he could just imagine what was going to happen now. Not that he really minded…
"What did he mean by your kind?"
"Wizards, magic, things like that. He's totally against it."
"Ah," he said as a smirk formed on his face, his eyes flashed with a certain insane gleam. "Then why don't I give him a taste of the thing he loathes so much?"
With a delightful grin, Harry nodded his head. Oh this was going to be fun!
Atemu raised his hand, palm out, and send a blast of shadow magic towards the door, thus blowing it from its hinges. Smirk still on his lips, he led Harry into the house to come face to face with a very upset uncle.
"Care to reconsider your words?"
A gasp could be heard as Harry's Aunt came from their kitchen and saw what happened to the door, and behind her Dudley stood stiff as a board with his mouth hanging open.
At the sight of them Harry could do nothing but chuckle.
"Petunia, go get the gun."
Harry paled as he watched his aunt take off to go retrieve the item. He couldn't believe that his uncle would really shoot them. But then again his uncle was never really sane. He glanced up at Atemu to see his reaction to what his uncle had said and what he saw sent shivers down his spine.
The spirit's eyes were glowing and that smirk had turned into a feral grin. He was almost expecting horns to be sprouting out the top of his head.
Deep, rich, insane laughter sounded through out the house before he spoke. "Harry, go gather your things, just pile them in the center of your room. Once done call for Mahaado, he'll be waiting to transport it back to the Manson."
Harry nodded his head and took off up the stairs. As much as he wanted to hang around and see what Atemu did to them he wasn't about to protest when the pharaoh was in this state of mind.
Atemu watched out of the corner of his eye as Harry bounded up the stairs, keeping his full attention on the women that had just entered back in the room with the shotgun. His eyes flashed dangerously as the man took it from his wife and aimed it at him.
"Do you honestly think that piece of metal will harm me?" he said as the Eye began to glow on his forehead. With a snap of his fingers, the Shadows sprang forth from the nearest wall and wrapped around the barrel yanking it out of Vernon's hands. In the blink of an eye it and the shadows disappeared.
Vernon starred at his now empty hands before he looked back up at the devil that had entered his home. "What are you?"
Another chilling chuckle, "Doesn't matter, but I do have a few friends I would just love for you to meet. I do hope you make them welcome unlike you made us."
On cue five Kuribos of different colors appeared in the living room, hovering just inches from the Dursley's.
"Kuribo brothers meet the Dursley's, Dursley's meet the brothers."
At that the humans paled. The five colored fur balls floated there for a few seconds before they attacked sending them running through the house.
Atemu pulled out his deck and casually shuffled through it as he heard small explosions coming from various parts of the house. "Oops, guess I forgot to tell them not to explode on impact. Oh well." Still looking through his deck, as if bored, he settled down on the bottom steps and watched the humans and kuribos run rampant. It really was amusing especially when he heard the unmistakable sound of china and glass exploding along with a few screams. Bakura would be proud.
Petunia screamed as blue kuribo followed her into walk-in pantry blocking her from escaping. In a panic she coward in the corner near the bags of flour and sugar. The blue brother squealed in delight as he charged at her. Quickly, Mrs. Dursley tried to dodge out of the way as the fur ball explode on impact sending white power everywhere.
Uncle Vernon's luck wasn't any better. As he ran into the backyard, two kuribos followed him. He ran into the shed and quickly closed the door only to have it explode in his face as the brothers flew right into it. As he stood there with everything raining down on him he glanced over and saw his neighbors looking at him with confused looks on their faces.
"Umm nothing to be concerned about, the gas can exploded is all. Nothing out of the ordinary I assure you!"
Atemu felt the familiar pull of the realm as it opened up and looked up the stairs to see Harry coming his way. "I take it Mahaado just showed up?"
"Yeah, he says Dumbledore is with Bakura and we should get back before he kills him."
Atemu chuckled and patted the space beside him, "We'll wait a little, besides I think you'll find this amusing."
As soon as he sat down his cousin came running into the room screaming and crying his head off. Blinking he tried to figure out why then he saw it as he turned around. A pink Kuribo firmly had his fangs latched on his cousin's rear end. He blinked one more time before he fell into a fit of laughter. "Oh man I wished I had a camera!"
"Here you go."
Harry looked up at Atemu and saw exactly what he wished for in the palm of his hand.
"How?"
With a grin he replied, "Magic, how else?"
Bakura smirked as he felt Atemu use his powers and heard the explosions. There was just something about the Pharaoh giving into his yami nature that intrigued him. Before Seto came along Atemu was considered a goodie goodie in his book. But something in the Priest brought out his darker side and he was internally grateful for that.
He reached around to his back to pull his favorite dagger out of its sheath. Being bored waiting on this Dumbledore he decided to toss it around a bit. He had just started to give it a whirl when he felt the tingle of modern magic in the air.
Glancing around he spotted an old man in gray robes heading his way. Behind him was another man that had a weird aura around him, one he instantly recognized. He waited till they got closer before he spoke.
"I thought Yami told you to come alone."
Dumbledore looked at the white haired man and took in the dagger in his hands and the narrowed chocolate eyes. The feeling of immense power washed over him. It was the same feeling he got when he faced the tri-colored man before except that one's power was stronger than the one standing in front of him. But still this one wasn't to be taken lightly either.
"Excuse me do I know you?"
Bakura growled. "No, but I've heard about you. Your name is Dumbledore and you were told to meet Yami and Harry here tonight. I'm here to make sure you wait till they are done terrorizing his family. Now again I ask why is the Cousin of Anubis with you when you were told to come alone?"
"Cousin of what?"
"Idiot, the werewolf with you! Who else would be related to the Jackal headed god? Honestly has this whole world forgotten the old gods?!"
"I'm sorry but Professor Lupin wanted to come and see if Harry was alright. He's worried about him."
The tomb robber snorted. "I don't give a damn who's worried about him. If Yami told you to come alone then that's what he's expecting of you. You really have no idea who your messing with do you? And as for Harry being alright, I can assure you he's better off with the Kaiba's then he is anywhere else."
This time Lupin decided to speak. "Harry would be better protected at the Order with the rest of us."
"Oh really? Then I guess we should just quit saving your sorry asses and let you deal with the creatures from the Shadow Realm since you all seem to have everything under control." He said with sarcasm.
The Headmaster stood there and watched as Lupin and Bakura spoke. Granted he wanted Harry back under his protection but it was also true they had no way of dealing with whatever these creatures were and from the way these strangers talked they could handle them quite well.
"Did you say that fellow's name was Yami?"
"Yes, my name is Yami."
Bakura whirled around and saw Atemu and Harry coming up behind him. He carefully took in the looks on their faces. The Pharaoh was pissed, undoubtedly cause there was a second person here and Harry looked well..shocked.
Atemu narrowed his eyes as he stepped closer to the group. He should have known that he wouldn't have listened to what he had said that night. For some reason these people just reeked for distrust. And that did not bode well with him.
Harry on the other hand had mixed emotions about being here right now. For some reason Professor Lupin had decided to join them and he knew for Atemu that Dumbledore was the only one that was suppose to be here. As much as he liked Lupin for a teacher he really did not want to see him right now, he still was too painful of a reminder about his godfather. More than anything right now he wanted to go back to Japan.
"Care to explain Dumbledore why you didn't heed my words? Did you think I was going to bring you here only to go back on my word and kill you? Unlike you I keep my promises."
Dumbledore choose to ignore this question again and turn his attention to the boy. "How are they treating you Harry?"
Harry's eyes widened slightly at the question. "I've never been treated better Professor."
"I told them that but the mortals didn't believe me." Bakura said as he glared at them.
Atemu was about to comment but was cut short when Mahaado appeared suddenly before them, at the same time both Bakura and him felt the unmistakable surge of the realm. Both the spirits growled at the intrusion, knowing they were about to have a battle on their hands.
The sky quickly became dark, engulfing them all in a weakened version of the Shadow Realm. The two spirits and the Dark Magician turned towards their left to see about twenty deatheaters and several monsters rapidly ascending on them.
Knowing there wasn't much time he spoke to his loyal monster. "Mahaado take Harry and the other humans back to the Manor. Do not under any circumstances let either of them get near Harry and explain to Seto and Yugi what's going on."
The Dark Magician nodded his head and quickly opened up a portal gesturing for Harry and the others to follow. Harry was about to comply but the others stopped him.
"Harry what do you think your doing going with that thing?!" Lupin said as he advanced towards him but a hand went around his throat before he could get any closer.
"I'd suggest you do as the Pharaoh says, it's about to get really messy here." He growled out as he threw Lupin at the portal then turned towards Dumbledore, "You too old man."
Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, his usual joyful sparkle gone. No one had ever told him to retreat from a battle, especially not some strange kids. There was no way they could do something he could not. He turned and saw Yami facing the Deatheaters when the purple clad monster pointed his staff at him. He could feel the immense dark energy crackling around the tip of it.
"You will do as my Master says or I will force you. You have no clue as how to deal with the Realm and it's creatures. You'd be wise to leave it to them."
He took one last look at the two people that were no facing the oncoming robed men as saw them hold their hands out as some of the most dark and powerful magic gathered in their hands before he conceded and followed Harry, Lupin and the monster into the portal.
Atemu saw out of the corner of his eye as the portal closed behind them before he turned to Bakura with a smirk on his face.
"Ready for some fun?"
"Hell yeah!"
