"Ra damnit! Boy if you don't shut your mouth, I'm going to…"
"Seto-love calm down."
"But Yami, the boy is driving me crazy! He hasn't shut up since we pulled him into the Realm!"
"Yes, but he's nothing but a child and we tore him away from his world."
"I'm not a child!"
"See! He can't even mind his own damn business!"
"Well you are talking a bit loudly."
Seto glared at his husband as he forced the blonde haired boy down on one of the chairs in the living room. "Hmph."
Atemu sighed, thinking this might have been a mistake to bring the child back with them. Neither one of them had stopped bickering since they began. "Seto-koi, please calm down. I can't figure out what's going on if you are constantly fighting with him."
"Fine." He grumbled as he plopped down on to the love seat crossing his arms over his chest. He wasn't pouting, no he was just unhappy with the way things were going.
Draco chuckled, "I didn't know a man could be whipped by another man!"
Kalen groaned, hanging his head in shame.
Atemu turned and gave Draco a rather evil smirk as he flicked his wrist.
Draco's eyes went wide as he watched shadows spring forth and wrap around his wrists, ankles and finally his mouth, making it impossible to talk.
"Now you have no choice but to shut up." Seto chuckled at the sight before him. This little troublemaker was in for a big surprise if he thought he could get away with things here.
"Mahaado?"
Atemu's loyal monster appeared before them bowing slightly. "Yes Master?"
"Would you please go and escort Yugi and Harry back?"
"As you wish," he said before he disappeared.
Atemu turned back to Kalen and beckoned him to follow him into the kitchen. Once inside the white room, the spirit walked over to the counter and turned the coffee maker on. He had a feeling they were going to need it to get through the night.
"You may sit Hunter."
Kalen quickly obeyed, taking a seat at the table.
"Has the boy given you a name yet?" Atemu asked as he grabbed a mug from the cabinet.
"Kalen is what he decided to call me."
"I see. And how did you get to be in the boy's possession?"
"I'm not sure how long ago I was captured but they kept me captive in a magic cell and took away my weapons. Several humans would come in a choose one of us to control. That is how I came to be with him. His father brought him down and told him to pick. I was chosen."
"When you were with him, why did you not return to the Realm? Why did you stay with him?"
Kalen eyed the Master as the other took a seat across from him. "If I could have trust me I would be there now. But they put these one me." He held his arm up and showed the silver manacles to him. "They keep me from returning and I think, although it has not been proven yet, that they make me obey them on some form. Maybe in the battles?"
Atemu took one of Kalen's arms and held it up to study the metal. The Eye lit up on his forehead as he scanned it with his magic. Eventually, he closed his eyes and placed a palm over it.
The Hunter watched as the manacle began to glow softly until he heard a snap and felt foul thing fall from his arm. He waited patently as the Master released the second on with another snap.
Bowing his head, he rubbed his arms, "My thanks Pharaoh of Old. You have my loyalty just as you always have."
"Prove it then, tell me everything you know. My monsters and Realm are being taken and misused. I want to bring them back and I think you can help me."
"As you wish."
"What do you mean we just met them?"
"Yeah what are you trying to pull mate?"
Yugi chuckled as Harry sighed. Sometimes he wondered about his friends. "Yugi is teaching Care of Magical Creatures, Seto is teaching Muggle Studies and Yami is teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts."
Both Ron and Hermione's jaw dropped. These strangers were going to be their new teachers? But they weren't wizards right?
Kala jumped up on Harry's shoulders. Your friends seem to be shell shocked at your news.
"But how can they?" Hermione asked.
"Simple, Dumbledore asked us to help teach and look after all of the students. With the power Voldemort," Yugi said making Ron shiver, "is gaining he needs our help. And since we are after him too, we thought it would be a good idea."
"But what can you all do, if your not wizards?"
"You'd be surprised what the Shadow Wielders can do."
Everyone turned and looked up at the man behind the new voice. Yugi and Harry smiled at him while the other two looked confused and shocked.
It was strange for them to see a tall purple haired man with icy blue eyes, dressed in black slacks and a matching purple shirt looking back at them. Even stranger, this man was holding a long staff that reached from the floor to his shoulders.
"Mahaado, what brings you here?"
"Master Yami asked for me to escort you two back to the Manor, Master Yugi."
"Master?" Ron asked confused. "Why are you calling him that?"
Cold blue eyes glared at the red headed boy, "Because that is what they are." He said in a tone that made Ron gulp and end the questions.
"Alright Mahaado. Did Yami and Seto find what they were looking for?"
"Unfortunately, yes they did."
Yugi frowned, "I take it that's it's not a good thing?"
"Oh you'll see for yourself when we get back. It seems you have two new house guests."
"What!?" Yugi and Harry said at the same time.
"I'll explain on the way."
Harry turned back to his friends, "Guess we'd better go."
"Yeah, mate. Guess will see you on the train then."
"No, I won't be there this time. We're getting there our own way. See you in a couple of weeks!"
Harry didn't know whether to laugh or scream when he saw Draco Malfoy sitting in the chair, restrained by the shadows. Never in a million he have guessed this was one of the new houseguests.
"What the hell is Malfoy doing here?" he asked when he spied Seto sitting on the love seat.
"He was caught with a monster from the realm. Yami brought him back with us to get some answers."
Yugi looked around the room, not seeing his dark. "Where is Yami?"
"In the kitchen with the Hunter. I'm here watching snob boy struggle against the shadows. Quite amusing really. He hasn't figured out there is nothing he can do about it."
"Can't you at least release his mouth Seto? I mean surely he's not that bad is he? He's just a child."
"No he's not bad aibou, he's just temperamental." Atemu walked over to his light and wrapped an arm over the shorter boys shoulders. "I guess I could at least let him speak."
Harry walked over and sat down on the couch just as Atemu signaled for the shadows to let release his mouth.
"I should have known you'd have something to do with this Potter!" he spat as he once again tried to loosen his 'binds'.
"Harry had nothing to do with this I assure you child. Now I suggest you refrain from insulting anyone here if you want to be freed."
Draco turned his attention from Harry to the taller of the two look-a-likes. "Just who the hell are you freak!? And where is Kalen?"
Atemu held a hand up, stopping Seto when he saw the other ready to get up and defend him. "My name is Yami. This is Seto and Yugi," he said as he pointed them out. "I take it that you already know Harry here. As for Kalen he has returned home until he is needed again. You aren't worried about him are you?" Yami eyed the boy, gauging his expression.
"I…NO!" Draco tried to move again, "Why would I care about some stupid monster?"
The spirit chuckled, "I see, well if you wish him back then I'm sure it can be arranged just let me know when you are ready."
"What the hell are you all going to do with me? Do you even know who my father is damnit!?"
"Yami, maybe you aught to seal his mouth again till the child learns how to watch his language." Seto growled out as he glared at the boy.
"Screw you! I. Am. Not. A. Child!"
"Compared to them you are." Harry chuckled. This was just too amusing in his books.
Draco sneered at the green-eyed wizard before he pointed a finger at Yugi. "Well I'm certainly not younger than him! He looks like he's thirteen!"
"Hey wait a minute! I'll have you know I'm twenty-two!" Pouting, Yugi crossed his arms over his chest.
"Yeah, whatever. So if you people have monsters and have some of the shadow powers then you must work for the Dark Lord."
Blood colored eyes turned a shade darker, "I assure you we are not associated with him in anyway."
Draco suppressed a shiver at the venom in Atemu's voice. "Fine, then what are you planning on doing with me?"
"For some Ra-forsaken reason you are staying with us, until your school year starts back up." Seto growled out.
"And what makes you think that once I'm at Hogwarts I won't return to my father and tell him everything about you?"
"Because," a feral grin spread across Atemu's face. "We will be there teaching, constantly keeping an eye on you."
"Oh hell no!"
"Yep!" Yugi and Harry laughed.
Draco groaned and sunk back into the chair. Could life get any worse? "And just where the hell am I?"
"Japan, at my house. Your prison for the next few weeks."
Dragon: ok word to the wise, do NOT try to write a chapter when you've haven't had any sleep and are hyped up on Pepsi. This is the end result. Sorry! –runs off and hides from flying objects being thrown her way-
