Hey! Another chapter for you guys who read this story! I'm dead tired from Marching Band so if it sounds bad just tell me! Sleep is a good thing to have, but I have class in the morning! Argh!
Randomness:
Listening to: "Celine Dion"
Thinking: about how tired I am and what to do in this chapter!
Talking to: No one right now but hopefully RL will get on later otherwise she'll call me! Yay!

Review responses(whether from chapter 10 or not):
Banana Summer: I actually considered making Harry react that way, but do you really think after all the shock of seeing someone he never REALLY knew he would react that way? I don't know, maybe it should've been the other way so sorry that I didn't make that the way you wanted. Thank you for your view on it!

….: Well that's an interesting name! Anyway, there will be another point to Joey being in the story but that's later on and you can't know that yet! Thanks for the review!

Peter Kim: Sorry about not review responding, but I'll try to get a duel in for you. James doesn't know anything about shadow games, the items, etc. ((in the way you put it)) I've been trying to think of a way to incorporate Marik later and thought of a way so I'll insert him in the story. Isis doesn't need to keep much of an eye on the Tomb robber because he isn't doing anything…but she may need to in later chapters! Thanks for the review and I'll try to respond more! SO SORRY! -Throws imaginary confetti in the air-

Demon Slayer Meiko: I know she would make a better Ancient Runes teacher but I needed a defense against the dark arts and so brought her to be that teacher! I'm glad you agree with me on the Yaoi, thanks for telling me your thoughts!

NKingy: Does Joey really seem that "matey" with Hermione? There won't be any romance in this story though, so they're just friends! And look at me! I'm updating! Thanks for the review.

Kenmeishouri: I did make up the thing on palms, I really have NO idea about anything fortune telling and the likes! Glad that it sounds real though because that's a good thing! Thanks for the review!

Ryou and Harry stood at the stone gargoyle leading to the Headmaster of Hogwarts office wondering why they had been summoned. The two boys stared at it for some time before Harry sighed and muttered the password the Professor McGonagall told them. ("Swedish Fish") The statue leapt to the side and the boys started their trek up the staircase. Harry determinedly walked up to the office, but Ryou seemed a bit hesitant, though for other reasons. He had been talking to his Yami all through lunch and the ancient spirit had been getting restless of being stuck in the ring. Sure Bakura was changed for the better but…he still had his moments.

/Come ON, Hikari! Just let me out for one day? Please/ Bakura complained constantly to the teen-aged boy who gritted his teeth to prevent yelling out loud.

/I said "no" and that's my final answer! If you're a good tomb robber I'll let you out during the weekend, okay/ Ryou really thought the spirit was just testing his temper by now since he had told him the same answer about fifty times now.

but that's a day away, can't you let me tonight/ Bakura continued to attempt control of his hikari…politely.

/No! And that means no, so live with it already, I'm at the office doors so just be quiet through this time and the time I let you in control, got it/ There goes the ever so patient Ryou! Hello to the "I'm gonna bite your head off if you speak to me again until Saturday" Ryou!

"Welcome boys, would you please come and sit down?" asked Dumbledore who sat at his desk with James to the side. 'I wonder if he ever leaves this room,' thought Ryou amusedly, good mood coming back now that his Yami was sulking. Yes, Bakura sulking, take a picture while it lasts!

"What is it that you wanted to talk to us about, Professor?" asked Ryou politely as he took the seat indicated for himself. Dumbledore smiled with that calm smile, eyes twinkling which made Ryou's mind also wander. Did his eyes have a light bulb in them or what?

"We," he gestured towards James, "figured out a possible meaning to Harry's dream and were wondering your outtakes on the discussion we had earlier?" Harry looked at Dumbledore, had he really found a possible understanding for his dream? Or should he call it a nightmare?

"For your dream Harry, we think that Voldemort must be after either you or Ryou. In that case he'd be trying to kill your father again to get to you most likely Harry. I don't think Voldemort knows about Ryou, but you never know with that creature." Harry nodded following every word that Dumbledore said. It made sense to him now. If Voldemort was after someone, namely him, he would kill off the people that he loved friends, family, you name it! Sadly Harry didn't suppose Voldemort had any intention of killing off his enemies. If he did that Harry wouldn't have to fight Voldemort himself and that would be a good thing, definitely.

"Now what is your feed back on the situation placed before us, Ryou?" he asked the white haired boy who sat up slightly straighter, nervous that he had to go first.

"Well," he started slowly. "I think it's a bit different. I don't really see much of a difference because I've had a sibling before and I never saw much of father anyway so…it's not bad." He sunk a bit in his chair feeling his answer wasn't sufficient enough.

"Harry?"

"It's awesome!" he said smiling. He liked the idea of having his father back, having a brother even if half. It was a whole new experience, like the time he was almost able to live with Sirius…almost. "I like having family besides the Dursley's; will we be able to live together after the school year?" Dumbledore smiled at his enthusiasm and nodded his head which made Harry's mood brighten even more.

"Well it's nice that you two are taking it well, we didn't know what to expect from you," stated James looking at the two. "I really do hope to find out more about you in the future, but that'll have to wait. You can't come visit this office daily because people may get suspicious or think Dumbledore is favoring you." They nodded in agreement. Knowing Hermione, she would figure it out somehow. The two needed to act like they did before they found out that they were related.

"Well it looks as if it is time for dinner. We should head down to the Great Hall Harry, Ryou." Dumbledore lead them out of the office and they walked to the dining room to eat.

Harry and Ryou left the Great Hall with Hermione, Joey, and Ron talking about anything from classes (Hermione) to dueling (Joey). The three more experienced wizards and witch wanted to try a duel. They knew all the rules so Ryou and Joey decided they could borrow their decks to play a duel against each other.

When the group got back to the common room Harry and Ron decided to try first Harry taking Ryou's deck and Ron taking Joey's.

Out of the two of them Ron was doing the best. The two boys had started with 2000 life points and now score was:
Harry: 500
Ron: 1000
they continued until Harry drew the card that won him the game, the Change of Heart. He quickly took control of the Red Eye's Black Dragon (Joey had taken it back from Yugi after they stopped being best friends) and finished off the red head's life points. This meant that Harry and Hermione would duel next and unfortunately for Harry, Hermione beat him. She was thrilled with being able to be better than Harry at a game, but didn't boast about it because she knew Harry wouldn't be too happy if she did. It was a fun game after all. The rest of the night was dedicated to homework, Ryou and Hermione forcing the boys to do theirs since the two had finished their own earlier. By the time the group got to bed they were all tired and couldn't wait until the next day was over so they could relax for a bit. While all the other boys slept Ryou couldn't help a thought that had come to his mind. Dumbledore hadn't mentioned anything about his mother. They said it wasn't time for them to know about her, but Ryou was really curious as to why. Could she really be that much of a mystery?

LALALA

One by one the some by twos or threes the followers of the dark lord appeared in an abandoned field somewhere in Japan. There, waiting for them was lord Voldemort with four other robed people behind him. As some of the followers appeared they would bow, muttering what appeared to the dark man as false words of greeting. He knew some of them had grown to despise him, how could they not with Dumbledore running around pronouncing he was back. The people who had been found out looked on with suspicion. But they knew if they tried to get out of his "gang" them and any family would suffer greatly, before they even got to that dreadful Dumbledore. Voldemort's face contorted into a sadistic smirk, oh they would pay.

Voldemort looked around the field, everyone appeared to be here, the only excused from this meeting was Snape who had to teach at Hogwarts, so Voldemort knew he would have to recruit the man as a spy at some point. Malfoy wasn't the best at getting information from his son, but having an actually staff member of the school would be a great accomplishment. If he refused, he would receive death.

"Servants, today is a great day for us all. We have recruited four new members to our cause who accepted quickly. One even has a power to teach us, one that could help to obliterate that dreadful Dumbledore and his followers forever; lost in a realm of shadows, losing their sanity!" Voldemort's speech brought cheers from around him. It was a joyous day to receive new followers; hopefully they would be loyal and obedient. For now he was their master, and they were his servants.

A boy with white blonde hair walked down the street to the apartment owned by his family kicking a stone on the ground mumbling angrily to himself.

"They think they can just leave me, the jerks. Now I know how Ryou and Joey must have felt. How can they give up on even talking to me all together," he kicked the stone hard, staring at the ground as he walked. He didn't notice the girl standing in front of him until he ran into her. "Whoa! Watch where you're-Mai?" the boy stopped staring at the girl in front of him.

"Marik, so that was you sulking about?" asked the beauty in front of him. Her face was tear streaked from the make-up she wore and she looked as though she was about to break down and cry some more. They walked a bit more down the side walk.

"What's the matter? Did Yugi and the gang leave you too?" she nodded and he sighed exasperatedly. "What is with them lately? Even the friendship obsessed girl is losing it! Any way, want to come in," he was standing in front of his apartment building.

"Sure, but won't your sister be annoyed about it?" he shook his head at her response.

"She's off in another country right now and Odeon won't care," he opened the door and they took the elevator to floor three and he opened the door to the Ishtar apartment. "Are you hungry?" he asked her and she nodded almost instantly, she probably hadn't eaten for awhile. They walked to the kitchen and got some food sitting at the small table eating silently for some time.

"So how did they leave you? Was it just leaving or what?" she asked him.

"Well they sort of told me they thought I was a twisted evil person and didn't want me to influence their good intentions. I know I wasn't too bright, but I'm different now. It's like they're the ones changing. Did you hear that they left Joey?" Mai gasped obviously she hadn't heard.

"No I didn't. But why would Yugi just push his best friend aside like that? It does seem as though they've changed. And you aren't like before, but…this just doesn't seem right." She said. Marik nodded.

"Ryou of course was always more of an outcast," she nodded her head. "What with his Yami; anyway, I heard Joey and Ryou became good friends, but left to some school in another country according to Isis' last letter. So how did they break it to you?"

"Well they sort of called me some horrible names and said any friend of Joey's is an enemy of theirs. I didn't have any idea what they meant but they told me it was over and I could never speak to them again. I ran away from them and found you." She explained. "I don't know what's up with that lot but something bad is happening. I may not hold a millennium item, but it doesn't stop me from having bad feelings and right now they don't seem like 'save the day heroes' anymore." Marik agreed with her. They seemed more like 'destroy the world fools' than the heroes they once acted like.

So there is your chapter! I hope you enjoyed it and I'll try to update soon, but I'll be really busy this weekend so it'll have to be next week!
