Joey Wheeler ran through the hallways of Hogwarts, a piece of toast clenched in his teeth threatening to fall at any moment. He had exactly one minute and twenty three seconds to get to his first class that day as he had so carelessly overslept. It's not his fault that he needed to finish his transfiguration essay, the class he was heading to. Well, maybe it was his fault that he needed to finish it, but if you asked him he would say that it wasn't. If he was late, he was sure that the Professor would hand him a detention; he'd already been late a couple of times and had been warned that he better not be late again.

The transfiguration room, three doors on the right, was coming up fast; he was almost there when suddenly he ran into somebody. Joey fell back on the floor and almost choked on his toast while his books flew everywhere.

"Aw man, now I'm going to get detention for sure," he groaned as he saw Professor McGonagall step out of the classroom and look at him. Joey started to get up when he caught sight of the person he ran into. 'Is that Duke?' thought Joey and he picked up his books not taking his eyes off the figure that had just stood as well.

"Mr. Wheeler, are you going to come into class," if Joey wasn't scared he would have noticed the amusement in her voice at the fact that he had almost made it.

"Oh…yeah sorry about that Professor, I didn't mean for that to happen," he started to walk towards the door taking one last glance at Duke before he was stopped by Professor McGonagall.

"Don't worry; I won't give you a detention. You would have made it on time," the Professor almost smiled at him as he took his seat, she turned around to speak to the other boy, but he was already gone.

"Ryou I swear, the person I ran into was Duke!" Joey exclaimed as he and Ryou walked back to their dorm after classes had ended.

"I know, but why would he be out during school hours, it just doesn't make sense at all," Ryou argued. He didn't see why Duke would be so stupid. Well this was Duke… ((A/N: Really I love Duke; I want to name one of my kids Duke I just think that he would do something like that!))

"Ah, Ryou, just the student I was looking for. Of course I knew that you would be here at this precise moment, but I need to speak with you about the wonderful subject of Divination," Ryou turned around to see Professor Trelawney behind him.

"Yes, what is it Professor?" he asked politely and waited.

"It would do better if you came with me, this entire crowd is blocking my inner eye," she said and all Ryou did was nod and say a quick farewell to Joey as he was led away and up to the North Tower.

Joey, now given a reason to do something turned around and began heading towards the Defense against the Dark Arts Professor's office. He needed to speak with Bakura about his sighting; somehow he felt he had to.

Joey knocked on the door politely and Marik answered. "Hello, Professor Ishtar isn't here right now, but if you leave a message I'll be sure to-."

"Marik," a warning yell came as Isis came into view at the door. "What have I told you about saying that whenever someone knocks and you answer! Hello Joey was there something you needed?" she turned to him as he nodded.

"Yeah, I need to speak to Bakura is he here?" Joey asked in a quiet voice while Isis nodded and let him in shutting the door. Upon seeing the 'spirit' Joey went over and sat next to him. "Hey, I need to tell you something." Bakura looked over at him.

"Hm, what is it?" he asked in a tired voice. Did he have a good nights sleep or what?

"Well today I ran into someone in the hallway."

"And this pertains to me how?"

"I'm pretty sure it was Duke," hearing this, the 'spirit' sat up straighter.

"What, where did you see him and why was he out during school hours," Bakura grabbed Joey's collar, "Tell me now!"

"Whoa, no need to get violent; it was right outside the transfiguration classroom." Bakura let him go and nodded taking that information in.

"Well that means someone must be in the upper level of the castle and the other I'm not sure," Bakura stared off into thought.

"Maybe their on the grounds if the whole castle is being searched," Joey suggested and Bakura grabbed him once again, this time by the shoulders.

"That's it, it has to be where they are!" he seemed so obsessed that it was almost scary. "But who is where? Yugi and Yami are on the bottom floors, Duke is on the middle floors and that leaves Tea and Tristan…we must find out!"

"Um, Bakura are you alright? You're looking a tad bit evil and psychotic at the moment…" Joey's voice drifted off as the 'spirit' smirked.

"It's over for the Pharaoh, I will beat him this time!" he laughed and was whacked upside the head by Isis' broom stick.

"Be quiet Bakura, we don't need the whole school thinking that Marik is crazy!"

"But I was crazy!" Marik exclaimed happily as all the people present stared at him with raised eyebrows. "What?"

LALALA

"Hey Dumbledore, we figured out where the idiots are hiding," Bakura yelled as he entered the office only to be met by Dumbledore and Professor Snape. "Um, well…hello?"

"Nice of you to join us Mr. Bakura," Dumbledore said with an amused expression.

"Mr. Bakura that's ten points from Gryffindor for your insolence and you owe me a detention Saturday." Snape said immediately and Bakura just snorted.

"Now Severus that won't be necessary, Mr. Bakura is not a student," Dumbledore responded.

"What? Of course he's a student, he happens to be in my potions class!" Snape seemed confused, and he was as Dumbledore sighed.

"I'll explain it to you later," Dumbledore turned towards Bakura. "Now what was so urgent that you needed to run in here like that?"

"I found out where the other three are, well I know for sure about two of them thanks to Joey, but I need to somehow search the forest and upper levels of the castle," explained Bakura as Dumbledore thought this through.

"I'll send James to the forest if you can tell me a bit about their appearances and you can search the upper levels during the Hogsmeade trip tomorrow," Dumbledore nodded to himself. "It will be good to get this slight problem finished." Bakura nodded and left the office. 'Now how to tell Ryou that I blew our cover to one of his teachers…hm, this will prove interesting.'

The next day was a Hogsmeade trip and everyone was planning on buying their Christmas presents since the holiday was quickly approaching. Our group of five headed out that day with bags of money, cloaks, and scarves. They planned on some how buying each other's gifts with out the others seeing.

Upon arriving in the Magical village the five split up into two groups, one of three and the other two. Hermione and Ryou went off to one area of Hogsmeade and the other three left to another area of the village.

"What would Harry and Ron like for Christmas," asked Ryou as he sifted through all the books at a small bookstore. "Something tells me not a book."

"No, they aren't too fond of books are they?" Ryou and Hermione laughed as they grabbed a couple of things for the other three of their group. "This should do," said Hermione as she paid and Ryou came over some minutes later and paid as well hoping that she hadn't seen her gift. Luckily she had turned away just in case.

"So where were we meeting the others again?" asked Ryou as they made their way around the streets.

"The Three Broomsticks, just for a bottle of Butterbeer, then we'll probably head to who knows where," she responded as the said pub came into view. ((A/N: is it a pub or what?))

Ryou and Hermione entered the pub and looked around, it looked like they had beaten the other three so they ordered two drinks and found a big enough booth for all five of their group.

"I heard from Joey that you were stopped in the hallway by that fraud of a divination teacher," Hermione began a conversation.

"Yeah, she wanted to talk to me about continuing with a career in Divination," was her reply.

"So are you going to do it, well considering a career?"

"I'm not sure, I mean, it might be interesting to continue with it and maybe write a book or something," Ryou thought absentmindedly.

Hermione nodded, "If you do make it a good book, not like all the other Divination books out there, they're so pointless and-."

"Did I hear that correctly, a book that 'pointless?'" Draco Malfoy sauntered over to their table with a smirk on his face. "I never thought I'd see the day where you called a book pointless, Granger."

"Go away Malfoy, you wouldn't understand a book about Divination if it hit you in between the eyes and knocked some sort of intelligence into that overly large head of yours," was Hermione's remark.

"You think you're so smart Granger-."

"No she doesn't think she's smart, she is smart so get out of here you albino vampire," said a voice from behind Malfoy. When he turned there stood a figure in a purple cloak, all you could see of his/her face was his/her mouth and that was set in an all too familiar smirk. Malfoy rose as eyebrow.

"And who are you to tell me these things," he demanded.

"You're worst nightmare," and with that Malfoy's face went blank for a few seconds before it quickly came back to life quickly paling as he quickly left the pub.

"Bakura what in the…what are you doing here?" demanded Ryou in a sharp, but quiet whisper.

"I found where the others are hiding and couldn't wait to tell you, Dumbledore suggested I disguise myself…but something tells me this is a bit too much. People keep staring at me like I'm some sort of evil guy trying to eat them alive. Seriously, how many people would use a cloak as a disguise?"

"Bakura, the death eaters of you-know-who wear black cloaks, they probably think you're some whacked out death eater, maybe some drunk one, I don't know," Hermione reasoned with him as he just shrugged.

"Well it's not like I can change my disguise now, can I? I guess they'll just have to think that."

"Alright," sighed Ryou, "Where are they hiding?"

"Okay, the ex-cheerleader is on the topmost floors, Duke is most definitely in the middle, whatever his name is spiky haired kid is on the grounds mostly in the forest, and our favorite Pharaoh is on the lower floors," Bakura announced proudly.

"So, what did you do about them other than have long overly threatened verbal fights with Yami?" asked Ryou.

"Nothing."

"What, what do you mean nothing? You're just going to leave them there until they do something?"

"Well, I'm thinking up my next move, duh!" Bakura stuck his tongue out at Ryou.

"What have you thought as of late?" asked Hermione.

"I'm still on the first thinking part, I just found out where they are today and not too long ago too. So do you two have any ideas, you're obviously the brains of the group."

"Harry is the better strategist," replied Hermione, "Well, more like he can keep his head about places when he's in a dangerous situation."

"That's not much of a strategist…maybe I should've asked Marik first."

"You are not going to get a strategy from Marik," Ryou growled.

"Oh fine, but it's not like you're helping much dear hikari," said Bakura. "Anyway, from being the leader of a- never mind." Ryou just shook his head and sighed at his Yami.

"Hey, who are you," asked the voice of Joey as he stepped up to their booth with Harry and Ron right after him all three looking suspicious.

"Nice to know I'm welcome in these parts," Bakura grumbled.

"It's the cloak, I told you it was a bad disguise," Hermione reminded him.

"Well too bad, and yes Ryou it is Marik's cloak, okay?" Ryou sighed again at his Yami.

"Hey what are you doing here Bakura?" asked Joey as the three finally sat down at the booth.

"I'm telling Ryou of my findings, got a problem with it?" he asked with a fake glare.

"No, never, but when were you going to tell me of these findings?"

"Oh I figured Ryou would," Bakura said offhandedly as he looked over at Ron who just stared at him. "Hello, have I met you?" Ryou quickly hit his head against the table and muttered some rude words.

"Now Ryou don't be a masochist, it just doesn't suit you," Bakura scolded.

"Doesn't suit me? You're the masochist!"

"Does that make you a sadist?"

"You know what, why don't we head back to the castle, we're attracting attention here, especially with what ever that was that you did to Malfoy," suggested Hermione nervously.

"Good idea, come on," Ryou said dragging his Yami out the door.

Sorry it took so long, I started tennis during the summer and that's pretty much daily, not to mention I have so much homework to do around my tennis practices and meets. I'm so busy! Well I hope you enjoyed the chapter and give me any ideas on if they should go anywhere for Christmas or not.

REMEMBER TO REVIEW BECAUSE REVIEWS MAKE ME HAPPY AND A HAPPY ME MAKES ME UPDATE FASTER UNLESS THERE'S WRITERS BLOCK OR MY SCHEDULE IS TOO BUSY WITH TENNIS AND HOMEWORK, I'M ONLY IN HIGH SCHOOL, GEEZ!

Review Responses:

…: Well you're right in me not saying the different role, but I'm trying to wrap this up so hopefully you'll know in the closer upcoming chapters. I really can't say so it may bein five chapters or like ten chapters so. Oh well, you'll find out sometime!

NKingy: Yay for fight scenes thanks for the review.

Psycho Dragon Lover: Thanks for the review!

Joeyluver-dragonofra: I just get annoyed at Yugi's save the world fifty times every two hours attitude. Sometimes it's alright, but in his case he always has some crazy duelist after him. Oh well, sometimes Yugi's alright, other times he's not.

Kenmeishouri: Nice, I might make her evil in another fic, but I'm not sure if I'll write it or not. Just an idea I threw around in my head a lot, but it'll be a YYH/YGO crossover ((I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho))

Peter Kim: Well Isis has her necklace, Marik and Mai stole it back for her. I don't think Marik will regain his rod, but there will be a shadow duel more towards the end, I'm sure you can guess the characters who will duel. Oh, is that some sort of foreshadow! Hahaha, kidding kidding.
