Ok, here's chapter 7 people! Oh, Dark Magician Grrl, I have your chapter set up, and she'll be appearing in a couple of chapters from now. The role is small, but it will grow over time. Thanks to all who have reviewed and to those who have me on their favorites list! I love you all!

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!. A brilliant mind and artist owns that.

I don't own Harry Potter. A brilliant author who has book 7 underway owns that.

The only thing I own is the imaginative ways of this fanfiction.

Chapter 7: Meeting the Dark Lord

Yami Bakura stood up and went to the door of his soul room. It was sealed shut.

/Hm. Strange./ He entered, or tried to enter the mind link. No Ryou. He tried phasing out of the Ring. Nothing. /Whoever this idiot is, it certainly is NOT Ryou… Ah well. He is going to be sorry. Sorry very, very soon./

Voldemort sat in his armchair bored out of his mind. He sent Crabbe and Goyle to go fetch the Millennium Ring (again. This time they placed an enchantment on it so Yami Bakura couldn't get away). Where are they? He thought. As he pondered the thought, the two in question entered and bowed before their lord.

"Well?" asked Voldemort, impatiently. Crabbe held out the Millennium Ring. Voldemort inspected it, and then placed the item around his neck.

"Now what's so special about this thing?" said Voldemort to no one in particular. "I command you to summon a destructive monster!" Nothing happened, which annoyed Voldemort greatly.

Yami Bakura tried the knob in his room again. This time, a mind link established. Surprised, he called out to his new host.

/Well, now. I see I have a new landlord./ He chuckled, thinking of more damage he could do in the world with another body. Voldemort looked around, startled, but the outburst.

"Did you say something?" Crabbe and Goyle, being the idiots that they are, looked at him funny. They finally, after a minute or two, shook their heads. The Dark Lord looked around again.

/You're worse than Ryou. I'm in your head. I inhabit the Millennium Ring./

Maybe if I think in my head, I can communicate with him… thought Voldemort.

/Good guess, Sherlock./

(what spirit are you?)

/What spirit am I? My, my what an awkward question. I am a tomb thief. Greatest thief ever…/ If no one could guess, Yami Bakura loved to boast.

(Prove it…) Voldemort couldn't see the spirit in his head and was not very sure if he was trustable.

/Ok. You asked for it./

Yami Bakura, with some difficulty, phased transparently out of his item. Voldemort's jaw dropped.

"You must be pretty gifted to be able to keep me from going wherever I wish. Who the heck are you?" sneered Bakura. Crabbe and Goyle backed away.

"I am Lord Voldemort. Who are you?" asked Voldemort cautiously.

"Me? Haven't I told you? I was the little dude in your head. The voice! The spirit! Blah, blah, blah! Are you that dense?" He looked around the room, scaring Crabbe and Goyle as his eyes passed over them. "Nice creepy pad you got here…now why have you brought me here?"

"I want the powers of this Millennium Item! To control the monsters in the Shadow World. To – WHAT IS SO FUNNY?"

"Funny? You are, that's what!" the spirit cracked up, "first off, it's Shadow Realm. Second, it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to control the Shadows and the horrors that dwell within unless you possess a Millennium item. Only those destined can control the Millennium Items. Since you aren't destined for the Millennium Ring, you cannot use it's powers."

"I-I can't?" stammered Voldemort.

"You're like a diver in the ocean without a breathing mask. God luck buddy!" Yami Bakura phased back into the Ring. Voldemort thought for a moment.

"Wait! Come back!"

Yami Bakura returned. "What?"

"I want to see some of the powers of the Item."

"Ok." Yami Bakura summoned the Shadow Realm and his favorite insect, the Man-Eater Bug. "Dinner." He pointed at Goyle. Man Eater Bug immediately began to chase Goyle all about until it pinned him to the ground, saliva emitting from it's mouth.

"Return to the Shadows!" The bug vanished as well as the Shadow Realm. On the other hand, so did the Millennium Ring.

Shoot! He got away through the Shadow Realm! Maybe I should set my sights on something else. Maybe Shadow Monsters aren't the answer. I'll try other means… Voldemort strode over to the table and pulled out the only muggle device he would ever own. A laptop. Crabbe and Goyle watched in interest over their master's shoulder as Voldemort logged on to the Internet and headed to his new favorite site, RuleTheWorld, made by an anonymous person called SetoG (the authoress, the site really does NOT exist but I hope to create it one day). When the page loaded he headed to the Millennium Item section and began browsing. A new link was there, called the "eight millennium item". Voldemort, being the curious greedy dude he is, clicked and read the paragraph necxt to an image of a sword, made of solid gold, with the Millennium symbol on the hilt.

The Millennium Sword, the Eighth Millennium Item was used by an evil sorcerer who tried to bring the end of the world during the rule of Pharaoh Atemu or Nameless Pharaoh (see destiny link on Yu-Gi-Oh page). The item was used by the Pharaoh's personal guard, who followed Atemu and the Pharaoh's cousin, High Priest Set on their way to the villages, or to Upper Egypt (Atemu ruled lover Egypt in the beginning of his reign, but the two sections combined within a month of his start on the throne). However, the guard also worked for the Dark Sorcerer Kramekunadin. Kramekunadin, killed the guard and stole the item. The guard never knew of the abilities it had possessed and merely used it as a normal weapon and only for evil purposes. The abilities of the Millennium Sword:

Summon the Shadow Realm

See into others' thoughts

Capture souls of victims through the Shadow Realm and/or many other means

Begin Penalty Games

Overpowers all other Millennium Items

Now Voldemort really wanted the Millennium Sword. Since it could only be used for evil, and since he was an evil guy, it all fit perfectly. He could capture Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore's souls, take over the world, and kill all the muggles and muggleborns. All minds would be trapped in the Shadow Realm and then the bodies he would bewitch to be his slaves. It was so perfect it had only one flaw – where does he get the Millennium Item?

Yugi, Harry, and Hermione were comforting Ryou, yet again.

"I-I-(sniff) can't believe (sniff) it's gone…again! I am (sniff) a very re-re-responsible owner!" he sobbed. Ron came into the common room with Ryou's food since he refused to leave the tower. Yami Yugi phased out of the Millennium Puzzle.

"Don't worry Ryou, Bakura'll come back," he assured him.

"B-b-but what if he doesn't?" asked Ryou. His face was wet with tears and his eyes were very bloodshot. "What if he's gone? Part of me will be missing then and I want it back!" he put his head in his pillow. Yami looked up suddenly.

"I sense a disturbance!"

"You always sense a disturbance, Pharaoh!" exclaimed Marik, coming down the boys' staircase. He went to sit on a chair across from Ryou but something fuzzy, furry, and black with big green adorable eyes was staring right at him.

"YAH!" he picked it up. It was a black cat with a long furry tale. Extremely adorable.

"Who's feline is this?" he asked, holding it out. The cat, obviously unhappy with the way it was being treated, slashed Marik with a claw and jumped down onto the floor. Hissing, he jumped into Seto's lap. Seto put the book he was reading down and stroked the kitty.

"This is Mokie."

"Mokie?" asked Ron, eating toast.

"After his brother, Mokuba," said Yami. Seto turned on his laptop. Mokuba was online and had sent him a message.

Plushylover77: How's your weekend, Seto?

BEWD Master: Not bad. The Millennium Ring was stolen for the second time in three days. Ryou's having a mental breakdown and today's a Hogsmeade trip.

Plushylover77: cool! Did you get used to you new twin yet?

BEWD Master: It IS a bit different around here having him around.

Plushylover77: oh, I have to go now, Seto. Comeback soon!

BEWD Master: Hopefully, soon!

Plushylover77: Bye!

Plushylover77 has just signed off.

He closed the computer and used his wand to refill the cup of coffee next to him. At that moment, something, round, golden, and pointy came hurling through the window smacking Marik in the back of the head. Mokie hissed and dived under a chair. Ryou looked up just in time to see the ring's cord fall around his neck once more. Yami Bakura phased out transparently.

"BAKURA! Why I outa! What happened to you again?"

"What do you think, Ryou? Someone charmed the Ring and stole it. Anyway, some dude wanted the powers of my Item. I could tell he wasn't destined to have it and left through the Shadow Realm. It was funny when he tried to summon a monster though…"

"Who?" asked Hermione.

"I dunno. Vroldesmol or something like that…"

"You mean Voldemort!" exclaimed Harry.

"Yea! It was no big!"

"NO BIG?" shouted Yami Yugi, "do you know what this means? Now Voldemort will be after the rest of us!"

"Maybe…maybe not," spat Yami Bakura.

"Speaking of Items," said Harry, "there's a teacher in the school with posters of the items on his walls. Some Professor Shadi or something like that.

"SHADI?" yelled Bakura, "NOOO! Anything but him!" He sobbed transparently into Ryou's pillow. Then he went back into the Ring.

/So unfair! Why Shadi? Why must I continue to put up with him/

/You just got on his bad side for too long, that's all…/

/But Ryou! Just leave the Ring in your pocket or something before going into that room! I refuse to be in control when he's in the vicinity./

Ryou sighed./I guess./

2 days later

Voldemort gripped the Millennium Sword in his hands. He was so busy rereading the abilities of the item he was surprised to work for him that he didn't read the warning (typical for all super evil villains).

WARNING: The Millennium Sword may be overpowering to all items, but if lost in a duel to a person of the light (good side), it will self-destruct and the owner will perish. Do not use if attempting to duel another for the latter's Millennium Item. What will most likely happen is that you will lose and then die.

Of course we all know Voldemort. Evil folk like him never read the warnings. Which is exactly what he did. He skipped it.

Please review! You'll make me sooooo happy! My goal is 35 before the next chapter is done
