FLASHBACK
Orphanage where Tom lives - July 2nd - Tom's 15th Birthday (AN: I'm just guessing)
A black haired teen was lying against a tree, hiding from the sun's harsh rays. I was very hot outside but the teen didn't seem to notice. He was currently writing in a small black diary, oblivious to everything around him until…
"Hey! Hey, Riddle! Get your bloody arse in here!" A tall blond yelled at him from an open window.
'Damn jerk!' Tom thought to himself and closed his diary. "What the bloody hell do you want Jones? I'm busy!" Tom yelled at the other teen from his spot beneath the tree.
The teen, Jones, smirked at Tom, "Sure, Riddle. Your really busy writing in that stupid diary of yours."
"Just tell me what you want, Jones!" Tom yelled, getting madder at the blond.
Jones' smirk grew wider, "It's your turn to clean the kitchen. You better do it before Mrs. Emerson returns from the store."
"What are you talking about, Jones?" Tom asked, "I just did the living room this morning."
"Oh? You did? Why thank you for doing my work for me, Riddle!"
Tom stared at him and stood, "What are you talking about?" Tom said as he began to walk towards Jones.
Jones began waving around a sheet of paper, "The schedule says that I was suppose to do the living room and you were suppose to do the kitchen."
Tom grabbed the sheet from Jones and read:
Tom Riddle ---------------------------------------- Kitchen Duty
Adam Jones --------------------------------------- Living Room Duty
Tom stared at the sheet. He was sure that he was supposed to do the living room. Jones smirked at the look on Tom's face, "You better start cleaning. Mrs. Emerson comes back in an hour." he said and walked away from the window.
Later
Tom slammed the door to his room and threw his diary harshly onto the bed. He was furious. Jones almost got him in trouble and he was stuck washing the dishes. 'That bloody jerk!' Tom thought angrily, 'He's lucky that I can't do any magic during the summer other wise I'd be hexing his sorry arse into oblivion!'
At that moment the lights in Tom's room began to dim then went out and the room became colder. 'What's going on? Why is it so cold?' Tom was about to open the door to see what happened when the windows in the room opened and a strong gust of wind blew into the room.
"What a powerful child." Tom heard someone hiss but there was no one in the room but him. "Yesss, very powerful, sssstrong, intelligent, young and filled with anger." the mysterious voice continued, "Yesss, you will do quite well." And everything went blank.

"…And when I woke up I was in a room with no way out. And every time I slept I would see what he was doing. Whatever I did I couldn't stop it, I couldn't escape…until Tohma got me out."
By the time Tom was done with his story everyone was staring at him, even Seto lost his cool façade.
"So…" Harry began, "Voldemort is really some kind of evil spirit?"
"Probably," Tom replied, "I didn't see him at all."
They were quiet for a moment until Yugi piped up, "Why don't we go and check on the yamis?" Everyone agreed and headed across the street.

Hogwarts
A tall man covered from head to toe in black marched down the stone hallway until he reached a stone gargoyle and muttered 'Skittles' then stalked up the steps that where hidden by the gargoyle. Slamming open the door he marched into the office. "Headmaster, we have a problem."
"Oh? What did Voldemort plan this time, Severus?" Albus Dumbledore asked.
"He didn't plan anything," Snape replied, "It seems that the Dark Lord has gained a new ally." then he frowned. "The man had strange powers."
"What kind of powers?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
Snape's frown deepened, "The man, Nerezza, he transported us to this place. It was a dark place. He called it the Shadow Realm." he remained quiet for a moment, "The man summoned a dragon in that place." Snape said quietly.
"A dragon!" Dumbldore exclaimed.
Snape nodded, "He called it a 'Blue Eyes White Dragon'."
Dumbledore looked like he was deep in thought, "Did he tell you any of his plans?"
"I heard him mention something about Duel monsters, Egypt, and a Pharaoh and that he was going to search for some Millennium Items in Japan but that was all I caught."
"Very well then. You may go Severus." Snape turned and left.
