Yami: (drags Scorpia out from where she is hiding and pushes her toward the waiting readers.)
Scorpia: hehe um hi you guys. I-i would just like to say that, I have finally um decided about the um orientation of the uh characters in this er story...(tries to duck away but is forcibly detained by Yami)
Yugi: Scorpia...why do you try to keep run away?
Scorpia: Well Yugi, once I say this, I can't very well retract what I am going to say. (takes a deep breath before facing the audience) First off, I would like you to know that I would like you to keep reading this, despite what I say. And please, at least let me finish telling you why I have decided this before you write me off and leave. Second, please don't flame me, just because I have chosen this story to be this way. I don't particularly like flames(unless they are helpful).

Now, I have chosen this story to be...Shounen-ai. (cringes) I'm sorry. I just can't resist the temptation, and a lot more reviewers asked for yaoi...so I decided to go in between and do a shounen-ai. I will not have Yugi and Yami declaring undying love (well not at the beginning..(shifty eyes)) or kissing, just a few fluff filled moments including, but not limited to, cuddling, hand holding, and declaring uncertainties about their feelings to each other! So If you don't like that, just pretend that it's brotherly love...(beams) So I hope you guys understand, and that you don't flame me ((praying)Please don't flame me, please!) and that I made at least one person happy...

On with the Show!
"Konichiwa." A perky automated female voice spoke from the speakers. Snape's eye twitched in annoyance at the shrill sound. " Ni yonju nihongo des ichi, kudasai . Arigato gosaimasu." It continued for what seemed like forever, in hundreds of languages. Finally though, it spoke in English. "If English is your main language, please press numbers 1423. Thank you and have a nice day."

Snape quickly pushed the buttons on the stupid phone. The stupid Ministry of Magic in Japan Tokyo had the same operation as the one in England, which included the annoying voice. The only difference was the style of phone booth, this one being a smoky glass, silver style. But not for long. A whirring sound filled the glass booth as it shifted and transformed into a red telephone booth that was found around England. Snape felt his eye twitch again and his jaw had a tick.

Snape had been up all night trying to get the authorities in Tokyo to allow him to search Japan. Unfortunately, they had to go through all the formal paper work and they had to abide exactly to tradition. Heaven forbid they ever look out side the box. Now, he just had to listen through 1,423 languages that included troll, fairy, and some horrible screeching which he suspected was Merperson. To say the least, he was NOT happy, at all.

"Please state your name and business with the Tokyo Ministry of Magic."

"Snape, here to pick up search warrants and paperwork." He bit out harshly, almost growling, into the phone receiver. Another whirring sound followed by a click. "Please place the pin button on your persons and hold on tight. Have a nice day!" Snape stiffly complied to do as the voice had asked, quickly pinning the badge that Stated 'Snape. Paperwork, Search Warrant Pickup. English. (Grouchy old sour puss)' It had a shimmer to it, and Snape could tell that when other people looked at it, they would see their own language instead of English.

He had realized that they had put the sour puss comment and was about to go ballistic before he was thrown violently against the wall of the booth. He had forgotten to hold on tightly. The phone booth had shot straight up, going fast enough to pull his face back for a couple of G's. Finally though, the booth came to a direct halt, causing Snape to hit his head against the ceiling. The doors dinged open and Snape walked out, rubbing his head and glaring at anyone who passed.

The ministry was located on a building that floated almost a mile up, hidden invisible by several thousand charms. The building had been up here for hundreds of years, ever since the Ministry began, and was one of Japans biggest tourist spots for vacationing wizards, after all the view was magnificent. They had had trouble with airplanes a few times since they had been invented, but they had fixed that with a simple barrier charm, not unlike the one used at the Quiddich Wolrd Cup, that bounced things up or down and away from the building.

Quickly walking into the main room, he didn't stop to admire the three-sixty view of the sky, or of the statue ( the same one in the English Ministry). The view was three-sixty because the floor has a grill pattern, and on top of the grid is a glass that has been protected by charms to never break. It's quite a lovely view. He stalked down the hall way, and came to a door labeled 'Paper Work Pick Up'. He entered, and was instantly enveloped in noise and confusion. Who knew that paperwork pickup could be so confusing?

Various wizards and witches were sitting behind hundreds of small desks, sorting, typing, writing, and generally trying to help people. The ministry wizards were all dressed in blue, an old almost kimono style of robing that included the Obi that most found on men Yukatas, however both sex's could be seen wearing this style.

Snape, his eye lid now twitching even more, settled in for a long wait behind a couple of Hags that obviously didn't like the light, or the view according to their loud and obnoxious complaining. Snape felt the tick in his jaw and eyelid increase. He was in for a long wait.

(break line isn't working!...)

Down in Domino city, one, Yugi Mouto sneezed as he ate his breakfast, which consisted of sweet eggs and rice.

"heehee bless you, Yugi." his granfather smiled as he walked away from the stove, a frilly pink apron on. "Was somebody thinking about you? Perhaps a young and beautiful admierer of the duel mosters champion?" A perverted grin crossed his face as he thought this. Yugi sweatdropped and blushed at his granfather.

"Grandpa! Don't say those things!" He complained. /and tell him that apron is aweful, aibou./

"And could you please NOT wear that apron?" he asked on behalf of the pharaoh.

His grandfather just chuckled and sat down to eat, taking the apron off and draping it across the back of his chair. Yugi just turned back to his eggs and ate them in record time. By the time Suguroku Mouto had taken a bite, his grandson had eaten everything and had jumped up, grabbed his jacket and ran away from the table.

"I'll be at the arcade with my friends grandpa!" he shouted as he ran out of the house, the door slamming behind him. Sugoroku continued to smile, thanking kami-sama for letting Yugi have friends. He had been conserned when Yugi never seemed to have any friends and got beaten up almost every day it seemed. He didn't know what had happened, but suddenly Yugi had friends, who seemed to really care about him. And he was greatful to Kami-sama for that.

(line break thingie won't work!...)

'Finally!' Snape thought to himself as he walked through the crowded lobby of the Tokyo Ministry of Magic, clutching three folders worth of papers tightly in his hand. Geeze, it had taken over four hours for him to get those papers, you would think he had been taking out a dragon's ransom from Gringotts!

Scoweling fiercly, he made his way to the damn phone booth and scoweled as he found himself accompanied by the same two hags who had complained about the view. The tick was slowly coming back into force as the doors closed.

By the time the elevator had made its short plunge to the ground, Snape was twitching uncontrolably. Stalking away from the booth, he headed to the Shinjuku district, known by humans as the weirdest place in Tokyo. This was also the place equivilant to Diagon Alley in Japan.

Heading down the subway steps, he muttered a quick spell and was sucked through the stairs and into the Ginza. He was struck by the bright colors and weird things people wore. People with transfigured cat ears walked boldly in front of people, bright purple and black knee high socks flashed by, hats with talking animals on them strolled by, and hair styles stuck straight up! A girl with fairy wings and a bright pink dress drifted by and gave him a chirpy "Konnichiwa!" before lazily drifting by him and up to the muggle subway station.He gave a heavy sigh and made his way to Jusco, the place where he was staying.

Rumaging through his bags, he pulled out the vial and set it on an intricate map of Japan. Waving his wand over the vial, he spoke a spell that shot purple sparks from his wand. The vial itself seemed to resist the spell for a little bit, the vial glowing a brighter silver, before spinning and stopping on the lower island Kyushu. Moving the vial, Snape saw that it had landed on a city called Domino.

He grimly got ready to leave, knowing know that Domino city was his final destination.
