Dedicated to my friend and the first ever person to give me a chapter shout out, DementedWitch. Thank you very muchly!

By the way, I am soldiering on at one am! I'm exhausted but I will not rest until I have written out this chapter! I make this pledge to you, my faithful readers. Guess what! It's my birthday soon! Happy birthday me! =]

On the other foot, it has occurred to me that I've never written a disclaimer.. I feel so lost! I'm disclaimer less. -Clears my throat importantly-

LADIES AND GENTLEFOLKS!!! It's lovely to see out and I'd love to tell you my life story but an idea has hit me and the words are a-flowin' so be grateful I'm finally getting an idea! It's a miracle, praise the overlord of creative writing. I've never met the guy, heard he's cool.

And thus, The chapter! I have tortured you for long enough. =]

The alleyway wall was cool against the heated skin of his neck as he stepped backwards, hitting the wall with a thump as his suddenly dangerous new neighbours surrounded him. The blonde one, Marik, was clenching his fists around the smooth gold o f the odd looking rod in his back pocket. Next to him, Malik lay a soothing hand on his arm, providing the comfort only a sibling could provide. Yugi was trembling in anger and pain, wrapped up tightly in the soft warmth of Yami's arms, though Yami looked angry as well. Oddly enough, little kind Ryou looked angrier than his frightening twin, who had his red eyes half lidded. His expression one of a predator hunting its prey, it made Darius shiver.

Darius's expression wavered as confusion overtook his features. Since when did Marik have a twin? Last he saw, Marik was on his own. His eyes drifted to the crazy looking new guy, his tongue darting out to wet his lips nervously, tasting the tang of sweat as he did so. He was nervous, damn him. Face Voldemort over 7 times and he was scared of these bizarre group of people who all happened to be twins. He was scared of his own brother. That was beyond comprehension, so, with the practiced ease of two lifetimes, he shoved it aside and opened his mouth to speak.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" Darius murmured, his expression smooth before he allowed a slight narrowing of his eyes to be seen. "And who is this new twin who seems to have popped up?"

It was Bakura who answered, somehow looking the calmest of all, though he licked his lips as though hungry, reminding him of a vampire. "This is Malik, Marik's twin brother." Bakura looked thoughtful as he wracked his brain on what to say. "Isis, Odion and Solomon have all been kidnapped by some of your friends." Bakura said, his eyes narrowed in anger. "A friend called Dumbledore. He was quite adamant when we spoke to him. Something about a weapon and the ultimate soldier. He said we had to bring you to him before we got our family back."

Darius's eyes flickered up and he curled his hands into fists as he murmured, unbidden. "He just won't give up until he controls me, will he?" He ruffled a hand through his hair in irritation as his eyes half closed, green glinting in the light. Darius lifted his head as a red spell barely missed him. He noticed a stray order member there, casting a patronus to the rest of the group. The order member froze in fear as Darius glared at him, pulling out his wand and glancing to the group. "Hold onto each other firmly and hold your breath." They did so without question, for now.

Darius grabbed Yami's arm and half turned on a heel, calling up most of his magic to take the large group of people back to their house. He felt the familiar feeling of being dragged through a tiny tube, his lungs being squeezed of air as he did so. The world slid back into focus and he took a deep breath, glancing at the group of twins who were now on the floor, groaning. Marik glanced up, gasping for breath. "What the hell was that?"

"Apparation, a type of transport used by wizards. The people you met are wizards." Darius sighed and helped them up as he spoke. "Come into the living room, I need to tell you a story that'll help you make sense of all this." Darius lead the way, remembering the layout of the house from his last visit. He sat on one of the armchairs, curling into the warmth of it as a chill crawled up his spine, and it wasn't from the cold. Shaking his head, he waited until they had all settled down before speaking quietly. "Around 50 years ago there was a young man named Tom Riddle. Now don't be mistaken, Tom Riddle wasn't a bad kid, he was just a little misunderstood plus a murderer. Tom Riddle had a visitor in the orphanage he grew up in, a man by the name of Albus Dumbledore had found him and told him about wizards." Darius took a deep breath, noticing that he had their undivided attention. "The Wizarding world has been kept secret for a long time because if anyone knew if this world, it would cause a riot. People fear the unknown. The Wizarding world is full of people who have this power they call magic, the ability to manipulate things to their desire."

He noticed their looks of awe and surprise. "Of course, like anyone with power, they grew arrogant and the world of magic slowly rotted from its core. Starting with the Wizarding government, the Ministry of Magic and ending with almost everyone in that little niche. The power they had, made them think themselves gods and they were punished." Darius slid his legs under his body and glanced upwards. "The boy I told you about, Tom Riddle. He was manipulated into becoming a terrible person, a person who became so dangerous, he threw off the gods intentions. Tom was supposed to punish the Wizarding world but he instead managed to destroy countless normal people until a boy stopped him. That boy was 15 months old and he temporarily killed Tom Riddle."

"This boy was Harry James Potter. Me, in other words. Still. After 13 years of peace the Wizarding world was brought into chaos as Tom Riddle returned via a ritual. He continued to cause chaos in the world and the group of people you saw, are the order of the phoenix. They believe I can help them defeat him again, as if I am a weapon." Darius fell silent glancing to see their reactions.

The two white haired twins looked surprise as they glanced at each other, trying to piece together the information they had received. Yugi and Yami were off in their own little world, chatting with each other mentally. Surprisingly, the two blondes were both nodding, as if accepting it with ease. "Makes sense." Malik, the crazier twin, hummed.

The door was suddenly opened, wizards pouring in from all directions, Darius half stood before he felt a wand come to rest against his neck. He was trapped. Dumbledore's voice came from behind him. "It's such a shame Harry. If you had come with us willingly, we would have allowed you to live after you did your duty as a soldier." Dumbledore said softly. "Everyone else, I'm sorry to say you will never see your family again." Dumbledore nodded and with a flick of his wand, Darius and the Order members disappeared, leaving the group in a state of shock.

Gentle fingers ran lightly across the stone, awe-filled eyes following the curving lines of the drawings. He loved the art in the temple, it amazed him and every time he looked at it he felt so small compared to the beautiful imagery. The gods were painted on the walls, recently done by a tall man with dark eyes. He was kind and he always let Darius look in in the rooms before anyone else. Darius blinked softly, images flickering across his vision, of battles and death, before it faded as arms slid around his waist, white strands of head coming into his vision as the taller man leant his head on Darius' shoulder. Soft lips touched his neck, kissing a pattern up to his ear, where teeth nibbled lightly on the soft flesh. Darius leant back against a broad chest and moaned, his fingers reaching back to tangle in the soft strands. Darius felt his lover, Akefia, slid a teasing hand down his smooth stomach and he moaned as the warm hand disappeared beneath his trousers.
