Oh my… I'm so sorry that this took so long, I hadn't realised just how long it's been since I updated this. The chapter just didn't want to work, I had to threaten it and restart it several times before I got something that even made sense. It's really lighthearted at the moment but the plot will start soon enough. Enjoy!

Also, I just decided a little while ago that I'll be adding in some Yugioh 5Ds characters too. They'll appear later on in the story so there's no need to worry.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh DM, Yugioh GX or (soon to be) Yugioh 5Ds.

Chapter 2 - Introductions

"The room that you were in is in the east wing of the manor," Judai explained. "All of the guestrooms are. I'll show you how to get back later. For now, is there anything specific you'd like to eat?"

I thought about it, mostly trying to remember when I had last eaten a proper meal. Apparently I hadn't. "Not really. As long as it's edible, I don't care."

"Okay then. The dining room's this way." Judai grabbed my wrist and dragged me through a corridor, down a flight of stairs, through several more corridors and into what I could only assume was the dining room.

The room was huge. The dining table was big enough to seat about twenty people, its wooden surface covered by a white cotton sheet. A chandelier hung from the ceiling, its many lights glittering and reflecting off hundreds of tiny crystals hanging from the twisting metal. The walls were a dark, mahogany brown with vases of flowers placed strategically around the room.

I couldn't help but stare. I had never seen a place this grand.

Judai walked regally inside, took the chair at the head of the table and reached for a roll from one of the many platters adorning the table. He caught my eye and gestured to a seat beside him, which I took after shaking myself out of my dazed state.

"Breakfast is served," he said. "Please eat. The others will be down soon."

Judai had just finished saying that when the doors opened, revealing a teal haired boy wearing a pair of dark jeans and a long-sleeved lavender shirt with a blue vest over the top. He walked into the room, yawning widely with his hand over his mouth.

"Johan!" Judai called, waving at Johan, who came and sat on Judai's other side.

"Morning, Judai!" he grinned, giving Judai a high-five. "I see our guest has finally woken up. I was starting to think that Yami's little spell had been a bit too strong."

…Spell?

"Same. But he woke up this morning so it's all alright now," Judai said to Johan before turning to me. "Yugi, this is Johan Anderson. He's… well…"

"I'm his lover," Johan finished, leering at Judai, who blushed a dark red.

"Johan!"

I smiled, holding back a laugh. "Too much information."

"Did Rainbow say something dirty to you, Judai?" a voice asked from the door. "Your face is all red." I turned towards the voice, finally noticing the person standing there.

Rainbow?

It was another boy, an albino, with pure white hair and ruby-red eyes. His hair fell to his mid back in thick strands with those on the top of his head standing up like horns. He was dressed in a simple blue and white striped shirt and blue jeans. A golden pendant hung from a leather cord around his neck, the pendant shaped like a large ring with a triangle on the inside and little spikes hanging from various places on the outside ring.

"None of your business, Kura," Judai said, sticking out his tongue.

"You'd better put that away unless you plan to use it," the boy strolled into the room and pulled up a seat. Judai drew his tongue back. The albino's red eyes turned on me, making me feel like he was looking into me rather than at me. "I see that the kid is awake."

"Kid?" I'mnotakid.

"He's just being mean, ignore him," Johan said, looking pointedly away from the albino.

"Aww… you're so mean, Rainbow."

"Stop calling me that, Kitty."

"But it's so much fun, riling you up."

"Yugi, that's Bakura Tozoku," Judai explained, ignoring Bakura. "He's a friend of ours who's also living here. Don't worry about him, he's crazy."

"… Okay…" weirdo…

"I heard that," Bakura said through a mouthful of food. "You just thought that I was a weirdo. You're really not one to talk, you know."

I gaped at him while Judai and Johan burst out laughing. "What…? How did you…"

"I can read minds. So beware!" He broke out into insane laugher.

I had no response to that. He was starting to freak me out.

"Bakura, could you please be nice to our guest? We don't need you to scare him off with your death threats and general lunacy." Two people walked into the room; one of them looking exactly like Bakura except with brown eyes and less spiky hair. The other I recognised. Red eyes…spiky hair just like mine…

It was the man from my dream.

"You…" I whispered, looking straight at him.

"The one with white hair is Ryou Bakura and you already know Yami," Judai introduced, pointing to first one, then the other.

I know Yami? But it was just a dream…

"It wasn't a dream, kid," Bakura said, poking almost sadistically at a piece of bacon. "Everything that happened three days ago was very real."

"Will you stop that?" I scowled. "I don't like having my mind invaded like that. And I'm not a kid! And what do you mean three days ago?"

"Not my problem, kid." Bakura smirked. "And didn't you know? You've been asleep for three days, give or take a few hours. You've slept like a log… a very short, spiky-haired log…"

"'Kura, stop it." Ryou ordered, coming to sit beside me. I saw Yami move to the other side of the table, sitting beside Bakura. I turned my attention back to Ryou, who had started speaking to me. "Don't mind Bakura. He's usually rather rude, so it's best to just ignore it."

"I'll keep that in mind…" I said before turning to my food.

Three days? I've been asleep for three days?

Breakfast finished without further incident, except for Johan and Bakura's constant arguing - and Yami's eyes burning holes into my head. It wasn't an angry gaze, just curious, and with this strange glint that sent me into spirals of déjà vu. I could have sworn I'd seen that look before…

I jumped when a hand touched my shoulder, spinning around until I came face to face with Johan. He looked down at me, emerald eyes sparkling with mirth.

"Hey! It's just me," he said, holding his hands up in front of him as if to show he was unarmed. "Just wanted to see if you knew the way back to your room. This is a pretty big mansion and it's easy to get lost."

"Uh, yeah. I could use the help," I nodded, looking at him warily. "So, which way?"

"Come on, I'll lead you!" He grinned, grabbing me by the hand before towing me along, chattering animatedly as we walked.

"It's been so long since we've had a visitor!" Johan said, tugging me down a corridor. "The last time was… oh, I can't even remember now! Do you know how boring it can get when you have no new company for Ra knows how long?"

"Oh, don't I know…" I muttered, my neutral mood darkening as memories floated to the surface.

"Anyway. This here is the north wing. Dining room, kitchens, drawing room and the like are all here. Guest bedrooms are in the east wing and the master suite is in the west. Judai's the master of this household so he's got the entire west wing to himself…sometimes." The last word was muttered, a self-satisfied smirk crossing the teal-haired man's face.

"But enough about that!" His smirk turned into a friendly smile, making me smile in return as we walked. "We're in the east wing now. I'm not sure if you were paying attention to where we were going before, so someone will show you around later. Your room is right around here. My room is several doors down and to the right, but I'm hardly ever there, so no point even checking. Ryou's room is opposite yours and Bakura tends to bunk with him, though he also has his own room. Yami's room is further on, three doors down and on your left. If you need any help, just ask, ok?" Johan looked down at me, checking to make sure I had understood the instructions.

"Yeah, that's fine." I nodded, gripping the handle of my door. "Well, see you later." He nodded before turning and strolling away, whistling a cheerful tune as he went. I shook my head and opened the door, slipping inside and closing the door with a quiet click.

That's it for this chapter. As I said earlier, this fought against me so hard… it's even more stubborn than Nightmare! Anyway, this week is an awesome writing week for me! I got two stubborn stories posted in 2 days! XD yayayayayay!
