Okay, so this has been done before, but so what? That's basically what
ff.net is, different plays on the same basic situations. I know I shouldn't
start this, having not finished with my OTHER crossover fic, but
inspiration strikes at strange times, and you can never be too sure of when
ff.net goes down...again...

~*~*~ "JOUNOUCHI! Do NOT tell me you got us lost AGAIN!" Anzu yelled into the ear of the tall blonde boy who was 'navigating' in the front passenger's seat. Honda was driving and Yugi, Ryou, and Anzu were squeezed into the backseat of the rental station wagon. Seto Kaiba was sleeping in the trunk area with the bags. He and Jou were fighting so much the group had to separate the two. What Jou didn't understand was why Sugoroku had wanted the guy to come, although nobody else seemed to mind.
"You don't have to scream!" Jou rubbed his ear. "You'll wake up Yugi and Ryou." The two other boys were dead asleep, too, and had been since they'd started driving from the airport that morning. They'd been lost for eight hours and were currently driving down some lonely country road that was part blank pastures, part tall mountains, and part dense forest. They'd run out of paved road and had been driving on an indistinguishable dirt path in the woods for the last two hours.
It was really dark in the forest and Anzu was starting to get scared. What if they ran out of gas? They'd have to stop in this dark, creepy, slimy forest. They hadn't seen any gas stops, restaurants, homes, any sign of civilization on the road at all, and there weren't any other roads to take.
'This is the worst vacation ever!' Anzu thought grumpily. Yugi's grandpa, Sugoroku, had offered to pay for this week-long trip to England as an End-of-the-Summer present. It was September 1 and they had school starting in two weeks. All they had to do for Yugi's grandpa was visit some old friends of his, and help with some problem they'd been having. Sugoroku had given them special directions to his friends' place that Jou CLAIMED to be following directly, but so far, Jou had just proved himself to be really bad at reading directions.
They drove along in total silence for another hour or so, finally driving out of the forest into blank pasture again. Yugi and Ryou finally woke up, stretching out and rubbing their eyes, blinking at the sun that had just about set. The sky was still a torrent of blue, red, and purple clouds.
Yugi turned to Anzu. "So, are we close yet?"
"Hell, no." Anzu said simply. "Jou here has gotten us so lost that there hasn't been a single sign of human life at all!"
"Then, what's that?" Yugi asked, pointing out the window.
Anzu looked past him. In the distance, on the horizon was what looked like a building. "Whoa, nice job Yugi..."
Jou turned to look, too. "Honda!" He said tapping his friend's shoulder. "That way!"
So, Honda eased the car off the road, and they bumped and bounced their way across the grass towards the shadowy dwelling. But as they neared it, Anzu's squinting eyes just saw some smoldering old building. In fact, it looked like it was rotting away before them. There was an old sign hanging on the front in English. Probably telling them it wasn't safe. Anzu wasn't sure, they still weren't close enough.
"Uh, guys," Anzu spoke up. "Looks like a dead end..."
Yugi turned to her, eyes alight with excitement. "What are you talking about? This is the coolest thing ever!"
Jou raised his eyebrows. "Uh, Yugi?" Jou looked around at Anzu and Honda who just shrugged. "Is something wrong with your eyes or am I the only one seeing a building that is dangerous to our health?"
Ryou said, "What are you talking about? That castle looks amazingly well kept! In fact, there's probably someone..." He paused strangely for a second, before his jaw dropped in surprise. "Oh, my God, look at all those carriages coming this way!"
Jou, Anzu, and Honda just looked at each other.
Yugi pointed to the empty horizon left of the ruin. "They're coming from that town over there! And you said there wasn't any civilization! How could you have missed that?"
Jou, Anzu and Honda looked at each other again.
Just then, Seto spoke up, scaring everyone. Apparently he'd been awake for a while now. "Uh, are those two on something? Because whatever it is, I want some. It seems to be working for them."
They came to a stop about 30 ft from the building. Yugi and Ryou leapt out, staring in awe. Everyone else got out, too, slowly, still giving the two weird looks.
Jou whispered to Honda. "D'you think it was something to do with the Millenium Items?"
Just then, as if he heard them, Yami came to rise out of the puzzle. Everyone looked expectantly at Ryou, but he shook his head.
"Still asleep."
Everyone shrugged and turned to Yami. Jou asked, "Is something there that we don't see?"
Yami looked at the building. "Whoa..." He turned back to Jou. "What do you see?"
"Umm...an old, rotting building?" Anzu replied.
"Aaaaang! Wrong!" Bakura had popped out of Ryou's Ring. Smirking at Yami, he started taunting them. "They don't see...they don't see..
Yami held his arm out to Jou, Anzu, Honda, and Seto. "Open your eyes." He said this gently, but the four suddenly arced their backs and fell to their knees in pain, clutching at their heads.
Eventually the pain subsided and Seto jumped up and yanked Yami up to meet his face by the collar. Yami was elevated a couple of inches off the ground. "What the hell do you think you're doing?! Trying the implode my brain?!"
"As much as I would like to, I didn't want to hurt the others." Seto loosened his grip. Yami smirked and said. "Look up."
Seto dropped Yami. The others looked up, too, and saw the most magnificent castle they'd ever seen. It was much bigger than Pegasus' castle on Duelists' Kingdom, and much more beautiful. There were turrets and towers reaching up to the sky.
They heard something coming towards them and they all whipped their heads to the left. The carriages that Ryou had mentioned. The group started walking towards them but stopped when someone called out to them from behind. They turned and saw an old man with white hair and a white beard so long that it brushed the ground. He wore those wierd half-glasses and smiled when they saw him.
"I suppose you are Yugi and his friends."
The group nodded silently.
"I am Professor Albus Dumbledore. Welcome to Hogwarts."
~*~*~ What do you think? Too cheesy? I'm not sure if Yami's powers work that way, but for the purpose of this fic...
