Disclaimer: I solemnly swear that I do NOT own anything. (For now, anyway). Er. did I make myself clear enough?????

Author's Notes: Nothing much to say except that I'm new here. My story takes place after the Battle City tournament and will revolve around my favorite and adoring characters; Yugi (of course), Marik and also Bakura. Actually I did want to include Kaiba, but it's rather hard since he doesn't have a millennium item and this story is supposed a crossover with Harry Potter. So it's magical stuffs. The change is Marik still has the rod.

Well, here it goes

Chapter 1

What are your plans?

It was the first morning of a summer holiday. Inside his bedroom, Yugi Motou was dressing himself. The spike haired kid was obviously alone. Technically, of course.

"So who are you trying to impress this time, Tea? Oh I forgot, she was out of town to attend some dancing school, right?", the spirit form of his Yami asked with a hint of amusement in his tone.

"Yeah, she said it was a great school and a fine way to spend her summer", said Yugi, whose voice was hardly above a whisper. "And I'm not trying to impress anyone", he added.

"What's wrong with you, sore throat?" asked Yami, raising a quizzical eyebrow at his other self.

"Well, no it's easy for you, of course. I mean people can't hear or see you, and I just don't want to be the labeled as mentally unstable or something"

Yami laughed and then asked in a serious tone "So what's are your plans for this summer, anyway?"

"Well I was thinking of doing something new you know, for some new experiences. A new job or maybe some traveling would be great too", said Yugi, with an edge of uncertainty in his voice.

"That's a great idea", said Yami approvingly.

"You think so?" asked Yugi, relieved that his Yami thought the same way; for they shared the same body.

"Yeah I'm tired of getting stuck in this city. Not that I disliked this place or something, but it's time we go out and see the world a bit more", said Yami articulately.

"You're right", Yugi said enthusiastically. "So, you got some plans?"

"Huh, I thought you had already figured one out?"

In other parts of the town, Marik Ishtal was talking to her sister.

"What, we're going to England? Why?", he asked, as though the idea was totally incredulous. After the battle city tournament, Isis had asked Marik to help her out at the museum, which he reluctantly agreed.

"Because that's where our next exhibition gonna takes place", she said in her usual calm tone. "And you've to come because I'll need your help with handling these artifacts".

"But, I don't wan..

"Now, no more buts. It's time you do something useful and significant, anyway", her sister said.

"Oh, handling these old artifacts is very significant indeed", Marik replied sarcastically.

Yugi was now outside the local museum. He had spent the whole morning walking around the city aimlessly, thinking about his summer plan. Now that he was right outside the local museum, he might as well go and take a look inside.

Inside the museum, Yugi could see no one else. He supposed that's because those who were interested had already visited the museum before.

//What are we doing here? \\ asked a Yami in a bored tone.

//Well, there's nowhere to go. So I decided to just take a look. Are you bored?\\ Yugi asked.

//You could say so, I know this sounds ridiculous, but I kinda miss hanging with Kaiba, you know. At least he's a constant challenge\\

Yugi smiled inwardly. But before he could say more, he accidentally crashed into something, or somebody. He was so absorbed in talking with his Yami that he didn't pay attention to where he was heading.

"Watch it"

"I'm so sorr.., Bakura!!!, Yugi exclaimed, realizing that it was his friend. Then, seeing the unmistakable darkness on his friends' face, he realized it was only his friend's body; for the spirit of the Millennium Ring was obviously in control.

"I'm. I'm sorry", he said quickly. He knew Yami Bakura had been, well less violent than before but Yugi was still unwilling to risk getting on his nerve. The battle city episode had finally thought Yami Bakura that it's completely pointless to continue vying for power and domination. It just never worked.

"You don't wanna go around with that stupefied look on your face. It's no different from wearing a nametag that says 'Hey, I escaped from a mental hospital'", he said with a mild smirk.

//Let me take over\\ said his Yami, his tone impatient.

//You sure this won't end up as a shadow battle or something?\\ Yugi asked skeptically. Yugi knew both of them couldn't get along, who knew what would happen if both of them were in control.

//We'll see\\ said Yami and Yugi's millennium puzzle began to glow. Familiar changes that usually went unnoticed took place. The child-like countenance and stuttering tone vanished instantly.

"What are you doing here?" demanded Yami.

"I've as much authority to walk this place as you do, Pharoah," answered Bakura in a caustic tone. Then he smirked "You don't rule here, remember?" Usually, he wouldn't aim for a fight with Yugi but it was a different matter with the cocky Pharoah.

But before it could turn into a real fight, they heard familiar voices headed towards them. A second later, Marik and Isis came into sight and both stopped talking at once. Marik's gaze went from Yami to Bakura and instantly, he registered what's going on. He could tell the difference between the spirits and their hosts as easily as night and day.

"Why, you two looked as though you're gonna strangled each other", said Marik, a smirk tracing his face. Then he added "Not that it's unusual or what". Isis was looking at them reprovingly.

Not wanting to deal with this, Yami Bakura allowed Ryou to regain control. Yami muttered something about being a coward and also allowed Yugi to regain control.

"I hope nothing really bad happen", said Ryou with a resign look.

"Don't worry, we stopped it just in time. I wonder what brings you two here?" asked Isis, who understand their situation well.

"Oh I just happen to pass by and decided to take a look", said Yugi. "Then I ran into Bakura".

"Well I'm looking for a summer job and there's a notice that there's a temporary vacancies here, right?" asked Bakura.

Marik rolled his eyes. Why would he want such a boring job anyway? Then Marik remembered that Bakura's father was an archeologist. They probably shared the same trait.

"Are you sure you want the job, Bakura?" asked Isis. "We're gonna travel to other places this summer".

"That's fine. I'm used to it anyway. And I've experience with these stuffs".

"Well, alright then. You can have the job. It's quite easy actually. You just need to help with the preparations for a new exhibition."

"Hey then can't I worked here for the summer too?" saked Yugi, thinking that the job fits his summer plans perfectly.

"Huh? You want the job too? asked Marik, wondering what could be so attractive about handling dusty artifacts.

"Well Yugi, if you're sure about it, then you can have it too. But we're moving by the end of this week so made sure you're ready by then", said Isis with a smile.

"Oh no problem", said Yugi and Bakura simultaneously.

'This might gets interesting', Marik thought to himself. Maybe it's not gonna be so boring after all, with The Tomb Robber and Pharoah tagging along.

Both Yugi and Bakura were heading for the exit before Yugi suddenly realized he still did not know where they're going.

"Er, Isis you forgot to tell me where we are traveling to"

But Marik answered the question "England"
