Hey everyone. Sorry this took so long, but I managed to get back to my other fic and only got some brainwaves for this recently (with help from Joey Taylor). Bit shorter than the last chapter, but I wanna keep these short, or at least shorter than chapters from Digital Death God. So my original plan of introducing everyone in 2 chapters…kinda got shot down, but things will still work out…I hope.
Also, realised I made some MAJOR screw ups with the first chapter, so that's been re-edited.

On that note, here…we…GO!


Meeting of the Verses Part 2

It had taken a couple of minutes for the new group to calm themselves down, though Joey still had no idea why they had laughed themselves silly when he answered their question.
And it didn't leave him in a good mood.
"What the HELL was so funny about what people know me as?" Seethed Joey, who was getting close to hitting one of the Yugis in front of him. Something that the smallest Yugi noticed.
"Joey, you'll have to forgive my friend here. He didn't mean to act like an ass about that. I think he's just…very amused by hearing your middle name. I hadn't heard it either until now."
"Same for me," stated the other Yugi, who was now sat on the bed waiting for the youngest of the group to return. Joey paled upon hearing that. If their Joey's hadn't told them their middle names, then right now he had effectively sentenced his counterparts to a lot of teasing. He could only hope that they would forgive him.

It wasn't long before he returned to the room, fully washed. After quickly getting changed, the 4 Yugis and Joey headed downstairs for their interroga…breakfast. I meant breakfast. The group was pleasantly surprised to see breakfast ready and waiting on the table as Kaiya walked out of the kitchen, looking decidedly calmer than she did when she left Yugi's bedroom 15 minutes ago.

"Nice to see you all down on time," she said as she took her own place at the table. "Well, I hope you're hungry, because as soon as we're done with this I want explanations from everyone," she declared in a no-nonsense tone that even the group's enemies would have obeyed. Though she was shocked when the whole group replied "Yes mum."
Hey, they may all be from different worlds, but she is still technically their mother…right?

With such a large group, it didn't take long for the food on the table to be cleared into the stomachs of Joey and the 4 Yugi's. Kaiya simply ate her own food while watching the group, as if to make sure they didn't cause any trouble. She waited until everyone had finished eating, before beginning her…interrogation.

"So, are all of you…my son Yugi?"
"Yes."
"No."

Everyone but the tallest Yugi blinked as they looked too had given the negative response, which turned out to be the Yugi dressed in the same clothing as the tallest.

"You're not another Yugi?" asked Kaiya, who looked at him confused. He looked like an older version of her son, yet he said he wasn't Yugi. Her eyes suddenly widened as she remembered what happened to Yugi whenever the spirit took over her son's body!

"Yami?" asked Joey, who appeared to have reached a similar conclusion to Kaiya and was looking just as shocked! The youngest Yugi simply looked amazed that a Yami actually had his own body! However, the response only gave them more questions.

"Well…not exactly," replied the now identified Yami, who seemed to shuffle nervously under the gaze of the Mutou family.

"What do you mean 'not exactly'?" asked the youngest Yugi, who looked confused. How could he be Yami, yet not be at the same time? It was the Yugi in the school uniform that answered the question for everyone.

"You regained your memories?"

Yami simply nodded. Before anything else could be said, the Puzzle around the neck of the Yugi who just spoke flashed, indicating that Yami had taken control.

"You have your memories AND your own body?" Exclaimed a now Yami-possessed Yugi, who looked more than just a little jealous of the other Yami's situation. "That's not fair! How'd you manage it?" He was almost in the other Yami's face at that point, looking more eager than most would have thought possible.

The shorter Yami simply looked over at his inter-dimensional counterpart with a deadpan expression. "My friend, trust me when I say that while having your own body is cool, it is NOT worth the amount of trouble that you end up having to deal with in the end!"

The other Yami's face fell at the fact he wasn't given an answer. "But…your OWN body!"

"And after having to deal with the manipulations of an old buzzard, snakes, Ka beasts that have emerged for me and my friends, witches, wizards, villains, death," Yami's eyes turned downcast for a brief moment at that point, "and bumbling governments for said witches and wizards who have their heads so far up their ass that I am surprised they haven't turned themselves inside out, I truly believe I may have been better off still living in the puzzle!"

His rant was ended by a wooden spoon brought down on the top of his head by an irate Kaiya.

"Watch your language in this house young man! I don't care if you aren't MY Yami, you will not use that language around my child. Are we clear?"
The Yami in question simply nodded, before looking away and muttering something in ancient Egyptian. Needless to say, he promptly stopped after taking another spoon to the head. She may not have understood it, but Kaiya could recognise cursing when she heard it, language barriers need not apply! It was at that point that what Yami had just said clicked in everyone's head.

"Wait-witches and wizards?" Came the confused question from Joey, who was looking at the taller Yugi and his Yami with an expression that was bordering on awe, as was the young Yugi that was sat next to him. "So, what? Those sticks on your waists are your wands" He asked, not really expecting an answer since he thought they were simply pulling his leg.

When the 2 nodded in response, his jaw almost dropped, while the younger Yugi whispered "that is so cool" under his breath, while the remaining Yugi, who took control from his Yami at Joey's question, had both his eyebrows raised in surprise.

The 2 in question both removed their wands for the others to see as Yami started explaining, "Most witches and wizards get their wands when they turn 11 before they go to a school that teaches them how to do magic, but as you can probably guess, circumstances were a little different for us."

Then Yugi spoke up, "Also, the general public has no idea of the existence of witches and wizards. To keep it that way, there are laws that prevent children under the age of 17 to perform magic outside of school." At that, Yami couldn't help but grumble under his breath in ancient Egyptian, earning another hit from the spoon and a glower from Kaiya. At the confused looks from everyone, Yugi explained, "because of an…incident with the American Ministry of Magic, At…Yami is now a 14 year old instead of 5000 years old." Yugi stopped himself from using the Pharaoh's name. He didn't want to cause these people any problems.

Still, his explanation got a chuckle out of the group at the thoughts of a 5000 year old spirit being turned 14, until the youngest Yugi spoke up, "How do they know if you use magic outside of the school?"

Yami sighed before replying, "There's a trace on the wand that will tell the ministry if use magic outside of the school, though since I'm not in MY world, the trace probably doesn't work…" Yami trailed off as he realised what he just said. "The trace won't work here," he repeated, before his face broke into a wide grin that slightly scared some of them, at least until his Yugi spoke up.
"You may be able to use magic here, but I WILL make sure you regret it if you use magic for stupid and pointless things, MISS Pharaoh." This earned him an instant death glare from said Yami and a confused look from the others.

"Yami's name was traditionally used as a girl's name in Ancient Egypt."

This had everyone at the table laughing, while the other Yami's grumbled at how embarrassing it was for them to have girls names. When everyone had calmed down, Kaiya turned to the final Yugi.
"So, are there any differences where you're from?"

As the final Yugi opened his mouth to answer, a knock on the door forced him to stop, though it was the voice that followed that caused the youngest Yugi to freeze and Joey to mutter "this could be trouble" under his breath.

"Yugi, Mrs Mutou? It's Sakura. Anyone home?" Came the voice of Sakura Kinomoto, Yugi and Joey's friend and resident Cardcaptor. The oldest Yugi couldn't help but slightly. He had no clue who it was that was at the door, but he knew when things were about to go crazier than they should. This…was one of those times.


And done. Again, sorry of this chapter seems short, but I'm trying to break this fic down a little so it's easier to write. Seems to be working so far.
Anyway, what did you think? Please, review and leave your opinions and Constructive Criticism. No flames please, as all flames will be used to spit roast Peter Andre.

And on that note, I'm off to get some work done…I swear my pile of assignments doubles every time I turn away from it.
