Yugi nods and is quiet for most of the rest of the way to the Bakura residence. Just as Yugi steps up the stoop and raises a hand to knock on the door, Yami halts in mid-step and draws in a sharp 'breath'.

"Well, now we know whether he was learning magic from Malik."

Yugi blinks. "We do?"

Yami nods. "There are wards around the house, anchored to its threshold. It's not Malik's work, his has a... very distinctive feel to it."

"Uh. They're not violent, are they?" Yugi asks.

Yami arches an eyebrow. "Would Bakura do that?" At an unamused look from Yugi, he says, "I'll check." He closes his eyes, the All-Seeing Eye appearing dimly on his forehead, opening them a moment later as the Eye disappears. "If we're invited in, then no."

Yugi exhales slowly, then knocks. It's a moment before someone comes to answer the door, but come to the door someone does. A man of average height, with shoulder-length, dark grey-violet hair, green eyes, and glasses answers it, smiling when he sees Yugi.

"Yugi-chan," he says. "And Yami-sama. What brings you here?"

"Bakura-san," Yugi answers. "May we come in?"

Bakura-san nods. "Hai. Of course. Come in." He opens the door and steps aside, allowing Yugi and Yami to enter. Yami pauses a bit as he crosses the threshold of the door, but only for a split second. Bakura-san tilts his head at April. "Who's your friend?" He asks.
