Disclaimer: Just so you know, Yugi and Rebecca are both 17 but they are slightly taller than they are in the series so they're like Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist. Oh and Ishizu's dreams of her week on the island are also flashbacks, just to make sure that's clarified. I was planning to wait a bit longer for Ishizu to remember everything that happened but because I don't have much planned the next few chapters might be shorter than the first two so I apologise for that and ask for suggestions to help me make this fan fic longer.
Another quick thing. The mistreatment of women appals and sickens me. Such as women being sold into prostitution to pay off family debts, being used as playthings for other people's amusement, women being used as hostages, assaulted, raped, stalked, murdered and underage girls being sold off to men for money. Any man who sexually assaults a woman should be castrated as death is just giving them a quick way out, it's better to have them live the rest of their lives knowing they can never have sex again.
But that's just my opinion.

Ishizu's' Angel.
Previously.
"Rebecca?" Ishizu asked peering over the side of the bed to see Rebecca sprawled on the floor, rubbing her rear. "You still wear strawberry print panties?"
"I'll have you know I wear normal panties just like every other girl," Rebecca grumbled, getting off the floor, dusting the back of her short skirt with a blush colouring her cheeks. "Besides, Yugi said I look cute in strawberry panties,"
"How'd I get in the nurse's office?" Ishizu questioned throwing the sheets off her body.
"You fainted right there in the classroom. Right after that new student Yami Matsuro asked if there was something wrong and to be honest, you looked like you saw a ghost," Rebecca replied. "Do you know Yami from somewhere?"
"No, I don't think I've ever seen him before today. But there's something very familiar about him. I just can't figure out what," Ishizu replied, slipping her indoor shoes on.
And now the Continuation.
Ishizu had managed to avoid being sent home by promising she'd return to the nurse's office if she felt dizzy or faint, Rebecca also promised to keep an eye on her friend. Fortunately she didn't have to face the guys just yet as it was gym class, today the girls had swimming while the boys had basketball. Thought she wasn't in the mood for swimming she still had to change into her school swimsuit, luckily the teacher allowed her to sit at the side of the pool in the shade overlooking the outdoor basketball court. For some reason she found herself looking down at the game searching for one particular boy, he was easy to pick out due to his unusual hair as she found him sitting on the sidelines watching the game itself.
'Who are you? And why do I feel like I know you?' she wondered, remembering the man from her dream and how he spoke with the same deep voice Yami had. 'Why did that dream feel so real? It actually felt like I was holding that starfish. The water in that rock pool felt so real,'
As she continued staring at Yami, he eventually looked in her direction and their eyes locked, almost instantly Ishizu felt familiar waves of warmth and kindness from him. But he looked concern for some reason, his eye were wide open as if he knew something was wrong. She watched as he stood from the bench, calmly making his way past the other boys keeping his eyes locked with hers.
"So who you looking at Ishizu?" came the harsh question from one of the girls, startling Ishizu so much she jumped against the chain link fence that surrounded the pool area, only to feel it give way. She swore she saw Téa Gardner, Tristan's girlfriend smirking as the other girls turned to see the commotion.
"Miss Ishizu!" came Yami's frantic cry as she felt the air rushing past her.
Expecting to hit solid concrete Ishizu was surprised when a pair of strong arms encompassed her body only to follow a softer impact than she expected.
"Are you alright Miss Ishizu?"
Shifting around she failed to suppress a gasp as she gazed into the eyes of Yami Matsuro.
"You're not hurt are you?" he asked again.
"No I'm fine," Ishizu replied, blushing up a storm as she quickly scurried off him. "Have you and I met somewhere before?"
"I don't believe so," he answered, just as the rest of the boys arrived.
"Hey Ishizu, are you alright?" Duke asked as Yami helped her to her feet.
"Yes, I'm fine thanks to Yami," she replied. "I'm lucky he was underneath me,"
"Actually he jumped up and caught you in midair," Joey said. "I've never seen anyone jump that high before,"
"I guess it was lucky I was on my way over when I saw her fall," Yami replied, feeling uncomfortable with all the attention he was receiving.
"Well whatever the case son, we're just happy you caught her. She could have been badly injured, I'm just wondering how that fencing broke?" the teacher wondered, looking up at the missing section of chain link fence.
'It didn't break. Someone cut it so it would come apart if someone were to lean too hard against it,' Yami thought, looking directly at Téa Gardner even as she hid her anger with feigned concern.
"The bitch deserves to die after what she did to Tristan!" Téa shouted in sudden rage.
"Miss Gardner watch your language," the teacher ordered.
"Oh fuck you teach! I only care about mucking up Ishizu's face for what she did!" Téa swore. "All she had to do was fall into my trap and die then I would have been happy!"
"Wait a stinking minute here! You're saying you're the one who caused Ishizu to fall?" Serenity demanded, all the girls had run down from the pool to check out the action.
"That's right I did it! I cut the fence so Ishizu would fall and die! She seduced my Tristan and now he's in prison with his genitals missing!" Téa continued to shout.
"I didn't do anything! He asked me out and tried to feel me up at the gate, then he and his buddies kidnapped me, tied me up and raped me! I have no idea how their genitals were removed!" Ishizu snapped, tired of hearing Tristan's bitch rant and rave.
"There's no way Tristan would want some harlot over me! You seduced him and now you're going to pay!" Téa roared, trying to punch Ishizu in the face only to be pinned to the ground by Kaiba and Joey. "Fucking assholes! Let go of me!"
"Sorry to tell you this but we don't take kindly to someone who tries to kill our friends," Joey replied, keeping her from struggling too much.
"There aren't many tools that will cut through a chain link fence that you can carry around. My guess is you hid it in your towel then sunk out of the change room while everyone was changing, so you haven't had the time to dispose of the evidence," Kaiba added, glaring down at her.
Sure enough they teachers found a pair of wire cutters wrapped in Téa's towel, when the police came to take her away she was surprisingly forthcoming with her questioning, too bad it was Odion and Marik who were called to the school. Serenity and Rebecca kept an eye on Ishizu for the rest of the day while Duke, Joey, Yugi and Kaiba kept away anyone else they thought might want their friend hurt. Yami on the other hand was congratulated by the principal and Ishizu's brothers, Téa just sat in their squad car glaring at everyone though it was hard to look threatening while she was still wearing her school swimsuit.
Ishizu's Dream.
She was on that island again walking beside the faceless man as he showed her the rest of his vast property, he was taking her through the interior of the island when she spotted several white faced monkeys in a fruit tree about her size. (The tree not the monkeys). The man looked over at her with the same caring smile and approached the tree, holding his arm out while grabbing a plum with his other hand. She watched as one of the cute little critters climbed onto the man's out-stretched arm as he held the plum for her to take.
"It's alright, they're quite tame," he said as the monkey on his arm looked at her inquisitively.
Taking the plum from his hand Ishizu raised her opposite arm to the monkey to climb on while holding the fruit within its view, with an inquisitive squeal the monkey hopped from the man's arm to hers then climbed up and sat on her shoulder, wrapping its tail around her neck for support.
"I think that mean he likes you," he said, amusement clearly laced in his voice.
End of Dream.
"Ishizu? Ishizu!"
"Huh? What?" Ishizu replied, blinking to clear the confusion from her mind.
"Are you sure you're ok? You've been spacing out ever since we changed back into our uniforms," Serenity said, placing a comforting hand on Ishizu's shoulder where they sat on the locker room benches.
"No, I'm fine, just had a strange dream about monkeys that's all," Ishizu replied, gazing at the floor.
"Monkeys?" Rebecca repeated.
"Yeah, and the guy from my first dream was there again, I couldn't clearly see his face just his mouth. But something told me I was safe with him and that smile made me want to melt," Ishizu shivered when she remembered the smile.
"Must have been one heck of a smile," Rebecca mused, exiting the locker room with Ishizu only to collide with none other than Yami. "Well if it isn't the big hero, you must feel so proud of yourself,"
"Rebecca! That wasn't nice," Ishizu chided. "Sorry she just thinks you're dangerous or something, even though you saved me,"
"It's alright, I was actually looking for the two of you. Your friends were wondering when you'd be finished so they asked me to come check on you," Yami answered, acting as if he were unaffected by Rebecca's sarcasm. "Also they seem to need help restraining Yugi, your friend Seto keeps making fun of his height,"
"That's Seto Kaiba for you," Rebecca groaned. "Come on you two, let's go save my boyfriend,"
The whole time Yami was walking beside her Ishizu felt the same familiarity as in her dreams with the faceless man, even his smile was the same.
"Is there something wrong Ishizu?" Yami asked, noticing she was staring a lot.
"I'm not sure. You see I don't remember anything about the week I was gone or who saved me from Tristan. But lately I've been having these weird dreams where I'm on an island with this handsome man, but I can't see his face only his smile. You smile just like him," she replied, gazing into his eyes. "Are you sure we haven't met before today?"
"I'm afraid not," he answered.
Midnight.
Ishizu's Dream.
She was on the island again this time two days had passed, she and the faceless man were having a picnic but he had fallen asleep under the sun. She had grown comfortable without underwear and he was a complete gentleman, the day after playing with the monkeys she had gotten a bit dirty so he allowed her to take a bath in a pond in the centre of the island. He had moved to behind a tree while she removed the dress and wadded into the cool water, she couldn't help but smile in delight as she went deeper into the pond to where the water was up to her stomach. After she had finished she was surprised to see a towel next to her folded up dress, she assumed he had gone back to the house and retrieved it and came back while she was bathing. But she hadn't been in the water that long so how had he gotten there and back so quickly? Her answer came after he had dozed off during their picnic, she had gone wandering when she spotted a bird's egg in a branch below its nest on the side of a cliff. Concern she started climbing to retrieve the egg, she was half way up when her foot slipped but as she still hadn't been able to utter a single sound, nothing came from her mouth when she dropped, grabbing a thick branch before she fell to her death.
'I can't believe this. I still can't speak, Yami won't find me in time. Please Yami help me!' she thought before screaming at the top of her lungs. "Yami help me!"
"Ishizu, it's alright. I'm right behind you, I've got you," Yami said, wrapping his arms around her waist. "You can let go now, you won't fall,"
"But how?" she asked, turning to look at him only to gasp as she saw a pair of pure white wings protruding from his back holding him in mid air.
"What were you doing up here?" he asked, his smile never leaving his face.
"I was trying to return that egg to its nest," she answered, one hand flying to her throat. 'I can speak again,'
"It seems you've found your voice, I'm glad. Now wait here, I'll put the egg where it belongs," he said, moving his arms from around her waist.
It was only when she realised she wasn't falling that her feet were touching the ground. Once he returned to the ground after placing the egg back in its nest, Ishizu could finally see his face. She then realised in the five days she had been with him he had grown a special place in her heart something she didn't think she could feel so soon after her rape experience.
"Is something wrong Ishizu?" Yami asked, his wings still present on his back.
"Yami I love you!" she exclaimed, leaping into his arms and capturing his lips with hers.
End of Dream.
Disclaimer: If you think I'm mean for ending the chapter at this point then you're right, I could have stretched this out a bit more but I wanted to end it with a cliff hanger. I'm not sure where I'm going to be taking the next chapter though, I might it the last one, and I'm still trying to decide what Yami and Ishizu are going to do. But I will explain the extent of Yami's powers and how he got them. Comments needed as are suggestions and reviews must be submitted before clicking the back icon. See you in chapter 4.
