Crystaline: Hey! Sorry for the really long wait.
Atemu: (Walks in) Hey, Crysty! Hey...Who the hell are you, cat boy?
Ritsuka: I'm Ritsuka.
Crystaline: Yeah..About Ritsuka...While I was working on this chapter...I fell in love with another anime & manga. Tell them, 'Suka!
Ritsuka: Don't call me that. Anyway. I'm from an anime and manga called Loveless. And, surprisingly, it's a shonen-ai shojo anime & manga.
Atemu: Translation?
Crystaline: A Boy x boy aimed-for-girls anime & manga.
Atemu: (Is shocked)
Crystaline: Yeah. I don't hate Yaoi anymore. BUT I STILL HATE YU-GI-OH YAOI COUPLES! ESPECIALLY PUZZLESHIPPING!
Atemu: And by the way, Crysty doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh. That's owned by Kazuki Takahashi.
Ritsuka: And she doesn't own Loveless either.
Crystaline: I hope you all enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 11 Wings of Faith
Here..." Anzu said, holding a blank, silver cartouche in her hand, "I want you to have this..." Atemu took it, both of them blushing at the fact that they held hands for a moment. "Wh..What is this?" He asked. "It's a Cartouche." Anzu said, "Pharaohs in Egypt would inscribe their name on them, so I bought it for you. Please. When you get there, inscribe your name in it. If you do, you'll never forget it again.." Atemu looked at Anzu completely enthraled about the gift he had just received. "I want to learn your name, too.." Anzu whispered. Atemu heard her whisper and smiled brighter. "Thank you, Anzu." He said. "I'll treasure it always!"
"Oh..Okay!" Anzu responded.
That memory was so dear to Atemu. And so was that Cartouche. It read "Atemu" in hieroglyphs, and on the back it read 'Atemu loves Anzu' in a lovely cursive-like font. Now the item he held so dear was torn off by Lilac. While they stood there, frozen, Lilac took the chance to 'break Anzu's spell'.
..She kissed Atemu.
Atemu shoved the spoiled girl from Egypt into the water again. He looked out by the hospital door, then at Lilac. He then took a double-take back near the door.
There stood Anzu. Shocked at what they just did. "Anzu.." Atemu started, "I–."
He was interrupted by Lilac shoving a dagger into his back. "HA! DIE, YOU TRAITOR!" She yelled as she removed the dagger. Atemu fell into the water. His eyes were closed at his back bled, and his angel wings vanished. "No!" Anzu yelled, "Atemu!" She began crying as she clenched her sides. "Ahh!" There was a searing pain in her back. "AAAAHHHH!" Anzu yelled. A tearing sound was heard as she fell to her knees.
Angel wings had torn though her flesh and her shirt, covered in blood. Anzu saw the wings and flapped them once. Blood went flying onto the ground. Lilac was stunned. "N-no!" she said, "You couldn't be that tied to Atemu!" Atemu slowly opened his eyes and saw Anzu with the blood stained Angel wings. Even though it shouldn't be what Atemu should do while his beloved dancer was like that, Atemu smiled. "So we have that strong of a bond, huh?" He thought. He would have said it, but he was too weak to do so. "She's got my wings of faith." Atemu's hand began glowing. He was healing himself, but Lilac and Anzu didn't notice this. Anzu stood back up as more blood dropped onto the ground. "How-?" She questioned. She then had someone teleport her to what looked like a stairway. It was going into the clouds. "Could..This be heaven?" Anzu questioned again.
"Yes, Anzu." a voice said. Anzu turned around and was shocked at who it was. "TEANA?!" She said. Teana nodded. "You have a bond with Atemu that you shouldn't break." She said. "You have gained Atemu's wings though a spell that will only activate to the people with the most strongest bonds."
"What spell?"
"It's called the 'Wings of Faith'. I was going to tell you when you came into heaven, but you have gained it now." Teana quicky vanished. "Wait! Tell me more! Don't leave me hanging here! TEANA!"
Anzu was back outside the hospital. Lilac flew at her. Anzu carefully dodged.
After several punches from Lilac, and several dodges from Anzu, Atemu got back up and punched her. "ATEMU!" Anzu said smiling and flying with the blood-stained wings. Atemu landed, not having his angel wings, onto the ground. "Wow, Anzu." He said, "You look great with angel wings on your back." He said smiling.
"I'm frikkin' tired of you two!" Lilac screeched. "Your coming with me to the Shadow Realm!" Lilac flew past Atemu and grabbed his leg as she summoned up a portal to that dark place that could drive people insane. "NO! ATEMU!" Anzu yelled. As Lilac flew though with Atemu following. As Anzu grabbed his hand and began flapping the wings as quick as she could. She stopped Atemu from going into the Shadows. "I won't let you leave me again!" she said. "AH!" Atemu yelled. Lilac was tugging on him as well. He looked at Anzu as tears formed in his amethyst eyes, which were swimming with sadness and pain. "If I never come back to this world, my love, I'm happy the last sight of this world that I see is you." He said. Anzu's grip began slipping as Atemu willingly began to let go. "No!"Anzu said. Both Atemu and Anzu had tears flowing down their cheeks.
Her grip was fading as Atemu closed his eyes. "I'll miss you.." Atemu said, "And I love you, Anzu. I've loved you ever since I saw you for the first time. When I came out by the amusement park's pool, I was going to tell you how I felt, but before I knew it, I was leaving to the Afterlife, and I lost my chance." Atemu began crying even more that Anzu was. "And when I came back as an angel, I knew that chance was lost for good. But now that I've told you, I' m afraid we cannot be. I-I...I'M SORRY!" The grip Anzu had on Atemu's hand was lost as he flew into the Shadow Realm portal that Lilac summoned. "NO! ATEMU!" Anzu fell to the ground as both the portal and the blood stained wings vanished. Anzu continued crying. Rico walked out of the hospital to see her in such a position. "Anzu..?" he said. Anzu could hear the fear in his voice. Anzu got up. "D-Don't even ask that, Rico.." she said. "But...Anzu..."He said. Rico reached over to help her, but she ran off. "ANZU!" He yelled, "WHAT EVER I JUST DID WRONG, I'M SORRY!"

Crystaline: Thanks for bandaging up my hand Ritsuka.
Ritsuka: Hey, when your hands are red from typing, you need to bandage them. Keep that in mind.
Atemu: Hey, can you stay for the rest of the commentary, Ristuka?
Ritsuka: Sure. (Blushes) ...Can I invite Soubi?
Crystaline: Sure! I don't see why not.
Ritsuka: YES! (Runs off to get Soubi)
