And, now, on to chapter 10!

Chapter 10

New Developments!

"That's not Yami!"

Yugi couldn't stop the trembling in his body as he stared ahead of him. The figure before him stood to its feet, beautiful, white wings spreading to a length of no less than fifteen feet as the feathers danced with sparkles from the sun reflecting off of them. Golden orbs locked onto his own, staring in complete shock and confusion. Pure white clothing clung to the figure, who stared at it like it was a foreign object.

Finally, the figure looked up at Yugi once more and whispered his name.

"Y-Yami?" Yugi replied in a quiet voice.

//Yugi.//

The angel's knees gave way from under him, causing him to collapse, but not before Yami appeared right behind him in a flash and gently lowered him to the ground.

As Yugi stared up at the newly transformed Yami, he had a conversation with Ra in his head.

What happened?

Your friend has proven himself. The demonic side of him has lifted.

But-But I thought demons couldn't be turned into angels.

Ah, Young One, that's where you're wrong. An angel does not have the ability to change a demon into an angel, but I do.

Thank you, Father.

You're quite welcome, Yugi.

"Yugi!" Yami's voice rang out, cutting through his thoughts. "Are you all right?"

Small arms wrapped around his neck as Yugi pulled the former demon into a tight embrace.

"Did you mean it?" he whispered.

Yami, puzzled, allowed his arms to encircle the younger angel's waist as he asked, "What are you talking about, Aibou?"

"When you died . . . you said that Lucifer was wrong and that you loved me," Yugi stammered. "Was-Was that the truth?"

A small sigh escaped Yami's lips as he pulled his hikari closer to himself and nuzzled his face into his look-alike's hair. Yugi smiled slightly as he closed his eyes, allowing Yami to keep a firm grip on him.

"I was being completely honest, Yugi," came a faint whisper. "I would never lie about something like that."

The kiss was unexpected, but it held so much meaning for both the young men that they didn't let up until breathing was becoming a problem. Pulling away, Yugi's face immediately turned beat red, unbelievingly watching Yami and consciously hoping that it hadn't been a dream or some strange, sick, and twisted joke.

'Only Bakura would do that anyway,' Yugi thought, waiting for Yami's reaction to the whole situation.

"Yugi, I've always known that you were an angel. You were too innocent not to be," Yami said, smiling slightly. "Unfortunately, I've had a talk with Ra and he's agreed that I may stay on Earth. After all, I've just recently gotten my body back. I still have so much to learn. I understand that you'll be leaving, though, Aibou."

The hikari paled, knowing his yami's words were true.

Young One, it is time.

Can-Can I have just one more day, Father? Yugi pleaded. I-I can't just leave him like this.

Of course, my son.

Yami's angel form disappeared completely, his regular leather clothes clinging to him like nothing had ever happened. Yugi smiled, but it was too small to be real. He used his power to appear as he had before any of this had ever happened, causing a startled look to overtake Yami's features.

"I have a day to spend with you, Yami," Yugi explained, keeping his gaze fixed on the former demon. "I leave tomorrow night."

Yami nodded, understandingly as he stopped fighting his emotions and pulled Yugi into a tight embrace. Yami buried his face in his aibou's tri-colored hair that matched his own so closely as Yugi allowed himself to nuzzle his head underneath of Yami's chin, sighing contentedly.

(Kame Game Shop)

It was quite some time before Yugi and Yami returned to the Game Shop, both relishing in each other's presence as much as possible. Yugi lay next to his yami in bed, both with their clothes on, Yami's arm protectively wrapped around his waist. The small angel refused to close his eyes, knowing tomorrow would be the last day he'd be able to see his love for quite some time.

11:11 pm the clock read as Yugi's amber eyes, glazed over with tears, stared at it.

'They say to make a wish when the clock says 11:11pm, and it'll come true. Maybe, just maybe.'

Yugi closed his eyes tightly, a million thoughts flooding through his mind, but only one sticking out more than the others.

'Please, let me stay with Yami.'

(The Next Night)

The day had gone by far too quickly than either of them would've liked. When it all came down to it, though, Yugi still had to prepare to leave to cross back over to the other side. Yami watched from the door as Yugi transformed back into his angel state, calmly walking outside with his aibou for the last time. Yami stuffed his hands in his pockets, hoping to hide the fact that they were shaking. Two crumpled pieces of paper touched his fingers, reminding him of what he needed to do.

"Yugi," he whispered, afraid his voice would squeak with emotion.

His winged friend turned towards him, a curious look on his face as Yami shoved the two papers into his hands, then took off running into the shop, refusing to allow Yugi to see his weakness.

Yugi remained outside of the Game Shop, staring at his hand that was gripping the papers like they were a lifeline, and maybe they were. Casting a sad glance back at his former home, Yugi spread his white wings and glided gracefully into the sky, soon becoming a speck among the clouds. From the window in Yugi's old bedroom, a curtain closed as a pharaoh mourned for the loss of his best friend and love.

A/N: Finally! Another chapter finished! WARNING: THIS IS NOT THE END! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT THE END! There will be two or three more chapters. But first, everyone must R&R!
