Fallen Angel
Chapter 14. Friends or enemies?
I dont mean to be a pain and I know that its ok if I ask but does anyone have any ideas for two dreams that Yugi can have as an angel? I have one but I want him to have that one when he gets home. Note that they wont be written like his first dream it will just be a brief summary of the dream because that's how I've written one of them already. I just need two and then I can move on with the story.
And now …the continuation!
The gang had decided to use the kitchens in the take away shops and use the food from inside the grocery shops. Since they were only making breakfast they just decided to get cereal and milk. They also got some bowls and spoons.
As they ate, they were careful to keep their gloves on, and when they were finished they washed up everything with the detergents that the kitchens kept.
They were finished within 15 to 20 minutes, and afterwards, when they were done cleaning up, Eligh decided to show Yugi how to pick a lock. Joey and Tristan tagged along too so they could learn. The others waited for them and spoke about the second most recent event; Yugi and his past. They made sure that they weren't close enough for him to hear.
Eligh got out the bobby pin that he had placed in his pocket, and bent down to be more level with the lock of the shop. It was a small chemist. Yugi bent down too to see what exactly he was doing.
A couple of clicks later and the door was unlocked.
"You'll know when you've unlocked it because you'll feel something unlike the previous clicks inside the lock. Now come over here, and Yugi you can have ago." said Eligh as he opened the chemist door to prove that he did unlock it. They walked over a jewelers store and Eligh gives the bobby pin to Yugi.
Yugi kneeled down on the ground because his back was a little sore from bending down for so long and he attempted to unlock the lock. Joey, Tristan and Eligh watched him fiddle around inside the lock.
Over with the rest of the gang, they were still talking about Yugi being an angel.
"But what if he has to leave like you did?" Tea asked Atem.
"If he has to leave like I did, then there's nothing we can do. We might not want him to go but we cant stop him from going either." answered Atem.
"Well, what's going to happen if he doesn't leave? What is he just going to stay an angel down here or will he be human again?" Mai asked Sharay.
"I don't know. Something like this has never happened before. That's why Eligh and I aren't even sure if him seeing us would bring back any memories or not. We don't know when he'll get his wings, we don't know when he'll get his memories back, we don't even know if he will. All we can do is hope that he does." she answered.
"Hope that he does? But what if we don't want him to be an angel? What if we just want him to be human? What if we just want him to live a normal life like the rest of us?" asked Tea as she fought back a few tears that were welling up inside her eyes.
"I know where you're coming from Tea, trust me. But if he doesn't get his wings, every angel will either be enslaved or killed because we have no one to defend us. Every angel alive put together isn't enough to bring down the legendary demon, there's only Yugi. If he doesn't get his wings, not only will every angel die or be enslaved, but earth will be repopulated by demon's. Everything you humans live for will be lost, and every human will be saved for food or amusement. We need Yugi. Not only for our survival, but for everyone's survival." answered Sharay.
"I just don't want him to get hurt." said Tea. Atem felt sympathetic for he so he got up and placed an arm around he shoulder, and she turned to hug him as she cried. Atem felt himself blush but he couldn't do anything about it so he rested his head on hers.
"Tea c'mon. lets go to the bathroom and calm you down before Yugi comes back ok." said Mai. Tea nodded and she and Mai left to go to the bathrooms.
"So what now?" asked Duke.
"There's nothing we can do for Yugi. He's like a tadpole now." said Bakura.
"A tadpole?" repeated Atem.
"Yes a tadpole. We can't help him find his past and there's nothing we can do to speed up the process of him gaining his wings. The only thing we can do is act normal and pretend that we don't know he's an angel. We do that, and eventually he wont be a tadpole anymore he'll be a frog. Or in his case an angel." replied Bakura.
"If only it was as simple as you put it Bakura." said Sharay.
"Is that meant to mean anything?" asked Duke.
"Think about it. If we just had to wait for Yugi then it would be as simple as Bakura put it. But instead, his life is in danger and he doesn't know why." answered Sharay.
They looked over at Yugi and saw Eligh trying to teach Tristan. Yugi managed to unlock the lock he started with along with two more shops. It was now Tristan's go and Joey watched, surprisingly quietly.
Tristan soon gave up and gave Joey a turn. Joey kneeled down to one knee and started to pick the lock Tristan was having trouble with.
Yugi soon decided to go see the rest of the gang. He noticed Tea wasn't there, and neither was Mai but this didn't really worry him. He did still ask however.
"They went to the bathroom." answered Atem.
"Oh ok." said Yugi.
"So how's the pick locking coming along?" asked Sharay.
"Not so good for Joey and Tristan. As for me, well I learnt a new skill." answered Yugi.
Tea and Mai then came back and joined them. Tea didn't look like she had been crying though her eyes were a little red.
"Yu-Yugi. Hi how's the pick locking coming?" asked Tea.
"Good for me, not so well for Joey and Tristan." answered Yugi.
"Figures." said Mai.
The gang watched Joey try to unlock the lock and fail, but luckily for them he was determined, so it gave them a little bit of entertainment. Until they got bored.
"I know, lets play Random Q." suggested Yugi.
"What's random q?" asked Sharay.
"It's a game Yugi started a while ago." answered Duke.
"Each person takes a turn in asking someone a random question." explained Bakura.
"Oh really? Well I'm in but shouldn't we wait for them?" Sharay asked, referring to Eligh, Tristan and Joey.
"Tristan looks like he's just watching, Joey gets really determined when he starts something and they'll probably need all the help they can get. If we waited for them we'd never start the game." answered Duke.
"Ok, so how do we determine who goes first?" asked Sharay.
"Lucky for us I all ways bring my dice." Duke answered as he brought out a die from his pocket.
"One problem. A die only has six numbers and there's eight of us." said Tea.
"I know. Rebecca and I are going to wait and each of you are going to be given a number and what number is rolled first, its that persons go. Ok?" explained Duke.
"Hang on. Why is it you and me that have to wait?" asked Rebecca.
"Me because I don't want to go first and you because I know you don't want to go first." answered Duke.
"Oh ok."
"Ok. Sharay, you'll be 1. Yugi will be 2. Atem will be 3, Tea will be 4, Bakura will be 5 and Mai is 6. Remember your numbers." Duke said as he rolled the die. Everyone watch closely, and then it stopped and landed on…3, Atem's number.
"So Atem's first." Duke said as put away his die.
"So how do we determine who goes second?" asked Sharay.
"Who ever Atem asks goes second and it just keeps going until we get over it really." answered Yugi.
"Ok, umm. Tea, how's your dream coming along?" asked Atem.
"Ok I guess…" answered Tea but was interrupted by Tristan who had decided to come over and join in. He sat himself next to Tea, who by the way was seated next to Atem, who in turn was next to Yugi who was next Sharay. Then it went Duke, Bakura, Rebecca and lucky last, Tristan. They were all sitting in a circle facing each other.
"You guess? She won quite a few dancing competitions. She's acing her Dance classes at school and she auditioned for "So you think you can Dance." and she would have gotten in but she was one year too young and has been told to audition again next year." said Tristan.
"That's great news Tea." said Atem.
"So you want to be a dancer?" asked Sharay.
"Yeah. It's been my dream since I was a child." answered Tea, slightly blushing.
"Well I agree with Atem. I think it's great how you're going after your dream." said Sharay.
"Yeah. Anyway, my turn. Atem, now that your alive again, what are you going to do now?" asked Tea.
"I honestly don't know. What ever life has planned for me I guess. Duke. What's your next move for your game?" asked Atem.
"I don't know. I'm thinking of maybe starting a Dice monsters tournament. It'll be the same as a duel monsters tournament just it will be based on Dungeon Dice monsters." answered Duke.
"That sounds awesome Duke." said Yugi.
"You're more than welcome to enter it Yugi." said Duke.
"Aha. I appreciate the offer Duke but I'm kind of famous enough as it is. That and I'm not really looking towards entering any tournaments right now." answered Yugi.
"Ok. Well the offer still stands if you change your mind. Now Sharay, what brings you and Eligh here to Japan?" asked Duke. Sharay looked a little surprise that she was being asked a question. She thought it pretty dangerous to be asked a question in front of Yugi but she had to answer it even if Eligh wasn't exactly with her at the moment. She quickly had to think of an answer and she hoped to god that Eligh didn't say anything to Yugi about why they might have come here, and if he hadn't, then she could tell him what she told them and then they could make up a whole scenario to tell them if they ever asked in front of Yugi. She couldn't believe she and Eligh didn't think of this earlier.
"Umm. Eligh and I decided to come to Japan to …work. Our parent's have been saving up since we were kids and then something happened and we got the money after a few weeks and we came here to start a new life. We've been looking for apartments lately and we finally found the perfect one for us." said Sharay, hoping that it sounded real enough. Right then Eligh came and thankfully he heard what Sharay said.
"True story." he said as he came to sit in between Sharay and Duke. "What are you doin?"
"We're playing Random Q. You can play too. It's Sharay's turn right now and the person she asks a question to answers it and then asks someone else a question." answered Bakura.
"Oh right. Well then, take it away Sharay." said Eligh.
"Ok. Umm Atem. Do you miss being Pharaoh?" asked Sharay.
"Do I miss being Pharaoh? Umm, hard to say. In a way I do miss it because for a short period of time, Egypt was my home and I looked out for it. I protected it and felt that I had a connection to it. But then again, I was in danger almost all the time so that was annoying. Not to mention the small arguments between my staff that happened almost everyday. I suppose I miss being pharaoh, but it's honestly something I don't tend to think about. I'm happy here. My turn…umm Eligh. How did you learn to pick lock?"
"I learnt it when I was young by our father, who was a cop at the time. Yugi, how well do you think you are at pick locking?"
"I think I'm doing ok. Eligh, why?"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to have a race to see whose faster at opening shops."
"You're on." said Yugi.
"Joey will want to know this. HEY JOEY! YUGI AND ELIGH ARE GOING TO HAVE A RACE TO SEE WHOSE FASTER AT OPENING SHOPS." called Tristan.
"OK COOL. ONE PROBLEM. DERE'S ONLY ONE BOBBY PIN." called back Joey as he looked back at the group and started to walk back.
"I have another one." said Rebecca as she pulled one out from her hair and gave it to Yugi. Yugi took it and thanked her, which caused her to blush. Joey gave the one he had to Eligh and they all stood up.
"Ok. I'll go with Eligh with the stop watch on my phone and Tea or Rebecca or anyone else with a stop watch on their phone will go with Yugi and the first to five wins. We'll return here when we're done." said Bakura.
"I'll go with Yugi." Tea said as she got out her phone.
"Ok and you both don't need us to be with you so we'll wait here." said Sharay.
"Ok. You know what your doing?" asked Atem. He got a nod from both Yugi and Eligh, which told him that they knew what they were doing. "Ok, then …go!"
At that, they were off, Bakura following Eligh, who went right, and Tea following Yugi, who went left. About 10 minutes later and the four returned and showed the results.
"Yugi's total was…42.8 seconds." said Tea, adding up the laps.
"Eligh's total was…37.7 seconds." said Bakura, also adding up the laps.
"You're good Yugi, but I'm a little better." said Eligh.
"I figured you would be, I've only learned tonight, you learnt years ago."said Yugi
"So what do we do now?" asked Mai.
"Yugi unlocked a costume shop. We could go have fun there." suggested Tea.
"Ooh. That sounds like fun." said Sharay.
"Yeah, lets go." said Tristan. And with that said, they left for the costume shop.
They soon arrived and walked through it. Inside was really big. Everywhere there were clothes on racks. There were party clothes, formal clothes, dress up clothes for all ages. Everything.
Joey, Mai, Bakura, Tea, Yugi, Tristan and Sharay were the one's that decided to go dress up. Rebecca, Atem and Eligh stayed near the counter and waited.
About half an hour later, they came back. First to show was Joey, who had dressed up as a knight. His outfit came with a pretend sword and a pretend shield too. He wore silvery shoes, silvery fake armor that wasn't pointed so as to not hurt anyone and a helmet. It was easy to move around in and there was plenty of room inside.
"Aha. Joey Wheeler, the brave knight…" started Joey from inside his helmet but stopped when the eye piece closed over his eyes. He lifted it back up and saw Mai in front of him dressed up as a vampire queen. She wore a crimson mini skirt with a crimson shirt that hugged her neck and arms up to her hands. The skirt had like a crimson tale like thing that dragged on the floor (the tale like thing that Rosso wears in Final Fantasy Dirge of Cerberus). She also wore red stockings.
"YEEE AHHHHHHH! A VAMPIRE!" yelled Joey, running away.
"SOME BRAVE KNIGHT JOEY!" called Mai, chasing after him. This made Atem, Eligh and Rebecca laugh. Soon Bakura came out dressed as a wizard; Tea and Sharay were belly dancers, Tea dressed in pink while Sharay was dressed in light blue; and Yugi and Tristan were dressed as some kind of knightish princes. They had long capes and a hat that had a single long feather on the top. They both had long, thin, plastic swords too.
Tristan playfully hit Yugi's sword and Yugi quickly caught on and retaliated by hitting Tristan's sword as they both engaged in a sword fight.
Tea and Sharay decided to play around with Bakura and walked up to him and started to dance around him. The look on Bakura's face was priceless and it made Atem, Eligh and Rebecca laugh.
Now with Atem's eyes closed as he was laughing, Tea decided to take the opportunity to drag him of the counter and start dancing around him. He soon stopped laughing and his face grew a light pink tinge to it.
Sharay soon stopped dancing and laughed at Bakura, who was blushing. She soon got over it and looked over at Yugi, who was enjoying himself as he playfully fought with Tristan. She then looked at Atem, then Eligh and Rebecca before whispering something in Bakura's ear.
"Hey. Atem, Eligh and Rebecca are the only one's who haven't dressed up. Do you think we should get them to dress up too?"
"Maybe. But what if they don't want to?" whispered Bakura.
"That's the fun." whispered Sharay as she and Bakura walked over to Yugi and Tristan and stopped them from fighting before telling them that they were going to try get Atem, Rebecca and Eligh to dress up.
They agreed and went to find Joey and Mai. Sharay dragged Tea away and told her while Bakura waited with Atem.
Soon all that were dressed up were huddled together and Atem was back with Eligh and Rebecca, wandering what they were planning.
"What do you think they're saying?" asked Rebecca.
"Evil little Yugi's over there scheming something on us I know it." answered Atem.
"Yeah I wouldn't trust Sharay over there either." said Eligh.
Soon those that were dressed up walked towards the trio that weren't and eyed them carefully. Bakura left to go get the costumes that they had told him to get. Eligh watched Sharay and Atem watched Yugi while Rebecca looked nervous.
"Hey do you think Eligh would look good if we dressed him up as sexy red devil. Horns, tail and that little pitchfork thing comes with it?" asked Sharay.
"Oh your not…" started Eligh.
"Don't know. Maybe we should put it on him and find out. What do you think Atem would look like as a police officer?" asked Yugi.
"You wouldn't…" started Atem.
"I think he would look good as a police officer, I think he would look even better if he dressed up as Mr. Playboy himself though." said Tea.
"Really? I think he should get into a cowboy costume." said Tristan.
"Think what you will, but I think dat Rebecca should be in one of dose mini playboy bunny dresses." said Joey.
"Are you crazy? I…" started Rebecca.
"There's only one way to find out." said Mai.
"Hey guys. Look at what I found." said Bakura as he came back with the costumes that were previously said. Atem, Eligh and Rebecca looked around those that were in front of them and at Bakura. Sharay picked up the little Devil's suit and checked the size inside.
"And it's his size too." she said as she showed it to him.
"Oh how cute. Look Rebecca it looks to be your size." said Mai as she picked up the mini playboy bunny dress and showed it to her.
"Here we go. Take your pick. Which one do you think you'll look better in? We have the police officer suit." said Yugi holding the suit in his hands.
"The cowboy suit." said Tristan as he held up the cowboy costume.
"Or the Hugh Hephners Tux. C'mon Atem you can be my Mr. Playboy." said Tea with a flirtaceous wink.
"Uhhh… um." was all Atem could say.
"Maybe we should run for it." suggested Eligh to Rebecca and Atem. They agreed and they ran for it. The other's chased them through the shop.
Eventually they somehow managed to get in a clothes fight, where they would hide behind clothes racks and try and sneak up on someone they found and playfully throw a piece of clothing from a rack at them.
They soon got tired and decided to rest. They laughed too. They couldn't believe they were actually in a shop throwing clothes at each other and not getting in trouble for it. They soon decided that it was getting late so those that were dressed went to go chance into their normal clothes and those that weren't started to clean up the mess.
When those that were dressed finished they helped the trio that weren't. When they were done they left to find a bed shop. When they found one Eligh picked the lock and they chose where they wanted to sleep. Mai and Joey chose one of the double beds at the back as did Eligh and Sharay. Bakura, Yugi, Tristan, Duke, Rebecca and Bakura had single beds, while Atem and Tea were forced to sleep in a double bed together. Not that they minded though. Rebecca obviously chose a single bed that was next to Yugi's. Bakura was in the single bed on Yugi's other side and Tristan was on Bakura's other side and Duke was on the end.
It was a good thing that the light was off because this way they could sleep better. Talking about sleep, it didn't take long for it to take over all of them.
Yugi's Dream
"HEY YUGI!" asked a demon boy not that much older than Yugi, as he flew over next to Yugi.
"Huh? Oh Darcy! Hey how have you been?" asked Yugi as an angel.
"Oh ok I guess. I just got in trouble so I was wandering if we could maybe hang out until he cools it." said the boy known as Darcy. He and Yugi seemed to be friends and that would be ok if they were both demons or angels. But they weren't and that's why Darcy was in trouble. Like Yugi, Darcy was a legendary being but he was demon and often they hung out; much to their kings dislike.
"Okay yeah sure. But what did you do this time?" asked Yugi as he and Darcy spread their human sized angel and demon wings and flew off.
Later that night.
"But why? Why do demons and angels have to fight? Darcy and I are friends and haven't fought yet. All we do is talk and if we come across a disagreement then we move on to something else, why cant all of you do that?" asked a distraught Yugi who was arguing with the King of the angels. Even though Yugi was the legendary angel he wasn't exactly made king because he wasn't of royal blood. So the king had higher authority over Yugi even though Yugi was stronger and the same went for Darcy.
"They are vile, they're evil, they're rough, they hurt others for the hell of it. They cant be trusted. How do you know that Darcy thinks of you as a friend? He might be just playing you. They're a bunch of snakes and playing people is one of the things they do best." said the king as he sat in his throne.
"I know that Darcy feels that I'm his friend. And as for being rough and all that its just the demon's nature. But Darcy is the legendary demon just like I'm apparently the legendary angel, we're different. If we were normal demons and angels we'd probably feel the same way that you and all the other angels and demons feel." argued Yugi. Tonight was the night that Yugi had learnt about being the legendary angel.
"I don't want to push you …" started the king.
"No of course you don't because you know that I'm stronger than you. I can kill you if I wanted to but I wont because I don't want to kill anyone. And it's funny because I know that Darcy doesn't want to kill anyone either. Darcy is just like me just a demon, so why you can't let us be friends is beyond me." argued Yugi.
"It's because he's a demon and sooner or later he's going to be just like the rest of them. And it's because of that fact that I don't want you to be friends with him because I don't want you to get hurt." said the king.
"Of course you don't want me to get hurt because I'm the only chance you have on survival. But I'm not going to fight, because fighting only causes more hate and more hurt and if there is anymore of that then this feud is never going to end." said Yugi.
"But Yugi! If we don't fight…" started the king.
"I didn't say that every angel is not fighting I just said that I'm not." cut in Yugi.
"So you don't care…" started the king again.
"Not at the moment. You're trying to break mine and Darcy's friendship and for what? You wont give him a chance because he's a demon. Well what if he was just like me, you'll never know. You would still want him dead because of his race. He cant choose want he wants to be it just doesn't work that way. Not all demons are as bad as you make them out to be and Darcy's the perfect example of that. I'm starting to think that maybe you're the demon. Maybe not physically but you're definitely acting like what you make them out to be." said Yugi before spreading his large angelic wings and flying fast and hard out the window.
"YUGI? YUGI! YUGI COME BACK HERE. DON'T YOU DARE GO SEE DARCY YOU HEAR ME? YUUGI!" called the king as he flew over to the window and watched as Yugi flew in the night sky, his wings slightly glowing in the twin moonlight as they had two moons.
End of Yugi's dream.
To be continued…
Yay I finally finished this chapter it took me forever. I was stuck on deciding how to get the whole clothes fight in the shops to come about but I finally did it. You can kind of tell I was stuck on ideas before getting them to bed because I noticed that I didn't detail as much things...Oh by the way, Sharay and Eligh only slept in a double bed together because there were no more single beds so no they are not seeing eachother and I'm sorry if it sounded like that. And again the help from above would be very much appreciated...
Later.
Next chapter: Going home.
