Disclaimer: A little too busy to own Yugioh right now.

*cries* Stupid project! This chapter is so short! I'm sorry! The reason for that and not updating is a stupid project due in 1 and a half weeks, and it's worth 10% of mah overall mark! Holy! I still have all the corrections, good copy and hand drawn (badly done) illustrations to do! AAARRRGGGHHH! *tears hair out* Maybe aftterwards I'll tear it down and add to it. There isn't much fluff in it, sorry.

PS Someone said (2 weeks ago -_-;;;) that they were only at the "Blackthorn" part in Yugioh. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! Please tell me!

Chapter 9: Yuugi

The first thing Yugioh noticed, was that his nose itched, but he felt too tired to scratch it. He tried to wiggle it instead, but it only made the irritation worse. He groaned and rolled over, wanting some peace and quiet, for the fallen angel noticed the air was cold and water was running nearby. When he felt something cool and damp touch his forehead, his went off and his eyes jerked open, frightening a person next to him enough into dropping the cloth. The bedridden King of Games attempted to get up, but every muscle in his stomach seemed to stretch unnaturally, giving him cramps and making him fall back onto the soft matress.

"Ohayo gozaimasu," someone whispered gently into his ear, filled with affection and warmth. "I was wondering when you would wake up." the owner of the voice giggled, making Yugioh smile and look up.

"Nani core? Yuugi?!" he once again tried to get up, with more urgency, but all his muscles contracted again, making him moan in pain and flop down again. Two soft arms wrapped around his shoulders, fixing his position. Then a small hand ran its fingers through his hair. "Yuugi, you're alright!"

Yuugi giggled again. "Of course!" he smiled wryly, "Don't you have any faith?" At the pinkening of the fallen angel's cheeks, Yuugi burst into a fit of real, all out, harmonic laughter, lowering himself down to kiss Yugioh's forehead, then resting his head on the young man's shoulders. "Yami."

"Hikari," he whispered as tears threatened to overflow, "I thought you were dead." He looked at the Sennen Puzzle around the small boy's neck. "How come you didn't answer when I called for you?" His voice began to crack, so he stopped and just let the crystalline tears fall. 'How could Yuugi just ignore me like that?' He felt something warm and wet through the fabric of his shirt, signifying Yuugi was suffering just as much.

"I just couldn't! If the Council found out, well..." he sniffled a bit and Yugioh ran his hand through the boy's hair again. Then he grabbed the little one and pulled him close with the realization.

"Wait! The Council?! That means you're an-"

"-angel," Yuugi finished as the broad white wings unfurled like a dream and settled, one over Yugioh, the other draped over the side of the bed. Yami nuzzled the wings gently, letting the warmth from the feathers heat his body up. "I found out that dying wasn't so bad. It only-"

"-hurts until your body shuts down." they both stated in unision. Yugioh smiled. "You've heard the saying, too, ne?" the angel nodded, "I guess that's obvious, being up there so long..." He trailed off, unable to express the strong feelings of relief, mixed with need at that point. Too bad he didn't know Yuugi felt they same way. They both were at a loss for words that they lay in the same position for quite some time, just allowing the other to memorize their presence again.

"Suimasen, are you done?" a voice whispered from near the door. The two heavenly beings made noises of agreement and a home nurse walked in, along with Jounouchi, Honda and Anzu, who had just arrived. The three settled themselves respectively in some chairs by the bed.

"Oi, Yami, Yuugi." Jounouchi nodded to the boys, who were still on the bed together.

"Ohayo gozaimasu." It was Yuugi who answered. "How are the other soldiers doing?"

"Well, they need medical attention. Don't you have some other cards to help?"

"Why yes, Honda. Yuugi has that Mystic Elf he can use. Ne, Yuugi?" Anzu asked through gritted teeth. What the hell was the kid doing with the object of her affection, anyway? [AN: *rolls eyes* Hmm...I wonder...Ama.] Yuugi slowly got up and walked out of the room, Yami groaning and instantly missing his warmth. Anzu immediately jumped up and pulled the covers over him. "Wouldn't want you to catch cold, now would we?"

Jounouchi internally groaned. Personally, he thought Yuugi and Yugioh would make a good couple. He'd have to play matchmaker later. [AN: ^_^] After Yugioh finally pushed Anzu off of him, they began to discuss their progress and battle tactics for an upcoming assault.

*********[AN: Has anyone noticed I don't do enough for Jounouchi-tachi? They've only got a couple of lines together!]***********

Sethkare put the Sennen Rod in its sheath on his hip. Then he placed a few pairs of modern Earth clothes into a small suitcase. The trip would be long, but it would be easy to leave, considering that Bastet was still bawling her eyes out about "Yuu-chan." He smirked, knowing how irritated Yuugi had gotten over the nickname. Lucky he wasn't here to listen to the cat goddess cry it continuously.

That Shigutsu[1] was an extremely good idea on his part, though. Able to be controlled on the sending end and can replace his master with only slightly less power, making it excellent in battle. Also could switch places with the puppeteer at any place and time. He sighed, wondering if he should have made one for himself, but it would have been difficult with all the magic guards around. They could sense even the smallest spells and cancel them out in a matter of nanoseconds, if there were enough of them. He was smart to have made one for the little one in advance.

He picked up the silverish suitcase and walked out the front door, stretching his wings. This would be a long and strenuous trip, and if he was caught, the Council would most certinally kill him. But it was all worth it if he could just see Mokuba again.

*sigh* Owari.

Yami: NANI?! That was so fucking short!

It's the project, I told you already! I have no time!

Noah: Hey, even I'm understanding and I'm never nice.

*snort* Yeah, I kinda figured that out.

Yami: But I didn't kiss my aibou, or anything!

For the love of all things holy! All you want to do is get Yuugi in the sack! Be patient!

Yami&Yuugi: *sheepish grin*

Noah&Bishiehuggler: -____-;;;

R&R, no flames, it's not mah fault. I know! I'll write an extra long one later on! ^_^ That's a great idea!

Suimasen=Excuse me, in a very polite text. (Like there's any other way.) Ama=Bitch! MWAHAHAHA!

[1] Anyone watch/read original Inu Yasha? The ORIGINAL? Undubbed/not translated by Viz? Well, a Shigutsu (which may or may not be spelled right XD) is a puppet/voodoo doll thingie that acts just like the real puppeteer. It's always used by Naraku, cause he's a hot, bishounen coward.
