I am so sorry last weeks chapter came so late, it would have been earlier but
because of a huge snowstorm I couldn't get anywhere near the internet. By the
way this chapter will explain many things about Hikari, like the
mortal/immortal thing.

Chapter Nineteen - Angel of light
Hikari felt the world fall away from him, of all things he had not
expected Kage to say that. Kage was the one that had taken the millennium eye
from his father and sent him to the hospital, and the reason surprised him.
He knew that his creations were very powerful, for one thing they
carried an impressive amount of shadow realm power in them.
He remembered also that with all seven of them together they were on par
with some demi-gods power, they could grant certain wishes... long ago in Egypt
he had told Kage that.
Of all things this was one he had not expected, one did not expect there
loved one to admit to stealing something important and putting there father
into the hospital.
He had to think this over in private, he felt as if his heart would
burst in sorrow from the emotions going through his body.
"Kage... I need to think about his, alone," he said softly tears in his
blue eyes, he reached with his powers and left to a lace no one could find him
till he wanted to be found.
***
Kage gasped as Hikari suddenly glowed with pure light, he had seen
Hikari teleport before but he had never seen this light before. Then the glow
completely covered his love, the last thing he saw was Hikari's blue eyes as
he seemed to fade into light and vanish.
He crumpled onto the floor (interesting since he had been sitting)
feeling as if he might easily break, he knew he had hurt Hikari... and he didn't
know what to do about it.
"Hikari... forgive me," he whispered, and then he began to cry deeply
afraid that he had lost all that he held dear once again.
It was while he cried his heart out that the Three senshi awoke, Rei
looked at him and knew that while unconscious she had missed something of
great important.
***
Bastets head snapped around to look at the door, she had just felt
Hikari leave this reality.... To where even she didn't know, and her friend felt
very upset.
"Bastet, what's wrong?" Yugi asked, Bastet sighed.
"Hikari just left this reality for another very upset, whatever Kage
just said must of hurt him deeply," Bastet explained, Yugi shared a surprised
looked with Yami.
"What could upset Hikari, in ancient times nothing seemed to hurt him,"
Yami muttered to himself, Bastets ears pricked slightly catching those words.
'Yes... but some things wound Hikari quite badly, but I don't know what
they are' Bastet thought, it was at that instant Bakura excited the bathroom
(We won't go there) and ran into the living room a slightly panicked look on
his face.
***
He was in an endless place of light, all was pure here as the shadow
realm was darkness and corrupted... mind you some things there were not
corrupted.
He allowed it to wrap around him and give him comfort, it had been along
time since he had come here... to the light realm.
Like the shadow realm the light realm contained a multiple of creatures,
but unlike there darker counterparts they had never been seen by mortal eyes
and few by immortal eyes... only two or three gods/goddesses had seen them
before.
'Why, why is this all happening to me' he thought sadly, tears slipped
down his face and then floated away. He smiled feeling the light creatures
sending him comfort, he let them see his thoughts and emotions, maybe they
could help him.
[Hikari, we will help you all we can yet the conclusion will be yours
alone to decide] a gentle wise voice whispered in his mind, Hikari smiled
recognizing it.
{Raito my old friend, thank you for your words} Hikari answered, he gave
a joyful laugh as slim arms hugged him from behind.
"But you should visit more my old friend, you are one of us and our only
link to our counterparts... here you are among family," the owner of the arms
said, Hikari smiled and leaned back onto a slim chest.
"Thank you Raito, I don't know what I'd do without my friends... as it was
the light and shadow realms that guarded my soul between rebirths and my final
reincarnation," Hikari whispered, then to his surprise he yawned.
"Rest Hikari, maybe all will feel easier after a rest at my home," Raito
answered, it was a calm male voice and in it was heard the knowledge of
countless centuries.
"Thank you Raito," Hikari whispered, his blue eyes looked up at his
friend and with one last smile he fell asleep feeling totally safe.
"Oh Hikari, I only wish destiny wasn't so cruel to you my friend," Raito
whispered, he picked up Hikari and with help of there many friends got him
home.
***
Hikari slowly woke up, for the first time since his rebirth he felt
rested... with a yawn he opened his eyes and looked around. Right away he
recognized this place, it was his room at Raito's home but a modern version of
it. It looked like a normal teenage human bedroom, there was even a TV and
DVD/VRC in the corner.
'That's new, guess he likes those mortal things' he thought, his grin
widened noticing all the movies/DVD/Tapes on a shelf nearby.
"Good morning Hikari," a familiar voice said, Hikari jumped out of bed
seeing Raito enter his room.
"Raito," he said happily, it was then that he took a good look at his
friend. As always his friend looked the same, minus the modern day clothing.
Raito was a kitsune, unlike those Japanese stories Kitsune's (fox
spirits) were not evil and came from the light realm. Kitsunes had long
stopped visiting the other realms, they were just legends now... even back in
ancient Egypt.
His kitsune friend stood five foot four with reddish-brown fur and
bright green eyes, five bushy tails swung behind him. His friend was wearing
white jeans and a white tank top... but he wondered where he had gotten those
leather boots to fit his foxy feet.
"Nice," he said, the kitsune snickered at this.
"Thanks Hikari, I was wondering... while you're here could you take your
light form?" Raito asked, hikari blinked startled at this. It had been such a
long time since he had taken it, to tell the truth no one but the creatures of
the light/shadow realm had seen his real form.
"Its been such a long time, but for you anything," Hikari grinned, he
decided to stay in the realm just a bit longer then planned... here he could
pull himself together again.
Hikari's body began to glow as he let the restraints holding him in
human form vanish, a tingling filled him and it happened.
Suddenly the once short teen stood about six feet tall, his skin was now
a golden color that gave him a very exotic look. He still looked very human in
the end, that is if you didn't see the rest of him.
Huge white angel like wings came from his back, his face was also now
more mature with slim long pointed ears. His eyes were now slanted, while they
were still blue his shadow heritage showed in the slit pupils. His hair was
now pure white and fell to his knees in a loose ponytail, he also had a nice
body to look at.
His clothing changed also but not to his old outfit he had worn in this
form, he wore new modern clothing. He wore a white silk shirt with gold trim,
form fitting white jeans covered his slim legs and slim white leather boots
covered his feet. All along his clothing were strange symbols with meaning
only those of the light realm knew... they told many important things to the
creatures there.
Once his transformation to his true form Hikari smiled, he looked down
at the now shorter Kitsune who bowed with great respect.
"Welcome my lord, all of the light realm welcome you home," Raito said
with great respect, Hikari rolled his eyes.
"I thought I told you I don't like bowing, if you bow you know I'm going
to be bowed at in the shadow realm," Hikari grumped, he was almost startled
for his voice was also different... he had forgotten about that.
It was now older and wiser sounding, but it was still his own... anyone
who knew his humans form voice would soon recognize it as his own.
"I know, I just did that to bug you," Raito smirked, Hikari laughed
before becoming serious.
"How long was I asleep?" he asked, Raito sighed.
"Three days my lord, you were quite tired from using your powers so
much... I also put the crystal in storage till you need it again," Raito said
and this startled Hikari, three days had passed... three days since he had left
Kage.
"Thanks Raito, I'm just going to wonder about and think... I still need to
come to a decision about Kage," he said truthfully, Raito nodded.
"Just call me if you need anything Hikari, I am your friend after all,"
Raito reminded him before leaving, Hikari smiled and walked to a door that led
to his private balcony.
"Friends... something I need right now, but what should I do about Kage,"
he whispered with a sigh, he didn't know how to react... how should he react
when his love had put his father into the hospital in a coma.
"Shadowlight, I'm just thinking in circles here," he moaned, with that
realization he closed his eyes and thought about his problem... and the fact
that he still had to fight tuxido mask and the evil controlling him.
"What a mess the mortal realm is," he said to himself, yes it was all a
big mess and it looked like it would soon becoming even more messier.
He sighed thinking of this version of himself, he had a mortal body...
okay a semi-immortal body because it could age. His soul was immortal and
could not be destroyed or corrupted, because of this if his body was destroyed
he could be reborn any time he wanted in a body... well a body that could look
anyway he wanted.
He smiled slightly as he remembered the conversation he had before being
reborn with Hikari, the choice of being and immortal Lunarian or Hikari
mortal... as it was he wasn't really mortal.
He felt grief rise inside him, he knew that as time went by he would
once again have to see friends age and die... like Bakura, Yugi and even there
other halves if they merged into one.
"Life just isn't fair, why must everything become so complicated,"
Hikari whispered, he spread his wings and flew off through the light world
trying to become to a decision.
***
"Are you sure about this?" Bakura asked, Kage sighed and looked at the
golden item in his hand. It was the millennium eye, and he had decided to
return it to its rightful place.
It had been three days since Hikari had vanished, since then he had
fallen into a slight depression... Bakura hoped Hikari would come back soon.
He thought of what had happened after Hikari had vanished three days
ago, the three senshi had stayed at Yugis house ands planned to stay there
until they could get a place of there own and jobs. Hikaris guardians had also
stopped by a couple times looking for him, thankfully they could tell the
truth and say they had no clue.
As it was the green haired red eyes guardian called Setsuna gave him the
creeps, but he could almost laugh at remembering how she had reacted to the
three inner senshi.
The last time he had seen bugged eyes like that it had been in a cartoon
character, if he remembered right it was one of Pegasus Toon monsters after
being pulled into toon world. Setsuna had then dragged the three senshi out
and git the whole story out of Rei, Setsuna then took them back to her house
intent on waiting for Hikari to come back from wherever he had gone.
"I'm sure," Kage said softly, Bakura nodded and pushed open the door to
Pegasus hospital room.
'Hikari, please come back soon' he thought, looking around he saw that
the comatose Pegasus was the only one in the room at the moment. Quickly the
ancient spirit walked over and placed it over the place it had once been,
concentrating his power he sent it back to the right place.
Suddenly Pegasus moaned and his normal eye flickered, both held their
breath as he opened said eye.
"Ack!" Pegasus said startled, he had seen them and was not amused. He
moved weakly away from them, Bakura and Kage traded looks.
"Hello Pegasus... Kage here was just returning what is yours... but we have
many things to tell you," Bakura said softly, Pegasus looked at them with
suspicion but listened as they began to tell him.... Everything that had
happened since his coma.
***
"You've made your decision?" Raito asked once Hikari returned to the
house, Hikari nodded and returned his body to that of a human one.
"Yes I have, I will return and forgive Kage... for he did all for love no
matter how strange he showed his love. But I still feel betrayed and it will
never truly fade, I fear worse in the future," Hikari whispered, yet he would
return to the human world... what happened in the future he did not know.
"Take care of yourself Hikari, don't wait so long to visit next time,"
Raito said, Hijari gave a small laugh and hugged the kitsune.
"Don't worry, I will," he promised, then focusing his powers he seemed
to vanish as he returned to the mortal realm.
