When Angel's Deserve to Die



Chapter Two

Dark Days Ahead



Yugi watched the sun come up as he lay on his bed looking out the window. It warmed his face and relaxed him a bit knowing a new day was here. Yugi sat up slowly and stretched out. Soon he pushed himself out of bed and got dressed. He walked out of his room and down to the kitchen.

'I guess I should start cooking.'

Yugi but on a pot of water to boil for tea, then he began to boil some eggs. Next he put some rice in to soak for later. He then sat down at the table for a little while. His puzzle began to glow as Yami came out. He appeared behind Yugi then took a seat next to him at the table. Yugi was quiet. Yami looked on Yugi knowing there was something wrong.

"Sleep well?" Yami asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes." Was Yugi's reply

"You cannot fool me aibou-chan no boku." Yami said

"I know." Yugi said looking up.

"What is troubling you?" Yami asked

"Yami where do the stars come from?" Yugi asked throwing Yami off guard.

"They come from the sky." Yami said sounding a little annoyed that Yugi was trying to avoid his previous question. Yugi was quiet once again. Yami watched Yugi's face carefully. He didn't seem to be sad...just...troubled.

"I suppose they do." Yugi said getting up to check on his eggs. Yami sighed.

"I once heard a long time ago, that the stars were the kingdom that righteous people were sent to after their death. If you were good honest kind and loving when you die you would forever be a part of that sparkling crystal kingdom above." Yami said. Yugi was still.

"Really? Do you think its true?" Yugi said with his spirits lifting a bit.

"I believe it." Yami said softly. Yugi turned around and smiled. Yami smiled back at him. Yugi poured them both a cup of hot tea and sat down.

"What did you hear the stars were?" Yami asked

"Okasan told me when I was very young that the stars were the eyes of angel's and they always are looking down upon us and protecting us always." Yugi said.

"I see."

"Do you think this could be true too?" Yugi asked

"I suppose they are both true." Yami said. Yugi smiled and blew on his tea to cool it. The phone began to ring. Yugi got up to answer it.

"Yes. Hello?" Yugi said picking it up.

"Yugi! Its me Anzu!" He heard from the other end.

"Hello Anzu. Good morning." Yugi said

"Yugi you got to turn on the TV, it's about Pegasus!" Yugi took one quick look at Yami then darted to the living room to turn on the TV. Yami knew what was up and quickly followed. They both watched as the reported began his announcement.

[It was discovered very early this morning the body of Pegasus J Crawford. The exact cause of death is unknown...] Yugi and Yami watched in trepidation as this was reported.

"Yugi? Yugi? Are you there? Hello!" Anzu shouted from the other line.

"Huh? Yes I'm here!" Yugi said snapping out of it.

"This is bad Yugi! I'm coming over!" Anzu said firmly

"Wait Anzu its to..!" Yugi began

[Click]

"..dangerous." He said slowly. Yugi shut the phone off and set it down.

Anzu wasn't the only one who had heard the news. Jonouchi had soon found out and so had Honda. They both came to join Yugi and Yami. With everyone hear they sat down to talk about the situation and what could be done about it. Yami stood up leaning against the wall, while the remaining four sat on the two couches Honda and Jonouchi on one and Anzu and Yugi on the other.

"I want to know who did this." Honda said

"The reporters didn't say." Anzu said

"Well who ever did it really meant business." Jonouchi said

"What should we do?" Honda asked.

"What can we do?" Anzu said

"But why did they do this?" Anzu said

"No one has figured that out yet." Jonouchi said

"Its simple." Yami broke in. Everyone looked up at him.

"I withdraw my statement." Jonouchi said. Yugi watched Yami not wanting to hear his theory.

"He was after the millennium item Pegasus had and by the sounds of things he got what he came for." Yami said. Everyone was quiet. Yugi looked down and away a bit.

"What are we going to do?" Anzu asked

"There is nothing we can do but wait. Until the guilty party is captured, Yugi's life is in danger." Yami said firmly. Everyone looked at Yugi who was wearing the millennium item puzzle around his neck like always. He didn't look at anyone.

"Yugi.." Anzu said putting her hand up to her mouth gently.

"Bakura's life is also in danger. We must warn him." Yami said

"Right!" Jonouchi said standing up followed by Honda. Yugi stood up to so he could go with.

"Hold up a sec Yuug, You heard your otha' half, its not safe out there for you, you should stay here with Yami and Anzu, we'll go talk to Bakura." Jonouchi said halting Yugi in his tracks. Yugi nodded and watched Joey and Honda as they left. Yugi gripped the chain of his millennium item softly.

'No one is going to take this away from me.' Yugi thought.

"I will be going back in my room to think. I will be here if you need anything little one." Yami said.

"Okay." Yugi said turning to Yami. Yami gave Yugi a reassuring look then returned to his spirit room. Yugi turned around and sat down on the couch. Anzu sat by him.

"I can't believe Pegasus is dead." Yugi said softly.

"Me either." Anzu said

"Who ever did this must be incredibly powerful." Yugi said. Anzu sighed.

'This is dangerous, what if Yugi gets hurt...or killed?' The last part of that thought hit Anzu like a ton of bricks. What if Yugi died? What would she do with out him?

'No! Yugi can't die! He is too important to me! I couldn't live with out him!' Anzu continued to think about this horrible thought for a while. Yugi looked at Anzu, she looked as if she would start crying at any moment.

"Anzu?" Yugi said softly. She broke out of her trance and looked at Yugi.

"Yugi.." She said sadly. Yugi smiled at her.

"Don't worry Anzu, everything will be alright. There are angels watching over me. They will keep me safe. And I know Yami will do everything he can to stop this person." Yugi said cheerfully. Anzu smiled back at him and nodded.

"Yugi, its just...I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you." Anzu said

"Anzu...I'll never leave your side. I'll be with you...always." Yugi said. They both slowly leaned closer to each other. Anzu's eyes slid shut as she seen Yugi's face coming closer. She could feel his warm breath nearing. Then just as their lips had barely met...

//Yugi, something is wrong.// Yugi pulled back and opened his eyes slowly. He was quiet. Anzu opened her eyes to see why Yugi pulled away so fast.

/What is wrong Yami?/ Yugi was just sitting there looking at the floor. Anzu lowered her eye brows.

//I sense something.//

/What is it?/

//I don't know.//

"Yugi?" Anzu said pulling Yugi's attention from Yami

"Huh?" Yugi said piped up.

"What's wrong?" Anzu said a little disappointed in the outcome of the interaction with Yugi a few moments ago.

"Sorry Yami just told me he senses something bad." Yugi said

"Oh." Anzu said with a sigh of relief. She was hoping there was a good reason he pulled back.

//I'm coming out.//

/Alright./ Yami appeared in front of the two very quickly.

"Yami what do you feel?" Yugi asked getting worried.

"I'm not sure..." Yami said scanning the room. He turned in a different direction and pointed. "...but its coming from that direction."

"But that is just a wall." Anzu said. Yugi stood up.

"Wait...That's the direction to Bakura's house!!" Yugi shouted. The three of them all bolted for the door. They ran down the street as fast as they could in the direction of Bakura's house.

'Jonouchi and Honda are over there already! I hope we make it in time!' Yugi thought as he ran. Yami was in the lead. They turned the corner and ran up to Bakura's door step. The door was open a little and Yami slid it open and slowly looked in.

"Bakura?" Yami called out. He opened the door the rest of the way and walked in. Yugi followed with Anzu trying to hide behind him.

"Hello?" Yugi called out.

"Yugi? Yami? Is that you?" Bakura said peeking out from one of the rooms.

"Bakura! Where are Jonouch-kun and Honda-kun?" Yugi said as the passed the kitchen. Suddenly Jonouchi jumped out from behind Anzu and lifted her up in the air then brought her back down. As soon as her feet left the ground she let out a huge wale and started to kick for her very life. This also took Yugi and Yami by surprise. When Yami realized it was only Jonouchi he calmed down a bit. When Anzu got back on her feet she turned around and slugged Joey.

"I was only having some fun, you should have seen your face!" Jonouchi said laughing and rubbing his check.

"This isn't the right time to be playing tricks Jonouchi." Yugi said seriously. Bakura and Honda came out from their hiding spots and joined everyone in the living room.

"Honda was just telling me what happened when we heard someone at the door." Bakura said.

"I thought you and Yugi were going to wait for us at Yugi's house?" Honda said turning to Yami.

"That was the plan, but who ever is after the millennium items knows where we are." Yami said

"So you got a plan in mind then Yami?" Jonouchi said crossing his arms.

"Right now all we can do is stay here and protect Yugi and Bakura." Yami said.

"Right." Honda said.

"Sure." Anzu said

"That's all fine and dandy with me but could we maybe get something to eat I'm starved." Jonouchi said

"I'll go make lunch." Bakura said

"I'll help you!" Yugi said following Bakura.

Yugi put on some tea and then Bakura and Yugi began to make lunch for everyone. They everything was cooking everyone sat down to have a cup of hot tea. Yami sat quietly staying alert and on guard as he slowly drank his tea. Joey took a sip of his tea the made some weird faces then started to complain that there wasn't enough sugar in his tea. Honda and Yugi laughed as Bakura got out more sugar. After Yami was done with his tea he went to sit in the living room while the others seemed to not notice him leaving. Yugi noticed his other half's disappearance and slipped out of the kitchen into the living room where Yami sat quietly. Stood behind him for a moment.

"Something evil is approaching." Yami said

"Is it close?" Yugi said softly

"I'm not sure. It's coming though. I can feel it." Yami said Yugi was quiet.

"This is what killed Pegasus, and took the millennium eye." Yami said standing up.

"Yugi when the time comes I will protect you with my life. I wont let anything happen to you." Yami said

"I know I will be safe. You and the stars will protect me. We will beat this evil together." Yugi said. Yugi left the room and went back to the kitchen. Yami stood quietly looking out the window.

'Aibou...your heart is pure. You have the spirit of an angel in you. The stars must give me power to protect you. For you are the purest...Like a child almost, naive and young. I would do anything to shield you from all pain.'

In the other room Bakura finished cleaning up the dishes. Yugi watched as Honda and Jonouchi fooled around. (you dirty mind you!) Anzu laughed at them.

"I will go get out some extra blankets so you all can stay here tonight." Bakura said. He walked down the hall away from everyone. He opened the closet. His eyes hardened and an evil smirk grew on his face.

'Now someone is gathering the millennium items for me. They must not have realized I already had the millennium eye. This is perfect.'

"Yugi, you're safe?" Jonouchi said.

"Where is mou hitori no boku?" Yugi said with a terrified look on his face. Everyone looked back at the burning house.

"He must still be inside!" Honda said.
