An Angel's Story
Chapter 5


Nuriko: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, only Hikari and Milan.


-Ryou-
I woke up to the sound of utter silence. Where was Hikari and was she okay?

I managed to struggle out of bed and stumble out of my bedroom door and into the hall. I looked in the door to her room but she was nowhere to be seen.

'I hope my Yami didn't do anything...'

I headed to Bakura's room. I knocked once and then a second time as there was no response.

"What is it?!" My Yami snapped.

"It's Ryou, do you know where Hikari is?" I asked sheepishly.

"I don't know and I don't care!!" Was the sharp reply I received.

I sighed and winced at the pain of my injuries.

'What happened?'

-Bakura-
'Ever since I met that girl everything has been going wrong...' I cursed and sat up. I really needed to get out.

"I guess I better see if Hikari is still around. Might as well, I don't have anything better to do" I headed downstairs and into the kitchen.

'Dammit where is that annoying girl?!'

I searched the house high and low but I found no trace of Hikari or Ryou...

"Where did they go...ugh" I picked up a jacket and walked out into the rain. Ryou is probably at Yugi's so I better start looking there. But I swear that I will someday kill Hikari...and then she'll be out of my thoughts, forever"

-Ryou-
After being yelled at by my Yami I got dressed and left for Yugi's house right away. I needed his help to find Hikari if she wasn't there.

The pain of my bruises kept me from running but I still needed to get there quickly.

"Hey Ryou!" a familiar voice as well as the sound of a motorcycle approached.

"Hello Tristan" I said.

"You headed to Yugi's place?"

"Yeah"

"Cool, wanna lift?" asked Tristan.

"Umm, sure why not..." I climbed on the back of the motorcycle and held on as Tristan sped away to the game shop.

-Malik-
Hikari had fallen back asleep and I sat waiting in her room for either her to wake up again or for Isis to come back. Her fever had stayed down to a minimum thanks to Isis' planning ahead.

"Malik I'm home!" Isis called from the doorway where she kicked off her shoes and hung up her coat.

"Welcome back!" I replied. She smiled.

"Is she still asleep?" Isis motioned toward Hikari.

"She woke up for a bit but fell back asleep not too long ago" Isis nodded at my response.

"So, did you talk to her?" Isis asked as she and I headed out to sit at the kitchen table.

"Umm, yeah"

"Like what?"

"Does it matter?" I tried to avoid giving her an answer. She gave me a suspicious look and raised an eyebrow.

"Did my little brother make a move on a girl?" She laughed as I began to blush.

"I guess I should take that as I yes. Are you taking her to the dance then?" Ever since Battle City Isis and I had been closer and were talking more often.

"What if I am?" I replied. She shrugged.

"I was just wondering cause I'm going with Seto. Maybe her and I could look for dresses together" She suggested.

'Oh yeah, that's right I forgot she was going...It isn't really a surprise though. Seto and Isis had been going steady with each other ever since my Yami had been put under control'

"I guess you'll just have to ask Hikari when she wakes up" I reply.

"Ask me what?" Came a voice from the doorway. I look towards the direction of the spare room and see Hikari leaning against the doorframe. She smiles and walks over to the table and sits by me.

"Would you like to go shopping with me, maybe Tuesday after you get out of school, for a dress for the dance?" Isis asked her. She nods.

"Sure I'd love to Isis. Oh and I wanted to ask you something...do you think Malik could start public school with me?" She asked.

'Wow...I can't believe she took me seriously and even remembered my request...'

"Well I guess...I could get him enrolled tomorrow and he could start school with you on Tuesday, if you are feeling better" Isis says thinking about Hikari's proposal. "I guess it'll be okay"

"Thank you sister" I say in a half whisper. She nods.

"Time for you to get back to bed!" She tells Hikari. Hikari sighs but does as she is told.

'I have a feeling that this will be a very interesting week...'

-Ryou-
I arrive at Yugi's house with Tristan. As soon as I enter though the door I am bombarded with questions about what happened to me and where was my Yami and Hikari.

"Yugi...I need your help" I managed to say. He gave me a questioning look before replying.

"What is it Ryou?"

"I can't find Hikari. I think my Yami did something to her but I have no clue where she is. Please help me to look for her" I say looking towards my friends. They all nod and we split up to look.

I search anywhere where I think she may be; the movies, the park even the school building but she is at none of those places. I have searched for 3 hours before returning to the game shop. They have not found her either. There was a new addition to our search team though. My Yami had shown up.

Yami Yugi didn't seem very happy to see Bakura and he questioned him and yelled a lot. He kept asking what he did to Hikari. And every time the answer would be the same...

"I taught her a lesson" is all that he says. Anger grows inside of me. He beats me, torments me and now chases away one of my friends. I can't stand it anymore.

"I hate you!" I scream all of a sudden causing everyone to become silent and stare at me. "Ever since I received the millennium ring every single day of my life has been hell! I can't take it anymore! You know how many days I have woken up wishing to be dead?! I have even tried to kill myself!" I pull up the sleeves on my long sleeved shirt to show scars on my wrists where I had tried to commit suicide.

Yugi and my other friends suck in breaths, not believing I would do that to myself.

"Unfortunately, it has never worked and I am left here, wondering what I have ever done to you! Now you chase away one of my friends and don't even seem to care that she may even be dead now because of you! I hate it, I hate you. I wish we had never met!" I scream. I take in full breaths of air trying to calm down but it was hard...All those things I had said had been bottled up inside for so long...

-Bakura-
I stare blankly at Ryou. I cannot ever think right now. All that I can hear is the sound of Ryou's angry voice ringing in my ears.

Yugi and the others stare at me, like they expect me to say I am sorry...but I can't...I won't. It's not my fault Ryou and Hikari are such weaklings...at least, this is what I keep telling myself.

Without saying I word I stand and walk out of the door and into the rain. I walk slowly back to Ryou's house and to my room. There I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling.

'What had ever caused me to be this way?' I ask myself. I cannot find the answer though. Like Yami Yugi, I had long ago lost the memory of my past life.

'But can I ever change?' I ask myself before falling into an uneasy sleep.

-Hikari-
The next morning I felt like crap. I was burning up and my head hurt like anything.

"Good to see you're awake, here take this" I heard Malik say to me as he handed me water and medicine.

"Thank you" I say before taking the medicine and handing the water glass back to him. "Where is Isis?"

"She went to enroll me in Domino High. Oh and thank you for asking her by the way"

"It's no problem. So...about the dance on Friday...when is it?" I ask.

"It starts at 10 and runs all night...well at least till 5 am" He replies. My eyes widen.

"Do these people not like sleep of something?!" He laughs.

"Well they do more then dance there when it gets late...but we'll leave it at that. You should go back to bed so you'll be ready to go back to school tomorrow. I bet Ryou is worried" I nod and drift into a dream filled sleep...
