An Angel's Story
Chapter 6
Nuriko: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, so there.
-Bakura-
In my dream everything around me was dark and silent. Usually that wouldn't put me on the edge because I do live in the Shadow Realm after all...but there was something else that made me feel uneasy.
I remember walking through the darkness, not knowing what lie ahead and tripping over something. I looked down and I felt my heart knot up.
"Ryou?" I ask the still form on the ground. I bend over and pick him up in my arms. He still had a little of a pulse. I continue to wander until I hit something else. I bend down closer to see what it is.
"Oh Ra...no..." I murmur. Lying on the ground, covered in blood was Hikari. Her brownish red hair lay sprawled around her and covering her face partially. Her skin had lost its tan complexion and had become deathly pale. I check for a pulse on her wrist. There is none.
"Why?" Despite myself I began to cry. Behind me footsteps crept closer and I felt a sharp pain in my back. I screamed and passed out...
-Hikari-
In my dream I was walking through a field of bright colored flowers. In the distance I could see Bakura, Ryou and Malik waving me over. I began to run towards them but even though the ground below me was moving with me I was getting no closer to them.
"What's going on?" I stop to catch a quick breath. I look up and my friends are beginning to fade into the distance.
"No, wait!" I cry as I try with all my might to follow them. It is no use. They are gone. Then everything turns black.
The next thing I know I am standing in a cemetery. Everything is bleak and gray. I wander around for a while, trying to get out. I reach a headstone with writing that has been covered up by debris carried by the wind. I kneel and wipe away the dirt and sand.
I read the name and description out loud. "Yami Bakura, death unknown, body never found"
And that was where the dream ended...
-Bakura-
I awoke in a cold sweat. Ryou was probably at school already seeing as it was a little after noon. I got up, dressed and left the house. I needed to get some air. I walked down the street and to a local park. Seating myself on a bench I sat and stared at the sky, beginning to doubt my abilities and my actions.
'Why have I beaten Ryou in the past and why do I want to hurt Hikari so much. Maybe Malik was right...Yamis can and do fall in love...'
Maybe tomorrow I would go to school with Ryou, in my soul room of course. Maybe...Hikari would be there...and maybe Ryou might believe I am going to change...because I swear I will.
-Malik-
I could hear Hikari tossing and turning in her bed from my room. I had been getting stuff ready to start public school but decided to check on her. When I walked in the door she was squirming under the covers and saying things unknown to my ears.
I walked over to her and gently shook her.
"Noo..." She said softly, obviously having a bad dream. Within a few more seconds her eyes opened and she took a large intake of air.
"Malik? I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I just had a bad dream" She said to me.
"It's okay" I said, placing my hand on her forehead. "It seems that your temperature has gone down. I think you'll be fine to go to school tomorrow but Isis will check on you when she gets home from work" I smiled.
"Thank you Malik..."
-Hikari-
Malik was so nice to me, all the more reason to forget about Bakura. But the dream I had...what was it about? The future? Maybe a premonition?
That night as the three of us sat eating dinner Isis and I planned to go shopping tomorrow after school, since I was well enough to attend.
"Oh wait!" I gasped. "I don't have my school uniform or any of my books!"
"I can take you back to Ryou's house to get your stuff" Said Malik as he stood. "But I suggest you change first"
"Yeah I guess you're right" I look at the nightgown I am still wearing.
"You can borrow some of my clothes" Said Isis as she left the room. A few minutes later she appeared with a dark red t-shirt and tan pants. "I'm sorry if they are a little big"
"It's no problem. Thank you Isis" I go and change and soon enough Malik and I are on the road and on the way to Ryou's house to get my school things.
As we pull up to the house I hesitate. "I really don't want to run into either of them now..." I say to Malik.
"They aren't home. I can't sense either of them" He reassures me. I pull a key out from my pocket. I am glad I had remembered to pick up one before I left the house a few days ago...unlocking the door I crept upstairs and grabbed my schoolbook bag. Inside it I stuck my cd player, cds, a sketchpad, all my schoolwork, 2 changes of my uniform and a few days change of clothes. Nodding in approval I left my room and went back outside to where Malik was waiting.
"I'm ready" I say as I wrap my arms around him and we drive back to the Ishtar's apartment.
The next morning I was up early and took a quick shower. I pulled my hair up into a quick ponytail and got dressed my usual school uniform, shoes and socks. Walking out into the dining room I saw Isis and Malik sitting at the table drinking coffee and talking.
"Good morning!" They both say to me as I take a seat and eat a muffin from the bowl on the table.
"Did you have a good sleep?" Asked Isis. I nodded, not wanting to talk with food in my mouth.
"Well sis we better get going, right Hikari?" Malik asks as he stands. I nod and pick up my book bag off the floor by my seat.
"Be good today Malik, I'm sure Hikari will look after you though" She smiles and hugs her brother goodbye.
"See you after school for shopping!" Isis says to me as I walk with Malik out the door. We walk down the flight of stairs to the main level and out into the parking lot. Before we leave Malik opens the door to his sister's car and pulls out a package. I raise an eyebrow as he hands me the box.
"Just think of it as a 'glad you feel better' present" He says. I open it and pull out a light blue motorcycle helmet with dark blue lines. I gasp.
"This must have cost you a fortune" I exclaim.
"Don't worry about it. Now you don't have to worry about us getting pulled over by the police and maybe I can teach you to ride on your own" He smiles.
"Thank you Malik!" I hug him not noticing the blush that creeps to his cheeks.
I strap the helmet on and we ride towards the Domino High School.
"As we near the school I see Yugi, Ryou and their friends standing at the entrance to the school. They turn their heads as we speed past and along with other students, head towards the parking lot to see whom the two riders of the motorcycle were.
Malik got off the bike first and took off his helmet. I could hear most or all of the girls there squeal because there was a new cute guy at the school. Rolling my eyes I pulled off my helmet and adjusted my book bag straps.
"Hikari?!" Ryou nearly screams. He runs over to Malik and I. "Where have you been?"
"I've been staying with Malik for a while. I am so sorry Ryou; I didn't mean to leave so soon. I just had a disagreement and I needed to have time to myself. I really am sorry" I say, my eyes welling with tears. "I didn't mean to make you guys worry about me. I should've called"
"It's okay" He says. "At least you were in good hands" He says nodding towards Malik.
"Ryou, you don't know how much I've missed you" I say softly, it was good to be back with my friends again.
-Ryou-
As soon as I see Hikari I feel my Yami stir in his soul room. He must have seen her too. But what was this feeling coming from him, jealousy?
I question her before we walk into the school building together. It turns out that Malik would be in the same class as the rest of us.
I just hoped that nobody else would go missing before the dance this Friday. Which reminded me, whom would I go with? I think about this through most of the class period. I was going to ask Hikari...but she was going with Malik...hmm...Yugi and Tea were going together as well as Mai and Joey and Miho and Tristan. I always seemed to be the odd man out...Oh well. Maybe I would find somewhere there...
Nuriko: Dun dun dunnn! Ryou has quite a dilemma and was Bakura really jealous of Malik? Well, you'll have to see in the next chapter :D
Bakura: I am not jealous of Malik --; I am much better looking then him!
Malik: In your dreams!
They both begin fighting.
Nuriko: Okay boys, break it up. You know those two are hopeless. How will we ever get them to behave on our trips?
Kenji: I don't know. Maybe sit them in front of the tv?
Nuriko: Yeah, maybe. You'll have to send me a postcard from France by the way!
Kenji: and you from Hawaii :D
Nuriko: Okay ^_^
Kenji: No what should we do about them now?
Nuriko: I got it...HEY BOYS! 'WHO'S LINE IS IT ANYWAYS' IS ON!!
Bakura and Malik: *rush off in a cloud of dust*
Kenji and Nuriko: O.o; Very effective...
Nuriko: Stay tuned for the next chapter and thank you to everyone who has reviewed!
