An Angel's Story
Chapter 10
- Hikari -
I nearly fall over in shock. There must be some mistake! I know the house I am staying at was only supposed to be for me! At least…I am pretty sure! And now what? Am I supposed to seriously spend who knows how long in a house with H.O.T?!
"Hikari? Hey, are you okay?" I felt someone poke me in the arm and looked up to see Hee Jun looking at me in a concerned manner.
"Oh yeah, I'm okay, just a little…disturbed?" He laughs and says that everything will work out somehow. I really hoped that he was right.

I didn't get much sleep last night but it was okay. As a spirit I really didn't need much at all. I walked downstairs and to this thing Ryou calls a computer. I had seen him use it before and it didn't seem very hard. I know he had Hikari's email; maybe I could get in contact with her like that.
Ryou was already off at school with the others so I was left to do whatever I wanted around the house.
I pushed a few buttons to activate the weird machine and jumped back in surprise as it made a few weird noises. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
Within about 20 minutes I managed to send out an email to Hikari. I really hoped that she would respond…but I wasn't sure if she would. I get up from the computer and stare out the window. I blink. What was this? I pressed my face up to the window and watched as little white specks fell from the sky.
"Snow? Oh that's right…it is almost Christmas…or whatever it is called…" I say absentmindedly as I sit there in silence and watch the light colored snowflakes fall from the heavens.
I remember a story that Ryou had read once. That snow was actually frozen tears of angels crying up in heaven. I don't know if that is true…but maybe it was…because I knew one thing. Angels are real…and one had been at my side all along. My mind drifts off as I picture Hikari with a halo and white colored wings…

"No Isis! For the last time I am not going back to that hell hole ever again! The only reason I went to school in the first place was because she was there with me. Hikari was there…but now I'm sure she hates me and she's gone anyways!" I scream through the door of my bedroom. My sister pounds on the door but I remain silent.
What was the point of going back anyways? Nothing seemed to matter to me anymore. How could I let one person do this to me? I used to be strong.
"Aibou…" A voice says from my left. I avert my vision to see my Yami. "Don't worry yourself over this…it'll all get better…I know it will…"
I shake my head. "Please just leave me alone now…I don't need any sympathy…" I say as I lean back against my bed and close my eyes.
"Alright…I will respect your wishes." I hear him exit the room and moments later I hear him and my sister begin a conversation. About what, I don't know. I was too dead to even care to listen.
I feel myself falling into a deep sleep. In my dream I see nothing except for darkness, suddenly there is a bright eruption of light and I see a form disintegrate into fire. Who was that person? The next thing I see is Hikari crying by a grave.
"Hikari…don't cry…" I hear myself saying to her…but she does not hear or see me. In defeat I turn away and walk through the light falling snow…away, anywhere that is away.
I awoke with a start, my hands and feet freezing. I stand and take a look out of my bedroom window. Snow...just like in the dream. Was this a sign? Was somebody going to die like in the dream?
- Ryou -
School seemed so boring without Hikari there with her bright and cheerful attitude. Well, at least it was the last week before winter and Christmas break. I was sure glad for that. I may be a good student but that doesn't mean that I enjoy coming to school every single day.
"Hey Ryou, what are you doing after school today?" Yugi asks quietly while the teacher has his back turned to us.
"I don't know, probably just going home." I reply in the same quiet manner.
"Oh…okay, I was wondering if you wanted to come to the game shop and duel with myself and the others…" I could tell he was trying to cheer me up. I declined his offer. Right now I really just needed to be alone, I needed time to think everything over.
"Sorry Yugi…" I say, he nods and gives me a smile telling me it was okay. I felt bad but right now all I wanted was to be away from everyone.
The teacher drones n and on through all of our lessons and I find myself drawing little stick figures and swirls on my papers. How could my life be changed so much by one person? Was this what it felt like to be in love maybe? No, I don't think I like her that way…I just don't know anymore.
The bell rings signaling the end of school for the day and I exit the classroom with my book bag throw over my shoulder. I began to walk for home knowing that it would be only my Yami and I when I got there.
Was life supposed to be this lonely and cruel?
- Hikari -
"Well…home sweet home I guess." I say with a laugh as I enter the room to the house I am sharing with 5 other guys. Woo Hyuk runs off with Tony to see how many bedrooms there are while the others as well as I carry in all of the luggage from the car outside.
"Why don't we take a walk and see if there are any places to buy food around here?" Kang Ta asks me with a smile. I nod and motion to the others that we were leaving and would be back soon.
"So Kang Ta…how long does it take you to write a song?" I ask him as we walk down a narrow sidewalk together.
"I don't know really. I guess it depends what kind of song it is. It takes me a while to write a song and compose music but…sometimes songs can just come to me…like this 'Because it was the angel's story that brought you to me, never to be whisked away. As long as you're here with me baby, you know that I'll never go away.........because it was angles that brought you to me, never to be whisked away'" I watch in awe as he sings a simple song…yet it was filled with so much meaning.
"That's wonderful Kang Ta!" I say with a bright smile.
"It's about you…" He says. I blush under his strong gaze. "I wrote it because you are an angel to me…" And with that he leans down and kisses me gently.
Even against my own will…I pull away.
"I'm sorry Kang Ta…" I say softly, my eyes filling with sadness. He was so sweet…yet…it felt so wrong to be kissing him now.
"I understand…I knew from the start that your heart belonged to another…and now I know for sure that it is true." He gives me a warm smile, showing no anger or hate and then takes my hand and we continue our walk.
"Thank you Kang Ta…for understanding." I say softly, so that he can barely hear. He smiles again, making my heart feel at peace for one of the first times in a long while.
'Maybe sometimes it's just better to have friends then a relationship…because relationships can die…but friendships are always there…'
- Bakura -
I heard as Ryou came home and abruptly went to his room. What was the matter with him? Probably just the same things that were the matter with me.
I went downstairs and logged onto Ryou's email. Drumming my fingers impatiently I waited for his incoming email to arrive. I sighed as it loaded…nothing from her. I could've figured…she was a world away…and probably having a better life then what she had here.
I leaned back in the desk chair. I guess it was just up to time now. I couldn't do anything…but wait…and waiting was always the hardest part.
- Hikari -
"Hey Kang Ta, wait for a second, I want to get some cards for some people for Christmas." I grab his arm to keep him from leaving me.
"Okay, are they your friends?" I nod.
"Yeah…I'm sure they are anxious to hear from me…" My voice trails off as I pick up a few cards and look them over. I finally settle on one with snowflakes and angels on the front. It looked so beautiful as I held it up to the light as I walked home with Kang Ta.
"Why did you leave your friends anyways?" I hear Kang Ta ask me. I sigh; I didn't really want to explain.
"Things just…weren't working out."
"Oh…okay." We walk home in silence. As I arrive home I begin to think of what I shall say to everyone. What should I do? I don't want to sound like I am missing them terribly, though I am…and I don't want to sound like I'm having the time of my life without them here.
'What to do…' I think to myself as I tap my pencil on a desk set up in my room. I had my own room, surprisingly enough. Kang Ta and Hee Jun shared a room and so did Tony, Jae Won and Woo Hyuk.
I sank further into my thought, loosing complete track of time.
"BOO!" Woo Hyuk jumps in front of my face and I scream and fall backwards off of my chair. I clutch my chest and breathe heavily. Woo Hyuk peers over the desk at me and grins before walking over to my side.
"You looked like you were in a trance…I had to get you out of it." He says with a smile. I crinkle my nose and stick my tongued out at him.
"Thank you Woo Hyuk…but…" He gives me a weird look as I say 'but'. "…YOU ARE SO DEAD!" I jump up and make a grab for him. He laughs and runs out of my bedroom and down the stairs, myself following closely behind him. I eventually catch up to him but Tony and Jae Won decide to break us up.
"You know…I think living with you all is exactly the kind of break that I needed." I say to them as we all take a seat at the dinner table and eat our worries away.
Nuriko: Another chappie! Kenji-chan, you put me in the mood to write! ^_^ Anyways, thank you to everyone who reviewed and a BIG THANK YOU to White Tiger who thought up the cute little song that Kang Ta sung for Hikari!
Hikari: So what about the card, what am I going to write? Or am I just gonna ditch them and fall for Kang Ta instead? ^_~
Nuriko: Oh no…the card will go out, trust me.
Hikari: Darn --;
Nuriko: ^^;
Kenji: Because…Kang Ta is mine! ^_^
Nuriko: ^^;;;; Stay tuned everyone!
