I'm falling Deeper into The unknown Falling Down to the Mortal realm I lost the fight And so I fall

Yugi heard a noise outside, Yami didn't. Yugi raced out to investigate, Yami followed.

There were a few leaves drifting silently to the ground. The cold night wind blew viciously at their faces. Yugi ran under the tree and shone the flashlight upwards. There was a little river of blood running down the trunk and a small bloodstained ribbon fluttering in the wind. Yami climbed the tree and returned with a beautiful 15-16 year-old girl in his arms. Her long white hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail with stray strands hanging in her face. She wore a silver, silk-like sleeveless tank top and black skin-tight shorts with silver trimmings. There were fingerless blue gloves on her hands and silver bracelets on her wrists. She didn't have any type of footwear, just a few tattoos on her legs. She had a silver and sapphire locket and in her hands was a thin black staff with rings around a loop near the top. She had black Malik-style earrings. On her face were three markings. A small blue diamond on her forehead and two small blue triangles under her eyes. She was stained in blood.

The two brought her inside as quickly as they could, as the wind died down outside.



The girl opened her eyes after midnight. Yami had pulled up a chair and was watching her. Her white, snake-like eyes looked around as she sat up quickly. She cringed and held her side.

"Take it easy, no one's going to hurt you." Yami said, putting one hand on her shoulder.

The girl looked around.

"Where am I? And who are you?" She demanded.

Yami was almost offended by her sudden action. But he answered her questioned.

"You are here. I am Yami Yugi, my aibou is upstairs sleeping. And who are you?" Yami said.

The girl sat facing him.

"I am a goddess, first class unlimited. My name is Heartzenen." She said.

Yami nodded.

"Like the manga Ah! My Goddess?" Yami explained.

"You could say that. Where did you say your aibou was?"

"Upstairs, asleep."

Heartzenen's eyes widened with fear. She picked her staff up off the floor and tried to run upstairs. Yami caught her halfway. She was still weak from, whatever. Heartzenen pushed past him and tried to open the door to Yugi's bedroom. Yami grabbed her and tried to hold her back, but as she said, she was a goddess and had powers of her own. She burst into the room and gasped. Yami moved first, grabbed Yugi and rolled out of the way of some strange, hellish demon-like creature. Heartzenen swung her staff, rings chiming like strange bells. The demon shrieked and went after Yami.

"STOLEN DREAM!" She shouted.

A white miasma erupted behind Heartzenen. Another girl emerged. She had short white hair with black streaks and nothing past her waist, just a stream of white miasma wrapped around her---like Blessed Bell from Ah! My Goddess. She had a white, towel sized cloth around her chest. But it was rather revealing. She had black lines on her arms, on *those* and her face. She also had one white feather wing and one black feather wing. The demon hissed as the girl flew at him. The window opened and the three jumped.

"Heartzenen!" Yami shouted, racing to the window. Heartzenen was flying after the demon with the other girl-angel-thing behind her. She smacked it head on with her staff and there was a brilliant flash of light. Then it was gone.

Heartzenen returned and the girl vanished. Yami's jaw dropped. They headed downstairs after Yugi was back in bed. Heartzenen pushed Yami's mouth shut.

"What-was-who-wat-wha?"

"Who, who, who. You sound like an owl." Heartzenen said.

Yami tried again to form a sentence.

"Who was that other girl? And what was that?"

"The girl was an angel. My angel to be exact. Her name is Stolen Dream. That demon was a corruption in the system."

"A virus?"

"Sort of."

Heartzenen leaned on her staff and sighed.

"If you're a goddess, how did you come from heaven to here?"

"I fell."

"Well, yeah."

"I was originally sent to guard someone else, but the gate got messed up and there was (and to my knowledge) and still is a battle going on. I fell through this gate and landed in your tree. And as you know, when you rescue a goddess, you're granted a wish."

Yami thought. A wish. Hnnnnn.

"I wish for you to be able to stay with us as long as I live!"

Heartzenen raised one eyebrow.

"Is that what you wish?"

"Yes!"

Heartzenen folded her hands and glowed a misty blue.

"Your wish has been accepted. You two are stuck with me for a while kid." She said, patting Yami's head.
