When Angels Deserve to Die

____________________________________________________________________

Bakura couldn't believe it. One minute, the pharaoh was right in front of him, the next he was gone, and then he was back again, leaving. I was all to confusing for the still half asleep tomb robber, who decided he couldn't do any thing about it. So, He did the most logical thing there was to do.

Sleep.

Climbing back into bed, the now tired and confused albino pondered a bit before he dosed off.

'Ryou is going to get hell after he gets his ass back over here.'

Then once again the tomb robber was dead to the world in his chaotic dreamland.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Opening his eyes, Yami hastily threw the ring back into the box, Covering it with the other assorted rags and what not that happened to be there. Being especially careful to make sure that it looked like he was never there.

Then, grabbing the ladder he unceremoniously tossed the box back onto the shelf in which it came from.

He then slipped out of the room into the hall, closing the door softly behind him. He slid quickly around any corners there happened to be, and walked safely out of the hospital. 'Feh. I'd like to see the tomb robber do that' Yami thought proudly, heading back toward their house. 'I guess I should check on Yugi.'

After walking about a block, Yami slipped into an abandoned ally. It was the best he could do on a moments notice anyway. The Slender spirit concentrated, entering into the dark corridors of Yugi's mind. As the vista of his surroundings shifted away into the darkness.

Holding his hand out, an oddly shaped key formed in the palm of his hand. It was a dainty little thing, with the top shaped into the eye of Horus.

'I hope Yugi doesn't go asking around like he usually dose…I hate lying.' as the Pharaoh thought on these things, A lock appeared on the outside of The Yellow colored door.

Yugi's room.

"Here goes goes nothing…." Yami thought, reaching for the keyhole. And unlocking the door.

As he walked in, the key once again dissolved back into nothing and he spied Yugi quickly picking up a paper and hiding it behind his back. "Hi Yami!"

Yami smiled at the enthusiastic young boy. 'So young, So Happy.'

Yugi looked up, giving the sweetest look possible to his darker half. "Yami?"

'Here come the questions. I wonder what I could say this time?' Yami mused, Stewing up a good excuse as he plastered his own innocent smile on his face. "Yes? What is it?"

Holding up the hidden item, he revealed that it was a piece of paper with a dark magician. The green background complimented the mage's purple armor, and its position hinted toward that it was ready to attack. It wasn't half bad!

Smiling, the spirit took the paper, putting it in his pocket for further inspection later. "Thank you, Yugi. But aren't you worried about where I went, or what I did?"

The latter looked up at the taller version of himself, a smile curling around his thin lips. 'He still thinks I'm a little kid….' "No, Yami. I'm old enough to realize that you have important things to do that I may not need to know about. If you wanted to tell me, you would of. But you didn't, so I didn't ask."

Yami took the picture out of his pocket, Realizing that Yugi's skills had gotten much better from when he first started drawing.

//flashback//

A younger Yugi from about 2 years ago looked up at Yami with Large, innocent eyes. "Look Yami! I drew this for you!" He held out a crudely drawn picture of a kureboh, but you can tell he tried to put some effort in it.

"Thank you yugi. I'll put it in my desk."

//end//

Ah, he still had that picture. It resided in the drawer of drawings that Yugi had given him over the years. Soon they started to pile up, and if you looked through them, you could see how he improved.

If Yami had control of the body for a long period of time (not including a duel) Yugi would draw a picture for him, for entertainment purposes. Soon, It became almost a tradition for Yugi to draw him a picture.

'Your growing up more and more everyday, Yugi. I want to be there for you, but eventually you will grow up too much, and leave me. I couldn't bear the thought of that for so long, so I tried to treat you like a kid no matter what happened. I guess no matter how much I wish, try, hope, I cant stop you.' Yami stopped down and gave Yugi a gentle hug. (NOT YAOI!!!!! Baka hentais…) "I think this one will go on my wall instead."

Yugi looked up from the warm embrace, His eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "Really?"

"Yes. I'll do that right now. And in the morning, well see Ryou. Ok?"

Remembering the previous issue, He began to worry. "Was the ring still there? Did Bakura do it?"

'I knew it wouldn't last too long' Yami thought, deciding the truth would be best. He just wouldn't give any details. "The ring was still there. Honestly, I'm not really sure if Bakura did it. It didn't seem he did It." sure, He left out the details, but Yugi didn't need to know that, did he? Heh.

Yugi gave the new information some time to process into his brain, thinking of the perfect reply for the tired dark side.

"Ok. Lets get some rest, and then we can see what is up for tomorrow. Ok?"

" Sure, aibou. Ill go do that. Thank you."
