A Beckoning Soul

Chapter: Five: Loneliness

See the photo
Of us smiling
Standing
Cheek to cheek
I look at it
And loneliness
Starts to fill me
Even if I dream
Even if I cry
Even if I get hurt
Reality keeps coming on
Recklessly
I wanna find out
Who I am
The value of
Being me
Gonna take up
Who I've been
Until now...


Yami swished around the water in his glass. He hadn't said a word in hours...and the silence was agonizing and painful. Malik looked at him, kind of feeling sorry for the pharaoh. Bakura walked in the door with soda and various snacks. Yami Malik was looking through Anthy's CDs, trying to find one suitable for the occasion.

Damn.

Yami set his glass down and walked over to the picture hanging on the wall, the one of him and Anthy by the ocean. He moved it aside and like he was told...a code box.

7

Sings to the end of the world

7

Dragons of Earth

7

Dragons of Heaven


A door opened, and inside was a CD. One that was obviously never released.

"Hurricane." Yami whispered. The title of course.

Yami Malik snatched it and put it in the CD player, hitting play in the process.

The first song was called 'Stay.'

You say
I only hear what I want to
You say
I talk so all the time
So

And I thought
What I felt was simple
And I thought
That I don't belong
And now that
I am leaving
Now I know that
I did something wrong
'Cause I missed you
Yeah
I missed you
You say
I only hear what I want to
I don't listen hard
Don't pay attention
To the distance
That you're running
To anyone
Anywhere
I don't understand
If you really care
I'm only hearing negatives
No
No
Good-bye
So I
I turn the radio on
I turn the radio up
And this woman was
Singing my song
Lovers in love
And the others run away
Lover is crying
'Cause the other won't stay
Sometimes I wonder
Why we're waiting for the others
Who were
Dying since the day they were born
You look back
You think that I'm throwing
But I'm thrown
And I thought
I'd live forever
And now I'm not so sure
You try to tell me that I'm clever
But that won't take me anyhow
Or anywhere
With you
You said that I was naïve
I thought that I was strong
I thought Hey
I can leave
I can leave
But now I know
That I was wrong
'Cause I missed you
You said you
Called me 'cause you want me
One day you let me go
You try to give away a keeper
Or keep me 'cause you know
You're just so scared to lose
And you say
Stay
You say
I only hear what I want to


Bakura, Malik and his yami never saw stone shed tears before.


And find the
Strength to
Throw it all
Away
Strip down
To nothing at all
Become like a
Rose petal
Blowing free!
And even if
The two of us
Are ever torn
Apart
I swear that I
Will change
The world


Anthy spread her wings and flew over to the wisteria tree. She was kind of mad at the Almighty for calling her back so soon. Would Yami pull something? Would Bakura attempt murder? The questions drove her mad. Her wings folded behind her and she leaned against the tree. It seemed glad to have her back.

"Something bothering you Anthy?"

Anthy looked up and saw one of the four angel masters, Hotaru. He was the master of Fire. He had short, blonde hair and wings that shone brighter than Anthy's. His green eyes stared down at her.

"What would be bothering me?" Anthy asked dully. Hotaru landed and sat in front of her.

"You miss Yami Yugi, don't you?"

Anthy's eyes darkened.

"How do you know about that?!"

"The Almighty told all of us."

"Damn."

Hotaru sighed. Anthy sank back against the wisteria tree, wings not emitting much light. She was depressed. She had loved him deeply, and missed him.

"Why don't you sing?" Hotaru asked.

Anthy looked at him, puzzled. Sing?

"Mew?"

"You seem happier when you're singing. Try it."

Anthy stood up and stretched her wings out. There was a tiny blizzard of feathers before she began.

"I hold the light
And the darkness in my heart
Trembling while I
Embrace the shadows
Tearing me apart
I won't give up
All the dreams that I have chased
And the love
Will be there
And will come to me again
With pride
When I look to the sunset
All the colors so beautiful
That my tears fall right down
Into the sea
To the ocean of my heart
Though the brightness of the sun
Has drifted far away
Tomorrow the holds
Sunshine of
A brand new day for me
I hold the light
And the darkness in my heart
Trembling while I
Embrace the shadows
Tearing me apart
I won't give up
All the dreams that I have chased
And the love
Will be there
And will come to me again
With each rising sun
I'll find the future that is mine."

Hotaru clapped, and that was soon joined by three other angels. Hisui, the angel of wind, Kanoe, the angel of water, and Miroke, the angel of earth had come to listen. Anthy bowed. Her heart still felt lonely. The wisteria tree pulsed with joy, having heard her sing again.

"There is a way that you could go back to them." Kanoe said, running his fingers through his wild blue hair.

"Don't even suggest that!" Hotaru shouted. He secretly like Anthy, and was glad she was back.

"Why not? Her heart is clearly back on earth with Yami Yugi. Don't you see that?" Hisui asked.

"The Almighty wouldn't stand for it! She belongs here with others like her. She is light and he is dark."

"Is something wrong with that?" Miroke asked. She was the youngest, and wasn't too clear on the lines of love.

"Of course there is! Ask the Almighty himself."

"Opposites attract Hotaru." Kanoe said.

"ENOUGH!!!!!"

Everyone looked over at Anthy. Her eyes burned with fire greater that Hotaru's strongest spells. Her wings were arched, ready to take off.

"If there's a way for me to go back...tell me." She said.

Kanoe smiled.

"You'll have one or two choices, A) Ask the Almighty or B) Give up your wings and stay on earth until the four angel masters get you back."

Anthy sat down. Wings or direct approach. Was there no way to get this done smoothly?

"If you gave up your wings, you'd have to leap the gate and destroy the shield." Hisui said.

"You'd have to be able to use the strongest angel spell in Heaven." Kanoe said.

Anthy looked up at him.

"The Diiger Blade."

The Diiger Blade was the most powerful spell in Heaven. None of the four angel masters could use it, but there must have been a reason for Kanoe to mention it...

Could she be able to do it?

"Think about it. And when you've come to your decision, find me." Kanoe said, smiling very much like Joey Katsuya (I like that. It's just morphing the two names.)

"We're both right behind you A-chan!" Miroke said, grinning and flapping her wings to get enough lift to take off with Hisui and Kanoe behind her.

Hotaru stayed behind, he watched her.

"I'm leaving. I feel like flying. Alone." Anthy hissed. She spread her wings and took off.

The angel flew to Kanoe's realm and sat on one of the few oceans. The whole issue of wings was interesting to her. She loved to fly, but she also loved Yami. Maybe a song would help her out. Singing always seemed to calm her down and was helpful in times of thought or fright. She was both. She wondered why Hotaru was acting so strange, but it shouldn't go to her head. The fish in the ocean realm swam up to the shore to hear her sing. (It's heaven. It works.)

"Let's live out lives heroically
Let's live them with style
And even if the two of us
Are ever torn apart

Take my revolution

In the sunlit garden
We both joined out hands
Drawing close for comfort
We both swore

Never again would we ever fall in love

See the photo of us smiling
Standing cheek to cheek
I look at it and loneliness
Starts to fill me

Even if I dream
Even if I cry
Even if I get hurt
Reality keeps coming on
Recklessly

I wanna find out who I am
The value of being me
Gonna take up who I've been
Until now...

And find the strength to
Throw it all away
Strip down to nothing at all
Become like a rose petal

Blowing free!

And even if the two of us
Are ever torn apart

I swear that I will change the world."

Anthy reflected on the song. If she learned the Diiger Bolt, she would really change this world. Heaven was a world, Diiger Bolt could change it. She assumed that when she was called back to Heaven, she and Yami Yugi were torn apart.

"I don't need my wings." She said to herself.

Anthy looked down at the fish, and then at the water.

"KANOE!!!!!"

The angel master appeared out of nowhere and walked towards her.

"Did you reach a decision?" He asked, cocking his head to one side in a classic anime fashion.

Anthy took a deep breath.

"I want to learn the Diiger Bolt. I want to change the world."

@$%^&&&&&&&&&&&&&&^%@

Anthy: DIIGER BOLT!!!!!!

Anshi: You haven't learned it yet.

Bastet: *shakes head.*

Anthy: SO?
