~ Yami no Bakura's POV ~

It's been exactly one year... That's how long it's been since my hikari
died and left me to live his life, but I still can't let go. All of his old
friends have been keeping tabs on me to make sure I kept my promise. I told
the Farao no baka about my promise to Ryou and he told everyone else. I
have been pretty good about it though. School is boring and right now I
just wanna get home and listen to Ryou's, now my CDs. I look up at the
clock just as the bell rings. The teacher let us go and I packed my books
and stood up to leave.

*How can you see into my eyes like open doors*

"Bakura!" I turned around and glared at Yuugi. They had all been calling me
Bakura since Ryou died.

"What... do... you... want...?" I growled out.

"We just thought you'd like some company today Bakura..." Tea said.

*Leading you down into my core*

"No I do not! I just wanna be alone today!" I turned and ran out of the
class room only stopping at my locker long enough to drop off the books I
wouldn't need and pick up the books I did need.

*Where I've become so numb*

I ran out of the school and raced across the school yard. None of the
bullies that had picked on Ryou before dare to come near me. I had a bit of
a bad rep.

*Without a soul my spirits sleeping somewhere cold*

I dash away from the school and was about a block away before I heard
screaming and then something I never expected to hear...

*Until you find it there and lead it back home*

/YAKURA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET OFF THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!/ Ore no chibi tenshi...
I tried to move off of the road but it was to late. The truck hit and all I
felt as I hit the road was an odd numbness. The truck drove off like
nothing even happened.

*(Wake me up) Wake me up inside*

/Yakura! Say something! Onegai!!!/ I heard Ryou's voice again but I
couldn't see him from where I was lying.

*(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside*

//Ryou-koi...? Where are you? I thought you had died...// I whispered.

/Boku no akutenshi... I am dead... I guess you could say I'm your guardian
angel... Some guardian I turned out to be.../

*(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark*

//Tenshi... Can I please see you?// I asked quietly.

/Of course!/ He became visible standing over me with a worried expression
on his face.

//Ore no kirei tenshi// He blushed at my comment. But his expression became
even more worried.

*(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run*

He looked up listening intently to the blurry voices that I was hearing and
trying hard to ignore.

*(I can't wake up) Before I come undone*

/I'll be right back Yakura-koi.../ He vanished again and soon another voice
joined the already large mass of blurry voices that I couldn't understand.

*(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become*

~ Bakura's POV ~

I went invisible again as I continued listening to the ambulance attendant
talking with Yuugi-tachi while the other worked to get Yakura to stop
bleeding.

*Now that I know what I'm without*

I left Yakura's side long enough for me to duck into an ally and change to
human form.

I ran out and dashed past Yuugi and fell to my knees beside Yakura. I know
I had to call him by my name 'cause that's who he was supposed to be.
"Ryou!!! Talk to me! Onegai!!!"

*You can't just leave me*

"I'm afraid your gonna have to move out of the way sir." The attendant
lightly shoved me away.

*Breathe into me and make me real*

"Can I at least come on the ambulance?" I asked. The attendant nodded and I
stayed back while he loaded Yakura. The second attendant climbed into the
ambulance and I followed right after him looking back at my former friends
before the doors shut.

*Bring me to life*

I tried talking to him through the link only to get static from his side.
He's out... My job is to save his life then I can possibly come back. I
won't tell him that though... I don't wanna get his hopes up.

*(Wake my up) Wake me up inside*

I sat there playing with my hair as the attendant asked me questions about
him. Name, age, address, phone number. The usual things that are asked
about a patient. I answered all the questions and started to relax glad
that the man hadn't asked who I was.

*(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside*

"I need to know your name as well sir." I spoke to soon... Well... Since
Yakura is using my name... I'll just use his...

*(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark*

"Boku wa Ookami Yakura(1) desu. I'm Ryou's boyfriend."

~ An angel's POV ~ {Two days later}

I hope Ryou manages to save Yakura soon... This angels gift won't be much
of a gift if the person he wants to come back for is dead. I think Yakura
has been saved though. I can't be sure...

*(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run*

"Amane(2). You best leave them alone for now." Another angel stepped up
beside me.

"Hello 'Kaasan..." I glanced down at them again. Ryou had finally been let
into the room where Yakura was and was now leaning over him stroking his
cheek. I smiled at them then turned to face my mother, Reia(3). "Tell me
'Kaasan, is there still a chance Yakura might die?"

*(I can't wake up) Before I come undone*

"Hai... From what the doctors say, if he doesn't wake up soon he'll never
wake up at all..." She replied.

"Nani??? Oh, my poor little brother(4)... And this has been given to him by
the life angels..." I pulled a little glowing ball from my robes showing it
to 'Kaasan.

*(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become*

"So no matter what happens he still gets to come back? You would think the
life angels would know more compassion..." 'Kaasan shook her head.

"I really hope Ryou can help Yakura pull through..." I whispered.

*Bring me to life*

~ Ryou's POV ~

I was really glad when they finally let me in to see Yakura. I've missed
him sooooo much...

*I've been living a lie*

I leaned over him and stroked his cheek. The doctors told me that he
probably won't live. He didn't even respond to my touch.

*There's nothing inside*

"Come on koi... Wake up... Onegai... Yakura..." I know talking to him
wouldn't do much good seeing as he's in a coma... But it still makes me
feel a bit better.

*Bring me to life*

I pulled a chair up and sat beside the bed and held his hand hoping with
everything I had that Yakura would make it.

*Frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling*

"Aishiteru Yakura-koi..." I pillowed my head on the bed and closed my eyes.

*Only you are the life among the dead*

~ Yuugi's POV ~

Me and the others walked into Yakura's hospital room carrying flowers and
get well soon cards. Even though they are pretty darn useless since Yakura
is in a coma... I shut the door and turned around to see the others hadn't
moved and where just staring. I moved past Jyounouchi and gasped.

I can't believe this!! It's impossible! I thought I saw him race past me
outside the school but seeing him sitting there proves I wasn't seeing
things.

~ Ryou's POV ~

I lifted my head from the bed as I heard some loud frantic whispers. Is
that the doctors? I rubbed my bleary eyes and looked over at the source. It
was my friends... They all looked very startled to see me. Well, it's no
surprise that they are shocked. I would be too. I offered them a forced
smile. "Hey guys..."

"Bakura? Is that really you?" Yuugi asked running his eyes up and down my
form.

"Yeah... It's me." I whispered, glancing down at Yakura before standing up
and facing my former friends.

"Demo... your dead. Aren't you?" Jyounouchi asked, shock clearly written
all over his face.

"Hai. Your right. I am dead. I guess you could call me Yakura's guardian
angel..." I looked back at Yakura with tears in my eyes.

"Some guardian you are! He's gonna die because of you!!!" Tea snapped at
me. I snapped my head back in her direction with an obviously shocked look
on my face.

"I know... I wasn't quick enough to save him! All I had to do was push him
out of the way! It's all my fault..." I sank to my knees with tears running
down my cheeks. I had made a mistake and now Yakura was paying for it.

*All this time I can't believe I couldn't see*

I looked up at the sound of a slap to find that Shizuka had slapped Tea.

"Don't you ever say something like that again!!! How dare you call yourself
Ryou's friend!!! Your a self-centered bitch!!! That's all you are!!! And I
really think Yami Yuugi should have slapped you when you started to hit on
him when he and Yuugi where already going out!!! Maybe that would have
knocked some brains into that empty head of yours!!!" Shizuka snarled,
while Mai grinned at the smaller brown haired duelist(5) and everyone else
just stared at her.

"What? I can get mad at people who hurt my friends just like the rest of
you, you know." She said and winked at me while offering her hand to help
me up.

"Why would you want to defend me? I'm worthless. I couldn't even save the
one I love from getting hit by a truck..." I whispered.

"It's not your fault Ryou." Another voice whispered behind me. I turned a
little to find that my big sister, Amane was right behind me also having
her hand outstretched to help me up.

"Yeah. It was never your fault, and I'm sure Yakura wouldn't blame you
either!" Yuugi said also offering his hand.

*Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me*

Soon everyone 'cept Tea and, of course, Yakura had their hands held out to
help me up(6). I watched as Tea stormed out of the room growling something
about baka people not knowing who was better then who. I took Shizuka's and
Amane's hands and allowed them to pull me up before I hugged Amane tightly.

"You know? I'm glad I don't need to breathe. I'd be pretty blue in the face
if I did." She said in a somewhat squeaky voice 'cause I was squeezing to
hard.

"Bakura... Look... I think Yakura is waking up." Mariku said quietly and I
immediately broke away from Amane and went to Yakura's side. I watched as
his eyelids fluttered and opened allowing me to see his dark amber eyes.

~ Mystery POV ~

'Well this is turning out okay... I knew that I could find someway to help
them... They are, after all, destined to be together. If Yami no Bakura had
died he would have gone back to the Ring... It would have been a very sad
thing to see... And I hate being sad...' I smile and spread my wings. 'It's
best I go before they catch on to me...'

~ Bakura's POV ~

"Tenshi...? Aishiteru, ore no tenshi..." He smiled weakly at me and took my
hand in his gripping as tight as he could. "Don't leave me again...
Onegai..."

"I don't know if I have a choice koi..." I whispered back.

*I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems*

"That's why I'm here little brother..." I looked over at Amane as she
pulled a small glowing ball from one of her robes pockets.

"Amane? Is that...?" She nodded.

"We should do this where no one will see or hear us though..." She noticed
Yakura's look at the thought of me leaving. "Don't worry. I'll bring him
back. You'll have him back in no time. Just rest 'kay?"

Yakura nodded and I ditched my human form but kept myself visible to
everyone in the room. Everyone gasped as I spread my large wings.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you look like the Change of Heart card(7),
Ryou?" Mai asked and I grinned.

"I kinda noticed that myself... It's no wonder that I like that card so
much. I'm what's termed as a yin-yang angel." I smiled at everyone then
grinned at Yakura who was just watching me.

"You really are my tenshi..." He said and I blushed.

*Got to open my eyes to everything*

"I'll be back soon koi..." I said as Amane transported us to the middle of
a forest.

"Here Ryou... I warn you thought... it'll hurt." Amane said and handed me
the ball. It was quickly absorbed by my body and I screamed. She was right.
It does hurt. A lot.

"Ryou!!!" Amane caught me as I fell. I look up at her one last time before
I blacked out from the pain...

*Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul*

~ Amane's POV ~

Oh shit... He passed out. Well... at least it's over now... He's alive
again. Gotta get him back to the hospital and Yakura. Or maybe I should
just take him home. I picked him up and transported us to the hospital.

"Bakura!!!" We were swarmed by all of his friends and I had to use my wings
to push them away. I walked over to the bed where Yakura was. He gave Ryou
a worried look.

"Don't worry Yakura. He's just resting. It is hard coming back to life.
Especially if you have to recreate your body 'cause your former one is
useless." I winked at him and smiled as Yakura reached up and ran his hand
over Ryou's cheek.

"Can I hold him please...?" Yakura asked me. I nodded and placed Ryou on
the bed beside Yakura, who took Ryou into his arm's and held him against
his chest. I then turned towards Ryou's friends.

*Don't let me die here*

"Go on! Get outta here and leave them alone! They have some catching up to
do when Ryou wakes up!!!" I went invisible and herded them out then came
back in and shut the door becoming visible again.

*There must be something more*

~ Yami no Bakura's POV ~

"Arigatou gozaimasu Amane..." I said and looked down at the sleeping tenshi
in my arms.

"Iya... Don't thank me... I didn't do anything but help 'Kaasan take care
of him up there..." She smiled at me and Ryou. "Look... I gotta go. But
don't worry, me and our 'Kaasan will be watching. You had better take good
care of him this time, Yakura! We won't be able to bring him back a second
time!" She winked at me again and kissed Ryou on the cheek before
disappearing.

*Bring me to life*

"Hey... It's time to wake up tenshi..." I said shaking Ryou's shoulder a
little.

"Nn... Yakura...?" He blinked sleepily at me.

*(Wake me up) Wake me up inside*

"I'm here tenshi..." //I will always be here for you. Aishiteru.// I kissed
and nibbled at Ryou's ear and he blushed.

*(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside*

/Aishiteru mo, boku no kirei akutenshi/ He moved himself closer to me, and
for the first time since he died I felt complete...

*(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become*

~ Reader's POV~

Unnoticed to Bakura and Yakura a single silver feather floated gently to
the ground and soft unheard silvery laughter faded away...

*I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life*

///Bakura Ryou & Ookami Yakura, together forever, till the end of
time.........///(8)

*******

Well, that's it! The end!!! No more!!! I've finish it!!! Now I can get back
to writing 'Tenshi'!!!!!!!!!! And again, this is dedicated to my BFF, Nyxie-
chan!!! I MISS YOU NYXIE-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Hugs* I can't _WAIT_
to talk to you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KIRIKO: Mira-sama doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, or the song 'Bring me to Life'. Nor
does she own Evanescence. So no suing Mira-sama!!!

Arigatou Kiri-chan... Hm... I gotta write explanations for some of the
stuff I wrote... Then I'll get to the Japanese translations for those who
don't speak Jap. ^^

(1) Yakura is the name I made up for Yami no Bakura. At first it's only
Bakura who calls him that, then every one else starts... Then Bakura has to
think of a last name for his yami(which ends up being the Jap word for
wolf... Yes... Ookami does mean wolf.)... The story that comes with that
name is pretty funny... But it was from a private irl role play session so
I'm not telling how I came up with the name... ^^;;;

(2) For those who don't know who she is: She's does not belong to me! She's
mentioned in the manga!!! She _is_ Ryou Bakura's sister!!! ^___________^

(3) I don't know who Bakura's mom is or what she's like. So I called her
Reia 'cause I like that name. ^_^

(4) I'm not sure if Amane was older or younger when she died... So I made
her older. ^^

(5) Shizuka does duel! I've scene part of the VR2 arc. Shizuka duels in it.
And she's pretty good! ^____^

(6) This scene sound familiar? Only it was Jyounouchi on the floor, not
Bakura-kun... And Amane took Anzu's place. ^^;;;

(7) Heh... Bakura's angel form looks like the Change of Heart... You guys
have all watched the episode where they all get their souls put in their
fav cards by Yami no Bakura, right? Well... Just think of that... If you
don't remember it, e-mail me at Kiriko_Moutou@hotmail.com for the pic.
^_____^

(8) The mystery voice at the end of the chappie is... Heh... My Egyptian
character Seti Ankhare. She's kewl and I'm writing a fic about her...
^____^ And incase anyone want's to know who the mystery person(or, rather,
angel in this fic) who helped Bakura and Yakura... Well... I'm sure you can
guess... *laughs*

Here's the Jap list. ^^;;;

Farao no baka = Idiot Pharaoh/Stupid Pharaoh

Ore no chibi tenshi = My little angel

Onegai = Please

Koi = Love

Boku no akutenshi = My evil angel

Tenshi = Angel (They sure do say 'angel' alot, ne?)

Ore no kirei tenshi = My pretty angel (Yakura was pretty out of it, ne?)

Boku wa Ookami Yakura desu = I am Yakura Ookami

'Kaasan = Mom

Hai = Yes

Nani = What

Aishiteru = I love you

Demo = But

Arigatou gozaimasu = Thank you

Iya = No

There! Jap list is done! ^_^ Anyway... I hope everyone had fun reading
this! I know I had fun writing it! Their might be an epilog if ppl wanna
know what that mystery angel had to do with the story...

BAKURA: *does puppy eyes* R&R minna... Onegai?
