Angel Of Death

Chapter 3- Gathering

Yugi felt sick. Death had visited him in the night, Yami didn't believe him, he was to gather all the item holders he could in on spot, and on top of that he had school today. He wasn't sure how long he sat there staring at where Yami had laid but it seemed like a very short amount of time before...

"Yugi!!!" he's grandfather's voice echoed off the walls. "Breakfast!!!" He really didn't feel very hungry at what was gonna take place today. "It's pancakes!!!" Mmmmmm....pancakes...

~15 minutes late~

As Yugi walked into the kitchen dressed in his school uniform Yami practically ran out of his soul room into the real world.

"What is the wonderful smell??" he said as he spotted the pancakes "PANCAKES!!!" and began stuffing his face. Yugi sat down next to Yami as he stuffed his face.

"Eat up Hikari!!!" Yami said between breathes and stuffing pancakes into his mouth. Yugi took some but only to make Yami happy.

"Good Morning!" Grandpa said as he walked into the kitchen. "Ugh..." he gagged as he spotted Yami stuffing his face.

Yugi laughed at his grandfathers face. "Do you even taste when you eat?" Grandpa asked. Causing Yugi to laugh harder.

After all the pancakes were gone Yugi decided he should start on his way to school. He and Yami bid Grandpa a farewell and headed down the street. Yugi was unusually quiet.

/What's wrong Yugi?/ he asked concerned.

// No, It's nothing.// Yugi said smiling trying to cover up the worried look he had all over his face a moment ago.

/Your lying./ Yami said simply. /Your not very good at lying.../

//I swear it's nothing!!// Yugi said.

/But.../ Yami was gonna make a fight out of this until Joey came running up behind them and hit the two twin like boys on the back almost knocking Yugi over.

"Morning you two!!" he said happily.

"Good morning Joey!" Yugi said happily trying to convince Yami that he was alright. The two of them chatted happily about a test they had today. Tea walked up to the three of them followed shortly by Tristan. The group of friends walked to school.

*pant, pant* "M, morning guys!!!" came a familiar voice from behind them as they neared the school. They turned to see Ryou running towards them.

"Morning Ryou!" Yugi said as he leaned over trying to catch his breath.

"Hey, psycho boy ain't around is he?" Joey asked looking behind Ryou for Bakura.

"You mean me?" Bakura said coming forth from the ring much to Joey's surprise.

"AIEE!" he screeched and hid behind Tea.

"Oh, grow up Joey." Tea said giving him a look of superiority. "After all! Ryou's our friend!! (A/N-Oh, boy...) Friend's stick together!!!And if Ryou trusts Bakura then we should!!"

"I never said I trusted him..." Ryou said eyeing his Yami. "In fact yesterday he blew up my microwave and I started getting hate mail from telemarketers... That's why he's here instead of at home."

"Oh...." Tea said looking kinda stupid.

"Well don't you all look happy." an icy voice said from behind Tea causing her to shriek loudly.

"You idiot!" Bakura said between fits of laughter. The rest of the group turned to see Marik looking grimly up at the school.

"Why Marik this is the first time you've been to school in what a week? Two?" Yami asked.

"Shut up!" he said defensively. "It's not like you go! I'm only coming because I was being threatened..."

"Aren't you always threatened by your yami?" Tristan asked.

"It wasn't my life that was threatened nor was it my yami..." he was now glaring at no one in particular. He began mumbling under his breath after that.

"Well, you know what I think?" Joey whispered to Yugi. "I think-"

"Joey?" Yugi asked looking at him. He seemed to be frozen. Ryou seemed to be having the same problem with everyone else and Marik was still muttering.

"What happened to them?" Ryou asked snapping in front of Tea's face. Marik finally snapped out of his mumbling and realized what was going on.

"They all stopped." looking up and down the street.

"Gah! You took forever..." a voice said from above them. Yugi thought it was eerily familiar... A figure floated from the top of the building on their left. "I'm thinking these two are all were gonna get." a feminine voice said.

"Oh... hehehehe... Hello death.." Yugi said laughing nervously.
