Alrighty, here's Chapter 6. (This is where it starts to get really good! ^__^) The italics STILL don't work, so I've decided to use this symbol: +thought+, to show somebody thinking. Alright? (I'll also fix the other chapters.) Enjoy! (P.S: I call Serenity Seren once in a while, but they're the same little sister to Joey. Kay?)

##########################################################################

After the incident with Kurry's mom, the gang decided to head out. They gathered up their stuff, still ribbing each other about Truth or Dare, and dashed past the office where Kurry's mom was working so no more questions would be thrown their way. At the door, Kurry stopped giggling long enough to say, 'Thanks for coming guys. It was fun.'
'Yeah. Thanks for having us. I love your house. I wish I could live here,' Serenity said. *-*
Kurry giggled again. 'Thanks, see ya!'
As Malik was going down the stairs, he suddenly turned and dashed back up to her. 'Here,' he said, thrusting a piece of paper into her hand. 'It's got all our phone numbers on it, so you can call us if you need us.'
'Okay, great. Thanks, again.'
'Bye,' he muttered, running off after the others.
Kurry waved energetically, then shut the door. Opening the paper, she saw all their numbers in a neat row, with Malik's at the very top. Grinning like a giddy child, she thought, +EEEEEEEEEEEE! I have his number!+ and flew on her feet back up to her room.

Kurry was walking down a street, a street like nothing she'd ever seen before. It was paved with gold, and magnificent white buildings rose up on either side. She began to explore, poking around the buildings and looking around for any sign of life. But the street was deserted.
When she came to the end of the street, Kurry saw the edge of what looked like a cliff. She edged over to it and peeked down.
She was looking down at Earth.
Kurry fought the urge to scream in shock. A strong wind began to blow. As Kurry watched, a red pool of fire rose out of the ground towards her. The wind began to suck her in as a hand and then a fire-mangled body reached toward her, beckoning her in. She fought against the wind with all her might, but to no avail, the wind was howling in her ears now, the mangled hand was about to catch her, pull her into the flames...
Kurry screamed aloud and shot straight up in bed. Glancing around wildly, she slowly realised that she was in her own darkened room, in her own comfy bed. She sighed in relief, and flopped back down, pushing her hair out of her eyes.
+Great Ra, that was scary,+ she thought. She'd never had a dream like THAT before. Heck, she didn't think she'd ever had a nightmare, period! Kurry wondered what it could mean. She remembered the flames and the wind and the mangled hand, and shuddered under the covers. Snuggling in deeper, she rolled on her side and tried to go back to sleep, but the image of the mangled hand haunted her the rest of the night.

The next morning Kurry slept a bit late. Her alarm ringing for the third time finally woke her, and when she blearily looked at the time, her eyes flew open and she shot up out of bed. When her mother stuck her head in the room, all she saw was a whirlwind that blew around the room before zooming past her and down the stairs, with a greeting that sounded like, 'GoodmorningmotherI'mrunning late.' Then she was gone.
Hopping on one foot as she put her shoe on, Kurry grabbed her backpack on the way past her father, who was still in his bathrobe. 'Kurry? Don't you want some...' was all he got out before Kurry dashed back in, snatched a bagel from the breadbox, hugged her father goodbye and dashed out the door. 'Byemombyedad!' Mr. Kurishi just smiled. 'Teenagers.'
Kurry jogged most of the way to school, stopping only when she came in sight of the schoolyard and realising that she still had five minutes before the bell. Knowing she wouldn't have enough time to find her friends, Kurry just finished off her bagel and headed towards the building.
Someone whistled behind her. 'Hey baby! Having some troubles?' asked a guy as he and his friends surrounded her. +Oh, just what I need,+ she thought darkly as she stopped.
'What's up?' asked the guy, way too cocky for her liking.
'Nothing much, thanks for asking. Please excuse me,' Kurry answered, trying to push through. As she had feared, they didn't let her.
'Awww, where're ya goin' babe?' another guy said. 'To class,' said Kurry, sharper and colder now. They were about to close in further when a shadow fell over them and a voice said sharply, 'Back off, Bill.'
The four guys looked up. 'Er...hey, Seto...' "Bill" stammered. Kurry turned to see Seto standing at his full height and glaring with ice-blue eyes. He took one menacing step forward and all the guys winced.
'Leave her be,' Seto commanded, quite calmly but still with force.
'Er...right...we were...just leaving...' They dashed away.
Seto gave a satisfied smirk and then glanced at Kurry, who was blushing a bit. Then Serenity appeared from behind Seto. 'Oh my gosh, are you alright? We saw those guys surround you and thought we'd help...' she exclaimed.
'Yes, I'm fine. Thank you.'
'No problem. Those four are creeps anyway. I thought they'd learned their lesson...' Seto muttered. Then he turned to Serenity and offered her his arm. 'Shall we?'
Serenity took it, giggling and blushing. When Kurry raised an eyebrow, she laughed and said, 'He may look tough, but he's just a big softie. Don't tell Joey!' she suddenly begged. Kurry smiled reassuringly. 'Don't worry, I won't!' Then the bell rang and the two moved off. Kurry snorted. 'Never given any indication, my foot. The girl must be blind as a bat,' she muttered, happy for Serenity. Then she dashed off to class.
Malik cocked an eyebrow at her as she came in. 'Oy, you alright?'
'Yeah, yeah, I'm just running late, is all,' Kurry smiled at him, then frowned. 'Oh, and I had a really weird dream last night.'
'Oh? Care to tell?'
Unfortunately at that moment they were interrupted by the bell. 'I'll tell you later,' Kurry sighed as they moved off.
Classes that morning were uneventful, but busy. Kurry found herself enjoying Religion Studies the most. Something about that class was very calming and...familiar, somehow. Today they were learning about Kiramina, the Angel's Domain. The teacher leaned forward slightly on his desk as the students filed in and chose seats. Malik and Kurry sat near the back as usual.
'Alright class, we've gotta cover Kiramina today. Now as many of you know, this is where the angels are said to walk. They are said to be at peace now with the former demons of Rikshana. Not a lot is known about these two places; most of it is myth, legend, or just plain stupidity made up by fools.' The class chuckled. 'There are even some who say it doesn't exist.'
As he said that, an image flashed across Kurry's vision. An image of a gold street with brilliant white buildings...Kurry shook her head to clear it. From the corner of his eye, Malik caught the movement and frowned in concern.
They had lunch next. Kurry was so involved with thinking about her dream that Seren had to poke her fifteen times before she responded.
'Huh?' Kurry looked up to see the entire table looking at her. 'Er...'
'Are you alright?' Ryou asked kindly. 'You've been spacing for the past 10 minutes.'
'Er...well, I'm alright. Really, I'm just tired, is all,' Kurry said, sending a quick but significant glance at Malik to say nothing about her dream. He was about to speak, but fell silent.
'I'm fine. Really.' She reassured them all and then changed the subject.
Last period they had gym. Malik and Kurry split to their respective change-rooms and Kurry shoved her way in the door. Because she was still deep in thought, the other girls were finished and gone before Kurry was even half-done. Kurry was also having trouble with this major itch on her back.
Just as Kurry was rounding the barricade that prevented anybody from seeing right in, she was hit with the greatest back pain that she had ever known. Gasping, she flexed her muscles, trying to ease it. That only made it worse. Trying not to scream, she sank to her knees. It felt like two lead weights were pushing out of her back. Tears leaked out as she squeezed her eyes shut, her muscles contracting against the pain. And as suddenly as it had come, the pain was gone.
Kurry panted slightly, taking deep breaths. She slowly attempted to move, and when she felt no pain, rose to her feet. Hearing a rustling noise behind her, she turned around to face the full-wall mirror.
She had to clap both hands over her mouth to keep from screaming.
Kurry's reflection was the same, but with an addition. Two white wings, soft and feathery, had sprouted from her back. (Through her clothes by the way.) Kurry's eyes went like this: O_____O?!?! as she turned slowly before the mirror to see. Gently running one hand along the edges, she suddenly grinned in absolute amazement. But her grin soon turned to a frown when she heard someone coming. How was she going to hide these? The wings seemed to hear her thoughts, for they vanished in a flash of light, just as a girl named Stephanie stuck her head in the door. Kurry felt quite foolish standing there in the middle of the room. Stephanie cocked an eyebrow and said, 'Oy, you comin'? The teacher was about to mark you late.' Kurry nodded and took one quick glance in the mirror before following Stephanie out.
Malik leaned over and whispered in Kurry's ear, 'What happened?'
'Nothing. I'm fine.' Kurry whispered back.
Malik looked like he was about to say something more, then deflated, said, 'Well, alright,' and leaned back nonchalantly. Kurry felt bad for not trusting him enough, but she didn't actually know anything about what just happened; she'd barely had enough time to wrap her own mind around the fact that she suddenly had wings...her back started to get itchy.
+OH NO!!!+ she thought desperately and focussed. The itching stopped and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Somehow, through that long class, Kurry managed to keep her excitement and fright under control. Malik often caught her beaming and then taking deep breaths all of a sudden. He just grinned and shook his head. Finally, finally, the bell rang. Kurry flew through changing, going to her locker and fighting her way through the crowds. She zoomed past her friends, who called to her to wait, but she turned and, running backwards, hollered, 'I'm sorry, but I must get home!' And with that she was gone.
'What the heck?' said Joey, scratching his head.
'She was sure in a hurry,' Yugi muttered as Malik ran up, panting.
'Where'd Kurry go?' he gasped out.
'She's long gone, mate. Why?' Ryou told him.
'Damn! I wanted to ask her something,' Malik groaned, trying to catch his breath. When he heard the others snicker, he blushed. 'Not anything like THAT! Man, you're all hentais, you know that, don't you?!' which set them all off even harder.
Kurry ran all the way home. She flew in the door, dumped her coat and shoes and bolted up to her room. Slamming the door, she chucked all of her stuff onto the bed and dashed to the full-length mirror on her closet. Calming her mind, she thought +Wings+ and in another flash of light, there they were. She grinned manically and posed, then retracted them and sat down on the floor to think.
Why did she have wings? They looked almost like the angel wings you saw in books, only much larger; almost the entire length of her body! Kurry remembered suddenly. Her dream! The vision she'd had in Religion class...something about the wings was connected to Kiramina...Kurry gasped aloud.
'Could I be a...an angel?' she whispered.
'YYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!'
Kurry leaped to her feet as something dark hurtled past her balcony window. She yanked open the twin doors and flung herself at the edge of the balcony. Looking down, she saw a dark-haired girl with what looked like dragon wings climbing gingerly out of the rosebushes.
'Oh my Ra! Are you alright? Hang on, I'll be right down!' Kurry called, and dashed through the house to the back door. She stopped short, however, when she got her first real glimpse of the girl. O___O!
The girl stood up and brushed herself off. Then she saw Kurry. 'Kurry?!?' she squealed. 'Is it really you?!?!' The girl ran over and hugged a startled Kurry, then dashed past her into the house. 'Oy!' cried Kurry, and ran after her.
Kurry found the strange girl in her room, bouncing around and saying 'FWEEEEEEE!! ^______^' Kurry looked something like this: O___o?? as she watched the girl trip and go flying to land on her bed.
'Oy!' shouted Kurry again. The girl froze.
'I'm sorry,' said Kurry calmly, 'but I'm afraid I don't even know who...or rather, what...you are.'
The girl giggled. 'Oops. Sorries. My name is...but hey, shouldn't you remember?'
Kurry cocked an eyebrow. 'Huh? Remember what?'
The girl suddenly looked crestfallen. 'I...was so sure you'd remember...' she said sadly, then perked up. 'Oh well, I guess with you only being a newborn when you disappeared, you wouldn't remember anything. I'm Kitty,' she explained, smiling.
A sudden image flashed across Kurry eyes. A face was looking down at her....a younger version of the face before her.
'Kitty?' Kurry gasped. 'Kitty!! I DO remember!'
Kitty squealed and the two girls embraced. Kurry was grinning from ear to ear.
'So...what are you?' Kurry asked carefully. 'I'm afraid I don't remember THAT much.' She gestured at Kitty's wings, noticing that she also had cat ears and a tail.
'Oh, I'm a cat demon. My sister Kat is an eagle demon...oh wait, I'm only going to confuse you.' Kitty went over to the bed, sat down and patted the space beside her. 'C'mere. We've got thirteen years of stuff to catch up on.' Kurry plopped down next to her.
'Okay, so what DO you remember?' asked Kitty.
Kurry frowned. 'All I remember is a blurry image of a younger you standing over me,' she said.
Kitty nodded. 'Yeah, you were always over at our house.'
'And where is your house?' Kurry asked.
'Why, Kiramina of course! Duh!' said Kitty, laughing. But when she saw the stunned look on Kurry's face, she sobered. 'Oh. So you really didn't know.'
Kurry suddenly leaped up and released her wings. 'Then you must be connected to these.'
Kitty nodded. 'Yep. That's how I was able to find you. When angels get their wings, they suddenly give off an energy that only other angels and demons can sense. And demons mature a bit faster than angels. I would've come earlier but we couldn't find you.'
Kurry smiled. 'It's alright. It's not like I've been bad off,' she giggled, gesturing around the room.
'Yeah. Well, I'm here now. We're gonna have a lot of fun.' Kitty was grinning, but Kurry suddenly looked horrified. 'Oh no! What am I going to tell my parents?! If they see you like that, they'll freak! Oh my Ra! They haven't even seen ME yet! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!'
'Calm down Kurry!' Kitty shouted. 'We'll figure something out okay?'
'Okay.'
*Click*
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! MY PARENTS ARE HOME!!!!!!'
There was a mad scramble to find Kitty a place to hide. They could hear the click of Kurry's mom's shoes on the hardwood as they came closer. Finally Kurry thrust Kitty out onto the balcony and slammed the doors. Inhaling her wings, Kurry turned just in time, as her mother opened the door.
'Why were you scrabbling around in here, dear?'
Kurry gulped. 'Uh...a bird flew in the window! It was wild! It flew all over the place and I was trying to shoo it back out,' she lied.
'Oh. Alright, but I'm sure no more birds will come in, so you can leave the doors open,' said her mother, coming over. Kurry couldn't do anything. She stepped away from the doors and sweated bullets as her mother swung them wide. She winced.
Nothing.
Mrs. Kurishi took a deep breath. 'Ahhh, now don't you just love fresh air?' she asked as she left the room.
'Er...yeah mum. Sure,' Kurry muttered, grinning waaayyyy too perkily for how she felt. As soon as the door shut, Kurry dashed out onto the balcony. 'Kitty!' she hissed quietly and jumped when Kitty dropped from the roof behind her.
'Whew! That was close!' Kitty gasped.
'No kidding. Now you know why you can't stay here. Hang on though. Maybe one of my friends can take you in.'
Kurry went over to the bedside table and picked up her phone. Plucking the piece of paper up off the desk, she dialled the first number on it. It rang, and then a guy's voice said, 'Hello?'
'Hi, Malik? It's Kurry.'
'Hi! I mean, hey, what's up?'
Kurry tried not to giggle at his enthusiasm. 'Um, I've got...something to talk to all of you guys about. Do we have a place big enough that we can all meet in?'
Malik thought for a sec, then said, 'I'll call Seto. We've got a huge lounge at his place that we party in. Why? What's wrong?' There was concern in his voice.
'Well, nothing's...wrong, exactly. I just have something to talk about. 'Kay?'
'Kay. When do ya want to meet?'
'In half an hour.'
Malik coughed suddenly. 'Er...I'll see what I can do,' he said and they hung up.
Fifteen minutes later he called back. 'Done. Be at Seto's in fifteen minutes.'
'Kay. Where's Seto's?'
Malik sweatdropped. 'Er...right.' He gave her directions and they hung up.
'Okay, let's go,' said Kurry, but Kitty was looking at her funny.
'What?'
'Are you sure you can trust these guys?' Kitty asked, unsure.
That stopped Kurry in her tracks. Could she? Really? She was hesitant for a sec, but then she remembered the concern in Malik's voice and grinned. 'Yep, I can.' Kitty grinned too, reassured and they sped out of the room.
