Silver Angel: Hello to everyone out there reading this fic! Before starting Chapter 6 of The Angel of Light, I would like to take special time to thank some of my kind reviewers. ^_^

To BlueFrost: You were one of my first reviewers, thank you for the positive comments, and for the idea which I think I may use later in my fic!

To Lilaclight: You are one of the people who have reviewed the most! Thank you so much!

To Kage-shadow-of-darkness: Thanks for the prompting on the pairings, the info on Millenium items, and all the reviews!

To starfury3000: Thanks for the wonderful review early on, and the idea to have Sere help Pegasus!

To Ladylight: Thanks for all the reviews you've given me!

To everyone else: I love the reviews! Please continue!

One last note: I don't mind anonymous reviews or voting, but someone has been voting anonymously for the same person each time. I have decided to disregard all but one of those, as I don't think it is fair for one person to cast the same vote six times.

Okay here are the results for the voting:

Yami/Serena: 19

Yugi/Serena: 7

Bakura/Serena: 5

Yami Bakura/Serena: 1

Kaiba/Serena: 3

Malik/Serena: 21

Pegasus/Serena: 3



Next up: If anyone thinks that a specific Sailor Senshi should be brought in for the purpose of this fic, you can e-mail and tell me, and I will see if I can bring them in. Other wise, they'll probably stay dead.

On with Chapter 6!

Yugi: Finally! Talk about a long intro.



Chapter 6: Loss and Gain

Pain: an endless soul-numbing sort of pain. It was as if his mind had been shattered, and his body broken. The last he remembered was - what was the last thing he remembered? So hard to think. A nagging ache from deep within his mind seemed to get in the way; as if he had lost something.But what?

The darkness was comforting in its way. While within it, he didn't have to worry about facing the terrifying reality he knew was facing him. Golden light! That was it! That was what had happened to him.but before that.darkness, and panic. A mocking laughter echoing grossly in his ears.

'Do not try to fight me!' it had said. Yes, but fight what? His memories began to filter past the muzzy state he was in, becoming sharper, more recognizable.

The Ring! He had it now! It was the Millennium ring, which was somehow connected to the state he was in. (A.N. can you guess who this is now?) He had put on the ring, tugging it past his long white hair, and then came the first pain. The first in a long series of pain, which he had believed would destroy him.

When Bakura had out on the ring, it had taken over his body; told him not to fight it; that it was useless. After screaming and battering silently at the walls of his mind for what seemed like ages, finally came release.

A golden light, which had filtered through the blocks in his mind that whatever had taken his body for its own, had placed there. It had hurt.yes, the pain he still felt was a testament to that, yet it had freed him as well.

Now - A sound broke the stillness of his mind. 'Am I waking up?' Bakura was nervous. What would he find when he woke up? What had his body done while he was not in control?



The white haired boy groaned, sitting up from his position on a rich couch. 'Where am I?' he thought, gazing around the rich office. No one he knew had their own office, except maybe Kaiba, but it was doubtful that that was where he was.

'Of course I'm not in Kaiba's office' he berated himself mentally. 'Why would he let me in there, let alone lay on his couch?' The door to the office cracked open, and Bakura looked up quickly, and found himself gazing into the face of Maximillion Pegasus.

"So you're awake then boy?" The millionaire walked into the room, sitting down at one of the chairs nearby. "I was wondering how long you'd be out. Two of your friends already woke up."

"What- what happened" he asked, trying to fight back his anxiousness as ideas of what he may have done flowed through his head. "Did I - did I hurt anyone? Please say that I didn't!"

Pegasus gave a small smile at that. "Well boy, I'm not sure if you could really call it hurting." he trailed off. "It depends on what their reactions to the new developments are. I haven't exactly gotten a chance to talk to either of them yet."

"By either of them you mean.?"

"I mean Yugi boy and his other half of course." He steepled his hands in front of him, resting his chin on them. "I'm guessing from all these questions that you don't remember what happened then?"

Bakura looked down, staring at is lap. "I remember putting on the Millennium Ring my father gave me, and then.well it was as if my mind was trapped or something. I had no control over my body. I don't even know what I did!"

"I suppose you want answers as to what happened then?" Bakura nodded his head, desperate to find out what he had done. "Well come along then. I'll take you to Serena. She's the one who will be able to answer your questions, not I"



There was another him lying on a couch in the room adjoining to the office. "Is that me?" He asked, unsure what to make of this new development. It looked like him, but even in his sleep, this person had slight dissimilarities.

His face had a harsher, crueler look to it. As if he had been through much pain, and had come out with the intent to return it all tenfold. His white hair was the same shade as Bakura's, but seemed slightly longer, and made him seem older than Bakura was.

"Not exactly," Serena told him. "That is your darker half - your Yami, if you want to call it that. From what I gather, some of the Millennium items contain souls in them. Those who were destined to wield the items, are the other half of the soul imprisoned within. Thus, you would be the Hikari - the light half, and he is the Yami."

Bakura nodded, feeling slightly overwhelmed with this new information. Another soul. "Is he the one who took over my body then? If he is my darker half." He trailed off, not wanting to believe that part of his soul, even the dark part, would want to cause so much pain.

"In a manner of speaking, your dark half is the one who took over your body." She tossed her long blond hair over her shoulder.

"His soul was sealed in the Millennium Ring thousands of years ago, when the items were created. A few hundred years ago, fragments of Chaos, an enemy I had fought and defeated, came to this world, and entered the Millennium items; probably drawn to them because of the magic already instilled within them." She paused a moment, allowing the facts to sink in.

"Normally, a soul within the item would have helped protect it from the invasion of the Chaos. With your Millennium Ring however, possibly because of the fact that its magic dealt with removing souls from their bodies, which is Chaos' purpose, or possibly because of a stronger piece of it, the immunity did not work.

She looked down sadly at the body of his Yami. "His soul, being a Yami was not innocent, but it was by no means totally evil. When the Chaos entered the Ring however, it corrupted the soul within - the other half of your soul. When you put the ring on, you allowed him to take control of your body. Before Yugi's Yami threw the blast that separated your bodies, he put up a shield that flung part of the attack back at him, causing Yugi and Yami to be separated as well."

Bakura looked up from the body of his other half. "Can you help him? Pegasus told me that you removed the Chaos from him, and healed him. Is there any way you can help my Yami?" It upset him that the other half of his soul had been corrupted like this. 'What would he have been like if this had never happened? Would he have attacked Yugi and caused him and Yami to be separated?'

Serena gazed into his eyes, judging his intent. "I believe that I can help him, but it will take a lot of power. The Chaos has been a part of his soul for so long, that the two are nearly completely meshed. Separating them will take a lot of work. He has done so much evil already." She trailed off, letting him decide.

She was right; Bakura knew. It would take a lot. Still. "Please, will you heal him? It wasn't his fault, and he didn't ask for any of this."

Serena smiled at him, looking satisfied at his decision. "Though it will not be easy, I am glad you have made this decision. You have compassion Bakura, and it shows that you have not been corrupted by your encounter.

Bakura blushed, and shifted uncomfortably under her wise ageless gaze.



With Yugi sleeping inside on Pegasus' couch, Yami was left alone on the balcony outside. He gazed up at the stars. 'They look so close from here, but in reality they are so far apart.'

It was just like Yugi and him. They could be standing right next to each other, but they could never be as close as they once had. Not unless he could find a way to reverse what had been done. They still had a bit of a telepathic bond, being two halves of the same soul, but much of what they had shared would be diminished.

He sighed, still looking up into the night sky; wondering what would happen now. Footsteps behind him caused him to look up. Behind him was Serena, now in her Cosmos form. She looked as close to exhausted as he had ever seen her.

"Are you okay?" He asked, ready to stand up and help her if need be.

"I'll be fine," she told him, sitting down and giving a weary sigh. "It just took a lot out of me, trying to untangle the original spirit of the Ring from the Chaos wrapped around it." Yami nodded, and returned to looking up at the sky.

"They're very beautiful tonight," she said, following his gaze toward the stars. He nodded absently, still thinking about his hikari, and how things would be different now that they were two separate people.

"He's still there, you know." She remarked, as if reading his thoughts. "You may be separate beings, but you are still two halves of the same soul. Different bodies will not change that."

Yami tuned towards her. Ancient spirit that he was, he couldn't help but feeling a little lost. He was on his own at least marginally, for the first time in Millennia. He gave her a sad smile. "He is still there, but it is different now. I myself, and only half a person. Just the Yami. I am not complete on my own. Even in the past, when I was a single person - the Pharaoh - I was complete."

She looked at him, understanding how he felt. "I felt the same way when I lost my friends." She told him. "It had been 'us' for so long, that I felt like a broken soul when I lost them. I still feel that way really." Without moving her gaze from space, she reached out and took his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze of reassurance.



Somewhere Else:

A figure with Platinum hair waited in the darkness, using the cover of night to keep himself hidden. His lilac eyes almost seemed to glow in the darkness. The fact that they had no pupils, only lended to their supernatural appearance. When he spoke, his voice seemed to cause the entire night to fall silent for a moment. "I am coming Pharaoh." He whispered.



Silver Angel: Hey minna, well there was chapter six. I hope you enjoyed it.

Yugi: ::pouts:: How come I wasn't in this chapter?

Silver: Sorry about that Yugi, but I couldn't really find a spot to fit you in without throwing off the flow of the chapter. You'll should be in the next one though, so don't worry.

Um guys. I'm really asking you to review my story this time. I'm feeling kinda worthless right now in regards to fanfiction, and I need some encouragement. Please review!
