~Disclaimer...(sniffle) I don't own Yugioh...but I did kill Ryou...and you hate me for that, right? (lip wiggle) Right? (begins crying)
Seto: (sigh) We don't hate you.
Nika: (looks hopeful) Really?
Bakura: WELL I SURE DO!!! YOU KILLED MY HIKARI!!!!
Pegasus: YEAH!!! I don't hate you because you're one of...alright my only...fangirl. But...YOU KILLED MY SON!!!!!
All: O_O NANI!?
Pegasus: (calms down and looks innocent) What? You hadn't figured that out yet? Come on! We look a whole lot alike y'know? Check the gorgeous silver hair. (does a hair flip)
Bakura: ......wait....if Ryou was your son...and I'm his yami....does that make me your son too?
Pegasus: Yep! ^^ Now come here and sit on your father's lap!
Bakura: (begins backing away) Uhhh...no thanks. I gotta go look for a way to revive my hikari....(quietly) or join him in death...
Seto: Man, and I though I had a weird family. You just got sexually harrassed by your long lost gay father...who is Pegasus. (gags)

Angel Eyes
Chapter Nineteen:
Hope of Aset
The sun broke through the clouds as Angel stepped outside, it's rays warming her face. But it couldn't warm her soul. Malik had helped her immensely last night and if not for him she didn't think she could face another day. He had brought her out of her grief and made her accept their love. But it didn't change the fact that she had killed a dear friend and an innocent soul. No matter how happy she may be with Malik, she had to find Bakura and not only apologize but try to bring him whatever comfort she could. So much pain she had caused in both lives. It tore at her heart to think of the family and friends of those she had killed.
*And there it is.* she thought as she raised her right hand and upon at the shining gold on her wrist. *The Sennen Band. I wish I could blame my darkness on my Item like Bakura. It gave me the power, but the darkness is mine alone. And I have to deal with it.*
She felt a pair of warm arms slip around her waist and Malik rested his head on her shoulder.
"Are you going now?" he asked softly. When she nodded he continued, "I'm going to the museum to look for Isis. There's no way she could not have known what was going to happen. Which means she's up to something. Not only...Ryou's death...but also, she's always come home when we were about to...uh..."
Angel chuckled at Malik's nervousness at saying out loud what had happened. "Make love?" she laughed. "Yes. She always stopped us before, but this time she didn't. She's most definitely up to something. She's always saying things about what's meant to happen being unstoppable, so maybe she thought all of this was meant to happen?"
"Perhaps." he whispered back.
Turning her head slightly she quickly caught his lips in a brief kiss before slipping out of his embrace and starting on her way down the sidewalk. "I'll be back in a few hours." she called back to him. "I just want to make sure he's alright."
Malik watched his lover's back disappear around the corner before turning to lock the door. *She seems better.* he thought to himself. *I'm glad. Now, to find my sister.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as she arrived at Bakura and Ryou's house, Angel knew he was home. The front door was standing wide open and music was blaring from the upstairs. Pausing in the doorway she peeked in and called out.
"Bakura?" she called unsurely. When she received no answer she cautiously took a step inside. Finding no one at first she began to wonder if she had been wrong and he really hadn't returned home. But then she came upon the darkened living room. Sitting in the middle of the floor Bakura cradled Ryou's lifeless body, his head bowed in sorrow. It seemed that he had yet to let him go.
As she started to approach him she heard him growl, "Stay away."
"I just want to help." she replied gently.
"You've done enough. Just leave us alone." Then he looked up at her. His eyes held a feral gleam and they shone with angry satisfaction as he spoke his next words. "I guarantee you'll pay for what you've done. In one life I took your innocence when you took my love. And now, in this life, you've taken my light...so I've taken your love."
"What?" she gasp in shock. "What do you mean?"
"I mean," he growled, "I've...taken...your...love. You do love him, don't you?" Gently placing Ryou's body on the soft carpet, Bakura stood and glared at her, his eyes reflecting the sadistic pleasure he was getting from this. "You should never have left him alone." he said finally. "Now we're even."
*No! It can't be!* Angel cried inside her head. *There's no way!* And then she disappeared, racing as fast as she could through the shadows towards her home and her love. *Malik!*
Bakura watched her go and scoffed. "Hmph. Even? We could never be even. Malik was a lover. One of millions of males in this world. What you've taken from me can never be replaced. He was my hikari. Only a yami could understand what he means to me. Our souls were bound together, and he can never be replaced."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Please be alright!* Angel pleaded inside her head as she entered the front door of the house.
"Malik!" she cried out, emerging from the shadows and racing through the house. But as she searched every room she could find nothing. He wasn't there. *That's good.* she thought. *He said he was going to the museum. I'll just call there and ask to talk to Isis. Surely he's arrived by now.*
However as she reached for the phone it rang. After she had finished jumping out of her skin and stopped her racing heart, she picked it up.
"Moshi moshi."
"Angel." Isis voice drifted out.
"Isis!" Angel said relieved. "I was just going to call you! Did Malik tell you what happened?"
Her only response was silence from the other end.
"Isis?" she asked, growing concerned.
"Angel." Isis said quietly. "Please sit down.
"I am sitting." she lied. "Tell me."
"No, you're not." Isis responded. "But I'll tell you anyway." More silence, then, "Malik's dead. He was hit by a car on his way to see me. He was killed instantly."
All she managed to get out was "No." before her world went dark and she fell unconscious to the floor, the phone dropping by her side.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When she next awoke she felt soft blankets covering her body. Opening her eyes she made out three blurry figures above her.
"Hey!" a familiar male voice called out. "She's commin' around!"
"Shh!" another familiar voice shushed him. "Quite, puppy. Don't excite her."
"Angel?" a woman's voice asked gently. "Can you hear me?"
"Ungh." she managed to groan out. As her eyes cleared she saw Isis, Seto and Jou standing over her. She was in her bed. The bed she and Malik had shared just last night. "What happened?" she asked.
They were all silent for a moment before Isis said, "You fainted...when I told you...what happened."
That's when she felt the tears well up in her eyes. "Malik." she whispered. "Malik, no!" Then the tears spilled over and she threw herself onto her stomach to cry into her pillow. She felt a warm hand touch her shoulder and Seto say her name, but it didn't matter. Her world was over. She had lost the only thing that made her life worth living. Now she could never have the happy life they had talked about last night. He had promised her they would always be together. He had promised that once they finished school they would marry. He had promised to take her back to Egypt where they would make a life together. But now none of that could be...and there was no reason left for her to go on.
"How?" she managed to croak out, the tears affecting her ability to speak. "How did it happen?"
"We don't know the details." Isis explained. "The driver said something strange looking suddenly appeared in front of his car and he swerved to avoid it. Several witnesses saw it too. They said it looked like a monster. Angel...Bakura brought a monster to life and caused the accident. When I saw this in a vision it was already too late. After I talked to you I called Kaiba-san and told him everything. About Ryou, about you and about Malik. I thought you would need your brother by your side for this."
Suddenly Angel stopped crying and raised her head off the pillow. "You said...Bakura brought a monster to life?" she asked uncertainly and looked back at Isis. When the older woman nodded Angel suddenly leaped up off the bed and rushed over to her dresser.
"What are you doing?" Seto asked as she rooted around through her clothes.
"I know I put it in here." she muttered distractedly before crying out in triumph. She pulled her hand out and displayed the card she had hidden before. It was a picture of the Goddess Isis. In her right hand she held a glowing sphere of pink energy.
"What's that?" Jounouchi asked curiously as he looked over her shoulder at it.
"This is Aset the Fearless Queen of Heaven." she replied.
"Aset?" Seto questioned. "I've never heard of that card before."
"That's because they were never mass produced." she explained. "I received this card in the mail from Pegasus. He said he felt it belonged to me and that I should take care of it because it was one of a kind. Now I understand what he meant."
"Can I see it?" Seto asked and she handed it to him. He studied it for a minute before remarking, "It has zero attack and zero defense. I'm assuming it's power is in it's special effect. What does it do?"
She took the card back and said, "You're right. Aset has a special power. In a regular duel she's not really a powerful card. But if she's used by someone summoning her with Shadow Magic she becomes quite formidable. Her ability is to control the souls of men. As the Queen of Heaven she can either instantly kill her opponent by taking away their soul...or...she can return a soul."
All were silent as that new sunk in.
"You mean," Jou began, "That card can bring someone back to life...if Bakura uses it?"
She nodded but bowed her head, continuing to study the card. "Yes." she said, "But it will only work once. And I doubt Bakura will agree to bring back Malik, when he can just as easily use it to bring back his lover. And...I don't know if I could live with myself if I withheld this from him. I was the one who killed Ryou, and while I have the card he has the power needed to bring him back. There's no choice. I'm going to give him the card and let him bring Ryou back. As much as I miss Malik...there's no way..."
"Wait." Isis suddenly spoke up. "There is a way to have Bakura bring my brother back." They all looked at her and from under Angel's bed she withdrew the Sennen Rod. "The Rod won't work for just anyone. It chooses it's own master. But now that my brother is dead, it belongs to you." Then she held the Rod out to Seto.
He took it hesitantly. In his dreams he had seen the duels five thousand years ago to claim the eight Sennen Items. He had to admit, he could feel it calling to him. It felt good in his hands. It felt right. Once he was it's master. It had chosen him to wield the power. Perhaps, he could again. Perhaps he could use it to bring his sister joy.
"But," Angel started, "what about the Ring? Won't it stop the Rod from controlling him?"
Isis shook her head. "Not in the hands of it's true master. If Kaiba uses the Rod on Bakura it will work. He will fall under it's spell."
The look in Isis' eyes was beginning to worry Angel. Normally the woman always seemed so calm and in control. As if she knew everything that was going to happen and was fine with it. And, she assumed, she in fact did. But now...she seemed to be desperately trying to hold on to her calm facade. *She's lost someone very dear to her.* Angel realized. *It was something she couldn't see, until it was too late. And now, even though she's trying not to show it, she's in deep mourning. Like me.*
"Isis?" Angel asked cautiously. "Are you alright? This doesn't seem like you. To force someone to do something against their will, knowing it will hurt them."
"He was my brother!" Isis suddenly cried out, tears welling up in her eyes. "We may not have gotten along like normal siblings, but we didn't exactly have a normal childhood! I loved my brother and I would do anything...ANYTHING to bring him back!" she declared loudly.
"So?" Seto said calmly. "Which one is it to be? Malik...or Ryou? It's up to you, Pierce."

(A/N) With the power to bring back one person, who will she choose. Malik? Or Ryou? The one she loved. Or the one she killed. Will she bring back Ryou to repay her sin against darkness?

Find out next time on..."Angel Eyes"! *dum-dum-dum!* "Maybe The Final Chapter"! ^^ R&R
So, how was my announcer bit? Hey, don't look at me like that! I didn't hog-tie the mysterious announcer man, lock him in a closet and take over his job. ^_^ Um...please don't kill me for killing Ryou....and Malik...and giving you the fragile hope that I might bring one of them back. Which do you want, ne? You gotta pic one! ^^ And if you try to hurt me I'll send Pegasus over to your house with the gay mafia! . Don't laugh at the gay mafia. They'll break the legs on your coffee table. o.o
Mysterious Announcer Man: (hog-tied in a closet) Oh God help me! I'm claustrophobic!! O_O (hypervenilates)
_______________________________________________________________________________________

LoveLiesBleeding2: Yeah! RYOU!!! (sobs with her) Nope...not the end! There may or may not be anymore fluff...depending on who I bring back. But that wasn't the end. But I guarentee...there will be angst. ^^ I like angst!
Maylia Intusha: Lol I like both your pennames! But this one is good! Look, basically if any of my reviewers ask me to check out a fic...consider it done. (mutters) I'm way too nice. Maybe I should let my yami, who's been strangely absent this chapter...right when I needed her, take over. I'd say you're gonna get about two more chapters...maybe one...maybe three...but an average of two. @_@ Here, Maytala! This is something my yami has laying around the house. It's called Tomb Robber Raid! (reads the label) It says it's guarenteed to work or you get your money back and the rabid badgers will come and kill whatever it didn't work on. O.o I gotta watch what Alice buys...
PsychoSisters: ^__^ You can't bribe me with plushies anymore! I've got the real thing! (huggles Ryou then pushes him into the Plushie Machine...and he comes out a plushie; huggles the plushie) See? ^^ And I've got a pic of Ryou as a baby playing with the Sennen Ring and it's as big as him! So kawaii!! (sticks her tongue out) So there! ..... o.o ...... car ........@.@ ........ (seriously thinks about bringing Ryou back)
Haru-chan: (glomps Ryou and starts sobbing again) I know! I'm such a horrible person!! I can't believe I killed Ryou!!! [Ryou: O.o I'm right here... (looks really confused) [Nika: (continues sobing loudly) NO YOU'RE NOT!!!! YOU'RE DEAD!!!!! [Ryou: uh-huh...-_-
A Lonely Heart Breaker: Wow. O_O I don't know what to say but...wow. I'm surprised you were so sad over it...it doesn't have enough description to make me happy...or sad...whatever. I'm very flattered. Seriously! I considered changing my plot just for you. But...to say anymore would be giving it away. So I'll just have to email you instead! ^^ That was a very good idea btw. Do you write? Because with ideas like that I definitely wanna read your work! Thank you for your compliments. This story is not up to par in my mind, but people seem to like it. And that makes me happy. Maybe I'm just too critical of my work..?
Liviania: (sobs with her...sobbing too loud for the words to be heard...continues sobbing) [Pegasus: This may take a while. Why don't you grab a seat and she'll be through in a few days.
Rei Akita: O__O OMG!!! Someone's scary when she's angry!! (starts shaking in fear...then turns into Alice) . YOU SCARED MY HIKARI!!! (begins chasing Rei Akita with a long bladed butcher knife) o.o (suddenly changes back and drops the knife; gasps) I'm sorry! (begins sobbing) I'm such a horrible person!!!! (switches back to Alice; stops sobbing) . And damn proud of it too!! (picks up the knife and goes off to torture some random human) [Bakura: O_O That...was scary. It's like watching Marik and Malik fight...only more demented... O_O
Seto: (sigh) We don't hate you.
Nika: (looks hopeful) Really?
Bakura: WELL I SURE DO!!! YOU KILLED MY HIKARI!!!!
Pegasus: YEAH!!! I don't hate you because you're one of...alright my only...fangirl. But...YOU KILLED MY SON!!!!!
All: O_O NANI!?
Pegasus: (calms down and looks innocent) What? You hadn't figured that out yet? Come on! We look a whole lot alike y'know? Check the gorgeous silver hair. (does a hair flip)
Bakura: ......wait....if Ryou was your son...and I'm his yami....does that make me your son too?
Pegasus: Yep! ^^ Now come here and sit on your father's lap!
Bakura: (begins backing away) Uhhh...no thanks. I gotta go look for a way to revive my hikari....(quietly) or join him in death...
Seto: Man, and I though I had a weird family. You just got sexually harrassed by your long lost gay father...who is Pegasus. (gags)

Maylia Intusha: Lol I like both your pennames! But this one is good! Look, basically if any of my reviewers ask me to check out a fic...consider it done. (mutters) I'm way too nice. Maybe I should let my yami, who's been strangely absent this chapter...right when I needed her, take over. I'd say you're gonna get about two more chapters...maybe one...maybe three...but an average of two. @_@ Here, Maytala! This is something my yami has laying around the house. It's called Tomb Robber Raid! (reads the label) It says it's guarenteed to work or you get your money back and the rabid badgers will come and kill whatever it didn't work on. O.o I gotta watch what Alice buys...
PsychoSisters: ^__^ You can't bribe me with plushies anymore! I've got the real thing! (huggles Ryou then pushes him into the Plushie Machine...and he comes out a plushie; huggles the plushie) See? ^^ And I've got a pic of Ryou as a baby playing with the Sennen Ring and it's as big as him! So kawaii!! (sticks her tongue out) So there! ..... o.o ...... car ........@.@ ........ (seriously thinks about bringing Ryou back)
Haru-chan: (glomps Ryou and starts sobbing again) I know! I'm such a horrible person!! I can't believe I killed Ryou!!! [Ryou: O.o I'm right here... (looks really confused) [Nika: (continues sobing loudly) NO YOU'RE NOT!!!! YOU'RE DEAD!!!!! [Ryou: uh-huh...-_-
A Lonely Heart Breaker: Wow. O_O I don't know what to say but...wow. I'm surprised you were so sad over it...it doesn't have enough description to make me happy...or sad...whatever. I'm very flattered. Seriously! I considered changing my plot just for you. But...to say anymore would be giving it away. So I'll just have to email you instead! ^^ That was a very good idea btw. Do you write? Because with ideas like that I definitely wanna read your work! Thank you for your compliments. This story is not up to par in my mind, but people seem to like it. And that makes me happy. Maybe I'm just too critical of my work..?
Liviania: (sobs with her...sobbing too loud for the words to be heard...continues sobbing) [Pegasus: This may take a while. Why don't you grab a seat and she'll be through in a few days.
Rei Akita: O__O OMG!!! Someone's scary when she's angry!! (starts shaking in fear...then turns into Alice) . YOU SCARED MY HIKARI!!! (begins chasing Rei Akita with a long bladed butcher knife) o.o (suddenly changes back and drops the knife; gasps) I'm sorry! (begins sobbing) I'm such a horrible person!!!! (switches back to Alice; stops sobbing) . And damn proud of it too!! (picks up the knife and goes off to torture some random human) [Bakura: O_O That...was scary. It's like watching Marik and Malik fight...only more demented... O_O
