Bakura Knows

            "So now that we know, does Ryou know?" Anzu had never ever thought about that. Their British friend had never been very talkative. He held many mysterious secrets he never bothered telling anyone. Now that Jou had brought it up, she id wonder. His spirit of the ring…he would probably know. Anzu sat upright from her former slacking position.

            "Thank you Jou!" She finished her sentence and jogged off.

            "Did she just thank me?" Honda sweatdropped and nodded. Things kept getting weirder and weirder. Jou was really confused. Since when would Anzu thank either of them? Anzu sprinted from the park. Bakura had to know! He just had to!

            She suddenly stopped. Now where did Ryou say he lived? That was a problem, she didn't even remember where he lived. Before Duelist kingdom, they had never known him so well until halfway during the event. Ryou had told her before where he lived. But right now, she couldn't remember at all. Pulling out her cellphone, she quickly flipped through the phonebook and found her friend's number. She smiled and called.

            At the Ryou residence, all jumped when the phone rang. People rarely called. Ryou and Bakura looked at each other.

            "Who would call at a time like this?" Bakura pointed at Ryou. "You get it." Ryou answered the phone and asked who it was. He told her to hang on.

/It's…Anzu./

//What does she want?//

/I dunno….let's find out?/

            "Hey Anzu! What's up?"

            "Ryou! Where's do you live?"

            "Er…"

            "Sorry, I meant to say that, we need to talk and can I come over?"

            "Sure…" Ryou told her the address and she said she would be right over. She ran towards his house, hoping that Jounouchi and Honda would not follow her. Getting her answers would be hard with them around. Seeing that no one was following her, she slowed down and walked the remainder. When she came to Ryou's house, she knocked quietly on the door and waited.

//Hikari, what do you think you're doing???//

/She wants to talk so just let her!/

Ryou didn't let his dark half respond. He walked over and opened the door and politely let her in. His yami wasn't very happy about that. Bakura huffed and put on a welcoming face. He really didn't want to get on Ryou's bad side. Yuugi floated into the room and was taken aback as he saw Anzu standing there.

            "Anzu??"

            "Er hi, Yuugi."

            "What are you doing all the way over here?"

            "I'm looking…for answers…" Yuugi didn't bother asking anymore. He was already more than confused.

            "Bakura…"

            "…what?"

/Don't snap at the poor girl!/

//Bullshit. She's not poor and you could hardly call her a girl.//

/…Bakura…/ That was all Bakura needed as a warning. Ryou was rarely mad but when he was, it was very scary.

Anzu didn't even flinch. She knew well enough that the spirit of the ring did not talk a lot. Especially since he did have a grudge against the pharaoh. And Yuugi was staying at their place??? She shrugged it off. It was better to leave it alone than appear nosy. All she wanted to know was a way for Yuugi to come back. 

            "Bakura, what exactly is Yuugi now? An angel?"

            "Well, let's see…yes that's what you mortals call these creatures right? Oh yes. He is an angel. Not a regular one mind you."

            "There's different types of angels? Which one of them is Yuugi then?"

            "First, care to tell why you're wondering this? No one has asked me since his death."

            "Kinda curious when he visited Yami and me…"

            "Well, if you MUST know." Bakura emphasized each word. From that alone, one could tell that he did not like answering questions. "He is a fallen seraph."

            The brunette blushed. She didn't want to sound like a some clueless nitwit who asked way too many questions for her own good.

            "Um, if it's not a problem, could I possibly ask what that is?" Wanting to get rid of her quicker, Bakura half nodded, half shrugged. He didn't want to spend the whole day waiting for her to guess either. She never would've got it.

            "Do you have a lot of time?"

            "Yes."

            "Well it starts like this. When someone loves a person to death, they can try to die but the tie to the other person cannot be severed by just death. Yuugi has become that. Normally, he wouldn't be able to feel many complex emotions. The person would only know, love and hatred of some sort. In some cases, regret can also be felt. There is one way –"

            "For him to come back?" Bakura was annoyed. He shot Anzu an exasperated glance. "Hey, are you going to interrupt me all day? If so, I can just sit here and listen to you guessing what I'm going to say." Anzu looked down, embarrassed. She was so eager to find out, she had forgotten her manners.

            "Where was I, oh yes. There is one way for these trapped souls to be delivered… The one they love can choose to love another. That will break the heart of the angel. That's what Yuugi is. But…he is not a typical fallen seraph."

            "How so?"

            "Well, Yuugi doesn't feel pain when he's near Yami…that's only one thing. Second, the mind link lives. How can that be possible? I'm not even sure myself. One more, he may seem like just a spirit, but he's solid sometimes."

            "So, I've been wondering after your explanations…Is there a way to undo this all?"

            "Don't ask me." Ryou was tired of just listening to them talk. It was more like two people on the brink of arguing.

            "There could be a way. But." Ryou lowered his head in dismay. "We haven't found that road yet…"

            "Oh….well..I am very glad that I found you. It's time Yami knows."

            "Anzu, do you really want to figure this out for them?"

            "Wha?"

            "What I mean is, don't you think that they should figure it out themselves?"

            "Well..yea "

            "Then leave it to them?"           

            "But Yami…he is stubborn most of the time. We need to talk to him."

            "But you can't!"

Bakura stepped into the conversation. He was getting angered that Ryou was saying the same thing to his friend as well.

            "Ryou-chan…it is about time that we talk to baka no pharaoh. He's clueless. Forget reuniting them if we don't talk to him."

            "Kura…"

            "Ryou, I mean it. We need to talk some sense into Yami. There is no way he'll figure it out on his own." Bakura turned away. There was no way Ryou would approve of this. He had probably angered his lover. Was it worth it? Very out of character of Bakura, he cared. The tomb robber was curious as to what would happen. Usually, he couldn't give a damn. But this was Yugi…something about this boy was different. He even made Bakura feel emotions.

            "Bakura…" The yami didn't answer. He was somewhat ashamed for opposing his hikari.

            "Koi…I guess I do understand….perhaps you should talk to him."

            "Ryou…are you sure about this?"

            "Yes…seeing those two together is what I want."

            Anzu was getting uncomfortable around the mushiness of the situation. She cleared her throat.

            "Well..that's that then. But it's getting late. Bakura, do you want to meet me at Yami's house tomorrow?"

            "Sure…what time?"

            "Let's say…noon. Yea. That's good."

            "I have nothing else to do."
