K: Well, like I promised, here's chapter 5. I actually got the inspiration to write this from a scene coming up, since I felt like trying a somewhat deeper style of monologue, and besides, I wanted to include the wings. After reading 'Veela Sin' yesterday, I've been itching to do something with wings, cuz' I have this weird feeling my back is weighted down by some myself. Yes, I know that probably makes me seem psycho, but that's just the way I am. If I read about wings for an extended amount of time, I start to feel like I have wings behind me… ; Must be a side-effect from having an overactive imagination… ^^;
Anyway, I should probably just shut up and start the fic, cuz' you're most likely thinking I'm some insane weirdo now that I told you that… --; *sighs* Like any of us were ever sane to begin with…

[Dream Sequence]
Where am I? Why is it so dark? Am I dreaming? I look down at my clothes, finding them to be nothing like my pajamas.
I was wearing dark, midnight black pants that melted into the shadows, and if I didn't know my bottom half was there, I wouldn't have seen them at all. They felt like they were leather, and as I ran a hand over the side stitching, noticed it was tied up with a ribbon like a shoelace. Staring at my hand made me realize my shirt had changed too- it was now a white, long-sleeved dress shirt; the cuffs wide and bell-shaped. Upon closer inspection, I found there was a pattern cut out of the cuffs- a bunch of silver vines and leaves winding their way up my arm.
I blinked, wondering the significance of the change, but shrugged it off- dismissing it as an aftereffect of having read all those medieval stories for English class lately. Looking back up, I find myself faced with the same abyss as before. I search back and forth across the endless expanse, hoping to find something, anything….
All of a sudden, a chill goes down my spine- something's here. I hold my breath, trying to listen for footfalls or noise of any kind. There- behind me!
I whip around, but nothing's there. The noise comes again, and this time, I concentrate harder, closing my eyes. What was that? It was a rhythmic beating…. Wings?
The noise gets louder, and my fear returns. Whatever it is, it's coming toward me… Thump. Thump. Thump………..
My eyes snap open- it stopped! Where did it go?! Another cold wave passes over me, and I realize what it's trying to tell me… Gulping, I gather my courage and slowly turn around, preparing for the worst…
…Only to stop and breathe a sigh of relief. It was only Yami who stood there, enveloped in the shadows. He was dressed like me, from what I can tell, only his shirt was black, making the silver thread glitter in the strange light that seemed to come from me. His eyes were sad, as if something horrible plagued his thoughts.
He took a step closer, coming into the light, and my breath caught. As I stared at him, wide-eyed, he moved toward me until we were face-to-face. His hand cupped my cheek, and he gave an apologetic smile, eyes still shining with an untold sorrow. He kissed me, slow and sweet, and as we parted, he whispered, "Gomen yo…" against my lips. (sorry)
I gazed at him in confusion, but he only smiled sadly and pulled away, stepping back until we were about a meter apart. What's going on? Suddenly, my body felt like it was on fire. It started at my lips, then spread rapidly throughout until every inch of me was searing in pain.
I cried out, tears streaming down my face, and the pain intensified, focusing itself into a burning sphere deep within my chest. It felt like acid eating straight through me, and as the burning sensation reached its climax, it rushed out through my back, and I could hear the cloth being ripped to shreds. I collapsed, exhausted, and noted the strange weight that pressed upon me as I lie on my stomach. Too tired to turn my head and see what it was, I opted to lie there as Yami walked over and knelt, embracing me.
"I know it hurts…. Demo, it's alright now… Everything's going to be fine…." He whispered, and I felt something wet drop on my head.
I looked up from where he cradled me in his arms and realized he was crying. Why? Why is my love crying? I saw something out of the corner of my eye and turned, watching it float to the ground. It was a piece of fabric from my shirt, but it wasn't glowing anymore… I wasn't glowing anymore…
Another object floated down and landed by my hand, and, curious, I picked it up. It was a feather of the deepest ebony; smooth and sleek. I looked up again and gazed in wonder around me- it was raining fabric and feathers. That was when it dawned upon me… The strange weight, the pain, Yami's sadness….
I had wings……

I jolted awake, panting heavily. What was that?! Why had I grown wings?! Why had they been black?!
I held my head in my hands, trying to calm down. I heard birds chirping outside, and the small beams of light that shone through the slats of my blinds clearly meant it was the next morning. I checked my clock- 6:15, the time I normally woke up to get ready for school. Forcing myself to ignore the nagging feeling something was amiss, I went through my usual morning routine, then said good-bye to 'Ji-chan and started walking down the street.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I neared the front gates, I heard someone yell my name and was nearly tackled by a hysteric Ryou.
"Oh my God! Yuugi-kun, I'm so sorry! I tried to warn you…! Really, I did! But I was too late! I- I- Oh God, I'M SO SORRY!!!" he cried, sobbing into my chest as we lie sprawled out on the school lawn.
"R- Ryou-kun! Nani?!" (what the-?!) I stuttered, not knowing what could've brought on this type of behavior.
He pulled away, gazing down at me with sad eyes. "You're like me now, Yuugi-kun…. I can see it… You've… you've become one of the Fallen…"
My mind tried to process what he was saying, but it was useless, having frozen over when I got a good look at Ryou….
…..He had black wings too.

K: *proud smile* Well, there you have it- chapter 5… Pretty damn good, if I do say so myself… A bit short though… --; *sighs* Oh well…
Anyhoo, I hope you guys enjoyed that. Things are getting a lot more complicated now…. And *gasp* I think I might've stumbled onto some sort of a plot! O_O;
As for when the next chappie comes out, I have but one request before I can write it. I need a couple of you to send me fanart for this chapter. I'm gonna try drawing something for it too, but knowing me, it won't look half as good as when I'd imagined it in my mind…. --; *grumbles about non-cooperative hands*
If I do manage to draw something decent, just tell me if you want to see it, and I'll e-mail it to you. I must warn you, though- I haven't drawn Yuugi-tachi for a few months now… ; (Piro, Largo, Miho, [Mega Tokyo] Sora, Riku, Rikku, [Kingdom Hearts, 'cept Rikku, cuz' he's kinda like Riku's yami] Naruto, Sasuke, [Naruto] and Daisuke [DN Angel], yes…. Yuugi-tachi, no…. ; I really need to get back on track…)
So, after at least 2 or 3 of you send me fanart, I will type up and post the next chapter. Yes, I know I'm evil. But being evil is fun, so tough shit. XP
Well, I guess I'll try drawing something, or maybe try doing that fanart of Naruto in tight leather pants that Japime Gurl wanted…. *thinks about it* Nah… I'll probably screw his face up…. --; *thinks about it some more* Still…. *ponders some more* Think she'll mind if he has wings? Cuz' I feel like drawing wings after writing all about them…. ;
