Chapter II: House Guests
Malik sweat dropped when the three angels and Jounouchi arrived at the blonde's house. To put it simply, Jounouchi's house was a complete and utter mess. There was garbage laying all over the floor, making it look like a sea of half eaten, half drunken junk food wrappers and cans. His unwashed laundry was hanging off his lamps and placed haphazardly on the furniture. Malik shuddered, imagining what the bathroom must have looked like.
Jounouchi smiled weakly, "Eh, gomen nasai for the mess. I haven't cleaned in days."
"More like in years!" Malik thought immediately.
Jounouchi placed his book bag on the floor and stepped over piles of garbage to get to the kitchen, "Make yourselves at home", he told them.
"Where!?" Malik felt like shouting.
Ryou and Yuugi looked at each other and sighed. "I had my doubts about Jounouchi-sama demo this definitely takes the cake. You'd think the High Cleric of Ra would be more... tidy", Ryou stated.
Yuugi smiled warily, "Hey! Come on guys, so our one and only savoir is a pig!"
"That's an understatement Yuugi", Malik said.
Ryou looked at the garbage covered floor and shook his head, having the urge to clean up this disaster. He scanned around the area, estimating how long it would take to clean this up until a saw a bag of Cheetos lying on the floor move.
"Eep!" Ryou screeched, leaping back a few steps and taking cover behind Malik.
The tanned angel raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong Ry?" he asked.
Ryou swallowed and pointed towards the direction where he saw the thing move, "T-That thing! It just moved!" he exclaimed.
"W-What thing?" Yuugi asked, getting a little scared himself.
Malik, who decided to be the brave one, walked cautiously over to the area where Ryou spotted out. He reluctantly extended his hand and lifted up the mega-sized empty bag of Cheetos and saw nothing.
He sighed in relief, "It's okay guys. It's nothing", he told them.
Just when the three thought the coast was clear, a furry head popped out the bag and greeted them a high-pitched 'meow'. The three jumped at the unexpected sound, Malik dropping the bag and running back to join his friends.
Jounouchi walked out of the kitchen a second later, "What's all the racket?" he asked them.
The three angels pointed to the bag of Cheetos with the same frightened look on their faces. Jounouchi looked down at where they were pointing to and out crawled a small cat with orangey, reddish hair and bright auburn brown eyes.
"Oh, hey there Maha", the blonde greeted the small kitten, bending down and scooping it up lovingly. ((A/N-Ai.... Gomen nasai... But .hackSIGN was on my mind! ))
The three teens looked at other and sweat dropped at how foolish they were acting. Jounouchi looked at them and raised an eyebrow, "Don't tell me you guys were making all that commotion over a neko."
The three blushed and Jounouchi sweat dropped, "You guys need to chill..." he told them, letting the cat jump out of this arms and scampering towards the three.
Maha looked up at the three strangers curiously with its large eyes. Ryou looked back at it and felt a warm fuzzy feeling in his stomach until an adoring smile occupied his face.
"Aww... Aren't you just so kawaii?" he exclaimed, squatting down and patting Maha on the head affectionately.
Malik sweat dropped at Ryou's sudden change in personality, "Ry, don't you think we should tell him about his position?" he asked.
Ryou looked up at Malik and then stood up, "Hai", he said in a serious voice.
"I suppose we should start at the beginning", Ryou decided on.
Yuugi shot his hand up, "May I begin?" he asked in an excited voice.
Malik nodded and Jounouchi sweat dropped at how childish Yuugi was acting. Yuugi took in a deep breath before he began, "Well it's like this. For over thousands and thousands of years, the demons and angels have been participating in a fierce battle. The demon army is commanded by Orisis, God of the Underworld, and the angels are commanded by the Almighty Sun God, Ra."
Malik took over after Yuugi, "Then at one point, Orisis enlisted the help of a human Demon Lord to help defeat the angels. As a counter measure, Ra also recruited a human, known as a High Cleric. For over hundred of years, High Clerics have fought side by side with Ra and the angels. Generations and generations of High Clerics have served in this never ending war and now, Jounouchi-sama, you are the next High Cleric."
Ryou looked at the blonde who was trying to retain all of this information, "It's your destiny now, Jounouchi-sama. It's up to you to save the angels and defeat the Demon Lord", he told him.
Jounouchi swallowed nervously, "D-demo, who is this Demon Lord?" he asked.
"He's being found right now", Malik answered him, "I have no doubt in my mind that the demons are searching for him."
"Then why can't we just find this guy before the demons do?" the blonde asked.
Yuugi shook his head, "If only it were that simple. A Demon Lord's spiritual energies are hidden very well, making it difficult for angels to pin point him. Only other demons may be able to sense him", he explained.
Jounouchi nodded, "I still don't really understand... I mean, how did I become the new High Cleric? You said it was from generations... demo, I really don't think that any of my ancestors were High Clerics, at least I don't think."
Ryou shook his head, "Iie Jounouchi-sama. It's not that you were related to the previous High Clerics, it's just the spiritual energy you hold inside of you", he told him.
"My spirit energy?" Jounouchi asked. ((A/N- Wow, this is starting to sound like Yuu Yuu Hakusho. -.-;;))
"Hai, if you didn't have the strong spirit energy you possess, it wouldn't have been possible for us to reveal your wings", Malik said.
"So then, what now? How do I defeat this Demon Lord?" the blonde asked them.
"With your powers duh!" Yuugi stated with a smile, "You have to fight fire with fire!"
"What Yuugi's trying to say is that you have to waken the powers locked up within you", Malik explained.
"How do I do that?" Jounouchi asked.
"That's where we come in", Ryou told him, "Our job is to train you and prepare you for your battle with the demons."
"Now, the real question is Jounouchi-sama, are you ready for this? Are you ready to endure this training?" Malik asked.
All eyes were on Jounouchi, waiting for this reply. Jounouchi's gave them a solemn look, really thinking about his decision. After a long and hard reflection, Jounouchi gave them a smirk, "You bet", he told them.
The three smiled at other and then at Jounouchi. "We are very grateful Jounouchi-sama", Ryou thanked him with a polite bow.
Yuugi sighed, "Well, now that that's all over, we have to ask you a favor Jounouchi-sama", he said shyly.
The blonde sweat dropped, "Another favor?"
"Um, we were just wondering, if it was possible... for us to stay here", Ryou asked looking at the garbage covered floor.
Jounouchi sweat dropped even more, "You gotta be kidding me..." he said, "I barely have enough room for myself. How am I supposed to fit three angels in here?"
Yuugi walked over to the pull out sofa in which his two other angel friends shared for the night. Yuugi slept on the other, smaller, but just the perfect size for someone like him, sofa. Ryou layed there peacefully while Malik on the other hand, slept in the oddest position, his body nearly falling head first onto the floor.
The small angel placed his hands on his hips, "How can they just sleep the day away?" he asked himself.
Yuugi grinned as he climbed onto the foot of the bed and while stifling his giggles, fell backwards on the bed in the gap between the two sleeping angels, the force of his fall pushing the other two up in the air about two inches. Ryou's eyes opened warily when he landed back down on the mattress with a soft 'plop' sound.
He sat up and looked down at Yuugi who was laying there with a bright smile. "Ohayoo Ryou-kun!" he chirped happily with giggles in his upbeat voice.
Ryou smiled back half-heartly, "Ohayoo Yuugi-kun", he said back to him. For as long as Yuugi had been his friend, the small angel was like his personal alarm clock. And while Ryou did much rather sleep in on certain days, he could never stay mad at Yuugi for a long time.
"Um, where's Malik-kun?" Ryou asked, noticing how his side of the bed was empty.
Yuugi sat up and looked over at the edge of the bed. Malik landed on the floor but the noise of his crash was negated because of the thick layer of garbage. Ryou sweat dropped as he got out of bed and walked over to Malik's side.
He shook the tanned angel's shoulder softly, "Hey, wake up Malik-kun", he said.
Malik didn't move. "Wake up Malik-kun", Ryou repeated, his voice a little louder now, shaking his shoulder harder.
Still nothing. Ryou's half-sleepy eyes narrowed as he took hold of both shoulder and started shaking them roughly, "Wake up Malik!" he shouted.
Malik's mouth moved, mumbling something about pie, Ryou couldn't tell. The white haired boy sweat dropped, "An atomic bomb could land on Malik-kun and he'll still be sleeping like a rock..." he commented.
Yuugi slipped out of bed and was on the other side of Malik now. He poked Malik's noise with his finger. Ryou looked down at him. He still didn't move. Ryou closed his eyes in disbelief at how he didn't move an inch. And when he opened back up, he saw Yuugi slapping Malik's face repeatedly.
"Hey! Get up sleepy head!" Yuugi shouted, "Wake up in there!"
Ryou sweat dropped even more, "Yuugi-kun!" he exclaimed.
Apparently that woke Malik up as his eyes opened slowly, looking up at the white haired angel and the spiky haired one. "Keep it down Ry", Malik told him, yawning.
Ryou sweat dropped and just when he was about to make a comment, Jounouchi ran out of his room and into the living room, "Shimatta! I'm late again!" he shouted, putting on his school jacket on in a haphazard manner, his hair a complete mess, his book bag half open with papers flying out.
"Ja matte guys!" he shouted before sprinting down out the door.
Yuugi raised an eyebrow, "Hey? Doesn't Jounouchi-sama have school?"
Ryou sweat dropped yet again, "He must have forgotten or something..." he said, looking up at the clock that said it was ten o' clock.
Malik touch his face and winced, "Oww... Why does my face hurt so much?" he asked, the two angels sweat dropping and laughing warily.
"Anzu nearly had a heart attack when she found out that I was late again", Jounouchi told his friend with the oddest haircut and earthy brown eyes, "I really just don't get her sometimes Honda... I mean, one minute I think she hates my guts and the next, she's worried sick about me", he said.
"You know how she is Jou. She's always worrying about her friends", Honda told him.
Jounouchi rolled his eyes, "Well, if she could worry just a little less, I'd appreciate it."
"Demo, I really can't blame her Jou. I mean, it's been pretty hard for you since you moved out of your dad's place", Honda commented, "How's your job going Jou? Or did you get fired again?"
"Hey now, what's that suppose to mean!?" the blonde asked him suspiciously, eyeing him.
Honda sweat dropped, "Nothing, nothing", he said quickly, "Hey, you mind not looking at me think that? It makes it kinda hard for me to go."
Jounouchi turned to his own urinal ((A/N- insert massive sweatdrop here)) and zipped up his pants. He pulled the handle, flushing the defiled urinal and went over to the sink to wash his hands, Honda flowing after him. Jounouchi could already map out the rest of his day. First off, Anzu would yell at him some more. Then he'd probably get detention from five different teachers and then to finish it off, he'd have to face Kaiba again.
The blonde sighed tiredly, "Man how I love my life..."
The two cleaned their hands and when they stepped out of the bathroom, Anzu's angered face was the first thing they saw. "You'd better have a good explanation for why you were two hours late today Jounouchi", she demanded immediately.
The blonde sweat dropped, "Oh great... How am I supposed to tell her that I have three mystical beings living in my house and trying to teach me how to become the High Cleric of Ra and defeat the demon army from destroying Heaven?"
He ran a hand through his tangled hair, thinking it through. He looked at Anzu and started his explanation, "Well, it's like this Anzu. I guess, you can say, I have people staying over at my house and we sort of stayed up all night and partied."
While most of it was true, the four of them didn't actually 'party'. It was more like trying to calm an extremely hyper Yuugi and Malik because they had eaten so much sugar. How was Jounouchi supposed to know that they've never eaten candy and other highly sugared stuff before? He could have sworn that Heaven had stuff like cookies and cakes.
"People?" Anzu questioned, "What people?" she asked in a super suspicious voice.
"Yeah! And why the hell didn't you invite us over!?" Honda asked right after her, towering over the blonde in a very uncomfortable manner, Anzu glaring at him.
Jounouchi sweat dropped, "They're friends I just met not too long ago", he explained to them.
If by 'not too long ago', you mean less than twenty hours. Anzu gasped, "You let complete strangers into your house!? Jounouchi, for all you know they would be homicidal!"
"No they can't..." Jounouchi muttered, "Last time I checked, angels were good..."
"Well then, you'd better invite me over Jounouchi! I think they're a bad influence on you!" she exclaimed.
"Me too! I wanna meet them too!" Honda said after her.
The blonde sweat dropped, "Demo I can't do that! They'll freak out when they find out that the three are actually angels!"
He was torn. He couldn't reveal to his friends that they were mystical beings especially because he swore to the name of Ra that he wouldn't and be stuck dead if he did. And since they were angels, they had to have great connections with the Big Guy. Or possibly get killed by Malik. Malik for some reason didn't act like an angel. He was a lot more devious and cunning with an evil glint in his eyes. Not to mention Jounouchi already had an encounter with that blade of his. The only time Malik seems to be at his best is when he's talking with Ryou.
But if he didn't tell Anzu and Honda, they would only hound him until they could meet these 'friends'. And they'd seriously do it too. Once Jounouchi didn't tell them that his was moving into his own apartment and Anzu kept sending him all of these threatening e-mail messages and even followed him home one day. Jounouchi swears that Anzu doesn't have a life.
Jounouchi sighed, "I'll talk with them. They're a little shy when it comes to meeting new people", he lied.
Anzu and Honda smiled at each other and then at Jounouchi who could release half a smile.
Jounouchi walked home right after school, which was amazing because he didn't get a detention today. Instead, he must come to school on Saturday and clean every single board in the whole school. He decided it was a fair punishment. At least now he wouldn't miss Yu-Gi-Oh. But he couldn't sidestep his last thing he had on his 'To Do List'. He ran into Kaiba after the last bell and like always, Kaiba threw one of his witty comments at him, causing him to curse at the CEO loudly.
Jounouchi gritted his teeth, "Damn that bastard!" he exclaimed through clenched teeth, his hands balling up into fists.
He walked up to his apartment room and when he opened the door, he could have sworn he was in the wrong house. His--- House--- Was--- CLEAN!!! ((A/N- Dun dun DUN!!! [[plays weird music in the background]] -.-;;))
The floors were spotless and he could have sworn he could see his face on the shiny tiles. His clothes were put away neatly in the closet and everything was tidy and organized. Ryou walked out of the kitchen with an apron around his waist, "Oh, konnichiwa Jounouchi-sama", he greeted him with a smile.
Jounouchi raised an eyebrow and turned around, ready to walk out the door, "Gomen, I must have the wrong house", he said.
Ryou sweat dropped, "Uh, hey! Jounouchi-sama!"
Malik grabbed Jounouchi by his book bag, "Hey, you'd better be grateful for what Ryou did. It took him four hours to clean up this place", he told him in a rather cold and chilling voice.
Jounouchi shuddered and smiled at Ryou, "Arigato Ryou! Arigato!" he said immediately, bowing down politely.
Yuugi laughed, "You'll have to excuse Malik. He practically worships the ground Ryou steps o---"
Malik cuts him off by throwing a plastic cup at the small angel's face, his own tanned face a pink color. Jounouchi raises an eyebrow while Ryou shakes his head in disbelief, his face turning a little pink as well.
"Um, would you like any food Jounouchi-sama? I made dessert", Ryou told him, changing the subject.
Jounouchi nodded instantly, "Hai please", he said, starving since he forgot money to buy food at school.
He sat down at the spotless kitchen table and Ryou brought out a platter full of rice balls shaped in the forms of animals like a rabbit or a mouse. Jounouchi couldn't help but drool over the delectable treats, picking one up and taking a bite into it. His mouth watered as he chewed it, savoring the sweet taste.
He blonde swung around in his chair and beamed at Ryou, "Oh my gods! This is so good Ryou!"
The white haired angel blushed, "Oh, arigato Jounouchi-sama", he thanked.
"Ryou, will you marry me?" Jounouchi asked a second later, actually being serious.
Well, more like half-serious and half-joking. Jounouchi could have cared less he was boy or that he was an angel. But Ryou could pass for a wife. After all, when he first met him, he thought he was girl. And he does housework and cooks like a professional chef.
Malik didn't take his proposal very likely though, throwing a glare at his 'savior'. Jounouchi sweat dropped and finished his rice ball in silence. He looked at Yuugi was getting one of them as well and noticed how he wasn't wearing the white tunic he had on last night. Instead, it was a dark navy blue tank top and rather tight black pants. He looked over at Malik and Ryou and realized they weren't in their white clothes either. He didn't believe that they were borrowing his clothes and he didn't see them carrying bags with them when they arrived at his house last night.
"Um, may I ask where you guys got the clothes from?" Jounouchi asked.
"Oh, the people up in Heaven sent them down here", Yuugi explained, "Since we're going to be with you for a while, we needed to be able to blend in with the crowd ya know?"
Jounouchi nodded when he remembered something, "Oh, um, speaking of which... I was just wondering... If maybe I could invite my friends over to meet you guys", he asked shyly, "I mean I know I'm not to reveal to other people that you're angels demo I couldn't say no and---"
"Go ahead", Malik said, cutting him off.
Jounouchi looked up at him. "You can invite them over", Malik told him.
"For real!?" Jounouchi asked, hoping that he would say 'no' because he didn't really want Anzu and Honda to visit.
"Of course", Ryou answered, "After all, if we're going to be training you, it could take months before you've mastered your skills so the three of us need to blend in with the crowd. That's why they sent us these clothes."
"Hey, I just said that!" Yuugi chirped.
Jounouchi sighed, "Great... Anzu and Honda get to come over..."
