Dreams of Angels
Pan: Well, one piece of coursework out of the way! (Maths. Maths coursework sucks.) I just have my French to do now, and that's pretty much half done, but you know what that means! New chapter! And working on the next!
S. Chensu and Luff: I loved writing that bit with Jonouchi... so funny... you see, this is what Coca-Cola does to my brain. I'm guessing that one of you is my age, or a year older, and the other is a few years older... I'm fifteen, by the way. Everyone laughs at me because I like Yu-Gi-Oh!... well, screw them!
Rikainiel: Isn't he just? Unfortunately, in this chapter, I kick him out for a little while... only a little while though.
Everyone who reviewed: You guys are all GREAT! Thanks for reading my stories!
Disclaimer: I never do these, unless I'm having a laugh. I own a single Yu- Gi-Oh! Deck, and a rat called Ryou. Other than that, I own NOTHING!

"Aren't two languages enough already?" Yami complained as they left their English class. "I can speak Egyptian and Japanese; what else do I need?" Yugi laughed. "Nobody speaks Egyptian any more - at least, not your Egyptian." he said. "And all Japanese are taught at least some English; it is the second most commonly spoken language in the world." "What's the first?" Yami inquired out of interest. "And why do we learn the second most common?" "The most commonly spoken language of all is Mandarin Chinese, and that's only because China has such a high population." Yugi answered, remembering pages from his Geography book. "Screw that..." Yami muttered.
"Yo, guys!" Jonouchi called, running to catch up with them. "Looking forward to phys ed? I heard we're doing athletics now." "No..." Yugi groaned. "I'm useless at athletics!" "What about Mr. King-Of-Games?" Jonouchi asked, looking pointedly at Yami, who sighed. "The title 'King of Games' does not include many physical games, such as the ones in phys ed class." he said dully. "And five years sitting on a throne, followed by three thousand in a Puzzle does not do one's legs much good." "You managed to run plenty during Battle City." Jonouchi pointed out. "What would have happened if I hadn't?" Yami asked him seriously. "Good question." Jonouchi said.

"Excellent..." Kahi murmured. From a small wooden box, she lifted a single arrow, a set of silver chains, and a long white robe. "The Karyuudo have been kind this time..." The arrowhead had an eerie white glow to it, though the shaft was black. Kahi lifted her dark cloak, and wrapped it about her shoulders, pinning it with the 'YK' brooch. She closed her locker door carefully, taking the arrow and chains with her. The hallway was abandoned, as everyone was in class. She made her way out to the field.

"I thought you said you weren't good at running!" Jonouchi exclaimed, as Yami beat him in a hundred-metre sprint for the third time. Yami shrugged. "I can't be expected to tell the truth all the time. Someone makes sure of that." he said slowly. "Well, tell Youkai to butt out!" Jonouchi said. He had been informed of the peculiar circumstances, when Yami had hit himself on the head hard to make Youkai stop making him write rude things in Egyptian for a laugh, in the middle of an exam. "He's only doing it because he wants to race too." Yami said. "But he can't, because wings are too conspicuous." Yugi jogged up, having finished four-hundred metres, and coming in last. "He doesn't have to change your form." he said, a little breathlessly. Yami sighed. "I suppose... if I just let him control my body..." he said carefully. "Yeah, go on!" Jonouchi urged. "I've never even got to meet him yet!"
"OK..." Yami looked around to make sure that no-one was watching. "I do wish this process wasn't so obvious..." He closed his eyes, and focused for a second. A purple flame sprang up at his feet, and quickly spread into a circle, a metre in diameter, surrounding him. Jonouchi watched in interest, and noted that a similar thing was happening to Yugi, only with blue flames. After a few more seconds, the kanji for 'Youkai' etched itself under Yami, and for 'Tenshi' under Yugi. A final few seconds, and the flames were extinguished.
Yami opened his eyes sleepily. They were a much deeper red than usual. "Yeah!" he cheered loudly. Yugi sweatdropped. "What? I don't get out much anymore, Tenshi!" Yugi sighed. "Yes, but it's not supposed to be so obvious." he said, glaring at his counterpart with clear blue eyes. Jonouchi watched in interest. "Hello." he said finally. Yami looked up at him. "Hi! You must be Jonouchi!" He smiled. "I'm Youkai, and that's Tenshi." Tenshi grinned. "Yugi told me all about you." he said.
"This is strange..." Jonouchi said. "Yami told me that Youkai was evil..." Youkai shook his head hurriedly. "No, no. Used to be... used to be very evil..." He stared at his feet for a moment, and sniffed. "Don't you start crying!" Tenshi said loudly. Youkai looked up cheerfully. "Never mind."
"Yami! Jonouchi!" Ryou called. "We've got to run the four hundred now!" "See you later, Tenshi!" Youkai winked as he walked towards Ryou. The white- haired youth blinked. "How are you, Youkai?" he asked nervously. "Fine!" Youkai beamed. "It's almost disturbing how cheery that Demon is..." Tenshi murmured.
"On your marks... get set..." the teacher called. "GO!"
Youkai took off at great speed, though Jonouchi did a good job of keeping up. The Demon could run much faster than Yami ever could, but much preferred flying. Tenshi's blue eyes followed their progress, until the feeling of a nearby prescence made him look away.
His eyes lighted upon a figure in the shadows. They seemed to be holding a bow, with an arrow raised to it. The figure was carefully aiming a little ahead of its moving target. They loosed the string, and the arrow flew forward.
Youkai had just reached the two-hundred metre mark when he felt the energy contained in the arrow rushing towards him. "What?!" he muttered. His eyes followed the arrow, and a few seconds before it hit him, he jumped into the air, black wings forming at his shoulders. He sighed with relief as the arrow shot past just below him, thankfully missing the other runners.
"Youkai! Your shadow!" Tenshi yelled across the field. As Youkai's feet touched the ground, her turned to see his shadow writhing around on the floor, several metres away, and pinned down by the arrow. He felt a searing pain in his head, a pain which forced him to his knees, as the dark figure rushed forwards, and snatched up the arrow. The struggling shadow was absorbed into the arrow. Youkai caught a glimpse of blonde hair, as the figure dashed off.
By now, the other runners had stopped, curious as to what was going on. Tenshi ran across to Youkai, who was standing frozen to the spot. He looked at Tenshi as the little Angel ran up. "Tenshi, wipe their memories, and take us home. Now. Something terrible has happened." he said quickly. Youkai noticed Ryou running over as well. "Except Ryou, but including Jonouchi, for now."
Tenshi sighed. A white glow formed between his hands, and flowed out in several streams, each one touching the head of one person. In a flash, Youkai, Tenshi and Ryou were home, and nobody else remembered what had happened.

"Youkai, what happened?!" Yugi asked quickly. "Why can't I sense Yami anywhere?" Youkai sighed. "That arrow... was meant for me..." he said quietly. "If Yami had been running, and it struck his shadow, he would still be here. It's my damn fault!" He sat down, burying his head in his hands. "But... what happened?" Yugi asked again. "That arrow has seized Yami's soul. He's gone. You could search his soul room for eternity, and never find him." Youkai answered slowly. "They meant to capture me."
"Yami's gone?!" Ryou (and Bakura, who had just appeared) exclaimed. Yugi sank to his knees, bursting into tears. "Shh, Yugi..." Youkai said comfortingly, putting his arm around Yugi's shoulders. "Look, I won't rest until he's back... well... I won't rest for three days..."
"Three days?" Bakura inquired. "Yes, three days." Youkai said, looking up. "You see... you could sort of call me a parasite, though that word is a bit harsh. Without Yami's soul here, I can only survive three days, at which point, I will... well... die, and Yami's body will be left soulless." There was a flash of blue flame, as Yugi retreated to his soul room in tears, and Tenshi re-emerged.
"A little like, if Ryou dies, I will too, because we're connected through the Ring?" Bakura said. Tenshi nodded. "Yes, just like that."

"I can't believe it..." Kahi muttered. The shadow she had captured was chained to the walls of a white room - and under the white robes she had put it in, was the sleeping soul she had captured, in its true form. The robes were hooded, and covered mosty of their body.
"I have captured the wrong soul! A dark one, nonetheless, but not the one I wanted..." She paused thoughtfully. "Though... I can use it to get what I want..."
"Uhnnn..." The sleeping soul opened its eyes slowly. "What happened? Where am I?" it asked in a quiet voice. "You're my prisoner..." Kahi answered. The soul looked up with shocked crimson eyes. "Why do you take me prisoner!?" it asked in surprise. "You, Pharaoh Atemu, are going to help me get what I want." Kahi announced smugly. "The chains bind your strength, and the colour white gives me absolute power over you. I've seperated you from your friends, and now, you're mine!"
"Wha..." Yami's voice died, and his eyes went blank, as Kahi clapped her hands. Smirking, she left the room to plan her next move.
