Dreams of Angels
Pan: Umm... a chapter in which not an astounding amount happens... hmm... if I don't get thinking, this fic will end up very short, which I don't want it to. Well, I just have to keep working at it, and I promise, something more interesting will happen in the next chapter. Honest!

"Yugi, please, come out and eat something!" Tenshi begged on the morning of the second day. The small boy's soul room had become surprisingly dark, even in the day that Yami had been gone. "No..." Yui-s quiet voice replied. He sat on the floor against the wall, with his knees brought to his chest. "Yugi, you know Youkai will do everything he can to get Yami back!" Tenshi said. "I don't understand, this isn't like you."
"How many times have I nearly lost him?" Yugi murmured. "How many times has he had to suffer for me or our friends. It's not fair." "Snap out of it!" Tenshi yelled. "Look at yourself; you're pathetic! Why would Yami even want to be with someone like you, who gives up at the first sign of trouble? Maybe I'll keep hold of your body forever, then you can sit here and wallow in self-pity for as long as you damn well like!" Yugi's eyes half-closed. "You're right. Keep my body, I don't care." he said dully. Tenshi rolled his eyes. 'Oh for Ra's sake...' he thought. Walking over, he leaned down, and slapped Yugi hard about the face. "You're the Light. You're supposed to be optimistic." he said.
"Tenshi!" Youkai called. Tenshi sighed, and left the room, and returned to the real world.
"Don't bother with Yugi now." Youkai told him. "Why not?!" Tenshi exclaimed. "Look, I balance you, Yami balances Yugi; without Yami, Yugi is unbalanced. Darkness is a powerful force, and I can't balance him out without unbalancing you." Youkai explained. "He'll be like that until his Light re-awakens."
Tenshi nodded. "Any news?" he asked. Youkai smiled. "Ryou's told me that Karyuudo Kahi was missing from school today. She's the one Yami wasn't sure about. The blonde hair also matches that which I saw." he said. "So, we've got our girl!" Tenshi said joyfully. "And Yugi can be back to normal soon!" "Not quite. There's no sign of her. All of the records the school has of her have been destroyed. No-one knows anything about her." Youkai said. "The tomb robber and his hikari are out searching with the Millennium Ring, but they have been gone for hours."
There was a flash of blue underneath Tenshi. "The Puzzle!" Yugi gasped. Youkai frowned. "Yami freed himself of it." he said. "But it still belongs to him! He still controls it!" Yugi said frantically. He raced up the stairs, and grabbed Yami's copy of the Puzzle, which lay next to his bed all the time. He chose not to wear it to school, because of it's value, and it tended to get in the way. Youkai ran after him. Yugi was sitting on the bed, with the Puzzle resting in his cupped hands.
Yugi sighed quietly. "Millennium Puzzle, I know that I don't command you, but please help us to find the soul of the one who does." he said. The eye on the front of the Puzzle glimmered, and then went dull again. After a few seconds of nothing, the Puzzle lifted from his hands. Glowing words formed before it.
'The One of Golden Heart is lost.
The One of Darker Heart will die.
The solution:
The One of Pure Heart give up
The One of Lighter Heart.
The One of Darker Heart, shall then give himself in sacrifice, returns
The One of Golden Heart.'
The words faded, and Yugi just caught the Puzzle as it fell. "That made close to no sense." he commented. Youkai shrugged. "I don't know; it made pretty good sense to me. You're the One of Pure Heart, Yami's the One of Golden Heart, Tenshi's the One of Lighter Heart, and I'm the One of Darker Heart." he said. Yugi frowned. "But... do I have to give up Tenshi?" he said. Youkai sighed. "It would seem that way, but it is impossible for you to seperate yourself from Tenshi. You'd need a ShadowSoul Arrow, like the one that took Yami." he said slowly. "And therefore, it would appear that I am to die."

Kahi smirked down at Yami's chained figure. "Rise up." she commanded. Yami slowly got to his feet, and looked straight ahead with blank, soulless eyes. She undid the chains from the walls. "Speak: 'Yugi'" she ordered. Yami's lifeless voice spoke "Yugi.".
"Isn't this wonderful?" Kahi clapped her hands in mock, sarcastic joy. "The white allows me to look into your mind, and see all of your memories! I can see you in your first lifetime; I can see all your memories of your power; even your relationship with your little boyfriend, Yugi! And there's no way you can stop me!" She laughed. "Yami; Speak your mind."
The life returned to Yami's voice as he spoke. "The others will look for me, and they will find me. They're more powerful than the Youkai Karyuudo, even without me! You'll be sentenced to eternity in the Shadow Realm!" he said. "Silence!" Kahi commanded. Yami fell silent. "Speak: 'The Youkai Karyuudo command me.'" Yami repeated in the lifeless voice. "The Youkai Karyuudo command me." Kahi smiled. "Speak: The demon my body houses shall be brought before the Karyuudo, and will be destroyed." "The demon my body houses shall be brought before the Karyuudo, and will be destroyed." Yami repeated. "The great Pharaoh, just like a doll!" Kahi laughed. "Come, my doll. We have a plan to put into action."

The words that the Puzzle gave him ran through Yugi's mind as he lay on the bed he shared with Yami, staring at the ceiling. "Give up the One of Lighter Heart...." Yugi muttered. "What does it mean?" "It means that I am not actually meant for this world." Tenshi said quietly from within Yugi's mind. "Youkai was never meant to come into physical existence, and neither was I." Yugi sat up. "But... I can't give you up..." He could tell that Tenshi was smiling. "Listen; replace 'the one of lighter heart' with my name." he said.
Yugi spoke aloud. "Give up Tenshi." He frowned. "I still don't understand." "Put a comma between 'up' and 'Tenshi'" the Angel spirit instructed. "Give up, Tenshi." Yugi said. "It was an instruction to me, not you." Tenshi said. "I have to give up trying to do the thing I was put here to do. So remove that phrase."
Yugi scribbled out the words on a piece of paper.
'The One of Golden Heart is lost.
The One of Darker Heart will die.
The solution:
The One of Pure Heart (give up
The One of Lighter Heart.)
The One of Darker Heart, shall then give himself in sacrifice, returns
The One of Golden Heart.'
"Now, there's an instruction to Youkai there too. Remove it." Tenshi instructed.
Yugi re-wrote it.
The One of Golden Heart is lost.
The One of Darker Heart will die.
The solution:
The One of Pure Heart (give up
The One of Lighter Heart.)
[The One of Darker Heart, shall then give himself in sacrifice,] returns
The One of Golden Heart.'
"There, you have your solution." Tenshi said smugly. Yugi read it, leaving out the parts that were instructions to Tenshi and Youkai. "The One of Pure Heart returns the One of Golden Heart." he said aloud. "Yugi returns Yami. That's hardly helpful!" Tenshi sighed. "Maybe there are words missing. I'll leave you to finish this Puzzle." he said, emphasizing the word 'puzzle'.
Yugi stared at the words. For ages, it seemed to him, he sat there to ponder the words. "This makes no sense." he concluded. "There is no way that this is helpful."

"Bakura, there's nothing here. Let's go." Ryou said. The pair had walked everywhere throughout Domino, and there was no sign of Yami. The Ring had been asked to locate him; nothing. Also, no-one seemed to know that a person called Karyuudo Kahi ever existed. She had fallen from the face of the planet, along with Yami.
"I know..." Bakura responded. "There's just something about the name Karyuudo... seems familiar..." He thought for a moment. "Never mind. Let's get back to Yugi's; maybe the other have thought of a good plan."
The sun set on the second day.
