Dreams of Angels

Pan: Yami's VERY paranoid this chapter. Not sure why.

Also, Gundam Wing doujinshi plus prawn crackers equals weird Pan.

The pluses and minuses don't work anymore!

Does anyone know of any decent Yu-Gi-Oh! Doujinshi sites?

Angel Reaper, I'm paranoid of falling off of the trampoline, so I can't do anything fancy that could catapult me off of the trampoline. Of course, if I wasn't paranoid, I'd be a whole lot better at it. There's a teacher at my school who is said to drop things on the floor for the purpose of looking up girls' skirts. I'm lucky not to have had him. He's creepy.

LilAznSp0nge, you seem like my kinda person. Insane, that is.

Chen, I haven't decided what to do with Ryou really. Malik... well... read the chapter. I never did quite understand the rules of Cluedo... and no-one ever wanted to play it with me either... :( Also the 'scary boss of evil people' will be arriving VERY soon. rubs hands in glee Pan has good idea for them too...

Luff, er... right... whatever...

Pan now also comes equipped with her very own ocarina! (insert asterisk)hugs ocarina(insert asterisk) I can play Zelda's Lullaby!

Why won't the little starries work anymore!? Tis not fair!

"May I suggest lunch?" Ryou asked. Yugi looked over at him.

"If you're cooking, I wouldn't say no!"

"Well, you must be better than Yugi." Yami commented, receiving a glare from his other half. "Do you deny it?" Yugi shook his head.

"Lunch is good." Bakura said, sitting cross-legged on the floor with an ice pack clamped to the side of his face.

"I'd say that's a majority," Ryou smiled. "What have you got, Yugi?"

"Loads of stuff; use whatever you want, just avoid the cheese in the refrigerator." Yugi answered.

"Why?" Ryou asked cautiously.

"Because it's sort of... well... eight years out of date."

"Eight years!? That's cheese from before you put the Puzzle together!" Malik exclaimed. "Why did you keep it that long the first place, and why don't you just throw it out!?"

"I kept it as a science project, and throwing it out constitutes murder now," Yugi answered brightly. "I could find the project out for you. It was about decomposition of foodstuffs, but my end result was much more interesting than that."

"Just keep your fingers away from the salad drawer." Yami said. "It's developed a taste for meat."

"I like the sound of this cheese..." Bakura said, following Ryou into the kitchen.

----

Half an hour later, Ryou placed a large plate of sandwiches on the coffee table.

"So, any idea what happened to Kuroi in the end?" Malik asked Yami.

"No idea." he replied. "He was long gone by the time I woke up."

"It's likely that we're getting pretty high up the ranks with Hunters." Bakura said, selecting a corned beef sandwich. "We will probably be facing the leader pretty soon."

"If we survive anyone that comes before..." Malik muttered.

"We'll survive." Yami said firmly, pulling Yugi onto his lap from where the boy sat next to him.

"I'm glad you're so optimistic." Bakura said. "Because the rest of us are in a lot of danger right now."

"Why?" Yugi frowned slightly.

"Well, Kahi went straight after Yami originally, despite trying to get Youkai. Kuroi then used Yugi to get to Yami. The next person could use any of us to blackmail Yami into giving up." Bakura explained.

"Yami, stop that..." Yugi murmured as Yami started kissing the smaller boy's neck gently. Yami just smirked into his kisses and carried on.

"So, therefore, I suggest we keep together as much as possible." Bakura continued.

"Together is good!" Yami murmured.

"What is wrong with you tonight, Yami?" Yugi asked suddenly.

Yami blinked innocently. "Nothing."

"Then why are you acting like this?"

"Because I love you!"

"Yeah, I know, but not in front of the others!"

"Hey, we don't mind a free show!" Malik said, smirking.

"Well you're not getting one, you pervert!" Yugi said irritably.

"I'm hurt. Me, a pervert?"

"sA ny rri Malik! XAmi, rri!" Yami said angrily.

"What did you just say?!" Malik screameds.

"sA ny rri! XAmi!"

"Uh, Bakura, what is Yami saying?" Yugi asked as he got placed back on the sofa. Yami stood up tp glare at Malik.

"Oh, Yami just said that Malik was the son of pigs... Oh, and he told him to bow down." Bakura replied casually.

"mwt wnn rri, it wnn rri, Abt wnn rri, wyt Tn wnn aA!" Yami narrowed his eyes, smirking at Malik, who was absolutely fuming.

"Translation?" Yugi requested.

"'Your mother was a pig, your father was a pig, your whole family were pigs and yet you are an ass.' Ass being donkey." Bakura said, smiling across at the short boy.

"wi xrt-ib Tn xpt in Ammit, pr-aa!" Malik said darkly, and stormed out. Yami looked partially offended and partially amused.

"Oh, gods..." Yugi murmured.

"Just in case you wanted to know, Malik wished Yami death at the hands of Ammit." Bakura said, sounding almost helpful, apart from the laughs punctuating his speech.

"Oh yeah. That's just great."

"Don't worry, aibou! Malik's tried before and failed." Yami returned to his place next to Yugi.

"Yes, but before, you didn't insult his family!"

"And that makes a difference because...?"

"Look, Yami, why did you do that?" Yugi asked exasperatedly. Yami blushed, pulling Yugi towards him and hiding his face in the smaller boy's shoulder.

"Well, yesterday, Malik was trying to steal Ryou from Bakura..." Yami began, his voice muffled.

"And you were worried he'd try and do the same to me?" Yugi finished for him. He felt Yami nod against his shoulder.

"You're so silly!" Yugi exclaimed. Yami looked up, blinking innocently.

"Nobody could ever take me away from you. Never ever. Honestly, this is as silly as the time you didn't want me to see you cry." Yugi said, smiling gently.

"Pharaoh-sama cries?" Bakura asked Ryou quietly, receiving a smack in return.

"Yugi..." Yami murmured, hugging Yugi tight.

"Heeeeellpppp...." Yugi said slowly. "Can't breeeathhhhe!"

"Pharaoh-sama, I do suggest you allow your aibou to breathe..." Bakura said with a smirk.Yami relaxed his grip slightly, but was still holding on reasonably tightly.

"I want this to end now..." Yami murmured. "I want to forget my past all over again, and just be a normal teenager..."

"You can't, you mustn't, ever forget your past again, Ya-chan." Yugi said. "Our pasts are what make us who we are. If you weren't who your past made you, can you honestly say that I'd be here, with you, right now?"

Yami smiled softly. "I suppose not."

"And if we're to save the future from the Karyuudo, we must rely on the weapons the past gives us." Yugi added.

"Malik..."

The sandy-blonde Egyptian whirled around as he heard the voice. "Who's there?!"

"Malik..."

Malik's lavender eyes searched the area around him, but he could see nothing.

"Malik..."

"T-Tomb robber, this isn't funny!" Malik said loudly, though he was sure it wasn't Bakura.

"Malik... how would you like to get back at the Pharaoh?" the voice asked.

"Yami? I-I don't really want to get back at him, it was just a silly arguement!" Malik replied warily.

"But he insulted your family..."

"Th-That's true, but..."

"Come on, it's not like you're friends..."

"I'm friends with Yugi, and I don't want to hurt him!"

"But I'm talking about Yami... Yugi will be perfectly safe..."

"But still, no!"

"Malik, I don't want to have to make you!"

"NO!"

"You give me no choice, Gravekeeper."

Malik felt something connect sharply with the back of his head, and he fell unconscious.

----

"Everything's falling into place..." said a sing-song voice. "Love is such a deadly thing, ne? I can't wait to prove it to you, Yami!"
