DICLAIMER: Don't sue; I don't own anything but the twisted idea's that emerge from my mostly empty brain. Run Mr. Skinny-pig run!
A/N: Ummm yeah I got bored again sweatdrop
Are you mine Angel?
The human being - that which makes us as we are is – is too fragile. We seek false security within each other's presence, each weak and afraid. Why?
Love, caring, compassion?
Lust, want, need?
OrFear, pain, anguish?
We are fragile both outside and within, yet we cling to the illusion or strength, the dream of power. These delusions of grandeur will be our downfall, the epitome of our destruction.
"Fools. The lot of them are fools."
A soft chuckle arose from the surrounding darkness. "Come now Yami. They may be fools but they're tasty fools."
Yami laughed riley. "You're right Bakura… yet they aren't quite satisfying enough… I need something more – pure…"
"Good look with that, the only beings that retain their purity are angels." Muttered Bakura flipping white bangs out of his crimson eyes.
A grin spread across Yami's features, his own crimson eyes flashed with delight. "An angel… that's what I need."
"What?" Cried Bakura. "Are you crazy? We're moderate level demons; even if we are the princes of the vampires, there's no way for us to get an angel."
Yami turned to Bakura, his shape outlined by the city lights, multicoloured hair moving with the wind. "Then we'll just have to get an angel to come to us."
"Ryou-chan!" A rustling sound was heard then the call came again still in the same childish voice. "Ryou-chan!"
Soulful green eyes turned to look in the direction of the voice, as the young black-haired angel flew up. "Hello Mokuba-chan; how are you?"
Mokuba landed right next to the pale angel. "THEY wish to see you Ryou-chan; THEY say it's urgent."
The white-haired angel stood up gracefully. "Then let us go Mokuba-chan." The two angels took flight heading towards the centre of Heaven.
Heaven in all its vastness was beautiful; fields of stardust and moonlight fell everywhere, framing roads made out of clouds. Everything was peaceful and serene, angels milled about doing all manners of things.
Angels came in many different forms, yet one thing remained the same about these celestial being they were ageless and sexless. Angels chose the form they wanted based on experience, personality and need; no two angels were the same.
Ryou and Mokuba landed at the base of a large throne located in the centre of heaven.
GREETINGS RYOUBoth Ryou and Mokuba bowed. "Greetings my Lord and Lady."
Do you know why we have called you here angel?
"No my Lady I do not." Replied Ryou eyes down cast, it was immoral to look into the eyes of your create, this was out of a deep respect.
WE REQUIRE A TASK OF YOU"What is it I am required to do my Lord?"
YOU WILL GO TO EARTH TO AID IN AN ON GOING INVESTIGATION
Ryou nodded at the Lord's words signalling understanding. "If that is what you wish of me my Lord."
You will go as a young school student; you will take on a male role and attend Domino Central an all male school.
Ryou blinked nodding once again, they had learned of humans in the Angel Academy. "Who will I be aiding in this investigation and what is it I shall be aiding to investigate?" Asked Ryou beginning to shift into a human form.
You will be aiding the Lady Isis
Ryou looked up at the lady in shock. "Lady Isis? The Seer of Astaroth?" Quickly he looked down again in shame. "Forgive my outburst my lady, I forgot my place."
Gentle laughter rang around him and Mokuba as THEY exchanged a look.
We are not dictators, we are your creators' yes but we are also your parents. Do not fear us or worship us. We have humans who do that well enough themselves.
Ryou blinked amazed at what THEY were saying, angels were always told to worship THEM, the Creator'. "Forgive me my Lord and my Lady I did not mean to offend."
IT IS ALRIGHT CHILDGo now child, Lady Isis awaits you. Please be careful there have been many Fallen sightings in the area in which you head.
Nodding wide-eyed with worry, Ryou spread his wings and with a small wave of farewell to Mokuba, he flew down to Earth.
"Yugi did you see that?"
"See what Malik?" Asked Yugi amethyst eyes looking up from his work briefly to stare at his sandy-haired friend.
Malik's lavender eyes were trained on the sky, searching for something. "I saw a bright flash of white, and whatever it was it looked like it was falling!"
Blinking Yugi shook his tri-coloured star-shaped head. "You probably saw a shooting star or something." He stated with a small dismissing wave, turning back to his Calculus homework.
Ignoring Yugi's dismissal and obvious lack of interest Malik continued on. "I think I landed in the park; if we find it maybe we could sell it for lots of cash."
Yugi hook his head still not interested in what Malik had to say finding his homework much more interesting.
Malik frowned trying to think of something that would peek Yugi's interest. A devious grin spread across Malik's tanned features. "I bet Ms. Mac Fee would give us extra marks in physics if we brought in a meteorite or something else science related."
His grinned widened as he saw Yugi's pencil pause in its writing. "Maybe it will even help us with University recognitions; especially if we get on TV."
"Do you really think so?"
Hook, line and sinker, Malik thought grinning. "Of course, we'd be smart. Rich and famous!"
Yugi set his pencil down and turned to look at Malik. "Fine but if we don't find anything we're coming right back here to finish our homework."
Malik sighed rolling hi eyes. "Fine, if we don't find anything we'll come right back here and finish our," A shudder ran through him, "Calculus."
"Fine… but put your coat on it's snowing outside."
Shuddering at the dreaded S-word, Malik grabbed his coat. "Ugh, don't remind me." He turned to stare at Yugi accusingly. "How can you like that Re-damned stuff?"
Yugi rolled his eyes as he opened the door after having donned his own coat. "Because it's pretty and I like it."
"Crazy talk! You've been programmed to think that way!"
"Yes, Malik the Aliens from Neptune did it; they programmed me to like snow and to suck what little brain you have out." Replied Yugi sarcastically.
Malik snapped his fingers. "I knew it!"
Yugi shook his head. "You're weird, I made all that up."
Crossing his arms Malik stood there in a self-righteous pose. "Or did you? Remember the bunnies Yugi… remember the bunnies." He said nodding his head sadly.
"Bunnies? What are you talking about?" Sighing in annoyance Yugi pushed Malik out the door. "Let's just go before I really do suck what little brains you have out.
"Whatever you say dumpling!"
"Argh!"
Crazed lavender eyes gazed around listlessly; a grin spread across a deeply tanned face, large tanned hands reached out – SNAP – the wiggling was stilled, eyes became devoid of life.
"M-master Ishtar?" A terrified voice ventured from beside the crazed being's throne.
Those crazed eyes turned to the poor servant. "Yes–?"Drawled the tan being lazily.
The servant flinched, honey-brown eyes wide with terror, instincts screaming at him to flee. "There has been a-an angel sighting m-my L-lord."
A sinister grin spread across the being's face. "Tenshi-da?" The being leaned forward coming face to face with the servant. "Where"
Nearly pissing his pants the servant pointes towards a nearby map. "S-Sector S25, D-Domino Park"
"Excellent –"
The white fluff know as Ryou stood up dusting the snow from his body, shivering in the simple tunic and pants he was wearing, excluding socks or shoes. "I-it's s-sp c-c-cold." He murmured to himself sneezing. "I h-have to find shelter, I may be… achoo... a-an angel but w-while here my body is c-c-completely human… feels so o-odd."
The now temporarily human angel began to wade through the ankle deep snow feeling his legs and feet freeze, and his body temperature drop. After walking for a while Ryou's body gave way beneath him and he fell unconscious into the snow.
Not too far off Yugi and a very unhappy and cold Malik were making their way through the snow towards the centre of the park. Neither noticed the fallen angel (he is all white after all) until they fell over him, well Malik did, and he tripped over him to be exact, causing him to fall into the snow.
"W-what the H, E double hockey sticks!" (I'm Canadian sue me :P)
"You've been watching too much TV." Said Yugi giggling then bending down to help Malik up. "What did you trip over anyway?"
Malik shook his head turning and looking behind him at what had tripped him. "Holy Re! It's a ghost"
Kneeling down beside the fallen figure, Yugi checked for a pulse. "It's not a ghost… I think it's a girl." He pointed to the figures feet. "Look she's not wearing any sock or shoes, or even anything warm! If she stays here she could catch pneumonia and die! We have to help her!"
Malik bit his lip unsure. " What will your grandfather think?"
"He's always taught me to help others. Malik she needs our help."
With a resigned sigh Malik bent down and picked the pale figure up, then he began to walk back towards his and Yugi's house. "What about the meteorite?"
Yugi glared up at Malik hitting him in the arm. "MAILK!"
Malik winced laughing. "I'm kidding. Let's get home and take care of her before catch pneamon… umm… that thing you said."
"Pneumonia?"
Malik nodded. "Yeah that thing."
Yugi sighed. "Let's just get home."
Malik nodded as they walked back home.
