Shiroi no Kokoro, Ganjou no Kokoro
-White Heart, Strong Heart-
Yea, it's a Yu-Gi-Oh/DN Angel cross, not very original right? Anyways I was listening to the theme of DN Angel when it hit me. Yep, right in the middle of my stupid history homework. So I wrote part of it, then stopped, and then wrote some more after homework was done. And here I am!
This story takes place after both story lines of DN Angel and Yu-Gi-Oh!. Basically, Daisuke is depressed after loosing Dark and moves to Domino in order to escape from the painful memories of his time spent with Dark. His mom (Emiko for those who can't remember), insists that he go into 10th grade, since (according to her) 9th grade is too easy. While on Yugi's side, he just recently lost Atem (Pharaoh) and is still grieving over it. And that's where the story begins. Why should you listen to me rant though? Read it and (of course) enjoy!

"It was cold. The darkness seemed to swallow all hope...that was when I met you. You helped me through the hardest years of my life. You've shown me the truth, and made so many people happy. Please, don't go. You've made me complete, whole, without you there is a gaping hole in my soul. Please, Please! DON'T GOOOO…"
Yugi Motou sat up in his bed, looking around. He felt sweat dripping down his face, his eyes almost in tears. Memories seemed to fly before his eyes, he saw the Final Battle playing out in his head. He grasped his neck where the Puzzle chain used to be, but to no avail. His hand clutched air. Yugi felt tears dripping down his face, unable to control their fury. Yugi walked over to the window, and looked out at the city, wondering if anybody else out there could understand what he was feeling.

"I never thought I'd miss you. I thought you were a pain. I thought you were a perv. But I was wrong. You've been dubbed the PHANOM THEIF, but you've saved so many. I didn't want to kiss Riku. But I did. Now you're gone. For good."
Daisuke Niwa was looking out the window, thinking about how his life had changed. He had lost his other half, the more daring and fear-less half. The half that, to Daisuke, had mattered the most. Daisuke felt lost, Dark was always there to guide him. Dark would help Daisuke through anything, but now he wasn't there when he needed him most. Daisuke looked at his desk, the Domino High uniform draped over his chair. He had moved away from his hometown, his life, just hoping to escape the memories. He wanted to forget it all, and maybe, just maybe, Dark would return. Daisuke knew in his heart that it was impossible, that it would never work, but he wanted to believe. He wanted to believe that Dark was out there, waiting for him, waiting for them to be reunited. Daisuke looked at his watch: 12:00 AM. The time they had stolen so many works of art together, the time when Daisuke always needed him the most. Daisuke felt a tear trickle down his cheek. Then another. Daisuke slumped on the floor, his head up against the wall. Daisuke knew it was wrong, but his heart was pouring out, letting out all of the stress that he had undergone for the past few weeks, alone. He cried long into the night, until his tears finally slowed and laid him into a dreamless sleep.

Yugi Motou woke up that morning with a different attitude. He had (purposely) forgotten all of his sorrows, and was back to his usual goofy self. He followed his normal routine: got changed, brushed his teeth, then put on his deck belt and reached for the Puzzle. But it wasn't there, only a sad feeling of nothingness for poor Yugi. Yugi felt the tears urging up inside of him, but quickly put them aside as he darted off to school.

Yugi ran in just after the bell rang. He quickly sat down just as the teacher entered the room with a boy. Yugi stared at the boy; his eyes seemed to hold great sadness. Yugi felt a jolt of pain go through his heart. This boy was going through the same kind of pain he was.
"Hello class." The teacher said, as the class muttered a "Good morning Sensei" back, some students not talking at all. "I have great news class, today we have a new student joining our community. Please welcome Niwa Daisuke!" Daisuke looked up, as if he had been in a deep sleep. Daisuke looked around the classroom, confused. "Mr. Niwa," the teacher said, "would you please be so kind and write your name on the board?" Daisuke nodded a yes, as he picked up the chalk and wrote the characters on the board. They appeared very sloppy, for a boy his age. "Thank you Mr. Niwa, now if you would please." The teacher gestured for the students to stop talking. "As it is a custom at Domino High, we will buddy our new student up with another until he learns how things work here." The class groaned, no one like the buddy system. Most students just showed their "buddy" where the bathrooms and the water fountains were, and stopped. Yugi thought for a second. Maybe, just maybe, if I become friends, he can help me!
Yugi's hand shot up in the air. "Yes, Mr. Motou?" the teacher asked.
Yugi stood up. "I would like to volunteer to be the buddy sir." Yugi said as students gasped. Yugi felt a tug on his shoulder, causing him to fall back a bit.
"Yugi," it was his friend Jonouchi. "Think about this! You're making a mistake! No one likes to be Mr. Buddy, not even Anzu!" Yugi ignored his friend. His heart begged him to do so, and Yugi's heart never let him down. Yugi struggled to break free of Jonouchi's grip as the teacher continued on.
"Well, Mr. Motou, if you really want to…" The teacher paused for a moment. "Fine. Its settled then. Mr. Niwa, if you would please take the seat next to Mr. Motou." Daisuke took the seat where Jonouchi was sitting, forcing him to stand up. "As for you Mr. Katsuya," Jonouchi froze. "I'd like to see you. After class."
"Damn it!" Jonouchi swore as he moved to sit down in the back of the room, cursing all the way.

The lunch bell rang, as the rest of Yugi's class stormed out of the room. Yugi told Jonouchi and Honda that he'd meet them outside. Yugi decided that he would now talk to Daisuke about his problem.
"So, Niwa-kun…" Yugi began.
"Uh, its Daisuke, I don't really like to be called by my last name…" Daisuke looked out the window.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Yugi apologized right away. "Daisuke, I was wondering, why do you look so sad?" Daisuke froze. Damn, I must have offended him! Think Yugi-kun think! "I mean, its ok if you don't wanna talk about it! We can talk about something else, like…um…uh…"
"Its ok." Daisuke turned and smiled at Yugi. "I just lost someone, very important to me…" Daisuke's eyes seemed to be looking far off. "You could say they were a part of me, we were really close." Daisuke smiled at Yugi. "If you can believe me, that is…"
"Don't worry, I understand. Lets just say I've been through the same thing…" Yugi said, remembering Atemu and how he and Yugi had been the best of friends.

Yugi took Daisuke outside, saying the weather was too warm to stay inside and eat. "Who wants to spend more time in school anyways?" Yugi said, as him and Daisuke were slipping on their sneakers. When they finally made it outside, Yugi quickly located Jonouchi sitting with Anzu, along with Honda and Otogi.
"Hey Yugi," Jonouchi said as they approached the table. Jonouchi was sitting on top of the monkey bars, while everybody else was sensible to use the table.
"Aren't you a little too old for the monkey bars, Jonouchi-kun?" Otogi said, giving Jonouchi a kiddish glare.
"Shut it!" Jonouchi hopped off, landing on the ground almost right on top of Otogi. Jonouchi grabbed Otogi by the collar and yanked him off the ground. "If you ever, ever say that again I outta…"
"Jonouchi!" Anzu stood up and slapped Jonouchi on the head, causing him to drop his hostage. "Behaive! We do have a guest!" Anzu said, referencing to Daisuke.
"Don't worry about me!" Daisuke said, suddenly forgetting his problems and becoming his usual, happy self. "I'm just here to make new friends, that's all. Really! I don't mind!"
"That's a relief…" Jonouchi said under his breath.
"So, Niwa-kun," Anzu said.
"Its Daisuke."
"Daisuke, why did you choose to come here?" Anzu asked, as Daisuke seemed to freeze again. This time it wasn't from the memories of Dark, it was from Riku. Something in Daisuke's heart seemed to like Anzu, and he couldn't help but notice the similarities. For one brief second, Daisuke panicked at the fact that he would turn into Dark and expose himself right there and then. "Oh, did I say something bad, sorry…" Anzu said, as Daisuke remembered that Dark was gone, for good.
"Its ok!" Daisuke gave his best smile, trying to tell Anzu that nothing was wrong, but in reality everything was. "I just had to move because my old home brought back bad memories, about a friend…that's all."
"Oh," Anzu looked sad, as if her deep blue eyes were about to cry. Daisuke felt himself blush again. "I'm sorry…"
"Speaking of lost friends," Jonouchi butted in, as Anzu got a look of horror on her face. "I was wondering Yugi, how are you dealing with the loss of…" Anzu slapped Jonouchi.
"DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT!" Anzu screamed, reminding Jonouchi that it still bothered Yugi greatly that he lost his other half, even though it was almost a month before.
"No, its ok…" Yugi said, staring off into space. "It gets kind of lonely, but I'm here so I guess that's all that matters…" Yugi recalled how as they were leaving the cave how it started to cave in, putting them all in danger.
Just as they were done talking, the bell rang telling everybody to go back to class, to Jonouchi's dismay.
"Shit! I didn't eat lunch!"
"Well," Honda said, "Maybe if someone wasn't too busy being monkey boy they could have been smart and eaten!" Honda started to run.
"You get back here you bastard!" Jonouchi screamed, chasing after Honda as they all ran inside.

So, did you like it? I know it's a crummy ending, but I couldn't think of anywhere else to cut it off. I'll try to update soon, but that's only if you read + review (which me being happy!)
