"Kaiba, you've gotta help me, I don't know what to do." Came the panicked voice over the phone.
"Calm down, what is it?"
"Yuugi said that you had experience with his kind, that you were the only person on earth who might know what to do."
"Yuugi? His kind?"
"He said to mention Jonuichi."
"Oh god, that Yuugi? What's happened?"
"He was protecting…and he…" The voice on the phone was sobbing, Kaiba couldn't understand what it was saying.
"Where is he now?"
"Sleeping on the bed; it took me forever to get him down, he was in So much pain…"
"Is he…invisible?"
"Yeah." A sniffle
"Did he get blood on his wings?"
"Yeah." Another sniffle
"Whose?"
"His, and some of mine."
"This is bad…"
"What?"
"He's gotten the blood of an innocent on his wings."
"And this means?"
"He's falling."
"What?"
"Becoming a fallen."
"And this is?"
"Bad."
- - - - -
"What do you mean Yuugi's a fallen!"
"Sir, his wings have become stained with the blood of innocents."
"Yeah, His blood. He was protecting-"
"Sir, please; there's nothing we can do."
Jonuichi sighed and dismissed the man. "Damnit Yug." He sighed again. "Looks like I'll be paying Seto another visit."

"Hey, open the gate, I want to descend."
"Jonuichi!" He turned at the familiar voice to see Ryou and Malik running towards him.
"What is it?" he asked when they reached him.
"Yuugi he-" They began together
"I know. It's wrong, it was his own blood. It only got on his wings because he was protecting-"
"We want to descend with you!" Ryou and Malik interrupted at the same time.
"To see him." Ryou continued.
"Fine" Jonuichi relented.
"Gate's open" the young female guard yelled.
"Let's go boys!" Jonuichi led the way as they jumped through the gate, wings disappearing as they fell to earth.
