Author's Note: The first chapter was about how Yugi and Daisuke met Atem and Dark so now this one is going to a more in-the-middle thing.
Disclaimer: I don't own either Yu-Gi-Oh or DNAngel and today I learned that writing disclaimers for crossover fics is even more annoying than just regular ones.
Their Lives and Their Fights
(Daisuke's POV)
Do you know how hard you made school for me after I met you?
Well it wasn't icing on top of a cake.
I became you when I thought too much about Risa.
But after I got over Risa, it happened with Riku too.
Some times were more spontaneous than others.
And the fact that you were the Phantom Thief didn't make it any easier.
We had to fight against difficult people;
Satoshi...
Saehara Sr...
Argentine...
And Krad...
He was our toughest opponent ever.
But he was also your other half;
Your dark half with white wings.
An interesting twist to the normal storyline about how the good angel has white wings...
And how the evil angel has black ones.
You certainly made life interesting to say the least.
Stealing artworks...
Avoiding a transformation into you when people were around...
Keeping your existence within me a secret...
All of it was frustrating and nerve-wracking at times.
But given the choice, I would do it all over again,
Because you were my dark alter ego...
My friend...
My older brother...
(Yugi's POV)
You scared me that day;
The day you called the attack on Kaiba at Duelist Kingdom to take his life.
I had feared you.
But Téa and Mai helped me learn to face you.
And ever since then, we've been there for each other.
My friends knew you were there.
But only I could see you there right beside me.
So many duels were fought.
So much was at stake all the time.
All those psychos who wanted to take over the world...
With either the God cards or the Millennium Items.
I remember them all and I'm sure you do too.
Pegasus was the first and then they just kept getting worse;
Noah, who trapped us in his virtual world, was the only one who didn't want to take over the world.
Marik's dark side was especially difficult...
Hanging in the air, I felt powerless to help you...
And all I could do was encourage you from behind as I watched you suffer.
Then we fought Dartz...
Well, that would be telling an untruth...
I wasn't there...
I heard you cry out my name...
And it broke my heart when I heard your plea...
Because I couldn't come to you when you needed me most.
And our final opponent;
Bakura...
We were separated from each other and you were alone again...
I reunited with you as soon as I could...
But then I was taken away from you...
And the next the thing I know...
The Millennium Puzzle was stolen from you and you were falling to your death...
We took separate quests and barely survived...
Zorc was destroying your kingdom and I was dueling Bakura...
It was my first duel without you and I won...
But only your name could save us both.
Saving the world isn't something I'd like to call a hobby...
But I enjoyed thinking about it afterward when everyone was safe.
And I actually felt like I had done something to make a difference.
And the bond that we shared only grew through that.
You were always more to me than just a spirit in an ancient artifact...
First you were my guardian and dark alter ego...
And then you became my friend.
But you were also my role model...
A father figure...
An older brother...
I realize that Yugi's part has been longer than Daisuke's part both times but what can I say? There were a whole lost more episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh then there were of DNAngel so I don't think it's surprising that Yugi has so much more to say than Daisuke. Only one more left.
