Even though I don't own the show, I still go to the under eighteens night at the local club with the cast!
Me: Sorry, sorry, sorry! This chapter took such a long time coming! But I was busy getting 'Through the tinted window' ready! It is now up and ready to R&R!
Joey: You may even be the first one to review it!
Yami: I've read her notes! Horrible things happen to me! Worse than in this story!
Joey: it's all right. It's alright.
Yami: No it isn't! It's, it's……
(Doom bikers enter through one door, walk across the room, picking Yami up as they go and then carry him kicking and screaming out of the other door).
Me: That was certainly odd…
Joey: Yep. Don't get too much of that…
Mellinde: What ended? You are confusing me! Thanks for the review. Me and spelling don't really get along.
Dark-Lady-Divinity: Thank you my dark lady! Tasty suspense! Hehehe! I like that! Like I said: not great at spelling.
Sabey: Helo0o0o0o0! Your right that 0o0o0 thing is co0o0o0l! Yay!! My friend! Thankies for the review! One of your guesses is right but I shall not say which one!
Ranchan11: Thank you! Hey! Another person who doesn't get along with spellings! Yay! I'm not sure if you were actually answering the question with what you said about Serena but if you were then you are bang on! Don't amputate Yugi you say? Don't amputate what off him? (Several images spring to mind. I'm pretty sure that you would not like your two children to see them!)
Me: well I suppose I should get on with the story now.
Seto: You do that!
Yami: (From another room) CHAAAAAAAAAN!! HEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEE! GET THESE STINKING BIKERS OFF ME!
Me: (Sigh) I really should go talk to them…… (Voice fades out)
Chapter 9
The Moto Miracle
Bakura's P.O.V.
"S-S- Serena!"
"Yes. It's me."
Yami's P.O.V.
It was just striking mid-night. Perfect. Placing my hands on Yugi's miniature, bruised, broken, shoulders, I shut my eyes tightly and concentrated hard. I didn't really realise that I was humming a low, drawn out, tuneless, note at the time. I heard a clock somewhere in the hospital stop striking half way through the first chime of mid-night. A smile passed over my face. I had done it.
I was so relieved that I actually let out a nervy little giggle. Opening my eyes my grin widened. The room had frozen in place along with everything in the entire hospital and maybe even the world. No matter how many times my angel explains this to me I still can't understand how stuff like time exists when you are in what my Nan used to call 'the dreaming'.
What I understand is something like when you enter the dreaming correctly, the rest of time freezes around you so that when you return to reality everything is still in the same millisecond that you left it. But nobody but the people in the dreaming and like deeply spiritual, psychic people notice anything. As it was, the only two people in the dreaming, apart from angels and wondering spirits were me and Yugi.
I instinctively reached for my millennium puzzle, only to remember that I had given it to Bakura so he could look after it while I was in the dreaming so mine and Yugi's presence there would be less notable to any evil spirits that I had banished to the shadow realm in case they wanted revenge. So that left only one thing to do……
"Angel! Are you there Angel?" nothing. I tried again.
"Angel! Are you there Angel?" still nothing! Third time lucky I told myself.
"Angel! Are you there Angel?" and it was lucky too!
Two figures stepped towards me out of the shadows. Not one, two. I recognised the first as being my angel straight away. Seeing me, she ran forwards and I allowed her to fling her arms around me and pull herself into my lap. Over her shoulder I could see her friend. He seemed to be about thirteen years old. His hair has light blond and styled in much the same way as Joey's is, only the angel boy's hair was styled slightly looser and hung in his face more, as well as being a great deal lighter in colour. I was so busy taking in the appearance of her friend that I, at first, did not realise that my angel was asking me a question. Or more over, several questions all one after the other.
"Are you alright Yami? Did you have another one of those dreams? Is that why you needed me? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." I sighed. "But he isn't." I said motioning towards Yugi's sleeping body. "That's why I needed you."
"I know he needs help, but do you need help?" her eyes were fixed on the open gash on my head.
"That's fine. It will only need a couple of stitches. I think I should get this one seen to normally. No, I need you to heal him."
"I am afraid that I can not do that Yami." my heart sunk. It felt like someone had stabbed me through the stomach. Kind of ironic when you think that I really have been stabbed in the stomach. But this was a different kind of pain. This was the kind of pain you get when you have been utterly defeated. My heart was breaking more and more for every second I sat there. But I didn't cry. My grief was far, far beyond tears.
"I can't heal your little brother…" repeated my angel. Yeah rub it in why don't you? "But he can!" I gasped in delighted surprise, my eyes lit up with jubilation. I had never been so glad to be wrong! My absolutely amazing angel was still talking.
"You see Yami; humans can only be healed by an angel, if that angel is their guardian angel. I am yours and he is Yugi's." I gasped in amazement. I turned to the boy who had now approached the bed.
"Your Yugi's guardian angel?" he nodded and continued to stroke Yugi's tiny, hand.
"Oh my gosh! I had no idea that Yugi had a guardian angel too!" my angel let out a light tinkling giggle that warmed my heart.
"Every animal in the universe has a guardian angel Yami. Even those who do not believe it. Even those who don't deserve it. They all have a guardian to watch over them and love them."
"Even a convicted mass-murderer waiting in his prison cell about to face the electric chair? I do not think that I could love someone like that." I shuddered at the very thought.
"But that is where humans and angels differ, Yami. To humans love exists but it is just any old feeling. I don't mean you don't mean it when you say 'I love you' to someone, but what I mean is that you also say things like 'I love my cat' or 'I love chocolate'. Angel love is not like that. To angels love is everywhere. It is in everything, it is everything. You don't have to deserve or believe in this love, but it is always available should you need it. Your guardian angel helps you acquire it." I couldn't believe how magical this all was. I was only a few steps away from pinching my self. This is really happening! My inner voice burbled. You are really sitting in the dreaming, in the company of angels discussing the purist kind of feeling that exists!
"But right now the one who needs love is Yugi." This was the first time I had heard Yugi's angel talk.
"That's right!" chipped in my angel. "You have to be the one to wake him up Yami." she added. I nodded and lent forwards to Yugi.
"Yugi? Can you hear me sweetie?" he showed no response, so I tenderly stroked his face with the back of my hand. "Yugi, you need to wake up now." He slowly opened both of his tired eyes.
"Yami?" he sounded panicked and worried.
"Yes Yugi. It's alright, I'm here." He suddenly flung his arms around my neck and cried into my shoulder.
"It's alright now Yugi."
"Oh Y-Yami!" he chocked out. "It w-was s-s-so h-horrible!"
"It's O.K. now Yugi! It's over! And I promise that I will never let anything like that happen to you ever again!" unless of coarse you are unconscious being cared for by Bakura! Then you won't even be able to take care of yourself let alone Yugi! My inner voice number 1 had a point. In that case I will have a little chat with Bakura and see what he can come up with! I liked my inner voice number 2 a lot better.
Whether it would actually be me or Bakura who was looking after him, Yugi seemed to have calmed down a bit. He moved back slightly but didn't let go of me. He was taking in our surroundings.
"Where are we Yami?"
"We are in the dreaming, like I was when my angel visited me. Do you remember me saying?" Yugi screwed up his face.
"I think so. God my head aches!" that's when he noticed the angels. "Who are they?"
"It's alright. She's my angel and he is yours."
"I have my own angel?" Yugi squeaked.
"Yes of coarse you do!" the look on his face was priceless.
"I'll explain it to you sometime, but right now your angel is going to heal you." I backed of with my angel and let her friend take over.
"Hello Yugi, how are you feeling?" He asked kindly.
"Numb." Said Yugi shortly. Yeah shortly is defiantly the word! Oh shut it!
"That will probably be the painkillers." I loved the way he was talking to Yugi. Friendly, but respectively, like he was not just some little kid. It's the way Seto Kaiba talks to Mokuba. I had to ask my angel something.
"Err angel will this hurt Yugi? Will it make him flat-line? Is he going to be O.K.?" I hissed out of the corner of my mouth.
"I'm afraid it will hurt a little and yes he will flat-line, but he will be just fine like you were." She replied in a whisper. Yugi gasped and I turned around to see his angel running his hands over Yugi's body. I was instantly by my Hikari's side.
"It will be alright Yugi. I swear it will." Yugi nodded and then collapsed backwards onto the pillows.
"Time to go back to reality Yami." Chorused the angels. I was snapped back to the hospital as the first stroke of mid-night finished sounding. The first thing I did was push the emergency button, and left the room, as doctors and nurses hurried into the room. I then went to get the puzzle back from Bakura.
I found him in the corridor and when I did, I gasped. Bakura was being pinned struggling against the vending machine by a figure holding a knife. Hearing me gasp, the attacker wheeled around to face me. When I saw their face, I gasped again. But that didn't stop me from rushing forwards to tackle them. I was just about to collide with Serena when she disappeared. I ended up with one hand either side of Bakura's head and our faces almost touching. We blushed scarlet when a nurse came out to see what all the noise was about and found us like that.
"Oh my good gosh! I am so sorry!" she gasped as we sprung apart.
"No we weren't……" but it was too late and she had already ducked back into the office.
"Err…… are you O.K. Bakura?" I said trying to hide my blush.
"I'm fine Yami."
Bakura's P.O.V.
You have no idea how good it felt to have you standing over me like that. I only wish it were really what I hopped it was!
-----
Yami's P.O.V.
The next day Yugi was recovering in the hospital room. The rest of the gang was there and halfway through the morning we had a very unexpected guest. Would you believe Seto Kaiba? He just came and knocked on the door. We couldn't understand what he might be doing there when we saw him! At first we were all just frozen in place; Yugi on the bed with his blankets pulled round him, me sitting on the edge of his bed holding his sore hand, the rest of the gang sitting in chairs around the room, Joey with his homework book and another book on his lap trying to finish the work in advance for a change, all of us facing the door with our mouths open! We managed to pull our selves out of our frozen in place shock to murmur a brief greeting to the C.E.O. who simply walked into the room followed by his little brother Mokuba.
He came over to the bed and gave Yugi a hug. Yes, you heard me! This is the incredible bit; he had bought both me and Yugi a box of chocolates each! He had been across the country in a different state (An: remember I set this in America.) a few days ago, and had only been back about twenty four hours when he heard about Yugi. He dropped everything to come and see him, but also somehow had found out about me getting hurt. I still don't think he entirely believes everything that happened with Pegasus (An: Have I spelt that right?) and Marick and Malik really happened. But we had to tell him about the guardian angel thing. He didn't seemed phased by this but then me and Bakura looked at each other with the same thought running through our heads.
Bakura's P.O.V.
We started using the telepathy we only usually used for Yami's dreams.
/ 'Kura, should we tell them about Serena ands my memory dreams and you getting attacked? /
/ No! If we are going to tell them that I was attacked last night we should say it was your demon stalker! /
/ Good idea! /
Yami's P.O.V.
So we told them that my demon stalker attacked Bakura. They were all a little confused.
"Why would Yami's demon stalker go after Bakura?" asked Tea. Ra she looks good in those clothes she's wearing this morning!
"I don't understand how a demon could find Bakura so easily." Wondered Tristan. Joey is surprisingly smart when he wants to be.
"Maybe she was like trackin' Bakura's presence or vibes or sometin' like that?" this seemed possible for both Serena and my demon stalker.
"I think you might be right Joey." Bakura agreed, shuddering at the idea. We all nodded our agreement and shuddered in unison at the thought that a sicko demon stalker could be monitoring our minds even as we sat there. All of us that is, except Seto Kaiba.
"You're wrong mutt." He stated.
"I'm not wrong. And I'm not a mutt!"
"Well your half wrong. And you are to a mutt." I snorted with laughter at this.
"What?" they both snapped.
"Nothing! Nothing at all!" but the truth was that they had just reminded me very strongly of another blonde and brunette who had much the same argument on a near daily basis.
"Anyway, what do ya mean 'half wrong'?" glared Joey.
"Well she was tracking something, but it was not Bakura!"
End Chapter
Me: And the cliffy is (Drum roll) what was 'the demon stalker'/ Serena tracking? The prize is a dedication and virtual roses! (Don't ask!)
Seto: I don't know but what I want to know is where Yami was when the doom bikers dragged him out of the room.
Me: I found him half buried in sand on a beech in France with the bikers dancing round him shouting the lines of the three witches from Macbeth. It's still a wonder to me how they crossed the channel.
Yami: (Mumbling into Chan's jacket) Trust me you don't want to know.
Joey: What did they do to him? Apart from kidnapping him, smuggling him into a foreign country and burying him in sand I mean.
Me: Nothing as far as I can tell. I took him to the hospital the second we got back and there was barely a scratch on him. But they defiantly did something to scare him and shake him up this much!
Joey: Hmm.
Seto: the mind boggles.
Me: on a totally unrelated topic, you know about darkshipping and puppyshipping and stuff like that? Well what do you call it when Raphael and Yami are together? Has that even been thought of before? Tell me in a review if you know!
Yami: (looking traumatized but innocent) and will at least one person R&R 'Trough the tinted window'? She is getting upset now that no one has reviewed it! It will make us both smile and send you virtual roses!
