AN: Yo! It's been a while since I updated this. Got a bunny, had to write it. I'm still working on chapter two of The Book Corner, it's about half done now though!

Anyway, hope you enjoy this! Oh also:

"Psychopomps are creatures, spirits, angels, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly-deceased souls to the afterlife."


Psychopomp

The wooden doors opened at midnight. Clichéd, perhaps, but every cliché is one for a reason. They appeared like lightning; fast, sharp, beautiful, deadly. To the blink of a human eye, they would also be gone in an instant, as if they had never been there to begin with.

Endless light shone from behind a figure as it hovered at the threshold, as if uncertain to step into the room. For a second the silhouetted form almost turned back; to be swallowed up by the light before steeling itself and stepping into the unlit room, the endless brightness not interfering with the darkness.

The black and white robes flowed around the creature, like ink and oil and water, all blending and separating from the form as if the indecision of the being was felt by the fabric.

The form seemed to breathe, stepping forward to the foot of the bed, staring at the young child as it slept.

The family had tried everything to save him, but it was just time. Yuugi had never felt worse in his entire existence. He closed his eyes, unsheathed his sword and thought that perhaps it would be easiest, for everyone, if he took the child when he was asleep.

Yuugi sat at the edge of the bed, tracing the child's feverish forehead and chest that was struggling for air with every breath. Gently, he tucked the bright shock of hair behind the child's ear before taking the hilt of his sword with his other hand.

"Time to go, Yami." He whispered into the child's ear before softly tapping the end of the hilt against the sweaty forehead.


AN: For once it's short! Kinda around the word count for once! Also, this wasn't meant to be a Bleach pseudo-crossover and it sort of isn't apart that it kinda is... yeah. Okay so Yami's not a spirit but... just roll with it, please? Anyway, this will be continued, just don't know when, hopefully soon!

Hope you liked it!
