"...are you shocked? My wings are such an ugly colour." Bakura said in a bitter tone.

"Why?" Yugi began and Bakura waited for him to continue on, "Why did you take off your shirt?"

"Eh?" Bakura expected the boy to throw harsh words at him or at least pity him like others.

Yugi slightly frowned, "You do know even if you wore your shirt, your wings would still appear."

Bakura rubbed the back of his head, "Err...I thought you'd see better if I took my shirt off..." He replied sheepishly.

"Your wings are so big, they're visible no matter what! Quick put on a shirt!"

"Eh? Then, I'll I have to gather my wings..." Bakura mumbled.

Yugi wanted to smack himself on the face, "Then hurry and gather them up!" Yugi watched as the white haired male gather his wings and pick up the fallen shirt on the floor, "Button your buttons well too..." Yugi added and sighed to himself, "Shocked me...taking his shirt off all a sudden was..." Yugi shook his head, "He just wanted to show his wings off to me."

"Oh yeah..." Bakura clears his throat, "Then...after seeing my wings, you don't feel anything...?"

Yugi blinked his eyes, "Huh?" Not getting where Bakura was heading too.

"I mean...that...isn't the colour of my wings strange?" Yugi looks confusedly at him and Bakura drops to the floor giving up. This boy was hopeless.

"Did I do something wrong?" Yugi asked and Bakura laughed sitting beside him on the bed.

"After talking to you like this, I don't feel like I mind the colour of my wings too much anymore..." Bakura smiled.

Yugi looks sadly at the boy beside him, "...you don't like the colour of your wings?"

"...because the adults used to gossip about them..." Bakura answering starring off into spaces, "Especially those from the black-winged family..."

Miho collapsed onto the floor beside Anzu, "Ugh...can't stand it..."

"Wait...up!" Anzu screamed at Yami who was about to walk away, "Since you've won, why don't you kill us before leaving!"

"...troublesome woman." Yami replied back which ticks her off.

"Enough, Anzu. He's too strong, you should give up." Miho said in an exhausted voice, trying to calm her furious friend.

"NONSENSE! BAKURA IS STRONGER THAN HE IS!"

"...Bakura? The student body president of Hyakki academy?" Yami questioned.

Anzu smirked as she sat up, "That's right, He's the strongest crow around here." She sighed, "...it's just that he's a crow with grey wings..."

"Look! The colour on his wings is so ugly!"

"Like a dirty rag."

"IT STINKS!"

"Bakura the rag!"

"...but, the ones who said that have been beaten by me." Bakura had his eyes closed as he explains his past to Yugi who was feeling sad and angry at the same time, "No matter how much I fought, their mockeries never ended..."

"This boy is so uncouth!" A punch was thrown at his face but he continued, "Look at his wild wings! Dirty and smelly..." Another blow to his stomach.

"No such thing, Bakura's wings are beautiful." His mother comforted the small crying boy in her lap, "Maybe you're the descendant of the white crow." His mother smiled running her fingers through his hair, "The legendary white crow is the most beautiful and strongest creature in this world..."

"Is there even such being on earth?" Chibi Bakura thought not feeling convince of his mother's words.

"But, seems that the legend is not false. There really is a white crow..." Bakura smiled at Yugi, "I'm glad that I met you."

"...that's why, because of the fact that Bakura is very persistent regarding the white crow." Anzu explained not knowing Yami's mouth was tightening, "I believe by now, that boy has already been..."

"Do you want me to stab you to death?" Yami said in a scary threatening voice, his dangerous red eyes boring into hers making her flinched and he walks off.

Anzu's heart went thumping madly.

"Congratulation on not being stabbed by him." Miho said in 'I told you so' tone, "That's why I told you to leave such a strong guy to me."

"Yeah." Anzu answered in a soft voice a blush creeping up her cheek, "Why is my heart beating so fast?" She wondered.

Miho sighed dreamily, "I yearn to be loved by such a strong man, too!"

"WHAT!" Anzu's heart was still beating fast.

"Didn't you see how much he treasures that Yugi boy? He even rushed to his rescue." Miho replied dreamily, "Even if Bakura treats us tenderly, it feels different. I want him to treasure me alone."

Anzu thought about what her friend had said, "...treasure you alone?"

Miho nodded her head, "Yup! Don't you wish to own...your very own prince charming?" An image of Yami holding her close to his chest floats through Anzu's mind. "Why are you blushing for?" Miho asked her friend who shook her head and determination was seen in her eyes,

"No...matter what! Yami has an obligation to care for me!" She announced.

"Huh? Why?"

"Oh...that means you are a mix of crow and a human?" Bakura asked and Yugi nodded his head as they sat on the bed learning things about each other.

"Yeah...I only found out recently. My wings appeared a while ago too."

"I see, so that's it..."

Yugi suddenly sat up, "That's why...I think that I'm not the white crow that you are looking for..." He looks down shamefully, "Sorry..."

Bakura was shocked, "...why are you apologising?"

Yugi turns away embarrassingly, "Because I don't match that description at all your mother had described." He looked at his wings, "Even though they're wings, I can't fly with them!"

"Haven't I told you?" Bakura grinned leaning closer to the boy, "You are cute enough this way."

The door slammed open, "YUGI!" Yami shouted and was shocked at what he was seeing. Firstly a big bed looking messy. Secondly the boy is close to his little one. Lastly, the boy is in a bad position. His eyes darken, "I'LL KILL YOU...!"

"Yami!" Yugi cried out his name.

Bakura grinned, "Ohh, you are the son of that Atemu family?" Yami stiffen, "As expected from a crow of prestigious origin, what beautiful wings. Such a shiny jet black..." Bakura stepped closer him, "Just that...keep this in mind, your wings are only spread during emergencies." His mouth was close to Yami's ear, "Especially when facing someone stronger than you, it's better to think twice." He whispered dangerous low before he took a step away, " This is the secret to long life, young master."

Yami stared at the stranger in front of him, "This person...is strong...maybe even stronger than me...but if this goes on, Yugi..." His thought were interrupted when Yugi's grabbed his arms and waved to Bakura.

"See you, Bakura!" Yugi smiled brightly, "I'm going first!"

"WHAT!" Bakura pouted, "Don't go! Stay a little longer!"

Yami's face went blank, "What conversation is this...?"

Yugi yawned, "Hmm...but I'm very tired right now." He turns to Yami, "Yami let me tell you, Bakura's wings are grey in colour." He announced, "That's why he was often bullied when young."

"LITTLE BOY! WHO SAID YOU COULD TELL HIM THAT?"

"It's good enough to have wings." Yami said and Yugi nodded agreeing with Yami's statement. Bakura was confused on what these two were on about.

Yugi grinned at Bakura, "Yami's wings only appeared some time after his birth."

Bakura was utterly shocked. To explain: Amongst the crows, a wingless crow is completely looked down upon-the lowest of the low.

"Ah! This is for you Bakura." Yugi shut his eyes as he plucked a white feather out of his white wing.

"WHAT!" Both Yami and Bakura shouted not believing what they were seeing.

"Here, it's for you." Yugi handed Bakura the feather, "Didn't you wish for a white crow's feather? If you don't mind that is..." Referring to his small feather.

"WHA? HOW COULD I ACCEPT SUCH A PRICELESS GIFT!" Bakura's jaw dropped.

"That's right, Yugi!" That's too reckless..." Yami frowned not believing his little one would do it.

Yugi shook his head, "No way. I'm giving this to Bakura. It may not be the genuine one, but I heard that if you have one, your wish will come true." Yugi grinned at the stun boy, "I like your wings. They're so cool...they match you well. I'm going then, see you!"

A few minutes later the door was opened, "Ah! No way? Yami is gone...?" Anzu asked sadden at the thought.

Bakura raised one of his eyebrow, "What? Now you want that guy?"

Anzu waved her hands around, "Ah? No...I just thought he wasn't that bad." She explained and frowned to herself, "As I thought! Bakura can't be my one and only prince..."

"What's her relationship with that boy?" Miho suspiciously thought watching her friend muttering to herself. Her gaze was switched to the object in Bakura's hand, "Ah! Isn't that the white crow's feather!"

Anzu clapped her hands, "All right! Let's make a wish!"

Flames erupted from feather and Bakura laughed.

"I haven't made my wish yet!" Miho pouted.

Anzu stared unbelievably at the laughing Bakura, "What's so funny!" How could you burn such a priceless thing..."

Bakura smirked, "I have already made my wish."

Yugi looks worriedly at Yami, "Yami looks angry..." He wonder what could have cause Yami looking like he wanted to murder someone.

"Why did you give your feather to him?" Yami wondered not looking at his little one.

Monkey: Enjoy. You guys will probably learn the realtionship Anzu have with Yami in the next chapter? xD And to why Yami being piss of at Yugi for giving Bakura one of his feather. Off to bed now before my mom kills me ^^"
