Aisha: Hello everyone! I truly meant to update sooner, but
it’s been a really busy weekywayyway, same old here, read and review. Hey,
Bakura might actually be in this chapter!! Maybe. ^_^;

 

 

Thanks To:

 

AngelsKitten:
^_^!!!!!!!!! I liked that review ^_^
I’m glad you like it. Sorry this took a bit longer to get up.

 

dragoneyes: Yay!
You like it! I’m just surprised that people have reviewed this thing.
Personally I thought that the whole heaven/angel idea was kinda over used, but
if you like it far be it from me to stop typing! ^_^!!!!

 

Dreamchaser149: You
came back? Wow, most people don’t come ‘round again after reading one of my
stories! I’m glad you like it that makes me really happy! Sorry it’s so short,
‘fraid that most chapters will be like that. Well I hope you like this chapter!
^_~

 

Promise: YAY MY
STORY IS CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

 

Tu vexas me?: I’d
really like to thank you for pointing these things out for me. I try to proof
read, but I usually type at night, so I’m tired. The whole ‘whoa’ instead of woe
wasn’t my fault, my computer is seriously ill and kept changing it, but it
seems to be better now. ‘Scene’ was completely my fault, it was late, I wasn’t
wearing my glasses and I was typing to fast. Ah yes I always get than and than
mixed up, but I think I have it straight now. Don’t worry the only original
character is Adara and she won’t be around for too much longer. Don Don’t worry
I don’t really plan on using any Japanese phrases, I was simply curious. Once
again, thank you very much, and I will try to improve.

 

Shenya: o_O
Pinch me! Your one of my favorite authors! Wow this is too weird. I’m surprised
I even got reviewed let alone from authors I like. Anyway I’m glad you think
this is interesting, it’s very encouraging.

 

firedragon97: o_O
Wow, you like this too? You’re one of my favorite ors ors as well! ^_^ Yes it
seems little Ryou’s in a bit of a spot, eh? Trust me it just gets more
interesting from here. Just wait until the millennium items come into play. I
figure I’m using the millennium ring like no one has before….. but that’s not
for a while yet. ^_^ I’m getting ahead of myself again.

 

 

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Wish I
did, like you do, but let’s face it, it’s never gonna happen.

Chapter2: Good Morning Sunshine!

 

 

Once school was
out I quickly ran home, not wanting to encounter any bullies on the way. Luck
seemed to be with me, as I managed to make it home without a single run-in.
Walking into my small apartment I set down my bag, and kicked off my shoes
before making my way over to my data bank, much like one of your computers.
‘Twould be folly to run into this project blindly, a little research was in
order. Typing in my student pin number (24601) I accessed any data bank with
information on this Bakura fellow.

 

Four cups of coffee and an equal
number of hours later, all I seemed to have found out about this guy was that
he was in detention just about every day for picking on other students and not
listening to his teachers. Oddly enough though, he seemed to have som the the
top grades in his class. I found that slightlyfusifusing, because all the
bullies I had met were rather thick, to say the least (Who ever said he was was
perfect?) I certainly seemed to have my work cut out for me; there was hardly
any information to work with. ‘I’ll just have to be careful and make sure to
use my protection spell,’ I thought. (Ah protection spells; you’re probably
wondering what it does. Well, quite literally, it protects angels by
surrounding us with a shield that prevents anyone from touching us, and,
depending on the strength of the caster, it can also make an angel invisible.)
I was prevented from finding any further data by a soft knock on my door.
‘Probably Yugi,’ I thought while making my way over to answer it.

 

Indeed, I had been correct. The
short tri-color haired teen stood in the hallway, his puffy white wings
spread out gracefully behind him (I try not to be jealous, for it’s not very
becoming of an angel, but I can’t help be a tad bitter in private). “Hope I’m
not interrupting anything important,” he spoke timidly. Yugi, though somewhat
shy, only used thate ofe of voice near friends when he was having trouble with
bullies or trouble at home.

 

“Not at all Yugi. Please come
in,” I beckoned, ever the gracious host. He took a seat on my small torn up
couch. I left him alone for a few minutes, returning with warm coffees for the
both of us, taking a seat opposite him in an old recliner. “What’s wrong Yugi?”
I asked after watching him fidget with his mug for a few minutes.

 

Sighing, he replied, “I’m
nervous.”

 

I waited.

 

And waited.

 

And waited, until it was quite
apparent that he wasn’t going to say anything else without persuasion. “About
the project?” I finally supplied.

 

“Yeah, I mean I’ve never been to
Earth before. You and I both know how weak my protection spells are, and to be
perfectly honest humans are just plain frightening!”

 

This took me by surprise. Never
before had Yugi expressed a fear in mortals. “Why is that, Yugi? There just like
us, minus the wings and power.”

 

“That’s just it,” he whimpered,
“Humans will do anything for power, kill us in the blink of an eye if they
thought it would bring them power! And another thing, could you imagine what it
would be like if we were seen? It’s not like we could act nonchalant with these
wings sticking out of our backs! They’d probably beat us and then cut them
off!” Yugi ranted hysterically.

 

“You’ve been talking to your
older brother, haven’t you?”

 

“Well….. yeah,” he admitted,
slightly embarrassed at his outburst.

 

I shook my head amusedly, “Yugi,
you know that Ramos hardly ever tells you the truth, why should he start now,
especially when you seem to be so insecure about mortals?”

 

Yugi blinked a bit, then
laughed, (Though it sounded a bit strained) “I guess you’re right Ryou. I just
over reacted. (“I’ll say.”) Sorry I bugged you. I guess I’ll see you and Adara
tomorrow in town so we can go ominomino together.” With that said he got up and
excused himself, exiting my apartment with an oddly out of place giggle.

 

Smiling slightly at my friend’s
antics, I picked up the two empty mugs and took them to the kitchen to clean.
After a quick dinner, and an hour or so more of research I finally found a
picture of Bakura. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. This boy
looked just like me! His hair was quite a bit spikier, his skin a bit more tan,
and his eyes look cold and menacing, but other than that we could have passed
for twins. Glancing sideways at the clock I realized just how late it was.
Turning off the data bank I made my way to the bathroom for a quick shower,
then came back into the living room and undid the sofa turning into a bed (You
know, one of those folding sofa’s that your grandparents always seem to have)
and fell into a rather fitful sleep. Seems Yugi wasn’t the only one nervous
about going to Earth.

 

 

The next morning someone jumping
up and down on my sofa/bed rudely awakened me. Groaning I rolled over, hoping
in vein that I would knock over who ever it was that woke me up. I am not a morning person. “Oh no you don’t,” I heard a
muffled female voice say from somewhere above my pillow covered head. Quickly
my pillow was snatched away. Undeterred by this, as I hadn’t actually been
sleeping on it, I simply curled up under my covers. Soon enough
those too were taken away, leaving me shivering (It was the middle of February,
and even though I paid my rent, my heat refused to work) in my over-sized
nightshirt.

 

Sitting up I stared with half
hooded eyes at a laughing Yugi, and a grinning Adara who was holding out an
over-stuffed duffle bag, and some day clothes. ‘They seem to have taken the
liberty of packing for me,’ oughough groggily. Too tired to put up a fight I
accepted the clothes and made my way to the bathroom to change. Feeling much
more awake when I came out, I went to the kitchen to rummage up a quick
breakfast for myself.

 

My kitchen seemed to be lacking
in food, so I ended up with a bowl of Frosted Flakes. I hadn’t even been able
to take a single bite before Yugi pulled the bowl away from me looking rather
peeved. “You do realize that your milk is expired, right?” He asked.

 

“Uh-huh,” I replied
nonchalantly.

 

“How do you live like this
Ryou?!” Adara snapped sounding disgusted.

 

“Come again?” I asked blinking.

 

“Your apartment is three rooms
big, your heat isn’t working in the dead of winter, you sleep on a couch, your
kitchen is devoid of food, and what food is here has expired,” She screeched,
brandishing the milk carton.

 

“So, when do we leave?” I asked,
desperate to change the subject.

 

Adara and Yugi sighed, but didn’t
push the matter. “Now is as good a time as any, I suppose,” Yugi said, sounding
slightly worried as my stomach grumbled loudly.

 

“Here,” Adara said, chucking a
snickers bar at me as we walked out the front door, gear in toe. “I don’t want
to have to listen to Godzilla roaring the whole trip to Earth.”

 

Shaking my head, I but into the
candy bar while making sure my door was locked.
