Wishes Do Come True

Yugi looked to Yami, who nodded, before he made his wish. Although Yugi made the wish, both he and Yami collapsed to their knees because of the link they shared. Through the pain, Yami looked up to see Yugi's shirt rip as violet wings emerged. Yugi collapsed, laying face down on the floor as the pain vanished. Yami crawled over to Yugi and rolled him onto his side to see the exhaustion in his face.

"Yugi, you did it! You have wings! They're definitely not angel's wings though; they're too wide and too long."

"Yami, I'm really tired; I didn't expect the wings to take so much of my energy when they came out."

"You can go ahead and sleep aibou; it's after 10:30." Yami said while picking Yugi up and placing him on the bed before tucking him in.

Yugi fell asleep immediately, with his wings still out. He was too tired to even think about trying to return them into his back. Yami smiled as he watched his light sleep peacefully before he too went to bed. The next day, Yugi woke up to see Yami looking at him.

"Yami, What is it?"

"Today we begin your flight training aibou. I've been keeping a little secret from you for a while now and I think it's time to reveal it."

Yugi stared wide-eyed as he saw dark red wings extending from Yami's back. Then Yugi jumped out of bed and ran up to Yami.

"Exactly how long have you been keeping this from me?" Yugi asked curiously while circling around Yami.

"Uh, ever since you first got the puzzle… Yugi, would you stop circling me, you're making me dizzy!"

"Oh, he he sorry."

Yugi stood in front of Yami waiting for instructions. Yami first decided that he should show Yugi how to pull his wings back in since he didn't want to do the flight training until they were behind Kaiba's mansion where no one would see them. With much effort Yugi finally succeeded and watched as Yami brought his wings back within him smoothly, by simply relaxing his back muscles.

They got to Kaiba's and knocked on the door only to have a servant answer the door and tell them that Kaiba and Krista were in back working on flight training. The servant led them to the back door and then returned to his duties. Krista saw them from the air and glided down leaving Seto to fall from the two feet that he managed to gain, and land on his butt.

"Oops, sorry Seto." Krista said as she turned around and helped him up.

"Can he return his wings into his back yet?" Yami asked.

"Yes, I taught him that first." Krista answered.

"Same with me and Yugi." Yami stated, earning confused looks from Krista and Seto.

Yami brought out his wings to help ease the confusion, and they understood.

"How long have you had your wings?" Krista asked.

"Ever since I was pharaoh." Yami answered.

"What did you mean when you said 'same as me and Yugi'?" Krista asked.

Yami looked to Yugi who brought out his wings to show everyone. But before any questions could be asked, Yugi explained how he wished for them last night and how his wish came true. Yugi also mentioned how it hurt like hell which earned him a surprised look from Yami and the others.

//Aibou, I've never heard you use that kind of language before. //

/He he, it slipped? /

//Yugi???//

/Alright, alright; being beat up by bullies most your life; you learn a few dirty words. /

//What other naughty words do you use behind my back?!//

/Yami!! I'm not going to list them off for you!!/

//Why not, Bakura has no trouble cussing whenever he feels like it. //

/One, I don't feel like cussing; and two, I'm not Bakura! /

//Fine, but you'll tell me eventually right? //

/Yeah, Yeah, sure. When I damn well feel like it! /

"Helloooo, uh, guys?" Krista's voice broke their through conversation.

"Wha-what, I'm sorry, what were you saying?" Yami asked.

"I was asking if you're going to follow us into the kitchen for lunch." Krista said sighing.

"Not until I fly at least two feet off the ground!" Yugi stated firmly.

Yami picked Yugi up two feet off the ground and said,

"There, now let's eat!"

"Yami! That wasn't me flying, that was you picking me up and holding me two feet off the ground!" Yugi yelled angrily while folding his arms over his chest.
"Fine, you two go eat, I'll stay out and help Yugi to fly for a few minutes." Yami said.

Yami showed Yugi how to move his wings to get airborne and how to work with the air currents. Once Yugi was at least two stories high, Yami called to him to come down.

"Okay Yugi, time to go eat!"

Yugi remained in the air, ignoring Yami's request.

"Yugi! Don't make me come up there!"

Yugi still ignored Yami, that is, until Yami flew up and used a spell to clamp his wings together and brought him down to the ground.

"Yugi, you said two feet, not two stories!"

"So I fibbed a little." Yugi said calmly while shrugging his shoulders.

"Don't make me clip your wings!!"

"Okay, fine, now can you remove your little spell, my wings are starting to hurt."

Yami did as asked and they went in to eat lunch.

"What took you so long?" Krista asked.

"Yugi decided to go two stories instead of two feet." Yami replied, glaring at Yugi who grinned sheepishly.

Krista and Seto laughed, and then they heard a knock on the door. Seto went and answered it to find that it was Bakura and Ryou. Ryou walked in and his mouth dropped when he saw Yugi and Yami with wings.

"Did you both make a wish or something?!" Bakura asked shocked.

"No, Yugi made a wish last night and I've had mine since I was pharaoh." Yami answered.

"I never saw you with wings when we were in Egypt!" Bakura yelled.

"No duh tomb robber, you were too busy thieving to care!" Yami snapped at him which shut Bakura up then and there.

Ryou then decided to himself that he'd make a wish for him and his yami. Once they were in the living room, Ryou made sure there was plenty of room and mentally made his wish.

'I wish my yami and I had wings.'

As soon as Ryou ended the thought, Bakura collapsed to his knees looking at Ryou who had already been on the floor and simultaneously, wings came out of both their backs. Ryou collapsed even further to the floor until he was laying on his side in exhaustion. Bakura crawled over to him and asked him if he knew what had happened.

"I kinda wished for both you and me to have wings." Ryou said shyly and weakly.

"What the hell did you do that for?!" Bakura yelled, but it was no use because Ryou had fallen asleep as soon as he finished explaining what he did.

"Now what?!" Bakura asked angrily.

"Now you need to learn how to pull your wings back within you again, and how to fly." Yami answered simply.

Bakura glared at Yami and then realized that he too was tired and fell asleep next to Ryou.

"I'd think the tomb robber would be stronger than that." Yami stated.

"Yami, it is very exhausting to anyone who brings out their wings. When I was in Pegasus' castle, I could barely stand after my wings emerged. I didn't sleep until I got shocked by an electric barrier, flew over it, and collapsed at Seto's feet." Krista explained.

"What I don't understand is the strange coloring of our friends' wings. Seto's are dark blue, Yugi's are violet, Ryou's are light blue, and Bakura's are dark teal. Then there are mine, which are dark red and yours, which are white." Yami wondered aloud.

"I don't understand the coloring myself; but I must say that the colors chosen really do suit us." Krista responded.

"Guys, I hate to break this up, but the ball is tonight and we all have to be there." Seto broke in.

"Oh my god, what time is it?!" Krista asked in a panic.

"Don't worry it's only 3:00 p.m. the ball isn't until 7:00p.m." Seto answered.

"Whew, but I still need to go and get ready." Krista explained as she stood up to leave.

"Wait Krista, Yami and I have to come too if you're to get into the game shop." Yugi stated.

"Actually, I'm going to Mai's to get ready." Krista said while pulling her wings back within her.

"I'll pick you up at 6:30!" Seto called after her as she went out the door.

4:00 rolled around and Bakura and Ryou had woken up.

"Okay tomb robber, now it's time to teach you how to pull your wings back." Yami said.

"I don't have to listen to you pharaoh!" Bakura yelled.

"Ryou's already out back with Yugi learning how to pull his in." Yami stated.

Bakura grumbled but decided that he better learn how to conceal his wings if he planned on going to the ball. After a half hour Bakura and Ryou had succeeded in pulling their wings in and were getting ready for the ball. Joey stopped by already dressed in his white tux for the ball and waited patiently for the others to get ready. Bakura wore a dark blue tuxedo while Ryou's was light blue. Seto's was black while Yugi wore white and Yami wore blue. All six men were very well groomed and looked very handsome.

At Mai's house, Krista was nearly ready as was Mai. Mai wore a light lavender sleeveless gown while Krista wore the shimmering silver gown that she saw when they were shopping. Seto arrived at exactly 6:30 to pick them up. Joey and Seto got out of the limo and walked up to Mai's door. Mai answered and Joey offered his arm to escort her to the limo while Krista walked down the stairs and took Seto's arm allowing him to escort her to his limo, after she closed the door to Mai's house. Before Krista stepped into the limo, Seto said,

"You look beautiful tonight." Krista blushed and got in the limo.

They arrived at Kaiba Corp. five minutes later with Joey and Seto escorting Mai and Krista into the building; the others following close behind. The night wore on and each of the guys that didn't have a date was asked by at least one girl to dance. Around 9:50, ten robed men crashed the party and surrounded the group consisting of Yami, Yugi, Ryou, Bakura, Seto, Krista, Joey, and Mai. This time Malik came with his men to make sure the job was done right. Everyone that wasn't surrounded, which was all of the other guests, ran out of the building in a panic. Krista told her friends to give her some room before she brought out her wings and took flight. Yami, Yugi, and Seto soon followed.

Yugi picked up Ryou while Yami picked up Bakura and they were told to bring out their wings. Bakura and Ryou were given a quick explanation of how to move their wings and how to work with the air currents before they were let go to try using their wings. It didn't take long for Bakura and Ryou to get used to using their wings and they were soon flying along side Yami, Krista, Yugi, and Seto. Malik cursed as he looked up at the group realizing that there was no way he could reach any of them now. Then he spied Mai and Joey and ordered two of his men to grab them. Krista was angered at this and picked up the man that held Mai who brought Mai into the air with him. Krista grabbed Mai's wrist and dropped the man that once was holding her. Yami followed her example and freed Joey from the other man's grasp.

"Mai, I want you to wish for wings." Krista whispered to her.

"What good will that do?" Mai asked.

"You'll be able to rely on yourself and fly on your own instead of worrying about me dropping you." Krista explained.

Yami told Joe basically the same thing and both Joey and Mai made their wishes. White wings emerged from Joey's back while lavender wings came from Mai's back. Like Bakura and Ryou, they were both given brief explanations on how the wings worked and were dropped. Joe and Mai, like Bakura and Ryou, were quick learners and were soon flying with the others as well. Krista flew just a few feet out of Malik's reach and said,

"I warned you not to threaten my friends, and you didn't listen, now two of your men are dead."

"I will get you, one way or another!" Malik said angrily.

"You're welcome to try." Krista dared him.

Malik brought out a bow and arrow and shot through one of Krista's wings causing it to bleed, and Krista cried out in pain. She had to try very hard to stay in the air. It was no use, she started falling towards Malik when Seto caught her by the wrist and held her, pulling her further into the air with him pulling her into his arms so that she wasn't straining her good wing.

"I know of two more people I can go after to get you to come to me!" Malik shouted, heading out the door.
