Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Bound By Our Simple Mistakes ❯ Angels on the Roof ( Chapter 4 )
Aisha: Hey all, I'm back just like every other week. I've actually been doing pretty good with updating this every seven days. Usually by now it would be two weeks to a month between updates, but you people are so nice and motivating, and this story is just so much fun…… all I can really say is that YOU PEOPLE ROCK THE CASBA!!!!!!! (Kate Tully I did it again! Me and my damn Chicago mouth!! I don't belong in New York with this kind of slang! ^_^;)
Thanks To:
firedraygon97: No problem I'm the queen of shameless plugging. Earth's gonna be fun (*Crosses Fingers* I hope) and some interesting stuff should happen. I think I'm gonna toy with the POV's and have some of them from Bakura and Yami's view. My original intention was simply to just have it done from Ryou and Yugi's POV.
Yeah Ryou does live like a bachelor, and I've finally come up with a good excuse why, but that's not until much later in the story.
Fluff? Oh yes, there shall be lots of fluff……. Sooner or later, *Grins* but Ryou and Bakura haven't even met yet! That'd be rushing it a bit. ^_^
Shenya: Thanks much, and I'm glad that you think this story is good (I don't have very much confidence in my writing abilities, too many bad experiences in the past have made sure to that.) Your right, nothing happened last chapter, it was really just a filler chapter from between school to when Ryou gets to Earth. It would have looked funny to skip that much time ^_^;
Sad thing is, I'm curious as to what I'll be doing this chapter as well. I've thought this chapter over quite a bit, and it can go one of several ways. *Sigh* It's sad how much this story is writing itself without letting me in on the details, really.
Bakura Twins: Sorry I've confused you; if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I'll answer anything to the best of my ability. ^_^ You love it? I think that's the first time I've ever been told that some one likes my work that wasn't a personal friend, who was probably lying just to be polite. ^_^ People like you make me sooooooo happy!!!!!!! *Does the Happy Dance*
Mad Psyentist/Korogi Nagisa: I'm glad you like. Yeah this is what happens when I read a magazine that has both Yu-Gi-Oh! and YuYu Hakusho in it. I thought I'd give Ryou and odd quirk, so he's officially not a morning person, I figure he's a night owl just because…. Well it works for my purposes (I'd tell you more, but that'd give away something really important.) I have an easier time typing in first person, not sure why, so I'm really glad you like it this way, cuz it would be hard to switch to third person.
Don't worry a lot of people seem to be having trouble with the name switching. You've got it, though. Ryou the angel is Ryou the hikari and Bakura the mortal is Yami Bakura.
Thank you for the words, by the by. My Japanese vocab. is slowly growing. I'll make sure to have Mokuba call Seto Nii-sama, I'm glad you told me that because no one else did. Happy reading!
dragoneyes: Don't worry Bakura will most definitely be in this chapter (Not for very much though… sorry). I just hope that I can keep him in character later on. He's so confusing, but so very fun to write about!
Dreamchaser149: Very perceptive, but there's a reason why he'll be able to see Ryou, but you won't find that out for a while yet. Cliffhangers are so much fun!
Yami Bakura Kia: I'm glad you like it. You have a picture of an angel Ryou? Really? Is it on your website?
Aisha: Here's just a question I want to ask all of you. Even though I don't know much about Malik and Marik, do you think I should put them into this story? I know enough to fit them in, and I truly wouldn't mind it either, so it's up to you. Just tell me in your review.
Disclaimer: I have the first three issues of the manga. That's it. Don't sue me, it wouldn't be very nice…… and uh, I'll give you a cookie if keep quiet! *Smiles* You can even pick what type of cookie you want. Now that's a deal!

Chapter3: Angels on the Roof
In the Upper Elements there are these teleporter machines that are usually used for trips to Earth. These machines turn your being into pure energy and basically shoot you down to the surface of the Earth looking for all the world like a bolt of lightning. I had thought that these would be our mode of transportation, and it possibly would have been if I had managed to crawl out of bed a bit earlier, but by the time we arrived there was already an impossibly long line. Mostly students from school taking the same test, and few harassed look field workers.
"This'll take forever!" Adara mumbled.
"Well these wings aren't just for decoration, you know," Yugi smiled. It was a well-known fact that Yugi was absolutely in love with flying.
"It's risky. We could be seen by someone," Adara, usually so care free, actually sounded worried.
"Do you want to stand here for the rest of the day?" I asked impatiently. Having skipped breakfast I was feeling a bit irritable, and wanted to be off as soon as possible.
"You too?" She asked astonished, I wasn't usually one to take risks.
"As long as we stay close to the cloud line there shouldn't be a problem," Yugi put in, sounding hopeful. I had to agree, and it was better than standing in line for hours on end. Adara sighed resignedly, and nodded her head in response. Just as it was well known that Yugi love flying, it was just as well known that Adara simply loathed it. No one quite knows why.
Each having our own styles of flight, we took off separately. Yugi slung his bag over his shoulder, extended his wings, and simply took off down through the cloud barrier separating Earth and the Upper Elements. His pace was fair, but his maneuvering abilities spoke of great skill. Adara looked sick as she pulled her bag on her shoulder taking off after Yugi. Her pace was much slower and her skill in flight was greatly limited due to the fact that even though Yugi was much shorter than her, his wings were longer.
I slung my bag over my shoulder, and flared out my wings. There was one good thing about them; they were longer then normal, their span greatly shadowing that of Yugi's who had a rather large span to begin with. My style of flight was much different from theirs, not to mention much more fun. Beating my wings a few times I shot straight up into the air, until I was a good hundred feet above anything in the Upper Elements. I hovered there for a few moments before I retracted my wings and let the sweet euphoria of free falling rush through my veins. I extended my wings a tiny bit to slow my decent, so I wouldn't completely pass Yugi and Adara.
Slowing down a little more I notice Adara had taken on a nasty looking shade of green, most likely from watching the way I fly, she finds it unnerving for some reason. I also noticed that Yugi was shaking his head and grinning, looking at me as if I was insane. 'You're crazy,' he mouthed to me. I laughed a bit, fully retracting my wings and free falling at break neck speed for another thousand feet or so, before slowing down so they could catch up.
It took us a while but we finally found Domino City. After that it was simply a matter of finding Domino Highschool, as it was still rather early in the day (Incase you were wondering, Upper Elements is one day ahead of Earth, so to us it was Saturday, to them it was Friday.) We were luck that there was plenty of gray overcast, it aloud us to move about unnoticed. Finding the school, with little trouble, we quickly swooped down and landed on the roof. Leaning against the railing on the edge of the building I rested a little bit, flying didn't take too much energy, but then again I hadn't eaten breakfast.
"You look tired Ryou," Yugi said to me just as I started to yawn. I nodded a bit, my eyes half hooded as I looked out at the city before me.
"Well my subject doesn't even go to this school so I guess I'll see you guys later. We'll meet," Adara began to scan the area for an inconspicuous meeting point, "at that park," she pointed to a large green district. "At night fall, no later. You boys stay out of trouble now!" She took off, quickly disappearing into the thick gray clouds.
"So what do we do now?" I asked sleepily.
"Not sure," Yugi replied, "There isn't much we can do with them is school, and I for one am not willing to test out how strong my protection spell is with all of these humans around."
I blinked trying to keep the sleep out of my eyes, my stomach growling savagely. I was having a hard time trying to stay awake for some reason. Must have been the lack of blood sugar. Anyway, while I was fighting to keep my eyes open Yugi had taken his pocket computer out (they're like laptop computers, only smaller) and was seeing if he could get satellite feeds of his subject. I quickly followed suit, hoping that this would help me stay awake.
We sat there watching our screens for what felt like forever. Their school was just about as boring as ours, and nothing was happening! Abandoning our computers Yugi and I talked for a while before we heard footsteps approaching the door that led up to the roof. We hurriedly gathered our stuff, and quickly cast our protection spells.
Slowly the door opened to reveal a mess of spiked, and unruly white hair. The picture hadn't depicted how tall Bakura was and only now did I realize that he was a good head taller than me. He was casually scanning the roof, before his cold eyes narrowed in the exact location where he shouldn't have been able to see me.
