Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Broken Wings ❯ Cleaning Up ( Chapter 1 )

**Cleaning Up**

~I don't own Yugioh!!~

~~**~~**~~*~~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~

Ryou woke up from his black out and groaned as knew pains shot threw his already beaten body. `Oh God' he thought as he tried to get up.

The white haired boy refused to cry as agony coursed threw every part of his body.

He hobbled through the hallway, tripping over imaginary things as he went. He fell from the weakness b8ut forced himself to get back up.

The only thing he was thankful for was that Bakura had left him enough energy to even walk.

He continued his journey to the bathroom and got there eventually.

The brown-eyed boy ran the water in the shower and turned it up to its hottest spray.

Carefully, he stripped down and entered the shower.

At first the waters burned his battered flesh but soon all the pain just slipped away. The water turned red as it fell down Ryou's body, but the teen couldn't care less.

Soon, the water started to turn cold so the teen reluctantly got out.

As soon as he stepped out of the spray, throbbing darts of pain shot through his meek body.

He wrapped a towel around his waist and looked down at himself.

He sighed. Not only did his body ache, but also his body was stained with cuts and bruises. The whole stomach area was one big bruise and the base of his neck was turning purple and black. Arms and legs were covered with small and big cuts alike.

He was going to have to call and tell Yugi he couldn't make it to the party.

"My one chance to escape and I won't be able to go" the male whispered bitterly. He cursed his yami mentally.

He looked up into the mirror and gasped.

He was staring at someone who definitely hadn't been there while he was taking his shower. The white haired male was looking at a young female.

Ryou turned to face the mysterious person and he almost fell down again.

The male was staring into crystal blue eyes that sparkled with untouched innocents. Long white hair fell down to her shoulder blades and white feathery wings were folded neatly behind her back. White robes dragged along the stained floor but the girl didn't seem to mind.

"Who are you?" he asked quietly.

She smiled and walked closer.

Strange enough, when she walked closer the male didn't feel afraid. In fact, he felt a wave of safe being.

"I'm Kairi and you…" she reached out and gently touched the middle of his forehead a small glow coming from her body, "are not hurt anymore".

The glow died away and when her finger left his body all the pain was gone.

Every cut, scratch, bruise, gash, and marking were gone.

The brown-eyed male stood there amazed. "Thank you" he said. He didn't need to be a genius to tell the smaller girl was an angel.

"Your welcome Ryou" she replied.

He looked up. "How do you know my name? I've never met you before".

She chuckled lightly. "I may be a fledgling but I can still watch you. I… wanted to help earlier but it is forbidden were I come from".

He smiled. "Thank you Kairi. I'm grateful"

The girl brushed stray pieces of hair out of the taller boys eyes. "No problem. I watch… when your yami harms you. I'm sorry I can't help more often. It's just that… I'm so small and I'm forbidden to help mortals".

Ryou tilted his head. "But you just help me. Are you going to get in trouble?"

Blue eyes closed a little. "Probably"

There was a sudden knock on the door and Kairi suddenly disappeared at the sound. "I'll be back soon Ryou. Stay safe," a sweet voice whispered to him.

The knock was heard again except louder. "Get out of their slave!" Bakura's voice yelled menacingly. "Now!"

Ryou shuddered and grabbed another blanket and wrapped it around his top half. He couldn't let Bakura know that he had been healed.

The spirit would ask how and the teen didn't know how to answer that question.

He walked out the doors walking past his yami silently.

"Stupid slave" the white haired demon muttered before disappearing soundlessly.

Ryou didn't feel him inside the ring and assumed that Bakura had gone to go see Marik. Those two were best friends.

The brown eyes teen walked into his room and stripped down, putting on his boxers and a long baggy t-shirt.

` Thank you Kairi, wherever you are. I hope I do see you soon' he thought before pulling the blankets over his body and falling asleep.

I know it's short but I'll make the next chapter longer if I get some reviews.

NO Flames please.

As they say…. If you don't like, don't read, and don't annoy me about it!
