**We Were Friends Before Him **

~I don't own Yugioh~

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

The very same day, Kairi tiptoed through the clouds dodging as many angels as she could without being noticed.

She hadn't told Kail were she was going and she didn't plan to. As far as he new, she was still in her room resting. It was only about 2:00pm human time.

This was something was something Kail couldn't know about.

He wouldn't understand and would try and stop her.

The white haired angel jumped of the edge of a cloud and for a minute plummeted before spreading her wings. `Sorry Kail, but I can't leave Ryou right now and no guardian angel has been helping him'.

She made sure no mortals saw her and continued her flying path to Ryou's home.

When she got to the white haired boys house she heard yelling and breaking glass coming from inside.

"You Bitch! You're hiding something from me and I swear to Ra I'll find out what or who it is and then you'll be fucking sorry" Bakura's voice yelled. The yelling was followed by a `smack' that was no doubt the yami's fist hitting Ryou's jaw.

"Ryou" the angel whispered troubled.

`I want to help further but that would be going to far' she told herself mentally.

More sounds were heard from inside including the yelps of pain from the beaten boy.

She covered her ears with her hands and slid down the wall of the house. "Gods stop" she whispered into the wind, memories flooding back into her mind of her yami.

Everything started to go blurry but Kairi refused to black out or anything of the sort.

Suddenly the noise stopped and the blue-eyed girl took her hand away from her ears to listen to the silence.

Everything started to fade back into her mind and she heard the front door slam meaning that the disastrous spirit had gone out again.

Kairi had watched were Bakura went after he had beaten Ryou. He went to some detest bar across town and didn't return till late in the afternoon. When he did, he was drunk and even more dangerous then usual.

The white haired angel didn't bother using the door, but instead walked right through the wall.

She did this by going transparent. It was a very energy-consuming task and she could only do it for about 10 seconds tops.

When she looked around the room, a gasp of silent horror left her lips.

There was Ryou.

He was slumped against the wall, blood dripping from his mouth and just about every other part of his body. His eyes were closed but you could tell he had a black eye. Bruises covered in arms and his shirt was ripped down the middle, exposing damaged stomach tissue and skin.

Blood was dripping down the wall that Ryou had clearly slid down.

The blue-eyed girl ran over to a highly injured Ryou and started the healing process, like she had done the way once before.

It took longer then before, but that was only because he was far more hurt that last time.

She removed her fingers from his forehead and sat down in front of him, waiting for him to awaken.

After about five minutes, his eyelids twitched softly and his brown orbs opened dizzily.

"Are you okay Ryou?" she asked softly.

The white haired boy shakily nodded his head and quickly scanned over his own body. "You healed me".

Kairi nodded softly and she smiled. Her wings folded neatly behind her back.

It was something Kairi could never explain. She couldn't help but be happy on Earth. Just being there made her smile, not that heaven was bad or anything. She had great times up there too.

"You're a lifesaver Kairi," he said, standing up and helping the angel to her feet.

The angel looked around the room for the first time since she had been there.

The room was painted white and blue and had a double bed in the corner. A desk was in the other corner.

She walked over to it, noticing a picture frame had been knocked over. The glass in front was broken but she ignored that and picked it up.

A mental gasp filled her mind as she looked at the picture dumbfounded. `I can't believe it' she thought. A small smile spread across her features.

The picture was of something someone never would have guessed.

It was of Ryou and Bakura. The yami was giving Ryou a piggyback at what looked to be a carnival. Both were smiling, although Bakura's smile looked a bit darker than Ryou's.

The white haired boy sighed. "Bakura wasn't always like what he's like now".

Blue eyes looked up questioningly at the taller boy. "You were friends. What happened to cause such a change?"

"After he met Marik… things just started to change. He came home drunk and he didn't seem to care about anything anymore" he whispered.

Kairi had a sad look sketched across her face, but then a question came to mind. "Who is Marik?"

A serious and somewhat despising look came across the white haired boys face that Kairi had never seen before. "How old are you Kairi?"

She gave a puzzled look at the 17 year old. "I'm 15".

"I don't know if I should tell," he whispered.

She put her hand on his cheek. "Please tell me. How can I help if I don't know what I should be looking out for?"

The boy sighed and took the picture from her hand and looked at it carefully. "Marik is a thief of sorts. He steals what you cherish most, like friendship. He has the power to change people. He can make you do anything just with his demonic words. It's like… he knows what you're thinking and what you truly are".

The white haired boy brushed hair behind his ear. "He's the yami of Malik Ishtar. Malik doesn't know that Marik is still alive. Bakura, used to be my best friend until Marik go hold of him".

"That's horrible! How could someone do that?" the angel said sorrow in her voice. "That's just not right!"

He smiled slightly. "You're right but Marik is prince of all things that aren't right".

"Oh no" he suddenly shouted, the clock catching his eye.

"What's wrong?" the white haired girl asked puzzled.

He looked at her. "There's a party at my friends house that I promised to attend. It starts in 20 minutes!"

The girl giggled. "What are you worrying about? Grab some sleeping stuff and go".

"What about you? I don't want to just leave you…"

She lifted a finger to his lips to silence him. "Ryou, just go. I'll be in heaven and I'll visit after you the party. Have fun". Without another word she went translucent and faded through the walls.

He sighed and went to go pack his things for the sleepover party.

A question crossed his mind while packing.

Malik and Ishizu were going to this party. Should he tell them that Marik was free and on the loose?

Everyone thought the evil Egyptian had been banished by Yami but he somehow survived.

The question was, telling them could cost him his life.

Bakura had sworn that he'd kill Ryou if he ever told a soul about Marik coming back.

Bakura always kept his promises.

Kairi flew back up to the sky unnoticed and nobody had even noticed she had gone.

When Kail asked where she had gone she replied that she just needed some air.

He had left her alone after that.

"I finally have a plan," she whispered to the wind. "I need to get Ryou and Bakura together again".
