Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ In The Arms Of An Angel ❯ Memories of an Angel ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6: Memories Of An Angel

Everyone continued to stare at Yugi as he floated in the air with an unconscious Seiya in his arms. Cerius seems to be quite amused while everyone else, except for Leo and Raziel, had they're mouths open.

"I-I can't believe it," whispered Anzu. "Yugi is a............is a Yoi Angel."

"The day has finally come," said Raziel.

Leo turned his head to look towards him. "Yes..it has. The moment of truth.........."

Raziel turned towards Anzu, Bakura, Honda, and Jounouchi.

"It is time for you all to know the truth about Yugi," he said quietly.

While Raziel began his story about Yugi's past, Yugi seemed to be out of it. His eyes were huge as painful memories of his parent's death, the bullies, and his death flashed through his mind.

"Strange memories," whispered Yugi as his pupils faded. "Horrible memories............I remember everything now. I remember that night...............I really did kill myself."

Yugi became lost in his memories of his past.



//Flash back//



Eight-year-old Yugi is sitting on his bed clutching the bed sheets. His mother died nine hours ago in the hospital and Yugi is taking it pretty bad. When he first found out, he denied that his mother was dead. He claimed that the doctors made a mistake and that his mother was just getting over the flu. It finally hit him when his Grandfather told him with a serious look in his eyes that the doctors never joked around.

Grandpa Moto had entered the room to check up on his Grandson after giving him some time alone. At first Yugi said nothing when his Grandpa asked him how he was, then his mouth opened.

"Mother isn't coming back," said Yugi; his head is lowered and his bane's have covered his eyes to hide the sadness in them. "...............the doctors were telling the truth."

Grandpa Moto lowered his head sadly.

"I'm sorry Yugi..." he said. "She took an over dose of medication. The doctors couldn't save her. They tried hard but they got there too late."

Yugi's grip on his bed sheets tightly greatly as tears trickled down his cheeks.

"Its my fault," said Yugi as more tears started to slip down his cheeks. "I.............I wanted them to pay a lot of attention to me. I-I- I............stressed mother out ever since father died............I wanted her attention because I felt so lonely without dad........."

Yugi broke down into tears. He fell onto his bed and sobbed as his Grandfather rushed to his side to comfort him.

"I always............be-begged father...........to hurry home..........to see me............and he got killed because he was rushing............rushing to see me because I am so selfish."

"There there," said Grandpa Moto as he gently stroked Yugi's shaking back. "It wasn't your fault Yugi. The cause of your parent's death has nothing to do with you. You are not the one to be blamed. Never blame yourself for things you did not do. I blame the person who killed your father and I blame no one for killing your mother; she chose to die."

Yugi continued to cry as his buried his face into the pillow.

"I can't live without mom and dad," he thought in his mind. "They are the only friends I have. I don't want to live without them...............Without them..........I have nothing........."

(Yugi's P.O.V)

My grandpa told me that things were going to be better after a few months. But when I returned to school, after taking a month off to grieve for my parent's death, no one seemed to care that I lost my parents. They all just picked on me worse then before............

//Enter next Flash back//

Yugi is at elementary school, getting kicked around by bullies. Everyday after school the bullies would take Yugi to a private place where they would beat him up. They would harass and tease him about how he relied on his parents all the time and never stood up for himself. Yugi would go home sore and bleeding.

"What's wrong little Yugi?" taunted a sixth grader. "Where is your superman father now? Oh right, he is dead. Why don't you fight back?"

The kids behind him laughed.

"Stop it," whispered Yugi as he held his head in pain. "Please stop it.............I didn't do anything wrong............I just wanted to be alone for a bit and-"

"Shut up you cry baby," barked the sixth grader as he kicked Yugi in the stomach. "Your mama is not around to baby you so act like a man. Nice people like you are always the first ones to die. You just let people kick you around all the time and soon they will be out to kill you."

The kick caused Yugi to yip in pain. He whimpered softly and curled up into a tight ball while clutching his stomach.

"Come on guys, he isn't worth it right now," said the sixth grader. "We'll get you tomorrow, Moto. If you bring lots of money for us, we will leave you be."

The other kids nodded in agreement. They then left Yugi lying on the ground. Yugi laid still for a moment, then burst into tears; he was hurting physically and mentally.

"Why me........." sobbed Yugi. "Why does everyone seem to hate me. Why does everything seem to hate me."



//End of Flash back//

(Yugi's P.O.V)

I kept thinking of death ever since I got back to school. I wasn't paying attention in class and my teacher was getting worried about me. She sent me to the counselor every day after school. The counselor was not help at all. The guy was stupid and he kept telling me the same things:

Try to be friends with the bullies Go to the library Run

These options didn't do anything to help me. The bullies would follow me everywhere and make up excuses to the teachers that they are trying to comfort me. The teacher bought it and that made me realize that I could never forgive them for letting them take me away. I couldn't believe that even the teachers were against me!

One night, I decided that this was too much. People tried to help me but seemed to be lacking on trying their best. I then decided when I was 15 that I had enough. I made my decision..............

//Enter next Flash back//

It is pouring rain outside, Yugi, who appears to be 15, is in his room sitting on his bed. He is holding something in his hand.

"I had enough," he whispered to himself. "The kids just continue to be mean to me and I want it all to stop."

Lightening crashed and reflected off of a knife that Yugi was holding in his hands. He slowly raised the knife. The sixth grader's words from years ago replayed in his mind.

"Nice people like you are always the first ones to die." the sixth grader's voice echoed through his mind. "You just let people kick you around all the time and soon they will be out to kill you."

"He is right............" he whispered. "I don't want to live anymore. I want to die. I'd rather die by my own hands then have someone else kill me." Something in Yugi's head was chanting, "That's right, kill yourself. Kill yourself, Muto. Let your blood stain your bed sheets, let your blood drain from your body, let your body become cold as ice."

Yugi lifted the knife up. "No more kids will hurt me if I am dead. No more coming home all sore and aching.

"DO IT!" the voice in Yugi's head screamed. "End your pain, NOW!"

"No more pain!" cried Yugi.

He pulled the dagger down towards himself and buried it deep into his chest. Yugi winced and coughed up blood as he gripped onto the hilt of the dagger. His blood spilt all over his bed sheets and was quickly absorbed into the clean sheets. He fell off his bed and onto the floor when his vision started to blur. Yugi curled up into a tight ball as he whispered his final words.

"N-No mo-mo-re...lone........liness.." he managed to gasp out. "Wait for me.............mama..............pa...........pa.........."

He took one last breath and closed his eyes as he fell into eternal rest. His head lowered onto the floor and his face turned into a peaceful expression. Blood pooled around Yugi's body as he lay lifelessly on the floor; the only sound in the room is the rain hitting against the window and landing on the ground.

Outside in the pouring rain a figure was standing on a building close by Yugi's home. The figure was tall and he has angelic wings that are quite long; longer then his body. The figure jumped from the building and soared towards Yugi's bedroom.

He floated near the window and waved a hand to open it. He flew into the room through the window, and landed gently on the floor. His wet feet gently slapped against the floor as he walked over to Yugi's body. His wings folded around himself as he knelt down. He shook his head sadly as the sight.

"I guess I got here in time," said the man. "Poor soul, he is so kind yet some people can't stand kindness and have to destroy every ounce of it. People like Cerius........."

He reached out and brushed away a few strains of hair from Yugi's closed eyes. "Its such a shame but I am thankful I got to him first before those Warui Angels did. With all the hatred locked up inside him, who knows how useful he could be to them."

His bare hand touched Yugi's forehead gently. Yugi's body outlined in white and pure white wings unfolded out of his back and spread out gently. The pool of blood around Yugi disintegrated, as well as the blood on the bed sheets. He stood up and smiled as he watched Yugi's wings disappeared into his back.

"Tis best that he did not know that he was an angel yet," he said to himself. "He is too young and he might not be able to handle the shock. Seiya..........I mean Yami...........will be destined to take care of him. Perhaps the little one will be the one to soften his cold heart that Leo failed to do so."

Raziel cringed at the memory. He softly sighed and then smiled at the slumbering Yugi. "Let's just see what happens when the time comes. Hopefully, Yami's mission to capture Cerius will be completed soon."

The angel lifted his head at the sound of someone knocking on the door.

"Yugi?" called Grandpa Moto. "I can hear noises, are you alright in there? I brought you some food."

His grandpa opened the door and Raziel stood his ground. Grandpa Moto entered the room with a tray in his hands.

"Yu-" His eyes widened as a flash of lightening lit up the room and revealed the angel standing beside Yugi. This caused Grandpa Moto to drop the tray.

Who are you?" demanded Grandpa Moto as his body shook from shock and fear. "Wha-What are you doing here? What did you do to my Grandson? I-I'm going to call the police."

The angel faced Mr.Moto with folded arms.

"I'm sorry Moto-san," said the man. "Your Grandson is dead."

Grandpa Moto's eyes widened in disbelief.

"He killed himself because he was suffering," continued Raziel. "I came here to see to it that I am here first instead of the Warui Angels."

"Yugi...............dead? Grandpa Moto repeated. "Warui angels? What are you talking about? "What is going on?"

He placed a hand against his temple as his head ached from all the shocking information; his head was flowing with questions.

"My name is Raziel," said the angel as thunder rumbled. "I am a Shinigami Yoi Angel, a good angel. Warui Angels are the evil ones. Our purpose is to find those who are dead and turn them into either Yoi or Warui Angels. I got to Yugi first so he is like me, a Yoi Angel. If the Warui Angels got to him first, he would've been a warrior of darkness."

Grandpa Moto stood there for a moment, silent. Then his eyes grew wide once again when he recognized Raziel's name.

"Wait...did you say Raziel?" asked Grandpa Moto.

Raziel smiled softly.

"It couldn't be.........." whispered Grandpa Moto. "Seitashi-san?"

"Good to see you again, Moto-san," said Raziel with a gentle look in his eyes.

"Seitashi-san," said Grandpa with a shocked expression on his face. "I can't believe that its really you. It's been years since that train accident you were in. I've missed you old friend."

Raziel continued to smile. "I am pleased to see you again, Moto-san. But I cannot stay. Yugi will continue to live here with you until the time comes. You must not tell him that he is dead. Just pretend that everything is the way it was before this happened. Pretend that he is just his normal self. Also keep a close eye on him"

"But why?" asked Granpa Moto as he looked to his grandson's body. "Why must he not know?"

Raziel kneeled down and picked up Yugi. He carried him to his bed, placed him down, and slid the covers over his body.

"Because it is too soon for him to know what he truly is now," explained Raziel. "In a few years, Yugi will meet Yami. Yami will become Yugi's friend and then tell him the truth about what he is. It is their destiny to meet each other."

"Why can't this Yami person come now?" asked Grandpa Moto who had a sad look in his eyes. "And what does he look like?"

"Because Yami is on a mission right now, and I can't tell you that," explained Raziel. "You will see him soon. He will come for Yugi when the time is right. For now, keep an eye on Yugi. Make sure he doesn't try to kill himself. If he finds out he cannot die by his own hands, who knows what will happen.

"Angels cannot commit suicide no matter how much they try. Another angel must kill him or her. I have erased his memories of him killing himself and the memories of the reasons why he wanted to kill himself in the first place. Please keep this secret as my last request."

Raziel looked hopefully at Grandpa Moto. Grandpa thought about what Raziel said for a moment, then nodded his head.

"For old times," he said with a smile.

Raziel returned the smile as his body lifted up into the air. He flew out of the room, backwards, and out the window.

"Don't forget, Moto-san" Raziel whispered as he disappeared into the dark, rainy, night.

Grandpa Moto watched Raziel disappeared and smiled again. "Goodbye, Seitashi-san. I hope to see you again someday."

He looked over at Yugi and walked over to him. He sat down on his Grandson's bed and sighed.

"I just hope things will get better for you, Yugi," he said and gently patted Yugi's head. "I wish that I knew you being bullied. I would've dealt with them. No one hurts my grandson and gets away with it."

He got up from Yugi's bed. "I am going to keep a close eye on you for now on and I'll deal with the ones that have been picking on you."

He left Yugi to sleep and went off to his own bedroom to get some rest.

Yugi turned in his sleep and softly whispered. "Yami................."
