Chapter 2: The Guardian Angel

The next two weeks were nerve wracking for Yugi. He constantly had nightmares about the murder. He was scared to go outside. He had even received threat calls from the killer. His parents were worried sick about him. His father called the Federal Government, telling them about what happened and asking for help. A group of male Federal Agents was sent to Yugi's house to protect him. Even with Federal help, Yugi still didn't feel safe. The killer used to be a Federal Agent himself. He was more afraid than ever instead of calm.
Up in heaven, one of the angels is very worried as well. This angel is known as Yami. He had lavender eyes, red, black and blonde hair, and pale skin like Yugi. The only differences other than his wings were that his eyes were more slanted, giving him a mature look, he had blond streaks going through his hair, and he was 1'6" taller than Yugi.
Yami had been an angel for millennia. He has watched Yugi since the day of his birth. Now he was very concerned about Yugi's safety.
God was well aware of Yami's interest in Yugi. "Do you want to protect him?" he asked.
"Yes I do! He is in one of the worst kinds of dangers right now," Yami responded.
"So be it," God said. "You will live in the house that is right across the street from Yugi. That house has been empty for six months. It will be furnished as soon as you enter it. As an additional way to keep watch over Yugi, you will go to his school as a student."
"What is the name of his school?" Yami asked.
"First Step Lutheran High," God responded. "I arranged it so that you will be in all of his classes," he added.
"I'll leave immediately," Yami said. He vanished and reappeared in the empty house.
The tent disappeared, and the house was completely furnished. Yami magically hid his wings. He changed himself into a white leather shirt with matching pants and boots. He got fully settled in two weeks.
It had been a month now, and Yugi calmed down considerably. His shoulder and upper arm were completely healed, leaving a thin, permanent 9" scar. He had been out of the house for the remaining two weeks of the month. For some reason, he felt safe, and it had nothing to do with the agents. For the additional two weeks Yugi spent at home, Yami secretly watched over him at night. Yami appeared in Yugi's room, but invisible. He didn't want Yugi to know that he was an angel yet.
The next morning, Yugi got up, bathed and dressed, and had his breakfast. He grabbed his stuff and walked to school. The Federal Agents were stationed five minutes apart from each other to keep track of Yugi. Yugi was halfway to school when he felt an arm go around his midsection, and a hand cover his mouth.
"Try to escape, and I'll kill you right here," a menacing voice said.
Yugi recognized the voice. It was the ex-Federal Agent Harry. He stayed still. The Federal Agents came from their positions and surrounded Harry. Their guns were drawn.
"Drop the weapon and release the boy!" the leader of the group commanded.
Harry reluctantly complied. He knew he didn't stand a chance against six of them. Yugi walked on with one of the agents beside him. They arrived with no more problems.
"Thank you," Yugi said.
"No problem. We'll be watching. Have a good day at school," the agent said.
Yugi nodded and went to his first class. The students and Pastor Gray were very glad to see him back. They felt absolutely horrible for him. They would be scared if the got shot as well. The principal only told him that Yugi had been shot, not the part about witnessing the murder.
"Welcome back Yugi. How are you feeling?" the pastor asked.
"Much better," Yugi responded as he took his seat.
"Now before we begin, I would like into introduce our new student. His name is Yami. You can come in now Yami," Pastor Gray said.
Yami walked in wearing the school uniform. The whole class and the pastor gasped. They kept looking between Yami and Yugi. Yugi was the most surprised out of all of them.
'He looks just like me. The only exceptions are that he's taller, he has bangs going through his hair, and he has more mature eyes,' Yugi thought.
"Yami, would you please sit in the empty seat next to Yugi?" the pastor asked after regaining his composure a few minutes later.
Yami took a seat next to Yugi, and class began.
"Even though we have already talked about miracles, l think we should have an open discussion about it today. The Lord has been gracious to Yugi this past month. To have Yugi back safe is nothing short of a miracle," the pastor said.
The class had discussion about what is a miracle and what is considered a miracle. Yugi wasn't paying attention though. He was looking at Yami. Sensing that Yugi was watching him, Yami looked to him and smiled.
'I don't know why, but I feel safe with Yami here,' Yugi thought.
Yami had read Yugi's thoughts and smiled. 'That's because I've been sent to protect you,' Yami thought.
Most of the day went smoothly for Yugi. He was currently in his math class. Math was the last class of the day for him. He only had 15 minutes left. Things were normal when suddenly a man walked into the room through the front. Yugi was terrified because the man was Harry.
"Hello Yugi," Harry said. He pulled out his gun and fired.
Yami had very fast reflexes. He tackled Yugi with plenty of time to spare.
"Yami, get Yugi out of here!" the teacher yelled.
Yami nodded and led Yugi out the back door. He went into the bathroom. He made Yugi and himself invisible. Harry was delayed a little while because six teachers held him back. He got out a few minutes later and started to look for Yugi.
'They're probably in the bathroom,' Harry thought smirking. He went into the bathroom, but there was no one there. He looked in every stall, but he found no one. He left to look somewhere else.
Yugi's heartbeat returned to normal. Yami sighed with relief. He led Yugi out of the bathroom. They were still invisible though. The day was already over when Harry left. Yami took the invisibility spell off. He saw that Yugi was still scared.
"Do you want me to walk you home?" Yami asked.
"I would love that," Yugi responded.
Yami smiled, and he and Yugi walked home together.
"So where do you live?" Yugi asked.
"I live in the house right across from yours. I've been living there for two weeks," Yami responded.
"That's great; we can talk to each other whenever we want," Yugi said.
"We sure can," Yami said.
The Federal Agents were watching them. For some reason, they felt that Yami was just what Yugi needed. They decided to watch them both. Yugi and Yami walked up to the neighborhood and split as they went into their homes.
"See you tomorrow Yami," Yugi said.
"See you tomorrow," Yami said as he went into his house.
Yugi saw his mother on the porch.
"How was your day?" Cindy asked.
"It was good until my last class. Harry almost got me. Yami saved my life and walked me here," Yugi responded.
"Is Yami the young man who went into that house?" she asked.
"Yes mom," Yugi responded.
"He looks just like you," she said.
"I know; every student in my class all gasped when they saw us," Yugi said. He then went into his room to start his homework. He didn't have any make-up work to do. He free B+'s for all his missed assignments. He finished his homework in exactly one hour.
"Yugi, come get your lunch," Cindy said.
"Okay mom," Yugi said. He went into the living room to eat his lunch.
Unaware to him, Harry was just outside the window. Yugi just happened to look out the window when he saw Harry. He and his mother were wide open to an attack. Cindy saw Harry and didn't move. Even though the Federal Agents surrounded him, he was prepared this time.
"Don't move, or I fire on them!" Harry said.
The agents had no choice but to back off. Yugi and his mother were right in the line of fire. Harry was about to fire anyway when the gun disappeared out of his hand.
"What happened?" Harry asked.
The agents took Harry down. Harry got free from a couple by kicking them in the stomach and then adding some other moves. But the other four knocked him unconscious. One of them took him to prison while the over five got back in their positions. The two that had been knocked out regained consciousness.
Unknown to all of them, Yami was responsible for the gun disappearing out of Harry's hand. He was on the roof of the building. He was invisible so no one would see him. 'I know that Harry won't stay in prison for long,' he thought. He looked into the window at Yugi. 'I've got to be quicker. Yugi was almost killed today,' he thought. He vanished back to his house, waiting for Yugi to sleep.
Roger came home at exactly 8:30pm. Yugi told him all that happened. Roger was glad that Yugi had a new friend. He was thankful for four reasons. One was that the Federal Agents saved Yugi on his way to school. The second reason was that Yami saved Yugi while in school. The third was that Yami walked Yugi home, and the fourth was the mysterious person who saved Yugi and his mother.
"Yami is always welcome here," Roger said.
"For some strange reason, I think he already knows that," Yugi said.
Yami did know that he was welcome at Yugi's house. He read Cindy's mind when she talked to Yugi. Yugi and his family had dinner together. An hour later, Yugi got into his pajamas and went to bed. As he's been doing, Yami appeared invisible inside Yugi's room.
Yami was right about Harry. Harry escaped while the guards slept. He went back to his hideout. His hideout was in an underground laboratory under Central Park. No one had ever suspected that a peaceful park hid a now evil secret. He prepared for the next time he would try to kill Yugi. He was bothered by Yami.
'There's something strange about that kid Yami. I can't lay my finger on it yet. I have a feeling that I'll find out,' Harry thought. He didn't know how right he was.
Yami planned to let him know that he was an angel. For now, Yami watched Yugi sleep. When Yugi woke up the next morning, Yami was back in his house. Yami got changed and walked to the school. He stayed outside in wait for Yugi. Pastor Gray also waited outside for Yugi. He was very concerned about Yugi. Yugi was on his way there. Unknown to him, Harry was nearby. This time, Harry was really prepared for the agents. He sprayed all six of them with sleeping gas.
Yugi was almost at school when he felt arms wrap around him. He was then dragged into a helicopter. Unknown to him, one of the Federal Agents was awake. That one had used a gas mask and only pretended to be asleep. He grabbed the landing gear as the helicopter took off. Yami and Pastor Gray had seen the whole thing.
"If only we could do something," Pastor Gray said.
"You can't, but I can," Yami said.
"How?" Pastor Gray said.
"Here's how," Yami responded as his disguise faded away to reveal his pure white robes and pure white angel wings.
Pastor Gray gasped in amazement. "You're an angel," he said.
"Yes I am. We have been watching you. We are pleased with your teachings. Don't tell anyone that I'm an angel yet. I must go," Yami said as he flew off after the helicopter. He easily caught up to it and followed it to the location.
Harry arrived at the roof of the Umpire State Building in an hour. The Federal Agent got off when the landing gear was close enough to the ground and hid behind the stairwell shed. The helicopter landed, and Harry got out, holding onto Yugi. Harry went as far as the edge, ready to drop Yugi.
"Hold it!" the Federal Agent said coming out of his hiding spot with his gun drawn.
"Mike, I thought you were asleep," Harry said confused.
"You were my partner once Harry. I know you," Mike said. "Bring the boy back to the roof."
Harry drew his gun and fired. Mike got out of the way and fired back at Harry's chest. Harry wore a bulletproof vest so his chest was off limits. The standoff lasted an hour with neither side winning.
"Enough!" a voice shouted from above.
Yugi, Harry and Mike looked up to see Yami. They were all amazed. Yami was hovering in the air. His wings were magnificent.
"I knew there was something different about you!" Harry said. He fired 5 rounds at Yami.
The bullets didn't affect Yami one bit. Angels can't die, get hurt or get sick again so firing the gun was useless.
"I think you'll find this familiar," Yami said as he snapped his fingers.
Harry's gun disappeared out of his hand.
"So you were responsible for making my gun disappear out of my hand!" Harry said.
"Yes I was," Yami said.
Mike approached his former partner in an attempt to get Yugi. Harry let go of Yugi, but Mike grabbed his hand. Yugi didn't have a good grip and slipped away. He fell fast and was below the clouds in seconds.
"Yugi!" Yami cried as he flew down after Yugi.
The people on the ground could make out a boy falling. They were horrified to say the least. A few seconds later, they also made out a winged figure flying after the boy. Yugi was still pretty high when Yami caught him. Yami had one arm around Yugi's back and the other arm under his knees.
"Are you all right?" Yami asked as he flew up.
"I am now thanks to you," Yugi responded.
Yami flew to the roof to find that Harry got away by the stairs. Mike got into the helicopter. He hesitated a little in case Yami wanted Yugi to be in the helicopter.
"Go on. I'll take Yugi home," Yami said. He flew lower. He flew on when he was a hundred feet in the air. He came to and flew past the school in an hour later. He flew by slowly and a little lower because the pastor was outside.
Pastor Gray was very relieved when he saw Yugi in Yami's arms. Yami arrived in their neighborhood an additional ten minutes later. Cindy was not home yet, so Yami landed on the front porch and was back in disguise. He put Yugi down.
"Thank you for saving me," Yugi said.
"It was nothing Yugi. I've been watching you since the day of your birth. When I saw how scared you were when you witnessed that murder, as well as get shot, I couldn't stop worrying about you. God sent me to protect you. That's what living across the street from you, going to your school and being in all of your classes is about," Yami said.
"So I've finally met an angel," Yugi said.
"Yes you have Yugi. I'm your guardian angel now," Yami said.
They just settled on the porch. At 11:15am, Cindy arrived. She was a bit surprised to see Yugi and Yami on the porch.
"Why are you here Yugi?" she asked.
Yami showed her what he really was. Like Yugi, she was amazed instead of afraid.
"I have been sent to protect your son. God and all the angels have been watching over you and everyone else. I took interest in your son. I was worried as much as you were when Yugi was scared for his life. So God sent me here," Yami said.
"Did something happened today?" Cindy asked.
"I was on my way to school when Harry grabbed me and put me in a helicopter. He took to the Umpire State Building's roof and intended to drop me over the edge. Mike, one of the Federal Agents, tried to stop him, and they had a shootout. An hour later, Yami intervened. Harry fired at him, but he wasn't affected because he was an angel. Harry let me go, but Mike grabbed my hand. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good grip. I slipped away and fell. Yami saved me and brought me here," Yugi said.
"Thank you for saving my son," Cindy said.
"It's no trouble at all," Yami said. "I'm always available to you Yugi. All you have to do is knock at my door. That's why I'm living in the house right across from you." He went back into his house.
Then Mike came up to the porch. "You left this behind," he said as he handed over Yugi's backpack.
"Thank you," Yugi said as he took the backpack. "Thanks for trying to save me," he added.
"It was no problem. My colleagues and I like you. You're too innocent to have to go through this. Yami should get most of the credit though," Mike said.
When Roger came home that night, he was amazed by Yugi's story. He then told Yugi a story of one of his most terrifying days on the job. "Five years ago, I had to stop an arsonist. I came to the building that he was going to set on fire. I entered to find him still inside. He and I battled. I fought to stop the arson, and he fought to start it. He won out and started the fire. He was about to leave me here when the fire blocked his path too. We were both trapped. A few moments later, an angel came and helped us escape. I saw his face. He had eyes and hair just like yours Yugi," he said.
"So Yami helped you as well," Yugi said.
"Yes he did Yugi," Roger said.
After dinner, Yugi went to his bedroom and got into bed. He had been changed into his pajamas. Yami appeared in the room. He was visible now that Yugi knew.
"Hi Yami," Yugi said.
"Good evening Yugi," Yami said.
"Did you really help my dad out five years ago?" Yugi asked.
Yami smiled and responded, " Yes Yugi. I did help him."
The Federal Agents were just outside the window. Mike's story amazed them and seeing Yami amazed them even more.
"Yami is indeed just what Yugi needed," the leader said.
"Yes he is sir," Mike said.
The group of agents got some rest, knowing that Yugi was in good hands. At 10pm, Yugi went to sleep himself. His parents were also asleep. Yami watched over Yugi as the night wore on.


Whew! That's finished. Preview for Chapter 3: Flying with an Angel: It's summer break. Yami takes Yugi flying to help get his mind off witnessing a murder. But danger is always lurking somewhere. Harry is determined to kill Yugi and will stop at nothing until that happens.
