Them

A/N: Hello all! I appreciate you all for reading. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

/Thoughts/

"You're not so cute after sleeping for two days," Bakura chuckled as Yugi stumbled out of Ryou's room. He adorned his ragged white leather pants and white button up shirt; the buttons not buttoned correctly. Half of his disheveled hair lay flat on his head the other half stood up in random places; his sleep filled violet orbs glazed and puffy.

Ryou's large milk chocolate orbs blinked at the petite guardian. He lowered his voice to prevent Bakura from hearing, "Uh..Yugi, when was the last time you slept? I've never seen a guardian sleep for two days."

Yugi sat on the couch next to Ryou holding his head within his hands, "Thirty..no..," the petite guardian thought; "Forty five years." He whispered back to Ryou.

"Wow. I try to sleep once every decade at least," the silver haired guardian whispered.

"I don't have time to sleep that often. Wait! Did you say two days? I've been asleep for two days?" Yugi squeaked as he stood. He regained his momentarily lost composure. The guardian cleared his throat, "Where is Yami?"

"He is taking a shower," Bakura handed Yugi a cup of coffee before disappearing into the hallway; heading in the direction of his room.

"Thank you for the coffee and for watching over Yami for me," Yugi took a sip of the strong black caffeinated liquid.

"You are welcome. He's been worried about you since you've been passed out for two days. He has also been asking a lot of questions. I didn't want to tell him anything without you. I told him to wait until you woke up and ask you his questions," Ryou smiled at his fellow guardian.

"I appreciate that," Yugi whispered.

"What do you think we should do now?" Ryou asked reaching over to Yugi and fixing the buttons on his shirt.

"I am not sure, but I think we may need to tell Bakura about everything and I think you are right. We need to call them," Yugi downed the last of his coffee in a single gulp.

"What do you want to do first?" the albino guardian asked curiosity raging through him.

"We'll wait for Yami to get out of the shower, answer his questions, and tell Bakura. After that, we call.." Yugi sighed, "them."

"Good plan," Ryou smiled; his soft angelic features prompting the violet eyed guardian to smile as well.

Bakura lit a cigarette and took a long puff before his dark chocolate eyes rested on Yugi and Ryou, "What did you want to tell me?" he asked, the smoke cascaded from his lips as he spoke.

"You're up first, Ryou," Yugi nodded.

"Bakura, I am.." the silver haired angle bit his lip as he slowly approached look-a-like, "I am a guardian angel." Bakura did not react beyond taking another drag from his cigarette. Ryou arched a silver eyebrow, "Did you hear me?"
