My Little One

Chapter 1-

"Run!" I heard Malik yell at us, Yugi, Joey, and me, Ryou.

We had just escaped Palace, where these people, scientists, turned us into these things. They said that they turned us into God like creatures, Angels. Well, at least them, Joey, Yugi and Malik. To them, I had been a failure. I was supposed to be killed tonight, but we had escaped before that could happen and are running away now. I knew this, that I was supposed to be killed, but the others did not.

"Ah!" I heard Yugi scream, breaking my train of thoughts. I stopped and looked behind me and saw him on the ground trying to get back up from falling, but failing dramatically.

"Joey!" I yelled for him and rushed to aid Yugi.

Joey ran back to us in a fast hurry. He nodded picked Yugi up in a princess style way.

"Guys!" Malik called at us from up ahead. "Hurry up! They're on our tails!" I looked back behind us and sure enough they were there, barely visible behind the trees.

Joey and I started running in the same direction we already were, not knowing our destination at all, with Malik leading us. I heard howling behind us. I could feel my breath becoming short. My legs were becoming sorer with every step. I looked at Malik and Joey. They looked the same as I. As we ran, I heard sticks cracking and could feel branches brush across me.

We ran in a clearing and then all of a sudden, Malik stopped running. Joey and I stopped as well. "What's the matter?" I asked.

"Damn it!" Malik screamed staring downward.

"Oh no," I said. We were standing on a cliff. A cliff above water. Which water, we don't know.

"Joey, let me down," Yugi said. Joey hesitated, but did so anyway.

"There they are!" I heard shouting behind us and I looked back. The people that were chasing us were already in the clearing.

"What are we going to do?" I asked shakily as I turned my head back around. I heard a fluttered sound and saw Yugi's wings out. The feathers were a color of a light blue. Almost a white if seen in broad daylight. "Oh," I said. We're going to fly.

Malik and Joey did the same, and so did I. Malik's wings were a light tan color. Almost the color of his skin, but a lot lighter. Joey's were a blond color. A watered out blond. Mine were white. The same color as my hair.

Yugi limped his way to the edge of the cliff and fell off. We followed and then flew.

"Damn it!" I heard the people yell and then I heard a loud bang and another. The next thing I knew, I was falling from the pain in both my wings. I screamed. Then I heard Malik yell my name as my world went black.

~o.O.o~

I shot up panting. It has been three days since we escaped. I had fainted that night and in the morning, we had looked at our wounds. Yugi's right ankle was swollen so we came to the conclusion that it was either broken or sprained. My wings were worse though. Instead of its usually white, it had turned a deep crimson due to my blood. And they said it wouldn't have stopped bleeding after I fainted. We didn't know what happened to make them like this.

We were still in the forest and were resting by a big tree that we stumbled upon. I was sitting on the ground to catch my breath. Then Malik came and kneeled down to be at eye level with me.

"Ryou," Malik said. "Can you withdraw you wings?" I tried, but winced in pain. "Damn it!"

"What are we going to do?" Yugi asked.

"I don't know," Malik said. "Any ideas, Ryou?" I shook my head. "Joey?" and Joey nodded. "Well?"

Then he pointed up with his index finger. We all looked up and saw some fruits hanging down from the tree.

"Oh," I said. I was feeling a little hungry.

Malik sighed and shook his head. "You and food, Joey. Well, how do you suggest we get them?"

"We could always fly," Yugi suggested. "Or climb."

"All right then," Malik said. "I'll climb it." Malik then got up and started for the fruit.

"So what do you suppose we do?" I asked. "It's very unlikely that we well come across anyone in here and even if we do, I doubt they will willingly help us knowing that there will be freaks under their roof."

"Now, what makes you say that they would find out?" Yugi said. I moved my wings a little bit. "Oh."

"I'm sorry guys." I said. "It's my fault because I can't withdraw my wings."

'Don't say that,' Joey said telepathically. Joey could not speak like the rest of us. In fact, can't make any noises from his mouth at all and was thankfully gifted with the ability of telepath from when he was experimented on. 'Who knows? Maybe there's someone willing. And it's not your fault. It just happened.'

"He's right," Malik said from up above us. "It just happen, and here. Catch." Malik said as he dropped the red fruit. We caught a few and then Malik jumped down. "We have to keep moving. We don't want them to catch us if they're still even following us." Malik said dusting dirt off his gown.

We all have gowns, or that what the scientist called them. Malik's gown was the same color of his wings, a little lighter, though, which looked nice against his skin. Yugi's was a blue, light, but not the same color of his wings. Mine were also white like my hair and wings. Well, used to be all the same, but now had red soaked in some places around my back where my wings would be if I could withdraw them. Joey's gown was a light green.

'We need to find water.' Joey said. 'We're going to need to clean the wounds on your wings. '

"Yeah, I got that." Malik said. "Come on." I got up and Joey picked Yugi up on his back. Then we followed Malik into the forest eating fruit.

A little into our walk, we found a river. "Ok," Malik said. "We found the river. Now what?"

'Come on Ryou,' Joey said. 'Let's get your wings cleaned up.' With that Joey set Yugi on a rock and went over to the river. I followed and sat down with my wings to Joey. I turned my head to Joey and moved my hair to the left on my chest. Then I heard a tearing sound and saw that Joey had ripped a piece of his gown's sleeve and was putting it in the water. Then he took the cloth out and drained it of its water. 'I don't really know anything about medical treatment so I don't know if it'll hurt if I do this. Sorry,' Joey said in advance.

Then he put the cloth to my left wing. He glided over the feather and dipped it back in the water. Then he drained it and repeated the process over again a few times. After a few moments, I winced in pain when Joey glided the cloth over a part in my wing.

'I'm sorry,' Joey said. 'I'll try to be more careful in this area.' And with that he dipped the cloth in the water again.

Then I heard a sigh and another tearing sound and looked over to where it was. I saw that Malik had torn a piece of his sleeve as well. "We'll never get going at this pace," he said as he copied Joey's motions and started on my left wing at the edge which caused me to wince. "Sorry, Ryou."

'Looks like we will have to be careful in those areas,' Joey said.

"Yeah," Malik agreed.

"Waa-humph!" I heard Yugi yell. I looked over to him and found him on the ground. "Ha, oops." He got on his knees and started crawling over to where we were, stopping every few steps when he hurt his ankle. "I was feeling left out," he said when he got to us.

"Wouldn't blame you," I said with a small smile.

Yugi returned the smile, then said "is there anything I can do to help?" to the two behind me.

"Not really," Malik said. "You could braid Ryou's hair if you want."

"Oh…" Yugi said disappointed and went for my hair.

It was a little while before I heard something. It sounded like leaves rustling.

"Did you guys hear that?" I asked them.

Then it happened again. I felt Malik and Joey get up from behind me. "Who's there?" Malik yelled.

Silence came for a minute then came a lot of rustling to our left. We turned our heads that way, but I felt like I was falling. Then I hit the water. "Stay, Ryou," I heard Yugi say. The water wasn't very deep and the current wasn't very strong either, just enough to basically hide me.

I looked up to where an old man was. He had Yugi's same hair style, just gray. He wore a hat and had purple eyes, almost the same as Yugi's, but duller. And probably the same height as me.

"Ah. Sorry if I scared you." The man said. "My name is Sugoroku Mutou. I was just wondering what you were doing out here. Mind me asking."

"We do and would appreciate if you would leave us alone," Malik said growling.

"Don't be mean," Yugi said turning to Malik. He got up, putting weight on his left foot and faced the ma- Sugoroku, back faced to me. "Hello," he said. "I'm Yugi. This is Joey," pointing his had in Joey's direction, "this is Malik," same motion as Joey, but said with a tone of annoy. "We're a little lost. Could you help us-?"

"-Wait! We don't know if we can trust him." Malik said lowly, but had a death tone to it. He had his hand on Yugi's arm.

"Joey? What do you think?" Yugi said as he turned his head to my direction. Joey nodded his head. "See? Even Joey thinks so," Yugi said turning his head back to the m-Sugoroku.

"Well," Sugoroku said. "You're a long way from being lost then. Well I could show you the way back, but it'll take a day or two."

"No, it's ok. You don't need to show us. Just point at the direction and we will be on our way."

"No. I insist. And besides I was going back anyway."

"Do you think we should?" Yugi asked whispering to us turning his head to us.

'I think we can,' Joey said. 'He doesn't have any connections with the palace, and seems to be nice. Plus we have nothing to lose.'

"Yeah. Our lives and secrets," Malik said.

"We'll go." I said getting up.

"Ryou!" Yugi said.

"Oh my," Sugoroku said. "You're soaking wet! We need to get you dried off or you'll get a cold!"

"What…?" Malik said.

'He's hiding his wings behind him, that's why Sugoroku can't see them,' Joey said.

"Oh…" Yugi said.

'And it's hurting him.'

"Ryou!" Yugi said. "You're still injured! Stop! Please!" Yugi said as I got out of the water.

"Injured?!" Sugoroku said. "Where? Is it bad? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

I grabbed my hair and started draining it of the water in it. "No." I replied to his questions. "It's nothing serious."

"Damn right it's not!" Malik bursted out. A silence filled the air beside the slight hum of birds. "…Oops."

"Malik!" Yugi said.

"What? Where is it? We need to treat it as sound as possible."

"Joey? What do we do?" I asked worriedly. He didn't say anything. "Joey?" I said turning my head to him.

'Tell him.'

"What?!" Malik said. "But why?"

'We can trust him!'

"Mr. Sugoroku." I said. "Um…well… here. I'm injured here." I said as I pulled my wings from the painful position I had put them in.

I heard Sugoroku gasp. "Are those real?" he asked. I nodded. It was silent for a moment, but Sugoroku broke the silence. "Where are you injured exactly?" he asked as he stepped closer to us. I turned around. "Oh no! You've been shot!"

"Shot? What does that mean?" Yugi asked.

"It means you need medical treatment," Sugoroku said "How long have you been like this?"

"Um… three days?" I said. I turned my head around to look at him. He had his hand up and suddenly I felt pain on my wing and whimpered.

"Your wings are most probably infected. We better get you to a hospital, but not a normal one." He said as I turned around. "Normal people don't have wings, so if they see them, they'll take you to be experimented on." I shivered once I heard that.

"Experimented! Why would they do that?" Malik shouted.

"Humans don't really like things they don't know about so much. They would really do anything to find out."

"Oh…"

"Follow me," Sugoroku said. "I think I know a place, but it'll take about a day to go there. So it'll be tomorrow afternoon if we leave right now."

"Ok." I said. I turned around and saw Joey that had picked Yugi up. Should I tell him about Joey? I don't know.

I turned around and saw Yugi upon Joeys back. 'I'll tell him,' Joey said in a response to my thought.

'Well if you ok with that, though I assume that we'd freak him out,' I told him with my mind.

"Ok, let's go," Sugoroku said turning around back the way we can from. We followed by him.

"Who's this person we're going to meet?" Malik asked.

"Her name is Ishizu.

~o.O.o~

The sky had become dark by the time Sugoroku had us take a break.

"We'll stop here for the night, ok?"

"I… guess," Malik said looking around.

"Oh my! I only have one tent! How are we going to do this?"

"Um…Sugoroku?" Yugi asked.

"Yes?"

"What's a tent?"

"…Oh. Well… How do I explain this? A tent is a… It's something you sleep in at night to protect you when you out of your house."

"Oh…" Malik said after hearing this. "Well, we will be ok," he said as he picked me up and brought out his wings. "Well be up there." He said before jumping and flying to a branch of the tree. The others followed his example.

"You sure you'd be ok up there?" Sugoroku asked.

"Yep!" Yugi said.

Malik had flew us very high, so high that I would not have gone if my wings were not 'shot'. Joey and Yugi settled down a little ways under us.

"Goodnight, Malik," I said as we got comfortable. "Goodnight guys!"

"Night," Malik said.

"Goodnight," Yugi said.

'Finally! Nighties.' Joey said in his weird way.
