"Master Yugi?" Isis settled back onto his hand. "What happened?"
"My heart and my eyes were damaged from the attack," Yugi replied softly. "They transplanted Heba's into me along with his wings. Kami-sama gave me a choice. Either accept that Heba was dead or live as a duality angel with him."
"Two souls in one body," Isis breathed. "But what does that mean for Ishizu and me?"
"You both have the same Master now," Yugi replied. "You answer to whichever of us has control of my body at the time."
"Where's Ishizu then?" She watched as Yugi closed his eyes, fascinated by the change in wing colour from white to black.
Opening his rich purple eyes, he said "I will locate her, Isis."
"Master Heba!" Isis took flight as Heba left the room and headed down the hall to his old bedroom. He paused and stared at what was once the guest bedroom.
"I'm glad," Heba said picking up a nearby photo of Yami and Atemu. Atemu had his arms wrapped around Yami with the two sharing a kiss. "I was afraid they would be sad for a long time after we disappeared." He put the photo back down and continued on.
Isis paused staring at a linen cupboard that sat between Yugi and Heba's old rooms. Yami and Atemu could see the curious fairy through the wood slats.
"Isis," Heba called and they watched as he walked back to the fairy. "Something wrong?"
"There's something in there," she said trying to determine what the something was.
"Human or demon?"
"Not sure…" Isis looked up at Heba. "What should we do?"
"If it is human, it doesn't want to be seen and I don't want to push the issue. If it is a demon, I'll deal with it once we find Ishizu."
"As you wish Master," Isis said following him into his old bedroom.
Yami and Atemu breathed a sigh of relief. They listened to Heba and Ishizu speaking to each other before they left the room and stopped once again outside the cupboard.
"What do you think Ishizu?" Heba asked quietly.
"It is difficult to describe…" Ishizu brushed her storm blue dress that looked identical to Isis'. "Its dark but not demonic."
Heba said nothing before blinking in confusion. "Heaven's Light?" It was clear that he wasn't talking to the faries. "I can't use it, Yugi. You will have to."
After a quick switch, Yugi stepped back from the cupboard. He raised his left hand up to the sky and raised his right, palm facing out in front of him towards the cupboard.
"Light of the Heavens," Yugi called, his hands glowing a pale purple. "Filter through this house and draw evil out into the light. Twin pulses of light flowed out from Yugi as if to slice down anything evil.
"Nothing," Ishizu said looking at the cupboard.
"Then it is human," Yugi said softly. He looked at the cupboard sadly before a roar was heard from downstairs. "That…"
"Downstairs?" Isis asked flying up into Yugi's hair in fright.
"Well.." Yugi sighed and summoned his sais. "Let's hope it is a common demon. Anything stronger and I'm not going to be in for a good time." He headed downstairs.
Yami and Atemu snuck out of the cupboard and down the stairs. They paused when they heard Yugi's voice again.
"Isis! Fly to Heaven and get either Michael-sama or Gabriel-sama!" The fairy shot off out the window like a rocket. Yugi stepped back in preparation, his sais up in a defensive stance. "I'm so in trouble. That is a fully grown Demon of Sorrow. I should of expected one here… Just not so big!"
Yami and Atemu watched the midnight blue demon, easily three times Yugi's height, unfurl his leathery wings and tower over the little hikari. Fingering their puzzles, they decided it was time to act.
