A/N: Side-title: "Twisted Yin and Yang." What happens when Neko-chan takes the angel and demon theme and decides to write it HER way? Why; this story, of course! LOL! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it!

WARNING: Hints of Kaiba*Yami and Kaiba*Yuugi, Kaiba/Jyou, Yami Bakura/Ryou, and Yami/Yuugi. (Just to let you know--these are the pairings/hints that will be taking place all throughout the story. ...just not yet.) Anyway, enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: Blackie-chan!!

BM: Neko-chan, MUST you call me that???

...of course, Blackie-chan! *pokes Black Magician* Anyway, go and do your job! Say the disclaimer! *innocent grin* ... Heh. D

BM: *sighs* Neko-chan doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, its characters, and didn't come up with this theme. She did, however, come up with this particular idea and she hopes you like it. ... There. I'm done.

... *evil grin* Domo arigatou, Blackie-chan! *turns Black Magician into a plushie and huggles him*





Chapter One

The sky was swirling darkness above him--no light managed to come through that oblivious abyss. In fact, the only light provided was from geysers of fire and lava. And that light was a flickering one, unsteady and undependable. He hated it.

"Prince? What are you looking at? You've been standing at the window for hours on end, just... Looking up at the sky. What is on your mind?" Seto Kaiba asked as he stepped into the dark room, moving aside the silk curtain as he did so.

The figure at the window didn't turn around. Instead, he just smiled bittersweet smile. "Nothing. I wasn't looking at anything. I was just...thinking. I wish this war was finally over. I'm tired of it and I just want it to end." He paused and bit his lower lip. "Sometimes... Well, sometimes..."

Kaiba titled his head to one side, his dark blue eyes shadowed. "Nani, Prince? You can tell me. I'm your closest advisor. Anything you tell me will never go beyond this room. So tell me."

"Well... Sometimes I wonder if I should have been born to the other side..." came the whispered answer. The figure finally turned around and snapped out his gold-highlighted black wings. They were huge--and seemed so much more so since the owner of the pair of wings was so very small.

Yuugi tilted his head to one side, copying Kaiba's gesture, and smiled slightly. "Sometimes I wonder why I wasn't born an angel."





A/N: Gaaaaaaah... Hai, hai, hai~~I _know_! Unbelievably short chapter! But... 1) All of my first chapters are short. 2) It's a teaser. And 3) I want to know if I should continue. Votes? Yes or No! Onegai...?
