Chapter One: Your Wish Is...
Long ago, there were several different creatures. In this time, there were three realms as well.
Paradise, Earth, and Hell.
Paradise was home to the gods and the departed souls of the righteous and good-hearted. It was a strong and wonderful place where souls gained eternal rest and happiness. Many people pleaded for Paradise.
Earth was the home to the humans, lesser beings with no magical abilities, except for their power to hope. Some said that when humans died, they went to Paradise and trained to be a god as well.
And finally, there was Hell.
Hell was the opposite of Paradise. It was a place for demons, banished gods (known as Dark Gods), and the souls of the damned and wretched. It was a firey place, where most beings were evil, but there were several demons who listened to reason and did not attack.
Of these creatures were the ones known as the gods.
Gods were beings who possessed celestial powers, most of them over the elements. Gods bore emblems on their heads that usually showed their magical or spiritual status. The sharper the edges were, the stronger you were.
Gods possessed beings within their souls called angels. An angel was obtained when a god reached a certain age. The angel was a mirror image of a god's true power and inner soul, therefore, if the angel was evil, then the god was evil as well.
The opposites to the gods were the demons.
The demons, like the gods, were beings who possessed dark powers, also controlling elements. Like the gods, demons bore symbols on their fore-heads, but they were almost all the same, two small lines forming a red V.
The demons, like the gods, also harbored creatures in their souls. These creatures were called devils. Like their counterparts, the angels, they reflected their owner's true powers and soul. If the devil was evil, then the demon was as well.
For a long time, demons and gods fought against one another.
It was a feuding battle, and many of them were killed off. Finally, the ruler of Hell(1) and the ruler of Paradise(2), got together and decided to end the feud against one another by taking several of their descendants and causing special fusions.
This fusion was called the 'Bonding Law'.
The bonding law stated that high-class gods and demons, were to be selected and given a bond. Or rather, a life-line.
Therefore, if the god was killed, the demon was as well, and the wars would resume.
Scared to start any more wars and to kill one of their own, the demons, who did not know who was bonded with who, did not kill the gods, and the gods did not kill any of the demons, for fear of starting a war and killing one of their own.
Many of the bonders were children of the ruler of Paradise, but one was a hybrid; half god-half demon.
The Ruler, the father of this hybrid, wished to terminate him immediatly before he was born, but the mother, a demon (as well as the daughter of the Ruler of Hell) demanded him not to.
Realizing that killing off the unborn child would cause a war with the Ruler of Hell, since it was his grandson and a royal heir, the Ruler of Paradise allowed the hybrid to be born.
He tore him from Hell and raised him as a god, never revealing that he had once wished to kill him.
The Ruler then had six more children with different wives. Each of these ones were pure gods, and all his seven children grew around one another and were treated as blood brothers.
Each of his sons bonded with a demon, fusing a life-line so that if they were killed, the demons they bonded with were killed as well. This prevented war for many years, nearly 2000.
However, one of his sons fell in love with his bonder, and together, they commited the most sinful act of all.
They tried to create a child.
There was already one hybrid, and with that hybrid's abilities needing to be sealed away, for fear that he could start a war on either side, the god and the demon were sentanced to never see one another again.
They refused and snuck out to see one another. Eventually, it came to a time when the baby was to be born soon.
The ruler of Paradise grew angry with this union, especially since the god bearing the child was his own blood son, the one whom he held the closest to his heart out of most of his children.
He demanded that his son terminate the child the moment it was born, but he refused.
As the Ruler rose, the demon spoke forward, which was never done in the Paradise Council. He demanded that their child be allowed to have life, but the ruler would not have it.
As an act of rage, he terminated the baby, horribly wounding his own son.
The demon, in a fit of rage and hatred, made an attack on the Ruler. He was a high-level demon, so he was able to cause a bit of damage, but the Ruler took his incolence and forced his hand.
Rather than destroying him, he had better ideas.
He stripped the demon of his powers, his memories, everything. He transformed the high-level being into a human, and then sent him to earth, where he would be reborn and live out his days mortal.
And only when the god he had loved kissed him again would his powers return.
But the Ruler kept his son under close guard, never allowing him to go to earth to see the mortal whom he had been in love with when he was a demon.
But, the time for that demon to return...
Has begun.

"Geez! Work sucks!"
Yami Sennen stormed down the street in the rain. It was only lightly sprinkling, but it had been pouring before, and now, Yami was covered head to toe in the cold water. He sputtered and coughed.
"This reeks. But I have no choice. I live all alone after all," he sighed.
Truth be told, Yami had lived alone ever since he was 14 years old, getting jobs so that he could keep his small shrine-like house. He didn't like to seem like a charity case, so he avoided getting assistance as much as possible.
But that just made things harder for him.
"Ra," Yami sighed. He stopped and leaned against a wall, where a mirror was. He sighed and rubbed his head.
"I wish there was some way to make all this easier," he said.
Suddenly, as if answering his question, the mirror behind him started glowing. Yami whirled around and watched as a figure emerged half-way from the mirror, his torso and head coming free.
The boy looked very similiar to Yami.
His hair was spiked black and red with soft blonde bangs, and his eyes were wide, adorable, an amethyst color. He was dressed in red, white, and blue clothing that looked like clothing from Egypt or Africa, ever festive and bright.
Around his head was a wrap, like a scarf, also a blue color. Around his throat was a golden pendant, like an upside-down puzzle, and on his forehead and cheeks were three narrow blue diamond-shapes.
The boy looked down to Yami, still in the mirror, and his eyes lit up.
"Yami..." he whispered. Yami stared as tears filled the boy's eyes.
The boy launched himself at Yami and grabbed him around the waist, drawing himself close. He sobbed into Yami's chest and held him as if he hadn't seen him in a million years.
"Yami, I found you!"

Yami stared at the boy wrapped around his waist.
The boy was sobbing and crying, whispering that he had finally found Yami after all these years. Yami placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and carefully pried him back, a frown on his lips.
"Who... are you?" he asked.
The boy's eyes went wide, and he shuddered. More tears seemed to fall from his purple eyes.
"Y-you don't... remember me? How could you not- Oh... What Father did must still be in effect," he whispered. Yami frowned and placed his other hand on the boy's shoulders. He looked into the boy's eyes.
"What are you talking about?" he asked. The boy frowned.
"My name is Yugi Mouto. And I'm a god, one of the sons of the Ruler of Paradise," he stated.
Yami stared for a few moments before shaking his head slowly from side to side. He sneered and thought that one of his friends was trying to play a trick on him, and he was not going to fall for it.
"Fine. If you're a god," he said with a laugh.
"Then I wish for you to stay by my side for eternity," he said. Yami then turned away, knowing that nothing was going to happen and that 'Yugi' or whatever his name was would go away once he figured that Yami couldn't be fooled.
Suddenly, a white light hit Yami's back.
"W-what in the-!?" he shouted. Yugi was surrounded by a white light, and once it vanished, he collapsed forward. Yami gasped and caught the boy in his arms, staring down at him.
"H-Hey! Hey, are you all right?" he shouted. Yugi stayed unconscious and didn't respond.
Yami looked to the skies as the rain started falling a bit harder. He looked down to Yugi and then sighed.
"What have I done?" he asked aloud.
Ignoring his guilt, he carried Yugi towards his house.

Me: Well, this is bad! What exactly has Yami done? (1+2) No, it's not God and the Devil. They are not in this story. This is a whole 'nother type of Heaven and Hell.
