The Children of Heaven and Hell
Summary: What if the child of an angel and the child of a demon were switched around at birth. If a gorgeous blond haired, blue eyed boy was born to demons, while a dark haired and dark eyed boy was born to the angels? Is fate just cruel, or does she have something in mind for our two boys?

In a far away land of darkness and chaos, everyone was on a rampage towards the palace of the ruler of such a dark place. Hell was the name of the place in which such dark and vile creatures resided in that resembled their home. Every demonic creature imaginable was making their way to the palace of the Devil himself. What purpose was there to go? A child was being born.
Screams of agony echoed throughout the entire premises. The legitimate wife of the Devil was currently in labor with their first male heir. She was in a fit of distress because of the pain she was in from the contractions that were starting to have less periods of time in between them, which meant the time for her child's delivery was getting closer.
"Son of a bitch", came the cry from the small woman writhing in the bed she was confined to at the time. Her short black hair was plastered to her face and her forehead was slick with sweat. Her cheeks were flushed and her teeth were gritted in frustration.
Around the small woman were various other people. They were rushing about the room, preparing everything for when the baby arrived. There was a male and a female beside the young woman.
The male had short black hair that was spiked in the back, perhaps related to the female. He was dressed in soldier like clothing. "Calm down, Yuffie-chan", he said, a small smile on his face, "Just breathe and relax..."
"You try being the one in labor, you asshole", the small woman, Yuffie by name, growled in pure annoyance at the man, "It ain't the easiest thing in the damned world!!! So put a sock in it Zack!!!!"
Zack put up his hands in submission, taking a step back from her wrath and bad mood. He knew far better then to mess with a pissed off Yuffie. He had gotten his fair share of bruises from her when he pissed her off.
The woman who sat beside him was a great deal younger then the man. She had long dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was rather pretty looking. She smiled fondly at Yuffie and patted the young woman's hand. "There, there, Aunt Yuffie", she said with a smile, "It'll be all right. No need to make a fuss about it..."
Yuffie huffed in annoyance. "I would partially feel better if I was allowed to see my husband", she said in an annoyed tone, "Where is he?"
"I'm afraid of what you'd do to the poor guy", Zack said with a sweat drop, and backed away as soon as Yuffie sent a hateful glare at him.
"He's outside", the young woman said sweetly, "He's pacing around outside actually... More of brooding about, waiting for news..."
Yuffie gave a sigh. "Thank you, Tifa", she said, then winced and yelped as the contractions started up again, "Dammit!!! This thing had better make its way out here very soon or so help me I will kill someone..."
"Just as long as it isn't any of us, that's fine", Zack said with a grin.
"If you don't shut up, it just might be you that I'll be killing", Yuffie hissed at him.
"Temper, Yuffie", said a man who walked into the room. He had similar hair to Zack's, though not spiked in the back. He had a slightly stern look. He was also dressed similarly to Zack.
"Yes, daddy dearest", Yuffie said rolling her eyes at her father, "I'll quit as soon as this thing is out of me."
The man gave a deep sigh. "Now I understand why Vincent is staying outside", he muttered under his breath.
"And now you see why I always had bruises as a child", Zack commented, "Anyways, hi Angeal. Having a lovely day?"
"At one point I was", Angeal said quietly, "But then my troops put me in a sour mood..."
"I see it's still being carried on", Zack said with a grim smile, "Try not to kill anyone please... Not on your grandchild and my nephew's day of birth... I'm going to have so much fun with this kid!"
"I can tell you now, you're not teaching him anything", Yuffie hissed at Zack, "I don't trust you enough to..."
"Aw, that hurts", Zack said with a mock pout, "You don't even trust your own brother..."
"Of course not", Yuffie said rolling her eyes, "Who would?"
Tifa giggled softly as Zack shook his fist at his younger sister with a glare. Angeal rolled his eyes at the scene and swiftly left the room saying something about keeping Vincent company. After the older man left, Yuffie let out another howl as the contractions started up again.
Angeal exited the room to find the ruler of hell pacing before him in a swift, yet calm manner. Crimson eyes turned to Angeal studied him for a moment. Long black hair flowed down the man's back. He wore all black clothing, besides the blood red mantle he wore that covered the lower portion of his face and the headband that held his hair back out of his face.
"How is she", the man asked quietly.
"Fine, but in a bad mood", Angeal said with a sigh, "It's better for you if you just stay out here, Vincent..."
Vincent simply nodded slightly. He was silent for a moment before asking his next question. "Has she said anything of the prophecy", he asked quietly.
"Nothing so far", Angeal said with a shake of his head, "Let's hope that old seer has just gone senile..."
Vincent gave a soft sigh. "Let us only hope", he said softly.

At the same time, in a much brighter and more cheerful place, the same sort of predicament was happening. Though, instead of hideous creatures moving about, it were the gorgeous creatures of light, or the Angels frolicking about the heavens. Everyone was waiting for news on the new child being born.
Two particular angels were flying quickly to where the baby was being born. One was shorter than the other, thinner, and rather scrawny looking. Fiery red hair was pulled back into a long ponytail. Two twin scars were under his bright blue eyes. He wore a suit like outfit, though with no tie.
The other angel was quite the contrast to the redhead. This one was bald with a slight goatee and wearing sunglasses. He was quite bulky and muscled. Earrings littered his ears. He wore a similar outfit to the angel flying beside him but with the tie.
Both males landed near a rather large home and proceeded to enter. Cries of pain filled the area. The redhead winced slightly as the two walked further into the building. Nearby, a man sat in a chair, long black hair combed neatly back. He wore an outfit similar to that of the other two and had a gem like thing in the middle of his forehead between his eyes.
"How's she doing", the redhead asked curiously and softly.
The black haired man sighed. "She's holding up, but not that well", he replied, "She's in a lot of pain right now... The contractions are getting less time in between, so the process is moving to the next phase soon..."
The redhead gave a light nod and a sigh as he leaned against the wall. The bald headed one leaned against the wall beside him. The redhead looked up thoughtfully for a moment.
"Hey… Tseng?... Do you think Elena will make it through", he asked softly.
"I'm not sure", the black haired one, Tseng said softly, "But don't worry about her, Reno... She's strong and she can handle herself... She'll find a way to pull through..."
Reno nodded slightly. "So where's Rufus", he asked.
"With Elena", Tseng replied, "Though he's probably going to get kicked out soon enough... You and Rude might want to go find him and attempt to cheer him up..."
"Will do", Reno said with a mock salute and a half grin as he and Rude began to walk off down the hallway to attempt to find their blond headed boss.
The two eventually did find their boss, and he was in a state of mild distress, pacing repeatedly back in forth, face contorted in one of serious concentration. He raked his finger through his blond hair and heaved an annoyed sigh.
"Yo, boss, ya' look like shit", Reno commented with a smirk as he and Rude made their way over to the disheveled blond.
Rufus shot Reno a nasty glare. "Thanks", he said sarcastically, "Just what I needed to hear Reno..."
"No problem", Reno said with a bright grin, "Glad to be of help!"
Rufus rolled his eyes and continued pacing back and forth. He once again gained a focused look of concentration.
"You're gonna' wear holes in the floor if you keep that up", Reno said with a sweat drop as he and Rude watched Rufus pace.
"I don't care", Rufus grumbled, "I'm worried as hell..."
"Don't worry about Elena", Reno said with a smile, "She and the baby will be fine..."
"It's not them I'm worried so much about", Rufus said, voice quieting down quite a bit, "I'm worried about that prophecy that seer was talking about..."
"Prophecy", Reno asked, a red eyebrow rising curiously, "What are you talkin' about, yo?"
Rufus gave a heavy sigh. "Not long ago, a seer was brought here to tell us how our child would turn out", he said softly, and albeit a bit fearfully, "We were hoping the child would be a good heir... Though it is supposed to be, there is also another thing the seer said... She told us that the child born to us now was going to be one of two children born this day... And that the two born would one day be the greatest rulers in history and they would be the two that would eventually unite the worlds..."
Reno rubbed the back of his head. "Well, that's good isn't it", he asked, a confused look on his face.
"That isn't all of it", Rufus said quietly.
Reno stiffened. "Go on", he said.
Rufus glanced around and made sure no one was listening or anywhere near them. "The seer also said that our child is no angel, but a demon", he said darkly.
"What", Reno said a bit loudly, to which Rude nudged him a bit to quiet him down. Reno placed a hand over his mouth, but removed it a moment later, voice quieting down as he asked, "A demon?! How is this possible?!"
"I honestly don't know", Rufus said with a sigh, "I'm afraid of the seer's prediction being correct... I don't know what it would do to Elena..."
Reno's look grew worried and sad. "Let's hope the seer was wrong", he said, "Elena would be crushed if she had to raise a demon child..."
Rufus nodded and more cries of pain filled the air, to which all three men winced.
In heaven and hell, two places so opposite they hate each other, the children sent to change the world were being born. The cries of the mothers increased as the baby was pushed out of the womb. The nurses along side the two mothers cried as soon as they saw the babies. When both mothers took a hold of their children, they both let out a cry of pure agony. Yuffie cursed the heavens while Elena cursed the underworld. Then they cursed the fates for all they were worth.
Read and Review Dears. I'd like to know what people think about my idea. And honestly, don't ask where these ideas of mine come from. This happens to be nothing compared to future stories I have in the writing process. Anyways, my overactive brain aside, I'd like to know if this is something people will actually read.
