Hi, my name is Silver and I actually wrote this fanfic quite a while ago but this is my first time publishing anything on so be nice okay? It's a shounen-ai/yaoi piece and yeah... Sorry, but I'm not very good at explaining things u Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story and review at the end
1- Language: Not too bad. It's like you've ever heard of these words before. I think the only bad words that I can think of that I didn't use were Fck and Btch. Everything else I think I did. Oh and I used Japanese words too. I'm trying to build up my vocabulary so yeah; you'll see a couple of Japanese words here and there.
2- Lemon/ Lime: Eh heh... I don't think so. I mean, I know most of the time fangirls come and read these shounen-ai/ yaoi for the lime/ lemon. (Well, at least I do...) The reason simply put is that I'm just starting out as a shounen-ai writer and I'm taking in things little by little. Gomen to all the people who wanted one. But maybe further down the road I'll start writing yaois.
3- Flaming: Oh Ra please no flaming! I'm begging you, please don't flame! I know I'm not a good writer and if you don't enjoy reading my stories then please just don't. You'll save yourself time and save me from having an emotional breakdown.
4- Text: Words in Italics means thoughts Words in Bold Italics means flashbacks ((If any that is...)) ((Words in double parenthesis mean my little comments and rants))
5- Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-OH, though I really wish I did! Alas though, Yu-Gi-Oh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi.

Chapter I: Do You Believe?
For over thousands and thousands of years, there exists a fierce battle that was fought between the demons of the underworld and the angels of the sky. Many were killed in the process and this war still continues to this day. But this story takes place somewhere else. Not in the fiery depths of Hell or the majestic skies of Heaven. Our story takes place in the heart of Domino City, Japan...
As the busy citizen's of Domino rushed to get to work on time, one teenager pushes his way through the crowd to make it to school promptly. His wild blonde hair flew as a forceful wind attempted to push him back but the teen just fought the wind and continued running.
He looked down at his watch with his hazel brown eyes and they widened, "Shimatta! There's absolutely no way now I can make it on time!" he shouted.
He then started to sprint, hoping that by some miracle he'll actually make it on time. Just as he was about to run the crosswalk, the walk signal turned red and a long back limo pulled up to where he was.
The blonde immediately knew who it belonged to and thought for a moment, "As much as I hate to ask this bastard for favors, I guess I really have no choice..."
He walked over to the passenger seat window and tapped on the window lightly, "Hey open up! I know you're in there!" he shouted, his tapping turning into a pounding.
The window rolled down, revealing a handsome young man with perfect chocolate brown hair and a pair of cold royal blue eyes.
"What do you want mutt?" he asked in a cold voice.
The blonde swallowed and took a stab at it, "Look Kaiba, as much I don't want to do anything with you, I was wondering if you could give me a ride to school", he asked quietly, bowing down politely and looking down at the ground, knowing that he was going to resent this later.
Kaiba smirked and placed his hand on the blonde head, "Such a poor puppy", he sympathized.
Just as the blonde was thinking that Kaiba was going to give him a ride, the brunette rolled up the window and drove away. The blonde sweat dropped and clenched his teeth in anger, "Ra damn you Kaiba!" he shouted in fury, the people on the street all turning their attention towards him.
Jounouchi sprinted his way to school as fast as his tired legs would let him and by the time he arrived, it was already 8:20. He walked to the principal's to get a late slip, which was no surprise since he was late almost every other day. He knocked on the principal's door and let himself in.
The principal turned around from his spinney chair and shook his head, "My, my Jounouchi. This is about the twelfth time this month!" he exclaimed, taking out a pad and a pen.
Jounouchi smiled weakly, "Gomen sensei", he apologized, "I'll try to be more prompt next time."
"You say that and yet you always end up being late anyway", the principal said, ripping out the small late slip from his pad, "You've got a good head on your shoulders Jounouchi demo I sometimes end up doubting it. You should try to be more like... Like Seto Kaiba", he lectured.
Jounouchi cringed at the sound of that name but he let out a convincing fake smile and nodded, "I'll try", he said, taking the piece of paper from the principal.
The old man nodded, "Well best be on your way Jounouchi. And, try to stay out of trouble okay?"
Jounouchi smiled, "I'll try", he repeated himself, stepping out of the office.
He walked to the class he was suppose to be in and once he stepped in, all heads turned to the blonde. The teacher shook her head, "Well, it's nice to see that you decided to join us today Jounouchi-san", she said in a harsh tone.
Jounouchi rolled his eyes as he handed the slip to the teacher at the desk. He walked to the back of the room and took his seat quietly next to a girl with earth brown hair and ocean blue eyes. Just as Jounouchi sat down, the girl next to him sighed, "Jounouchi, why do you always have to be late?" she asked him immediately.
The blonde rolled his eyes again, "Not now Anzu, please", he asked in an uninterested voice, indicating that this was not the time to be lecturing him.
Anzu nodded, "Alright, demo you're going to get it at lunch", she told him, causing Jounouchi to moan.
So for the rest of the school day, Jounouchi was scolded for several things: being late for school, forgetting his homework, falling asleep in class, and blowing up the chemistry lab for the sixth time in the past month. Jounouchi ran his hand through his wild hair and sighed despairingly, "Someone's out to get me... I just know it", he muttered, resting his head in his arms that were folded on the desk.
He turned his attention towards the window and stared up at the never ending clear blue sky. He smiled, "It'd be nice if I could just grow wings and get away from all of this..." he dreamed.
One boy stands on top a small hill in the middle of a serene grass covered field with splotches of colors given off by the beautiful flowers. The sun is shining and beaming its rays on the meadow below as well as the boy. The gentle breeze blows through, dancing with the flowers and softly flips the boy's snow white hair. He looks up at the sky with his shining chocolate brown eyes and while he has a tender smile on his face, he lets out a sad sigh.
"Yo Ry!" someone shouts off in the distance. The boy turns around and spots to bodies running towards him. One of them his rather small with spiky hair made up of the colors purple, black, and golden yellow, his large and bright eyes a violet color. The other one is much taller than the other boy with sandy blonde hair and narrow lavender eyes.
The boy named Ryou smiles genuinely at his friends, "Konnichiwa Yuugi-kun, Malik-kun", he greets them, walking towards them.
The small boy named Yuugi stops in front of Ryou and pants softly, "W-What are you... doing here... Ryou-kun...?" he asks through breaths, Malik walking behind him.
"Oh, I was just enjoying the scenery is all", he replied, "After all, this could be the last I'll see this place..." he said grimly.
Malik frowned, "Hey, don't say that Ry. I know things don't look good for the angels demo, it'll turn around", he told him reassuringly, "Just have faith."
Ryou nodded and Yuugi smiled, "Wow, you sure seem hopeful Malik. Usually, you're the one who's always saying that bad things will happen to the angels and that the demons will take over", he pointed out.
Malik smiled, "I guess so", he said, his smile turning into a smirk, "Demo, we have an ace up our sleeves boys", he told them mysteriously with a grin.
Ryou and Yuugi looked at each other and then at Malik, waiting for his explanation. Malik pulled out a piece of paper from his pant pocket and handed it to them. Ryou and Yuugi both held one end of the paper and read it to themselves quietly. As they got closer and closer to finishing the notice written on it, their eyes grew wider and wider until Yuugi let out an outburst, "Ra Almighty!"
"And they're sure about this? Are you sure it's not a mistake?" Ryou asked Malik with almost a sense of hope mixed with doubt in his voice.
Malik nodded, "Sure as sure, I swear to the Almighty one", he said.
Yuugi smiled slightly, "Then we really do have a chance to turn this battle around! All we have to do is find him and then we'll have a greater chance of victory!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"Then we'd best make preparations to see him tonight", Ryou decided on.
"I agree", Malik said, "It'll be good to find this guy fast before it's too late for Heaven."
"Wait though; does this boy know that he's the High Cleric of Ra?" Yuugi asked.
Ryou shook his head slowly, "I doubt it... There hasn't been a High Cleric for over five hundred years. That title would have surely been forgotten. Even the Almighty one doubted that that name still existed. Do you suppose it's just luck that that name still exists and that we were able to find him?"
Malik shrugged, "Don't ask me. Demo, whether it may be dumb luck or not, I'm taking it. We really don't have many options at this point. The demon army is slowly making its way up to Heaven, killing off angels one by one. If we don't awaken this one's powers soon, then it really will be too late."
Anzu walked down the hall after the final bell rang, setting the students free from the long school day. Just as she turned the corner, she spotted Jounouchi moping the floor lazily. "Jounouchi, do you have clean up duty again?" she asked him, remembering that he was on clean up duty just last week.
He shook his head, "Iie, this is part of my detention. After this, I have to write "I will not mix hazardous chemicals together and explode the chemistry lab" one hundred times on the board and type up a five page essay, single space mind you, on why doing you homework is important."
Anzu sweat dropped, "That's rough, demo, that is what you get for being so irresponsible", she preached in an 'I'm right and much for superior than you' sort of voice.
Jounouchi rolled his eyes, "Geez Anzu, you're starting to sound like that smug asshole Kaiba", he commented.
She smiled slightly at him, "Maybe, demo at least Kaiba doesn't ever get in trouble", she said as her parting words before she left, "Ja matte Jounouchi!"
"Ja ne Anzu", he after her, moping up the dirt spots on the floor. And after Jounouchi was finally all done giving the floors a good wash down and thought his job was finally over, the door he was standing next to opened and out stepped Kaiba onto the spotless hallway, his dirt covered shoes ruining all of Jounouchi's hard work.
Jounouchi's eyes shot open as he glared at the brunette with angry eyes. Kaiba glanced at the blonde and raised an eyebrow, "Why so mad mutt?" he asked.
Jounouchi growled and pointed to the floor, "You asshole! You ruined all of my hard work!"
Kaiba looked down at the floor and shrugged, "It's not that clean", he commented, "Look, you missed that spot over there, and there and there... and how the hell could you miss that?" he said, "I can even see that spot on the floor all the way over there", he said, pointing to the far corner at the end of the hall.
Jounouchi's annoyance was growing bigger and bigger with each passing comment and second, "Okay! I get it! Get off my back!" he shouted, "And what are doing here anyway?" he asked, wondering why Kaiba was still in school when it almost five, "Unless..." he thought out loud, "The all obedient Kaiba also got a detention!" he exclaimed with a grin on his face.
Kaiba smirked, "You wished Jounouchi", he said arrogantly, "Unlike you, being a juvenile delinquent and all, I'm on the Student Council committee and they needed by help", he informed him with superiority.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving", he said, walking pass the blonde.
Jounouchi glared at him and stuck his tongue out childishly while Kaiba had his back turn. "Shimatta I hate that guy..." he said to no one in particular, cleaning the floor again once he left. After what seemed like forever in Jounouchi's mind, he finally got all of his work done and was at last ready to leave.
He grabbed his book bag and got as far away as he could with his legs from the school. He checked his watch and it was already 6:30. He sweat dropped, "Man... I'm never going to be about to get all of this homework done..." he said out loud.
He looked at the already darkened sky sighed but his eyes light up, "Oh wait! If I take a shortcut through the park, I'll make it home and still have enough time to catch Yu-Gi-Oh!" ((A/N- Eh heh...))
And with the determination of not missing an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh, he headed towards the park. But when he reached there, he was having second thoughts. The park was dimly lighted by the street lights and the trees cased eerie shadows, an ominous and chilling wind sweeping through him, sending bad vibes through his body.
Jounouchi sweat dropped, "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..." he thought.
He checked his watch again and it was now 6:45. He had fifteen minutes to get home. He shook his head and put on a strong face, "Iie! This is not the time to be having doubts Jounouchi! This is just a stupid park, and besides, who would be wandering through the park at this time?" he asked himself, wandering into the recreational area.
Jounouchi kept his eyes ahead and was set on making it on time. When he saw the little bridge just a few meters ahead of him, he knew he was nearly half way there. Just as Jounouchi took a step, a dark figure walked into the street light, stopping him dead in his tracks.
The blonde couldn't really make out the figure's dark face but he did see a pair of evil looking eyes glimmering in the light shining down on the figure's blonde hair. Jounouchi swallowed, "Oh no! What if it's some weirdo that's gonna beat me up and steal my shoes!?" he exclaimed in his mind. ((A/N- coughGravitationcough))
He stepped back once, "Okay, if I make a break for it now, maybe I'll make it out alive..." he thought.
As he took further steps backwards, the figure extended his arm and was now pointing at the blonde. "Eep!" Jounouchi squeaked, now too scared to move.
"Yo guys, I found him", the figure called out.
"Oh shit! Now he's gonna send his goon squad on me!" the blonde thought immediately.
Two other figures stepped into the light but it wasn't what Jounouchi was thinking. One figure was short with spiky hair and dressed up in a white tunic and a pair of white pants and black sneakers. The other figure was definitely taller than the first with long hair and wearing a white gown that came down to their calves and white baggy pants under there with nice black dress shoes. And the figure in the middle was the tallest among the three, clothed in a white vase and white turtle neck with white pants and black shoes.
Jounouchi sweat dropped, "What the...? That doesn't look like any kind of gang... They look like church kids", he thought.
The three started approaching the blonde and Jounouchi was still scared what they might kill him right here and now. "Iie! Don't come any closer!" he shouted, his knees collapsing to the floor, "I know karate!"
But that didn't stop them. "Okay, okay, here's my wallet, just don't kill me!" he screamed with his eyes shut tight, throwing his wallet on the ground.
"Kill you? Why would we do that?" asked one of the three.
Jounouchi opened his eyes slowly and saw three faces staring down at him. The shortest one had the face of a child with his large and bright violet eyes and his brilliant smile. The one with long hair had a shy smile on and gentle looking chocolate brown eyes. The tallest of them had a questionable look on his face as his lavender eyes stared at him uncomfortably.
"Dude, what kind of gang is this? There's a little boy, some foreign guy, and a... really kawaii looking girl..." he thought.
"Here, let me help you up", the one with long hair offered him, extending their hand.
Jounouchi took hold and stumbled upwards, "Uh... Arigato", he said afterwards, "Wow, she really is kawaii, though, not much development in the chest area", he noticed.
The tall one pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and looked at his. His eyes jolted from the paper to Jounouchi's face again and again until it was confirmed, "He's the one alright", he said, "Jounouchi Katsuya."
The other two smiled brightly and then turned to Jounouchi, who had no idea what was going on.
"What does he mean by that? How does he know my name? Have they been stalking me or something?!" he asked, getting freaked out.
"Um, gomen for being rude or anything demo, do I know who you people are?" he asked, now getting curious.
The small one smiled, "You may not know us, demo we certainly know you, Jounouchi-sama."
"Jounouchi-sama?" the blonde questioned, "OH HELL!!! They really have been stalking me! They think I'm their Lord!"
The tall one questioned the freaked out look on Jounouchi's face and cleared his throat, "Okay, I think it might help if we introduced ourselves first", he decided on.
The one with long hair nodded, "That's a good idea. Well, watashi wa Ryou", he introduced themselves.
Jounouchi frowned, "Oh... Okay, it's a boy. Huh... He's kind of girlie looking then..."
"And that's Yuugi and Malik", he said, pointing to the short one and then the tall one.
Jounouchi nodded in semi understanding, "Um, nice to meet you all demo, how do you guys know my name?"
Yuugi smiled, "Well, how could we not? You're only the High Cleric of Ra after all!" he proclaimed with a grin.
"High what-zits of who-zits?" Jounouchi asked, never being more confused in his life.
Malik slapped his forehead mentally, "Maybe Ryou was right... Maybe the guys in information did make a mistake..."
Ryou sweat dropped, "Um, allow me to explain. We three are angels sent here by the Almighty Ra and we were sent here to see you. You see Jounouchi- sama, you're the High Cleric and as High Cleric, it's your destiny to you to defeat the demons that are trying to take over Heaven", he explained slowly.
The blonde stared at him, dumb founded, "Uhh... You lost me at the 'angel' part", he said.
The three angels looked at each other and all sighed at how difficult this was. Jounouchi wasn't exactly having en easily time coping with this either.
"Look, if this is some kind of joke, it's not funny. And I have to go okay?" the blonde told them, "So see ya, weirdos", he muttered, walking off.
Just as the three angels were about to believe that perhaps this boy wasn't the one they were looking for, Yugi came up with an idea, "Hold on Jounouchi-sama!" he called out, running towards the blonde.
Jounouchi looked back, "What do they want now? I'm totally gonna miss my show!" he whined.
Yuugi stood up on his toes and tied to reach Jounouchi's face but alas, he was much too short. Yuugi pouted, "Malik-kun! You do it!" he shouted.
Malik nodded and walked over with Ryou. The tanned angel stood about three feet away and out of thin air, a light sword appeared in his hand, pointing the tip at the blonde. The long, thin blade glimmered silver in the street light, his hand grasped tightly around the gold handle, decorated with a pair of angel wings.
Jounouchi swallowed, "Oh no, they're really gonna kill me now!"
He watched in horror as Malik chanted something in a language he didn't know and then a bright beam of silvery light shot out from the tip of the blade and hit Jounouchi's forehead. Yet, the blonde didn't feel a thing. No pain. No hurt. All he felt was a warm feeling in his soul.
Then, as if things couldn't weirder for the baffled blonde, a pair of magnificent, snow white angel wings sprouted from his back. Jounouchi's hazel eyes widened as the wings stretched outward and took one powerful flap.
Ryou smiled, "Isn't this what you wished for Jounouchi-sama?"
He turned his attention towards the window and stared up at the never ending clear blue sky. He smiled, "It'd be nice if I could just grow wings and get away from all of this..." he dreamed.
The wings faded minutes later and while most people would freak out and run away, Jounouchi stayed put, wanting to learn more.
"Do you believe us now?" Yuugi asked.
The blonde nodded, "Hai..."
