I. The Bet

A newborn Eiri Uesugi was peacefully sleeping in his mother's arms. She was holding him lovingly and couldn't think of how beautiful, how perfect he was. But she couldn't know that this beautiful and perfect boy has enraged a very well-known Lucifer and brought joy to a very well-known God. So as the boy was sleeping peacefully in his mother's arms, the two of them came to see him. Little they knew about the encounter with each other.

Both God and the Devil were startled because of the other's presence and couldn't believe this little creature made them both leave their kingdoms.

God wanted to give the boy his blessing, so he could have a wonderful life and eventually his soul to come and rest in his heavenly kingdom. Lucifer wanted to give his 'blessing' too. Only that he wanted the boy to have a miserable life and his soul to end up in Hell after he died. Both of them were speechless. What could they do? The boy was perfect, he was the most beautiful creature that God created, he was more beautiful than an angel, so God wanted him to have a long, peaceful, happy life and an eternity in Heaven along with the heavenly angels.

After a while, Lucifer came with an idea. "We'll let him choose. And I know he will choose a life that will send him straight to my kingdom. In fact, I bet this will be the situation." God remained silent for a while and when he spoke he only said: "So you bet he will choose a miserable life? I accept this bet. But tell me what does 'miserable' means from your point of view?"

"As beautiful and as perfect as he is, he will never find love in his lifetime on Earth and will not be able to love either. He will be a cold hearted person and will have no friends. He will have no one to cry at his tomb."

"You know that every person has a soul mate. He has one too, even if it is not born yet in this world. So I tell you this: if he will not be able to find his soul mate and the love that comes with it, then his soul is yours after he dies, but if he does find it and if he loves it, than his soul will come directly to Heaven, along with his soul mate's, without you claiming either one of them."

"It's a deal. If he falls in love with someone and is loved by that person, then they are both yours." With that being said, Lucifer vanished into thin air, leaving God by the boy's side. Looking at the boy he had an idea. He gently leaned and put his heavenly hand on the boy's forehead. He felt the touch and opened his eyes. And doing so he caught a glimpse of God vanishing into thin air. He moved a little and his mother looked at him worriedly. But what she saw awestruck her. Her little boy's eyes had a very strange color: they were amber colored. And they were beautiful.

"Just a little gift for you to help you with your quest in life." thought God as he was returning to his kingdom. "Those eyes should catch everyone's attention and with the blond hair your mother has, you will be perfect."

At the sight in front of her, the woman placed a gentle kiss on the boy's forehead and started singing. She had a wonderful voice and he always seemed to fall asleep when he heard it.

The first years of Eiri's life went by peacefully and God was pleased. Two years after Eiri's birth he had encountered another interesting person, in the form of a newborn Shuichi Shindou. God was there, just as he was in the case of Eiri Uesugi, only that this time the Devil no longer came, too wrapped up in his plans of making the young boy's life miserable. God was joyful, especially because he saw that little Shuichi and young Eiri were equally beautiful. So he developed a plan. He will bond the two boys for eternity. He will do his best that this newborn will be Eiri's soul mate, will be the one to save both their souls by loving him and making the blond one love him back. As God's plan was now set, he wanted to give little Shuichi his blessing. He leaned and touched the boy's forehead, only this time he chanted some old words, words that only he knew. Doing so, he bonded them both for eternity. Shuichi felt the light touch and opened his eyes only to see a vanishing into thin air God. As he moved, his mother's attention was shifted towards him. She saw the boy opening his eyes. It was the first time he would do it, so she was very happy. But the color of the boy's eyes startled her. They were amethyst colored and, along with the pink hair that was to grow as the time passed, were God's gifts for him.
