Chapter 2: Human World
Domino City
A few miles outside Domino City by the forest mountain that stood above it, three tall figures stood in their spot. One the figures with long sliver hair stood in front of the other two with a sword in hand. The blade was silvering in its presence against the moon.
"Crown Prince, are you sure about this? Leaving the Underworld with the sword of Pandora's Box?" one of the other two figures asked. He wore a long red cape and had white spiky hair.
"I agree with Bakura," the other one added. He had blond hair and wore a black cape. He continued, "The sword of Pandora's Box is the treasure of the Underworld. If King Hades were to find out, you will seriously be punished."
"That right, you-" "That's enough!" the crown prince replied annoyingly. He turns to the other two just as his hair turned into a golden yellow. His golden black cape flutter through the oncoming wind, "This is what we had always wanted since the three of us was born. As you should already know, the sword of Pandora's Box is the only portal that can safely transport us into the Human world without harm. Father would never allow us to leave. Besides, there's more to the sword than meets the eye, Bakura, Marik."
The two general nodded, "Forgive our questioning your highness."
He frown angrily, "I told you to stop calling me Crown prince or Your Highness. Just call me Lucifer like I call you two by names. As of today, we are no longer prince and generals. We are just ordinary people."
"Yes!" they answered in unison. Lucifer turned back to the city down below, "Now, all we need is to find a place to live. Hm, oh I got an idea!"
His enthusiasm surprised the two generals. He turns back to them with a grin, "Before we even escaped, I was searching through the Mirror of Truth and found a human boy that looks just like me. He was quite rich if I may say so myself. So how about it?"
"How about what?" Bakura asked in confusion. What the heck is this demon prince thinking?
Lucifer cross his arms irritably, "Come on guys! I can switch body with that weak human without anyone knowing!"
"You're not planning on killing the human are you?" Marik burst into an angry disbelief.
"No," he frown and pouted slightly, "I'm just saying that we pay the human a visit and that if he's willing to help, then we can switch places."
"Are you planning to reveal our existence?" Bakura asked. He was starting to get angry at the plan.
"It's the only way," he replied with a serious tone, "It's also the best place to hide the sword. If we stay like this, Father would without a doubt, find us in no time."
The two generals sighed heavily and nodded in agreement.
"Young Master? Are you sure you don't need anything else?" the old suited butler asked the pale young boy in bed.
The pale young boy smiles weakly and shook his head, "No, I'm fine, Aki. Have father and mother come home yet?"
Aki shook his head, "I'm sorry sir, but the Master and mistress are still working on aboard. They did send you a message saying that they wish for you to get better before the school year starts."
The pale young boy nodded and turns towards the window besides the bedroom. Something black that resembles that of a black bird suddenly flew pass. The pale young boy blinked for a minute believing the black bird to be a hallucination. He turned back to Aki, "Would mind leaving me alone for a bit, Aki?"
He bowed and swiftly left the room. Once the door was close, the pale young boy got out of the bed with the white sheet covering his body and walked over towards the balcony door. He opens the double door and step out into the moonlight. "I know you are there, so come out," he said weakly.
"I see," came a replied behind him. The boy genuinely smile and sprung around to find the stranger looks just like him. He continued to smile either way, "So you are my god of death."
The stranger gave him an odd look. The boy continued on, "I knew today was the day I finally said good bye, but I didn't expect a beautiful god of death to come get me."
"I'm not a god of death," replied the stranger, "My name is Lucifer."
The boy smile quickly faded, but then it returns again, " If you are in fact not a god of death, then are you a grant wisher from hell?"
He sent him another odd looks. Who in the world gave this guy such weird ideas? "I'm not a grant wisher, but I can grant you one wish," he replied.
The boy beamed happily, "Then, I wished for my parents happiness.."
"I can grant you that wish, but I will have to take your life in exchange," he added.
The boy's smile never faded as he answered, "I'm not scared to died. My life is pretty much over, so I'll willingly give my life to you. But remember, my parents must be happy."
Lucifer nodded and slowly walks towards the boy, "Are you positive about this?" The boy nodded. He let out a quiet sighed, "I promise I'll make your parents happy."
"Pinky Promise?" the boy asked as he bout up his pinky.
Lucifer gave him another odd looks. Noting this the boy quickly added, "It's when you make a promise. If you link your pinky, then it means that you can never break it until you fulfilled it."
He nodded in understanding and links their pinky together. The boy let another genuine smile spread across his face before Lucifer thrust the Sword of Pandora's Box through his flesh. He slowly touches his face, "You… Thank… You." Swoosh! The boy turn into golden dust as it got carry away by the wind.
"Young Master? Young Master Joey?" Aki asked as he came back into the room. "Young Master!" he panics as he realizes the bed was empty.
"I'm right here," some answered from the balcony.
"Young Master!" Aki rushed to the balcony. He gasps in disbelief when saw his young master standing there in the cold with his pajamas on. "Young Master! You shouldn't be out in the cold air wearing like that! Please come back in," he demanded in a soft tone that leaves for no arguments.
Joey turns to face him. Aki's eyes widen, "Your skin… it's not pale anymore! How?" he asked in disbelief.
He smile, "I was touched by a golden angel after all." And with it, he cut his long sil- golden hair to match that of the golden angel that he send to a better place.
