A small boy that, could be no more than eight years old, walked to the prison cell not showing any emotion at all. Some prisoners looked right at him for a second before turning away with disinterest. It was obvious that there were not many children here, which made him stick out like an ink stain on a pure white piece of paper. One prisoner tried to grab his leg and ask him for help, but he glared and stated, "Even if I tried to help it makes no difference. They would chase us both down and we would end up here again with an even worse punishment." Shaking him of his leg the boy continued to walk as the guard pulled him away and placed him in a cell. "This is where you belong now," the guard announced about to walk away. "Fine," the boy stated and then said, "Bye Izumi, too bad you didn't truly like my mother." The guard was surprised for a minute and then walked away saying, "I don't know what you're talking about." The boy gave a smirk of satisfaction. In the dim light he looked around and noticed there was a boy kneeling in a corner sleeping. He had blond hair and his bangs were in his face. So he sat down next to the bars and went to sleep also.

The blond boy that had been in the cell woke up to find another boy in his cell. For a minute he thought he was sleeping until he slapped his cheeks. Deciding he was indeed not sleeping he poked the other boy and woke him up. The boy had brown hair that looked almost black and when he opened his eyes you could see they were blue with hints of grey in them. "What do you want?" the burnet asked obviously tired and pissed off.

Sarcastically the blond responded, "Well aren't you cheery this morning."

"You woke me up and who the hell can be cheerful when they're in prison?" he stated flatly. Ignoring that last part the blond asked kind of bored like, "Since we're going to be here for a long time…what's your name?" The burnet was silent for a very long time before finally saying, "Seto Kaiba."

For the next few days after meeting each other they never talked and ignored the others, and developed a routine that they preformed every day. All they would do is wake up in the morning to go eat breakfast with the other prisoners, work out at the gym to keep in shape, do work that the guards forced them to do, at the end of the day eat dinner, and finally go to sleep. Finally after awhile the blond asked Seto, "Why are you in jail in the first place?" Seto didn't seem too surprised when he asked this question and answered, "It's a really long story you still want to listen?" The blond looked at Seto and then rolled his eyes saying, "I have time it's not like we're going anywhere anytime soon."

Before Seto started his story he took a deep breath and then started….

"Ever since I can remember I have lived with the angels and they have hated…I mean really disliked me since angels can't hate anyone supposedly. So to put my mother who had been raising me out of shame I started martial arts training, etiquette classes, and studying at the age of four. My mother was proud of me, but none of the angels seemed to care about my efforts. It bugged me so much that just my appearance made them dislike me so much. Every time I went places and kids got into any kind of trouble they would all blame it on me even if I did nothing and was just walking by. Most of the time I had no idea what they were talking about and still I got punished instead of them. To put it simply I was their scapegoat. Well sine I'm already getting punished I thought why not do something then? I decided to steal some food and eat it just to spite them. They could never arrest me before because they didn't have any evidence but I still could get punished. Well they got their proof so I tried to resist arrest and they came after me. My mother helped me believing I was innocent and then they cornered us and I was arrested."

He finished with the same emotionless look on his face like when he first arrived. The blond boy sat there and said, "You can tell I'm a demon from my demeanor obviously." Seto nodded. "Well they caught me while I was fighting with some angels and so they put me here. Never did get a fair trial. I do have one thing to ask about your story thought." He said interested in Seto's story. "Why did they hate you so much?"

For a minute Seto's eyes showed sadness but it didn't last long and he said, "I'm half angel, half demon." The rest of the night they were silent both left to their own thoughts.

The next day as usual they were in the breakfast line, when the blond got pushed into Seto violently. Seto glared at the guy who had pushed the blonde intensely and threatened, "Do you want to have every single bone in your body broken while you feel every snap and break?" The prisoner laughed thinking since he was young he couldn't possibly be strong until Seto grabbed his arm and twisted it until you could her a distinct cracking noise. He had broken the guy's arm, fracturing it in at least two places and had to be put into handcuffs to prevent getting into any more fights even though the other person started it.

"You didn't have to break his arm…" the blond said as they walked to their cell while watching Seto. Seto looked at him with his emotionless eyes and said, "That idiot made three mistakes and deserved worse than that." The blond thought about what he had said before asking, "What three mistakes did he make?"

"One he laughed at me and didn't believe I could hurt him which he now knows I can. Two he indirectly pushed me which is a big mistake, and three he pushed you." They sat in their cell for awhile in awkward silence before saying goodnight to each other and going to sleep in their usual places.

The blond got up to find Seto already up and about sitting by the door. "Morning," Seto said with a small almost unnoticeable smile. "Yeah," he replied groggily because he really wasn't a morning person. After he was more awake he asked, "Did something good happen? You never smile so that's the only thing I can think of…" Seto shook his head and said, "No, but something good will happen very soon if things go my way." This puzzled the blond but he shook it off for now and they got into their normal morning routine. The guy who had laughed at Seto until he broke his arm avoided them completely along with a few other prisoners. It was annoying Seto even if he never talked to them and what made it worse were the guards looked at him like he was the worst kind of scum. Seto was getting a bit of an angry near hostile look in his eyes when the blond put a hand on him saying, "It's their problem if they don't like you just calm down." Seto looked at him and asked, "Don't you just want to escape this place? I really hate it here. Besides it's boring and I don't think it should matter if two people leave every now and then…What do you think?" The blonde replied, "Of course I want to leave this prison! Who wouldn't?" he looked at Seto puzzled.

The conversation was left at that and they when dinner was over they went to their cell again. When they got their though Seto sat by him instead of by the bars and whispered, "I have a plan, let's break out tonight." For a minute he thought he had heard Seto wrong but Seto's face showed he was completely serious. Nodding his head in confirmation he listened while Seto explained everything to him.

It was one in the morning when they put Seto's plan into action. Seto collapsed in the cell suddenly without any warning after he had been asleep. The guards heard the noise and went to investigate what it was. Izumi the angel guard who had brought Seto in had checked his pulse to find it declining. The blond looked extremely concerned while they checked on Seto. Izumi signaled to take him away from the cell to go to the hospital. For awhile the blond protested saying, "He'll be fine here don't move him he could get even worse! Why not just bring the doctor here?" Izumi checked Seto's pulse again but was knocked out by something. Seto had kicked his head at full force. He took Izumi's keys and before the guards could get the door blocked Seto and the blond were gone.

"They couldn't have gotten too far!" called one of the guards. As fast as they could both of them ran until they got to the part of the prison which resembled a castle and was used for trials, and hearings.

"Where do you want to go now?" Seto asked the blond both out of breath from running for so long. He looked at Seto and said, "The demon world I need to do some things. Want to come?" Seto immediately said, "No, I don't want to go there I already have plans to go to Earth." After saying that a guard nearly spotted them but they hid behind some pillars that were wide and could hide them well. Nearby they saw an escape route they could take, a window that didn't appear to be locked. Both of them opened the window quickly and jumped while spreading out their concealed wings. The blond had huge red and black bat like wings and some demonic horns coming out of his head. When he looked at Seto his breath hitched at how handsome he looked with his blood red angel wings. For a moment he stared at Seto because he was so unique and he seemed to glow in the moonlight and that was all he could think about before they landed in a nearby field safely.

"Where do we go from here?" he asked snapping out of his daze and making sure no one else was there.

"To the only place we can go without being caught immediately, the most demonic, yet necessary portal in the angel realm. Lunatic Gate (1)" Seto replied not even phased.

It was a half days journey to the Lunatic Gat e but since they were sure they were being pursued it took longer especially since they had to travel secretly. The blond boy kept looking at Seto until he finally asked, "Why is it called the Lunatic Gate? We are in the angel's realm so why such a demonic name?"

"You'll see soon enough we will be there soon. Do you have anything sharp like a knife?" Seto asked offhandedly. He looked at Seto and said, "Yeah I stole one from one of the villages on our way here. Why?"

"We might need it for self defense," Seto replied casually.

They arrived at the Lunatic Gate at around seven in the evening when the sun was about to set. The gate was huge and had many different designs going all around it and what appeared to be a circular symbol in front of the gate. "How do we open the gate?" the blond asked looking around since the gate wasn't active puzzled. "Hand me your knife and stand in front of the gate," Seto ordered. As the blond did so he heard the angel guards come after them from behind Seto.

"Stop!" they shouted as Seto stood in front of the circular pattern. With a smile Seto cut his arm not deeply but enough to draw blood. The blond demon gasped, "What are you doing?!" he asked shocked. Closer and closer the guards came almost upon them. "Earlier you asked why this is called the Lunatic Gate, right?" Seto asked calmly before saying, "It's an unpopular gate that almost no one ever uses because it needs blood to open the portal and function properly." Giving a quick look behind himself Seto approached the blond and whispered, "I'll probably never see you again so goodbye." Seto then hugged the blond. Before the blond could respond Seto pushed him into the gate and turned to face the guards. The last thing the blond saw before finding himself next to his uncle in the demon world was him fighting the guards.

Lunatic Gate (1) it's supposed to be pronounced (Lue-not-ic) not (luna-tick)

TBC!
