"Mmph. Where am I?" Yugi blinked dazedly, groggy from the deep sleep.
"Why, you're in Upper Heaven." A soft, feminine voice giggled. "Now, I'm sure your life here will be much better than that of Middle Earth. (Not Lord of the Rings! -_-;;;) "However..." The voice trailed off.
"Um...I'm kind of lost." Yugi said, confused. "Wasn't I just at my house?"
"Oh my. You must have been killed to quickly to realize what had happened." The voice continued.
"That must be it...wait! I'M DEAD?!" Yugi yelled in shock. "Who are you?"
The voice giggled. "Oh, sorry. You can call me Shizuka. My big brother is one a part of the Angels' Army. I'm not very good at memorizing battle strategies, and I haven't been trained enough to become one of the Lower Council members, or a nurse, so I'm stuck in this position."
"Which is?" Yugi asked.
"I'm one of the Grim Reapers." Shizuka smiled.
"...." Yugi stared in shock.
"The name's a little ironic, since we aren't grim and we don't carry a scythe." Shizuka giggled. She was young, with long reddish hair, hazel eyes, and she had sky-blue angel wings, which flapped daintily in the warm air.
"Here, come with me. I'm sure there are people who can explain the situation better than I can." She extended a hand out to Yugi, who gratefully grasped it.
"But...I don't have wings, so how can I fly?" Yugi questioned.
"Hmm." Shizuka looked puzzled. "Maybe you are afraid, or vengeful. That can put a paralysis on extending you wings."
Yugi just stared solemnly downwards.
"Here, I'll tell you how I died." Shizuka offered. "To see how I passed away might help you realize that it's better up here. Better, but not perfect."
"I suppose..." Yugi trailed off.
"I was born with really bad eyesight. I went on the operating table to see if they could fix it, but I had a ruptured blood vessel that they couldn't stop. I technically bled to death." She shrugged. "I was very unhappy on the Earth. My older brother, Jou, passed away a year before I did. After he went, I was miserable."
"How...how did I die, Shizuka?"
"You..." Her eyes widened, then filled with tears as waves of sadness washed over them. "You were beaten to death by your own parents. They fractured your bones, and cut markings into your back." She stopped abruptly.
"They're still there, aren't they?" Yugi asked, no emotion displayed on his face.
"Yes. Things from past lives never fade when you come up to the Heavens." Shizuka frowned. "But you don't seem surprised at how you died."
Yugi smiled bitterly. "I figured I would die at my parents' hands. But I will not hold a grudge against them, because it will just poison my heart with hatred. I don't want to live that way. So, I forgive them, for every scar, tear, and scream they stole from me."
Suddenly, Yugi began to glow with a bright, shining light. He cried out as sharp pain split his back. White wings, the purest of the holy, erupted from his shoulder blades and stretched out, the wingspan incredibly long. The light faded.
Shizuka gaped. "I guess forgiveness is what you needed." She stared, awestruck, at the fragile angel in front of her. She began to walk around him, touching the wings lightly. She smoothed down the soft feathers.
"What's this?" She spotted one odd, hidden feather that was peeking out on his left wing. "It's black!" Her eyes widened. "But...your heart is so pure, why is it that you have a black feather! I don't understand."
"Is something wrong with a black feather?" Yugi asked, confused.
"No, it's just that a part of your heart belongs to the dark. But you've never come in contact with any demons!"
"Oh..."
"Well, it would be wise to head up to the palace now." Shizuka quickly changed the subject. "C'mon, lets go!"
