A/N:  Gomen, but I see that you are right. Actually, when I posted this up yesterday, I didn't even expect a few reviews before I got to the first chap since I admit, I didn't put almost anything about the story aside from the bios and the super short prologue. Forgive me. So I think I have to release the first chapter at least for some entertainment, ne?

Thanks to:

Wolf of Avalon: You don't seem to like Anzu that much… ^^ Glad for you. Thank you for being the first reviewer. Abi: Haha, too many 'really's. ^_^ Arigatou and I'm sorry for not putting up at least the first chap. My bad. Yami's Tenshi: Hahaha, now you have too many 'I like it' ^_^;; So you are the second one who said something about the short story thing. Again, gomen. Here's the first chap to make it up.

Read on and if you still like it, I might release the second chap. For now, it's sleeping in my computer until I post it up.

Feeling the Fates

Ichi [The Yin and Yang]

By Hirame

                   Blue, violet and pink thunders graced the perpetually ominous skies, as they take it upon themselves to hit the rocky plains below them to meet their quick demise before they were reborn once again for the same task. But amidst all these dangerous and barren surroundings, a strong 'capital city' stood tall in the middle. Protected by a very strong magical barrier, inside was a different predicament. Nature's best became an understatement as like the darkness outside was continuous, the artificial night and even day inside was likewise perpetual. Homes and buildings of intricate designs shimmered in its glory.

It was as if it wasn't Hell, or the dark Realm as they commonly call it, we are talking about.

                   In contrast of the normally hideous tales about them, demons in reality roamed around in quite a glamorous fashion albeit a bit dark in preference. Looking perfectly like humans, the only way to tell them apart is their ultimately pale and unblemished coloring, the common blackness of their eye coloring and their sleek pointed ears. Their hair coloring is also within a specific selection, as angels took after lighter ones such as white or blonde, they took after darker ones like black or brown.

                   However, that historical description was broken the moment when two twins were born exactly 126 years ago. If the demons thought that their ruler was exceptionally different because of his white hair, then it was nothing compared to these two children. It was actually an eerily funny situation if they weren't so shocked. A demon even mouthed 'Oh my GOD!', earning him blasphemous looks from other demons.

                   The first born possessed silky pure white strands and brown eyes while the second, born after a minute, had tri-colored hair, which consists of black, red, and blonde bangs. It was really peculiar. But if the most captivating thing about the first one was only the hair, then the second one's his amazing lavender eyes. No one ever had that and it was rare even for the mortals who had different selections of hair and eye color. The only one who had natural violet eyes before was that famous woman they called Elizabeth Taylor -_-.

                   The first one was named Ryou. Weeks after his birth, the most famous talk of the realm was how much he resembled their war strategist Bakura. The only difference was that his brown eyes told volumes of innocence in them. It was definitely weird. And his choice of clothing was questionable too as he grew up. He preferred WHITE, which made him look *more* like an angel.

                   As for the second one, he was named Yugi. Demons thought he looked familiar enough but it never crossed their minds as to whom he looked a lot like. Now, if Ryou's eyes told volumes of innocence, then Yugi's lavender orbs told a whole library of innocence. (A/N: Pardon me… *cough*) It was as if he was mistakenly put into the dark realm.

                   But as years passed by, looks became of no importance. At least compared to the power everyone sensed inside of them. And by the time both were 56 years old (AKA. 8 years in human count), they are well trained and suited enough to become generals if only there wasn't a law stating that a demon cannot serve yet unless they were at least 84 years of age at minimum.

70 years later, we see a figure with strikingly purple eyes standing in the palace's open hallway just above the garden view…

Mou… where did he go now…

                   Resounding footsteps echoed through the empty halls as a young white haired demon gracefully covered each corner and room without a sound, looking for a certain somebody. Urgency marring his usually calm face, he found who he was looking for in the most predictable places. He gave himself a mental slap. Sensing his arrival, the one he searched for smiled, not turning his head to look at him.

"It's pretty around this time, ne Ryou?" The older one looked at his twin fondly.

"That's what you say whenever I find you here in the morning, in the afternoon or during times like tonight."

"I do?" came the innocent reply.

"Aa. But as always, I'll give you my usual answer… It *is* pretty."

"…hmnm…"

"Hahaha… come on, Yugi. Lord Pegasus summoned all officials into the Main Cell."

                   At this statement, Yugi finally turned around, giving his brother a curious glance. Ryou narrowed his eyes.

"…What? Do you know something?"

"…"

"Yugi?"

"You know…"

"Yes?"

                   Ryou by then was feeling a bit restless. He knew there were times when Yugi had accidental visions in connection to what is to be that is why he had earned a title as semi-seer. "Yugi?" he repeated. Within a few seconds, the smaller one's serious face broke into a big cute grin.

"We really *are* twins! I can't believe we're wearing the same thing *again*! ^_^"

Ryou face faulted. ~_~; "Wh-what??"

"Look *^-^*" Yugi fully turned to him and stretched his arms out for a better look.

                   Truly, they *were* wearing the same thing, much to Ryou's amazement. While he was wearing a long sleeved black turtleneck, fitted black slacks and black boots; over it long sleeveless white robe up to his ankles with ancient light blue writings on the hems and black leather as a waist belt, and wrapped around his head and neck was a long silvery silk cloth that went along his back to his arms like a scarf so he carried it to prevent the material from touching the ground, (A/N: Wheeze. That was long…) Yugi wore the same thing except he wore white turtleneck, white fitted leather pants, black boots, a long gray robe with ancient violet writings on the hem and white leather as a waist belt. A long black silk concealed most of his head like a hood, wrapped once around his neck that fell on his back like a cape, with his arms trapping it like a shawl like what Ryou is doing to prevent the same thing. (A/N: God, repeating something like that again… -_-)

                   For the finishing touches, silver jewels bearing diamonds adorned Ryou's forehead, neck, both his wrists, waist and both his ankles. It was same with Yugi, just replacing diamonds with amethyst and silver with gold.

                   The only thing they have in common was the bloodstone earring they wore on their ears. Ryou was wearing one on his left ear and Yugi was wearing half of the pair on his right, signifying that they are closely bonded as twin brothers. Their mother, who died long before and leaving them to the care of her father, gave the earrings to them.

Ryou's face twitched.

"Mou, Yugi. Now's not the time to comment about those things. We are needed immediately. Let's go."

"*giggle* Really, Ryou. I'm sure we can afford to be late even for just 5 minutes ^_^"

"Yugi, we *are* late already. As a matter of fact, we are 30 minutes late since you had to let me find you."

" Ah! Hontou?? M-maa, I guess Lord Pegasus won't mind too much. XD"

"Don't push Pegasus-sama, Yugi. ~_~"

"Bleh! But you know it's true. ^^ It gives me the creeps but he can't stay angry with me, ne? 1 ^_~"

"Hai hai ^^;"

"Desho? ^___^ Then let's not waste time and teleport already."

"Aa. Iku."

TBC…

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A/N: Well now. That's what I call S_H_O_R_T. But it took care of the opening anyway so read and review kudasai ne. I would love ya for the rest of my life if you did.

[1] Yes yes, Yugi is supposed to be so innocent to the point of density but I bet even you would know if your lord had an inclination towards you if you catch him touching you're a** a couple of times, right? ^_^ And before you say anything, YES. I do think Pegasus is a big PERVERT.
