Between Angels and Demons
Chapter 12: The Chosen

Ryou, Malik and Yugi all walked up and into the hotel room quietly, still in shock from what had just transpired at Shadii's. They barely noticed the three spirtis sitting in the room with a larger six winged angel. That is until Yugi looked up.
"WHO THE!"
Ryou looked up and his eyes widened. "You!"
The wings covering the seraphim's face ruffled as if he was laughing softly. "I didn't expect you to be reborn so soon, Ryou."
Yugi's mouth opened and snapped shut as Yu-Gi-Oh stood and walked to him, drawing him into his arms and dropping a kiss onto the top of his head gently. Yugi stiffened in Yu-Gi-Oh's arms and made a small sound of protest before nuzzling into his arms. /what am I doing Yu-Gi-oh? I feel like I shouldn't be so close to you, but it feels so right... like... like.../
//Like we're meant to be?//
/Yeah./
"It's because you are Yugi. You and Yu-Gi-Oh are destined. Like Bakura and Ryou, and Marik and Malik."
Bakura quirked an eyebrow as he watched Ryou, who had suddenly gotten a serious case of blushes, who was trying to diminish behind Yugi and Yu-Gi-Oh. He stood and walked over, his wings glowing brightly as he reached out and grabbed Ryou, pulling him close and staring deeply into his eyes. Ryou shivered at the look Bakura was giving him.
"Oh no you two don't. Bakura let him go if you're just going to seduce him." The seraphim tsked.
Bakura growled and held Ryou close. "I won't seduce him... Whatever your name is."
"Netanyahu (Fox: It's pronounced like and is the origin of Nathaniel) is my name. I am one of the Four Seraphim of Heaven, and am keeper of the Items Of Power, or as you call them, Sennen Items. I was born of heaven so I've never been mortal like Yu-Gi-Oh, Bakura and Marik, but neither am I born pure and of innocence like Yugi, Ryou and Malik. I was created for the soul purpose of protecting the items and, when the time came, to give them to the seven who would use them to save all of first Heaven from the Forgotten One."
"Netanyahu... That means 'God Gives'. What has god given to us?" Malik asked.
"God has given you each power, and ability. You are six of the chosen seven. But of the seven, only one will be the key to unlocking all the power of the items. This one will know it when the time comes. You all can manipulate the power of the items so don't start saying it's Ryou." he said as he saw everyone look at Ryou.
Suddenly Ryou's eyes widened. "Wait... you said there were seven chosen right?"
"Yes, there are seven. You six and another. This other, however, does not know that he is chosen. Once he finds the seventh item, however, he will know."
"So he's looking for the Eye?" Bakura stepped forward, his wings rustling.
"Yes, and he should have found it by about... now."

Jou wiped the blood from his knuckles on a handkerchief before walking over, drawing a small knife from his pocket, flipping it open and kneeling beside the badly beaten body of a long white haired man. He slipped the knife under the eyelid and forcing the golden orb to pop out with a sickening plop sound and he grabbed it with the handkerchief. He wiped it off and looked it over, entranced by it.
Suddenly the eye glowed and Jou's eyes widened. The deep purple glow encased Jou and Jou felt as if his skin was on fire. He cried out as Seto stood back in the shadows, arms crossed, watching. Jou looked at his hands and saw every bruise, every blemish on his body disappear before a fiery explosion split his skin.
He moved and wriggled, finding himself crawling out of his skin and revealing new, perfect skin. His body was lean and wide in the shoulders, just slightly curving at the hips and when he stretched his limbs out he found himself in new clothes. He watched as green vines moved to encase his arms as crimson silk wrapped around his body, forming a blood like shirt and tight pants. He then felt the searing pain in his back once more. He cried out and fell to the ground, his body writhing in pain as he heard a ripping sound. He laid flat out, his new wings flapping uselessly, splattering blood all over the room, and even flicking some on Seto.
Seto smiled and reached to his face where a drop of blood had splattered. He swiped his fingers over the blood and tasted it.
"Yes, my treasure. You're mine now."
He walked over to the panting and crying gently Jou before kneeling in the pool of blood beside him. He reached out and petted his blood stained wings gently, making Jou stop crying to purr slightly at the new sensation.
"There now, calm down. That's right. Being born hurts. But you're special. You'll be fine."
Jou looked up and sniffled softly before crawling through the blood and into Seto's lap. Seto unfolded his wings from his back, bringing them forward to cover them both as he held Jou close.

The mirror of energy in front of Netanyahu dissipated and all six of the other watchers stood, mouths opened wide. Yami held Yugi while Marik cradled Malik. Bakura picked up Ryou and looked them all over.
"I for one am not about to risk my aibou. The rest of you can save heaven if you wish, but my aibou is going somewhere safe."
He then opened the door and unfurled his wings, taking to the night sky and flying high and fast as the others watched him.
Netanyahu shook his head. "Re is gonna kill me... We need them both back here and helping out."
Yu-Gi-Oh looked at Netanyahu. "He'll come back when he has had some time to think this through. Ryou will convince him. In the mean time, I believe some answers may help us out… Like, what of my name? What of our past? Has all of this happened before?"
Netanyahu sighed tiredly. "Yes, it happened just like this before... that's why the Sennen Items were created."

Fox: Well...
Bakura: Um...
Yami: Yeah...
Seto: *smirk*
