Prologue
.
..
.
'Darkness was the only vision around me, everywhere I searched, there was only... Darkness. My mouth tasted of blood and my eyes could only picture things as blurs. I could only hear what the outside world was carrying on about. To me... It seemed as if something was going terribly wrong. I heard all of these distant voices, were they aimed for me?
"Hang on! You're going to be okay!"
"Please don't leave us! Everything is gonna be alright got that, we know you can stay strong!"
"Quick someone call the ambulance! Hurry now!"
"Please... You can't go yet... I..."
Nevertheless... The last sweet voice I heard was lost, and soon seemed meaningless as I felt my body shut down once and for all...'
((5 years later...))
"You've got to be kidding me! How on Earth do you expect people to find something when your customer skills suck!" Frustrated and seethed with anger the now twenty-one year old Anzu Mazaki hurriedly walked out of the jewelry department. "Dammit, no one can actually do things now can they?" Those cerulean blue eyes of hers scanned the large buildings as she walked back to her apartment in the heart of Domino City.
As the leather black knee-high boots she wore clacked on the hard cement pavement, she stopped when she noticed where she stood. Looking up and over the bridges railing her eyes caught the reflection of the same sunset as five years ago.
.:.:.:((Flashback)):.:.:.
"Oh my god! Someone help! Please I need someone to help me!"
"What's the matter miss? Oh God! Is he alright! Hang on I'll call the police!"
"Hurry! Hang on you'll be okay, I promise... I promise..."
.:.:.:((End Flashback)):.:.:.
Unexpectedly the unforgivable memories sneaked back up upon her while she griped the silver railing and hung her head over the side. "Five years. It's been five years since you've been murdered. And I still can't even get a hold of myself whenever I walk by here. I miss you so much." Steadily the young short-haired brunette stood up and kept walking to her apartment.
.:.:.:((Flashback)):.:.:.
Nervously she walked up to the bridge where he awaited, a slight sweat broke out on her forehead as she continued walking. 'Why did he do this? I know he won't feel the same way, why did he call me out here?'
However, before she could reflect her thoughts a loud gunshot was heard ahead of where she was walking. Hastily her legs carried her to where the noise came from. When she finally reached the destination what her eyes caught was something unforgettable...
.:.:.:((End Flashback)):.:.:.
As Anzu left, her shoes walked over the cement bridge where the memorial of his death was placed. The dried drops of blood that were there on the bridge exactly where he was shot, only five lonely years ago...
((Scene Change))
Bright white lights had adorned him once again, and this time, he would be walking into those lights. Finally after five long years God would accept him to come into the gates of heaven. Still he wondered why it took him so long to get here. Usually once someone died there was only one year to wait. In that year you would be tested on wither you deserved true happiness in heaven, or eternal unhappiness in hell.
Walking up to Angel Gabriel the handsome young man lifted his right hand once again and said the vow "I will never turn against my lord thee God almighty, he whom created heaven and Earth. If I so act against thee almighty I shall be removed from the gates of eternal happiness and brought down in to the fiery flames of hell... Can I go now?" The crimson-eyed man asked with eagerness.
Chuckling Gabriel's hand rested on his broad shoulder and at last said the one word that he had been waiting for. "Yes." Anxious enough the tri-colored haired man turned and stepped into the blinding light, however he was soon halted when a hand was placed upon his shoulder once again.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this? If you go now, there's no turning back. You cannot come back to life once you walk through those lights."
Smiling he just looked ahead, not bothering to turn his face to the angel behind him. "I'm sure." The man said confidently. "I was upset at first, for losing something I never could tell my secret too, but… I'll just have to wait." Again he walked ahead however after a few moments the almighty angel called out his name.
Turning around he looked into Gabriel's eyes and noticed some worry in them. "I have some bad news to bring you..."
((Scene Change))
"Anzu! Thank God I've found you!"
Turning around the slim girl faced someone familiar, it was a young girl who had long reddish hair, and lively russet eyes. "Shizuka I thought it was you, what do you need?" Catching her breath Shizuka stood next to the sapphire-eyed girl, "I-I... I need... To-tell... you something... im-import-important." Still unfazed Anzu waited for the red haired girl to finally regain her breath, and continue.
"You see, it deals with Seto and Jonouchi. They... They have some serious business that they need to talk to you about." As Shizuka looked her in the eyes she could tell that it was no joke, and that this needed immediate attention.
"Alright Shizuka, I'm coming."
They both turned to leave, as the two girls headed through the streets of a crowed Domino City Shizuka decided to bring up a conversation to lighten the mood, but little did she know that it would only sadden it.
"I was a, wondering what you were doing in that jewelry store earlier. Heh, I know that you don't need to buy a gift for anyone, soooo why did you need to go there?" The russet-eyed girl turned to face her best friend but what she saw was quite astonishing. Instead of those cheerful, angelic eyes Anzu had, they were now clouded with crystal tears. Pretending not to notice the abrupt change with her emotion Shizuka pretended not to see her brunette friend almost break out in tears. So quickly turning her head in the other direction she then stated "Oh ya know what, never mind. Heh heh, it's no big deal." Anzu turned to face her, but she only looked the other way again.
'What was that all about?' the short haired brunette asked herself...
Now hastily exceeding altitude the elevator stopped at the 60th floor. As the pair of large steel doors opened with a ding, both Anzu and Shizuka came walking out. The two girls made their way over a black marble counter as they talked to the grey uniformed secretary sitting in a cushiony beige chair behind it.
"Good afternoon Miss Mazaki, Miss Katsuya how may I help you two?" The woman asked as she moved her dark curly brown hair behind her ears.
"Is Seto and my brother in a meeting right now?" the young russet-eyed girl asked.
"No they aren't, would you like to see them?" she questioned.
Both of the adolescents nodded in agreement, and soon the large mahogany doors next to the counter opened. Looking towards them Anzu and Shizuka saw a tall male brunette, with icy cobalt eyes, and a slightly shorter male who had rich golden blonde hair and deep chocolate eyes. Smiling Shizuka ran over to Seto and hugged him tightly while Jonouchi just snickered and rolled his eyes. Anzu looked at them both before she questioned "So, what is it that you want to talk about?"
Both men turned towards her, equally sending the young sapphire eyed girl an intense glare. Looking slightly baffled the brunette gradually walked past them and into the office. Jonouchi followed, as well as Seto and Shizuka, when they were all inside the dark office the two doors automatically shut behind them.
The entire office was pretty dark, the walls, the ceiling, the floor, even the chairs were all black or navy blue. In the center of the room was Kaiba's large black marble desk, along with two leather chairs in front, and one for him behind. Over on the left side was a large black leather couch with two separate chairs facing inwards on each side (which were black I may add). In front of the couch was a long glass coffee table. Then over on the right side was a book shelf, a door, and an oak wooden counter that held some expensive wines and other drinks. Plus there was a shelf hanging on the wall behind it which held the elaborately designed glasses.
As the icy cobalt-eyed man sat down in his leather chair he waited for the others to get comfortable because soon they wouldn't be. While the others were getting settled and having small chit chats Anzu checked over Kaiba. He was still the usual when it came to his stone like face, but he wore a pair of tight black pants, a navy blue no sleeve shirt, and a black long-sleeve trench coat that had silver belts along the cuffs. Nope. Nothing changed.
Growing extremely impatient Seto cleared his throat to get the attention of the brother and sister who were catching up on a few things. "Alright, everyone knows what today is right?" They all nodded silently in agreement. "Well I have some good news... And also very… Very bad news."
"What is it?" Anzu asked with strong curiosity.
"You see Anzu, Jonouchi and I have found out some extremely important news that the underworld was never going to tell us about, and it has a lot to do with the death of Atem." Seto nervously cast his eyes on his hands which were folded on top of the desk.
Jumping from her seat Anzu abruptly shouted "What? What do you mean that the underworld wasn't going to give either of you guys notice about this so called "important" news? And what about Atem? He's been dead for five years now! Why would he have anything to do with this?" Practically going hysterical at them mention of Atem the blue-eyed girl sat back down with her head hung low.
"Well you see, after Atem died something happened in hell. Somehow his body held an immense power, which had opened up the gates of the inferno... Yeah, I know it seems impossible but that's the case." Jonouchi explained as he leaned further back in his chair, waiting for some quick comments.
Noticing that Anzu wanted to say something eagerly Shizuka stood up and asked her questions for her. "How on Earth could Atem, the Atem, somehow open up the gates of hell? I mean he wasn't even a vampire or anything like that. Both of you are, but what has that got to do with anything. You told us that the only reason they brought you two to Earth was to help figure out ways to destroy or take over it. Why would Atem have those powers if he wasn't even any kind of demon from hell?"
Answering her last question Seto narrowed his gaze from his hands, to everyone in the room. Especially to Anzu who was still looking at the floor in a hopeless state of being. "You're wrong there Shizuka, Atem was a demon from hell..."
All of them except for Jonouchi looked at Kaiba with startled faces, and Anzu's look was an extremely worried one.
Continuing slowly he finished "Atem was Satan's son."
((Scene Change))
"Gabriel... Wha-What is it?"
Gabriel looked down with saddened eyes "Come Atem, I need to speak with you."
Slowly the crimson-eyed man followed him, that is, after he took his gaze off of the bright lights which were going to accept him had soon vanished. With a saddened expression lying on his face, the adolescent followed the guardian angel into enormous mists of clouds.
"I am sorry to be telling you this but, you are not allowed to enter heaven."
Both startled and shocked, Atem hastily ran in front of the angel, gripping his shoulders and making him look at him directly in the eyes. "Angel Gabriel, please, how? Why? I mean I've gone through the trials for exactly five years! Why can't I be accepted? I've passed all of the tests and have been good when I lived my life on Earth. What's wrong, I thought that I was allowed to only a minute ago."
Calmly the high leveled angel looked into his gaze with a mournful expression. "You see, you were allowed to but then God had to refuse." They started to walk once again as Gabriel continued the conversation. "You do not know this but you were no ordinary human, you held some vigorous dark powers." He looked over to Atem who had his gazed cast on the white fluff beneath him, so he went on "When you had passed on those powers within you were released, and believe me it was not that pleasant... Because when you died Atem, you unlocked the gates of hell."
Wide-eyed the muscular toned man just stared at him, not even blinking, he was utmost confused, bewildered, and horrified. Gabriel could feel his fear and see him shaking, gently he placed a hand on his shoulder. "They need to send you back to Earth again, to stop all of this wrong doing. When you go there, you will be the actual person as to what you would be in hell."
"What do you mean as when I was in hell?" Against his own will Atem was becoming frightfully angry.
The golden-winged angel continued with his steps as his silky white robes flowed with him. "Atem, you..." He let out a sigh as he turned to the baffled spiky haired adult. "You are the son of Satan."
((Scene Change))
"But that can't be! It-It's impossible! He was a human for crying out loud!" By now everyone was sitting except for Kaiba and Anzu who were constantly disagreeing.
"It's possible in ways more than one!" The male-brunette fired.
"HOW? HE was a human! NOT some demon like you, he had a heart and a good mind as well! Which is something you obviously lack!" she snapped back at him.
"He was made to look like a human! That doesn't mean that he wasn't trained like any other demon, I mean come'on Mazaki, ATEM WAS THE SON OF SATAN!" Seto shouted as his fist slammed against the marble desk, creating a rumble throughout the entire office.
"I have to disagree with you Seto, Atem didn't seem at all like a thing from the underworld! He was so kind and caring, he never hurt anyone!"
"That's because he didn't get the chance to!" Seto's intense cobalt eyes were formed in sharp slits at this point, and staring dangerously at the short haired brunette.
"And why not?" she shouted back, superior in voice.
"Because if he did he knew that he would have to hurt you!"
Silence filled the room.
Jonouchi and Shizuka were both speechless, could it have been, could Atem really have cared about Anzu in that way? Abruptly the brunette walked towards the door, and soon she left with a slam echoing behind her.
"Well, that's a shocker." Jonouchi pointed out as his eyes stared at the carpet. After a few moments of silence, the blonde haired vampire leisurely walked out of the darkened office. Mostly because of wanting to catch up to Anzu so he could have a long talk with her.
Shizuka looked towards Seto who just stood and went over to the large wall of tinted glass that overlooked the city. She stepped over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist as she sighed. "She didn't mean to say that."
"Yes she did." He replied, obviously with hurt in his tone.
"It's not true though. I mean, even though you're a vampire you still have a strong heart and you've showed me that. I love you, and you love me too... Right?"
The tall male brunette turned and wrapped his arms around the saddened girl. "Of course I do." He said brushing her head with his hand. "Don't let anyone tell you that otherwise. Anzu just needs some time to realize all that's happened, and then she'll be okay."
"Thank you Seto. Even though you aren't a real human being, you still seem opposite of what you actually are. For some reason I feel that even if someone is a demon from the underworld... They can still express the same emotion that two people feel when they're together."
With care he took his hands and cupped the red-haired girl's face with them. Looking passionately into her eyes he slowly bent down and brushed his lips smoothly against hers. Shizuka lovingly accepted his proposal and wrapped her arms around his neck as Seto placed his arms around her slim waist and pulled the young girl close to his chest.
Gracefully he slid his tongue over her lips to ask for permission to enter, and soon he was answered when her lips parted. After a short while the two moved over to the large couch that was placed on the side of the room. As Shizuka laid underneath him, Seto lustfully planted hot moist kisses along her neck. It took him a great deal of inner strength to not bite her as he carefully unbuttoned the yellow blouse she wore. They continued on with conveying their love to each other, knowing that they may not have another moment like this together because of what was going to soon come.
((Scene Change))
"I'm-I'm-I'm what?" Atem shouted as his powerful voice echoed throughout the sky.
Sighing Gabriel again looked over to the shell-shocked man, "Yes, I know that you should have been told sooner but… You seemed so happy with your life on Earth, and we never thought that you would have been murdered. Instead of telling you when you were at the legal age of eighteen our council believed that it was best to tell you when you were a much older adult."
However when the robed angel finished his speech he expected to have Atem start to shout, but instead he found him kneeling on the ground holding his head tightly. Rushing over to him he kneeled beside him and placed his hand on his white finery clothed shoulder. "Please Atem, God is most upset to see you like this. You must overcome this fear and anger and tu-"
"What do you mean overcome this fear and anger? How the hell am I supposed to do that after what you've just told me? Oh and speaking of hell, I'm going there right now and getting some answers!" Hastily the furious crimson-eyed man stood and began to walk to the area of where the council was held.
Running after him Gabriel stopped before the furious male. "Atem! Get control of yourself, you may not realize this but this is how your father wants you to react! You are letting his part of you get the better half, don't let him do that Atem! We know you are strong, please don't let him do this to you!"
Stopping he looked at the angel with an intense depressed emotion on his façade. As he spoke his scarlet orbs swiftly filled with unshed watery tears. In a short while though they began to fall freely down his cheeks dropping slowly unto the cloudy mist beneath them.
"It's not… This isn't fair. I-I" he tried to continue softly but his sobs were building up. However he began to laugh at his act. "Heh, I can't believe this. Haha. I'm, I'm crying. This is pathetic, don't you agree?"
"No I do not. Atem, this is none of your fault. You should be considered lucky that you have a say in this. That was mostly because you were born from a human woman and not a demon female. Come. Let us get you ready to rejoin the people of Earth. Though I must warn you, that everything is going to be much more complicated."
"I'll do whatever I have to do."
Before long the two were walking off into the clouds, where they would send Atem back to Earth, as a different person, or more less… As a demon.
((Scene Change))
"Jonouchi please! Just leave me alone!" Anzu continued to tell the young haired blonde as she walked down the street. Tears were hurriedly running down her cream-colored face. "Anzu wait! I-I just want to tell you something important!" He came running up to her even though she refused to look at him.
"Anzu, Seto failed to mention something to you back in his office. And believe me it was something vital. You see…"
The handsome chocolate-eyed man stopped his speaking as he noticed that the young girl next to him wasn't paying any kind of attention. Her sapphire eyes were placed on something that was standing ahead of her, taking note Jonouchi followed the path of her eyesight as well.
There it was… Standing a mere three feet in front of them, dressed in a long black trench coat that were decked with metal straps, wearing thick black boots that were tied together with shiny silver belts. The beings long slender legs were adorned with tight midnight black leather pants, as well as his upper torso with a sleeve less shirt. Anzu could barely keep herself standing as the on comer approached the human and demon.
Softly the strangers face came in close contact with Anzu's ear as he spoke soothingly. "Hello my little angel."
The brunette's lips quivered as the man in front of her stepped even closer.
"Atem…"
