I believe that is three reviews! Enjoy the next chapter!

Chapter 3: Plans set ahead

Five years later.

"Focus Yugi! I know you can do this!" His teacher encouraged him. Yugi was struggling with the spell of light. He was trying to create a bright flash. There was a huge flash as Yugi finally did it. However the flash so bright it blinded everyone in the area. Yugi shook his head and sighed. For several years he had been experiencing things like this. After these episodes he would have an ache in his chest, like he was missing something. He shook his head again to clear it. Why did he keep on having these episodes?! It always happened when a spell got out of control, or when he had an extremely powerful emotion. He decided to talk to his parents about it.

"All right Yugi. That's enough for today." He nodded and flew home. His brother was in the yard whittling a figurine. It had the wing of an angel, but it also had the wing of a demon as well. The clothes were a mix of angel robes and demonic tribal garb. The hair was short on one end and long on the other. Yugi shook his head. His brother had always been rather fond of the half races.

"Hey little bro!" He waved. Yugi nodded and walked inside.

"Hey mom?" His mother poked her head out from the kitchen where she was making dinner. The smell of dewberry soup made his mouth water.

"Yes dear?"

"I need to talk to you." She came out of the kitchen, still dressed in her temple robes. Yugi's mother was an assistant in the temple, filling the alters with insense and cleaning the old ones. Yugi had always said she should try to go higher, but his mother just laughed and stayed where she was.

"What s it?"

"I-I keep on getting these…episodes…Whenever I lose control of a spell or experience a powerful emotion I-I feel…different…like I have this huge weight in my chest…like…like I'm…missing something." She got a worried expression. "I-I keep on feeling like someone is gone…like I'm not…whole." She looked down.

"I-I think you're ready." He felt confused.

"Ready for what?" She looked at him.

"Come with me." She went outside and turned toward the courthouse.

"Mother? What are you doing?" His brother asked.

"I'm going to take Yugi to the courthouse. He's ready." His brother got an odd expression on his face. He set down the figurine he was whittling and got up.

"Are you sure?"

"He's beginning to have the symptoms of it wearing off." His face became hard.

"All right. I'll go get the rest of the family. And I'll get them as well." He flew off.

"Come on." She flew toward the courthouse. Yugi followed close behind. When they got there a judgment angel was teaching a group of young angels how to tell if someone was guilty or not. When he saw Yugi he stiffened and looked away. Yugi looked at him, curious. He felt like he knew the man.

"Who is that?"

"That's angel Corel. He teaches judgment angels. This way." She walked in. As soon as she and Yugi had disappeared into the building angel Corel dismissed his class. This was not good. Yugi's spell of forgetfulness was wearing off faster than he thought. If he tried to figure out what happened now then he would be ruined. He decided that as soon as he went to the spot he would send him to join his brother.


Yugi's POV

I followed mother down to the temptation courtroom. It was empty. She went to the recorder and placed her hand onto it. It flashed and whirred and a projection appeared. Words flashed in the air.

"CASE #4349

NAME: ATEM MUTO

ACCUSATION: TEMPTING AN ARCHANGEL

JUDGMENT: GUILTY"

The words disappeared and watched as a boy who had hair similar to my own was led into the courtroom. I watched the bizarre events as the band of truth electrocuted him and changed color. I found this suspicious. I had never been heard of something like that happening before. I watched as he talked to a family and…and myself. Mother tapped a button and sound popped into existence, the boys deep reassuring voice filled the room.

"Listen…If I fall…Then I want you to know that I love you all…And I hope to see you again…one day." The boy looked at my projection. "I promise that I will never fall under Satan's rule." He caressed my projections cheek. I watched as the boy was declared guilty. The recording ended and the room was silent once more.

"So…Now you know." I was frozen in place with horror and shock.

"Where are they…? My real family? And why don't I remember any of this?"

"They had your memory erased." This made me mad.

"Why?! Were they ashamed that they're son fell?!" My mother looked at the ground and her wings drooped, a sign of great sadness.

"No. You were pining away. You watched your brother fall…you didn't budge from the cliff. You wouldn't eat, wouldn't sleep, you just looked at the spot where he had disappeared. Your real parents couldn't bear to see you wasting away like that…they had your memory erased so that you wouldn't miss him and might actually be happy again." Now I looked at the ground.

"Will my memory ever come back?" I asked softly.

"The spell was supposed to wear off after ten years. By that time they were hoping you would be detached enough so you could remember him without slipping back into that state like you did when he first fell." I thought about it.

"All right. But I want to find out what happened to him. I want to know why he was accused of temptation." My mother who I now knew was adopted nodded. "You have every right to do so." I walked out. Angel Corel came up. He had a cheery smile plastered on his face and he was bouncing slightly. He looked like an overexcited child.

"Hey! I couldn't help but hear that you want to find out what happened to angel Atem. I know some stuff…come to the cliff at midnight and I'll give you the information." I nodded. "Great!" His grin got even wider and he clapped me on the back. I frowned as I watched him go. There was something wrong with the way he had greeted me, almost as if he were too cheerful. I shrugged the thought off. It was probably just his personality, I didn't need to worry.

That night at midnight I went to the cliff and looked out. It was chilling to think that my lost brother had fallen from this cliff. I heard something behind me. Before I could turn around someone pushed me off the cliff. I panicked trying to flap back up to the cliff but my wings wouldn't work. I turned about in the air until I couldn't tell up from down, left from right. Everything was just a blur of color. I gave up and let myself fall, hoping for my life it didn't kill me. My only consolation was that the script of the fallen hadn't been read. As long as that hadn't happened I was a lost angel. At that I blacked out.

End chapter

Sorry if this is short. It was seven pages long on my word document.
