High Archangel Ryou's Palace
Japan to Canada Area, Heaven

Ryou was alerted to a high shout and many a "Halt!" outside his bedroom door. Wearily, he sat himself up to look to his heavy ebony door, wondering idly who could be making all the fuss with his guards.

"Go back to your post, Guardian." he heard one of his guards shout "The High Archangel is sleeping at the moment." Ryou groaned, rubbing his temples at the memory. He had sat in a council room for twenty hours straight with over 300 elders over the age of 7000 devising a strategy plan against what was dubbed The Fallen. The Fallen was a group of angels that had thrown everything away and had morphed to meet their greedy wants and needs. They had become demons. Ryou had had a bad feeling for months now…and had it reaffirmed three days ago when one of The Fallen had stepped forward. He had realised that there was a different way then murdering and plundering human souls when his little brother had been raped and killed by one of their own kind. In pure sadness the hideous demon had handed himself to the High Archangel of Heaven.

"Milord!" Came a cry from outside the door. "Milord Ryou! I need to speak with you…about the DEMONS!"

Ryou herd all noise and sound of the scuff going on right in his own hallway end. Pushing the thick comforter back hurriedly he ran to the door and flung it open "You said something about the demons, Guardian?" He asked the tri colour haired boy three feet away calmly. The boy was previously being drug by the arms backwards and supposedly out of the palace. The Guardian's quarters were just inside the walls of the kingdom, and they weren't supposed to leave until their Charge died.

Most of the angels were without rank and just decided where there should be snow, rain, wind, create more angels, and the like; but if you were a Guardian, you had the ability to control one's life. If an angel was born with two sets of wings, then you were given a human to watch out for, one that was born at the same time as you, and as the Guardian slowly matured, his Charge had less accidents, but if the Guardian was killed…then his Charge would have a more gruesome death then if the Guardian had decided that it was time for his Charge to die.

"My Charge has been noticing his two friends acting strange…and I'm starting to suspect a real possession."

Ryou blinked slightly. If a Guardian thought that his Charge was possessed…then his Charge would believe so also. "Who is the Guardian of these friends of your Charge?" He nodded to the guards who released the Guardian.

"That’s the thing, Milord," the Guardian with gold, ebony, and magenta hair stated as he rubbed his arms where the guards had grabbed him "they have none."

Ryou gasped "How is that possible? If they have no Guardian, than they should not even be alive! Are you sure that they have no Guardian?" Ryou asked urgently, grabbing the Guardian's wrist and dragging him towards the council chambers mindless that he himself was merely wearing a silk white button up night shirt and pants.

"I am sure Milord…I have been looking for the two boys' Guardians for the past six months." he said hurriedly.

"What's your name, Guardian?" Ryou asked quickly.

"Y-Yami." the man said, taken aback.

Ryou stopped at an ominous door on the other side of the council chamber "Guardian Yami, Should you ever reveal to anyone what is behind this door…so help me with all that is pure you will not live to regret it."

Yami nodded hurriedly, startled at the very serious tone that his normally gentle lord had taken. "No one will hear from my lips, Highness."

Ryou nodded, taking a key from around his neck and opening the door. A set of stairs led upwards in a spiral. Ryou took a breath before heading up the stairs, hearing Yami follow and the door close and lock behind them.

After minutes, maybe hours, of climbing, Ryou shuddered as a wave of dark magick passed over him and through his very being. "Seto?" he called carefully, not wanting to startle the homicidal man that preferred isolation. "Something has been drawn to my attention." He panted slightly as he reached the top of the stairs. He heard Yami gasp behind him as the brown haired man turned to face them from the only window in the tower.

"And this concerns me and my knowledge?" The man asked coolly, narrowing his bright blue eyes. Turning from the window, the brunette gracefully walked over to a very elegant armchair, seating himself and adjusting his wings…

…his four black feathered wings.

Ryou merely sighed at his intimidating show. "This is Guardian Yami…and he says that the one he looks after has friends without Guardian Angels."

The one named Seto blinked slightly "No Guardian Angels? Didn't you tell me that every being born to earth has a Guardian?" At Ryou's nod Seto paused to think. Yami was a little more confused. How could this man not know that every earth being had a Guardian? All of them had been brought up to either be a Guardian, or assist a Guardian. "I think I remember one of the others -Akunadin I believe -talking about 'he who can breach all three worlds…but not without becoming all'…what ever the hell that is supposed to mean."

Yami again gasped, this time at the use of the name of the realm that every pure angel and almost all with a religion on earth despised. "Highness…may I be so bold as to ask…who is this?" he asked slightly panicked.

You don't need to know anything." Seto hissed, glaring in a way so strong that it should have pierced Yami’s soul.

And to Seto’s surprise Yami glared back.

Taken by surprise, Seto blinked before smirking. With a shrug, he stated, You and Ryou here are the only ones with spines. I'm surprised there's even two of you." Yami glanced at Ryou, noting with surprise that his Royal Highness hadn’t reacted at all the being named without his honorific.

Ryou rolled his eyes "Seto…what are the signs of possession?"

"Possession?" Seto inquired, raising an eyebrow "They don't posses. They can force their wills on others…but only with a certain item that has been hidden since the last battle between demons and angelics in the land of Egypt before Earth even began." with a sigh, he shifted so he was more comfortable "What do they look like? It is said that someone that is extremely different from every one else may in fact be someone who can actually destroy all levels of earth; including Heaven.

Both Ryou and Yami gasped, but Yami shook up the courage to answer "My Charge…"

"Come again?" Seto inquired, raising an eyebrow in question.

"The one he cares for." Ryou said quickly, making Yami again wonder about this man. First he doesn't know about a Guardian, and then he doesn't know what a Guardian's Charge is?

With a sigh, Seto waved his hand "Continue." He practically demanded.

Yami took a great swallow, wondering idly what it was about this guy- other then his black wings- that managed to unnerve him so badly. Usually he was the king of calm. "Right…My Charge looks strikingly like me…but with indigo eyes, and his best friend, Ishtar Malik, has blonde hair, tanned skin, and indigo eyes as well…um…his newest friend, who hasn't really been acting any different then he normally does, but has raised my suspicions from the start, is Bakura Memphis. A white haired boy…” he glanced at Ryou slightly, surprising himself when he noticed he was comparing his lord to what he dubbed the demon child. "Erm…he looks startlingly like Milord Ryou…except that his hair has a mind of it's own and his eyes are different colours. His right…no, left eye is indigo…but his right is crimson. If memory serves me correctly he has a scar over his right eye and has deathly pale skin."

Seto looked up curiously "The name Bakura sounds startlingly familiar…but I think it was Bakura Zahur not Bakura Memphis." Seto shook his head "I have no idea about either of them." he sighted, pinching the bridge of his nose as if to ward of a headache "I can go down there and check it out for myself if you want."

Yami again gapped. The angels were taught that Earth was the worst place for one of the pure to go, that is was practically suicide of the worst degree!

"Yes, I agree that it would be beneficial to check for ourselves." Ryou said, nodding, making Yami stare openly at his leader. "But you can't go down there by yourself, and I would like to figure this one out with who ever does go down there…" he sighed, shaking his head "but it‘s near impossible for me to go. I shall have to speak to the council about this." Turning to Yami he smiled "If you would be able to…since it affects your Charge so directly, would you be willing to come to earth with who ever is decided to go?"

Yami again had to rattle up the courage. He wasn't suicidal…but he had always loved a good challenge…and to meet his Charge who loved games so much had been on his mind for years since the poor boy's parent's died. "I will, Highness."

Ryou nodded. "Good. Follow me and we'll set up a council meeting."

Yami did as told, and found himself waiting, three hours later, outside the door to the council chambers that had a meeting on who and when the angels would go to investigate. He hadn't even noticed the hours slip by until the door opening made him jump. Around 1 500 people came out, around 300 elders with about 5 guards each. Eventually the lord's guards came out along with a smiling Ryou.

"Milord?" Yami inquired quietly.

'It shall be you, me, and Seto who go to earth." Ryou stated simply and evenly "We shall tell the people that I have fallen ill and will be taken to the Russia area to get treatment for this unknown illness…and that your Charge has traveled to a different part of the world that your water glass cannot reach."

Yami, having quickly gotten over the initial shock that it was just three of them going, nodded in acceptance. It made sense, considering that when Yuugi had gone to the Egyptian desert with his grandfather, Yami had to fly to that area just to keep an eye on him.

10:59PM- Thursday, January 13
City Square
Domino City, Japan

Seto looked around curiously. He hadn't been to earth in a while…and was wondering how many people would recognise him. He sure as hell hoped not many.

"Ouch!" Cam a disgruntled voice from behind him in the alleyway where his other 'partners' should be appearing.

"Took you long enough." He remarked idly as he rolled his eyes at the short figure who had accompanied them. If it was just him and the little prince, he would've been fine. But no…the stupid tri-colour haired bitch had to follow them. Seto couldn't understand why, but the man iriked him to no days end. "Now get up and stop staring at the ground as if you've never seen concrete before. It's embarrassing."

Yami growled, standing himself up and dusting his clothes off, looking curiously at the stuff Seto called 'concrete'. All he knew was that if you fell and scraped your knee (like his Charge had done on more then one occasion) that it could draw blood. Looking at his palm he dusted the small stones off as he herd a large 'BANG' and a muffled "And I always land in the garbage…". Turning, Yami looked to see Seto helping his lord from a large green metal thing that he had seen his Charge being stuffed into by mean people.

"Kaiba!" An astonished voice called is a shrill tone. Turning, Yami saw a blond boy of about 5'9 (which was better then Yami‘s 5‘'2) wearing a too short green jacket and extra long white t-shirt with extra baggy faded blue jeans. "Where da hell've ya been, Kaiba?" the boy said with an air of authority.

As if you, of all people Jounochi, have a right to know." Seto sneered as he dusted a banana peel out of Ryou's hair. "Let's go." he said as he grabbed Ryou's wrist and started walking, leaving Yami to catch up with his long strides.

"Friend of yours?" Yami asked with a smirk.

"Pft." was the reply as Seto dragged them in the direction of a fancy mansion.

"Thank you for finding the potions to hide our wings, Seto." Ryou said politely, stopping Yami's retort. Yami sighed, catching the hint his lord gave off and closed his mouth. It felt weird to have his wings under the skin of his back. It hurt as well when his wings lost all their feathers and ripped his skin, where the bones now were. It had taken a healing spell to completely close the wound…and Yami was wondering what they would do if one of them accidentally released his wings on earth?

"Here we go." Seto sighed as he took out what looked like a card on a necklace and swiped it through a device that opened the stainless steel gates.

"Mother Mary…" Yami said in awe as a giant mansion was revealed when the vine covered bars of the gates swung forward, revealing an equally vine covered three story manor.

"Well?" Seto asked impatiently, deciding he'd let the twit stare enough “Are you going to stand there looking like and idiot with your moth open as if you're trying to catch flies and have me close the doors on your face, which, trust me, I'd love to do…or are you going to come inside so that no one can say I'm not a good host?"
