Kitten's Notes: Hope you guys liked the third chapter. I began this one shortly after posting the third so hopefully this will be as good as you guys suspect it to be ^_^ *sweat-drops* I've just finished my first year of college *bounces along to a YYH song* so all is good and hopefully I'll be updating more often now.

******************** -- Dark Pyramid -- ********************

Yuugi chuckled darkly, watching the third Light's battle with the demon he had sent just mere minutes ago via a black orb that floated inches away from his palm. Yami had been right -- everything he owned and every power he had was now his own. The cruel smile faded from his face when he thought about the former high lord. Last night had been magical, to say the least, something he had wanted for so long to happen. Yami had been right once more -- they never needed the Lights, they were just Horus's worthless fools trying to stop wonderful things from happening to bring forth a dark world, which would be perfect in every aspect. If only they could see how beautiful the world would be ruled by darkness, ruled by Shadows. He slowly clenched his hand, the black orb disappearing as he vanished into the darkness of the pyramid, going to his private bedchambers. The dark world would happen, one way......or another. Even if his golden-haired love didn't agree.........

********************

Ryou lay on the twisted black silk sheets, staring upward into the seemingly endless black ceiling. His arms rested under his head and the silk pillows. His normally cold expression was gone, replaced by uncertainty and sadness. Yuugi...... Just seeing the little one so engulfed by lies and darkness was enough to send a shiver down his spine. And Otogi......clueless as always and thrusted into something he wanted no part of. The black-haired teen would have had to choose a side sooner or later, though, Seth had just chosen for him too early. Ryou wasn't even sure if Otogi had any darkness. A smirk curled as he disappeared and reappeared in the third lord's chambers. The green-eyed boy was asleep, a fitful one but nonetheless asleep. Ryou's fingertips gently brushed his forehead, something flashing through his mind before he decided that was enough. He once again teleported to his room and went into the same position on the bed he had been before closing his brown eyes and venturing into the memories he had just acquired [1].

******************** -- flashback - Otogi's Memories -- ********************

Twelve-year-old Otogi sat in his room, typing something up on the computer when the phone rang. He picked it up, gently placing it in the cradle of his neck before continuing what he was doing.

"Moshi, moshi. Otogi residence, Ryouji speaking."

An older voice on the other end of the phone coughed. <"Ah, yes. Young Ryouji, I'm afraid I have bad news about your parents.">

The child froze. His parents had supposed to be coming home today from a business trip over in America. "Yes, what about them?"

<"I'm sorry to tell you this, Ryouji, but......the flight your parents were on was hijacked. They're......dead.">

He stopped what he was doing, taking the time to process the words. His mother and father......the only two who cared about him......were dead? But...... The phone dropped to the floor, forgotten.........

******************** -- end flashback - Domino High School -- ********************

Shaadi barely dodged the demon's next attack, just the tip of his silver wings becoming charred by the acid the demon had launched from his mouth. Soul energy gathered at his palm and he threw the attack towards the demon.

"Light's Arrow!" A young voice caught his attention before a silver feather arrow from above pierced through the demon's head, shattering his body and ending the fight. The Egyptian teenager looked upward, seeing a small black-haired child with the golden arch still in his hand. A blonde was next to the child, one he had seen around the school. So these were the two Nephthys had found......

The two landed gracefully on their feet, the arch disappearing from the child's hand. There was silence between the three before the upperclassman spoke. "So you are the ones Nephthys found. I've heard a lot about you around the school, Katsuya Jounouchi, not a lot of them good but Nephthys told me you are meant to be our champion." Shaadi turned his blue gaze towards Mokuba, emotionless. "And little Mokuba, the one Seth adopted as a brother and betrayed when the time was right."

"The high elder told us you'd test our minds and see where our loyalties lie," Jounouchi spoke smoothly, disregarding his Brooklyn accent. "So go ahead. I have nothing to hide from you, Maoba."

"As you wish." Shaadi took a golden key-like trinket out from under his jacket and around his neck, holding it out towards the blonde's forehead. With a sharp twist, Jounouchi's mind had become his playground.

******************** -- Dark Pyramid, Yuugi's chambers -- ********************

Yuugi chuckled darkly, watching everything that was going on through a mirror this time, a cold smile curling. It was perfect, simply perfect. The fact that one of his pathetic drones was destroyed hadn't bothered him -- it had only been a decoy to destroy Heaven's trust in Jounouchi as their saviour. He stood, walking over to the mirror and placing a hand against it, closing his eyes and feeling the dark power radiating from his fingertips. He started to chuckle again but it grew into an insane laugh. Oh yes, Jounouchi would feel nothing but pain and hurt from this......and he would be there to turn those brilliant silver wings dark with hatred. He would be there to turn Heaven's greatest champion against them and into his own Angel of Death. The blonde was destined to be his, one way or another.

Yuugi's eyes snapped open, the cold smile becoming cruel as he lifted his hand away from the cold glass. "Mazaki!" he snapped, never taking his eyes off the glorious scene. He had kept her body around to be used as a pawn, his own personal servant. She had no soul, no life force like the other two Dark Lord's servants did. He liked it better that way -- if they were......aware of what had become of them and it would only make them annoying.

The soulless body stepped away from the darkness that had shrouded it before and Yuugi looked it over, frowning. What use was giving clothes to a slave that couldn't dress itself without awareness? "Yes, Yuugi-sama?"

"We'll be having a......guest soon. Go and fix up a room, just to make yourself useful for once in your pathetic existence." It paid the last part no heed and only bowed, walking out of the room. Yuugi's frown deepened, amethyst eyes going back to the mirror and the cruel smile returning. Jou-chan would be his soon just as destiny had it planned.........

******************** -- elsewhere -- ********************

Shaadi walked down the corridors of Jounouchi's mind, horrified by what he saw. He had seen many minds over his years of existing and yet......nothing disgusted him more than the blonde's. Apparently he and the supreme Dark Lord had been in a relationship before Jounouchi learned the reason for his existence. He had been raped by his father, cut himself since his mother left with his little sister, got into fights with other boys just to feel the pain...... No. He wasn't pure enough to be Heaven's saviour. Nephthys had to be mentally ill to say this......child was the Chosen One the Heavens had dreamed of since the everlasting war had begun.

Outside, the trance was broken. Jounouchi opened his eyes only to find himself being backhanded by the Egyptian teenager. A rush of pain arched through his body and with it came the undeniable pleasure he felt from it. A disgusted look was in the upperclassman's eyes, Mokuba only looking between the two of them, wondering what had gone wrong. Shaadi lowered his fist, glaring.

"Nephthys must have been brain-dead to believe you were Heaven's champion," he snarled, placing the ankh back around his head. "Disgusting. You aren't pure enough, baka [2], you'll never be pure enough to reach Heaven's standards." With that, the half-Light turned abruptly and walked away. "Never waste my time again, Katsuya, or you will find yourself hanging from the rafters."

Mokuba looked back down at Jounouchi, noticing the blonde was rubbing the cheek that had been smacked. There was a strange look in his cinnamon eyes, something the child had never seen before except in the moment before his so-called brother almost stole his innocence. It was a look of lust. Jounouchi took the physical abuse just to feel pleasure from the pain. It would seem the Heavens would have to find another champion. Giving the blonde a final look, Mokuba vanished, not wanting to be near one who was like his brother incase an idea came to mind.

Jounouchi looked around for the kid, finding Mokuba gone. He stood, an unwanted feeling of loneliness coming over him. Maoba had been right -- he had no purity, never had been the purist of humans thanks to his father. He had never wanted to show that in front of the kid, never wanted that side to be released once again. It caused him nothing but pain.

Arms wrapped around him from behind in an embrace all too familiar. He could feel a body press behind him, a body that fit perfectly into his own arms as if they were meant to be. "I told you I'd come back for you, Jou-chan," Yuugi's voice purred into his ear, dangerously low and sensual. "I knew it would only be a matter of time before Heaven betrayed you." The purr wrapped around his ears like silken fire and the blonde felt cold ice grip at his heart. Gloved fingers linked with his own and he felt a tongue caress his neck. "They played with your mind, made you believe you were someone special. I can offer you sanctuary, Jou-chan, sanctuary from the Heavens and a world that doesn't need nor want you. All you have to do is......accept." Yuugi chuckled darkly, moving around the taller boy so he was facing him. "You could have revenge on all that hurt you, scarred you mentally or physically, have them at your feet begging for mercy."

'He's right,' a nasty little voice in Jounouchi's mind taunted in a cruel hiss. 'Why would Heaven have wanted you anyway? You're just a worthless fool, you're not pure, never have been since you became a masochist, no thanks to daddy.' Jounouchi looked up, surprised to find that during his thinking Yuugi had transported them to a place he could only assume was the Dark Pyramid.

"I want to help you, Jou-chan," Yuugi's voice purred into his ear as the shorter teen sat him down on a rather large black-sheeted bed. "The only way I can do so is if you become one of us, a Shadow." The blonde had made up his mind. He closed his eyes and titled his head back, exposing his bare neck and giving his koibito his answer. If Heaven was going to turn its back on him, then he would do so to Heaven and the rest of the world..................

******************** -- the Heavens -- ********************

"Impossible!" Horus exploded when the guardian told him of Jounouchi's treachery. "The champion is chosen from birth due to a pure heart! Katsuya was this generation's purist!"

"That was what you wanted to believe, my lord," Malik spoke smoothly, arms crossed over his chest. "His parents forgot about what Nephthys told them at his birth, therefore they were free to hurt the boy as much as they wanted."

Horus sighed, shaking his head in shame. "Then the world is doomed I'm afraid. There's nothing we can do against the Shadows without a chosen one."

"So now you realize that without me you are nothing," a voice familiar to the both of them hissed from the shadows around the heavenly throne room. Malik moved in front of Horus to protect the Egyptian god from an attack, bringing the sennen rod up to defend. Jounouchi laughed as he walked out of the darkness, dressed in a black leather attire the two recognized as the Shadow's military uniform. His once glorious silver wings had been tainted black with treachery, hatred, anger and the sins bestowed upon him by his parents. A sword was attached to the belts around his waist, the jewels on the hilt sparkling like diamonds.

"Traitor," Malik spat while the other blonde only ran a hand through his hair. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart!"

Jounouchi's laughter became almost hysterical, opening his eyes to show they were the crimson orbs of a vampire. "Guardian, simply because you know that by yourself against me you are nothing. I am not that pathetic child you all knew. I am the Angel of Death for the Shadows and I bring a warning." He looked around to see if the both of them and anyone else within the room was listening. "I will kill every single Light before this is done." With that, he disappeared back into the darkness.
