Wind swept angrily throughout the heavens. Fire water and electricity followed. A dark haired man attempted to escape the attack, but was struck. Weakly, he fell to the ground. A blonde man stared at him coldly, sky blue eyes bearing into him.

"You are hereby banned from Eden. You shall join Lucifer in Hell."

The ground disappeared below the terrified dark haired one and he fell into the fiery pits of Chaos.


1000 years later��


"Alright. One more time from the top." a male voice rang out from inside a garage.

"Do we have to?"

"Yes! We are never going to get better if we don��t practice Yuy."

"Jeez. You don��t have to be so mean I was just joking!"

The first boy growled a bit but shook his head and sighed. He picked up his bass guitar and tossed the strap over his shoulder.

"Ready?" he ask, running his hand through his short brown hair.

"Yeppers!" his partner responded, doing the same with his guitar, only getting his stuck in his short purple hair. "Itai��"

"Moron. I��m telling you you need to fix your hair. We��re never going to go pro if you keep tangling your hair like that."

"Aw leave Yuy alone Jareth. Jeez you��re so harsh to the poor boy." a light blue haired girl with drum sticks snapped, hitting the other over the head with them.

"Ow! Yun you are so evil! Just because he is your brother does not give you the right to hit me!"

"Whoo hoo go sis!" Yuy laughed, pumping one of his fists in the air.

The said girl then walked over and thwaped her brother over the head.

"You practice. I want to be a famous rock star one day. I don��t know about you two, but if you don��t straiten up, I��ll find another band and go from there."

"We��ll be good Nee-san I promise!" Yuy pouted, rubbing his offended purple head.

"And I do somewhat agree with Jareth sweetie. Your hair is a tad��different��"

"You��re just mad cause my hair is spiffier than yours!" Yuy pulled at his hair. All his life he was ridiculed for it. It was short and boyish in the back, but in the front it was long and made him look like a girl. It went from long to short, looking like a girls hair style.

"It makes ya look gay man." Jareth remarked.

"Shut up! I am not!" The two looked each other in the eye, lightning shooting between them.

"Ok boys ok! This is quite enough. Can we please practice now?" Yun sweat dropped and smiled. Those two were always arguing, but somehow they managed to be best friends and band mates.

"Alright! One more time from the top!" Yuy smiled.

Everyone was ready quickly and the song began. Yuy had the electric guitar and was lead vocalist. Jareth had the bass guitar and was back up vocals. Yun had the drums and was also back up vocals. Alone, they could have made it, but together they sounded like stars.

Practice was over for the day with, as usual, no one applauding. They were shunned from their street for playing ��weird�� music. People just walked by and held up their noses. Yuy frowned and began to take off his guitar.

"It��ll be ok. One day, bro, one day they will see you. Your talent."

"..thanks sis. Alright, everyone to my house! Its time for food man!"

"Don��t you mean our house genius?" Yun rolled her eyes.

"Yeah that! Come on J man lets go get some grindage!"

Jareth rolled his eyes, but followed his best friend anyway.

Yun smiled and shook her head. Her brother was a complete idiot but never let himself be down, even though his life dream was staying that way, a dream.

Their parents died two years ago one week from that day in a terrorist attack caused by some cult. Ever since they have been living off of the government and Yuns job. Yuy had no way to work so he stayed home and took care of the apartment. They were trying their luck in the music business as a wish from their father. He always told them that one day, Yuy would be a singing star. Since he could first speak, he had the voice of the angels. Of course, their father was a big money man and would sell naked pictures of them online for money if he ever had the chance. Luckily they had their mother, who trained Yuy more on his voice and always took good care and loved them.

Yun sighed. They were from a very loving family��why did something that terrible have to happen to them? Even though their parents were gone, they still tried to maintain a good life. Well, as good as they could get it.

"Yuy? What are you cooking?"

"��nothing��"

"Yuy��"

"What?" he pouted.

"How many times do I have to tell you��"

"About not cooking cause I suck at it right?"

"Exactly. Now get the heck away from the kitchen and spare us the stomach ache will ya?" Yuy smiled goofily at her and nodded, dragging his friend to the ��writing�� room.

"So you got any ideas?"

"Nope."

"Yuy if you don��t get out of this slump, or whatever you want to call it, we��re never going to get anywhere."

"I know��but I cant think. Its almost my anniversary and well��"

"Look. I know you��re still upset over the loss of your parents, but you cant let it ruin your life."

"I know��its just��"

"I understand. You want a girlfriend dontcha?" Jareth looked at him with ��that look��.

"You are such a jerk do you know that? Why do you keep hounding me about a girlfriend?" "Because. You��re almost eighteen years old and you��ve never have a girlfriend. That is just sad and it doesn��t look good."

"Are you trying to say��"

Jareth bit his lip, smiling.

"You are such a freak do you know that?"

"Am I?"

"Yes. Now we need to think here. OUTSIDE the gutter, J. Please spare me."

"Fine fine. ��You would look cute in a wedding gown though��"

"Jareth��" Yuy stood, fist flaming and eyes glowing. "I am going to KILL YOU!!!"

Jareth laughed like a maniac and ran down the hall, out of the building and off to who knows where. "AND STAY OUT!"

Yuy walked victoriously into the kitchen to where his sister was looking at him like he had sprouted another head.

"You have serious issues, you know that?"

"Did you hear what he said?!" Yuy half pouted.

Yun sighed and headed over to their small refrigerator.

"Ah crud we��re out of milk. Yuy be a dear and go to the corner market and fetch me some would ya?"

"Yeah sure sure. Need anything else while I��m out?"

"Um��actually��" Yun turned around and held out a list about half a mile long. "I was hoping you��d say that!"

Yuys eyes widened and he grinned, scratching the back of his head. ��Oh great. Now I get to go shop for an hour.��

Yun began blabbing about the right kinds of foods to buy while Yuy was gathering money and his shoes, which liked to hide from him. "And make sure the tomato is RED this time, I don��t like cooking brown ones. And the milk should be white. And no cracked eggs I can do that myself��yellow bananas, not green ones��did I forget anything?"

"The cereal box should be closed."

"Oh yeah, how could I forget that one?"

"Yun I got it. You give me this speech every time I go shopping."

"Well you do something stupid every time you go shopping."

"��" Yuys face drooped. Why did she always have to be right?

Yun twirled her finger in her blue pigtail and scratched her cheek. Her sapphire eyes stared off into space trying to think of one more thing for Yuy not to ruin. "Ah that��s it! The onions are supposed to be white, not"

"Purple I know."

Yun smiled. "Then that��s it sweetie! You got the money?"

"Yep. One hundred dollars. The months grocery spending."

"You spend it all and remember what will happen?" Yuns eyes glazed over a bit.

"You��ll rip out my heart and hand it to me!" Yuy smiled, looking like a small child.

"Exactly. Now off you go!"

"Bye Yun! See you in about an hour!" Yuy slipped on his shoes and ran out of the building.

The sun was high in the sky and a warm breeze blew. Yuy stood at a stop light, his purple hair blowing with the breeze. He patted his jeans pocket to make sure that the money was still there. Smiling at the confirmation, he began to cross the street at the green turn signal. The sidewalk was crowded and he had to fight his way down the walkway. "I am so going the back way home��if I survive this��ow��"

He shoved past a few more people and reached the sanctuary of the market. "All right!" with the speed of light he pulled out a shopping list and grabbed a cart. People stared at his enthusiasm.

"Now, to the produce!" he made a mad dash towards the veggie section, running by so fast that people flew halfway across the store. Yuy smirked evilly as he tossed vegetables into his cart. "Now, to the meats!" A manager called security to go see what was causing all the chaos, but they were blown aside by the raging wind that was a shopping Yuy. A girl with light brown hair smirked as the kamikaze wind flew by.

"Yun let you go shopping alone again?"

Yuy stopped at the recognition of the voice.

"Hey Yukiko! What are you doing here?"

"Shopping?"

"Makes sense."

Yukiko smirked and giggled a bit. "So Yun sent you here alone?"

"Yeah, she��s cooking and needed some stuff."

"I see. So how is the band doing?"

"��not so good. We cant ever get a gig or anyone to listen to us."

The girl smiled evilly. "What would you do if I told you that I could fix that?"

"We��ve talked about this. You are just out of college, I don��t want you to waste all of your money on me."

"Too late. I��ve already set up a studio for you. And a record label with a larger label. They want to hear you."

Yuys eyes were large and he was speechless.

��Three��two��one.�� Yukiko counted.

"Really? You��re kidding me? I love you so much! Risk going broke for us! You wont regret this! I promise! We��ll be the best bad ever!" Yuy screeched, hugging his Hahaue like death was after him.

"Ok ok! Let me go! Cant breath Yuy!"

"Sorry, but you really didn��t have to do this."

"Yes I did. It was your parents dying wish. For me to always look after. And I figured that since it was almost the anniversary, I should try and do something nice."

Yuy smiled. Yukiko was his mother figure. She had been since they first met back when they lived on the same street.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"No please give it back!" a little boy cried.

"Why? So you can play roll the ball? Forget it! You��ll never be a cool big kid like us!" a bigger boy and his friends nagged.

"Hey. What are you boys doing?" a girl with a long braid asked, running to the crying boys side.

"Don��t give him sympathy! He��s going to grow up to be a wimp! We��re toughing him up!"

"Souta if I hear you doing anything bad to him again I swear you wont know what hit you!"

"But nee-san��"

"Don��t you nee-san me! Go home!"

The boys pouted a bit but followed the boy home. The braided girl turned to the scared boy.

"Are you ok? Did they hurt you?"

"��no��"

"Its tough being the new kid on the street I know. But don��t worry. They wont be mean anymore. I��ll protect you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ever since then, she had been a mother to him.

Yuy leaned up and kissed her cheek and smiled.

"You have nothing to worry about. We will kick major music butt!"

"So, major music butt kicker, do you have a name for this little band of yours hm?"

"Course I do! Eden."

"Eden? Why in the world did you pick that?"

"You know, the place where angels reside. Mom always said I had an angelic voice so��why not?"

Yukiko smiled and patted his head. "You��re so smart."

Yuys eyes got big and childish. "Yeah! And when I get old like you I can go to college and be smarter and get a diploma in words and��"

��This kid is going to kill me one of these days�ġ�

"Maybe if I try hard I can be as smart as you but only when I get old��"

Yukiko flinched at the ��o�� word but said nothing. She smiled and patted his head, sweat dropping. "Well Yuy it has been nice seeing you, why don��t you go finish shopping before you get in too much trouble with Yun?"

"Oh yeah I totally forgot! Bye Yukiko! We��ll call you tonight!"

"Alright. Bye sweetie."

Yuy finished his shopping in record time so Yun wouldn��t be too mad at him.

"Now for the short cut through the woods��"

Behind the grocery store was a small patch of trees that connected with his street. The only problem was that there were big bugs, evil trees, a wide creek, and a bike path that people liked to race motorcycles on and be stupid. More deaths occurred on that thing than on the highway. An attempt was tried to block it off, but people still rode on it, despite risking a heavy fine. Yun had prohibited Yuy from ever taking that short cut ever since she was almost run over.

��Oh well��what Yun doesn��t know wont hurt her.�� Yuy thought, sliding down a slop. He hit the ground and stumbled a few feet, nearly falling into the creek.

��So what if I��m not the most orthodox of all people. I didn��t fall in.�� he smiled victoriously and walked over to the log that was used as the bridge from one side to the other.

��Ok��baby steps��little tiny baby steps�ġ�

After successfully crawling to the other side after realizing ��baby steps�� were too much for him, Yuy got up and fought his way through the ��Blair�� trees, named after the Blair Witch project since they had strange things hanging down off of them. It wasn��t little people, but it still looked weird. It was what seemed to be straw, and once it got on you it wouldn��t come off. Yuy wove through it like it was trying to eat him, a face of terror plastered on him.

��I hate that stuff��ew�ġ�

Once through the trees, he hit the path. He looked both ways, a tumbleweed blowing past on the right and a sign that said ��Welcome to No Where�� on the left.

��Looks safe��I don��t hear any motors or anything�ġ�

One foot went out on the dirt and he quickly glanced around again. Still nothing. Another foot followed the first and he looked around again. Still nothing. He sighed and started to walk casually across the six foot wide path.

��Is this the place? Guess I should land somewhere desolate. Wait��is that a��person?!��

A noise caught Yuys ear and he looked up to his left. A motorcycle was headed right at him from what seemed to be the sky.

��What in the�ġ�

As the object got closer, Yuy dropped his groceries and covered his face.

��That thing is going to hit me!��

The squealing of tires was heard and a small wind over took the boy. He opened his eyes and stared at the creature in front of him.

��Are those��wings?��

Transparent wings sprouted from the persons back twitched a bit but were gone in a seconds time. "Are you okay?"

Yuy looked up at the person speaking. It was a man with short blonde hair and piercing sky blue eyes.

"I said are you okay?"

Yuy stared at the man. He had very sharp features which stood out more because of his all black outfit.

The man got off of his motorcycle and walked over to the speechless boy.

��He��s beautiful�ġ�

"Guess you��re not."

He began to pick up his groceries for him and stuff them back into their bag. Yuy just stared, unbelieving.

"Come with me."

"��huh��?" Yuy was snapped out of his admiration.

"I��m going to take you home. Or would you like to just stand there with that carp look on your face?"

"��"

��His eyes are so cold�ġ�

"That��s what I thought. Now here." the blonde extended his hand. "Hop on."

Yuy snapped out of his thoughts when he realized what was going on. "You want me to��ride that thing?! Yun wouldn��t allow it! Those things are death on wheels!"

"Do you want to go home or not?! I don��t have the time or the patience to argue with you! I am very busy!"

"Very busy doing what? Breaking the law! Its illegal for you to motorcycle on this road!"

"Whatever. Get on."

Yuy looked at him again. He was somewhat worried about leaving him there. Why he wasn��t sure. "��alright."

"Good. Now where do you live?"

Yuy bit his lower lip in thought. ��Should I really tell this guy where I live? He doesn��t look dangerous��but�ġ�

"Are you a serial killer?"

The blonde looked taken aback for a second then started to laugh, scaring Yuy a bit.

"I��m serious! I saw this show on TV one time and the guy looked as innocent as an angel but he went around and killed a whole bunch of people!" Yuy emphasized the whole bunch by waving his arms around, looking like a kid.

The man smiled. "No I am not a murdering angel. Now I think we should go before someone starts to worry about you."

Yuy looked up at him. Did he know about Yun? Did Yun send him? Was she trying to find out if he still took the back way home? He frowned and crawled on back of the motorcycle.

"You might want to hang on."

Yuy looked at him and blushed. "Um no I��m ok��"

"Well then take my helmet. The last thing I need is for you to fly off and kill yourself."

"��thanks��"

"Though it would make me feel better if you held on."

Yuy bit his lip again. The blonde started the motorcycle, throwing Yuy back a bit. He squeaked and flung his arms around the man tightly, his eyes clenched shut. The driver smirked and drove toward the town.

"AND JUST WHERE IN THE WORLD HAVE YOU BEEN YUY TENSHI?!?"

"At the store��"

"AND WHO WAS THAT MAN? HUH?!"

"I almost got run over and he offered a ride home��"

"You are a terrible liar Yuy."

"He did almost run me over!"

"Yuy-chan you really need to start looking both ways��oh well. At least you��re alive, ne? And the groceries are still in one piece?"

Yuy nodded and handed her the bags. She patted him on the head and turned to her cooking. Yuy took the opportunity to sneak into his room and let her forget the little incident. Though he never would.

He lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. 'Who was that guy?�� The picture of the man flashed in his mind, making him groan and flop his pillow over his face.

��And why do I care? He is just a guy that nearly killed me and gave me a free ride home. Nothing more��but for some reason��I feel��like writing�ġ� Yuy sat up and grabbed a deep violet spiral notebook that had a picture of Jareth, Yun and himself under the word EdEn. It was where he wrote all of their songs.

��Walking along that day, barren roads�ġ�

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you sure?"

"Um yeah. This one looks like my complex��"

"This is the third one. If its not, I��m going to leave you here and let you fend for yourself."

"Yeah this is it! There��s the flag. Thanks, um��what is your name?"

"That is none of your business kid."

"Well that��s rude. If you were to ask my name I would tell you."

"Then what is your name?"

"I don��t know if I want to anymore."

The blonde smirked and got off the motorcycle. Yuy handed him his helmet and he set it on the handle. The boy got his groceries and started to walk to the door.

"Kid."

Yuy turned to look at him. "Huh?"

"What is your name?"

Yuy smiled. "Yuy Tenshi."

"Uriel."
