A/N: I forgot to put this in the prologue, but when I went to see Tomb Raider 2, I was reminded of the legend of Pandora's Box. So, I twisted the Greek myth around to suit my purposes *grin*

Disclaimer: I don't own YGO, and I won't say it again.... -.-

Pandora's Box
Chapter 1




    Mutou Yuugi idly played with the gift box he was given. He already knew what was inside--a puzzle, like all the others he had gotten for his birthday. He threw it aside, rummaging through the other gifts he had gotten. Clothes, a new CD player and a TWO-MIX CD, more clothes, a ¥2,500 gift certificate for Sam Goody, and one box he never noticed before.
    Carefully, Yuugi picked up the box. It seemed as though it were an antique. There was a card of thick parchment attached to the box. In bright crimson ink that looked as though it were still wet, it showed two words: PANDORA'S BOX
    Yuugi remembered the legend of Pandora's Box. Curious to see what kind of joke this was, Yuugi carefully opened the lid, and when he saw nothing inside, he was rather disappointed. The box itself was beautiful, though, so Yuugi thought he might put trinkets and such inside. After a few more hours, Yuugi finally went to sleep.

    "Ra, the next time you send me down to one of those idiot humans, at least have the decency to send me down to a young man, not a woman. I hate women, and not even one you find worthy would make me 'change my ways.' Speaking of which, that will never happen, you hear me?"

~*~*~*~*~

    Yugi woke up with a strong pair of arms wrapped around his waist. Looking behind him, he saw a near exact copy of himself. The figure had to be slightly taller than he was, and definitely better built, but the striking difference between them was that the other had black, leathery wings. The figure stirred slightly, opening his crimson eyes.
    "Figures..." a rich baritone voice came from the figure, startling Yuugi. "I ask the gods to send me to a young man, and instead they send me to a child..." the beautiful young man spat out the last word with hatred.
    At the word 'child,' Yuugi snapped to attention. "I'm not a child, I'm 16 years old..." Yuugi protested.
    "Listen boy, I could kill you in an instant, but I'm forbidden to, since you opened the Box..." he chuckled.
    "Wh....what?" Yuugi asked, now afraid.
    "Boy, leave me be and you'll find yourself better off than if you don't," the figure got up and stretched his arms, legs, and wings as far as he could.
    Yuugi pouted slightly. The figure caught this and scoffed. "You're annoying me, brat, now go away."
    "No."
    "What did you say?"
    Yuugi looked the young man in the eye and said firmly, "I will not go away, since this is my room, my house, and you cannot make me leave. Now tell me who you are or I'll find a way to put you back wherever you came from."
    At the last part, the figure shuffled his feet slightly. "My name is Yamihazeporoevenishakrewaquidegara, and I am... was the leader of the Demons."
    "Can I just call you Yami? I'm not going to even attempt to say your full name..." Yuugi mumbled.
    "Yes, call me whatever you want. After all, you were chosen by the Gods to try and reform me. Key word being try. The first person the Gods sent me to was some airhead named Pandora..." Yami sat on the bed seductively.
    "Then... the legend of Pandora's Box is true?" Yuugi asked.
    "Yes and no. Listen, I just want something to eat and drink..." Yami looked at Yuugi lustfully. //If only the Gods would let me hurt him, I'd gladly stay with him. Just to hear his cries of pain as I force myself onto him.... Damn the Gods forever...//
