Disclaimer: Hiya, people! Okay, so I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh but Kazuki Takahashi does. Okay let's move on.

A/N: Okay now, this is actually a remake on my fic that I put up last year. I didn't like it and so did not wish to continue it the way it was so I made it more to my liking rather than my friends. Still using the ideas they gave me but changing Lana's reasons to do things. Anyhow, read to find out what I'm talking about. Also, there will be some original characters, and characters will be OOC just 'cause I don't think I could keep them all in character. I will try though.

Warnings: This is and AU. There will probably be YAOI and YURI later on. If you don't like those types of things, don't read this.

Okay on with the story!

Prologue

"Forever more, I shall hate him. He is a destroyer of life. He has committed an ultimate crime against my loved ones and me, in which I cannot forgive. And yet for all his crimes he still lives on. After all this time he could have just died and let so many live in peace but he had to be stubborn and come back and haunt us... no, destroy us," came the voice of Lana.

Small and fragile in looks caused by her short stature for being sixteen. Her hair had golden highlights, glowing with the light of a dimmed sun, reflecting off the rarest of gold. Staring at the floor her seemingly innocent eyes were filled with hate and anger. Such emotion covered the majestic looks which came with her hazel-green eyes. She used her eyes to show how proud she had been to help her friends with the kindness only shown in them, but also used them to watch so many deaths. Her eyes even glowed with pride at seeing the blood of anything living.

A rose When she was smaller, a dear friend of hers had said that was what represented exactly who she was. A rose she had been called. A beautiful creature, whose dark secrets were hidden by her jolly nature.

"Then do you hate me? I am of the past, and I am one with you yet I loved him then, and I love him now. I shall continue to love him forevermore. There is no way you can change that."

"Be silent Leal Kevean. You're only a spirit that lived on as a memory. In a way you're no better then him. Then again instead of torturing souls in your state of amnesia, you asked for help and got it. If I had not taken you in what would have you done?" Lana said with a crazed smirk.

"Waited...waited for one who would," Leal stated looking down at Lana. They looked almost exactly alike only Leal's highlights were purple and the brown in her eyes was replaced by purple. Lana giggled in response.

"You can love him all you want, even though it would be better to stop acting like a love sick fool. Just don't be surprised if I am the one to kill him or send him to Osirus. Whichever you prefer," Lana said turning her head toward the spirit.

"He has hurt me more then you but while I forgive him you still want to kill him. What if his hikari is as "nice" as your cousin makes him out to be? And why would you punish him but not the one who ripped the final shreds of your family's sanity?" Kevean said stiffening, as Lana glared at her. She despised the look Lana was giving her. Her face was so childlike yet her eyes held death itself within them. What scared her the most was that she knew she had the same eyes, and she hadn't stop her counterpart from spilling the blood that through time, resulted in that glare.

"The one who destroyed my family only did so because of that moronic pharaoh. Once again everything leads back to him. If that child protects him, I'll get rid of him too. I'm not heartless though, and you know it. I will look for a way around killing him while still getting rid of the spirit" Lana said looking at her watch. "My cousin will be here soon."

"Yes, but he is not here yet. Were we not talking about how you hate my love? I know my little incident is another reason why you hate him, and it's my fault for bringing in other characters in our little play, but maybe this is not the way to take action. You realize you're using a crime done to me, not you, as a reason to get rid of him."

"It' just one reason, there are few people I care about in life, and you are definitely one of them. As for the other few, he has hurt every last one of them. They do not have the ability to take revenge so it's up to me," Lana said staring out into the darkness she was surrounded in. Then a thought struck her and she began to laugh again. "You love sick fool! After everything he did to you, you will still go back to him, you will still forgive him?! I know you still love him but I thought you were smarter then to return to him. Would you? Would you return to him if I brought you both to life?" Kevean turned away.

"Yes, and you will too. One day you'll fall in love and you'll do anything for the person you love. Even if it means saving the people you hate," Kevean answered, shaking her head in the amazement that she would even ask a question like that.

"No, the past will not repeat itself. I will stay the way I am, unlike you. I will not allow anyone to get in my way. I will destroy the pharaoh just as he destroyed us," Lana said, thinking how much easier it would be if she and Kevean shared the same ideas on the matter.

"Okay Lana whatever you say. For now though, you're being called," Kevean said and disappeared.

"Where is he? Where the heck is he!?!?!?!?!?" Joey Wheeler screamed, his fist clenched. "For his sake he better hope her plane was late!" Joey growled at the door.

"Actually, Joey her plane was twenty minutes early," Tristan said looking at a chart of plane landing times on the internet.

"That means she's been waiting for almost a hour," Tea gasped. "Maybe Tristan should go pick her up on his bike."

"I have no idea what this girl looks like so how am I supposed to pick her out among the crowd?" Tristan interrogated double checking that he had the right plane.

"Well, then maybe Joey should take your bike Tristan. Just think of the poor girl! Sitting all alone, without a friend, new to the country and probably doesn't speak Japanese since she is American. It's just so sad," Tea said looking like she would cry at the thought.

"Grrrr, there is no way Joey is taking my bike. It's brand new! Plus last time I let him borrow one of my bikes he ran it into a poll!" Tristan argued standing to face Tea.

"I wouldn't have if nature girl over here," Joey pointed at Tea, "hadn't gone and started hitting me when a bird flew into the wall!"

"Do you know how much it cost me to fix it?" Tristan yelled at Joey.

"Nothing, Tea and I paid for the repairs," Joey shouted back.

"Well, whoever fixed it then decided to paint it red! So then I had to go repaint it," Tristan argued.

"Don't blame me for that! Tea's the one who got it fixed! Why didn't you ask her who fixed it so they could repaint it back to its original color?" Joey fought back.

Tristan stopped short. "Yah, why didn't I? Tea where did you get it fixed?"

"Malik fixed it," Tea responded amazed that Joey had actually said something smart.

"What!!!! You let a wacko fix my bike!!!! How could you?!?!!?!" Tristan asked Tea, face in shock.

"Well, I figured since Malik was the one putting alcohol out for the birds to drink, which got the bird that almost hit us drunk, which caused me to hit Joey, which caused Joey to hit the pole I figured he should help pay for the repairs. But he insisted on fixing it himself, so I let him. He's good with that kind of stuff," Tea responded calmly.

"Then what happened to the money I gave you?" Joey asked, crossing his arms.

"Oh well, you see...."

A car began beeping outside.

"That's my dad! See you guys later," Joey said running out of Yugi's Game Shop.

"Saved by the beep," Yugi said, as Tea sighed of relief. Author's note: Well, that's the prologue. Fixed up and I think much better since it has the Yu-Gi-Oh cast in it this time. Note the action doesn't start till chapter one. Please review, if ya want more!
