This idea popped into my head while watching the episode where Syrus becomes a zombie.

Elizabeth's POV

I ran through the halls of the school, paying no attention to the Duel Ghouls behind me. I paid attention only to the path I was following. I could hear your voice among the other zombified students and I just ran faster. I ran up the stairs that led to the roof, you and the others never losing your step. I burst through the door and leapt onto the roof.

Damnit, there's nothing to baracade the door with! Oh well, I'll just have to face 'em.

You were the first to come through the door. Your eyes weren't your eyes, at least not the soft silver ones I knew and had fallen in love with. No, these eyes were those of a heartless demon.

Where are you? Where's the real you? Why are you doing this? Don't you recognize me?

"Come on Elizabeth, you know you want to duel," you said in that heartless voice that made me shudder everytime I heard it.

"No, I don't, and you can't force me!" I yelled, stepping back near the edge of the roof.

"Oh yes I can. You're trapped. There's nowhere you can run, and nowhere to hide. No matter what, you'll have to duel me."

"I won't duel you while your like this!"

"Why, because I'm stronger?"

"No, because your not you! You've become a demon! A monster! Just like... Just like I used to be."

I paused, remembering my past insanity.

"So, will you duel? After all, like I said, there's no way you can avoid it."

"I won't become like I was before! You said there was no way to avoid a duel between us, but there is."

"What?"

"Goodbye, Syrus."

I stepped back off the edge of the roof and fell.

You became like this to protect me.

We huddled against each other in the small locker. I started trembling, and you held me tight. A noise came from outside, and I quietly whimpered. A figure slowly walked past us, and tears formed in my eyes. The locker slowly opened, revealing a Duel Ghoul.

"Duel."

You stepped out.

"Duel me, let her go."

The Duel Ghoul nodded.

"Syrus, don't..."

You pressed your lips to mine and signaled for me to leave. You helped me into a vent and I watched as you dueled countless times. Finally you fell and your eyes began to change. I left right after.

Sometimes the real you broke through the demon.

I found myself cornered by Duel Ghouls, you and Chazz at the front of them. I stepped back onto an unstable piece of flooring and fell through. You grabbed my hand and pulled me up, and then everything went black.

I woke up in the infirmary, and Fonda was nearby.

"What? How did I get here?"

"Syrus brought you."

"What?"

"Yeah, he knocked on the door and ran off, leaving you here to get treatment for your wounds."

"So, I guess we might just get him back."

Syrus, I love you.

The ground came closer and closer.

I always have.

I closed my eyes and remembered the time when we were the happiest, which was basically all of our first year.

I always will.

I breathed out and felt a quick dash of pain.

Someday we will be together again, and we will face no more evil.

Even if we must meet again in death.


So, what did you think?
