I don't own YuGiOh.

Explanation

At the hospital, everyone was on edge. No one wanted to talk to anyone else until Tracy got there. Yugi's hand had been severely injured and was wrapped neatly. Joey was the most injured. He had a large gash in his side, but was awake. There were also some minor scrapes where he had slid on the ground. Everyone sat in silence. Tea had gone to find Talon and Tracy almost thirty minutes ago, and hadn't come back yet.

Tea didn't know where to look. She had heard that Talon had bought a house, but she had never actually been to it. She first tried the scene of the accident, but knew they wouldn't be there. Then she tried the school, museum and even Yugi's house; she turned up nothing. It got dark some time ago, and she was about to give up hope when she had an idea- the park! She took off running to the park.

When she got close she heard something she didn't expect- someone was calling to Tracy. Tea stopped to make sure she was hearing right. Yep, that was defiantly her name. She walked into the park and looked around. Seeing Talon, she ran over and looked at him. He had worry all over his face.

"What's up Talon?" Tea asked as she got close.

"I can't find her," Talon replied sadly.

"What happened back there? It looked like Tracy freaked out."

Talon paused for a second and then spoke quietly. "I'd rather tell you when everyone is together." He turned into the park and looked at the tree tops. Tea looked as well, and they search a long time. Soon Tea got frustrated and decided to try a new tactic.

"Tracy!" she yelled, "Yugi's really worried about you." Talon turned to her in surprise, but didn't say anything. She continued, "He needs to know you're o.k., everyone needs to know," She stopped and waited for a reply.

Eyes appeared in the tree behind Tea where she couldn't see and watched Tea as she spoke.

"We're all worried," Tea said sadly. There was a rustle in the tree and Tracy dropped down on her feet. Her face was tear-stained, and her eyes were ocean blue again. Her jet-black hair was falling over her face.

"Yugi's worried about me?" She said weakly. Tea smiled; Talon ran to her and gave her a hug.

Back at the hospital Tracy walked into the room and looked at Joey with miserable eyes. "It's all my fault," her broken voice shattered the silence of the room.

"Tracy I'm glad you're alright," Yugi got up and gave her a hug. She returned it gladly; feeling the safety of his arms.

"I'm glad you're alright Tracy. Can you explain what happened back there?" Joey asked.

"I'll try," Tracy said as she sat on a nearby chair. Talon leaned on the wall, and allowed Tracy to explain, "To start things off, my name isn't Tracy; it's Dragon Heart, and I come from a long line of Egyptian sorcerers that worship the dragons known as the Shadow Flames." Everyone was silent as she spoke. Her voice was straining to tell them her painful history. "I was destined to serve the dragons and be their key to power, but I refused. I knew that want my parents wanted was only what the evil of the Shadow Flames told them. Well, my family was outraged that I didn't want to serve their masters, and attacked me, attempting to destroy me for refusing. Talon saved me and we left our Dragon Temple home, forever. Since then, we've always been trying to save our family from the Shadow Flames.

I came to Domino to find Yugi and request that he help me and Talon defeat them, but… I guess I got distracted by feeling normal for once." She thought back to the happy feelings she had felt on her first day of school for comfort. As she looked up there were shocked and surprised faces staring at her. They seemed to be trying to soak it all in.

"So… you're sayin' you are here to stop these dragons from takin' over the world?" Joey summarized.

"Yeah, you could say it that way," Tracy said, "You guys, I'm sorry you had to get involved."

"Tracy," Yugi said suddenly. He looked up at her, "I am supposed to get involved if I'm to help you defeat them."

"I know but…"

"Enough of this bickering," Talon spoke firmly, "We need to talk strategy." Everyone stopped and listened. "Now Tracy and I know this, but Odious is not the leader of the Shadow Flames and he wouldn't show up first. We need to find out where the first dragon was and who he has taken control of."

"I can find out," Tracy said.

"Wait back up. How do you know it took over someone's mind?" Tristan asked.

Tracy and Talon looked at Tristan, "It's just something they do," Tracy said frankly. She stood up and gave a sigh. "I'm going to see if I can find any other dragon activity."

"Alright," Talon agreed, "You others should get some rest. Tomorrow we're going to start the war." He stood up and told everyone goodnight.

"Talon, where's Tracy?" Yugi asked. Talon glanced up to him.

"Oh she's probably on the roof," he said casually then walked out of the room.

Late that night, Yugi woke up and looked around. He had almost forgotten where he was. It was a dark hospital room. He had slept on the couch of Joey's room. The first thing that came to his tired mind was Tracy. He got up slowly so he didn't wake up Joey, and left the room. Talon had told him she was on the roof and Yugi almost betted that she was still there. When he opened the door the frigid air gave him a chill.

The roof was dark and flat. On the edge of the roof sat a shadow. Tracy was sitting on the ledge almost like a gargoyle statue. He walked up to her. He was afraid to speak to her, but he worked up some courage.

"Tracy?" he said silently. Her eyes stayed closed, and she remained silent. Her stern face didn't change. He decided she was too concentrated and turned to leave. He went to the door and opened it silently.

"Don't go," she said calmly. Yugi stopped and looked back. She hadn't moved, but he was sure she had spoken. He walked up behind her. "Your presence sooths the pain."

"What do you see?" he asked.

She opened her eyes and looked at him with sorrow. "I see darkness. Darkness everywhere." She looked back toward the city. "Yugi, I don't know how this is going to end or what's going to happen."

"Neither do I," Yugi said as he too looked out toward the city.

"Can I speak to Yami?" she asked Yugi. Yugi and Yami switched.

"Yes?" Yami asked. She looked up at him.

"Do you remember your past?"

He looked down sadly, "No."

"I had a past just like you did, but… I can't remember it either."

"You had an ancient past?"

"Yeah. It had something to do with the Shadow Flames. I've had dreams about some of it, but they don't tell me much. Except that I was to destroy the Shadow Flames." She relaxed from her awkward position and sat down facing the door. Yami leaned on the edge.

"I do know I was a pharaoh that protected the world from evil," he said.

She looked at him and studied his face. "Yes. You where the pharaoh that locked the Shadow Flames away." He looked at her with a smile.

"I wish I could remember how I did it."

There was a silence. Tracy stood up and stretched, "Well, we'd better get some sleep so the others don't think we've stayed up all night." They both headed back inside. When they got to Joeys room, they stopped. Tracy had to go home, because there wasn't enough sleeping space in the room.

"Well, I guess this is goodnight," Yami said nervously. They stood for a second. Then, Tracy gave Yami a quick deep hug and trotted off.

"See ya tomorrow!" she called back. Yami was left in shock. He watched her walk down the hall, and then went back onto the room think about what Tracy had said.

Well that one was long! I hope you liked it. The story is getting harder to write because I barely know what to do next. (That's why it takes a while for the next chapters)

I thank my loyal readers! All three of them: Stream strider, Silver Rose, and Rex the Emerald Dragon. Ya'll have been a TON of help with my story.

The next chapter will be here soon! (Hopefully…)
