Intro: The Earth... is a great place where humanity and all other creatures live and learn to evolve little by little, but this great world has Darkness in it too. Evil beings who wish to conquer this world and everyone.
Only one being stood against them to show everyone the power of light and hope, but this great mythical dragon wasn't able to stop them. He gave his powers and hope to a human that was known by his name, the Dragon Knight!
Before this hero also met his end, he gave the legendary Dragon Sword and his hopes and dreams to the next knight, his youngest son who is destined to become a legend by the sides of his comrades and his love. This hero... is the Dragon Knight of Light!

Volume 3: Episode 32: Part of a Truth. Exceeding one's Limits!
In the previous episode of DKR:
Things went bad for Team Dragon Knight as Kurosaki was in a deathly confrontation against Ulquiorra and even with Dani and later Danny's return; the Substitute Shinigami couldn't win plus when he used the Hollow Mask. Ichigo was about to die until Shadow appeared, saving his life for his own reasons and was about to fight the Espada until Ulquiorra left as he was needed elsewhere.
Meanwhile Yugi and Mew Ichigo, both already exhausted fighting Luppi (I guess) and then Grimmjow are confronted by 3 more Arrancars which two of them being Espadas. The two struggled a lot even when Mew Erika, Naruto, Sonic and Judai appeared to help the duo. Things changed when Yugi went Yin-Yang Dragon Tail 2 and Mew Ichigo's strange boost of power however it was too late as Ulquiorra appeared and easily and almost killed the two instantly.
Witnessing this, an enraged Mew Erika exploded, becoming her unstable Inner Scorpion Mode and about to destroy all of Domino if not by Ulquiorra releasing his full power to silence her. The others then gathered together to protect their injured friends just as Urahara along with Yoruichi appeared to assist them. Left with little choice now, the Espadas were retreated back by Aizen's will.
What will Yugi learned on this day and the consequences in fighting the Espadas?
What will happen next?
And now the conclusion... the following day since the previous episode:
Darkness… that is all Yugi sees as he is lying on the ground, bleeding as he sees his Ichigo also on the ground, almost dying… like his mother. Just the thought of losing her, losing the strawberry that made him smile more than anyone he has ever met… he doesn't want to lose her. He struggles, crawling his way towards her but the more he tries to reach her, the further he gets from her. He tried, with all he had but then the ground he crawled on broke, causing him to yell as he falls to the depths of the void.
Yugi couldn't hold himself from being conscious as he vision turn blank but before it was fully; he saw a light within that void and that light wasn't like heaven… it was purple with red outline and… it was a dragon. The tricolor head tries to widen his eyes as the energy-like dragon comes at him with bright red eyes but to him, it wasn't trying to eat him or bring harm. Yugi reaches his hand, trying to grab hold on the dragon coming at him and then-
Blinking, Yugi looks around looking up at the ceiling at a room he is very familiar with it. He slowly gets up, grunting feeling some pain across his body but not major. He scans the room and this is indeed his room, his home. Yugi checks his clothes and he is wearing his blue pajamas, confirming he was sleeping in his room.
''I'm home?'' He asks himself, getting up from his bed. He first checks the time; he is missing school or rather the day was going to end. He sighs looking around and spots his Millennium Puzzle with his Dragon Sword, both on the table. He frowns putting on the item first around his neck. He grabs the scabbard of his sword with one hand and pulls it out with the other, revealing the broken blade completely destroyed.
The tricolor head isn't surprise though as that means that battle against those Espadas wasn't a dream.
He puts down the sword, sheathing it back and opens the door of his room. Once he did, he immediately receives a pan hitting over his head.
''OWWWW!'' Yugi grunts in horrible pain, sobbing as he rubs his head.
''Hurts right?'' Jenny asks him being the one who hit the young man, crossing her arms with a look of disappointment. Yugi startles, looking up to see her really upset towards him as he gulps. ''N-Nee-san!''
Jenny was furious, well she was but also upset. It was bad enough that last night, some man she never met wearing a green geezer-like outfit as if he sleeps in those clothes, probably never bathed and shaved either, brought her brother who was unconscious. He explained to her that Yugi was almost killed but he was alright now with a happy smile as if it wasn't a big deal. IT WAS FOR HER. She may have ''accepted'' Yugi playing a hero as this Dragon Knight in exchange that he becomes better with his powers. That's the whole reason why she was teaching him how to fight. She thought he would be fine… but that was before this.
''W-what happened? I was well…'' Yugi tries to ask her if she had a clue what happened to him but then he immediately remember the others, changing the subject. ''What happened to Ichigo-kun and the others! I blacked out and-''
Jenny twitched and swung her pan across his face now, causing him to yell out in pain. ''OOWWW!''
''WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF FIRST! From what I was told, you lost a stomach and even your organs!'' Jenny yells at him furious that he could have died and the first thing he asks is if his friends were okay. She can't stand how uncaring he is about his own life or situation above everything else but others.
Yugi eyes her not sure why she's this mad at him.
''Don't worry about Yugi.'' The two turns as their grandfather was speaking with a smile on his face. ''His concern is everyone else before himself.''
Jenny frowns believing what her grandfather says being that it was Yugi being there for him the longest… that and it was Yugi who saved his soul once upon a time. Still it doesn't change how reckless he is putting his life on the line as far as getting kill.
''… I guess.'' She comes to terms, at the moment. She looks back at Yugi, telling him firmly. ''The guy who brought you here told me to give this to you and to see him. He mentioned you knew where his shop was.''
Yugi nods not wishing to place such pressure or worry to others especially his small family. He just wants to protect his love ones but that makes him forget of those worry for him.
''… Thank you and sorry.'' He apologizes to her, knowing well he needs to become stronger so his sister doesn't worry for him. He vows it to her. ''I made you worry for me again. I promise I'll work harder to not let that happen again.''
Jenny eyes him, knowing he will keep that promise but it's her job to worry for him even if he doesn't want her to.
''Just go take a shower, eat something and go.'' She orders him, also knowing he needs to eat and stay health. Yugi nods blushing as he rushes back to his room. She sighs not believing how similar Yugi was to him.
''Idiot…'' Jenny mutters underneath her lips touching above her chest where she seems to be gripping on a necklace underneath her sweater. ''I don't want you to die too. Then again, you're like Oto-san.''
After taking his sister's orders to heart, Yugi fully clean and full sits inside a bus taking him to Karakura Town. He wasn't in the Dragon Speed Burst mood to use that speed boost to himself there faster. For once, he's going to enjoy the trip. Besides, he was already in the bus for an hour and he'll be there in the next 10 minutes or so.
Relaxing his mind of the trauma he went through, Yugi is confident enough to ask his partner what happened after he passed out.
''Do you know what happened to me Atem?'' Yugi asks the Pharaoh on last night. Atem nods going to explain until Yin Dragon's head butts in, roaring angrily. ''ASK US FIRST!''
Yugi startles frighten by how mad he sounds.
''What brother meant was we all saw what happened when you were unconscious, bleeding and dying.'' Yang Dragon apologizes for his dark half's anger while Yin Dragon still roars madder. ''YOU'RE LUCKY YOU HAVE US TO HEAL THOSE DEATH WOUNDS! Though I will admit our healing ability shouldn't have worked so well. Who knew?''
Yugi blushes not meaning to upset Yin Dragon, though a part of him wonder what he meant. He was careless fighting that Espada even though he knew he stood no chance. Atem agree having sense his thoughts but he also knew Yugi had no choice in the matter.
"That man you visited before to learn the Shinigami that Light Yagami had, Urahara Kisuke, and some other and I'll admit attractive woman arrived to help you and the others of Team Dragon Knight.'' Atem begins informing Yugi what had happen. He still remembers that night which was a surprise to him watching all of it. ''Those Espadas then left or rather were forced to retreat. After that, Kurosaki's friend with the healing abilities healed Momomiya and Aoyama, then you and finally the others who got hurt. Those two manage to be strong just as you were, partner.''
Yugi sighs softly glad to hear Ichigo and the others were okay. ''That's a relief.''
Atem nods though the consequence were hard eyeing towards the sealed Dragon Sword. Yugi notices him looking at his sword, getting why.
''And I guess the Dragon Sword broke, again.'' Yugi says though not as sad as Atem imagine, curious as he says. ''You don't sound depressed about it.''
Yugi frowns not sad but off. He was crushed the times the Millennium Puzzle shattered into pieces and yet with the Dragon Sword… it doesn't honestly feel like it was gone.
''I'm not sure but the sword feels fine like it is still okay.'' Yugi states not sure himself. He'll need answers if his sword can be fixed. ''I guess I'll ask Urahara-kun about that too.''
Atem nods in agreement. Eventually the bus stops in its destination. Yugi walks out and immediately is left surprise to see someone sitting in a bench alone. It was Ichigo, his Ichigo, looking down her feet almost sad.
''Ichigo-kun?'' Yugi calls out to her who startles, looking up to see him. She blinks, getting up as she greets him smiling a bit. ''Morning, Yugi-kun. I was waiting for-''
Ichigo is left silent as Yugi rushes to her and immediately hugs her, wrapping his arms around her. She blushes red, almost forgetting the two were in death's stepping stone in their last fight.
''I was worry about you.'' Yugi admits, trying his best not to cry. He couldn't leave knowing he lost her smile. Ichigo blushes more, trying to smile as she slightly pushes him off her.
''Baka-Baka, I'm always fine!'' Ichigo says making an energetic pose while winking. Yugi eyes her and blushes, nodding as she's always fine.
The two walk together to the shop and as they were reaching there, Yugi notices Ichigo wasn't wearing her Mew Pendant Necklace. He blinks as he asks her. ''What happened to your Mew Pendant?''
Ichigo immediately stops, frozen as if he said someone died. Yugi blinks, wondering if something happen but before he asks she turns around and explains acting pretty peppy. ''Um don't worry, it broke during that fight and Ryou, for once, is helping me out fixing it.''
Yugi smiles, glad to hear it… though he couldn't help but notice she wasn't adding the ''Nya'' part. And the look in her eyes; she was hiding something but he has to stay focus to what they came here for.
''Anyway, how's Erika-san?'' Yugi changes subject wondering how the Scorpion Mew Mew was doing.
Ichigo frowns muttering rather sad. ''Erika-chan is well... sleeping. It's not the first time this happened. She goes into a hibernation state whenever she uses 1/16th of the Inner Scorpion's powers. The power strains Erika-chan so much that she shuts down and needs time to recover fully. Ryou is sure however once Erika has better control with her powers that the sleep issue won't happen.''
Yugi frowns not happy to hear that so he hopes Erika recovers soon. Ichigo also frowns as she received a text message from Erika, mentioning something before the fight began.
''Though Erika-chan left a text to me, telling me that the girls will need me more than ever... but I doubt it.'' The red cherry head mutters almost sounding depressed. Yugi gives her a look wondering what she meant by that. He didn't bother asking letting it go.
The two resume and eventually arrive where everyone else were waiting for them.
''You guys took your sweet time huh?'' Ed questions with his arms crossed, not happy waiting for the two love birds taking their long time. ''You two must have done some unhealthy stuff to waist our time.''
Ichigo easily gets mad by that comment as the two were still weak, yelling furious towards him. ''YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FIGHT IRON SKIN SUPER MEN, EDDY!''
''I ALREADY FOUGHT PEOPLE LIKE THAT BEFORE KITTY CAT!'' Ed protests, knowing a thing or two about super hard skin foes, especially a humanoid jerk who loves everything to be his and can turn his body into carbon. Ichigo grunts butting her head to Ed's, actually leaning down to his size level. The young Alchemist becomes angrier, butting his head back as the two were lock head-to-head.
''Guess things remain the same.'' Danny mutters sweat dropping, amaze nothing changed while he was gone.
''Welcome back Danny-kun.'' Yugi greets his black headed American friend, forgetting about him after all that happened. Danny eyes him happy to be welcomed as he replies. ''Yea I'm a little glad to be back.''
''And your cousin?'' Kurosaki questions with an eyebrow up, wondering what happen to Dani. Last he recall, she and Danny had a moment and then she flied off.
Danny sighs figuring someone would ask him that, explaining. ''Well Dani said she needed a break from Japan, went back to Amity Park to see everyone else and basically left me to handle the rest.''
Ichigo nods, getting why after she tried helping him fight Ulquiorra of all people. He still felt shaken, not able to forget the difference of power those two were.
''Um about her Danny-kun.'' Yugi suddenly speaks up, wanting to ask Danny about his cousin ever since he's met her. Ever since he felt her aura; there's no doubt that her aura almost felt identical to that as Danny's. That would be impossible since every human has a different aura to one another.
Danny has a feeling what Yugi was referring about as he says. ''I know what you're thinking… it's a long story but later.''
Yugi nods, getting what he's talking about. The group proceeds towards the shop as Urahara is waiting for them with a smile.
''Welcome-welcome!'' The shopkeeper greets them, flapping his fan. Most of the group who didn't know him sweat drop at his silly state unlike the way he acted against those Espadas.
''The guy was not like that when we saw him yesterday right?'' Naruto asks rather confused by this guy. Judai nods though he could see he acts similar to himself; hiding his real personality.
''Kisuke, take yourself serious will you?'' Landing over Urahara's head on top of his hat was a black cat with yellow eyes. The others blink certain that male cat spoke.
''THE CAT TALKED!'' Ichi shouts actually surprise which startle the others.
''Feeling alright?'' Sonic asks pretty confuse with Judai adding with a look. ''We all kinda heard the black talk too and you translate and understand animal talk better than me.''
Ichi blinks sweat dropping as she coughs, blushing red. ''I mean yea… I was just… yea…''
Shadow scoffs at the female's respond as he demands the shopkeeper, almost aware of what he is. ''Human, no, Shinigami, answer us now.''
Urahara blinks but slowly smirks a bit impress this strange creature as a hedgehog.
''Right away huh? Very well.'' Urahara proclaims welcoming the group to his shop. ''Come inside, I have tea.''
Shadow glares not in the mood but Yugi eyes him without saying a word that they should do what he asks. The black hedgehog scoffs, not glad about it but he nods.
The group enters inside and they all try to sit down in the small room as tea had been prepared.
''See you're fine with these new friends huh Kurosaki?'' Urahara tells Ichigo taking a sip of his tea. The orange-headed nods thinking of these guys as his friends speaking. ''They're fine, can't complain.''
Urahara hums nodding, taking another sip.
''Urahara-kun, thank you for helping us and um…'' Yugi then thanks the shopkeeper for helping him and the others. He then eyes the black cat and having felt its aura, he knows what he- no, she is. ''The black cat too.''
The black cat blinks while Ichigo is left speechless that the tricolor head knew.
''Oh you noticed huh? Impressive.'' The black cat says almost teasing the human. Jonouchi drops his jaw, not being the smartest in most things, but he did know what Yugi meant.
''EXCUSE ME?! THAT MALE VOICE CAT IS ACTUALLY-'' The dirty blond-headed tries yelling, shock to believe that hot lady is this cat. Ichi startles by this as did everyone else.
The black cat smirks as Ichigo notices and protests immediately. ''DON'T DO IT HERE YORUICHI-SAN!''
It's too late as smoke suddenly explodes and covers the black cat. The group blinks as Urahara covers his face with his fan though he peeks on the top.
''Aw but there's harm for them to get to know the real me.'' Speaking out the smoke, reveals Yoruichi grinning and nude. The group drops their jaws, even Yugi and Ichi. Shadow twitches his left eye shock seeing such a thing.
''THIS IS AMAZING!'' Jonouchi, Honda and Naruto speak out with large heart-shaped eyes. Ichigo shakes his head covering his eyes of shame. Anzu also shakes her head in shame too. Judai, however, blinks taking a bite of his fried shrimp.
''Now that's a way to become human huh?'' Judai mutters taking another bite. Sonic also nods pretty relaxed.
''I um… yea… I'm glad when I turned into a cat, I kept my clothes.'' Ichi utters, looking very disturb and yet relief that never happen to her. Danny blinks eyeing her, not sure he likes that past tense of her turning into a cat.
Yoruichi giggles as she swings his arm in an instant she's wearing the same outfit she wore last night, winking. ''Had a good look, boys?''
Jonouchi, Honda and Naruto nod rapidly, still blushing very deep red. Ichigo lowers his head more in shame, wishing he never said anything. ''I shouldn't have said anything.''
Yugi, trying his best to not nosebleed, finally speaks up blushing. ''So um… these Espadas are coming after me?''
Urahara pulls down his fan, showing his face slightly red having peek, corrects him firmly. ''Not them, Aizen.''
Yugi widens his eyes as did Kurosaki, confirming their suspicious that this is all Aizen's plot. The orange-headed didn't understand why he wants to go after Yugi of all people.
''What does this Aizen-kun want with me?'' Yugi asks actually startling Urahara and Yoruichi that he refer that man by ''kun''. They knew of one person who would call Aizen even after showing his true colors; Eli Mutou.
''That, Yugi-san, I can explain.'' Smirking at the boy's thoughts, Urahara says pushing on the top of his hat. ''I can't go into details but I will say during my time as a Captain of Soul Society, I met your father.''
Yugi blinks actually stun, not expecting that. This also surprised the others even Kurosaki, having an idea that Urahara was a Captain of Soul Society, just not aware he met Yugi's dad DURING that time.
''WOAH-WOAH! You're old right? How the hell-'' Jonouchi tries saying, making the math that makes no sense but Urahara interrupts, simply tapping the tip of his front hat. ''Like I said, can't go into details. Your father Eli-''
''Your dad's name is Eli?'' Ichi interrupts questionable, looking at the tricolor head. Yugi eyes her blushing as he states. ''Eli Sackertin Mutou. Sackertin is his middle name and one he prefers others to call him.''
Ichi blinks, really not knowing that nor did Jonouchi and the others.
''He referred that middle name as ascertain.'' The tricolor head states recalling one of the fewest things his grandfather taught him about his parents.
''… Why?'' She asks with the others also wanting to know too. Urahara and Yoruichi shrug their shoulders not so sure. Yugi did the same, never discovering the reason even from his grandfather.
''At any rate, Eli came to Soul Society by mistake and that's how I met him. To be honest, I wasn't the person I am now and if I didn't met him, I wouldn't be.'' Urahara resumes explaining his tale, smiling a bit as he remembered that day. He was sort of naïve back then, not understanding or preparing himself unlike his current self but if he wasn't then he wouldn't have met someone like Eli. That look on his face and his believe of what's noble; he isn't a warrior no less a man willing to be an inspiration to others.
''He was a good friend even for a human. He earned a respect with his honor and pride of generosity, showcasing those traits even to other Captains and other souls…'' Urahara begins to describe how much of a man Yugi's father was. An odd-ball definitely and pushing the buttons on others but that was his way to show he's a nice guy, in his own way. Sadly, that also made him became friends with one who would betray Soul Society years later. ''But Eli was close to someone else too, Sosuke Aizen.''
Yugi widens his eyes in disbelieve. His father knew and was friends with this Aizen? No… but why?
''From what I can tell you, Eli had a respect towards Aizen and vice versa.'' Yoruichi mutters, remembering how fun Eli was to do certain things, sadly not sexual things but she let it slide. But one of those things was how he had drag that man around showing him fun stuff to make him happy… boy did that turned out bad.
Yugi just stares at thin air, trying to imagine how his father would be friends with a guy who betray his own organization that maintains order, killed a few people, and has made an army to oppose them. He speaks out wanting to make sure. ''You sure? Aizen? The guy who would have killed everyone back in Soul Society when me and the others invaded the place? That same guy who was going to kill anyone with a small grin on his face?!''
Kurosaki nod, thinking that this sounded like an illusion Aizen did with his Zanpakuto but Yoruichi states calmly. ''Surprising yes. We can't say Aizen was hiding his real self even back then before that incident that got Urahara and myself here happened but that man had admiration towards Eli. Your father was handsome by the way. I would-''
Urahara moves on the sides waving his arms, not wanting to hear it, as he adds. ''The point is Eli referred to Aizen as a dear friend and in return, Aizen revealed the form he is now.''
Yugi frowns, not getting the information he wanted but he might if he talks to the one person who can confirm. Ichigo, however, still has questions he needs to know. Urahara notices that right away and tells him. ''Kurosaki-san, we'll have a talk about what I'm talking about. I'm sure Shinji hasn't told you.''
Kurosaki eyes him, trying to not be surprise but he had a feeling there was more between Urahara and the Visoreds.
''So why does that Aizen want to go after Yugi?'' Anzu suddenly speaks up, wanting to know why that man wants Yugi if he has this issue with his father. Urahara chuckles, hoping someone asks that as he answers. ''What else? He's the Dragon Knight.''
Yugi and the others of Team Dragon Knight eye each other with a look of doubt with Ed speaking. ''Yea that won't work. We don't even know what that means. Not even Yugi does either.''
Urahara sighs, figuring this would be longer.
''Alright, I can explain this too.'' He begins to state, adjusting his hat as he explains as clearly as he could what a Dragon Knight is. ''In ways of how I learned about this myself and still don't truly understand its origins; a Dragon Knight is basically a being chosen to be a protector of all worlds. He or she is what you call chivalry to protect all and prideful in his reasons. Above anything else, the Dragon Knight is the symbol against darkness.''
Yugi and the others were startle by this discovering. The tricolor head thinks back to everything that has happened to him starting from the day Dark Leader Dragon attacked his grandfather to get his father's sword. It's starting to make some sense to him now.
''That's why Dark Leader Dragon wants me dead because I'm his fear.'' Yugi theorizes, recalling what the Dark Lord said that they were meant to survive and fight the other until one of them was dead.
Urahara hums pretty amaze how quick of the draw the kid is with his conclusions as he says. ''Something like that. As for Aizen… he finds the concept as an experiment.''
Yugi raises an eyebrow, not sure he follows that idea.
''A Dragon Knight is a being who has a unique ability that surpasses others; the Will of Dragonaun.'' Urahara begins revealing which startles Yugi greatly hearing that name ''Dragonaun'' again. ''This ability, as you all seen Yugi use it, is the manifestation of the Dragon Knight's powers to mimic and use other powers that he or she can hopefully master like Spiritual Energy or Chakra and apply them in their own version by using their souls as energy itself.''
Yugi, surprised, stares at his hand thinking back way back before this whole Dragon Knight thing happened where he first learn or well used the power of reading and feeling aura. He wondered if that and this had a connection. And then he thinks back how he copy Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique into his own version: the Dragon Clone Technique. That has always bothered him but now it's making sense.
''The Will of Dragonaun is a power harness by your dragon soul but control by your chivalry body or essences, using them much like a plug to a socket.'' Urahara describes even making a chart in advance. Yoruichi sweat drops now realizing why he made that in a hurry before the kids arrived. Urahara hums as he adds sort of upset. ''But there's more to this power which at the time I don't have a clue. Not even your father or he did but didn't tell me.''
Yugi nods, starting to get an idea what he was now and even a clue to some things. Recalling what Deep Blue called him and these techniques nicknamed by ''Dragonaun'', even those he created on the fly, it wouldn't be farfetched that this ''Dragonaun'' was the name of someone related or connected to how the Dragon Knight came to be. Still, this is him assuming but it's close to something.
''But why does this weirdo want to use Yugi?'' Naruto asks looking pretty daze from the explaining but not too much to get this. Urahara sighs, looking at the group firmly as he says. ''For the Hogyoku.''
Kurosaki panics to hear that while everyone else basically blinked.
''The what?'' Judai asks pretty confuse what that is. Urahara sighs once more as he explains while his eyes are shadowed by his hat. ''Something I created but Aizen did too, meant to bypass the boundaries between Shinigamis and Hollows. Like for example Ichigo's Hollow Mask is such; the power of Hollowfication.''
Danny drops his jaw a bit narrowing his eyes at the orange-headed Ichigo who's rubbing the back of his head. So that mask thing he used on that Ulquiorra whatever not human guy is a Hollow thing… those damaged souls turned monsters. Well… that explains sort of a lot inside Danny's head.
''And he wants to use that Hogyoku with me somehow?'' Yugi asks finding this rather confusing. Urahara responds pretty honest. ''Not sure yet but I rather not find out.''
The others hum learning a lot and yet not enough to really get what Aizen wants. Yugi sighs crossing his arms as he learned a lot he wanted to know and this all made him feel very special.
''The Will of Dragonaun… that's my power then?'' Frowning, Yugi mutters thinking he was learning stuff like a timer or by growing but it wasn't the case.
''What about his Yin-Yang whatever?'' Ed then asks a question he was curious about the thing inside of Yugi. Urahara oddly blinks turning towards the tricolor head and questions him. ''You haven't talk to them?''
Yugi blinks even more confuse to what he's referring about Yin-Yang Dragon. Urahara sighs figuring he'll have to talk about this but sadly his knowledge on that is extremely limited.
''Why not ask them yourself.'' He suggests to Yugi. The tricolor head sighs, having a feeling one day he'll have a chat with his two-headed dragon in him. But the sad part is that this made him even more special.
''Great. Everyone else worked hard to get the powers they got. I'm just special to have been given these powers in the first place.'' Yugi expresses to the others, surprise to hear that from him. Before someone like Danny or Kurosaki protests, Yugi then adds with a small smile. ''But I guess it's for the best because it was because of these powers that I can protect those close to me. That's what makes me special… what Atem taught me.''
Atem overheard that and smiles nodding.
''Even so, I need to become stronger. I need to use these powers better and applied them beyond their limit.'' Yugi states having realized that no matter how special he is; he can become stronger with the right training to overcome any wall. He clinches his hands, making up his minds. ''I need to get better so then I can protect my friends and love ones and not fail them again.''
The others blink especially Ichi who recalled something Yugi cried out after their battle against Itachi.
''Yugi, maybe you should tell them.'' Anzu, placing her hand over his shoulder, suggests with a small smile. The tricolor head startles turning to face her.
''Is it about that guy that Itachi mentioned before?'' Ichi asks wanting to know the friend Yugi couldn't protect. The others blink while Naruto startles hearing Itachi's name again.
Sighing noticing everyone wanting to know, Yugi had no choice but to explain.
''… His name was Kojan Uchiha.'' Looking up at his friends, Yugi reveals the name of the friend he met before any of them, even before Ichigo; one he can never forget for as long as he lives. The rest of Team Dragon Knight stared rather shock to hear this especially Ichi and Naruto.
''Wait-wait! Another Uchiha?! But Itachi and Sasuke are-'' Naruto tries to state having been told by Sasuke himself a long time ago, during their battle in the Valley of the End, that he and his brother are the last Uchiha… and then it hit him realizing maybe this Kojan was killed during the day the Uchiha Clan was murdered. Naruto sweat drops, apologizing. ''Oh, sorry.''
Yugi nods firmly as he resumes cracking a small smile thinking of the day he was bullied was saved by a kid of the same age, holding up his hand to him. ''I met Kojan-kun when I was young… he was the person who inspired me to have hope even in sadness and loneliness. Even back then, I wasn't able to make friends because of my timid personality… and picked on too. That's how I met him. He was like my hero, wanting to be like him and got to be a friend of his too… he was my first best friend.''
The others just stare astonished to hear this story especially Jonouchi, sobbing manly how much his best friend endure losing a friend. If he was him, he would be crushed too.
''AND NOW I GET TO LIVE ON HIS LEGACY YUGI!'' Jonouchi yells passionately sad, rubbing off the tears in his eyes. The others sweat drop as Honda pats his friend's back. ''There-there.''
''Are you sure he's dead?'' Judai asks Yugi concern if this friend he knew was really dead. Yugi frowns as he honestly isn't sure. The only prove he has of him dead is what Itachi told him but even then he isn't sure.
''… He said he needed to go back home and a girl who liked him went with him just in case. I know he was capable of protecting them both even fighting alone. If he was still alive, he would be stronger if not way stronger than all of us.'' Yugi says smiling a bit, wishing he was actually here. He would tell him to cheer up and keep on going with a big grin on his face.
''I wonder how Itachi knew him.'' Naruto questions with his cross arms with a deep-thought expression. Ichi nods rapidly, recalling how Yugi knew who Sasuke and Itachi were in two different moments.
Yugi smiles a bit, having hide stuff without much explaining why. He sighs, explaining himself. ''Well Kojan had an older brother he admired and wanted to become as strong as him. Shisui, I think, was his name.''
Naruto hums, wondering if he had heard that name before… but his mind drew a large blank sheet with only dribbles of him being awesome, winning Sakura's heart and beating Sasuke and making him return back to Konoha. He snaps out as he informs Yugi. ''No clue! Maybe Sasuke knows… if we ever see him again.''
Yugi nods, probably asking another Uchiha like Sasuke or even Itachi again. Even so, thinking back on that day, Yugi thought if he was stronger than maybe Kojan would have asked him to come and then maybe, if he was there; he wouldn't have went missing and assumed dead. He sighs, not sure if that would be the case but right now, he must become strong for the people in front of him.
''That's why I need to make sure no else dies like Kojan-kun, to protect the friends that are like my family.'' Yugi vows to himself, in memory of his friend, to prevent the past to repeat. Ichi blushes eyeing him, seeing him more determine than before. ''Yugi-kun.''
Urahara hums quite cheerful, hearing this boy's determination to surpass himself, much like Kurosaki but with a stronger desire.
''Well then Yugi-san, you need help to become stronger and I just so happen to be your solution.'' The shopkeeper speaks out startling Yugi and the others. Kurosaki knows better than most that Urahara is smart, pretty damn smart so if there's anyone who can help any; it would be him.
''How?'' Yugi asks pretty curious what the former Shinigami Captain had in mind. Urahara forms a small smirk as Yoruichi sighs knowing that look.
''I know how to unlock the final form of the Dragon Sword.'' He announces shocking the tricolor head. Yugi almost froze up thinking he knew how to unlock that form, the very one Dark Leader Dragon mentioned twice to him.
''It's still a mystery to me that the Dragon Sword is similar to a Zanpakuto especially in their forms: The base, the second form and the true form. You have the current and what Eli called the Super Limit form, the Dragon Slayer.'' Urahara begins saying already aware of Yugi's two other forms of his sword as he becomes serious. ''But then there's the true power of the Dragon Sword, the Burst Limit.''
Yugi slowly widens his eyes, almost in a deep thought with the name of the last form of the Dragon Sword. He mutters those words eyeing his broken sealed sword. ''Burst Limit.''
He stares at it, assuming something crazy would happen but nothing. Yugi sweat drops overthinking as he asks Urahara. ''And you can teach me how to unlock it?''
''Yep, free of charge of course.'' Urahara tells him with a small grin as if not telling Yugi that the training will be much harder than he would imagine. He changes his expression to a firm one adding. ''That and we need you to be ready when Aizen appears.''
Yugi nods smiling as if he has the means to turn his fate around again. And with that, he can make a vow to Kojan come true.
Confident with a new path, Yugi smiles ahead as he prepares to master the true power of the Dragon Sword. Can he achieve such a goal?
Commercial Break:
Yugi: At the least I'm starting to get what a Dragon Knight is… I just hope Ichigo-kun is okay.
Danny: Well same old thing and it still surprises me.
Within Las Noches, the Espadas sent out to test the strength of the Dragon Knight have returned. Most were not happy, especially Grimmjow who was going to finish his score with Ichigo Kurosaki and kill him.
"Welcome my dear Espada.'' Aizen greets his returning Espadas as he and the others were having tea. ''There's-''
Grimmjow, twitching his eye, immediately charges at that man grabbing on the hilt of his sword.
''YOU DAMN-'' The 6th Espada begins yelling, coming to chop off Aizen's head but then everything froze. No, rather his body couldn't move. He feels a massive spike of gravity push onto him, as if trying to crush his body but not kill him right away. It was intoxicant that even breathing is impossible. He looks forward and gasps terrified that this pressure wasn't natural; it was Aizen's spiritual pressure.
''What the hell? Is he this damn strong that I can't even-'' Grimmjow tries questioning how can this be happening. His thoughts were interrupted by sipping. He looks up and it's that damn man, drinking from his tea without raising a hand at him or even looking at him.
''Now-now Grimmjow, there is no need to be savage.'' Aizen speaks, changing the view of his eyes to the blue-headed Espada. Grimmjow panics seeing him smile, so calmly, as suddenly the pressure around him vanished. He breathes heavily, dropping on his knees and sweating.
''Now sit, drink the tea prepped for you and behave.'' Aizen orders him nicely looking down at the Espada with a small smile still on his face.
Grimmjow looks up at him angrily, slowly getting up but pulls his hand away from his weapon certain if he does that again; he'll be dead.
''I had him! You took that-'' The Espada argues that he had his chance to kill his prey but he immediately stops seeing Aizen raise a single finger at him, almost commanding him to be silent.
''Yes, I did interrupt your battle with Ichigo Kurosaki…'' Aizen admits smiling a little bit mentioning his ''greatest foe's'' name as he adds. ''But next time you'll be given the chance to fight him.''
Grimmjow startles as a strong relief cover him.
''Now sit.'' Obeying his command, at least for now, Grimmjow takes his sit as did the other Espada with him. Aizen smiles as he takes another sip of his tea. Truly delicious it is much like coffee.
''Aizen-sama, I apologize for the other Espadas for our failure.'' Zommari speaks up bowing his head for the shame he and the others with him failed to kill that boy. Aizen eyes him as he states rather relax. ''No need to be forgiven, Zommari. I knew you all wouldn't have been able to kill the Dragon Knight.''
This shock Nnoitra, gritting his smiling teeth that even an Espada of his level couldn't have kill some human punk and that stupid feline woman.
''Though I will say only Ulquiorra was the closest to have done it.'' Aizen, however, reveals rather pleased. Yammy smirks that no one, besides him and Lord Aizen, can ever defeat the 4th Espada.
''Thank you Aizen-sama but I have also failed in my-'' Ulquiorra, not joy of being named for a success he didn't do much, begins informing of his own failure in capturing the woman. However, he's interrupted by Aizen who smiles. ''Once again, no need. I had already foreseen the chances of capturing Orihime Inoue would change due to the new elements in played. Do not concern yourself with her. Next time will be much different.''
Ulquiorra obeys with a firm nod though he's curious when his lord will want that woman. His needs for her are a must to achieve Lord Aizen's ambitions so why wait.
''Now I have gathered you, my dear Espada, to inform you that our next attack will commence a month from now.'' Going back to business, Aizen informs his forces of their approaching attack to the human world or rather his test run. Most of the Espada didn't like this idea but obey regardless all except one.
''Why make us wait to attack the humans now is a fool's errand!'' Banging his fist quite arrogant was Baraggan Lousinenbairn, the second strongest Espada. He has the appearance of an elderly Viking-like man, with a white mustache and white hair though stocky and muscular for his age. His face is lined by large scars on the left side of his chin and across his right eye. He wears a regal white leather coat with black fur lining, short sleeves, and three black fur stripes running along the bottom. He wears a golden wristband on both wrists, and a belt consisting of three thick chains attached to a large metal disk with a sun emblem. His Hollow hole is in the center of his chest. The remnants of his Hollow mask take the form of a five-pointed crown just above his forehead.
Aizen narrows his eyes towards the former King of Hueco Mundo, not surprise he would be the most upset as he tells him. ''No need to have an outburst, Baraggan. All shall be reveal in due time.''
Baraggan stares back at Aizen, hating this man for everything he took from his kingdom to his position as leader of all Hollows. A mockery, no less, Aizen makes on the once mighty king. For now, Baraggan allows what this man wants, for the moment. ''As you command… boss.''
Aizen smirks as he tells the rest. ''Now go my Espada, rest until I summon you all once again.''
With that each Espada vanishes from the room, leaving Aizen alone with Gin and Tosen.
''Well dat went better than expected, Captain Aizen.'' Gin says rather impressed no one got butcher. Tosen, however, couldn't help but feel like this plan is in the less a waste of Lord Aizen's time.
''Is it not most wise to attack now, Aizen-sama? I do not wish to disagree with you but the endgame-'' He tries to express his opinion and immediately quiets down as Aizen stands up from his chair and smiles directly at him. ''The endgame is not yet. Let's call it a Round, Tosen. Besides…''
He walks pass his two right-hands, walking towards his room as he looks forward to see the son of his old friend and the power the boy will have if he knows Kisuke Urahara well. ''That is when we'll see the potential Yugi Mutou-kun truly has.''
Yugi suddenly sneezes as did Urahara, oddly looking around as if someone called or mentioned their names.
''Being a ghost hunter, I guess I should ask this. What the heck is an Arrancar?'' Danny, figuring that they can ask this shopkeeper more questions, asks about their enemy.
''They're I guess Hollows transformed into like Shinigamis but stronger than both.'' Urahara explains the origin of the enemy these young people are fighting. They startle to hear that these Arrancars were transformed from Hollows into these hybrid Shinigamis.
''Do they puff?'' Jonouchi suddenly asks that left those who are Shinigami to eye him rather confuse.
''W-what do you mean puff?'' Ichigo questions with a scowl face. The dirty blond-headed hums how to explain it as he did. ''Like those Hollow things? Puff, when you chop them down with your sword?''
Kurosaki just gives him a look of annoyance arguing. ''What kind of stupid question is that?! They…''
And then he blinks, thinking now clearly that Hollow to vanish into nothing after he ''purifies'' them. Ichigo hums as he turns to Urahara and asks. ''Urahara-san, do Arrancars puff?''
''Smart.'' Danny mutters amaze Jonouchi's question made the stubborn one of their group to ask about something pretty dumb but curious.
''Well Aizen recreated them from the Vasto Lordes they were previously.'' Urahara begins explaining as Jonouchi and a few others made a face like they had no idea what he's talking about. Yoruichi sighs as she adds. ''They're Hollows of a higher form and power. Aizen transformed those Vasto Lordes into Arrancars with the Hogyoku.''
''Great more nonsense that doesn't apply science.'' Ed mutters with his arms crossed behind his back neck. Urahara overheard that and hums stating. ''Well there is science to the Arrancars.''
''Like the bald one I fought who was just as fast as me.'' Sonic points out grinning, recalling his fight against the witch doctor guy. Naruto nods firmly also recalling his fight with that eyepatch jerk and his super hard body repelling his ninja tools and even the Rasengan. ''Or that super hard skin that guy I fought, ya know!''
Ed raises his head, recalling what the others said about these Espada and their skin. He moves his arms from his back neck as he mutters. ''Hard skin huh? Now I wish I was fighting from a start.''
The others blink eyeing the young alchemist.
''Wait you can counter their Hierro?'' Ichigo questions with a look of doubt, not able to believe someone like Ed would be able to do any harm to an Arrancar no less an Espada.
''Its iron right? Of course I can now that I know what it is.'' Edward states further making his case as he's fought someone with hard skin before. ''Let's just say I fought a guy who's entire deal was that he can harden his body into carbon.''
The others eye him with disbelieve, not sure they can believe him except Yugi who did.
''What the hell? Seriously?'' Jonouchi demands quite surprise about it. Ed nods, still remembering how he and Al even survived. Even when their teacher arrived to help them, that guy or humanoid he was; Ed can only hope they never meet him again. ''Hope you guys never face Greed, trust me. He's not human like these Espada.''
Danny sweat drops really hating Ishizu Ishtar right now with her ''prediction'' that he would see stuff far from the ghosts he has fought. He sighs, hating this right now only hoping nobody asks something else stupid.
''Changing topic for a moment…'' Judai speaks up eyeing Danny and then to Kurosaki. ''Danny's a ghost. Do you have to kill me too like those Hollows?''
Danny drops his jaw halfway, really hating Judai right now.
''… I'm not answering that.'' Kurosaki declares refusing to answer something so dumb… but much like Jonouchi's question, he becomes curious finally answering him eyeing Danny. ''But no… since you're technically also alive?''
''Like you!'' Danny says as Ichigo rolls his eyes, assuming it is the same but not.
Ed grunts really annoy by these guys and their crazy nonsense.
''I hate this. Ghosts, Hollows, Arrancars, Soul Reapers-'' The young Alchemist begins ranting annoyed this all is with Ichigo immediately yelling at him, correcting him. ''SHINIGAMIS!''
''SAME THING!'' Ed yells back with a large, shark-like mouth. Judai grins adding with a wink. ''And that's an insane joke if you prefer English Translation.''
Kurosaki glares by that comment though he didn't get the translation part. Ed sighs calming down annoy as he says, admitting these crazy stuff will help him and Al in the long run. ''But… this might also be a key to me and Al restoring our bodies, can't say this isn't bad but annoying.''
''Like Alchemy is like Magic.'' Judai declares with a small grin, instantly angrily Ed who yells once more. ''THEY ARE NOT!''
Everyone suddenly laugh at his outburst, making Ed to blush angrily at their stupidity. Shadow watches this not laughing but scoffing, walking out from the shop.
''Leaving already Shadow?'' The black hedgehog turns to see Sonic there, having asked him the question. Shadow did not reply with his arms crossed forward.
''They're great people.'' Sonic points out, thinking of them as another group of friends he never wants to leave touch off. Shadow scoffs only seeing those humans as nothing more but a distraction. ''Annoying like you.''
Sonic grins thinking that's the best kind of people. Shadow snarls as he turns around.
''… Gather the Chaos Emeralds you have.'' Shadow tells the blue hedgehog. ''We'll need them if things become ugly.''
Sonic salutes having thought the same thing. Shadow scoffs once more before vanishing through Chaos Control. The blue hedgehog hums pretty sure that o matter how grumpy he is, Shadow does like those guys.
Yugi smiles near the exit, feeling the same as he eyes the others. They were more than friends to him and will do what he must to protect them all, even if it kills him. He eyes his right hand, believing he can do it with this Burst Limit.
''We have great friends huh?'' Ichi says with a small smile and bump to Yugi's shoulder. He eyes her, blushing with a nod. ''We do.''
She smiles happy he thinks so. Though Yugi gives her a strange look once more not hearing her cute ''Nya'' part she always says.
Ichi blinks eyeing the tricolor head with that look he's giving her. ''What?''
''Um nothing.'' Yugi replies nervously, not meaning to upset her. Ichi nods blushing a bit sad as she says. ''So I should get going. Want to get back to the café.''
Yugi nods as he adds staring at Urahara. "I better get going too. I need time to recover before I train with you. Is that fine?''
''Quite fine. We still have time.'' Urahara replies quite cheerful. Then his face becomes firm as he adds. ''But don't hesitate. The moment you do-''
''I die, right?'' Yugi, smirking a little, finishes his sentence. Urahara nods as he speaks smiling. "Precisely!''
Yugi nods smiling as he and Ichi bow and leave the store. Jonouchi watches them leave, sighing as he goes after them. Honda and Anzu did the same, caching up to them quickly.
''Want us to go with you two?'' Anzu asks the couple. Yugi and Ichi blink as they nod smiling. ''Always.''
The five leave together until they split off their own ways.
The next day…
Yugi sighs having just dressed up for the day, preparing for school. He hums, alone in his room as he eyes the sheathed Dragon Sword. He needs to fix the blade and maybe he might if he asks a certain two-headed dragon something especially since he needs to talk to them too.
''…'' Silently, Yugi closes his eyes and focuses in deep thought. Everything around him became pure silence. After a moment, Yugi opens his eyes and finds himself within his mind, outside the cage that Yin-Yang Dragon were trapped in for an odd reason he also wishes to know.
The tricolor heads looks with his purple-eyes into the cage, seeing pitch darkness except the pair of two red-eyes each. Yugi doesn't need to ask them this question since they hear everything he hears but he needs to ask them regardless.
''You guys aren't Tailed Beasts, are you?'' Yugi asks them. The red-eyes look at him as emerging from them is indeed the two-headed Yin-Yang Dragon.
''What gave it off?'' Yin Dragon questions almost angrily. Yugi hums wondering that.
''We are not Yugi-san. We're… hard to say.'' Yang Dragon tries explaining nicely to their master, the first time they would ever tell this to another human adding. ''We were born a long time ago around the time the universe began.''
Yugi widens his eyes staggered to hear that. These two have lived that long? They're older than Atem and that's crazy.
''Then why are you two well…'' Yugi tries asking why the two are even trapped in a cage and many other things but Yang Dragon interrupts kindly. ''It's a long story we rather wish to tell you when the time is right.''
"But we will say we are doing what your stupid dead father asked us; protect you.'' Yin Dragon declares harshly, scoffing even. Yang Dragon shakes his head by the kind of tone his brother said. He looks at Yugi and finishes what his darker half was saying with a smile. ''And we are always there for you too, Yugi-san.''
Yugi blushes as he understands the two a little bit more. One was dark and the other was light; anger and kind, evil and good and yet both were good by nature towards him and everything he stands for. If they weren't, he wouldn't have been able to protect his friends better.
''I know.'' He tells them smiling. They eye him nodding. Yugi nods back as he then thought of something, asking them. ''So um the energy you guys give me?''
The two blink as Yang Dragon says awkwardly. ''Um well… it's our little secret.''
''MEANING NONE OF YOUR CONCERNS FOR NOW OR ELSE WE EAT YOU!'' Yin Dragon orders him roaring. Yugi sweat drops, nodding to their wishes.
He turns around to leave but not before Yin Dragon calls him out. ''Hey.''
Yugi turns slightly to face the dark dragon. Yin Dragon then tells him, blushing a bit. ''Focus on the Dragon Sword as if it was aura and reform it with your own willpower.''
''My willpower?'' The tricolor head asks startled. Yang Dragon nods smiling as he adds. ''The Dragon Sword is part of you Yugi-san. It will always be beside you and will always assist you as long as you desire for its strength and will to keep fighting.''
Yugi eyes them and nods smiling, going to take their advice to heart. He closes his eyes and breathes, reopening as he finds himself back in his room. He gets up from his chair, picking up the Dragon Sword.
''My willpower and desire.'' Remembering their words, Yugi stares at his sheathed sword. Taking their advice, Yugi focuses as he holds the scabbard of his sword with his left hand and the handle of his sword with his right hand. His purple-eyes stare at his sword as they begin to glow brightly as his entire body begins to shine in a blue aura. He focuses on his willpower to keep fighting, for his promises and his desires to protect what's important to him.
Resonating to his feelings, the sword begins shining golden. Yugi watches, trying to lose focus, as the sword then stops shining. The aura around him vanishes as his eyes stop glowing.
Yugi takes a deep breath and unsheathes the sword and immediately it explodes in a shine of light. He takes this in surprise he completely unsheathes his weapon and stares in shock as the blade of his Dragon Sword has been completely restored. No scratches and no breaks; the sword is back to what it was if not better than before.
''The Dragon Sword!'' Smiling at the results he's made possible, Yugi yells joyfully. ''IT WORKED!''
He laughs jumping around amaze it work. Atem watches behind him, just as amaze that worked. Yugi then runs off from his room and twirls his sword to Jenny just seeing him while she's having breakfast.
''It worked!'' Yugi tells her smiling as he runs downstairs and shows it to his grandfather, fascinated by the blade's shine. The tricolor head grins as he rushes to the door, puts on his shoes and runs off with his sword still in his hands. He didn't even bother sheathing it as he moves at top speed with Dragon Speed Burst, searching quickly and finds the redhead pigtail walking alone.
''Ichigo-kun!'' Ichigo blinks hearing a familiar voice and then Yugi rushes up in front of her to her shock, falling down behind her back. Yugi sweat drops, having overdone it, as he pulls her up.
''It worked Ichigo-kun! I can use my willpower to restore the Dragon Sword! That's why the sword was rusty and broken but became its real form after I held it against Dark Leader Dragon! If I don't have the willpower and desire to use it, then it won't answer back.'' Yugi explains his discovering with such amazement as he sheathes his sword. Ichigo blinks seeing how joyful Yugi was if not greater. It was… envious for her.
''… I'm happy for you…'' Replying weakly, Ichigo mutters looking away not able to look at him directly. Yugi blinks that even though he's happy, he's not dumb to not notice something is definitely wrong.
''W-what happened?'' Yugi asks, trying to look at her directly the best he can. Ichigo tries evading looking back, becoming even sadder she does it. Eventually, this gets to her as she looks at him.
The two exchange stare, eyeing the other for almost over a minute before Ichigo sighs, biting her lips.
''… I lost my Mew Powers.'' Finally speaking, Ichigo reveals the secret she's been hiding him. Yugi slowly widen his eyes, frozen to what he has just heard. Ichigo tries to put a smiling face, adding as if it's not a big deal. ''I can never be Mew Ichigo or a cat girl again.''
Yugi stares at her with a stun expression, finally getting why she hasn't been adding her ''Nya'' in most of her sentences. He frowns sadden that he's been okay unaware of the feelings of someone like Ichigo.
Yugi opens his arms and immediately hugs her to Ichigo's shock. She blushes feeling his warmth but tries removing him off her.
"S-stop it. This is what I wanted… this is…'' She tries telling him, making him see she's alright but tears escape her eyes. Ichigo immediately feels them and tries wiping them off, smiling towards Yugi. ''This is what I wanted.''
Yugi frowns sadden not sure she was.
The spirits of Team Dragon Knight haven't vanished as Yugi grows to understand he can become stronger… however can they go on without Mew Ichigo? How will our heroine without her powers do now? And what will happen to Tokyo Mew Mew without their brave leader?
To be continued…

Yugi frowns not sure she really means about being happy.
DragonKnight15: Can you go back to the person you were after all you had gone through? Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The End of Strawberry. The Normal Life of a Girl in Love.
Ichigo: Please remember to read, enjoy and review… yea. See you all next time… I guess?
So next week... no DKR. And this is not some excuse, I just need time in between certain chapters to be ready for the next set of chapters. And for this situation... kinda the case as you will see.
I should clarified a few things that this Volume is near its end: There's 3 Arcs left. The one that's going to start in the next chapter, a mini-one and finally the climax of the Volume. Trust me when I say I want to head into the future Volumes of DKR but of course, I CAN'T control myself but leave things in a certain way or else I'll regret it. Thank you all for reading and reviewing (especially my reviewers as you guys give me a damn reason to try improving DKR) and thank you.
Also I read something interesting on writing and how to engage or get people into reading a story... how am I doing in that department?
