A/N: Dun own YGO. And I rewrote this like you asked, SomeIdiot.



Yugi panted as he ran down the street. The man who'd stolen his puzzle couldn't have been far off. No, where was he? This was getting ridiculous. The man hadn't been that far ahead of Yugi, so where was he now?

He stopped suddenly when he saw the glint of gold. There was something on the ground just ahead of him. "My puzzle?" He asked himself, but no, it wasn't. It was a necklace, the pendant a piece of gold, formed into the shape of a slender dragon. It was intricately designed; every scale stood out.

Dragon in hand, Yugi stood there for a moment. The dragon was slowly warming up to his body temperature, and the chain dangled off to the side. He noticed writing flashing silver on the side, but before he could read it, a sudden urge to put the necklace on came over him.

So he did.

All of a sudden, the dragon pendant began to glow. An itching erupted all over Yugi's body, namely his face. He put his hand to his face to scratch, but it glinted strangely in the sunlight.

He shifted his hand. There were scales on it. There was one, two, three. before his eyes, the scales grew and multiplied. Where his hand wasn't covered with scales, the flesh rippled. Yugi could only watch in morbid fascination as his fingernails lengthened and sharpened. He could feel the same happening to his other hand and feet. His face grew and elongated into a snout; his eyes shifted to the side of his face.

His shoulder blades ached terribly, and when he twisted his head around so that his muzzle rested on his shoulder, he could see a pair of ridged, emerald wings. Out of the curiosity that managed to win over his fear, he tested the wings and found himself soaring into the air, leaving a claw- shredded pair of shoes behind.

Flapping lazily, he allowed the air to do most of the work for him. The people below pointed and screamed, but he was having too much of a good time to notice. He realized that he could now save his Puzzle and his Yami, he could defend himself, for who could stand up to a dragon?

In the excitement, he never bothered to read the silver writing, "He who wears this necklace will release his inner animal. But be warned, remain animal for more than 24 hours and pay the penalties..."
