CHAPTER ONE: DISCOVERY OF DRAN

(I don't own Yu-gi-oh or of it's chars.)

Ryou: *Yawns* I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

Yugi: I thought i heard someone calling for help though!*Some one runs into Yugi*

Ryou: *Looks at the kid* She's knocked out. Should we take her home?

Yugi: Yeah. Just lay her on the couch when we get there.

*********

Yugi's house

*********

Ryou:*Lays her on the couch* I wonder what her name is.

Yugi: We'll ask when she wakes up.

**************************

And so they wait many hours

for her to awaken. 5 duels have

gone by and no movement.

But then.....

**************************

Ryou: Yugi...She's awake!

Yugi: *Scoots over to her* Whats your name?

Dran: *Very silently* My name is Dran.

Ryou: I see. Your name means absorb.

Yugi: *Looks at Dran* I don't get it. Why absorb?

Dran: *Takes Ryous hand and put's it on hers as they are consumed by a black light*

Ryou: *Is knocked backwards*

Yugi: *Looks at Ryou then back at Dran* Oh Ra...

Dran: *Looks exactly like Ryou* See? Thats why my name means absorb. To absorb the appearance of another.

Ryou: Impressive. Very impressive.

Joey: *Knocks on the door* Hey! Yug! You home??

Yugi: Just a minute Joey!! *Opens the door* Come in!

Joey: *Sits next to Dran without noticing her* Hey Ryou.

Ryou: *Still looking at Dran* Hey Joey.

Joey: What are you looking at? *Looks at Dran* Holy crap!! *Falls over the back of the couch*

Yugi: *Rushes into the room* Joey are you okay?!

Dran: I didn't mean to startle him so bad.

Ryou: Why do you never look at the people you talk to?

Dran: I'm scared of every one. I don't want to see anyone.

Joey: I'm going insane!!! I'm seeing two!!

Yugi: Joey, Ryou is sitting on the floor, the girl siting on the couch is Dran.

Ryou&Dran: Some one is coming.

Tea: *Walks in* Sorry, but your door was open.

Yugi: It's ok.

Joey: Hey Tea look! There's two Ryou's!!

Dran: I am Dran, he is Ryou. The real one.

Tea: *Looking very doubtful that the other Ryou is nice* Y-Y-Yes....I s-see that n-now.

Dran: Hey Joey, let me see your hands.

Joey: Ok. Whatever. *Gives her his hand*

Dran: *Put's his hand in Drans as the same light shines*

Tea: ARGH! I'M BLIND!!!!

Ryou: Joey, you're about to get a shock.

Dran: *Looks exactly like Joey* What do ya think? *Not looking at Joey*

Joey: *Looks at Dran and passes out*

Yugi: Now you've done it!! *Fanning Joey*

Tea: This is amazing*Looks at Ryou but he isn't Ryou anymore* Dran, come here.

Dran: *Still not looking* Why?

Bakura: *Grabs her arm* You should do what people tell you to child!!!

Dran: *Is forced to looked* No!No!NO! *Is enveloped by the light*

Yugi: No...Dran...

Tea: Please...no...

Dran: *Falls on the floor having absorbed Bakura's appearance*

Bakura: Aw, ain't that cute? *Picks her up by the throat* No more cuteness out of you anymore!!!

Yugi: I can't take this.

Dran: *Lands on the ground hugging Bakura* Ryou... Please come back...I know you're there....Come back! Please.....

Tea: *Noticing Bakura changing back to Ryou* I don't beleive it.....It's working....

Ryou: *Is back to normal but passed out*

Dran: *Still having Bakura's appearance* Ryou! Are you okay?!

Yugi: It worked....

Joey: *Has passed out on the couch again*

Ryou: What? What did i...? *Looks at Dran not knowing it's her and begins to back away* N-N-No.....

Dran: *Opens her mouth to speak but has also absorbed Bakuras voice*

Tea: *Whispers to Yugi* Some thing is wrong, why didn't she change to Ryou again?

Yugi: I don't know, but i feel sorry for Dran. She even got the same voice!

Dran: Ryou, Please beleive me, it's me Dran. Something went wrong!

Ryou: Dran....Prove it...

Dran: You're such a pain!!! *Not looking at him* I can't beleive you don't trust me...

Ryou: Dran? It really is you isn't it?

Yugi: Yes, Ryou. Thats Dran.

Tea: Yugi, I have to go get something. I'll be back.

Joey: The one who wouldn't hurt me, and the one who want's to hurt me.

Dran: *Death glares at Joey*

Joey: EEEEPPPP!!!! *Hides under the couch*

Ryou: Chicken.

Dran: *Looks at self* i could play some good pranks.

Ryou: Don't even think about it.

Dran: *Tries her best to look innocent* You know me....

Tea: Dran, you kow you look nothing like innocent right?

Joey: Tea, you don't have to rub it in.

Yugi: *Rubbing temples* What are we going to do with you Dran.

Ryou: If she goes out side she'll have to watch where she's going. And if she see's somethng scary, she'll panic as will the people who see her. This is going to be tricky.

Dran: Yugi, let me see your hand.

Yugi: *Places his hand on top of hers*

Nothing happens

Dran: *Withdraws her hands* This is...horrible.. i can't even change anymore!!!

Ryou: I'm sorry Dran. It's my fault.

Dran: No it's Bakuras fault.

Ryou: By the way Dran, thank you, for what you did.

Yugi: I think we have more important issues. Like how are we going to fix this horrible mishap.

Tea: Something is wrong with Dran. Thas why she can't change back i bet.

Joey: *Knocking self on head* I'm very disoriented right now.

Yugi: *Has turned to Yami*

Yami: Dran. You don't have to look at me, but inned to ask you something. Maybe you don't want to. Is that it?

Dran: *Pulling knees close to chest* I'm not safe here...I'm not safe here....we're not safe here....

Ryou: *Sits next to her* Dran? Whats wrong? Dran?

Yami: She's not responding. Her body is having some kind of lockdown.

Tea: But why doesn't she feel safe? No one except for us in going to be brave enough to look at her.

Joey: But thats just it Tea!

Tea: Whats just it?

Ryou: We're the only ones who can hurt her. We're the only ones who know.

Yami: *Turned to Yugi again*

Yugi: But i wonder what happened to her to make her scared of looking at people though?

Dran: He is coming....he'll make me look....at everything.....The eye...the eye...on the dark ones head....

Tea: Now she's just talking nonsense.

Ryou: *Eyes grow wide* It's not nonsense....The eye on the dark ones head must mean....

Joey: Marik and his rare hunters.

Yugi: That man just doesn't know when to quit i tell you.

Mai: *Jumps through the supposedlt closed door* Hello everyone. Hey? Whats with the gathering? *Looks at Ryou* Excuse me for a moment. *A large water splash is heard from the kitchen*

Tea: Why so vital reactions? I don't get it.

Yugi: *Shrugs*

Mai: *Comes back soaking wet and still thinks theres two Ryou's as she tries to jump out the window*

Dran: Oh no you don't!! *Grabs her by the legs*

Ryou: Messy, but effective.

Joey: I wonder how Tristan will react?

Yugi: I don't want to know.

Mai: *Screaming theres a demon on her legs*

Dran: *Sits on Mai's back* Hold still you worm!! *Whacks her on the head with the ring* Perfect.

Mai: *Is out cold*

Ryou: That wans't neccesary Dran, but at least she's not screaming anymore.

Joey: Viciousness.

Dran: *Death glares at Joey again*

Joey: *Passes out yet again*

Yugi: Dran, if it's not too much trouble, can you take Mai and set her on the couch?

Dran: Sure....

As the night creeps into the sky, all fall asleep except for one....

12:00 A.M.

*************

Dran:*Sneaks out of the house* I can't put my freinds lives at risk....*Looks back at the house* Ryou, I'm sorry.

Bandit Keith: *Watching her from the bushes* Interesting....

1:46 A.M.

Ryou: *Dreaming*

************************

Ryou: Dran?

Dran: *Has wild red hair flowing to the ground* Ryou....You better hurry....or you'll lose me forever...

Ryou: Where are you going?!?

Dran: The key....the key..... My gaurdian, is from the celtic era....Find him...

**************************

Ryou: *Wakes up sweating* Lose her?! Dran! Where are you Dran?!

Yugi: *Rushes into his room* Whats wrong?!

Ryou: Dran is gone!!!

***********************

Celtic gaurdian: *Looking around* Where did she go??

Bandit Keith: Damn, thats one big duel monster!!

Bones: Keith, can we get out of here now? It's too dark...

Bandit Keith: Why are you so scared? You should feel right at home here.

Tristan: *Walking along a path* What are you guys going here so late?

Bones: Well, what are you doing out here so late, hmm?

Tristan: I was looking for someone named Dran. When she's reflected in a mirror or taped by a camcorder her hair almost touches the floor. Seen her?

Bandit Keith: No. But we saw some white haired guy with dark lines under his eyes....

Bones: And some kinda dream catcher thing....

Tristan: *Gulps* I thought i would never have to see him again....

Ryou: *Runs up to Tristan* Tristan! Have you seen someone who looks like me?

Tristan: Why?

Ryou: That was Dran...She saved me from Bakura but...something went wrong....

Tristan: I've been looking for Dran too!

Dran: Ryou.... *Standing behind him* i'm sorry...but i can't stay here.....

Ryou: Wait Dran...Where are you going?

Dran: *Snaps fingers as a man eater bug appears* I'm sorry. *Faces the man eater bug* I have to.

Ryou: No..Dran..you can't...

Dran: *Jump's into the man eater bugs deadly jaws and is gone*

Ryou: Dran!!

Dran: *Appears as an odd angel in front of Ryou* The day i die.. i'm free, but to be the war commander, i must take forever all the lives i can possibly take....

Ryou: Dran, so many people will die if you do this....

Dran: *Disappears*

The earth shakes and rattles and trees fall over

as some buildings collapse, as fire tornados

burst like brilliant embers, Birds fly from their nests,

and is the center of it all, is Dran, as the change of heart,

crying for all her deeds. She is heartbroken, her sadness

is revenged double on those who made it worse.

Dran: I will spare not one life, innocent or evil! Those whom i've seen have earned my wrath!

Ryou: Dran! *Places his hands into the tornado and is not burned as he makes his way towards dran*

Dran: No! Stay away! *Flies spiraling upwards*

Keith: I'm not ready to die yet....

Yugi: Ryou!! Are you insane?!?!?

Ryou: Dran, don't do this....you don't have to...

Dran: I don't need anyone!!! Do you understand me?!No one!!

Joey: I hope he can do it....

Ryou: *Jumps out at Dran landing on her back*

They are both sent sent spiraling different directions

as Ryou lands in front of Yugi, while Dran lands

near a figure, far taller than any man known.

Celticgaurdian: *Picks up Dran in his arms and walks over to Ryou* You're courage is amazing boy.

Dran: Set me down. *Is set down on the ground and can barely stand* Ryou, i have learned that those without mercy for the innocent, are not ones who deserve to live to commit more horrible deeds. I..I.. *Falls on the ground*

Ryou: Dran!

Dran: Thank you...my freind....*Leaves leaving behind a rose with a millenium sign on it*

Ryou: *Picks it up* A rose....beauty can be painful...Dran....i'll never forget you.....come back soon...
