-------------------------------------
Battle city hospital 2:00 a.m.
-------------------------------------
Nurse: This girl is a trouble maker.
Nurse#2: She's in here way too much i think.
Ryou: Just help her with her eye.
Nurse#3: Well, we would if her hand wasn't like a padlock keeping it shut.
Joey: What happened?
Mokuba: *Is back* We saw it! The visor malfunctioned, and one of the wires flew forward and got her in the eye!
Yugi: Where was this at?
Dran: *Sits up in a flash a pulls Yugi's ear to her lips* They're dead.....*feints*
Tristan: That was odd....
-------------------------------------------------
Battle city hospital, later that night
Dran: *Breathing deeply*
A shadow passes over the window, casting darkness over the sleeping Dran.
???: It's time you came back.....i'm tired of waiting for you....
Ryou: *asleep in a chair*
A shadow passes through the door, and next to Drans bed side. She seems to be lifted by the shadows evil. Ryou is startled by this person, but too tired to do anything. As he closed his eyes, he caight a glimpse of gold shining off some object being held by her kidnapper.
--------------------------------------------
Battle city hospital; waiting room
the next day.
Ryou: *Runs out of Drans room* Nurse!
Nurse#1: What is it?!
Ryou: She's gone!!
Nurse#2: What?*Follows Ryou into her room*
Nurse#3: She should be here!! Where could she have gone?!
Joey: Ryou! Whats going on?
Ryou: Dran, she's gone!!Some one took her!
----------------------------------------------
Somewhere in Battle city
Malik: *Circling a sleeping Dran* Well Dran, it seems you're still a child. Sleep well. You're going to end the lives of those wretched "friends" of yours.
Rare hunters: Malik sir, when will she awaken?
Malik: Soon.
Rare hunters: Should we bring her friends here?
Malik: No. Let the cat chase down the mice.
2 hours later in that same place
Dran: *slowly flickers to life* Where am i?
Malik: You're finally awake?
Dran: Malik...?I thought i was in the hospital?
Malik: I got you out. And brought you here.
Rare hunters: Malik, the kids are looking for her.
Dran: My friends!!
Malik: This i s only step one. Here comes step two!!
The Millenium Rod flashes, as Dran is constricted into an ebbing flow of pain. Sparks played on her finger stips as she
cries out, time seemed to fly by. For her it did anyways. She collapsed on the floor. Several horned spikes, had been additioned to her hair. They seemed to stick out from the sides of her head.
Malik: Well Dran, you're an adult now. And let me tell you this. You're very tall. Six feet i'd say.
Dran: Why did you do this to me?
Malik: Because, i'm older.
Dran's head began to whirl, as she lost control of her own body. Malik was in control and there was nothing she could do about it.
Malik: Excellent. Now, on to destroy what little you have left.
--------------------------------------
Battle city hospital
Ryou: Where could she have gone?!
Malik/Dran: I'm right here.
Ryou: You sound different.
Malik/Dran: My throat is sore.
Yugi: Oh. Hope you get better soon.
Malik/Dran: *walks over to the nurse* I'm fine to go.Things happen.
Nurse#1: Well, i suppose if you're feeling better.
Ryou: You wanna walk around Dran? we can take you to the park.
Malik/Dran: Hmmm...perfect.
----------------------------------------------
Battle city park
Ryou: go and play Dran.
Joey: Hey yug, did you notice that Dran got taller by about a foot?
Malik/Dran: Hey!
Everyone: *Looks over at her*
Malik/Dran: *M.eye symbol begins to glow on forehead* Guess what?
Yugi: *Stands up* No way!!
Ryou: You have to be kidding!!
Brilliant flashes temporarily stun Ryou and the others, as Malik appears next to a knocked out Dran.
Yugi: What have you done to her?!
Malik: She's back home where she belongs.
Joey: She'll never belong with you!!
Malik: *snaps fingers as Dran appears, dressed in a deep purple cloak, muck like his*
Drans fingernails extended to about three inches, and turned gold. her eyes flashed until they were yellow with black slits in them. She had dark lines under her eyes.
Malik: These were your friends Dran. Now, i want you to tear them to peices.
Dran: *Uses Talons to push off the ground into a powerful lunge*
Yugi: *Has the windknocked out of him*
Ryou: Leave them alone! *Goes behind Dran and puts his arms around her neck restraining her*
Malik: Rip his arms off.
Dran: *Grabs Ryou's arms, dangling him in the air, his face facing towards hers*
Dran: *Raises hand on Maliks command*
Ryou: *Shuts eyes tightly*
Malik: End it!!
Dran: *Begins to bring her hand down and stops suddenly*
Bakura: Yes. she knows she used to be your friend, even when she doesn't have her own body.
Dran: *Breaks free of the mind control* I cant...
Malik: What are you doing?! *Begins to take over again*
Dran: *is taken over again* She is mine...*Throws Ryou across the ground*
Yami: Malik! Free her!
Malik/Dran: I don't think so. Now, the most awful thing i can do to you pharoh.
Everyone is temporarily blinded, and Ryou and Yami are definetly missing something.
Ryou: My ring! It wont come back to me!
Yugi: My puzzle!
Malik/Dran: Looking for these? *Hold up the ring and the puzzle as Malik makes her drop them in his hands*
Joey: This is bad!!
Malik: And now, due to her new abilite, she can cloak items to make them no longer obey their masters!!
Malik/Dran: *tips invisible hat* Good day, gentlemen. *turns to leave*
Ryou: Dran...come back....
Dran: *has tears in her eyes despite the mind control* Ryou....*stops walking*
Malik: Where do you think you're going?
Dran: *Flings into rage as she knocks the Millenium Rod out of Maliks hands*
Joey: What a rebel.
Yugi: Dang, she's fast!
Dran: *Picks up the rod and cloaks it* Now what do you have to protect yourself? *Throws it at Yugi's feet*
Malik: I'm the one who raised you! You will obey me!
Ryou: Dran, leave him be. He's not worth it.
Dran: *takes the ring and the puzzle* These are yours you two.
Malik fled after he snagged the rod and retreated back to his lair to plot yet again. The ring and the puzzle were given back and uncloaked. They had previously had some pretty wild adventures, like when they first met Dran, and had to take her home. Some people were scared of her, thinking she still worked for Malik. And everywhere she went Yugi had to explain the whole story. This was her life, and she accepted it. She moved her hand up and down where the area where the visor was inserted was scarred and stiched. Her eye was a memoir of her mistakes. She rememberred suddenly, as if this thoughts had triggered ancient memories that were long forgotten. It all slowly flowed back to her, like a dream. She was running throught the streets, when she was stopped by man who called himself Shadi. She rememberred him carefully explaining the main uses for the rose. And then, she rememberred it's greatest use. To bring those back form the dead who had died. But, he had cautioned her, that if she brings someone back form the dead, they won't be the same. Zombies to be more precise.
Dran snapped back to reality after Ryou had tripped.
Yugi: Are you okay Ryou?
Ryou: Yeah. I'm okay.
Bakura: She's going to turn someday. she'll retalliate like a snake with a poisonous bite.
Dran: Ohhh.....*holding head*
Joey: Dran? You okay?
Dran: *Begins to shrink as eyes turn thier orginal color and everything goe's back to the way it was. appearance any ways.*
Yugi: That was odd....
Dran: *yawns* So tired...Maliks spells really take it out of ya...
Joey: Ya just gotta stay awake a little longer.
Dran: I...can't.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Yugi's house10:48 p.m.
Yugi: So here we are again, back at my house, laying her on the couch to rest.
Ryou: It's amazing how the past relives itself. *hears a shuffling noisse*
Bakura: Look out behind you. She's in denial. Told you she'd retalliate.
Ryou: *whirls around to find Dran crouched in a corner*
Joey: Dran? Are you alright?
Dran: *eyes glowing green*
Ryou: *put's a comforting hand out towards her na dfeels a sharp pain* Ow! She BIT me!
Yugi: *is suprised* I can't beleive she bit you.
Dran: *breathing deeply*
Joey: Maybe she's scared. Think she lost her memory again?
Dran: *makes a sound similar to hissing* Leave me alone......
Ryou: Hmmm.....i wonder if.....
Yugi: *fidling with the puzzle* I wonder what could be wrong with her.
As the air outside grew crisp and began to become cold, Dran shivered, refusing any warmth her friends would offer. If Ryou didn't know any better, he'd say she was being bratty. But that opinion quickly changed when Drans quietness changed to a struggle for control of her own mind. Dran shot up instantly, as her eyes went blank and the struggle began. It took Yugi's brain a few moment's to process what was going on, when he found out, he told the others. She shook like a bead in a rattle. She fell on the floor writhing in a desprate struggle she might not even win. She just let go. Dran stopped fighting, giving Malik the easy way in for some odd reason.
Joey: You never give up do ya'?
Malik/Dran: She doesn't care anymore. I know. She rememberred all she had done to you, and she thought she didn't deserve your friendship. You made your bed, now lie in it!
Yugi: Why now? Why Dran?
Bakura: Because, in her weakened state, it's much easier to accomplish.
Joey: *he and Yugi back up until thier backs bump together* This is not good for us...
Yugi: I would think not Joey!
Malik/Dran: And now, i just want to witness it.
Malik: *appears as himself* Now, my dear Dran, with the help of Bakura, this time you shall not fail in destroying them.
Bakura: I'm just here for laughs. And causing pain.
Yugi: Joey, i don't think this is going to end well...
Joey: Something tells me the same thing...
Malik: Kill them.
Dran and Bakura began walking, but for some reason, Dran wheeled around and cut off Bakura. She deeply sighed and signaled Yugi and Joey to run. She disabled Malik by sticking him in a spirit sphere (sphere forged from spirit energy).
Dran clasped Both hands on each side of Bakura's head and harnessed spirit energy into his veins. He jumped startled by the unpleasant shock. He seemed to fly as he was sent backwards by the shock. Dran disposed of the sphere and all it's contents. Dran rushed over to Bakura, who she hoped he wasn't.
Dran: Ryou....?
Ryou: *sighs* I'm so tired of this...i keep almost hurting people!
Dran: I got rid of Malik and Bakura for you. Don't worry. They'll both be out cold for quite a while.
Yugi: Is it safe to come out now?
Ryou: Yeah. I'm fine.
Dran: Same here.
Joey: We thought we were goners!
Ryou: *smiles weakly*
Kaiba: *runs in with Mokuba* Whats going on here?!
Dran: No...it can't be....
------------------------------------------
Flashback:Dran
Dran: *wakes up in some kind of shackles*
Kaiba: It seems you finally woke up. Congradulations.
Mokuba: Big brother, commencing enhancers!
Dran: Enhancers?
Machines began to clank loudly, beeping and clicking was following all kinds of read outs. She never had a chance to ask what was going on before her body began to shake and rattle. A vitals meter was abover her holding area, as it increased rapidly, an error of somekind ocurred.
Kaiba: Stop the machines!!
Mokuba: They're in override! They won't obey!
Drans teeth shook in her head, as her eyes shot open, her DNA was reforming itself and it hurt like heck. Dran clenched her teeth so hard she thought they would crack. At that time, tha shackles began to form cracks and dents in themselves. She let out a long scream, all she could hear was her own screaming and the desperate attempts of the Kaiba brothers to stop the testing. The shackles could no longer sustain the pressure. They cracked more, and exploded off her body. Metal chunks flew every where, riochetting off the walls, destroying things. Dran's hand had some reflex, as she some how fired a beam, destroying the machinery. There was silence, embers, smoke, and a very odd Dran. She collapsed on her knees, breathing harshly. she backed into the wall as Kaiba stretched out a hand towards her, trying his best to comfort her. It was no use. Dran recoiled herself. A large shadow landed in front of her and knocked the elder Kaiba brother on his backside. She could no longer hold conciousness. She blacked out, and all she saw before she blacked out, was the figure turning towards her, and whispering something to her.
End of flash back
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tristan: *walks in*
Mokuba: Dran wake up!
Kaiba: Dran....
Dran: Begins to back away....no. i won't let you do it again!
Ryou: Dran are you okay?
Joey: *whispers to Tristan* Somethin' is weird here.
Dran: *Cannot control herself* Leave now!!
Mokuba: Big brother, maybe we should leave.
Kaiba: I'll be back for my subject. *he and Mokuba leave the room*
Dran: *Disappears back to her mother and fathers grave*
Ryou: *Is the only one who followed* Dran, why did you come back?
Dran: I can bring them back....he told me....i could...
Ryou: Oh Dran. I'm sorry this had to happen to you of all people. *crouches next to her* Come home Dran.
Dran: I can't can i? I can't bring them back....
Yugi: Ryou! Come here real quick!
Ryou: *walks over* What is it?
Yugi: She needs to let it all out. She lost them long ago, when she was little.
Dran began to cry loudly, breaking Ryous heart and amusing Bakura. Dran found something on the ground that caught her attention. She brushed of the dirt and found a door. She opened it, as bats flew out. She lifted it out, it was a black rose. She stared at it in confusion.Ryou looked at her suddenly, alarmed by something. Dran's hair was turing colors, from red to fireball red. Her eyes turned red and seemed to burn with anger as she threw the rose down and stomped on it. Dran froze in place. Ryou and Yugi started running towards her. She held up a card of somekind, obviously found in her house. A creature with it's bottom half dispersed in a rose, sent out thorny vines in all directions. Ryou and Yugi managed to avoid them. Dran swayed her head as she began to thrash widly. Her gold talons grew again, as she slashed to rose spectere, destroying it. She ran through the great masses of tombstones, fleeing to get away. She slammed into someone hard and was knocked backwards. She looked up at him, instanly realizing who it was. She looked up at Bakuras mad eyes, fear struck her like an arrow. She signaled Yugi to stay away.Yugi was reluctant to follow orders, but he held his ground. Bakura picked her up and threw her into a nearby tombstone, breaking it to rubble and dust.
Yugi: Dran! I'm coming!
Dran: No...stay away.
Bakura: Yes,you better listen to your friends.
Dran: Ryou...*tears form around eyes*
Bakura: *laughs insanely* He's not coming back to save you this time!
Dran: *bleeding from her forehead* You know, when people don't want you here, you should go away.
Joey,Tristan and Mokuba run up to the scene
Joey: Let her go now!
Bakura: *laughs insanely* Not on your life*
Dran: *breaks free of his grip and faces him*
Tristan: Fight him!
Dran: I'm so sorry Ryou...
She pushed off at incredible power level, tackling Bakura to the ground, pinning him. She raises one of her gold pleated talons, and brought it down with incredible force, making large slask marks in the rings. Bakura managed to escape her, but she tackled him from behind. Thunder clashed with the cloudy sky, and lightning struck the skys darkness with light. It began to rain, soon turning to a steady cascade of faling rain. She looked at Bakura's face, it was filled with fear. He squeezed his eyes shut, as Ryou would have done, preparing for his final breath. She released him.
Dran: *retracts talons* What am i.....
Bakura: *slinks into unconciousness*
Joey: Ryou? You okay man?
Ryou: Dran...where is she?
Dran: *falls on the ground* Hold on Ryou....*drags herself over to him*
Tristan: *looking around*
Ryou: *helps Dran up*
Dran: Thank...you....*eyes shut tightly as she grips the skin over her heart* Arrr...
Yugi: You okay Dran?
Ryou: Whats wrong with your heart?
Dran: Hold on...i'll be here, when you need me...*Goes limp in Ryous arms*
Ryou: Dran? Dran?! Wake up! Answer me!
Tristan: She's gone.
Dran: *begins to dissolve in smoke* I'll be here....always.
Ryou: DRAN!! *tries to grab the smoke* Come back....
Yugi: She's gone...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months later
Battle city: Heart of the city
Dran: RYOU?! Where are you?!
Drans appearance had altered lot since then. She had twin wings coming out of her back, with silver and gold spikes coming from her back, and she had flames from her ankles and wrists. She wore a golden collar with a large sign on it, obviously and angel. She had two ivory horns coming from the corners of her forehead, and two from her elbows, the same with her knees. She was a speed demon.
Yugi: Is that...?
Joey: It can't be...Ryou!
Ryou: What is it Joey?
Tristan: I think it's Dran!
Dran: *rounds the corner and finds Ryou* Ryou!! *turns to how she was before she dissolved*
Ryou: Dran? Is that you?!
They ran into eatch other, Ryou picked her up in a spinning hug.
Ryou: Oh Dran, you had me so worried!
Dran: After i left, i was scared cause you weren't there! I looked all over for you!
Yugi: She's finally back.....
Dran: *twirls around as Yugi and Bakura are enveloped in a yellowish light*
Yami: ohh...my head...
Bakura: *Is on his head* Mine too....
Ryou: *is knocked out*
Yugi: *flew into a corner* What happened...?
Dran: Now you two are free!! *turns to Bakura* And you,....
Bakura: Oh crap...
Dran: *runs up and hugs him* Thank you for showing me that i was too weak to go on.....
Ryou: *whispering to Yugi* I think they'll get along well.
Joey: Whats going on..!?
Dran: *takes Bakura over to Joey* This...is the one who took care of me before Malik did!
Ryou: WHAT?!
Yugi: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Bakura: *silent*
Dran: He left so long ago!! I didn't remember him! Now i do,
Malik: *lands in front of them* Now that you're back, it's time to come with me!
Dran: *hugs Bakura tightly*
Bakura: *looks down at her, then at Malik* You can't take her. She's my responsiblity.
Malik: Then i'll take her from you!! *Uses the rod to pull Dran towards him*
Bakura: *protects her with the ring* You'll have to do better than that.
Yugi: Dran! Come here!
Dran: *runs to him* Are you happy Malik. That while you're sleeping comfortably, i'm in pain bacause of you! Where were you when i cried my eyes out for you? Thats why i left! You didn't care!! You never did!
Bakura knew he needn't attack him, for he was being verbally abused by Dran. Malik stood there while he was assaulted by Drans words.
Dran: It seems i've spent all these years learning how to survive without you, and i now have my real friends!
Malik: Dran... i never knew.
Ryou: Dran, thats enough. Stop now.
Yugi: Dran theres no need to continue this!
Yami: Just let him be Dran!!
Dran: *stares at him with burning hate* You left me to die.....
Bakura: *banishes Malik elsewhere as he walks over to Dran* It's alright Dran. He's gone.
Joey: Why don't you go play Dran?
Dran: If you insist.
Dran changes to her speed demon form as she races throught the city, as fast and silent as the wind. She ran by newspaper stands, causing papers to fly everywhere. She raced past the game shop, startling Yugi's grandpa. She raced around like a cheetah, and gave a holler of happiness. She was home. As she ran, the wind combed through her wild hair, sendiing it waving everywhere. Her eyes turned sky blue, as the wind helped her spirits soar. She jumped over a park bench, and began to race back to Ryou and the others. She ran a different way than which she had come, and stopped in front of Ryou and the others, making dust and gravel fly everywhere.
Dran: That was amazin! *Turns normal* Weird...*sniffs the air, her nose leading to Joey*
Joey: What? I smell bad or somethin?
Dran: *is staring at Joey as she begins to approach Joey, unable to contain herself*
Litte did they know, she had aqquired a new problem while she was away. She had gotten bitten by some type of dog, and it had some kind of problem. She realized it wasn't really a dog.
Ryou: Dran, are you a....?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Oh a cliffie! I love being my evil self...any ways,
her problem isn't all that severe, really. Not yet
anyways! What could Drans problem possibly be?
You gotta find out for yourself! Reveiw! Need at leats two more
to continue! Suggestion time!(R&R)
(i DO NOT OWN YU-GI-OH OR ANY OF IT'S CHARS.)

Joey: Dran? You okay?
Dran: *Begins to shrink as eyes turn thier orginal color and everything goe's back to the way it was. appearance any ways.*
Yugi: That was odd....
Dran: *yawns* So tired...Maliks spells really take it out of ya...
Joey: Ya just gotta stay awake a little longer.
Dran: I...can't.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Yugi's house10:48 p.m.
Yugi: So here we are again, back at my house, laying her on the couch to rest.
Ryou: It's amazing how the past relives itself. *hears a shuffling noisse*
Bakura: Look out behind you. She's in denial. Told you she'd retalliate.
Ryou: *whirls around to find Dran crouched in a corner*
Joey: Dran? Are you alright?
Dran: *eyes glowing green*
Ryou: *put's a comforting hand out towards her na dfeels a sharp pain* Ow! She BIT me!
Yugi: *is suprised* I can't beleive she bit you.
Dran: *breathing deeply*
Joey: Maybe she's scared. Think she lost her memory again?
Dran: *makes a sound similar to hissing* Leave me alone......
Ryou: Hmmm.....i wonder if.....
Yugi: *fidling with the puzzle* I wonder what could be wrong with her.
As the air outside grew crisp and began to become cold, Dran shivered, refusing any warmth her friends would offer. If Ryou didn't know any better, he'd say she was being bratty. But that opinion quickly changed when Drans quietness changed to a struggle for control of her own mind. Dran shot up instantly, as her eyes went blank and the struggle began. It took Yugi's brain a few moment's to process what was going on, when he found out, he told the others. She shook like a bead in a rattle. She fell on the floor writhing in a desprate struggle she might not even win. She just let go. Dran stopped fighting, giving Malik the easy way in for some odd reason.
Joey: You never give up do ya'?
Malik/Dran: She doesn't care anymore. I know. She rememberred all she had done to you, and she thought she didn't deserve your friendship. You made your bed, now lie in it!
Yugi: Why now? Why Dran?
Bakura: Because, in her weakened state, it's much easier to accomplish.
Joey: *he and Yugi back up until thier backs bump together* This is not good for us...
Yugi: I would think not Joey!
Malik/Dran: And now, i just want to witness it.
Malik: *appears as himself* Now, my dear Dran, with the help of Bakura, this time you shall not fail in destroying them.
Bakura: I'm just here for laughs. And causing pain.
Yugi: Joey, i don't think this is going to end well...
Joey: Something tells me the same thing...
Malik: Kill them.
Dran and Bakura began walking, but for some reason, Dran wheeled around and cut off Bakura. She deeply sighed and signaled Yugi and Joey to run. She disabled Malik by sticking him in a spirit sphere (sphere forged from spirit energy).
Dran clasped Both hands on each side of Bakura's head and harnessed spirit energy into his veins. He jumped startled by the unpleasant shock. He seemed to fly as he was sent backwards by the shock. Dran disposed of the sphere and all it's contents. Dran rushed over to Bakura, who she hoped he wasn't.
Dran: Ryou....?
Ryou: *sighs* I'm so tired of this...i keep almost hurting people!
Dran: I got rid of Malik and Bakura for you. Don't worry. They'll both be out cold for quite a while.
Yugi: Is it safe to come out now?
Ryou: Yeah. I'm fine.
Dran: Same here.
Joey: We thought we were goners!
Ryou: *smiles weakly*
Kaiba: *runs in with Mokuba* Whats going on here?!
Dran: No...it can't be....
------------------------------------------
Flashback:Dran
Dran: *wakes up in some kind of shackles*
Kaiba: It seems you finally woke up. Congradulations.
Mokuba: Big brother, commencing enhancers!
Dran: Enhancers?
Machines began to clank loudly, beeping and clicking was following all kinds of read outs. She never had a chance to ask what was going on before her body began to shake and rattle. A vitals meter was abover her holding area, as it increased rapidly, an error of somekind ocurred.
Kaiba: Stop the machines!!
Mokuba: They're in override! They won't obey!
Drans teeth shook in her head, as her eyes shot open, her DNA was reforming itself and it hurt like heck. Dran clenched her teeth so hard she thought they would crack. At that time, tha shackles began to form cracks and dents in themselves. She let out a long scream, all she could hear was her own screaming and the desperate attempts of the Kaiba brothers to stop the testing. The shackles could no longer sustain the pressure. They cracked more, and exploded off her body. Metal chunks flew every where, riochetting off the walls, destroying things. Dran's hand had some reflex, as she some how fired a beam, destroying the machinery. There was silence, embers, smoke, and a very odd Dran. She collapsed on her knees, breathing harshly. she backed into the wall as Kaiba stretched out a hand towards her, trying his best to comfort her. It was no use. Dran recoiled herself. A large shadow landed in front of her and knocked the elder Kaiba brother on his backside. She could no longer hold conciousness. She blacked out, and all she saw before she blacked out, was the figure turning towards her, and whispering something to her.
End of flash back
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tristan: *walks in*
Mokuba: Dran wake up!
Kaiba: Dran....
Dran: Begins to back away....no. i won't let you do it again!
Ryou: Dran are you okay?
Joey: *whispers to Tristan* Somethin' is weird here.
Dran: *Cannot control herself* Leave now!!
Mokuba: Big brother, maybe we should leave.
Kaiba: I'll be back for my subject. *he and Mokuba leave the room*
Dran: *Disappears back to her mother and fathers grave*
Ryou: *Is the only one who followed* Dran, why did you come back?
Dran: I can bring them back....he told me....i could...
Ryou: Oh Dran. I'm sorry this had to happen to you of all people. *crouches next to her* Come home Dran.
Dran: I can't can i? I can't bring them back....
Yugi: Ryou! Come here real quick!
Ryou: *walks over* What is it?
Yugi: She needs to let it all out. She lost them long ago, when she was little.
Dran began to cry loudly, breaking Ryous heart and amusing Bakura. Dran found something on the ground that caught her attention. She brushed of the dirt and found a door. She opened it, as bats flew out. She lifted it out, it was a black rose. She stared at it in confusion.Ryou looked at her suddenly, alarmed by something. Dran's hair was turing colors, from red to fireball red. Her eyes turned red and seemed to burn with anger as she threw the rose down and stomped on it. Dran froze in place. Ryou and Yugi started running towards her. She held up a card of somekind, obviously found in her house. A creature with it's bottom half dispersed in a rose, sent out thorny vines in all directions. Ryou and Yugi managed to avoid them. Dran swayed her head as she began to thrash widly. Her gold talons grew again, as she slashed to rose spectere, destroying it. She ran through the great masses of tombstones, fleeing to get away. She slammed into someone hard and was knocked backwards. She looked up at him, instanly realizing who it was. She looked up at Bakuras mad eyes, fear struck her like an arrow. She signaled Yugi to stay away.Yugi was reluctant to follow orders, but he held his ground. Bakura picked her up and threw her into a nearby tombstone, breaking it to rubble and dust.
Yugi: Dran! I'm coming!
Dran: No...stay away.
Bakura: Yes,you better listen to your friends.
Dran: Ryou...*tears form around eyes*
Bakura: *laughs insanely* He's not coming back to save you this time!
Dran: *bleeding from her forehead* You know, when people don't want you here, you should go away.
Joey,Tristan and Mokuba run up to the scene
Joey: Let her go now!
Bakura: *laughs insanely* Not on your life*
Dran: *breaks free of his grip and faces him*
Tristan: Fight him!
Dran: I'm so sorry Ryou...
She pushed off at incredible power level, tackling Bakura to the ground, pinning him. She raises one of her gold pleated talons, and brought it down with incredible force, making large slask marks in the rings. Bakura managed to escape her, but she tackled him from behind. Thunder clashed with the cloudy sky, and lightning struck the skys darkness with light. It began to rain, soon turning to a steady cascade of faling rain. She looked at Bakura's face, it was filled with fear. He squeezed his eyes shut, as Ryou would have done, preparing for his final breath. She released him.
Dran: *retracts talons* What am i.....
Bakura: *slinks into unconciousness*
Joey: Ryou? You okay man?
Ryou: Dran...where is she?
Dran: *falls on the ground* Hold on Ryou....*drags herself over to him*
Tristan: *looking around*
Ryou: *helps Dran up*
Dran: Thank...you....*eyes shut tightly as she grips the skin over her heart* Arrr...
Yugi: You okay Dran?
Ryou: Whats wrong with your heart?
Dran: Hold on...i'll be here, when you need me...*Goes limp in Ryous arms*
Ryou: Dran? Dran?! Wake up! Answer me!
Tristan: She's gone.
Dran: *begins to dissolve in smoke* I'll be here....always.
Ryou: DRAN!! *tries to grab the smoke* Come back....
Yugi: She's gone...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months later
Battle city: Heart of the city
Dran: RYOU?! Where are you?!
Drans appearance had altered lot since then. She had twin wings coming out of her back, with silver and gold spikes coming from her back, and she had flames from her ankles and wrists. She wore a golden collar with a large sign on it, obviously and angel. She had two ivory horns coming from the corners of her forehead, and two from her elbows, the same with her knees. She was a speed demon.
Yugi: Is that...?
Joey: It can't be...Ryou!
Ryou: What is it Joey?
Tristan: I think it's Dran!
Dran: *rounds the corner and finds Ryou* Ryou!! *turns to how she was before she dissolved*
Ryou: Dran? Is that you?!
They ran into eatch other, Ryou picked her up in a spinning hug.
Ryou: Oh Dran, you had me so worried!
Dran: After i left, i was scared cause you weren't there! I looked all over for you!
Yugi: She's finally back.....
Dran: *twirls around as Yugi and Bakura are enveloped in a yellowish light*
Yami: ohh...my head...
Bakura: *Is on his head* Mine too....
Ryou: *is knocked out*
Yugi: *flew into a corner* What happened...?
Dran: Now you two are free!! *turns to Bakura* And you,....
Bakura: Oh crap...
Dran: *runs up and hugs him* Thank you for showing me that i was too weak to go on.....
Ryou: *whispering to Yugi* I think they'll get along well.
Joey: Whats going on..!?
Dran: *takes Bakura over to Joey* This...is the one who took care of me before Malik did!
Ryou: WHAT?!
Yugi: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Bakura: *silent*
Dran: He left so long ago!! I didn't remember him! Now i do,
Malik: *lands in front of them* Now that you're back, it's time to come with me!
Dran: *hugs Bakura tightly*
Bakura: *looks down at her, then at Malik* You can't take her. She's my responsiblity.
Malik: Then i'll take her from you!! *Uses the rod to pull Dran towards him*
Bakura: *protects her with the ring* You'll have to do better than that.
Yugi: Dran! Come here!
Dran: *runs to him* Are you happy Malik. That while you're sleeping comfortably, i'm in pain bacause of you! Where were you when i cried my eyes out for you? Thats why i left! You didn't care!! You never did!
Bakura knew he needn't attack him, for he was being verbally abused by Dran. Malik stood there while he was assaulted by Drans words.
Dran: It seems i've spent all these years learning how to survive without you, and i now have my real friends!
Malik: Dran... i never knew.
Ryou: Dran, thats enough. Stop now.
Yugi: Dran theres no need to continue this!
Yami: Just let him be Dran!!
Dran: *stares at him with burning hate* You left me to die.....
Bakura: *banishes Malik elsewhere as he walks over to Dran* It's alright Dran. He's gone.
Joey: Why don't you go play Dran?
Dran: If you insist.
Dran changes to her speed demon form as she races throught the city, as fast and silent as the wind. She ran by newspaper stands, causing papers to fly everywhere. She raced past the game shop, startling Yugi's grandpa. She raced around like a cheetah, and gave a holler of happiness. She was home. As she ran, the wind combed through her wild hair, sendiing it waving everywhere. Her eyes turned sky blue, as the wind helped her spirits soar. She jumped over a park bench, and began to race back to Ryou and the others. She ran a different way than which she had come, and stopped in front of Ryou and the others, making dust and gravel fly everywhere.
Dran: That was amazin! *Turns normal* Weird...*sniffs the air, her nose leading to Joey*
Joey: What? I smell bad or somethin?
Dran: *is staring at Joey as she begins to approach Joey, unable to contain herself*
Litte did they know, she had aqquired a new problem while she was away. She had gotten bitten by some type of dog, and it had some kind of problem. She realized it wasn't really a dog.
Ryou: Dran, are you a....?
