~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
--------------------------
Drans house
Dran: But..you were....
Ryou: What Dran? What was it?
Dran: I don't know.....but i'm fine now.
Joey: She might be seeing the same things as me.....
Yugi: *Notices Drans nails* Dran...i don't think you're okay...
Dran: *Staring at hands* It's nothing really.
Ryou: Dran, there's something wrong with you.
Dran: *Getting dark lines under eyes* I'm starting to think the same thing.....
Tristan: This is way too weird for me...*Leaves*
The hair on the back of Drans neck was tingling. Something was coming, triggering this transformation. Her memorys were playing over in her head, again and again. The way her parents were killed, everything. Their darkness ebbed into her veins. And it suddenly struck her. These memorys, were coming to her. Tearing her heart two ways at once. A desire to kill, and a desire to protect her friends from herself. They were equally matched. She stared at Ryou and he smiled back at her. she grinned weakly, trying not to think what she might accidentally do to him. She winced at the thought. She handed Ryou the M.Rose-blade absentmindedly and walked out the door. He ran after her, but he lost track of her. He looked into the roseblades engraved blade. It showed nothing to him. It was getting dark outside and Dran was nowhere to be seen. He heard a slight rustling behind him, and saw a shape disappear the other way. Dran laughed slightly as she teleported above him. He looked above him, seeing Dran hovering.The stars began to pop out one by one, shining off her eyes, casting a green reflection on the ground. The celtic rose shone it's silver self, alos casting a reflection.He pretended to walk away, and Dran fell for it. She silently followed him, mimcing the way he was walking. He twirled around and caught her as she squirmed, laughing.
Ryou: Gotcha!
Dran: Oh, you weasel...*laughs*
Yugi: *Runs up panting* There you are.... playing?
Ryou: Just having fun. *Smiles dumbly*
Dran: *Immitates his smile* Duh....
Yugi: *Sweatdrop* You guys are so weird...
Ryou: Yugi, what ever happend to Tea?
Dran: Tea...?
Yugi: I'm sure she's fine.
Ryou: *Looks at the rose-blade*
Dran: Do you know how to work that?
Ryou: Honestly, i haven't a clue.
Dran: Lemme see it.*Looks into the rose-blade* future...*Hands it back to Ryou* Now it'll show you the future.
He looked into it's golden blade, as it sparkled in the star light, and he watched as an image of Dran bled into place, and she was standing over....him? her eyes were swirled with insanity, and she was dressed in the same kind of cloak Malik wears, and her nails were black instead of gold. She seemed to be laughing as she pulled out one of her nailed hands, covered in blood. He looked at it, hardly able to beleive what he was seeing. Dran looked at him and smiled, unknowing of what he was seeing. He told the blade to cease, and it went blank.
Dran: What'd you see?
Ryou: *Smiles fakely* Good fortune.
Yugi: Thats good.
Dran: *whispers to the blade* Future D...
He looked into it again, wondering what would show up. She ran through the city at top speed, the wind flew through her hair, making it fly every where. It was raining in the city, and her hair was flat, and not spiked. She seemingly tripped as she clawed at the rain soaked cement, desperately trying to get up. A shadow fell over her, as she looked at her persuer, her eyes growing small in terror. She dove to the side to avoid their lunging hand, as she sprang to her feet, he wild red hair sticking to her back, wetted and soaked. She ran without looking back. Dran was falling asleep at Ryou's side as he watched her future appear before his eyes. He heard her crying loudly as she stopped and dropped to her knees. The person who had been following her stopped behind her, panting. It was him. He looked as he put his hand on her shoulder, and she turned around, and flew into his arms, crying. The rain droned out her voice. She pointed towards an amber light. The blades veiw switched towards the front of her house, and Ryou was devastated. Her house burned with an orange glow. At first he thought it was a lamp or two, but that opinion quickly changed. The window burst open, sending flames across the outer walls. The door was black with streaming red cracks in it. The roof had given in already, and flame slicked their way, feeding on the may colored roses. The door blew apart, rocketing flames outwards. If you stood close enough, you'd become beef jerky. The windows were shattered, and flames roared every where, it gave him a veiw of the inside of the burning home next. The flames ran across the ceiling and walls, licking it down like paper. The oil paitning of her family wasn't on fire, but it reminded him of when Dran had gone balistic on Bakura. The fire in her eyes was uncontrollably wild and hateful. Her painted eyes seemed to glow with that same fire, as her parents and her last memories, went up in flames, along with their house. Smoke was everywhere, and ash was falling like the rain outside. It seemed like a war against the rain and the fire. Where water and fire meet there is only vapor. Ryou asked him self silently, a question to puzzle all. "Why so much pain?". The house walls fell down silenty, and all she had, was gone. He told the blade once more to cease.
Dran: So? How bout this time?
Yugi: More good fortune?
Ryou: Yeah. Thats it.
Joey: *walks up to them* Heya!
Dran: *Looks at him awkwardly*
Yugi: *Sweatdrop* It's an exprssion Dran.
Ryou: Dran, just in case anything bad ever happens, i'll take care of you alright?
Dran: I know you will Ryou.
Joey: How cute. Hehe.
Yugi: *Falls over* Ugh.
Dran: *Looks at the sky then at the ground, the back at Ryou* I'm bored.
Joey: *Yanks on his hair* AAAHHHH! She's bored! Run away!!! To the bomb shelter!!!
Yugi: *Trips him* Haha.
Dran: *laughs as Ryou hands her the rose-blade*
Ryou: Here you go. Forgot to give it back. Heh.
Dran: Thank you Ryou.
Joey It's getting late you guys.
Yugi: Lets walk around for a while..
Dran: Sounds good to me. Lets go. The night is young.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location unknown, midnight.
Ryou: So, what are we going to do this late at night?
Dran: Lets have some fun!
Yugi: Uh oh.
Joey: *Does the same thing as he did earlier*
Tristan: Joey, give it a rest.
Ryou: *sighs* You are the weirdest person i've ever met.
Dran: *turns into a Gold and amber phoenix and lands on Ryous shoulder* Hmm....
Yugi: Dran, i have an idea. Fly above the city and see if any one is out on the streets.
Dran: Ok Yugi.
She took off in a blast of red and gold dust, leaving several small feathers behind. She soared through the sky, cathcing a light breeze once in a while. She gave a loud eagle call, sending the waves trhough the city. She saw two small figures, apparently people, walking through a deserted street. She dove down in arrow formation, gaining more and more speed every second. She came in front of Seto Kaiba and his youger brother, Mokuba. The younger one pointed to her, and exclaimed she was a phoemix and started blabbing about the history of the phoenix. She looked at Kaiba and cooed in a pidgeon like way. He stared at her, and slumped his head silently. She gave a sudden eagle call causing Mokuba to fall over, as she took off again, a small flame ignited in the middle of her left talon, as she chucked the small fire wad and the feet of the two. She landed on Ryou's shoulder and ruffled her feathers.
Ryou: Well?
Yugi: Was there anyone out?
Dran: Only Seto Kaiba and Mokuba.
Joey: They've been picked on enough haven't they?
Tristan: Not while we're here Joey.
Dran: *Jumps on the ground and turns human again* Well, how we gonna do this?
Ryou: *Thinking* You used to be a werewolf....
Joey: Vampire is out of the question....
Yugi: I'm stumped.
Tristan: Maybe, if you could turn to an animal that doesn't live in a city, maybe that would scare them....
Dran: Perfect! *Shakes Tristan hand so hard she makes it hurt*
She jumped into the air and her body was surround in a large amber casing. It glowed at the center, and several moments later, it burst open, and Dran was gone. A falling sound was heard from the sky as a large creature landed in front of them. She got up, and she had turned to something that wasn't even from this time period. She was a dragon. She had a sleek body, violet in color, with ivory talons and fangs. She had a tail with a large spike at the end. She had a giant fin in the middle of her back, and it glowed off the stars. She spoke in a soothing gentle voice.
Dran: Ryou, is this okay?
Ryou: *gives her the thumbs up sign* It's perfect Dran.
Yugi: Now thats cool.
Joey: *Drooling for no reason*
Tristan: *Holding hand* Ow...ow...
Dran: *Flys towards Mokuba and Seto's direction*
----------------------------------
The other side of the city
------------------------------------
Mokuba: Seto, can we go now?
Kaiba: Stop being such a chicken Mokuba.
Dran: *Silently walking behind them*
Mokuba: Seto, do you hear something?
Kaiba: *Looks at Dran* ...
Dran: *gets close to his face* Hello.
Mokuba: *Hides behind a quivering Kaiba*
Dran: *Pushes out wings*
Kaiba:What do you want with us?
Dran: *growls softly* Just a simple visit.
Mokuba: *peeks out from behind Kaiba*
Dran: But, then again. Whats difeence between friends? *Morphs back to nomal*
Kaiba: DRAN!!!
----------------------------
Back with Yugi and Co.
-----------------------------------
Ryou: So, how'd it go?
Yugi: Did you scare them?
Dran: Well, they were shaking in their boots. Hehe. Thats all i have to say.
Joey: Eh, Yay! We scared da pant's off em!
Tristan: Don't get too excited.
Dran: Well, i'm bored again.*Yawns and sways*
Ryou: Dran, you need to go to bed.
Joey:Eh, yeah. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
-----------------------------------
That Night
-----------------------
Dran: *Looking at the Rose*
Ryou: You've been starign at that thing for the last three hours. Don't you think you should go to bed in a little bit?
Dran: Nah. *Has bigger dark circles* Sleep is in-efficient.
Ryou: Hmm. *Picks her up and sets her in her bed* Well, not around me it isn't. *Smiles and gets into bed*
Dran: *gets up and walks around until midnight*
She walked over to the window, and she stared out of it. She does it every night. Just like the first time. She stared at the distant grave yard. She never knew she could be this sad. She never knew she could feel so empty inside. She placed her cheek against the glass. She knew this was the last time she would be with anyone. She knew that eventually Malik would come and he would find her. And then he'd take her away. Possibly back to Egypt. She didn't know. And the rose blade could only see so much at a time. She sat on the cold floor and layed down. She had grown accustomed to it lately. It was actually more comfortable than the bed. Everytime Ryou breathed she felt like she could not. It was like she was some kind of virus and he was the one who had to host her. She didn't like the feeling. So she decided to settle herself and go to sleep. The sun rose over the window and woke her up. It was golden and blinding. She sheilded her eyes and the rose glowed. Ryou yawned and streched in place as he rose from his bed and walked past Dran. She walked into the kitchen and sat in a chair. He came down about ten minutes later, ready to go anywhere. Dran yawned and rubbed underneath her eyes. She got up from the chair and walked outside and climbed the ladder that went to the roof. She sat up on the shingles and the wind flew through her body. The rose jingled from her ear. The sun was slowly rising into all the houses in the surrounding area. Ryou climbed up a few minutes later and sat next to her.
Ryou: It's beatiful isn't it?
Dran: yeah. My mother used to take me to our balcony to watch it rise all the time.
Ryou: Well, what should we do today Dran?
Dran: Not sure. *Looks at Rose* What can we do?
Ryou: Well, there's lots to do, Like, we could go swimming,or tour the city.
Dran: Lets go find Yugi and the others
------------------------------
Game shop, 8:00 A.M.
----------------------------------
Ryou: *Walks in with Dran besides him* hello Yugi.
Dran: *Smiles*
Yugi: Hey Ryou. Have you seen Tea around?
Ryou: Not that i've seen. Why? Is she missing?
Solomon: We just haven't seen her in the longest time.
Dran: *Is gone*
Ryou: *Sighs* What a trouble maker...
Joey: *Walkls in* YOW! DIS TING HURTS! *holds up a small garden snake*
Yugi: *Sweatdrop* That would be Dran..
Dran: *Turns to normal* Darn it. I'm bored.
Tristan: *Follows Joey* Dude, you run too fast for me.
Ryou: Dran, want to walk around for a bit?
Dran: Sure. *Smiles*
----------------------
unknown location
-----------------------
Dran was skipping along flinging her arms around and singing. Ryou walked behind her, smiling. She twisted in the air and landed on one hand. That quickly turned into a back flip, causing her to land on her feet. Everytime she swayed, so did the tree's. The wind moaned slightly and Ryou breathed in sharply. Dran stopped singing and turned towards him. She asked if he was okay, and he was. She shrugged and started singing again. A bird swooped above her head and gave an eagle like call. She caught one if it's tail feathers in her hands. It flew away squaking. She gave it to Ryou. It was a thick feather, brown with a white tip.
Ryou: I didn't know there were any eagles in Battle City. *Shrugs*
Dran: Guess so. *see's the bird preening itself in a nearby tree*
Dran's eyes turned gold and her hair moved slightly. She growled deeply and the bird flew away screeching. Her eyes turned green again and her hair stopped moving. She turned towards Ryou.
Ryou: How did you do that?
Dran: I dunno. Natural power i guess.
Yugi ran up behind them and he was followed by Mai. Dran ducked behind Ryou to hide from Mai. She didn't remember from the first time they met each other. Mai laughed likea maniac which made Dran uncomfortable. SHe did however, remeber every single encounter that she had with Bakura.
Yugi: Dran this is Mai. You've met her once or twice before. Do you remember?
Dran: *Shakes head* No, i don't...
Mai: Well, i was the one who thought i was seeing things when we first met you.
Ryou: It's been so long Mai. Where have you been?
Mai: Well, me and Yugi here have been looking for Tea.
Tea: *walks up* Is someone looking for me? Oh, Hi Yugi!
Yugi: Tea! Where have you been?
Tea: Oh, just busy with extra credit school work. Hello Dran. *smiles sweetly*
Dran: Tea! *hugs Tea*
Ryou: Dran, we better get going.
Dran: Okay Ryou! Bye Tea! Bye Mai! *Runs after Ryou*
---------------------------------------------------------
A cliff looking over the entire city, Sunset
------------------------------------------------------------
Ryou: Dran, how are you feeling?
Dran: Strange really. *Staring at the Millenium Rose* I just don't know my place anywhere anymore.
Ryou: Why would that be?
Dran: I'm just, nothing anymore.
Ryou: You don't have to be something to be someone. You just have to be yourself.
Dran: *Turns towards him* I can't. It's so hard. I wish they were never killed. I wish they were still here.
Dran's eyes filled with tears. They fell from her face and glittered in the sun. Her eyes reflected light onto the ground. How could a child stand so much pain? She lost her parents, She had no friends, all she had for company was that rose. She didn't even know how to use it to it's full potential. Dran looked down at her hands. Her yes widened. Part of her arm wasn't there. Ryou was looking into the sun. More and more of her disappeared. Her heart pulse quicked and pounded in her ears.
Dran: Ryou!
Ryou: *Looks towards her* Dran! Whats going on?!
Dran: I don't kn....*is gone entirely*
Yugi: *Runs up followed by Tea and Joey* Ryou! Whats going on? We heard you guys yelling!
Ryou: Dran is gone! She just disappeared!
ryou...come on....im in the sha...

--------------------------
Drans house
Dran: But..you were....
Ryou: What Dran? What was it?
Dran: I don't know.....but i'm fine now.
Joey: She might be seeing the same things as me.....
Yugi: *Notices Drans nails* Dran...i don't think you're okay...
Dran: *Staring at hands* It's nothing really.
Ryou: Dran, there's something wrong with you.
Dran: *Getting dark lines under eyes* I'm starting to think the same thing.....
Tristan: This is way too weird for me...*Leaves*
The hair on the back of Drans neck was tingling. Something was coming, triggering this transformation. Her memorys were playing over in her head, again and again.

He twirled around and caught her as she squirmed, laughing.
Ryou: Gotcha!
Dran: Oh, you weasel...*laughs*
Yugi: *Runs up panting* There you are.... playing?
Ryou: Just having fun. *Smiles dumbly*
Dran: *Immitates his smile* Duh....
Yugi: *Sweatdrop* You guys are so weird...
Ryou: Yugi, what ever happend to Tea?
Dran: Tea...?
Yugi: I'm sure she's fine.
Ryou: *Looks at the rose-blade*
Dran: Do you know how to work that?
Ryou: Honestly, i haven't a clue.
Dran: Lemme see it.*Looks into the rose-blade* future...*Hands it back to Ryou* Now it'll show you the future.
He looked into it's golden blade, as it sparkled in the star light, and he watched as an image of Dran bled into place, and she was standing over....him? her eyes were swirled with insanity, and she was dressed in the same kind of cloak Malik wears, and her nails were black instead of gold. She seemed to be laughing as she pulled out one of her nailed hands, covered in blood. He looked at it, hardly able to beleive what he was seeing. Dran looked at him and smiled, unknowing of what he was seeing. He told the blade to cease, and it went blank.
Dran: What'd you see?
Ryou: *Smiles fakely* Good fortune.
Yugi: Thats good.
Dran: *whispers to the blade* Future D...
He looked into it again, wondering what would show up. She ran through the city at top speed, the wind flew through her hair, making it fly every where. It was raining in the city, and her hair was flat, and not spiked. She seemingly tripped as she clawed at the rain soaked cement, desperately trying to get up.

The house walls fell down silenty, and all she had, was gone. He told the blade once more to cease.
Dran: So? How bout this time?
Yugi: More good fortune?
Ryou: Yeah. Thats it.
Joey: *walks up to them* Heya!
Dran: *Looks at him awkwardly*
Yugi: *Sweatdrop* It's an exprssion Dran.
Ryou: Dran, just in case anything bad ever happens, i'll take care of you alright?
Dran: I know you will Ryou.
Joey: How cute. Hehe.
Yugi: *Falls over* Ugh.
Dran: *Looks at the sky then at the ground, the back at Ryou* I'm bored.
Joey: *Yanks on his hair* AAAHHHH! She's bored! Run away!!! To the bomb shelter!!!
Yugi: *Trips him* Haha.
Dran: *laughs as Ryou hands her the rose-blade*
Ryou: Here you go. Forgot to give it back. Heh.
Dran: Thank you Ryou.
Joey It's getting late you guys.
Yugi: Lets walk around for a while..
Dran: Sounds good to me. Lets go. The night is young.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location unknown, midnight.
Ryou: So, what are we going to do this late at night?
Dran: Lets have some fun!
Yugi: Uh oh.
Joey: *Does the same thing as he did earlier*
Tristan: Joey, give it a rest.
Ryou: *sighs* You are the weirdest person i've ever met.
Dran: *turns into a Gold and amber phoenix and lands on Ryous shoulder* Hmm....
Yugi: Dran, i have an idea. Fly above the city and see if any one is out on the streets.
Dran: Ok Yugi.
She took off in a blast of red and gold dust, leaving several small feathers behind. She soared through the sky, cathcing a light breeze once in a while. She gave a loud eagle call, sending the waves trhough the city. She saw two small figures, apparently people, walking through a deserted street.

She gave a sudden eagle call causing Mokuba to fall over, as she took off again, a small flame ignited in the middle of her left talon, as she chucked the small fire wad and the feet of the two. She landed on Ryou's shoulder and ruffled her feathers.
Ryou: Well?
Yugi: Was there anyone out?
Dran: Only Seto Kaiba and Mokuba.
Joey: They've been picked on enough haven't they?
Tristan: Not while we're here Joey.
Dran: *Jumps on the ground and turns human again* Well, how we gonna do this?
Ryou: *Thinking* You used to be a werewolf....
Joey: Vampire is out of the question....
Yugi: I'm stumped.
Tristan: Maybe, if you could turn to an animal that doesn't live in a city, maybe that would scare them....

Ryou: *gives her the thumbs up sign* It's perfect Dran.
Yugi: Now thats cool.
Joey: *Drooling for no reason*
Tristan: *Holding hand* Ow...ow...
Dran: *Flys towards Mokuba and Seto's direction*
----------------------------------
The other side of the city
------------------------------------
Mokuba: Seto, can we go now?
Kaiba: Stop being such a chicken Mokuba.
Dran: *Silently walking behind them*
Mokuba: Seto, do you hear something?
Kaiba: *Looks at Dran* ...
Dran: *gets close to his face* Hello.
Mokuba: *Hides behind a quivering Kaiba*
Dran: *Pushes out wings*
Kaiba:What do you want with us?
Dran: *growls softly* Just a simple visit.
Mokuba: *peeks out from behind Kaiba*
Dran: But, then again. Whats difeence between friends? *Morphs back to nomal*
Kaiba: DRAN!!!
----------------------------
Back with Yugi and Co.
-----------------------------------
Ryou: So, how'd it go?
Yugi: Did you scare them?
Dran: Well, they were shaking in their boots. Hehe. Thats all i have to say.
Joey: Eh, Yay! We scared da pant's off em!
Tristan: Don't get too excited.
Dran: Well, i'm bored again.*Yawns and sways*
Ryou: Dran, you need to go to bed.
Joey:Eh, yeah. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
-----------------------------------
That Night
-----------------------
Dran: *Looking at the Rose*
Ryou: You've been starign at that thing for the last three hours. Don't you think you should go to bed in a little bit?
Dran: Nah. *Has bigger dark circles* Sleep is in-efficient.
Ryou: Hmm. *Picks her up and sets her in her bed* Well, not around me it isn't. *Smiles and gets into bed*
Dran: *gets up and walks around until midnight*
She walked over to the window, and she stared out of it. She does it every night. Just like the first time. She stared at the distant grave yard. She never knew she could be this sad. She never knew she could feel so empty inside. She placed her cheek against the glass. She knew this was the last time she would be with anyone. She knew that eventually Malik would come and he would find her. And then he'd take her away. Possibly back to Egypt. She didn't know. And the rose blade could only see so much at a time. She sat on the cold floor and layed down. She had grown accustomed to it lately. It was actually more comfortable than the bed. Everytime Ryou breathed she felt like she could not. It was like she was some kind of virus and he was the one who had to host her. She didn't like the feeling. So she decided to settle herself and go to sleep. The sun rose over the window and woke her up. It was golden and blinding. She sheilded her eyes and the rose glowed. Ryou yawned and streched in place as he rose from his bed and walked past Dran. She walked into the kitchen and sat in a chair. He came down about ten minutes later, ready to go anywhere. Dran yawned and rubbed underneath her eyes. She got up from the chair and walked outside and climbed the ladder that went to the roof. She sat up on the shingles and the wind flew through her body. The rose jingled from her ear. The sun was slowly rising into all the houses in the surrounding area. Ryou climbed up a few minutes later and sat next to her.
Ryou: It's beatiful isn't it?
Dran: yeah. My mother used to take me to our balcony to watch it rise all the time.
Ryou: Well, what should we do today Dran?
Dran: Not sure. *Looks at Rose* What can we do?
Ryou: Well, there's lots to do, Like, we could go swimming,or tour the city.
Dran: Lets go find Yugi and the others
------------------------------
Game shop, 8:00 A.M.
----------------------------------
Ryou: *Walks in with Dran besides him* hello Yugi.
Dran: *Smiles*
Yugi: Hey Ryou. Have you seen Tea around?
Ryou: Not that i've seen. Why? Is she missing?
Solomon: We just haven't seen her in the longest time.
Dran: *Is gone*
Ryou: *Sighs* What a trouble maker...
Joey: *Walkls in* YOW! DIS TING HURTS! *holds up a small garden snake*
Yugi: *Sweatdrop* That would be Dran..
Dran: *Turns to normal* Darn it. I'm bored.
Tristan: *Follows Joey* Dude, you run too fast for me.
Ryou: Dran, want to walk around for a bit?
Dran: Sure. *Smiles*

unknown location
-----------------------
Dran was skipping along flinging her arms around and singing. Ryou walked behind her, smiling. She twisted in the air and landed on one hand. That quickly turned into a back flip, causing her to land on her feet. Everytime she swayed, so did the tree's. The wind moaned slightly and Ryou breathed in sharply. Dran stopped singing and turned towards him. She asked if he was okay, and he was. She shrugged and started singing again. A bird swooped above her head and gave an eagle like call. She caught one if it's tail feathers in her hands. It flew away squaking. She gave it to Ryou. It was a thick feather, brown with a white tip.
Ryou: I didn't know there were any eagles in Battle City. *Shrugs*
Dran: Guess so. *see's the bird preening itself in a nearby tree*
Dran's eyes turned gold and her hair moved slightly. She growled deeply and the bird flew away screeching. Her eyes turned green again and her hair stopped moving. She turned towards Ryou.
Ryou: How did you do that?
Dran: I dunno. Natural power i guess.
Yugi ran up behind them and he was followed by Mai. Dran ducked behind Ryou to hide from Mai. She didn't remember from the first time they met each other. Mai laughed likea maniac which made Dran uncomfortable. SHe did however, remeber every single encounter that she had with Bakura.
Yugi: Dran this is Mai. You've met her once or twice before. Do you remember?
Dran: *Shakes head* No, i don't...
Mai: Well, i was the one who thought i was seeing things when we first met you.
Ryou: It's been so long Mai. Where have you been?
Mai: Well, me and Yugi here have been looking for Tea.
Tea: *walks up* Is someone looking for me? Oh, Hi Yugi!
Yugi: Tea! Where have you been?
Tea: Oh, just busy with extra credit school work. Hello Dran. *smiles sweetly*
Dran: Tea! *hugs Tea*
Ryou: Dran, we better get going.
Dran: Okay Ryou! Bye Tea! Bye Mai! *Runs after Ryou*

A cliff looking over the entire city, Sunset
------------------------------------------------------------
Ryou: Dran, how are you feeling?
Dran: Strange really. *Staring at the Millenium Rose* I just don't know my place anywhere anymore.
Ryou: Why would that be?
Dran: I'm just, nothing anymore.
Ryou: You don't have to be something to be someone. You just have to be yourself.
Dran: *Turns towards him* I can't. It's so hard. I wish they were never killed. I wish they were still here.
Dran's eyes filled with tears. They fell from her face and glittered in the sun. Her eyes reflected light onto the ground. How could a child stand so much pain? She lost her parents, She had no friends, all she had for company was that rose. She didn't even know how to use it to it's full potential. Dran looked down at her hands. Her yes widened. Part of her arm wasn't there. Ryou was looking into the sun. More and more of her disappeared. Her heart pulse quicked and pounded in her ears.
Dran: Ryou!
Ryou: *Looks towards her* Dran! Whats going on?!
Dran: I don't kn....*is gone entirely*
Yugi: *Runs up followed by Tea and Joey* Ryou! Whats going on? We heard you guys yelling!
Ryou: Dran is gone! She just disappeared!
