~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yugi awoke to the sounds of laughing dragons, boiling water, and shreiks of joy.

He groggily rose up, and looked around. There was a pot over a fire with water in it, Sapphire and Demon were playing with their 'toy', and great big sheets of water were coming up over the cliffs.

When the dragons saw their master, they dropped Bakura, (who landed on his head) and bounded over to Yugi.

Yugi laughed, and stroked his pets, rubbing behind their ears softly, causing purrs of content to come from the throats of the dragons.

Yugi shooed them off to play, and they did so. He left to go over the cliffs, and see just what was going on down there.

He climbed over the cliff that went out the farthest, and peeked over.

Shizuka, Skullz, and Yami were having an all-out water war against eachother.

Skullz (of course) was winning, and it looked as though Yami was in second. Shizuka was losing badly.

Skullz had reduced his size to a human's, to make the game fair. While Skullz was dunking a shreiking Shizuka, Yami crept up behind him.

When Skullz came up to just the right height, Yami let out a battle cry, and lunged.

It worked like a charm.

Skullz went down headfirst, and Yami clung onto his neck, waiting for the thrashing to start.

Skullz was soon thrashing about, blindly trying to get the human off of his face.

He finally flung Yami off, spread his wings, and flew out of the water. He landed next to Yugi, shook himself thouroughly, and began to preen his scales.

Shizuka had gotten out as well, and was on Sapphire's back, drying in the sun.

Yami was still in the water, doing a happy dance. "I WON!!!"

Yugi smirked and spread his wings. He glided down gently, making sure that he was out of sight. Yami got out of the water, and was sunning himself on a rock.

Yugi dove underwater, and swam gracefully twords the rock. He brought his head up, and looked at Yami. He had his eyes closed, one leg supporting the other, and his hands behind his head.

Yugi smirked, climbed out of the water, and stood behind Yami.

"BOO!!!!"

~~~~~Yugi's p.o.v

Yami jumped three feet in the air, and landed with a loud splash in the water.

His eyes came out of the water, and glared at me.

I smiled, showing off my pearly whites.

"I need to leave. Tonight."

Yami came out of the water, and looked at me strangely.

"Why?"

I refused to meet Yami's eyes, and I turned my head away.

"I need to conduct a ritual.....it requiers much planning, and must be done tonight. I'll talk to you later, ok?"

"What ritual is this?"

"I can't tell you. I'm sorry....but it won't work if anyone human knows."

Before Yami could ask anymore questions, I spread my wings, grabbed Yami around the waist, and pulled him up on my back. I spread his wings, and flew.

I flew up to the clouds, and swerved to and fro between them. Yami watched, amazed at the sight that was before him. Suddenly, I turned sharply, and Yami clung to my neck for dear life. I looked up at him, surprised and amused. I tried to loosen his grip, but Yami didn't plan on letting go anytime soon. So, I shrugged, and continued to soar.

I found a cornucopia shaped cloud, and circled around it, sticking my clawed hand in the middle, searching for the prise that was in it. My claws touched something, and I grasped it tightly. I pulled out my hand, and in it was a sapphire.

~~~~~~~~~~end p.o.v

Yami lookd agast at it. "What? You've never found a gem in a cloud?" Yugi asked.

Seeing Yami's confused face, he spoke. "It's a mahic sapphire. These kind, sapphires, are extremly rare. You only find them in a cloud shaped like this. Here," he handed the jewel to Yami, "Keep it. I already have seven of each, I need no more."

Yami looked in his palm. There sat a beautiful see-through gem, of a bluish color.

"Thankyou Yugi..."

Yugi turned around and liked him on the cheek. He smiled warmly, then turned back to to face the clouds.

~*See? I TOLD ya that he likes you!!*~

'YOU AGAIN??!?!! GO-AWAY.'

~*No*~

Yami mentally sighed.

'Please? I wanna enjoy this ride...'

~*Fine. But first, we need to discuss the matter of a gift in return to this little lover of yours...*~

'He's NOT my LOVER!!'

~*Oh, but he is. I can read his thoughts you know, and he likes you*~

'Fine, but.......what do you suggest I get him?'

~*Chocolates?*~

'EVERYBODY gives people chocolates, I want something......special, something that'll take his breath away...'

~*A kiss?*~

'........'

~*Ok ok, fine......humm......how about something made out of gold?*~

'GREAT!!! ....but, what are we going to use??'

~*How about that puzzle you always wear?*~

'But......but....it's the only thing left of my parents.....'

~*Why not make another one then?*~

'Not a bad idea....'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Yugi, Skullz, and Demon left Paradise, Yami got up. He looked over to Sapphire, who stayed behind to look after Shizuka. She was sleeping peacefully, Shizuka curled up at her side.

Yami snuck away, and ran to a cave he had found while exploring the island the other day.

~*Soo.......what do we need?*~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yugi, and his dragons gathered the ingredients for the ritual. It would put the moon in the right stage to make Yami a dragon.

'Then I can stay with him...'

Skullz was out looking for herbs, Demon was out looking for a ruby, and Yugi was preparing a bowl to mix it all in.

He was done. All he had to do was smear the bowl in a clear-like paste. It acted like a sealing, like a finish. It would prevent any damage to the bowl, and without it, the ritual wouldn't work.

Skullz came into view with a bundle of herbs in his mouth. He was grinning like a fool, why Yugi had no idea.

Skullz placed the herbs at Yugi's feet, received his reward, and went to lie down.

Demon came soon after that, with sevral pieces of the red gem called a ruby in his claws. He also placed this at his master's feet, and went to go lie down to sleep next to Skullz.

Yugi smashed the pieces of ruby until they were nothing but mere splinters. He put that into the bowl, then turned to the herbs. He cooked these with his own breath for a minute until they were black. He added this to the splinters of ruby. Next, he took out a piece of a silver wolf's hair, an eyelash of his own, and a scale that Sapphire had shed for him. He grabbed a black rose from the ground, and added this all into the bowl. It was ready. All he had to do, was wait.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami had his mixture all ready, all he needed was the tooth of a dragon........

~*Why don't you go look around the island? I"m sure one of the dragons would have lost ONE of them....*~

But Yami had looked, and found none. You had to be GIVEN a dragon's tooth, you would never be able to find one.....

Yami crept up to Sapphire. He gently nudged her awake. She opened one sleep filled eye, and looked at him.

"Sapphire?"

She never spoke, she instead let you know by her body language. She nodded, urging him to go on.

"Well, I was making a present for Yugi......but I need a dragon's tooth to do it..."

Without a word, Sapphire reached up to her mouth, pluked a small tooth (they HAD a MILION of 'em..) and held it out to him.

Yami looked at the tooth. That was too easy...

He took it anyway, and immediantly found himself in her claws, her eyes staring into him.

"Why do you need my tooth?"

The question burned inside his mind, demanding an answer.

"Well?"

"I'm.......making h-him a p-present..."

She seemed to take this into thought.

"What kind of present?"

"A special one......."

"WHAT?!"

Yami held up his puzzle that had been haning off of his neck since the beginning.

"I'm making a duplicate of this...you like?"

Sapphire seemed to glow in praise, she had never seen gold before. It was pretty.

"Pretty...."

She nodded, satisfied. She let him back down to the ground, and closed her eyes again.

~*WHO-HOO YAMI!!!*~

Yami smirked, and headed back to the cave.

On his way there though......he saw the moon. He stopped to look at it, entranced by its beauty for some odd reason. Then, the moon started to change. It began to form a pie like shape, a full circle.

~*Oh, I know this......but it takes up a generous amount of energy. You know anyone that would do that?*~

Yami didn't answer. He knew exactly what spell this was, and the consiquences of doing it.

"Yugi...." Yami breathed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I'll stop it riiight...

Faux: NOOO!!!!

Blue: NOOOO!!!!........uhh, aren't you supposed to be practicing?

OH SHIT!!!! *runs off*

Faux&Blue: XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yugi collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. He had just done one of the most enhanced spells known to man, and it had taken its toll on him. His wings were plastered on the ground, his ears seemed to be dead, and his tail was a snake that had been sent to hell and back. (in other words, he was EXSAUSTED.)

His dragons had watched the show in fasination, after all, it's not everyday you see the moon turn to its full stage in less than a minute. Well, it was ALMOST at its full stage, they had one more night to prepare for the next spell, the one with Yami.....

Skullz came up to his master, and pulled him onto his back. He signaled to Demon, and they started to fly back to get Yami. He would know what to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami had finished his gift. There were now two golden puzzles in front of him. They were exactly the same. Yami smirked. It'll be a BIG suprise for Yugi.

~*Go Yami, go Yami!!*~

'Oh, go away.'

~*Well, exuuuuse me!!*~

Yami ran outside after hearing the familiar wing beats of Skullz and Demon. He grabbed a falling Yugi, and held him in his arms.

"What happened?"

Skullz looked him dead in the eye, and Yami saw the whole thing, just as Skullz had seen it.

"Whoa...."

Skullz smiled, and nodded twords the knocked out Yugi. Yami smiled back to him, and slipped the puzzle around Yugi's neck.

//Are you okay Yugi?//

/WHAAA?!?!?! Yami?!?!/

//What??//

/How....who...when......where..../

//Shh, all will be explained later. Now, what were you THINKING?!?! Trying to do that spell?!?! It's absaloutly RIDICULOUS!!//

Yugi smiled sheepishly. /Yeah....but you wouldn't have been able to be a dragon if I hadn't!!/

//Your point? I really only care about you, lov-I mean Yugi..//

'That's the SECOND time he's done that......does he love me?'

Yugi thought about Yami a little longer, then the blanket of sleep finally claimed him, and he slipped off into the dreamworld.
