I'm sorry, I'm sorry… but they were just too cuuuute! Kawaii, if you will. Absolutely adorable? Okay, so I thought the idea of Shiryu and Black Dragon together was good. (Bad, but good…) It was the hair, honest! Any guy with hair that long… and there were 2 of them… J Anyhow, they seemed to like each other… (Oh, and not all words will be correct, because baby looney tunes is in the background, not kotz. (by the way, not knowing the black dragon's name, and considering that he's a dark double, I'm going to call him Iryu. Scream at me, or tell me if he's got a name. I've got limited eps. to go by.))… so onto the "edited" version… - *snickers*
------------------
He's going to beat me with one finger. How embarrassing. Shiryu looked at Black Dragon, poised to wipe him out. No… There has to be something… it's not fair his hair's prettier than mine! Weak though he was, Shiryu reached out, managing to catch a lock of his dark double's locks, his other hand covering the 'deadly' finger. He swayed, let himself fall forward. Black Dragon, caught off-guard and more than a little confused, caught him.
"Are you still fighting, Shiryu? Are they really worth your life, your friends?" Puzzled, black on blue eyes stared down at him. "You are willing to risk everything for them?"
"Yes." He braced himself against the other's body, reaching one hand behind his neck. "I will risk everything for them. They'd do the same for me."
"Would they?" Iryu willingly let himself be pulled down into the kiss Shiryu gave him. "Then…" He thrust his finger into Shiryu's chest. Shiryu's eyes widened as his energy was restored.
"Why? Why would you give me your own energy?" Shiryu caught his double as he fell, weak from the transfer, pale purple streaming down his face.
"If your friends are worth your life, they are worth mine," Iryu gasped. "Go to them, Shiryu. They need you. I just… need to rest." His head lolled slightly.
"No! You have to focus your power! Focus, Dragon!" Shiryu cried, shaking his fallen … not-exactly-an enemy. The strange eyes opened, peering up at him.
"None of the other Dark Knights would stay with me like this. But you have to go Shiryu. Your friends… they need you." As if to emphasize that, Shiryu heard Shun calling out to him. "Go…"
Torn, Shiryu looked toward the edge of the cliff. He'd risked his life for those two, and so had Black Dragon. He pulled the other knight into an embrace, kissing him again. "Thank you." Then he raced for the chain. "I'm here, guys. I'm a little tired, but I'll do my best."
He grabbed the chain, beginning to pull as Shun called up, "You're tired? I'm carrying Seiya!" Several other calls of encouragement from Shun helped Shiryu get them pulled up. Recognizing Seiya's 'wicked tan' as a spell, Shiryu set about abolishing it - successfully.
He went back to his fallen cloth (A/N: they call it that why?), resettling it where it belonged, and dropped by Black Dragon again. His double was barely conscious, weakened enough he couldn't speak. "I have to go find Ikki. You don't have to fight for him, remember that. You could fight with us, instead."
Shiryu ran his fingers through the other's thick, blue-black hair, carefully arranging it so that it laid over his double's body instead of splaying across the ground behind him. "That should help keep you warm. I wish I could do more, but I have to go. We have to defeat Ikki." He stood, staring down. "I'll see you again, Black Dragon!"

I said edited. I didn't say well edited…. Eh,. I'll post it anyhow. *recalls the rest of that episode…* No, I am not going to write a Ikki/Shun story. Do that yourself.
