Hey peeps, I'm back. Sorry that I didn't update sooner. That B in history really ticked off my dad, and so he banned me from computers until the weekend.

I'd like to thank:

Umbra: Thank you so much for all the advice, and this time, I spell checked. grin

zzzzzzzRecap of Chapter 3:

"Seto, hurry up!" Yami yelled over the chaos. His words were wasted. Seto had already knocked the female and warrior unconscious. There was a scream behind him. Who was behind him, though? It took a moment to register.

"Kyr!"

zzzzzzzChapter 4: Dragon

The steel felt cold against his skin. He began to quiver in fear. He tried to apologize to Seto and Yami, but Guno pushed the knife harder on his throat whenever he attempted to speak.

"Give up, ye traitors!" Guno yelled, gesturing wildly to his captive, Kyr.

Seto glared at Guno, halting. The fiend came up to the dragon tamer, grinning. He punched Seto in the stomach.

"Drop the weapon," the fiend ordered. When Seto just glared at him, the fiend brought up a knee to the dragon tamer's midsection.

Seto gritted his teeth in pain with loathing in his eyes. He dropped the small steel blade in his hand. The weapon hit the ground with a clatter.

Yami was worse for wear. The fairy kept blinding him with her ability to create light, creating black spots in the healer's vision. She was giggling, toying with him. Out of rage, Yami struck out and grabbed the fairy's tail. With a squeak, the fairy shuddered as she was thrown across the room.

The fiend dove for the healer, angry. "Don't you dare defile her with your touch!" he yelled, slamming Yami onto the ground.

zzzzzzzzzzz

Yami was pissed at this stupid creature. He raised a fist and bopped the fiend on the head, knocking him out. He stood up and brushed himself off before joining Seto.

"What do you want, Guno?" Seto asked, his eyes deadly cold.

Guno looked around wildly at his fallen allies. He growled at the dragon tamer and the healer. He backed up, producing rope. Tying Kyr around the neck while keeping an eye on the two figures was hard, but the task was accomplished in time. Guno then kicked the trembling child to a corner.

When the blow hit flesh, Yami and Seto both jerked forwards, but stopped as Guno applied more pressure to the knife, drawing blood.

"Show me, dragon tamer, your source of power." Guno was grinning like a bad gambler. "SHOW ME!"

Seto thought for minute, but glancing at Kyr's frightened form, his mind was made up almost instantly.

The dragon tamer slowly slid a hand into his coat, and slid out a small wooden stick. It was an intricately carved instrument, with dragon designs running up and down all around.

Shooting another look at Guno, Seto placed the instrument in his mouth, and blew a few notes.

zzzzzzz
Kyr wasn't prepared for the pain that he felt. His eyes grew wide as his back soared with a burning feeling. He felt as if he was on fire. There was a cracking sound as he screamed bloody murder; pale blue light illuminated the room. Two forms rose out of Kyr's back, arching. He screamed again, the fire burning all senses. Crystallized feathers fell towards the ground. Kyr had grown a pair of wings.

Guno's eyes lit up with wonder. He grinned, thinking of all the money he could have by selling the child. All the money, all the gold. How such rum could he buy? What about a big mansion? Would he be recognizied as an important figure for dragon development or mutation?

Yami wasted no time. He muttered a spell, paralyzing Guno as he started laughing manically. Worry struck his every sense as Kyr crumpled to the ground. Seto was already at the boy's side. Yami quickly joined him.

"Oh, my god!" Seto let out a chain of curses. "What have I done?"

"Nothing, you didn't know," Yami said as he examined the boy's eyes.

Kyr whimpered, shaking badly. "It hurts."

Seto clenched his fists. He quickly grabbed the dragon taming device and placed it at his lips. A sweet tune reached the child's ears, lulling him to sleep. Seto felt his hopes run high again as the wings retracted back into Kyr's back.

Yami placed a hand at Kyr's forehead. The child had a running fever. He closed his eyes. His hands got to work, casting a spell to help with the boy's high fever.

After a blinding light filled the room, Seto checked Kyr again for wounds.

"Let's get him to a bed," Seto murmured as Yami finished. Yami nodded.

"He needs rest." Yami looked around at his trashed hut. "Somewhere other then here, too."

Seto agreed. "We can use one of my aquintence's house. To regroup as well as hide."

Yami grimly started setting the room straight, collecting medicines and supplies as he did. Once Seto was ready to go, Yami locked up the hut, and threw the key into some nearby bushes.

Thank you for all the reviews!
