Title: Red Eyes Darkness Dragon

And now, the moment all you readers have been waiting for... A transformation. Yes, this chapter will have a character transform without it being blocked by the character passing out or something. Please note that this is my first attempt at writing a transformation of a character, so please go easy on me. Thanks for reading the previous chapters and I hope you enjoy this one. Oh, one more thing, sorry it took so long. I had been loaded with work and didn't have much free time. Gomen nasai!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of its characters. I only own Aurora, Luna, and Riku.


The bright and sunny day had slowly turned into night, as the sky slowly changed from light blue to an orange and yellow shade of colors as the sun was slowly setting. Joey, Tea, Tristian, and Yugi were all hanging around a giant water fountain that stood in the center of the park. The four sat along the giant rim of the fountain and watched as the sky slowly showed patches of violet along with its orange and yellow colors. Yami was watching the group from afar, making sure that nothing else would come and harm Yugi.

"Isn't the sunset beautiful?" Tea sighed, while she closed her eyes and allowed the wind to gently blow toward her face.

"Yeah. And from the look of it, night is coming soon." Yugi replied, as he pointed toward the violet patches in the sky, and the silouette of the moon, carefully hidden in the clouds. As soon as Joey heard the word "night", he suddenly remembered about his curse.

"Uh, guys? I gotta go. See ya!"

Joey ran toward Riku's house as he heard his friends bid him farewell. Yami watched Joey run off before a gentle wind blew passed his body and he began to shiver. Yami wrapped his arms around his body and tried to keep warm untill he noticed something was a little off. Suddenly he opened his eyes and looked at his hands. Why was he feeling this? Without possessing Yugi's body, he's just a spirit that shouldn't be able to feel anything, but here he was, cold and shivering. He looked up and watched as Yugi, Tea, and Tristian were all about to go their separate ways when he decided to shrug off the problem and follow Yugi to the gameshop.


Seto had been scanning through various chapters of the books he got earlier, and was writing his own notes on a few sheets of paper that were piled up all around the table. The books mostly had information on stuff such as lycanthropes, mystical creatures, and other similar information. He placed down the book he had about lycanthropes and shuffled the sheets of notes together before he placed them aside and picked up a book about duel monster dragons. He was impressed about how well the book would describe well known dragons like a Blue Eyes White Dragon, as well as describe dragons that he didn't even think would exist. He flipped through a few pages before he stopped and came across a chapter that described the Red Eyes Darkness Dragon. He stared at the picture of it, and was about to read its description when someone bursted through the door.

"Hey Riku, you mind if I could stay here ag-"

Joey looked around the room and watched as cold, blue eyes stared at him from behind the book.

"Oh...It's just Money Bags..."

"Hello Dog Boy..."

Joey slowly walked up to Seto and sat next to him on the couch while watching him read the book in his hand.

"Watcha readin'?"

Seto looked up to Joey before he looked back toward the book and mumbled, "It's about dragons..."

"Really? Lemmie see!"

Joey tried to grab the book, but Seto pushed Joey's face with one hand while holding the book in the other. Then Joey tackled Seto and caught him in a head-lock before he grabbed the book and scanned the pages Seto's hand was resting on.

"Red Eyes Darkness Dragon? What's dat?"

Seto tried to struggle from Joey's head-lock before he managed to say, "Try reading, Mutt!"

Seto managed to point at the text printed under the picture on the page before Joey stared at it.

"Oh..."

Joey began to read the paragraph Seto pointed out, while poor Seto was still struggling from Joey's grip.

"Get off of me!"

"In a minute..."


"Grr... I bet Aurora's already hunting down one of the remaining three dragons... And where am I? I'm stuck here in an office with a bunch of weirdos..."

Riku dully watched as the co-workers on the other side of her were busy filling out paperwork that Mokuba gave them. Mokuba was looking out of the window towards the dark violet sky and the sparkling stars. Then he walked up to Riku and gently tugged on her sleeve.

"Hmm?"

"It's getting pretty late. We should close the meeting."

That was music to Riku's ears. She stood up and watched as the co-workers stared at her.

"Ok boys. The meeting is over. See you again in the next meeting."

Both Riku and Mokuba walked out of the room, and as soon as they closed the door the co-workers threw their paperwork in the air and watched as each separate sheet gently floated to the floor.

"Yay! It's over!"

"We're free! We're free!"

"Freedom at last!"

Suddenly Mokuba peaked his head from the door and watched as what's left of the flying papers landed on the floor. All of the co-workers stared in shock at Mokuba, and none of them were brave enough to move.

"You do know that you still have to do that paperwork by tomorrow, right?"

Mokuba gave a cheeky smile before he closed the door and walked away. As soon as he was gone, the co-workers tackled the scattered papers on the floor and tried to pick up their sheets. Meanwhile, Mokuba ran up to Riku, who was about to leave the company building.

"Hey you! Big Brother said he wants you to come back at 1 P.M. tomorrow, ok?"

Riku turned to Mokuba and gently nodded her head.

"Ok..."

She walked out of the building and walked along the sidewalks. Then after walking a few blocks away from the company, she began to run.

(I have gotta make up for the lost time.)

Riku transformed into her ghost form before she leaped up to a tree and then leaped again toward a roof of a random building. She ran all through the night, searching for the third dragon.

(It's close...I can sense it...)


Yami was shivering on Yugi's bed, all bundled up with a giant blanket. Why was he so cold? As a spirit he shouldn't be able to feel like this unless he possessed Yugi's body. He heard footsteps slowly coming up the stairs untill he watched as Yugi opened the door and walked in. He watched as Yugi's content smile turned into a shocked face as he closed the door and ran up to him.

"Y-Yami! How did you- When did you get your own body!"

Yugi crawled on the bed toward Yami before he placed a hand on his forehead.

"You're so cold Yami. What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know Yugi.. I just don't-"

Yami stopped as he felt a sharp, burning pain all throughout his body. He moaned in as he tightly held his chest and fell on his side.

"Yami?"

Yugi moved closer to Yami before he saw what was happening to him. He was changing! Yami gritted his teeth and tightly shut his eyes as his body was shaking violently. His teeth began to sharpen and form fangs. His fingenails began to lengthen, and his hands started to change from its normal tan color to a charcoal black before his fingertips started to become slightly long and sharp. The black patches on his hands started to turn his smooth skin into rough scales. Yami tried to get up, but he fell on his back as his legs became longer, and started to bend into the same structure as a dog's legs, ripping his pants little by little. His feet soon became longer, and the tips of his toes began to become sharper as they became claws. Yugi wanted to help Yami, but stood back when Yami got up on his knees. Yami moaned as he felt two lumps beginning to form on his back. The lumps became bigger, longer, and wider untill they formed layered wings that had ripped his shirt off. His chest began to ache again as his muscles constricted a little, and his chest, legs, and all along his back started to form scales. His pants started to rip more as a tail began to poke out. The tail started to get longer and a little wider before it layed beside his legs. Yami could hear the sound of bones rearranging, and felt a sharp pain in his back and on his chest near his heart. He moaned as his newly formed wings started to form a hard bone at the upper tip that had pressed so hard against his skin that it slightly poked out of it. The bone streched out of the skin before it turned into a shade of orange and began to take the form of a crystal. Yami placed his clawed hands over his heart as he felt another sharp ache. He hissed in pain as he felt a bone push out of his chest before it poked out of his skin and took the form of another orange crystal. Yami breathed heavily as black scales covered his wings and his tail, and orange veins started to form patterns all around the crystals of his body. Yugi watched as Yami layed on his side. Yami slowly opened his eyes to reveal that they had changed to a blood red color. He slowly looked up to Yugi and watched as he cautiously came closer to him.

"Yami..."

He watched as Yugi slowly rose his hand toward him untill he felt him gently petting him.

"It's ok. I'll help you out with this."

Yami looked up and watched as Yugi gently petted him some more before he smiled faintly.

"Thank you..."


Little did Yami and Yugi know, they were being watched. On the opposite side from the building, Aurora stood on top of a tree and watched Yami intently with her dark green eyes. Her hair swayed with the light wind of the night, and her gaze was fixed on Yami as she wore a dark smirk across her face.

"So here's the third dragon... Heh, it's a pity that the brat Riku isn't here. And he looked so promising too..."

Aurora raised her hand and twirled it around in circles as a dark energy followed it. She kept doing this as the dark energy grew bigger and longer. Then she looked up and watched as a raven flew over her head before she threw the energy toward it. The raven looked down and saw the energy before it was struck by it. The raven flapped its wings furiously as it closed its black eyes and cawed in pain before it growed and opened its new glowing eyes while the sign of the oricalcos appeared on its forehead. Aurora smirked and watched as the raven flew down to her and perched on her arm before she roughly rubbed her hand along its feathery neck.

"I want you to give Mikomi a 'warm welcome' for me."

She pulled back her arm before she sharply swung it toward the air, launching her airborne slave in the air like a rocket. She watched as the bird furiously flapped its wings to stay airborne before it flew toward Yami.

Yami curled up on Yugi's lap and lightly purred as Yugi gently stroaked his back with his hand while he covered his body with the blanket to keep him warm.

"It's ok Yami... We'll find help for you."

Yami didn't reply. Instead, he curled up in the blanket and sighed before he flinched at the sound of a raven's caw.

"Hey! A raven!"

Yugi crawled toward the bird and watched as it cleaned its feathers by picking at them with its beak. Yami slowly looked up to the bird, and could have sworn that it flashed him a deadly glare.

"Uh...Yugi?"

"It's alright Yami! It's just a little-"

Suddenly a dark aura surrounded the bird as its eyes flashed a dark red glare and the orichalcos sign shined a bright green on its forehead. Yugi jumped back toward Yami as the two watched the bird begin to grow larger.


Riku had ran for miles over the roofs of buildings in search of the thrid dragon. As she leaped over the passing roofs, she looked back and forth at the passing buildings, making sure that she didn't miss seeing the dragon. She leaped on the roof of the Turtle Game shop and tried to figure out where the dragon was.

"I can't stop searching! I gotta find the dragon before it's too late! Ugh! If only I had a clue or something."

Just as she was about to leap to the next building, she heard the scream of a young boy that wasn't too far from where she was.

"Could that be Mikomi?"

Suddenly she felt the roof under her feet tremble before a giant raven erupted from the buildng. Riku lost her balance from the unstable roof and fell into the building. As soon as she felt herself fall on top of something, she felt someone wrapping their arms around her body. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the large, orange crystal that streched out of the young man's chest before she looked up toward the man's face, only to be stared back by Yami. They both looked at each other before Yami jumped away from her. It then occurred to Riku that she was still in her ghost form, and that Yami was afraid of her claws.

"You! You're the one chosen to weild Mikomi's powers!"

Yami looked at her with a confused expression before Yugi turned his attention from the enormous raven to Riku.

"Ahh! Monster!"

Before Riku could make herself transparent, she soon found herself being smacked around by Yugi's pillow.

"Stay away! Stay away from Yami, you monster!"

"Ow! Hey! I'm here to help!"

Yugi stopped hitting Riku with his pillow, but raised it threateningly as he shot her a glare. Riku didn't pay attention to Yugi as she watched the giant raven let out a mighty caw while glaring at the three.

"At least you can talk more sense into me than you can with that crow!"

The crow let out another mighty caw before it tried to swat Yami, Yugi, and Riku with its talons, but the three managed to jump away before it smashed into a wall instead. Riku stood up in front of Yami and Yugi before she tried to block them from the crow.

"You guys have to get out of here!"

Yugi and Yami both looked at the crow before they looked back at her. Then Yugi shouted "What about you?"

"I'm gonna try to distract this thing, giving you two the chance to get out of here!"

Yami looked up and watched as the giant bird glared at Riku before he shouted, "Are you sure you don't need help!"

"No problem! I can take this gu-"

The crow smacked Riku away with its talons before it pinned her to a wall and glared. Riku returned its glare with one of her own before the crow cawed again and clamped its beak on Riku's shoulder. She moaned in pain as the crow's beak was crushing her shoulder before it was hit in the face by a fireball. The crow screeched in pain as it removed its beak from Riku's shoulder and stumbled around. Riku looked toward the door and watched as Yami had summoned another fireball from his hand before he threw it at the crow again. The crow screeched loudly, but at the same time it had also slowly backed away from Yami.

"Wow. So you know how to use the dragon's power..." Riku mumbled while she watched the crow back up toward the park. She stood up before she leaped toward the bird while lashing out her claws.

"Now it's time for me to deal the finishing blows!"

She slashed the bird with two quick swipes from her claws before the giant bird started to glow bright green and exploded. As Riku landed on the ground, she saw an unconcious raven on the ground beside her, and watched as it opened its black eyes before it stood up and flew away. Then she ran up to Yugi and Yami before she jumped up to them and smiled.

"Well now that all that's over, I guess we went off to a rough start. My name is Riku."

"I'm Yami. And this is my friend Yugi."

Riku and Yami stared at each other before Riku spoke.

"Yami... You must understand. You are the one chosen to weild the powers of a Red Eyes Darkness Dragon named Mikomi."

Yugi stared at the two with a puzzled look before he gently poked Riku.

"Um... Mrs. Riku lady? What's a Red Eyes Darkness Dragon? I never heard about that duel monster."

"I'll explain it later. but for now you two must come with me."

Riku leaped off the building and landed on the ground while Yami picked up Yugi and did the same. Then Yugi looked back toward the game shop, and cringed at the sight of the partially destroyed building.

"Um, Riku? What are we gonna do with the shop? Grandpa's gonna kill me if he sees this."

"Don't worry, I'll think of something."

Yami followed Riku while carrying Yugi before he saw Riku stare back at him.

"You should know that you aren't the only were-dragon, Yami. So far there are two others like you."

"Really? Who?"

"You'll see once we get there..."


"For the last time! Get off of me! I'm not your chair!"

"For da last time! In a minute, Money Bags!"

Joey was reading the book about duel monster dragons while sitting on top of Seto.

"Ok Dog Boy! You leave me no choice!"

Seto tried to free his hand before he moved it under Joey and poked his butt with his claws. At that moment, Joey leaped up in the air and yelped in pain before he fell on his back. Then he looked up and watched as Seto was laughing at him.

"Grrr why you-"

Seto stopped laughing and watched Joey as he pounced on him before he smiled and wagged his tail.

"Hah! Now say 'uncle'!"

Seto glared at him before he got up and flipped Joey on his back. Then he wrapped his arm around Joey's neck and caught him in a headlock.

"Now who's gonna say 'uncle'?"

"Hey! No fair!"

Suddenly they both heard the door open before Riku walked in and stared at the two with sweatdrops, while Yami and Yugi were watching then from behind her.

"Well, you can't expect a warm welcome from those two..."

"Um, hi Riku. It's not what you think!"

"Riku! Money Bags has been torturin' me for hours!"

"Have not!"

"Have too!"

Yami and Yugi both looked up and watched as Joey and Seto yelled at each other.

"Joey? Is that you?"

"Huh? Yug'?"

Yugi ran off from behind Riku before he gave Joey a high five and smiled.

"Yug'! What are you doin' here?"

"I was gonna ask you the same thing!"

It was obvious that it didn't matter to Yugi if Joey was half a dragon or not. Seto stared at the two and snorted before he watched Yami walk up to him from behind Riku.

"Hello Kaiba."

"Oh great. It's you...Why did you bring these two here, Riku?"

"Because Yami is a dragon just like you and Joey. And he wanted Yugi to come with him."

Seto glared at Riku before he gave Yami an even colder look. Yami only stared at Seto without moving or making a sound, while Joey and Yugi were happily talking to each other. Riku slowly walked toward the stairs and sighed.

"Well... At least everything went well..."

"What's going on, Mommy?"

Riku cringed at the voice while Seto and Joey looked up with surprized looks, while Yugi and Yami looked up with confused stares. Everyone turned their attention to a sleepy Luna, while she stood next to Riku's bedroom door. She held a Youko Kurama plush by the arm with one hand while she rubbed her eyes with the other.

"Oh crud..." Riku mumbled, once again she forgot about Luna.
