Chapter Two- The Secret
"Ahh!" Kura was on the ceiling before Kaiba finished his sentence. "Ghost!" Yugi burst out laughing as he lay on the couch across the room, resting. Kaiba chuckled an evil chuckle to himself.
"I'm no ghost. Get off the ceiling, Kura." he said. Kura landed on his back on the couch sitting across from Yugi, flipped over and glared at Kaiba who had an evil grin on his thin face.
"Ha, ha. Very funny. 'At least my robes have pants.'" he muttered. Crash! The window nearest Kaiba exploded inward, cutting everyone with glass. A large, white river dragon stood there. It shook glass shards off and looked inside.
"Did anybody think of adding a dragon door or a doorbell?" it said angrily. "Kura, where is everyone?" The reason that he asked that was because he wore blinders. These made him blind for side vision (obvious).
"No clue. Ryou's in his kitchen, making lunch." Kura joked. The dragon beckoned them all to come closer. Kura held Yugi up by the shoulder so he could move closer.
"You won't believe this." the dragon led them to Ryou's kitchen. Inside, it was a battlefield. A large, fierce looking, black chimera was sprawled by the entrance, bleeding everywhere. Kaiba's eyes met the chimera's dying gaze, glaring at each other with pure hatred. Kura gave Yugi to Isis and checked if the thing was breathing. It was, yet quite harshly. It growled deep in its throat, than closed its eyes in pain. It suddenly shuddered and lay still. It shrank to reveal a young boy. He was out cold, wearing bloodstained, torn clothes. His spiky black hair was the only thing that made him in this state to look normal. With blood masking his face, nobody but Kura recognized him. At that moment, Ryou appeared at the door.
"What on earth? What happened? Who's he? 'Is it my imagination or is Kaiba becoming a bird? I'm hallucinating. Come on Ryou, wake up.' Look out!"
A giant brown chimera stood in Kaiba's place. Being part dragon, part scorpion, and part eagle, it was a horrifying sight. Its claws were caging the black haired boy. He stirred, groaning. Blood trickled down his face from a wound the chimera's claws had caused on his forehead. Kura noticed the blood came from a horizontal wound; however, it wasn't torn...
"Hand over the Millennium Puzzle or this kid will get turned inside out." The chimera hissed its claws close to the boy's throat.
"Kura, get Yugi and run!" Ryou yelled. Kura did as he was told. The chimera ran after them. Grabbing his bow and arrows, Ryou fired four.
"Grrahhhhhh!" The chimera ripped the arrows out, roaring in anger and pain. It turned and slashed Ryou with his talons, making the boy stumble. With talon wounds on his face and arms, Ryou prepared to fire again, but saw Yugi dangling limp on one claw. 'Where's Kura?' he thought. As in answer to his question, a large wolf appeared, growling. Bakura fired more arrows, careful not to hit Yugi. As the small boy fell, Kura grabbed him with his teeth (ouch). Isis ran to the wounded wolf, taking Yugi from his jaws. After seeing him off safely, Kura attacked the chimera. Ryou became a cream colored chimera to battle. Raking Kura into 'wolf burger' with his claws and beak, he made the wolf run away. The chimeras faced each other and charged.
"Ow, ow! Hey, ow!" Kura yelped as Mokuba cleaned his wounds. Yugi was asleep beside Isis, who was bandaging the wounds on his head and arms. The black haired boy was also asleep on the other couch, a bandage around his head. After a few moments, a white chimera crashed into the ground. It was Ryou. He shrank back to his old self and collapsed, breathing harshly. Blood matted his white hair while open wounds made a large, dark red puddle underneath him. His life dwindled as he spoke.
"It…it won…" Ryou lost consciousness after five seconds of staring at Kura. Isis looked worried as she finished bandaging Yugi's arm.
"Mokuba, can you heal him?" she asked the younger Kaiba brother.
"(Yawn) you do it. I'm tired." Mokuba answered, lying down to sleep. At that moment, Yugi woke. He sat up, yawning and stretching his sore, stiff muscles.
"I heard what you said, Isis. I think I know what attacked that kid." He said, looking serious.
"Really? Who? Who attacked Ryou?" Isis said kneeling by Ryou's unconscious form.
