~Darkness comes and darkness goes,

Shadows creep and shadows crawl,

Light that comes will soon be gone,

Leaving me blind to all.~

Tikoga's POV ( 1,000 years ago )

"Your mad! Tikoga, don't do it!" My sister said, grabbing my arm. "Gaia, I love him and I want to be with him. Don't try to stop me." "But what about your heritage? Your supposed to be crowned the new queen of dragons! Chaos won't be happy..." The light brown dragon was obviously upset. Her emerald eyes dewy with tears.

"Either you, Aquaria, or Electra can take my place." I replied stubbornly. "Your immortal, you'll have to watch him die! You'll be hurt when that time comes." "I will live with the pain. I love him and want to be with him. I will face any consequences." Gaia was finally quiet and I left.

I returned home only to find his house empty. I searched everywhere and found nothing. I asked his neighbors and they said that he had been killed by one of the demon wolves. It broke into his house and tore him to pieces. The body was removed and a funeral was held. They all said that they were sorry for his untimely death.

Why humans apologized when someone died was beyond me. I never understood what they were apologizing for. Then a thought occured to me, Gaia had known. That was why she tried to stop me. That thought rang through my head, repeating itself like a broken record. Gaia had known, Gaia had known, Gaia had known, and she didn't tell me. It hurt. It hurt so badly.

Days later, I was given my crown and the title; Dragon Queen Tikoga.

Again. I'm in love again. And this time, I won't let anything hurt him. His name is Jonah Wintren. He and I became close friends fast, and now, I bear his children. We married last year, under the light of the full moon. nine moths ago, we said we wanted kids, now we were gonna have twins.

I thought nothing could go wrong, but I was wrong. The High Council of Dragons needed me that day and also decicded to separate my children. I knew they had come when all the doctors passed out, and the lights shut off. Chaos herself had come for me, and took me away.

"Do you realize what you almost did? A dragon that, as a human, bears twins has both children in both forms!" I never saw Chaos so angry before or so confusing. I also never knew that one of my children would be born a human, while the other be born a dragon.

"As punishment, the human girl shall be returned to the human world, while the other remains here." Chaos said in a serious tone. With a slight huff, Chaos stormed out of the room, followed by the others. Gaia stopped and said,"Don't worry, Chaos knows you didn't know. Your not in real trouble."

After what felt like hours, Gaia returned with news. " The girl is with Jonah. Right now Jonah won't name her, he's waiting for you. I think Chaos may force him to remarry. I'm not sure, but at least she'll be safe, right?"

I nodded, as long as no one found out who I really was, who SHE really was, she'd be safe. I later, discovered Jonah remarried. The woman was Lottie Smith. Now my girl had a complete family, at least she was happy.

Ryuu's POV

God, he saw. Light Yagami saw. But, he doesn't know. My mind was racing, Naomi was fretting over me and Beyond was yelling at me. I really wish Twitch hadn't called them. Oh well, At least Tikoga's eye changed to match my other one. The cut healed nicely as well.

Now I had to shut up Naomi and Beyond. "Naomi please, I'm fine. It healed nicely. Beyond, I'm not an idiot for starting the fight, it was self defense. Now I suggest you shut up both shut up. Also It's late and Twitch and Terra have school tomarrow. I've gotta meet L to, so time to sleep."

They were quiet, but I knew they wanted to say more. As soon as I climbed into bed I was asleep.

- dreaming-

I was running through the woods, it was so dark I could barely see. Every sound made me jump, evrey shadow made my heart stop. I continued running even though my legs were giving out and my breath came in short gasps. Two small, bloody hands clutched my own as I lead them through the dark. Children, drenched in blood that wasn't their own, scared of the man after us. I stopped and hid them in a bush. "Stay here until morning, then go get help." I whispered. They nodded slowly and I turned to leave. The man was close, so I started running again. The man was their father, and he was an alcoholic. I was told he killed their mother, and was after them. They were only two years old and they didn't understand. He saw me and followed me, the bloody butcher's knife in his hand. My legs gave out, I hit the ground and couldn't get up. He was behind me, and had his weopon raised. I screamed for help, but I knew none would come. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I tried to get away. He brought the knife down, but it never hit me. I looked up and saw my savior. A large, silvery wolf sat on the still man's body. A female, her muzzle was bloody and there were marks on the man's neck. She had killed him and was leaving, but why spare me? Because, I like you, a voice said in my head. The wolf was facing me. She nodded to me and disappeared.

-awake-

I woke to find Beyond laying next to me. " What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed at him, sitting up. "You were having another nightmare last night, so I thought I'd stay here until you calmed down. I guess I fell asleep." He replied, grinning. Wow, so he cared about me, kind of creepy. Tikoga was in a corner with a killer look on her face, she was pissed.

"Get out, B. Tikoga's murderous right now." I said. He understood and left immediately. "I don't like him." Tikoga complained. "You don't like alot of people," I countered. She shook her head in a sad way and padded to the window. "I'll be back," She said, then she was gone.

Oh well, time to get ready. I put my usual tie-dyed T-shirt on, along with my black cat mask. Then I went down stairs for breakfast. As usual Twitch was fighting Beyond for jam, while Terra and Naomi cheered on Twitch. Eventually, Twitch got it long enough to pour some on his plate.

I like this, the life I've always wanted. I grabbed some toast and headed to the door. "Twitch, Terra! School!" I called over my shoulder. They nearly slammed into the door because they ran so fast. I lead them out, only to be followed by Beyond.

"And what are you doing?" I asked. He just looked at me with a confused look. "I guess I'm coming with you." "No. You stay here." I said. "No. I come with you." He said stubbornly. "Fine," I muttered. We dropped the twins off and met up with Naomi back home.

"Ready to meet L?" She asked. I nodded, suppressing a devilish grin. Naomi and Beyond attatched their hand cuffs, and walked off with me close behind.

We arrived as L was saying that so far the families were basically cleared. Our entrance went almost unnoticed except Matsuda waved to Naomi. Everyone turned to us. I was going to love this. They were staring at me.

"Hello gentlemen, panda-san, I am Beyond Justice and it is a pleasure to meet you all." They were all standing there like I just slapped them in their faces. L was the first to speak."So...Your Beyond Justice. It's nice to meet you. I must say it's amazing that you were able to disguise yourself by acting the way you did. Did you not want us to know you were a teenage girl?"

"Cut the small talk L. Your pissed that a teenage girl has beaten you and humiliated you multiple times, while being able to hide her identity." I snapped. L was speechless, but Matsuda wasn't.

"Beyond-san, are you Twitch and Terra's sister?" He asked. "Yes, now I must go I've got things to do. See you soon." I said, turning around and leaving.

I hope you liked it. Beyond was a little weird, but oh well.

Also, I thought a look into Tikoga and Ryuu's pasts might be fun.
