Draciel's new look

By Bester of Death, Yami Bez and Bester

The blade breakers were once again going on a tour of Europe, looking for new bladers and new techniques. They were in Paris at the moment and staying in one of Oliver's hotels, rant free. At the moment all the humans had gone out for dinner and Draciel merged from her blade. She took a deep sigh and sat down at the small dressing table that had a mirror on it and stared at her reflection. She was one human year out of her adulthood yet she didn't look any older then her human master Max who was15. She had large purple eyes, with long purple hair that reached her waist. Her clothes looked like her master Max's saver hers were black and purple with small black ankle boots. She picked up the hairbrush that was on the stand and started to brush her long hair. Maybe if she put it up in a ponytail like Dranzer's it would make her look older or maybe a change her clothes to a dress like Dizzy.

"BOO"

Draciel jumped up high and dropped the hairbrush as Dragoon laughed at her.

"Hey Ceil what's up?" he smiled "Because it looked like you a second ago"

"Ha Ha Dragoon very funny" she gave him a weak smiled and picked up the hairbrush.

"Hey what's the matter Ceil?" Dragoon asked as he knelt down beside her.

"Goon can I ask you something?" the purple earth bit beast asked the blue storm one.

"Um, Sure"

"Can we change our appearance? You know look completely different to what we look like now?"

Dragoon blinked for a couple of seconds and bit his lip. Finally he sighed and looked defeated.

"I don't know Draciel; I have never heard of any of our race changing their appearance. Why do you ask?!

"Because I'm a year out of my majority and I still look like a cub!" Draciel moaned as he hid her face in her hands and slumped on to the dressing table.

"Oh. I thought you like looking like that. It gives you a certain edge in battle because everyone thinks you're innocent that they underestimate you"

"Kind of like you. Everyone thinks you're an idiot!"

"Yeah" Smiled Dragoon though about a minute later the penny dropped "HEY!"

Draciel laughed and hugged her old friend letting him know she was only kidding. After a few moments she became melancholy again and she let out a huge sigh as she slumped in Dragoon's lap. Dragoon patted her on the back and tried to think of a way to help the small earth beast.

"I think I've got an idea that may help you Draciel"

"Really? What?"

"Well not so much an idea but more of a person that could help you. Go and talk to Dranzer"

"Dranzer? How can she help me?"

"Because her appearance has change a little bit"

"What?"

"Now don't tell anyone I told you this. But when she was little she had one gold steak of gold in her hair but the cutest aspect of her was the fact that her hair was completely straight until the end. It went curly!"

"But her hair now is completely straight and she has loads of golden steaks." Exclaimed Draciel excitedly.

"Yeah, so go and ask her, but don't tell her I told you about the curls."

"I won't! As long as you promise not to tell anyone about me wanting to change my appearance"

"Deal"

Dranzer was sitting in the living room in one of the armchairs curled up with a book. Out of the five bit beasts she, Dizzy and Drigger were the only ones that could read and write in human. She had learnt a lot of it though Kai as Drigger did thought the years he was with the White Tigers clan. Many bit beasts found this worthless skill and did not bother to learn. She turned a page "on mice and men" and continued to read when Draciel entered the room. Draciel watched the older bit beast for a while but then took a deep breath and walked over to the fire bird. Dranzer felt a shadow loom over her and she looked up.

"What is it Draciel?" She asked putting down her book.

"I…I have come to ask for your help?"

"What for? You don't need to practice surely after the work out we all had today"

"No it's nothing like that"

"Then what?"

"IwanttochangemyappearaceandIwantyoutohelpmeplease" Draciel burst out. Dranzer blinked and stared at the blushing girl.

"Mind saying that again in a slower speed?"

"I said I want to change and I want you to help me please"

Dranzer's mouth dropped with surprise "What? Change your appearance?"

"Yes" said Draciel as she dropped down by Dranzer's knees.

"Why? I believe your what Drigger refers to as Cute"

"THAT JUST IT!" Shouted Draciel jumping up "I DON'T WANT TO BE CUTE! I want to look…I don't know, dangerous, wild, like you!"

"Like me?"

"Yeah, I've seen some beast simply look at you and cower. You glaring at them turn them in to a block of ice"

"That more to do with attitude Draciel not looks. As for cowering, most of them do that because of my status."

"I know attitude has a lot to do with things Dranzer, but my clothes don't fit the way I feel. You have seen me battle recently do I honestly battle like a new born?"  

Dranzer arched an eyebrow.

"Ok don't answer that!" snapped Draciel "But what I mean is, is that I'm not a kid anymore and I don't want to be treated like one because I look like one"

Dranzer nodded and got up "How far are you out of your Majority Draciel?"

"About 10 months to a year" said Draciel

Dranzer sighed and looked at Draciel "You really want to look different?"

"Yes"

"Is Digger the one behind this idea of yours?"

"Huh?"

"Is he the reason why you want to change?"

 Draciel blushed and nodded. She should have known that Dranzer would have some really idea about what was going on. She, like her master Kai, observed people and watched them. Perhaps she was there when Drigger read to her, the night she decided to change.

//Flash back//

"When Jane heard that Author had been killed she ran away to a Nunnery and no one could ever make her smile again. The End" smiled Drigger as he looked down at Draciel. Draciel had laid her head on Drigger's lap as he read to her listening to his soft voice.

"That was wonderful Drigger. What a beautiful story"

"You're welcome Draciel"

"I wonder though…"

"About what?"

"What it would be like to kiss someone"

Drigger blushed deeply "Why do you ask?"

Draciel sat up then so she was nose to nose with him. Her dark purple eyes staring in to his cat like green.

"Have you ever kissed someone?" she asked

"No but…"

Draciel sealed his lips with her own putting both of her hands on the sides of his face. Drigger did nothing at first but slowly started to respond to the kiss.  The kiss became heat and passionate as Draciel pushed her tongue forward in to Drigger's mouth. Drigger suddenly pulled away from her and almost pushed her off his lap and started to head for the door.

"Drigger?" Draciel called out

"This didn't happen Draciel! You're still a kid and I'm not going to take advantage of you" he said with out even looking at her. There was silence and Draciel pleaded with her eyes for him to turn around and look at her but he didn't. He left.

//End of Flashback//

"I am going to help you Draciel, but What I say goes no arguments" said Dranzer

"Yes Dranzer and Thank you!"

"Very well then, get a coat."

"Huh?"

"We're going to get you some new clothes. Master Kai has given me what he refers to as an allowance, so I have money to buy anything I feel I need or if I ever got lost some where and need to get back. You can pay me back later"

"Alright Dranzer…and thank you!"

"Don't thank me yet Earth sprite, you have yet to see what I have planed for you"

"Have either of you seen Draciel?" asked Drigger, as he walked in on Dizzy and Dragoon's game of "Go Fish" 

"Not since earlier" said Dragoon "Go Fish Dizzy"

Dizzy picked up a card "Last time I saw her; she picked up Max's coat and left with Dranzer. That was about two hours ago!"

"And neither of them have returned?" said Drigger

"No. Dizzy have you got any aces?" asked Dragoon

"Go Fish!"

Drigger growled under his breath and stormed off. Didn't those two care about Draciel? Fair in saying that she was with Dranzer but for both of them to be out for two hours seemed unlikely. The fount door opened and with the scents that came in on the air, he knew it was Dranzer and Draciel. Dranzer came in first with a satisfied smirk on her face as she dumped a large bag on the floor.

"Drigger just the bit beast we wanted to see!"

"Dranzer where is Dra…ciel?" Drigger staggered back as someone that looked like Draciel entered the room. This Draciel was wearing black leather pants, with combat boots and a tight fitted Purple tank top. Her hair was in a high ponytail with two long pieces down the side of her face. Her large purple eyes were outlined in makeup.

"Ciel? Is that you?" asked Dragoon as he and Dizzy joined Drigger in the hall.

"Yep it's me guys! What do you think?" she asked

"A defiant improvement" said Dragoon as he winked at her "I wouldn't want to mess with you in the ring!"

Draciel smiled at him but her eyes were fixed on Drigger. He was simply staring at her with his mouth open.

"Drigger, can you shut your mouth? Some of us would like our fair share of air too you know" said Dranzer who leaned against the wall.

"Draciel what happened to you?" asked Dizzy in disbelief.

"I wanted a new look. Do you like its Dizzy?"

"It's…different. But it does look good on you Draciel." Smiled Dizzy as she nodded her approval of the change.  

"Good Drigger what…"

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE!" shouted Drigger

"I wanted to change my look Drigger. So I didn't look like some dumb kid bit beast"

"You are still a child Draciel" he growled

"I won't be in a couple of months Drigger! I am adult and I can look how I please!" 

"FINE!" he hissed at her "Let these other fools agree with you and your so called look, but I want have anything to do with this new you in or out of the stadium" and with that Drigger stormed off to his master's room.

Draciel's mouth trembled but she chocked back the tears, not wanting the others to see them. She walked past them and went in to her master's room and sat down on the bed. Why hadn't Drigger liked her new outfit? Didn't he want her as an adult? The door opened and quickly closed again as Dragoon came in and sat beside her. He picked her up and hugged her, quickly wiping away her tears, before they could smug her makeup.

"He'll get over it Ceil" smiled Dragoon weakly "He just needs time to get over the shock"

"Thanks Goon! I really thought he would like it"

"I think it looks great Ceil. You knock all the guy bit beasts for a loop in the ring." He laughed

"Do I honestly look that good?"

"You have always looked good Draciel" he said "You just never realized it"

"Wow you actually sounded intelligent for a moment there" laughed Draciel

"Hey I do have a few brain cells that work you know! Dranzer hasn't knocked them all out of me yet!" 

Draciel smiled again and gently gave him a butterfly kiss on the lips. Suddenly she did it again this time keeping her lips on his for a few moments before pulling away. Dragoon's eyes were closed and his face wore unrecognizable frown. When he opened his eyes again he stared down at Draciel and gave her a half smile.

"Good Night Draciel" he muttered as he left the room.

"Night Dragoon" she said as the door closed. Draciel let out a moan of frustration and flung herself on the bed.  What the HELL was that about? She had just kissed her best friend. A best friend who's girlfriend was the one who helped her out with the clothes. Who was also one of the most powerful bit beasts in the world? What was she going to do?
