Eye of the Dragon
The Dragon with the Power of God
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
Subaru saw her first...er...sensed her first. It was an anomaly, an abnormal circle of clouds in the sky, like an entry way to heaven. The circle was there in the night sky, framing the Big Dipper---the immortal symbol of the Seven Seals. But when Subaru looked closer at the center of the circle, into the stars, he saw a serpentine light snaking towards the ground. It soon flattened out from a snake to a line, a meteor heading straight for Tokyo Tower. Subaru felt no threatening aura from this.
But then this stream of light turned, and headed straight for Subaru. He jumped back as it impacted with the roof of the building he was standing on. There was a small crater and some smoke gradually blowing away and dispersing. Subaru jumped in to investigate. Standing in the center of the rubble was a girl a little bit older than Kamui.
She had long black hair that was tied up near the bottom of her ponytail (like Tokiko's hair) and skin that was almost white. She wore a pair of jeans and a white spaghetti strap tank-top. She had no shoes and two beaded bracelets on either wrist. She wore a necklace with a pentagram, and a dragon curled around the outside, as if to be the frame of that pentagram. She turned her head to look at Subaru, revealing the scar over her right eye, and her piercing ice-blue eyes.
"Um...hello?" Subaru tried, hoping this girl actually talked.
"Subaru Sumeragi, Dragon of Heaven, 13th head of the Sumeragi family." She said in reply. Subaru said nothing. He was slightly shocked. The girl said nothing else, but walked to the edge of the building, eyes scanning the world below.
"How do you--?"
"Where can I find Kamui of the Seven Seals?"
"What?!"
"Where can I find Kamui of the Seven Seals?"
Subaru said nothing again. A strange girl looking for Kamui, a girl who had come from the stars. He walked up beside her, and the two stood in silence for a while.
"I need to find Kamui." She said to herself, but Subaru heard it.
"Why do you need to see Kamui? I could arrange a meeting if I knew that you weren't going to kill him." Upon hearing this, the girl threw her head back and laughed. Subaru blinked for a moment, and then soon succumbed to laughter and the two were laughing for no apparent reason.
"I'm not going to kill him. I don't even think I can. But I need to meet him; I need to talk to him." She said.
"I could arrange a meeting, but would it be okay if I come too?" Subaru ventured, hoping she wasn't gonna kill anyone.
"Feel free to bring the Dragons of Heaven, they'll find out one way or another." She said.
"Um...what's your name?"
"My name is Panoru."
When Kamui learned that there was a strange girl looking for him, his first thoughts were something along the line of "WTCF?!?!?!?!?!", but after a minute of a near heart-attack, he agreed to meet with Panoru. Sorata, unable to think of anything better to do, followed. Sorata defended his reasons for going with an evil glare and threatening to shove the entire contents of a Taco Bell down Kamui & Subaru's throats.
They were supposed to meet Panoru at Tokyo Tower, around the spot where Kamui and Fuma were to battle. They stood there for a few minutes before she actually showed, jumping from behind them and landing softly without a sound. She seemed to glare at them with her ice-eyes before speaking.
"Kamui Shiro...that is you no doubt..." She said, voice as cold as her eyes.
"Who wants to know? Who are you and why did you wish to speak to me?" Kamui demanded.
"I am Panoru, sent from God to fight along-side of you."
There was a slight silence before Kamui started laughing.
"God sent you? What can you do? Does your power rival God's?"
Subaru and Sorata didn't see her coming until she had gone. Panoru rushed Kamui, grabbing him by his shirt collar and flying up to the top of the tower and holding him over the edge. Her eyes glowed evilly. Her mouth cracked a smile before she began to speak.
"You would like to see what I can do? Dropped from this height, the madness will overpower your thoughts as the only thing you'll feel is the sensation of falling, and then you'll feel nothing until you hit the observation deck. Would you like to see how that feels?"
Not giving Kamui time to answer, she half dropped and half threw him. Then, she jumped after him. Her body glowed, and that glow stretched out into a serpent-like shape. The light vanished and a white dragon (like Haku in Spirited Away...what? you've never seen him?! Well...go look for his dragon form!!! Or...just imagine her as the dragons in the manga) came chasing after him. It passed him, and Kamui felt his hand close around one of the horns behind its ears.
Panoru was a dragon...no...she was THE Dragon of Heaven...
She was the Dragon that surpassed God's power.
She landed softly on top of the observation deck and put Kamui down. Then, in a whirl of light and wind, she returned to her human form. She grinned in a way that resembled more of Sorata than of a girl who had just dropped Kamui and then turned into a dragon to save him. Panoru was a strange one, that she was.
"Kamui, I was sent to protect you, and that's what I intend to do."
