Claimer: I am the maker of my OC, Akamine Akane. Please do not take my character.
Brief Chara Description: Akamine Akane is a dragon in a human disguise or form. She has long black hair with scarlet tips and pitch black irises. She is 15 years old as a human and 7 ½ as a dragon. Her height is 168cm and her birthday is on December 31st.
Enjoy!
-Flashback—
"Akane, my dear daughter, come closer." My mother's booming voice was rather soft and gentle compared my relatives. She was a beauty. Her colour was deep, deep blue, and her eyes were like the sky on a clear and sunny day. Her wings were like the waves of the sea at midnight and her limbs and body were flawless. "I have to tell you something."
"Yes mother?" I drew forward. My mother's colour was so beautiful, so was my fathers, with a brilliant and fiery red that complimented my mother, so what happened to me? Why was I red, and black? My red, honestly was quite nice, but the main black colour made me feared and my eyes were black with red irises. This made me grow up to be powerful, strong, and a bit sadistic, though I wanted to be like a normal dragon my age. A normal one… And why am I black, but only have the colour red in both my surname and given name? The surname I understand since my father is red, why give me such a name, when that is not my main colour? Nonetheless, I still appreciated it.
"You have to leave here for a while. This realm of madness." My mother's soothing voice was trembling a little, as if she were about to break down and cry. "You have to go to the human world and stay there, until this place is safe for you to come back."
My eyes widened and I stepped back in shock. "B-but, mother, I know that there is war going on and I am still too young to fight with the adults and elders, but surely I don't have to leave my home?! And won't the humans fear me? For I am a Dark Dragon that has only existed in their myths and legends!"
"Fear not, my beloved daughter. You will have a human form. Humans are twice the age of us, so over there you will be 12. You must only come back when I tell you. There is no telling whether that will be days, months, or years, but I promise you, you will come back one day and we will live in peace and harmony." Her voice was still shaking as I bowed my head.
"If it is your wish, mother, I will go." I crept closer to the portal and looked down at the miniature human beings, strange animals and strange things that they call 'buildings' and 'houses'.
"Be sure to make some friends there, okay?" She had a pained expression and was beside me, deciding where I should arrive in their world. "But do not trust anyone suspicious. If they find out about you being a dragon, dispose of them, unless you can trust them with your life. Do not hesitate to seal their lips shut with a chant. Do not hesitate to kill them if they are trying to kill you. Do you understand?"
"Yes, mother."
"My dear daughter, I love you, please wait for me okay?" She gently placed her hand on my forehead and I felt my world going black.
"I love you too. I will wait forever. Even if I die and this body is gone, I will always wait for you."
-Arrived in the human world—
"Geh… Just where am I…." I woke up and found myself on a busy 'street'. I had studied the world of humans for quite a long time, so I tried to make the most of my knowledge.
I saw two men squatting beside me dressed in some kind of uniform. I assumed that they were the 'police'.
"What's wrong, little one? How did you end up here?" One of them asked with a kind face.
"Where am I?" I questioned immediately after I sat up.
"Japan of course!"
"Oh I see…"
"Where is your home? We'll drop you off."
"Home? That's long gone for now…" I was still a bit dozy from the travelling through worlds.
"?"
"Ah- I mean, uh…" I finally came to my senses and tried to get away as soon as possible. I didn't want to meddle with these humans.
"Excuse me, she's with me." A tall figure with violet hair appeared and shooed the police away quickly. He was holding a big flexible kind of bag with other colourful packets in it and eating some kind of stick.
"Are you okay? Do you want some candy?" He had a lazy expression on his face and held out a small packet that was pink in colour.
"Who are you?" I stared suspiciously. Purple was not a natural human hair colour was it?
"Murasakibara Atsushi. Are you okay? Where did you come from?"
"My name is Akamine Akane. I'm fine, but I need a place to stay for a period of time that I am unsure of." I remained a little bit precautious in case he tried to do anything.
"Ah okay, then my family can take care of you."
I was amazed by his kindness, and he seemed to be the same age as me, but a bit older. Maybe 13? And wow he was rather tall…
I followed behind him back to his territory as the sun started to set, painting the sky an elegant scarlet, reminding me of my father. My father was killed back in my world by a cruel dragon by the name of Twilight. I promised to avenge him, but how can I do that in this situation? No place to spread my wings, no place to train, no place to go into my original dragon form.
Speaking of my dragon form…
"Murasakibara-san, do you have mirror?" I had not taken a look at my human form yet, how stupid of me.
"Eh? No, but you can look once we get home." 'Home'… It sounded so warm when he said it with a little smile. How I missed my warm cave…
When we reached his house, I was astounded by how much wealthier it looked compared to the other ones around it. It truly stood out.
"Okaa-chin, Otou-chin, tadaima." (Tadaima means 'I'm back') He called as we entered the house.
"Ah, Atsushi! Okaeri!" (Okaeri means 'welcome back') She took a glance at me. "And who is this young lady?"
"I found her in the city. She doesn't have a home. Can we keep her?" I was a little bit irked by how he said this. It made me sound like a pet.
"Ah, you'll have to ask your Onee-chan, and I doubt that your brothers will refuse to have a girl in the house." She took another glance at me. "Have we met before?"
"I don't think so." I bowed politely and introduced myself. "My name is Akamine Akane. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me from now on."
"Eh? Akamine?" She looked like she knew the name and quickly dragged me to another room, giving a little motion to Murasakibara-san to wait.
Once we were in the room she spoke seriously. "Are you the daughter of Akamine Kasai?"
I gasped and stepped back. "H-h-how…?"
"I thought so…" She had a relieved expression and suddenly hugged me tightly. I had no idea whatsoever what was going on. "I'll take care of you. Definitely."
"Just who are you?" I was doubtful about her.
"His niece's best friend. We got along very well."
"Are you human or?"
"Yes, I'm human. I just happened to meet your cousin when she came here."
I stayed silent for a moment and looked deep into her eyes and soul. It was one of my special powers as the daughter of the queen. Ah, I forgot to mention that my mother was the queen. Forgive me for that. She was not lying. I decided to put my trust in her, but I was still wary.
"Oh yes, may I use a mirror?" I remembered.
"? Okay." She brought me in front of a tall mirror that let me see every inch of my new human body.
I was quite astonished at what I looked like. My hair was a straight black that ran down to my waist and had scarlet ends. I had a 'side-fringe' (as I studied) and irises so black that you couldn't see my pupils. My human body was slender, but strong and I wore a plain blue dress that seemed to match no matter how much the colour of my hair clashed with it. Blue… My mother's beautiful blue. Tears started to form but I quickly brushed them away before they could fall down my pale cheeks.
We went back out and I saw a tall female figure and 3 tall males standing with Murasakibara-san. I assumed that they were his siblings, as they all had the same hair colour.
"Ara? Is this the girl you brought home?" The female said and inspected me thoroughly, looking me up and down. I did not dare to flinch at all, refusing to show any weakness here. "How old are you?" She asked.
"Si- Twelve."
She eyed me once more and said, "Okay I'll take her. What about you three?" She looked at the males.
"Looks good." Said one with glasses.
"Yep." Said the other without looking up from his square thing that I believe to be a 'phone'.
"Can I keep her~?" The last one said with a face similar to Murasakibara-san's lazy face.
"Okay it's decided. We'll take her in! Not like I wasn't going to anyway." The mother said with a gentle smile. "Don't worry about Otou-san, he'll cope."
And just like that, I was taken into a kind and loving family. But it wasn't as happy as I thought it'd be in the human realm until the 'school term' came…
'I just have to deal with it I guess…' I thought and started my new life here in the world.
-Flashback End- -Present day—
I was 7 and a half now. 15 human years old, and I was currently a pupil at Teiko High School. I was brought up a year because of my knowledge and study in the same year level as Mura-kun.
But even though I started to have more fun and became like a normal human, I still needed to train my dragon skills somehow, so when Mura-kun's mother always came to pick Mura-kun and I up, she would drop him home and bring me to one of the unused gymnasiums that had enough space for me to just fly a tiny bit, but only with my wings out, and not in my whole dragon form (or that would've destroyed the gymnasium and the other one next to it too.
My skills were becoming blunt, and I had to train for many hours before I would be satisfied with my progress.
I had fun, both training and learning at Teiko. I had made friends with the so-called Generation of Miracles in the basketball team, since I dropped by to bring Mura-kun to practice (which he often didn't want to attend) often.
Aomine-san was a noisy and complaining man who had tanned skin and dark blue hair and often skipped out on practice. Midorima-san was an intelligent man with green hair and always had strange items that he called 'lucky items'. Kise-san was blond and was extremely clingy and noisy. He particularly liked a short boy called Kuroko-kun, who had a lack of presence and light blue hair.
Akashi-san was someone that I didn't get to talk to that often, but I knew that he had a lot of dignity, pride, and was an extremely good leader, and for some reason, I couldn't ever take my eyes off him as he walked around, giving orders and training. It was strange to me, how he was such an excellent player yet he still trained harder than most of the members. I found it rather interesting.
But my new story with him began on that cold winter's day, and this is where my story really begins to me.
-The cold winter's day—
'Flap harder!' I told myself as I darted back and forth in the air from one side of the gymnasium to the other. 'Harder! I must be able to impress mother when me meet again, or all this time will be wasted and I won't be able to avenge my father either!'
From the corner of my eye, I could see where Mura-kun's mother would be gazing at the blurry me with awe. She would always bring a book and try to sketch out my wings, since they were the only thing that I could bring out, other than my claws, fangs and ears, but she wasn't here this time, for she had important errands to attend to. My wings were pitch black and the red that dusted the tips were a mix of blood-red and scarlet. The tips of my wings were extremely sharp, a rarity in the dragon realm, and I was proud to have been born with them.
I was in the middle of landing before I saw a figure enter the gymnasium and I froze in horror.
My wings were still fully out, my claws were unsheathed on my fingertips, my hands and bare feet were covered in pitch black scales, and my eyes were pure black with red irises and my pupils were slits of darkness.
"What…" I was still frozen, standing there, fear spreading across my face as the figure walked closer, revealing its face and hair colour.
There was no mistaking who the person was.
Akashi Seijuro.
-Small break—
He paced slowly towards me, and I stepped back, but in no time I was up against the wall and he was standing in front of me.
Instinctively, my claws grew longer and the scales began to cover more of my skin.
"May I ask, what are you doing in this realm?" His expression was a bit suspicious, or rather, curious.
I said nothing, but my claws grew even longer until they were a good sharp 20cm. 'Do not hesitate to seal their lips shut with a chant'. My mother's words echoed within my mind and began to open my mouth to chant but a scaly hand clamped over my mouth before any words could slip off my tongue and my eyes widened.
"You shouldn't try to place a spell on your own kind, Akane." His scales were a fiery red and the tips of each scale were a beautiful yellow like his eye.
"Just who are you?"
"Hmm? I am none other than Akashi Seijuro." The corners of his mouth tilted upwards ever so slightly. "Why are you training in such a vulnerable place like this, princess?"
I flinched and batted his hand away, trying to throw away all the fear and shock as I said with a clear and unshaking voice, "I cannot be in my full form, or else I will be found out by humans. Why else would I train here?"
"Why would you train in the first place, if you are a princess?"
"Me being a daughter of the royal family has nothing to do with what I am training for!" I refused not to have any dignity in my position right now.
"Heh~?" His voice was also curious now. "And may I know the reason for you to be such a hardworking princess?"
"To avenge my father." My answer was short and snappy as I walked past him. "I will not hesitate to kill you if you spread word about me being here."
"Hmm? But your mother would be very displeased if she were to find out that you killed your own fiancé wouldn't she?" He had that knowing look on his face as he came closer. "Are you trying to defy me, Akane?"
"Fiancé?! Ju-" I was cut short as placed a little seal on my forehead and all my scales, claws and wings disappeared, leaving me with my plain human body.
"No matter how strong you are right now, being a rare black dragon, I am still more powerful, given that I have undergone intense training from my strict father ever since I was but a child. You can never defeat me, my princess." He brought my shaking body close and held my cheek with a cold hand.
My knees suddenly felt very weak and I dropped to the ground, Akashi-san catching my head and lifting me. 'Is this because of the seal?' I managed to slap him quite hard before becoming insanely weak and unable to move.
"I will get you… One day… Wait… for me…" I could see his smile and his red cheek and felt a pair of lips brush mine before I completely blacked out.
