Sacrifice to the Dragon

Chapter 1:

So the story begins…

A long time ago…There was the largest village in all realms, called the Seireitei. It was the center piece to the all of the other worlds, the small chip that kept everything into balance. Around the Seireitei, there are 9 main Kingdoms. The Fire, Ice, Storm, Light, Darkness, Death, Life, Crystal and Flower Kingdom surrounded the Seireitei. There were many other little realms that weren't connected to the Large Kingdoms, but they were still counted as one to it. The only big difference between the Seireitei and the Kingdoms were that they were controlled by large Ancient Dragons and their Sword Spirits. While it wasn't exactly rare to find dragons in the Seireitei, it surely was a sight. It was hardly that anyone saw any other Ancient Dragon than Byakuya Kuchiki, the Lord of the Flower Kingdom. He was the only Dragon of all known History to ally with Seireitei. Though he was still the ruler to his Kingdom he left in charge his three trusted beings-Senbonzakura, Tokuku YuniYuki, and her Sword Spirit Voritorna. Anyways, Byakuya had saw to it that his Queen, Hisana, had stayed in the Flower Kingdom where she was most protected; she was a human while he was a dragon. They have a child, Rukia Kuchiki, who was part Dragon and Human. She didn't look like a dragon-not at all, she looked like a human…besides that her eyes were fanged like a dragons and her canine teeth were far sharper than the ordinary humans'. And speaking of the said girl…

Rukia walked down the dusty streets of the Seireitei along with her good friend, Orihime-who was mindlessly ranting on some new strange food she had tried. She was currently wearing a short dark blue silk kimono that went less than half way of her thighs, a white sash went around her waist and a big bow tied in the back. A white chocker strapped around her neck and her hair was up in a messy bun, she truly wouldn't have worn something like that, but Orihime gave her the puppy dog eyes and suggested so. The orange/brown haired girl wore something similar besides it was a light shade of green. Rukia's Zanpakuto (Or known as the Sword Spirit) Sode no Shirayuki was at her hip, and if danger were to come by she would be able to protect both herself and Inoue-san; the taller woman was a healer, not a fighter. Rukia's eyes darted around, silence forsaking the narrow path they walked. Lush grass slowly merged into dirt and rubble as they made it to the place where the commotion was high during the last day of the year; it was a Sacrifice to the Ice Dragon. Originally, there was a sacrifice to all Ancient Dragons. The huge doors all used to stand up all together in a perfect circle with a very quiet, isolated area. But that is until all of the other Dragons, besides the Flower and Ice Dragons, had destroyed the doors that led entrance to their world for an unknown reason. And ever since that had happened, the Ice Dragon had become the closest realm to the Seireitei, therefore making them go through practically everything his realm did, which was many blizzards and cold weathers; something that most could not survive through. So the villages' men had thought of a very idiotic idea to annually hand out women the most powerful Dragon of all realms to 'please' him. The fact that they over looked the possibilities that he might have not been perverted like they thought tended to slip right over their heads and the very idea had seemed retarded right away. Such simple minded idiots…Rukia weaved her way around the gathering people, her shoulder every now and then bumping into others as Orihime had apologized to all of the people that received her 'cold treatment'. Forcing their way into the front of them all Rukia saw as three well dressed-kimono-wearing fat men gathered right beside the large golden door with two blue dragons with ruby eyes stood. An icy aura pulsed from the door stating that the ice dragon was very much alive. Rukia gulped as her eyes scanned for the next victim to the Ice Kingdom.

"I wonder who will be going this year…" Inoue murmured pity and sorrow threaded in her voice. Rukia rested a hand on her friend's shoulder and squeezed it softly. The black haired man spoke up first.

"It has come to the end of the year," He spoke loudly, causing the villagers to quiet down and listen more intently. Some people began to back away and leave, not wanting to ever have the possibility of being thrown in the Dragon's domain. Rukia stood where she was, closing her jaw together tightly. "The Sacrifice is needed from a brave woman to save our village from the Dragon's wrath," Silence became more eerie and tense as the man continued. His eyes laid on Rukia briefly, but quickly were averted from knowing who she was; the daughter of the Flower Lord, had she ever be thrown in there the village would suffer more than cold nights. No one volunteered.

"You! You will sacrifice yourself to the dragon!" He pointed his finger rudely to a small girl in the crowd, she look like she couldn't have been any older than 13, the woman by her froze as tears gathered in her eyes.

"No-no…! N-not my daughters please! She would never please the dragon, just let her be! Take me instead!" The man shook his head, and on command the two other advanced to the girl, who was in tears and creaming and kicking if her life depended on it-which it did. Rukia could see tears gathering in Orihime's big brown eyes; she had to shut it and bite her lips just to stop the waterworks. But Rukia too was near tears, but she had seen many more things to prepare her for such. A brown haired man took a long sword and stuck it into the key hole of the door, his chubby hands were about to turn it when an outburst sounded off.

"Do not take her!" It was Rukia, her voice strong and her eyes glazed, she could take no more of it. Many gasps and whispers began to start up. The fat man bowed down low.

"I'm so sorry Princess Kuchiki-sama, but I cannot do such, a sacrifice is needed and-"

"Take me then, I will be much more suited for a position than her," The man quickly got up. The two other men released their grip on the girls arm as she hurried to her mother, who thanked Rukia dearly and scurried off. The man shook his head.

"I apologize Kuchiki-hime-sama but I cannot fulfill that request! Lord Kuchiki would not be pleased with this-" He was cut off once more.

"I am very aware of my situation, but you seem not to know yours," He raised an eyebrow indicating her continuation. "I am a Princess, therefore holding a higher status and ranking than yours, I know very well of my Father and what he will do, but I refuse to watch this any longer." She took a step forward, and the man sighed in big defeat. Status was a bitch.

"Very well…Let the SACRIFICE CONTINUE!" He boomed. People were stunned; the little lady was giving herself up to such a big position. Orihime grabbed onto Rukia's wrist, tears leaking and streaming down her face. Rukia's widened eyes lowered softly.

"Orihime…"

"Rukia Please don't go!" The raven haired human shook her head. She knew Orihime would do this, but she could no longer do this, the sacrifice was very unfair, and she would do all in her power to end it.

"I must Orihime," The busty woman leaked more tears.

"No-I'll come with you!" A sad smile found its way onto her face, she didn't want to go wither, but she would never live down knowing that she could've stopped her friend from possible death. Rukia sighed knowing that Orihime would stop at nothing to come with her.

"Very well," The two men then finished turning the sword and the gate opened letting a huge billow of snow and such flow out. Rukia held tightly onto Orihime's hands as she led her into the icy realm. And this is where their journey begins…

The Fire Queen was very snobbish indeed, or she may have only showed. She looked like a freaking 12 year old even though she was 600 years old. She had chocolate colored skin and big gray eyes with shoulder length messy black hair. She wore a long sleeved kimono that was and dark orange/brown that clung tightly to her body and hung loosely at the ends near her hands, it had red Chinese Dragons coiling on the sleeves and one on the bottom corner. A bright orange bow was on the back of it. A large golden staff was in her hand, on the top of it ring around and a glowing ruby hovered in it; the Fire Gem, if it were to be taken, her kingdom would fall to bits, the same for every other Kingdom. She looked around sideways into the mirror and stuck her chest out-nothing. She was never growing any breasts…She called upon her best friend Hinamori Momo into her room along with her Sword Spirit Zibarraru. Zibarraru could either choose to be in a more humane form or a Dragon form or just a plain small red snake; it turned out he chose dragon from. He was long and red with yellow flamed spikes going down his back and tail where an alit fire burned wildly. Black symbols littered his body mostly being strips and loops. He happened to be one of the lucky dragons that had arms and legs and wings. He had fangs like a snake also, and was actually more of a snake/dragon than a dragon itself.

"Yes My Lady?" They said in unison while kneeling. She smiled softly.

"Please do assist me on a walk, we have matters to discuss," She muttered. They all had gotten up and leapt on Zibarraru's back where he flew the group outside, and when he landed he became a small snake so he could wrap himself and nuzzle himself into his wielders hair. The Fire Kingdom was truly strange, it wasn't nearly as weird as the Darkness Kingdom or the Death Kingdom-those were down right creepy-but it had peaked fascination for lots of dragons and humans. The sky was an off shade of red/orange with a few white orange dapple clouds scattered around. All paths-The Fire Kingdom was also known for the many paths they had-were black molten rock with visible cracks in it that showed bubbling hot magma. The Fire Kingdom had many ignited sakura trees everywhere. The trunks were black, and the flowers were much darker and fell burning petal by burning petal. A hot breeze carried many petals in it.

"As I can sense, the Ice Kingdom has a new guests in," The black haired Queen murmured while closing her eyes and folding her hands neatly in front of her. Hinamori nodded.

"Yes Queen, do you need any information on them?" She asked politely. The Fire Queen gave an easy going smile to her as a small flaming petal flew past by. She caught it in her hands and fiddled with it until it reduced to ashes.

"Ah-yes, information is very helpful…" She felt Zibarraru snuggle deeper into her hair. They soon made it to a huge golden gate. Two onyx gargoyles stood till, but all people of the Fire Kingdom knew they were very alive. Their ruby eyes wandered to them and at the sight of their Queen's glare they opened the large doors. There were two larger doors that led to the next realms in front of hers and behind hers. Behind her Kingdom was the Ice Kingdom and in front of her was the Storm Kingdom, which was ruled by Hsariku Janee Shai and her Zanpakuto Ukito Kiro, and her second in command Hisagi, how she pitied that boy, Hsariku always tended to give him nosebleeds by continuously calling him to her while she's getting out of the shower.

"Mm, Orihime Inoue, human/immortal, she is an advanced healer and isn't exactly the smartest out there and then there is Kuchiki Rukia," Tombi stiffened.

"Eeh…? Kuchiki Rukia as in the daughter of the Flower King? He let her be thrown to the Ice Kingdom? Even I find that hard to believe!" She exclaimed. Zibarraru swirled around the dark skinned girl's neck, enjoying being this close to her a bit too much…Momo nodded.

"Yes, she is Dragon/Human and has some powers of a dragon, her Sword spirit is ice type-"

"Now-now Momo! I don't want to be a stalker!" She scolded. Momo hung her head bashfully.

"I apologize Queen Tombi!"

"It's okay, come on, word must be spread to the other realms! Lord Hitsugaya and his second in command Matsumoto Rangiku have the Kuchiki heiress and the healer ditz!"

The first thing Rukia expected when being thrown in the icy realm was a huge wave of bitterness, not being clamped between breasts by a strange woman in a light blue kimono that barely kept those things in. The woman was pretty and seemed much too welcoming for Rukia's like, but Orihime didn't mind at all as the two seemed to get along quite well in the few minutes that Rukia was there. The blonde's attention snapped back.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself! I am Rangiku Matsumoto, second in command for my irritable Lord named Toshiro Hitsugaya! He doesn't enjoy it when we call him Toshiro-I think he hates his first-But you didn't hear that from me!" She let out a sheepish grin, scratching the back of her head before grabbing the both of them in her arms and flying away with wings Rukia hadn't noticed until then. Orihime was shivering the whole way there; she hadn't enjoyed the feeling of ice whipping across her face nearly as much as Rukia did, and Matsumoto seemed to be used to it-well this is where she lives she must be used to it-and didn't mind much. Though the icy winds were quite distracting Rukia did not miss the off look the busty strawberry blonde keep giving her. She decided to look on that situation later. Looking below her he could only stare in awe at the place. Frozen ponds glistened in the pure light by the two suns. Snow kissed evergreens were barely seen in the white Wonderland and the raven haired girl had spotted countless amounts of bare trees made entirely out of ice. The group drew closer to the large white castle. In one big flap of her wings, Matsumoto made a clear landing, the few stray snow on the frozen ground billowing away.

"Wow…" Orihime gasped. In Orihime's mind, she had expected the place to be dark and bitter, the smell of death in the air and dead female bodies littered around the hungry lustful Ice Dragon-in other words; this was not at all what she was expecting to see. The Large white castle had many peaks and windows from she could see, the highest part being one of the largest and it was wrapped around on a cone-like roof. The castle reached high into the sky. The humongous double doors were very much like the one they entered in besides it was by far bigger and it was silver instead of gold. Two life sized dragons almost seemed to dance on the door, ruby eyes glinting every so on. As you can guess, the doors were secured by two large Ice Wyverns with blue staffs in their hands.

"Who dare demand entrance in Lord Hitsugaya's Domain?" The first one boomed making the women's hair blow back from the force. Matsumoto broke into laughter.

"Mou-Yashiroi! It's Matsumoto Rangiku-second in command under Lord Hitsugaya!" She shouted so the Wyvern's could hear her from so far below. Yashiroi's eyes widened.

"I apologize Matsumoto! I believe these are the Sacrificed Ones this year," He asked gruffly. Rangiku nodded, wavy locks swaying in the process. He nodded at his almost identical twin and the shoved the ice staff into the key holes and turned it clockwise earning a snap from them as they opened slowly. Matsumoto grinned and ushered the two stunned people into the large doors.

The first thing you think when you see a large fire phoenix heading towards your castle is #1 ambush and #2 something juicy is happening in that boring ice domain. Lady Hsariku stared out from her large window that showed view over her wonderful stormy land. Big masses of lakes and ponds dotted in her world, the skies were cloudy, rain, hail or sleet always hammered down from the dark clouds. There was never a day that she hadn't seen it raining or lightening ever since her Lord/Husband had died. Though he was irreplaceable, she found much of her heart recovering from spending time with Hisagi-kun. Such a good friends he is…Speaking of Hisagi, the said man was in her bedroom along with her having a debate over which element was best. The Lord was dark skinned and had pale azure/purple eyes with a beauty mark above her right eyelid and one on her left cheek. She had long white knee-length hair and almost always had a scowl on her face and had slightly fanged teeth. She was wearing a silk strapless laced corset with black in the middle and light purple on the other sides. A short black skirt was hugging her hips and laced black panty hose were on her legs. She already had on a black choker and high heels. Ah, Hisagi was trying his best to be more into his conversation with her Zanpakuto-who looked almost exactly like her besides, was more of a Werewolf-so he wouldn't have to get a nosebleed from staring at his Lord. The fire phoenix landed on her open window with a white-kind-of-torched letter in its beak with Tombi's signature. She quickly took the note and sent the animal on its way scurrying over to the small wooden table where she took a seat. Her Zanpakuto stopped arguing with the black haired male and looked over to her wielder.

"Sore wa arashi no kami to wa nanidesu (What is it Storm Lord)?" Her Zanpakuto said. Ukito Kiro spoke no English so she would have to carry out her conversation in Japanese.

"Sore wa akiraka ni sa rete imasen? Hana-nushi no musume wa aisu ōkoku no omo ni gisei ni sa reta Hitsugaya! (Is it not obvious? The Flower Lord's daughter was sacrificed to Lord Hitsugaya of the Ice Kingdom!)" Hisagi had leaped out of his seat.

"Watashi wa aisu-nushi ni dōjō, hana no aruji wa hijō ni hogo o koete imasu (I pity the Ice Lord, the Flower Lord is very over protective)!" He exclaimed throwing his hands in the air. Hsariku chuckled.

"Raito ōkoku ni arashi no urufu o sōshin, kore wa amarini mo yoidesu (Send out a Storm Wolf to the Light Kingdom, this is far too good)!" Ukito Kiro and Hisagi scurried out of her room. She could not wait to see the reaction of Byakuya when he heard that his daughter was handed out in Scarifice.

A/N: First CH., I know it was short but it's just to start it off. =3! Yes, Dragons Lords can take on a more Humane shape. And no, Hsariku does not have feelings for Hisagi like that, that would make me turn agianst my words. They're just good friends. And this is an HitsuRuki, not a HitsuHime or HitsuMatsu or a MatsuHime or stuff like that.
