Slayer: Alright! One of my better stories if I do say so myself!

Shadow: Is it? Is it really?

Slayer: Shut it Shadow! No one needs your evil influence in this story!

Shadow: I'm Not evil!

Judan: Could've fooled me…

Shadow: Oh my Manus! Just get to the part that is relevant!

Judan: Fine… well first off we're back for the most part. And we have decided to celebrate by overhauling our stories a bit.

Slayer: And by that we mean change small details and fix grammar. This will provide a smoother story, as well as make it no longer as rushed as it once was.

Shadow: Yep because we have to admit some things did come out of the blue last time. Hopefully we can fix that this time around.

Slayer: Alright so lets begin. Christopher as the main character of this story do you mind opening us up?

Christopher: Alright it's been a while… we here at the dark guard productions don't own anything. Except for OC's and reality building concepts, everything else belongs to their respective owners. Now without further ado…

Everyone: Here's the story!

Prologue: The beginning

The Black Dragon

I sat in my darken room as I looked at a particular item on my desk. My room was a smallish room but it fit just fine with me. After all I was just one person, I had a bed, a dresser, and a closet. On the far side of my room was a T.V. and entertainment set. However these items were bought for me by my adopted parents. My desk was something I made myself personally. The item of most import on it though... that was made a long time ago with the help of others. Now while the desk itself was rather plain, and was painted mahogany brown.

The item I was referring to however was much more intriguing. It was a one foot square stone plate, with a circular design in the middle. Also coming from the circle were six lines that were spaced evenly. These lines were connected to a circle at the end. Each circle had a different symbol in it, one for earth, fire, water, forest, dark, and air. On these symbols were six colored dragons, a red on the fire, blue on water, green on forest, yellow on earth, black on dark, and white on the air.

However the yellow dragon was no more, seeing how it was now nothing but broken stone. This has been so since yesterday, and has greatly saddened me. Though not many knew it just by looking, the stone dragon figurines… are enchanted. The only way for one to break would be for its…

"Chris Nii! Wake up or you'll be late for school!" My thoughts were quickly interrupted by my younger sister's voice. Sighing I quickly answered her after all I didn't want to worry her.

"I'm already up! Tell Mom I'll be down in a second Mil-chan." I received a quick reply.

"Okay!" I knew she left to go downstairs as I heard her light footsteps leave my door. I sighed lightly seeing how I can't focus on my current problem today. Picking up my school bag, I quickly left my room. Only stopping briefly to look at the dragons on my desk. Once again feeling depressed I left to go have some breakfast.

Looking at the dining table cheered me up a bit. Because there sat my family, and despite me and my sister being adopted in… they treat us as though we were always there. Looking at my sister I had to just smile. When I was on my own, I had found her with no memory. She was lost cold and confused, and despite not really being in a better situation. I still did my best to look out for her.

I also gave her the name Milly; she is four years younger than me, with me being sixteen, and she being twelve. She also has blonde hair that was done with two pony tails, with a black bow on her head. While the back was completely straight, her eyes were green in color and she was four foot four.

I myself was about five feet seven inches. My own hair was neat and short, with only a few bangs reaching my eyes. I also wore black clear rimless glasses, over my red eyes. My skin is just a regular tan in color. I was currently dressed in the Kuoh academy male uniform. That consisted of a black blazer with white trimming, a white long sleeved dress shirt underneath, and black pants. It also used to have a ribbon, but instead of wearing that I wore a necklace. My necklace was a rounded black leather cord, with a pure black egg shaped gem. The part that connected the gem and the cord was a white gold connector.

I've had with me for as long as I could remember. So I wasn't about to just leave it anywhere by itself. It also had significance besides an emotional one. It helped signify who I was, and more specifically who I am. Once again I became depressed at those thoughts as I sat down at the table. My older brother noticed this and questioned it.

"Hey you okay man? You've been rather down since dinner last night." I turned my attention towards him. Issei my older brother, he had longer messy brown hair and brown eyes. He was a year older than me, and was also going to Kuoh academy. However unlike me, he was the biggest pervert of the entire school. However to those that truly knew him, they'd be able to see his kind and caring side. He was also one of the few people able to read me. The rest were my real brother, Milly, my mother, someone I considered an aunt, and my best friend.

Not wanting to worry him I gave a small smile. "Sorry but, you know my dragon figurines that I made." He nodded his head while taking a bite from some toast. "Well I don't know how but the yellow one shattered. It's nothing but pebbles now."

"I'm sorry to hear that dear, can you recreate it?" Looking over to my mother I shrugged. My adopted mother was kind and had brown hair and eyes. She was also rather young looking for her age.

"I could but that was rather special and a onetime thing. Recreating it just wouldn't be the same." Plus the one it was based off is dead. "So yeah I'll probably feel down about it for a while, but I'll get over it eventually." She nodded sadly at me.

"I understand… after all you said that it was made with the help of your blood brother and sister." I couldn't help it; I flinched at the mentioning of my real sister. Taking that as a sign, everyone decided to drop the topic. After all, it only made me feel worse. Excusing myself from the table, I went and put my dishes into the dishwasher. After which I went to the fridge, to get out the boxed lunches I made for everyone. There were originally six but seeing how there was five, I assumed my father grabbed his before he went to work. Walking back to the table I gave Issei's his as he grabbed his school bag. I then Gave Milly hers, and then one to my mother.

The last two were for me and my friend. I don't know why but she loves my food. Now while that was a contributing factor in me making her lunch. Another would be that she'd steal my lunch if I didn't. I may also love the way she smiles whenever she partakes of my food. Sighing I headed towards the door and waited for my brother to get his stuff done.

"Hey Issei hurry up! I'd rather not get into trouble for being late!" I heard grumbling and a few curses as Issei ran up to me.

"Sheesh can't you be a bit more patient? We're not going to be late I promise." I snorted at him before yelling back into the house.

"Alright we're leaving!" My mother's and sister's reply was quickly given.

""Have a great day!"" Shutting the door with a small smile, the two of us quickly headed off.

The black dragon the white cat

"You know I've asked you this before. But what exactly is your type when it comes to women. You just never seem to answer me, why's that?" My eye was twitching; now don't get me wrong I love my brother. It's just that he won't shut up about girls with large breasts! He was going on about his favorite type being, sexy and large in the right places. Truly there was only so much that I could take before I killed him. For while he was a pervert… I just respected women too much to talk about them in the way he did.

"Oh wait I know what your type is… they're loli's right? I mean that is the reason you UGH!" Having enough I punched him in the stomach, and continued walking while he was doubling over in pain. Upon reaching the school he finally caught up with me. He didn't say anything but it looked as though, he was trying to burn me alive with his glare. To irk him even more, all I did was send a polite smile his way. Now fuming he stormed off to go find his perverted friends. Now without him trying to corrupt me I walked alone.

Or at least for a bit. "Chris kun." Upon hearing the nickname only one person called me I smiled while turning around. It was my best friend and not so secret crush, Koneko Toujou. She was about four foot six and had short white hair with long bangs that framed her face. Her eyes were amber in color, and she wore the standard female uniform. The girl's uniform was almost like the guys except it also had some kind of shoulder cape, and it had a dark pink skirt with white trimmings. Also the blazer's top was cut off. However Koneko didn't wear the shoulder cape. Not that I blamed her it was rather unnecessary.

"It's good to see you Koneko chan. Have a nice weekend?" She nodded her head to answer me. She wasn't the most vocal person, but I wasn't exactly vocal myself. We were fine with that, and usually just read books, eat, and play different board games together. However at the moment she was looking at me strangely. "Is there something wrong?" She nodded and answered my question.

"You look sad about something." I smiled sadly at that while I motioned for us to continue walking.

"Can't fool you I guess, but yeah something did happen. The stone dragon my real, brother and sister helped me make shattered. It was the yellow one." And more than likely the black or red dragons are next to be smashed. I was surprised when I felt something warm, wrap around my hand. Looking down I saw that Koneko had gently grabbed my hand. Her pale skin felt rather soft and it was a nice gesture.

"Thanks I can always count on you to make me feel better." Looking at her I gave a true smile, one which she ended up returning. It was then that my feelings for her were reinforced. If anything I truly loved her smile, and so I tried my best to always get her to smile. Walking on I remembered something right outside the school building. "Ah yes, I almost forgot." Looking at me confused as I let her hand go. She watched as I rummaged through my bag a bit. But then I noted with a smile that her eyes lit up. Taking her boxed lunch out of my bad I handed it to her. "Here it is, delivered fresh and delicious as always."

She quickly snatched it from my hands and hugged it tight. If it was one thing I didn't understand about her, it would be her love of food. For such a small girl she can eat quite a lot. Not that I minded, a chief's greatest compliment is a cleared plate. However this time she did something unexpected, usually she'd just give me a quick hug. This time however she gave me a quick peck on the cheek. However it took us both a few seconds to realize this. As soon as we did her face turned crimson, I myself was turning a bit red as well. But before I could say anything she ran off, probably from the embarrassment of the action.

Sighing I rubbed the spot where I was kissed and chuckled. "Well it's a start I guess."

The black dragon the white cat

In class it was easy to see that she was still embarrassed. In fact it was unfortunate for her, that we shared the same classes. For each time she looked over at me she turned red. I must say it was a pretty bad distraction for her. Luckily for Koneko we were able to rectify the problem during lunch. Even though she was still embarrassed, we both still met at our usual spot on the roof.

"Listen Chris Kun about before, I wasn't really thinking and I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." She was even bowing her head in apology. I just sighed at this and gently rubbed her head. For some reason I've discovered that she actually enjoys it. But also swore to beat me up if I told anyone, or even did it around other people. Needless to say I agreed.

"No you don't have to be sorry; in fact I rather liked it." Now it was time for me to be red in the face. It also didn't help that she was looking at me for clarification. "Well I mean umm… It's sign that you really like my cooking right?" While on the outside I was smiling, I was actually beating myself up on the inside. It was a great chance to confess my feelings after all. Still my own embarrassment dispelled her own and she started giggling. So trying to keep it up I spoke in a sarcastic voice.

"Thanks' it's nice to know that my own embarrassment causes you such joy. And here I was trying to make you feel better to…" Instead of apologizing or anything of the sort, she just smirked at me. Deciding that I had cheered her up enough I spoke again, only this time without the sarcasm. "Alright fine, let's just get to eating. It's Monday so you know that the lunch it better than usual." Koneko grinned before sitting down followed by me.

Soon enough we were both full, and just waiting for the end of the lunch period. I decided that now would be a good enough time as any. My plan to ask Koneko on a date, and this time! Not chicken out of asking her. So looking at her while she was reading a book I took my chance.

"Hey Koneko chan are you doing anything this weekend?" She stopped reading her book to look at me.

"Not that I know of why?" Taking a deep breath I went for it.

"I was wondering if you'd like to hang out on Saturday. It's been awhile since we've hung out, outside of school." DANG IT! I chickened out again! This was about the third time in just as many days I've done this. So as the umpire says, three strikes you're out. Really that number didn't even count all the other times I've chickened out. I really was disappointed in myself for this.

Koneko thought for a moment before answering me. "Sure it'd be fun. Want to meet up at the mall around elven?" I quickly responded to her question.

"Yeah that'd be great!" I looked down at my watch before whistling. "Huh lunch is almost over, we need to get to class soon." Nodding her consent I helped her up to her feet, and we left to our classes. However in class I heard a voice start to speak to me.

[Thou art a coward. If it was I, she would've already heard mine declaration. The girl we have affection for needs to hear that we do. Else someone takes her from our grasp.] I stopped taking notes on what the teacher was saying, to talk to the voice in my head.

Listen Fernus I don't need advice on love, from an over five billion year old dragon. The voice I was talking to is the soul of an ancient black dragon. Also known as the black dragon god, also as a side note I named him since he never really had one before, and he's been with me all of my life.

[Hmph… truthfully we art one and the same. So I'm as old as thou art. Although I understand that our minds are quite far apart in years.] He was also literally the other half of my soul. Eventually we're supposed to "fuse" or something like that. But I just don't see that happening any time soon. Sighing outwardly I went back to my school work.

Eventually the final bell rang, and I said my goodbyes to Koneko. She had club duties, and I had to get dinner started. It was a tradeoff, my mother would make breakfast. Then I'd make lunch and dinner. On some occasions we'd switch around but that's how we did it mostly. Now when school ends I'd usually meet up with Issei at the front gates of the school. However today I'd hear something that would change my life.

"Would you go out with me?" I could only turn to the source of the voice and say one thing…

"Heh?"

Slayer: Alright another Redux chapter done! Not much changed though… but that which has makes the story flow better.
