Hi Everyone. I'm back again, and this time with a new story! YEY!

Okay, on a more serious note, this fic is an experiment in observing how my OC interacts with her fellow dragons. Each chapter will focus on one of the four dragons, and what Elie learns about her new comrades.

I hope you all enjoy it, and please feel free to leave a review. After all, I love to hear feedback on my fanfics.

Elie watched the scene before her unfold in mild bewilderment and amusement. Her eyes blinked slowly in disbelief. Elie couldn't believe someone as fierce and ruthless on the battlefield as the Hakuryuu would be undone as something as small and insignificant as an insect.

Yet here she was observing said dragon tremble in fear while rooted to the spot. Kija's gaze never leaft the insect that continued to crawl towards him totally unaware of the giant beings around it nor its affect on a certain one.

Elie felt a twinge of guilt fill her. She had been the first to notice the small insect appear next to Kija as they all gathered around the fire in which Yun had cooked their meal. Elie was just about to warn the Hakuryuu when Jae-Ha silently took her arm to alert the pinkette to his presence shaking his head at her. The Ryokuryuu's body language clearly stated to Elie not to alert the Hakuryuu. Now Elie understood why Jae-Ha had done so. So before she moved to help Kija with his formidable foe, Elie glared judgmentally at Jae-Ha. Sadly, her action only received a careless shrug and smug grin from the Ryokuryuu.

"Kija, it's just a bug," called Elie gently to the Hakuryuu hoping to calm him. "It isn't going to hurt you. That insect probably has no idea you're even there."

"Probably!" Kija shrieked. It was the first word any of them had heard him speak since he'd noticed the insect.

Okay. Not the reaction Elie was hoping for. She let out an exasperated sigh as she slowly inched her way towards the bug. Apparently, the only way to snap Kija out of his state of terror was to remove the tiny culprit.

"Alright. See Kija," explained Elie as she picked up a nearby stick and poked the insect moving it away from the Hakuryuu. "All gone."

Unfortunately for Elie what she didn't realize was that this particular insect had the ability to fly. As soon as Elie finished her sentence the insect returned only to assault the person who'd made it leave. It flew around the pinkette, and Elie's eyes went wide as saucers as she let out a high pitched scream. The young girl then began running around the camp site her arms flailing around trying to ward off her attacker who seemed bent on revenge. Elie could hear the chorus of laughter behind her.

""What happened to 'it's only a bug it can't harm you' El?" Jae-Ha teased when his laughter had subsided enough for him to speak. He clutched his sides and his body was visibly shaking from laughter.

"SHUT UP!" Elie yelled while she still ran away from the tiny assailant. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson. "Everyone knows flying insects are ten times scarier than normal insects."

This caused everyone's laughter to echo even louder. Even Kija couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter at her antics.

"You too Kija?"

"Sorry El," apologized Kija through his laughter. "Forgive me. I couldn't help it."

"Come on guys," begged Elie. "It's not funny. Help me out already. Please!"

Everyone continued laughing as they watched Elie run away. Eventually Hak calmed down and helped get rid of the insect. Once realizing the thing was gone, Elie collapsed, in the dirt exhausted. And that was how the Dark Dragon and the Happy Hungry Bunch learned their newest member was also afraid of insects.

Okay, first dragon down only three left!

This one ended up being much more comedic then I imagined. Oh well, that's how the cookie crumbles.

Also, I REALLY hate insects, and always felt a kinship with Kija over his phobia of them. Even crustaceans freak him out too.

As always, did you like it? Hate it? Leave a review telling me your thought!
