Synchronicity: Of love and Luxuria
Being new here it took me a lot of courage to even sign up in a place like this, and even more to begin writing a story which might and probably will contain some quite graphical yuri eventually. Luxuria also means lust. Some of the characters names have been altered slightly, mostly temporarely. And while the first chapter includes Mikuo, Miku is the main focus of the story. This is not MikuoxRin (despite the first chapter hinting to it) It's MikuxRin, reaching that part will take some time though!
This story is (In some places more loosely than others) based on the currently incomplete Synchronicity trilogy by Kumagai, Hitoshizuku and Suzunosuke, but I tried to mix in things that the story did not cover. As well as adding some things that have been left up to our own guesses in what's out thus far. It will currently be rated T for death and other sad themes but this will go up later when the.. more in-depth romance bits get added. This is not just a re-write of the original story which I did not read.
I also plan to put direct or indirect references to Mothy's story of evil. That said, the first story is actually set quite a number of years before Synchronicity. And Rin won't appear here yet... Or, will she?
Prologue: Innocent as a human
"H.. Hey! Stupid! Idiot!"
While the words would have sounded rude, the soft, cute voice which exclaimed them did not convey any anger or unfriendliness at all. The "insult" was followed by sweet giggles mixed with a much rougher chuckle coming from a different source.
"If you're going to keep flying like this I'm gonna fall off, you big dope!"
The little blonde girl tightened the grip on the enormous scaled creature she was seated on, a broad smile on her face as they soared through one cloud after another. Her clothes were completely drenched from flying through the fluffy whites of condensed water over and over but she did not appear to care at all.
Her small hands were clenched into tight fists as she held on to the large drake's teal blue manes. The dragon himself did not seem to mind this in the least, enjoying the company of his "passenger" greatly. It was with his little girl, this human child that he felt at peace. Despite her size, she had not once been scared of his kind, no.. Quite the opposite really..
Every day she would come to his den armed with a bow and arrows and help him hunt for food for himself and his baby sister. She'd also provide him with whatever other useful stuff she could smuggle out of the village.
Not a lot of villagers knew of the girl's daily activities but the ones that did were quick to brand her as a witch for consorting with his kind. The only reason the people did not hunt her down yet is because most people in her home town loved her too much to believe the rumours that were spread.
"This is AMAZIIIING!"
She sang happily as she arced her back to be able to get a better look at the beautiful, dreamily blue horizon, she was certain no human being had ever been granted such a wonderful sight as she had, being as scared of dragons as they were, not many would be able to ride one. Besides, he and her sister were the only two dragons known to be left alive in this era.
"I'm glad you like it, I wanted to do something in return for all you did for us."
The dragon stated in his low but warm voice as he scanned the ground below them, before beginning his slow descend towards the earth again.
Passing through another small cloud which the girl on his back had not seen yet, the cold damp catching her by surprise and causing her to let out a small, adorable squeak, something which made the towering creature laugh heartily. It was a low rumbling sound, but pleasant and friendly nonetheless.
"I apologize for the way the people that saw you with us the other day responded. We hope that we don't get in the way of Lynne-chan's happiness."
The response was a light laugh and the bop of a tiny fist on the back of the dragon's head, or as close as she could reach from her position on his back.
"Idiot! I am happy when I am with Mikuo-san and Miku-chan." She told as she braced herself for the landing.
As soon as the dragon touched the ground she got ready to slide off his back, only to lose her balance as the creature's body began to twist and shift. It happened so fast, bones moved, shrank and skin twitched to shape around the reformed bone structure, no matter how many times she'd seen it, it still looked as painful, despite having been told that you could not really feel the transformation.
Within a few seconds the dragon was gone. And in it's place stood a tall, lean, and rather handsome aquamarine haired man that was now holding the petite blonde in his arms, bridal style. This made the small girl blush in realization as she pushed against the boy's chest, struggled a bit and hit his head with her small fists till he was forced to let go of her.
"No matter how many times I see it, I can't get used to it. A large fluffy, scaly cuddle-beast at one point, but the next you're a perverted man like all the others!" She joked, sticking out her tongue at Mikuo before turning around into the direction she knew the two dragons had their den.
The man grinning widely as he stroked the bump that formed on back of his head, he got told off again, she was small but hit so hard, and he did not even do anything this time!
Regardless, this was one thing he liked about her, she was lively and positive. The living proof that there were nice people left in the world, and girls that valued the purity of their hearts and their body still.
"How rude, and to think I was planning to make you my mate." He said as he walked after her, she had already reached the entrance of the cavern that the two, and occasionally, her, had made their home over the last few weeks since they met.
The girl flashed him a warm smile and a knowing wink. She knew all about Mikuo's plans, and eventually she would probably accept his request. She pushed at the shrubs and vines which hid the opening of the cave from the outside and slipped through them with ease, into the place that had been a second home to her for. . . A month? Two? Maybe more. . .
By the time Mikuo had entered the cave as well, the girl was already laying cuddled up against the other inhabitant of their home. Another dragon which looked like a miniature version of Mikuo in his dragon form. Well, Miniature. . . She was still about six feet head to tail if she were to stretch, but that was very small for a dragon. Then again she only was a year and a half old.
The girl's hand was currently running a slow, lazy path over the young dragon girl's back, her nimble fingers ruffling her long cerulean manes, the same colour as Mikuo's, idly as her other hand patted her cute sleeping face.
"She looks so adorable when she sleeps, it's hard to believe she'll become as huge as you. . ." Lynne stated. "I wonder what her human form would look like when she learns to shift."
She looked from Miku, to her brother, and around their home. The cave they lived in was quite large, it could easily fit four dragons the size of Mikuo's dragon form next to each other. The walls were made out of smooth rock, clearly formed by a flowing water which once ran over them. The floor plain brown dirt, covered in a soft moss that made for a quite comfy surface. A pile of smouldering wood was stacked next to the pair which showed that Lynne had recently made a bonfire to warm the cavern.
As Lynne caressed the little dragon girl, her eyes were filled with adoration, large, sparkling. . . Innocent. . .Those blue orbs were the portal to a soul so pure that no million of reincarnations could ever tarnish it. And that was what had attracted the dragon to her.
They were of completely different species but already she treated him and his sister better than even most of his own kind had ever done before the dragon hunts, which cost the life of thousands. . . No, millions of humans. . . And left him and his sister as the sole survivors of the draconic race.
Yet this girl.. She was untouched by all this hatred. Free of prejudices, and probably the last chance to bring the dragon race back to this world.
"I think I would love to.." She suddenly spoke. Her eyes still on the small dragon girl she was caressing, a soft rumbling, much like a kitten's purring had began to rise from the little dragoness making her smile grow.
"The three of us, You... Me.. and Miku-chan.. forever.. I like that idea." She said with a warm smile which caused the dragon's heart to flutter and beat all the way in his throat. She said yes?
His happiness was short lived though, as he was so absorbed in his dreams of the bright future that lay ahead of them that he did not notice the sound and scent that fouled the air..
An intruder in their den, the clicking of an arrow being notched onto an oakwood crossbow as the intruder took aim at the small dragon, intending to at least get rid of one more of that "overgrown vermin" The bolt was released and would have pierced the sleeping dragon girl's heart if not. . .
The loud, high-pitched, agonized cry of the human girl woke Mikuo from his musings, on the last moment she had taken note of the intruder and jumped in front of the sleeping drake. The large bolt jutting all the way through the girl's gut. She had shielded Miku. With her own body.
"LYNNE!" He shouted as he ran at her, his heart pounding as he grabbed the girl who was breathing weakly.
"Please... Stop." She begged the man that was already reaching for the second bolt in his quiver. Fully intending to finish the little monstrosity she was guarding in the next shot.
"Whatye be sayin' witch? Ye be protectin' de last livin' dragon, feedin' her an' ya think I'd let any of ye three live? Ah'll keel her an' take 'er head as a trophy, an' be de hero o' town! No traitorous wench like ya, is gonna stop me.." His rough voice rumbled.
He had not noticed Mikuo's eyes lighting up, or his body beginning to twitch as his transformation began to set in. How dare this trash harm his intended mate.. And threaten his sister?
"Ye' got de other villagers under yer spell pretty good missy, they all love ye'. . . No one suspects one as 'pure' as ye.. Well Ah know betta'!" He took aim but was startled when suddenly Mikuo's body gave a jerk.
As he turned towards the male his shape was twisted into a grotesque mass of flesh and scales, soon to leave behind his no longer human form, that of an adult dragon. The man trembled in fear and dropped his crossbow bolt to the ground in shock, his eyes wide as he gave a scream.
"Ye.. YE GIDDAMN MONSTER!" He yelled as he tried to turn and run. Spraining his ankle in the process and falling to the ground, he covered his head with his hands as the dragon lunged for him, his huge jaws filled with rows of razor sharp teeth wide open, he was going to die!
"DON'T!" Came Lynne's anguished voice, that beautiful, angelic voice that sang him and his sister the lullabies that always soothed them and made them forget that pain of losing their family.. Now strained with pain. The scent of death was all over her.
"WHY?" He answered harsher than he'd intended as his large head turned towards the injured girl.
"He tried to kill you, to kill Miku, why can't I give this man the pain and death he deserves?!" He asked before looking back at his shaking prey. He was trembling, and judging from the stink and the dark patch in the front of his trousers he had wet himself.
"Pathetic.." He sneered.
"No! If.. If you kill him... You'll... Be just as bad as him!" She said, trying to catch her breath.
Mikuo paused at this and eyed the man with distaste. Before snorting, a puff of smoke waving over the quivering human. "You heard her, wretch, be grateful, I'd not have spared your life if not for her, now run if you value it!... While I can resist the urge to turn you into charcoal."
The man nodded, tears in his eyes as he picked himself up and bolted through the vine covers to freedom. A few more seconds did Mikuo look at the cave exit before he turned back towards the two girls.
Miku had awoken from her slumber and had opened her eyes to see her friend hurt, she let out a frightened wail as she looked at Lynne's frail body, blood forming a clear crimson pool below her. Lynne was doing her best to calm her by caressing her head gently.
Mikuo wasted no time, the sickening sound of crunching bones echoing through the cave as he settled back into his humanoid form and crouched next to the young girl.
"Lynne... we have to get you to a doctor." He whispered in a worried tone as he tried to carefully pull the arrow from the wound, only to be stopped by Lynne's rapidly cooling hand on his.
"The moment... you pull that out.. I will bleed to death.." She told him as the looked him in the eyes.
"Darling.. I'm done for.." She told him as she pressed the hand not currently stroking Miku's head over Mikuo's cheek, opening her mouth before beginning to hum a slow, soft tune. She wanted to do this just once more, to sing to her friends, the sweet little girl she considered a sister, and the man that could have been her mate.
"I don't want to sing a tearjerker song, I mean it please, at this moment, Let me sing with you, I wanna sing heart-warming songs with you yet ..." She paused. Her vision was hazy, but she was putting all her effort into her song. And as expected, she sounded like an angel.
She smiled when Mikuo placed her hand upon hers, he was trying to act tough for her, but tears were hidden in the corners of his eyes. The little Miku no longer knew what was going on, if Lynne was hurt, why would she sing? She was too young to understand, but the song calmed her.
"I dedicate a farewell song to you, Before I depart this life I wanna tell you.. Thank.. you.. " She finished, before placing a chaste kiss on Mikuo's cheek, as her eyes closed completely and her body went limp. It was only then that Miku truly began to cry, and Mikuo allowed his tears to flow freely.
"Lynne-chan. . ." He mumbled as he hugged her body close. "Rest well, I love you. . . We, love you." He told her as he held her lifeless form. The little Miku nuzzling into her, trying to get her to move. But her friend would never move again.

Meanwhile in town.
Life went on as it always had, peace and unity had followed the years of the dragon hunts, simply because it had left every nation in a weakened state that made them unable to wage war on one another. Now people had to work together to rebuild. And a calm was all that remained. At least until. . .
"Horrible, ah got terrible news! Lynne! It be aboot Lynne-chan!" A frightened hunter shouted as he burst into town.
The major, a grey haired, slightly wrinkly man of in his late seventies got up from his chair and took a tug from his pipe before raising his walking cane into the air to wave the man over. It took a while, but after catching his breath he finally did calm down.
"Explain to me what happened.. Quietly." He spoke in a calm tone as he waited patiently. The answer made his pipe drop to the ground as his jaw fell open.
"Dragon... A dragon killed.. Kagamine Lynne! Ah saw it with me own eyes!"
It was this line that started the second dragon hunt. Although Lynne's body was never found, the hunter that led them to the abandoned dragon den proved the world one thing. At least one dragon.. still lived.
And the hunter made sure one would ever know that the ones they were chasing, were not the young girl's murderers at all. The smirk on the gruff hunters face was the proof, that there was no more justice left in this world.
Prologue end
That was the prologue of this story. In the next, we'll be getting closer to the place where Synchronicity starts. Yes, as you may have noticed, Lynne is indeed Rin, or rather one of her former incarnations, poor girl is always doomed to die. The song Rin sang as her farewell song was of course her song "Proof of life"
Pretty please... Leave a review!
