Dark Stormchaser: [smiling] Okay! I'm back with the next chapter. Thank you for all those who reviewed.

Kouji: [glares daggers]

Storm: [grins] Is something bothering you, dear?

Kouji: [glares] You're crazy.

Shadow: [scowls] Why does everyone say that? I am not crazy. I am unstable.

Kouji: [irritated] There's a difference?

Storm: [firmly] Yes. Crazy is when you've completely lost most of your marbles. Unstable means that you've just lost your grip on your marbles but there is chance that you can find them. Duh.

Kouji: [stares]

Storm: [blinks] What?

Kouji: [frowns] You don't really believe that, do you?

Storm: [confused] I wouldn't have said if I didn't.

Kouji: [shakes his head in disbelief] Just get it over with.

Storm: [grins] With pleasure.

Chapter 2 – Taichi x Kouji Change

Kouji hit the ground, hard. Blood filled his mouth and he spit it out. He looked up at Kousei. "That…monster is helping that bastard that kidnapped your brother and attempted to kidnap you but you socialize with it!" his father roared. It had been weeks since the attempted kidnapping and Kouji had done as asked, continuing to visit alone and spend hours at a time with the dragon. Taichi wasn't that bad. In fact Kouji began to look forward to spending time with him. When he wasn't being a perverted bastard, Taichi was actually understanding and kind…as well as passionate and hotheaded. Lately, Kouji had begun to crave the dragon, sexually. Not that he would ever admit it of course. But he should have known that his disappearances wouldn't go unnoticed forever.

"Father, listen to me," Kouji began. Kousei's eyes blazed.

"To what? How you have forgotten your own brother? How you have betrayed us? Tell me, Kouji. What have you told him about our ways?" Kousei snapped. Hurt filled Kouji.

"I haven't told him anything about our ways," Kouji admitted flatly. And it was the truth. Taichi didn't care to know about their fey ways. He only cared about Kouji. Kousei snarled, revealing his small fangs.

"You lie. What else could you have talked about it for weeks?" Kousei snarled. Kouji opened his mouth but before he could speak, another did.

"Oh, Kouji. Did he bewitch you?" a woman asked. Kouji rolled his eyes.

"No. Saotome, he did not," Kouji said flatly. Kousei glared.

"Then, you willingly socialized with him?" Kousei asked flatly.

"Yes. He…."

"He is the enemy!" Kousei roared. "And you have betrayed us! And for that you will be executed. Along with that dragon." Kouji allowed the shock to show before reacting.

"You can't! You can execute me for all I care but if you try to kill him, you'll start a war with the dragons. They'll destroy our people," Kouji argued. Kousei's cold expression didn't change.

"Let them come. They started this war when they took Kouichi. And you don't need to start worrying about our people. You've stopped caring about them the minute you allowed yourself to associate with that monster," Kousei said coldly. His words hurt but Kouji refused to let it show. He couldn't. He glanced behind him as the guards stepped forward to take him away. Kouji narrowed his eyes, focusing his powers. Light filled his hands and he raised his hands, creating a flare. Cries of surprise and rage filled his ears but he ignored them, knowing that he had stunned them for now. He rushed out of the room, racing down the prison. Kouji didn't hesitate to throw the jail door open and run over to Taichi. He looked up, startled.

"Kouji? What's wrong? Are you all right?" Taichi asked.

"You have to get out of here," Kouji snapped, using his powers to break the chains.

"Why?" Taichi asked, reaching up to run his finger gently over Kouji's cheek. Kouji flinched and drew away. Taichi's eyes turned crimson. "Who the fuck hit you?"

"Doesn't matter. You have to get out of here. They are going to kill you," Kouji snapped. He glanced behind him, hoping to hell that they were still stunned.

"Let them fucking try. Who the hell hit you?" Taichi demanded.

"KOUJI!" Kousei roared. Kouji felt the color drain from his face. Taichi's eyes narrowed.

"I'll fucking kill them all," Taichi snarled as scales began to form around his eyes.

"No! Please! Don't…." Kouji pleaded. He had never pleaded for anything in his life. But if it would keep the peace between his race and Taichi, then he would gladly do it. Taichi turned to him angrily.

"They hurt you!" Taichi raged. Kouji trembled but nodded.

"You need to get out of here," Kouji whispered. Taichi growled.

"I will not leave without you," Taichi snapped. Tears sprang to Kouji's eyes as he realized that Taichi would do anything for him except leave him. Taichi would never abandon him as his father and his race had done without hesitation.

"Okay," Kouji said hoarsely. Taichi froze.

"What?" Taichi asked.

"I'll go with you," Kouji said, allowing the tears to flow freely. Taichi narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"Why?" Taichi asked. Kouji gazed at him.

"I have nothing left here," Kouji admitted.

"What do you mean, Kouji?"

"I mean that they have already decided that I am a traitor and I need to be executed for being close to you." Taichi growled as his body shifted. Kouji looked up at the large red dragon. His wings expanded, instantly crumbling the walls around them. Kouji continued to gaze up at him, not concerned with the building falling apart around him. He was focused on the dragon. He no longer feared it as he once had all those weeks ago. He knew it was because he now knew the man within the dragon. The dragon roared as magic came flying at them. Kouji turned, summoning up his own magic. A light barrier rapidly formed, shielding them from the attacks and the rumble. Kouji stiffened when he felt a scaly nose nudged his back. Kouji turned to see the dragon lowered itself to the ground, gesturing to behind him. No, Taichi wanted Kouji to ride him. "You want me to ride you?" Taichi nodded. Kouji bit his lower lip and pushed himself to his feet. He threw his leg over the thick neck, straddling him. He felt a shudder run through Taichi's body before Taichi extended his wings, taking flight. Kouji continued to allow the tears to stream down his face as he looked down at what was left of the only place he had ever considered home. He couldn't stay there any longer. Even as he knew it, he couldn't help but mourn that life as he knew it was forever changed.


Dark Stormchaser: Okay, that was part two. The third part will be the final part.

Kouji: [twitches angrily] You are sick.

Storm: [smirks] I am so glad you've noticed.

Kouji: [shakes his head] You need help. Medical help.

Shadow: [shrugs] That's what people keep telling me.

Kouji: [sighs] I mean a therapist.

Storm: [smirks] No thanks, darling. By the way, thank you for reading and please review.
