The Dragon Piper - Chapter two

Sapphire orbs scanned the hill train with confusion as Shriek practically vibrated with his growl on her side. Kagome shot him a disapproving look as he snarled at each movement in the grass. Swatting him over the head with her hand after she noticed that he was succeeding in ignoring her, she glared at him as he looked at her with annoyance.

"Would you stop being so protective?" she practically hissed under her breath. The dragon snorted at the young female beside him before going back to glaring at the moving blades of grass. He knew that smell anywhere, it was that damn hatchling viking and his stupid pet dragon who managed to trap him in that god forsaking glacier. The Skrill's form wrapped around HIS petite rider tighter. He'd be damned before a single one of them laid a finger on her.

Hiccup's form slowly slipped out of the tall grass and exposed himself to the pretty viking. He laughed nervously as he rubbed his arm in a sheepish manner.

"Uh... Hi." he chuckled weakly to the girl, tensing up for the beating he was about to receive. He was once again surprised when she just smiled and laughed good heartedly.

"Hi!" she chirped as she took a step towards him, totally ignoring Shriek's displeased warning growl when she stood in front of the boy and stuck out her hand in greeting. "My name's Kagome! And the grumpy, scaly lizard behind me is Shriek!"

Hiccup blinked in surprise at the happy tune in her voice. She wasn't mad? Huh. Slowly, he took her hand into his own and shook it, immediately noticing the dragon's growling increased when he did so.

"Hiccup," he dubbed himself as he shook her hand. He was pleasantly surprised when Kagome shared a nice display of her pearly whites as they released each others palm, before she started to dig something out of her vest.

"Well, I would be really grateful if you could point me to..." she drawled as she took out a well worn parchment map and pointed to the island in the corner of her map.

"Here! I need to find Berk!" she tweeted, missing the way Hiccup's eyes widened as she pointed to the island they were on. "After you help you can call whoever you want! I just need the general direction..."

Hiccup's eyes narrowed at her suspiciously, after he recovered from the fact that this girl was looking for their island.

"Why do you want to go to Berk? I heard that place was filled with dragon riders, it wouldn't be the best place to target…."

Hiccup watched with interest as each of her emotions flashed through her eyes. Suprise. Doubt. Then finally, resolve. Kagome smiled softly at Hiccup, before catching him off guard once more with her words.

"I'm not trying find Berk to attack it!" she giggled behind her hand.

"I'm trying to find it because I want to live there!" she stated with happiness, before grabbing his hand and dragging him over to the glaring Skrill

Hiccup blinked a couple of times trying to figure out if he was seeing things. Nope, he wasn't see things. There on the Great Lighting Eater's back, was a well crafted saddle that seemed to be made out of the same black material the girl next to him had hanging off the strings of her shirt. The saddle went to about the middle of the dragon's back. In the front was a place for the rider to sit and behind the seat was an area to strap on some items. The dragon was holding a bed roll, and a silvery blue messenger bag that looked ready to explode. The black saddle had stirrups but looked like it didn't need them, like Astrid's.

"So as you can see, I'm a rider too. So, could you please point me toward Berk?"

Hiccup was just about to tell her where she was when Toothless suddenly slipped down the grass covered sloop, upside down and stopped at the bottom on his back with a huge upside down smile pointed at Kagome.

Hiccup winced at the hurt look that passed through her eyes as she stared at Toothless' harness.

Once the black slitted eyes of the Skrill and bright, iridescent green eyes of the Night Fury met, both of the dragon's deafening growls of distaste rumbled in symphony. Clouds gathered and lightning flashed in the sky as both riders stayed silent, one processing how to amend his mistake, the other analysing the mistake itself. Shriek curled himself around the women who had miraculously gained his trust and snarled at the Night Fury. Toothless himself echoed the Skrill's movements and let a out his own protective growl.

Suddenly, Kagome put her hand on the top of Shriek's nose, causing him to look at her. His young hatchling rider was smiling brilliantly for him as she knelt down to his height to cuddling his head in her arms.

"It's ok, Shriek..." she murmured as rubbed her cheek on his rough scales.

"I'm ok, everyone's ok. I won't let anyone hurt you. I'm sure Hiccup was just trying to see if we were enemies," Kagome stated in understanding as she looked into his eyes. She smiled at the Shriek and he returned it with a slight tilt of his lips. Kagome looked through Hiccup next her tidal orb's filling with forgiveness as she smiled at him and said, "Now, let's go see this new home, ne?"
