Chapter Two: Information Needed
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN YU-GI-OH! QUIT SUEING ME!
A/N: Oh my goodness, I just realized I didn't put a title on the first chapter. I'm an idiot sometimes. ANYWAYS, here is chapter two!
Serenity on one arm, Niobe around his neck under the brown hoodie, the baby in his shirt pocket underneath the hoodie and Glitter wrapped around Serenity's neck, oh yeah, Joey was walking in style, or so he wished. But this was his small family, he just had to grit his teeth and bear through it.
"Niobe, what will happen now?" he asked, putting a hand gently on his chest to where the infant was.
Niobe's rich voice answered. Now? I must speak with the Father Dragon about my condition and see if he can take in my offspring, since my mate is unable to.
Joey stopped, looking at his shoulder. "Wait a second, what do you mean he can take the baby in? Can't you raise it?"
Joey, our dragon world was the same as this world thousands of years ago. After the portal opened five millennia ago, we have taught the dragons of this world our world but when our portal was closed, the ones stuck behind had become extinct, like the dragons of this world. We have a dragon council and in this council, there is law.
Serenity looked at Niobe and then at Glitter. "What does this council do?"
A lighter female voice entered their heads, sighing softly. How I forget that this world has not seen our kind in generations.
You must forgive them, they do not know, Niobe chided her companion. The council makes up the laws, watches the young and teaches all the new ways.
"You still didn't answer my question," Joey reminded his dragon.
Yes, I apologize about that. When dragons mate, it is a one-time thing before they move onto other mates. The male must take the egg, or in my case, eggs, and watch over them until they hatch. When they hatch, he must watch the offspring and when they reach a certain age, he must take them to the Father Dragon so the he may care for them until they are ready to face the world on their own.
"But you now live in the world of humans. Did we change that?" Serenity asked.
You have but it's not a bad thing. We just have to see what the Father Dragon thinks about it before we do anything, Glitter replied softly.
Joey nodded and stuck his hand into his pocket. Walking carefully around slick ice, he led the group to Yugi's. Turning a corner, another man bumped into him, right where the infant was.
"Sorry about that," the man said gruffly, continuing on his way.
Joey narrowed his eyes a little. He stopped and put a hand to his breast pocket, feeling an absent of warmth. "Where'd the baby go?"
A/N: Alright, maybe I'm including too much information into this fic but hey, it's mine and I choose to do as I please with it. Please review!
