--; This chapter was probably the most confusing of this saga, so I changed this around as well. It will be much more simpliar.

Flamer: I hope so. You can be a very complicanted person sometimes.

On with the fic!

--

Deep in Hanging Neck Island, the sun seem to make dots on the swaying grass below. It made beautiful lights dance upon a sleeping beauty.

Daisy still lay asleep on the demon-controlled grass. Her peaceful state was one to daze upon, which Yoko did secretively as he appeared from the shadows of the Forest. He seem to hold an article in his hand as he walked over to Daisy. He dropped the bag so that it landed next to the dragon.

She awoke slowly with the noise of the bag waking her. She streched her wings lazily and sat up. Daisy's eyes gazed at the bag and then at Yoko, who was standing over her.

"This is your new attire. I found them to be battle armor that dragons usually wear."

The timid dragon looked through the bag and her orange jewels lit up, as if she use to wear the clothes. Daisy took a good look at her would-be uniform. It looked like armor that only covered her breast and her panty line. Still, the whole things had armor for the ankles, wrists, shoulders, and a coller to match. To Daisy, it was like meeting a lost friend.

Still, when she tried to take the vines from around her to put on the clothes, they tightened. She looked at Yoko with a pout, wanting an explanation.

"You shall not wear those items until you past my training. Think of it as part of your gift in the end." Yoko smirked, walking out of sight again.

Daisy looked at her new gift with care. Then, her eyes seem to fill with murder. How dare Yoko deny her the freedom to wear dragon armor? Still, Daisy knew it would be suicidal to try and fight against the fox.

The shoujo ryu once again looked at the hot spring that shared her space. Suddenly, her eyes seem to go back to the night before, when she saw her trainer in a most beautiful version. Yoko's alluring body taunted her dreams, for when Daisy finally managed to go to sleep that night, her imagination sent her into the hot spring with the fox... where her dream took a trip into an early mating season. She started blushing a light pink just thinking about her dirty mind and how the people who caught saw her as a 'innocent, little dragon'.

And how dare they?! If not for this world and its sick rules, Daisy would have did away with each of them. That drunken host from the tavern was right to say that Daisy put up a fight. She was just released that day, and then the next thing she knew, hunters were after her again. Without the knowledge of flight, the runt had put up a decent fight... until one got behind her and tide down her wrists, growling lustfully in the process. On then, Daisy wouldn't allow her mind to remember.

A sudden disturbance in the steamy air around her recused Daisy from horror lane. Fading in and out of vision, a figure seem to be dancing threateningly. Daisy realized it was an attack, finding the figure in the steam to have claws ready to attack.

It was then that Daisy showed a part of herself that Yoko, and even she, knew nothing about. She opened her wings and evaded the attack by flying into a back-flip. Daisy saw the attacker in the fog and kicked it in mid air. Daisy landed perfectly, to her great surprise.

How the shoujo ryu knew how to fly was besides her. Daisy was never taught how to fly, for her mother was force breed and she managed to escape before she was auctioned. Her attention was brought back on the attacker, who stopped moving and was now visible. It was Shadey from the tavern. Daisy narrowed her eyes, but they still held more fear in them than courage.

"I knew it! I knew you were more than just a mutt ryu. Why don't you quit hiding behind that fake innocent act?" Shadey snarled.

Daisy looked on in confusion. How was it that Shadey was allowed to be without her owner? And why did she attack her? Even more puzzling is that she knew how to fly. Daisy could have shown to herself that she didn't know. Shadey saw Daisy's confusion, but thought of it as still an act.

"You need to shape up or Yoko's going to--"

"--Yoko's going to do what?" A voice spat.

The two dragons gasped as Yoko came back to the scene, his eyes full of protection and venom through the hazy opening. He seem to had gone into the forest for food, for there was a bag of berries in his hand. Daisy's face broke a small smile as Yoko fronted her attacker.

"Dragon, where is Jason, your trainer?" He demanded.

Shadey kept her sterness, just like Daisy had shown a rebellion in her gaze.

"I'm here to give you a message from Master Jason, Yoko. He's asking for you to meet up with a couple of other trainers for a party of sorts."

Youko saw the ignorance in the green-eyed dragon's gaze and intensified his own.

"You may be close to Jason, but I can still kill you if need be. Next time you try and attack Daisy, you will have to answer to me."

This seem to put Shadey in her place as her eyes held fear. She snarled and dissapeared into the steamy atmosphere. It was then that the spirit fox looked back at Daisy, who was still trying to figure out how she was able to fly.

"You lied to me. Why?" Yoko asked, his tone holding warning.

Daisy paniced. Not only did Yoko seem to have seen the whole thing, but she couldn't talk and give an explanation. Yoko seem to remember this and read her orange eyes.

"So, you didn't know yourself. Well, it would seem that you know how to fly very well, seeing that you fended off Shadey, especially since she's strong... for a ryu, that is."

Daisy sighed as a mental weight was lifted from her shoulders, but looked threateningly at the fox. She didn't take too kinddly to the comment about Shadey being strong for a dragon. Suddenly, breaking Daisy of murderous thoughts, Yoko gave her the berries he had collected and walked off from sight. After the last attack, Daisy wasn't about be left again and started to follow the spirit fox while eating the berries.

As the two walked through the forest, Yoko's mind was racing.

/- Daisy wouldn't lie to me. Still, it would have taken a year's worth of mental training for her to fend off Shadey. It seems that I have a lot to learn about this dragon runt than I thought. -/

As Daisy ate more berries, she took a glace at Yoko. The dragon saw something more clearly in the fox's eyes than what she saw at the betting tavern. Daisy only saw a dot of this new emotion at the bar, but now, it was almost covering Yoko's golden orbs with a brighter shade of yellow. And there as something warm about this emotion... something attractive. Daisy just couldn't put her finger on it.

However, this was not stopping the shoujo ryu from thinking of a way to escape. If she could prevent the same events that happen with her last few trainers, she would, but she couldn't fly... or could she?


Flamer: Daisy's supicious.

Yup. Made her that way. Will she try and escape from Yoko's grasp, or is there something stopping her.

Flamer: She can't fly. Duh!

Are you sure?

Flamer: sweatdrops Well...

That's what I thought. Review... again. plz? pwease?
