Jesse held on tightly to the egg in his arms smiling as he looked at it. 'My own dragon, I cant wait for her to hatch! We can do all sorts of training once she's ready and' his thoughts were filled of what he and his new small friend could do together once she hatched.

Jaden also held on to his own dragon egg which was a deep magenta color with black spots all over. He held it tightly to his chest as Slifer made his way towards the direction of the Vampire kingdom. When Jaden looked up he saw a black, red and gold castle that poked out over the top of the forest of tree's. They neared the castle and Slifer and Tyrant slowly lowed to the ground and let their riders off. Hakoro went to Slifers massive head and stroked him and he purred a bit as they talked. Soon Hakoro stopped and nodded as Slifer took of to go eat and get a long days rest after his flight Tyrant not far behind.

"Well Jaden I guess this will be your new home from now on, I really hope you'll like it here" Hakoro stated kindly to the young dark elf as they began the walk towards the castle doors. Jaden smiled a bit as she said this "Thank you Mam'" Hakoro smiled "please Jaden just call me Hakoro, I really don't like formalities with friends and family" Jaden nodded as she said this. And looked up to the entrance.

The castle was surrounded by a black wall with iron gates and vines that twisted and turned all over it that sent of a dark aurora. However once through the gate the place was beautiful. The castle doors were large and had winding vines with white and red roses growing on it. As the doors opened for them Jaden gasped as he stepped inside. The place gave off a sense of tranquility and calmness.

The place was white and seemed to have come out of a fairy tale book, with its red carpets that lay on the halls and stairs. The walls were decorated with what seemed to be a garden full of white flowers and some pictures hung here and there. As they went on words to the throne room Jaden stared at his surroundings. 'I could get used to this place'

Hakoro opened the next set of doors which were a dark red color, and walked into the throne room and a chorus of "good day my queen" "how was your trip?" "it is good to have you back your Majesty" and other things were said. Hakoro waved them all away however "yes, yes thank you all for your concern and such but nows not the time I am tired from my journy and I still have to speak with a few people. Now if you don't mine could you all kindly leave the throne room? And please get the council members and such? Also Zane could you see if they could get us something to eat?" Zane nodded and left.

Jaden stared around him, the throne room was a lovly shade of magenta and the Queens throne was red and gold while the Kings was black and gold. Hakoro strode over to her chair and sat down with a grateful sigh and looked up at the three. "Jesse you can show Jaden around cant you? And Syrus you may go with them if you want" Syrus nodded and looked to Jesse who smiled and motioned for Jaden and Syrus to follow him. "And Jesse!" Jesse stopped and looked at his mother "Jaden can have the room next to yours ok?" he nodded and left.

Jaden followed the two vampires past the throne chairs and through some secret doors. Once through them there was a hall and straight ahead was two sets of stairs but between them was a picture of the royal family, Hakoro looked the same as a happy smile was on her face, her eyes holding a spark he never saw in her eyes when he met her. In her lap was a younger Jesse who also had a grinning smile as his hair was ruffled by his mother. Yohan smiled as well standing next to his mother and little brother a hand on his shoulder by the one who stood behind him. Then lastly a man who seemed to be an inch or two taller then Hakoro with long red hair that was spiky on the top but went into a ponytail, blue eyes, and a kind smile with a hand on Hakoros shoulder and the other on Yohans.

As they approached the stairs Jaden spoke "Um, who is that?" Syrus looked at Jaden as he pointed to the painting. When syrus saw this he spoke lightly to Jaden as they continued to walk "That is the greatest vampire king we've ever had. Reno King of the vampires, sadly he died in a war a few weeks after the painting was made. Please don't mention him around Hakoro-sama or even Jesse or Yohan, its kindof a hard thing. To be honest no one could believe he had died, it shocked everyone in our race." Jaden was shocked at this "Oh I-I see, that's really sad." Syrus nodded "yeah I was only 8 but Jesse and Yohan were 10 at the time"

Jaden looked down "that's really bad, I never really got to know my father, he died when I was only 3 and I don't really remember him" Syrus nodded in sympathy. "Well, were here, Jaden this is your room and that's mine next to it, at the end of the hall is mothers and the one across from mine is Yohans, don't go in there EVER or he gets mad" Jesse said. Jaden nodded in understanding "Ok."

Syrus spoke "well I have to go see my mom and dad now see you later Jesse, Jaden it was nice meeting you" Jaden smiled and bowed as Syrus started to walk off "it was nice to meet you too syrus" he said and syrus nodded waving as he ran now.

Jaden looked over to Jesse who was walking away from him to his room. Jaden sighed and went into his own rom to put some of the things in his room. His room was red with a desk and a book shelf, the bed had red silk sheets and pillows and the room also had four doors. Jaden knew that these most likely led to the bathroom and closet but he didn't know the other two. As he checked he was indeed correct that one was for the bathroom and the other to the closet. The third was to a balcony as he walked out he looked down and saw a garden and a pond. He went back in and checked the fourth door after he opend it however he quickly shut the door.

He turned his back to the door, his face red as he put his hand to it. The fourth door was a connecting door to Jesses room. 'omg! I didn't know that it, omg I cant believe I saw him changing his clothing! Ack! I cant believe it! Hes defiantly been working out or something though, and hes got a great ta-NO! BAD JADEN BAD THOUGHTS! Although he did look pretty sexy….OMG DID I JUST THINK THAT!?!' jadens mind was in a rush as he staggered over to his stuff and put it quickly away and changed for the night. He then looked over at his Dragon egg and smiled as he put it next to him on a pillow and patted it slowly falling into sleep.

Unknowing to Jaden Jesse had heard and saw jaden open the door and closed it immediately. 'oops forgot to tell him about that door, oh well'Jesse had thought as he went back to changing for the night. He slipped into bed and blew out the candle letting the glow of the moonlight illuminate the room. He looked to the dragon egg on the pillow next to him and smiled as he lay there. Hakoro soon knocked lightly on his door and he spoke "come on in" she opened the door and smiled at him and sat down on his bed. "are you happy that you got your dragon egg?" Jesse smiled and nodded and she ruffled his hair. "Im glad. Im sorry about nt telling you earlier about all this" Jesse smiled "its ok mom I forgive you" as he sat up and gave her a hug and she returned it and pet his hair.

"hey mom?" she looked down at him and he tightened his grip for a moment "do you think dad would be proud of me right now?" Hakoro smiled lightly "oh hunny of corse he would, he was always proud of you and Yohan even before you two were born!" "really?" he asked her. She nodded "yes I remember it quite well, you and Yohan still in my stomic when he was hugged me you guys kicked him and he had a bruise there for a week!" she laughed lightly and Jesse giggled a bit. "And then he told me that he knew you two would grow up to be big and strong and that he would always be proud of you two no matter what, and you know what? I agreed." Jesse smiled lightly and she poked his nose "and to this day and Im sure till the day I die I will never regreat those words" she kissed his forhead. Jesse spoke "can you sing me a lullaby? One more time?" asking silently and she stroked his hair and began to sing to him.

Listen to each drop of rain

Aaah

Whispering secrets in vain

Aaah

Frantically searching for someone to hear

Their story before they hit ground

Please don't let go

Can't we stay for a while?

It's just to hard to say goodbye

Listen to the rain

Weeping oo..ohh

I stand alone in the storm

Aaah

Suddenly sweet words take hold

Aaah

Hurry they say for you haven't much time

Open your eyes to the love around you

You may feel you're alone

But I'm here still with you

You can do what you dream

Just remember to listen to the rain

When she stopped she noticed Jesse had fallen asleep and she smiled to herself and tucked him into bed and gave him a small his on his forhead before she left she spoke "goodnight my son" and shut the door quietly before walking off to go to bed herself.
