"You know, you look gorgeous in that gown…" he told leaning closer to her
Ryochu's eyes widened slightly as Thatz came closer to her. Well for one, she was shocked, second, she was surprised, and third of all, she fell off the bench.
Thatz missed his target, and was close to falling off himself. But his left hand caught the edge, and he looked over to see his fellow "fallen" Knight "You need training." He laughed smiling down at her
"Excuse me?" she asked rubbing her head
"Training—Dragon Knight training." He repeated. "You need balance most of all it seems to me. After all, I'm not the one on the ground." He held out a hand.
Ryochu grabbed Thatz's hand—blushing somewhat, and stood up. "Thanks Thatz…" she mumbled
"What for?" he asked smiling. "The attempted kiss…? Or helping you up?" he laughed
"Men…" she thought. "Helping me up of course." She turned her head, then her body toward her room. "I'm going to try to go back to bed."
"That's just fine," Thatz said as he stood up and looked over to Ryochu. "It'd be for the best anyway." He smiled and picked her up, carrying her off to her room
"THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" she shouted blushing
Thatz laughed. "You want to wake up the entire castle?"
"Well… no." she mumbled remembering the time when she and Rath had waken up the whole castle once…
Rath tiptoed into Ryochu's room silently and rather quickly considering that Alfeegi and Tetheus were on duty that night. And he considered that their hearing was very heightened. So he quickly ran out of his room and ran barefooted to Ryochu's room and slipped into the room. Once Rath had accomplished that, he jumped on Ryochu's bed and crawled up to her side with Fire on his back hitting his owner's head with a note card violently. "Ryochu…!" Rath yelled hushed shaking her shoulders. "Ryochu!" he shouted again.
She stirred after the second shake, and on the violent third, she woke from her sleep. "Rath…?" she blinked tiredly and then rubbed her eyes
"Don't you remember what tonight is, Ryochu?" Rath said excitedly smiling like there wasn't going to be any other time then now to do so.
"…" Ryochu thought for a few minutes and shook her head. "Is it Lord Lykouleon's birthday or something…?"
Rath frowned at her in disappointment. "No, we were supposed to go demon hunting tonight, remember?"
"You're an idiot." She said simply as she crawled under the comforters and sheets. "You're gonna get yourself killed, go back to bed…" she snuggled into her pillow.
"Oh, come on, it won't be that bad." Rath laughed pulling the blankets off her bed
"It will too! Alfeegi said that demons are really really strong when night comes! I'm not going out beyond the walls!" she growled
"I can't believe I'm here…" Ryochu mumbled sitting on Electric's back, clenching a sword tightly in both of her hands
"You're fine, Ryochu." Rath smiled at her. "We have our dragons with us. If anything happens, they'll torch anything." Fire and Electric walked on the ground, providing their owners with transportation.
"What a comforting thought, Rath…" Ryochu glared at her insane friend.
"Yeah, I know isn't it?" he giggled like a schoolgirl
"I was being sarcastic, dummy…"
"Oh…I knew that…"
Ryochu sighed.
And suddenly, an enormous demon with darkened skin appeared in front of the two, breathing hot and heavily on them.
"You need a breath mint, buddy!" Rath plugged his nose and waved his hand back and forth.
"R-R-R-R-R-RUN!" Ryochu shouted as both Fire and Electric flew back into the night sky. "YOU SEE RATH! I TOLD YOU THAT THIS WAS A BAD IDEA! BUT DO YOU EVER LISTEN TO ME! NO! YOU HAVE TO GO DEMON HUNTING AT NIGHT! YOU COULND'T EVEN WAIT FOR YOUR DRAGON KNIGHT TRAINING, COULD YOU! YOU JUST HAD TO PULL ME OUT OF BED AND DRAG ME OUT INTO THE FOREST AND ALMOST GET EATEN BY A DEMON!" she shouted nearly crying
"Well…At least it was almost!" he laughed as a large hand came up between the two trying to grab one of them. "FASTER FIRE!" Rath's eyes went wide with fear and the dragons pumped their wings faster to the castle
The demon ran after the four, making the earth tremble under its weight.
"Tetheus… is it just me… or do you feel that too?" the aqua haired man asked the officer that leaned on a close pillar
"Check the children's rooms, Alfeegi …" he ordered standing on his own feet.
"You don't think they…"
"Oh I think all right…"
"I TOLD THEM IT WAS TREACHEROUS OUT THERE AT NIGHT!" Alfeegi yelled
"Did you ever stop to think they're too young to understand the WORD treacherous!" Tetheus shouted as he ran to wake the Dragon Fighters
And though that chaotic night, the demon was slain, and Rath and Ryochu got in trouble—grounded to their rooms for a week.
Thatz opened the bedroom doors, walked over to the bed, and placed Ryochu on it. He pulled the covers over her body up to her shoulders. He smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Sleep the best you can. You'll have a rude awakening." He laughed and walked out the door, closing it behind him.
"What the hell… did THAT mean…?" she asked herself
Well there's that chapter. More momories. It's fun. Anywho, Review please! Adios!
