2 hours ago, the orange youth and the dragons found a dark cave to rest in. And also, to heal the princess.
The young man watched the girl, unconscious still, sleep until he finally got bored of that. He got up and started to walk out of the cave.
"Master, where do you think you are going? You have to heal her," growled Luna blocking her master's path from exiting.
He looked away from Luna, and proceeded towards the exit. "I'll be back later. I guess I will go find food and some fire wood. Just stay here, oh and if she wakes up, don't tell her anything. See ya." Her master disappeared into the darkness of the woods leaving a young woman and 2 dragons in a cave.
Luna turned away from the exit and looked at the black dragon then at the woman. "So dragon, what's your name. I'm Luna, the zodiac dragon unfortunately," murmured Luna.
The black dragon just stared at Luna then quickly looked away. He knew for a fact that he couldn't speak for some reason. He kept his eyes on the stone cold floor and laid down putting his back towards Luna. Luna just looked at him then at the ground.
"So I guess you can't talk huh? Well, maybe I can fix that problem if you trust me. Just walk to me and face me face to face." The muted dragon sighed but stood up and did what Luna told him to do. He stared at her with a long cold stare as she began to raise her left arm. Her arm moved towards the dragon's neck, and gave him a deep gash where his vocal cords were kept. The black dragon just stood there, shaking from the sudden attack. Luna bent her head down towards the wound and blew an ice cold breeze in the laceration. The wound began to heal up super fast and she withdrew her head back.
The black dragon just stood there looking at Luna, wanting to try out his voice. "My name is Vivacious. And I serve for the humans, especially for my mistress right there." Vivacious's voice was a deep scary kind, but sounded like a grown up dragon.
The dragons talked for the longest time, still keeping an eye out on the young woman. Before the dragons knew it, Luna's master finally returns with wood in one hand and fish in the other. With having his voice back, Vivacious walked up to the man and roared at him.
He slowly backed away and glanced at Luna. "Luna what the hell is his problem? What the hell did I do?" He fell backwards, landing on his back with a dragon on top of him looking down. "You did everything. You threatened and hurt my mistress, and now, I will do the same favor and I will tear you apart one by one," roared Vivacious while raising his arm to rip this man apart but was stopped by a touch on his stomach.
Vivacious looked at his side and noticed a brown haired woman with blue eyes looking at him. The dragon lowered his arm and turned towards the woman. The princess was on the brink of tears when she figured out that her dragon could now talk and to save that young man.
"Vivacious, I can't believe you have your voice back," said the cheerful woman hugging the dragon's head.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you your highness, that's why I was about to kill him," said Vivacious now glaring at the man. "He's the one that almost killed you."
Tohru started to approach the man until she felt a sudden pain in her side that made her fall to the ground. She held her side trying to stop the bleeding but stopped when she felt a pair of hands move hers away from her side. She looked at the orange head, wondering what this zodiac might do to her.
"I'm sorry that I have to ask and not to be weird or anything. I have to take your armor off and fix this wound before it gets infected." Tohru smiled at him and whispered "Yes, you may but, leave my left arm sleeve rolled down when you get my armor off." "I'm just taking your armor off," he muttered in a low voice.
He stripped her armor off and took off his to take his shirt off. He ripped long strands of his shirt apart and soaked them in cold water. He quickly wrung out the strips and wrapped them around Tohru's side. She flinched a little from the coldness of the water. She looked back at him and saw that he was now attending to his own dragon's wounds on her wings.
"Um, zodiac warrior, may I ask who you are?" Tohru sat straight up waiting for an answer. The man didn't even look at her but answered. "I'm Master Kyo Sohma. I love to kill and killing is what I do. Who are you then?"
Tohru smiled like she was waiting for him to ask her the same question. "My name is Tohru Honda. And of course you figured out that I was a girl. That wasn't supposed to happen at all. I'm sorry for making you tend to me but thank you." She smiled but Kyo wasn't looking at her.
'Ok, this is weird. I think those stupid human bastards are trying to trick me by sending a woman out to fight. Well, they can't soften my soul by doing that, so I'll just an end to her miser,' Kyo thought. Kyo withdrew his sword, walked over to the smiling woman and pointed the blade straight at her throat.
"Who are those pathetic humans are trying to fool now. No one can stop me, and no one will ever get in my way. Even if they sent a woman to fight to hold us back. Such cowards!" Kyo yelled at her making Tohru scared enough that she couldn't speak. The 2 dragons just watched but Vivacious couldn't take it anymore. He stood behind Tohru growling at Kyo.
"What are you doing you mortal? My mistress has done nothing to you and here she has a sword being pointed at her?"
"Well my fellow dragon, I am sensing that she is a decoy so that the humans can take even more advantage on the zodiacs." Kyo stared at the dragon that was doing the same thing.
"Well you are wrong zodiac; my mistress disguised herself in this armor so she can fight. Based on our rules, women are not allowed to fight at all," said Vivacious. Tohru just sat there, still looking at Kyo.
"What makes you think that I can believe all that bullshit?"
Before the dragon got a chance to speak, Tohru stood up in front of Kyo. "Kyo-kun, I am the princess of the humans. My….my father didn't want me around anyone who fought or any guys. He was scared that I would soon wanted to go to fight the zodiacs. But I don't want the fight them at all," Tohru looked down at her feet crying slowly. "I….I hate fighting Kyo-kun, I just wanted to bring peace. We are all still the same, and look at how we treat each other. Just because half the population is under a curse doesn't give them a right to blame anything on us." Tohru looked up at Kyo who was looking at her. She walked away slowly towards the exit of the cave.
Kyo looked at the ground, thinking about what she just said to him. All she wanted was to end this battle and this is how he treats her with his harsh words. "Look, I'm sorry at what I said to you. It's just that I never wanted to converse with a mere human. But for some reason, you are different from the rest of them. Tha…..that's a good thing." Tohru turned around to look at Kyo, fully understanding his words. "But I can promise you this, there is no way you can end something like this. Only the Zycron can by wiping out our entire zodiac race." Kyo looked up at Tohru with a serious face.
Tohru surprised Kyo by giving him a million dollar smile that he never seen from anyone before. "Thank you for your apology Kyo-kun. That really means so much to me. You see, it is not that different talking to you than any other person. But I have one question. What is the Zycron?"
"The Zycron, is either a male or a female human who can wipe out my race. I don't exactly know how they do it; it's a mystery to us all. The Zycron is born with a hideous scar on their arm, and that is what I have to find and kill that person."
'So than this Zycron person is me. And Kyo-kun was sent to kill me or else I will kill him and his people. But I will never do that! I just won't tell Kyo-kun until the time is right for me to,' Tohru thought.
"Well, I guess we have to camp out in this cave for tonight. Luna can't fly due to the injury she received." Kyo looked at Tohru hard.
"Same goes for my dragon too, well goodnight Kyo-kun!" Tohru waved and went to sleep next to Vivacious. Kyo did the same thing, but leaned up against Luna's side trying to hit the sack.
