In the village
"Hey! Come one let me out!" the white haired villagers stared in wonder and caution as Yun bashed against the cage "I may be handsome but putting me in a Cage is in poor taste!" "Just so you know the heavens favour these good looks! If anything happens to me you'll suffer divine punishment!" "Our dragon decides who will be punished" he settled down his eyes serious as he looked around "These people share the dragon blood...How will I escape? I hope the others haven't been captured...Well everyone except Kagome...' he chuckled darkly at his thoughts a shaodw fell over his form and he looked up "Eh? Lady Kagome what's wrong?" "What's that about being captured Yun? See they call me Lady Kagome" she put an emphasis on the title sneering down at him "Do you know this person kagome-sama?" "Sort of he's a healer and has excellant cooking he also claims to be handsome but I don't see it..." "Hm...Do you wish for him to be let out?" she looked at Hak he just shrugegd before looking around again. Regretting her choice as soon as she made it, she turned to yona who had hope and pleading in his eyes "Sure let the pup out" he bowed before ordering the guard to do so.
"Thank you Kagome!" Yun crawled to the shadow dragonhugging her knees "You don't know how filthy that cage is!" "I do actually" he stood up eyes curious "Obaa-sama used to put me there for punishment, though since I can't fit there anymore she tends to be more...Creative" shuddering at the memory of her last punishment she put on a smile and turned to Yona "Well?" "Thank you Onee-sama" Grinning with smugness "You are very welcome Yona" she gave a dramatic bow before resuming to walk to the tree.
Reaching the tree the mustache man bowed "We apologise for our rudeness...Since ancient times..." Kagome tuned him out not bothering to listen to the history lesson, Though she did give Yona a piggy back making her sit on her shoulders so that the groping hands of the villagers didn't touch her. after his explanation Hak interrupted "I understand that but...What is this?" he pointed to where Kagome was up on the lowest branch of the tree below her people were gathered "Look it's the Dragon of Shadow!" "That girl has red hair..." they ooed and awed at the two females Kagome was about to put her mask on but faltered lightly remembering what she and the old man talked about.
"Since the Shadow Dragon is here with you there is a 99% chance that you are the person whom we've been seraching for...there is also the 1% chance you aren't..." Kagome tuned them out again focusing on the large tower where she felt him "Oi Old man" he looked up "He's in there isn't he..." "Hai he is"
Kagome smriked when she heard an old womans voice as well as hurried feet "Obaa-sama is still the same I see..." He looked up and noticed her tilted head 'So she has grown stronger over these years' "Yes she is still as crazy and worrisome as always" she giggled lightly "I hope I meet her soon..." "The white dragon?" "I already met the brat when his father was still alive"
Somewhere else
an ear twitched "The village seems quite lively today "Of course not only have some outsiders been let in but it seems an old protector of this village has decided to pay a visit "An old Protector?" "Back when the village was just the white dragon she used to protect him as he weakened until he died leaving a child in his wake, she also raised that child" "She?" "Indeed and it seems she has returned" "She must be oldet than you obaa-sama" "I'm not that old and yes she is ancient" "By these outiders need to be eliminated" she old woman shrugged off his worries "They're rather unusual the village has been fussing over them" his shoulders shook with anger "Did they invite them in?!" "But I heard one of the girls are cute" "So what? You must be especially careful of female assassins he donned his clothes covering four ragged claw shaped scars, "I'm going!" "White Dragon...!" she sighed a worried look coming over her face "Oh kagome please be easy on the boy..." 'I will at least...Use my power to protect the village!'
The villagers had disapated so Kagome put yona down running up into the tree to keep watch she also removed the concealment from her body her K-9's growing and sharpening her eyes were brighter and had cat slit eyes though they remained the same colour a single black striped appeared directly under each eye, on her forehead was a mini thunderstorm the cloud a dark grey almost black with a pale yellow lightening going down to the tip of her nose.
Yona sighed stretching "What's wrong princess?" Haks question made her turn to him "It's extraordinary" "Hm?" Kagome also payed an ear to the conversation while still on the look out "When a child is born with the powers of the dragon, the blood disappears form the previous owner of his blood" "It's bloodline must be maintained until he is needed again" she sank down resting her head on her knees "I came to borrow such a power..." Hak smirked looking down at her "Should we give up?" She raised up and smirked "Hak is he won't lend us help you'll just have to train me more you too Onee-sama!" Kagome hummed her agreement smiling a little before her eyes narrowed angrily jumping down from her perch she stood in front of yona and Hak casually "I'd do anything to protect you Yona..." said girl blushed but grinned.
Kagome stood in front of Yona hiding her from his gaze "White Dragon why have you come here?" ""I don't need to give you an answer Shadow Dragon..." she grinned her eyes filled with mocking delight "How's your back?" he growled and would've attacked her had an arm stopped Kagome from attacking him "Onee-sama Please don't! You'll hurt him!" She turned around reassuring the young woman and he caught a glance of pinky red hair (This is based off of the anime in which Yona has pink hair not red) 'Red hair?' he suddenly bent over in pain his blood boiling and going in reverse as the dragons voice echoed the vow in his head 'She must be the one I've waited for...My Master...Is related to Kagome...' his last feeling was despair as Kagome caught him in her arms bridal style "He is fine it is the dragon within him acting up" she placed him into her lap soothing his pain with her own more dominant power this also caused him to awake just as kagome was licking his wound "...!" he let out a small eep as the other dragon pointedly ignored him and continued to lick his hand soothing the burning pain and unbearable throbbing "You should be thankful this happened now..." "Why?" "I had it happen to me when I was but a young pup merely the age of 3 I was bed ridden with an illness when she came in my whole body was on fire" he seemed a bit scared for a second "Oh it's cause your a shadow dragon isn't it?" she nodded "The shadow dragon was a demon among the gods as she was the first to protect him, she loved him"
He bowed lowly to Yona who seemed a little lost much to Kagomes amusement however she soon felt a little uncomfortable when they bowed to her "Come on guys you don't have to bow I had enough of that when I first came here that dragon did nothing but bow and bow and bow it got annoying eventually I told him if he didn't stop I'd scorch him with hells hottest flames..." they all laughed.
"Master" Yona startled froze up only Kagomes conforting hands on her shoulder made her relax "What is your name?" "Yo..Na..." he smiled looking up at her only to frown seeing kagomes very much amused grin "You look more like a dog whose found his owner than the proud bearer of the white dragons blood" Yona interrupted them by leaning forward slightly "You're beautiful" Panicked he rejected her compliment "No..Not at all! You look far more divine" Turning away tp hide her blush "Oh my oh my!" turning serious she spoke again "I'm not your king or master, I am a scoundral who seeks the power of gods to protect herself and friends" a distinctly feminine cough caused her to change that sentence "Well some of them anyways" she glared at kagome only to find her standing behind the dragon instead "I ask that you grant your power first...Would that be all right?" a deadly sexy...Cough cough sorry...Smirk crossed his face "There would be no greater honour, no matter who you are or what your goals, I am now your dragon" he placed his dragon hand over his heart "That is what the dragon inside me says" "Elder I will leave immediately with my new master!" "Yes sir!" a shrill old voice stopped them "What are You Saying!" she knocked the elder over with her pedastel...Thing..."You must throw a banquest first!" she relaxed as Kagome spoke up "Obaa-sama!" She looked up into the tree to find kagome smiling nervously but waving down at her "I missed you!" "Me too child now get down here and recieve punishment for leaving without telling anyone!" "Ehehehehe I'm fine up here it's quite comfy..." scared shitless but not letting it show she simply smiled nervously while Kija chuckled maliciousluy from behind his Ryuu hand "Oh? Scared of a frail old woman are you?" she bared her teeth at him showing pearly white fangs "You were raised by her so you should know how she gets" he shivered nodding lightly "Mind if I join you?" she shrugged and he jumped up too both of them hiding from her wrath "Kija who're you calling a Frail Old Woman! Get dow here now!" "But obaa-sama! Me and Kija are bonding after all I haven't seen him in Ages!" she sighed before her carriers took her away and back into the building.
Kagome came across the dragons dwelling a little while later "I appreciate your efforts in protecting the princess but I will take over now" a tick mark appeared over his forhead "Eh?" Bringing out her fan kagome laughed Haughtily "Oho? Hka what's wrong you seem Tense? Did he try to outbuy you too?" "What he did it to you?" she shook her head "The previous dragon did his father tried to make me leave the village by paying me it was truly amusing" Hak took notice of her outfit "You've change clothes?" "Of course can't wear my armour to a party after all..." She twirled making the the cheongsam flutter ligtly it was black obviously with the four dragons imprinted onto it it revealed her cleavearge with a heart cut out and had a slit going right up to thigh "S...So...So Revealing..." Blushing a deep red Kija's nose began to bleed. Her hair was done in a half ponytail the bottom part of her hair was left naturally wavy to fall to her waist while the ponytail was starightened slightly before being held up by some blood red ornate pins.
"Come" they followed after the woman Kija being in a slight gaze. However when they arrived Kija and Hak were both angry and tense "Oh it looks serious...Obviously not life threatening if kagomes expression is anything to go by..." "Wow Onee-sama you look beautiful!" "Hak what's wrong?" "Princess he's useless we must find someone else.." Kija Retorted his arugement "You must leave! I can protect the princess by myself!" Yun looked to kagome who had a fan covering her lower face her shoulders were shaking and there was amusement and laughter in her eyes, he turned back to the argument "A sheltered kid like you wouldn't survive in the outside world." "Princess why does such a boorish man escort you!" his face was angry and pouty "What happened?" his question was direct at kagome as they turned to her. Sighing she snapped her fan shut "that pup said he would Pay Hak to leave.." they nodded "So? what's that bulge in your stomach?" his suspicious question cause hak to go defensive "Maybe I'm getting fat..." "It is the four dragons job to protect the princess those who aren't should leave!" Kagome immediately drew Yun into her embrace.
"You Can't Take Yun! He cooks good ha sa Brain and he's a healer Yun is useful!" "...Fine..." Kagome did a victory fist pump "Isn't that great Yun? I can annoy you now!" Yona however grabbed Hak "Hak's our childhood friend" "He's not my friend I hate him..." Kagome mumbled curses were ignored "Since I left the castle and was alone he's never abondoned me "Well you weren't alone then were you...? An what about me! I watched over you I gave you one of my Freaking Scales!" Yona sent an apologetic glance to the angry Dragoness "Hak's important to me!" Kija blinked suprisingly at her while hak blushed Getting arrogent Hak chuckled darkly "Well you know..That's that...It can't be helped" "Wow he's really happy..." Yona took the money pouch "I'm returning this" "If you insist" "But I need you too if your not there Hsk will die so I need you to protect Hak so he won't die" A thump from behind them and Yuns worried yell alerted them to Kagome who was holding her stomach on the floor shoulders shaking "Onee...Sama?" a loud bell like laughter cam from kagome her laughter lightening other peoples spirits too "Him! Protecting Hak! That will be Funny!" her laughter rang out everywhere as Hak helped her up supporting her body weight as she still chuckled "I see..." a happy aura enveloped him "You asked for my help because he's weak?" another stifled chuckled left kagome "Leave it to me I promise to protect you ad this man!"
Hak dropped Kagome to yona making them stumble a bit ebfore kagome caught them both, he slammed foreheads with Kija "No Thank you!" an angry aura consumed them both "I haven;t fallen so far that I need protection from a white snake!" "A white snake? Did you just call the scared dragon a White Snake?" they growled alerting kagome, she casually walked up to them assessing the situation before nodding to herself "Will you two..." Her tone dark and angry she grabbed their scruffs before slamming their heads together "Behave Already!" they both fell to their bums holding their aching heads.
Night had fallen and they all sat eating food well all except Kagome she sat there pouting 'There's no raw meat...' "Kagome-sama?" she looked up to find two blushing girls "We heard you don't like cooked meat so here" they handed her a bowl of diced raw beef, grinning she stood up hugging the two woman "Thank you girls you've me so happy!" she gave a sweet kiss to both their cheeks ebfore they ran off blushing and giggling as Kagome sat down and ate her meat "Mmmmm This is so good!" her mind was in euphoria so she didn't notice Kija looking at the bowl curiously "What are you eating?" "Raw meat remember the dragon in me is more demonic and prefers this over cooked food" "Could I...Try some?" she looked shocked before grabbing her hunters knife and cutting a piece in half before feeding it to him "Well?" he chewed for a while before her shrugged "It's not terrible" she smiled "That would be your dragon side who would find it pleasing"
"How many teasr have I shed waiting for this day...?" The elder covered his mouth tears flowing like a river "Yes ma'am..." "Oi don't cry on such a joyous occasion" "Yes ma'am"
The next morning they all stood at the edge of the village "I told you all didn't have to come see me off!" randome shouts of villagers made him smile "What're you saying? My master has appeared and she requires my power, the power that generations of Dragons have passed down for this day" "White dragon..." "If i let you spoil me on the day I depart I will incur the wrath of the heavens" "You'll certainly incur the wrath of a certain Shadow dragon if you don't move your ass along" "Onee-sama Language!" "Tch" she crossed her arms and huffed turning away "Kagome-sama don't be like that come on Smile for us!" deciding to mock the poor dragon Hak also inputted his word "Yes Kagome-Sama...Smile it will make your followers happy" he walked behind her and pulled the corners of her mouth stretching them into a smile "Hak..." "Yes Kagome-sama?" "Unless you never wnat children I suggest you let go of ones mouth" he took a few cautious stpes back releasing her before mocking bow "Your wish is my command Kagome-Sama" his teasing tone made her irritable but she ignored smiling lightly at the crowd coming to stand next to Kija.
"White Dragon! Kagome!" "Obaa-sama!" "Granny!" she seemed calm for a moment until suddenly her eyes opened and she thre random things at Kija "Kagome take this Beauty with you!" throwing a young man at her the dragoness could do noth but hold him "You'll need to relieve stress after fighting!" blushing a bright red she handed him back to his mother "Obaa-sama! I have no need of such things!" "Oh? Is that tall man in blue kseeping you satisfied?" Her blushing became deeper and deeper and haks arm around her shoulder didn't help "No Obaa-sama I'm not like that! You know this!" "You're still a virgin?" "No Obaa-sama...I'm married to our enemy..." she showed the enchanted ring "It wont come off no matter how hard I pull..." she looked at it for a moment "Kija take her ring off with you dragon hand" "Hai granny" he gave her an apologetic look before slanting his mouth to hers slipping the ring off when she relaxed, they pulled apart as Kija showed her the ring in the palm of his hand "See? You needed to be completely relaxed otherwise it wouldn't work..." Kagomes blush returned full throttle as she gave her a quick hug and peck on the cheek "I'll miss you Obaa-sama..." with that she bolted into the trees "I'll miss you too Child..."
A hugely touching moment between granny and Kija before they left coming across a forked road "Kagome it's safe now you can come out..." Said woman did walk out now in her full armor and with her mask on, which Kija took to instantly "wow what is it! It looks so pretty!" "This is my symbolic Kitsune maks after all I Am a trained spy and assassin" "Whoa Really! Cool!" she blushed though they couldn't see it "Yeah I guess it is..." "So which way?" "Yun did Ik-su tell you anything?" rubbing his noce he shook his head "I have no leads from here" she sighed her head sinking down "This is a problem" Kija smiled lightly "Your looking for the four dragons right?" "Yeah...Wait!" he looked startled "Can you do the same as Kagome and find them too?" "Yes I can" she clapped her hands "How conveniant!" "Conveniant?" "Neh What's your name?" "Huh?" "I mean everyone calls you white dragon but that isn't your nae so what is it?" "You can call me Kija" "That's a nice name" he smiled before Kagome ruined the moment grabbing their scruffs and dragging them "Come on we'll get left behind!" they both smiled before all three walked to Hak and Yun who were waiting.
