"I have come to pick you up, Tetsuya." A scarlet dragon with a fiery red mane and a pair of piercing golden eyes, was flapping his wings, creating a strong gust of wind almost blowing the person in front of him away.

It was common knowledge that the red dragon who possessed golden eyes was the king of all dragons in the world and all of the humans before the current rider failed to tame him because it was either they were too weak or too arrogant. And none of them were exactly compatible to him. He also found some disgusting humans among them who wanted him for his blood because there was a rumour about how only a royal dragon's blood could bring immortality to the one who drank it. What rubbish. They had tried to inflict a wound on him to collect a drop of his blood but they were slashed before they could take a step towards him. As if he would give his blood freely to anyone. Sure, his blood has medicinal features with an ability to cure a number of diseases but to give immortality to a human, that was bullshit because even a dragon could die of old age.

He landed smoothly on the ground, lying low for his rider to climb over his head to his body where the rider would sit and give him orders whether to attack or to stay back.

After so many years of searching, he finally found someone with a pure heart who was compatible with him. He had approached the human and asked whether he would like to be his rider. At first, the bluenette refused him politely, saying that he was not interested. The second time he persuaded him, he had given him an excuse, saying that even if he was chosen, he had no idea whatsoever about riding a dragon. What more, to ride one to battle against the evil which was spreading rapidly day by day. Akashi managed to convince him that he would teach him and he would not let him fall during flight lessons. So finally, Kuroko Tetsuya relented.

"You're late," his rider commented, his facial expression blank as ever.

"Better late than never," he retorted as the man clutched his mane to swing his body over the dragon's head. He slid down to the dragon's back, patting the creature in affection.

"Now, let's join the others and win this battle." Kuroko kissed the dragon on one of its wing where a symbol similar to his own on his forehead appeared.

"And after this, you would give me a reward?"

"Yes, I would let you make love to me only if you promised not to scare me again by suddenly sprouting your enormous wings during our throes of passion because that would be such a turnoff."

"Deal."

If you must know, dragons can transform into humans after binding a contract with his rider and their riders can turn into dragons too. Legend says that a dragon and his rider are fated to be together and it is natural for them to fall in love with each other. So, don't get surprised if you see one and their human counterpart talking about sex. Because it is normal.
