Chapter One : Dragon Bites/ Uknown Love

Why do I do this?

Why don't I just become a cook

Why do I choose to kill?

I never thought I could kill a human until that night, that night that I met her, she was an angel,

she was being chased by these horrible men, I guess they were trying to... I won't say. But,

when I saw her running in fear, I knew I had to do something, I ran towards them with my

sword shining against the moon light, hoping that I wouldn't fail. They looked at me, as if I were

a clown or something, and then they laughed, too bad they didn't realize that while they were

laughing, that I had stabbed every one of them in the heart. The girl, looked at me in fear.

I just didn't know what to do.

"I'm Shinji, you don't have to be afraid." I said, as I stretched my hand towards hers.

Reluctantly, she took it. Shaking it gently as if fearing that I would bite her if she let her guard down.

*Sigh* I knew I was in love. The softness of her skin, the sound of her voice as she said

"My name is -"

------------------------------------------------------------------

My thoughts were interrupted as my guardian shouted something at me.

After she repeated herself a few times I finally heard what she was saying.

"Shinji-kun, you've got a mission!!." Misato called from the kitchen.

"Ok Misato-san!!," I called from my room, getting dressed and preparing my weapons for

whatever I had to face later on.

"I'm ready Misato-san." I said as I got out of my room stumbling with my jacket that I had on

the wrong way blocking view of whatever was infront of me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"A-a Dragon?!" I yelled.

I wasn't really used to fighting things other than theives and such.

"I would of thought you wouldn't be so surprised." Misato said as they rode to the Rituma Kingdom.

"It's just that I haven't faced a dragon yet." I admitted quietly,

"Well then this'll be the first of many." Misato said encouragingly though failing.

"I don't know, there's something about dragons that creeps me out," I looked at the passing

ground as we continued on.

I saw Misato-san look at her map then at a cave.

Then I heard her say "We're here."

Just when I was going to get off my horse *Woosh* A streak of fire flew right passed me.

"Damn, it knows we're here." Cursed Misato.

I took out my sword and ran towards the cave.

"That's one brave kid." Misato said to herself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ahh!!!" I let out a war cry as he charged at the dragon.

I then realized that I couldn't see it because of the darkness, so I cast a magical torch that

glowed green and floated in the air. That's when I saw it, a giant eye.

I let out a scream of terror. But quickly regained my composure when the dragon tried to

claw my face off. I jumped backwards, letting loose a barage of energy balls at the creature.

But it had no affect on the dragon.

I tried to cast a tornado but it didn't work too well int he cave.

I paused to think, then remembered my sword. I ran at it sword in my hand, ready to stab it's

eye, just as I was about to hit it, I was pushed back with some magical force that I couldn't

trace.

I closed his eyes and hoped for a quick end. But, it never came. Slowly I opened my eyes

just in time to see a ball of ice came flying at the dragon, freezing it to the core.

*Crack* it broke into a million pieces when shards of ice came flying at it.

I stared at the figure, wondering who my savior was, then let out a gasp of fear as two red

eyes looked at me. She moved towards me, concentrating on my face.

Slowly she moved her face towards mine, as if she was going to kiss me.

That's when I just closed my eyes. Hoping that I wouldn't be harmed.

Soon, which I felt, was a bit too long, I felt a pair of lips against mine.

I opened my eyes and saw that she was indeed, kissing me.

When she broke it off, she smiled at me, and said "My name is Rei."
