Crystal of Love

RK and YYH don't belong to me.

Author's notes: Okay, so the dragon-Kenshin may seem… well, a little out there, but he has to have a kind of humanoid form, wouldn't seem strange for a young woman to fall in love with big old Asian looking dragon? Well, it is possible, but he has this one just for the sake of the story. And Kenshin may have been OOC in the last chapter, but this one will explain it.

Chapter 11: May my story be an explanation of the heart

~*~*~*~*~*

"I lived millenniums before this time, in a world filled with death and carnage, all easy pray for a dragon that needed to feast on the blood of young victims to survive. My kind was slowly dying off, with few of us left from the constant slaying swords of dragon slayers that vowed to kill off my entire race with their bare hands. It seemed to be lost in all that was going on during the time, and would now be forgotten in this time of peace and tension between the two dimensions—this one and the one below. All of this, though, would seem kind of pointless, but trust me, it is more important then you think.

"Long ago, while hunting, I cam upon a woman who had more courage and spunk then any one else I would ever meet until that day in this life where I found you falling from the sky." Said Kenshin, pointing a finger at Kaoru dully, as everyone around him drank tea and listened to his story. These were his only conditions when they got back to his home, he talk with no interruptions. So far, it was being followed. "I remember her most for the fact she excused me for being a pervert, for she was taking a bath at the time… only she had only taken her hair down from a her ponytail at the time.

"I was trying for a nice meal of blood that day, but all I got was a bump on my head and the sudden interest in a girl I barely knew. That changed in over a few months, as I grew to know the girl and understand what she did… All for the simple revenge of those who died unrightfully in the attack of her village home, one that would have been prevented if the men of the village hadn't been taken to fight the war that would create the nations of this world today.

"I soon found my self in love, as well as the last one of my race for I had been under the protection of her and her group. It had been no shock, for I thought—knew—that they wanted to die as they were, mere beings that no one cared to have around any more. I think that for a time, I also went through that stage, and it ended, once simple love vows were passed between two lovers."

Kenshin paused, to take a sip of tea from a cup that had been served to him at the beginning. His allowed his words to sink in; the soft words he had spoken had taken so much out of him. He loved his little one sense he first saw her, bathing in the small lake he used some times as well, the bright blue eyes looking at the "peeping tom" in anger when he fell out of the tree he had perched in when silently coming upon her. He only fell when she came out of the pond when she was done, his words from before a small lie, but still some what of the truth, his head hurt for a few days after that one. And suffered from a simple thing called love at first sight.

The dragon could tell that it also happened between Tsuki and Enishi, both of which were loyal to the word above—and his little maiden of the dark. They would be good additions to the group if they wanted to defeat Mita… he stopped in his thoughts there, the hatred for the man burning through his mind at a speeding race of time. This time, the man WOULD die, and not just come back from the dead for his little one.

"Word of our love seemed to "spread" to the ears of a single man that would over come to death to possess the one that belonged to me, and came would co1me with the challenge for me for the heart of the one we both wanted—in a match to the death. I had no choice but to accept the fight, but my little one wouldn't hear of it, but I went despite of that… I don't remember it clearly, but death came to me—or at least the part not dragon. I seemed to have split from the simple soul and the form of the dragon, and traveled through time to the present, to the form of a fair red head wife with child deep inside. She couldn't see nor sense me, but a small, old woman seem to, though I took no notice as I formed with the soul of myself, to be complete once again. And there I have slept for years until now, when I have been awaken from the fear of loosing one I have loved and found once more. That is my story."

Kenshin took another sip of his tea, enjoying the soft taste of green tea, made by the blue eyed sprite that he would continue to love for years and lives to come.

"Do you know what happened after your fight with Mita?" asked Tsuki, looking deeply into her teacup, as if trying to find the answer she wanted and not the one she already knew.

"No, anything beyond my "death" I don't know."

"Mita killed you, and then to my messiah, with the plain of taking all the power she owns—the power that would make the world turn the in the other direction, one that would stop the world forever—he wanted it all for himself, so he could rule the whole world. But she wouldn't allow it, she took not only his life long ago with the power that he wanted, but his youth and power and sentenced him to life powerless and old until dooms day.

"It has worked until this day, when your past life was taken by the darkness and taken to the new time, when you were reborn and taken into your new "life" in the world below. Mita some how knew of this, and he is the high priest of your "father" with the intent of getting you back for just your power so he can rule and not the darkness and you by its side."

Tsuki's words took Kenshin by surprise as his amber eyes widened before going full of heat and anger towards Mita and what he wanted to do. He wouldn't allow it.

"I'm sure if we join forces, we can stop him," whispered Kaoru, softly.

"Hai, hai, we just really have to fight the guards that are around him, then kill the man off with one quick cut of a dagger that is slathered with a poison that can kill anything," Tsuki said, clutching the tea cup with a force that could break it, and she did. Tea and blood covering her hand and spilling to the table.
"I personally have waited for this day to come… the day where I can get revenge for the friend he took from me with lies and petty tales of doing good." Omochi, I will bring honor to you so you can finally live your life once more the way you should.

"The guards are some of the best, while the man him self is frail and would be easily brought down with the right kind of poison," said Akira, most likely from memory, as he had seen the man most out of all of those in the room.

"The question, people," said Tomoe, getting the attention of everyone quickly, "Is how are we going to get there and do all this?"

~*~*~*~*~*

AN: Um… yeah, the story was kind of cheesy, and some things weren't really explained, and more complications between Omochi and Tsuki… once I even though about the two "running off" together, but I think that would just form evilness in Tsuki's heart toward me for making her break up with Eni-kun, so I wont, but I do have plains for the future between the trio, as well as Tisha and a new character.

As for dragon-Kenshin, he has this form, and then a small Asian looking dragon form and then the big old, huge Asian looking dragon form for all the big stuff. The small dragon form might come, but the big one… I don't know, we'll just have to see.

MoMo-ChAn: strange nickname… and "flame" too… but the first one I got too, even if it was kinda strange. This fic hasn't a lot to do with YYH, so you don't need to know a lot about it (the only two characters from the show who are in this fic is Kurama and Hiei).

Omochi: I think Kenshin has always been one not to piss off over the normal limit of pissing some one off… it just seems dangerous to do other wise. And is this updating soon enough?

Tsuki: Okay, in this fic you get to him first (in the other one up by me on ff.net, the character I based on me got to him first… As well as this other one I've thought of doing, in fact I have a first chapter floating around on my computer some where, I also get with Eni-kun! He is just too cute of a character to let go of! ^.^). I'll try the rkforums thing. Thanks!

Jay: I fixed the katana thing in the last chapter, thanks. The dragon thing, I hope it was explained, but I've just always liked the humanoid dragon form that the other writer had, and I just had to borrow it. And I'll try my best to revise it to the best of my ability. The clothes thing, from my point of view, a dragon wearing a hakama and a gi… is nothing compared to a dragon wearing a what ever it was he's wearing would be way better. And Kenshin seeming odd with child like amber eyes, he really cares for Kaoru is scared that she wouldn't understand.

Thanks for reviewing! And, which nickname is better, Aku-sama or Kupo-chan?
