Greedy Decisions
Disclaimer: Dragon Knights belongs to Mineko Ohkami. Notes: Also to those who reviewed you have my thanks. Oh and No your wrong Lord Sesshy is mine and no I don't need to watch more movies because...I don't so there! Also, I thought only Gil died...well I guess it does make sense that Kai's Gil. I mean Batman's Superman in disguise and Lex Luthor's Clark Kent! And Noone, if you read the beginning of the 1st chapter again
it'll say that Rune was sent on a mission.
"I still don't see why every time a demon goes by Rath has to go off and kill it." A few officers nod their heads in agreement and continue walking. A Dragon Fighter stops and looks over to his right, Rath is slowly trudging his way over a hill, dazed and stumbling with leaves in his hair.
"Where ya been buddy?" Thatz questions. The Dragon Knight of Fire stumbles past the gawking crowd with out looking up, as they see Fire write a question mark on his paper. "You feeling ok?" Thatz places a hand on Rath's shoulder, causing the Fire Knight to flinch and look up with a terrified expression on his face. The Dragon Knight of Earth gasps in shock as Kitchel leans over his shoulder saying, "whoa what happened to you?" She doesn't get a reply as Rath turns around, trembling and walking off to his quarters. ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
The next morning while Rath sleeps restlessly, a meeting being held by Lykouleon. "I have been informed that some of you saw Rath act a little astray from his normal behavior." With calm demeanor and reserve, he looks at each one of the officers, fighters and knight as he speaks, "I myself am unable to comprehend what has happened to our fellow dragon. At this, I propose we not pester him and leave him be." The Dragon Lord clears his throat and looks over to Thatz, who at that exact moment made a rumbling sound from his stomach. "If he chooses to speak, listen to him and do as much as you are possibly able to help him. This council is adjourned....and have a good breakfast." At the last part of his sentence, Lykouleon beams a smile and winks towards Thatz's direction. ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ "But what do you thing we can do?" Lykouleon sighs as Alfeegi grunts in response, shifting through his paperwork. "There's just too much work to handle that boy." Lykouleon smiles and tries to reassure the White Dragon Officer, "now, now Alfeegi. It is a hassle but oyu have to remember...this is Rath we're talking about."
"Yes my Lord." Alfeego sighs again and finds what he was looking for. He takes it out of the pile of paper in his arms and slams it down on the Dragon Lord's desk. "There is too much money being spent from the treasury and I want to know on what!" Lykouleon chuckles, rests his elbows on his desk, and reposes his chin in his cupped hands as he thinks to himself, "he's just so adorable when he gets angry." ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ Thatz stomps his foot in irritation and shouts, "how can you say that!? You're a knight too!" Rune sighs heavily and looks down at the floor. "Stop it Rune! I know...I care for Rath too but he has the right to his own time to himself."
"But its just like you said..." The Dragon Knight of Water looks up ans stares at the other knight in the room. "He hasn't exited once out of his room in three days, no food, no water, nothing." Thatz motions as if he's going to protest but drops his hand to his side and remains silent. After a few moments, the blonde walks over to the redhead and places a hand on his shoulder to reassure him. "Don't worry. We can check on him and if he's not fine then we head straight for the Lord, agreed?" Thatz looks up and nods his head. ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Rath is huddled up in his bed with all the curtains closed and the lights off. He hasn't changed out of the clothes he was in three days ago and abandoned Fire and Crewger in the hallway. Two knocks are head on the door but the Fire Dragon Knight is too dazed to notice.
A pause, then the door slowly creaks open, letting light bathe the room in brightness. Rune peeks his head in, followed by a certain curious redhead. "Rath its us, can we come in?"
No reply.
"Just open the door Rune, its not like he's a scared child we don't know." The Dragon Knight of Water silently agrees and steps in. Both knights walk up to their companion and stop at the foot of his bed. "Rath? Rath you wanna get some food?"
No reply.
Rune glances over to his other friend and then Rath's hunched figure. "Rath you don't have to keep it int. You can tell us, cant you?" He sits down on the bed and looks into the Fire Knight's hollow eyes. "Its like he's not even here mentally. What could have done this to him?" Rune thinks to himself, while still starring into those empty pools of red. "Rune?" The knight in question turns his head to glance at the ex-thief, a worried look on his face. "I cant get any feedback...I don't know what to do Thatz."
"Well..." The red head begins, pondering for a few seconds. "He just got back an hour ago, we could ask Kai-Stern to talk to Rath." At Ka- Stern's name, the Fire Dragon Knight launches his head up and stares horror stricken at Thatz. Tetheus is doing his normal rounds on duty when he hears a terrified yell from the other side of the castle, he instantly turns a corner and races towards the commotion. ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"NO!" Rath shakes his arm free from Rune's grip and stands on his bed, losses his balance and falls over backwards. The other two knights in the room gasp in shock as Run leans over the side of the bed to peer at Rath. "But all I said was-"
"Don't!" The Fire Dragon Knight stands up and at that exact moment, the sleek haired Tetheus storms in. "Who yelled?" All three knights look at the officer as he repeats himself, "answer me knights, who yelled?" Thatz immediately points an accusing finger at Rath, who's just standing there panting heavily. The Black Dragon Officer takes a step closer but the Fire Dragon Knight backs away, the look of fear still on his face and in his eyes.
The door swings open again, this time Lykouleon enters, followed by all who heard the scream. "Rath calm down," the Dragon Lord walks past his officer and the other knights, "if you wish, you can speak privately with me in my office or here..." His face loses its warm smile and gains a serious tone as he finishes, "but you will not continue like this and endanger yourself. Do you understand?" There is total silence as all spectators gaze on a t the scene before them. Minutes go by, Rath's pants have gone down to long, laborious intakes of breath. Finally, after what seemed like centuries, the Dragon Knight confronts his lord. "I..." As he's about to speak, a grumbling in the crowd is heard and Kai-Stern's face emerges. "Kai..." Rath flinches and hugs himself tightly. All the viewers turn from Rath to Kai-Stern, back to Rath in confusion. Lykouleon turns to the crowd as he's assessing the situation and speaks, "leave and go back to your normal operations. I will take care of this matter myself. As the crowd leaves in groans of disappointment, the Dragon Lord turns to Tetheus and the other two knights. "You may also leave, Rath will not be harmed, be assured of that." he smiles warmly as the knights look to one another for the guidance and decide to leave their friend in good hands. ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Outside the Dragon Castle perimeters, a demon chuckles and disappears in a wisp of smoke.

Hey I just wanted to tell all of you that since this chapter is becoming so
long and that I don't have the time to type it in time, (considering my
birthday's on the 8th) I've decided to update the 1st half of the 2nd
chapter now and finish typing the rest when I've got the time.
Please don't be too mad at me!! Gomen Nasai!
