Ch14 Karyu has Returned
"Houryu, Chiryu, and Kiryu." Kei sobbed. "It's not his fault."
"No, Kei-sama, it is his fault." The red dragon spoke.
"No, Houryu, Kei-sama is right. He didn't leave on purpose, you know." The brown dragon said.
"Yeah, Houryu, calm down a bit." The green dragon said.
The 2 dragons, brown and green watched Houryu scream his head off to Karyu.
"You know what! No, it wasn't your fault that the stupid thief took you, and it's our fault that we couldn't save you. But, it is your fault for not coming back to us!" Houryu kept yelling. "Kei-sama was so worried about you! Why didn't you come back?! You stupid idiot!"
"NO! It's not his fault." Kei started. "He has a memory charm casted on him right now. Besides, he was a baby!"
"Memory charm? I don't care. As a member of the Kei's dragon clan, he should've tried to save himself!" Houryu said.
"Well." Kei started, but was cut off.
"What are you talking about?" Karyu was saying, and everyone else nodded.
"So, Kei, you recognize this dragon?" Geo asked, looking up at Karyu.
"Yes." Kei answered weakly.
"Wait, what is this memory charm?" Eagle asked.
"Yeah, I want to know too." Hikaru said.
"Me too" Celes asked Kei, "Tell me everything you know, Kei-sama"
"Ok." Kei looked up with cheerless eyes. "It was long in the past, when I got my 4th dragon egg."
~flash back~
"Thank you Mother, thank you Father!" A little girl was prancing around a house with a huge rock like thing clutched in her hands. The mother and the father smiled, and kept watching the little girl dance. A little boy was there also. It was Geo. He was smiling. Then, the little girl turned to her mom and dad. "May I please go to the dragon cave, and leave this there in the care of my other dragons?" Apparently, the girl was Kei, with the dragon egg.
"Sure, but be careful!" The mother said in a sweet voice, kissing her daughter's forehead.
"Now, don't go off somewhere else, ok? Understood, young girl?" The father said.
"I'll see you later; I have to wash the dishes!" Geo said, and went inside.
"Ok!" As the little Kei said this, she skipped in to the woods with the dragon egg still clutched in her hands. As soon as she was out of sight, both mother and father turned into silvery dust.
The little Kei did not notice that, for she was focused on the dragon egg more than anything right then. She kept walking until she came upon a cave. Then, she yelled 3 names. "Houryu, Kiryu, and Chiryu, come here really quick!" 3 dragons, about the size of a very large dog came. "Now you guys," Kei started, showing the egg to them. "I want you guys to take care of this dragon egg for me, ok? I know that you aren't really full-grown and all, but I can't keep it at my house. So please, will you?" Kei looked up to her other dragons.
"Sure thing, Kei-sama" The baby Houryu said, sniffing at the egg. "You know Kei-sama, it looks like this is a water dragon."
"It is? Cool! Then I can think of names! Umm water, water, water." Kei was thinking hard. "What about."
"Karyu." The brown baby dragon spoke. "Kei-sama, I think Karyu is a very excellent name for the water dragon."
"Ok, so Karyu it will be. Welcome to our family, Karyu!" The little Kei said, petting the egg. The 3 dragons and the little girl talked a little more about what they should do, and what to feed it. They stopped when they heard a rustling noise behind them.
"Kei-sama, get behind us with the egg." The green dragon spoke, going into a defensive dance, while the others, in attack stance. Kei nodded, and grabbed the egg and went behind the 3 dragons. There was more rustling noise, and 4 men jumped out behind the bushes.
"Give me that egg!" One of the men lounged at Kei, but was stopped by a unexpected claw slashing movements on his back. The brown dragon had slashed the man's back. The attacker fell to the ground, groaning in pain. "Why you little.owww."
Then, the next attacker ran to the dragons. "I would like to get the grown ones, as well!" The man got a knife out, and tried to get Houryu, but stopped in horror. Because Houryu stood up on his back legs and he was as large as him. Maybe even a little bigger. "Hehehe." The man laughed weakly, and turned around, and ran like his life depended on it. It did, anyways. Then, Kei heard some screaming noise and falling noises. Apparently he had tripped over something. Kei looked up at Kiryu. The green dragon was focusing his mind where the man ran. Kiryu has the emblem nature, so he could use the nature to go against, or help.
"Now, come here, little girl. Bring me that egg, and I'll give you a treat?" Another man was coming closer, talking in a soft sweet voice. Just too sweet voiced. Kei was not that stupid when she was small.
She said, "The only reward will be death, huh? I'm no dummy. I see your knife behind you. And no, I won't give this to you!" She hugged the egg.
"Give that to me!" The man ran straight at the girl and tried to attack, but was also stopped by fire breath Houryu emitted. The man was an inch away from being scorched. He cranked his head towards Houryu.
"Next time, I won't miss." Houryu sneered in a devilish grin. The man looked at Houryu in horror, and ran for his life. He climbed up the cliff, but soon, there was a earth quake, and he fell with the rock.
"Erg!" the man knocked down to the ground, unconscious. Chiryu had used his earth commands.
"Kei-sama, are you ok?" Chiryu asked, turning around to see that no one was there. "Kei-sama?!"
"What's wrong?" Houryu turned around, and froze in horror too.
"Kei-sama!" Kiryu yelled. "Where are you!?"
The 3 dragons stood still for a while, listening carefully for any sound. There was rustling sound behind them. When they turned around, they saw one of the men, carrying unconscious Kei with one arm, while he carried the egg on the other.
"Hahaha! Suckers!" He yelled, as he ran.
"You!" Houryu roared and spat out fire.
"What? Don't be so rude, or this girl will be dead!" The man said. Houryu stopped with his roars, and sat down. "That's it! Hahaha!" Kiryu closed his eyes, and tried to maneuver some vines to get Kei, but failed, for there was no way to get Kei back without hitting the man, and grabbing her. The result will be the same. They will hurt Kei-sama in one way or another. Chiryu will not be able to do anything either, for if he does earthquake on him, Kei and the egg might get hurt. Houryu defiantly can not help, for he might burn Kei with him. The dragons looked at the running man helplessly.
The man ran and ran until he was really tired. He didn't go very far, for he had a girl and a huge egg with him. He didn't see that the 3 dragons hiding behind the bushes. Just as they were about to attack, they heard a crackling noise. The egg was hatching! Out popped the nose, then the head, and half of the body was out. He was looking for it's mother. The hatchling moved his head about, sniffing the air. The man just stood there, watching the dracling in horror. Kei was stirring, and the dracling saw. His first moving sight was Kei. Now, he thinks that she is the mother. He edged towards Kei, and nudged her. Kei opened her eyes slowly, and saw the dracling staring at her.
"Kya!" She jumped. Then she looked at the dracling, and then to the egg. She saw that he must be Karyu. "Karyu!" The dracling cocked his head. He didn't know what his name was, and didn't know how to talk or even understand. The man tried to grab Kei, and she didn't notice. The dracling noticed though. He lounged at the man, and gave him a big scratch mark on his cheek.
"Erg!" The man screamed, and the other dragons lounged at him.
"You little freak! Leave Kei-sama alone!" Houryu yelled. As soon as he was about to breath fire, there was an earthquake, and Karyu was being hauled up to an air balloon. He was captured!
"Karyu!" Kei yelled. "Come back!" As soon as the other dragons saw that, they flew up at the balloon, and popped it. Houryu caught Karyu, and flew down. Everyone watched the balloon fly away. Houryu handed (Clawed?) Karyu back to Kei, and Kei cuddled him. "Oh, good to have you back!" She hugged the little newborn dragon.
"Thank goodness, your all right." Kiryu sighed in relief.
"Are you sure?" came a voice behind them. There was a gust of wind, and the dragons fell to the ground, sleeping.
"Kiryu! Houryu! Chiryu!" Kei screamed, running towards them. Karyu also had fallen asleep.
"Hahaha!" There was a evil laughing noise behind her. As soon as she turned around, she saw a woman, and nothing else.
~end flashback~
"Wait, so Karyu is your dragon?" Eagle asked.
"Uh huh." Kei sobbed.
"." Geo was still deep in his thoughts, for he was in shock that if he didn't have to wash the dishes, she wouldn't have gone through this. He was so mad at himself for not noticing that the dragon was missing. "Kei, I remember you saying that the dragon was dead?"
"No, I lied. I was ashamed of myself that I didn't save the dracling." Kei said, still sobbing. "I'm sorry!"
"Wait, was that little boy you?" Umi asked Geo.
"Yeah, we are kind of like brother and sister, but not blood related." Geo said. "Wait, I remember something else."
~Flash back of Geo~ (Only him, not any one else)
"Kei!" Geo was screaming. There was a black hole right in front of him. "Kei!" He yelled again into the black hole. He saw her fall into it. "Kei!"
~End flashback~
"Geo?" Kei asked.
Going back to reality, he said "huh? Oh, nothing. I'm fine." He really wasn't nothing made sense in his mind. After that missing dragon accident, he remember Kei being pulled into the black hole, but nothing else after that.. 'What happened?' He thought to himself. Suddenly, there was thoughts flowing inside him from somewhere.
'Sorry Geo, I erased every memory of yours until you met Eagle and all. I guess you remembered everything, huh?' It was God. He was talking to Geo in his mind.
'No, it's fine.' He answered.
"Geo?" Kei asked again. "Are you ok?"
"Huh? Oh. Yeah." Geo stammered.
"No! It's not true!" Karyu was shaking his head. "No! I won't believe that!" All of a sudden, Karyu reared up onto his hind legs, and roared. The pillars of the shrine was collapsing!
