Zousan and Hikyuu

Sairyu walked on for the rest of the night. As nature entered morning the peaceful senery he saw when he first started changed to a rocky frozen land of stone. The rocky land eventually became mountains as he walked on. After a few hours of walking through the mountains, Sairyu came into the 'heart' of the mountains and stopped. As the wind blew he put his cloak in his pack strecthing out his large black wings and long black tail. He grabbed his pack and started up the mountain, after about eighty feet or so he found a cave and flew into it.

It was pitch black inside the cave. Nothing was visible except the outside.

"In Lor" Sairyu muttered putting his hands on his eyes. His vision became suddenly brighter and he could see that the cave was ordinary except for the huge hole in the middle. Bringing his wings close to him, Sairyu dived into the hole. After seconds of his jump, Sairyu glided into an opening were there was nothing but ice for floor and walls when he landed. He chivered and cautiously walked on.

"I'm tired of this" he said to himself, "Vas Flam!" and a fireball egnited from his hand melting all the ice in the frozen hall. The fireball seemed to go on and on until it vanished. He walked on for about an hour until he came to a huge opening. The room looked enormous for a cave. It was an icy palace with everything frozen in sight, including the expensive looking furniture. There was a big hole in the middle of the roof that looked like it went on for miles all the way up. "Darn I could have taken the short cut, ah well."

Suddenly there was a rumbling feeling, it seemed as though the entire mountain was trembling. As Sairyu leaned against the east wall where the trembling grew more violent. The wall started to feel as though it was on fire and it looked like ice. Sairyu backed away looking like he found what he was looking for. For a few heart beats everything was quiet, then steam rose from the wall and a fiery tornado blasted from it. The flames seemed to vanish before getting anywhere near the west wall.

"And of course it was a purr-fect guess!" yelled someone from the steam. As the steam cleared a young maiden walked into the center of the room. She had fairly short red hair with cat ears. The weird thing about her eyes was that they looked so cat-like that the blue in them was brought out with whatever emotion she became. She wore a studded bustier that looked like it was made out of serpent scales with a big ruby in the center. She also had on dark red boots and gloves with a little felione fur on her wrists. Her red cat tail swung from side to side as though she was in a good mood. A golden ring with ancient writing on it was on her left arm. After looking around a few seconds she spotted Sairyu.

"Hey I was hoping you died on that stupid trip of yours!" she yelled to him.

"Well there was no one who saw killing me an easy job!" he yelled back. "And since when is that a way to greet an old friend?" he asked.

"Since I was old enough to have old friends!" she yelled at him. "And just for the record I still don't like you!"

"Why do you always have to yell?" he asked calmly, "nevermind I forgot a leopard never changes her spots. So how have you been Hikyuu?"

She ran over to him and looked him in the eyes "You didn't call me by my full name, why?" she asked calmly.

"Because I believe you asked me not to a while back." he said "Did you come here looking for Zousan to?"

"Well duh!" she exclaimed "I wanted to see how he was doing ok!"

" I thought you guys saw each other every week, wow, i really have been gone to long." he replied.

"Well since he froze himself a few months back he hasn't come back yet" she said with a worried look on her face " and well i was afraid something happened to him so I ran here as quickly as I could." She looked as if she had been hurt by a wound in the chest and didn't keep eye contact with Sairyu for long.

"Well then lets go wake him up!" he said " I mean he still has a promise to keep."

"ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?!" she asked in surprise " He specifically said NOT to wake him up!!" She yelled.

"Well one you look to worried about him right now," he said calmly as he started to walk toward the throne chairs " and two, something like that has never stopped me before so why should it now?" he asked.

"Well ok but it was entirely your idea" she said following.

"It usually is isn't it?" he said to himself. Once they got to the throne chairs Sairyu crouched down and looked around the chair for something.

"Looking for this?" she asked holding up a rune with markings inscribed on it. "It was under special protection of the queen of the mountain." She smiled as she gave it to him.

"Thank you" he said and he spread the throne chairs apart standing in the middle and kneeled on one knee. "Touch my shoulder Hikyuu" as she slowly did so a circle began to glow around them "Kal Ort Por" Sairyu murmured. A flash of light blinded them for a moment and then they were suddenly in a small chamber in the center of which was frozen ice connecting the ceiling and floor. As they approached the icy thing they noticed someone inside the ice.

Frozen solid with the ice was a person in a dark blue robe and pale skin. His eyes were closed but his hair was a short icy blue. He was fairly tall and looked to be about a little older than Sairyu.

"Zousan!!!" Hikyuu cried with such passion in her voice that would have caused the evilest of demons to hesitate before their foe. "Zousan well get you out of their I promise!" she cried and then turned to Sairyu "Can you get him out of there?" and for the first time Sairyu noticed the tender care in her eyes which took him by surprise. He was so moved that he was immediately thinking about his flame that made him want to live life.

"Well if I don't I'll blow up the mountain trying." he muttered to her after a breif moment of hesitation. "Now let's see what spell..... oh hell let's try this." he chuckled. "So glad theres not a dragon for miles around."

Hikyuu moved back behind Sairyu, at that he put his first two fingers up on each hand with his hands together and moved them about in an accurate sort of way as he chanted :

"Darkness beyond twlight

Crimson beyond blood that flows

Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows

I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand

Before this mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hands

Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed

By the power you and I posses

DRAGONSLAVE!!!"

A beam of light and energy shot from his right pointer finger and hit the icy link in the center of its' thick layering. Then all were blind for a few seconds of which Sairyu and Hikyuu felt a warm feeling defrost them. Smoke covered much of their sight after the light then as the covering smoke and light dissappeared the saw a figure fell to the ground.

"Zousan!!" yelled Hikyuu as she ran to the fallen body "Zousan can you hear me ?!?! Please don't be dead." She started checking for a pulse and he stirred a little. "Zousan your alive!" she cried embracing him in her arms. "Don't ever do that to me again!" she yelled, "you could have been killed if it weren't for" she hesitated "if it weren't for..." as she trailed off Zousan looked as though he were trying to put a very confusing puzzle back together.

"Hikyuu" he tried to breath "your crushing my weak lungs."

She stopped squizeing him and helped him up "Sorry," she said, "but you had me so worried! and you know that I'd go to the abyss and back for you!"

Zousan looked around the room "thought I had this place sealed..." then he spotted Sairyu, "Well look whos back from his trip! So that's how she got in here." Hikyuu gave him a look that told him not to joke now "so how ya been Sairyu? It's been a long time since we last saw each other."

"Ah, can't complain" he said "I got by and finally made it home, so why were you locked in the ice chamber again?"

"AGAIN?!?!?!" Hikyuu cried " you mean that wasn't the first time you went in there!"

"Well yea and I had to get busted out by Sairyu the last time which turned out pretty good in the end." he replied, "It's good to see you Sairyu."

"And you," said Sairyu, "I think though that you should spend time with a certain someone for a while." he said looking a Hikyuu happily squizeing Zousan again though this time he didn't seem to mind, "So I guess I'll see you guys in the next village?"

"You don't have to go yet" Zousan replied "but if you insist I guess we'll see you in a few days ok?"

"Fine with me, See ya" said Sairyu, and with that Sairyu left the two alone.
