Condemned
Chapter III:
Dark finished putting the new clothes and looked up to see the blonde looking him over. His face betrayed no emotion, Dark wondered whether he was just stretching or he was watching him change. Dark blushed, he tried to avoid the dragons face so he wouldn't see the blush on his face. "Why am I here? Why are YOU here?" The dragon smirked, "To help you..." Dark raised an eyebrow, "Dragons helping people, I'm sorry but dragons and help don't go in the same sentence together." "I like revenge." answered the dragon. Dark looked at him, "You'll help me get revenge?" "If you want me to," the dragon said. He gave Dark a cold smile that made him shiver, Dark looked at him, "Why?" The dragon smiled, "Because I hate it when dumbasses like you screw it up, you want help or not?" "Yes...wait...did you just call me a dumbass!?"
The dragon just continued to smiled, "Who do hate the most?" Dark looked at his shoes, "Hikari, the head of the Hikari." The dragon nodded, "Very well." Dark explained his situation and how the Hikari wanted his house to expand his shop and the dragon listened. Finally the dragon spoke, "We should go inside now, you're going to get sick, you humans are quite fragile." Once inside, the dragon returned to his original form and curled up like a cat. "Oi, you awake?" Dark asked, the dragon opened an eye and gave him the stop-talking-do-you-have-any-idea-how-annoying-you-are glare, "Are you a mute in dragon form or something? You could've said something." The dragon got up and changed to human form and grabbed Dark's arm, "Of course I can't talk human when I'm in dragon form! Can YOU speak dragon you human." Dark objected, "Human aren't beasts or uncivilized, at least I'm not!" "They are to me, they sacrifice people for their own safety and they start wars amoung themselves, you've experienced being sacrificed, and yet you still argue about it!" the dragon shouted, "Humans are just about the stupidest creatures in the world, not to mention arrogant and bastards!"
"Stupid, arrogant AND bastards!?" Dark was too angry to notice that the golden dragon was naked in front of him, "Are you calling me stupid!?" The dragon held his face close to his, "Don't anger me, I may just change my mind about helping you pathetic human." Violet eyes flashed angrily, "You think I'm afraid of you!? You think I'm afraid of death? I'd welcome it with open arms! If I'm so stupid and pathetic that you can't stand me then I'm going to sleep outside, see if I care. I don't need your help." And Dark stormed off outside to where he had landed. He flopped onto the wool stack and thought about his village, Daisuke, his parents, the twins. Tears poured out of his eyes, 'I don't cry...I miss them...'
In the morning Dark woke up when the sun was just rising, he saw that someone had covered a blanket over him, he went inside and looked around, no sign of the dragon; he walked around and smelled fresh baked bread. He heard a noise and turned around quickly, it was the dragon, sitting there and watching him, "Don't do that. Stop starring." He didn't look annoyed, amused and he didn't look like he was about to comply. Dark sighed and asked, "What's this?" "It's called bread incase you have never eaten a loaf before," the dragon said. "You know, wheat, and flour and other ingredients all mushed and baked, I personally don't know why you would like it, it's too dry."
Dark rolled his eyes, "I mean...dragons...you can cook?." He then got the strangest idea of the dragon in an apron baking a cake. The dragon shook his head and continued to look at him, "Got it someplace by some village." "Bought it?" "Che, as if, I borrowed it," he corrected him. "I didn't know how long you might last without food, if you didn't wake up soon I would have thought you were dead. Did I mention you seemed to be crying?" Dark ignored the last part and poured himself some stew, "Gee thanks..." he spoke quietly, and started to eat. After he finished, he asked the dragon, "Oi, if we're going to work together, I'd rather call you by a name other then "Perverted dragon." The dragon looked at him, "You can call me Krad." "Krad..." Dark repeated, "I'm Dark." "It suits you well." "What's that suppose to mean?" Krad had already turned around without answering.
"Is there anyone that lives in the next village right next to here?" Dark thought for a moment before raising his hand to his cheek where he'd been slapped twice, "The church master." He shivered at the thought of those greedy little eyes looking him over. "Right, let's go there first. We'll have to go as silbings." "Brothers!?" "Are you deaf, or do you just enjoy repeating what I say? Unless you'd like to dress up like a girl and act as a sister, I'm sure everyone would fall for it...actually, that might work better..." Dark gritted his teeth, "I get it! I get it!" 'This is for revenge this is for revenge.' He thought.
Dark thought they would be off to the village right away but Krad told him, "Wait here." "For what?" "You said we'd need money, also known as cash." "Ah," Dark said, "which you have..." Krad gave a perfectly charming smile, "Hell a lot of." "Wouldn't it be faster if I went with you?" The dragon shook his head, Dark sighed and smiled, "You don't trust me, somehow that's not surprising." Krad just smiled back. By the time they got to the gates, it was closed. Dark huffed, "Now what, Mr. I-don't-trust you-enough." Just then a guard appeared and asked them, "What do you want?" Dark looked at the man, "To get into the town?" "How do we know you're not the demon?" "Demon?"
"The one that killed peoples' souls to sacrifice to Satan seems like she's been looking for another victim's soul to sacrifice." Krad looked up at the guards, "Do we look like demons? Let alone women." The guards looked at Dark and whispered. 'Why do people think I'm a girl!? In what way do I look like a girl!? I am NOT a girl!' Dark thought angrily, he collected himself and stood there waiting. "The gates open tomorrow." "The bandits," Dark spoke, Krad looked at him as did the guards, "The bandits were hunting us down, they raided our village. We couldn't stay another hour." 'And for effects...' Dark sniffled and rubbed his nose and clung onto Krad's arm like a little boy. Krad raised an eyebrow at the gesture and stopped himself from giving the boy a what-the-hell-are-you-doing look.
"How old are you boys?" "Sixteen." Dark answered quickly, the guards looked at Krad, "Aniki's eighteen." The guards grumbled, and opened the gates, "Hurry up already." "You got any relatives here?" Dark shook his head, "No, but we have some money for an inn." One of the guards told them, "Foxfire Inn is your best choice, it's cheap and they serve the best food around here, you'll be lucky to get a room, but if you tell your story to the innkeeper, he's a softy, he'll be able to spare you a room." They nodded their thanks and were off.
They reached the inn and Dark asked, "Do we even have money, I mean not so valuble money? All I saw was way too much gold and silver." Krad rolled his eyes, "You think all I have is gold and silver in my loot?" Krad gave him the you're-dumber-than-I-thought look when Dark nodded, and followed Krad into the inn. They went to the inn keeper Dark spoke, "Me and my brother were looking for a room." The innkeeper raised a brow. Dark added quickly, "Our village was destroyed in a bandit raid, we came here looking for work. I think we have enough money to stay for the night." He stepped on Krad's foot, who put a few pieces of copper on the table. The innkeeper looked at the copper and told them, "I'm sure we can find you a room, it's almost full for tonight, lucky you didn't step in a second later, lads."
The innkeeper called out to one of the maids and told her to set up a room, "This way please." She spoke shyly. In the room there was only one bed, it was large but there was only one. "Why's there only one bed?" The girl answered, "This is the last room left, and you're brothers right? And you asked for a room." Dark nodded, the girl left the room and he screamed, "What!? I HAVE TO SHARE A BED WITH YOU!? You sleep on the floor!" Krad looked at him and gave him that as-if look, Dark gave up but added, "Don't you dare try to pull any stunts you perverted dragon!" Krad looked at him amused but nodded. They both faced opposite ways and fell asleep.
