Eye of the Dragon

(sitting at a desk looking slightly professional)

Well...I have received several little "complaints" from a Mr. K. Fraser about Panoru. And I am here to answer them. I have been under fire from Mr. Fraser for quite a while. No really, look at his reviews. I (fortunately) have Leviathan Mail and 50 Spell Defense, so I've been okay. I actually hold him in some sort of respect because of the fact that he actually has an identity and doesn't cower behind an anonymous name. But I am disgusted because he will not e-mail me directly. Oh well. Here are the answers to a few of his questions...the rest will be explained in the chapter. Anshi will take over.

/Okay. If you have read vol. nine of the manga, you would see that Subaru hugged Kamui, then Kamui hugged him, then he LET Sorata hug him. Kamui barely knew Subaru, and yet he hugged him./

And the notes...The notes in the little random places actually help. Until you said something, no one complained and they thought that the little jokes I slip in here and there were nice.

I also wonder if you only read fics to just nit-pick them and mutter about how incorrect they are. I am entitled to warp this storyline as much as I want. Now...if you have any further complaints, send it to my e-mail:

Now...without further ado...here's the fic for those who read to enjoy.

Eye of the Dragon

The Dream Realm

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Panoru came to after what seemed like an eternity, but was only a matter of minutes. She was in a dark room, a cold dark room. She was naked, and there was a collar with a long silver chain around her neck and handcuffs around her wrists. She looked around and listened for any for of life. She was unsure of where she was, and her head throbbed. Not wanted to think anymore, she closed her eyes and fell into sleep...

...into Kakyo's realm...

Kakyo was sitting, not staring at Panoru but showing little interest in the fact that she was naked in the dream world. Panoru glided over to him, free from her bondage of the physical world, and sat down in front of him.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Panoru. You're Kakyo...right?" Kakyo nodded.

"Ikari tells us that you are a dragon like her. But you are different. You are not made to kill." Panoru sighed.

"Actually, I'm not supposed to be here. I disobeyed God." Panoru looked at her hands, in order to hide her eyes. Kakyo reached out and placed one hand on her head, (in classic anime fashion!).

"But you are. You are stronger than God. He can never punish you."

"You're wrong!!" Panoru's head snapped forwards, revealing human tears in her eyes. Kakyo jumped, pulling his hand back. Panoru returned to stare at her hands, tears dripping onto her hands.

"Dragons are only made to think that they're stronger than God, but there is a weakness. They are bound to him, they can only do his will, unless the have their own little revelation. Then they become weaker, and they are forced to serve the angels, the goddesses, the Seraphim and some even get to serve the Archangels Anshenmei and Seraphiroen. If a dragon disobeys God, then they are sealed away in the Red Sanctuary, forced to live out the next ten years in their own Purgatory of Roses. When they're released, they are no stronger than the goddesses." Panoru began to cry, no sob, but tears streamed in rivers from her eyes.

"Did you come to Earth before?" Kakyo asked. Panoru leaned against Kakyo, as if she found some comfort in telling him this.

"I was six when I came." Kakyo watched as the 'dream' appeared before them.

It was under a blooming Sakura tree, and an egg-shaped glow formed, opening into a younger form of Panoru. She wore flowing white robes, and her eyes were bright and full of fear. Her dragon ears popped up, where he human ears were. She listened, hearing footsteps, before she dashed up the tree. The thoughts of this dream echoed around Kakyo and the modern-day Panoru.

'Why am I here?'

'Why did God send me?'

'How am I supposed to find Kamui?'

A figure walked in, under the tree. Kakyo was surprised, but he didn't show it. The figure seemed to be a younger (and cuter!) Seishiro. He looked up into the tree. There was an "eep" sound and the smaller Panoru fell towards the ground. Seishiro caught her.

But then, that vision ended.

"You were sent to find Kamui?" Kakyo asked.

"Yes. I was supposed to kill them both. But I didn't. Seishiro...he told no one about me, but called me Ryu-Chan once. So I called him Uncle Seishiro. He didn't mind. I had my revelation there. I realized. I was not stronger than God, but if anyone could read auras, they would think that I was stronger than God. I realized that it was easier to tell them that I was stronger."

Kakyo was silent. He listened to Panoru tell everything. She had fought, she had killed. She was here to repent for her sins.

"Well...now that you and Ikari are here, is there any need for the Seven Seals? Or the Angels?"

"Yes. There is a need. The dragons are not made to fight each other. They are to only follow any orders that their respective Kamuis tell them, but it cannot harm them. If Kamui told me to kill your Kamui, I couldn't because then there would be not battle. Ikari is supposed to be bound by the same laws, so it was slightly puzzling when she wanted to kill Kamui."

"So...your jobs are to follow practically any order that your Kamuis give?"

"Yeah. But it seems that my only order is to protect. I really don't care. I want to protect him, even if it means slaying another dragon."

"One more question, why did you appear in modern clothing?"

"I saw it on one of the wandering souls that got lost in heaven. I liked it and decided to copy it if I ever left heaven again."

Panoru woke, feeling much better but still feeling bad. She had now made up her mind, she was going to protect Kamui. Her life didn't matter anymore, she was just going to protect Kamui with everything she had. She closed her eyes and concentrated.

Just as Fuma and Nataku entered the room, they saw a white dragon tail vanish through a hole in the ceiling.
