CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
"We want you to dance with us!" Abriel exclaimed happily.
"No," Cyekyou growled.
"What?! Why?!"
"Because, I made that mistake last time." He hissed, "And my hair was still brown!" Cyekyou pulled on a lock of his hair, "AND, I didn't have a mohawk!"
Ran screamed.
"Whats wrong, Rannie?" Gabriel asked, looking into his foster-cousin's eyes.
He threw up his hands, "No dancing! We've been doing enough of that anyways!" he yelled, "I can't take it anymore, Platima!"
Cyekyou had returned his shirt back on his body, and he was agrreeing with Ran and Torque. He didn't want to dance.
Nobody did.
The only dancers were slaves.
Centinal stood from his chair adbruptly. "I want to see Mitsuo."
Chimera nodded solemnly. "I do too. But, we can't. Not right now, this is where the shadows have called us, and we shant leave it until they bid me to do so."
The pale purple haired boy stood and walked towards the ballroom doors, pushing them open and disappearing through them.
Centinal sighed and followed his childlike lover. There was nothing he could do, even though he was the seme, whenever they weren't in bed Chimera wore the pants out of the two.
Laughter erupted from Platima's throat, echoing off of the walls cruelly.
"What's the matter, father?" Kraus asked, staring at the head of their clan. "What is so funny to you, Platima-sama?"
"No need to be so formal with me, Kraus." Platima said with a shrug, "I just find it funny that you still take care of your brother's children."
Rhelex and Hacker's heads snapped up. "What?"
"You've said enough, father." Kraus pleaded.
"So you've never told them?"
"I was going to on their one hundred-fiftieth birthday!"
"I want an explanation!" Rhelex shrieked. "You are our father, aren't you?!" He started to move towards Kraus, "Papa! Don't you lie to me!"
Ran grabbed Rhelex by his arm and Gatos grabbed his left. "Don't you have anything to say?!" he shrieked like a banshee.
"No."
"NO?! No, you're not our father, or no you don't have anything to say?!" he hissed.
"Both." Kraus said sympathetically. "But, I will give you all of the answers you seek once this mess is all over and done with!"
"I can give you all the answers you want--"
"But you won't!"
Platima sighed, "But, I won't. I still wish to keep the family I do have in one piece... and, not to mention I want to respect my kin's wishes, this time."
The ruler's eyes gazed around until they landed on their target.
Kraus.
"I will speak with you in my private quarters about your insolence momentarily."
Kraus nodded glummly and left the room, possibly heading for the King's private rooms. Ran turned around sharply on his heels. "Schwartz. Weiß, follow me."
He didn't even turn his head to relay a message to Platima. "I will be in my quarters."
Platima shrugged. "Go on ahead. Not like it matters right now."
The eight bio-humans(1) made their way to the door that would lead them out into the dragon kingdom, leaving six of the eight(2) staring in disbelief.
"Shocking, much?" Schuldig grinned.
"Overdoing it?" Crawford asked with a raised eyebrow.
Omi held Nagi's hand tightly as they saw some of the townsfolk cheering. "Ah! The sphyinx is back! The King must be awake!"
Ran sneered at them cruelly, "Like he would do anything for you scum."
"It's good to have you back, Ran-sama!" the girls cheered.
The only thing off about the people were the long, sharp talons that were their fingers and toes. Not to mention the horns growing out of the male's heads along with the dragon wings sprouting from their backs.
Wings sprouted from his shoulder blades. "Back away from me." he growled venomously at the girls, but it didn't seem to faze them.
He solemnly looked around before stretching his arms out infront of him.
The two finely manicured hands began to glow at his fingertips and he wrote serveral words into the air, creating soft, pale yellow lines in it.
"Take us to my castle!" he roared to the sky.
The yellow words grew around the eight in a dome of light, and it slowly rose into the air like a flying fortress. Strength was radiating from it, like it's master.
Ran's face was contorted in deep concentration. Sweat beaded at his forehead and his hands grew brighter, as did the dome. The grim expression on Ran's face grew into sheer joy.
The red-head gazed upwards as his the dome grew to a neon yellow.
He flapped his wings once and he disappeared threw the blindingly bright light. A shadow in Ran's shape was flying about them.
"Is it safe to sit down, Ran-kun?!" Omi called, clinging onto Nagi for dear life.
Ran's laughter filled the bubble, "No need to shout, Enkil." He floated down back into the bubble. "I can hear you perfectly."
Omi pouted, "I'm Omi. Not Enkil!"
Ran laughed again before holding his hand back out into the position they were in before. His hair had grown about a foot longer than it was before.
"What ever! We're home!"
Ran landed several feet away from his castle. "Home, sweet home." he said softly and continued to walk towards the building.
He waved his hand towards the dome and it collapsed around the others, enveloping them in the normal sunlight.
The 'castle' could've held several kingdoms in it, it was so large. It had many different sectors, that they could see, towers, and many, many windows.
Not to mention it practically glowed.
The crimson haired man waited at the door for a while before sighing at their gawking. "Well." he paused, "Aren't you going to come in?"
The others snapped out of their daze and hurried to catch up with the sphynix's intense pace.
Ran threw open the doors and said loudly, "Welcome to my home!"
