zzzzzRecap:
"B-b-but…t-there's s-so much to c-consider. And all"
Seto shook his head as Yami continued to babble. "We'll leave as soon as he's all rested," he murmured.
Yami stood up and glared at Seto, or at least tried to. In the end, he sat down, murmuring something about insanity.
zzzzzzChapter 3: Attack
Kyr woke to a warm world. The usual pain and ache from his body never came. He felt wonderfully refreshed. Sitting up, he took a look around.
Seto sat in a chair next to him, sound asleep. The healer was crouching next to the fire, cooking. Whatever it was, it smelt good. He heaved a content sigh, and froze as Seto stirred.
"Someone's feeling better," Seto grumbled, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
Kyr stared at him, terrified. He had woken his master. Seto never made a move to hit him. He did, however, turn around and say things to the healer.
"Yami, what're you cooking?"
The healer, Yami, grinned evilly. "What? Does it smell good?"
Seto scowled at him. Maybe he isn't so bad, he thought. He thrust the comment out of his mind, remembering the incident.
zzzzzz
Yami stood up, holding a bleeding dragon in his arms. Seto stared at all the blood. The healer murmured a spell, and the dragon screamed. It flailed wildly, before going still. Nine-year-old Seto watched in horror as Yami dumped the dragon on the ground.
zzzzzz
A rumbling brought Seto back to the present. Kyr blushed as his stomach demanded food.
"I-I…sorry…" Kyr stared dejectedly at his hands, trying to ignore the gnawing hunger.
Someone shoved a bowl into his lap. The surprised child looked up and saw Yami standing over him. The healer glared, looking embarrassed.
"Hurry up and take," he said. "I haven't got all day."
Kyr quickly took the bowl into his hands, the aroma teasing his belly.
"Careful. It's hot." Kyr heeded the advice, blowing on a spoonful before swallowing it. It was sooo good.
Seto watched in amusement as the child ate the soup with vigor. He looked up in disbelief as Yami offered him a bowl.
"You've gotta be hungry," Yami said with a lopsided smile. "You've been sitting in that chair for at least four hours."
Seto didn't say anything as he took the soup, trying not to look thankful. Yami smiled to himself as he ate his own share.
zzzzzz
Kyr was asleep, cleaned and bandaged afresh. The bath hadn't been too bad.
Seto watched the child sleep peacefully, hoping that he was having good dreams.
"Well, are you going to tell me where I'm headed?" Yami asked bluntly.
"You mean you're actually coming?" Seto turned his gaze towards the healer.
Yami grew red in the face. "The kid…he's…interesting."
"What do you mean?"
Yami sighed. "I can't get away without saying the truth, huh?" Seto shook his head with a rueful smile. "He's got a vast amount of magic in him."
Seto raised an eyebrow. "So? You need magic to tame dragons properly."
The healer scoffed. "You barely have any, and yet you do pretty well."
Glaring at Yami, Seto gritted his teeth and continued, "I don't think Kyr will tame dragons. I don't think"
"That's true. Ya don't do it very often."
Within a split second, Yami found a rather sharp piece of metal at his throat. "Loose the jokes, healer." Seto retracted the blade, easing it back into his cape. "He won't become a dragon tamer."
Yami rubbed his throat, checking for damage. "Why?" There was none.
Seto shrugged, leaning back in his chair. He clasped his hands behind his head. "Kyr doesn't have dragon sense."
The door slammed open. Guno ran in, with three others. One had a wide sword, with his violet hair tied back in a ponytail. The warrior also had a fiery look in his eyes. Next to him stood a fiend. He sported long, curved horns with an even longer tail. His green and yellow eyes glared at the healer. The third figure was a female fairy. Her body glistened with orange sparks, and her hair seemed as if it were moss.
"Ever heard of knocking?" Yami shouted, jumping to his feet.
"That's him!" the fairy yelled, pointing to Yami.
Guno stared at Seto. "Dragon tamer?"
Seto frowned, standing himself. "What the heck are you doing?"
The previous owner of Kyr shook his head, as if trying to rid himself of illusions. "Master Dragon Tamer! What…what are you doing here with this evil man…" he trailed off, seeing Kyr stir awake in the bed behind Seto.
"Evil man?" Seto exchanged looks with Yami. "What did he do?"
The fiend looked outraged. "He spelled Jerig! All she talks about now is him! Our Jerig hated spell casters until she met you!" he spat, glowering at Yami.
"All I did," Yami hissed, "was help her. She had a friggin' stab wound in arm, with the knife still in there!"
Guno clenched his fists. "Oh, yea? While ye were healing her, ye snuck some love potion in, didn't cha?" He charged without warning. A flash of light illuminated the room, blinding the warrior and fiend.
"Seto, hurry up!" Yami yelled over the chaos. His words were wasted. Seto had already knocked the female and warrior unconscious. There was a scream behind him. Who was behind him, though? It took a moment to register.
"Kyr!"
Sorry about the cliffhanger, even if it's not that great. I also apoligize for the short chapter. I had a rough day today. Dad saw my report card for midterms and belted me. Sometimes it not fair. I mean, for crying out loud, I'm 10 and in the 8th grade! Sorry, just feel so crummy. I look forward to the reviews though!
