Author's Note: Well I got some reviews for the first chapter, just like I hoped for! Yay! So now I have the pleasure of thanking those people who reviewed…

Famin. Yes, I am evil. And sadistic as you will later learn. : ) Congrats on being the first reviewer…..Eep, and since I do not want to die an assuredly most painful death, I will continue with the story…

Noone. Rath and Rune is my favorite couple.

Born of Avalon. Well it looks like I have no choice but to continue. Sigh. But it ain't so bad. I've got an idea for this story.

Liz. Okay. You read more, I write more. Or is that the other way around? I think it is…

"A Dragon Knights Argument"

Last chapter on "My Quest for You"…

Rune was summoned to Lord Lykouleon's chambers. Along the way Rune heard srange sounds and found they originated from one of the side rooms where Rath was sleeping. His heart went out to the Dragon Knight of Fire, but Ruwalk soon came and escorted him to Lykouleon. Once with the Dragon Lord, Rune found out his task was to watch over Rath. To stay by his side and keep an eye him, as a friend, not a superior.

My dream, my dream…Rath snored. Fire rolled on top of his head. He rolled so far over he simply fell off and onto the floor. However, not even falling could wake the dragon of Fire. He was sound asleep with a bubble being blown out of his nose. He merely rolled onto his stomach, got comfortable, and fell asleep once more. But not without holding up one of his signs that read, "Ouch".

Hearing the loud thunk of his dragon hitting the floor, Rath's heavy eyelids parted. Even though they weren't even half way opened he blinked several times to make them feel lighter rather then heavier. Sitting up on the bed he'd been sleeping in, he stretched his arms over his head and yawned half the sleep out of him. But since the other half was still there and beckoning to him, he decided to take up the offer and sleep some more. Adjusting the sheets over his body he flipped over onto his side, pulled the cover up to his chin, and suddenly stopped. He blinked as his eyes met those of another Dragon Tribe member. And for a moment that was all they did; stare at each other. What's he doing here? Rath wondered. The Dragon Tribe member was sitting at the only desk in the room next to the door against the wall holding a quill pen in his right hand and a piece of parchment on the desktop with notes scribbled on it.

In the light that shone through the window, the only window in the room, he had to admit he looked pretty good. He looked good, but the light just didn't do him justice. And he wondered what would? Again Rath sat up in bed, pushing the sheets away from him and swinging his legs over the side of the mattress. "What are you doing here? What made you decide to come see me Rune?" he asked.

Rune shrugged. He wasn't too sure how to answer his question. He couldn't tell him Lykouleon assigned him to look after him. He'd hate him if he did. Of course, he had to wonder if he didn't already hate him. "Rath, I think we need to talk."

Rath smirked and turned his head to the side. "What's there to talk about? You already know everything about me."

Rune sighed. "Yes. I do," he admitted. "And that's what we need to talk about." Rune hadn't realized it until too late, but his words were clipped, very curt. He wanted to slap his hands over his mouth, but he refused the urge. What he said was true. That little fact was what they needed to talk about.

Rath blinked. He'd never heard Rune speak that way before. It was almost as if he'd completely ditched his high ranking exterior. He'd never snapped at him like that before. Getting off the bed he walked over to him. "What's the matter?" he asked lightly.

Rune stood and pushed his chair in turning to Rath in the process. But before he could say anything… "Demons deserve to die Rune. I know that's what you're thinking."

Rune clutched his hands into tight fists. That wasn't what he was thinking, that wasn't even what he was going to say! SLAP! Rath's face followed the flow of Rune's hand. When he pulled back a nice red print coated his left cheek. "Do you honestly think that I think that much of you?" Rune growled. "You're so self-centered, you only think about yourself."

Rath blinked as he rubbed his cheek. He hadn't expected Rune to do that.

"You think that just because you're different you deserve special treatment?" Rune's anger showed as his shoulders began to shake. "Do you think everyone thinks that of you? You don't care that everyone else cares about you?"

Rath's expression turned serious. He crossed his arms and answered in all honesty. "No. I don't. That's why I hate them."

Rune silently gasped, being taken aback by Rath's admission. He could feel his eyes waver slightly. He composed himself in order to ask, "So you're saying that Cesia should die because she's of yokai blood?"

Rath didn't answer. Couldn't answer. What was he supposed to say? Yes Cesia was yokai, just as he was. But that didn't mean he wanted her dead. Rune went on to ask, "Should I die because I'm of faerie and elf blood?"

At that the Fire Knight's eyes widened. He would never want Rune to die. Especially because of his being an elf or faerie. "That's not what I meant," he tried telling the Water Dragon Knight.

"But it's what you said Rath!" Rune yelled. Anger coiled in his blood and gut. So much so that his arms were shaking because of it. He couldn't help it if it was showing on him. Before anything went any further, Rune swiftly turned toward the door two feet behind him. He wasn't going to stay and argue with the source of his feelings. "I'm leaving now," he told him softly.

Rath watched as the Water Dragon Knight began to walk away. He could feel his heart constrict within his chest, and unconsciously called out to him. "Rune, wait." The blonde haired Dragon Knight stopped, but refused to turn around and face him. "You didn't answer my question." Rath told him. "What are you doing here?"

Rune shrugged. "I was walking down this hall and heard and unearthly sound coming from one of the rooms. Turns out it was just you snoring." With that he walked away. Leaving Rath feeling uncomfortably cold inside. Had he just been dismissed? And by the one Dragon Knight, the one person, he had strong feelings for? "What…just happened?" he asked aloud to no one in particular.

"Don't look at me master," was what the sign said that Fire held up while snoring.

A/N: Sorry the second chapter isn't that long. But I figured this would be a good place to stop. If I kept going it's take forever for you guys to read it. So I'll let you go until next time. Keep those reviews coming! They make me feel special. XD
