Chapter 10 ….The Party

The room from where they first came to meet the dragon tribe.

The gang went through the doors they first came into the castle. Looking around it seemed that a lot of people were told to come there as well. It must have been some form of party as well. (No one is in fancy clothes!) There were also some people that they recognized from before like the dragon knights, and the dragon lord.

"What's this for?" Hiei asked looking at the people curiously.

"I still don't know yet, but I'm guessing that this was something the lord was planning before you got here, and just decided to have you join in," Samara replied looking around.

"How do you know he planed this before we came?" Yusuke said lifting an eyebrow.

"That would probably be the reason why Kai-Stern and Alfeegi were fighting earlier," Samara said glancing over at the two.

"Most likely," Said Delte agreeing with her friend. Knowing those two for so long you would probably understand what they would fight about.

"So what are we suppose to do? Just stand here like statues," Kuwabara said out of the blue. He was getting tired of standing in the same spot sense they came in the room.

"No, but you could just walk around for the heck of it, and talk to some people," Samara said as she started walking off with Delte right behind. It was obvious that she was leaving so they could have some fun. (I mean the gang not Delte, and Samara.)

Then when they weren't in ear shot they also split again into two groups of two, and three, then started walking around. Kurama and Hiei went towards a plant like area, and Kuwabara, Botan, and Yusuke went towards a table with food.

Where Samara and Delte went to.

"So Delte what did you tell Kuwabara, Botan, and Yusuke when you were showing them around?" Samara asked towards her friend with a look adding, "Anything important?"

"All I did was tell them the things you would tell knew people in a place," Delte responded returning the look.

"That's good."

"Why is it good?"

"I don't need them to find out everything about me when I was a demon before joining the dragon tribe."

"Does that mean you told them you were a demon?"

"Yes, but that's all they know for now."

"So when will you tell them about your past?"

"When I think it's a better time then right after we met."

"Good point."

Then they ran into Tetheus. Samara saw that he wanted to talk to her alone, and that it had to be at that time. Samara looked at Delte as she also noticed at the stare that Tetheus was giving Samara, and walked away without a word said. As soon as she was gone Samara walked with Tetheus towards an area with no one around so they wouldn't have someone over hear them.

The food table with Botan, Yusuke, and Kuwabara.

"Wow this food looks good," Yusuke said as he started to eat.

"I second that," Kuwabara said looking at Yusuke as he started to eat as well.

"You two better keep your table manners here, or we're going away from this table ASAP," Botan warned the two seeing as they were starting to get some attention from the people around the table as well.

"Alright we'll keep control of our mouths," Yusuke told Botan trying not to make her worry about them.

"Yeah it's not like our mouths have minds of their own," Kuwabara said making a smirk.

"I think they do, because you two must be missing yours," Botan said starting to smile.

Kuwabara returned the smile trying not to make her seem to happy about it. 'She must have been thinking of that joke all the time we were wondering around the castle,' Yusuke thought ,'I wonder what Hiei and Kurama would think of that joke hilarious or funny enough to cause Hiei to fall off his tree branch.'

"Hey Kuwabara," Yusuke said all of a sudden.

"Yeah what is it?" Kuwabara responded.

"What on earth do you think Kurama and Hiei would be doing here?" Yusuke asked thinking of what they could do at a party like this.

"I bet Hiei's trying to avoid any contact with anyone else here."

"Yeah and I bet Kurama just trying to see if there's a library in the castle so he can read."

"I think you two should stick to what you're doing, or you're going to end up chocking on your food," Botan said interrupting their conversation.

"Whatever you say your majesty," Answered Yusuke dogging the hit Botan threw at him.

"I think their at least doing something a little more interesting than eating everything they can find."

What Hiei and Kurama are doing in the plant area.

Kurama had been looking at the plants he had never seen before in the Makai or the Ningenkai. He was taking a few seeds from the plants to grow back at home to see what would happen. Hiei had just been leaning on the wall sense he didn't have much interest in the party, food, or the plants Kurama had been looking at.

"What do you think these people do instead of keep demons out of the castle?" HIei asked for some reason.

"They probably protect the towns surrounding it I guess," Was all that Kurama would know about.

"They most likely do sense they must get board staying here all the time waiting for demons to attack."

"That would also be the reason the two dragon knights Thatz and Rath were planning on leaving with out a word said to their lord."

"I don't see why they were afraid to tell him. I don't think he would of said they couldn't."

"Maybe they were afraid of Alfeegi sense he was trying to kill Kai-Stern earlier."

"Your right about that for sure."

Then they saw Samara across the room talking to a man. He was obviously taller than her having dark green hair, but he was a lot more serious looking than anyone else in the castle. He was diffidently older than Samara, and seemed that something was bugging him that had to do with Samara, or she just needed to be filled in.

"Who do you think that is?" Hiei asked knowing Kurama wouldn't know.

"I don't know, but he could be one of the dragon officers that we haven't meet yet," Kurama answered looking a little bit concerned about the man.

"True, but who knows for sure until we meet the guy. Do you think we should go over?"

"Not yet. Let's wait until they're done talking about what they are now. It seems important sense their away from the group."

"Your right. I wonder what could be so important, or at least what the heck it is that he thinks no one else needs to hear."

"Well whatever it is it would be a bad idea to interrupt them about it before she knows what it is to."

Just as he had said that, Samara and the man finished, and were about to walk away from each other when Kurama and Hiei quickly walked over.

"Hey Kurama and Hiei. What's up?" Samara asked as they neared the two causing the man to stop walking away.

"Oh we were just trying to get familiar with some of the people here," Kurama answered looking at the man for a second.

"Yeah like him," Hiei said staring at the man Samara had been talking to.

"Okay this is Tetheus the black dragon officer. He was the one that got the dragon lord," Samara said looking back towards him as well.

"Hi," Kurama said to the man.

"Hello, and Samara please check, and see if everyone is here," Tetheus said giving her a very serious look, and she knew that look very well.

"All right," Samara said starting to walk around, and see who was here.

"So who was the person who sent the five of you?" Tetheus asked the two when Samara was gone.

"Koenma," Hiei said without problem.

"Then you five must not be from this dimension at all. How did you get here then?" He was getting a little more curious knowing something's about the gang.

"Samara was how we got here. She got sucked into our dimension, then we came here when we ran into her," Kurama said knowing that it wasn't the whole truth that he just said.

"Well that's all I wanted to know," Tetheus said, and walked away from the two.

"That guy was giving off a high rating sense of power," Said Hiei when he had left.

"Yes he was. I wonder if he was one of the people Samara meant that wasn't originally part of the dragon tribe."

"Most likely. Anyone who has a power like that must have been a demon before coming here."

When they finished talking about that, Samara came back looking around a little bit before standing next to them.

"So what did you three talk about?" Samara asked knowing that they did talk about something.

"Only on how we got here, and who sent us," Kurama answered thinking Samara really didn't leave to see was here or not.

Then all of a sudden a bright light came from the center of the room. After the light dimmed down they were all amazed to see a large white dragon in the middle of the room. Samara noticed who had caused it to come out. The dragon lord had summoned his light dragon to get everyone's attention. The most people surprised by this were the gang seeing one of the powerful duel dragons for the first time.

Where Yusuke and the other two are.

"Wow. What the heck is that?" Yusuke asked stunned.

"Why are you asking us? It's not like we would know," Said Botan wanting to Samara to see if she knew.

"Botan, Kuwabara let's go, and find Samara and the other two to see what's going on," Yusuke yelled towards them to make sure that they heard him.

"All right," Said the two at the same time.

The three of them soon walked around, and saw Kurama and Hiei with Samara on the other side of the room. It seemed that Kurama and Hiei were pretty confused on what was going on as mush as they were. Samara on the other hand seemed all right.

"Hey Samara!" Yusuke yelled as they neared them," What the hell is that thing!"

Samara, Hiei, and Kurama quickly looked over at the three people coming towards them. They were wondering what they were doing when this had happened, but didn't ask because it would just get them off of the real question they wanted answered. WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON? As soon as Yusuke, Botan, and Kuwabara got there Samara started to explain. At least what she knew about what was going on.

"That's a duel dragon. It's a dragon that only dragon knights from here have," Samara started off.

"Who's is it?" Kuwabara asked.

"It's the light dragon so that's the dragon lord's duel dragon."

"Damn that thing is large," Yusuke said knowing Botan would most likely hit him for it.

"Samara, why is it that we couldn't see that dragon before that bright light came," Kurama asked knowing that it wasn't in there before.

"That's because the dragons aren't always walking around the castle. They have to be summoned by their dragon knights to appear in front of others," Samara answered hoping that they wouldn't ask were they were before summoned, because she didn't know how to explain that the dragons are put into that dragon knight's weapon. (Really I don't have a clue either on how the heck they did it so I'm not putting that question in here.)

"Do you know why he let out his light dragon," Hiei asked finally.

"Not a clue. If I did I would have already told you."

Just then a young human girl walked towards the group, but was mainly coming towards Samara. It was obvious that she was also a friend of hers from being in that dragon tribe, and so on so they decided just to listen on to what they would start talking about. The gang also thought that she looked a little strange though, because she had pink hair with some light purple high lights, and her eyes were also pink. She wore a purple dress like skirt with a purple jacket over that, and a black scarf. (Guess who it is. Also I am going by the book covers for the dragon knight's hair color, and some times the cloths they were in the book if I can figure out a color for them.)

"Hey Samara what's going on," The girl asked thinking that she would know.

"I don't know what is going on Kitchel," Samara simply replied.

"Well then what ever it is, it's starting to get a little hazardous," The girl said pointing towards the light dragon.

"I know. I think that it may just be to get everyone's attention, but I'm not sire at all."

Quickly the girl (Kitchel) changed the subject as soon as she saw the people behind Samara. "Hi who are you."

"I'm Botan," Said you know who happily, "This is Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara."

"Hi," Said mainly everyone when their name was called except for Hiei.

"Well I'm Kitchel like Samara said earilier," She said with a grin. Then she looked around remembering the dragon being out, and said, "I'm going to see what's going on. See ya later."

"Bye," Said everyone, and then looked at the dragon still trying to figure out what's going on.

End Chapter

Damn it I thought I would stick in the dragon officers this time, but I'm wrong. Also if this chapter sounds some what bad that's because I had a few problems with the computer I am working with now, and I wasn't able to save some stuff I put on here before. Any ways read and review please.
