Princess Kotori and The Seven Dragons.

The Seven Dragons

Princess Kotori walked and walked following General Kusanagi's order. In her mind, Queen Kanoe image bothered her as hell. She couldn't stop thinking about her new mother. She was nice at me, this is really a bad joke. But General Kusanagi hardly ever joke about this one, and his aura also tells me that he was telling the truth. Princess Kotori thought. She kept on walking until she has lost her own direction. 'Oh, no. where I am right now?' she muttered in weary voice.

She clutched a tree near her, but suddenly she heard someone speak 'Ouch, that's pretty hurt young lady.' She took her hand away and looked around. 'Don't give such frightened face. You are really pretty…'

Princess Kotori looked at the tree near her closely 'Is that you, Mr. Tree?' she asked cautiously.

'Yes, it's me dear princess. My, my. What is a princess like you doing here?'

'You wouldn't believe my story…'

'No, you won't have to tell me, dear sweet princess. I knew it. You don't have to worry since the whole inhabitants in this forest would do their best to protect you.'

'Are you sure about that, Mr. Tree? My mother's magic is really powerful.'

'I know, my princess. We all know about that. Now, you had better follow this small road. This will bring you to the Seven Dragons. They will help you; this is as written in their fate.'

'The Seven Dragons?' Princess Kotori echoed quizzically 'What or who are they?'

'You'll find it out by yourself. You don't have to worry. We'll protect you…'

Princess Kotori hugged the old tree in relief. 'Thank you, thank you so much Mr. Tree and also other forest dweller.' She mumbled.

Princess Kotori tidied up herself and stood firmly, after took a deep breath she continued her walk as the old tree told her. She became really curious with the Seven Dragon. Not for long, she found herself in a different area. It was a prairie. A prairie in the middle of a forest? Princess Kotori couldn't conceal her surprise, but she also loved that place. The air was clean and there's no malice sensed anywhere. It's really peaceful there. The flowers also bloomed along the way everywhere she stepped her foot. She easily fell to the unknown place. Some small birds suddenly appeared and sang a song around her.

In the middle of the grassland, there was a house stood confidently. Of course, it wasn't as big as her castle, but that house invoked her curiosity. She was half running to that house. She was really happy since finally she found a house. Maybe I can ask about the Seven Dragon to the people there. She thought.

'Hello, excuse me…' Princess Kotori knocked on the door several times. 'Is there anyone here?' After trying for a while, Kotori sat on the porch, exhausted. 'I'm really tired…' She muttered. 'This is really ncie…' she thought as she seated herself on the porch. The gentle breeze caressed her, and she was fall into a soundly sleep without any intention to do so.

Princess Kotori faintly heard people's voice murmuring around her. She blinked her eyes a few times before fully awaken. 'Aaaahhhh…' she screamed when she saw many people around her.

'Hush, young lady. You don't have to be afraid of us.' Someone said gently to her. Princess Kotori turned to see that person. It was a blonde man, with golden eyes and such beautiful face.

She stared at them, perplexed with the sight. 'Are you… people who lived here?' she braved herself.

'Of course we are.' A girl voice answered her question. 'Anyway, I guess we better have a talk inside, rather than here. It's no good to talk outside.' She continued 'Am I right?'

'Yes, you are. We better took her inside. It's getting late now.' the blonde man repeated.

Princess Kotori was still mystified with the aura, Who are these people? She thought, but she kept it away.

'Have you been long out there?' a black haired girl asked her.

'Eh, not really. I was fallen asleep.' Princess Kotori replied.

'I can see that,' the cheerful girl added. 'Do you want some tea?'

'Thank you…' she replied when received the teacup from her. 'Umm… may I ask you a question?' she asked after sipped her tea.

'Yeah, what is it?'

'Have you ever heard about the Seven Dragon?'

The cheerful girl's face changed drastically as Princess Kotori mentioned the name of Seven Dragon. 'Why would you want to know about them? Are you walk along the way just to look for them?' she gestured the others to circled Princess Kotori.

'Well, I've just heard about them, and I wondered if they will help me. I know it might be too much to ask for, but I really need some help. Do you guys know anything about them?'

'Firstly, why won't you tell me who you are and why you're here…' the blonde man joined the conversation once again.

'I think that won't be necessary, Yuuto.' someone said from the doorway. 'She is Princess Kotori, the princess from Toga Kingdom. She was here because her new mother, Queen Kanoe is trying to kill her because she's jealous with princess's beauty.'

Princess Kotori turned to see who it was. She startled when she found out that it was a girl. The girl had her spectacles on and looked very stylish. The girl walked on her way in such cold manner but somehow very enchanting.

'This is just like what Kakyou has told us then…' the blonde man realized. 'This is as written in our fate record.'

'Are you sure, Yuuto?' the cheerful girl asked him once again to ensure herself.

'Kakyou never told a lie before…' the calm, dark haired girl continued. 'So it must be true, don't you think so too, Subaru?'

'Yes, that's right Arashi.' another man answered.

Princess Kotori couldn't catch up with their conversation. She found herself confused in the middle of their talk. She couldn't understand anything. She stared at them one by one. What are they talking about? She asked herself.

Finally, Princess Kotori boldly asked them 'Who are you?' That question stopped the arguments between them. They exchanged their gaze with each other before finally bowed respectfully and down on their knees before her. 'What are you doing?' Princess Kotori asked, still confused with the sight. First, they ignore me now they praise me like this. What do they want? She couldn't stop asking herself.

'We are the Seven Dragons you've been looking for, dear princess.' The blonde man said and it clarified many things in Kotori's mind 'My name is Yuuto, I'm the Dragon of water.'

'Umm, sorry to interrupted, but what is Seven Dragons? Who are they? I mean, what do they do?' Princess Kotori asked innocently.

'Seven Dragons is seven blessed people that has special ability based on their elements,' the stylish girl answered her 'We have our own forces and ability. We are chosen people, and we have our own fate. It was written in our fate that we have to help a princess from Toga Kingdom. That's why we're here. Finally, the time has come for us for an action.'

'As Satsuki-san has said, we have our own special ability and had our name based on that ability.' Yuuto-san continued 'My ability is water manipulation. That's why my name is Dragon of Water.'

'And I'm the Dragon of Technology, my name is Satsuki.' The stylish girl said 'My ability is manipulating technology.'

'I'm Dragon of Ghost, Yuzuriha at your service.' The cheerful girl continued, Princess Kotori puckered her brows 'I can manipulate the ghosts and made them follow my orders. That's why…' she continued. Princess Kotori just nodded though still frightened.

'My name is Sorata, I'm Dragon of Lightning.' A young boy around Princess's age said

'Hello, I'm Karen, Dragon of Fire.' A redhead beauty continued the introduction.

'I'm Arashi, I'm the Dragon of Ice.' The calm girl bowed at Princess Kotori deeply.

'I'm Subaru, Dragon of Magic.' The last person said, he was as calm as the previous girl was. When he raised his face, Princess Kotori gasped instinctively.

'What is it, Princess?' Yuuto-san asked her.

'No, it's just. Subaru, do you have any connection with Hokuto, the princess from Kyo Kingdom.' Princess Kotori asked Subaru

'She is my sister, why you're asking that?'

'Well, your face really looks like hers. I heard that she was missing. Anyhow, that means that you're the prince of Kyo Kingdom.'

'You may call me so. But my sister wasn't missing, she was kidnapped by your new mother.'

Princess Kotori very surprised with the fact. 'Does it mean that everyone here has their own grudge against my mother?'

'That's true.' Yuuto replied 'My younger sister was killed by her,'

'It's my mother in my case.' Sorata said 'And that goes the same for Arashi and Karen here.' Arashi and Karen nodded as yes.

'And me, it was my grandmother. I lived only with her, I have no one else around.' Yuzuriha continued.

'Why she do that? What's her purpose?' Princess Kotori asked thoughtfully 'That's really out of senses.'

'She wished to be the most beautiful and powerful person in the world. That's why she even trapped her own sister.' Satsuki answered.

'How could you know that, Satsuki?'

'Because that's what she told me before I ran away from her. And based on my investigation during these years that showed the same result.'

'Her sister? My mother has a sister?'

'Yes, she was the greatest oracle after your mother, her name is Hinoto. Kanoe was jealous with Hinoto's power and innocence, that's why she trapped her inside her mirror.'

'What should I do now? If she's that powerful then…'

Suddenly Yuuto took her hand 'Princess, you don't have to worry. We're here to help you at our fullest. We're protect you at the mean time. There's something you have to remember. Though we're named as seven dragon, actually there were ten of us in total.'

'Ten Dragons?'

'Yes, the eight one is my sister's fiancé, Kakyou, an oracle also from Kyo Kingdom. He was the greatest clairvoyant back there. He is the dragon of dreams. You've ever heard about him, an oracle who foreseen the future through his dreams, similar with your mother.' Subaru rejoined

'And how about the ninth and the tenth?'

'That's what we're still working on.' Satsuki interrupted. 'The real power of the dragons won't ever be able to be released until we're completed. At first seven has been sufficient, but it's still far from our destiny. The remaining three actually hidden dragons, their power not as essential as are here.'

'Anyway we have to stay back and make a solid plan before we moved on.' Arashi said 'In the mean time, what if you lived here with us?'

Princess Kotori turned to see the calm Arashi, 'Are you sure? I really can live here?' she asked gladly. She couldn't hide the happy tone from her voice.

'You're part of our fate, that's why we have to protect you. Either way, you have no place to go to, right?' Karen added 'You don't have to worry. This place is inside Subaru's magic. Kanoe's magic couldn't reach this far. The only way to get here is by foot, and I doubt she would do that.'

Princess Kotori thought for a moment 'You're right, thank you for accepting me here.'

'No, the pleasure is on us, princess.' Yuuto bowed and kissed her hand.
