Ryuu Oni

Chapter 4


Harry had decided before he had even gotten out of bed the next morning that he wasn't going to let Malfoy's leave. There was no way he would be able to live with it if they died and he could have done something about it. Then again, he wasn't sure if there was anything he could do. He couldn't even get past his first problem. Who could he trust to tell about Malfoy's situation? It would have to be someone who would believe Malfoy was telling the truth, some one who didn't want to kill him.

He would have all day to think about that. Work wasn't very challenging and today was sure to be extra slow. It was when he was about to go out the door that he decided against leaving it with Malfoy still asleep. He was a little worried about Ryuu taking on her motherly rolls again and burning down the house or something. He really didn't feel like being killed anytime soon.

"Malfoy, wake up, I'm going to work." Harry said hitching his skateboard under his arm. "Listen, please don't leave until I get back. I want to make you guys a going away dinner thing."

Rubbing his head, Draco blinked a few times and said, "I'm not going to chance Rion-and my life- by going in the daylight."

Harry sighed, "There is- well you know where the medicine cabinet is- for your headache. You can have some of that. I only woke you up- well-just watch Ryuu and I'll be back a little after lunch." Harry said trying to think if there was something else to say. He started backing up to the entryway. "And I think that's it, umm… see you later then." He said disappearing behind the wall to the entry way.

Draco sat there for a second waiting to hear the door shutting, but it never happened. Shaking his head in confusion he stood up to see what happened to Potter. Potter wasn't there when he turned the corner, but the door in front of Draco stood wide open. He could see Harry on the sidewalk across the street riding off on a piece of rolling board. Shaking his head again, this time in disbelief that Potter was so scatterbrained, Draco shut the door and locked every lock.

He didn't like the thought of being in Potter's house. It was to bright. It wasn't safe here. What if one of Potter's muggles came home. He would have to run out in the daylight with Ryuu at his hip. He tried not to worry about it and turned back into the living room. He looked down at his sister on the chair.

She looked peaceful curled up against the arm, smiling. He smiled to himself. He would let her sleep a little bit longer, but he wanted to make sure she got a bath in before they left. Rion's eyes suddenly shot open and she jumped up giggling. "Got you," she screeched jumping up and down on the chair.

So she wasn't sleeping after all. "Yes you did." Draco said unaffected by her little stunt, that she'd pulled every morning they had been on this little 'camp out'.

She laughed anyway and screeched, "Dracy, I'm hungry, where's niichan?" She said falling onto her butt on the chair and sliding off the side quickly.

"Don't call him that Ri." Draco said starting to walk into the kitchen.

"Why?" She didn't even look at him just ran ahead into the kitchen.

"Because he isn't your brother, I am. Call him Potter, or even Harry." He explained annoyed at Harry, and himself. He pulled out a chair and set her up on it.

She crawled onto her knees, for height, and looked up at her brother with large eyes. "Why isn't he my brother?"

"Because, he doesn't share the same mommy or daddy as us." Draco said filling up a cup with the cool-aid from the night before.

"Well…" she said, putting her hands on her hips to show she meant business. "He doesn't have a mommy, so how come we can't share?" Draco wasn't sure how to explain this one, but he didn't have time anyway. "He's the same as you anyway, so maybe daddy passed on those plates to both of you." She said taking a sip from her cup.

"It's traits, not plates- and what do you mean by that?" He didn't even want to take the time to argue with her about his father passing on traits to Potter.

"Well you and daddy and Niichan-"
"Pot-Harry." Draco corrected.

"-All hate mommy, and mommy hates all of you." She said simply. Draco thought about this for a second. "Don't call him Niichan."

He said to her explanation.

Instead of listening she screeched, giggling, "Oh, and you both have the same color hair!" She sounded so excited about her revelation that Draco couldn't help but smile a little. It was the only thing she'd said today that had made sense. But she didn't stop there. "And you both play house with me, and you both have messy rooms. HEY!" she screeched so loudly Draco's ear popped, "Maybe you guy are twins!" She said cheerfully.

She was not helping her position with those kinds of arguments, "No niichan."

"You both have okaasan's hair, and your both the same age- and you know each other, so you must be twins."

Draco shivered at the thought, "Rion, no Niichan."

She just laughed and took another sip from her cup.
