Disclamer: I do not own Dragon Knights, or Magic Knight Rayearth. Mineko Ohkami and Clamp own them respectivly. I do own the two new yokai, just b/c I need some to help this story.
This now skips ahead a full week!
" Rath... You feeling better?" Rune quietly whispered as he watched the other Dragon Knight slowly get out of bed. The quick nod he received was enough to tell the elf that Rath seemed to be okay.
" You really worried us for a while, you need to be more careful, eh?" Thatz said as he stood in the doorway to the room. Both the Dragon Knights, Thatz and Rune, had stayed up all night with the fire knight who had been moaning and feverish. Rath slowly stood to his full height and gave the other two a lazy smile. "I can't believe I was out so long. The doctor said even the dragon lord was worried, and now you two. Can't really believe it...." Rath said, almost to himself.
" Why not?" Thatz asked, a little surprised by Rath's tone. It seemed so distant...He then looked straight into Rath's eyes, determined to figure out what was going through the other knight's head.
"Because." Rath started, as he covered his eyes with his arm, and looked away from the other knights. " I wasn't the one who was hurting."
In Bierrez's abode:
" Never knew the girl had it in her." Said an evil yokai who hovered over the still form of Hikaru.
" No... We never did, and she never will." Another one said as he gazed at the motionless girl with an extremely pale completion.
In the dark reaches of the cave like area, Bierrez stood with his arms crossed, and a dark scowl darkened his features. He listened intently to what the two yokai, Yuma and Yumai, had to say about the young woman.
" She'll die soon, just like her brother, and his friend." Yuma said, his dark, green eyes searching over every inch of her form. She wore a dark, black full skirt, and a white long sleeved shirt with a black vest over it. Her hair was undone, and cascaded down to the floor. She lay upon a granite slab, and cuts and bruises were the only real complextion visible on her body. But despite all of that, she still breathed, and that was what fascinated the yokai.
The one named Yumai stepped forward and placed a containing shield over the area in which Hikaru lay. " She is the one who will resurrect our Lord Nadil. She is the one who will be his way to life, and the death of the Dragon King."
Then in the background, Bierrez smiled, " If the king has use of her, she will live... Even if all the rest of her kind perish, she will be safe."
In the Dragon Castle:
" How are you feeling, Rath?" Lykouleon asked as he sat down on the chair that was in Rath's personal room.
"Better, but..." Rath responded as he shrugged his shirt off.
" What is it?" The lord asked, his eyes narrowing in concern.
Rath dropped his shirt to the ground, and looked at the lord. " I feel so trapped."
" By what?" Lykouleon questioned, he now stood poised over the young knight who slowly laid down on his bed.
Rath flopped over on his back and stared up into Lykouleon's green eyes. " You never tell me anything. Like, why did you save me? You would have had enough to keep going with just Crewger, so why help me?" He whispered, though his voice was urgent.
Lykouleon slowly, almost hesitantly pulled his gaze away from Rath, and said, "It's because Fire is fond of you. And so am I, we all care about you."
Rath regarded the other slowly, then yawned and said, " You care for a yokai, huh? I'll have to think on that." And he quietly went to sleep.
Krylancelo note: Yay. Third chapter! I hope everyone who reads likes this, because I've been trying hard to get it right. (The way I want it!) Give me comments, I want to know what you all thought of it. ... Rath and Hikaru make good siblings, eh? And Lykouleon is going to maybe play a bigger role later on when I play with Nadil. See ya!
