Wow. People actually read this. people actually like it. Now I gotta keep it going.
Summary: Saruriki is back, Ryouga is gone and Aoi is kidnapped, I mean, dragon-knapped. What next?
---------------------------------Chapter 11: Aoi's Journey--------------------------------------
Saruriki continued to fly with Aoi, over the forest. As the day turned to night, Aoi began to rapidly grow.
"Hmm... One day down. One to go. Finally we will be able to see if Ryouga actually is worthy of Fushinji's training."
As Aoi grew, Saruriki began to descend quickly. With darkness closing in on him and a dragon forming in his hands, Saruriki decided it was time to find a place to stay. He lands safely on the ground then puts Aoi onto his back.
"I have to find a cave of some sort. Ryouga must never find his pet."
Saruriki walks around the forest floor. Hoping to find some shelter. Finally he comes acroos a large rock formation with a crack on the side. He takes Aoi off of his back and sets Aoi aside. Saruriki examined the cracked wall and began to think outloud.
"If I hit this wall in the center of the crack, I could break it evenly, making it possible for me and this dragon to hide here. Well, here goes nothing."
Saruriki charged at the crack and punches it at full force. The entire structure began to shake and dust fall from off of the wall. The dust thickens and engulfes the two. When the dust settles, the inside of the rock reveals itself. Besides the debris on the ground, the rock is empty inside.
"This is a very large rock. Wow. Didn't think it would be this much room inside."
Saruriki begins to walk inside and scope the rock out. Just as he takes his first step, Aoi awakens from his slumber. Aoi looks up and watches as Saruriki walk deeper into the rock, until he was unable to be seen. Aoi takes this chance to fly off into the night sky.
Aoi begins to think of the little time that he shared with Ryouga. He sighs and continues to fly over the vast forest, hoping to find a scent or any trace as to where Ryouga is. While flying he sees something pop through the trees and into the air. His heart fills with joy and he rushes toward the figure as it fades back into the trees.
He lands and starts to sniff around. He picks up Ryougas scent and dashes toward it. He finally finds the thing he smelled but it wasnt Ryouga. A little girl seems to have found Ryouga's headband and starting playing with it. When the girl say Aoi land she wrapped the headband on her head.
"oooh a dwagon," the girl said as she walked towards Aoi. "i ave neva seen a dwagon befora"
She extends her hand to pet Aoi. He bows down and lets her pet him.
"yay! he wikes me." the girl exclaimed as she continues to pet him.
As she continued to pet him he began to grow rapidly. She stops petting him and starts to stare at him. Aoi grabs her with his mouth and flings her onto his back. The second she lands on his back, wraps herself around him. He takes off through the trees and into the sky.
The girl begins to cheer Aoi on as his whips around the night sky. Apparently he has grown a liking to this girl. The more he flies the more she cheers.
"Eliza!... Eliza! Time to come home dear!"
A womans voice echoes through the sky.
"uh-oh. mommy wants me."
Aoi follows the womans voice and lands in the trees. Eliza jumps down from Aoi and begins to run off. Aoi starts to wimper. Eliza turns around and runs to Aoi. She hugs his body as best she could, and takes off the headband. She puts it onto Aoi's head and hugs him again.
"pway wit me again otay?"
Aoi smiles and nods.
"Eliza hurray up and come inside."
Eliza uns off into the direction of her mothers voice.
Aoi begins to walk off. Now with Ryougas scent on his head he begins his search yet again. But this time he should find Ryouga without a problem.
I think Im forgetting something in this story.
"Okay, I scoped out the cave now to bring the dra...where did dragon go?"
