Chapter 6 life and living arrangements
A/n: I see that everyone was not happy to see what had happened to William and Tyuule. Well... I'm not telling what their fates are. Oh yes, I will also be using Latin for the empire too since they are biased off Ancient Rome.
Comments:
Dark wolf: thanks, I do a lot of research with my oc's to make sure to understand them more in the story.
Don orbit: oh, Don't worry. I can make happen to Corthal. But latter after he commits the biggest sin to one of our main characters and his friend.
Okay, That's it. Let's go. All comments welcome.
-Kuribayashi household-
The group had made it back to the Kuribayashi home so they could deal with this situation. The group of humans got off of Tohru as she then turned back into her human form, Fafnir, Kanna, And Lucoa turned into their human forms and followed suit. As they walked, Kanna looked over at Jessica's car. Kanna then tugged on Jessica's leg.
"Ms. Jessica".
"Hm? What is it, Kanna?".
"What's that strange looking wagon?"
"Oh, That's my car, Sweetie".
"What's a car?".
"I'll tell you what it is latter, I promise".
Jessica then leaned down to Kanna's level as she placed her hand on her head and rubbed her head a bit. Kanna was quickly liking the affection that she was receiving from the human, Tohru, Lucoa, And Fafnir took note of this.
"Guess we know who Kanna's staying with, They make such a good pair" Tohru said happily.
Lucoa agreed with her friend as Fafnir just looked annoyed at it, But at the same time, A little curious as well. The four chaos draconians then heard the door open up as Jessica picked up Kanna into her arms and carried her inside.
The other dragons followed as they all saw Sean, Nanami, Shino, Kobayashi, And Makoto all sitting in the living room on the couch and chairs. Kanna, Lucoa, And Fafnir entered as they looked at everything with curiosity in their minds. "Nice place" Lucoa said "This is vastly different from the empire in our world".
Nanami hen gestured for them to sit. Lucoa sat next to Shino, Their bodies squeezing a bit and their huge breasts pushed together as well. Sean sat next to his sister Nanami as she sat down next to him. Tohru was snuggling up to Kobayashi as Kobayashi dealing with her. Makoto sat with Nanami and Sean. As did Fafnir. They now had to discuss the living arrangements for them. But first, They had to know about them and their world.
Shino decided to break the ice:
"Okay..." she said "Now that everyone is here, I think that we should discuss the elephant in the room...".
"What elephant? I don't see one in here?" Tohru said confused until Kobayashi explained "What Shino means, Tohru. Is that it's a figure of speech meaning that one wants to address an issue or situation" Kobayashi said.
"Ohhh, Okay. I think I get it" Tohru said "So...what's this elephant about?".
"The elephant in the room is the four of you guys" Sean said "In order for all of us to know everyone better, I say that we should get to know you guys, And your world too. So I think we should start off with introducing ourselves".
Sean then cleared his voice "I'm Sean Kuribayashi, The second of the of the Kuribayashi Children".
Nanami then joined in as well "And I'm Nanami Kuribayashi, The third of the Children".
"Then you've got their big sis, Me! Shino Kuribayashi!" Shino said with a smile.
Next it was Kobayashi, Makoto, And Jessica's turn.
"My name is Jessica Hartman, I'm a foreigner from America and came to Japan with my mother long ago" Jessica said "I...also...used to be married to a wife and...had a child...".
Jessica then started to get a bit emotional when she thought about the accident, Makoto got up from his seat and comforted her. "Sorry, It's rather painful for her to talk about that" Makoto then decided to introduce himself. "Oh yeah, I'm Makoto Takiya. It's great to meet you guys" he said. Lastly was Kobayashi as she then adjusted her glasses "And then theirs me, Kobayashi" Kobayashi said "Well then, Now that we have introduced ourselves. I think that we should get to know our dragon roommates more. So let's start with you, Lucoa".
Lucoa nodded at Kobayashi as she then smiled and began to introduce herself.
"Very well then" she said "My name is Quetzalcoatl, But my friends call me Lucoa. It's nice to meet you all" Lucoa then looked over at Tohru, Her smile still showing "I'm glad that Tohru took my advice. She wasn't very happy with humans at first".
This was rather interesting to the others, Nanami then interrupted her.
"Sorry for cutting you off, Lucoa. But what do you mean that Tohru wasn't happy with humans at first? Did they try to hurt her in the past?" Nanami asked her.
That's when Kanna spoke.
"It's more so that we didn't want to bond or understand them" Kanna said "We've always considered them an inferior species".
"That, Or we had our parents explain to us that humans are bad and not to be trusted. But, Like Kanna said. It was more on the former than the latter. As well of the incident that occurred as well" Fafnir said "Oh yes, I'm Fafnir...".
"Kanna" Kanna said as she then realized that she didn't introduce herself. Jessica smiled at her as she rubbed her head again, Getting another calming sigh from her. As that was going on, Makoto then asked them a question.
"Well now that we know everyone, I actually have a question. Well, Two in fact" Makoto said "My first question is, Tohru told us about how special your kind was. And it's because of the special blood that you all have. Secondly, What's this empire like? Is like our Roman Empire from our world? Or something vastly different?".
Fafnir, Tohru, And Kanna all looked over at Lucoa. Unlike them, She was the only one who loved to be around humans. And she also had more knowledge and experience with them than any other draconian. Lucoa then spoke for her friends.
"Well the empire part I can explain easily" Lucoa said "The empire has been around for over 600 years. It has been completely unopposed by any force, Therefore, The People in the empire are highly arrogant and believe that they are the ultimate warriors in our world. Not only that, But their emperor is just as arrogant as his people, Perhaps even more. I've see the good side of the empire long ago".
"How long was that exactly?" Kobayashi asked Lucoa.
"Around 278 years ago".
The others just had their mouths drop, "2-278 years! Just how old are you, Lucoa?!" the humans asked her. Lucoa smiled as she gave her answer. "Oh I'm around 569 years old" Lucoa said happily "But I look around the age of 20 to you humans".
"How...How is it possible that you're that old and yet look as you do now?" Shino asked still in her sate of shock.
"It's because of our special blood that we have" Tohru said "See, What I explained to Nanami. I'm a chaos draconian, We're a special breed of dragons known as chaos draconian. Unlike our other draconian kin, Chaos draconians are very rare, And we're very powerful too. Our blood gives us longevity, And we can live for a very long time, However we're not immortal or anything like that. Our blood also gives us super movement, Powerful strength, The ability to speak in our tongue if we gave you our blood, As well as Mind reading, Healing, Energy sense, And lastly, Magic" Tohru finished.
The humans carefully paid attention to what Tohru said until Sean raised his hand. Tohru looked over at Sean.
"Yes, Sean?" Tohru said.
"That last part of your explanation" Sean said "You said that you're able to share your blood to other people? Like...some sort of ritual or something?" He asked. Tohru giggled until Lucoa then added in.
"Not really" Lucoa said "All we have to do is just cut ourselves and just let you drink our blood. We can also change the taste so that it doesn't taste bitter to you. However, Once you have a chaos draconians blood in your system. You are no longer human anymore. But it's up to you to chose what you declare yourself as".
The gang of humans were absolutely impressed by this, They could own the blood of a dragon and become something more than human. But that's when Fafnir made himself known "However...don't think that we're going to give it to you, Humans!" He said "We can't trust you!". Fafnir then showed his red eyes glowing bright red and aimed at them. The humans felt absolutely scared by his glare, However Tohru then wrapped her arms around Kobayashi.
"I trust Miss Kobayashi, !" She said.
Fafnir just looked at her as she let out a sigh "Then you're a fool" he said.
"Now, Now, Fafnir. Let's give them a chance" Lucoa said happily "Who knows, This place could be a new home for us". Tohru and Kanna looked down at the floor as Fafnir sighed at the memory of his old home being destroyed by humans. This however didn't go unnoticed by the others.
"Did...something happen to your old home in your world?" Makoto asked them. Tohru, Lucoa, And Kanna nodded in response as Jessica then saw the small tears that were escaping Kanna's eyes. She quickly wiped them away. "You don't have to talk about it if you guys don't want to if it's extremely painful" Jessica said "We'll understand".
Kanna looked up at Jessica as she saw her honest smile, It was kind and to her, Trustworthy. Kanna then just held on to her as she nuzzled her face into her side. Jessica was quickly growing attached to Kanna, However before any of the dragons could explain, A portal then opened up above them. Everyone quickly took to their feet.
"The hell?!" Shino and Sean said in unison.
"Have those humans found us?" Fafnir said.
However their questions were soon answered when out of the portal came a human woman with a dragon tail, Horn, And some kind of spear like staff. The woman then landed right on top of Makoto with a hard thud.
"Ouch..." the woman said as she leaned up to see that she had knocked out Makoto "Oh! I'm so sorry!" She said as she got off of him as Sean got Makoto in his arms.
"Looks like my buddy is out cold" Sean said "I'll take him to my room, Can you give me a hand with his legs, Fafnir?".
Fafnir snorted until Lucoa tapped his shoulder, "Go on" She said "Be nice". Fafnir rolled his eyes a bit and sighed in annoyance as he got Makoto's legs as the two then walked away up the stairs to Sean's room. As those two left, The others had to deal with their new guest.
"-sighs- that took longer than I expected..." the woman said until she was hugged by Tohru.
"Elma! Oh you're alive! And not dead! Oh I'm so happy!" Tohru said excitedly. Elma glanced over her shoulder and was just as excited to see her friend.
"Tohru! Oh I found you!" She said "Ohh...it took me forever to finally track your energy. But I finally did it! But...what did you mean that you're happy that I'm not dead?" She asked her. Lucoa then walked over to her. "Because a group of humans attacked our home" Lucoa said.
"Lucoa! You're here too?" Elma asked her.
"Hi lady Elma" Kanna said still holding onto Jessica.
"Eh? Kanna's here too?!" Elma said "Umm...what's going on?".
Tohru then placed her hand on Elma's shoulder as she gave her a sheepish smile.
"It's kind of a long story" she said.
-meanwhile-
Sean and Fafnir were carrying Makoto into Sean's room, As they finally got to the top step. Sean then kicked his door open as they walked inside.
"Okay, Place him on the bed" Sean said. Fafnir did as Sean asked him as he placed him on the bed as Sean did the same. As he leaned up, He then noticed the numerous posters of kingdom hearts on the walls, As well as elf figurines of different races on the shelves. Fafnir then looked over to see Sean's foam Oathkeeper Keyblade leaning over next to his open closet. Fafnir then walked over to the toy weapon and picked it up as he held it in front of him.
"What is this?" Fafnir asked Sean.
"Oh that, That's my keyblade" Sean said to him.
"Keen...blade?" Fafnir said receiving a laugh from Sean "hehe, No Fafnir. Key-blade. But I can understand why you would assume that it would sound like that" Sean said as he walked over to him "It's from a video game series known as Kingdom Hearts. My old lover Miku got me into the series. After she passed away 3 years ago, I then proceeded to become a major devoted fan for the series. I own every game and have beaten it. I have all The Wikipedia notes on the series printed out from their site. And have even written my own oc for a cosplay idea, Granted, I don't have any money for an authentic organization 13 black coat" Sean finished.
Fafnir just looked at him a bit before turning his attention back at the keyblade. He was now completely interested in knowing more. He then saw Sean walk over to his game collection as he pulled out Kingdom hearts and his PlayStation 3. He then turned on the system and held the controller.
"If you want to know more, I can show you" Sean said with a smile. Fafnir just looked at him a bit before he placed the toy onto the bed and sat down as Sean handed Fafnir the controller.
"Show me" Fafnir said.
-downstairs with the girls-
Elma sat down as she was told about what had happened to her tribe and kin. She was absolutely horrified at the loss of her people, And absolutely enraged at the imperials that assaulted their home. But she was now curious as to why Tohru and the others were staying with humans. However, Tohru explained that to her.
"So...let me see if I understand this" Elma said "Miss Kobayashi here saved you from your injury and you've fallen in love with her. And you've changed your views on humans because of miss Kobayashi, Right?" Elma asked Tohru. Tohru nodded her head as she was holding Kobayashi, Her breasts on top of the woman's head. Elma then looked at the humans, She was leery of them because of what she had just heard. But she saw Tohru, As well as Kanna clinging to them. Elma then looked over at Lucoa who was sitting with Nanami and Shino.
"I understand that you like humans, Lucoa" Elma said "But...can we really trust these humans? I mean, After what I just heard?".
"We can trust Kobayashi and her friends" Lucoa said happily "And they'll even allow us to stay with them too".
That's when it hit Jessica, Shino, Nanami, And Kobayashi. They were going to need to stay somewhere, They actually didn't address that situation. The girls looked at each other until Shino came to a conclusion. "How about we let all of you stay here for now" Shino said "Then I guess we can work out who stays with who, Sound good with you, Lucoa?".
"Sure! That's fine with me" Lucoa said as she looked over at Elma "Is that okay with you, Elma?". Elma was silent on her end, She had no home to go to in her world. And she didn't have the energy to go back, But she sort of didn't have that much of a choice in the matter. Elma calmly sighed as she gave her answer.
"V-very well..." Elma said "I'll...stay here...".
The others were happy to hear that from her as Lucoa gave her answer as well.
"Guess I'm staying too!" She said.
"I wanna stay with Jessica and the others" Kanna said.
Jessica then picked up Kanna into her arms "Well that settles that" Jessica said happily "You all can stay here until we figure out what to do. Now, Who's hungry?". As soon as Jessica asked that question, The dragons stomachs all rumbled in unison, Getting them to blush in embarrassment.
"Well, Looks like we're all heading out then" Nanami said as she got up "This will be a good opportunity for you girls to understand the world that we live in, And see how different it is from yours".
This got Elma, Lucoa, Tohru, And Kanna to be very curious at this. They were now extremely interested in understanding the world that they were in. The 3 dragon girls got up as Lucoa happily raised her arms.
"Great! Let's get going!" She said.
"Wait!" Tohru said "What about Mr. Fafnir and Sean, And...stultus...".
Shino then had a narrow glare. "Knowing my stupid brother he's probably showing off his stupid collection to Fafnir! Ugh! I hate it when he acts like that" she said. However Shino then glanced over to see Lucoa oddly smirking at her, Causing Shino to blink in confusion.
'Why is...what's with Lucoa staring at me like that?' Shino thought until she then remembered something; That being their special blood and mind reading. This make Shino tense up as she then realized why Lucoa was smiling at her when she made that comment about her brother.
'Crap! S-she knows!' Shino thought until Tohru then rushed over to the door with Kobayashi in tow. "Come on, Miss Kobayashi! Let's go learn about this world!" Tohru said happily.
"H-hang on, Tohru! I'm coming!" Kobayashi said as the others followed. But Nanami called out to her brother "We're heading out, Sean! You, Makoto, And Fafnir be safe now okay!".
"Got ya!" Sean said from upstairs.
Nanami smiled as they then all left them alone to play teacher and get a bite to eat.
-meanwhile in Falmart-
Corthal was riding his favorite horse with his second-in-command, Mathias. The two were heading to Alnus hill, An area that is considered "Holy ground" to the Empire. The two men made there way to the large Greek-like building that stood on the hill known only as portam or the gate by many. It has been around for a very long time, And some wizards say that it could be the reason for the humanoids in their world.
The two made their way to the holy place as they got off their horses and walked over to the large structure. The gate had been around since Corthal was a child, And he had been both fascinated and obsessed about it ever since. But during his childhood it never opened, Not once. Corthal walked to the closed large doors as he stared at them. Mathias stood next to him.
"It seems once again, The portam is closed" Mathias said.
"I am aware that the portam is closed, Mathias..." Corthal said with a slight chuckle and a smirk "Still...I have come to this place every year. And still it won't open, Why?".
Mathias then looked at the building.
"Maybe it requires some sort of ritual?" He thought out-loud. Corthal pondered at that theory for a bit. "Or maybe we need to open it by force!" Corthal suggested.
Mathias shook his head at him.
"puer, I do not believe think that using viribus would open this gate" Mathias said "Maybe it shall open this year".
Corthal crosses his arms "Maybe..." he said "And once, Or in the case. Hopefully it does, Our hunter knights shall have the chance at it to gain our slaves this time! I am so looking forward to this gate opening! The unknown has always been a love of mine!" Corthal said with excitement.
-meanwhile with Sean-
"Ughh..." Makoto muttered as he was finally waking up from his unconscious sleep "What time is it?".
"Only 1:34pm" Sean said "The girls all left, Leaving us here".
Makoto leaned up as he looked over to see Fafnir playing kingdom hearts still. However, He was getting the hang of it and was becoming just as obsessed about it as Sean was. Makoto then got off the bed as he hen leaned down to their level.
"How long has Fafnir been playing the first game?" Makoto asker Sean. Sean looked at the clock until Fafnir gave a quick answer. "About over 3 hours now" Fafnir said "I've already cleared the first area and I am grinding to be 10 levels stronger for the next boss".
Makoto was impressed that Fafnir had taken a liking to the game so quickly. But he was also happy that the dragon had found something that he had loved. As Fafnir was playing, He then decided to speak.
"Sean, Was it?".
"Hm? What's up Fafnir?".
"About the elf statues...why do you have them?".
Sean then glanced at the many beautiful female elf figurines that were all next to his play arts kingdom hearts figures. Sean rubbed the back of his head and smiled a bit. "Well, About that..." Sean said "I...well, Have an elf fetish. D-don't get me wrong! I'm not absolutely obsessed about them! However...".
"Sean's always been attracted to thick elf girls, Especially ones that are both thick and busty. You can thank his old girlfriend, Miku for that" Makoto said with teasing smile as Sean glared at him as he was reaching for his keyblade.
"You're so dead, Makoto!" Sean said until Fafnir spoke.
"Interesting choice of taste" Fafnir said "In my lifetime, I've seen only a few elves. But I've never found them attractive at all, That goes to my favorite type of humanoids, Sirens" Fafnir said honestly. Makoto and Sean both looked at each other.
"Really?" They said, Getting a nod from Fafnir. Makoto and Sean then stood up as Makoto then snapped his fingers. "Say, Fafnir" Makoto said "I actually have this game and many others at my place, If you're interested in staying with me that is".
Sean smirked as he agreed with his friend "Makoto's right! He's got way more than I do as these are all I have. Plus I can come over and we can look over my paperwork too, What do you say?". Fafnir was quiet on his end until he then paused the game and looked at them.
"I'm interested" he said.
-meanwhile with the girls-
Lucoa, Jessica, Tohru, Elma, Kanna, Kobayashi, Shino, And Nanami were all in Jessica's car as they were driving into the city. Kanna was looking out the window at all of the other humans as well as the building last in awe.
"Ohhh! So this is a car!" Kanna said with amazement in her voice. Jessica glanced over at her with a smile "You like this, Huh, Kanna?" Jessica asked her as the young chaos draconian turned to her and nodded.
"Yes" Kanna said "I like this a lot".
"I'm glad".
Jessica then rubbed Kanna's head as Kobayashi and Tohru saw. Kobayashi smiled. "Kanna and Jessica are really liking each other" Kobayashi said "It's great to see her smile like that again after all those years".
"I see..." Tohru said as she was observing "By the way, Miss Kobayashi".
"Yes, Tohru?".
"Umm, Not to be rude. But why was miss Jessica all upset about having a wife and a child?". Kobayashi then crossed her arms as she looked at the car floor. "You see Tohru. Jessica used to be in love with this one girl 2 years ago" Kobayashi said "Well, They Both feel year over heels in love for one another and decided to get married after half a year of dating. That's when they decided to adopted a child".
"Wow, That doesn't sound so bad" Tohru said "It's actually quite cute".
"Yeah it was, But Jessica's wife had a very serious car accident that costed the lives of her wife and child" Kobayashi said bitterly "After that, Jessica was never the same. Always doing her rituals at night to drink away the pain. It never really worked, But, I guess she wanted to start fresh with Kanna the moment she saw her". Kobayashi finished.
Tohru was surprised as she then glanced over at Jessica who was showing Kanna how the radio worked, All the while smiling at Kanna as Kanna was smiling as well. Tohru approved of this, To see Kanna have a motherly figure was wonderful in her eyes. Kanna needed a mother in her life, And Jessica was doing a great job at that.
However as that was going on Nanami, Shino, Elma, And Lucoa were in the back talking.
"So you're a photographer, Nanami?" Elma said as she got a nod from her. "Yup! I sure am!" Nanami said proudly "I've been doing photography since college. And I want to expand my work even further too!".
Elma smiled at her, She was happy to see how much Nanami's work meant to her. However as that was going on, Lucoa was glancing over at Shino who quickly looked away from her gaze. Shino was sweating bullets, Lucoa knew about how she truly felt about her brother. And was afraid of what Lucoa would say to her. However...
"Hey, Shino" Lucoa said in a whisper "You thinking about your brother?".
"E-eh?!" Shino muttered "N-no...don't...be ridiculous, Lucoa".
"I can tell that you're lying" Lucoa teased making Shino blush, "And I kinda peeked into your mind when we had our first encounter. And it's okay if you like your brother romantically" Lucoa said Making Shino absolutely beet red.
"L-Lucoa, What the hell?!" Shino whispered. Lucoa then rubbed her head a bit as she smiled at her. "What? I'm just having fun" Lucoa said still smiling "However, I would to ask, How are you and your brother, Sean? Bonding wise?".
Shino then changed her attitude completely after hearing that, "Our relationship...isn't that great as it used to be..." Shino muttered "And I'm to blame for that...".
"Because you act like your mad at him, When in reality you love him so much" Lucoa whispered to her as she saw Shino nod. "I'm at the point that he might move away because of me...and I don't...want to him to leave me...". Shino then let a few tears come forth as Lucoa then wiped them away gently.
"Huh?".
"Hey now, You don't have to cry about it" Lucoa whispered "Just re-fix your relationship with him again and I'm sure that you'll both be in each other's arms in no time. As well as having fun in private time too" Lucoa finished with a smirk.
"Dammit, Lucoa..." Shino muttered as her body began to heat up.
The drive then came to a halt as the girls then got out of the car and walked onto the streets. The dragons were looking at everything that was around them, Everything was so much different from their world. However as they were walking, Elma then sniffed the air. Elma then quickly called out to the girls.
"Wait a minute everyone!" Elma said making everyone stop walking.
"What's wrong, Elma?" Kobayashi responded.
"I smell something sweet!" Elma said as she sniffed the air again "And it's close too!".
Kobayashi then sniffed the air as well until she figured out what the smell belonged to. "Oh, You're smelling ice cream, Elma" Kobayashi said as Elma tilted her head at her in confusion.
"Eyes...cream?" Elma said.
"Heh heh, No, ICE cream" Kobayashi said with a smirk on her face "Theirs an ice cream stand not too far from us. I can take you over there if you want one?". Elma started to get excited.
"Really?! You mean I can have one?".
"Sure, Come on. Let's get one".
Kobayashi then took Elma's hand as they walked over to the stand, Leaving a shocked and very jealous Tohru in absolute awe. The other girls took note of this. "Uh-oh" Lucoa said still smiling "It seems that someone is getting jealous...".
"Hehe, It would appear so, Lucoa" Nanami said. Kanna was holding Jessica's hand as they saw this, Kanna then tugged on Jessica's hand a bit.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Jessica asked Kanna.
"I'm hungry miss Jessica" Kanna replied. Jessica then picked Kanna up and placed her over her head "Aww Hun, I'm sorry" she said "Here, Let's go and get you something to eat right away!".
"Okay!" Kanna said as they left.
The others saw them leave as Lucoa, Nanami, And Shino were left. As well as Tohru Who was glaring at Elma with jealousy in her eyes. "Guess we should get something too instead of standing around" Nanami said. Shino and Lucoa agreed as they headed off, But not before Shino grabbed Tohru.
"H-hey! Shino!" Tohru said.
"Come on you!" Shino said "We're going to have fun".
"But I was having fun with miss Kobayashi!" Tohru said "I just want to be by her side".
"Well she's busy with Elma for now, Tohru" Lucoa said "Come on, It'll be fun with the four of us. Please". Tohru kept glaring at Kobayashi and Elma as she saw Elma's face and how excited she was at the ice cream that she had gotten. Tohru grinded her teeth until she just gave in.
"-sighs- alright, Fine..." Tohru said as she went with the others.
-meanwhile with Jessica and Kanna-
Jessica was still carrying Kanna on her back as they walked down the street. Kanna was looking at the people and buildings, Making sure to both understand her surroundings as well as ask questions about something that interested her curiosity. Kanna then pointed out at a crepe stand.
"What's that?" Kanna asked. Jessica looked over at the stand "Oh, That's a crepe stand" Jessica said "Do you want one?". Kanna gave nod as they went over as Jessica bought one for her. She held it for her as Kanna kept holding onto her back as she took a small bite out of it.
"It's sweet, Like the berries I used to find in the winter" Kanna said as she took another bite. "Really now?" Jessica said "Well, I'm glad that you're enjoying the treat, Just don't be Making it a habit or you'll get sick".
"Okay" Kanna said as she took another bite. However something was on Kanna's mind "Miss Jessica?". Jessica glanced up at her.
"Yes, Kanna?".
"What did you mean? When you said that you understood our pain?".
Jessica closed her eyes and sighed deeply. She then proceeded to explain to Kanna:
"Well...you see I used to be married to this girl that I had met. I was young, And wanted to settle down and raise a family. Well, 2 years ago I met this gorgeous woman and we both hit it off without any problems. And we got married in half a year of dating. It was fast, I know. But I was in love at the time. Well, We saved up enough money to adopt a child and we couldn't wait. She had just gotten the baby and was heading home...but...she got killed by a drunk driver and died instantly. As did the baby..." Jessica said.
Kanna was quiet on her end, She never knew that Jessica had that kind of baggage on her shoulders. That's when Kanna placed her hands on he sides of Jessica's cheeks.
"Kanna?".
"I'm sorry miss Jessica..." Kanna said "If it makes you feel any better, Can I...be your child?". Jessica didn't say anything for a bit before she then gently took Kanna off of her back and held her close to her chest. Kanna then looked up at Jessica who just cried and smiled at her.
"Yes!" Jessica said happily "You can be my child, Kanna!". Kanna just looked at her with stars in her eyes as she then placed her hands on her new mother.
-3 hours latter-
The girls had returned home after their little adventure, With much food thanks to the dragon girls. Jessica was holding four bags of groceries as were the girls. Kobayashi then pulled out the key. "Okay, Let's get this stuff into the house" Kobayashi said until the door opened as Sean stood at the doorway.
"Hey! You're back" Sean said as he got Kobayashi's bags as Makoto came as well. "Welcome back" Makoto said as he helped out Elma. Elma just looked at him a bit, For a human, He was quite attractive in her eyes. That's when she felt her heart start to beat faster than usual.
"Oh...umm, Th-thank you..." Elma said nervously. Lucoa looked at her and couldn't help but smile. 'Ohhh, Someone has already having feelings I see' Lucoa thought as everyone walked in as Makoto and Sean helped the girls out, As Fafnir was sitting at the living room chair looking over Sean's oc notes, As well as all his files. He had finished kingdom hearts and chain of memories in the few hours he had. Makoto had told him that he'll be looking forward to hanging out with him and Sean, As well as their friend Takeo Kurata down the road.
Fafnir glanced over at them as he looked back at the notes, Writing down new ideas that would benefit Sean's oc. As Fafnir was doing that, Everyone was in the kitchen putting things up.
"Okay" Sean said "So Makoto has gotten Fafnir to stay with him". This made Tohru and Kobayashi look at him. "Seriously?" Tohru said "How did you and stultus pull that off?" Tohru asked.
"Easy, Video games" Makoto said "Sean showed him his collection, And now he's hooked. So it would be okay for him to stay with me, Since I have more than Sean does".
"Wow, That's pretty impressive...for a bunch of humans anyway..." Tohru said.
"Hey!" Kobayashi said as she was standing next to her.
"Oh! You're an exception of course, Miss Kobayashi!" Tohru said with a sheepish smile. Sean and Makoto smiled at each other. "I'll go and get the guest beds ready" Sean said until Shino came over to him.
"I'll help you" she said.
"No, No. it's fine" Sean said with a narrow glare at her "You'd probably say that i did it horribly".
"Just..." Shino was silent as she glanced over at Lucoa who gave her a nod. Shino hen glanced back at Sean Who just had a raised eyebrow at her. "Just, Please let me help out. Okay?" Shino asked. Sean was a bit surprised by Shino's change in attitude.
"Well..." He said "this is odd, No yelling or arguing from you. Did something happen while you were out?" Sean asked. Shino then had a small smile on her face as she looked at her younger brother.
"You...could say that" Shino said as she then grabbed his hand "Come on! Let's go!".
Sean was about to ask another question, But Shino had already dragged him with her upstairs. Kobayashi, Jessica, Makoto, And Nanami all just watched. "That's new..." Kobayashi said "Not a single argument from them".
"Yeah..." Nanami said "I wonder why that is?".
Lucoa placed her hands behind her head "Who knows" she said "Maybe she wants to get along with her brother".
-3 days latter-
The three days had passed almost in an instant. In the past 3 days, The group of dragons and humans all started to get closer to one another. They even worked out living arrangements. Fafnir stayed with Makoto, Tohru stayed with Kobayashi as well as Elma, And Kanna and Lucoa stayed with Jessica, Shino, Nanami, And Sean.
Needless to say, Things had changed for the better...or for the worst.
-day 4, Kobayashi's apartment-
Kobayashi was in her apartment as today was her day off from work. In the past 3 days she had kept Tohru and Elma. And in those past 3 days, Kobayashi had to teach Tohru how to be a proper maid. However things were going on a slow start. As for Elma, She was actually free to do what she wanted. However, When Makoto had asked her if she wanted to hang with him and Sean, And Fafnir as they were going to meet a friend of theirs. She instantly said yes.
However Tohru couldn't help but be very jealous of how well Elma and Kobayashi were getting along. And it was driving her crazy.
Kobayashi was looking over at the breakfast that Tohru had made her. However, Something about it was off-putting.
"For the last time, Tohru! I will not eat your tail!" Kobayashi said to her as Tohru protested. "Awww! Come on!" Tohru said "It's a sign of my love and affection for you!".
"I'd rather drink your special blood..." Kobayashi said sarcastically until she then heard the sound of Tohru's hands turn into claws as she was about to cut herself. Thankfully Kobayashi stopped that quickly. "Wait! Wait! Wait! I was being sarcastic! I don't actually want you to do that!" Kobayashi said in a panic.
Tohru pouted at Kobayashi.
"But my blood is sweet and creamy! And it will make you live forever!" Tohru said as she leaned her face close to Kobayashi's "Forever...".
'Oh good god, Please help...' Kobayashi thought.
"I heard that! I can read minds ya know!" Tohru said until Elma came out to see the commotion.
"What's going on with you two?" Elma said wearing a shirt that was rather big on her. Elma had grown to like staying with her human friends, And she felt that her and Kobayashi were like sisters in a small sense of the way. Kobayashi had introduced her to many delicious foods, And she couldn't get enough of it. However Elma also had been questioning her personal feelings to Makoto as well, And could only turn to Kobayashi for advice on the matter.
Well, When Tohru wasn't within earshot.
"Oh hey, Morning, Elma. Sorry for waking you" Kobayashi apologized.
"No it's okay" Elma said "I was getting up anyway".
"You going to hang out with Makoto again?" Kobayashi asked her "They said that they're going to visit a friend of theirs today". Elma felt her heart skip a beat, She started to get red in the face as her tail moved back and forth rapidly.
"Y-yes! Of course I am!" Elma said frantically "J-just let me get dressed and I'll head out". Elma ran into her room and closed the door. Kobayashi and Tohru just looked at each other.
"You know what, I'm glad that Elma likes Takiya. Besides, They would make a great couple" Kobayashi said honestly. However Tohru thought otherwise about the matter. "I don't think that Elma should be going out with a person like " Tohru said with a narrow glare "I mean! Did you see what he did with Fafnir? I swear that man is a bad influence".
"And what about Sean? Remember he was the one who helped too" Kobayashi stated. Tohru then held up her finger to counter that statement, But she knew that Kobayashi had a point. "Dammit..." Tohru muttered "Well I like Sean, So he doesn't count!".
-meanwhile with Makoto-
Makoto, Fafnir, And Sean were on their way to see a friend of theirs that they wanted to introduce Fafnir to. In the past 3 days Fafnir had bonded with Makoto and Sean rather quickly when they introduced him to video games and other things otaku. He was instantly hooked, And even asked for Sean's oc paper for kingdom hearts. Fafnir and Sean were going over the paperwork as was Makoto when they were walking.
"And you're saying that I should drop the gravity spell altogether? Why?" Sean asked Fafnir as Fafnir was writing in a hard covered small book like notebook.
"Because gravity only puts pressure on the heartless" Fafnir said "If you want, You should trade that spell for teleportation instead. Giving you speed over power".
"I'm with Fafnir! Or! Hear me out on this...the 13 blades could be useful too" Makoto said as he was in his otaku mode. Sean pondered about the whole thing, He was sort of happy with his old current list. But after Fafnir was it, He made copies of it and re-wrote the whole thing for him.
"I guess that could work out" Sean said "After all, I'm only going for 23 spells". Fafnir wrote that down as he looked at him "And what about combat skills with your signature keyblade? How many do you have for that?" Fafnir asked.
"I have 10".
"Is that all you need?".
"Do you want my oc to be overpowered?".
"Yes, After all you're fighting heartless and nobody's. But you'll need keyblade armor too, And Maybe your own custom anti-form made from different heartless parts" Fafnir said as he wrote down the ideas for his oc. They kept walking until they heard running footsteps behind them.
"Elma is coming to join us" Fafnir said. "Oh?" Makoto and Sean both said in unison until they turned around to see Elma panting after she had ran after them after tracking Fafnir's energy. Elma breathed as she was getting her breath.
"Ah...ah...ah...I...finally caught up with you guys" Elma said as she leaned up to see Makoto standing in front of her still in his otaku mode. Elma had actually found it sort of cute 2 days ago. And she was hoping that she could be like him in a way. Makoto held out his hand to her.
"You okay, Elma?" Makoto asked her. Elma gently grabbed his hand as she leaned up. "Yes...I'm okay" Elma said "I heard that the three of you are going to see a friend of yours?".
Sean nodded at her as he then had his hands in his pockets. "We are" he said "His name is Takeo Kurata, He's a good friend of ours who's got a huge love for cat-girls". Elma was now a little interested to meet this person.
"Is he an otaku too?" Elma asked Sean.
"He is, And very fun to be around" Sean responded "Come on, We're almost to his house". Elma nodded as she followed them.
-Takeo Kurata's house-
The four were at Takeo's place as they stood at the doorway. Makoto then knocked on the door as he called out to him.
"Hey! Takeo! It's us. Sean and I" Makoto said "We brought over Fafnir and another one of our friends". The sounds of shuffling and the movement of feet were coming as the door opened up as Takeo opened the door to see his best friends.
"Hey! You guys made it!" Takeo said "My wise otaku, Makoto. And my good keyblade wielder, Sean. So, You guys told me that you have a new member to our circle?" Takeo said until he saw Elma with them. "Oh? And a lovely lady friend too to add as well. Awesome!".
Fafnir just looked at Takeo with his usual narrow expression as Elma leaned over to Makoto. "Is that a good thing that I'm a part of this?" Elma asked Makoto. Makoto glanced over at Elma and gave her a smile. "Yeah, Mostly because we've been trying to find at least one female member to add to our group. But if you're not interested in-".
"I'm very interested!" Elma said rather loudly as Takeo, Fafnir, And Sean looked at her. Elma blushed in embarrassment at her outburst, But soon then felt a hand on her head by Makoto. Elma then just got even redder than before.
"We can show you the ropes, Elma" Makoto said happily.
"I'd like that a lot, Makoto..." Elma said as she was looking away, Still blushing. Takeo then leaned over to Sean. "Sooo, Is that Makoto's girlfriend or something?" He asked. Sean smirked a bit as he was still looking at them.
"Hmm, Perhaps. But that theory is up to you, Takeo" Sean said "Anyway, You said that you had something to tell us that was super important?".
Takeo then snapped his fingers.
"Oh right!" Takeo said "Come on inside and I can tell you all about it".
The gang then walked inside of Takeo's house as they had much to do.
-Jessica and Kanna-
Jessica was driving Kanna to her first day at school. The two had bonded so well that Kanna had actually started to call Jessica "Mom". Jessica was happy to hear Kanna call her that, And Jessica felt much better with Kanna in her life. She had gotten rid of her alcohol collection and completely changed her life around. Lucoa had also bonded with the humans as well, Mostly with Shino and Nanami. She had managed to fix Shino's relationship with her younger brother, And the two had officially stop fighting and started to be like they had been when they were little. Much to everyone's relief.
Kanna had told Jessica that she wanted to go to school to understand humans more, Jessica was leery of letting her go. But after Lucoa persuaded her she agreed. Jessica stopped the car in front of the school.
"Have a good day at school sweetie" Jessica said.
"I will, Mom" Kanna said back as she then got out of the car, But not before running back and hugging Jessica. The two shared that short moment before Kanna ran off to her class, Leaving Jessica with a smile on her face.
"Heh, That's my girl" Jessica said.
-school-
Kanna had made her way to her classroom as she and the rest of her classmates were all present. Her teacher then introduced her.
"Now class, Today we have a new student. Her name is Kanna Hartman, She was adopted by her foreign mother not too long ago. And she will be our new student. Say hello to your classmates, Kanna" the teacher said.
"My name is Kanna Hartman. It's nice to meet you all" Kanna said getting her peers to look at her with excitement.
"Wow!" One student said.
"So cute!" Another student said.
However as Kanna was getting praise, One student in the back was just looking at her in jealousy. That person was eight year old Riko Saikawa. Riko just looked at Kanna as she crossed her arms. 'Humph! Why is she getting so much attention? Even though she's cute...' Riko thought to herself before the teacher spoke.
"Okay students, Remember that we'll all be going to the convention at the Ginza area tomorrow. So be sure to have your parents sign your field trip slips, I have to go and do something. But in the meantime, I want all of you to make Kanna feel welcome" the teacher finished as she then walked out of the room to take care for tomorrows trip.
The other students were speaking with Kanna to know her more, However Riko decided to join in as well.
"Kanna! Kanna Hartman!" Riko said "You're Getting way too much attention!".
"Oh boy, There goes Riko acting like a queen again" One student said. Riko smirked "Thank you for noticing, Now shut up! Nobody asked you!" Riko said.
Kanna just looked at her "You were saying?" Kanna asked Riko. Riko turned her attention back at her, "You bet I was! You're just so cute that I want to hug you forever!" Riko admitted. This was absolutely confusing for Kanna as she was trying to processes this in her head. Jessica and Kobayashi had told her about some human things, However...this was confusing.
"I challenge you Kanna Hartman! I'll prove to you that I'm better than-eh?".
Riko stopped talking as she then saw Kanna's head hanging low, And she and the rest of her class could hear her sniffling. "I...I just wanted to be friends..." Kanna said as Riko quickly tried to fix the situation she caused. "Oh shoot! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! The truth is that I want to be friends with too!" Riko said as she then pulled out a piece of candy "I-I have candy if you want some?".
"You know that we're not supposed to have candy in school, Riko" Another student said.
"Shut up!" Riko said as she looked over at Kanna and gave her the piece of candy "Here you go", Riko then gently placed He candy into Kanna's free hand as Kanna stopped crying and looked at it.
"You...want me to have this?" Kanna said.
"Y-yeah, W-we're friends aren't we?! That's what friends do!" Riko said frantically.
Kanna looked at her then at the piece of candy and blinked.
"Yeah, We're friends" Kanna said.
-meanwhile-
The sun was setting in Falmart, William was in his cell with Tyuule holding him as she was sleeping close to him. Whenever Zorzal was in the mood, He would ask either the guards or Corthal to get Tyuule for him. Tyuule and William shared the cell, As both a reminder and fuel to the nightmares of the incident 3 years ago.
Tyuule was sleeping soundly in Williams arms as she and him were under the purple cover, The only good piece of fabric that was given to him by Corthal. William was still thinking about his wife Delilah and her outcome.
'Delilah...I pray for your safety...' William thought as he then heard footsteps coming down the hallway. William leaned up as he then saw that it was Corthal. Corthal had on his bunny robe as he smiled while he stroked it gently.
"You know, For animals. They make beautiful for beautiful clothing. Wouldn't you say? frater?" Corthal said smugly. Corthal always made sure to come to the dungeon and happily insult and mock his brother for his extra free time, Knowing full well that William hated it.
"Is that why you're here?" William asked Corthal "To insult me like you always do?".
"No, frater" Corthal said "I'm only here for the scortum!" Corthal then pointed at Tyuule as he showed his disgust in her "surgere est sursum animalis!".
"nomen habet" William said back to Corthal with a narrow glare.
"non fueris locutus est mihi in patria lingua! memento, te non amplius familia membrum huius!" Corthal said back. William smirked at him.
"Fine with me..." he said as he gently woke up Tyuule "Tyuule...".
Tyuule moved a bit as she woke up from her sleep "Mmm, William?" Tyuule said. William looked at her for a bit before looked over at the cell door. Tyuule leaned up and saw Corthal, She knew what he was hear for.
"I'll get ready..." Tyuule said bitterly.
"Just make haste! And don't be long you beast!" Corthal said as he then walked away until a guard ran to him.
"Sire!".
"What is it?".
"I...have come baring news about the portam!" The Soldier said. This made Corthal's ears perk up.
"What about the portam?! What's the news!?" Corthal said with excitement in his voice. The soldier then spoke. "The portam! It has opened!".
A/n: wow! This took me around four days to get done! Okay sorry for the bumps in the road, And yes! We are going straight into the imperials invading Japan next chapter. And if you can't understand what I wrote in Latin, Don't worry. I used google translator for it. So just copy and paste.
Comments welcome! See ya!
