Disclaimer: the only one I own in this story is Kiashi. I don't own Inuyasha or Yu-Gi-Oh. Is that understood!
Sunlight seeped through the windows, but a shadow covered Kaiba's face. He cracked an eye open and saw Jikoru, not a bit transparent, but completely solid. Jikoru was grinning at him and he wanted to know why. "What?" Kaiba asked.
"Nothing," Jikoru replied. "Only happy that we get to see Kagome and Kiashi again today and the fact that I can hear my own heartbeat after hundreds of years."
"I didn't agree to meet Kagome today."
"From what I heard, you did. You said 'Can't wait' when Kagome left last night. You may have whispered it, but dragons have really good hearing. Better than a dogs hearing, no doubt."
"Fine. Do you think that you can get off my chest?"
"A simple please would have been nice, but I guess that would have to do." Jikoru got off of Kaiba's chest and jumped onto the floor. He sat on his hind legs with his tail curled around him, staring at his master getting out of his bed. Kaiba walked over to his closet and got dressed in his usual outfit. As he walked out the door, his turned and looked at Jikoru.
"I might as well introduce you to Mokuba so he doesn't panic when he sees you later in the future."
Jikoru nodded and walked next to Kaiba. He wasn't sure if Kaiba would allow him to ride on his shoulder, so he didn't try. He just hid behind his master's leg until Mokuba came by. No one that Kaiba passed by seemed to notice the little dragon that was with him, which Jikoru didn't mind. Neither did Kaiba. Mokuba came running down the hall from his room, straight towards his big brother. Mokuba stopped running before he ran into Kaiba, sliding along the floor since he didn't have his shoes on, only socks. "Hey big bro," Mokuba greeted.
"Morning, Mokuba," Kaiba greeted back. Jikoru backed away a little when Kaiba kneeled in front of Mokuba, staring at him straight in the eyes. "There's someone I want you to meet." Kaiba turned his head slightly, enough so that he could see Jikoru. Jikoru took the hint and came closer, sitting right next to Kaiba. Mokuba looked shocked at what he was seeing.
One word left Mokuba's mouth. "Wow." He looked at his big brother and asked, "Is it real?"
"Yes," Kaiba responded, "very real and very annoying."
Jikoru snapped his head towards Kaiba's direction and lowly growled before snapping his head in the opposite direction.
"He has a bit of an attitude, doesn't he?"
"Yes, he does." Jikoru ignored that since he was used to it. Before his family died, his brothers used to say that. He knew they were only teasing him.
"What's his name?"
Jikoru answered this one. "My name's Jikoru, the White Light dragon."
"White Light? I thought you were called the Blue Eyes White Dragon."
"That is what you humans call me. My kind is naturally called the White Lights."
"Cool. Hey, Seto, can I go play with him somewhere?"
"Do I look like a toy!" Kaiba and Mokuba ignored him.
But Kaiba answered his brother. "Sorry, Mokuba. Not today. We need to see someone about him. Maybe tomorrow."
"Okay," Mokuba said in a disappointed tone.
Kaiba stood up and ruffled his brother's long, messy black hair. "Behave today, okay?"
"I promise!" Kaiba nodded, turned, and walked down the hall with Jikoru still behind him. Mokuba ran down the halls again in the opposite direction to get his shoes and spy on his brother. His brother didn't see, but Mokuba crossed his fingers behind his back.
With Kagome
Kiashi opened the curtains and allowed the new sunlight to pour onto Kagome's face. Kagome groaned and hid under the covers. Kiashi jumped from the window sill and onto Kagome's bed. She started to jump on Kagome's side in order to wake her up. Eventually, Kagome got annoyed with the Black Fire and threw the covers off, covering Kiashi in the process. Kagome smirked and got out of bed. She walked over to her closet and took out a blood red tank top along with a leather skirt. She changed into them and put on her knee-high boots that were next to her door. She looked into the mirror and saw how the outfit looked. The shirt covered half of her flat stomach as the skirt went down to her mid-upper leg. Kagome grabbed the brush off of the table and started to fix her bed hair to where it looked like it never had tangles in her life.
"It's a flight lesson," Kiashi said. "Not a date."
Kagome put her brush down when she was done and looked at her dragon. "Who ever said it was a date?"
"You're acting like it is."
"Since when? I'm acting like it is a normal day."
"No, you're acting like you have a date."
Kagome ignored the dragon in order to prevent the argument to go any further. She picked Kiashi up and allowed the dragon to crawl up her arm and onto her shoulder. She walked behind Kagome's neck to the point where her tail and hind legs were over Kagome's left shoulder, her body behind Kagome's neck, and the rest of her on Kagome's right shoulder. Kagome walked out of her bedroom door and down the stairs towards the kitchen. She made some toast for herself and Kiashi, who only ate it when she put extra cinnamon on it. When she heard footsteps coming downstairs, she rushed to the front door and quickly, but quietly, opened it, slipped out, and closed it. She decided to walk around for a while before Kaiba called her. She wasn't sure if he would or not, but she could always hope. Some people where staring at the dragon that was riding on her shoulders, wondering why she wore it and where she got it. That was only the females. The males, on the other hand, were looked at what she was wearing. She got many cat calls and some whistles. That wasn't just making her mad, but it was making Kiashi furious. If it wasn't for the fact that she could be taken away if she revealed herself, she would have scorched all of the people hitting on her master.
Every now and then, Kagome heard the dragon on her shoulder growl at the calls she was receiving. Kagome patted Kiashi on the neck and smiled a bit before lowering her hand. Kagome went back to the dueling place to see if she could find a challenge. She noticed that there were barely any people there. Probably because it was too early in the morning. "Most people are so lazy," Kagome said to Kiashi who just snickered a little. She wasn't loud enough for anyone, but Kagome, to hear.
"Who knows," Kiashi whispered. "The early ones might be the real challenge."
"You might be right. Let's see if we can find one."
Kagome walked around and was eventually challenged by someone. She accepted it. Her challenger was a boy about her age with black hair and brown eyes. He wore a white shirt with a black jacket over it and blue jeans. He pulled out his deck and duel equipment, as did Kagome. (Just 2 remind every1, I made up Kagome's cards!)
"Duel!" they said at the same time. Ironically, Kaiba came in when they said that and noticed that Kagome was the one dueling, so he decided to watch. Jikoru was on his shoulder as well, except he was in a different position. His tail wrapped around Kaiba's arm as his front legs held onto his shoulder and his back legs were behind his back. His head was right next to Kaiba's ear so that he could whisper things and not let anyone else hear him.
Kagome was the first to speak for the duel. "I'll go first." She drew a card from her deck and added it to the five in her hand. She took a different card from her hand and said, "I summon Lightning Hatchling, in Defense Mode!" A card appeared on the field facing towards Kagome's opponent as a baby lightning dragon came out of it. Its scales were a pale yellow and its eyes were big. It showed that it was indeed a baby. Its attack points were 500 and its defense was 1000. It wasn't much. "I also place two cards face down." A couple of cards appeared on the field facing downward. "Your move."
"Ha!" the boy said. "Is that the best you can do?" He drew a card from his deck and, unlike Kagome, he played it. "I activate Masaki the Legendary Warrior, in Attack Mode." A samurai with green armor appear on the battle field. Its attack points were 1100 and its defense was the same. "Attack the Lightning Hatchling!"
The samurai charged forwards, but Kagome didn't seem worried. She only called out, "I activate my trap card! Protective Mother!" A pure white dragon emerged from the card and destroyed the samurai. It went back to the hatchling and wrapped itself around it. "Allow me to explain what she does. She's a permanent trap card that will stay on the field as long as there is a hatchling. She will destroy any monster that attacks a baby dragon, but won't take any life points away. Be thankful for that."
The boy scrunched his face in annoyance. "Fine. I'll play two cards face down and end my turn."
"Very well, if that is all that you can do." Kagome drew a card and looked at it before adding it to her hand. She took a card out of her hand and placed it onto the field. "I activate the Trap Seeker! You see, it's a dragon that can sniff out trap cards in a second. When it finds them on the field, it will attack and destroy them." A dragon with white eyes and silver scales appeared on he field and went over to the opposite side, sniffing at the cards to see if either of them was a trap. It growled and attacked the left card that was Mirror Reflector. (Or I think that's what it's called.) The dragon disappeared after checking the other card. "Well, there goes your trap. Lightning Hatchling, attack him directly!" The baby lightning dragon started to spark before leaping at the boy, attacking him and decreasing his life points by 500. His life points were now 3500. "That's all I'll do for now."
"Thanks." The boy drew another card from his deck and placed it in his hand. He pulled out a different card and yelled out, "I play Muka Muka!" A bug with red eyes, pincers, and some things that had smoke coming out of its back. "Just to let you know, this card has an effect. For every card in my hand, its attack and defense points go up by 300. And since I have five cards, his attack points go from 600 to 2100, and its defense goes from 300 to 1800!"
"Wow. You can do math. In case you forgot, Protective Mother is still in affect."
"I know. This guy will just make sure that you don't attack my life points again. I end my turn."
"Hm, a big monster with a lot of attack points that could destroy my hatchling if I choose to attack with it. What is a girl to do?" Se drew a card from her deck and said, "How about this? Fire Hatchling in defense mode." A baby dragon with golden eyes and bright red scales was summoned onto the field next to Lightning Hatchling. Its attack and defense points were the same as Lightning Hatchling. "Now I sacrifice Lightning Hatchling to summon Lightning Dragon in Attack Mode!" The baby lightning dragon disappeared only to be replaced by a larger dragon. It looked the same, except its scales were a darker yellow. Its attack points were only 1900 and its defense was 2500.
"That card's too weak to get rid of Muka Muka."
"Who said that he would attack you monster? I activate the magic card Raigeki to get rid of you Muka Muka!" A lightning strike came down and destroyed the boy's monster, leaving him open for an attack. "Now lightning Dragon, attack him directly!" The lightning dragon opened its mouth and shot a beam of lightning towards the boy. (If you have ever seen Zatch bell, its like the Zakerga spell. I do not own any Zatch Bell things that might show up in here!) It hit the boy and decreased his life points to 1600. "Now Fire Hatchling! Attack him directly as well!" The baby fire dragon shot a ball of fire towards the boy and decreased his life points to 1100. "I'll play a card face down and end my turn."
"Good. I play Frenzied Panda, but he won't stay out for long. I sacrifice him to summon Ryu-Ran in Attack Mode!" An egg shell that was broken in half with holes where its wings and legs came out. There was also a hole just above the crack, where the claws laid, and showed a pair of glowing yellow eyes. Its attack points were 2200 and its defense points were 2600. "Now attack Lightning Dragon!" A red dragon burst from the egg and headed towards the larger dragon.
"I activate my trap Sacrifice Dragon!" A transparent dragon appeared in front of the Lightning Dragon and took the hit from Ryu-Ran. "Sacrifice Dragon is pretty much a spirit dragon that will willingly take a hit for a companion."
The boy took a small step back and held a frustrated look on his face. "Whatever. I'll place a card face down and end my turn."
"You don't make you turns very long, do you?" Kagome drew a card from her deck again and played it. "I activate Dragon of Rage! It's a simple magic card that will give my Lightning Dragon 1000 points." Lightning Dragon's attack points increased from 1900 to 2900. "Attack Ryu-Ran!" The Lightning Dragon destroyed the dragon in the shell and decreased the boy's life points from 1600 to 900. "Next I'll play Encouraging Father. It will increase my Fire Hatchling's attack and defense points by 500." Fire Hatchling's attack points increased from 500 to 1000. "Now finish him off, Fire Hatchling!" The fire baby sent a ball of fire towards the boy again and took the rest of his life points away. "I win." She walked away from the field as soon as the holograms faded out.
She walked over to the doorway and noticed that Kaiba was standing there. "Nice duel," he complemented. "Finished him in a few moves."
"I was hoping for a challenge, but I guess I'll have to find one later. Do you want me to teach you how to ride Jikoru while he flies?"
"Might as well," Kaiba responded.
"Then let's go somewhere so that these two can stop acting like shoulder pieces."
Kaiba nodded and walked out the door with Kagome next to him. Kiashi was still on Kagome's shoulder, seeming as if she was just something to put around the neck, but if you looked close enough, you could see that she was glaring at Jikoru. When they got to the park, they went to a wooded area. When they got to a good spot, Kiashi let out a low growl. Kaiba was wondering why the dragon growled. He saw her jump off of Kagome's shoulder and grew to the point where her body was the size of an elephant. Her neck and tail were as long as her body for an exception of a few feet longer. Jikoru jumped off Kaiba's shoulder and grew to the same size as Kiashi.
"Aren't you worried that someone will come along and see them?" Kaiba asked.
"No," Kagome answered. "There aren't any humans for a mile. No one would see them." Kagome walked over to Kiashi and started to pet her neck. Kiashi lowered her head and listened to what Kagome was saying in her ear. Kaiba didn't hear anything. He didn't even think she was talking until Kiashi raised her head and nodded. "Jikoru, come here for a minute." Jikoru walked over to her like she asked. She went to his side and seemed as if she was inspecting him. "Kaiba, come here." He went over next to Kagome and waited for her to speak again. "The best place to ride a dragon is in front of its wing joints so that it doesn't hit you every time it flaps. It's kind of like riding a horse, if you ever rode one. Just get on his back in front of his wings and hold on." Kagome walked over to Kiashi and patted her neck. "If you want him to get a little lower so you can get on, pat his neck." Kiashi lowered herself and allowed Kagome to get on her back.
"I don't even know why I'm doing this," Kaiba said to himself.
"Well," Kagome replied. "Since you have a dragon now, you might as well get used to riding him. There are barely any disadvantages to it. You know that he never leaves you for very long or is never very far away, so imagine yourself stranded somewhere because you helicopter or jet or whatever decides to break down. If you don't learn how to ride him correctly, I don't want to talk about what could happen."
"Fine." Kaiba said. Jikoru lowered himself as Kaiba climbed on. Jikoru stood on his hind legs and spread his wings, flapping them every five or ten seconds.
"Calm down, White Light," Kiashi said. "He still isn't used to riding a dragon, so don't go jumping around like a yearling being rode for the first time."
"Nice way of putting it, Kiashi," Kagome sarcastically said.
"Even though that as sarcasm, thank you, I thought it was."
"Moron." Kagome motioned Kiashi forward and the dragon complied. She stopped when she was in front of Jikoru and got something out of the bag that she carried, which Kaiba just noticed she had. Jikoru saw what Kagome pulled out and lowered his head. It looked like a mask that was big enough to cover a dragon's mouth with rope attached to both sides. "Since you aren't used to riding a dragon, I'll put this on him so that you can hold on. Trust me, you're going to need it. When a dragon takes off, it takes off. A dragon is not exactly fastest on feet, but they can still run up to 100 mph. When they fly, 500 mph. They are very quick. This is just the tamed ones. Good luck catching a wild dragon." Kagome put the dragon mask on Jikoru and threw the rope over his head so that Kaiba could get it. "In case you're wondering why I don't use normal reins on dragons, it's because you should never force anything into a dragon's mouth. You won't like the consequences, even though everyone else would find it funny. Also, there are no such things as a dragon saddle because anything tied around a dragon's body can hurt them. A saddle, for example, could slow their breathing down and make them go slower and get exhausted faster. Never force a dragon to increase its speed unless you have a good reason. They would naturally go at a constant speed, but when it slows down, let it land and rest."
"Did you forget anything?" Kiashi asked.
"Don't think so. Anyway, the rules for riding a dragon are similar to the rules of riding a horse. So what do you say? Want to give it try?"
"Sure, I'm going to have to get used to it sooner or later."
Kagome nodded and said, "Just follow us, and try to sit still. If a rider doesn't stay still, the dragon can't concentrate as well and the rider might fall off. It has happened before." Kiashi squatted down and jumped into the air, spreading her wings before she was half way up. Jikoru did the same. He flew next to Kiashi, who was just enjoying the view.
Jikoru looked around and said to himself, "Feels nice to stretch my wings again."
Kiashi snorted and lightly hit the White Light on the head, instantly catching his attention. "Pay attention, would you? We're going somewhere that you haven't been to in a while."
"Really? Where?"
"You're an idiot," Kiashi groaned.
"So I'm told," Jikoru joked, smirking to Kiashi.
"Knock it off, guys," Kagome said. The dragon's nodded and Kiashi flew to the east, increasing her altitude as she flew. Jikoru followed her. When he flew next to her, Kagome saw that Kaiba was getting the hang of it. She looked over to him and called out, "Well, aren't you a fast learner."
Kaiba looked over and replied, "I had to study hard and learn fast when I was younger. Guess I made a habit of listening to things and doing exactly what they say."
"Maybe." Kagome closed her eyes for a minute and allowed the wind to blow her hair. "Look ahead," Kagome said to Kaiba. She felt a pair of eyes on her and knew who it was.
Kaiba faced forward and saw a swirl of wind and blue. "What is that?" he asked.
"That is a portal that will take us to the world of dragons. No humans, demons, or anything but dragons there. There are many different regions where various breeds of dragons live. Nature in that world is unlike the nature here." She cracked an eye open and looked at him before adding, "You can see for yourself." Kiashi flew through the portal as Kagome closed her eye again with Jikoru right behind her. The scent of fresh rain filled Kagome's nose along with the scents of different kinds of plants. She knew which region the entered. She opened both of her eyes this time and said, "Welcome to the Forest Region." She looked over to Kaiba to see that he was interested in the place.
"How did another world come into existence?" he asked.
"The first Dragon Ruler made this world for the dragons to live in peace and free. In our world, in the past where dragons used to live before this place was created, many people caught and used dragons for wars. Dragon's are naturally peaceful and free spirited. You strip the dragon of its freedom, you might as well not call it a dragon."
"What about the ones that have masters?"
"There aren't many of those around, but the ones that are, they are willing to have masters. Dragons can sense if someone is good or bad and always choose the good ones. They can still do whatever they want, so they aren't stripped from their freedom. The ones in the past were caught and forced to have masters. Very different from the dragons with masters now." Kagome looked down and saw a spot that seemed big enough for a landing. "Want to land and explore the place?"
Kaiba looked over to her and nodded. Kiashi started to descend as Jikoru continued to follow. Kiashi landed on her hind legs and lowered her front legs to regain her balance. Jikoru did the same. He looked around the clearing and smirked. He was enjoying the plant life around him, as was Kaiba. There weren't places like this anywhere near the city. Not even the woods in the park were this fresh and clean. The air was clean and crisp. Kaiba saw Kagome get off of Kiashi, so he did the same. It wasn't like him to do things that people tell him to do or anything that he sees. Why he was doing it now, he didn't know. He wasn't going to think about it right now though. He was curious about this place. He noticed that Kagome wasn't around, but Kiashi was. "Where's Kagome?" he asked the female dragon.
"She went to go get a snack," Kiashi replied. "She'll be back in a few."
Not long after she said that, Kagome came back into the clearing with her pack over her shoulder. It looked like it was filled with something. She walked over to them and placed the pack on the ground in front of her. She opened it to reveal that the pack was filled with all kinds of fruit. She took out an apple and handed it to Kaiba. "Try and compare that to the apples in our world." She pulled out an apple for herself and gave the rest of the fruit to Kiashi and Jikoru. There was enough for them to split.
Kagome looked over to Kaiba who looked like he was savoring the apple. It was sweeter and juicier than any other apple he had. "Clean air, clean water, no pollution, things here grow to be a hundred times better than in our world, don't you agree, Kaiba?" Her only response was a simple nod. "Maybe later, we could go see the other regions. What do you say?"
Kaiba swallowed and looked at her. He was pretty much free today, so why not? "Sure," he replied. He looked around as he continued to eat the apple. The leaves were as green as green can get. There was a small pond in the clearing that was also half way in the forest. The water was so clear that he could see the bottom.
"Like what you see?" Kagome asked.
Kaiba looked at her and nodded a bit. This place was indeed different from their world and certainly seemed better. Then something struck him. Kagome said that this was the world of dragons, yet the only dragons he had seen were Kiashi and Jikoru. "Where are the other dragons?"
"They're around," Kagome answered. "You'll probably see some hatchlings later on when we go walking around." She looked over to the dragons and smiled. They seemed to be happy, especially Jikoru. Kiashi seemed like she was getting used to the White Light dragon, but was still trying to avoid him as much as she could. "They seem happy," Kagome said as she took another bite out of the apple.
"I'm curious," Kaiba said, "why does Kiashi hate Jikoru so much?"
"It's their kind. Black Fires and White Lights never got along very easily since one is the opposite of the other and the same the other way around, besides the fact that they both enjoy different things. Like White Lights enjoy being out in the open with tons of light, but Black Fires like to be in the shadows with as little light as possible. The only light they get is the light of a fire. Their kind never got along well when both breeds used to thrive. Just like Jikoru is now the last breathing White Light, Kiashi has been the last of the Black Fire for centuries."
"Centuries?"
"Yeah. Dragons live a really long time, you know. No one really knows how long they can live, but dragons can outlive anything."
"Hn. How long was it since she became the last Black Fire?"
"About six centuries ago. When her father died, she became the last of the kind. There won't be anymore more Black Fires in the future, only ones that are part Black Fire. And if that happens, you know that they're all going to be related."
"True."
"Come on, there are still a lot more regions to see." Kagome grabbed Kaiba's hand and lead him towards the dragons, who finished eating the fruit. "We don't have to ride if you don't want to. We can always walk."
"Either way is fine with me."
Kagome smiled and lead him into the woods. The dragons were by their masters' side or right behind them the whole time.
