The Four Gods: The Dragon Heir
Japanese
Moring
I can't believe she's making me do this.
I thought as I brushed my teeth with my green tooth brush, and my minty toothpaste. I looked at my reflection sorrowfully.
I looked too much like my mother... the long blond hair that I had tied in a pony tail, the blue green eyes that were dark with sleepiness still, my healthy, soft, peach skin.
The only thing that was diffracted me from her was my Dragon Tattoo.
Dressed in just a pair of black sweat pants and a blue tank top, my feet were bare to let my toes wiggle freely.
Behind me was the chaos Ichigo was creating with clothes for our... Date.
I spit out the toothpaste into my sink and then grabbed the minty mouthwash and continued to clean my mouth as I let the sliver menace do as she pleased.
By Kami-sama would I regret that.
"Oh! Azure-chan!"
She called happily, calling me from somewhere in my room. She had too much energy for 5:30 in the morning.
"What?"
I asked, grumpily as I walked out of my bathroom and into the mess my cousin had made of my room.
My eyes widen at the racks, and piles of clothes around my room. A smiling Ichigo with a big square, sliver case in her hands.
She still had on her white tank top, and red sweat pants and some of her hair stuck out at every angle,
"Oh. Kami-sama have mercy."
I groaned out as Ichigo advanced on me, her smile looking sinister and evil.
Master Chambers
Goh Ryuujin, the Head of the Ryuujin clan, rested his chin on top of his interlaced fingers, resting his elbows on his desk that held stacks of impotent documents, a sleek blue computer, and a few pictures frames with his daughter, himself and his decided wife in them.
He looked at the three before him.
"Akatsuki."
"Goh."
Came a man's voice, its owner having black hair that was tied in a low ponytail that reached the middle of his back. The man's red eyes seemed to glow like a campfire compared to his lightly tanned skin. He wore a red robe and black belt around his waist. He looked to be no older then 27.
"Daichi."
"Sir."
Another man, about 27, with short light green hair that covered his right eye, the left was a soft blue color. Dressed in a yellow robe and light green belt, made his pail skin look as if it were glowing.
"Hazumi."
"Nay!"
A young girl with golden blond hair tied in two pigtails on either side of her head, and blue eyes. She looked to be no older then 15, wearing a tight, black t-shirt that showed off her curves, with a big strawberry on the front of it and black and red arm warmers o her lower arms, black skinny jeans and a pair of black combat boots spoke up.
All three males looked at the girl who covered her mouth with both her hands. Giving a nervous smile as she dropped her hands and her right rubbed the back of her head.
"You're old enough to speak human, and you can understand it. So why are you still talking like a seahorse?"
The man with the red eyes, Akatsuki, scolded the young girl or in this case, dragon. As the girl, Hazumi, inched closer to the safer dragon for protection.
The three before Goh Ryuujin were the human forms of his partner Akatsuki, the yellow dragon, Daichi, and his daughter's own partner, Hazumi.
"Akatsuki. That is not why I have called you here."
Goh stated firmly, getting the dragon's attention back on him.
"The reason I called for you is that Hazumi has informed me that my little girl is going on a blind date."
"WHAT!"
Akatsuki yelled letting out a roar of anger and he slammed his hands on his partner's desk.
"With who! When! Where! Why!"
The red dragon yelled out, acting like a protective father, and it wasn't that much different from Goh's reaction when Hazumi told him of the blind date.
Goh's eyes shifted to the female dragon as Akatsuki rounded on her, leaving deep dragon claw indents in Goh's wooden desk.
"Akatsuki! Calm your self."
Daichi interjected sternly, as he let Hazumi take shelter behind him from Akatsuki's dragon glare.
"Goh-san, can you give us more detail?"
Daichi asked the Ryuujin head who looked as unhappy as Akatsuki, no suprise.
"Ichigo was the one who set it up, with a man named Kureno Sohma."
Goh said as he reach for some papers that were on his desk, shuffling threw them.
"Soh-ma?"
Daichi questioned, the name sounding filmier to his ears but for all his six decades long memory was worth, he could not remember why or from where he had heard the name.
"You know of-"
Akatsuki was asking before Daichi shook his head.
"I'm afraid not."
"The Sohma's are a very old family. Dating back to the Sengoku period."
Goh explained as he looked at a piece of paper from the stack with the names of several families and/or clans.
"They are also one of the families we are invesagateing for the Godaime Kami."
Goh said as he set down the paper and showed it to the dragons. Daichi stepped forward to look at the list, standing beside Akatsuki, and Hazumi, having lost her dragon shield, scampered to the other side of Daichi to look at the list.
A number of names were on it, but the one they were looking at was highlighted in blue.
The Sohma Clan
Along side the family's name was the name of its head and his wife, Akira and Ren Sohma.
"The head is already married?"
Daichi asked in confusion as he looked up at Goh who was still stone faced.
"Nay. Nay nay nay."
Hazumi said as she tugged on Daichi's kimono pointing to the group of dates. Looking at the dates, he understood why the Sohma's were still being investigated for the Godaime Kami.
"He's dead?"
Daichi question and looked up at Goh. Who took out a rather thick blue folder with the label, Sohma, on the tab.
"This information is outdated."
Akatsuki growled, annoyed by the lack of current data before looking up at his partner.
"I'm assuming he had an heir before his passing."
Goh, nodded and handed Daichi the folder, being the one most likely to make better use of it.
"Yes, but what with the shear number of Sohma's and the fact that they have their own clan doctors makes it difficult to gather information to determine which child is his and the age of that child."
Daichi flipped threw the folder before he came across the name Kureno in the file. Attached to the first page was a copy of his birth certificate, school transcript, and family background. As well as a small photograph of a teenager up on the top left corner, that too was clearly out dated, making him a man of about 27 years of age.
"Estimating between the time he married his wife and the time of his death. His child must be in with in the age range of 24 to 14."
Daichi stated as he looked at Goh, Akatsuki let out a low grow in his chest, a deep frown on his face. After all, there was still a possibility that they had the Godaime Kami in their family.
Much Later, Jazzy Jazz Café
"Azure-chan, stop your pouting. It's unattractive."
Ichigo scold her blond cousin as she waged a finger at her.
Azure glared at the sliver haired beauty sitting next to her, as her cousin quietly sipped her jasmine tea from a pure white tea cup, pinky out.
"It wasn't my idea to have a group blind date."
She countered, as she stabbed her slice of cherry pie, and popped it into her mouth, savoring the taste for a bit before letting it slip down her thought. Picking up her own tea cup filled with plum blossom tea and taking a quite sip.
"If you start eating like Uncle Goh your gonna get really, really, really, really, really, real-"
"Ichigo."
Zetsu warned her best friend, getting annoyed with her scolding their cousin. As she took a bite out of her blueberry muffin.
"Fat."
Ichigo finished, which caused her younger cousin to nod a thanks to the grouchy, don't-talk-to-me-till-my-second-cup, Kamegami.
"I do not eat like my father. And even then it's not like we have to worry about calories or fats or what ever."
Azure grumbled, blushing as she was unconformable with the clothes her ecstatic cousin made her wear. She was gaining the unwanted attention from the male sex, as quite a few men that were in the café eyed her and her cousins, even the employees of both genders.
"Yeah but you eating your feelings is not a good way to let them out."
Ichigo countered, one pink manicured nail with sliver, sparking glitter pointed at her little cousin.
"I do not eat my feelings."
Azure fought back, sounding offended, a slight pink on her cheeks as she continued to eat her pie. Cherries where one of the few human foods she could eat without any bad side affects.
"You do."
Zetsu supported her best friend, making Azure raise and eye brow, looking at her usually silent cousin who set her coffee cup down and fixed her a stern look.
