Title: Sister of Dragons

Summary: A series of one-shots revolving around a girl from our world being born into theirs, but not as any regular person, but as the sister, older or younger, of a Dragon. Whether it be the Original Dragons or the Present, expect Fluff and Angst Galore!

Word Count: ~550

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Akatsuki No Yona; but Chae-Seon is of my creation.

Notes: Decided this would be a so-so entry into the Twin Sister of Shin-Ah Universe. Mostly little kid centered since something happens after Ao's death. Only gives me four years to work with…not even that, since infancy barely counts as useable material. So a lot of Shin-Ah Sibling fics, at least these entry ones, are short little things.

Warnings: Alternative Universe, Original Character, Language, Violence, Blood, Emotional Angst, etc.

"I'm back."

Shin-Ah looked up eagerly at the sound of the familiar voice—he had seen her coming, but had been busy helping Ao by trying to sweep—before freezing, the smile falling off his face. Panic built up in him.

"Ch-Chae-Seon!" He stammered, hurrying over to his sister. She was covered in blue and purple marks! They weren't blue like Ao or their hair, so he knew it had to be bad! He had seen them on the people that Ao beat up, but Chae-Seon wasn't bad, why would someone hurt—

"I'm fine, Shin-Ah." Answered his sister gen. "I just got into a fight with the other kids."

A snort was heard from behind them and Shin-Ah turned around to look and see Ao over by the water basin. He seemed tense, though. "And I bet you did nothing to provoke them?"

"Pr…provoke?" Asked Shin-Ah questioningly, wondering what it meant.

Chae-Seon looked over to him. "Provoke means to purposely bother someone," She explained. "To the point that they retaliate…that they react. And, for your information, Ao," She looked over to the older Seiryuu. "They had it coming. I just can't do anything back as a four-year-old."

Ao snorted again, returning to whatever he had been doing before. "Some four-year-old…" He muttered under his breath. Shin-Ah didn't know what he meant, but he agreed that he thought Chae-Seon was strange. A good strange.

"Are…you okay…?" Asked Shin-Ah finally, worryingly looking at each and every bruise on his sister. He knew that she had to have more, but she had told him not to look through people's clothes so…

Chae-Seon smiled, her eyes soft to his Dragon Eyes. Shin-Ah really liked her smile. Ao didn't smile much, and when he did they didn't seem as warm as hers, but he definitely liked those better than the looks the other villagers gave them. Chae-Seon's smile, though, were the nicest. When she went into the village, and Shin-Ah was secretly watching her from afar, her face seemed so…cold. Like stone, if that made sense. He sometimes feared that she would come back one day and would keep that expression forever, but she always seemed to 'thaw' for him and Ao. He wondered why every time, but decided it was because Chae-Seon was a really good person.

"I'm okay," Answered Chae-Seon, ruffling his hair like Ao did sometimes; it made him feel really happy. "Bruises heal, so I may look like this for a while, but it'll eventually go away."

Go away… Shin-Ah didn't want Chae-Seon go away. He realized he had said that out loud because Chae-Seon suddenly frowned. If he was paying attention, he would see that Ao had stopped what he was doing as well, a strange expression on his face.

"I'm not going anywhere," She said quietly, but firmly. "I promise."

His eyes opened and he found himself back in the underground cave, sitting against the wall as he slowly awoke from slumber. If it wasn't for the fact that his dream had been so vivid, he would still think himself asleep. On his shoulder, Ao gave a questioning 'pukyuu?' but he didn't answer.

'I promise.'

Despite knowing he wouldn't find anything, he found himself looking around the cave from side to side. There wasn't anything there, no matter how hard he looked with the Eyes of Seiryuu, but he still couldn't help the small yearning in his heart.

'I promise.'

She promised…but she couldn't keep it.

So this is part of the whole Cursed Twin Arc with Shin-Ah as the brother. I was totally meaning for this one to be more centered on Ao and Chae-Seon, but then I wanted to have something from Shin-Ah's POV (he's surprisingly difficult to write). So I decided this would be a decent entry fic into the Cursed Twin Universe (Though I have three more fics already written for this Universe…though all from Chae-Seon's POV lol).
