Ryu- ZZZZ
Black Dragon- Hey, wake up......
White Dragon- WAKE UP!
Ryu- (Jumps) Wah, oh. Uh, sorry, was up all night doing my project. Here's the next update, oh, and there will be more speech, for purposeful reasons.
yuki-nekolin – Yeah, since the two have history together, she would have come up with a name, and don't worry, once the fiction progresses, things will be clearer.
Shiroix3- Yup, Dragon does live. Titles must last forever.
Tsuki no Akebono- Thanks.
wind-master-redmoon – Well, if I told you about the flames, it'd be a spoiler, so you might need to wait, but bits of the whole explanation will be told.
HikariNoTenshi-San – Well, here's the next chapter for ya.
Destiny
The next morning was like any other for Tsuna. Get rudely awakened by Reborn, have little to no breakfast, meeting up with with your only pack members so far, and getting to homeroom, but that was when things became different.
First, Mukuro's gang arrived in a shroud of mist. Some of the girls squealed at this. Then the teacher announced that there would be a new student.
When the new student came in, his jaw dropped.
It was Dragon, but she was wearing the boy's school uniform, and somehow, she herself look like a boy.
"Good morning everyone. Please to meet you. I am Zodiac Dragon, I prefer if you call me by my given name, not my family name." Dragon said as she bowed. Judging by her tone and expression, Tsuna assumed that she was using her "Black" personality.
Surprisingly, most of the girls, and some of the boys, seemed to have gained heart eyes. All the while, Tsuna could catch every single thing that everyone said.
"Wow, he's a fox and he looks so charming." At that, Tsuna noticed that Dragon did have fox attributes.
"Whoa, I'm a guy, but I think I've fallen in love." Tsuna twitched at this comment. "Oh, he looks so cute with the fox ears and tail." Tsuna thought this comment was okay.
"Kufufu. It seems Dragon hasn't changed." Tsuna was about to say something when suddenly a rock hit Mukuro square in the face. Tsuna looked in the direction of Dragon, but did not see any signs that she threw it.
It was like it came out of thin air.
"Okay, Dragon-san, please sit next to Rokudo-san." The teacher said. At this, Dragon's eye twitched, but she complied.
'I guess she's still angry at Mukuro.' Tsuna thought, and soon, lunch came around. Tsuna sensed trouble would occur.
"Kufufu. Would you like to eat lunch with me, Dragon?" Mukuro said. "You should already know my answer." Black Dragon said. (1)
"Oh, but I have mochi." Mukuro said while holding it out. (2) Dragon seemed to visibly tense. Then suddenly her emotionless expression gained a very cheery smile.
"Thanks for the mochi." White Dragon said. Mukuro was about to say something, but was cut off. "Hey, did you know if I take this ring off of my tail, I get nine tails?" White Dragon said.
"What does that have to do with any- oh." Mukuro said, fully understanding. Dragon waited for everyone except Tsuna's pack and Mukuro's gang to leave. Then she smiled and took off the ring, her tail divided into nine and grew longer and puffier.
"Don't play with fire." Black Dragon said as she snapped her fingers and a black flame appeared. "I guess we should take our leave now." Mukuro said, and everyone, and I mean everyone rushed out the door.
Soon they were all on the roof. When everyone got a hold of their breath, Mukuro noticed the confused look on Tsuna's face.
"Kufufu. You're probably wondering why Dragon was able to do that." Mukuro said. "How can she do that?" Tsuna said.
"Kufufu. As you learned yesterday, her flames affect her. The stronger the flame, the more of an effect it has. Each flame she has has the spirit of a particular animal, except for the Night and Celestial flames. The Zodiac Flames are like wild cards." Mukuro said.
"Wild cards?" Yamamoto said. "Yes. Unlike the other flames, the Zodiac flames don't have animal bound spirits. So you would need to find an animal spirit yourself." Mukuro said.
"But how come she can change personality, and still have that animal?" Tsuna asked. "As I have said. The Zodiac Flames are like blank cards. You can put whatever you want on them." Mukuro said.
And before anything else could be said, the roof door crashed open and Dragon ran through, followed by Hibari.
"Wearing the wrong school uniform is against the school rules. I will need to bite you to death." Hibari said as he changed into his wolf form.
Dragon just stared for a bit, then spoke. "You're quite bonded with your flame. Yet, I don't see it." Black Dragon said. "What nonsense are you spouting." Hibari said as he charged.
Dragon dodged as Hibari snapped his jaws at her. Tsuna's group had to run out of the way as Dragon landed where they were.
Suddenly Dragon had a smile on her face for no apparent reason and kicked Hibari, hard. "Hey, if your nagging me about the uniform, what about Mukuro." White Dragon said.
It was then Hibari noticed Mukuro. All was silent as Hibari contemplated what to do. Finally, it seemed like he reached a decision.
"Hm, since you wear your uniform correctly, even though it's not the correct one, I'll let you go. Mukuro, on the other hand, needs to be bitten to death." Hibari said as he changed targets.
So Dragon walked next to Tsuna and watched the fight between Mukuro and Hibari.
"Um, Dragon." Tsuna said. "Hm?" Black Dragon said. "What did you mean by not seeing the flame?" Tsuna asked. "Oh. You form has many levels. When you've reached the highest level, your flame has also reached a level where it can be seen by the naked eye." Black Dragon said.
Then the bell rung and Dragon calmly left the roof as if she didn't say something confusing and intriguing.
Deciding that he had nothing to do with the fight, Tsuna left with his group.
"Chrome, Ken, Chikusa. Go to class." Mukuro said, and the three obeyed, leaving Mukuro alone with Hibari.
-TBC-
1. I'll just do this just to show you her personality flips easier.
2. Mochi is a sweet rice pastry. You'll know why I have this later.
Ryu- Well, I hope you enjoyed.
Black Dragon- This was like a play.
Ryu- Hey, I have my reasons.
Black Dragon-Yes, reasons even I don't understand.
Ryu- Hey, I have some mochi. (waves mochi)
White Dragon- Oh (tries to grab)
Ryu- Go get it. (throws)
White Dragon- I got it. (runs)
Ryu- This display is a hint. See if you can figure out what triggers Dragon's personality. Also, if you figure that out, the plot will be clearer.
