Godwin's Dragon Leash

Chapter Eleven

By Kellyq

A spider dropped on Kiryu's shoulder. He eyed the arachnid before he flicked it off. He rose his foot to step on it when slender arms wrapped around his waist. Kiryu was pulled back and the spider scurried away.

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't do that," a female voice whispered in his ear.

An aroma of peppermint and ginger reached Kiryu's nose. He leaned into the woman's body. She had black long hair, and pale skin. Her blue eyes were closed. The young woman went by the name of Carly. She leaned in and started to lick Kiryu's neck. Carly opened her blue eyes - like Kiryu's eyes - she had black around the outer rim of her pupils too. Carly's hand went to Kiryu's arm, and she noticed teeth marks. She shifted to the side of her boyfriend, and started to lick the dry blood off. Carly's tongue licked the mark on his arm. Kiryu shivered, feeling aroused, just by watching her.

"Something has got to be done about that dog," Carly murmured, rubbing the mark seductively.

Kiryu sighed. "Alright. You can help." She squealed with delight. "On one condition: You let me handle Yusei."

Jealousy flashed across Carly's eyes. "Fine. You do that, but you have to leave my little babies alone. Deal?"

Kiryu's eye brow twitched. He closed his eyes. "Deal."

Yanagi followed Yusei to a clearing. After everyone departed, the young Signer pulled the old man off to the side, and they walked to a clearing.

"What is that you wanted to ask me?" Yanagi asked.

"There's five of us Signers, right?" The old man nodded his head. "Is there any other Signers out there?" Yusei asked.

"I don't think so," Yanagi answered truthfully, shaking his head. "Why? Did someone paint a mark on their arm?"

"It's Kiryu. He claimed to have a mark in the shape of human with no face," Yusei explained, shivering a little.

"Does Jack know about this too?" the old man asked.

"He's getting some answers from someone he knows," Yusei answered.

"That's good. Because I don't know any other Signers out there, so I'd be careful around Kiryu, okay? I have a feeling that he's not all what he claims to be. Was there anything else you need to know?"

Yusei forced a smile and shook his head. Yanagi didn't buy it. He knew that was something not right, but he didn't want to scare Yusei. The old man followed Yusei back to the village to see Jack standing outside the hut. There was an intense look in his eyes.

Yanagi smiled. "Don't worry. He's fine. I wouldn't let anything happen to Yusei. I would've protected him if any bad guys came along," he declared, standing tall and proud. "Well. I better go. Talk to you guys later."

Both Signers watched the old man turn and run down the street. Yusei turned his attention to his mate. "What did Godwin say this time?" Yusei asked, distrust laced in his voice.

"He told me that we should be careful and he's going to allow Aki, Ruka, and Rua join us. They'll be here in a few days."

Yusei nodded his head and followed Jack inside. "Yanagi didn't know that much about the mark on Kiryu's arm either." Yusei shook off his jacket, and laid down.

Jack did the same and laid next to his mate. "I do remember Godwin saying that there is one more Signer out there."

Yusei gasped and turned to face Jack. "Do you think Kiryu is the fifth Signer?" The blonde-haired Signer leaned in and kissed his mate, earning a moan from the back of Yusei's throat. "If .. if I didn't know any better," he said, panting. "I would say that you're jealous."

Violet eyes narrowed. Jack started to lick and bite Yusei's neck. Jack moved his leg between Yusei's limbs and took his mate's arm and started to lick the mark. Yusei shivered, as he tired to hold back a moan, feeling sexually aroused. That's right, Jack thought. I don't want you to think of anyone else but me.
