Special thanks goes to mf2595, FluffyDarkUnicorn, Major Simi and Tyson the Wolf Omega for reviewing and giving this story some love and attention.

Just to be clear here-

When Yuki is in dragon form, she is 8 ft 1 inch tall, not 6 ft 25 in (that was my mistake). Thank you mf2595 for telling me that :)

Chapter 2: Going to school

"Hey yo G, look what I got from Central Park." Jake guided Yuki into the shop. He quickly flipped the Welcome we're open sign to Sorry we're closed. The shop was a little old and dusty but, it was usable. Because of the old antique wares and stuff, the store doesn't attract any attention.

"Welcome to my shop, I am Lao Shi." Jake's grandpa walked tout through the curtains, looking at Yuki with interest.

"My name is Yukiko Kagami. Pleasure to meet you." Yuki smiled.

"You should have checked her out man, she was wicked cool. One look at her dragon form and those trolls took off like they jizzed their pants!" Jake laughed as he helped himself to some nachos Fu Dog brought from a near by store.

"I wouldn't put past the Japanese Dragon to teach those ruthless trolls some manners. Anyway...you must be tired, come have a rest." Lao Shi lead her over to sit on the couch and brought her some tea. Yuki smiled and took a sip, indulging in the fragrance of the cherry blossom scent.

"Thank you very much. I have much to discuss with you." Yuki set the cup down and folded her hands on her lap.

"Please, tell us what you know." Lao Shi gestured for her to start.

"To start, my family and I lived happy lives in Tokyo Japan. Things started to get bad when this earthquake happened. My mother helped me get on the ship to the Americas before she went to the Dragon Council. We suspect that the Dark Dragon is already making a come back."

"The Dark Dragon?" Jake leaped to his feet, shocked. "Yo, that guy has some serious issue. I faced him TWICE and walked away scar free. Even Gramps faced him ONCE and kicked his butt!"

"Hmm...Jake I'm afraid the situation is getting worse and worse." Lao Shi looks grim as he went to the book case to rummage through items. Finding what he was looking for, he walked back and placed the item on the table.

"Oh you brought out the magical Orb." Fu Dog padded over. "This Orb allows you to see what is happening in a certain area of the globe. "

"Really? Okay...umm...Show us Tokyo Japan!" The orb clouded a bit then it brightened and showed the whole metropolis area or what used to be. All they saw was this huge dark cloud covering every nook and cranny. What's worse is that it seems to be moving ever so slowly but definitely growing. Over half of the city is clouded and no one can see a thing.

"Whoa, that looks like trouble." Jake stared into the glass object.

"Yes Jake and it is just as we expected. The Dark Dragon is going to rise again. I must go visit the Dragon Council immediately. Fu Dog, watch the shop...and Jake...I'll leave Yukiko in your hands." Lao Shi left the shop and flew off to visit the Dragon Council.

"Alright then. Kids, since school is tomorrow go get ready." Fu Dog placed the orb back where it belongs and closed up the shop.

"Do I have to go? How do I apply? Do I need to bring supplies?" Yuki asked.

"I'll take you to my school and we can apply you as a transfer student. Besides you'll love it, might be a little different but you'll get use to it. I'll help you get ready tonight since you're staying at my place." Jake replied.

"Awesome." Yuki held up her hand in a victory sign.

"Kid, just make sure you don't go crazy and do something stupid." Fu Dog whispered to Jake.

"Fu what are you taking about?"

"You know? Opening a can of smackdaddy and then..." Fu Dog laughs at whatever he is imagining.

"Fu Dog, you sick man. Get yo head out of the gutters!" Jake shakes his head and sighed.

At Jake's house...

"Mom this is Yuki and she'll be staying with us a little bit." Jake announced to the family. They smiled warmly at her. "Tomorrow she'll be attending my school as a transfer student."

"That's nice Jake, make sure you keep an eye on her at all times. You know how Mr. Rotwood acts as well as that bully Brad. God how I wish that kid would just die."

"Who is this Mr. Rotwood and Brad?" Yuki asked.

"They are nitwits who love to feed off the happiness of students well in Brad's case it is the smartness of his pals. I'll show you tomorrow." Jake smiled and the family chatted about their day and what they would expect in the near future. Unknown to Jake's dad, everyone is a magical reptile. Jake's mom doesn't have the power because it skipped her generation and she had a hunch that Yuki was a dragon herself. They planned on telling Jake's father when he is ready.

At school...

"Welcome Yukiko Kagami to Millard Fillmore Middle School. I have registered you as a transfer student and put you in the same class as Mr. Long." The secretary smiled at the girl as Yuki filled out the paperwork. After that was done, Jake and Yuki walked to class together, along with Spud and Trixie who are friends of Jake's and they were really outgoing.

"Alright students, please take your seats." Mr. Rotwood announced as the students sat down. " Before I start today's lesson, I would like to introduce our new transfer student Yukiko Kagami." She walked to the front of the room.

"My name is Yukiko Kagami and I am the new transfer student of Millard Fillmore Middle School. Nice to meet you all." A spitball comes flying and hits her in the face.

"Ha ha ha what a loser! You can't even dodge a spit ball, how pathetic!" A boy laughs as a few friends joined in. Jake inward clenched his fist as he watched Yuki wipe the spit off.

"Enough Brad Morton. No more silly antics. Mrs. Kagami you may return to your seat next to Mr. Long." Mr. Rotwood continued. Yuki flashed him a smile and walked back to her seat. As she walked past Brad she sneakily placed a mini-firecracker the size of a thumbnail in his back pocket with the string pointing in her direction. The movement was so fast that it seemed as though nothing Mr. Rotwood's lecture on magical creatures, Yuki caught Jake's eye and pointed to the little prank. They smiled and when Rotwood's back was turned, Yuki blew a thin stream of fire. It reached the string and sizzled before exploding with a bang, shooting off multiple colors. Brad himself shot up, yelping as the other kids laughed at him and the tiny fireworks shooting from his pants.

"Brad Morton, to the principle's office now!" Rotwood yelled out, enraged. Brad excused himself and hurried to the principle's office, not noticing the huge hole in his pants from the firecracker which caused the other students to continue laughing.

"Oh man DID you see that?" Trixie was so excited once school finished. Spud, Jake, Yuki smiled as the four of them walked to Gramp's shop for some time alone. "Man it was like the best prank ever in the history of pranking!"

"You said it sister!" Spud agreed, nodding his head. "Who knew something like that would happen to Brad Mason, football jock and blah blah blah. Great work out there!" He gave Yuki a high-five.

"Thanks! My first time too."

"Who knew Brad would wear the boxer shorts with little rocket ships? Man that boy has problems!" Trixie laughs. They all laughed at the image of Brad, hole in his pants and showing his boxer shorts that had little rocket ships. They reached Grandpa's shop when Fu Dog burst into the scene.

"Jake! Jake! You wouldn't believe it?"

"Yo dog chill out! What's the problem?" Jake and everyone placed their stuff down and looked at the terrified Shar Pei. He was trembling as if he had seen a ghost.

"Come...it is time you saw for your own eyes what is about to occur." He quickly flipped the welcome sign and lead them to the back of the shop where the Orb sat.
