The Dragon's Treasure:

Chapter 2

Quivering, Sodom was lead into the large mansion, and he nervously bit his lip. "Mukuro... uhm... I really don't think I should be... here..."

The hybrid spared the dragon a glance, and smiled creepily. "Come now, So-chan... I'm sure Luka doesn't miss you that much, so how about you come here and treat yourself to a fine, Duras dinner~?"

"Eh?"

The Duras's ears perked when he caught scent of something very familiar... something that reminded him vaguely of his Master. "Come here, Sodom," Mukuro insisted, "I have a nice hunk of meat carved from a wolf Niedatrechy, complimented by a delicious glass of blood from an Opast~." (A/N: "Niedatrechy" refers to the lowest Duras ranking. Usually takes the form of a beast or reptile. And reminder- an "Opast" is a higher ranked Duras that can take the form of a human. The more powerful they are, the more beautiful their form. Luka, Sodom's Master, is a very high-ranking Opast.)

Sodom, seduced by the food, and the shiny glass that held the Opast blood, walked over cautiously, and sniffed at the meal before him. While the blood smelled so close to his Master, he could easily tell that it wasn't his. Besides, no matter how tolerant Mukuro's body was, he would never be able to safely gulp down the life of Luka Crosszeria.

"Okay, maybe I'll just stay for a bit," Sodom mumbled.

Mukuro smiled as the dragon nervously took a seat, and offered the familiar a glass of the blood. Sodom took it, but didn't drink until Mukuro had done so first. The small Duras was simply adorable with his shy mannerisms. Honestly... who knew that such a polite familiar existed! "So, So-chan, tell me. What do you desire most in the world?"

"D-desire?" Sodom repeated. "Uhm... well... I like... sparkly things... I guess...," the dragon stuttered, his bright golden eyes shimmering with the thought.

"Then... I suppose you like diamonds?" Mukuro asked, moving his hand to swirl the ruby liquid in his glass. "Other gemstones?"

"Oh, yes," Sodom said, nodding. "I like gems..."

"Good. Because I happen to have a number of jewels in a safe... maybe I'll gift a couple to you." Sodom blushed, and took another nervous sip of the Opast blood, while the illusionist watched, intruiged. "So-chan," he began again. "I think we'll get along very well, you know."

"M-maybe...," Sodom murmured, looking away. The way he saw it, Mukuro wanted him for his power as a dragon, so he was taking a cautious approach right from the start- even though Mukuro's offers were quite tempting.

"Now, now, So-chan, relax, just let go," Mukuro sighed, reaching over and caressing the dragon's cheek. "You can trust me." Sodom, attracted by the touch that resembled one from his Master, leaned over, and Mukuro was fast to meet the familiar to kiss him. Shocked, Sodom lingered in the embrace of their lips, but soon recoiled, leaving between them a tiny trail of saliva that quickly broke. A feeling of surprise took over the familiar's body for a moment, temporarily paralyzing him, but the emotion was soon overcome, leaving the question 'why?' written all over his face.

"What was that?" Sodom asked finally, his tail curling close to his body.

"A kiss," Mukuro replied, smiling as though he'd accomplished something he always wanted to do, "my dear So-chan."

The familiar blushed a dark shade of red, and looked away, trembling. He didn't want to admit it, but that moment of intimate contact between them felt really good, and he wanted more. "Mukuro... uh... w-why'd you... kiss me...?" he asked, weaving his clawed hands together in his lap and cocking his head to the side cutely.

"Because I'm deeply attracted to you, So-chan," Mukuro replied, leaning forward. "Fufufu... after all... you're quite the cute one."

Sodom knew he was cute- Mukuro wasn't the first one to tell him that. But somehow, hearing that from Mukuro almost made him smile. It was as though that Opast blood had some charm in it. Something to draw Sodom's attention away from reason and towards the hybrid before him. His cheeks darkened as he analyzed the past few moments, for he realized that Mukuro was showing every sign of... liking him.

It was a very new idea to the dragon, who had never experienced this sort of situation before. It was almost like a butterfly had landed on his nose- a sort of irritatingly pleasant scenario. But never before had he thought of taking a mate, let alone a human! "Mukuro... you're very nice," Sodom said hesitantly, "but I think I'm going to have to tell you that I really kinda don't want a lover..."

"... Ah. I see," Mukuro replied simply, his eyes narrowed. "But Sou-chan, I like you a LOT. Are you sure you couldn't TRY to like me?"

Sodom shook his head. "I can't... I have a Master anyway... I need to fight...!"

"You need to take a break, Sou-chan," Mukuro hissed, leaning over the table and taking the dragon's chin, before kissing him once more. Sodom blushed, and shut his eyes tightly, but soon reached up and clutched the halfbreed's shirt tightly in his clawed hands. Allowing himself a moan, the dragon's tail danced in the air, proving that he was enjoying the intimacy more than he'd admit.

Mukuro soon leaned back, and stared at the dragon with cold, mismatched eyes. "What is it?" Sodom asked, becoming especially nervous when the other looked at him like that. "D-did I do something wrong?"

The hybrid seemed to think for a moment, but he then stood, and turned around. "The only thing you've done wrong, dear Sou-chan, is captivate me."

Sodom blushed, and bit his lip, then stood as well. "Uh... Mukuro, I think... I think I should go- uwah!" He yelped when Mukuro suddenly swooped in and picked him up, holding him in his arms as he began to walk towards a sofa. He dropped Sodom onto the cushions, and, sitting beside him, embraced the young dragon.

"Don't you understand?" he hissed. "You don't need a Master if you have me. Matter of fact, I would rather be your pet than let you go."

"That's not right!" Sodom cried. "Lovers should be equal in value to each other!"

Mukuro stared at the familiar, then broke into a wide grin. "So-chan, there's no such thing as two equal Duras. We're all either slaves or masters."

"You're not even a Duras!" the dragon protested, folding his arms. "You're just a really bold and cheeky human!"

Mukuro paused, obviously suprised, but he then chuckled, quietly at first, before laughing hard, throwing his head back with the humor. "You're adorable, So-chan~!" Sodom blushed as he was held tightly in the halfbreed's arms, then gave a quiet hiss, before biting down on Mukuro's neck. The hybrid gasped, caught off guard by the sudden pain, then moaned, entangling his fingers in the dragon's hair. "I suppose you can be sexy too, huh, So-chan?"

The bite only got more rough, but Mukuro only enjoyed it more like that, and soon enough, Sodom had to give up. "You're so weird," he muttered, licking his lips. Mukuro grinned, and placed his hand on the familiar's shoulder, and leaned in. The younger Duras was fast to meet him, and when their lips met once more, Mukuro knew that he'd already won.

Sodom was his.
