The Dragon's Treasure

Chapter Three

"Sodom! Sodooom!" Luka called, flying through the air on raven-black wings that spanned out a total length that was more than four times his height. "Ugh... where could he have gone to? All I asked him to do was deliver that letter to Luze..."

Luze was Luka's younger twin brother, and, although they had a very similar appearence, Luze's eyes were magenta when Luka's were silver, and Luze's dark black hair was much longer, as well. Luka had sent Sodom into Infernus with a letter to his brother, requesting of him to leave that world and join the Giou Clan, a select few humans with powers to fight the Duras. He had been hoping that Luze would comply, so that Yuki, his master, would have more protection, and be more comfortable in the fight when they weren't battling with any of Luka's family. But it had already been a day, and his dragon hadn't returned. Luka was sure that Sodom knew where Luze's mansion was, and he was also positive that his brother wouldn't steal his familiar. Luze already had his own!

Sighing, the Opast decided that it was time to land before he was seen by someone who would recognize him- or rather, see the Brand Zess scar that crossed over his arm. He swooped down into the dark streets, and landed. His black wings folded and vanished into his back, and he sighed as he looked about himself. No one was in sight, so Luka Crosszeria started towards his brother's mansion.

It didn't take long for him to arrive, and, when he did, he was greeted by Reiga- the last man he wanted to see. Reiga was the enemy of the Giou clan, a necromancer, and also very possibly Luze's master. This man had black hair that framed his face, and often wore heavy robes and formal attire, and with eyes sharper than swords, he was a very possessive and vengeful man. Luka decided that Sodom wasn't here, and blinked in suprise. "Reiga," he greeted.

"Luka Crosszeria," the necromancer replied. "What a... pleasant suprise..."

"On... second thought, I need to..."

The Zess ran back and spread his wings, and flew far away from that place, before suddenly noticing another mansion that looked oddly reminiscent of a human's. The Opast swooped in over the gate and landed at the door, and while his wings were still folding back, he knocked on the door. Said door soon opened, to reveal a human-like face, and, to Luka's partial suprise, his own familiar!

"Master!" Sodom cried, running out and hugging his master tightly. "You're back!"

"Indeed," Luka said, placing his hand on the small of his familiar's back. "And this is?"

When he looked up into the other's face, he could sense the lustful corruption of a Duras, and he immediately grew skeptical. He had a strong sense that this man did things to his familiar that should not happen to one, and the thought made him angry. "Um... this is... Mukuro... he was taking care of me..."

"In what sense was he... 'taking care' of you?" Luka asked, taking a step forward. Mukuro's eyes grew mean as he saw the Opast sort of bristle, and he, too, took a step forward. Sodom, however, couldn't sense the tenseness, and he flashed his master his best smile.

"He fed me and kissed me and says he reeeaaally likes me!" he announced. Luka summoned his sword in an instant.

"You corrupted beast," he snarled at Mukuro, swiping at him with the heavy, black blade. However, to his suprise, the weapon was blocked, and he saw that this human-like Duras had drawn a trident.

"You're the one who abandoned the kid!" Mukuro snorted. The two stepped in towards Mukuro's mansion and began to fight in an instant, while Sodom watched in horror. Luka easily overpowered the hybrid, and Mukuro was soon on the ground, with the tip of Luka's blade at his throat.

"Any final messages towards my familiar before I kill you?" he hissed.

"... So-chan," Mukuro husked, turning his head. "I love you."

Luka withdrew his sword, and instead held out his hand, and it sparked with black magic, ready to be fired and kill the halfbreed in an instant. But then, Sodom leapt forward and grabbed on to his master's arm. "Master, don't!" he cried. "Please don't!"

The Opast glanced back at his familiar, and, being a fairly generous demon, lowered his hand. "Sodom, this man is a pervert and a disgusting fool. He doesn't deserve to live."

"Please... I... I think I might love him back," Sodom murmured, his voice shaky, and his face crimson. Luka stared at his familiar with wide eyes, then backed off, trying not to feel sentimental. He knew what love was, very well.

A long, long time ago, Luka had been with a beautiful girl named Yuki. He loved her with all of his heart, and would die for her, because she was the one who saved him from his life of servitude to the Demon Lord. But one day, after a fierce battle against the demons, Yuki had grown too frail, and she died on the battlefield, wishing to forget everything... including Luka himself. Yuki was reborn as a man, and Luka watched over him for his entire life, until one day, the Giou Clan- an organization to fight the Duras- decided it was time to take him back under their wing.

Now, Sodom was feeling something like what Luka had once felt, and the Opast didn't want to deny his familiar those feelings. Still, as he looked at Mukuro, he was off-set by the cockiness and perverted nature he was met by. He wasn't sure he liked Sodom's choice. "If you love this man, prove yourself to me," Luka said. "You're full of affection, Sodom. But you never engage with sexually intimate contact with anyone. Show me that this man is different."

Sodom blushed, but he would never want to hide anything from his master. He looked back at the wounded Mukuro, and knelt down beside him, then took the halfbreed's head in his hands, before kissing him. Mukuro's mismatched eyes grew wide as Sodom kissed him with more passion than he'd known that night, then shuddered as small fangs punctured his lower lip. Sodom pulled the halfbreed up to his feet, and continued to kiss him with his arms wrapped around the man's neck, and Sodom glanced back at Luka, silently asking if his Master had seen enough. Luka nodded.

"All right, Sodom. I believe you," Luka sighed. "Come, now. We'll take him back with us."

"Hey, now, Brand Zess," Mukuro said, holding Sodom close by the shoulders. "How about you just let So-chan here stay with me? I promise I'll take extra good care of the little guy."

Luka frowned. "Don't push me," he muttered. Mukuro shrugged, and hesitantly exited his mansion with Luka and Sodom, then watched in awe as Sodom morphed into a huge, black dragon. Said dragon lied down, looking back at the halfbreed, and Mukuro blushed lightly, before crawling on to the dragon's back. As Luka spread his wings and took off, Sodom's large, dragon wings beat wildly, getting him off the ground and carrying him after Luka. As they moved, Mukuro leaned in, wrapping his arms around the dragon's neck and resting his head on Sodom's.

And their affection thrived for eternity.

Pfft. Well that sucked. XD I've found that it's difficult to make crossover pairings work.
