Uwaaaaaa people actually read this! That's so amazing!
Ah hiyo. NionRepr speaking. How's your day?
Thank you for making it to chapter two. Super much thanks!
This is M because of Reiya's mouth and Zebura's mouth and for other fun stuff. Blood gore lemons. Not all at the same time though...
Coco-san is just so adorable and hot at the same time...Toriko belongs entirely to Shimabukuro-san! Itadakimasu!

The Doctor Nicknamed the Little Dragon

She kept glaring at them, enough to make Komatsu hide behind Toriko who was feeling a little uneasy just like Coco. The fortune teller had a pretty good idea who this was. The doctor Yosaku called a little dragon. Darta stepped forward and bowed which she returned, still glaring at the three behind him.

"You work quickly as always Reiya-san. And it's good to have you back."

"It's his own damn fault for playing with a highly toxic plant."

"He's alive and well now. Gentlemen, this is our young doctor Reiya-san. She's the co-chief of this facility."

"Co-chief?!"

"That's correct Komatsu-san. She is very skilled even though she just recently became a full fledged doctor. She will be showing you to the shrine."

"Wait what? Why do I have to show them?!"

"Because you're the only one that works in the domes that's allowed up there without permission. The shrine is off limits to everyone else."

Her glared changed to an annoyed expression. Yosaku was right. Zebura is still worse though. She has a rather obnoxious and loud personality. Slightly rude and kind of scary as well. But Coco did see her skills first hand. Drawing out the poison in a matter of minutes without getting any of the toxins in her system. It's something that most veteran doctors would avoid. And she did it so calmly.

"Excuse me gentlemen but I must leave for now. You can find me in the number two dome, the beast dome if you have any questions that Reiya-san might refuse to answer. Good day."

Darta nodded his head towards them and left the room. The doctor stared at each one of them, her gaze staying longer on the two Bishokuya. One who doesn't like outsiders and has a quick temper of a dragon, yet doesn't hesitate to help someone who is injured. She seems to be one full of contradictions.

Toriko began to explain why he was here and as he did so, Coco studied her. Pure white hair, short and messy with a long out of place strand on the left side with a bright blue bead at the end. Her bangs were brushed to the right over her thin delicate brows. Under her eyes it looked like there were light bluish green markings that resembled scales. She had silver piercings along her ears, three rings with a bar on the right and a single white fang on the left. When she spoke, he noticed two things. One was a silver stud piercing through her tongue. Two, her canines and the teeth behind them here sharp. Her tanned skin seemed to make the long diagonal scar across her nose more visible. Tall, possibly over 180cm and wearing normal looking street clothes. Light grey hoodie with black capri and slip on sneakers. Very much out of place.

"Here for a hunt hmm? I refuse."

"What?! You can't refuse!"

"Sure I can. I'm the one in charge."

"You're only the co-chief and that doesn't mean you're in charge. I wanna eat some elk!"

"Too damn bad! No means no!"

"Reiya-san can I ask you something?"

The doctor looked over at Coco with a sour gaze that wasn't necessarily geared towards him. "What?"

"Would it be alright if I spoke with Asao-san?"

"The stupid old priest who's in charge? What for?"

"I would like to talk to him about something that happened."

"Ask him if we can have get some elk since this little brat won't let me," Toriko half whispered in Coco's ear who brushed him off.

"I heard that and I can't allow you to speak with him at the moment. The stupid geezer is dealing with health problems right now. You'll just need to wait. In the mean time, I'll take you to the shrine where you'll be staying."

She stomped past them, leaving the med house and not even waiting for the others who all headed after her. There were a few people whispering as they passed, surprised to see two of the Shitennou on the island. There were also some uneasy whispers about Reiya. About her odd appearance and her rude scary attitude. People were saying things like "There's that little dragon. Best stay away from her" and "It's no wonder people are afraid of her with that attitude and appearance". She just kept walking with her head down and Coco noticed that her fist were clenched. He wondered about those whispers of her.

At the other end of the dome, there were four doors this time and three of them had number signs above them. Reiya took them through the one that didn't have a sign through a shorter tunnel to the cool outside. Snow was still falling, but with a slight wind and the large evergreen branches bent from the heaviness of white. Straight across from them were the beginning of a flight of stone stairs. Reiya stopped, but didn't turn.

"This leads up to the shrine. Because it's not all fancy like the domes, you'll be walking."

"All the way up in this weather?!"

Her heard turned, revealing a sharp toothed sly grin. "Is that a problem, Chibi-kun?"

"C-Chibi? Well no I guess not."

"It's not all that hard. Just start walking."

And with that she did, leaving the three behind her who looked at each other before going after her. The sides of the steps had stone lanterns and nearly perfect round spheres. This area had a rather ominous feel to it. Coco saw plenty of animals waves, but none were physically visible. He saw that Toriko's waves were a little tense.

"Oi Coco. You've noticed it right?"

"Something strange about Reiya-san yes?"

"Yeah. She has a funny scent."

"Funny?"

"Kinda like some beast. A dangerous carnivorous beast."

"A beast huh? She doesn't seem to have an aura."

"She doesn't?"

"Not at all. I see her and I know she's there, but there's no sign of waves from her."

"What're we gonna do?"

"Stop talking behind my back for starters. It's very rude."

Reiya was right before them which made Toriko and Coco back off quickly. Her expression was of annoyance, but her eyes were mischievous. Komatsu was sitting on some of the steps behind her, trying to catch his breath.

"I keep my presence hidden because how the hell am I suppose to heal the injured animals and even people when they're scared if I seem threatening? Also I probably smell like dangerous beasts because I'm one of the few here that can work with them without screaming like a little pussy and running off scared. Now if you have anymore problems say them to my face and not behind my back yah?"

She snorted like a bull and turned on her heel, stomping up the steps. There wasn't any harshness in her words. In fact, her remarks sound sarcastic. Toriko meet Coco's gaze and shrugged then continued up the stairs, giving Komatsu some words of encouragement on the way. Maybe Coco had misjudged her.

But those powerful waves from days earlier still bothered him. It doesn't quite fit her. He remembered that Darta had welcomed her back. So it can't possibly be her. It's someone or something else here.

"Um R-Reiya-san how many more steps? I can barely feel my legs."

"If you're mind keeps telling you're body that you're tired and can't go any further, then you'll just give up Chibi-kun. Keep the negative thoughts clear from your mind and things will be easier."

"You talk like an old man."

"At least I don't look like a damn blueberry."

"Blueberry?! At least I don't look like an old hag!"

That made her stop and turn her serpentine gaze towards Toriko. "Old hag? This is my natural hair color asshole!"

"And this is (not really) my normal hair color dumbass!"

"Now now you two I don't think you should be fighting here."

"She called me a blueberry!"

"You said I talked like an old man and looked like a hag! I'm only 25!"

"They didn't listen to you Coco-san."

"I'm use to it by now..."

Sparks were flying between the growling Toriko and hissing Reiya. It seemed like forever before they got tired of glaring at each other and the doctor stalked off. Toriko grumbled angrily under his breath, but kept moving on. He still acts like such a kid and Reiya acts a lot like Zebura, purposely egging him on.

"This is going to be a long trip."

"Those two will get use to each other. Let's keep going Komatsu-kun. We're almost there."

The chef nodded and hurried after Toriko with Coco behind him. Not once did she reveal her aura. She must have really good control to be able to be instigated like that yet keeping a calm and noble demeanor. Interesting indeed. When Reiya stopped again, she spun on her heel and faced the men behind her.

"Allow me to welcome you to Odayaka Shrine."

The feeling that washed over them was tranquility. Before them was a dream world. There was a single dark wood torii leading to a large clearing with juniper bushes of some sort scattered around. The path they walked was lined with small lit stone lanterns that softly illuminated the snow. The paler wood of the shrine at the edge of the path gave off the presence of calmness and nobility at the same time. There were smaller traditional buildings further away from the path and a few more visible from behind the shrine. Everything flowed together from the scents in the air to the simple delicate buildings. It's a place that made them forget all the bad things that happened.

"It's so peaceful here..." Komatsu barely muttered.

"Balance is key. Everything is about balance. Like yin and yang. Two very opposite concepts yet you can't have one without the other."

"Places like this still exist after everything that happened? That's so awesome!"

"Have a little more respect towards me blueberry?"

"Keep calling me blueberry and I won't."

She casually flipped the glutton off which irked him quite a bit, but she ignored that as she stopped before the beautiful pale shrine with silver painted decor that looked like the six-hoofed elk. Coco noticed several waves coming from inside, none of which were the powerful ones he was looking for. The doctor bowed with her hands together for a few moments before glaring behind her, telling the others to do the same.

"Now, shall we go in?"

Heeeeeey you made it to the bottom! Yaaay! At least I hope you guys did...I know it ain't the best.
So here's another chapter finished. Reiya's name means either "ghost/nothing/zero" and "night". It's a name I've been wanting to use forever. Also Odayaka means "gentle".
Please come again? I'll write lots more! Gochisousama deshita!
