Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Water and Earth. Enjoy the 1200-word chapter. I don't own DM, Coolkyoushinja and a few others do.

(Arthur, Saturday, 11:20 AM.)

Arthur yawned and turned to Elma who blinked before she brought a pair of chopsticks to her lips and then swallowed the rice.

"When did we get rice?" He asked and Elma turned to him.

"I bought it, why? I'm going to start working soon." She stated while he rolled his eyes and then noticed that Elma had downed several boxes.

"I'm glad you're going to replace that much rice." He said before he hummed and got up.

"Is Kobayashi coming over?" He asked, he cracked his neck and sat next to the Water Dragon.

"Yes, I'm glad she doesn't know about before." Elma said, blinking and finishing the bowl before putting it on the table.

"Well, I still have the wounds from it. My healing is a bit rusty… Either that or I need a better couch." He said, cracking his spine and groaning.

"Hey, Arthur?" He heard from Elma and blinked before turning to the Water Dragon.

"Yeah?" He asked and Elma smiled.

"I'm glad your ok." She stated and Arthur blushed and turned to the side before smiling.

"I'm glad you're ok as well." He said before she blinked again.

"Do you have an uncle or were you lying to pretend?" She asked, Arthur chuckled.

"I forgot I mentioned my uncle… Yeah, I was lying. I doubt the 'I'm an Earth Dragon' thing would have made things a lot harder. I'm glad I don't have to lie anymore, I'm terrible at lying for very long." He stated and hummed again.

The door rang and both dragons turned their head towards the door.

"I'll get it… Ow, it hurts to walk a little, ow…" He muttered and he slowly trudged to the door with a pained smile before opening the door.

Kobayashi stood with a smaller looking girl with blue eyes and horns… Another dragon, Arthur guessed, he could see horns on her.

"Elma is over by the computer. You're have to excuse me; my back hurts and Elma fell down the stairs." He said, Kobayashi and Tohru walked inside but Kobayashi gave a look before she sat down that told him she believed they had done something else to hurt themselves.

"You're a lot earlier than you'd said you would be." Elma said while Arthur took a seat at the other side of the couch.

"I don't have anything else to do today…." Kobayashi deadpanned, Elma and Arthur shared a look before Arthur turned his head back towards the tv.

"I smell fire." The girl said, Arthur swung his head towards the girl before she continued to sniff the air.

"You both stink of ash." The girl said before Arthur and Elma's eyes blinked and turned to look at her.

"Yeah, we were trying to start a fire in the back and it's kind of burned us a little… We're fine." He said before Tohru sniffed the air and narrowed her eyes.

Arthur looked between the duo and sighed, they were starting to see through his lies.

"Screw it, you're already seeing through me and I'm tired of this crappy ring around the Rosie thing." Arthur said before he summoned his dragon traits in a burst of energy.

Kobayashi was unmoved, typing down more information to show Elma, barely looking up.

"YOU'RE A DRAGON!?" Tohru yelled before Kobayashi looked up and shrugged.

"I knew that you'd be that or something similar. You were way too calm for someone who's never seen a dragon and you were willing to go against Tohru to defend Elma… So, I knew you either cared about her or you're a dragon… And its both." Kobayashi stated, Arthur hummed and turned to look at her.

"And I knew you were smart considering the fact that never fell for my lies and you weren't fazed by anything… God, that feels good to get off my chest…" Arthur said before he dispelled his draconic features.

He hummed while he sat down before he looked at Kobayashi.

"Well, that was… Anticlimactic…" He said and Kobayashi shrugged and continued typing while Elma watched.

"So… Does anyone here know a giant dragon? We uh… Em?" He said and Elma's eyes widened before she sighed and nodded.

"We fought another dragon yesterday… He was a lot stronger than both of us… Arthur took the blunt of his attacks." Elma said and Arthur hummed and patted the bandages on his chest.

"Em, you saw the size of him and you were limited by the water… Besides, I'd gladly fight him if it meant you'd be good…" Arthur stated, Elma blushed and smiled while Tohru looked between the duo and Kobayashi cracked a small unseen smile while Arthur turned to look at the small girl before turning back to Elma.

"Do you want anything to drink? I have plenty of drinks… No beer or anything, I don't like getting drunk." Arthur said, Kobayashi turned to look at him with annoyance before sighing.

"I'm good, and second… You both found another dragon that fought you both?" She asked, raising an eyebrow before Arthur and Elma nodded.

"He was a massive black and red dragon; he beat me and Elma like volleyballs. We got some good hits on him, but he nearly killed me… I've never met a dragon that strong… Least not alone, it was like trying to fight a hurricane… Ugh, if it wasn't for Elma, I'd be dead." He said and Elma smiled before she started to check on the computer and copy over the work so she could start working on the computer.

"I sensed something, but there was a hazy feeling over that location." Tohru stated before she turned back towards the computer as well.

"Hmm… Something is going on… I'm going to try to figure out why there's a rogue dragon on Earth." Arthur muttered before he saw Elma copying things on the computer.

"How uh…. How long until Elma is ready to go to work? We have to go to work in a few days and I would like to see Elma paying for some of the stuff she's eating." Arthur stated before Elma wacked him with her tail playfully while both dragons started laughing before Elma started to wonder on their friendship.

Both enjoyed their time and both smiled, Elma turned back to the computer and tapped their fingers together.

Both didn't know what would happen tomorrow. They knew the dragon and both would end up having to stop him sooner or later.

"So, what do you think we're going to do tomorrow, Em?" he asked and turned back towards the computer.

"I don't know, but I'll tell you later." Elma stated with amusement and Arthur nodded and smiled.

Author Note

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Arthur showing off his dragon characteristics was because I felt nobody but Tohru would be really surprised. Next chapter will be on next Sunday and will show Arthur and Elma trying to find the enemy dragon and talking more about their friendship. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
