Southern Lands
It’s been a few months since her younger sister found her 2nd guard. Kira was happy for her really but a part of her wanted another guard. Yet telling Akito that was not really a good thing since he really didn’t like sharing her. Kira shook her head whenever she thought of it.
Kira walked around the small village, looking around. She was trying to get things off her head since she didn’t want to piss off her fox. She watched the young kids run past her while playing and having fun. Just seeing the young kids, made her want some one day but not yet. She felt that it’s too soon to even think of having any since she didn’t even have a mate.
Akito followed his princess, glaring softly. He hide his ears and tail, and had his long hair go short. He didn’t get what got her to visit this annoying village yet if one more male looked at her, he felt like he would kill them. ‘What’s with her? Ever else we returned to her land, she been odd. Even Kue is unsure what’s with her.’ He thought.
She knew he was following her but turned out him as his glares. She didn’t know why but Akito mad was really cute to her. She walked over to the small shrine and waved at the priestess there.
The priestess was a young looking girl with looked almost human, if she didn’t have wolf ears. She was a wolf demon girl that loved Elyasia’s shrines. So with Yune’s help, she became one. She wore a simple yet cute priestess outfit of red and white. She had short black hair that her wolf ears breed into, deep golden eyes and a doll like face. Her body type was even like a doll as well.
The priestess waved back and walked over to the princess. “My lady, what may I help you with?”
Kira smiled softly. “Kia, I need a way to annoy my dear fox, do you know of one?”
Kia thought a bit as her ears twitched slightly. She could feel the glares and dark aura Akito was sending his princess. After thinking a short time, she smiled. “Why not claim anouth guard?”
The princess blinked then smiled. “I thought of that, but do you think it’s safe? Akito doesn’t share well.”
“Oh it'll be fine, since I’m sure even Akito knows this one male.”
“Oh? And who’s this male?”
Just before Kia could say anything, a huge while wolf ran by and pinned Akito to the ground, making the fox let out a high sound and then growling was heard.
Kira turned and blinked a few times as she watched the wolf happily wagged its tail as Akito growled. If she wanted to piss him off, this is just that. She could see the dark aura following from her fox as the happy aura from the wolf did not fade. “Akito, are you okay?” She asked, unsure of his aura.
Akito sent her a glare that made her twitched then kicked the wolf off of him. “Damn it, Hiro. Don’t do that.” He growled as he stood up.
The wolf stood up and started laughing. “Ha ha but Akito, ha ha I haven’t seen you for so long.” He said, as his laughing ended. He sat down and grinned up at him. “So this is were you ran off to.”
“Yes, now go away before I turn you into a cat again.”
The wolf sighed softly. “But fox, I just found you. You disappeared again after seeing the young kids again and again but after that last time, you didn’t come back.”
Akito sighed. “Kira, Can you claim this stupid wolf and go back to the castle?”
Kira blinked afew times and looked at Kia. “Kia, was this the male you were going to tell me about?” She asked after hearing Kia sigh.
“Yea. I was going to tell you about Hiro who happened to be my brother.”
"Brother?"
Hiro looked over at the girls and blinked. He walked over and sat in front of Kia. “Hey sis, what’s with the outfit?”
Kia sighed softly. “I’m a priestess here. Go play guard with Akito. Lady Kira wants to annoy him.”
He looked over at Kira and smiled. “So if you claim me, I get to play with Akito?”
The princess nodded.
“Then please claim me. I promise to protect you with Akito as well as help you annoy him.”
Kira blinked a few times then giggled softly. “Sure. I would love to have you as a guard.”
Akito rolled his eyes and sighed. “Yay...” He muttered to himself.
Northern Castle
West Garden
Lira sat at a small table that was moved under a Sakura tree that sat between the castle and the Spirit woods. She didn’t mind the scared forest as it’s cold wind felt good to her since she hated Summer time.
She sat there, drinking tea while reading one of the newest books from Alysia that Shiro got for her. She didn’t ask for her fox to do that, he just did when he went with Rain to the growing city. She was so interested in the book that she didn’t notice three guys want over.
Max let out a sigh, once he noticed just how deep she was. “I’m sorry man, I thought letting her read while I went to get you was a good idea.”
Takumi went behind her and looked over her shoulder. “Max, when did Elyasia get books on Dragons?” He asked blinking a bit.
The tear-green haired male thought a bit. “I don’t think this realm does....unless the human realm has writers who wrote some. Why?”
“She’s reading a love story with a dragon in it.” The red head said with a soft pout.
Slowly the third male walked over and knelt down, looking at the title of the book. Without noticing, Lira saw him, making her blink.
"Taro?"
The male blinked and looked up at her. “Yes, Lira?”
“What are you doing?”
“Looking at the title...why?”
“...all you had to do is ask.” She then looked over at Max. “And Maxie, I heard you. I’m not that deep into this book.” Then she leaned back, looking up at Takumi. “And this isn’t a dragon love story.”
Taro stood up and sighed. “She’s right. This book is about Dragon but it’s odd.”
Max blinked as Takumi leaned down and wrapped his arms around Lira. “Odd how?”
The purple haired male shrugged. “It jumps around a lot as the story goes on. It’s good, just odd.”
“Well Eragon is interesting as far as dragon books goes.” Lira said, closing the book and leaning back against Takumi as well as her chair. “But, putting the book aside, How is everything?”
The blue dragon sighed. “Everything is good yet Rain seems to still checking the spirit realm portal.”
“Lira, Should you even be near this forest with the portal acting up?”
She nodded. “Don’t worry, Taro. The forest isn’t doing anything to me other then cooling me down.”
“Since you hate the summer time here?”
Lira and Taro kept on with their small chat as Takumi looked over at Max. “Worried about Rain?” The panther asked.
Max nodded as he looked over at the slightly moving trees. He could sense the death in the cooling air that came from the portal it’s self.
Takumi noticed the worried look on the dragon’s face and sighed softly. He leaned down near Lira’s ear. “Let’s get inside, Princess.” He whispered.
Lira blinked but nodded. She stood up and grabbed both Taro’s and Takumi’s hands. “Maxie, go check on Rain.” She said softly as she went inside with the two males. Takumi grabbed her book before going inside.
