Now fully awake the Shadow eyes pierce like daggers “Hummm …” it said standing up, looking over the seen “so, what do we have here?” looking over at Swiftant who has now focused his eyes on Nozomi, there eyes meet. Each with perching fiery eyes full of intense hate, “So YOU’RE Swiftant, did that, old BASTARD of a dragon Shakura, send you to kill MEE??” The shadow snarled

“Ha Ha HAAAA!! that pathetic Rotting Peace of Shit Could even muster enough courage fight MEE??!!” Shakuras eyes grow with fiery he lunges to attack. The Shadow continues “ so he sends his worthless, Puny adopted grandson to fight MEE??”

Shakura pores all of his power, all of his hate, in to one enormous attack 10 times stronger then the one he used on Tatsu. There was no holding back now He wanted the Shadow and only the Shadow Dead “DIEEEEE!!!!” he screams “BAHAHAA” the aura Snaps Throwing the large man back in to the pillar with a loud “Crash” it crumbles to the ground falling on top of him. “HA HA HA …huuuum?” averting its attention to the others. “Oh You again …”looking in at Tatsu … "… oh and the blind boy HA, are you Prepared to die?” Shakura know severely injured gets out of the rubble, “Ha You still wish to FIGHT ME AGAIN? MEE THE ALL POWERFULL SILVER DRAGON AKUMA??? HA HA HA!!! This Time there will be no help from that BITCH Shima. BWAAA HA HA HA HA!!!

( In Nozomis Mind)

“Tatsu the moon its soo beautiful…”I say ” I wish we could stay together in this moment…” I blush looking in to his eye, “forever!”

** YES, I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THIS (I’ll be the bad guy as well as a good one ^_^) don’t worry their will be some more twist if you don’t kill Nozomi in her sleep hehe he ::laughs mimetically to him self :: anyway I couldn’t keep it in any longer had to finally write it, I have been hinting at it since the beginning If you look back you could see some. :D OH and Kanji don't worry about the time thing you'll see ^_^***

**wait wait.. who's shakura? Whn did tt person enter?**

** i still don't get it, u said the silverdragon has taken control of nozomi.
And its the silverdragon herself that adopted me and hired me. Then i dont c whr this person/dragon shakura comes in from. And did shakura fight Tatsu before? Is the silverdragon the shadow then? Is so, y isit attacking me? Im on the dragons' side.**

***No I just Named your adopted step dragon. Nozomi is the Silver Dragon um, well its inside her, I've been hinting sense the begging that she was but i don't know if any one got some of my symbolism. I think you said something about DragonSin clan or something I didnts see Silver dragon or i missed it or something ***

**Lol.. ok this is getting really complicated.. and i've also been hinting that i was part of the silverdragon's army, especially on my last roleplaying post which was b4 the part that the shadow claimed to be silverdragon :P My Graciousness=SilverDragon, since no one chose to genderize it, i took it upon myself to make it queen of the dragons. Dragonclan=SilverDragon and her army. I jus wanted to surprise all of you eventually lol. Now im really confused, all the storylines that i've been making up r gona go down the drain lol. Wad do u reckon we do? Wait until Ichirin comes online to decide or smth? OH! i noe, how abt we compromise? Even my character didnt noe that ur shadowself is the silverdragon. Then silverdragon chose to come and help swiftant in the form of nozomi's shadow XD**

***damn thats not what I really expected but ill go with it Oh and this should help with the Dragon disorder :D ***

Akuma gets up unscathed "HA never thought I would see that again..." she says as she blows out a section of wall "YOU... I remember you... I TOOK YOUR ARM, THEN THAT BITCH....grrrr" he fell silent.

Tatsu very agitated glared at her, hes one eye teared up.

"What do you Know about my Step Dragon?" Shakura Yells,

"Hummm still alive I see, Your Step dragon that Old Son of a bitch, he took my name after I disappeared... I'm going to kill that Motherfucker." she pulling her thumb across the front her neck, "but seeing that hes not here, YOU SHALL SUFFICE... till I find him and Kill him myself."

Tatsu seeking to take advantage of the distraction gets ready for his next attack when Akuma says "DONT THINK I have for gotten our Fight TATSU!! thanks to that BITCH I share this disgusting human body with her." Tatsu pauses "YES, you didnt know? Shes here with in me, but this time I will remain in control, this time I'm going to KILL ALL OF YOU HUMAN SCUM. "6 years is a LONG FUCKING TIME to be trapped." she whispers to herself.


(Nozomis Mind)

"Tatsu what are you thinking about?" I ask under the full moon light "Tomorrows almost here... Tomorrow we will finally be wed."

**Thx alot kuro =D and I picked on u earlier cuz at tt time u were the only one attacking me lol. Shakura's a nice name for a dragonqueen, i like it. But isn't it supposed to be swiftant questioning Akuma about his stepdragon lol?**

"That fool Swiftant! look at what he has done!!", I hear Tatsu screaming. I feel him getting up on his feet and preparing himself for a fight. I don't understand how he could have recuperated so fast. What about Ichirin and the female warrior? But i don't really care.. I'm too preoccupied with figuring out the source of Nozomi's new-found power.The danger impending on all of us are of a greater cause for concern right now.

As I continue to stare at the dark being, it hit me, no wonder this Akuma had given me the chills.

*Remembering his past*In the Dragon's Lair*

"Look My Graciousness, I have defeated all 4 of the elite dragons - the water dragon, nature dragon, the fire dragon and the lightning dragon. Now there's no one on this earth except you who i can look up to.", i tell her proudly. At that time, I was 17 years old.

"Swiftant.., no matter how powerful you become, no matter how much you exceed your limits, there is all but one being, besides me.., you cannot win against.", Shakura says.

"Oh, and who might that be? I'll prove my strength to you by bringing you his head!", i reply stubbornly.

"Unfortunately Swift, the one I'm talking about isn't a human.. He's the ex-SilverDragon.., Akuma."

"No way.., that's impossible.. You mean to say that you aren't the only SilverDragon?"

"Yes.. I managed to overthrow him by tricking him into getting cursed. Now he's stuck in the body of an ordinary child, never to resurface again.. But.."

"But?", i echo.

"If the child should feel either cornered or extremely enraged, the ex-silverdragon would be able to resurface. And everytime she does, he'll get closer to breaking the seal of the curse, putting the child in which he is repressed.. to suffer a horrible fate. What it is exactly, I'm not too sure myself.. All i do know is that.. if he is ever released, the world will never see the dawn of day again and the world we know will cease to exist.., giving in to pandemonium..."

I nod slightly and walk off. Secretly swearing to myself that i'll become stronger, resurrect the ex-SilverDragon, and somehow defeat him.
*End of past*

“Ha You still wish to FIGHT ME AGAIN? MEE THE ALL POWERFULL SILVER DRAGON AKUMA??? HA HA HA!!!", I finally come to my senses and hear the last of Akuma's words, just before Tatsu engages him.

Thinking:If Tatsu could only weaken Akuma, I know i'd be able to kill him.

After a few minutes of struggling, Akuma finally throws Tatsu onto the ground. Seeing my cue, my eyes glow blood red again and I plunge right at Akuma. I use my multiple image speed technique again. However, without warning, Akuma's aura increases a hundred fold and i'm knocked back.

"HAHAHAHA.. A mere underling of that bitch such as yourself can never dream to kill me!WAHAHA!!", Akuma roars menacingly.

"How DARE you insult My Graciousness.. I, Swiftant the DragonSin, will never forgive you! Brace yourself for HELL!!!", I hollered, getting up and glaring into Akuma's iris.This time, I jump high into the air and convert to my tornado technique. Akuma raises his arms in defence to protect himself from the blow.

*WHOOSH* I collide into Akuma and push him back, alittle. He laughs once more and strikes me with his fists. The force is so enormous that I slam into a burning tree, making it tumble down onto the grass and setting it ablaze as well.

"You are nothing.. but a ghost of the past who uses the bodies of others for your own agendas.", I said as i got up slowly, my head lowered and my eyes concealed in the shadows of my sakkat. "Have you no sense of dignity..", i continue.

"SHUT YOUR GODDAMN TRAP SWIFTANT, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO LECTURE ME?! YOU'RE WRONG BECAUSE YOU'RE WEAK. IF YOU'RE WEAK YOU DIE!!", Akuma shouts, cutting me off.

"This", I briefly reply.

My katars start to cackle with electricity. I raise them into the air and a lightning ball begins to form inbetween them, increasing in size, until it becomes as large as a dragon. It doesn't just stop there, the lightning ball actually becomes a dragon! The limbs and head protrude from the ball of energy, giving it life.

"The ultimate technique, KIMINARI(lightning) EDGE, DRAGONSIZED!!", I suddenly cry and launch a full scale attack at Akuma. The lightning dragon rockets toward him. There's another explosion but this time it fills the air with tonns of electricity, causing a storm to occur out of nowhere. The falling rain extinguishes the anguish fire and soothes my bruise-covered body. I black out.

**In the past with Tatsu and Shima, on a cliff in the Thauk Sul forest**

I look at Shima, she is as beautiful as ever, her long black hair reflects in the moonlight. Her soft white skin glows in the night. I peer into her eyes. "Tomorrow we will we wed." she says to me. She smiles and her dimples show. "Yes Shima," I say, "I love you so much more then anything." I grab her by her waist and pull her towards me. Our bodies touch and shoves her mouth into mine. Our bodies cast a silhouette, down the cliff and into the forest. "The moon is beautiful Shima." I say gazing into her eyes. "It is beautiful but you are more so." She smiles again, and I do too. I hold her in my arms.



****Cool battle, Swiftant and Akuma!!!!! ***

**-PRESENT, in the battle-**

The explosion was so massive, that it knocked out Swiftant. Seeing his bruised body unconscious, lying in the mud, and the rain is covering him, I sort of felt a touch of sympathy for him. Alot of the forest around Thauk Sul was destroyed. Luckily, only one house in the town was obliterated... It was the house that my Elvish powers sent the SilverDragon, Akuma into.

As the smoke from the extinguished fire rises, I can see that Nozomi/Akuma looks extremely weakened. He is on his knees, his entire body is bruised. I become filled with anger and grief. If the SilverDragon is destroyed, Nozomi will die too. A tear falls down my cheek as I look at Nozomi all bruised and cut. Blood is coming from her body too. If the SilverDragon pushes anymore, he will die in her body.

Again my Elvish Powers start to act on there own like before. I am telling my body no, but it goes anyways. I teleport in front of Nozomi/Akuma again. I hit her so hard over the head that she is out cold. I am glad that my powers didn't kill her. It was a big relief.... When Akuma went away, so did my Elvish powers, my eye turned back to its green color, and the purple energy around me was gone as well......

I can no longer hear Shima's voice calling me, I still think it was my mind playing tricks on me. She is dead, she cant' call to me, and I have to learn to let it go. Now Nozomi is lying in the mud too, she is bleeding badly. The black aura that was around her has faded. The SilverDragon has lost control and has vanished back into her body.

I pick Nozomi up into my arms. Her hair hangs to the ground. I look over at Ichirin and the Warrior woman. They are both far from the battle. Ichirin cannot see us. But he knows what is going on. I carry Nozomi back to Gruntz's house and I put her into the bed, with the bear fur blanket. I use a warm cloth and water to clear away all the blood, I wash the cuts, and cover them as well as the bruises, I tie the bandages tight, and wrap a towel around her head, she probably has a concussion.

I go back outside and pick up Swiftant's body too. I look into his face, he is still a kid, like Ichirin, though Swiftant is a bit older. I suddenly feel bad, I hate hurting kids, it goes against everything I stand for. I don't care if he is evil, someone his age should not feel the emotions that he feels. I bring him in back to the house and put him on a different bed in a different room. I take off his torn shirt and place it on the floor. He has some deep wounds on his chest, I put ointment and bandage all his cuts, wraping where it is needed. I place the blankets over him. Elvish ointment heals wounds fast. When they both wake up, their cuts should be gone soon after.

I go back into the kitchen where Gruntz had made me the stew. The fire is so warm, and I fall asleep on the rug.

**Ok, I'm not entirely sure where Ichirin and I are, so, I'm pretending that we just finished healing someones wounds and now we are trying to get over our differences in a civilized manner.....lol**

"So, um...I never did introduce myself, did I?" I asked

"No, you didn't..." he said kindly. I think I like him better this way. He has a nice smile, too. "What's the matter?" he asked, apprently my thoughts made me blush...

"Oh, um..." I stuck out my hand quickly. "My name is Myzura. I am a city warrior...I keep all harms to the city away." I smiled.

"Hi, Myzura. I'm Ichirin." he said, taking my hand and shaking it.



**sorry, thats all i got for now...lol. Sorry!**

Whenever I imagined Shima, I pictured her looking exactly like this chaarcter. So this is Shima.
NOTE: her ears are round, but she was 100% Elf:

**thats a nice picture.....she's very pretty (gets jealous and takes out anger on little bro)....(lol)**

**Yea.. she sure is beautiful.. Akuma was the one who killed her b4 shakura took over right? O_O she'd hv made a great wife, de gozaru.**

***Ok, um...scince no one is writing, I think I'm just gonna BS some, ok? Um...don't get mad at me though...k?***


I was so positive before that this 'Ichirin' was going to try and kill me, but now, I'm not so sure. Even though he seems nice, maybe I should stay cautious anyway. Maybe, I could ask to go with him and his little group of, whoever they are. I hope he lets me go. I can't stay here anymore. Too many memories...

*Flashback to Myzura's childhood*

"Mother!" called a little girl. She was about 6 years old and covered in dirt and ash. She looked around her small village. It had been burned to the gound, hardly a thing stood. "Mother!" she called out again. Her voice only echoed. After walking around her village for what seemed like forever, she called out one last time. "Mother?" Tears streamed down her face and the lonely little girl began to cry. She hid herself in what was left of her house and cried into the night.

*End flashback*

A tear trickled down my face as I remembered the lonelyness of my home village. I looked away from Ichirin, so he wouldn't see.

***thats all i can type...G2G, bye bye!***

Myzura and I were hiding behind a stone collumn in order to don't interrupt the fight. When the fight was still going on, Myzura tried to go check it out some times. At those moments i tried to make a conversation or else i just pushed her back. Cause these were things you didn't need to see, cause when the shadow comes up it will gain energy from you anger and by that making your furious it will be indestructable, these are things i noticed the last time when i fighted that creature.

I assumed that Tatsu went to back to Gruntz to heal his wounds. But though i could feel Tatsu's energy I couldn't sense the energy from Nozomi.

'What's wrong ?' I asked Myzura, i could sense she was thinking about something.

The moon was still shining into my red sparkly eyes. I went trough my hair with my hand, in order to put it like it's supposed to lie. Then i went trough my pocket, after a while i found my blindfold. I leached it back onto my face then my senses were optimal, cause when i didn't have my blindfold on i didn't see anything, but actually i see something, i see grey when you're supposed to see black. And when i put on my blindfold the grey turns into a deep black colour that swallows you into his endless galaxy.

PS: CoolNard, you said something about my weapon when the beam came out, it's a weapon it's high elven magic..actually too high for a boy my age, my real weapons aren't used often it are my guns, mother & father. And my elven magic is taken to a higher level, cause normally you have to say or write down some words in order to complete the spell, i do that same thing with my mind.

PS:Musashi, that's how i actually started my character Ichirin, by the picture of Riku you currently have as avatar, so if you need to picture Ichi, then you'll look at Riku

(Nozomi's Mind)

Our lips met as they have many times in the past, and every time it would send shivers up and down my back, "I love you, so much" I say softly. We embrace each other, for what I hope would be forever, he looks at me with his big round eyes and says, "I'll love you forever... Forever and a day" Tears fill my eyes.

"Whats wrong Shima?" he says, His face looks concerned. "I'm so happy... I just..." I cry some more thinking about what I'm going to say "I can't wait Im so excited" I said with a soft smile "Tomorrow is another day."

He smiles gently his face turns a light red. "Yes tomorrow is another day"

**oh, my bad ichirin. Thx for the compliment kanji**

"Swiftant.. You've failed me for the first.. and the last time..", Shakura whispers into my ears. I can't see anything, i can't move but her voice seems to be coming from all around me.

"No, no My Graciousness! Don't desert me! You still haven't help me to avenge my family and friends! Please, don't...", I yell into the darkness.

"Hahaha.. help you to avenge your family??We ARE the ones who killed everyone in your village!", Shakura's tone now sarcastic.

"Wha.. What are you insinuating??", I freeze, my entire body seems to have lost all life, her words seem to split me in half. Everything I had believed in, that i stood for - my dreams, hopes, ambition, satisfaction, the lives of the people I have brutally stole... down the drain with those words.

"I thought that you'd be able to defeat them.. but u lack ruthlessness, decisiveness. You hesitated.. and even before that, i already knew deep down u have been resisting the impulse to kill.. You, Swiftant, have foolishly deviated from my teachings.. and now have no longer any right to call yourself the DragonSin.."

"Naze(why).. Naze!? NAZE!!!!!!", i shout at her until my voice gets hoarse.

"Power, of course.. I aim to conquer the world with my bare claws and dragonarmy. The Freedom Fighters, even though they don't realise it themselves, are obviously merely a pretext to soften mankind's heart and let his guard down.. The only problem so far, is the ex-SilverDragon. He's the only one who can beat me.. but the child is loved by so many.. I'm sure they wouldn't let allow anything to happen to her.. hahaha... I'm a genius, whoohoohoo... Oh by the way, the reinforcements that i sent, they have received orders to crush the weakened lot of you. This shall be the final time we meet.., Swiftant the DragonSin!", and with those words, she's gone.

My eyelids flutter open. It takes me afew minutes to realise i'd been unconscious. I can still remember the dream i had.. all too vividly..

Thinking: It's gotta be a premonition.. It wasn't just a dream then.."

Forcing myself to calm down,my eyes turning to the colour of sky, I glance around at my surroundings. It appears to be some sort of wooden house. I suddenly realise that my body is no longer hurting. All the cuts have closed up.

Thinking: The elvish magic user with the sword, he saved me. But why did he treat my wounds? I don't recall doing anything to help them, infact, i was so bent on finishing them off.. Shakura turned out to be my enemy afterall... Why is the world going topsy-turvy..

I smell something delicious in the air. I deck myself in my ninja outfit and walk out of the room, towards what looks like a kitchen, following the fragrance. There is a fireplace there, by the rug, with Tatsu, Nozomi and the female warrior sitting on it. Ichirin is leaning against a wall, his arms crossed.

Thinking: They're good, they must have heard me coming and prepared themselves on short notice.

"Hi there Swiftant, won't you join us?", the warrior woman with the pearl-white skin asks with a beautiful smile. I step forward cautiously.

"Why're you being so generous to me? How do i know this isn't some kind of trap?", I snap.

"I think it's time to tell you the truth." Tatsu speaks. "Nozomi has a rare ability that enables her to sense the presence of dragons, and even dragon thoughts. When she was still unconscious, she heard everything that was said between you and shakura."

"You've been asleep for 5hours Swiftant. I woke up after three.", Nozomi sticks her tongue out at me.

"The point is Swiftant, Nozomi was able to describe the whole encounter you had with Shakura in your dream.", Ichirin says. Consequently,he and the rest begin pouring out the exact words that Shakura and I had exchanged with each other. My knees give way not in surprise to Nozomi's ability but to the feeling that had been stored inside me since Shakura's betrayal. I'd intially made an oath to myself never to cry. However, the emotions i feel at the present are just too overwhelming and my vision is blurred by tears.

"Yes, i'd like to join all of you, but only because Tatsu helped me defeat Akuma and I'd like to return the favor, and also.. that i need your help to avenge my village's honour.", i reply after afew moments of thinking. "Somehow, even though i know the truth now, i still cant erase the grudge i bear against humankind.. and you guys just can call me Swift." There is a deafening silence as the others nod approvingly in acknowledgement - until...

"Hey! So what should we do about Shakura's reinforcements then?", Nozomi suddenly asks.

**hope i went inside each of ur characters head perfectly lol, but if u guys arent content with it then jus pm me the corrections or smth and i'll edit it**

***OMG! this is getting so exciting! I love this! ok, I'm going to type some.***

"Come on, I'll show you guys a secret." I said. I erged the fighters of the upcoming battle to fallow me. I took them out into the forest to a large tree. After knocking on it a couple of times, I pulled on a branch, and a small door opened. "Let's go. We don't have all day..." We climbed inside.

"What is this place...?" asked Swift as we entered.

"This...is an armory. Just because we of Tauk Sul are mostly middle-aged and elderly doesn't mean we don't know how to protect ourselves." I snapped, nicely.

"Well, it is nice..." stated Ichirin.

"It is...Well, boys, go ahead, and grab some. Surely you will need some sort of armor?"

After about an hour of chosing who gets what armor, I suggested we all go back to the hut. As we headed back, I pulled Ichirin to the side. I didn't know why, but I felt the need to spend more time with him. "So, Ichirin, um...hi..." I said shyly as we walked through the forest together. He just kind of looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. He made me feel so much better. When I'm around him, I don't feel like a warrior, but instead, an actual woman.


***All I got...sorry***

*Ichirin, doesn't ware any armour, just his black cloak. He's to cool to wear anything heavy and something that doesn't match his blindfold :D *

Myzuri pulled me aside, and said 'hi'. This was weird, nobody has ever done this before, i actually feel weakened, I don't know what i am feeling. I feels like somebody has just carved a flaming sword trough my belly. Though i liked the feeling.

I answered her question also with a "Hi", then i pulled my arms behind my head, being a bit embarressed.

Right after i answered her, i felt worried about Nozomi and Tatsu, what were they up to ? I haven't seem them for a while, though I am in the middle of a forest.

I could hear Tatsu and Nozomi leave the tree-armoury, i was wondering what they were going to do. I was intrested.

But then the blindfold covering up my blind eyes was pulled off, it was being pulled of by Myzuri. She drops the blindfold onto the ground, my red eyes were sparkling. I touched her face with my right hand, going trough her hair. I slowly come closer to her, grabbing her hand with my left hand. Our faces were right across each other. I could feel her beauty, actually see it, picturing her textures inside my mind, her beautiful smile. My right hand slowly fell from the ends of her hair onto her back. This was a feeling that i knew, not like that before. I've felt it when i was with my parents, back when they were still alive.

"Could this be love?" i asked myself.

**sorry I don't like heavy armor ether, But I think I'll take something light**

***very very nice. I was worried i'd have to try and make the first move, oh, but it is so done for me...lol...Thanks much!***

Ichirin was very close to me now. What was this? What was he doing? I didn't ponder on it too long, because I was afraid that if I did, this feeling would go away. I didn't want it to, anything but that. At this very moment, everything I knew disappeared. Every problem, every fear, every doubt. And though I wasn't sure if that was a good thing, I still let myself be surrounded by it. Consumed by every little bit.

I brought my hand up and held the side of his face. I found it so amazing that he could see me without seeing me. I slowly guided his face closer to mine, our breathing starting to become quick and heavy with excitement. Finally, the shock ran through us both as our lips finally touched. I closed my eyes and felt the room around me fade into darkness. I felt so complete. A feeling I hadn't felt in such a long time. Ichirin completed me without even knowing it. I didn't want to leave him, I didn't want to feel incomplete again. Being with him, kissing him, made everything so much better. I found myself wanting him, needing him to survive. He pulled back a bit and we broke apart. Our breath mingled for a short while.

"Why...Why did you stop...?" I asked hesitantly. In a way, I felt stupid, but I had to ask.

"Did you not want me to?" he said casually. A little smirk spread across his face. I kind of wanted to hit him for teasing me like this, but I didn't.

"No, why would I want that?" I said. His smirk grew to a smile and he leaned back in. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. The spark came back as soon as our lips touched again. I felt the want in his kiss, as he probably did in mine. I continued to pull him close to me. And though our bodies were touching, he wasn't close enough. Eventually, I was backed into a wall. There was no possible way he could get any closer, so instead, I held onto him, so he wouldn't leave unless I let him. And I wasn't going to let him any time soon.

I don't know what this needing was, what this feeling was. Nobody told me a human could feel this way. Why didn't anyone tell me about this feeling? What was it? Was it love? that was my only question...Was this love? And was he feeling the same way...?



***Oh, so hot, go me! LOL! (and just because of the mood...:rheart: ...A HEART! lol...)***

**Swiftant doesn't really need armor either, he's got enough ninja plating on him alrdy lol. And nice job on the hot moments there musashi!**

After fussy moments of choosing, picking and quarrelling over who gets to wear which armor, we exit from the from the tree of armory and start towards the forest. I follow suit, behind Tatsu and Nozomi. Myzura had pulled Ichirin into a corner, awhile back. Although I don't know why, and i cannot understand.. Half of me feels dejected. Watching Myzura behave like that aggravates and torments my heart, filling it with envy and anger for Ichirin. It feels like i missed the train to potential happiness.. It's picking up speed but i dismiss the impossible and continue to chase it. Alas! I run into a pole and knock myself to the ground.. Not bothering to get up, I watch on as the train leaves the station to paradise.. without me.. Is this what jealousy feels like? I don't want it nor do i need it.. but i can't help it..

The other half of me however, is more worried about the upcoming arrival of the dragon army.

Thinking: Did I make the right choice in joining them? Will this battle determine that? What if i was wrong? What if the casualties of the upcoming battle set the path of freedom for Akuma? The prospect of risking the Akuma's ressurection for the price of beating Shakura is heavy.. No.. i won't let either of the SilverDragons triumph over us.. After all that's happened.. We're wholly responsible for the fate of this universe. I just cannot afford to lose...

The assortment of emotions stirring inside of me in one sitting makes my stomach lurch. I don't know if i'll have enough power to overcome the wrath of the dragon army in this state. As day gives way to night, we pick up speed, sprinting with our arms behind our backs(naruto style! XD). Tatsu breaks the silence by asking Nozomi if she can sense the location of the dragons. Knowing Tatsu, he probably wants to ambush them or something. I offer my skills of understanding dragon language and knowledge of where they're coming from to them. Upon reaching an open area, we immediately take cover behind some huge moss-growing boulders. Instinctively, with a swish of my cloak, i blend in with my surroundings. The others look surprised, but understanding shows on their faces when I explain it to them.

All of a sudden, the gentle breeze beings to blow up, turning into a great, howling wind. I can feel and hear alot of air pressure above our heads.

"Where are they? Her Graciousness said they'd be here..!", a low and indignant growl can be heard over the rustling of the wind through the trees. They have arrived. The time for a face-off is now! As the moon rears her ever-shimmering head in the dark sky, my eyes scorch red and a smile reluctantly crevasses my lips. I slowly get my bow and arrows at the ready. The seed of war has once more, blossomed!

**In the next episode: Exactly how many dragons does the DragonArmy consist of? Who will stand at the top of the ladder of victory? Will it be Tatsu~the lovesick and ever-resourceful elven-magic and sword-user, Nozomi~the perky and energetic ninja who possesses a dark alter-personality, Swiftant~the self-arrogant assassin yet, powerful and well-equiped enough to back his words up, Myzura~the still mysterious, romantic and beautiful female warrior OR will it be Ichirin~the almost-equally mysterious blind child mankiller? Who WILL reign victorious over the other? Will Swiftant meet another dragon he knows whilst battling the DragonArmy? Will Ichirin and Myzura eventually become an item and break Swiftant's heart? Will Tatsu's plan of ambushing the dragons work out? WiLL Nozomi be able to contain the ex-SilverDragon??!! Find OUT all, in the next episode of DragonBusters!!! (i cant think of a btr name, LOL)**

***I'm just going to go back in time just a bit.***

What the hell where they doing in there I though to myself, looking back in to the tree. "Oh, if that Ichi is doing anything perverted to that sweet, innocent girl, I'm going to kick his sorry ass so hard hell kiss the moon." I say to myself. I pause and think back. "The moon." I say. So I knew Ichi and Tatsu before... "HUH? Then why doesn't Tatsu remember me?" i think to myself. "Ichi i can understand being that he was so young, but why not Tatsu?... Are this really my memory's? I want to ask him, every thing about me but..." I think back to the dream I had, "I... Love... Tatsu?" I thought full of doubt. Finally the two come out from the tree, "Well where have you been?", their silent, both of their faces a bit red. "Ohhh what do we have here???" I ask to stop myself form thinking about Tatsu. "Ichi you got some explaining to do." I say in a bit of a sly tone.

"Whats there to explain. Idiot." Tatsu replies,

"You Rude Little shit." I retort,

"Enough the DragonArmy will be here soon we must get moving!!" Swiftant shout's over us arguing .

"Fine lets go shall we." I say "but where are we going to go" every one is looking at me "phaa I don't know like I said I cant just pick out any dragon I need to be at least a mile away to sense them." I look at Swiftant "You where the one that perked my senses when you got here, Um try like talking to them or some thing."

"Unfortunately its not as easy as that, it was Shakura who made the connection to my mind." he said.

"Well then I guess we just head to the dragon's mountains, we'll run in to them soon enough" Tatsu says

"Well lets go!!" I say "but can we eat before we go?" Tatsu and Ichi, they always complain about my eating I look for an excuse. "Um oh Myzuri ah she has a hungry look on her face,um the kind you get from not eating for a while. hehehe." I saying this I put my hand behind my head.

*** I dont know if just one of us is going to kill the dragon but I was thinking that all of us did it together. ^_^ ***

**It's the DragonArmy, so i think there shld b like, mor dragons. How about each of us take one? that shld make 5 of them as well. Oh i *can* still talk to them. Only thing is not being able to telepathically connect to them, yea..**

*The dragon army is more going to be like 100000 dragons, we don't have to defeat them. We need to unify the broken cities of Etrirea, they'll aid us. But while they'll be fighting we go for the head dragon. But first we actually need to unify them. Just think of battle such in LOTR (lord of the rings) trilogy.*

"There'll be too many of them for us to take them on, even if they emperial army of Asgard is behind us, they won't even be a challenge for that large number of dragons." i said to them. "The best thing to do is to get the broken cities who untill now, compeated each other, to get them unified, with that army the dragon army will have a challenge, and by that battle the future of Etrirea is going to be sealed." I proceeded.

The faces of all my companions turned into a blur, the had no idea there was such a huge number of dragons in the army. But now they know their numbers they were even more motivated, but I didn't say about these dragons, these military dragons. They were much stronger then the other dragons, having thicker armor and better weapons, they were our ultimate enemy. But we weren't meant to be fighting them, we'll go for the main target, The silver dragon (can't remember his name). But all these thing i didn't tell them, i didn't want to break their morale. They'll see with what they have to compeet once they'll have to fight it in person.

"I suggest we go to all neighboring cities to let them know about the peace-treaty in order to unify forces." i said to them, standing on a tree stump.

"Therefor i suggest we'll travel in pairs, to be able to defend ourselves a bit when we run into the army". i answered their hopeless faces.

I got of the stump, walking to Myzuri to comfort her. When I arrived her i hugged her tightly, at first she didn't hugged me back...she was startled by what i just said...but after a while she started hugging me back.

**Lol..! Ok.. 100000 dragons.. but with that huge number they'd hv to hv some kinda leading dragon right? Like some sorta general? Im planning swiftant to fight 'the golden general, Thrandos', cuz swift actually knows that dragon. Since there're 5 of us, u guys can split up into ur own grps of two and i'll deal with the general and catch up later while the ppl take on the army, is tt ok?**

***Hmm, you guys sound like you want to end this story already, but whatever, I'll take Nozomi and head to Asgard.***

***Ichirin and Myzura should head to Mas Thâk, and Bachuu. Who ever doesn't get to Disan city, I can go with Nozomi, because I can fly on my Eagle summon Gana, is this ok?***

Yea, that's cool. But we'll have to get something that some cities won't join inn because of their conflicts before, we need to lose the battle so we become prisoners of some sort, this way the story'll continue and we have more writting pleasure. Agreeing with Kanji, that we shouldn't finish the story yet, i hope that we can last the story for ever:D

Anyways i'm waiting for musushi to post, we need to get on with being romantic.

**u guys can continue. i really hv to go now.. whn i come bk i'll jus pick up frm whr u left off then go abt doing my own business :P**

I looked Myzuri in the eyes, i could see her, very clearly... My red eyes sparkled in the rising sun. I could tell this was another of those moments, moments that'll last for ever. I rubbed her back with my hands and said :" It'll be ok, i won't let anything happen to you." Then i went with my hands up towards her face and slowly came to her, then i waited a time, looking her deeply in the eyes i kissed her.

Sitting on the a king's back i felt good, though that's not the thing i am thinking about. The only thing that was circling around in my mind was Myzuri, she sat right infont of me, though i couldn't stop thinking about her. Actually i can't stop thinking about us. Myzuri let her head fall into my shoulders, I holded her. Between all the things about Myzuri inside my head now there was an other though circling, the thought of the dragons. Now i was worried, i holded Myzuri tight to me. I was thinking what would happen if she'll die fighting for me. "No, i will not let that happen to someone i love, not anymore !" i yelled out. Myzuri looked at me, worried ofcourse. I shouldn't make her worry about me, therefor there's a chance she'll try to protect me and die, but that must not happen. Now i holded Myzuri even tighter to me, saying :" I will never let you lose my heart, i promise you that." I cuddled her, thinking of happy times with Myzuri now. When we entered the desert the sun started to rise, it must've been a beautiful sight, cause that's what Myzuri told me, and i've putted my faith into her. In the desert Kaulus wasn't moving as quickly as before, the sand made him to lose his grip so he couldn't ran as fast anymore.

*When Myzuri is going to online, she has a lot of catching up to do :D *

so you are suppose form ateam with someone?
