Morning, My Sunshine

"Yuina...he's still sleeping. I guess he will wake up by tomorrow. How about if you also get some rest? It's already late at night." Kyra whispers slowly to her and pat on Yuina's shoulder.

She has been sitting beside Hayden for a quite some time and just silently watch over him. She looked worried, sad and she's looked like a cat missing her master.

"Kyra, the medicine is working, right? What if…it needs more flower?" Yuina lowered her head and staring the floor blankly.

"Hey…I'm the one who creates it. Have faith in me. We'll see the result tomorrow."

"En. But, can I sleep here tonight? I just want to watch him and the two of them too." Yuina shows her pleading eyes to Kyra.

Well, knowing that Yuina will stubbornly be sitting beside Hayden even if she said no, she finally gives up.

"Fine. I'll get another futon for you." Kyra stands up and slides the sliding door.

"Eh, aren't you also sleeping here?" Yuina asks.

"Huh? Me? Sleeping here? No, thanks.. it feels like I went into a tiger dent. I don't believe in Zane. If it is you, I believe Hayden will protect you even with his dead body." She chuckles a bit.

Yuina smiles to hear Kyra said it. It seems Zane's personality as a womanizer has been stamped on Kyra's mind.

After a few minutes, Kyra helps her to arrange the futon where Hayden will lay at Yuina's side and the other two men are at the corner of the room. The three dragons have returned to their stone form.

After arranging the futon, Kyra returns to the girl bedroom beside them. She untied her hair and slowly take off her yukata leaving her with an only white cotton robe.

Her tired body for working non-stop the whole day make her sleep like a log after she put her head on the pillow. Without her knowing, someone enters the room and watch her sleeping face. Touching her soft hair and smooth skin.

"Any news, Freya?" Akashi just slightly turns his head without looking at the person who stands behind him.

"Yes." Freya stops her pace and folds both of her hands around her chest.

"Hm."

"The rumor about the princess and the knight. It seems that they did not die and she is now recruiting the legendary dragons all over the country." Freya reporting to him the new info she gets today.

"Interesting."

"Not only that, one of their member had successfully made a cure for the drug effect. However, they lack sources. The key to making the cure is the White Moon Lily flower. That plant is only planted by the Fox spirit in Heliodor."

"Heliodor?"

"Yeah..and now, the best part is…" Freya glance at the man who only showed her, his back while smoking his pipe.

"King Hans is here. All of them resides at the palace."

"Hm? Interesting, don't you think? The fake and the true King is staying under one roof." He curled up his lips whilst puffing the smoke.

Freya did not answer his question. "What do you want to do then?"

"Prepare the ships. I will play with the general. Make sure after they get the flowers only you leave this place. Bring all of them too."

"Wait, you will leave too right?" Freya asks seriously. Somehow she had a feel likes he doesn't intend to leave.

"Hm? I planned to. But the General is quite…you know..attached to me. So, we'll see what happen tomorrow."

Sighing, Freya turns her body around, ready to leave the room.

"Just want to remind you. You have made a promise to me." She said and leave the room. She needs to do what she had to do so tomorrow's plan will be successful.

…

Early in the morning, the next day.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

A bird sound makes Hayden frowned. He tries to open her eyes which feels so heavy right now. Not only that, his arm feels numb as well. He can't move his right arm.

He slowly turns to look at his right side before his lips curling up to see the person who is in a deep sleep using his right arm as her pillow.

With careful, he moves his left hand and touches her hair strands which fell on her face. He tucks it behind her ear and run his finger to her jawline and stop at her chin.

He slowly moves his thumb and touches her velvet rosy lips. He gulps a bit.

"Ahem..Having fun, aren't you?" Zane suddenly interrupts Hayden's morning moment.

Hayden faces immediately turn red and he peeks at the source of the voice.

"Damn you, Zane." He throws his pillow to him at the corner of the room. He still laying on the futon even though he already regains his conscious.

"Pfttt..well, I couldn't help but admire how you can contain your inner desire toward her." He wants to laugh out loud but his abdomen feels so tight and hurt a lot. Like he just twisted his body in 360 degrees.

"I'm not perverted as you," Hayden stated it with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah yeah.." He rolled his eyes.

"Nnn.." Yuina suddenly moves her body and slowly opened her eyes. Her sleep was disturbed by the noisy sound.

Looking at the person who is now staring at her, she smiles and touches his cheek. The bright sunlight behind him makes Yuina though that she still in her dreamland.

"You look handsome and radiant." She chuckles a bit and crinkles her nose a bit.

Hayden scrunches his eyebrow a bit. "Thank you for your compliment. Morning, my sunshine." He took her hand and kiss on her knuckle.

Yuina gasps loudly and her eyes turn a bit wider when Hayden replied to her. Her face turns reddish and she immediately sits up after Hayden kiss her knuckles.

"I…I..I.." She stuttered.

"Pfttt…" Zane once again holding his laugh. "Ow. Ow. Ow."

"I'm sorry. I thought I was in my dream." She immediately explains to Hayden. Her face now as red as tomatoes.

Hayden holding back his smile to not appear on his outer face. "It's okay. Even though you thought it was a dream, I still happy though."

Drrrrrr…

"My King, we'll go in another half an hour." Jett suddenly slides the door and kneel at the front of the door frame.

"Oh! Yeah..I'll gets ready now." Yuina immediately stands up.

"Princess.." Hayden also wants to sit up but his abdomen hurt like hell. He falls back on the futon.

"Master Hayden. You need to be careful. Your body is still weak." Jett helps him and tug him back into the futon.

"Who are you?" Hayden ask.

"Don't you recognize who am I?" Jett smile at him.

"Your voice.." Hayden frowned a bit before he continues again. "Thunder beast?"

Jett nods his head. "Yup, that's me."

"You're the one who brings me back here, aren't you?" Hayden tries to remember the last thing that happens to him before he collapses.

"Yes. I use your body to come back here. You have been drugged that day. With a very high dose. Not only me, but Skylark and Nightfall also help me to bring each of you back." Jett explains to them.

"I see.." Hayden said.

"Sorry for late to introduce our human form. My human name is Jett.. and that.." A cyan mist form from beside Zane makes him flinch a bit. Surprise.

"Cerulean, the name for Skylark human form." Cerulean smile at both of them before he nods his head.

"Hi."

"And Nightfall.." A yellow mist starts to form beside Jett before it changes into a human form. "Is known as Roux."
