Dragon Immortal

Tachibana leaves the room and wonders off, "What's wrong with him?" Ian asks Maria and she sighs.

"Dragons are hard wired with the instinct to protect, he will seek out the thing he wants to protect the most and God help anything that stands against him," She takes a seat and talks about all the times Hitoshi went berserk.

Yuno gets out of the pool when the drones in the area have been taken down and stretches. Kai was feeling well enough to help out so he left.

"Excuse me, but your phone has been ringing none stop."

Yuno turns and takes her phone from the young girl offering it with a smile. She answers it and turns around glaring at Ken who snatched it out of her hands.

"Ken, that could've been an emergency give it back shouldn't you be watching Tori and Xavier?" She gives him an odd look when he turns around hearing a mob coming their way.

He had a feeling Yuno was in more danger than everyone else and he hates that he was right, "Everybody leave and stay hidden, they're coming for us." Ken states and the people start to slowly leave the room and he takes Yuno's hand walking in a different direction.

Her phone rings again and she snatches it from him and answers it.

"Yuno it's Maria, it's about Ken."

Yuno looks at him and he looks her in the eyes, "What?" Yuno can barely hear what Mario is saying she is talking to fast and Ken is moving too first too, "He's right here I'm sure he'll tell me himself." She hangs up and Maria stares at her phone in disbelief.

"Either she's an idiot or has a death wish." Maria states getting the boys to get inside and getting them whatever they want to ease their minds.

"Ken, is there something you want to tell me?"

He shakes his head and stops when they are inside the gymnasium cafeteria suddenly giving her a hug, "I'm just happy you're okay." She taps his arm and smiles looking him in the eyes.

"Woah, I've never seen your dragon scales before, last I saw actual dragon scales was when Xavier turned into an actual dragon which freaked me out, it doesn't hurt does it?"

Ken shakes his head and holds out his hand talons extending, "It's called going berserk, it doesn't hurt and we don't lose our sense of self in any kind of way, but the urge to kill anyone who would hurt the ones we love is hard to control.

"There has to be a perfect balance between the human and dragon side inside our bodies be more of one thing than the other and it triggers a transformation to reset your instincts I can't stop it from happening, but I know you can stop me from hurting people."

His wings pop up and Yuno snorts and jumps behind him lightly grazing them with her touch,

"They're hot, is that normal?"

He nods and Yuno rolls over in laughter when he grows a tail. "I'm glad you find this amusing you won't in a few seconds." He smirks and fully transforms and Yuno stops laughing looking at his tail.

"Screw you Ken, I wasn't done laughing at your embarrassing tail."

Ken wraps his larger tail around her snaking her body and lifting her up. They lock eyes and the door swims open showing Ackerman with Setsuno who finally woke up.

"Ken? What the hell?" Ackerman jumps on his back and irritates Ken by playing around with his ears he knows he hates it.

"Hey, quit it you're making him squeeze too tight."

Setsuno joins Ackerman and stares at Yuno, "This is what a dragon Immortal really is? An actual dragon? Woah, that's so epic."

Ken groans and it comes out as a low growl escaping his throat when Setsuno won't shut up. Asking any and all questions he can think off.

"Ey, this is something that stays in this room or else your memory is getting erased."Ackerman says pointing between Yuno and Setsuno and they agree. "Get off he's about to change back."

Setsuno and Ackerman stand next to Yuno and Ken groans lying down, this isn't like when he shifts at free will, when he's forced to shift he's also forced to endure the treacherous long hours of being in this form.

Izumi smirks when he's called in by the commissioner to stop the attacks and the mob being his people stopped and disappeared without a trace.

"I have proven that I can handle the large masses and I have proven myself to the people, they will easily accept me and until the Empresses daughter is ready I will be at the throne.

"You are aware she is expecting in 3 months' time or earlier, she will be a mother it would be cruel to put her in a position of choosing between her new born child and the tedious duties of being Empress."

The office decides on a vote and decide on a coronation date for Izumi while discussing an election date for the new Parliament of the country.

Izumi doesn't like that at all, but he still has the power to choose who the Ministers are and that might give him the power he needs on the political side if he plays his cards right.

A dragon flies past the commissioners office and Izumi is dumbstruck he hasn't seen one in ages and he was sure they were all gone.

Given that the only thing that can kill him is a dragon he made sure to wipe them all out, but clearly he was wrong and he aims to find out who this dragon is and destroy it.

Kai and his classmates are gathered in the school hall for a head count. Everyone is clinging to their friends and look content that their friends are here, but there is one person who isn't here and he never realised he doesn't have any friends.

"Excuse me, but Saito Shirou isn't here."

Saito stops by the pools and walks into the building surprised to see another dragon actually exists, he sensed it a while ago and took a gamble following his instincts.

Ken raises his head and shrugs Setsuno off his back who was giving him a comforting massage and all, but the shock of another immortal and a dragon specifically was just too strong.

Saito looks at Ken and gawks at his incredible size. "You're just like me aren't you? Wow."

It's pretty evident he doesn't know what he is which might be a problem especially if someone knows what he is or if the wrong person knows what he is.

To have balance in nature there are long living standing rivalries between certain creatures that were made to have a balance in nature.

Dragons were all slaughtered by witches that were all slayed by Izumi in turn and everyone was convinced dragons are extinct and many Immortals who were turned and became dragons were killed on the spot by the witches who turned them.

Kai calls Yuno to ask for Snow to track down a student by the name of Saito Shirou and the boy turns when he hears that.

"We'd like to talk to you again some time later Shirou if you don't mind, but for now we'll have to take you to school and rule number one kid.

"Don't go shifting out in public like that again there's a reason you don't see others like yourself flying around in the sky, they were all killed." Ackerman explains with Setsuno walking behind him.

Ken wraps his tail around Setsuno and prompts him on his back lying down again waiting for a massage. Setsuno smirks at Yuno wiggling his brows at her and she chuckles at how goofy they are both being.

"I kid you not he smirked at me." Setsuno brags to Yuno and she stands in front of Ken and does the most ridiculous thing on earth. Pulling on a nose hair and Ken accidentally flicks Setsuno off his back.

Yuno tries to run off instead being grabbed by his tail and he glares at her.

"Dad!" Xavier uses his wings to jump on Tachibana's back and he also transforms into a dragon Tori freezes in his tracks and looks confused.

Ken puts Yuno down and looks in Tori's direction waiting for him to come closer he doesn't move a muscle in case his large size is too intimidating for Tori.

Snow zooms into the room and plays with dragon Xavier chasing him around non-stop while Ken is patiently waiting for Tori to make a move.

He runs into Yuno's arms and she carefully takes a step towards Ken lightly brushing him and gesturing at Tori to do the same.

"Hiiitoriii!" Xavier says standing on top of Ken's head naked.

"Wait, did you bring a change of clothes?" Yuno asks Ken and he shakes his head Tori smacks his nose and Xavier cackles.

"Hitori, come play with me."

Tori looks scared when Ken's tail wraps around him and flicks him on the top of his head landing on top of Xavier who coo's in laughter.

Yuno is the only one who hasn't been on his back and Ken nuzzles up to her. "Your nose is so wet, ewe."

Ken does it again and gives Yuno a sly smirk that leaves her surprised. Setsuno wasn't lying when he said he caught a smirk on his face.

"Get off you peep squeaks I'm working a delicate procedure here." Setsuno massages Ken with a herb that relaxes him.

Little does he know this herb was used to heal dragon scales and strengthen them, but it was also used to shed a dragons scale because people made armour out of them.

They are indestructible the only thing strong enough to penetrate them is a witches magic, but a lot of power must be put into it.

After an hour Ken shifts back and calls Maria to bring him a change of clothes.

Xavier screams and Ken notices that Tori is pulling on his tail it took him a while to figure out how to hide his and he doesn't know how to explain that to Xavier.

"Ey, don't do that buddy it hurts him, you don't want to hurt your big brother do you?"

Tori shakes his head and Yuno pecks the top of their heads when they make up.

Saito stands next to Kai and Rex who looked relieved that he is back.

"Where were you man? Kai here cried like a baby when he didn't see you." Rex teases and Kai only shrugs his shoulders not denying anything.

Saito always felt different and secluded himself from everyone he is surprised that someone noticed he was gone he was sure no one would notice.

"Are you okay?" Kai asks and he nods.

"Your sister, I met her today."

"Oh yeah? Did she heal you too?" Kai smiles and Saito shakes his head.

"She said something about coming to talk to me later."

Kai huffs, "Nah, that's all Tachibana's doing he's the one obsessed with abilities. I think he might offer you a job at the Palace."

Saito never really thought about a career after high school, but a job at the Palace sounds like fun everyone who works there has only good reviews and calls it a job where you get paid to have fun.

"Dude, let's go. Which block are you in anyway? I've never seen you around our block though that may be due to us always being in doors." Rex asks slinging an arm over his shoulder.

Saito noticed that Rex does that with everyone. "Uhm, Block 2A in the blue house."

"We're at the white house, you should come join us we have a whole bunch of rooms open that side."

"Sorry, but the rooms that side are for students who pay for accommodation hence why it's so luxurious and everything."

Kai looks surprised to hear that he didn't know, "Well, if Ken wants to hire you, you can bet your ass you'll be getting paid enough to join us."

"Oh, I'd really like that."

Ake and Kim look at the tied-up Lynx and Aiko who were caught escaping with the 2 stones.

"What do we do with these two?" Kim asks Ake and he shrugs his shoulders.

"Let's wait for Roku to decide, if they know about this we might need to find a different hiding spot and hope no one else knows what they know."

Roku is resting laying his head on Yuno's lap spent from all the crazy spells he had to do.

"Hey Roku, how does a Luxar differ from a witch exactly?"

Roku turns over and lies on his back while Ken is glaring at him from the corner of his eye drinking his coffee.

"Luxars are more powerful than witches and are the only immortals who cannot be killed, but they are rare and hard to find. I was the only Luxar in my tribe so they never let me leave or anything like that, not until he came to my rescue and kidnapped me."

He points at Ken before he drifts off to sleep thanks to Yuno's new technique that she made to help Xavier and his motion sickness.

"You kidnapped him? Ken how could you?" Yuno jokes and he glares at her before getting jumped by an energetic Xavier that he promised one on one time today.

"Xavier, calm down." Ken turns to Yuno and smiles, "Where's Hitori?"

"Sleeping, you know that's how he cools off. You two have fun and don't come back after 3 months Ken."

He kisses her and smirks, "I'm not making any promises."

She gets up and goes to her room too. It's almost back to school and her summer vacation better not be this hectic through and through she thinks to herself walking into the shower.

"Yuno." Ken calls swinging her bedroom door open not seeing her on the bed. "She's in the bathroom." He tells Xavier who sprints off in that direction.

Yuno turns around she just got out of the shower.

Xavier gives her a flower. "Sweet dreams."

Yuno smiles and pecks the top of his head before ruffling it and peaking out the bathroom door only for her lips to crash into Ken's.

"Wow you're so short."

"What's wrong?"

Ken shakes his head, "Xavier is the one who went rogue and said he wants to sleep in your room tonight he's not interested in going out with me."

"He's probably just tired, I'll get Bobo."

"Actually, he's already in my room and the damn mutt is on my bed."

Yuno laughs at him and picks up Xavier playing around with him before his bath going straight to bed.

Ken is out like a light next to Tori both on the bed with their shoes still on, luckily Snow comes to the rescue and has a field day with taking them off and wearing himself out enough to fall asleep between the two and knocking off ASAP.
