~ Fire and Ice ~

I do not own both Firebreather or Naruto.

Duncan watched in amazement as he watched her transform. Her hands and feet became talons, thick silver scales began to wrap around her most intimate of places and her skin turned white. Her hair grew and somehow became her wings. After it was done, she turned to him, her face partly covered over with scales, her electric blue eyes seemed to glare at him. She looked...scary, she didn't look like a human turned dragon, she looked more like a...harpy. She opened her mouth, her pearly fangs glistened.

"I look hideous, don't I?" She asked. Duncan was slightly relieved that her voice was still the same. He stayed silent. Sakura frowned and turned away from him, looking up at the kaiju beast. "I won't as strong in this heat but being a fire creäture, my attacks should still damage him." The wings on her back suddenly stretched out.

"Wait, you can't go out there! What if you pass out like you did last time?" He could already see the sweat dripping down her pastel white forehead and hear her heavy breathing. "If you go out there and fight and suddenly have a heat stroke, you'll be vulnerable and be killed. Let me handle them." He grabbed her, pulling her out from under sun. "I can handle them." He assured her. She took a deep breath before slowly breathing out the cold vapor that you usually see on a cold day.

Suddenly, the skin under his hand became extremely cold that it burned. He snatched his hand away in a hiss before looking at her to see her blue eyes glowing dangerously at him, "I'll handle this." She hissed before taking off. A bit shocked from her cold demeanor, Duncan shook his head and took off behind her.

"Stop! Sakura!" He yelled. He growled, realizing that he couldn't catch up with her. She flew faster than him. He sucked on his teeth, he knew what to do but at the cost it might hurt her feelings but, if it was the only thing to keep her alive. He took a deep breath, "If you don't stop now, I'm breaking up with you and cutting us apart!" He yelled. She stopped and slowly turned to him, her blue eyes wide with shock.

It was working. He stopped also, "I don't want to be with a stubborn girl that doesn't listen. Stop now and I'll change my mind." Becoming relieved when he saw her feral appearance going back human, he sighed.

"Duncan I-" She started.

"Watch out!" Duncan yelled, when suddenly one of Kaiju beasts' appeared behind her. It grabbed her and threw her into one of nearest cliffs. He tried to fly toward her but the second one came out of nowhere and blew a huge stream of fire toward him. He dodged it flying over it, he looked over to where he saw Sakura land, he saw her unconscious in a huge hole in the cliff. He looked over and saw the beast walking toward her. He cursed when the one he was dealing with threw a clawed hand his way.

He blocked it with his arms but it knocked him back to ground, holding him there. He wouldn't get to her in time, "Sakura!" He yelled loudly, "Sakura, wake up!" He wasn't even sure if she could hear him. He closed his eyes as he felt them watering a bit. He couldn't save her.

Suddenly a loud pain-filled screech erupted out of beast holding him to the ground. He snapped his eyes opened and his eyes grew when he saw it was...frozen. Frozen stiff. Regaining strength, he pushed at one of its fingers and it broke like glass. He crawled from underneath it and stared in confusion, "What...?"

Suddenly it fell over and broke into pieces and behind it was Sakura. Duncan stared at her and she smiled back at him, "I told you I could handle them." She said. Duncan looked over to the other one and it was also frozen.

"How did you...?"

She lifted her hand, "Contact with my ice touch, causing anything to freeze over in seconds." She said walking toward him. She turned back into her human self, "Are you okay?" She asked gently. Duncan blushed and nodded his head, changing back also.

"Good." She said, suddenly punching him, knocking him to the ground, "Don't ever threaten me that way!" She yelled. He lifted from the ground and was about to argue with her but her sudden hug caught him off guard. He blushed when he realized she still didn't have any clothes on.

"Uh...ah.." Was all he could utter as he felt her breasts rubbing against his bare chest. He wasn't gonna lie though, it felt great. Just then, the sound of helicopter router wings sounded above them, wind and dust blew them both in the face.

"Duncan!" He heard his mother yelled. Feeling his heart drop upon having his mom see him in such of a position, he pushed her off him roughly in a panic. Realizing what he just did, he said sorry. All she did was laugh at him before passing out. Duncan immediately caught her, after a few seconds her body began to shake violently, staring down at her in confusion before realizing.

The heat.

He looked forward to see his mom and Blitz running toward them. "Mom, the heat. She's..." He paused giving both of them a worried look.

"Get her out of heat immediately!" They heard Dr. Patel yelled out the aircraft. Blitz looked down at her before picking her up and running toward the plane. Duncan watched after them before looking up at his mother.

~O

"That was close," Dr. Patel sighed with relief, "another second and she would of died. Her temperature was above 104 degrees." Duncan's eye grew, she would of died because of him. He ran a orange hand through his tousled blonde hair. What kind of knight-and-shining-armor boyfriend was he? He looked at the shape in his hand and stared long and hard at it.

He was beginning to regret...

"Duncan?" He looked up his mother. He saw her look at his hand then back at him. "everthing's okay?" she asked knowing nothing was. He sighed and shook his head.

"I feel...I feel as though I can't keep her safe. You should of saw me out there, I was pathetic. She saved my life and almost died. I don't think I can go through this, I know many more of those kind of fights are coming and know next time she won't be lucky. If me and her being together causes this much trouble, I don't..." He couldn't finish. Margaret smiled gently at him.

"You are not the only one who felt this way, trust me ask your father about it. He can give you a better explanation than me." He blinked, his dad? He haven't seen or spoken to him after the first encounter...actually, he hadn't had a proper conversion with him since he found out he was going to king of the kaiju. What made her think he was going to his father about girls?

"Mom, I don't-" He stopped when he saw Dr. Patel walk back out.

"She's awake." She said. He stood up and walked toward the one she came out of. As soon as he walked in, he let out a painful gasp as what feel like tiny needles digging into his skin.

"AH!" He yelled.

"Sorry." He heard the doctor, "to stabilize her, she had to be put in temperatures close to her natural habitat."

"You could've warn me." He said before taking a deep breathe. He closed the door behind him. Hearing the door click shut, her eyes instantly opened. She shot up from the bed and hugged him. He forced a groan down upon feeling her cold arms around his neck. God, they were colder than the room.

"I'm so glad you're okay." she said pulling away from him.

"You're worried that I'm okay?" He asked incredulously but shivering. He saw the worried look on her face, "Don't worry. If you can withstand my element, I can do it t-to."

She smiled, "but listen," he began, "I'm going to leave for a few days." Her eyes grew and Duncan knew exactly what she was thinking. "No! Sakura, I'm not leaving you...I just need-"

"You are." she said, "yes, you are." Her gaze fell down to their feet.

"No, I'm-"

"Is it her?" he gave her a questioning look.

"Huh?"

"That girl." Her head snapped up, her eyes glowing their cold look. He stared dumbfounded for a moment before realizing who she meant.

"J-Jenna? How in the world did you get her into this-," He sighed loudly, before pulling her into a painful hug that was killing him but he sucked it up,"Sakura, the reason I'm leaving is because of what happened. I can't stand to think that you almost died for me and-"

"Duncan." He pulled away from her and stared at her, "Please...shut up." She said, a smile grazing her face, "I did that just to show you that you don't have to keep doting on me and for you to like me more. Yea, I almost lost my life but I had you there to save me."

"But what if next time I'm not there?" He said, grabbing her shoulders, "Then what? For me to like you more, Sakura, I already like you...a lot and I don't want to lose the only person that understands me more than anyone else could," He let go of her and took a step back, "Just don't do anything stupid when I'm gone. If the kaiju come let Blitz and the others handle it." He held her chin up, "Okay, don't get me wrong, you are amazing but this heat; chill out."

He let out a small laugh when he heard her suck on her teeth, "Literary, huh?" She said, she shook her head, letting out a laugh before smiling up at him, "Okay." She assured him.

"Good, I'll see you soon." He dragged his hand from her chin to her throat, smiling before turning away and leaving out the room. Sakura watched after him sadly. At least she knew he cared about her but...he didn't give her any self-assurement about Jenna.
