Chapter 1: The Not So Peaceful Morning

Morning light filtered through the thick trees and slowly lit up the green forest below. Slowly the morning rays came across a campsite, the fire long put out and the residents were sleeping; or had been sleeping until a high pitched scream awoke the group. The first one awake was a strawberry blonde young man. His eyes narrowing as he peeked out of the tent he'd been sleeping in. Pushing the flap back he spotted the source of the scream, the snowy white haired man of their group had his back pressed up against a tree with terror written across his face. One would ask why, but by now this young man knew the answer. Sitting across from the white haired man was the cocky green haired one holding a dangling centipede between his fingers chuckling.

"Jae-ha isn't it too early to be teasing Kija?" The young man inquired from his position on the ground.

Jae-ha turned his head towards the tent and smirked. "I couldn't resist." He said with a shrug before throwing the offensive bug off into the brush behind him. "Sorry Yun." He apologized.

Yun frowned knowing the green dragon probably didn't mean what he'd said. "You're just lucky you didn't wake Hak."

Upon saying the thunder beast's name Jae-ha paled slightly before coughing into his right fist. "Yeah. Didn't think of that." He said as he stood up. Looking over to where Kija was still pressed up against the tree the green dragon smirked. "Do you need me to help you Kija dear?"

"D-D-D-DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" He yelled at Jae-ha, his cheeks pink with embarrassment and his eyes alight with anger.

"You are too fun to tease my-" he about finished when he heard a woman's voice causing all to turn their heads towards said voice.

"You tease me too much Hak!" The voice cried out. A red faced woman came into the camp with a man following her; the man was smiling like he'd just won a great prize. "Ugh!" She groaned as she turned her gaze towards her friends who looked confused.

Yun looked back into the tent trying to figure out who was still in there and found the sleeping yellow haired man of their group fast asleep and snoring lightly with Ao, the squirel, sleeping in the nest of yellow hair. Yun felt himself sweat drop at the sight. Growling slightly Yoon kicked the sleeping man's leg. "Zeno get up!" He yelled.

"Ah!" Zeno cried out as he felt his leg get kicked. Sitting up her rubbed his head before rubbing his leg. He looked tiredly up at Yun. "Zeno was having a good dream too." He whimpered. Ao jumped onto his shoulder and made a tiny noise of agreement.

Yun rolled his eyes at the yellow dragon before looking back at the group. Kija was yelling Jae-ha while Yona was bemoaning at Hak for teasing her once again. Jae-ha looked to be enjoying his treatment by Kija; which bothered the white haired man even more. The white dragon is going to rip Jae-ha in half if he's not careful. Yun thought imagining that happening caused the strawberry blonde male to shiver slightly. Just then he spotted the blue dragon walking into the camp with some wood in his hands to start a fire so Yun could begin the morning meal.

Shin-ah walked up to Yun and looked down at the young man his questioning eyes hidden behind his mask. "Who started it?" He asked.

Yun grabbed his head in frustration. "I don't know any more." He groaned. "This is the fifth time in a week I've woken up because somebody was yelling at somebody else. It's always those four!" He cried out pointing at the offenders.

"We should put them in a box." came Zeno's gentle voice causing both Yun and Shin-ah to look down at the yellow dragon who was sitting on the ground petting Ao's stomach, the little animal wiggled in absolute pleasure at the attention it was receiving. "Hiryuu did it once to Shuten and Guen; they were the original white and green dragons." Zeno paused as he smirked. "It's kind of funny because those two remind me of them sometimes." His smile was one of nostalgia as he watched the two causing Shin-ah and Yun look at him with a bit of shock.

"You know I keep forgetting you were around then until you say things like that." Yun stated before taking a deep breath before stepping forward. "HEY!" He yelled causing the arguing parties to look at him. "SOME PEOPLE ENJOY NICE QUIET MORNINGS! BUT FOR THE LAST WEEK WE HAVE HAD TO ENDURE YOU FOUR RANTING AND RAVINGS!" His eyes narrowed. "Now." He began in a quieter voice. "If I wake up one more day this week to this I'm taking the matter in hand and everybody will suffer."

Yona approached Yun. "I'm so sorry Yun." She bowed her head in shame. "All week I haven't been hitting the marks in my swordsmanship and Hak's been teasing me because of it which in turn distracts me and-"

"No excuses Yona." He stated. "I'm tired of waking up to yelling and screaming."

Yona nodded. "Okay." She said in a quiet voice. "I'll help you make breakfast." She smiled happily at him causing the young man to sigh before he heard Hak's voice.

"I distract you do I?" Hak's voice was nothing but teasing. Yoon shot the thunder beast a murderous look that had the former Wind General backing up slightly from the young man. "Whatever." He muttered as he walked away to sulk a bit.

How did I end up being the sane one amongst these idiot beasts? He wondered as he opened his bag full of vegetables, herbs and seasonings. Scratching his head he needed to think quickly on what they were going to eat before another fight broke out. Turning his head he saw Zeno smiling at him with Ao now on top of his head, he seemed to be waiting to see what Yun was going to do. Growling lightly he pulled out some of the vegetables and began to chop them while Yona poured some water in their pan and began to boil it after Jae-ha started the fire once again. For now, things were once again peaceful. But how long will this peace last? The young man wondered as he paused in his food preparations. A box? Hmm... He wondered where King Hiryuu came up with that idea.
