Breath of Fire: Dragons Game chapter III

))))))))

If you don't believe in dragons, It's curiously true. That the dragons you disparage Choose not to believe in you.

Poem by Jack Prelutsky

Yugi of the light dragon clan had a big problem. Or rather he had two normal sized problems that became one big problem when they came together. Problem number one, he was hungry so he had decided to go to the kitchen to find food and hopefully his friend Jou. This of course led to the second problem. He had no idea were the kitchen was. It wasn't his fault the castle was huge. It was after all, designed to house the emissaries of 20 some different clans and their servants, retainers, advisors, family and Landon forbid, their pets shudder. And here in lies the big problem, Yugi is lost.

"WHY DOES THIS LANDON DAMED CASTEL HAVE TO BE SO BIG?!"

"I was wondering that myself."

"Eeep!"

Yugi Turned around to face a pair of Garnet eyes.

"H- Hello Dark dragon prince Yami. umm... what are you doing here?"

Yami chuckled then smiled at Yugi before answering.

"Well first off please just call me Yami, and to your question you've walked past my door at least twenty times in the last ten minutes."

"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm a bit lost...."

"I can tell. Mind if I ask what you're looking for."

"The kitchen I'm-"

GROWL

"Hungry....."

Yami had to hold back fits of laughter at the embarrassed face to the light dragon in front of him. Though he couldn't quite hold back the smile that tugged at the corners of his lips.

"Ah, I can see or rather I can hear that. Well I just so happen to know were the kitchen is and I myself am feeling a tad hungry. Shall we go together light Dragon prince?"

"Please you don't mind me calling you by you're first name so you can call me by mine."

"Very well Yugi."

Yami watched Yugi as they walked towards the kitchen. The little dragon was truly amazing. Not only was he a beautiful on the surface but as a person he was breath taking. He didn't seem to hold any form of grudge against him for what he was. There had been a bit of nervousness initially but that was quickly dispelled with a friendly conversation. He also found out that he had two younger half siblings, Ryu and Yua. Apparently Yugi's birth mother had died giving birth to him. He was also the only grandchild of his clans Elder, Sugoruko. His Father it seemed blamed Yugi for his mother's death and allowed him very little freedom though the man had remarried to a woman named Sarah when he was about two years old. He got along wonderfully with his half siblings. Ryu, He bragged was a genius with the sword and was quickly mastering healing and support magic. They were close because Sarah had been pregnant with him when their parents had married and Yua, who was only ten was as far as her brothers were concerned, the Cutest thing ever. Unfortunately He didn't get along to well with their mother. She saw Yugi, the kings first born son as a symbol of his mother and that she was only a replacement.

Yami also found himself opening up to Yugi a lot more than he ever intended. He had answered all of Yugi's questions without hesitation. He was almost disappointed when they arrived at the kitchen.

Upon entering the huge kitchen Yami was startled when Yugi let out a squeal of delight.

"Jou! You're here!"

Yami frowned as Yugi launched himself into the arms of a much taller Woran boy, who Yami supposed was Jou.

"Yugi! Hey long time no see!"

Jou lifted up the small dragon and spun him around obviously thrilled to see his friend. Yami on the other hand was less than pleased. This 'Jou' was far to friendly with HIS Yugi.

/Yugi's not YOURS yet ya know.../

'A mere technicality.'

/Right, right. Well you better not kill Jou you know, Hey! I made a rhyme! ahem just don't kill Jou the little light is quite (another one! I'm on a roll) fond of him it seems. /

"So Yugi, What ya doin' down 'ere?"

"Well I got hungry..."

"Figures, Well there's a hole tone of ice cream down in the freezer."

At those words Yugi's eyes lit up and he took of in the general direction of the freezer while Yami arched an eyebrow with interest. Jou just smiled and turn to face Yami.

"So you're Yami o' the Dark Dragons eh?"

"And you are Jounouchi of the Woran clans."

"..."

"..."

"If you hurt Yug' I'll kill ya."

Yami eyes went wide then became slits as he glared at Jou.

"What makes you think I wish him harm?"

"C'mon I'm not THAT stupid I see the way you look at him. I'm just saying that as long as you make him happy I'm happy but hurt him an I'll tear you apart."

"How very...noble of you."

"Yeah well Yug's like my little brother an I don't wanna see him hurt okay."

Yami was about to reply when Yugi returned carrying a large container of ice cream and three spoons.

"Ta-da! And it's my favorite too! Chocolate mocha swirl!" Yami blinked.

"Are you sure you should be having this much sugar before bed Yugi?"

"It's okay! I don't get much of this stuff at home; dad says it stunts my growth. I have a huge sweet tooth."

Yami lay in his four-poster bed. He was quickly formulating a way to win the little light over. He had already been given the 'go ahead' so to speak from Yugi's surrogate brother but the important part was the gifts.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: Dragons court! How they court is by giving the one they wish to marry a series of succeeding intimate gifts. The last is gold. The reason? Dragons like gold not for it's monetary value; it's used as bedding. When a dragon sleep in their natural form there bodies produce extreme amounts of heat that would ignite a normal mattress. So gold being a very soft metal makes a very comfortable bed for a dragon. Added to the fact that a dragon can only conceive when they're in their natural form the gift of gold usually like saying 'I want to start a family with you.' Cute huh? Though if any of the gifts before the gold is acknowledged and turned down the one courting must either start over again or give up. Also an important thing to note that both genders can reproduce in their natural form. There I'm done! )

'Well.' He thought to himself. 'I know he likes sweets and more of his friends should be arriving tomorrow and I shall find out what other gifts my little light will accept.'
