I don't own Dragon Knights.

Since I'm crazy, I've decided to do a Rune/Lykouleon and a Rune/Kharl. I'm going to do the Rune/Lykouleon first (as you can see). If anyone has a problem with that, go cry to someone else.

Summary: Varawoo is separated from Rune, takes a human body, and says he'll join the Dragon Tribe in their fight against Nadil. Now Rune is faced with the decision of wither he's in love with a demon that could betray him at any second, or the Dragon Lord he's severed for years.

Note: The Dragon Queen is dead in this story. She has been dead for about a year and a half. Nadil is still alive but he hasn't been causing any trouble since he killed the Dragon Queen. Yes, Nadil is the one who killed her.

Passionate Decisions

Chapter 1 Separation

The Dragon Knights had all been in Thatz room when they had all fallen asleep. Kharl smiled remembering the last time he had gotten so close to Rath. It had been exactly like this, only the Knights had fallen asleep in Rath's room. But, today he hadn't snuck in the Dragon Castle to get close to Rath. No, he was there because of a different reason. He was going to set Varawoo free, separate the Demon Fish from the Elfin Prince.

As he began the spell, Rune suddenly woke up. The Water Knight began screaming as soon as he felt the pain course through his body. Fortunately for Kharl, the spell wouldn't take that long, for Rune's body was already splitting in two.

Rath and Thatz both woke up when Rune started to scream. They looked at Kharl and then at Rune, who was hanging in mid air and had a glow surrounding him. "Kharl, you..."

"Do you wish to keep talking, because I can always put him in more pain if you do," Kharl said, flashing an evil grin at the Fire Knight.

*****

Lykouleon, Ruwalk, and Tetheus all looked up when they heard a scream. "Rune!" Lykouleon whispered, fear in his voice.

The three ran out of the room, toward where the screams were coming from. 'Please not Rune. I already lost my wife, don't take him away from me as well,' Lykouleon pleaded with whatever higher force there was that would listen to him.

******

Thatz ran forward to catch Rune as the unconscious elf fell to the ground. The two conscious Knights looked with shocked expressions on their faces at the other figure that fell as well. This new person looked like Rune, only he had silver hair, looked somewhat taller than Rune, and he definitely didn't appear as innocent as Rune did.

Rune began to wake up, just as the other figure stood up. Rune looked into the new beings eyes just as Thatz set him down, and Lykouleon ran through the door. He stared in fear when he realized whose eyes he was looking into. "Varawoo," he whispered.

Lykouleon heard Rune and quickly realized that this new being was the Demon Fish. He pushed Rune and the other Knights behind him, so that he was standing between them and Varawoo.

Everyone stood in shock when Varawoo suddenly bowed to Lykouleon. "My Lord," he said in a clear voice.

"Wait, aren't you Varawoo?" Thatz, who had also heard Rune name the new comer, asked.

"Yes," Varawoo answered in the same voice. Rath shuddered. He didn't like that voice. There was something wrong with it.

"Then why are you calling Lord Lykouleon your Lord? I thought you served Nadil?" Ruwalk demanded from the Demon Fish.

"I have been locked in the mind of an elf. What do you think that will do to a demon?" Varawoo snarled at the Yellow Dragon Officer. "After all, they are beings for peace..."

"And after being trapped in Rune's mind so long it's forced you to want to protect people instead of trying to kill them," Rath finished for him. Varawoo just nodded in response.

"You are welcome here, but if you try anything to hurt anyone here, we will not show you mercy," Lykouleon said calmly, although his gaze was full of hate.

"I understand, My Lord," Varawoo said bowing once more.

*****

"Rune." Rune turned around to see Rath standing behind him, a dark look in the Fire Knight's eyes. "Can I talk to you about Varawoo?"

Rune nodded and smiled at the younger boy. "Of course, Rath. What do you want to know about him? I'll try to answer if I can."

Rath walked over to him and sighed. "Rune, do you trust Varawoo?"

After a few moments, Rune didn't answer and Rath began to think he wouldn't. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you something like that." Rath turned to go when Rune's voice stopped him.

"It's not your fault, Rath. It's just..."

"You don't know?" Rune nodded.

"My heart tells me he's still n enemy, but I want to trust him."

"Do you love him?"

Rune blushed when Rath asked that. "I-I don't know."

"Your going to have to chose." Rune looked at him questionably. "You haven't realized it yet, have you?"

"Realized what?"

"Varawoo's after you and he'll make his move before you can think. Lykouleon's watched you for the last six months and will only put you in a relationship if you want one with him." Rath looked at the Water Knight who had a shocked expression on his face. "You have to chose who you love," Rath said and then before Rune could say anything, he walked away.

*****

Rune stood on his balcony looking out into the courtyard. Across that courtyard was the Dragon Lord's room. Only, Rune didn't know if he loved his lord or if he loved the Fish Demon. After all, Varawoo, no matter how evil he was, was now a permit part of him. But, Lykouleon had been his lord for years, and he'd always do what the Dragon Lord asked him to do.

"What do I do?" Rune whispered to himself.

"About what?" a calm voice asked.

Rune didn't turn around to see who it was. He already knew that it was Varawoo. He felt the Demon Fish come up right behind him and wrap his arms around the elf. "You're the second person hose snuck up on me today," Rune said turning around in Varawoo's grip.

Before Rune could protest the Demon Fish had pulled the Knight into a passionate kiss. When they finally broke apart, Rune was breathing heavily, but Varawoo just had a sly grin on his face.

Varawoo pulled Rune into another kiss as soon as the elf had caught his breath. Rune pushed away from him quickly when Varawoo's hand went a little to low for him. "Please, Varawoo. I'm not ready for this. I don't even know if I love you," Rune whispered turning away from the demon.

"I understand," Varawoo said. He gently kissed Rune's forehead and left.

After a few minutes Rune looked back across the courtyard. He gasped when he saw Lykouleon standing on his balcony looking at the Knight with hurt eyes. Rune felt as if someone had pierced his heart when he locked eyes with the Dragon Lord and saw the hurt in his eyes.

*****

Varawoo smiled evilly. Both the Dragon Lord and the elf that had captured him, they were both in his grasp. His real lord, Nadil; would be very pleased.

******

Lykouleon watched as Rune and Varawoo exchanged the heated kiss. He felt his heart begin to break, but was given some hope when he saw Rune push Varawoo away. He felt guilty when he locked eyes with the elf, because he knew he had not kept the betrayal out of gaze.

He watched as Rune left his room, but the Dragon Lord felt his world shatter when a saw a small, crystal like tear fall from the Water Knight's eyes.

He looked up when he felt a small weight on his shoulder. Sitting there was the Water Dragon. The little dragon gave Lykouleon a look that said 'Follow me,' and flew out of the Lord's room.

Lykouleon followed him out onto the roof of the Dragon Castle. He stopped short when he saw Rune there. The Water Dragon had flown over to him and was now in his master's arms, trying to comfort the crying elf.

"Rune?" Lykouleon whispered.

Rune looked up and as much as Lykouleon hated to admit it, the crystal tears on his face seemed to enhance his beauty. "Why does everyone want to come up behind me today?" the elf asked in a soft voice.

Lykouleon would have preferred if Rune had yelled at him. "I'm sorry."

Rune looked away from the Dragon Lord and back out to the castle grounds. "I love spring," Rune said to Lykouleon. "It's the time when everything begins to grow and when everything seems so perfect."

"It is beautiful," Lykouleon agreed as he steeped beside Rune. But, he wasn't looking out at the grounds. He was looking at Rune. He smiled at the Water Dragon when it looked up at him. If dragons could smile, Lykouleon would have sworn that Water would have the biggest smirk on his face the world had ever seen.

"Is what Rath told me true?" Rune asked, looking at the Dragon Lord once more.

"Did he tell you I've been watching you for six months?" At Rune's nod Lykouleon continued. "It's true. I do love you, but if you love Varawoo, I will try to except that."

"Rune smiled sadly at him. "That's the problem. I don't know who I love."

Lykouleon gave him a small smile and kissed the Knight's head softly. "Your heart will tell you when your ready."

*****

Rune walked back to his room, Water still in his arms. He saw Varawoo waiting for him outside his room. He sighed. "Let's go deal with this. You have my back?" Rune asked the little Water Dragon. Water just glared at Varawoo with hatred clearly written in his eyes.

"Varawoo," he said sweetly, and gave the demon a smile as he turned to go into his room.

"What do you think you were doing, Rune?" Varawoo asked him in a deadly voice.

"What do you mean?" Rune looked at him questionably, even though he knew what the silver haired demon was talking about.

"What were you doing with Lykouleon on the roof, you little whore?"

"Nothing. Just talking to him," Rune answered truthfully, felling somewhat.

Varawoo glared at him. He suddenly grabbed Rune's arms and pulled the elf toward him. "You're mine you hear that? MINE!"

"Hey, I think Rune can decide for himself if he belongs to you or not."

"Yeah, it's not like he's your slave or something."

Varawoo and Rune looked behind them to see Rath and Thatz. Varawoo just snarled and pushed Rune away from him before he left.

Rune hit the wall hard and fell to the floor. Rath and Thatz ran over to him. Rath gently picked the elf up and carried him into his room.

"Do we tell Lykouleon?" Thatz asked once they had put Rune down.

Rath shook his head. "I don't think we should. It would only worry him..."

"And he doesn't need to be worried right now," Thatz finished for him.

*****

Rune wok up the next day to find himself in his room. He looked out the window to see Lykouleon's room. He stood up and looked at his reflection in the mirror that had been placed on his desk. He looked at himself and felt as if he was looking at Varawoo.

"I know what I have to do now," rune said to himself before he rushed out of the room.

*****

Lykouleon heard a knock at his door but didn't turn around. "Come in," he called, not really caring who it was.

"My Lord," Rune said as he stepped onto the balcony. Lykouleon turned around and stared at him.

"Rune, what- what are you doing here?"

"Do you not want me here?" Rune asked in a hurt voice.

"Of course I want you here!" Lykouleon hadn't realized how close he had moved toward Rune until he suddenly found the elf in his arms

"I love you," Rune said as he stood on tiptoe to kiss Lykouleon forehead.

Before he knew what he was doing, Lykouleon had pulled Rune into a kiss and hugged the elf to him. Rune laughed as Lykouleon spun him around. Lykouleon smiled as well, think to himself about how much more beautiful Rune was when he smiled than when he was crying.

Lykouleon kissed Rune's neck after both fell onto the bed. Rune moaned but Lykouleon rolled off him when he saw that Rune was shacking. "Rune, what's wrong?" Lykouleon asked in a concerned voice.

"It's nothing. I'm just not ready to-to..."

Lykouleon smiled sadly and kissed the elf's forehead. "I understand." Lykouleon pulled Rune into his arms and the two fell into a peaceful sleep

That's a little longer than I thought it would be, but it was still a little face pace, wasn't it? Oh well, I hope you like it.
