Chapter 2: electric dragonling
Currently we see Ben having a relaxing afternoon at home, his mother Kobayashi and new roommate/dragon maid Tohru has to go out for groceries... as it turns out a dragon's idea of cooking is burning all the ingredients.
"This is gonna be nice" he said sliding down to lay on the couch, that was until he hear the door bell. "Huh that's weird, don't think mom said anything about having company over" he groaned getting up.
"And I'm pretty sure I didn't invite Vivi, Elma or Kaoru over" he added, but he was met with a bit of a surprise. At the door... was a small girl with lavender colored hair and blue eyes. But she had some, additions that were odd to say the least but were distinctly familiar.
Take for example the fact that she had horns on her head along with the tail sticking out from behind her. Kinda like a certain dragon maid who had just arrived 'another dragon?' He thought.
He then allowed the child in, hoping she was a friend rather than foe, especially since he'd rather not have the front door burned down. If she was a dragon that was likely to happen if he denied her.
'So... I let a dragon girl into my house' he thought, 'I hope she's Tohru's friend, of an enemy that's worse' he added. He figured it'd be a good idea to make some conversation "Uh day what's your name?" He asked. All she did was grunt a little "you break up with lady tohru" the girl added.
"Huh?" Ben was beyond confused "what?" He replied "I know you seduced her with the power you have Mr. All powerful slayer of Daigon" the girl added. 'Yup definitely a dragon' Ben thought, "sorry but you've been mistaken, I only know Tohru because she's smitten with my adopted mother" Ben explained but the child wouldn't have it.
"Break up with her" she yelled trying to smack her with her tiny hands "ahh! Too cute!" He cried as he couldn't fight back the laughs he was getting from her punches. "Hey Ben we're home" Miss Kobayashi said "yes we are!" Tohru added then the two spotted Ben and the girl.
There was an awkward silence until a dark aura surrounded the parental that scared Ben to no end. "Ben what is this girl doing here? So help me if your brought her in for the reason I think you did?" She asked in a semi demonic voice. Tohru then took notice of the child next to the cowering super hero.
"Lady Tohru" She chirped as the dragon maid gasped in recognition, that was enough to calm Kobayashi down and to relieve Ben. Later said maid introduced the younger dragon, "Ben, Miss Kobayashi this girl is Kanna Kamui she is an old acquaintance of mine" Tohru said.
"Should've figures as much" the older human replied, "Lady tohru completely disappeared so I came to find her" Kanna explained. "Completely disappeared?" Ben inquired "Tohru you should communicate with your friends better than that" Kobayashi stated.
"I know" Tohru groaned, "I'm surprised you found this place Kanna" she added. "I saw you breath fire on those clouds the other day and I can sense your magic" the younger dragon explained. "Right" "almost like you shouldn't have done that."
"In addition I also sensed the wafting power of the monster Daigon, it was faint but I recognized it" Kanna stated. "Even after how many years that stank still hasn't washed off" Ben complained trying to get scrub his arm with sand paper. "Why are you wearing such an odd outfit? I need you Lady Tohru, please come back with me" Kanna said hoping the older dragon would agree.
"I'm sorry but I can't go home" Tohru had asserted which shocked Kanna, "but why?" She asked. "Because I'm in love with Miss Kobayashi!" The dragon maid squealed, "please be serious", "so the slayer of Daigon was right!" Kanna declared.
"Huh?!" The two yelped in confusion "I saw you two on you're date at the bazaar, and thanks to the slayer saying he wasn't the one Lady Tohru was smitten with it has to be you" Kanna went on. "I'm sorry what?" Kobayashi inquired not sure what she was going on about.
Tohru was seen bashfully laugh and blushing "this ain't exactly something to be bashful about" Ben retorted. "You should know though I may not be as strong as the slayer of Daigon I will kill you" The chino dragon said darkly which scared Ben's adopted parental. "Over my dead body" he said blocking her "NOW DIE!"
She charged... but the only thing she did was repeatedly hit him with her tiny fists again. And each time she did it the dragon seemed to be exhausted, "Kanna what happened to you?" Tohru asked concerned. "You're practically powerless", "you're power is special here Lady Tohru, the mana purity is too low for me" Kanna replied.
Kobayashi then spoke up "so Kanna does that mean, you're stuck here?" She asked. And when the dragon turned to her she flinched and looked away, "no, that's not true shut up" she replied. "Okay then let me ask you this do you have any place to stay?"
At this point the parental had the most scariest look you could possibly imagine. "Tohru look me in the eye and answer for her" Miss Kobayashi said "I can't Miss Kobayashi your dead fish eyes scare me" the dragon replied.
"And forget me if you don't think that stare has any affect on me why do you think I own up quickly?" Ben asked. "Kanna please tell us what you're planning, but if you're after Miss Kobayashi you better give that up because..." "Tohru shut up for a second" Said office lady said.
"Well actually..." Kanna sniffled when she owned up as to why she was here, "you were exiled for a prank?" Ben asked surprised. A young child separated from her parents is nothing to sneeze at, dragon or not.
"Kanna was always one for practical jokes" Torhu commented, "so long story short, it's like this" Kobayashi describing a child trying to get their parents to open a locked door after they did something bad. "Yeah kinda, they probably want her to reflect on her actions" the older dragon said. "It'd be useless for me to send her back", Kanna was visibly upset.
After a small amount of time the eldest human spoke up "Hey Kanna, want to stay here?" She asked. The younger dragon gasped, "Hey why'd it take you a longer time to decide to let me stay huh?" Tohru asked offended. "Having adopted Ben I thought was enough, then you came by and I took it under consideration now if you have two interesting people living with you ya may as well have three" Miss Kobayashi explained while Ben nervously chuckled.
"I don't trust you humans though, you must be plotting something" Kanna shot back. "You just wanna use me!" She was then interrupted by a calming hand petting the top of her head.
It had actually been Ben, "Kanna I understand, after all I'm not from this world either. When I first got here I didn't know what to think, then out of the blue mom over there had found me" Ben told her. This had seemed to catch the dragon's interest, "She took me home and cared for me, fed me and gave me a new family" he said.
"I know some humans may seem bad, but that doesn't mean all of them are" he said, his parental then spoke up while letting the Youngster's Head. "I know it's hard to live in a new world, having to earn someone's trust and all. But I'm not trying to earn your trust or friendship Kanna" she said.
"You can stay here", the little thing wasn't able to hold back her tears of gratitude and agreed. Ben couldn't help but admit to how cute the young dragon looked. But somehow he knew, that things were about to get cramped in this little apartment.
The next day Kanna had just said she wanted to play "but the game" Kobayashi pointed out. "Yeah I'm bored wit that already" the dragon said, "Kanna is young and full of energy, any kid would want to go outside and blow off some steam once in a while" Ben had commented. "Kanna would you like to go play outside with me today?" Tohru asked.
The little girl lit up and eagerly exclaimed a yes in response, "would you like to join us Miss Kobayashi? Oh yes please do! You to Ben" Tohru said. "Yeah I don't exercise" "I can go for a round" Ben said then the maid dragged them o a random field. "Where is this place?" He asked, "don't know I just landed in the first empty field that seemed pleasant" she answered.
The elder human then laid down on the ground saying whale was going to sleep off her deathma. "Might as well do some laps in the sky" Ben declared stretching and after turning into Omni and growing Astrodactyl's wings.
"Fly time" He squawked before taking off, only for the place to look like an apocalypse hit it. Looking back he saw the two dragons fighting each other flying back down he turned his arms into Cthugax's tentacles and separated them. "Hey whats going on?!" He demanded, and was surprised to see his mother still fast asleep during that battle.
"What do you mean? We were only rough housing" Tohru said "you nearly torched the entire field I'm surprised mom is still asleep!" Ben yelled pointing to said woman who had indeed been snoring away. "If you're going to play like that at least do it at human levels" Ben stressed, "what? But we were, all humans can do that where we're from" Tohru said.
"Yeah well where I originated there were a short few who could and where Mom lives little to none" Ben replied. "Hmm makes sense" Tohru said, "so how would you play at a human level?" Tohru asked.
"Maybe not human levels, but alien levels may seem at your level" Omni said, then had faced the two in one direction. "Watch me now" he said before stomping the ground making several crystal targets fly into the air.
"And FIRE!" He yelled shooting fire at each target, the other two joined in and soon the day ended with several diamond head shard littering the field and the group playing word chain when Miss Kobayashi woke up.
The next day Ben and his mother were about to head off to work and school, "where are you going to Miss Kobayashi?" Kanna asked. "Oh to work" he woman answered "and I have to head to school" Ben added.
"Can I come?" The electric dragon asked, Yeah Ben was confused as to why Kanna had energy to play around yesterday and he asked her. Turns out her power source is electricity and she absorbed some from the power outlet.
"Sorry but my school has been labeled a not so safe one due to a certain student" Ben answered "besides Kanna you have things to do with me today." Tohru said. "What things?" Kobayashi asked, "Kanna hasn't been in this world for very long so I thought it'd be good for me to teach her the basics" Tohru explained.
"Really?" Ben inquired when he felt the younger dragon cling to him "no way!! I wanna go with Miss Kobayashi and Ben" she whined. "This came out of no where" "first she wanted to kill us and now she doesn't want us to leave?" "If you keep being selfish I'll break you".
Later on Ben had finally gotten to school "so Ben I heard your mom is watching over another relative" Vivi said. "Yup a little girl" he answered holding a picture of Kanna which she squealed at "OMG THAT IS SOO CUTE!!!"
"Tribal Gothic Lolita?" Mizuki asked noticing Kanna'd attire, "I think that's it" Ben replied. He then noticed Elma's head in her bag "Elma you're not looking in your bag for snacks again are yoI?" He asked, the girl flinched and shot back up "in maybe" she said nervously. "You remember what happened when the teacher caught you last time right?" Ben asked as she sank down into her chair.
"Please don't remind me" she groaned before getting a good glance at Kanna's photo Ben had. 'That's weird, that girl looks oddly familiar, oh well' she thought.
