Picture is of Kouha/Leraje

"I see you're still the same. Blunt and rude." Baal's voice stated in the young dragon's head. Leraje snorts, leaning forward a bit because of the strain on his mind. Mei walks forward and takes the other in his arms and walks him over to the bed. He lies the other down and sits on the side of the bed, stroking Leraje's cheek. Leraje leans into it and nuzzles the other's hand.

"And I see that you're still the old grandpa we know and love." He says fighting the throbbing pain in his head. A chuckle was his response.

"I can feel you're straining so I'll cut this short. We'll talk when the king arrives tomorrow. That way you won't have to use too much energy."

"Yeah, yeah..." He mumbled his response and felt the strain lift, however his head still hurt. He turns toward Mei and reaches toward him. "Sleep with me~." He whines. Mei nods and goes to the door to make sure it's locked before returning back to bed. He lies next to Leraje and the other curls up beside him.

"Dantalion~." The silky voice calls for me. I turn my head to the side to look at my mate who was in bed with me. He was naked, the way I preferred him the most. His hair was a mess and layed out everywhere, mine was probably the same.

"Yes?" I ask still half sleep. He lets out a chuckle and turns toward me. He scouts closer to me and I wrap am arm around his waist while he runs his fingers through my wild hair.

"You still haven't given me a name yet." He whispers in my ear and I shiver. That's right, he gave me a name for the next life but I didn't give him one yet. I pull him on top of me and lay on my back with him straddling me. I close my eyes as he plays with the horns on my head. I rub my hands up his legs and open my eyes.

"Kouha." I whisper and he pauses before leaning down and giving me a kiss. "I think it'll suit me well."

~~~~~

My eyes open and I feel Leraje asleep on my chest. I shift a bit before running my fingers through his hair. I find it kind of odd how my memories weren't just coming to me like they did for him. It kind of made me feel disappointed and gave me a longing feeling as well. Leraje shifts on tops of me and begins to mutter slightly. I let out a chuckle and look through the window. It was early morning and the sun was starting to rise.

I wonders if the king of the foreign country we were going to see was really what Leraje described. If he was what he says then that would mean he was very powerful. Leraje shifts again before sitting up. He blinks a few times and rubs his eyes and lets out a yawn. I find it cute. "Morning Mei~." He greets me and gives me a kiss on the cheek. I feel my cheeks grow hot and I turn to look away. "M-Morning. I see you're well ..." After having such an intimate dream about him I started to feel a bit odd. He let's out a giggle and rolls off me, flopping on the other side of the bed.

I sit up and stretch. I look at him and he tilts his head to the side. I lay my hand on his head and say, "Kouha."

He blinks, one, twice, then jumps on me while letting out a laugh. "Thank you Mei~!" He says happily. I sigh and sit up again. He tugs the sleeve of my robe. "C'mon, time to clean!"

After cleaning up some Kouha lays on my bed with Anubis. I was trying to figure out the characters of the book Kuei gave to me. It was really old and the pages were faded here and there. Some of them I could read, just barely and I could see little scribbles here and there, as if someone wrote little side notes in here. Maybe Kuei did, but seeing how old the book was maybe someone did it before her.

Kouha peeks over my shoulder, I can feel his breath on my neck and it made me shiver a bit. I hear him chuckle before he reached over and pointed to the picture on the page. "That's old man Baal!" He says happily. " I doubt you remember him and all, but he was nice. He was a thunder dragon, a strong one too." He says and I nod. He was very different from Leraje. He didn't have wings, he had a long tail and was decorated in blur or green like scales. I couldn't tell the color since it was faded.

There's a knock on the door and it slide open to reveal Kuei. She pokes her head in the door and smiles when Anubis runs over to her. She pets his head and looks at us. "He's about to arrive, we need to present ourselves and greet him." She says. Kouha huffs from behind me before making his way back to the bed and flopping on it. I guess it was kind of frustrating that I had to leave and he had to stay with Anubis. I let out a sigh and nod toward my older sister. She leaves after saying by to the both of us.

I stand up and look toward him. "Wanna pick out my clothes?" I ask since I was only in a simple robe. He perks up and grins. I didn't know if I should be afraid on happy....

"N-No!!" I say and back away from whatever the hell he just picked out for me to wear, I didn't even know where the hell he got it! I just know I wasn't going to wear it.

"But Mei~" he whines cutely and holds the clothing to his chest. I shake my head. It was just so bright and feminine!!

He pouts before walking back over to my closet. I hear him him as he brings out the next article of clothing. "Wear this one then, it makes you look sexy!" He says holding it up. I recognized it as a hand me down from my older brother Kouen. Most of his robes showed his chest and me and him didn't really have a similar build. He was more muscular than I.

Instead of shying away I take it and start to undress. He smile happily and helps me put it on.

"It shouldn't take long." I tell him and he nods. "I'll tell you everything when I get back."

~~~~~

Once there we greeted the king at the gates of the palace. I honestly didn't know what to expect. I just imagined a regular man and that's what he looked like. He had gold eyes and long purple hair. One thing that did stand out was the air around him. It was similar to Kouha's.

We each bow and he and his two generals return the gesture. Our mother is in front of us talking to him. En looks at me from the corner of his eye. "I didn't think you'd actually wear that." He mumbles, turning his gaze forward.

I gulp and feel my face heat up a bit. "Last minute thing..." I muttered and I swore I saw the corner of his mouth twitch up.
