The Mistress of Dragons by Ravena

Chapter 1~The Unknown Visitor

The sky was a cloudless blue, no sign of rain. I sat on a rock looking at my refection in the water. Dragons were in every direction, at the moment we were in a peaceful position. No one knew where we were and no one was even in sight of this place. If anyone did we would have to move again so those who believe the rumors about us and decide to kill dragons on sight, this frustrated me to no end. They flew and played simple games, tag and; Hid and seek which they were too good at playing if you ask me. Yes, this is paradise for us.

One of the dragons came up to me and put its head in my lap to get my attention on it, I smiled. Them it tugged on my sleeve with its mouth so I got up. I unfolded my light purple and black wings and took off after her. She led me to an unconscious demon; he wore a white kimono with an indigo crescent moon on his forehead. Silver locks that was about to his knees and a furry thing wrapped around his right arm.

I knelt at his side the dragon growling at him, so I put my hand on its head. I soon made my decision; I put him on the dragon's back with much to its dismay. Then got on myself and patted her broad neck.

"Take me home, my friend and be quick about it." I told her and the wind swirled around her as it went under her wings. Then she ran at the cliff and jumped into the air.

We flew over a land of beauty, the forest surrounding the northern mountains where my dragons live and enjoy life. When we arrived at my little wood cottage and I picked him up and carried him inside. I laid him on my bed and got the things I would need to tend his wounds. His whole body was covered in his and other demon's blood.

I removed his torn attire and whipped the blood away. I them proceed to wrap his chest, knee, and right arm in cloth. I stepped away from him and went to make lunch. I walked outside and make a quick kill of a deer. Then gathered the herds needed to speed up the healing process. When I walked in to my hut, I heard him move and went back to his side.

"So your awake I see, how are you feeling?" I said. He shrugged and looked around my little home. "Who are you? I'm Kagome the mistress of dragons." I told him and smiled to put him at ease. His aura told me he was on edge and wanted to get away but his injuries were severe.

"Lord Sesshoumaru of the West. Where is this place?" He asked, I sat at his side looking over his injuries.

"We're south of the north mountain were my friends are now. If I'd brought you there you would have been in worse condition then now." The smell of blood turns their instincts on. He nodded his head then tried to sit up but I pushed him lightly back down. "Rest Sesshoumaru."

I walked over to the fire and made to bowls of soup; one had the healing herds that he needed and the other didn’t. Other than that they were the same containing deer meat and the vegetables I kept in my home at all times. I looked over at his form and smiled at him. I turned back to the soup and continued to steer the soup. When the soup was done, I brought it over to him and started to feed him.

He lay back against the function as he continued to look me over. "What are you exactly?" He asked me.

"I'm a half-dragon, my mother was a rare dragon that could take human form and my father was human. At first the dragon’s listen to me is because of my mother's blood." I said then shrugged. "But every one of they fell in love with me soon after my mother brought me here to live, she died soon after I found out about what I had to do when I was old enough to. After that I took up her responsibility with the dragon’s help." He didn't try and concert me or take pity on me so I sent him a dazzling smile that turned anyone, man or beast, into putty in my hands.

Sesshomaru’s view

I stared at the women Kagome; she had long black hair that reached her waist. Her eyes a light shade of purple and always had a smile on her face. She had a dragon's tail and wings the same color as her eyes. She projected an aura that told you if you challenged her you would die but if you listen she was a good ally. I jumped at her voice.

"Like what you see, Sesshoumaru? I know that I look different but it's rude to stare at people." She said, I growled at her question and she laughed which sounded like bells. "Then stop staring at me you're scaring me and I don't squirm easy, friend." She continued to keel by my side and went back to smiling down at me. She could be a threat but she's so kind I don't think she could hurt someone badly without feeling bad about it.

I rolled my eyes at her antics but inside it was far too amusing, a dragon who didn't like killing. That is what dragons were known for their ability to kill without a second thought. She must have a plan to kill me when I am a worthy challenge for her. She looked at me with good humor and a sheepish smile on her face. Then she laughed at what I am not sure.

"Sesshoumaru I promise that no harm will come to you while you're in my care, upon my honor as a fighter and dragon." She said as if she had read my mind. "We dragons are not as bad as many believe they just don't get us. There as many different personalities as demons do."

"How do I know you'll keep your word? You can lie…" She interrupted me.

"I make you a blood promise." She pulled out a knife and cut her palm and clenched her hand in a fist. "I promise you will return to your lands in one piece even if it kills me." She smiled then licked her bleeding palm. She poured herself a bowl of soup and ate. "May I lie down beside you Sesshoumaru, I only have one blanket." She stated with a small smile. When I didn't answer she left the hut and went to who knows where.

 

Back to Kagome’s view

I walked back to my dragons and smiled they were all lying down to sleep. They sent coos my way to say good night and that they loved me. I was content with my life and he didn't know me or my dragons that will be something I had to change, when he could walk here with me. I'll show him the truth about my people and went to lie beside my best friend to sleep. She folding her wings hiding me from sight.
