It didn’t take Uruha long to bring me back from my musings. He still hadn’t heard about the fight with the dragon, after all.
“We didn’t even have to search for the dragon. Later that day, the thing flew overhead. I think it somehow sensed that I’d changed part of the land it’d claimed. It saw us. How could it miss a large group of people moving thru now fertile lands? I was surprised when it landed, though. I thought for sure the thing would just blast ice at us from the air. I mean, that’s what I’d do.”
They both nodded at me. Good to know that it made sense to them, too.
“So Hyde walked to the side of our group closest to where the thing had landed. They just stared at each other for a few minutes, like they were actually talking. The dragon kept tilting its head to one side or the other, like it was trying to figure something out. Suddenly, Hyde threw his hands up in front of him, shielding himself from a blast of icy breath. Then the thing lunged at him, lashing at him with its tail. The Sorcerer dodged the blow and half-turned, calling me forward.”
Uruha’s eyes were as big as saucers. And Aoi was leaning forward, once again sitting on the edge of the bed. Yeah, riveting. Try walking up to meet a dragon, with only a sorcerer at your side.
“Hyde started giving me directions again, like he had with the field. I didn’t like closing my eyes, not seeing the creature in front of us. But Hyde just kept talking, calmly and softly, like before. Like it was no big deal. Hands still raised forming a protective shield. I found concentrating on his voice to be rather easy. He had a nice voice.”
I could feel the blush creep onto my cheeks. I could remember his voice. Almost too easily. It was rich and strong, even when he spoke softly. And it made me warm, like a fireplace during the winter. That was the best way to describe his voice. Safe and warm. Like a favorite blanket. Or the sun.
“When he told me to gather all the flame and heat around me, I did it. When he told me to fashion it in the shape of a lance, I did that too. Finally he told me to open my eyes and send the flaming lance into the chest of the beast. And it was easy to do what he said. That was the power of his voice. So I opened my eyes, not the least bit surprised to see an actual lance made only of fire in front of me. And with all my will I sent it straight thru the dragon’s breast.’
I paused for a moment. No I wasn’t a trained bard or storyteller, but I knew about building suspense. And besides, I was sure Uruha would enjoy it more this way. Letting him savor the moment. Heck, he already knew how it ended.
“The thing reared up on its hind legs, a gaping hole in its chest, spurting gouts of flame.”
“And that was it?’ Uruha almost sounded disappointed.
I chuckled
“No, that wasn’t it. The thing thrashed around like crazy before it finally died. Hyde staying out of range, still muttering what I guess were spells of some kind. The thing finally stopped moving and started to smolder. It sizzled and fizzled for a while, before there was nothing left but a charred shell. And the soldiers made short work of that. They cut and hacked it into small chunks. I think they used it to feed all those left homeless by the dragons rampage.”
Gross sounding, I know. But I guess when you’re hungry you’ll eat anything.
“All I could do was stay where I was, in the grass. Yeah, at some point I had fallen to my knees. I guess calling and controlling that much fire had drained a lot of my strength. Keeping his word, Yukihiro came forward and helped me to one of the now empty wagons. Oh, did I mention that most of the wagons were carrying firewood? No? Well, I didn’t know until then either. While Hyde was telling me what I needed to do, the soldiers had been building fires. Lots of large fires. So when I had been pulling all the heat and flames, that’s what I had used. Without even knowing I was doing it. Clever, no?”
Aoi was grinning at Uruha, who looked about to pout. OK, maybe he was pouting. I couldn’t help but laugh. He was just too cute.
“What’s wrong? Not exciting enough for you?”
“Well, no. It was exciting, all right. But what were the mercenaries for? It sounds like you and the Sorcerer could’ve done it alone.”
“Maybe, but where would I have gotten enough fire to kill the dragon? And besides, they stayed and helped the people rebuild.”
Aoi was straight-out laughing now.
“Uruha, sometimes you’re such a kid.”
“What does that make you, then? Pervert.”
Uh-oh. Here they go again. I started to get up.
“You don’t have to leave. You’re more than welcome to stay.”
I turned to Aoi in surprise.
“Wouldn’t that make me a pervert too? I mean watching the two of you?”
“Who said all you’d be doing was watching?”
It was Uruha’s turn to surprise me.
I looked back and forth between the two of them. Were they kidding? It was hard to tell. I certainly didn’t feel like I’d known them long enough to tell for sure.
Aoi stood up and walked over to me.
“We like you. And this could be a long trip.”
“We don’t want you to feel left out.” Uruha said from the other side.
OK, so maybe they weren’t kidding. I liked them too. Probably more than it was healthy for me too. And that’s why I was still standing there, looking at them. Instead of bolting from their room into the supposed safety of my own. But what exactly were they offering?
What would it hurt to find out? So I stayed. And I did a lot more than watch, too.

Note: >_< Yeah, another missing Smut Scene. But I AM trying to write it.
I've got the other one done already...but this is a 3some...*nervous*...and it was hard enough writing manXman sex for the first time. How come some of you make it seem so easy? *pokes you*
I dunno...should I put the Smut Scenes in the story? Or as little side bits?
I mean for the next story...the one after this is finished. Cuz it IS all done. Just need to remember to POST the chappies.
*rubs forehead* My headache's back....
