Dragon Zone: The Code Of Heart and Hate

Chapter 30: The Sound Ryu

CHAPTER 30: THE SOUND RYU

Two weeks had passed since the battle between Rokkan and Ryu was fought. Ryu lay on a bed, in an unfamiliar room. Ken sat beside him. Ryu began to stir and then, he opened his eyes. His vision was blurred for a while and then it gradually became focused.

"K-Ken?" Ryu called weakly.

"Ryu? Ryu! You're finally up!" Ken exclaimed as he held Ryu and shook his shoulders excitedly.

"Whoa Ken!" Ryu grunted in pain.

"You...you...you had me scared. You'd better not be Ryukan or I'll kill you myself!" Ken joked.

"Ryukan? What's Ryukan?" Ryu asked.

"Come on, don't play dumb. Ryukan versus Rokkaden! Don't tell me you forgot the whole scenario. We actually battled Shekan..." Ken said excitedly.

"Ryukan? Rokkaden? Shekan? What are you talking about Ken?" Ryu asked innocently.

Ken's smile dropped.

"Never mind. You wouldn't like to know anyway" Ken grumbled.

"Ken, honestly, the last thing I remember was us racing, then the Dark mongerers and a bright flash of light. Nothing else...wait a minute Ken, where the heck are we?" Ryu asked as he took notice of his surroundings for the first time.

He was in a room of many colours. Sweet music filled the air. The room seemed to be made of multiple coloured bricks.

"Tanya must be in the class of Dragon Sages" Ken said happily.

"Dragon Sages?" Ryu asked.

"We're in a hidden ryu, the Sound ryu" Ken explained.

"Wait till the others find out that you're up and you're you again!" Ken laughed.

"Yeah, can't wait" Ryu muttered in a bored tone. "And tell me how I was out again?" Ryu demanded an answer.

"That's what I'm saying. You definitely don't want to know" Ken said as he punched Ryu on the shoulder.

"Let's go meet with the others. They must be in the class of Dragon Sages" Ken said.

"Whatever" Ryu sighed.

Ryu wore his jacket and walked out of his room. Ken led the way. When they were out of the room, Ryu found himself in a magnificent corridor. Huge windows lined the outer walls. When Ryu looked out of the window, he almost fainted.

"Whoa! Amazing! I died and went to heaven didn't I? But tell me what you're doing here" Ryu joked.

"Sense of humour intact. At least you didn't lose that even when you went psycho and nearly..." Ken paused.

"Nearly what Ken?" Ryu asked.

"Never mind, follow me" Ken said as he led Ryu through the huge corridor.

"And in case you'd like to know, the dragons brought us here" Ken said.

They followed the music downstairs.

"What's this place? It's got every colour" Ryu admired.

"They call it Utopia. It's an entire kingdom. The cool thing is, it's more than just hidden. It's double hidden in five folds of genjutsu. No ninja would think of performing the release technique five times. Clever huh?" Ken explained.

"Sounds spooky to me" Ryu said.

Soon, they arrived at a beautiful ivory door.

"Okay, we're here" Ken said. "The music gets a whole lot sweeter in there. Be careful not to fall into a trance. Who'd have guessed that Tanya was a Sound type ninja? Sound doesn't sound like much of an element to me" Ken said as he opened the door.
