The Crystal Dragon (AkaNoYona fanfic)

Chapter 16

Then, after a few moments, Yuriko realise that there's one guy who creeps behind Hak, then, as she ran to him, an arrow hit the hand of the man, making Yuriko immediately looks back and saw Yona looks happy while Yoon grins.

Yuriko wants to shake her head in the princess stubborness, but she's able to hit him, so at the same time, she felt proud. Just then, Yuriko saw a man creep behind Yoon and Yona, as he raise his arm to grab Yona, Yuriko throw a dagger at his hand, which stab his hand right in the middle, making him immediately pull the dagger out and clutch his left hand in pain, then she picks up a rock from the ground, and as Hak and Kija run to there, she throw the rock at his head, Kija slash him with his claw and Hak hit him with the lower part of his Hsu Quandao. Yuriko then calmly walks to them after looks around and make sure that all the bandits have been knocked out.

"Himesama, you okay?"
"Princess, are you alright?" Both Kija and Hak immediately get to the princess aid.
"Thank you." And Yoon deadpanned, "What a pain, you guys don't have to come all the way over here."

"Ojousama, Yoon-sama are you two alright?" Yuriko then ask them when she arrived, "Mhm! Thank you, Nee-sama." Yona nods her head with a smile.

"Oh? Is it... Already finished..? How many did you defeat?" Kija ask Hak with a smirk.
"Huh? I don't remember." Hak answers him.

"I got 28." Kija grins at him.
"Then I got 40." Hak simply add more numbers.
"You liar! You just said you could not remember, did you not?! There were not that many people in the first-" Then Kija stumbled to the front, "-place..."

"Kija?!" Yona shout in concern, as Yuriko glance at him from behind Yona and see his right hand.

"... Are you alright, Kija..?" (Yuriko)
"... Yes. I acted... A little too violently. I was supposed to display... A more refined battle..." He answer solemnly.

"No." Hak then cut him off, making Yuriko turn her head to her left, and looks at him, "I thought you did good. That bloody way the white dragon deity fights... Is so exhilarating. Except Yuriko, there was never someone who came at me seriously during the time I was at the castle." Hak said as he broke down in sweats.

"Let's have a bout one more..." He raise his index finger, makes number one sign with it, "Time..." he then collapse to the front as he said this, luckily Yuriko's there to catch him before he falls down.

"Hak!" Yona shout in surprise.
"Did he die?" Kija ask.
"He's not dead!" Yona slaps his head.
"........... As what I said... Reckless..." Yuriko sighed as she opens his robe.

"Arrgh, idiot! His wounds are reopening! His wounds haven't actually healed. He acts indifferent, but he was pretty roughened up" Yoon's complaining.

"Is he a monster?" Kija gasp.
"I don't think I want to hear that from you." Yoon said, before he looks at Yuriko. "...."
"...." He and Yuriko just stare at each other in silence, before Yoon's eyebrows twitch in annoyance.

"You too! You says that he's reckless, but your wounds also reopens isn't it?!" He madly shouts at her.

".... I'm sorry." Yuriko looks at her side nervously.
"Your injuries are worse than him in the first place, just how can you still stand right now." He keeps grumbling and complaining as he give her a new roll of bandage and told her to change it into the new ones.

"WORSE THAN HIM?!" Kija shouts in surprise, then gape at Yuriko.
"You need treatment! Quickly!" He's flailing his arms around without know what to do.
"Yeah, Nee-sama, You need to get treated immediately!!" Yona also flailing her arms around, like she's copying Kija.

"Calm down, Ojousama, Kija... I'm alright.. It's just my wounds reopened... It's not a big deal." She tries to assure them, but her words only makes Yoon snaps at her.
