The Dragon Empress (Un-edited ver)

Part 11

Ryuga's POV

I had Madeline in my arms, calming her down, the dream that she had was terrifying, and it was similar to the one that I had three months ago. The poor thing, I am glad she can come to me, I was playing back the moments from today when she knocked at my door, the knock was not loud, and if I was asleep I would not be able to hear it, I think that was her point. The promise that I made to her was completely true, I loved her and I did not want her to be scared, or in pain. She was everything to me. I felt her tears fall onto my lap, "Ryuga... thank you..." Madeline sobbed, I ran my fingers through her hair, "Madeline, I am here for you, I love you." I kissed her lips, her soft, and heart akeing lips. It pained me to see her this way, crying, afraid and in pain. She was terrified that someone was going to kill her. Nobody was going to hurt her, I would make sure of that. I embraced her tighter, I felt her arms twist around me, and hug me, as tight as she could, "I-I want to stay here Ryuga, in-in your arms and not leave, you-you make me feel loved, and you care." she said through tears , she was shaking, "I am here, I will not leave you, I promise." I kissed her again, and again, I could not and would not stop until I knew she was ok, if nightmares kept her in pain then I would be there to make sure that if she had them I would always be there for her. After a while we sat in silence, I could tell she was trying her best to stay awake, "Ryuga, I don't want to fall asleep, but I am so tired..." she mumbled tiredly, "Madi, I need you to sleep, I will keep you in my arms so if have any nightmares I will be here." I was also tired, and I needed sleep, I hoped my first battle was not a long one tomorrow, "Ok," she yawned and buried her head into my chest, and hopefully fell asleep. I gave her one more kiss on the head, closed my eyes, and rested my chin of her head. I looked down after a few minutes, and she was asleep, she was so peaceful, I wanted the peace of sleep also, so I closed my eyes, laid down, and fell asleep.

"MASTER RYUGA!" I woke to hear Merci call, "Darn it Merci, Madeline is sleeping!" I whispered/yelled, "Sorry Master, but it is 10:00, Battle bladers starts at noon." it whispered back. "Ok, thank you for that known information." I growled, sat up, and saw Madeline's eyes flutter open, "Good morning, my beautiful dragon empress," I greeted her with a smile. She returned the smile, "Good morning, my dragon emperor," she hugged me, "are you ready for today?" "I am, thank you for asking." I hugged her back, got up and got dressed. She went also to get dressed. After about ten minutes, she came in wearing a blue shirt and white shorts, she also wore the dragon necklace that I gave her. "You look pretty," I commented, she blushed, "thank you." "Ryuga, I am sorry..." she suddenly blurted out. "Why?" "For several things, I am sorry for last night, I hate coming and interrupting you, and I am sorry because I will not see your first two battles, but I promise that I will see the last two." her face was sad, "Madeline, it's ok, you will see me win the battle bladers, and claim 'best blader in the country.'" she smiled. "I am sorry, I really wanted to see them, but I Doji does not want me too, he wants me to train." she said annoyed, "Well screw Doji." I said with a smirk, "but you still need to train, and I want you to show me how you are coming along today, after battle bladers, ok?" I told her, she nodded.

I walked out to my first battle, I was tired from last night, it was a blue haired girl named Hikaru, I kicked her butt so fast, and wrecked the stadium. The second battle wasn't so easy, I was battling Tsubasa, but I still won and took his power and wrecked the stadium. In between battles I got rid of Doji, I am happy that I did, and so is Madeline.

I wished Madeline was here to see it, the next battle was against Kyoya, I would fight for Madeline, for her love I saw her in the stands, she waved, and I winked back, I was prepared for this battle. "So Kyoya are you ready to fight?" I asked with a smirk, "If I win I want Madeline!" he practically screamed at me, "I don't know what you did to her, but I promise I will win her do you understand?!" he just made me smirk more, "really, you think you can win?! Ha! Right, well let's fight." (I don't want to type this, you know what happened.) When I got home, I collapsed on the bed, L-Dago I think has taken me over, this dark power has now possessed me, "Ryuga! Open up! We need to talk!" It was Madeline, "here it goes," I said to myself. I opened the door. Madeline was there, looking angry and sad, "Ryuga, are you ok?" she asked, I nodded, "Then what the heck was that?!" She yelled at me, "what wounds?! What happened?! Tell me! Ryuga!" she had tears in her eyes, "Well... I think the dark power has possessed me, I did not do that on my own, I would never." I tried to hug her, but she pushed me away, and looked at me with sad eyes. "Ryuga i am worried, that power looked like it was hurting you." "It was." she sighed, "Darn it!" she yelled hugging me, "I swear Ryuga, I hate that it hurts!" she was a mix of anger, sadness and worry.
