Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Compendium

Dragon Blood is Boiling...(What happened with our Ichigo Kurosawa?)

"BARRIER! GAUAAGHAHAAH!!!!" His weak barrier broke apart, as my hand simply smashed him into the ground. Not enough to kill...too bad. The other mages scrambled, as I simply laughed inside. They had no way to beat me without a spell to bind the Balmung part of me. No wonder they are desperate. No wonder why they're so feeble.

"....P-Pyro Shot!!" Really? Fighting fire with fire never works in the literal sense, dumbasses. I tanked it, more annoyed than hurt. With a flick of my clawed finger, he was sent flying, debris flying everywhere. So pathetic they are...

Those three mages were too easy. I need a real challenge. No one this weak and foolish could dare...what am I saying? I sound like a freaking Demon God. Oh...oh...this was how it felt like. M-Maybe I went a little overboard-

"Moon Blast!!" Okay, nevermind...they're dead meat! All of them!

Before I could land a finishing blow, having tossed them in an easy to burn pile, two dragons stood in my way. I knew them, Elma, and Iruru. Hm...I get Elma stopping me, but Iruru? She'd be ecstatic for me to kill human beings, especially mages. What's her malfunction today? Besides, well, psychosis.

"ICHIGO!! PLEASE CALM YOURSELF! This isn't you!" The last part was rather quiet, Elma almost near to tears.

"AS MUCH I AM EXCITED THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO KILL HUMAN BEINGS, YOU AREN'T HIM!!" Iruru shouted to me, as I started to blink a bit. How the hell did I get to this point? Shouldn't I be in my house, just watching insanity...not being insanity.

Looking around to the scorched ruins of our battlefield, the mages barely hanging on by a thread...and myself, being compelled to finish them off. But that was the Balmung part speaking, right? The aggression, the immense egotism, and the God complex. All of that was basically that dragon. I am not that dragon. I am simply half of one; the human half being my most important quality.

"...Sorry...I Uh, got carried away...just let me...." Concentrating, I managed to shrink to normal, human size. My scar generally glowed, but otherwise faded slightly. However, those mages were simply staring at me. Those dudes were annoying, and I wanted to kill them. But, that meant I was doing thing's the dragon way, and the dragon way is terrible.

Slightly scared, I glared them down, as my voice, and my teeth morphed towards a monstrous frame.

"Get out of here," A booming voice, and in the literal sense I guess, dawned upon them. They stood before us, the older guy I met before giving me a look. A look of desperation, with a subtle hint of hatred. Perhaps he still thought I was Balmung.

"You....you think this changes anything?! There'll be other dragons, and they'll love to get their claws on your power...the fact you haven't been abducted is a miracle!" That old guy warned me. I scoffed at that. Sure, other dragons.

Wait...other dragons? How? Oh god...great, now I am a target. This feels like the One Ring being found by multiple factions. Only problem is, this is technically apart of me, and not just an accessory.

Soon, before I could ask anymore questions, they vanished in defeat. Funny. This would be the part where I celebrate but...it just feels...wrong.

Later...

"Sounds awful," Kobayashi sipped a bit of tea, again being a deadpanned body in the room.

"Yeah, really reassuring," I grunted, looking towards the others. We were currently in my house, discussing my transformation, those mages, and the warning. Especially the warning.

"Well, it could be worse," The bustier MILF Dragon added.

"How?" I looked at Lucoa as she pantomimed an answer that would never come; she had nothing to offer, great. For somebody claiming to be an Aztec God, you sure are useless.

Instead, the answer came from Tohru, a real surprise.

"You could be at my old home. Balmung's soul is a coveted power that many of them would kill for," Tohru sounded too happy with that. But then again, this girl is trying to get with a woman that isn't even remotely homosexual. Maybe...why am I thinking about that of all things? "Well, they killed for less, but...y'know! Enough to kill twice!"

"Thrice," Fafnir corrected, as he adjusted his glasses. "Beyond that, it is clear you can assume Balmung's true form. We could all feel it,"

"Pretty intensely," Lucoa chuckled. "So did Shota, but that's because he is magically inclined,"

Hearing this didn't help me in the slightest. All I am being told is that...I'm screwed. The fate of the world is based on how crazy I get, but the thing is, something about how it happened, my form...it felt odd. Not like a kill crazy psycho, but there was a meaning behind that carnage.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this, Ichigo...I just wonder...are you okay?" Miss Hasashi rubbed my back in comfort. In my defense, I am not angry about this, it's a superpower. But okay? No...I'm unsure about it. All of it.

I wish I could give myself some hope. Something to say, it'll be fine. Peachy. Just nothing though...sucks.

Iruru managed to get me out of my mind, by turning my face towards her own.

"You ARE better than anything I have seen. Lesser humans would have been lost to power, but you, you had some control. Do not forget that, milord!" Iruru exclaimed towards me, as I pondered her words. This was rather...reassuring in a sense.

"Yeah. The only reason you transformed was...emotions, right?" Elma told me, as I started to piece together the events in a different light.

I only got that way because I felt angry that my friends were being targeted. I felt as though what I was trying to do to reconnect was being ignored. All of it...I wanted to kill them all. For them.

"...I suggest anger management classes. At least for that..." Kobayashi took another sip, before motioning towards Tohru; they were leaving. "Hey, Ichigo. Don't worry about it too much. I haven't, and you already know the people I deal with on a daily basis,"

"Hehe, Yeah that's true," I stared at Tohru for a moment.

"Eh-" She almost wised up, but Kobayashi was already leaving. "Wait for me Kobayashi~"

Heh. Effing yandere lesbians.

Actually...I don't think I am too far off from a yandere huh? Damn Balmung, are you sure that this power is purely for destruction, or for dumbasses like me who care way too much for other people....

Shit...
