24: Monstrous Misunderstanding

A/N: Hey Lovely People! Kenar is back with an update. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to write Christmas fic or make Christmas art so take this as a present okay? Merry Christmas!! [If you don't celebrate it - which I actually don't really either - just accept this present XD] Again, this chapter is over 3K words. I wanted to make it longer but then it wouldn't end in a cliffhanger *evil grin*. Okay, Enjoy!!!

-Silica, District One, Before the announcement-

"Ha... Ha-cough cough! cough!"

Riku curled up on the floor, struggling to get air into his lungs. His asthma was giving him hell. To his surprise, there were no symptoms of Magic Exhaustion. He did not feel his magic rebelling and trying to take over his body. Good. He was having enough trouble as is.

"Wahhh! Rikkun's medicine." Tamaki used his dragon claws for ripping Riku's blazer and any clothes underneath apart in an attempt to find the medicine in a panic. Once he found it, Tamaki transformed into a human, helped Riku sit up and made the boy inhale the handmade medicine through his mouth.

Good thing Riku's attack calmed down within 5 minutes. The problem was... his clothes were ripped and he was sitting there shirtless. "Tamaki, you do realise white magic cannot mend clothes, right?"

"I was scared, okay?!? You looked like you were dying." Human-forme Tamaki argued. "I've seen Mikki help you with your attacks, but he's never told me where you keep your medicine." He was clearly pouting. Left without a choice, Tamaki transformed into a baby dragon and pulled a patch of fluffy white fur from his body. "Wah?! What are you doing?" Riku was surprised by Tamaki's action.

"Doooooon't worry~ My fur grows back fast, see?" Tamaki pointed to that spot he just picked from. The bald patch was no longer there. "Here, use my fur to make your clothes."

"And how am I supposed to-" Riku took hold of the fur. He was about to ask for instructions when there was a 'poof' sound. The smoke completely covered the fur. When it disappeared, Riku's clothes that he had just lost were in his hands. "Unbelievable." They were brand new and sparkling clean.

Tamaki transformed back into a human and smiled proudly. "See? Do you understand now, Rikkun?" Tamaki continued when Riku tilted his head in confusion. "Imma dragon. Dragons are created by Sou-chan to help look after human worlds, so I possess a power similar to him - the power of creation."

"The power of...creation?" Riku finished buttoning his glittering and stunning red and gold blazer and stood up.

"Yeah." Tamaki nodded happily. The dragon gave the lord a friendly push on the shoulder, which turned out to be so forceful it made Riku stumble. "You have that power too. Well, you don't, but it helps with your magic. Anyway, hey, Rikkun is a half-dragon!"

Riku has never seen such a wide and genuine smile on Tamaki's face."You seem very happy. Why is that?"

"It's been so long since I had a dragon friend!" Tamaki jumped in to hug Riku, which surprised the redhead. It actually felt nice for someone to be so casual with him.

After that conversation, Riku rode on the back of Tamaki's full-dragon-forme, hoping to return to Majabah. On their way, they passed the SkySilica and happened to see Gaku, and most shockingly, fighting Tenn, whom Riku had spent the longest time looking for. The two did not know how to get in, so they broke the glass wall to enter.

-Majabah, the Nanase Mansion, Nighttime-

By the time Riku got back to his mansion with Gaku, Tenn, and Tamaki, it was nighttime. They were having a quick meeting with Otoharu and Sousuke beforehand. Tenn's blood boiled when his gaze met Sousuke's, but the two knew not to say anything to each other with the high lord present.
