On Scarlet Scales {KiriBaku}

Flashback

"Come on Kirishima!" The nasally voice of a small green haired girl yelled out as she then proceeded to throw herself off a steep, grassy ledge that had a sheer drop with no signs of a bottom. 5 seconds passed, 10 seconds then 20 seconds and still nothing, no signs of the girl who seemingly just jumped to her demise off a rather tall, steep cliff face. Then after an uncomfortable amount of time a large flash of green came surging back up the grassy ledge. Outspread and majestic a stunningly beautiful, emerald green dragon resurfaced itself from oblivion. Showing off the full extent of her wingspan then then quickly curled her body mid-air, seamlessly morphing back to her human form before tumbling and rolling back to earth landing flat on her back; legs and arms out spread as she caught her breath.

Loud claps and cheering from a small handful of people could be heard ring out as the girl safely landed on the almost soft grass. Her name could be heard called as someone began to run over to the place she was laying. As she lay waiting for the person to reach her, she looked up at the truly bewitching sky, taking in the fascinatingly beautiful place she lived, somewhere high in the abandoned mountains of japan. Soft looking cloud glided gracefully across the deep blue sky with the help of the light afternoon breeze.

"Shit Tsu you were gone for ages; how far did you get?" An out of breath voice panted and he neared. The he aforementioned Tsu sat up to look over at the male who had run over to great her. The first striking feature of the other person was his vibrant red, spiky hair that, up close almost looked soft to the touch despite its appearance. Sporting big, pointed teeth he grinned joyously at the girl, the male honestly looked like he didn't have a malicious bone in his body, he just radiated happiness and positivity.

"Um, I think I got down to the tree stump," Tsu replied, pressing her index finger to her lip, her tongue sticking out slightly as she thought. Standing up to stretch her limbs, her big black eyes focused on the bubbly male in front of her who was more than impressed with how far down the mountain she had gotten. "It's your turn now Kiri," Tsu smiled, walking alongside the red head as the two made their way back to group.

"That's so manly, I've never even gotten close to the stump," Kirishima replied, clenching his fist in admiration, "but I'm ready to try." Once over to the small group of three Kirishima threw his red and black zebra print scarf in the direction of a very timid dark-haired male who looked to be wildly uncomfortable and honestly out of place as he leaned subtly into the side of a larger blond male. "look after this for a sec Amajiki." The timid Amajiki nodded slowly, he had been, against his will dragged out here by Kirishima to go cliff diving. Though being quite anxious to come out due to the fact that it was prohibited to mess around at the cliff edge of their small village, he had brought his boyfriend, Mirio along, mainly to help calm his nerves.

"Yay Tsu! That was so impressive, you were down there for like 20 no 30 seconds, for a minute I was sure you weren't gonna come up, then there you were wooosh," an overly enthusiastic purple haired girl squealed. She was the last of the group. Nejire, she was here because she didn't want to be left out and she wanted to see if Amajiki would jump, and as of yet he has not. The three older dragons were chilling in their human form watching and every now and then participating in the younger one's cliff jumping. Tsu thanked Nejire before sitting down next to the small group to watch Kirishima's jump.

After a chatting with a group for a bit and grabbing a quick bite to eat the red head was ready to do his last jump of the day. Reeling back to the point Tsu had ran from he took his mark and with a small count down in his head he was off. Racing full speed to the edge of the cliff throwing himself full force into the unknown. Right now, it really was the unknown. What Tsu had failed to mention to the male was there happened to be a multitude of thunder clouds rolling up the mountain, something that was obscured by the steep almost vertical mountain the dragons resided on. Living way up in the cloud tops on some of the tallest mountains around the world dragons often never really had issues with truly bad weather. So, this was something the scarlet dragon had next no experience with, let alone being able to fly through it. As soon and Kiri noticed the growing storm clouds, he frantically began to transform to his dragon from, though he wasn't as streamline at morphing between forms as Tsu was. So as the poor male fell, he was well and truly in the eye of the storm before he was able to transform.
