"Mmmm.... No not this one, either! Where is the green one?" shouted Yona throwing another "discarded" kimono to a servant.

Daiki stood nearby, sighing, 'That's 52 kimonos down, and not one has pleased her....really, I think her eye must be turning blind'  thought Daiki as he eyed one of the kimonos, it was 15 layers with many rainbow colors, it was beautiful and hideous at the same time.

Daiki also eyed the golden accessories, each decorated with rare jewels and difficult designs, well to Daiki, the more fancy it is the more hideous it is, he supposed that her fashion sense was just out of date with the female population since she has been wearing male clothing for such a long time now.

"Father, is there anything strange about my hair?" Yona asked her father with a pout while trying to fix her curly red hair, "Its beauty surpasses any jewe-" started King II when Yona interrupted him and said shamelessly "Yes, that of my face, I believe I was born with quite a cute face"

Daiki sighed again, King II sweat-dropped along with some other servants while Yona continued complaining, "But why is this hair so red and unruly," she said while twisting a small strand.

Daiki eyes twitched ever so slightly, 'Does she really not care that it is super rare, and the only other person who has red hair is the legendary King Hiryuu? Is this girl just really stupid, or dense, or just selfish? ......probably all three.' Daiki nodded to himself with the assumption he just made. Hey, he loves the Princess like a little sister and would give his life to protect her (but, then again, it might be the dragon blood that's making him feel like that), but he had a blunt personality which won't hold back event for its mistress.

He jumped back slightly when Yona suddenly waved her arms in extreme speed while turning back and forth saying "Grr! It won't behave at all!" Daiki sighed, 'Why not think about your personality for once?'

"That isn't true at all. Right, Hak, Daiki?" King II asked trying to calm her energetic daughter. Hak bowed, "Yes, King II, who would ever say that the princess's hair looks strange?" Daiki nodded while Hak continued, "If anythings not right," Hak looked up "Its her brain."

"Quiet, knave!" Yona retorted, while Daiki backed away deciding he didn't want any part of this. Thank the five dragon gods that Yona didn't see his nod which indicated that he agreed with Hak's last statement.

Yona started throwing a bunch of stuff that probably cost a lot of money at Hak, while Hak caught them all easily in many different forms.

"I don't care if he is one of the five generals, find someone more lovable!" Yona shouted as she threw a teacup at him, Daiki face-palmed silently, 'I bet everything that she probably never heard of the word "money"'  he thought as he watched a lovely vase which is probably worth millions almost smash to pieces on the ground if it weren't for a frantic servant who was lucky to catch it.

"Speaking of lovable, shouldn't you be trying to look lovable yourself?" asked Hak, Yona looked up confused. "Huh?"

Hak sighed, while Daiki decided to just go with the flow, "It seemed Lord Soo-won has arrived" Hak said, Yona instantly stood straight with a blush and stuttered as she walked off.

"Y-You should have said so sooner!" She accused as Yona left, King II then asked something that should have been obvious, "Soo-won? Is that why she has been so concerned wit her hair?" Hak said nothing and filled his cup with tea, "But why now?" asked King II.

"It must be what they call a "Maiden's Heart," said Hak drinking his tea, Daiki sighed, "Women are complicated..." Hak nodded in firm agreement, while everyone else sweat-dropped, (Shin-chan: Isn't Daiki a women?")

Daiki bowed to Hak and King II and followed Yona, knowing that either she will run past all the servants carrying things, creating a mess, or when she finds Soo-won, she will make a fool on herself and blame it on him for not saving her in time. Probably both.

As soon as Daiki was outside the room, he dashed after Yona, catching all the things she made the other servants drop and returning it the them with a quick sorry. '

'Step 1: Complete. Step 2: Save Yona from making a fool out of herself in front of Soo-won.' Daiki stopped, 'Erasing Step 2, future spouses need to handle there own problems'  Daiki thought to himself, nodding at his decision

Daiki caught up to Yona just in time to see her crash into Soo-won, 'Its too bad camera's aren't invented yet'  thought Daiki, seeing Yona's face which matched her hair colour was quite amusing.

"As energetic as always Yona-hime. Whats the rush?" Soo-won asked in his ever so soothing voice, Daiki stood around the corner so they could have there little moment for now.

"I-I heard you had arrived so I came to meet you" Yona said with a small pout and a smile on her red face.

Soo-won instantly turned into that childish rabbit character. "My, what a good girl." He said with his air-in-the-head smile, while petting her head, Yona ignored it for now, "Y-You can stay for a while this time, right?" Soo-won smiled, "Of course. I came to celebrate your birthday in a week."

Then it was back to Mr. Air-head rabbit, "Wow...You-re going to be sixteen years old!" said Mr. Air-head rabbit clutching his hands together looking towards who knows where. He went back to patting her head, "My, how have you grown! So where are King II and Hak?" Then he went off with flowers around him, "Ah, I must see them!" Soo-won dashed to another direction in excitement, leaving Yona alone (or maybe escaping her.)

As he turned the corner where Daiki was, he didn't seem to see Daiki, but Daiki saw an expression on his face that he didn't like. Daiki brushed it off for now as he turned back to Yona who was silently pouting, frustrated.

"He treats me like a child....like a child.....like a child!" Yona kept repeating, "Today I applied the most expensive perfumes, and applied only the highest quality lotions and makeup..." Yona said looking down, "All to a waste." said Hak appearing out of nowhere.

"Then do you want Lord Soo-won to treat you as an adult, Yona-hime?" asked Daiki, walking towards them, Yona didn't seem to hear him, while deep in thought, then Daiki and Hak actually thought about what Daiki just asked.

Whats going through Daiki's and Hak's mind:

The birds and the bees.

Daiki and Hak shuddered. 'Uh~ that's one of the most scariest thoughts I had for a while *still shivering* why did I think about it? Now I can't get it out of my head'  Daiki thought in despair.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

Currently, Yona is thinking about her and Soo-won when they were kids. How Soo-won comforted her when her mother passed away, when Yona wouldn't eat anything, Soo-won comforted her and gave her a pear even though his own stomach was growling.

When they slept together, Soo-won said, "I will hold your hand until you fall asleep, just like your mother did. If you cry, I will wipe those tears away, so don't worry!" Young Yona looked at Soo-won, "So please, smile tomorrow!" Inside young Yona's head she thought, 'Baka Soo-won, with you here my heart is beating so loudly, I can't fall asleep..' But the little Yona smiled anyway.

It was evening when Yona looked out into the night sky, her last memory fading, 'You are my most special one' she thought.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

Daiki was at the doorway in his perfect kneel position. He had a pretty good idea of what was going through Yona's head, he also saw her memory of Soo-won when they were young. Just one of the many abilities the Black dragon has (though his mind-seeing abilities are probably going to disappear someday because fate would think its too damn powerful).

Daiki also remembered the day when Soo-won arrived to help Yona after her mother passed away. Daiki was always watching Yona from afar (its not stalking, its to protect her). He also remembered the words that Soo-won said the Yona when she was trying to fall asleep with tears in her eyes, (he admits he was slightly eaves-dropping)

At times like this, Daiki's feminine side would come out and slightly sigh. Every girl would dream of having a husband like Soo-won.

But he ignored it. He just supposed that it was a girl's natural instinct.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

Omake

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

Daiki started meditating before a troublesome and slightly horrifying thought entered his head.

'I have to protect Yona from the dragons during mating season!'

Daiki was slightly panicked on the inside and unconsciously used his dragon speed and suddenly appeared at a shrine.

Clapping his hand twice, he prayed. 'Dragon Gods, if you can hear this, please please please let the other dragons also my half-brothers be mature and not naive-with-love-fools...

In the White Dragon Village...

The White Dragon Kija suddenly sneezed. "THIS IS TERRIBLE! THE WHITE DRAGON HAS A COLD!" The elder screamed while Kija tried to calm her down.

At the shrine....

"...or a boy who doesn't even know what love is and basically acts on instinct..."

In a mountain cave where the Blue Dragon Village settles...

A certain blue-haired dragon sneezed, the bell on his mask jingled ever so slightly in the darkness of the cave.

"Pukyuu!" A small squirrel jumped on the Blue dragon's shoulder. He smiled and signaled that he was fine.

At the shrine...

"or an absolute play-boy narcissist...."

At the port of Awa...

"Achoo!" A green-haired man sneezed on a lady he was trying to seduce. The said lady screamed, backed away and ran off in disgust.

"Noooooo~ Come back!" The Green Dragon despaired after her.

At the shrine...

"...or a dragon who acts like a naive person but is secretly a really wise and probably dangerous person..."

Somewhere in the wilderness...

"ACHOO!" A young boy with wild yellow hair sneezed as he fell down. "Oh no~ I hope I don't come down with a cold!" He said out loud before jumping back up and continued on skipping with flowers surrounding him.

"Don't even think about it." He said happily as he skipped away.

A bear came out of the bushes and shivered at the human he was preying on before he felt an instinctive warning that spoke 'danger,' and immediately backed off, deciding to go prey on something that wasn't so dangerous.

At the shrine...

The female Black dragon stood up, finished with her prayer and sped back to the palace, crossing her fingers that her prayer would be answered.

Well, too bad the Gods weren't listening on that day.
