First off, thank you for continuing! I would just like to make sure that you read to last chapter, which is actually an boring Authors note, but still pretty important. I realized like 2 hours after I published that I missed two notes, so I added it quickly, but just in case some read it before I edited it, here they were.

- While this isn't necessary, very recommended to have either read or watched Hunter X Hunter and Akatsuki no Yona. And also recommended to have read the Akatsuki no Yona manga up to its newest updates.

- Zeno, in the manga, during his wandering after he left Hiryuu's castle met a girl named Kaya whom he married to. In this fanfic, while Kaya exists, they didn't actually get married but had a more sibling-like relationship.

- This fanfic is based off of Hunter X Hunter 2011 version and Akatsuki no Yona anime and manga (the manga is still continuing.) While I still keep up with the Akatsuki no Yona manga, I don't keep up with HxH manga, so I don't know what happens beyond the 2011 anime (I actually didn't finish the anime either, stopped at the Chimera Ant arc, raged quit after I found out that Killua and Gon end of separating at the end of the series). So if I do reach the end of the anime through this book (which I know isn't going to happen anytime soon), I'm going to complete it once I reach the end of the anime. But a sequel where I continue with the manga is in consideration if a lot of people do like this fanfic.

 - A few minor OC's will appear (no one major, and honestly, most of them, if not all, will probably have only one paragraph of screen time.

On this note, I will confirm that other Akatsuki no Yona characters will appear. For flashbacks, or special moments to deliver messages to Zeno. Or any other moments I will not spoil. But none of the AnY Characters will make a very big appearance in this story, the only AnY character you should be expecting is Zeno all the way.

Anyway, lets start the prologue (Please note that in most stories, the beginnings are always boring.)

~O~

"Hime-sama!" 

"Yona!"

"Yona, LOOK OUT!"

"YONA-CHAN!"

"LITTLE MISS!"

"HIME!"

All cries and sounds of warning fell deaf to the Princess of the Four Dragons as she fellto the ground, three arrows sticking out of her back.

"NOOOOO!" 

~O~

"I'm sorry...but there is nothing I can do..." 

"WHAT ARE YOU F*CKING TALKING ABOUT YOU DAMN MEDIC! DO YOUR DAMN JOB!"

"Hak, Let go of him! Calm down already!" 

"SHUT UP, YOON!"

"GUYS! HELP ME STOP HIM!"

The rest of the dragons were silent, still frozen in shock and horror of the news that was just presented to them. 

The White Dragon instantly joined Hak in forcing the medic, unable to accept to truth. Screaming and crying the entire time as his dragon arm started to boil like fire in his grief.

The Blue Dragon's mask couldn't stop the water from flowing down the his beautiful eyes, trembling, he fell to the floor.

The Green Dragon's eyes were wide, his fist clenched until his nails drew blood. Unable to face reality, he did what he was best at, doing what he did all his life. He ran.

And finally, the Yellow Dragon. His expression hadn't changed. Stone-cold, emotionless, but his eyes were lit with fire.

"Hak, Kija, get off him. Yoon, escort the medic out." The Yellow dragon ordered calmly.

"ZENO, STAY OUT O--"

Hak stopped once he saw the Yellow Dragon's eyes, the usual happy-go-lucky dragon was in that state again. The calm and regal Ouryuu with sharp eyes stood in place, his eyes ordering Hak to not argue.

Not changing his expression, The Ouryuu turned around to address the rest of the company, "Hakuryuu, go get Rokuryuu to come back here, Seiryuu, calm down and get up." Resting a hand a Shin-Ah's shoulders before taking his hand gently and pulling him up.

Kija, finding himself unable to protest against the older dragon's request went to look for his Green Dragon half-brother, desperate and thankful for anything to distract him from the main situation.

"B-But...Yona.." The Blue Dragon protested.

Zeno held up a calm hand, "She will be fine. She won't die just yet."

"And how do you expect to do that? That was the best medic in Kouka! THIS SITUATION IS HOPELESS!" The Green Dragon shouted, hearing the Yellow Dragon's claim upon his return with Kija following after him with a doubtful, both of them had swollen red eyes, obviously had been crying.

"Yes...no human medic can cure her. But a God can. I am the original Yellow Dragon of Kouka, I spoke with God before, he had ignored me before...but for the Red Dragon, he won't ignore this." Zeno said with clenched fists as he turned around to face Yona, his hand slowly finding his gold pendant on his chest, given to him by King Hiryuu himself.

"I won't lose Little Miss like I had lost my King..."

~O~

"Are you willing? To sacrifice your chance of mortality for this girl?" A magnificent Dragon stood before Zeno, with scales of vibrant yellow and a voice of a thousand kings.

"...This 'girl' is my Mistress. As my duty to my dragon blood and my heart, something like this is a little sacrifice."

...

"...Very well. You have performed your duty well, my kin. Your loyalty will surely be rewarded one day, I promise." The Yellow Dragon God bowed his head in respect.

The red-haired princess glowed a beautiful gold as her wounds closed and her breathing became peaceful. She smiled tiredly in her sleep.

The Yellow Dragon God disappeared when the healing was finished, Zeno kneeled before his Mistress and smiled gently,

"Merely being with her and my half-brothers is more then enough for someone like me..."

~O~

The other three dragons along with the Thunder Beast and self-proclaimed pretty boy stood outside the temple with worried looks before the three dragon warriors sighed in relief as there blood felt the familiar heartbeat of there master.

"S-She's alright..." Kija started crying tears of joy and relief while Yoon cried as well once he heard.

Jae-ha shoulders slumped, feeling pressure off his shoulders as well as pure relief.

Hak fell to the ground, feeling much older then was, hiding his face with his hands as water swelled up in his eyes. "Yokatta...Yokatta..." (*'Yokatta' translates to 'What a relief'*)

But one of the dragons trembled, feeling a burst of happiness at the thought of Yona being safe, but it all faded away into horror as Zeno exited the temple.

"Zeno....what have you done...?" Shin-Ah, the Blue Dragon stared at his half-brother in horror as he wasn't naive enough to know what Zeno offered in exchange for his Mistress's health wasn't small at all.

Shin-Ah had seen it all.

The Blue Dragon cried as he immediately latched onto the Yellow Dragon, crying tears of sorrow and grief while the others watched in confusion. The other Dragons, sensing Shin-Ah's grief immediately looked to the oldest of them all for an explanation, their uneasiness growing.

Zeno merely smiled.

~O~

SLAP!

"Yona..!" Yoon gasped in shock as a red hue appeared on the Ouryuu's cheek as Zeno held a hand to it, not at all surprised.

Yona had slapped Zeno.

"W-Why did you! HOW COULD YOU! I didn't want any of this! YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST LET ME DIE!" The Red-haired Princess eyes gleamed with anger and fury, screaming at the Yellow Dragon.

"Hime-sama!" Hak immediately got up and held the raging princess back.

"LET GO OF ME! YOU SHOULD HAVE STOPPED HIM, HAK! LET GO!" Yona didn't back down as tears appeared in her eyes as she tried to escape the Thunder Beasts gasp.

"Yona."

All action stopped as Zeno the Yellow Dragon called the Red-Haired Princess's name for the first time. Not Little Miss, not Mistress, but her name.

"If Zeno let Little Miss die...Zeno and everyone else would have been very sad." Zeno smiled gently as he stood and wiped the tears in the Princess's eyes.

Hak let the Princess go, seeing that Yona had calmed down and a little shocked himself at the Yellow Dragon's statement.

"..." Yona eyes filled up with tears once more, her hands covering her eyes as she cried. "B-But...you'll never fulfill your promise to them...your generation half-brothers...you'll never be able to die...you'll never be at peace...you'll be alone...."

The other dragons in the room who were silent all the time had their grief returning to them once more, Kija and Shin-Ah's eyes filling up with tears as Jae-Ha couldn't bring himself to look at Zeno, his eyes filled with shame that in the end, he left Zeno all alone to protect Yona.

"I'm so sorry..." Yona whispered, her voice hoarse from grief.

"Little Miss, there is nothing for you to apologise for. What happened in that past happened. And if Zeno had gone into the past again, Zeno would do the same thing all over. Zeno doesn't regret his decision!" The Yellow Dragon said happily.

Kija, Yona, Yoon, and Shin-Ah threw themselves at Zeno crying, while Yona repeated "I'm sorry" over and over, Jae-ha and Hak stayed where they were, but their fists were clenched and eyes filled with anguish.

Zeno made sure not to say out-loud that the only thing he regretted out of all this was making his brothers and Mistress cry.

~O~

"Hah...hah...This is it, Zeno... I'm going to join Hime-sama in heaven." Kija, the White Dragon announced as he breathed heavily in his bed.

Zeno smiled, though he couldn't hide his sadness in his eyes. The man before him wasn't the young and beautiful white dragon warrior he once was, instead, what stood in place was a wrinkled weak old man.

"How strange...during Zeno's generation, the Hakuryuu was the first one to die, yet here many generations later its the Hakuryuu who is the last to pass."

"Don't say such morbid things during my deathbed..." Kija protested weakly.

"Say hi to everyone for me." Zeno requested as he willed himself not to cry.

"Your going to say hi to them yourself! I swear, I'm going to find a way for you to join us!

Yona, Hak, Yoon, Jae-ha, and Shin-ha had already passed away. Zeno, who watched all of them as they passed, all of them promising during their last breath to find a way for him to join them in heaven.

"Ah...It's alright...Zeno will be fine alone."

"Hah...hah...no one...was...born...i-into...this...world..hah..to be....hah..alone...Not even...monsters...like..us.."

"I...will see...you in...heaven...hah...my brother...please...trust us.." And with that, Kija, the White Dragon warrior passed away.

...

Zeno held tightly onto the wrinkled human's hand where the great dragon hand once was. 'Even in death, you all say the same thing...' Zeno thought quietly.

"You little brat...even though you are older then me your are still an idiot...no one was born to be alone...I swear on my name as the Green Dragon Warrior...I will find a way for you to join us!"

"I know...what it felt...like...hah..to be...alone...all..those year...hiding...in...that cave....I couldn't...have...lived..without...meeting..all...of you...it made...hah...me..realize something...no..one..was born...to be...alone.."

"Zeno...I'm counting on you to take care of Hime-sama...Ha...to think the great Thunder Beast would fall in battle...Do you think the Oh-so great dragon Gods...would..let me...be with the others..? Heh...I just force my way through...I'll be waiting for you too...Don't you dare think that you could get away with this...I'll find a way to get you to heaven if I have to kill the Gods myself....no one in this damn world was meant to be alone."

"Che...assassination wasn't part of my calculations...looks like this genius pretty boy is going to die...Oi...take care, okay? I-I know you said that you don't regret...what y-you did to save Yona...but...your..important too..y-your also...hah...pretty stupid...your...not as...strong..as you think..hah..hah..you say you can be alone....but no...one...can..be..alone..forever...."

"I'm going to join everyone in heaven now...I wonder...if...Father...is also there...I wonder...if Lily and Soo-won...are there...despite everything...he has...done...I can't...bring myself to hate....him..Zeno..promise...me...I'll see you too...I won't...rest in peace...until you...can be...happy...I don't...want you to...be alone...hah..because...of my sake...this..whole thing...is my fault...so I'll fix it....You won't...hah..be alone...forever...no one...is born...to be...alone. I promise...I'll find...a way..."

Bringing the wrinkled hand up to his cheek, Zeno smiled as tears dripped down from his eyes.

"Kija...Jae-ha...Shin-ha...Yoon...Hak...Yona...I'll wait forever...so I'll hold you up to that promise."

~O~

I know, I know, this chapter is so sappy that it makes you gag. I promise that the future chapters will be better. I just thought this kind of chapter was 'necessary.'

Look forward to the next update!

P.S. Is it weird that my own work almost made me shed tears?
