~Ao~

I was at the gourmet wholesale market just passing time, also looking for Toriko because he was the most likely of the four kings i'll run into here considering Coco doesn't like crowds, Sunny is well i have no idea and Zebra is in jail, so yeah Toriko, besides following him i'm more likely to run into the others as well.

Spotting the familiar head of blue hair i grinned and practically skipped over to him, sure enough it was Toriko and he was carrying some sort of monster "Toriko!"i called running over to him, Toriko looked over and grinned "Ao!"he greeted as i hugged him "It's so good to see you" he said.

"Yeah it's been a while"Toriko grinned, I let go and walked next to him as he continued his way "So what's new?"i asked curiously "We're engaged i think that's it"he shrugged "Ah so papa told you"i mused and he nodded "So anything else i should know about?"i asked him, he grinned and went on to tell me what he's been doing the past years.

~Third~

"Komatsu!"Toriko called as the two reached a part of the gourmet market "Oh hey Toriko" Komatsu greeted him back and saw Ao "Who's that?"he asked thinking outloud "Came to sell this dentally challenge fella i just caught"he said setting down the monster after Ao stepped to his other side so she was crushed.

Tina the annoying reporter of Gourmet TV stepped up with a small squeal "An Underbite dragon that's a capture level 4 beast and an even more impressive specimen Gourmet Hunter Toriko and Ao the IGO presidents daughter, it's a triple dose of deliciousness"Tina gushed before running over.

"I'm Tina, Toriko right?And you're Ao the IGO presidents daughter?"she asked as both of them turned to her Toriko a little stunned and Ao just annoyed, she seriously disliked reporters, a little bird flew over and Ao instantly brightened up "This is my carrier balloon pigeon Kuropo"Tina said.

"Aww she's so cute"Ao gushed over the pigeon, Toriko chuckled a bit she hadn't changed at all, "Me meeting you here today is kismet, it's absolute kismet"Ao rose a brow at Tina's odd word choice.

"I know you see me on Gourmet TV where i bring exciting ingredients to people just like you do, oh light bulb i should interview you both"Tina said kinda rambling on when Johannes and a couple of suits from IGO popped up infront of her "All interviews must go through proper channels"he said as the two others pushed her back.

"Oh yeah says who?"Tina asked but was clearly terrified "The IGO?"one of her crewmen asked "That's right, name's Johannes chief of ingredients development in the IGO research department"he said 'One of the mutant makers huh?' Ao wondered in her thoughts looking at the man Johannes infront of her.

The director tried talk Tina out of it but she wouldn't until the other two suits dragged her off, Ao let out a small sigh of relief she really dislike reporters (as i've said before but she dislikes them so much it bears repeating also i find Tina really annoying so there)

"The media tends to shed light on things that should remain dark"Johannes told Komatsu after he had asked why couldn't Tina interview them and turned to Toriko and Ao "Miss Ao, Toriko it's good that i ran into you, i have a job i'd like you to handle"he said "Us both? But why?"Ao asked.

"Why don't you just put one of your little IGO Gourmet Hunters on it, that's what you have them for right?"Toriko asked adding to Ao's question "The Rainbow Fruit is ripe"Johannes simply said "Really?"Toriko and Ao asked at the same time.

"The rainbow fruit?!The legendary fruit that changes taste based on temperature and humidity?!"Komatsu practically yelled, Ao lightly punched his head "Keep your voice down midget you don't want the whole world to know do you?"she asked him, "The whole world should know about this!"Komatsu yelled and Ao just rolled her eyes.

"One little drop from a rainbow fruit juice enough to turn an entire Olympic sized pools water into the sweetest most refreshing nectar, that's how heavily concentrated it's flavors are, one fruit alone would be worth more the a 100 carat diamond"he said "But i thought they were extinct"

"And why do you think that is?"Ao asked him, Komatsu looked at her "One fruit is worth a 100 carat diamond you say?Do you have any idea what people would do for that kind of money?Do you have any idea how greedy people can be?DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY?!"she yelled loosing her temper at the greediness of some people.

Komatsu looked down knowing she had a point, "True which is exactly why you should keep quite about this, in nature they are extinct"Johannes said "I see so this is one of the IGO's science fair projects"Toriko said, Johannes nodded "There's just one small problem, none of our people can get close to the rainbow tree because Troll Kong's have nested there"he said.

"Did you say Troll Kong's?"Komatsu asked frightened "Yes, king of all gorillas the Troll Kong, we dispatched a heavy grade gourmet tank to take them out but they knocked it upside down, a 40 ton piece of machinery flipped like a table, their capture level nine"Johannes said.

Before Komatsu could scream in terror Ao interrupted "I think i'll pass"she said calmly as ever crossing her arms "Why?Are you scared?"Toriko smirked nudging her "No, i'm not scared i have things to do, besides i'm sure you can handle this yourself Toriko"she said staring at him showing she wasn't scared and believed in him "Alright do what you gotta do"Toriko said shrugging a bit "We'll meet again Toriko"Ao mysteriously said as she smirked before walking away.

Ao went home, which was built on a cliff with a cave under it, the cave was otherwise empty only holding one thing inside, a White Dragon, one day Ao had found an egg in the cave under her house and happened to be there in time to see it hatch, the dragon that hatched from it was a White Dragon.

A reptilian beast with a capture level of unknown, these White Dragons are smaller then their cousin the Dragon King of Area 1 in the Gourmet World, the Derous, they are just as aggressive though so don't expect an easy fight.

A full grown White Dragon is one of the biggest creatures out there(pic)and the one of the most graceful as well especially in flight, they are a rare species living at the edge of Area 1 but it seemed one individual came to the cave under Ao's home and laid an egg.

Ao has been taking care of the hatchling since she was 18, when she first moved to her house and found the egg in the cave, six years later to present day the little reptile that was the size of a cat has grown to be the size of polar bear and it will continue to grow.
