Heavenly Eyes
"Blue Dragon." Saya uttered, a broad smile adorning her lips with stars sparkling in her scarlet eyes.
The Blue Dragon flinched, retracting his hand from her arm as if it was a hot fire, and slowly drew his sword.
"I-intruders... intruders should be killed... killed." He stuttered out, wielding his long blade.
The Fox Goddess's expression softened into a pitiful gaze as she stared at the mask that sheltered his eyes. Reaching out her hand, she attempted to grab the mask from his face but a steel weapon prevented her from getting any farther.
"Leave.. don't-.. intruders should..- cursed eyes.." the Blue Dragon mumbled, his spewed words like mixed alphabet soup letters.
Instead of backing down, Saya inched closer, a determined look embellishing her face. "You don't have to hide." She said, reaching her hands out once more.
The frightened Dragon Warrior backed up and continued to retreat until he felt a solid wall pushing against his back. His hands shook, unable to thrust his sword into the woman, then he dropped it.
Extending her fingers, the White-haired immortal grasped onto his ivory colored mask, and whispered, "You don't need to hide from me... because I know your eyes are beautiful."
The cracked mask fell to the floor with a thump as heavenly, amber eyes, exposed and beautiful, stared into crimson red ones accompanied by a bright smile.
"Your eyes are so pretty... such heavenly eyes."
Shin-Ah's mouth opened slightly, searching for words to say, but closed into a tight, quivering frown as tears welled in his dragon-ish eyes.
"T-they're cursed." He said dejectedly, shutting his eyelids firmly. "Everyone hates them, even Ao.."
Saya herself felt tears beginning to form at the rim of her eyes and scowled bitterly at the thought. "Who is Ao..?" She asked, already knowing the answer.
"The previous Dragon." The Seiryuu said, almost inaudible.
The goddess stroked his cheeks softly as she cried and said, "I'm sorry... for being too cowardly to search for you... for not being able to be there for you or Ao. I should've been there to at least guide you or comfort you... please forgive me."
Suddenly, voices aroused and ricochetted off the cave walls. Furrowing her brows, Saya swiftly wrapped her arms around the Blue Dragon and held him, her grip tightening as the footsteps got louder. Then, she hastily got up and sprinted out, leaving the Blue Dragon alone once more with only his chubby, chubby squirrel.

"Where have you been for the past hour?!" Yoon scolded as Saya rubbed the back on her nape sheepishly.
Hak, too, was pissed but hid it behind a rude, teasing remark. "What? Did you go into the hallways and get lost on the way here Fox Girl?"
A tick mark found its way to the goddess's forehead and made shelter there as it throbbed. "No I didn't! I found the... the-.. uhm... the Blue Dragon.."
