~*~Chapter 9: The Gathering~*~

Kaela stood on top of a mountain overlooking the Star Kingdom, awaiting the dragons to arrive. The humans that live in the kingdom were out living like other humans until the gathering is over.

“Kaela?” Hiei asked as he walked over to her.

“You should leave, Hiei. Only dragons are welcome here during the Gathering.” Kaela stated, not even turning to him. She sighed when she felt him leave. The dragons soon came into view and Kaela transformed into her dragon form. Glowing blue eyes, a silver mane, huge glittery silver wings, and glittery silver horns.

The first dragons that reached her, bowed their heads, as she did the same, then landed within the kingdom in humanoid forms. It was night by the time all the dragons arrived, all but one.

“Has anyone seen Darkness?” Kaela asked as she joined the others.

“No, Milady. No one has seen him since he left.” stated a male dragon with flaming red hair with matching eyes.

“Thank you, Wild Fire.” Kaela said smiling at the dragon.

“Milady, you know how Darkness is. He was never one for the Gathering and he was always a bit different.” said a female dragon with ocean blue hair and matching eyes.

“I know, but he always showed up no matter what, Oceanna (Pronounced O-c-anna)” Kaela stated.

“Forgive me. I must have forgotten.” the ocean dragon bowed as she stepped back.

“You are dismissed to your regular caves for the night. We will continue in the morning.” Kaela said as the dragons bowed and went to their respective caves. Kaela, instead of going to her cave, went to the cave of Darkness’s parents.

“Midnight, Flame. May I speak with you?”

“Of course, Milady. What do we owe the honor?” Flame said as he bowed a greeting.

“Have you heard anything from Darkness?”

“I’m sorry, Milady, but the last thing we heard from him was that the one who bares his mark, is where he resides.” Midnight said as she watching the Ruler of the Dragons closely.

“The one who bares his mark?” Kaela whispered to herself trying to remember what happened at the Dark Tournament.

~Flashback (Kaela‘s P.O.V.)~

I was running through the halls, trying to get to the lower level so I could heal Hiei enough so he wouldn’t lose his life. I was almost to the door when I heard it. I heard someone yell for the Dragon of Darkness Flame.

“Darkness?” I whispered as I froze. I couldn’t move or think. Then one thought hit me. ‘Has Darkness finally returned?’

When I finally collected my senses, the fight was over. I didn’t see if Darkness really returned or not. I returned to my room and left the island that morning.

~End Flashback (Normal P.O.V.)~

“Lady Kaela? Are you alright?” Midnight asked as her eyes shown with concern.

“I’m fine. Just lost myself in my memories.” Kaela said smiling slightly. ‘Darkness was at the Dark Tournament. So all I have to do is find the ones that are still alive from the tournament and ask them what they know.’ “Goodnight. We have a big day tomorrow.” She said as she turned and left.

“Do you think she’ll find him?” Midnight asked her mate as he came to stand beside her.

“Lady Kaela and Darkness were always together. I would have never believed he left her if I didn’t see it myself.” Flame said as he remembered that day perfectly.

~Flashback~ (the dragons are in their dragon forms expect for Flame)

“Darkness?” asked a young silver dragon as she walked up to a black dragon, who is about the same age as herself, looking out on the ocean.

“I’ve been thinking and I want to go off to see the world.” Darkness said looking at her.

“You know I would love to do that but I can’t. I have my duties here.”

“I know, Kaela. That’s why you’re not coming with me.” Darkness said not looking at her.

“You’ll end up like that kitsune, Yoko Kurama.” Kaela said with sadness and hurt in her voice.

“Kitsunes are weaker than dragons. I’ll be fine.” He said as he finally looked at her.

“No one has been able to control you and I believe no one will.”

“I’ll be back for you when that dog of yours dies. I’ll come back and take you as my mate.” He said as he gave her a dragon kiss and took flight. “Remember my promise.” He yelled as he disappeared.

“I’ll never forget.” She said as a tear fell to the ground.

‘I don’t believe it. He actually left the one he truly loves.’ Flame thought as he walked away from the crying dragon.
