Snow Sato by Ai Kagi (most romantic novels .TXT) 📕

almost gotten over to Taizen, Taizen whisked his hand out and hit Jakto. The impact smashed Jakto's chest and he flew backwards.
Taizen turned to see how Kei's battle was going and was shocked to see him on the ground with Marinta standing on him. Kei had a scowl spread across his face and Marinta looked as evil as she could. Marinta looked straight at Taizen and said, "Stop fighting us or I'll kill him." "No!" Toby yelled. Dageki took a step closer to Marinta and Kei felt and electric shock in his head. He grunted in pain and Toby stopped.
Footsteps. An army of footsteps sounded which made Taizen snap his head in their direction. From the left side of the Great Mountain, a herd of strong, ninja soldiers appeared. They had a variety of dastardly weapons that they either held or carried on their backs.
Taizen gritted his teeth together and yelled as he shot out a large, purple force from his body. "No!" Marinta screamed, as all of the soldiers toppled backwards like dominoes. This distraction gave Toby the chance to land an attack on Marinta and he took it. Her eyes widened when she saw a large, metal paw headed her way. She was thrown about thirty yards away and landed on top of Jakto.
Taizen helped Kei onto Toby's dragon and they swiftly left the scene. "Good job, kid!" Taizen told Toby. Toby was shocked, then, he smiled a giant smile and gave a thumbs-up. "Heh!Heh!Yeah, you too!"

Yuki woke up to find herself chained to a chair. She frowned and tried to escape the metal links, but to no avail.
'Where am I?' she thought, 'I've got to get out of here. *sigh* I guess I'll have to use my power to get out.' Her hair began to turn blue and she would have used her power to freeze the chains, but, suddenly, the chains fell off.
"Huh?" 'What is this?' Yuki jumped up and looked around. She spotted someone in the loft of the building she was in, that looked like an old sanctuary. Yuki lowered her gaze, so as not to alert the person of her knowledge of his whereabouts.
Fox landed behind Yuki, quietly. Yuki turned around and tried to land a punch on him, but he was too quick. He twirled about and kicked toward her head. She ducked and punched him in the face.
Fox brushed off his face with his sleeve. "This is POINTLESS. I just wanted to talk to you," he explained. "Talk? Move like, brainwash!" Yuki exclaimed. "What?! I would never think like that!" Fox grinned evilly, "Your father couldn't escape Ganjou Hoshi's wrath. He wasn't brainwashed and just knelt before Ganjou Hoshi, accepting his fate!"
'Is he trying to make me mad so I'll use my power?' Yuki thought. She frowned and yelled, "My father did what he could! Of course he couldn't escape and he couldn't fight back, because he didn't have a weapon! That's so low for someone to kill and unarmed person!"
"Whatever..." Fox said. Yuki got mad, "You idiot! You used to be our friend! Why did you turn to the wrong?!" "That's none of your business," he said.
Yuki got mad and used her secret , new-found power. "Now we're talking!" Fox said and started laughing. His skin turned completely black and he had white, glowing eyes. Yuki was glowing and she had rainbow-colored sparkles flitting around her.
As Yuki and Fox clashed forces, bright black and white sparks flew everywhere. Yuki struggled hard to win, but Fox finally struck a blow to Yuki's leg, wounding it badly.
Yuki now sat on the floor, with her leg covered in blood that came out of the wound. As Fox cam toward her, she scooted back. He kept coming closer and she was scooting slower and slower, until a large collision shattered the large window of the sanctuary.
The fight ceased as both heads turned to see what had happened. Taizen descended lightly and swiftly from the steel beast.
Fox quirked an eyebrow and smirked. "Come on. Fight me, Taizen," he spat out the name. "Why? What's the point?" was the reply. Kei, Toby, and Yuki gasped at this sudden answer.
Now it was Taizen whom was grinning evilly. "Taizen, wh-" Yuki was cut off. "I don't care about helping out the Snow Sato anymore. I could care less about what happens to it, everyone in and around it, and most of all... you, Yuki. Yuki couldn't believe what Taizen was saying.
"Taizen! You can't mean that!" "Oh, yes... I do," he answered. Yuki was horror-stricken.
Kei did not have to ask why Taizen was doing this, he knew Taizen had been poisoned. 'It was that so-called medicine that that Sardis lady used. Wait a second... She said she was skilled in medicine and poison, but... she never said what she used on Taizen!' Kei thought and his head began to pound rapidly, 'No! It's all my fault! I wasn't strong enough.'
Kei tried to get up but his recent wounds kept him from doing so. "Taizen!" he tried instead, "Sardis poisoned you!" Taizen's facial features were darkened by shadow now and he retorted, "I don't know what you're saying and I don't care," Taizen said, "I'm going to join the Clan of Desperado. I won't be stopped and besides," he brushed his bangs up in the air, "you're both too wounded to fight me or Fox."
Toby got angry at that and had Dageki swipe his paw towards the two Clan of Desperado followers. Taizen destroyed the dragon's arm with some new force, making the dragon crash backwards. This action left Kei and Toby sprawled in the dirt. Fox threw the energy-blown Toby onto his back and left. Taizen glanced back at Yuki; she was now glaring at him, propped up on her elbows.
Her face showed that she was scared. Taizen flashed back over to her, knocking her back down, and he locked a kiss with her. Yuki's eyes grew wide and she blushed.
"Please, don't go, Taizen!" she cried. Taizen glared at her and said, "No way. If you love me, then join me." "I... can't," she said looking away. "Too bad. You don't love me, after all," he said. Yuki was shocked and, then, he hit her on the back of the neck and left.

"Yuki," someone said, shaking her gently. "Yuki."
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Kei's face right in hers. "Kei!" Yuki blushed a bit, then hugged him. "Yuki?" now Kei blushed and also winced. "Oh, sorry," she said. "It's... uh... okay," he replied, "What happened?"
This question made Yuki remember what Taizen had done and said. Now, she started to sob softly, "Taizen; he's... gone. I don't remember any more." Kei felt downstruck, seeing Yuki this way, and he gave her a hug. 'What am I doing? I'm not usually this friendly,' he told himself. Yuki pulled away and said, "Kei, you have Amai. Don't try to help me feel better. Okay?" Kei wiped her tears away and said, "Okay."
Yuki staggered up and gazed amongst the rubble. She saw Dageki and ran behind Kei. "Yuki!" he yelped when she sunk her fingers into his arms. "Th-That's a-a... dragon!" she exclaimed. Kei sweat-dropped and told her the whole story.
When he was finished, Yuki was staring at him with intent eyes. She realized the story was over when Kei rubbed his neck, saying, "Uh, Yuki... I said it was the end." "Oh, sorry!" Yuki looked away, embarrassed.
Kei sighed and abruptly stood. "Come on. We need to get back to the Sato," he stated. "Yuki nodded. She got up from her sitting position.
Dageki still had a blown off arm and Yuki noticed this. "Oh, you poor thing!" Yuki hugged the dragon's only forepaw. Kei sweat-dropped. 'I thought she was afraid of it,' he thought.
Yuki touched the dragon's wound and his paw rematerialized. "There. All better," she grinned.
She turned to Kei, "Are you hurt, Kei?" "Hm? No... UH!" he tried to lie, but then his ribs started to spasm. He recalled that Marinta had stepped on him earlier, crushing his rib cage.
"Kei! You are hurt! Don't lie to me like that!" Yuki scolded. "No. Really, I'm fine," Kei protested.
Yuki didn't listen to him and walked up to him. "Yuki..." Kei said, "What are you planning?" "Nothing," Yuki had a deviant smile on her face, as she walked up to him.
"Yuki..." Yuki quickly gave Kei a hug and wouldn't let go. "Yuki, let go," Kei said. "No." Kei was annoyed at her arrogance and tried to push her away. "Wait," she said. So, Kei stood still and waited.
When Yuki let go of him, she said, "All better," now putting on a silly smile. Kei blushed instantly and started yelling, "Yuki! Don't do that! You scare me!" Yuki burst into laughter. "Don't laugh!" "Sorry! It's too funny!" "What?" "Your face!" "What?! Yuki, you're embarrassing me!"
Yuki kept giggling and said, "Well, does it feel better now?" "Uh... yes. Thank you," Kei said. "I'm happy to help!" Yuki smiled. Then, she began to feel dizzy and swayed back and forth.
"Yuki?!" Kei caught her before she fell. He looked at her face and thought, 'She must have used to much energy. How can she be so happy at a time like this? Yuki...'
Then, Kei fell over and Dageki caught them. Kei winced, 'My ribs still haven't completely recovered, although she healed them.' "AHH!" Kei screamed and clenched his head. Dageki hesitated to put Yuki on his back, but did so and also felt concern for Kei.
Kei fell on the ground and electric started zapping out of his eyes. Apparently, the major beatings he had taken activated his 'Metsuki no Hi'. The transformation left Kei out cold.
Dageki snorted a sigh and placed Kei carefully on his back as well. A steel plate, from the dragon's back, covered both of them. The plate was like a cocoon and contained a healing substance to help their wounds heal.
The dragon flew off toward the Snow Sato. He had to get there quickly, before a snow storm, which he could sense was coming, set in.

Taizen and Fox reached the icy castle of the Clan of Desperado that was ruled by the Desperado Empress. It looked as if the castle was broken apart in one section, but the rest seemed to be intact. The glistening castle was atop a mountain and the mountain had a hole in it that did not go through the other side.
Entering the hole in the mountain, the two walked up a very tall flight of stairs. When they got to the top, they opened a white door and went inside.
Taizen shook off the snow that had fallen onto his hair and followed Fox down a corridor. They arrived at a throne room that was enormous and bluish-white in tint. On the left of the throne, was a large, iced spot in the corner. Taizen noticed that an adolescent, about his own age was frozen upright, in the ice, with his eyes closed.
Empress Sardis or Sardis Vagilis was at her throne and noticed Taizen trying to figure out who the frozen person was. "That's my younger brother, Rax," she explained. "Hm... So, you had him frozen, because he was a threat to your Clan of Desperado..." Taizen finished. "Yes, quite thoughtful," Sardis replied, clearly impressed with his observance.
"What do I do with Toby?" Fox asked. Sardis face twisted into a frown, "Take him to the dungeon," she ordered. Fox grinned and looked down at Toby, "Ya' hear that? Your favorite playroom." "NOOO!!!" Toby screamed. Taizen cocked an eyebrow and Fox just shrugged, dragging Toby, by the wrist, out
