maderrAck. Can I skip books 3 & 4 and go straight to 5? *__*
I suppose not. Alas.
Anyway.
Or: What Storm Dragons do when they should probably be saving the world or something
"Kyo! I'm going to kill you!" Taka threw the fish back into the water and sprinted after his twin, water flying in all directions as they ran through the surf, the beads in Kyo's hair catching the sunlight -- until clouds began to fill the sky. "Don't you dare!" Taka bellowed, increasing his speed. "Lightning is cheating, you good for nothing god! No lightning! I'm going to kill you!" Taka lunged, tackling Kyo, sending them both crashing down to be swallowed by the surf. Above them the sky once more cleared, no threat of a storm remaining.
"Brat," Kyo said as they came sputtering up, his hair a a tangled mess. "And you hurt the poor little fish's feelings. He liked you." Kyo laughed as he swept his tangled hair from his face.
"I'll show you brat!" Taka howled, and shoved Kyo back beneath the water -- then let out a shout that quickly turned into sputtering and coughing as Kyo shoved back, reversing their positions.
"Honestly, Taka," Kyo said, climbing to his feet. "Temper, temper." He took off like a shot, laughing and calling taunts over his shoulder, barely staying ahead of Taka.
Higher up the beach, well away from the water and twins, Raiden sat chuckling and drinking wine straight from the bottle. Beside him, whiter than the sand, seemingly obliviosu to the the heat of the sun, Kindan lay out, half-dozing with his arms tucked beneath his head.
"Have they finally killed each other?" Kindan asked when the shouting abruptly stopped, not bothering to open his eyes to see for himself. Then Taka bellowed a long string of curses. "Never mind."
Raiden laughed and pressed the bottle to Kindan's side, laughing as the cold wine against hot skin made Kindan jump.
Grumbling, Kindan dragged himiself to a sitting position, tilting his head back to down a swallow of sweet white wine.
Raiden suddenly smirked. "If we asked them nicely, do you think they'd do that naked?"
Kindan choked on the wine, droping the bottle and doubling over as he began to cough. When he finally recovered, he turned to glare at Raiden. "Shima!"
"What?" Raiden asked innocently.
"I will hurt you."
Raiden grinned. "I see what you're thinking. If we start the naked fighting, they'll follow suit. Very clever."
"Oh, shut up." Kindan said, and fell back into the sand, draping an arm over his eyes, ignoring the laughter beside him and the racket further down the beach.
