Volume 1: The Dragon King!, Chapter 2: Wow.. you see people..

After quite a while of traveling on the motor car like bike, Keira noticed the sky started turning bluish purple, and the moon started to appear. She then scans around and finds an open grass field. Keira drives the bike to the field and parks in it.

“Are we going to camp here for the night Keira?” asked Noah who jumps off the bike casually and lands firmly onto the ground.

Keira with a heavy sigh, “Yes Noah. Yes, we are. Stand behind me please.”

The boy does what is told as Keira takes out a golf sized metal plastic ball with a blue button on it. She presses the button on top of the ball and throws it forward 10 feet in front of her. The ball hits the ground and explodes into a very fancy small house for at least 3 people.

Noah with a shocked look on his face and in thought, ‘Holy shit!’

Keira noticed the look on the young boy’s face and not help but giggle slightly.

The house is grayish blue colored with two round windows in the front of the house, and the door is a single door with a golden knob.

Keira walked towards the house and opened the grayish colored door with Noah while holding his bag with his few belongings close behind.

She turns on a switch next to the door and the electricity switches on. The room lights up and in it is a couch, flat screen television, coffee table, and open space that leads to the kitchen, and four doors that leads to the bathroom and three bedrooms.

Keira stretching her arms then taking off her boots, “Hey I’m going to take a bath.”

“Oh ok. Let me know when your done Keira.” said Noah with a smile who then begins to head into one of the spare bedrooms.

Keira with a kind smile, “Hey Noah. How old are you?”

“Twelve years of age.” replied Noah. “How old are you?”

Keira still smiling, “Fifteen years of age.”

“Neat!” said Noah who smiled back.

Keira still smiling, “I’ll let you know when I’m done with my bath.”

“Ok” said Noah who then heads into one of the spare bedrooms with his bag.

Keira then closes the bathroom door and prepares to take her bath.

As Noah settled himself onto the bed, he noticed a television in front of him that is hooked to the wall.

“I wonder what this does thing does...” Wondered the white and black haired boy.

Noah jumps out of the bed and walks towards the television to see how it works. Once he got to the T.V, he pushed the power button, not knowing, and the television turns on. The logo said on the screen ‘Yokia’.

Noah raising an eyebrow confused, “Yokia?”

After the company logo faded away, a channel showed up and it showed a news channel with a blonde-haired woman with blue eyes on the screen. She has white dress shirt with tan work pants and black boots on.

“Hm? Wait…is this one of those television’s the books showed me?” said Noah who asked himself the question.

Noah picks up the remote to the T.V and looks at it. On it consists buttons to the T.V.

Noah staring at the remote in his hand,” I wonder what this does...” He then presses the pause button on the remote not knowing what it was and the T.V then pauses.

The woman on the T.V screen has on a big grin showing her white teeth as she was done with her news report.

“Maybe I’ll draw her while I wait.” Said Noah who then takes out his portfolio.

The boy takes out his gray lead and starts drawing the blonde woman from the television as he waits for Keira to exit the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Keira is lying in the tub full of bubbles while in deep thought.

“Hm… I wonder what social class he’s in...” wondered Keira.

After a couple of minutes of bathing, Keira finishes her bath. She drains the tub, puts on a towel, and heads towards Noah’s bedroom.

“Shimi-san! I’m finished!” said Keira who then knocks on the boy’s door.

Noah still drawing the blonde woman with a smile on his face, “Come in!”

Keira opens the door and walks in. She then sees Noah drawing in his portfolio.

Keira with a small smile on her face, “Hey what are you drawing?”

Noah replied while looking back up to the television screen, “I’m drawing this lady here on this television.” Soon he finished his drawing and has every detail of the woman from the television drawn.

Keira walked over to Noah and looks at the photo. “Wow…that’s brilliant work. How long did it take you to draw this?”

“About 20 minutes.” said Noah with a smile on his face.

Keira’s smile widens a bit as she had a mischievous idea in stored since she found out Noah has great artistic skill.

“Say…would you mind drawing me?” asked Keira who still has the naughty grin on her face.

Noah oblivious to grin, “Sure. How do you want me to draw you?”

Keira thought for a moment before answering the spiky somewhat long haired boy’s question.

“Give me five minutes to get dressed.” Said Keira who runs out of Noah’s room and into her own.

“Ok?” said Noah who is confused as he pushes his hair out of his eyes.

Noah hops of the bed and takes out everything he owns in his duffle bag.

The things that were inside the duffle bag and on the bed, are a white shirt with three buttons on it, a pair of tan pants with two buttons on the front, a pair of tan suspenders, black nearly worn out boots, an extra portfolio with drawing pencils, a white tank top with a pair of dark blue martial arts pants and a pair of black martial arts shoes, and a white wrap around belt.

Noah sorting everything out, “Now where will I put everything?”

After five minutes, Keira came back wearing a dark green night gown with knee high white see through socks on. Her hair was done in a ponytail.

“Ok I’m done Shimi-san.” Said Keira who walked into the bedroom.

Keira notices the things that are on Noah’s bed. “Hey. Is that your belongings?” Keira asked.

Noah while still sorting everything out, “Yes.”

After Noah sorted out his things then decided to put them all back into the duffle bag in a neat pile, he got his pencil and portfolio in his hands.

“Ok. Just lie on the bed.” Said Noah who pointed to the bed.

Keira walks towards the bed and lies down on it, resting her head onto the pillow and putting her right hand next to her face, looking at the boy.

Noah with a smile on his face getting ready to draw, “Just keep your eyes on me ok?”

Keira giggled a bit and does what she was told. Noah then starts drawing her.

As Noah is drawing Keira, she stares directly at him with a blank face but on the inside, she’s smiling.

“So, serious.” Said Keira with a teasing smile.

Noah simply blushed a bit as he continued to draw Keira. After twenty minutes of drawing, Noah finished his drawing.

Noah setting down the pencil led, “Ok the drawing is done now.”

He gives Keira the drawing and stretches his arms and legs.

“Wow…” gasped Keira. “This is really good!”

Noah while stretching, “Thanks!”

Keira puts down the drawing on the night stand and watches Noah finish his stretching then grabbing a towel.

“Anyway…I’m going to bed. We got a big day tomorrow.” yawned Keira who gets off the bed and stretches her sides.

“Yeah” said Noah who then leaves the bedroom and heads into the bathroom to take his bath.

After a couple of minutes of bathing, Noah finished his bath. He exits the bathroom and walks to his bedroom with the towel around his waist.

As he enters the bedroom, Noah finds Keira lying on his bed looking through the drawings in his portfolio.

Keira very impressed with her eyes glued to the portfolio, “Were these drawn from life?”

“Yep. I don’t know how but somehow I just have an interest in art.” Replied Noah who sits beside Keira with a small smile on his lips.

“Well…you have a gift Noah…you...well you see people.” Said Keira who looks at light brown skinned boy.

Noah staring into Keira’s blue green eyes,” I see you.”

Keira with a mischievous smile, “And?”

Noah still staring into her eyes with a nearly blank expression, “You’re not like most girls I’ve read in those books. You’re different.”

Keira’s playful smile dropped halfway as she realized that Noah needed some pajamas and she needed to go to bed.

Keira standing up and pointing at the dresser,” There’s pajama’s in the dresser over where the ‘box with the lady’ is. I’ll see you in the morning. Good night Shimi-san.”

“Night Keira.” Said Noah who watched Keira leave the room and head into her own.

Noah dried himself off and decided to sleep in his t shirt and boxers. He then turns off the light and gets in bed.

Noah in thought, “I wonder what the city is like…” he then drifts off into slumber.

Tomorrow was a big day for the youngsters.
