Ryuu found himself in a vast black s.p.a.ce. There was nothing but endless darkness here.
"Where am I?" Ryuu tried to say but no voice appeared.
"Is this vacuum?" He thought.
"Wait, how did I get here? ..... Ah right, did all that really happen or is it just a dream? Can both of us really be together?" he was overflowing with questions and there were faint emotions pulsating.
But there was only silence in this world, not even his heartbeat could be heard.
"Wait, heartbeat?" Ryuu thought and looked down only to find his body that grew up to, what seemed, twelve years old.
"Wow, is this me in ten years?" He thought.
Then white flash appeared not far away from him and white female figure manifested.
That figure looked completely human except for spiky ears on top of her head and ten fox tails behind her - Green Black, Red Black, White, Blue, Golden, Silver, Red, Green, Purple, and Violet.
When Ryuu saw that form he was confused until vicious but gentle aura washed over him.
His focus immediately fell on those ten tails and familiar feeling surged within his heart.
Only at this moment did Ryuu feel his heart and from his lower dantian, extremely bright nine-colored sphere flew out expanding at astonis.h.i.+ng speed and swallowing everything in its path.
Humanoid form flashed arriving in front of Ryuu in an instant and like a wisp of ten colors integrated his body.
Ryuu only thought that marvelous feeling spread as he integrated this whole world covered in nine bright colors.
Previous female form transformed into pitch black dragon and grew to enormous size with a wingspan of over 20 kilometers and body covering his whole view.
That dragon's golden green eyes stared viciously at Ryuu who was floating below him.
From Ryuu's perspective, the big black dragon looked palatial like a planet and specific familiar power surged through his whole body madly rus.h.i.+ng through his veins dying them green.
It seemed like it rejected this nine colored world but that enormous black-green dragon was the core of this whole plane.
Next moment, the dragon reduced to one and a half meter and like a lightning bolt flew toward Ryuu.
Ryuu didn't resist because he felt that black dragon with bright green eyes is part of him.
As soon as black-green lightning hit him, it coiled around his whole body and after a few breaths, a marvelous transformation took place.
Pitch black scales with lime golden glowing sparkles appeared all over Ryuu's body resembling green stars in the endless sky and his eyes turned completely green flaring up madly and his pupils became vertical appearing more enchanting than the previous purple.
His hands turned into two ma.s.sive dragon claws each having five claws instead of usual four that appeared on most dragons.
There were green veins all over Ryuu's black scaled body and claw tips were pitch black but it seemed as if they were devouring everything in this s.p.a.ce.
All of a sudden, dignified voice spread through the s.p.a.ce "Asura Ryuu, do you accept Dragon G.o.d of Destruction as your Soul Spirit?"
"Yes!" with slightly deep but strong and domineering voice Ryuu answered with obvious excitement in his heart.
"Then, from this moment onward we form an unbreakable bond - a bond of Divine Soul and Spirit.".
As dignified voice spread through nine colored s.p.a.ce, all around Ryuu started s.h.i.+vering and nine-colored realm began fluctuating like boiling water.
A dignified voice once more resonated in this endless s.p.a.ce "Dragon G.o.d of Destruction, Asura Ryuu!".
A dignified voice resounded through endless s.p.a.ce like a tide.
After that voice ended, black scales retreated inside of Ryuu and his eyes returned to bright purple with circular pupils.
Just as he thought everything was over, nine colored s.p.a.ce broke like gla.s.s and nine dragons entered this s.p.a.ce.
Black Red, White, Blue, Golden, Silver, Red, Green, Purple, Violet. Nine dragons with separate colors respectively roared out to the black endless world.
"Asura Ryuu, do you accept Dragon G.o.d of Creation as your Soul Spirit?"
Ryuu was surprised and excited so much that he was already trembling.
"What's this? Second Spirit? Is this second spirit? Would they fuse?" He thought and regaining his senses, he said as before:
Dignified and deep "Yes!"
"Then, from this moment onward we form an unbreakable bond - a bond of Divine Soul and Spirit."
Ryuu became excited waiting to see what would happen after his second Soul Spirit fuses with his previous Soul Spirit.
"Dragon G.o.d of Creation, Asura Ryuu!". A dignified voice resounded once more.
If he could move at this time, Ryuu would certainly be jumping for joy.
Suddenly his body had a transformation.
The whole body was covered in diamond-like big nine colored scales where only on his claws there was a difference.
Each claw had a different color: Black Green, Golden, Green, Purple and Blue on his left claw and Black Red, Silver, Red, Violet and White on his right claw.
His left eye turned Golden Green while his Right Eye turned b.l.o.o.d.y Golden Red making him float there like a deity. Vertical pupils had extremely strong vortexes inside that could strip any being of its soul.
"ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" x 10
Ten dragons roared in unison spreading all kinds of various mood through the black s.p.a.ce.
At that moment "CRACK~" few loud cracks appeared, entire s.p.a.ce around him collapsing then being sucked in specular black armor similar to a black hole.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the real world.
Ryuu's body floated off the ground startling his future wife and mother-in-law.
On little fox, excited mood and joy was obvious as she looked at those ten dragons dancing in the air above the body of her future lover whereas she felt as if they were summoning something inside her.
She stared at those dragons waiting to see what would happen when all of them merged and integrated with Ryuu.
Next moment, the amazing scene took place; s.p.a.ce around Ryuu fiercely twisted like a paper being crushed ... "ROAR!" deafeningly strong and vicious dragon roar escaped Ryuu's mouth.
His body shone with ten colors looking like a small sun floating a few meters from the ground.
To their surprise, the sky began twisting and several dark clouds appeared directly over Ryuu.
In an instant, ten colorful thunderbolts madly pierced from the clouds. .h.i.tting right on the chest of a little body floating above the ground, helpless to do anything.
Exactly at that moment, Ryuu woke up.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" loud scream escaped his mouth.
"HNGGGG" he shouted "What is this, it hurts as h.e.l.l" little Ryuu screamed in agony.
Big fox was already shaking in fear unable to move an inch from that enormous oppression and it could only prostrate itself before Heaven.
On Ryuu's front, near the heart, appeared one black coiling dragon tattoo with golden green eyes.
It had long pitch black body coiling in a wavy circular pattern with rhombic shaped scales and bright green stars all over its body.
But on his back appeared nine colored winged dragon tattoo with Green and Red eye and its wings spreading across Ryuu's little body with dragon's tail reaching all the way to the bottom of his spine.
This dragon had diamond-shaped scales and two big ten colored claws and its horns were b.l.o.o.d.y golden red.
After a few breaths, Ryuu came down on the ground and clouds above him dispersed.
"That was painful" he exclaimed with quick breath trying to restore his normal rhythm.
As he got on the ground one white shadow jumped on him and they both fell.
"RYUU, I'm glad you are fine. What'd I do if something happened to you?!" little fox looked at Ryuu nailed to the ground and if it could, it'd certainly cry.
"It's okay, everything's okay don't worry. It pa.s.sed." Ryuu said rea.s.suring his little dear friend.
"What happened just now?" he asked.
Little fox sat near him and started narrating recent events that took place just now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why is Ryuu not back yet?" Haruhi asked her husband staring at dark clouds above the forest.
"Could something have happened to him? Dear should we go search for him?" she asked panic-stricken.
"Calm down, Haruhi. Ryuu will be fine I know it." Aito rea.s.sured his wife that their son is okay.
As time pa.s.sed, Ryuu was already absent from home for about ten hours.
"Aito, I feel like something happened to him. Those clouds looked dangerous. And those ten thunderbolts all hit one place ... what if..." here, she stopped and didn't dare finish that sentence.
"You worry too much dear, as I said we both know how strong he is, don't we. I'm sure he's just looking for that fox he mentioned earlier." Aito said.
"I hope you are right, but if he doesn't come back in three hours we are going to search for him okay?" Haruhi turned around looking at her husband with teary eyes.
"Okay, but only after three hours." Aito replied.
"You promise?"
"I promise, silly girl."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Both of you, come here." the big fox said.
Ryuu and little fox that were cuddling with each other got up and approached big fox.
"Are you certain about your decisions from earlier?"
"Yes!" Both of them answered at the same time.
"Good, then you need to do soul binding ritual now, are you ready?"
"What is that?" Ryuu asked.
"That's ritual where both of you embrace each other giving up yourself to your partner and connecting as one soul spiritually. After that, you can feel each other's thoughts and condition of your partner regardless of the distance.
There are also a few more useful functions of this ritual, but I'll leave that up to you to find out."
"Okay, I understand. I'm ready" Ryuu said.
"Me too" little fox shared her thought.
"Let me prepare necessary materials, you two go for a bit then come back after that we are going to your parents Ryuu".
"Eh, why?"
"You will be staying with me following four years until your dear lover transforms to human form. I'll be training you so that you can protect each other."
"I have one question." Ryuu said.
"Go ahead." big fox replied.
"How should I call both of you?"
Here mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"You can call me Akas.h.i.+ro*." the big fox said.
"As for her, you will give her a name during that ritual. Think about it carefully since she wouldn't be ordinary human anymore after she changes form. The name must be good or you will have to deal with me later, humph!" Akas.h.i.+ro sneered at Ryuu while saying last part.
"So I'm naming my own lover eh?" Ryuu thought to himself then said:
"Rest a.s.sured mother-in-law I'll pick the best name for her I can think of."
"You better do. Go now let me prepare everything." Akas.h.i.+ro said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ryuu, are you really okay with staying here four years?" the little fox asked
"Yeah, if it's with you I definitely won't regret it, haha." Ryuu said smiling shyly at his future lover, little white fox.**
"What do you think, how hard will the training be?" Ryuu asked.
"Since it's my mother, I'm sure it will be pretty harsh. Especially because she wants to teach us how to defend ourselves." the little fox said
"No matter what it takes, I'll protect you forever."
"Ryuu, is it me or did you grow up a bit?" the little fox asked.
Ryuu said "Eh, wait let me see" while standing up to measure his height.
When he noticed that he's a bit taller than little fox across him, his surprised smile instantly appeared.
"You're right, I'm higher five centimeters than before." Ryuu said pondering whether it was a side effect from awakening his Soul Spirit(s).
"Since my Spirit awoke, do you want to try running with me again to check if nine colored light will appear again?" Ryuu asked
Little fox instantly jumped and cheerfully replied "Yes, let's try" lowering her body a bit so Ryuu can climb up.
As soon as she began running powerful halo enveloped them but this time, it was different.
Not just nine colors appeared this time, there was tenth - another black with a few green sparkles.
When Ryuu felt that aura around him, his blood seethed with excitement and little fox disappeared with him without a trace.
They appeared about a hundred meters in front of their initial position.
"Did we just ..." little fox thought.
"Yeah, it seems like we did." Ryuu said.
"Wow, that was amazing." Fox said.
"Is that how spatial control works?" Ryuu thought to himself and decided to try again.
After he focused they disappeared again reappearing nearby, but only 70 meters from original location this time.
After Ryuu used this power the second time, he felt very tired like someone drained his energy more than half.
"It seems like I can use it only three times for now and range reduces with each consecutive teleport." he said.
"Don't overuse it we at least know what your current limits are." the little fox said.
"Ahem, you two lovebirds. Come back we are ready to go." Akas.h.i.+ro's voice resounded in their mind.
They looked at each other and ran off back to the predetermined place where ritual will be held.

* - Aka - Red, s.h.i.+ro - White. I don't know if it's good since I'm not from j.a.pan but if there is a better name for it, feel free to suggest.
** - (I know it sounds strange, please bear with it for now. For the sake of their love :D)
