The love that each dragon had for his/her partner was a different sort of love, one that had no sexual component or condition or barrier. The outpouring of emotion was a rushing stream that swept through those partners.
The relationship was something of pet to owner, something of partners seeking to aid the other in life's little battles and the Senshi's bigger battles, something of a child to a parent.
Each dragon exploited an unused frequency within their Senshi's mana stream, part of the energies of their Senshi which flowed from a particular concept/planet.
The dragon of Mercury, Ami's Cinnabar, was a silvery metal-scaled dragon whose breath would send out little puffs of vapor from time to time.
Rei's Inferno was a brilliant red and scaled and tough-looking, a real fighter despite his current small size and thin build.
Hotaru's Amethyst was a lavender dragonet whose breath weapon was a coherent particle emission.
Akane's Chrono was black with green highlights, golden eyed and draped across his human's shoulders. He seemed to sense some need within his companion and was simply offering what comfort he could.
Makoto's Leaf was a dragonet of green and brown, whose yellow-white eyes seemed almost to glow from within.
Minako's Khrisos was entirely shades of gold, with eyes of brilliant blue.
Usagi's Selene was shades of white and pink, with eyes that were completely white themselves.
Arethusa, Michiru's dragonet, was blue and green and the shades in between.
The red-gold of Haruka's dragon looked more dignified than the somewhat mischievous air that the dragon maintained.
Each had the common abilities of these dragons. Telepathic bond with their partner, ability to open teleportational portals, their natural claws and teeth, flight, a certain degree of toughness. Each had a 'breath weapon' - a magical discharge that they could spew from their mouths.
Each had a singular ability of their own, which they would grow into - another side effect of the magic flowing through them.
Each also had something in common with the newly hatched of any such species - a healthy appetite and tendency to sleep for long periods.
Sailor Neptune reached up and stroked the head of her dragon and frowned. "This - is not what I expected."
"No, it isn't," agreed Uranus. "I saw memories of the apartment when I linked. Saotome doesn't have use of his legs."
"So we were sent to kill someone stuck in a wheelchair?" asked Neptune.
Uranus nodded.
Neptune considered that. "She attempted to fix the problem once herself, and failed, do you suppose?"
"She's why he's stuck that way, yeah." Uranus sighed. "So we have to shoot a fish in a barrel."
"Hardly seems fair, or sporting, and if he's a menace - then HOW is a mystery," said Neptune. "Pluto may be right, and that if he is removed - the menace facing us in the future will fade. The Inners have left, to exercise their dragons and feed them. He's alone, we could strike now."
Uranus frowned and decided.
