Here the next chapter. So far I'm up to 12 chapters. Well enjoy.
Chapter 9: Kenneth vs. Amber
Amber stretched as she got up for the building she had been sitting on. It had been hours and still no sign over them. She thought Logan would have attack her by now for sure. She decided to move to another spot. She jumped from roof top to roof top watching the people below. Courtney followed complaining about how her tail had fallen asleep from sitting to long. Amber rolled her eyes. Matt had wanted Amber to take Courtney with her just so he didn’t have to put up with her. Amber stopped making Courtney bump into her.
“You shouldn’t just…”
Amber put a hand over Courtney’s mouth to keep her quiet. Amber had spotted something moving, but she wasn’t sure what it had been. It moved to fast.
“Stay here,” Amber ordered and headed in the direction of the object she had spotted.
When Amber got close enough she moved slower and carefully. She slowly started around the corner when Kenneth fist slammed into her face. It knocked her ground. Amber put a hand on her face.
“Who in the hell are you?” she demand.
He smiled.
“The name Kenneth and Logan has told me all about you, Amber.”
Amber froze.
“He couldn’t make it out so he sent me to play with you.”
Amber quickly got to her feet and his fist hit the spot where she had been sitting. She quickly climbed the wall to get the roof. Kenneth followed. Courtney who had been watching ran off to get Matt as Amber jumped from roof to roof. Kenneth followed her closely. He threw a fireball. It hit Amber and she fell to the ground. Amber landed on her feet in the middle of the street. The humans, seeing a dragon, ran away. A car screech to haul just inches from Amber.
“Dragon ran for your life,” she heard the humans scream.
Kenneth jumped down and landed in front of Amber. Amber got into she fight stans. Kenneth charged Amber. She duck and punched him in the stomach then used her tail to grab his foot tripping him. She stood up her tail still holding on. His raise a hand and fired a fireball. It hit her in the stomach forcing her to let go. She flew through a store window.
* * * * *
Courtney found Matt. He looked over at her as she came up.
“Courtney? Where’s Amber?”
“She’s fighting another dragon. He has brown hair and scales and golden yellow eyes.”
Matt just blinked.
“Come on she might need help.”
“Not likely,” said Yusuke as he and the other came around the corner.
“Amber’s tough. She can handle herself,” said Kurama.
Matt nodded in agreement.
“True, but can she win against an immortal dragon?” Matt thought out loud.
They quickly ran to get to the fight.
* * * * *
Amber picked herself up from the glass grabbing a few piece. She threw one of the pieces. He didn’t even dodge. The piece dug into his heart. He laughed and pulled it out.
“Very resourceful,” he said tossing aside, “Maybe you should aim for here.”
He pointed to the place where the gem was. Unfortunately, it was in his tail. He laughed again.
This is to give you a better picture of how the dragons in my story look. This dragon before you is supose to be me (Amber). Well enjoy the rest of your day. ^_^

Chapter 8: Breakfast
Amber did not sleep very well. She had gotten a few hours at the most. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and stood. She walked to the kitchen and opened a cabinet only to find in empty. Well she expected at much. She walked out of the kitchen and when down the hall. She stopped at the door leading to Matt’s room. She knocked then went in without waiting for him to answer. She walked over to the bed and kicked it. Matt opened one eye.
“I’m going to get breakfast. Is there anything you’d prefer?”
He closed his eye and waved a hand. Amber kicked the bed again.
“Is there anything you’d prefer?” she repeated.
The groaned and rolled over.
“Whatever would be fine,” he said went she kicked the bed again, “Now go away.”
Amber headed for the door.
“Yusuke and friend are coming over. Keep an ear out for them,” she said as she left the room.
Amber walked down the hall and out of the house. She stretched out her wing and flew into the sky. Amber had never flown before she had become a dragon and with all the things that had happen after nine-eleven she hadn’t really wanted to. Nine-eleven, Amber thought. It had been over five hundred years or more since that had happen. She wondered if the American humans read about in their history classes. Amber looked down at the ground. She watched as the building became fewer and fewer.
She landed in a by field close to town and walked around trying to spot something she could bring back. Several minutes passed before she spotted a rabbit. She moved in quietly and grabbed it. It squirmed around in her hand as she once again took to the sky. She landed in front of the house she called home and went in. She stopped as something caught her nose. The rabbit she had yet to kill squirmed in her hand. She went to the kitchen to see Yusuke and the other were there. Matt was by the stove.
“Yusuke and friend brought us breakfast.”
Amber looked down at the rabbit.
“Then what am I to do with this?”
Matt turned and looked at the rabbit.
“We’ll eat that too. They didn’t bring any meat with them.”
Matt walked over and took the squirming rabbit. He then snapped it’s neck.
“That inhumane,” said Kuwabara.
“Well that’s ok I’m not human,” Matt said smiling, “Amber be a dear and go wake up Courtney.”
“I’ll try, but it’ll be hard to be anything other than a dragon.”
Matt rolled his eyes as Amber left the room.
“I don’t think I’ll ever understand you dragons,” said Kuwabara, “I mean it’d be easier just to steal.”
Matt grabbed a knife and began to take the fur off the rabbit using his tail to cook the other food.
“Stealing is wrong besides catching your own food gives you a sense of reward,” Matt looked over at Kuwabara, “Not everyone can catch a rabbit without killing it. Humans would have to shoot it.”
“And you taught Amber everything she knows,” said Yusuke rolling his eyes.
Matt eyebrow rose.
“Sorry if I sound self-centered, but I did for the most part. She had to learn how to be a dragon one way or the other. The other way just might have killed her. Besides,” Matt turned back to the rabbit feel a bit bad, “I was the one who had to bite her. Sure if I had she would have died, but still…”
“I don’t blame you Matt,” said Amber walking back into the kitchen with Courtney behind her.
Courtney sat down at the table looking unpleased for being woken up. Amber put the side of her hand in her mouth to stop the blood.
“What happen to you?” asked Kurama.
“Courtney bit me.”
“Serves you right waking me up,” Courtney said.
Amber sat down beside Courtney. Matt finished skinning the rabbit and put it in the pan. A few hours later they all ate.
Matt and Courtney were about ready to face the Dragon Committee when Amber showed up. Matt glared at her. He thought she’d stay with the others. She landed in front of them and held up a hand.
“We’re stronger in numbers,” she said then turned to Courtney, “Don’t say a word when we’re before the Dragon Committee.”
Courtney nodded.
“Am…” Matt started to say, but the doors opened.
“They are ready to see you now,” said a female dragon.
They walked in and went in to the middle of a circle that was drawn on the floor.
“Why is it that you have come?” asked Artamus, the head dragon.
Matt step forward.
“There’s a big problem sir.”
“Does it in valve the humans again,” said Hector.
“It possibly could. We’re not sure at this point. We just know it’s a problem and it’s big.”
“You don’t know. Stop wasting our time then,” said Vicky.
Amber stepped forward.
“Someone, a dragon, has pieces of a gem called the Gem of Life and is reviving dead dragons. This could mean the end of everything we know. Million of humans and dragons could get hurt and worse die.”
“What proof do you have?” asked Hector.
“Yes show us some proof that you speak the truth,” agreed Vicky.
Amber thought of show her arms, but knowing them they dismiss it as not enough proof. She looked at Matt. He shrugged his shoulders. Amber stuck her hands in the pockets. Her hand hit the folded paper. She brought it out and stared at it. From the toon world, she thought then it hit her.
“Proof here’s your proof,” she said and gave it to Artamus.
“A piece of paper,” he said.
“That’s not just any piece of paper sir. That piece of paper is written in dragon and it came from the toon world where, I might add, the gem had shattered.”
Matt glared at Amber. She gave him a ‘we’ll talk later’ look.
“And were would you get such a piece of paper?” demanded Vicky.
“I bet you wrote it yourself,” said Hector.
“I can barely read dragon let alone write it and if you must know I got it from a human officer.”
“A human?”
“They got a dragon holding facility there in the toon world. That piece of paper came from there.”
Vicky opened her mouth, but Artamus held up his hand.
“She speaks the true for it not just a piece of paper, but a page from a dairy. It reads: ‘I’ve finely found a way to escape from this place and when I’m free I’ll find my sister and revive her use this fragment of the Gem of Life. It’s the same gem she was going to use to destroy the humans two hundred years ago. Needless to say that when she is revived she’ll want to get revenge. We’ll first destroy all dragons who will stand in our way along with those dragons that have great power over the dragons in the world then the human.’ Tell me woman, what do you know of this gem?”
Sister, Amber thought. Matt nudged her. She looked up at Artamus.
“The Gem of Life beings back those who have been dead.”
“I know that mush from reading this. What I want to know is how you knew about it and how you knew it was in pieces?”
Amber looked at Matt. He stepped back leaving her there alone to answer the question. She looked back at Artamus.
“I found out about it two hundred years ago. Eve was going to use is to destroy the humans. I, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei shattered it into piece in order to kill her.”
“So it was you! You who put us in danger!” yelled Vicky, “Why couldn’t you have just let them kill the humans and be done with it!”
“Who is Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei and how did you even get into the toon world?”
“First, I could not, will not let the humans be killed. Why? Because I was human once and two not all humans hate dragons. Second, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei are anime characters from a show called Yu Yu Hakusho that I watched when I was human. Third, I don’t think you need to be informed of how a dragon becomes a toon, but if you do then I just bit Kurama. Since he’s a toon, I transformed into what you see before you now,” Amber said so calmly it made the other dragons nervous, “Look, if you’re not going to help then say so because you’re wasting my time!”
Matt put a hand to his head. She just had to lose her temper, he thought bracing himself for rejection.
“Since you feel so strongly about helping these humans we’ll help you,” said Artamus smiling.
“What?” the rest of the dragons said.
“This young dragon here just reminded me of how we all had been humans once and that not all humans are hate us. If they can give us a chance then it’s the least we can do, right?”
They nodded.
“You can leave now, but keep in touch.”
“Yes sir. Thank you sir.”
Amber, Matt, and Courtney went outside. Matt laughed.
“I can’t believe you did it. I thought Artamus was going to kill us.”
“Yeah well he’d have to wait in line for me. Logan’s got dibs already,” Amber huffed, “Let’s go back and get some rest.”
They all flew home.
Hmmm...I starting to wonder what's the story behind Eve's brother. I'm really just making this up as I go (like all stories). I don't even have a name for him. I guess I'll have to start coming up with something. Well I post the next chapter when I get the next chance and sorry this chapter is kind of long (and it not going to be the last long chapter sorry). Laterz
Matt was sitting on the couch watching the news when Amber came in. He didn't look up until she turned off the television. His head whirled around to her so he could yell at her face to face. The words caught in his throat when he saw her.
"What wrong?"
She didn't say anything instead she when into the bathroom to get bandages. She came back and sat beside him and handed him the bandages. Matt didn't asked questions. He just sat there as Amber worked in her head. Finely she sighed.
"Logan's back," she blurted out.
Matt's hands stopped and he looked her in the eyes.
"A fragment of the Gem of Life did it."
"A fragment uh. The gems more powerful than we thought."
Matt thought for a few seconds as his hands started moving again.
"Dammit and there's a whole bunch of them too. Amber this is going to go way over our head here."
"Not to mention that someone had to implant the gem fragments as well. Matt, do you think that they were all brought back?"
"Of course. Amber, you've got to warn Yusuke and the others. I'll get Courtney and see if I can find out about who brought them back. There's bound to be something. I'll also talk to the Dragon Committee."
"They didn't do anything last time so what makes you think they'll do anything this time."
"I've got to try Amber. Who knows how many dragons they now have on their side?"
Amber sighed and got up as Matt finish bandaging her wounds.
"Fine, but I don’t think they’ll do a damn thing."
Amber started out the door.
"Amber, be careful."
She nodded her head and flew away.
* * * * *
Kurama woke up to someone tapping on the glass of the window. He looked over and saw Amber. He quickly opened the window.
"What are you doing here?" he whispered.
"I've something you guys need to know," she said climbing in through the window.
Kurama yawned.
"Can't it wait until morning?"
Amber just stared at him. He seen something in her eyes and was now fully awake.
"What's wrong?" he said starting to worry.
"What I have to say is best said to everyone that way I don't have to repeat it."
"Right. You wait in the living room while I wake up Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei."
Amber did as she was told and waited in the living room.
"What the big idea of waking us all up at this hour of the night," complained Yusuke.
Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama were right behind him. They got a good look at her and were pretty sure she hadn't been wound when they'd seen her earlier.
"What's up?" asked Kuwabara.
"You guys remember what happened two hundred years ago?"
They nodded.
"Well they're back. They've used the fragments of the Gem of Life and now they're back. I knew because I had a run in with Logan."
They gasped, well all, but Hiei.
"More bad news, someone had to implant the fragments by hand and there are who know how many fragments they could have a lot of dragons behind them. Matt and I thought you guys should know since you helped us last time. They will be looking of revenge and that’s a fact."
"We beat them last time and we can do it again," said Yusuke.
Amber didn't look convinced.
"I don't know Yusuke. This is going to go way over our head here. We might not come out of this alive."
"Like that's ever stopped us before," said Hiei.
Amber looked down at the bandages on her arms.
"I don't want to die," she said surprising not only herself, but the others as well.
The tears started down her cheeks surprising everyone even more. Amber had never cried since she had become a dragon. She'd learned not to. Kurama's arms when around her. She started to pull back, but decided to give in to the comfort resting her head against his chest.
“I’m sorry guys,” she said as she stopped crying a few minutes later.
“Everyone needs to cry a little soon time,” said Kurama letting go, “Anyway there’s nothing we can do to night so let’s get some sleep.”
The other guys nodded. Amber started for a window.
“Amber, you can stay here if you want,” said Kurama.
“It might be better that way,” said Hiei.
“Staying in a human dwelling makes me nervous so just meet me at the house tomorrow.”
With that Amber flew off into the night.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Have fun and try not to eat too much. Wait...what am I saying. todays the day were your supose to eat to much. ^_^ Well then just have fun.
Amber walked with Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei as they headed back to their hotel. She'd walk with them as far as she could. They came to the streets filled with humans. This was were she'd have to say good-bye to her friends. She waved to her friends as she turned around. She started for home before remembering she had someone to meet so she opened her wing and took to the sky. She flew to the back of the police station.
"You're late," said Officer Aaron.
He had long black hair, which he kept tied back and blue eyes.
"Sorry Officer. I had friends over," she replied.
His eyebrow lifted. Amber smiled.
"Even dragons have friends."
"I never said they didn't."
Amber tilled her head. Aaron sighed. Amber found humans both fascinating and irritating at times. They did so many crazy things and yet the some how always recovered.
"Here take a look at this."
Aaron handed her a folded piece of paper. She looked at it. It was written in dragon.
"You wanted me to come out here for decipher this?" asked Amber, "How'd you get it anyway?"
"Yes and it was sent to us from a dragon holding facility in the toon world."
"Why send it here? Couldn't they have one of the dragons decipher this for them?"
"I was wondering the same thing, but since they sent it I figured you could take a look at it."
"Well it'll take sometime to decipher. I'm not really good with reading dragon yet after all I was a human before."
"But you can do it, right?"
"Of course."
Amber folded the paper again and put it in her pocket.
"I'll get this back to you when I've finished."
Aaron nodded his head and went inside the building. Amber's ears twitched as someone laughed. An evil laugh. Amber turned around and saw a dragon. She recognized the dragon right away.
"Logan? You're alive? How is that passable?"
He just laughed. Amber got ready for a fight as Logan lunged for her. Amber did a back flip to dodge. As she landed Logan's claws dug into her arms. She cried out as pain seeped into her body.
"Don't worry Amber. I'm not here to kill you just yet. No I want to play with you a little more."
Blood started to drip down her arms.
"How? I killed you," she repeated.
"Oh you did kill me," he smiled, "and when I'm finish with you, you to will know what it's like to die."
"HOW?"
The shock was wearing off, Logan noted.
"The Gem of Life."
Logan read Amber's eyes before she could speak.
"A fragment from the Gem of Life since you and you friends shattered it."
Logan pushed Amber to the ground.
"Your life is now numbered. I will kill you make no mistake about that."
With that said smoke appeared around Logan and then he was gone. Amber picked herself off the ground and flew home.
Here the next chapter and there's another new character. Her name Courtney and she a hand full. She always getting into touble in the story.
Chapter 4: Old Friends
Matt ran passed Amber chasing his newest student. Amber just turned of the book she was reading. The dragon was one hundred years old and enjoyed give Matt a hard time. She had short black hair and scales and brown eyes. She ran into a room and just as Matt was entering slammed the door on his face. He swore out loud.
"Courtney, you get out here now," he demanded.
Amber heard Courtney give him the raspberry. Amber held back a chuckle and continued to read.
"I mean it young lady."
"Go jump off a bridge," Courtney said through the door.
Matt's face turned red. Amber held back another chuckle.
"If you don't come out of there then I'm coming in."
Matt got ready to break down the bathroom door when a knock sounded at the front door. Amber looked up from her book. The knock came again.
"I'll get it Matt. You just go on destroying the house. It's already ran down anyway," Amber said setting her book aside.
"And what's that suppose to mean?"
"What's what suppose to mean?" said Amber playing it dumb.
"Just answer the door," he hissed.
Amber did just that and was surprised to Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei.
"Hey along time no see," said Yusuke as Amber stepped back to let them in.
"What's all that yelling for?" asked Kuwabara.
Amber led them to the living room. She sat in the chair she'd been sitting in.
"Courtney's giving Matt a hard time."
"Who's Courtney?" asked Kurama.
"She Matt's new student. He's trains new dragons theses days."
They heard a big splash followed by more swearing. Amber held in that same chuckle. Matt came around the corner dripping from head to toe. Amber finely gave into the chuckle and busted out laughing.
"Oh, ahahah," Matt mutter as he walked passed.
Amber wiped a tear from her eye.
"You know," she said in between breaths, "you catch more with sugar and vinegar."
Matt glare at Amber so she took a deep breath and held it until the chuckles were gone.
"If you're nice maybe she'll stop giving you a hard time."
"Ok then miss smarty pants let see you try."
Amber got up.
"Don't mind if I do."
She started for the back rooms and saw Courtney duck into one of the three bedrooms. Amber walked into the room and a pillow hit her in the face. Amber spit out the feather the pillow had leaked all over her. She then looked around the dark room. She walked over to the dresser and picked up rock that sat there. What are rocks doing in Courtney's room, she wondered. Amber's ears twitched and in one movement, she threw the rock without really meaning to.
"Ouch!" Courtney cried out.
"Ops," Amber said chuckling.
"OPS! That's it! That's you have to say! You hit me with a rock and all you say is ops!"
"My bad."
Courtney glared at Amber.
"You did that on purpose!"
"Not really, but it'll teach you not to have rocks in your room."
Courtney saw red and charged at Amber. Amber stepped out of the way and Courtney ran into the dresser with a thud.
"Lesson One: Think before you act," Amber said, "Thinking the best tool anyone has."
Courtney beared her teeth to show Amber she meant business. She swung her fist at Amber. Amber dodged easily.
"Lesson Two: Don't get a hotheaded in battle. Clam and clear is the way to win."
"Shut up," Courtney said charging Amber again.
Amber punched Courtney hard in the stomach. Courtney hit the wall and fell to the floor. Courtney lifted her head up and her eyes met with Amber's.
"Lesson Three: Respect your elders and teammates. You might be strong individually, and as a team you'll be stronger."
Courtney's head fell down as she passed out. Amber picked her up and placed her in bed. Then went and joined the others.
He stopped running. Surely the guards wouldn't have chased him is far in the dead of night. He sighed and dropped to the ground. He'd been working all day without rest, but he wouldn't have to anymore. He took out seven gem fragments his sister had sent him. She said it was a piece of the legendary Gem of Life. He stood up. Each gem had just enough energy to bring back one dragon and he knew just what dragons he was going to bring back.
He walked a mile or two farther before he came to a castle. He pushed opened a huge silver door. He walked to a wall and pushed a brick aside and the wall slid open. He walked down the passage until he came to a big room. He could see the remains of what had been dragons, though it was just their scales. Dragon scales are like rocks so they can stay around a long time.
He placed one of the six fragments into the first pile of scales. The scales starter to glow. The glowing took the form of the long since dead dragon. The dragon had black hair and scales. He opened his blood red eyes and looked around. He saw the dragon with brown hair and scales.
"Logan, take these and revive your fallen friends," said the dragon with brown hair and scales.
Logan nodded and picked himself off the ground. He took five of the remaining six fragments and left the room. The other dragon moved to the next pile. He placed his remaining fragment in the pile. He watch the as the same thing happen to this pile. The dragon hair white hair and scales. She opened her pink eyes. He smiled.
"Eve, sister how do you feel?"
Eve looked into the eyes of her brother.
"Ready to kill. How long has it been?"
"Two hundred years. Sorry I would have been here sooner, but I had a prison to escape from."
"What about..."
"Logan's waking the others."
Eve and her brother waited for two hours before the six other dragons entered the room. Logan bowed down on one knee.
"Sorry it took so long. We had trouble locating Rosa."
Rosa had red hair and scales and green eyes. She stepped forth and bowed with Logan.
"I hope I can be of more help than before."
Eve's brother smiled and nodded. The other female dragon stepped forth and bowed. She had blonde hair and scale and purple eyes.
"Sugar here. I'll do anything to get revenge on Hiei."
Another dragon stepped forth and bowed. He had brown hair and scales and blue eyes.
"I'm Cameron and I'm at your service."
Yet another dragon stepped forth and bowed. He had red hair and scales and blue eyes.
"Names Keith and I'll go anywhere you want me to."
The last dragon stepped forth and bowed. He had brown hair and scales and golden yellow eyes.
"Kenneth's my name and killing's my game."
"Well, shall we head to the real world and destroy a civilization," said Eve's brother and laughed.
Since I'm on for a little while I'll go ahead and post the next chapter. I hope you'll enjoy. I really like you to tell me how good or bad it is that way I can improve. Well enjoy.
Chapter 2: Reflecting
Amber sat there on top of the Holiday Inn looking down at the city of Cheyenne, Wyoming. She was now a five hundred years year old dragon and still in the prime of her life. Her hair was silvery white and her eyes a golden yellow. They had always been that way. Two hundred years ago, her hair had been brown and her eyes hazel blue-green and she would have stay that way if it hadn't been for Eve. Eve had been a troublesome dragon. She had been the main reason Amber was a dragon in the first place. She was also the reason why Amber looked the way she does now.
"I guess that what you call irony," Amber said out loud.
Eve had wanted to turn all humans into dragons. Amber's friend, Matt, had stopped Eve once with the Dragon's Eye Gem. It was a gem that put a dragon to sleep as long as the dragon was wearing it. When the gem was removed the dragon woke up. Amber believed that Logan had been the one who had removed the gem. Logan, Amber thought as her eyes narrowed. He'd been a nasty dragon as well, much tougher than Eve by far, but not nearly as twisted.
Amber raised a hand to her mouth. Even after all these years she could still tasted his blood. What she had done had been a normal dragon reaction. Still, she'd been careful ever seen and she swore she'd never bite another neck. Anyway, Amber thought, Eve had went into the toon world to make her plans forcing Amber to bite the neck of her favorite anime hero since only toon can enter the toon world. Her favorite anime hero was and still is, or at least one of them since she had many, Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. When a dragon bites a human the human turn into a dragon, when a dragon bites a toon the dragon turns toon, and, from personal experience, when a dragon bite a dragon the dragon that got bit dies.
So Amber went into the toon world and fought her way to Eve. Eve on the other hand had a perfect plan. She was going to use the Gem of Life to not only being back dragon who had been dead and use it so she wouldn't die. It was perfect, until Amber with the help of Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei managed to destroy the gem. Then together defeated Eve. Amber stood up and stretched. The only thing Amber didn't get was why did Logan, or if he did, wake up Eve. He would have been perfect capable of transform the humans into dragons himself. Well, what did it matter now. Eve, Logan, and the rest of their friends were dead and the Gem of Life had been shatter into a million pieces. Amber's wings went out.
"That's one gem the world doesn't need," she said as she flew into the sky.
