The thing Matt gave Amber started beeping giving Amber a good scare. She dug it out of her pocket.
“Matt? What is it?”
“The World Dragons Committee won’t help save the humans.”
“I didn’t think they would.”
“I spent an hour trying to talk to them. I swear they’re the biggest pigheaded dragons in the world.”
“I could disagree with you there.”
“How are you doing?” Matt asked ignoring Amber’s remark.
“We’ve walk for an hour and haven’t seen a thing.”
“That’s no good.”
“I know.”
“Well, I’ll check in again.”
“Matt, not to soon or I’ll start to think that you don’t trust me.”
“You got it.”
Amber put the device back into her pocket and sighed. It wasn’t going to be easy for ether of them, but she wasn’t going to give up. The humans where counting on her. Amber’s stomach growled letting her know it was time to eat.
“Why don’t we stop and ate now,” said Amber.
“Yeah that sounds like a good idea,” said Kuwabara looking around, “Oh man.”
“What’s wrong Kuwabara?” asked Kurama turning to face him.
“We didn’t bring any food,” he replied, “How will we survive without food?!”
Amber rolled her eyes then sniffed the air. There was an animal nearby she could smell it. As the Yusuke and Kuwabara talked, well more like fought, Amber silently crept up and peered over some nearby bushes. It was a rabbit that she saw. With one fast movement Amber had the rabbit in her hand. Amber turn to the still fighting boys as the rabbit wiggled in her hand. Amber sighed and shook her head.
“Honestly, how are we going to win a fight if you two guys always fight?” Amber said and the boys look at her then to the live rabbit she held.
“Don’t tell me we’re eating that?” complained Kuwabara.
“Alright I won’t,” said Amber snapping the rabbit’s neck.
“That inhumane,” said Kuwabara.
Amber picked up some sticks from the ground with her tail. Then walk to the middle of the clearing and set the pile down. Amber lit the sticks on fire with her breath.
“You’re pretty handy, aren’t ya?” said Yusuke.
Amber smiled placing the rabbit over the fire to cook.
“When you’re a dragon for three hundred years, you learn how to survive.”
“So, do you always catch your own food?” asked Kurama.
“Yes, always.”
“Why don’t you just take it from the humans?” said Kuwabara, “It would be easier.”
“The easier way is always the right way.”
“Now you sound like Genkai,” said Yusuke.
“Then she’s a very wise woman.”
“Yeah right.”
Amber chuckled.
“I still don’t understand,” muttered Kuwabara.
“If I were to steal from the humans that would make me a thief. My parents won’t be happy with that,” Amber said taking the rabbit off the fire.
“Umm…but you’re parents are dead,” said Kuwabara.
“Yeah, I know.”
“So then what they don’t know won’t hurt them.”
“Yusuke!” Kurama whispered making sure to keep out of range of her keen sense of hearing, “Keep your mouth shut. You’re going to hurt her feeling.”
Amber gave everyone an equal part of the rabbit. The group had fallen into an uneasy silence.
By the way, make sure the read the other chapters. They posted too. Thanks. Laterz.
“If you don’t help the humans will gone,” said Matt to the World Dragons Committee.
The World Dragons Committee was a group of dragon leader from all over the world. They’ve been trying to put a lid of the whole dragon mess for years. To Matt, they were just trying to cover it up just like everything else they do.
“Let the humans deal with their own problem, we’ve enough on our plates as it is,” said the head dragon, Artamus.
“The humans will be no more.”
“The humans made their beds by treating dragons poorly so now they can sleep in them,” said Hector.
“So you’ll just let them fade from the Earth?”
“What have the humans ever done for us?” said Norman.
“They don’t deserve to be stripped of their humanity like this.”
“Don’t you think you’re overreacting?” asked Vicky.
“No! I think that I’m trying to help humans. After all didn’t we all come from the human race at some point in time?”
They just stared at him.
“Fine I’m done trying to get thought to you! I’ll find help somewhere else.”
“And what dragon in their right mind would help a human?” asked Hector.
For all those who don't want to wait I've add the next two chapter. Yes, you've heard right two chapter. I hope you'll enjoy them.
Chapter Six: The Mission
“Amber,” Matt said touching her shoulder gently.
“You were right, Matt. Transformations are painful, blindingly so.”
“I think it time for that decision now,” said Yusuke a little confused by what he just witnessed.
“Six years ago I fought a dragon who wanted to transform all the humans into dragons. I defeated her by using the Dragon’s Eye Gem. It’s a gem that puts dragons to sleep, the only fall back to that is you have to leave the gem with the dragon for it to be forever. When the gem is removed the dragon will awaken and it can be easily removed. I’m not sure how long Eve has been awake, but I’m sure she prepared this time around and she has the gem.”
“So it is personal,” said Amber.
“Why attack Kurama?” ask Kuwabara.
“He’s Amber’s favorite toon character when she was growing up and still is and I don’t watch cartoons.”
“That still doesn’t help,” said Hiei.
“Eve has also transformed into a toon and she has went into the cartoon world. You, being cartoons, know that only toons can enter so Amber had to transform into a toon,” Matt turned to Amber, “Amber, you must find the Dragon’s Eye Gem and stop Eve’s plan.”
“Don’t worry I won’t let you or the humans down because I know what is like become something you don’t want to be and I not talking about being a toon ether.”
“I know and I trust you’ll do what’s right. I’m going to find some dragons to help the people here, but that doesn’t mean take your sweet time.”
“Don’t worry we’ll help Amber,” said Yusuke.
“Good. We could use all the help we can get,” said Matt standing up, “Now go and remember you must not fail and take this with you,” he toss her a small object in the shape of a rectangle, “it will help us to keep in touch.”
Okay no pressure, Amber thought as she watched Matt fly away, no pressure at all. She turned to look at Kurama. Would he be able to forgive?
“Look, I’m sorry for tricking you like that, but I didn’t have a choice. It’s Matt that makes all the decisions not me.”
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll forgive you,” said Kurama as they headed for the gateway to the cartoon world.
Chapter Seven: Before the Gate
Amber stopped just before the gateway. She had always want this, but some how being a dragon made it seem insufficient. She had always wanted a lot of thing and now as a dragon she was getting some of those like talking to Kurama, going into the cartoon world, and saving the human race from certain danger, but it wasn’t as exciting as she had thought it would be. Maybe, Amber thought, it was because she wouldn’t have anything else to want. She sighed heavily as she started walking again.
“Human always want what they can’t have,” Amber said out loud, “then when they get it they find out it wasn’t what they wanted after all.”
“Sometimes it enough just to want with out getting,” said Kurama.
“And sometimes it doing whatever to get it,” commented Hiei.
“I think it not what you get, but how you get it that matters,” said Yusuke.
“Then there’s the things you’ll never have, for example, I’ll never have my family or friends again,” said Amber, “They’re gone and I can’t get them back.”
“You can never truly lose them if you still remember,” stated Kurama.
“The memories of them are too painful, even the good ones.”
They all fell into silence the only sound was their footsteps as they hit the concrete. The gateway was more like a tunnel, Amber thought, and a dark one at that. They walk for what seemed like hours before a bight light appeared.
“It’s about freaking time,” said Kuwabara running head.
As Amber stepped out of the tunnel she looked around. It didn’t look any different, Amber thought, but then again they just stepped out of the gateway so maybe it’s different deeper within.
“Hey, Matt,” Amber called from the bathroom, “How long will it take for me to transform?”
“It’ll take just a few minute for the blood to kick in,” he said as he leaned against the door, “You better get to were it’s less crowded.”
“Why?”
“Because transformations are painful. I know I’ve watch them.”
Amber followed him into the living room.
“Let’s see what’s on television.”
Matt look at Amber with his royal blue eyes, and one brown scale cover ear flopped over.
“News,” Amber said and he looked back to the television.
“There had been eight more dragon attack today and the police are afraid that they can’t do anything to stop them. There has been talk about the military coming in to exterminate the dragons once and for all, but doing this will leave million homeless.”
“What are they thinking saying that!” Amber shouted, “Have they totally lost it?”
“Maybe they want to start a war with the dragons,” a voice came from behind them.
“Yusuke,” Amber said as she turned around, “How did you find us?”
“It wasn’t easy let me tell you, but you tricked and attacked my friend. That was a mistake and you’ll regret ever making it.”
Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei stepped into the tiny run down house that Matt and Amber called home.
“I don’t suppose we could discuss this over some tea, can we?” said Matt.
“No,” said Yusuke charging at Matt.
“STOP!” Amber yelled and Yusuke’s fist stopped just before Matt’s face, “If we must fight then lets fight outside unless you don’t want to fight fair then please continue. I’ll just have to think that you boys, out numbering us and all, are afraid.”
“Ladies go first,” said Yusuke girding his teeth.
Amber led the way outside.
“Alright let’s get this party started,” said Matt.
“Couldn’t you be a little more serous about this,” Amber whisper, “I didn’t want to fight them in the first place.”
“And you think I did?” he told her, “What choice do we, Amber? Do you think they’ll just let us off?”
“Yes. They are the heroes of their show. If we explain I’m sure they would understand.”
“This is a problem between dragons, but seems like you don’t care.”
“I do care,” Amber shouted, “That’s why I’m saying this now and one more thing this isn’t just between dragons, there are humans involved as well or have you forgotten that!”
“No I haven’t!”
“Why is this problem so darn personal to you!?”
“I know that the decision is important to the both of you, but can we get on with the fight,” said Yusuke impatiently.
“That’s fine with me,” said Matt, who was all to glad to end the decision.
Amber turned her back to the fight and was almost attempted to leave. The only reason she didn’t was because she felt a bit dizzy. Her knees started to feel too weak to hold her and as a result she fell hard onto the ground. She put her hands on the grass so she was on her hand and knees. Her breath came out in gasps as sweat dripped down her face landing on the ground. She heard her name being called before the pain block out everything. Her beautiful hazel blue-green eyes change to a golden yellow. Her soft brown hair went to a silvery white. Amber laid in the soft cool grass while her head stopped spinning.
“I think he passed out,” Amber said wiping the blood from her mouth.
“That’s natural.”
Amber’s eyebrow lifted.
“Hey to save a life sometimes you have to do what you don’t want to do.”
“For example…”
“For example, you. You were beaten very bad and wouldn’t have lived if I hadn’t transformed you into a dragon. It was the same as when I first became a dragon too you know.”
“Really? I never knew that.”
“Of course, seeing as how I just told you.”
“Will those holes go away?”
“Before he even wakes up see they’re already closing.”
“We better go before he awakens and sees us standing here. I want him to think it was a dream.”
“Or a nightmare,” said Matt as they flew away.
Amber rolled her eyes then look back. Kurama was become a speck as she climbed higher into the sky. I’m sorry, Kurama, for betraying your trust, Amber thought.
“Matt, it’s getting late. I don’t think Kurama is going to come.”
“It’s not that late.”
“The sun’s setting and it’s getting cold. Lets go home and think of something else.”
“No the plan will still work.”
“What if he doesn’t come alone?”
“He will obey the wishes of someone who’s dying.”
Amber’s ears twitched as footsteps got closer. Then the smell of roses drifted on the breeze.
“Get into your place,” Matt whisper ducking into the near shadows.
“And what if it’s not him?” Amber muttered even though she knew it was him.
Matt didn’t answer.
“Oh, hello again. I wasn’t expecting you to be wait for me,” said Kurama when he saw Amber.
“Well my friend was getting worried.”
“Rea…” Kurama started, but smoke came from nowhere and he started to cough. Then a dragon jumped out from the shadow. Kurama pushed Amber behind him so he could protect her. The dragon looked straight at Amber. I know, Amber thought opening her mouth and releasing her fangs. Kurama didn’t know what was going on until it was to late…
My favorite place to go online (besides here) is
