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.
