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.
