I don't really know what to say beside 'Here's the next chapter. Enjoy.'
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.
