107Here's the 3rd chapter I promised to upload.
Chapter Nineteen
Miyako spun around still growling, but now was frustrated as well; she couldn't tell where exactly the imposter was. 'I'm getting nowhere, all I'm going is spinning around in circles' she lunged at where the thought the imposter was biting down hard at the first thing the felt but just got a mouthful of sticks and leaves. Spitting them out she turned around and nearly crashed into 'Kage?' she wondered, 'No this isn't Kage! Kage has longer hair and his eyes are deep sapphire blue, not emerald green.'
She fluffed herself up more, hoping to look bigger than she really was, "Don't try to come near me…" she threatened, "I don't know why you are, or why you're here, but go away."
He laughed, "I'm not leaving yet." A ring of fire began to form around Miyako, her eyes widened, "Then you must be…"
"Yes," he responded guessing the rest of her sentence, "I'm Kage's brother Kumara. A name that fits, seeing as it can be used to referred to a sun god. After all, I control fire," He was shrinking the ring of flame forcing Miyako to stand on her hind legs to prevent being scorched as Kumara continued, "And I will rule the world one day." A phoenix gracefully landed in front of him, "Now," he asked, "Are you going to come with me quietly, or will I have to take you by force?"
"If I do come with you," Miyako snapped, "you'll just kill me. I know that the only way you can take over the world is if my curse isn't cured."
Kumara smirked, "But do you know why?" Miyako tried to think up a quick answer but didn't have any luck
"It's because you have to kill me while you're a wolf. While you are a wolf you are the only thing, besides a special sword, that can kill a pureblood, and there's no way that you could get close enough to me with a sword, and even if you could," he drew his own, "I could easily kill you first, even as a wolf your reflects are much slower than mine."
"All the same, I'm not going with you."
Kumara sighed melodramatically, "Then I guess I'll just have to knock you out like my brother did," he added slyly. This caught Miyako off guard and found herself on the ground Kumara trying to subdue her.
She wriggled out from under him and tried to scratch him, but he quickly got up and was behind her again, the phoenix flying towards her. She instinctively ducked but was surrounded by a wall of flame once more.
'I'm going to regret this!' she thought as she jumped through the wall of fire and rolling of the ground trying to put out the flames that jumped onto her fur.
'I've got it!' an idea popped into her head, she ran straight for the large pond close by, it was deep enough that she could duck under, but not so deep that her paws couldn't touch the ground. Kumara chased her sending scorching balls of flame after her. She jumped in as soon as she saw it.
"Do you honestly think that will stop me?" Kumara demanded, "If that was all it would take then my brother would have moved the house to the center of the lake near it!" the Phoenix dove under the water again and again. 'What is he doing?' Miyako wondered, she looked at him questioningly but at the same time in an almost mocking way and was surprised to find him sitting comfortably against a tree.
"The pond has no source of water to refill it." he explained in a bored tone, "In a few more minutes it will be completely evaporated." Miyako, who had been crouching so she was up to her chin in water gasped and swallowed a lot of water coughing, and faintly heard Kumara yell triumphantly, "Now!" and that was the last she knew.
There'll still be one more chapter of story after this one. And I'm going to put up a chapter listing the people who reviewed while the story was in progress. I'll put up the next chapter...eventually . I'm lazy and will be busy the next few weeks.
