Sun and Moon

Disclaimer - I don't own any of the Kim Possible characters, though Pyrolite is my own character/me sort of, in a way.

Authoresses notes - I have been writing shifting/were stories for who knows how long. And now I have thought that I would finally post it on fanfiction.net and it would be about Kim Possible. As you might've guessed, one of the main characters is my favorite from the shows! If you don't know who that is, just wait!

~ New Zealand ~

A shadow slowly made it's way up the jagged rocks on the mountains of New Zealand. Using quick reflexes and strong muscles it hoisted itself from rock to rock. It paused and stood when it had reached a particular rock. "It" took a good look around, touching the stone until "it's" hands felt a door and pushed, revealing a long, stone hallway with statues on the side of the walls of many animals. Fires flickered in their mouths, beaks and of the massive, stone creatures. The shadow walked through the hallway with no noise, almost gliding over the floor. The floor stopped and turned into a staircase, so the shadow jumped down in one massive leap, landing on all fours. The shadow, still remaining on it's knees, reached up and pulled back the hood to her cloak, revealing a teenage girl. She looked about fifteen, with short and spikey black hair. Her eyes were the first thing to be noticed. One was gold and the other an earth-toned brown. If you looked hard enough you could almost see fire dancing in her eyes. There was red paint smeared from her left jaw up to the cheek where it stopped/

Someone else, also wearing a cloak stepped down the stairs calmy, looking down upon her. The only thing visible through the shadows of the black hood of the person were ice-blue, intelligent eyes. The girl stood up and gave a big, toothy smile. Her canine teeth were slightly larger and sharper then regular humans. The figure also pulled his hood down. What was unexpected was that he had a pointed snout, beady eyes (blue, of course!) and his skin was a dull grey. Returning the smile, his snout pointed upwards a bit to reveal rows of sharp, jagged fangs that could almost peirce anything.

"So, Cosmos... What did you want from me?" The girl asked. The shark-like creature stopped smiling and a vertical-finned tail poked it's way out from under the cloak, slowly swishing in a serious-like manner.

The shark sat down on the stairs, along with the girl. "Our clan usually helps other shifters, and you have helped lots of them. Rishaii has found another."

The girl blinked her odd-colored eyes. "Don't tell me the little pussycat was out wandering the streets, was she?" The girl hated Rishaii, a member of the clan that usually betrays their serious rules about 'those' people that have pretty much destroyed the world with... science. She shuddered at the word, hating it for obvious reasons. A film-like eyelid shut over Cosmos eyes, like he was closing them.

"I know that Rishaii shouldn't be outside, especially when she belongs to our clan, Pyrolite. (Sound familiar, eh? : ) But it is hard to try to stay away from it. Anyway, she saw two people."

Pyrolite looked over at Cosmos, arms folded across her chest, still not happy with Rishaii. "She instantly knew one had to be our blood, she got the feeling we're all used to when you meet eachother like us." Cosmos continued, and Pyrolite stood up and looked down. "Look, we may be very serious about our clan, but all we are is a bunch of runaway shifters that realized what those...those HUMANS have done to the earth, putting almost every life in jeapordy and even hurting the earth and their animals. We don't have the same blood, we just have the same friggin' abilities! We have normal parents, that means were are all un-related.... CRIKEY!" She shouted, saying 'humans' like they were poisonous little demons.

~ city, New Zealand ~

A girl, about only twelve, was following two people she suspected of being 'her kin.'

Her name was Rishaii, but her 'human' name was Rebecca. She personally hated these human names, and thought that her clan names were much better. Rishaii really fits a cougar, she thought and continued to zero in on the prey. She walked slowly among the shadows, keeping a watchfull, green eye on that one person she suspected. Rishaii was stull unsure of what his phenotype was. If only she could get closer... and then they both stopped infront of an odd building. It was different and looked a bit rundown. One of them walked in, and a green light softly glowed through the windows. Blinking in curiosity, she dropped even lower to the shadows, slipping silently right up next to him, and continued to crouch for what seemed like hours. It was only a few seconds in real life, and then she was gone. The 'prey' looked around, feeling uneasy but there was nothing there. Rishaii was now behind the building after making a mad, quick dash for it on all- fours. She continued to breath silently. Now what was his phenotype? It felt a bit reptiley...

Then the second, younger person walked out of the building carrying some small remote-shaped thing. Then the sound of sirens filled the. Rishaii caught it before the two, having better hearing and ran off. Still having good hearing, she heard a murmur of the girl, talking to him. She caught his name and made herself remember. * * *

After making an easy climb, Rishaii was soon walking in a long hallway. She stopped and stared for a couple of seconds at the cougar statue and murmured under her breath something about the most beautiful statue. Then two people walked up to her. She recognized the first as the only shifter of her clan to be able to actually physical shift, Cosmos. Then there was Pyrolite, trying to stare holes into her skin by narrowing those freaky eyes of hers. Rishaii coughed. "What?"

After being lectured by Cosmos about regular 'humans' and then being thanked for finding out the name of the shifter they were going to 'help.'

Pyrolite was glad Rishaii had left.

Cosmos turned to her, and began the tail-swishing one again. "Even though we mean no harm to others shifters or people with a spirit animal we learned that this one is a criminal. He may use guns, but I doubt it. Shifters instinctively are either afraid or don't like guns. But we will anyway give you a weapon."

Pyrolite wasn't suprised. There were more then one clans, and they fought sometimes. They don't have 'human' weapons but ones ancestors used. Walking further through the clan caves and tunnels they made their way to the weaponry. The had passed a huge wall of sigils, paintings and symbols and a large room full of tons of shifters. That room was of course where everyone ate. They finally came to a circular room with wall hangings with warriors and beserkers. It was amazing that the humans were completely unaware of these wars and battles. There was a large crate full of only pebbles made for stone-slingers. Propped up against walls were spears, staffs, pikes, scythes, and rapiers. And on a shelf carved of wood (which was barely used) were assorted daggers, swords, cutlasses, scimitars and other blades. Cosmos turned to Pyrolite, who was poking a sword stupidly.

He coughed and Pyrolite looked up. "Oh, so what one do I choose?"

Cosmos shrugged. "Pick two, I guess."

Pyrolite randomly picked up a stone-slinger (she had trouble choosing between that or a bow and arrow) and a pouchful of river stones. Then she eyed a sword that looked tempting. It was simply carved rock but the edge of the blade were diamonds. Being sharp and unused for currency, they were simpley used for weaponry. The hilt was a rather simple, it was just wooden carved with a bandage-like wrap around it making it easy to grip. She picked it up, prepared for Cosmos glaring at her for choosing a weapon used by real warriors. But he never did.

"Nice choice," commented Cosmos and together they walked down the hall.

"It'll be hard following a criminal, but the hunt is not only fun, but easy for us shifters!" Pyrolite said happily, swinging the sword around like a stick. She almost cut off the head of a passing shifter who was about forty years old. "WATCH IT!" He shouted back and Pyrolite put it back in it's case, blushing. Cosmos steered her into the "cafeteria" (I don't know what to call it) and he sat down in a corner with her. "I'm hungry!" he claimed loudly and grabbed at least five hundred pounds of food while Pyrolite made faces as she ate only a small bowl.

'How can only one shark inhale that much?!' she thought, her mouth open and food dripping out. The two of them attracted alot of attention while shifters leapt to get more before Cosmos went for seconds.

Authoresses notes - I know that you think that this story will most likely revolve around pyrolite/me, Cosmos, and Rishaii but you are wrong. That was more like a very long prologue. Rishaii will never be talked about again, and I just wanted to get more things straight. You most likely don't know much about phenotypes, beserkers and all of that stuff. Well go to yahoo.com and type it. (If you look up phenotype either write shapeshifter or were infront of it.) Well, I bet you know who the new shifter is. Heh. I'm so obsessed with this show I have to write these kinds of stories about it. Kim WILL be in it and the next chapter will have TONS of the 'criminal' (MWA HA HA HA! IT'S FUNNY CALLING HIM THAT!) in it along with Kim, and Pyrolite eventually shows up.
