"Just how hard is training?" Kim wondered out loud as she and Ron walked down to the basement, "And where's Rufus?"

"Gah!" Ron cried, "I forgot Rufus at home!"

"Well, don't just stand there!" Kim cried, "Rufus is probably crying by now!"

"Be right back, KP!" Ron exclaimed, and ran to his almost deserted home.

As Kim waited, she began to explore the musty basement. It was very dusty, and old dolls from when Kim was a baby were kept inside a large duffle bag. She opened the bag and took out a rubber duck.

"I'll have to give this to the tweebs today." Kim said to herself.

Then, Kim felt something whip her ponytail on her neck. Kim whirled around. Nobody was there, but Kim sensed that someone, or something, was here. But what?

Kim was about to find out...

Searing red eyes glowed from a darkened corner of the basement.

"Who are you?" Kim demanded, dropping the rubber duck back in the duffle bag and standing up. She felt powerful energy throb against her blood veins.

"I am a demon from the center of the planet Earth." the voice rattled, "Which you humans know as the Earth's Core. According to the papers that the townspeople are reading as we speak, you are the next heir of the Power of the Blue Fox."

"And what do you want with that?" Kim scoffed, "You're a demon. You all ready have powers, what's the use of having mine?"

"Because with the Power of the Blue Fox," the demon said, stepping out of the darkened area, "Us demons become unstoppable, and have the ability to rid of you humans and team up with the villains that plan to take over this world."

Kim wrinkled her nose when she saw the demon. It had black, scaly skin from head to toe, sharp claws from the fingers and toes, searing red eyes, sharp, bloody fangs, and a long, scaly tail with a spiky ball at the end of it.

"Humph. I've seen worse creatures than you." Kim huffed, crossing her arms across her chest, "Do you really think you can get the Power out of me alive?"

"Not alive," the demon smirked, "But with you dead, then yes."

Kim gasped, and leaped out of the way as a blast of dark energy was shot towards her.

"It's a good thing I take cheerleading at school." Kim said to herself, "Aah!"

Kim leaped again as another blast was shot towards her.

Kim landed on her fours and felt the energy throb now ever harder. Something was about to be released. Kim knew it.

"What's the matter?" the demon taunted, "Think that you're not powerful enough to control the Power of the Blue Fox?"

"We'll just see about that!" Kim growled, standing up, "Take this!"

Kim held out her painful hand and shot a blast of blue and purple energy at the demon, throwing him to the far end of the basement.

Kim suddenly felt a bit older. For some reason, she just did. She felt like she was four years older. A teen.

"Kim!" Ron cried, opening the basement door, holding a small baby naked mole rat in his hand, "What happened?"

"I," Kim began, "Don't know."

"I will be back, princess," the demon vowed, "If it's the last thing I do, I will have the Power of the Blue Fox!"

Then, a the demon turned into black mist, and melted into the ground.

"Uh..." Ron began, "Perhaps we should get the training started?"

"Maybe." Kim said.

As the training went on, Kim still felt like she was four years older.

Then, when Kim was blasting another attack, she gasped when she saw her arm infront of her. For a second there, it looked more slender, and longer. Her fingers were also more slender, and her hand looked like her mother's.

"Kim, what's wrong?" Ron asked.

"Eep?" Rufus squeaked from Ron's pocket.

"Ron," Kim asked, looking down at her now normal hand, "Do you ever get the feeling that you're, like, four years older?"

"No." Ron answered slowly, "Why ask?"

"Uh," Kim said, "No reason. Just wondering. Let's get back into training."

How's it so far? Let me know! And, I got a flame review from a reader (I'm not mentioning any names here!), and, boy, I did not like it a bit! The reader said, "...Who would ever say something like that?..." and believe me, I was INSULTED! I mean, like I said before, if this was a television show or a movie, Alexis Bledel from Gilmore Girls will star as Kim. And I just try to think about how it would fit her. But, if I get flames like that, I might as well just erase this whole series and not even work on it. Or, I won't allow anymore flames. I'm just telling you to be careful with what you're saying in your reviews. I'm a very sensitive girl, I admit. But, how can I try to toughen up, when one or two people are throwing flames at me because of my stories? I'm just letting you know that if you can be a little more nicer with your reviews like Cali-Bunny and Lightening816 (Who are two of my most favourite authors and reviewers), then it would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have this whole story be erased, after all of the hard work I've been through. Especially when this idea actually came from a dream I had. I'd hate to throw it away. Well, until later, bye. :-(
