Chapter 3

Welcome to the jungle

Kyo Sohma was walking his usual path through the woods mumbling to him self about that stupid rat. "Kyo Sohma I wish to fight you." a masked figure jumped from the trees in front of him "ok, you bastard I need to work out some of my frustrations and you look like a good bag to hit." They began fighting; they blocked most moves but got in a few good ones. The masked figure backed off and held up his left arm. On it was a silver bracelet. The man then turned and said "show me your true form, Kyo before I rip those beads from your arm." He then ripped his bracelet off and began to change. The mans body grew more muscular and sandy hair and black strips formed on his arms; he then took off his mask. Kyo was shocked, the man had a tiger face! The tiger then spoke to him "come little kitty and play with Tigoar." "Alright you stupid bastard." Kyo said in rage as he took off his beads. Kyo then began to change into his true form that of a cat like monster. They began to fight again, and Tigoar spoke up as he fought and easily dodged Kyo "you don't use that body often do you?" Tigoar then came at Kyo and kicked. Kyo flew and hit a tree, Tigoar then looked down on the boy "you are not worthy of protecting her, you will train with me until you beat me in that form boy." Kyo then looked at Tigoar "why the hell should I" Tigoar then went to a tree and smashed it "you have that power Kyo Sohma, your other sensei is a good teacher, but he doesn't know how to handle your true form." Come every three days and I will prepare you for the tournament." Kyo was then puzzled "what tournament" "the tournament in which you will face me, in two months a tournament of shape shifters will commence."

"So what exactly is this tournament? Before I make my choice, I need to know what I'm facing." Kyo asked Tigoar. "Every 3 years a tournament is held for people like us." He then gestured toward Kyo "reason being is to find out who the strongest is. Now I leave you to make your own choice." Tigoar then leapt to one of the trees and disappeared. Kyo then put on his beads and changed into his human form and left for Shigures.
