Review:
Kenzi was rather happy for landing a hit even if it was on his shirt. In fact the shirt he had on was rather stupid. Grinning she lunged again but this time Tank saw what she was going to do and jumped just before she was close enough. As she looked around she felt something around her neck. There was just the slightest pressure before she heard Tanks' voice.
"Your dead." Tank couldn't help but grin.
"Damn." Kenzi groaned. She turned to Tank as he let her go.
Tank moved into fighting stance. "Again." He told her and she lunged.

Bo, Hale, Dyson, and Lauren
Lauren and Bo were at the bar on the train while Hale and Dyson stayed in the cabin they had taken on the way to Fresno. Hale had some friends in Fresno and they said he could use a car there. Dyson sat with his legs crossed and his eyes trained out on the passing scenery. Hale was seating in front of Dyson with his eyes closed. Hale had his arms crossed and was resting.
Dyson looked at Hale. "Do you really think I should tell her?" He asked quietly.
Hale opened his eyes and looked at Dyson. "Yes I do." He scooted up in the seat. "I have seen the way you and Kenz have been acting since you two got close when she was on her death bed. Aren't you the one who told me that she extracted a promise from you, not to leave her?" He shot his friend a knowing smile.
"Kenzi didn't know what she was asking at the time." Dyson told Hale.
Hale just shrugged. "Still you promised to stay by her side, Didn't you?" Dyson nodded. "Then you need to explain the reason you are so distant from her. Kenzi cares about you a lot D. If I can see it then you know the others can as well." Hale placed his hand on Dyson's knee. "In fact lil momma has grown on us all. She's like a sister that I always wanted." Hale sat back with a grin on his face.
Dyson leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and his head hanging. "Kenzi has done more for the Fae then any human on our side has. Including the doc." His eyes went to Hale.
"She has." Hale agreed. "She kept Bo sane until she found out what she was. Saved your ass as well as mine more than once. Hell she's even helped some of the dark Fae." Hale finished with a shrug.
Dyson snorted. "She only did that so she could save one of us." Dyson sighed. "I thought a lot about Kenzi and Bo. I realize now that what Bo and I had was because of healing her so much. But with Kenzi..." He shook his head trailing off.
Hale smiled and patted Dyson on his shoulder. "Kenzi is unique. No doubt about that."
"Your right." Dyson sat back and crossed his arms. "I just hope I can get to her before something happens."
-o0O0o-
Kenzi wiped her forehead of sweat as she sat on the ground. Tank had been keeping her busy since she asked him to speed up the training. Turning Kenzi saw that Cammi and Stefan were headed in their direction. Grinning she got up and stretched then headed over to her cousin.
"How are you doing?" Cammi asked looking her over.
Kenzi grinned. "Great. I actually pinned Tank just a second ago." She cut her eyes to the said person.
"Don't get cocky, Kenz." Tank warned. "That was just fighting. Now we need to get you to transform." He gave her a smirk.
Kenzi knew that he had something up his sleeve. "How do I change?" Kenzi asked as she noticed he was circling her.
"You have to feel threatened." Tank told her. "Of course you must think of what your main animal will be."
Kenzi looked at him weird. "My main animal?" She frowned as she thought about Dyson's wolf.
Tank nodded as he stopped to her left. "Yes, even though you can change into anything you must chose what you will transform into first then continue the transformation." He rubbed his chin. "I would say something small and fast would be your best bet."
Kenzi nodded. "Alright since I know of something what do I have to do to feel threatened?" She watched him wearily.
Tank smiled as he disappeared from in front of her. Kenzi tensed when she lost sight of him. She quickly scanned the area around her but she could not spot him. Snarling under her breath she sniffed the air and found that his scent was close by. Turning around she was knocked backward with something as hard as a fist or brick. As soon as she was able to open her eyes she noticed that Tank was grinning sadisticly.
With out a second thought Kenzi rushed him and noticed that she made a mistake. Never lose your temper. Suddenly she felt as though her whole body had been tossed into a fire. Her vision had taken a golden tint and she could see better and her senses were heightened. She looked up and snarled at Tank only to realize that she had transformed into a wolf.
Kenzi turned her head and saw Cammi with a huge grin and a long mirror. She brought it around and Kenzi froze as she looked at the wolf in front of her. Her coat was silver with black streaks through it. When she moved just right their were red highlights. Kenzi couldn't believe that she was about the same size as Dyson. Shaking her head she banished such thoughts of the wolf man. As soon as she opened her eyes she noticed that was naked.
"Ah!" Kenzi screamed. "Get me a towel." She told them as she sat there trying to keep her treasures hidden. Stefan was laughing along with Tank.
Cammi came forward with a big beach towel. "Here you need to bathe. Its supper time." She smiled gently at her cousin.
Kenzi glared behind Cammi and grinned when both Stefan and Tank took a step back. "She has her wolf side in check." Tank smirked.
"Wolf side?" Kenzi frowned. "I thought I was a dragon shifter."
Cammi nodded. "You are but you picked a wolf as your main animal. Thus you will now speak with your wolf side. You will not be able to pick another animal. Once you pick its for life." She warned.
"Its ok." Kenzi smiled. "I like being a wolf and Tank told me something small and fast would be the best bet for my main animal." She looked over at Tank. Both him and Stefan were heading to the house with their backs to her.
"Come on little cousin." Cammi helped her up and wrapped the towel around her. "Let's get you inside."
Kenzi just nodded. She need some serious sleep after a training day like today. Shaking her head mentally she smiled and let her cousin lead her into the house.
-o0O0o-
Bo and Lauren finally arrived back in the cabin by the time it was close to time to get off. Dyson just smiled as he watched Bo and Lauren together. He wished him and Kenzi would be like that. Sighing he looked out the window and grinned when he saw they were arriving in Fresno. He tapped Hale on the leg to wake him and pointed out the window.
"We're almost there." Dyson nodded to where he was pointing. Everyone rushed to the window. Hale smiled and Dyson knew that he seen his friend.
"Good Smack is here." Hale said as he stood up and stretched.
Bo and Lauren raised an eyebrow. "Smack?" They said in unison.
Hale nodded. "Watch out for your butt. That's all I'm sayin'."
"Ok." Bo said as she took Lauren's hand and lead her out the door. Dyson stood and looked at Hale.
"Smack?" He grinned. "What kind of name is that?"
Hale grinned back at his partner. "He likes to 'touch' anything with legs and breast. Thus he gets smacked quite a bit." He chuckled as he headed out the door. Dyson chuckled as he followed Hale. This he had to see.
-o0O0o-
Kenzi was grateful for her cousin but she really needed to just relax. With the water running Kenzi wiped the steam from the mirror. It had been at least a day and a half since she had taken off from home. The word made Kenzi's heart clench. Never in all her years has she had anywhere to call home since she was young and had to leave Russia. Sighing she slipped into the steaming water and prayed that the water would wash her thoughts of Dyson away.
As she leaned back into the tub she felt a tug on her soul. Frowning she closed her eyes and let her mind wander. She could feel herself being pulled into her subconscious by her inner dragon/wolf.
-o0O0o-
"What the hell?" Kenzi said as she turned around the woods she was now standing in. "Where am I?" She tried to keep her calm but she felt something close.
"Welcome to your inner world." Came a voice from around Kenzi.
Kenzi looked around and spotted a wolf that she looked like when she was transformed. "Are you Ryuu?" Kenzi bent down to the wolves level.
The wolf nodded. "Yes." He sat on his hind legs. "Since you finally chosen I will now appear to you in this form." He stood and walked over to Kenzi.
Kenzi smiled and reached out to intertwine her fingers in the wolves fur. She smiled wider when Ryuu began to purr or growl in pleasure, while his back left leg started to move on its own. Kenzi just chuckled as she watched him smile the best he could since in the wolf form.
Ryuu stepped backward and bowed his head to Kenzi. "I will see you soon, Kenzi." With that him along with the background started to fade away. Kenzi felt herself being pulled back to the waking world. Then she remembered that she was still in the bathroom.
