Dragon Ryder
Hinata was a simple girl who led a simple life. And she was perfectly fine living it that way. She never dreamed a white knight would sweep her off her feet and carry her away to unknown wonders like other girls did. She was perfectly content with what she had. She had a small little hut that protected her from mother natures scorn. She was able to survive by the fruits and vegetables that she grew and then sold in town. She would give some fruits to the children she knew had no money to buy anything. Her father and mother originally had been the ones tending to the garden and selling their products in town. But since they both passed that burden fell to Hinata. Her mother died when she was very young and her father had only passed a couple years back. Hinata had taken her basket she usually brought with her into town and filled it with various fruits and vegetables. Then she began walking to town.
When she arrived people inclined their heads to greet her. She began walking to the people who usually bought some of her goodies. She had sold almost all of the contents in her basket when two young children ran up to her and hugged her. It was konohamaru and his little sister hanabi.
"Hinata!" They both exclaimed.
"Hello to you guys too."
"Hina, did you bring us anything?" Little Hanabi asked her with wide eyes.
"Nabi don't be rude." Konohamaru scolded his little sister.
"Well of course, don't I always bring you two something?" They both got wide grins on their faces. Hinata dug into the bottom of her basket and pulled out two little bundles. Each had an apple, orange, and a slice of banana bread.
"Thanks!" They took their bundles from Hinata, gave her another hug, and then took off back to there home. Hinata watched them leave and began walking to her next destination. She arrived in a couple minutes seeing as it was not that far away from where she was. She knocked on the door and heard some rustling before the door was opened and a middle aged woman answered the door.
"Hello Hinata. Come in." The woman told her. Hinata stepped into the womans house and sat in one of the only available spots open because there was fabric everywhere.
"How are you Tsunade-sama?" Hinata asked politely.
"Lovely my dear. What can I do for you?" Tsunade asked her.
"I just need a few things mended. The buttons on my dresses popped off again." Hinata said a little embarrassed.
"That's it?" Hinata nodded. "When are you going to ask me to introduce you to the fine young men I sew for? And why won't you let me make you a proper fitting dress rather than trying to fit your large bosoms into your mothers dresses."
"Because I like my mom's dresses." Hinata said shyly. But then she remembered the other question. "And I have told you before that I don't need anybody right now. I am perfectly fine on my own."
"If you say so." Tsunade held out her hand for the dresses she was to mend. Hinata gave her two of them. "I think I might have a solution so that the buttons won't pop off anymore. That will be ten copper pieces." Hinata retrieved the amount from her sack of coins and handed them over. "They should both be done by tomorrow if you want to come pick them up then."
"Thank you that would be great." Hinata said. She stood up and bid farewell to Tsunade and began to walk back to her home since she still had chores to do there. As soon as she arrived home she went straight to the well and began polling buckets out to water some of the plants. Once she finally finished she just laid in a patch of grass and looked up at the sky. A few minutes passed by and Hinata was focusing on a dark shadow in the sky. It wasn't a bird it was too large to be a bird. It kept getting closer and closer to her. Hinata was trying to figure out what it was when it finally got close enough for her to figure it out. She started to panic and rushed inside her house for what she believed she seen was a dragon.
