Chapter 1

Kitsuma Matursaki was training for the big day where she would fight in the world martial arts tournament, she would try her best to win,even though it was very unlikely, but Kitsuma would had heard about the kid winning second place at the last tournament, and really wanted to fight him, she was really exited because only three months of solitude before the world tournament I really needed the money, her cabin was in shambles, the roof leaked when it rained, the electricity flickered on and off.

"My parents, how did they deserve this?", she asked herself as she looked at their picture and cried, she had only been five when that happened, but now she was twenty.

*flash back*

A cruel man with a braid and goatee loomed over her parents dead bodies. Beside him was a three eyed boy about her age.

"Your lucky we let you next time you cross my path I'll kill you.",he said smirking evilly.

I just stood there holding my teddy bear and blanket. The three eyed boy glared at me like I was the worst scum he'd ever came across.

"Well Tien. It is time we take our leave.", the man said.

Tien nodded still glaring at me harshly.

*End flash back*

I'll never forget that boy with three eyes even though he was a protegee of that man whom I found out later his name was Tao and his job as a mercenary and that he glared at me like I was scum.

[A/n: well what do you think so far?]

I was certain I heard that Hermit crane's students would be fighting. I was looking forward to meet them in battle. I hoped they were exited like I was, but I had a chilling suspicion that they would be brutal like Tao.

...Scene change...

Tien was training hard for the world tournament . He was sparring with Chiaotzu. He was very exited for the world tournament, he was hoping that she would be there. He was surprised when Chiaotzu stopped fighting.

"Tien? What are you thinking about?", Chiaotzu asked telepathically.

"Nothing Chiaotzu.", Tien said.

Tien had a habit of not letting his feelings show, he never was able to sort out the feelings he had for the girl with wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. He was certain she had grown up, she probably looked different. He was looking forward to seeing her again, he really liked her even though he treated her like scum. His cheeks turned red.

"Tien why is your face red?", Chiaotzu asked.

"Nothing Chiaotzu.", Tien said.

"Okay what ever you say, Tien.",Chiaotzu said as he rolled his eyes.

A/n: What do you think so far? I hate feeling rejected by people, so will you please review? I hate to admit it but I still feel happy if people just visit and read... I wish for at least five reviews...

If your wondering how Kitsuma is pronounced{ Kitt- Suu-mae}
