Prologue

Tokyo Japan, one of the prettiest places on Earth. People bustling around just trying to do their regular business whether it be a bakery owner, a flower shop owner, a comic/anime party coordinator or a school principal. Most people don't realize the entities of magical creatures. They could be behind you, in front, next to you or even in your own homes. Magical creatures are everywhere, just as Tokyo's own magical creature resident Yukiko Kagami and her family. Also known as Yuki, she is the brightest child in the outskirts and she is only 14 years old. Most of the children on the street call her the "Snow child" because when it snows in Tokyo, she would be the only one who would stand outside for a long time without flinching at the cold.

Yuki lives with her mother and father in a little adobe in the outskirts of the city. The family owns a little rice field and her father owns a huge company in the city. Her mother stays at home to look after the field and the animals but she was once a great swordsman, her skills are legendary. In addition to the rice field, they built a little dojo for training. What the neighbors don't know is that the Kagami family hold magical powers. Yuki got her dragon powers from her mom's side of the family. Her father already knew about this magical business so he didn't spread the word about it, family secret.

Besides school work, Yuki would train at the dojo with her mom and help out in the fields. The animals aren't bothered by her presence but when she use her magical powers without warning, they panic. Her family lays down the rules of when and where to use her powers and it drives her crazy, sometimes she just wants to unleash everything and exhaust herself. That's when she is really bored. One year, she made it snow in July on accident. The roads started to ice all over causing huge traffic accidents in the city and the winds picked up, making it hard for people to do their things. Everyone stayed indoors except for her and she made a bunch of snow people, laughing and playing. Her father came home late and almost frozen. He gave her a strict talk about doing things like that, one of those parent talks that take over an hour to complete. She would smile and promise to never ever do it again. The family lived a very happy lifestyle, the magical creatures in Tokyo aren't as active as other places so it wasn't everyday something abnormal pop up. When it does though, Yuki's on the case. It was one of her magical duties as a guardian of magical creatures. She doesn't mind the tedious work, doing a magical protector job is so much better than school.

One day...

"Yuki, time for breakfast!" Her mother called from the kitchen. Her father sat at the table, looking at the paper and sipping coffee. His hair was groomed nicely and he wore a business attire.

"Hai Oka-san." Yuki chirped happily as she waltzed into the room. She wore a blue T-shirt and some shorts, totally not the proper Japanese attire. Her father choked on his coffee as he stared at her, outraged at the fashion sense.

"My little Yuki, that's not what you're suppose to wear in this household. Go put on a komono or something else, no more western culture wear."

"Awwwww...please Oto-san!" She stared at him with huge, shining chibi-like eyes. He cringed slightly, debating on whether to crush his poor angel's soul or go with it. "If you don't allow me to wear whatever I want, I'll put a hole through your suits when you get back."

"And how are you..."He stopped there, remembering that his daughter was a dragon and she was in the cycle of fire, meaning that she has her flame already. "Okay fine, you win. Just don't embarrass yourself in public."

"I won't!" She did a victory dance and helped her mother with setting the table. The family had a nice morning and they went their separate ways to do their jobs. Since today is Saturday, her dad could have stayed at home but he had something to attend to which was why he wore a business attire. Yuki went to the dojo for more training, especially in her fire controlling abilities. When she was on her fifth round of target practice, the ground started to shake.

"Waah, an earthquake?" She immediately bolted out as the roof caved in. Everywhere was chaos, people screaming and the car alarms were blaring. Her mom rushed out and grabbed her hand. She looked very serious and she held a small bundle in her hand as she dragged Yuki down to town. They made it through the havoc and falling building pieces, ending up at a seaport.

"Listen to me Yuki." Her mother grasped her hand tightly, looking deep into her chocolate-colored eyes. "This is not any normal earthquake, you feel it don't you?" Yuki nodded. Her dragon senses were tingling. It was this creepy feeling, something dark and sinister. It wasn't natural.

"You need to leave as soon as possible. For so many years he hasn't shown up but, now he has. Lucky for us there's a boat that goes out to the west that's about to leave soon." Her mother lead Yuki over to the boat. It was a huge fright boat, carrying lots of supplies and equipment. Already pulling out of the port, Yuki's mom quickly placed her daughter into one of the boxes.

"O-O-Oka-san?" Yuki quickly grabbed her mom's hand, refusing to let go. Her mom held back tears and hugged Yuki tightly.

"Here." She handed her daughter two tightly wrapped katanas, or Japanese swords. "These are your favorite weapons and I know you'll use them wisely, you are familiar with katanas than others. Don't lose your focus nor your training. I also packed you a lunch so you won't be hungry." She also passed along a nicely wrapped lunchbox.

"What about you? What will you do?"

"I need to go visit the Dragon Council. This incident must be stopped, before it's too late. As for you, you must find LaoShi, he is the Dragon Master. You must find him. I heard he is somewhere in the west, but I'm not sure. Time is short, be brave my child!" She stepped back and transformed. Yuki stared wide-eyed at the beautiful dragon hovering in front of her. It roared and flew off.

"Oka-san...OKA-SAAAAN!" Yuki screamed after the beast, clutching her belongings tightly. Tokyo was in a mess and she could see this layer of darkness blanketing the city, an eerie feeling tingling up her spine as she watched her beloved city getting smaller and smaller.
