Hey guys this is my very first story on fanfiction and I hope it pleases you all. Please, no flames! So without further a do Chapter 1! (I only own Atsuko, Kohaku, the orphans and Natsuko so far)

Prologue

I wondered around the orphanage searching for a good place to meditate before today's event. Finally I found a quiet place outside in the backyard. But of course it was soon to be ruined by my 10 year old brother Kohaku when he came running through the yard yelling my name.

"There here! There here! The Fire Lord and his family are finally here!" he practically shouted jumping up and down. He just reminded me of the day I really disliked and didn't care for. The fire lord and his dumb family were coming to pick someone in our little orphanage to come and live and train with his family in the fire nation. Don't get me wrong I'm 100% fire nation, but I hate it here and would rather live in Ba Sing Se or Omashu, even if I am a fire bender.

My only sibling broke me out of my thoughts as he grabbed me by the hand leading me back inside. There they were standing in front of us… looking us over. The young girl gave us a nasty smirk. In return Kohaku put his nose in the air, turned on his heel and stalked away. Fire Lady Ursa gave me and the other orphaned children a gentle smile.

"I believe all of you will do great today, but only one of you will win the battle. Good luck to all of you and see you this evening." She said before my foster mother Natsuko showed the "royal" family around the orphanage.

I simply ran all the way up to my room and pulled a drawer out from the wall from under my bed and felt around for my Nunchucks. As soon as I felt them I felt someone's presence in the room. I shot up from under the bed and took a fighting stance, slowly swinging my Nunchucks in a circle when I noticed Natsuko in the doorway.

"Time for Lunch Atsuko!" she said merrily as she walked past my door heading down the hallway and down the stairs. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. A 13 year old semi muscular, agile fire nation girl. Did I mention I am a Bender?

I really hope you guys liked this chapter! Tell me what I need to improve on!
