It was a fresh day in the lands of Kirigakure. The Academy students were all running into class, except one young girl. She had waist length ebony hair, pale skin am icy blue eyes. She wore a kimono that had a dragon on both the front and back. The only reason this girl didn't want to go into class today, was because the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist were choosing their students today. "Miss Momochi, are you coming inside?" came the sensei's voice, The girl looked at her and shook her head. There were times she hated being the offspring of the Demon of the Mist, today was one of these days. "Come on, you can show the class your family's signature move, Katamina." the brunette woman smiled. Katamina sighed, grabbed her things and went inside.
Big mistake. The Seven Swordsmen were there, and she couldn't look at her father, not after she called him a jerk this morning. Katamina sat in her seat, people were whispering about her. Her right arm was deformed into a dragon's arm, which she had to keep gloved up due to the Genjutsu coming from it. "She's a bit of a freak isn't she?" one boy asked a girl who was next to him. "Yeah, no wonder she hasn't got any friends." the girl replied. Forgetting the Swordsmen were in the room, Katamina was behind the two in a flash, her sword against their necks. The boy and girls' eyes were wide with fear and they were physically shaking. The girl started crying. "Oh get a hold of yourself. Is this how you're gonna act on missions when things get tough? Grow some balls." Katamina said bluntly. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up. Zabuza. "What you said is true. However my daughter, stop rising to them. Well I suppose they won't cross you again, seeing as you threatened their lives." he said, almost in a proud voice. A gravely chuckle came from the front. "I will train her." said a blue skinned Shinobi. "Kisame, alright you can train her, but I'm warning you, she can be a loose cannon." Zabuza said, rubbing Katamina's shoulder gently.
The school bell rang and the students rushed out to meet their parents. Katamina walked alone as usual. She didn't go home, she went to sit by the lake. So, Kisame Hoshigaki was going to train her. She had to admit, she wasn't entirely excited that Sharky was going to be her Sensei. However, she admired his techniques and he was kinda cute. "Oi Freak!" came a boy's voice. Katamina turned her head with a bored expression on her face. "Hmm?" she answered. The boy , or should we say teen looked like a Chunin. "You threatened my sister and her boyfriend." he growled. "Well maybe next time, they shouldn't piss me off. Especially when I have a family name to live up to." Katamina shrugged. The blonde haired teen ran at her, kunai drawn. Before he could hit her, Katamina had moved. He looked around and spotted her on the water. "Water Style… Water Dragon Jutsu!" as soon as Katamina said this, a funnel of water ejected into the air, and formed into a dragon. The teen screamed as the dragon landed on him, causing him to almost drown. She walked over to his coughing body. "I said this to your sister and her ass of a boyfriend… Grow some balls." she said and walked away.
The night was dragging on, and as she walked through the village she saw the Seven Swordsmen. Katamina walked down an ally, avoiding them, but catching snippets of their conversation. Ameyuri spoke up first, with a sigh. "That dragon brat is getting out of control." she said. Katamina noticed Zabuza flashing his comrade a warning glare. "That's my daughter you a talking about." he growled, getting protective. Kisame grinned under the moonlight. "I'm glad I chose her. She's the type of crazy one I like. I mean that in a good way, Zabuza." he said. Katamina sighed. She had to admit to herself, she was a freak. Maybe it was best if she just left and never came home.
Katamina stepped out of the village, not looking back. She didn't need them, and it was clear they didn't need her. Before she could go any further a voice spoke up. "Going somewhere?" a deep, husky voice said. "Go away. Its clear I'm not wanted here, so just go home." the dragoness replied to Zabuza. In a flash, the Demon of the Mist held his only child up in the air, by the throat. "I don't want to hurt you Katamina, but you're giving me no choice!" he said in a louder tone. He then put her down and held her. "What would your mother think eh?" he said, as his child nuzzled into his chest. "I know you heard my comrades and I talking, and I will put Ameyuri in her place." he promised. "You noticed I was there?" Kat asked. Zabuza let go of her, and knelt down to her level, keeping his hands on her arms. "You've still got a lot to learn." he smiled. "Katamina! Zabuza-sensei!" came Haku's voice. The young boy ran up to them, and Katmina ran towards him. "Haku!" Kat cried. Haku hugged her sobbing frame, whilst Zabuza looked at her. "I have to be stronger than this… I just hope Kisame-sensei will kick this weakness out of me, and make me someone you can be proud of." Kat said, her eyes burning with determination. Haku smiled warmly at her. "That's the spirit!" he chuckled and led her back home.
Katamina's mother had a frantic worried look on her face, when the three of them stepped through the door. "Katamina Momochi, where have you been?" she demanded. Zabuza laughed. "I caught her trying to sneak out of the village." he said, getting a glass of water and sitting at the kitchen table. Kat's mother looked at her. "Its true mother." she sighed in defeat. "Don't go to hard on her Yuki, she's put up with enough crap to last her a lifetime." the spiky haired Swordsman said, and took a gulp of water. "Thank you father." Katamina said. "And I'm sorry." she added. Zabuza held up his hand, to mention her not to speak any further. "Don't let it worry you. Oh, and Kisame expects to see you in the training grounds at six." Zabuza said. Katamina nodded, and headed straight for bed.
