Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters, damn my rotten luck…. I do own my OCs, though… And I know the title sucks, but I couldn't think of anything different. This is going to be AU. To what extent, though…well, only time will tell.
On the day of the tenth Blood Moon, Fate will choose five souls.
These souls will be the ones to determine the course of Destiny for the Leaf, may it be good or bad.
The Son of the Golden Storm, who befriends the Queen of Fire;
The Mistress of the Spirits, who controls Nature;
The Girl with the Golden Eyes and the Girl with the Blood Eyes;
And finally, the Child of the Dragons, which will find part of its past in the Leaf.
The Child of the Dragons and the Son of the Golden Storm hold the power to alter Destiny, however, the other three are the keys to their power.
Only united, they will succeed….

The Legend of the Five Souls, as it's told since the days of the Shodaime Hokage.
New Friends, New Enemies: Prologue
Somewhere in Fire Country, several miles outside of Konohagakure no Sato, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, three shadows were sitting around a small fire. Well, one of them was sitting there, the other two were unconscious. The figure was a young boy, around ten years old, his brown, spiky hair flowing in the breeze of the calm night. His ice-blue eyes were focused on the dancing flames. A stirring brought him out of his thoughts. One of the other figures regained consciousness.
"Finally awake, huh?" The boy spoke up.
The figure rose and became visible. It was a girl, the same age as the boy, but she wasn't an ordinary girl. Her eyes were crimson, her pupils silted, like those of a cat. Her whole body, at least the visible parts, were covered in thin, black fur. On her head were cat-like ears, and behind her, a long, sleek tail was swishing from side to side. Her face was that of a human, and she stared at the boy, holding her head.
"Uh, my head feels like it'll blow up any moment," she groaned. "What happened? And where are we, Ryu?"
"Dunno, Tomo," Ryu replied, "The one moment we were wandering around and the next thing I know is waking up in this world. As for where we are, well, I don't know why I know this, but it's called the Fire Country. And I'm somehow unable to open a new Gate to get us out of this world. And the worst of all, we're stuck in the bodies of ten-year-old children."
"Great, just great," Tomo groaned. "What about Ai? Is she okay?"
Ryu glanced at the other girl, Ai, with a warm smile on his face.
"Don't worry, she's only unconscious, except for some scratches and bruises. I would never let my love die so easily. That goes for you, too, Tomo-imotou-chan."
Tomo blushed. "You know that I'm not really your little sister, right?" she asked.
Ryu grinned. "Yeah, but this won't hold me from calling you my little sister. Even if you are only a month younger than me and we're not blood related."
She smiled softly at his words. Then, something came to her mind.
"What are we going to do?" she asked Ryu. He closed his eyes, thinking.
"First of all, we're completely defenseless at the moment. In our current state, we're easy targets for enemies. And believe me, there are enough enemies in this world. Powerful enemies… There's only one way out of this. A few hours on foot from here to the west, there is a village called Konohagakure no Sato. In this world, there are warriors known as shinobi, also known as ninja. Konoha is one of the five strongest shinobi villages. The Hokage, the strongest Shinobi and leader of the village, might be able to help us."
"So we're gonna leave for Konoha tomorrow, then?" Tomo asked.
Ryu only nodded. Then, Ai began to sit up, slowly opening her eyes. She looked like Tomo, except her fur was a light brown colour and so thin, that it gave her a tanned look. Her yellow cat-eyes focused on Ryu.
"Ai-chan," Ryu exclaimed, "how do you feel?"
"Like my head's gonna blow any second," Ai groaned.
Tomo grinned. "She's repeating my exact words."
Ryu chuckled, and then started to explain the situation to Ai. After he finished, the three decided to go to sleep. They didn't know what destiny had in store for them…
End Prologue
Well, what do you guys think? I know the prologue was rushed, but I tried my best. I'm not used to this style of writing, so, if you guys review, I could use some constructive criticism and hints on how I could improve my writing. And by the way, I'm from Germany, so if my English seems in some way weird at some places, keep this in mind, okay?
As you already read, my main OC, his girlfriend and his surrogate little sister are from another world, but it's a bit different from what I've read on until now. So NO "real" world in this story.
These are my OCs:
Ryu (NO, THIS IS NOT SELF-INSERTION!)
Age: 18
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Weapon of Choice: Sword
Current Status: Stuck in the body of a ten-year-old boy
Ryu is a dimensional traveller. He's randomly travelling from world to world. On his travels, he's looking for traces of his unknown family, looking for the world he belongs into……
Ai
Age: 17
Race: Woren; possesses the ability to transform into a normal cat
Gender: Female
Weapon of Choice: Claws (duh)
Current Status: Same as Ryu, not too happy about the situation
Ryu and Ai met during one of Ryu's travels, when Ryu saved her from a pack of wolves. He trained her to become stronger and to defend herself and in the end she joined him on his search for his past. Over the time and many adventures, love blossomed and they finally got together.
Tomo
Age: 18
Race: Woren; possesses the same ability as Ai
Gender: Female
Weapon of Choice: Claws/Daggers
Current Status: See the other two
Tomo was an assassin sent to kill both Ryu and Ai for still unknown reasons. But when she found out that one of her targets was a fellow Woren, she quit the mission because she would never hurt someone of her own race. The three slowly grew on each other and Ryu accepted her as some kind of younger sister.
What do you think? Like them, hate them? The description is a bit short because I'm not too good with character bios… I wanted to make clear that the three of them are full-fledged warriors, even if they have to start all over again, though, and their relationship with each other…… They'll just be a bit more mature, and I won't start with them using knowledge from different worlds, so don't worry about that.
