Chapter One

She lived in small house, surrounded by a forest, and only a little small path made for when she left to walk a mile to get to her Sensei's shine. She learned a lot from him, like a father to her since her parents were dead and she supported herself, everyday in the hot and sunny afternoon's she would leave to learn more from her Sensei about acrobatic techniques instead of with a sword like everyone else. The techniques he would teach her, was only techniques he would teach HER not anyone else, he taught her how to move with the wind and control it. It felt like, but no one could do that, even if the techniques were strange, she enjoyed them. People that came every afternoon like she did learn with a bloody sword instead of trusting there own ability's with their bodies. Even though she had to admit she did feel a little weird not learning with a sword, even if it did feel like she was going to use it someday.

Her whole life she waited, dreamed, wanted to be somebody who could be 'the one' to do something special something unique, then when she would die she would be know in history books all around the world in all the 300 languages or whatever number like that. But mostly she wanted to be someone that when she died they would know and remember her, but even so that was so near impossible…it was.

She was only seventeen with her tamed ruby red hair to the waist always loosely braided her behind her back. Her eyes were a sky blue, where her ruby red bangs would reach just above her seeing level. She was a bit on the short side, ok a lot, but it was nothing to worry about she was just petit. She was different from other people on the outside, why? She had strange birthmarks that would appear at times when she was extremely upset, or sad. The birthmark looked as though she had been in a fight with wolfs or something with claws, the backs of her hands had three claw marks, as did the top of her ankles, but this she could cover, it was her face which she hated, on the very sides of her face near her cheeks and above her chin were three claw marks equal on each side. And because this 'birthmark' made her different, people treated like so. In fact because of this no one thought she was normal they didn't stay around her, she didn't blame them she didn't think she was normal either except her Sensei, she couldn't be any better to him. She didn't know her parents at all. Her father died in a war and her mother died giving birth to her according to her Sensei when he tried looking up and finding her parents.

So she has lived by herself or with her Sensei's home for seventeen years, and has yet to make one single friend.

Sometimes when she got mad thinking back to the times in her life she wished she'd never gone through or people that she just wanted to plain kill for making fun of her…she almost felt powerful like fire or water could just come out of her small silk like palms when she was punching the wall or a person if they were near because of it, that just creeped herself out and she really hated punching people, it was like a reaction except when she hit the right person, but then again her Sensei would give her more work to do.

She always did feel like she was waiting for something to happen. Like something was pulling her into the forest near her Sensei's house.

But…the chances of that were slim and none, all she knew is that she could be 90 before she that could ever happen, but for some odd reason she felt as if the waiting was going to end or just like something was crawling up under her skin.

She felt different, the way her skin tingled at different occasions, like it was pulling her somewhere and she was willing to go there no matter what the cost. She thought about how if she did leave all of a sudden would she miss any one? That was a no brainier she was more than willing to leave her life style, and her village with no friends, the only one that she would care for is her Sensei.

Even so she had to continue on living without worrying about some strange feeling she was having, a bad feeling.

A really really bad feeling.

"Sensei? Sensei? I'm ready to leave now if that's ok with you." Kikari chimed in from the hallway of the old shine, her voice echoing ever so slowly through the halls. "It's a bit chilly so wrap up tonight ok?" Kikari smiled as she continued walking down the hall feeling the cold wind run through her red hair and small slender fingers. "Sensei?" she questioned as she turned the corner as she always did, she would always find her Sensei in there doing something, cooking, cleaning, practicing, but she didn't find him. 'The last time I saw him was a hour ago when I was last practicing…' she thought as she started to worry about her teacher. He was everything to her, a father and a friend, some one who she could count on through her life, he mostly supported her in everything she did 'if anything happened to him, I'd kill myself' she thought to herself. She started walking back down the hallway to the main door where everybody came in at from the village, maybe he was there waiting for her. She continued down to the main door until…

Bang

'What was that?' Kikari quickly thought as she held her breath. Kikari gently watched her footing making sure she stepped on the correct wooden steps, so she wouldn't make a sound, she knew this place like the back of her hand.

But right then…

Something was wrong…

She felt it move all up and down her body as she came closer to the main door and where the sound had come from. Every part of her was screaming at her to get away, but her curiosity and loyalty to her Sensei was stronger, she would even risk her life in saving his.

She was at the corner of the door now, the corner that if you peeked around it you would see the front main door, the porch, the landscape and everything else the land had to offer, hiding was impossible if you learned around this place. Even though her curiosity and loyalty were strong…she wasn't stupid, she was waiting for the right moment to walk around to check the space out, she was waiting for that noise again.

Bam

And it came

"Who is there?" she asked as she rounded the corner as if she was never waiting there in the first place.

"And who is this? A little friend?" a low dark voice demanded than asked as he pushed his swords blade harder and harder into her Sensei's neck. The Sensei looked like he was beaten to a pulp, but how? She never heard a sound, how was that possible?

"You're lucky that I hate dealing with swords, I only use them in this world because I can't use my real powers." He said as the blood poured from her Sensei's neck.

"She…is nothing to you…leave her out…of this." Her Sensei demanded in a weakling strong low tone she was used to when she was scolded. "She's a student of mine" he weakly said his strong voice faded more, as his life.

"Oh really? Then shall I take her with me? She looks like the type to be a interesting match up with me in a fight, to test all that you have taught." The man laughed in his low menacing laugh "then I shall kill her in the end." He stared at her, making her feel like she was staring death right in the face, but even that couldn't scare her off.

"What do you want from my Sensei?" Kikari demanded in the lowest threaten voice she could muster, but even that sounded a little weak. Even so Kikari didn't care about that, she was to worry in her Sensei's health right now. Kikari stood in her 'stance' where her two feet slid to the sides with her arm out and elbows bent in front of her, preparing for a direct attack.

"Ah we were just getting to that part…where is the Avatar? Where is he?" The man kept his blade to her Sensei's neck, grip ever so tighting. "Tell me NOW!" He yelled in his ear.

"I…I will never tell…" her Sensei spat at him before the man lost his patience and realized the blade on his neck, to stab him in the heart.

"Fine you have chosen your fate…Trader…" the man headed towards the forest leaving her, and her dieing Sensei alone.

"SENSEI!" She cried as she ran over to the old man letting her tears fall rapidly down her soft cheeks and onto her Sensei as she hugged his bloody body. "I…I should have done something! I should have killed him for what he did!" Kikari scolded herself as she only father and friend died in her arms.

"No…no…don't do that to yourself, leave me to past away, hurry I need you to do me a favor little Avatar, please follow him, do not let him see you, just follow him where ever he goes even into something you've never seen before…" he stared to fade as his eyes started to close slowly.

"Sensei!" Kikari called to him, as if she could wake him up somehow by called him. "Don't leave me!" Kikari cried into his shoulder as she held his cold hand in her own warm little one. "Please…" she begged hoping this was all just a bad dream.

"Stop your crying now…you're a big girl, hold your chin up, take only what you've learned and what you have in yourself, I've taut you better, now go…I love you my little Avatar." Her Sensei whispered before he closed his eyes and left her.

"NO! Please…Kami no." Kikari cried as she held her Sensei in her arms, until her Sensei's words flow back into her head…and she sang to her self and him

I'll spread my wings and fly away

To a place that I belong

A world that's much different than my own

Maybe a place that will not be judged wrong

Maybe a place that I belong

That I can maybe call home

That I will…call home

She hummed the little tune her Sensei sung to her when she was little, as she let his body lay on the ground in his own blood pool, she wanted to help him, but she had to follow that man first, and her could think about was how she was going to revenge her Sensei as she left the bloody corps of her Sensei behind her, as her eyes became puffy red from her tears. She missed him already.
