My name is Kira Sayaka and I'm a 12 year old who's in 7th grade. I was born into a japanese family, and I live a normal life in Los Angeles, California. Well actually, maybe my life isn't normal considering what I can do. Ever since I went to school, I'm always the fastest, most flexible, and most... weird. You see, I am the most athletic person in every class and school I've been to. I always have this urge to climb trees, run a thousand miles, and fight. My friends just adore me, my skill, and my looks. I don't look asian because I don't have chinky eyes, and people just tell me I look beautiful. So I guess you don't find that weird, but here's the weird part. Every time I'm in a race, in less than one second, I get to the finish line and everyone describes that what they say of me was a blur, and like a shadow. Driven into my mind was special symbols I know how to do with my hands super fast. Instead of climbing trees, I can somehow walk up trees with no suction cups or anything. I could even stand upside down on a tree! When I'm swimming, I can actually stand and walk on water. But enough about me, let's get on with my life.
I woke up on a bright, Friday morning. I quickly dressed into a purple t-shirt and black jeans. I ran downstairs for breakfast and ate fast so I could get to school on time. I kissed my parents goodbye and ran to school. P.E. was my first period, and we were running a mile today. I thought, No sweat, this is gonna be easy considering how different and weird I am. I completed the mile in three minutes, and by the time my friends finished, it was ten minutes already. My friend Tess said,"Amazing... you're japanese, so are you like a ninja or something?" I snorted,"Me? A ninja? I don't think so." In my second period, I blushed when my crush passed by, and Tess saw. She said,"Oooh, Kira! Why don't you just talk to him?" I said,"What? No way, he's got a girlfriend already." Tess sighed,"Shame... you two would be so cute together. I mean, you're both athletic!" I said,"You think that means something? He has nothing for me. He doesn't even think of me as a friend." Tess clapped me on the back and said,"Show him your amazing skills and beauty. He'll totally fall for you." I muttered,"I don't even have the confidence. I try to stay as far away from him as possible." The rest of the day went on as usual, me being the first and best in everything. You think I like attention? No way! I don't even like the fact that I was born into a japanese family. I'm just lucky they didn't give me a super long japanese name that's impossible to pronounce. Kira's a japanese name, but it's not really hard to pronounce. So after school, I went home and did my homework. Homework just pisses me off because I don't see the point in it. When my parents came back from work, they called me down for dinner. I'm obedient to my parents, but they don't really understand me. They think I'm an innocent little girl, but I'm more than that. They don't even know about my abilities. I went down for dinner, when I saw this swirling green light appearing in the living room. I thought, Am I imagining this? The green light grew brighter, and I could make out two figures. I cried,"Mom, Dad! Look over there!" I pointed to where the green light was, and it had turned into people. There was a disgusting figure who was licking his lips with a long slimy tongue, and a boy beside him was about my age. My dad stood in front of my mother and I and said,"What do you want!" Suddenly, the disgusting guy's neck outstretched and suddenly his neck was around my dad's neck, and he made eye contact with me and said in hisses, "Kira... you must come... with me..." I narrowed my eyes and said,"Or what? What do you want with me?" This guy resembled a snake, and he smiled creepily at me and replied,"Or I will kill your parents." I gasped and said,"But what do you want with me?" He hissed,"Your power... and your blood..." His neck flew over and circled around me, and I shivered. He licked my cheek and that was it. I slugged him in the face and growled,"I won't come with you!" Just then, I saw the guy that was accompanying the snake guy's expression change. It looked like shock and it was directed at me. I stared at myself and saw that there were shadows and fire surrounding, and slithering around me. The snake guy growled,"Enough!" He regurgitated a knife and held it against my dad's neck. He struggled, but it didn't work. My mom went to his defense, but she was kicked aside and she coughed out blood. I shouted,"ENOUGH!" Reluctantly, I said,"I'll come with you... if you promise to never hurt my parents or anyone else I know..." The snake guy said,"Oh, don't worry. You won't be coming back, so we won't either." Just then, I just realized how much I was gonna miss here, and this was just so sudden! I said,"Just... let me pack, and say goodbye." The snake guy said,"We don't have a minute to lose! Just hurry up!" I just realized the boy was just watching the whole thing intently, not saying a word. I studied him with one glance, and saw that he had jet black hair, and he must have had nowhere to go if he was going along with this snake bitch. I ran up to my room, jammed everything that was precious to me in my backpack along with my phone and precious memories, and muttered,"Please let me be dreaming..." I slapped myself hard before going back downstairs, but everything horrible was still the same. There was blood on the floor, and that snake bitch and his little follower was still there. My parents were standing in a corner cowering, and when the saw me, they cried,"Kira!" I ran over to them and my mom pleaded,"Kira... you don't have to go." My dad said,"We can take this guy, you don't have to go." I said,"Mom... I have to go, for your safety. Dad, you know you can't take him. He's different... and I think I know why he wants me..." My mom threw her arms around me and started sobbing, and tears ran down my cheeks. I hugged back and whispered,"I'm sorry... I promise I'll come back." I switched from hugging my mom to my dad, and he said,"You're our only child... we love you..." I whispered,"I know... but this is for you guys." I wiped the tears from my eyes and faced that snake bitch who's taking me away from my family and friends. I growled,"So where are we going?" The snake bitch said,"To the ninja dimension." Before I could say anything, a bright light flashed around us and suddenly, we were in a dark forest. I gasped,"What just happened? Where are we?" The snake bitch said,"Silence." The boy was just beside me, and I looked to him. He noticed me staring at him and he snapped,"What?" I jumped back because I didn't expect him to talk and I just narrowed my eyes and said,"Nothing." I thought, I need to think of a way to escape... Only one way... I have to fight and test my abilities... I've always won fights with the guys in school, even the toughest bullies... I'm Kira Sayaka! Most strong and athletic 7th grader! I can do anything! When that snake bitch wasn't looking, I threw a punch at the back of his head but he sensed me and caught my fist. I used my foot to kick his head, but he caught that too. I shut my eyes tight and concentrated on my power. I knew I had it, so I knew I had to release it now. My eyes snapped open and the snake bitch gasped and released me. He said,"It can't be... I knew that you had power and but... this?" The boy said,"What is it Orochimaru?" I thought, So this snake bitch's name is Orochimaru! Wait... isn't that japanese? Am I in Japan? I tried unleashing my full power, and there was a burst of purple light. When everything cleared up, Orochimaru was standing in front of me, looking smug. I stretched out both my hands, and released all my power again. I saw shadows whip around me, and they all headed for Orochimaru. It grabbed him, and started strangling him. I asked,"What do you want with me?" Orochimaru laughed and said,"I want to experiment on you, and perhaps use your body." I said,"Okay... maybe I didn't want to hear that..." Purple flames and shadows surrounded my body, and I launched it all at Orochimaru again. This time, I aimed for his chest and he started coughing out blood and wheezing. I took this opportunity, and started running for my life. I ran up the tree and started jumping from tree to tree, going as fast as I could. Just then, the boy with Orochimaru jumped in front of me and I almost slammed into him. I growled,"What are you going to do now?" The boy said,"I'm going to help you. You don't need your revenge... yet..." I snarled,"Get to the point!" He said,"I'm going to take you to my former village. My friends will help you... but they might interrogate you first... so..." I said,"What? I'm not going to tell them anything! Besides, why should I tell you anything?" The boy grabbed my wrist and said,"Because I'm trying to help you. I made a shadow clone to stall Orochimaru!" I said,"Fine... I guess you're helping me... but at least tell me your name." He said,"Sasuke Uchiha. Don't you dare tell the villagers anything!" I snorted,"I can keep a secret. I've kept tons from my friends..." Sasuke smirked and said,"Come on... can you jump trees?" I nodded and he said,"Alright, just follow me. You better keep up because I can't wait for you all the time." He lead the way, and I jumped after him. I think I got through 8 trees before my legs failed me and turned to jelly. I kneeled on the tree and said,"Sasuke, wait. I think I used up all my energy on Orochimaru." Sasuke rolled his eyes and jumped back to where I was, lifted me up, and continued. I protested,"Dude! You don't just pick up a girl when you have no relationship with them! What the hell?" Sasuke asked,"Got a problem? Remember, I'm helping you." I rolled my eyes and said,"How did you even get friends?" Sasuke snorted,"I get friends cuz I'm awesome." I realized I was holding my backpack in my hand, so I unzipped it, took out the basketball I brought with me, threw it at his face, caught it in my hands, put it back, zipped it, and smiled as sweetly as I can. Sasuke glared at me, and I asked,"Got a problem?" Sasuke growled,"You're a difficult girl. Not exactly annoying like Sakura, but..." I said,"Whatever. Take me there, and get on with your so called master. I will try to find a way home, kick all their asses, and kick your master's again." Sasuke laughed and said,"Their asses are harder to kick than you think." I asked,"What did I actually do?" Sasuke looked away, then said,"Shadows. You control shadows, and you seem to manipulate them pretty well." I said,"Hmph. Didn't think you cared, Uchiha. You remind me of my first crush, the guy I hate now." Sasuke said,"Alright, I know how much you hate me now." I rolled my eyes and said,"Let's just... not talk for the rest of the trip." Sasuke nodded in agreement, and I accidentally fell asleep along the way. When I woke up, I expected to be in my bed and everything to be a dream, but I was still in Sasuke's arms. I jumped and he looked at me. He asked,"Had a nice nap?" I groaned,"It wasn't a dream?" He smirked,"Nope, this is the real deal." I sighed and asked,"We're still not there yet?" Sasuke said,"Now we are." He placed me on the ground, and I stood in front of the most natural, most unmodern, but beautiful village ever. I heard Sasuke say,"See ya Kira, remember not to say ANYTHING about me." I turned around and said,"Wait, how did you know-" But he was gone. I sighed and said,"Well, another challenger gone, another challenge to overcome." I turned back to the entrance to the village and took my first step."
