Chapter 1- The Rare Mark
Narrator-
On top of the infamous dragon mountain, home of all dragons, who were betrayed by shinobi and abandoned all hope of ever trusting ninja again. Until the prophecy of the eldest dragon was spoken "Yin and Yang, Dark and Light, Twins are born to face what's right, the dragons' seal holds their fate, until they arrive at the leaf gate, but beware the price this power holds, it will haunt your dreams, and make them real, until it makes you hear the awful screams...
*flashback*
Minato Taichi, the leader of the Taichi clan, has light brown hair that sticks up in weird ways. He wears black pants with a white tank top covered by an open cloak with sleeves ripped off and black sandals. Ami Taichi, the wife of Minato, has long blonde hair down to her waist. She wears a white skirt to her knees, a black tank top that stops before her abdomen and a white sweater with white sandals.
Minato and Ami were loved and adored by the whole clan. The two of them were also very well trusted to lead their clan to greatness. The clan is in the middle of nowhere in the land of sound unaffiliated with any villages or non clan members.
Minato and Ami are relaxing caring for their newborn twins named Daishiro and Makuroto, when Ami notices a mark on Makuroto's left leg and Minato notices the same mark on Daishiro's right arm. "This mark looks like a dragon and this dragon looks like a tattoo," Ami said.
"They both have the tattoo sweetheart," Minato states obviously.
"Minato?!" Ami asks angrily, "When did you take them to a tattoo parlor?"
"W-w-what? I never took them I was about to ask you!"Minato says shocked moving towards anger.
"Well if neither of us took them then it must be a birthmark." Ami defensively objects.
A few years later…
Minato and Ami were walking with the boys to the park.
Daishiro's point of view-
Mom and Dad were talking while Makuroto and I were racing to the slide. We ended up going down at the same time and getting stuck halfway down the slide. Mom and Dad came over and pushed Makuroto in front of me and down the slide first. I got off the slide and ran to the monkey bars. We both then went to the swings. Mom pushed me while Dad walked away with Makuroto. He must have had to go to the bathroom. I wandered down by the river and started to skip rocks.
Makuroto's point of view-
I watched mom push Daishiro on the swings and got this feeling in the pit of my stomach. But it quickly diminished as my father put his hand on my shoulder and guided me to a deserted corner of the park. "Makuroto turn around, please."
"Why"? I asked.
"Just do as you're told". He instructed. I skeptically turned around and as I did, he put something around my neck. I tensed, but then relaxed when I looked down and saw what it was, "A necklace"?
"A special, necklace". He corrected. I examined it closer and found that it was the yin-yang symbol in the middle with a silver bead on each side. Suddenly I felt a strange rush of power.
"Wow! Wait, why did you give it to me? Why not Daishiro?" I asked
"The answer will come to you".
"Don't talk to me like a greeting card! Why don't you just tell me?"
"Aren't you full of questions today." He replied with a smirk. With a quick ruffle of my hair he walk back to the others leaving me standing there, confused.
Three years later….
Daishiro's point of view-
It was an average day in the clan. Makuroto and I were in a tree playing a game of shōgi when we both started seeing a thick smoke cloud overhead. Makuroto smacked the board away after he realized he was going to lose as I got up and climbed higher in the tree to see where the smoke was coming from. To my surprise I see the smoke coming from our house!
"Makuroto get over your loss and run home!" I shouted.
"Why Daishiro? I'm sure the fire warriors can handle the fire." Makuroto stated calmly.
"Because you idiot it is our house that's on fire!"I yell as I start to run home. Makuroto stood there a moment stunned then took off after me.
"Why didn't you say that in the first place? You're the idiot for thinking I would run right away." Makuroto stated firmly.
We run all the way home to hear fighting going on inside while the building was burning down. I run in and start looking for Ryu (my pet red and black ferret). I find Ryu in his cage and open it. He crawls out and onto my shoulder. I then move to find my parents in their political room fighting strange…. Things…? They looked human, but had animal features… I scan the room looking for anyone I know and notice there are more creatures than there were politicians and found that a lot of them were dead… including Mom…
Makuroto started to run into the fight but I pulled him back out of the way and stood in front of him to get hit in the face by a flying kunai. Then Dad spotted us and gave me a grave look. "Daishiro, Makuroto! Get out of here and NEVER return!" he yelled.
I stood for a moment wondering when Makuroto caught up to me but then thought better of it as I noticed Dad take a brutal blow to the stomach and took off running with tears going down my cheeks.
Makuroto's point of view-
Daishiro and I were playing a game of shōgi up in a tree not too far from our house when I saw dark smoke rise over our heads. Before I could register that, I noticed that Daishiro was about to put me into "checkmate". Letting my temper get the best of me I smacked the board away, just as Daishiro got up to climb the tree higher. Probably just getting a better look I thought, as he came back down he yelled, "Makuroto get over your loss and run home!"
"Why Daishiro? I'm sure the fire warriors can handle the fire." I stated calmly.
"Because you idiot it is our house that's on fire!"He yelled as he started to run home. I stood there a moment, stunned, and then took off after him.
"Why didn't you say that in the first place? You're the idiot for thinking I would run right away." I stated firmly.
When we got to our house I stood there for a moment, mesmerized by the flames, but quickly snapped out of it when I saw Daishiro run into the house. He's going after that stupid ferret isn't he? I realized. I yelled for some water style users to dose the house before I tore after him. I found him standing still as a statue, watching the battle rage. I saw that not only were our opponents strong, but not entirely human! I scanned the room trying to make sense of what was happening when I saw her. My mother lying dead on the floor of our home, a home we shared many happy memories. I couldn't stop the tears as they ran down my cheeks. Then I felt a feeling I had never felt before, it was, rage. I-I want them….. Dead…all of them!
"Nooooo!" I screamed as I lunged forward to attack only to be grabbed by the collar and pulled back by Daishiro.
Dad spotted us and gave me a grave look. "Daishiro, Makuroto! Get out of here and NEVER return!" he yelled.
I was practically being dragged out by Daishiro, but before we left the last thing I saw was my father receiving a devastating blow to the stomach."Dad" I said weakly as I was pulled out of my home never to return again.
