Prologue

War, it causes us to become something worse than humans, it makes us become demons. Hatred fostered between people all because they live in different places, blood spilled over worthless land. During these wars there became a myth that sprouted of a clan that was able to be one with nature in a way. The children were born with special abilities as they had the blood of shadow foxes in them. Children so strong that there were stories of children who could single handedly destroying villages. Soon they were known as the demon fox clan, only no one knew where they were at as they slowly disappeared.

Just like everything, the legend faded with time. Now few people even knew that there was such a clan that existed. The legend slowly dwindled and as it did, so did the secret clan. Over the generations the power was forgotten, the children did not learn of their mighty strength. Now with the clan reduced to almost nothing they split up and went to different villages to live.

Growing up these kids had the most hardship as they struggled to be accepted in today's world of ninjas and war. Our story starts out in the life of a young girl, where she struggles to become a strong ninja in the middle of a raging war.

Chapter 1 – Dream Of Fire

A young girl silently lies in the grass with her hands back behind her head in a relaxed position. The tall grass swayed softly around her as the light breeze moved through the night air. With the sound of rustling grass around her she could feel that something was wrong. People were moving through the grass in a stealthy manor by the sound of it, the enemy must be attacking by night.

"Fools..." She quietly muttered as she listened to the direction they were headed before crawling on her hands and knees through the grass till she was behind them.

One stopped for a second looking around as if he heard something "What was that?" His comrade looked at him what a questioning look in his eyes "What was what?" The first man shrugged it off "We need to hurry"

Upon the ninja saying that the farthest ninja in back was suddenly yanked down by the throat into the grass. The girl swiftly brought out her kunai as she slit the ninja's throat open. She ripped off the man's mouth cover to find that the man was a member of a neighboring village. It was worse than that; he was the father of her childhood friend.

The men had all heard their buddy go down and instantly threw their kunai at where the man had fallen. The girl leapt from her spot and high into the air before coming down on another man and slammed her kunai into his chest.

As soon as the man toppled to the ground she took off running through the grass as fast as she could towards the village. The man who had first heard the noise drew his kunai "Stop her!! She's headed to warn the village!!" The men then proceeded to chase after her and throw kunai at her.

Once she got to the path a ninja caught up with her and grabbed her by the waist "Well, if it isn't Kita." He put his other hand over her mouth as he looked at the others "Let's make her watch the village burn before we kill her." One piped up before the captor shook his head "We make her watch and then keep her captive." The men agreed as they went through the sleeping village and began setting everything on fire.

Kita tried struggling to get away but her strength didn't match that of her captor. Slowly everything faded to black as she began to wake up from her memory. She awoke in a makeshift bed in a worn down house, the refuge that she resided in.

Sitting up she could see by the sun shining through the holes in the roof that it was midday. A 13 year old boy walked into the house with a proud look on his face "Happy birthday Kita!! I brought breakfast!" He announced before dropping a sack which he opened to reveal a bunch of food.

Kita sighed softly as she looked at the food then him "I thought we agreed that you would stop stealing food."

The boy folded his arms and looked away with a defiant look on his face "I never agreed to that." He looked at her sternly "Plus it's your birthday! We should be celebrating!"

The girl's features saddened as she remembered that fact "That is today, isn't it?"

The boy grew concerned as he sat down next to her "Kita, you need to forget the past and move forward. All of that happened two years ago, the country isn't at war anymore."

Kita sighed softly as she nodded and got up "Alright then, if we are going to start new lives then we should go to the konoha, The Village hidden in the leaves."

End of Chapter 1

Next Time: "Let's call it a date"

Naruto looked up at the sky before pointing lazily at a cloud "That one looks like pervy-sage. That one over there looks like Sasuke when he's constipated." He chuckled a moment at his own comment "Man, these clouds can look like anything, can't they?"

Kita smiled softly while watching the same sky "Yep, they can"

The knuckleheaded ninja looked at her with a pure smile "We should hang out tomorrow, that's if you want to." Kita nodded softly "Sure. Let's call it a date."

Don't miss it!!
