It hurt. It hurt so bad. Her insides felt twisted and gnarled with anxiety even if she only had a gash across her stomach. Her arms were not broken but were useless beside her as she laid sprawled out on the ground moist with her blood. Her ears perked up as she heard her attacker coming near.
"Intel was wrong about you. You were suppose to have the dragon's eye, demon exorcist and elementium blood in you. Instead of a powerful opponent, I find a little girl whose only skill is to throw around weapon and some taijutsu. Any worthy opponent would be able to at least use genjutsu or ninjutsu and yet you have none. You couldn't even be used for a seduction mission. You are not even a kunoichi. You are worthless." said a man from the shadows as he stepped out into the light and into her line of vision.
A man roughly in his thirties stepped out into the light in front of her. He had bronzed his taunt with muscles but not overly so. He had cropped silver hair and black eyes filled with hatred directed at her. He had on an eye patch but even with that one eye his gaze still burned her.
"Why, I don't know what you're talking about?" she asked. She didn't know him and she wasn't out on a mission. This made no sense to break into a village and solely attack the villages weapon mistress. On top of all this she didn't know what the hell the dragon's eye was or what and elementium was and she certainly wasn't a demon exorcist.
"My name is Celebrium. I have spent my life destroying that wretched bloodline and its cursed blood. With no apparent abilities of that bloodline I suppose I could leave you alive. As worthless as you are right now, if I leave you alive you might find some worth of being to cling to. I have no further use for you." he said walking away.
Anger overcame her in such a way that it felt like fire running through her veins. She watched his back retreat into the distance. Worthless, she growled to herself. She'd show him. He hadn't been the first to treat her like that, others had too, only not in so many words. She'd show them all. Those being her last thought as her body shut down on her.
When she awoke again she was in a meadow and it was dark out. A figure came to her and lifted her chin and sighed. She pulled her up into her arms and laid Tenten on her lap with no resistance from Tenten. She had long brunette hair and the strangest golden eyes. They seemed all seeing and all knowing as she looked into Tenten's eyes. She was slim in figure and short in stature but there was an unmistakable strength emanating from her.
"Do you truly want to become stronger no matter the hardships you will face to do so? Think carefully before you answer me." she asked.
"Yes. If there is more of me I can unlock, I want it. If I want people to accept and embrace me I have to embrace and love myself. I'm tired of being treated as nothing when I'm something. I want to know more about who I truly am. I don't want anymore made up stories from someone about where I came from and who my family was when in truth they know nothing. I want to know who I am, all of me, so I can end this hollow half life existence and become whole."
"You remind me of myself when I was young. Even when you were small you had such conviction in your eyes. I love that about you, once you've make up your mind it's pretty much impossible to stop you. I'll tell you who you truly are and why part of you was sealed away within your self." she said. "I sealed my soul inside of you when I sealed part of you away, so when you were able to awaken or needed the strength to continue I could teach you. You are of the last descendant of the dragon eye, demon exorcist, and elementium bloodline's. You are the last because we were foolish. In our excitement to push our limits to see just how strong we could be as a clan and as a whole, people began to fear us because they did not know us or our capabilities. Ignorance bred fear and fear us they did. We wanted to join together the all three of our clan's bloodline's to it's fullest capabilities. Let me explain each class to you. First off I'll explain the dragon's eye to you. The dragon's eye can be used to see the past, present, and the future. When activated in a battle you will know what your opponent will do and then rightly counterattack. However it not only attacks it's opponents, it will attack you as well if you let your guard down while using it. It's a power that cannot be taken lightly. As a Demon Exorcist, to defeat demon's we ourselves become demon's. We become dragons. Not large and scaly though we transcend and become similar. There are three forms. The earth, sky, and the heaven's dragon's. The earth dragon's power is focused on the legs and part of you that is closet to the earth. The sky dragon focuses on you upper body. Finally the heaven's dragon empowers your whole body. While each form is powerful in it's own right, it can be a sensory overload when used too long and can overwhelm and kill you. It can only do that if you let it though. Lastly there is the elementium blood. There are several elements: Earth, wind, water, and fire. They branch off and all have different forms besides their given names. For example, earth is the soil you tread upon but it is also the rock's beneath and above it. Also in water there is ice. Fire is different for it's electricity since it conducted heat. In wind there is not only a gentle breeze but also the pressure that comes with it. While this blood is less dangerous to you, always keep in mind that you have to control the energy invested upon yourself. We succeeded in joining the bloods, you are living proof. You lived in peace with us for about three years until our village was attacked. You have to understand they feared us and in our own ignorance we offered no explanation of who we were and what so the fear grew and spread out of control. While taken by surprise with our powers we fought and defeated them again and again, moving from our village to stop the bloodshed. They followed us though and in time they knew our powers. They called us possessed and cursed beings. They made a clan solely for hunting us down in cold blood. They thought they were justified in killing us. They just wanted to justify murder. The clan they made, while having no supernatural power beyond a normal ninja, each have specialized fields and were trained intensely in it from the age of five on. They were sent out on assassination missions at the ages of ten and up to bring in money when they couldn't find one of us to slaughter. They were trained to keep their mind blank in hope that we could not use the dragon's eyes since it seemed the most dangerous to them. Even after all the bloodshed they still know very little about our abilities just the basic facts and not in any true detail. We moved from place to place and fought till there was only the two of us. You were five by then. I knew we would last long, my only satisfaction is that in their desperate attempt to kill every single one of us, it had dwindled their clan to two of them. I did the only thing I could to keep you alive. I sealed part of you away. I made you look more normal, plain, to easier be able to integrate into a crowd. Doing that also sealed away your memories, so when you awoke in a strange town you didn't know anything. However, when I sealed you I sealed my soul in you so I could help you when the time arose. It killed me of course because no one can live without a soul, but I live on in you."
She gave her time to absorb the information before continuing. "Your full name is Orianna Maeve Long. It means intoxicating golden dragon. When you stumbled into Konoha they're Hokage gave you the name Tenten. You were my little dragon and I wish I could physically be with you, but alas it's not to be. Remember you're never alone, for as long as your alive I am too. You will always have me, that I promise you as your mother. There are people waiting for you to awaken so I shall release my hold on you for now. I have broken the seal so you will look different. Be prepared, your powers are also unleashed and in a more suitable time I will come for you and train you so they don't overcome you. Awaken my little dragon."

A/N: What do you think of the first chapter? Exciting, bland? I have a more clear passage for this story then the others and will try to update more. I'll try to continue to other stories too but I can't promise since if I cant I don't want to break said promise. Anyway as of now there is no decided pairing by next chapter or so I shall try to establish one. I don't own Naruto or Tenjho Tenge where I got the Dragon's Eye and Demon Exorcist idea from. That will probably be the only time I say it but we all know the proper owners so its all good. Lastly but certainly not least thank you to PissedxOffxPrincessx18 for being my Beta. Thanks a bunch. Please review for more.
