Chapter 1 Rina and her past
There is a legend in my village about the first ninja. He was the strongest and only ninja in the Land of Life. He was assigned to take down the Tentail beast. Villagers were scared of the beast and feared that it would destroy their homes. So the Ninja went into the forest where the beast lived. Once he was deep inside the forest he heard rustling in a nearby tree. Assuming that it was the Tentail, he throw some shurikens at the tree. A loud shriek rang throughout the forest. A girl with a long silver hair fell out of the tree. When the ninja got a closer look he noticed that she had wolf ears and tails. He was confused, was this the beast he was suppose to kill.
"Who are you?" Asked the ninja. The girl turned her head and looked the ninja straight in the eyes. He was enchanted by her giant purple eyes.
"I'm the Tentail wolf, are you here to kill me?" She asked staring at the ninja.
"No I'm not. You don't seem to be a threat." The ninja said smiling at the girl. She smiled back at him. And from that moment on their relationship only grew. They became great friends and the Ninja vowed to protect the tentail with his life. They were soon later married and they traveled the world teaching others the way of the ninja. When they returned to the Land of Life they created the Village Hidden within the spirit. The girl soon become pregnant. The other tailed beast became jealous of the Tentails happiness and placed a curse upon her.
"May the first born daughter of the Kurina clan be born with the mark of the village and be born with the same powers as the Tentail." But the children born to the girl and the ninja was a pair of twin boys . And all children born after were boys until I Rena Kurina was born.
As legend goes I was born with the symbol of the village on my side. And because of the Tentails powers I possess people in the village are scared of me. Only three people in the whole village talk to me. Speaking of those people I have to go meet up with them. As I ran through the village I was greeted by the usual whispering and glares. I wish I could just leave and never come back. But as I turned the corner to the training grounds I saw the reason why I stay. There stood Sam and Ichigo standing there talking.
"Good morning boys how are we today?" I asked I sat down on the boulder near them.
"Not so good. Sam here is complaining about being up this early." Ichigo said calmly pointing Sam.
"Really Sam. It's already ten in the morning." I said letting out a sigh. Sam is the type to complain a lot and is normally easy going or as other's say lazy. But when it's count he know's when to get down to business.
"But why does Rukia Sensei want to meet with us anyways?" Sam asked which annoyed Ichigo.
"You shouldn't complain. You should just listen to orders and follow them." Ichigo said getting in Sam's face. Ichigo was the well obedient one on the team and one of the smartest. He was always there for me and Sam. As I watched the two of them fighting someone came up behind me.
"Are those two already going at it?" Rukia Sensei asked as she stood beside me.
"Yep." I replied.
"Are they fighting over you?" Rukia Sensei asked smiling at me slyly.
"No!" I shouted causing the boys to look at me before turning back to their fight.
"I'm just playing with you. Well I guess that I should break them up." Rukia Sensei said as she walked over to the arguing boys. She grabbed both their heads and slammed them together with great forces. Ichigo and Sam both went down grabbing their heads. After cradling his head Ichigo walked over to me while Sam yelled at Rukia Sensei.
"So Rena where is Nova today?" Ichigo asked as we watched Sam yell at Rukia Sensei.
"She was tired so I left her at home." I said smiling at him. Nova was a white wolf pup that I found, and because my Tentail powers she was able to talk to me.
"Enough Sam get over there so I can tell you guys why I called you out!" Rukia sensei yelled at him. Sam walked over to Ichigo and me.
"Ok so the reason I called you out here is to talk to you guys about moving on from Genin to Chuunin." Rukia Sensei said crossing her arms.
"What is Chuunin?" Sam asked , I let out a sigh while Ichigo backed hand Sam in the head.
"Idiots, it's the next level of Shinobi." Ichigo said letting out a sigh.
"Anyways I have nominated your teams to enter the Chuunin exams which are being held in the Hidden Leaf Village this year. Now all you have to do is get permission from your parents and agree as a team to go." Rukia Sensei explained. We looked at each other, I was nervous. I really wanted to be a Chuunin but I have never traveled to another land before.
"You have until tomorrow to decide. I will wait at the gate, we leave at noon so I suggest that you discuss with each other then head home." Rukia Sensei said before disappearing.
"So what do you guys think?" asked Ichigo. I started to fumble with my thumbs.
"I'm all for it!" yelled Sam with excitement. They both looked at me with concerned eyes.
"Rena what about you?" asked Ichigo as he stared at me.
"I don't know ….I mean…." I let out a sigh and hung my head. Ichigo sat down next to me on the boulder.
"Rena I know that you're scared about leaving the country. About the what we have to face. And you're scared people might find out about you and treat you like people do here. But you will have me and Sam. We will protect you." Ichigo said smiling at me.
Some tears ran down my face as I smiled at him and Sam.
"Look what you did Ichigo. You made her cry!" Sam yelled when he saw the tears.
"NO I didn't!" Ichigo exclaimed as he looked at me.
"No. I'm happy that I have great friends like you. And as long as I have you guys I think I can do this." I said as I continued to smile at him.
"Yes! Finally we get to leave this boring country. Squad six is going to kick butt at the exams." Yelled Sam. Me and Ichigo looked at each other before we started to laugh.
