Chapter 2
I finally made it to Japan. Now I have to find Hideyoshi. How would I even get in touch with him? If I walked up to him, would he even speak with me? He's so important that I'm sure he's well guarded. I dont think I'll be allowed within touching distance from him.
Here I am, a powerful dragon, but so weak at the same time.
Well, better get started. The search won't start itself. How am I going to find Hideyoshi? I'll just walk around until I figure something out.
Japan is so lively and packed. Ive been walking around for hours and I still dont know how to find or get in touch with Hideyoshi. I'm walking around completely clueless. Not knowing what to do. Before I realized what I did, it was to late. I partially let my dragon out. Zira now knew where to find me.
"Damnit! How could I be so stupid! So... weak as to ler that happen?! I'll never find Hideyoshi before she finds me."
I need to find somewhere to hide and quick. I looked around for a place to duck into, but I'm completely out in the open.
"Shit!" I startes to run in hopes of finding a place to hide, but it was to late. I felt the overwhelming burst of power. Zira's found me and she is so close my skin has started to crawl. I know she will be able to pick me out of the crowed since I'm wearing traditional Chinese clothing. She never let me wear modern clothing. This way she was alway able to spot me a mile away.
"Hello, Yuri. I'm so glad I found you. Your mothers been so worried about you she begged me to come get you." I was frozen in fear, with my back turned to her, and that was a mistake.
I closed my eyes in defeat and let the tears fall freely.
Damnit! How did I ever think I could ger away from her indefinitely? How did I ever believe I could defy her and live? Someone please help me! I don't want to go back!"I wasnt aware that China's dragon queen would be in Japan." my eyes snapped open and I spun around so fast I almost fell over. "Hideyoshi." I managed to whisper and that got his attention. He looked at me, and im guessing he saw the fear changing to relief.
I slowly backed away from Zira, but she noticed, and she turned toward me with a look that promised pain when she got her hands on me. Hideyoshi on the other hand wasn't having any of it. "Go home Black Queen." she staryed to reach for me, but he grabbed me and pulled me into him. "The girl stays."
"You'll regret this, Hideyoshi. You won't have her for long. Yuri belongs to me." she turned and left. I'm so relieved that I fall to my knees.
"Who are you to her, and why are you hear?"
I look up and can't stop the tears from falling. I've never cried so much in my life. This isn't like me, I'm stronger then this. I whipped the tears, stood up and looked him in the eye. "My name is Tenshin Yuri, and I've come to ask for your help. I was born here in Japan, but the queen foced my mother to grab me ans took up back to China with her. Her goal is to break me completely, only to build me back up, and in doing so create the new me in her image. Once I was cold hearted and loved to kill others for fun, she was going to gift me to her son, Trent, as his bride. My mother told me to run and never look back. I could only think of two forces that could take her on and win. Oda and Uesugi/Takeda. I outrank her in power, but not experience."
He furrowed his brow and looked away. "Why does she want you so bad?" as I looked at him, I knew without a doubt, he didnt know.
"I figure one look at me and anyone would know based off my looks. Hair that white as freshly fallen snow, eyes that borderlind silver and crystal in color..." not even a glimmer of knowledge on my type of dragon. "Okay. Well. In short, she wants me because im a white dragon. We're rare, and very powerful from what I've read and heard. But, we don't live as long because we are hunted for our power or because we hold to much power and some don't like it." Silence filles the air. "I'll understand if you don't want to help me."
"It's not that I don't want to, I'm just not sure we could." I looked down in defeat, but that didn't last long. I had to find a way to stop her for good.
"I only have one other choice left then. I need to go back to the past and change it. She has to be stopped. I can't allow her to keep going on like this. Will you send me back in time? I know all dragons can do it, but I can't since she can track me theough my dragons magic."
"How far?"
"It's better if you don't know. Just leave that part to me."
