The Blue Dragon Clan

Chapter 1: At the Beginning

***10 Years Later***

I'm running barefoot through the crowd. "Get back here thief! Stop!" I ignore the angry voice behind me and clutch the loaf of bread to me. I dodge past a cart in my way, causing me to lose the man chasing me.

"Now to get back to Yin and Yang." I think as I walk to a bridge covered in snow. I notice a person on the bridge. I ignore him and head under the bridge. There is a little nest of scraps and leaves. Suddenly, a black blur jumps out and tackles me, closely followed by a white blur. "Get off me Yang!" I yell as the little black wolf cub licks my face. Yang got off and went back to the nest. The while wolf cub walks over to see if I was alright. 'I'm okay, Yin. I brought dinner," I say, and break the loaf of bread in three. I hand one to Yin and one to Yang, eating the last part for myself.

"So, this is where you're hiding," I spin around to face the baker that I stole from. Yin and Yang growled and bared their fangs at the man. He took a step back, but regained his confidence and ran at me. I face him, unafraid and motion at the water, which rushes towards me and covers the baker. I blow cold air at him and he freezes.

"Hey look, a dumb-sickle," I smirk, and the pups seemed to smile as they glared at the baker. His face was frozen in anger, but his eyes were full of fear. I looked at him sadly, and then motioned at the nest of rags. They floated in the air and followed me. "Looks like we'll have to find a new home again guys." I say sadly and look at the pups. They look at me and whine, then their ears perk up and they stat to growl.

"Why don't you come with me, girl?" I look up and see a man leaning on the edge of the bridge.

"Who are you?" I growl, taking a fighting stance. The man had short, spiky hair, and his face was covered in bandages, only showing his eyes. He had a huge sword on his back. This caught my eyes, and I stared at it. He noticed this.

"If you join me, I can get you a sword like mine," he said. I glare at him.

"Should I trust this guy, he's a complete stranger. He looks like an assassin. He shouldn't be messed with," I think. I looked at the sword. "Oh Screw It, I want a sword!" I think. I turn to the man. "Why do you want me to join you?" I ask. He jumps off the bridge, and lands in front of me.

"You have a special gift that will come in handy in the future," he said. I look at Yin and Yang. They look at him up and down, than at me with approval. I smile and turn to the man.

"Okay, I'll go with you," I say. He smirks and says,

"Good choice, follow me." He turns and walks along the river. I shrug and follow him with my rags and pups following me. He leads me to another village and takes me into a store. "You need some new clothes, choose whatever you want," he says. I look at him with surprise. I smile and hug him.

"Thank You!" I squealed and ran off, leaving behind the very confused man. I look at all the clothes and choose. "I'll try these on." I say to the man. "Oh yeah, what is your name?" I ask.

"Zabuza, now get changed." He says, shoving me into the dressing room. I change and showed Zabuza. He nods and walks out of the store. I walk over to the register and noticed that nobody was there. I look around, and then walked out the door, sill wearing my new outfit. "Haku should be at the hide out. I'll show you to it. You will stay there with us there," Zabuza ordered.

"Hai! Who's Haku?" I ask, tilting my head to the side. Zabuza stays silent and just walks away. "Jerk!" I scream in my head. I scowl and followed him, wondering who this Haku person was.

"We're here," Zabuza said, and stops in front of a huge mansion. I walk up to the other gate with Zabuza. A boy as old as I walks out of the house.
