An Endangered Female Alpha

Magic

By the age of six, Taiga has mastered ninjitsu and Shaolin kung-fu. She was getting strong physically and obediently followed her masters orders. "Taiga." Usui was calling her to train for the day, she bowed and followed him. Today Usui was training her in surprise attacks and how to win the fight. "Always hear the enemy before you see them." Usui said as two ninjas came out of nowhere throwing wood shrinkens at her. She dodged them with ease.

"You are doing well yet you are still focused on sight! You can't win based on sight." His voice was stern. "You have four other senses you need to use." He said. "Now I take your sight." He walked to her and placed a blindfold on her. "Again!" She focused on sound and scent, dodging a few shrinkens while two had grazed her arms. Once training was done she was dismissed to her room. She sat down at a small table in her room, a slight sting came from her arm. She looked at the incision all the while blue specks of light appeared, all going to her injury healing it back as if nothing happened.

"How is her training going?" Master asked that night. "She is doing well and has nearly caught up with the other ninjas." He began. "For a child she has more than enough stamina, she will surpass us one day." He said. The master crossed his arms in thought. "We need to be ready for when her power emerges. She could be friend or foe." He said then closing his eyes. "Yes master."

Time went by and Taiga grew up, by the time she was eight she had mastered the bow and arrows blindfolded. She had the power to leap higher than the others and run at longer distances yet she never spoke a word. Usui came to her one day as it was time for her to forge her own weapon. "Taiga, come." She bowed and followed him. They walked over to a small shed where tools lead, a furnace to another side. Two blacksmiths were working on katanas. "You will forge you very own weapon here and will train to master it." Taiga simply stood there.

In the next two weeks Taiga worked on her weapon of choice. Usui thought it would be another katana or shrinkens yet Taiga had other plans. She found the metal she wanted and began to work. Pounding every inch of the metal; fire red she pounded away. In the ensuing weeks Taiga trained and formed her own weapon she would use once she becomes a master herself, if that day ever comes.

Taiga had turned ten years of age when on a stormy night her magic swirled within her very being. She was asleep as her magic took form causing her to wake in sudden agonizing pain she clutched her chest. Rolling over in pain, sweating and breathing hard to stay calm not understanding the cause of pain. Thunder rolled, lightning strikes in the clouds. Her eyes glowed brightly as the air began to feel tight. Another thunder rolled, Taiga screamed before all went dead silent. Nothing made a sound, a faint blue light came from her room. Master and Usui came in slowly not sure what to expect. Their eyes grew wide in both shock and fear at what they were faced with. Where she once was now a white wolf with many tails. Blue marking adorn her face and torso, she was beautiful.

She stood on all fours yet had difficult time in that small room. She ran out crushing the sliding door. She ran out and into the open other ninjas were ready to attack yet master remained calm. "She is of no harm." He said. Taiga sat, her tails wagged a bit before she licked her paws. The next two months she was in wolf form. "When will she change back?" Usui asked one rainy day. Master sat sipping his tea, eyes closed in relaxation. "When she wants to." He finally said. He opened his eyes while looking at her playing out in the rain.

Later that night she walked the edge of cliff where a small bridge connected her house to a small pagoda. She was too big to fit on the bridge. She could leap but would not have a place to land if not land on top the pagoda and possibly crush it yet she did so anyways. She had a plan in mind, mid jump she made herself shift back into human form landing perfectly on the other side of the bridge. She smiled to herself.

"She has a long rode ahead of her furthermore a day will come when her peaceful world will be broken." Master said before returning to his chambers. Usui simply bowed and wondered what he meant.
