【Updated 2021】 --- No matter what they said, it was Ryuu's very own fault. She wasn't the oh-so-kind-girl-who-happened-to-be-born-with-a-curse, she was a ruthless killer, a betrayer, a selfish girl. And she has to pay for her actions. Not allowed to die; Not allowed freedom; Not allowed happiness. This was the chance given to her by the heavens to redeem herself. To swear to the blood flowing inside her and protect King Hiryuu for as long as she lives. She was granted great power by the four dragons - a hand to destroy everything in its path, an eye to look to long distances, an leg with great jumping capacity, and indestructible body. Just not as powerful. Not enough to be remembered, even by the legends. Can you hear? In the quietest of nights, barely as loud as a whisper, the silent screams of the colourless dragon. - I do not own the Akatsuki no Yona anime and manga, but I do own Ryuu, my OC. - There will be romance later into the book. - Spoiler alert: It is advised to finish the anime AND the manga as I will be following the plot closely.

Kiyomi Himura has a rather large problem. A chakra beast with an earth nature, the wolf named Fenrir, sealed himself inside her at a young age. Originally from Yamagakure, the Village Hidden in the Mountains, Kiyomi had to leave at the age of five when her parents died on a mission. Her brother Kaien took them to Konohagakure, the original home of their parents, and the Hokage allowed them to settle in. Fast forward four years, and now Kaien is dead. He'd attempted the same mission as their parents, and while his team completed it, he died in the process. But Kiyomi isn't alone. She still has her guardian Hachi, a retired Jonin who the Hokage assigned to look after her, considering she was nine. And of course, Fenrir is still there inside her. Kiyomi grows with the Hidden Leaf, knowing all the other would-be shinobi in her class, including Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. But she keeps herself distant, seeing how they treat Naruto, who's also housing a beast. And she stays this way until the graduation. Kiyomi's placed on the five-man team of Team Seven, and has no other choice but to open up to her teammates, and the other graduates. She learns more about her connection to Fenrir, and how to utilize it in a fight, giving her a unique fighting style few others could accomplish. And she may also find romance along her journey of adventure, mystery, and everything else being a shinobi is about! That totally didn't sound cliche or anything... *Quick Author's Note- In this story, all teams will have five members. All canon teams, I have added an OC to. Just to make sure you're all not confused. Cover credit to ILoveWolvezz!
