This process went on for at least two hours before he finally awoke, and when he did, he felt groggy and tired. The same dream had been occurring every night for the past week and a half, yet he could never recall it in its entirety that well after he would wake up. Something involving a sinister looking dragon and a glowing object is all he could remember. As he lie awake in bed, he stared blankly at the pale ceiling above him, reflecting on the dream. The sun blared through the single window to his left and cast a rather large beam of light onto his black bed spread. Dust was easily visible in the light and gave the room a slightly eerie mood since everything else in the room was black as well, except for the white walls plastered with posters of famous ninja like the legendary Sannin. Jin laid in bed for a good five more minutes before actually deciding to move from his bed and onto the chilled hardwood floor of his room. He shivered a bit before sluggishly moving to his closet at the back of the room from which he grabbed his daily garb. He yawned sheepishly and quickly dressed himself. "Jin, are you ready for the day?" A female voice called from beyond his room's walls. "No, not yet mom..." He yawned again. "Well hurry up! Your father's been waiting for you. He said he needs to talk to you about something." "Something like what?" There was an air of fear to his voice as it trembled slightly on the last word. His mind ran through the possibilities of what it could be his father wanted. 'Can't be my grades...I'm acing everything...' He thought. 'Oh..crap...what if it's about that tree I accidentally set on fire in the backyard a few days ago! I know I covered it up right...didn't I...or...damn...' "I don't know... you'll find out soon enough I guess." "Ok, I'm coming...." Jin dragged himself out of his comfortable room, down the dim hallway that connected that part of the house with the main part of the house, and into the grand living of the house, where his mother was quietly seated at the table in the middle of the room. She looked to be in her mid to later 20s, but still had the air of a teenage girl. Her hair was bright red, long, and silky and her eyes a luminous emerald green. She cocked a smile to her unnerved son and motioned him to go out the front door. "Don't just stand there, Jin. Get moving. I'm not helping you out there." Jin sighed and proceeded to the oak door that was the main entrance to his home. He slid it gently open, but not all the way. He could see his father standing motionless some feet away from the door. Jin watched him, trying to guess what type of mood he was in, but failed to get anything since his back was turned to him. Then his father suddenly turned his head to the side and look dead at him through the cracked opening. "Jin? Are you going to come out or not?" His father spoke in an even, unwavering tone, which further puzzled Jin. There was no way to ascertain his father's mood, so he sighed again in defeat. He fully opened the door and stepped outside onto the soft dirt path in front of the door. The air was chilled to a degree and Jin shivered. It was early morning, around 7 AM, and he was outside, in the cold, probably about to be scolded. He crept over to his father and looked up at him. The man's hair was wild and black. His eyes, a deep shade of violet, looked straight ahead, as if looking into a far off abyss. "Err...hey dad..." Jin said nervously. "What's up....?" "You've been having a recurring dream haven't you? One with a black dragon right?" Des spoke without facing his son, just looking ahead. "Uhh...yeah. How'd you know?" Jin was puzzled. Could his father see into his dreams? Or even worse, read his mind?! "You're about that age, Jin. Where a Kanefura's ancestral blood begins to stir and your powers awaken. Your Jitenkokugan is beginning to awaken, Jin." "My...my what?! " Des sighed at his son's ignorance. "Jitenkokugan, Jin. The inherit trait of all Kanefura. The ability to become one with the black dragon. We've discussed this before. Have you forgotten?" "Err no...I was just surprised." He lied. He had forgotten almost everything about his clan's heritage over the past few months. "So ...when can I use it?" "It will activate when the time is right. After that, you'll be training with me again to hone your abilities. And, after that, you're on your own." "Ummm, alright...is that all you wanted to talk to me about?" "I would say that's about it. Though I'm wondering who was the one who damaged one of the trees in the backyard...Jin." Jin flinched. "Ahahaha, yeah about that...well...uhh..gotta run!" Jin darted off from their property and headed towards the Ninja Academy, with a guilty look on his face and a bit of fear in his heart. Edited by Des, Dec 17 2008, 06:44 AM.
