And I will be writing for my character, Shadow! So are we good? GOOD! Then let's get on with the story!

Chapter one: Leaving home!

Hello everyone. My name is Shadow. And I'm here to tell you the story of my past. In this story, you will find out how I mastered Kung Fu. How I learned about my power's. How I survived out there and how I met one of my best friends and adopted sister, Kasaru! And so, with out further ado! Or a don't. On to the story!

Alright. I think we should do a quick over view of what's happened to me. I have just lost my parent's. And my best friend, Tigress and I have taken to the wood's. Trying to escape from the evil Tanis and his men.

"Come on Shadow! We've got to keep running!" Tigress yelled to me.

We could hear Tanis' men. They were closing in on us. She grabbed my paw and dragged me along after her. We both ran as fast as we could, but it was no use. They were going to catch us, unless we did something. And I knew what that something had to be. I quickly pulled Tigress to a halt.

"Tigress. Go north. I'll go south. I can draw them off your course!" I said. I was panting hard.

Tigress shook her head and said stubbornly, "No way! We stick together! No matter what!"

I shook my head. "You don't understand! We have a better chance, if we split up. I'm not going to watch you get hurt. I can't lose you too!" I said, tear's in my eyes. I knew she didn't want to. "please Tigress! You're my best friend! I can't watch you get hurt!"

She sighed, "Ok..." she said. Tear's began to roll down her face. I could feel them on mine as well.

"I'll never forget you, Shadow!" she said. We pulled each other into a tight hug.

"Neither will I!" I replied quietly.

We pulled apart. And stared at each other sadly.

"Go!" I said, when we heard Tanis' men getting closer.

"Good bye, Shadow!" Tigress said. Then she turned and ran away.

I stood there; Tears streaming down my face; Not knowing what to do. When Tanis' men came through the tree's.

"There you are, ya little brat! It's time to meet your maker!" the lead wolf growled at me.

I growled at them and bared my teeth. I crouched down. Then took off running, as fast as I could. They dropped down to all four's and chased me through the wood's.

I ran as fast and hard. I couldn't keep going much longer. I continued to run, when suddenly I fell into a deep, dark hole. I covered my mouth with my paw, so that I wouldn't scream. When I hit the ground, I quickly backed into the wall. I hoped they wouldn't see where I had gone

"Where'd the brat go?" one of them yelled.

"How should I know?" another one asked.

"Aw, forget her! She's probably dead anyways! Let's just get back. We'll tell Master Tanis that she died!", I heard the leader say.

They all agreed and I heard them run off. I stayed down in that hole, until it was well past dark. Then I crawled out quietly. I looked around, and when I saw that I was all alone, I ran off as fast as I could. I didn't stop until I came to a small cave. I took a look inside. It was empty.

'Good…' I thought, happily to myself. Then I carefully and quietly walked inside.

I walked towards the back of the cave. I sat down on the cold floor. I was shivering. I curled up into a tight ball. I was very cold and tired. I soon fell asleep. I dreamed all night long; I dreamed about Tigress; I dreamed about my parent's; and I dreamed about Leon.

I thought he was my friend. I thought we would always be together.

Then my dream's turned to Tanis. He scared me so much.

But for Pete's sake's. I am three after all! Just about anyone could scare a three year old!

I tried to sleep peacefully. But all I could do was dream. All night I dreamed about them. And what Tanis had done to them. Nothing I did. Nothing I said to myself. Nothing could make me feel better.

Not after what I have been through...

Well, as sad and short as that was. It's the first chapter! Hope you all liked it! And trust me. There's more to come soon! So yeah. Be sure to check back soon, for the next chapter! And don't forget to check out, Moody Shadow. And his story, Kasaru's legacy!
