*Previously entitled 'A Girl Who Caught Fire'* A young girl appeared at the gates of the Hidden Leaf Village, a horrendous thunderstorm in her wake. Ayako, aged sixteen, had nowhere else to go. She awoke at the village's hospital - exhausted - and met the ninjas of her age. As the world entered a new war Ayako discovered that she played a much greater role than she'd ever imagined, one she needed to understand, and quickly. Unfortunately her past decided it would follow her, loving to annoy her. So, she never felt surprised when her life suddenly involved dragons. *Disclaimer* I do not own Naruto or any of its characters, however this story is subjected to copy right along with the characters I come up with.
