A fifteen year old teen sat in an alleyway with an eight year old boy, heavy rain pelting the both of them. They had been running for hours, the teen exhausted and his chest burning for air. The child watched him with a reptilian left eye, expression blank but curious. The fifteen year old looked to him, breathing heavily, "Are you all right? Are you hurt?" He asked. The child shook his head slowly, continuing to stare. The teen rested his head against the wall, eyes closed as he caught his breath. He exhaled heavily and looked to the child again, "Do you have a home?" He asked. Again, the boy shook his head. The teen frowned, "Parents?" "Killed." The boy answered simply. The teen made a noise and nodded, "Hai...mine, as well..." He replied. The boy tilted his head, "What's your name?" He asked. The teen looked and blinked, "Kagetsuna." He answered, "Yours?" "Botenmaru. But I don't like that name anymore." The boy answered. Kagetsuna turned towards the boy and furrowed his brow gently, "You have a new name in mind?" He asked. Botenmaru nodded, scowling lightly, "Date Masamune. I'm going to return to Oshuu and rule it as the Dokuganryuu." He stated. Kagetsuna couldn't help but smile, "The One-Eyed Dragon? That's very strong talk for a hatchling." Masamune puffed embers, glaring lightly. Kagetsuna chuckled softly, "I don't suppose you'll need someone to help you with your quest?" He asked. Masamune nodded and pointed to him, "You will be my Right Eye, you're gonna watch my back and protect me." "I don't suppose I'll be getting a new name as well?" Kagetsuna asked. Masamune made a noise and nodded, "Katakura Kojurou." He answered. Kagetsuna, now Kojurou, smiled humbly and bowed his head, "I will do my best to protect you, Masamune-sama." He said gently.
