When you are raised in war, every shadow becomes a threat. The problem was that this particular war wasn't just filled with your typical opposition, though it had plenty. It was filled with internal lethal games that could get you killed, blood-relation or not. Meet Penelope Kage. The first born daughter, granddaughter, and niece of the Kage Family. I knew I was being followed because I was always being followed. The family called them shadows and they were the little one's bodyguards until the age of 18. I called them the stooges in black and other varying less than polite terms, much to my family's dismay. Everyone lost their shadows at 18; Everyone except me.
