The following day, Hitomi slept in later then she normally does. She was dreaming about Makoto as the Salmon King, a salmon-tailed-and-tasted-Merman of her fantasy. She was talking in her sleep, referring to him as "Master", again. Someone was trying to wake Hitomi by shaking her body and calling her name. Then Hitomi grabbed the person, but she thought it was Makoto, and kissed on the lips. Once she opened her eyes, as the lips didn't tasted like Salmon, but Catnip, and saw Kinomi.

"K-Kinomi!" Hitomi rolled out of the bedmat and blushingly cowarded in a corner, "I-I'm so sorry."

Kinomi had a bit of a blush on her face, from the kiss, before she chuckled, "Guess you really love a male Shinobi so much."

Hitomi nodded, "Yeah. We made love quite a bit, and I love him so much. I am Kanako's Spirit, but I love Makoto very much. His lips tasted like Salmon, which I end up dreaming of him as the King of Salmon, and as punishment for my love of Salmon, I am made into the Salmon King's slavecat.", then she blushed, mainly realizing she spoke too much information then needed.

Kinomi raised an eyebrow, stunned, "W-Wow. That's some imagination, Hitomi." then Kinomi coughed, "Nekokage wanted us downstairs for breakfast, then we have to join him to the Ryukage's office as some of the other Kages are going to be there."

Hitomi stood up and followed her to the dining hall.  There sat the Nekokage, Arashimaru. After a hearty breakfast, with two dozen Salmon for Hitomi alone, they walked back to the Ryukage's office. Once they got there, there were three other creatures; a Two-tailed tiger wearing  Tsunade's outfit, but more of orange-and-black, while the tiger was white. Beside her is a cream-coated-fiery-orange-maned horse with three tails, and a nine-tailed fox-looking Kyuubi.

"Hitomi-koneko, I like you to meet Inukage Junko Kyuubiyami. Also, her companions Kimiko the Torakage and Miyako the Umakage."

"Hello to you too, 'Chiisai'-kage" Kimiko smiled.

"You sure like to bash my height, Kimiko, but an ant can move a mountain."

"Eventually, but there is truth to those words, Arashimaru."

Hitomi noticed a uniquely pattern amber amulet around Kimiko's neck. Kimiko quickly picked up on it.

"Like my amulet? It's been in the family for a couple generations."

"Wow that is very..." Kinomi began, and Hitomi, mentally compared Kimiko to Tsunade, moved to the far wall as fast as possible, "Old."

The wall behind Kinomi and the ceiling suddenly shattered to pieces. Kinomi looked like she might've wetted herself from the sheer speed of Kimiko's attacks.

Kimiko growled, "Never say that word around me, Child!"

Junko laughed and wrapped one arm around Kimiko's neck, "You really need to calm down, Kimi. She was referring to the Amulet, not your age. Through, you are being five-hundred years old in contrast to her mid-twenties is more like 'Ancient' then 'Old'."

Miyako sighed, "That isn't helping the situation, Junko."

Hitomi thought, as she was looking at the three Kages, "She's as scary as Lady Tsunade!"

Arashimaru looked barely amused, "As you can tell, Kimiko hate talking about her age."

"I can assume that from her attire." Hitomi  hiding behind one of the Ryukage's wings, "The Hokage from my old world, a lady known as Lady Tsunade, whom happened to be the Granddaughter of the First Hokage, and is the Fifth Hokage herself, is quite explosive about that very same subject herself."

"Ah! So that's why you knew to move out of the way before that three-lettered word came up." Arashimaru smiled and nodded.

"Y-Yeah." then she gulped.

"I won't attack you, Hitomi-Taigākabu." Kimiko sighed, "My anger was towards that child whom upsetted me."

Hitomi walked back over to the Nekokage and could feel Kimiko staring at her, studying her.

"I see that you are focusing on her as much as she was focusing on your Toranome Amulet."

"Surely you know that she have a lot of potential if trained properly." Kimiko pointed at Hitomi.

"I do, but I agreed to help her to embrace her feline side, which she needed help with, being a human prior to being a Shinobi Spirit."

"She have the same level of power as one of the Inugakure residents." Kimiko then looked at Junko, whom was still hanging off of Kimiko's neck, "What was his name again?"

"Uh.........." Junko vocalized before remembering, "Oh! It's Kiyoshi, or at least that's what his human handler calls him."

"I know him. He's a True Spirit, if I recalled correctly. He and I are the same in that regard." Hitomi's ears twitched at hearing Kiyoshi's name, "He's in the same village where I came from before coming to Nekogakure." then she looked at Kimiko, "Why are you three here?"

"To plan out the Kage Bonquet. As usual, the Nekogakure, as you two Spirits calls it, serves as outside gards."

"With me included." Arashimaru sighed, "While you twelve spend some time with Ryunosuke. Now then, who's village will host it this year?"

"As the Horse year is coming to a close, I am thinking about my villiage, if that'll be alright." Miyako smiled, "I'll make sure to have plenty of food for your finest warriors, Arashimaru."

Arashimaru smiled, "That would be wonderful, Miyako."

"Arashi, even if she does become a complete spirit from learning how to embrace her feline half, she'll still not going to be stronger. We have Hunters aiming for them and she need training. I'm guessing, a lot of it."

"Do you want to do a co-training?" Arashimaru raised his eyebrow, "I help her to embrace her feline half, then after the Banquet, she goes with you to your villiage to train?"

"Hm...Sounds like a good idea. She does have potential to be one of Toragakure and Nekogakure finest." then she nodded, "Alright. When she comes with me, I'll train her personally."

"Alright." Arashimaru nodded, then turned to leave, "Kinomi-Nya, Hitomi-Koneko. Come. Our job is done here."

They walked back to their boat and sailed away.

"Nekokage, how are you going to train me in such a short time? We have....uh....Kinomi, how many months before  the banquet?"

"Five months, Hitomi." Kinomi sighed, "Five more months to get you as feline as possible."

"It won't be easy and I can't go my normal natural pace approach either. The moment we get back to shore, we train your feline traits and language immedately."

"Yes, Nekokage." Hitomi nodded.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the shore and they climbed out of the boat. As they were walking back to Nekogakure, the Nekokage was pushing Hitomi's feline knowledge and abilities to their limits and beyond. After another month of training, Arashimaru had decided to give her a mission, with a few of his feline citizens.

<"Sumi Salmonthief, Renka Matchmaker, Ichigo Kurimu, and Omamori Wisdompaw will accompany you on the mission, Hitomi-Koneko. Please note, they only know how to speak Feline, and not human."> Arashimaru explained to Hitomi in Feline.

Hitomi processed what she was told and how to reply back before doing so, <"Alright, Nekokage. What's the mission?">

<"Our friends in the south said that the Usagikage got captured while she was moongazing. Your mission is to rescue her, by any means nessassary.">

<"Yes, Nekokage."> Hitomi nodded.

Then she quickly left the villiage. Following behind her, and amazingly keeping up with her, wew four cats. They are a grey-colored female of three years in age, a calico-patterned four-year-old, a white-colored cat whom loves hanging out in the village's strawberry patch and her fur smells like strawberries now, and  a ten-year-old elderly black lady cat. After some time, they had to stop and survey their surrounds.

<"Seems peaceful.">  Sumi pointed out.

<"Hm."> Omamori nodded, then looked at Hitomi, <"What does your feline traits are telling you, Koneko?">

Hitomi closed her eyes to focuse on her other senses. As she was wearing a sleeveless shirt, she could feel the wind on her skin. It was a very gentle breeze, but it wasn't causing her to spring. Her nose picked up four or more unfamiliar scents west of their direction, which the majority smelled human. Then she opened her eyes and focused on that direction. Her pupils became slits and allowed her to focused more. Before long, she saw six tall moving bodies of energy and one caged one.

<"I think I have found them, Omamori-Sensei.">

Omamori smiled, <"Lead on, Koneko.">

Hitomi did exactly that. After thirty more minutes of jumping from canopy to canopy, they arrived at the location. The cats recognized one of the six humans, as the human woman was wearing a Shinobi Spirit Hunter uniform. Hitomi, recognized the other five due to their familar cloaks.

"How soon before you allow us to return back to our world?" the black-haired cat-like woman hissed.

"Soon. Once she tells us where her villiage is so we could kill her resident Spirits, then we will send all of you back." the Huntress smiled, "Through, you maybe the first one to be sent back, as you have the similar energy to them."

<"The Akatsuki. Why are they here?">

<"You know them?"> Omamori asked.

<"Sadly, yes. They are my old realm's version of the Hunters. Nasty criminals and their goal is to cause mass chaos."> Hitomi hissed, <"I'll try to distract them and you four get the Usagikage out of here.">

<"Just be careful."> Ichigo placed her paw on Hitomi's left hand.

<"I'll try to, Ichigo. I know them more then you four do, so you four need to be more careful then I do."> Hitomi smiled, then made her move, towards her main target, the feline-like Akatsuki.

Because of her attire, she is able to hide her face with a half-head mask. The woman looked at her and hissed.

"Whether it is my world or this one, there is always a human cat to annoy me!" the woman hissed, "Attacking me is your worst idea this lifetime."

"I don't think so, Moriko Nekonome." Hitomi hissed.

"Wait...how do you know my...." then Moriko blinked as she recognized the voice, "No freaking way! Hitomi Nekonome!"

"Missed me?" Hitomi smiled behind her mask, "Because I haven't."

"I thought I missed my chance to kill you." Moriko smiled, "Lightning Style! Thousand Meowing Cat Jutsu!"

Moriko's right hand start channeling lighting and Hitomi easily dodged the attack. Hitomi striked back with a Fire-based Jutsu, then a Ice-based one.

"Yeow!" Moriko yelled, "Help me, you fools!"

One woman, named Arisu, attacked with her puppet Endingu Kesshite. The bald headed man punched the ground to create a pillar of earth which exploded. The twins unleashed their combined ice-styled jutsu. The Huntress just watched them, studying them. Hitomi easily dodged every attack with flawless ease. She used nearly any style without the need of a handsign, much to her opponiets' annoyance. Suddenly, Moriko aimed at the cage.

"She's a distraction! Those cats are aiming for the Rabbit!"

Without much thought, Hitomi tried to stop her, but Moriko unleashed a deadly Lightning-style Jutsu at the cats. Omamori noticed and shoved the other three out of the way, and took it all by herself.

<"Omamori-Sensei!"> Hitomi and the cats screeched.

They ran to her side. Hitomi held her and was crying.

<"I did what I had done for the good of the mission, Koneko."> Omamori smiled, "Do whatever you can to protect the others and Usagikage.">, then she breathed her last.

Hitomi closed Omamori's eyes and stood up. She walked over to the cage, and in one swift motion, beheaded the Huntress and split the cage in half.

<"Get the Usagikage out of here. Also, don't look back.">

The other three did exactly as they were told to do. Hitomi unleashed her full anger, which temporary had also formed a second tail. The moment Hitomi's hands had touched the ground, spikes jumped everywhere. It was too fast for Moriko to evade. Within a minute, Moriko, Arisu, and the other five members of the Akatsuki were spiked like pincushions. Arisu coughed her last first, then the twins, then the bald man, and lastly Moriko. She compiled them into a tight pile, and removed their rings and Arisu's Main Puppet's scroll, which Arisu had sent to reseal upon her death. Then she created a metal box and casted a handsign-less Fireball Jutsu at Cremation temperture.

"No one is going to use Reanimation to bring these five enemies back to life." Hitomi thought before picking up Omamori's body to bring with her.

Before long, she arrived at the entrance of the Usagigakure. She knew it because the others were waiting for her there.

<"What happened to the humans?"> Renka pondered.

<"Dead. I killed them then I cremated them."> Hitomi sighed, <"I turned their remains into a pile of white ash, a byproduct of charcoal.">

<"Oh."> the three cats said, finally making the connection.

Then two big-and-armoured hares came out. They saluted the Usagikage before leading the group into the village. Usagigakure looked like a rabbit version of a Hobbit village. At the very highest Rabbit Hole, is the home and office of the Usagikage.

"I thank you for helping us out, Cats." the Usagikage lowered her head, "I am sorry for your loss, through."

"As much as I didn't want her to leave us, but she decided to sacrificed herself for the good of the mission." Hitomi bowed, "I'll inform the Nekokage everything as well of Omamori's selfless sacrifice."

"I understand." the Usagikage bowed back, "I wish you safe travels."

"Thank you, Usagikage." Hitomi turned to leave, <"We are done. We're heading back to the village to inform the Nekokage.">

After two hours, they arrived back to Nekogakure. Many of the cats watched them come in, but then were shocked and sadden by the drape-covered box that Sumi and Ichigo were carrying. Hitomi quickly joined Kinomi and Arashimaru in the Kage Tree.

<"Welcome back, Hitomi-Koneko."> Arashimaru smiled, <"How goes the mission?">

Hitomi lowered her head, <"The mission was a success, Kage. I killed the Huntress as well the five members of the group known as the Akatsuki from my old world, one of them happened to be my half-sister."> then she sighed, <"It was Moriko Nekonome, my half-sister, whom killed Omamori Wisdompaw. She pushed the others out of the way and took a Lightning-styled Jutsu head-on. By sacrificing herself, she ensure that we finished the Mission. After I tapped into my hidden, untapped energy, I felt nearly-godlike, but afterwards, I felt barely able to stand.">

<"That had to be the protential of the True Spirit.  Quite scary when you think about it."> Kinomi commented.

Arashimaru nodded, <"I agree."> then he looked at Hitomi, <"Go get some sleep, Koneko, you earned it. I'll make sure that Omamori is buried.">

<"Yes, Kage."> Hitomi then returned to her housetree to sleep.

Over the remaining months, Hitomi continue to practice her Feline language and relay mainly on her feline traits in her training. She continued to carry out any mission the Nekokage had gaved her. On occation, she did saw Kanako, her Shinobi. As much as she wanted to talk to her, she know that doing so will not end well, so she keep her distance. Before long, it was time for the Kage Banquet. While every warrior of the Nekogakure is guarding the outside with the normal Umagakure guards, most of the Kages and their apprentice-assistant are inside. Many were talking and making plans for the following year. The Usagikage talked about the incident from earlier and how Hitomi appeared sad. A giant lizard-like creature, which looked a bit like a human-with-Gojira-and-a-normal-European-Dragon wearing an Emperor attire sat at the head of the room, drinking on a large glass of Sake. He nodded and stroked his chin.

"Call her in, Torakage."

"As you wish, Milord." Kimiko bowed very low before disappearing.

Hitomi was standing beside Arashimaru. Every cat from Nekogakure was wearing Nekogakure-made armour. Even Kinomi and Hitomi, which were the first ones done, due to the amount of material and time needed to make it. Soon, Kimiko appeared behind them, and Hitomi was ready to draw out her sword that she learned to make while helping Konaha. The moment she realized it was Kimiko, Hitomi sheathed her blade and lowered her head.

"I'm so sorry, Torakage."

"It's alright, Hitomi. It's a good reflex." Kimiko smiled, "Ryunosuke want to meet you."

"Uh......alright." then they disappeared

Then they reappeared back into the room. Kimiko was sitting back in her usual spot while Hitomi was standing in the center of the room. One look at the man in front of her and Hitomi instinctly bowed as low as she can possibly go.

"Do you know whom I am, Ms. Hitomi Nekonome?"

"N-No, sir, but I can easily tell that I am no match for your strength." Hitomi whimpered, out of instinct that she had picked up, "I-I'm assuming, as you are far stronger then all thirteen Kages together, you are our God, Ryunosuke."

"That is correct, Ms. Nekonome." Ryunosuke smiled, "Is it true that after the Banquet that you'll be going with Kimiko the Torakage back to her village?"

"Yes, Ryunosuke." Hitomi replied truthfully.

"Hm." Ryunosuke pondered, "Do you think you will be good for Toragakure?"

"I don't understand, Ryunosuke."

Kimiko sighed, "He wants you to fight each of the other Villages' assistants before he allow you to come with me to Toragakure. If you fail, you will be stuck with Nekogakure for, at least, another year."

"If that is what Ryunosuke want me to do, then I'll proof it to him that I am ready for this next step for me."

"Butakage, you go first." Ryunosuke commanded.

"As you wish, Milord." A skinny lady bowed and sent in her assistant.

The assistant from Butagakure was a lady around Choji's girth. Hitomi positioned herself to take a beaten from the assistant, but one little problem; the assistant didn't want to attack her at all. The assistant whom work for the Usagikage, a guy with a Raiden hat on, sighed.

"Choko, if Ryunosuke says 'Fight', then you fight."

"Taihei is right, Choko! So, Beat her feline tail!" the Hitsujigakure assistant called out.

"I still don't want to do it." Choko replied back.

"Ryunosuke, with your permission, I may know how to get her to fight me." Hitomi looked at him.

"Permission granted, Nekonome."

Hitomi sighed, "Are you a weakling...." then she get ready to react, "...Fatso?"

Choko quickly looked at her with death in her eyes. Then Choko's right hand shot out quicker then Hitomi had EVER saw Choji's hand to react. If it wasn't for her feline reflexes and training with them, she would've been knocked out on the first move. Hitomi barely dodged all seventy-two strikes that Choko had launched at her. After the quick exchange, both were panting at the speed of the other.

"She is like Choji." Hitomi thought, then looked at the other two assistants whom were talking to Choko, "Which means the Sheep is Ino-like and the Rabbit-Hare is Shikamaru-like." then she gave a hint of a growl, "Just not my day if those three team up."

"Enough." Ryunosuke raised his hand, "Inukage, your turn."

"I don't have an assistant, Milord, but will my brother do?"

"Yes, he'll do."

"Thank you, Milord."

Hitomi looked at her opponiet. The man in front of her is in his mid-teens, at least. He have a Blue-Ticked Hound hair-color in a ponytail, and reading a training book.

"Is he like Kakashi-Sensei?" Hitomi thought, then she saw the Pup on the man's head, "Or like Kiba?"

Then the pup attacked, which was easy to dodge. Then Hitomi decided to attack the man. When her sword made contact, a small cloud appeared and a bamboo stick remained. After that, she sensed a sudden change in air pressure. She quickly evaded the attacks from, not one, but two drill-like manuvers. When she landed and looked at them, both appeared as Spirits. She hissed, much to her annoyance.

"More like Kiba with Kakashi's traits in there."

Once again, Ryunosuke was satisified with Hitomi's progress thus far. Then he had the Niwatorikage's assistant to attack next. The assistant happened to be the Niwatorikage's own baby sister. Hitomi easily could tell the fighting style as the Eight-Trigrams, and used her feline flexibility, eyes and senses to avoid the hands as best as she could. It was a bit harder when the assistant also included Crane-style fighting in there. The Sarukage's assistant was too much like Rock Lee, both Sober and Drunk-as-a-Skunk.

Then it was time for her to fight the Hitsujikage's assistant, whom happened to be named Himawari. As long as Hitomi didn't look at her and kept moving, she was able to defeat her, easily. After her was the Umakage's assistant. One look into his eyes and Hitomi didn't waste any time. She quickly appeared and disappeared as often as needed before stabbing him in the back.

"No way I'm going to be affected by those accursed eyes, Uchiha."

After the Umagakure assistant was the Hebigakure, whom Hitomi went ballistic on. The Hebigakure's assistant actually slithered out of the room to avoid more attacks. The move on those two assistants caused Ryunosuke to raise an eyebrow, but decided to wait. Next was Ryuto from Ryugakure. His fighting style was very unpredictable. She never fought anyone from the other side with identical moveset. His skin was impervious to her blade's strikes and stabs.

She knew she would've been in trouble if they continue fighting, but Ryunosuke called for the next one. Hitomi hissed as each time any of her clones got close, they got snabbed by Taihei's shadows. Hitomi also kept her back covered from potential sneak attacks. Sadly, it wasn't enough as one tiny thread got through and was in control of her body. He was going to make her perform the Hira-Kiri, but her anger erupted. Even the Nekokage and Kinomi, whom were watching the entire time, were surprised. Hitomi created another temperary tail, to appear as a two-tailed cat, and attacked him, with a Rasengan.

"NO ONE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTROL ME UNLESS I WANT THEM TO!" Hitomi yelled, "ANY WHOM TRIES TO CONTROL ME WILL DIE! BY MY OWN CLAWS!"

Then, with a harsh huff, the second tail disappeared, and Taihei was seeing stars. After him was Torakage's assistant. The assistant was a meek-looking lady. Hitomi wasn't going to try close-combat, for a couple of reasons; One is that the assistant is a Tiger, and thus have some knowledge of Tiger-Style fighting. The second reason is that Hitomi compared her to Shizume, Tsunade's assistant in Konahagakure. Eventually, they did ended up doing close-combat and it was a dead-heat. After that was the Ushigakure's assistant, whom was easy to defeat, before his second personality comes out to give her a run for her money. It went from Cow-Tipping to Running-of-the-Bull then onward to Bull-Fighting. After a tiring fight with him, it was the final round and Arashimaru was glaring at the Kage whom is next: Nezumikage. The Nezumigakure Assistant was butler-dressed and polite. Sadly, he wasn't a feather-weight as he flings Hitomi all over the place with his one arm.

"Okay, this is insane. There's no way a rat could be this strong over a cat." Hitomi growled as she was pulling herself out of a pot of Sake.

The assistant smiled, "That is the same thing your weak Kage, Arashimaru, always say towards my Kage." then he pushed up his glasses, "Give it up, little kitten, you will never win."

"I was trained, by my Hokage, to never give up."

They continued to fight for three more hours, and each time, Hitomi pushed herself back up and attacked again. Each plan ended in failure.

"Are you a Mascho or something?" the Assistant asked her after his X-Numbered victory over her.

<"Nekokage, you must make her stop! She's going to die at this rate!"> Kinomi glared at Arashimaru.

Arashimaru lowered his head and sighed, <"You're right. Go interfer.">

Kinomi nodded and jumped down in-between them. Before anyone spoke up, Kinomi spread her arms and legs out.

"By the order of Nekokage, I am to interfer and end this fight on Hitomi's health. She is a very stubborn feline and doesn't know when to stop."

Hitomi tried to push Kinomi out of the way, but her knees collasped beneth her. She hissed and punched the ground, feeling defeated and useless. Ryunosuke smiled at the three.

"I was beginning to wonder when he was going to interfer in this." Ryunosuke smiled, "To be so stubborn as to keep fighting despite being defeated so often. She may have the classification of a Cat Spirit, but her soul is that of a Tiger. I give her my blessing to be trained in Toragakure for the remainder of her time with us."

"Th-than-" then Hitomi collasped from exhaustion.

"I had to admit, she was beginning to push my limits as well, but I see that about two, or three more throws would've been enough to finish the fight." the Nezumigakure Assistant smiled as he bowed, to show his respect to her, "Maybe next year, I could fight her again."

It took Hitomi hours to recovered. By that time, it was time to return to their villages, with Hitomi following Kimiko the Torakage back to her village. It took them a couple days to make it to Toragakure, the furthest west village of all the villages. They were at the entrance of the village when Kimiko asked her to do the same pledge as she had done in Nekogakure. Hitomi willingly accept to keep Toragakure a secret and did the same blood oath as before. As soon as her name was magically written and dried on the scroll, Kimiko led her through the tunnel. Hitomi got down onto her hands and knees, like she had grown accustomed to. After another twelve hours, they had finally arrive in Toragakure, a bamboo-filled village. The comparision between Nekogakure and Toragakure is evident. Nekogakure is like ancient Athens while Toragakure is like ancient Sparta.

Hitomi noticed that tiger cubs as young as they are able to run were learning how to fight.  The moment many of the tigers saw her, they bow to show respect as she is the oldest and strongest tiger. Toragakure is a very bustling village in contrast to Nekogakure. She could see the Metalurgist Shop and it was busy. There was also five tiger-like people in there working. Kimiko led Hitomi to a rocky outcrop.

"Under here is a safebox for you to stash EVERYTHING from Nekogakure, including your clothes. You will be given clothing made here in Toragakure, after a week. We prefer our newcomers to shead everything of their past."

"Yes, Kage." Hitomi nodded before removing every strap of armour, weapon and normal clothing she ever owned since she walked into Nekogakure.

Hitomi trained with Kimiko and wasn't bothered by being bared, as she had grown accustomed to it by now. She channeled her rage into her strikes, and more then once that Kimiko had to correct Hitomi's stance or posture. During a month, she is able to communicate with the Tigers, with some differculty with their words, as Tigers have a growly accent to their native tongue. By month end, Hitomi did a ritualized bathing to become a true citizen of Toragakure, symbolically. For doing the act, she was given sport-undergarments and a tiger-striped Gi. The top undergarment hugged her bosom tightly, slightly tighter then she would've liked, but they were tiger-striped as well. On the back of the Gi is a diamond with the words "Toragakure" in Tiger Kanji. Each village have their own variation of Kanji with the Neko Kanji the closest to humans' Kanji.

Another item she was given was a box of scrolls to write daily, and it must be in Tiger Kanji, which is a rougher version of the Cat Kanji system. She still had to walk around barefooted, but she didn't care. She was also given a choker-like amulet with white quartz. Hitomi felt honored to be given the items that she had recieved. She continued her Cat-Talk lessons, as well as Cat-Mannerisms, both of which becoming more fluent to her, as if her mind had finally accepted them as her true-self.

Training with Kimiko was no easy training. The destruction of the wall and ceiling in Ryugakure was nothing compared to some of the feats of power Kimiko was showing Hitomi now. Hitomi noticed that a diamond-shaped stripe on Kimiko's forehead also disappeared one time, when Kimiko showed Hitomi her full strength, by causing half a mountain to collaspe, while standing on the polar opposite side, with a single claw-palm-strike. Kimiko trained Hitomi to build up her Qi into one or more hidden-undetactable spots on her body, for easier use later. After two months of training of the techinique, Hitomi was able to create a small diamond on her right upper arm, nearby the ball-and-socket joint.

<"Good so far, Hitomi-Taigākabu."> Kimiko nodded, <"You may have more stripes soon, if you keep this up.">

<"Thank you, Milady."> Hitomi bowed, and smiled, <"I just need to practice how to unleash it, without sending myself flying.">

<"We can do that for another day, Hitomi-Taigākabu."> Kimiko smiled, <"For now, get some rest.">

<"Right."> Hitomi nodded before walking back to her cave and to her bamboo mat.
