"What the hell was that about?!" Katrina screamed at the mysterious assailant, balling her hands into fists and rushing forward. She yelped as strange black tendrils shot from out of her own shadow and held her in the air, much like a kite being flown. Katrina flailed and struggled, cursing up a storm. The mysterious woman sighed as she melted into the ground, becoming a formless shadow and drifted along the ground, only to be stopped by a bright flash of light surrounding her.

"Hah! Take that!" LISA proclaimed from within the house, the spotlight she was shining came from an upper story window. "If you live in shadows, you can't move without any shadow possible to cast!"

The woman sighed, and pulled herself out of the ground. She stood at a height of 5' 10" with long hair. It was striped black and orange, and was tied into a long braid. She wore a long black trenchcoat with orange pockets sewn into the sleeves, a strip of orange leather across her boobs to hold the jacket in place and a pair of tiger striped pants. She wore no shoes, but had her toenails painted purple, as well as her fingernails were painted purple. She slowly walked towards the house, looking more bored than worried, and LISA followed her with the light. The woman then jumped from the ground up the side of the building and punched through the window. "Kazekage fist!" She said quietly, as black shadowy tendrils shot from her hand and into the room, pinning LISA's robotic body to the wall and unplugging the spotlight. She landed and turned to look back at Katrina and Kaku.

Kaku brushed himself off and shook his head slowly. "First you punch me in the face. Then you handle Katrina like she's nothing, and finally you steal one of my moves to beat up my android!" He cracked his knuckles before running forward. The woman stood still as Kaku's fist came close to her face. He then stuck out his finger, just about touching the woman's face, before flicking her nose. She winced. "You smell familiar." Kaku concluded.

"I should, old man. You know me, you just don't know it yet. Now tell me," She said, spite in her voice and an angry look on her face, "whose a** do I have to kick to cure my immortality?" She cracked her knuckles as well, then moved to cracking her neck. "Damn near four million years worth of life is too much for me." Kaku's face fell, before his eye twitched. "Yeah, that's right, old man."

Kaku pulled back his hand and frowned. "Is it possible?" The woman nodded. "I must do research to be sure, but you really are Kisa." He said with a hopeful grin, reaching out to hug this woman, who was an adult Kisa, forever stuck as a full grown 28 year old-like body, living forever. Kisa, however, grabbed Kaku's arm and threw him headlong into the building, smacking into Kisa.

"You make me able to die, old man, and maybe you'll get a nice hug." She snorted, walking up the tendril she had used to make Katrina float in the air, and kissed her. "You know, we should work together sometime. We're both angry with the old man."

Katrina blushed and frowned. "I'm not angry with him anymore. I think I want to be his again." She muttered softly. Kisa began laughing up a storm, before sitting on Katrina's back and dismissing her tendril, causing Katrina to fall face first into the ground, knocking her out.

"Idiot." Kisa said coldly.

A few hours later, Kaku emerged from the front door. Kisa was sunbathing on Katrina's body, wearing only a leather strap over her chest and a tiger striped thong to cover her ladybits. Her clothes were folded up nearby, sitting under a tree. "You have bad news." Kisa said, barely looking up at Kaku.

"Indeed. I thought it might have been something Mister Paper had done to you while you were in the future." Kaku started, only to get stabbed in the stomach by his own shadow.

Kisa scowled as she sat up. "Liar!" She proclaimed.

Kaku nodded solemnly. "So you've figured it out on your own?" Kisa shook her head. "Oh, you can hear it in my voice, duh. Fine." He coughed up blood, only from the injury, seemingly unperturbed by it. "My intial thought was that it was something I did, which it is. In fact, all five of my daughters have this problem. You have it because I accidentally removed you from your time frame, the others because I reset their inner chronometers to give them a phoenix effect but I messed up by letting them travel through time too soon. Either way, your body is completely confused as to when it should die, so it just stopped keeping track of your age after a certain point. There's nothing I can do to fix this, for now. Though I don't really see a reason to bother trying to fix this. You can live forever. Why would you want to throw that away?"

Kisa growled and lunged for Kaku. He sighed and let her knock him to the ground. "Do you have any idea what I've gone through?" Kaku shook his head, frowning. "The lives I have touched, the fledgling civilizations that end up dying around me for relying on me too much. The," She trailed off, sitting back to rest on Kaku's knees. "I've become like him, haven't I?" She stood up and frowned. "It's fine, it's fine. I'm a better person than Paper."

"Totally are, my little tiger." Kaku said with a weak smile. "You would rather kill me than toy with me, for example." He motioned towards his injury.

"Liar." Kisa said softly, using her shadow powers to seal Kaku's injury shut. "You think I'm better than him, because I came back. Well I didn't come back for you." She said with a sad look in her eyes. "I came back, because I have figured out that Eria is in a coma somewhere around where she used that spell. Somewhere out there." She pointed towards the sky, and Kaku followed her point with a grim look on his face.
