Post 1: Kaia arrives home falls in bed then passes out hugging her pillow...After a lengthy rest she wakes up showers, brushes her teeth, gets dressed then heads down stairs and out front. Everyday was a training day for Kaia. Now That she was ninja she had a different set of arsenal.
She was always the type to get interpersonal, metaphysical, and spiritual so she knew wanted to dive into her bloodline since it combined literal spirituality with her roots. She was coming of an age where she had advanced pretty far in what seemed like forever, but what couldn't be shorter. Kaia smiled... Closing her eyes as her Sakkakugan activated and she could see the life sources around her.... it was a bit intrusive... Kaia shook her head deactivating the Sakkakugan... "Oh God" Kaia had seen more than she was used to... that never happened before. Blushing Kaia reactivated her Sakkakugan... everything was normal... which was assuring, but... she was truthfully fascinated even though shocked at the vision she had acquired before it was much more detailed and vivid. Kaia had great memory of all sorts and would begin to recollect her posture and when she had brought forth this vision. At the cringe of the nose and a glare everything would become spectacularly detailed within Life Sense since the residence area provided plenty of life to extend from.
Kaia figured this would be a great time to stack up on help aids. Creating a handseal a clone was created, with another handseal three clones would appear making a total of 4 clones. Kaia formed handseals then tapped the forehead of each clone. Forming handseals the area would fill with fog and the clones would take off in different directions about 100 meters apart from one another. All the clones began forming hand seals and just testing the nature of things Kaia had been studying. One clone created a seal that turned into a shield then created more handseals creating multiple seals on it's body. Another clone formed handseals then created a seal on it's chest and forehead. Kaia would form hand seals appearing next to a clone with a seal crawling up her arm. Two arms would sprout from her back and touch the clone making it vanish then one of the other 3 clones would hold a seal... the clone vanished clone never reappear again. Kaia would perform another set of seals forcing the remaining clones to appear by her side. Then she rolled back a sleeve and seal formed on it causing the clones to vanish, then forming a seal the clones would be summoned... Staring at the clones... Kaia noticed something... something she normally would have found a bit difficult due to the nature of her personal attribute... Usually one couldn't hi jack Divine Communication, but these were duplicates of herself...
Kaia dispelled all the techniques for a moment and took a rest. She did not want to wear herself out learning these techniques, but she surely was not planning to sit for long. A little relief for her legs, a short breath, and a bit of stretching was enough for her. Before she knew it she was back on her feet and recuperated. Kaia would then activate a seal on her forehead bringing forth chakra once stored. Forming handseals Kaia would create 3 shadow clones then hop back. One clone transformed into a fuuma shuriken and another sealed it in a scroll. One clone rushed her, Kaia formed handseals and the chains bounding her ankle cuffs together would erupt into a flurry of chains wiping the clone out. The other clone would jump up coming down with a vertical punch. Kaia formed seals removing her from underneath the strike and just a single step before it with her hand already reaching out to grab the clone by his arm. That arm had a scroll that now couldn't be activated. The clone would then spin off its hand to windmill kick Kaia but upon a brief smirk... it would discontinue it's attack and merely go from a hand stand to slow cartwheel into a standing position... Kaia blew it a kiss before revealing another string of seals that caused the chains at her ankle cuffs to erupt in a flurry of chains once more, but this time they would cover the entire residential area protecting it... startling many, but protecting it none the less. The clone would look up as the atmosphere lighting completely changed... it was even awe struck... Kaia smirked forming a single hand seal causing the clones seal to work without permission. The seal unleashed a Fuuma shuriken from the scroll on the clones are cutting upwards and splitting the clone in half.
The fuuma would disperse into another clone landing after a series of buzz saw flips in the air. Kaia was going to release a devastating attack, but caught herself. Her technique was used to protect...however she also built a technique to use it to destroy... This wasn't the place for it, so Kaia dispelled the barrier and took off with the clone. She would use this time to recover any chakra used, so that she could continue her training in a better suited environment. Kaia was still shocked at how easy it was for her to overlook such an important detail, but shrugged it off. She was pretty aware that this was all super predatory instincts that discarded the lives of others.

Mission Exclusive - Catch That Cat!
INDENT"Hey stop!!" The echoing sounds of feet pattering against the pavement grew ever louder as Aeleus stormed the streets of Konoha! Chasing after the pesky troublemaker. A beastly foe, one that would not be handled so easily... None other than Konoha's own infamous Fat Kitty that plagued the Residential District. Randomly hissing and scratching any whom came near. While minor in nature, he carried out his very first mission with nothing but enthusiasm and pride, eager to prove himself. "Golly she's so fast!" A faint thought as his demanding halt forced the Cat into a frenzy. The feline bolted around the corner, leaping upward to attack an innocent woman. Naturally, she screamed, alerting the Young Rookie that he needed to get his butt in gear! "Ahh! Right, right! Coming!" Sapphire hues flexed but for a second. Where the Academy Student had once stood was now a circling spiral of dust, leafs and some random newspaper. Aeleus would appear in the blink of an eye, in front of the troublesome cat. Meooow it cried angrily, almost as instantly as the boy appeared, the cat hightailed back in the opposite direction. Smirking, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. Aeleus didn't bother attempting to run after Fat Kitty. Fingers slowly expanded outward, as if he was using them to count. As the third finger extended itself... MEOOOOW! "Ha.. Gotcha' dummy!" Snapping his fingers triumphantly. Swiftly he walked down the road, to where his clever trap of wires had been set. Scaring the cat right into it's own entanglement. "Y'know if you weren't so mean attacking people all the time, I wouldn't have to take you to kitty jail." Teasingly he'd flick the cats forehead, making it hiss attempting to bite him. However, it was too wrapped up to do so. Taking hold of the offender, Aeleus departed to the animal center, successfully completing his first mission!

Roku walked through his home for a while looking through the various books that his mother had about his clan. The teen was always anxious to be taught on how to unleash his seal that he was born with however, his mother would always say that it would happen when the time was right. Really, he had no idea what the really meant but, he was becoming impatient with how long it was taking for his mother to show him. As the boy searched through the books, he realized that his search was mostly in vain. It would be strange for his mother to just keep a book of their clansโ deepest secrets around the house. The teen sighed softly as he walked through the house looking for his mother. Roku knew that the seal was a Fuuinjutsu designed to make you stronger but, not much past that.
After some time Roku managed to find his mother. โMom I think itโs time for me to learn how to unleash the seal on my tongue.โ The teen would say to her rather direct and to the point. The woman looked up from the book she was reading, โWell, I suppose since you are a genin now that you should learn how to protect your self more.โ His mother than placed her book on the nightstand to the left of her and stood up. โMeet me in the courtyard, we are going to train together but, first I have a few things to gather.โ Roku nodded softly to his mother and bowed before leaving the room to go out to the courtyard. Shortly after his mother met him out in the courtyard. โActivate your Sharigan Roku, it will help you read what Iโm doing and follow it exactly.โ His mother would almost say immediately to him. Roku nodded softly and did as his mother instructed, the red glow of his sharigan shining brightly. Roku specifically started with the piercing lens so he could watch her chakra closer on top of his sensory prowess. Granted his sharigan was not that strong yet with itโs one tomoe but, it would give him good practice to use it while learning how to activate the seal.
โLet us get startedโ, his mother would say to him before activating her seal on herself into the awoken stage. Roku watched as the natural chakra spread through her body from the seal. It was physically apparent by the curved lines that started to stretch all over the womanโs body as well as her face morphing into a sort of fox. โThe seal makes your fuuinjutsu stronger to resist as well as your taijutsu and bukijutsu. It also makes you faster, more agile, and much stronger.โ Roku nodded softly as he listened to her. โIn order to activate the seal, you must unseal it for yourself and the blessings that O-Inari has given us will be yours to control. Some you come across will consider what you have of unnatural origin but, you must not listen to them. Nature chakra is an unholy force and O-Inari has decided for us to be the ones to fight it.โ His mother would continue to go on to explain. Roku nodded and started to try and use his chakra to awaken the seal that had been dormant for so long.
Nothing happened as the teen focused his chakra and all he knew about fuuinjutsu to unseal it. However, it seemed brute forcing it with his chakra was not going to be the answer. It was his born right to awaken this seal and he would. Roku took a deep breath for a moment, trying to remember how his motherโs chakra formed and awoke the seal. With this knowledge in mind, he pushed further and molded his chakra in the same manner that his mother did. Soon enough it started to seem to work. From his mouth, the same curved lines began to spiral out from his mouth. With the seal awoken, there wasnโt much else to do other than allow it to transform him into the same stage his mother was in.
As soon as the seal had spread across his body, his face began to distort and form into a more foxlike structure. Roku was surprised that it didnโt hurt as he assumed that doing such a thing would hurt him. โGood job Roku.โ The boyโs mother would say to him as his transformation was complete. โO-Inari will be happy to have a new champion to her cause.โ The woman would say. Roku nodded softly as he extended his arms and looked at them as well as his legs. The teen then began to lightly jog around the courtyard to test the form he was now in. It did indeed seem that he was stronger like his mother had said as well as faster. Roku would go on to try various things to test the blessing he had been given including; throwing shuriken, performing a few fuuinjutsu, and doing a few punches. It was an impressive thing to be experiencing and now he could truly be a warrior of his clan like he was meant to be.
tabA modest home nestled amidst a modest green yard on some near outskirt of the hustling populace of the village. The home is spacious however common in standing and rustic in design but not lacking in love and care. The inhabitants of this unassuming slice of green is a family kept lively by one rambunctious, endearing little girl. Lots of green about this peaceful home. Plenty of trees and shrubs to make plenty of fun places to hide but confined in the barrier of a modest stone fence.
This is the little plot of land the Juei Director acquired by her own means and initially provided to her aging parents after the surprise grandchild was born. In time, this too became the Juei Directorโs home after choosing to forfeit her apartment in the village to give her sprouting wild child room to run.With the sun suddenly back the yard was lively again with the rambunctious little Umechika safe in its confines. She had energy to spare in a game of skip-rope. It was Thaliaโs turn to skip over the long, pink rubber rope with her aunt Seina at one end with one dearest puppet (known as Shining Prince or โPrissyโ as itโs been called) faithfully at the other. Jump rope seemed to be an effective way to accomplish two things: teach Thalia her numbers and wear her out! "Skip! S-kiiip! Skip!" The woman turning the rope, gradually picking up pace, began singing along with the rhythm of the rubber line tapping the stone under Thalia's little feet snug her little pink shoes. "One-two! Three! Four! Five!"
Thalia color reference: "You thought you could steal my cookies?! Think again! You will regret the day you crossed the mighty Thalia!!"
Seina: A young lady in her mid-twenties with brown hair, worn in two ordinary-sized ponytails. Her eyes are brown in color and look similar to Sadayoโs despite being more hooded. But distinct differences between the Soga sisters are their noses and Seinaโs slightly more pronounced cheekbones - because sheโs a cutie. She loves the โworldโs cutest nieceโ.
__ The lands blessed by her mother were difficult to locate, let alone navigate to most. Zhi however had a blessing to seek out the Hidden Village, so directing herself toward her goals was a zippy cinch. She figured that Masato would probably be the last one she could catch up with around this time. 'I may as well meet my niece before catching up with Muscle-sempai. I mean! Big brother? Hehe, still strange. Also strange to think that he and miss fluffy buns are a thing! Who woulda thought?' Zhi giggled to herself as she approached the front door of the modest residence. There was a ring from their doorbell followed by a few soft raps against the door. Sure, she coulda just blipped in and surprised the heck out of the kid in the midst of her rope skipping. However, Zhi had gained enough sense to realize that sometimes her antics weren't called for. Playing games with Thalia would come soon enough, hopefully.

tab Ever envisioned a Sadayo without ponytails? How about a Sadayo without ponytails and some totally different unnatural hue in her eyes? The woman answering the door was without ponytails, violet eyes, and arguably could have been some older Sadayo (looking well for a woman in her mid-fifties) from a time far in the future. Nah. Just her mom. Guests didn't happen often. Well, the same guests who frequent the house happened but new faces were infrequent without notice. It was easy to spy little, pieces of curly wood shavings in her hair.
answers the door with a pair of thick, gloves bunched in one hand. Wearing comfortable clothes under a sturdy, paint smeared apron. Goggles on her head. She was straightforward, wary, but polite,โcan I help yo-Oh!โ But mother shrieked! Recoiled even, as an untimely smoke plume mushroomed between the two only to drop a silken yellow and black cloak from the dissolving plume of summon smoke. The delicate garment met a not-so delicate landing on the floor between the woman and Zhi. Sadayoโs cloak. The very same she wore in the Crow Lands but it was instead covered in a significant trail of ink splattering across the veil. A paper clip on the erect collar held a note: โwash please. Thank you.โ The front door was not the dropping point for garments but a guest or a piece of ink splattered laundry to drop out of thin air. Sighing, grumbling under her breath, the woman knelt and whipped the cloak up off the floor and stood. Shaking her head, she looked ready to apologize to Zhi for the distractions but looked up instead. โA-HA!โ With her free hand, the woman reached up and ripped a piece of paper off the arch of the doorway above. The other end was a remote seal. โAh-hah! Haahaha!โ The woman laughed triumphantly, crumpling the note and finally, finally answers Zhi, โKids. They figure out summoning and teleportation and it all goes to their heads!
Not the most reasonable of spots to deposit anything was in a doorway In the back, however, the noise of a heavy door sliding open letting loose a little voice now wailing into howl side-tracked the womanโs further attempt to speak to Zhi. โTSU-TSUU!โ Echoing heartbreak and betrayal through the home! โTSUUU-TSUU! AUNTIE SEINNAAโS PRIS- PIRS- PRISSY PUPPET TRIPPED ME!โ The little voice grew louder and louder with the sound of tiny shoes tromping through the house until she found the first adult who wasnโt apologetically chasing after her. The rubber skip rope being dragged behind the littlest Umechika in her tiny clutches even as she rushed to press herself against the nearest leg.
โExcuse me a moment.โ The silk cape was thrown over her shoulder before the older woman now known as โTsu-tsuโ could do much more. As the tiny child shed (what might have been goat tears) her heartbreak in her grandmotherโs pant legs, she received consoling pats on her shoulder and a gentle, loving touch on the cheeks. โIโm sorry, baby. Prissy puppet and Seina didnโt mean to trip you. It was an accident! I know it hurts. Gimme' just a second, baby.โ 'Give me just a second and I'll pick you up'. Thalia whimpered a moment longer as she turns her head from hiding. The doorway was open last her broken-hearted self noticed and the sunlight cast a great shadow over a new face. Thalia stared at Zhi. Quiet. Blue. Sniveling only a moment to take in just who was dividing the soothing pity her grandmother โTsu-tsuโ could give her. Watching her grandmother carefully as she asked their blue haired guest again almost without interruption, "What I can do for you?" Almost without interruption. Thalia's voice sounding off again. "Tsu-tsu," Thalia tore her sights away from Zhi to tug for attention, "you skip rope with me. I don't wanna' play with Prissy anymore."
Thalia color reference: "You thought you could steal my cookies?! Think again! You will regret the day you crossed the mighty Thalia!!"
Tsuyu:
Seina: A young lady in her mid-twenties with brown hair, worn in two ordinary-sized ponytails. Her eyes are brown in color and look similar to Sadayoโs despite being more hooded. But distinct differences between the Soga sisters are their noses and Seinaโs slightly more pronounced cheekbones - because sheโs a cutie. She loves the โworldโs cutest nieceโ. "Skip! S-kiiip! Skip!"
__ A brief collage of images processed through Zhi's golden right eye just before the door was answered. The spatter of insight was triggered subconsciously, and honestly helped her feel a bit more at ease for what might be to come. The young azure-haired woman just smiled at who she had figured to be Sadayo's mother when the door was answered. In the moment that Tsuyu shrieked at the surprise summoning at the doorstep Zhi took a short evasive step back to avoid getting any of the ink on herself. She stared at the cloth for a moment, 'Pretty sure that belongs to miss fluffy buns. Definitely. Messy messy.' She jokingly scolded the busy mother in her reserved thoughts, waiting for a chance to finally introduce herself and state her business here. "No kidding, huh?" Zhi agreed while chuckling with the comment about kids figuring out how summoning arts could be used, for better or worse. She peered around the "older" woman when she heard a very young girl crying and howling down the halls with a jump rope in tow.
Zhi nodded understandingly, "Of course! Take all the time you need." The girl woefully explained her plight to her grandmother all while tattling on a lady who very closely resembled Sadayo. Zhi had sensed the almost-lookalike playing in the back yard with Thalia until just recently. Her eyes moved from Thalia to Seina who had fallen a little behind in the halls with her apologies for the lass, and finally rested on Tsuyu once more. Zhi was lost behind a pleasant but small smile as she vividly remembered troubling her own mother and father with her overly hyperactive rambunctiousness. Tsuyu's acknowledgment of her again was almost missed, "Oh right! Sorry! I was just admiring your adorable family, ma'am." Zhi gave a slight bow to the matronal woman, "I actually came here because I wanted to meet you all. I'm kind of a friend of Sadayo's. Although, I guess we'd be more like acquaintances? Heheh.." She awkwardly chuckled at the realized pity that her and Sadayo didn't spend nearly enough time around each other in their youth. "Zhi Zenshin, and I'm sure it'll be a pleasure to meet you. All of you." Then Zhi stood up on the balls of her feet to get a bit closer to whisper to Tsuyu, "I'm also half-siblings with the little one's father. Hush hush, though. I don't think he knows yet!" Zhi winked at the lady as she set herself back down flat on her feet. Looking back to Thalia she'd offer, "Hiya little one. Could I play with you if Tsu-tsu says it's okay too?" She knelt down almost to the child's eye level with an endearing smile full of love that she'd been stockpiling since she found out not only about her relation to Masato but of the family he was starting here in Konohagakure. She kinda got so lost in her own excitement to meet her niece that she forgot what her little her visions suggested of the very young quasi goddess' volatile temperament.

tabโOh?โ The womanโs reply carries a tune like the thought of Sadayo having another, unknown, friend was a delightful surprise. โReally?โ Even if Zhi was plainly just some acquaintance. Struck her odd, still, that someone was coming this far. Although this sense of doubt more likely came just from the protective mama-bear instincts and unease from having her defenseless granddaughter in the house without the luxury of Masato running around. Nonetheless, Tsuyu listened and held the door for Zhi Zenshin.
โHuhโฆโ a mellowed, thoughtful interjection mumbles into Tsuyuโs reply taking in note of Zhiโs claim of connection. This was a lot to take in if it were true. In short, she was mulling over the known branches of the unpolished Demi-godโs family tree as was certainly some worthwhile news. At least to her familyโs knowledge, most known connections to Masatoโs family tree were either plainly not part of this world, disappeared, or dead. Apparently there were some mystery off-shoots Tsuyuโs household just didnโt know about. Or was it a hoax? โSo then. Youโre friends with her father? โ She asks, trying to sound more curious than suspicious, watching their guest kneel in the doorway to Thaliaโs level. The thought didnโt occur to her that Zhi was kneeling into Thalia danger zone. โYou know him?โ While she may have just been reiterating what she meant Tsuyu held back the part she didnโt exactly want to say. Zhi was likely, already very capable of filling in the gaps: You know heโs about two-hundred pounds worth of seething punches and I donโt want to know how heโll manage if I let anything bad happen to this little girl he somehow has?
Meanwhile, below, Thalia doesnโt hurry to answer any offers to keep playing. Ultimately, playtime was what she wanted but attention was what she wanted more! If Mommy nor Daddy could give her attention right now then their substitutes would be her pick! Zhi just hadnโt made the cut yet! Thalia had to size up her new playmate first with a staring match. Like mommy, keeping a straight face means business and serious business for Thalia was playtime. Keeping a straight face totally wasnโt easy. With each passing victory sheโd feel entitled to claim a beaming smile, stretching from cheek to cheek, was slowly giving itself away. Against the burning need to blink, however, her glowing smile fell and she blinked! Just when she thought the grown-ups were distracted this was right about when the little girl followed her instinctual drive to strike Zhiโs shin with all the might her little foot could carry (and having a shoe helped)! The blow was hardly anything, honestly, but plenty to boast to her father about how she helped defend the home from a stranger! Swapping her beaming grin and victories for the escape, Thalia was quick to shove herself away from Tsuyuโs pant leg and turned toward the way she came.
โSTRANGER! STRANGER," Thalia says, squealing louder and louder on the break from Tsuyu. The long, rubber rope sliding and clacking on its way behind her. Of course, the little loudmouth girl didnโt take her auntโs presence into account and was stopped, scooped up into an embrace, and held upright. Her escape was almost flawless but she didnโt take her auntโs presence into account. Tusyu was actually just a bit distracted by the flip-flop of Thaliaโs behavior. โI am so sorry,โ she sighs, rubbing her cheek. โSheโs going through a phase right now where kicking is becoming her default response when sheโs upset.โ Tsuyu was speaking like a true witness to other Thalia-related bad front door greetings. Just one moment among many. Between chiding Seina for holding the baby wrong and any awkward attempt she would have made in response to assisting Zhi post aftermath of Thalia's mighty kick, Tsuyu steps aside. โYou donโt need to be stuck in the doorway for introductions either. Please come in.โ Thatโs that. Tsuyu was certain to introduce herself, Seina, and then lead the attention to the littlest, fuming Umechika.โThalia, you need to apologize to your guest.โ Firm but eased with a gentle, experienced touch. A squirming, toddler on path to becoming a defeated toddler in her auntโs bind. What else was a little girl to do? She poked out her lips with defeat showing itself as plum-tuckered, drooping little arms and legs, โiโm sorry.โ Didnโt apologies fix things? Still, Thalia couldnโt help but feel her odds for playtime were on thin ice but she knew she had at least one last card to play. Flashing her most gooey, doe-eyed look to Tsuyu, Thalia finally answers Zhi about her offer. โTsu-Tsu,โ she says dolefully, โI want Zhi to play with me.โ However hopeful, Thalia was already beginning to pull and bunch up her jump rope. She wasnโt a neglected baby, honest. Being a lonely, only child was plainly Thaliaโs unconscious way to win over her grandmotherโs bleeding heart and Seina unthinkingly helped. โAwe, Tsu-tsu, look at this face!โ
Tsuyu seemingly held her breath during a pause. The apprehension in allowing a strange, grown woman claiming connection to the divine practically son-in-law could only hold her back for so long. Thalia wouldn't be alone and Masato's uncanny abilities where he just seemed to know where to find her were assured. "Alright. It will be okay if You and Seina play with Zhi." If anything was going to raise Thalia's spirits it was that! Tsuyu's apparent bleeding heart for her only grandchild sent Thalia into the brightest of smiles and she wasted nothing on racing to Zhi, forcing one end of the rope into her hands, and then right back around to the backdoor. โLetโs go! lesโ go lesโ go! Letโs go!โ Where the cry of her outdoor voice bled back into the house; โJUMP JUMP! JUMP! MOVE PRISSY! YOU GOTTA MAKE ROOM FOR ZHI!โ
There was plenty of room outside for Zhi. Plenty of room outside for everyone! The home itself might not boast exceptional wealth but the yard had heaps of space and trees for Thalia to play around. A patio for her to jump rope featuring colorful remnants of chalk drawings, a sandbox with toy colorful shovels, pails, large bouncy balls, and a partially buried hula hoop. Even her own (miniature) woodness fortress and swing! All this greenspace just made better sense to have for Thalia. The other half was generally a bunch of grown-up stuff like a vegetable garden she would have fun running through. With Thalia eagerly tugging and wiggling her end of the rope, quietly calling on Zhi, she was joined shortly by Seina. โโLesโ jump! Me first! Hurry! I wanna jump to the moon! OK, not really, but I wanna jump some more!โ She handed her end of the jump rope to Seina and was standing ready for Zhi. Thalia was more than eager not to trip again!

Tsuyu:
Seina: A young lady in her mid-twenties with brown hair, worn in two ordinary-sized ponytails. Her eyes are brown in color and look similar to Sadayoโs despite being more hooded. But distinct differences between the Soga sisters are their noses and Seinaโs slightly more pronounced cheekbones - because sheโs a cutie. She loves the โworldโs cutest nieceโ. "Skip! S-kiiip! Skip!"
__ Zhi chuckled and nodded, "You could say that, yes. Muscle-sempai and I have known each other since Sunagakure. We're friends, or at least I hope we're still friends. Do you stay friends with people you don't talk to for a long time?I hope so." Zhi's voice trailed as she voiced her train of thought for a little bit. Her attention was pulled back to Thalia when the clinching moment took form as a tiny raging foot against Zhi's shin. The strike was surprisingly solid for the child being so young, but Zhi managed to stay mostly standing upright. Thalia's adorable attention-grabbing squeaks about Zhi being a stranger made her chuckle hardily at the course of events. Tsuyu's apology was met with a gentle shake of her head, "No no, it's fine! She's got a strong kick, a lot like her father." Zhi nodded after wholeheartedly forgiving her niece and accepted the offer to enter their home. Thalia was asked to apologize for her actions and Zhi couldn't say no to her lesson in kindess. At that moment, Zhi reactivated a connection to the Enlightening Brand seal that she'd put on Masato's shoulder more than half a decade ago. If he accepted the shared sensory link, he'd witness his daughter's cute apology. Zhi knelt down and smiled toward the girl then nodded, "It's okay as long as you do it to protect people. You're pretty strong, so be careful~" Zhi's voice was likely only a little more mature than Masato might remember, but he would probably recognize her all the same. Zhi kept her smile for Thalia, being the only one that could sense the divine power of Evergreen's lineage lying dormant within the little girl.
She blinked with a little surprise when it was suggested they play, but warmly welcomed the activity. With Tsuyu's permission, Zhi followed Siena and Thalia out to the yard for jump roping. Admittedly, Zhi was restraining her excitement to play with her niece as she tagged along. She admired the worn and faded chalk drawings, and really honed in on the newer art pieces as she met up with the others to jump rope. The toys and other obvious signs of backyard use made her reminiscent of her own childhood. She made her father play with her at any chance she could when not busy with her lessons or training. Zhi chuckled and nodded before taking the other end of the rope across from Siena, "Okay Thalia! Show us how well you jump!" She cheered her niece on and would work in tandem with the aunt to get the playtime going again. "I hope your mom or dad can join us to play too." The comment was more for the possibly linked Masato than for the girl, but she honestly did wish to see them again soon. Thalia's father could see images of his daughter jumping rope with Sadayo's family involved or observing.

The other Sadayo, identical in all ways besides durability to withstand an extra hit, was attempting to fulfill what her sturdy duplicate wanted. Within Thaliaโs lifetime, Sadayo has already gone through one lavishly silken cape and she was not prepared to lose a second one. Certainly, she wasnโt prepared to lose a cape through her own careless devices. There was something comforting about having identical capes (but a slightly different lace pattern veil that really nobody needed to stare at for too long). The original cape was put through some โunspeakable travestyโ and sent to storage. Her second cape, as of very recently, was subjected to a speckle of magic ink. Walks home were generally lengthy now but, fortunately, were often peaceful. In contrast to making oneโs way home through a winding path of streets with a toddler in her arms and an intimidating puppet often carrying her dayโs luggage in tow, the earth trodden path leading away from the activity of the village was actually really nice. This walk, although the same as many others, was one in which Sadayo wasnโt fully soaking in the peace. Her thoughts were waging battle over the other with details of different ideas, worries, and wonders trying to scale the other: she worries for her own wellbeing as her other half was venturing into forgien lands; she fears being dispelled in front of her own child, and of how long her other self will be away. What was ahead of her? It was unfortunate they couldnโt share sight. While one Sadayo was off seeing a foreign land the other might be off to see the results of a manโs triumphant testament to his hard work and daily dedication. The mountaintop tower was complete, after all. Plainly, it would be nice to see both. tab Now, to Thalia, the house guest known as Zhi was turning out to be alright so far. She didnโt look disappointed in her over the slightest, silliest of reasons and sheโs going to play! The littlest Umechika could only reason that Zhi must have been nice and loads of fun to be her fatherโs friend and probably very smart, too. Why, the woman was already on the mark with her comment blatantly recognizing Thaliaโs budding strength. Compliments were endearing from family but from a stranger a compliment comparing the father and daughter pair gave Thalia all the zest and zeal to put her best foot forward in her first jump. Flattery was leaving her feeling as light as a feather and as unyielding as a roaring waterfall to display only her grandest of jumps. Daddy, she thought, was very much the fastest Umechika but he didnโt attain such without dedicating himself to bettering himself. Sheโd boast how high she could jump over how fast she could skip. โOne!โ Two! Threeโฆโ At last she was happily, quickly counting away to her heartโs content right up until she lost count and just wanted to jump. tab
Back inside, you see, Sadayo was just coming home. Nothing felt unusual aside from being greeted by an empty doorway. Someone found her cloak. She felt a diverting need to look up too on the hope her sealing paper was still pasted on the doorway. Nope. Gone. Foiled. If she couldnโt place seals above a clothes hamper, or bask under her papery statement piece above the door then it was becoming apparent that the abuse of seals for convenience wasnโt going to be a thing while living with her mother. Nobody greeted her but a quiet entry was a hit or a miss. Sadayo could come inside and be greeted with the rapid, pattering noise on wood floors of tiny bare feet drumming to her location. Or nothing at all. Maybe a call from her mother from another room? Somebody. Not even Kyomei. Little did Sadayo know that with the arrival of a house guest, her mother had passed the watchful eye to Seina and returned to whatever project she had going on at the other end of the house. Leaving the foyer and advancing through an adjacent hallway, Sadayo found herself stopping abruptly, catching sight of the white-gold and satin glimmer of her cape in a bar of sunlight hitting the counter in the kitchen. Seems she was going to have to clean it. Beats digging around in a clothes hamper.
What seemed like a stoneโs throw away was the door leading outside. With the weather being fair and such, it wasnโt too terribly uncommon for the back door to be left open. A harmless housefly wouldnโt be the end of the world (and when oneโshouseholdโs proficient in maneuvering disembodied mechanical hands around to capture and crush pests then a harmless bug was free practice).Thalia was just wrapping up her turn having counted all the way up to thirty. Hopping over the rope one last time, the little girl spun about and held her arms out toward Zhi. โZhiโs turn,โ she says, hurrying to the womanโs side where upon kneeling to wrap her little hands on the loose, dangling portion of the rope and leading Seina to chime in from the other end, โask politely, Thalia. Donโt just take it from her.โ Without a doubt Zhi was sure to share the jump rope with her cutest niece but Thalia was still taken back by a voice asking her, not chiding her, to do something politely. In tune with Seinaโs request, Thaliaโs little hands hurried to release the rope and she angled her stare upward to Zhi. Her right hand suddenly gripped the brim of her off-centered straw hat. โMay I have the rope?โ Having asked politely was better than not asking at all. Certain to receive the rope, the little girl then turns back to Seina at the other end of the rope calling, โwill you make Prissy turn the rope? โCause I wanna jump too!โ โYes,โ Seina nods, trailing into a delighted giggle, โ Prissy can turn the rope for you.โ
โOh, I forgot.โ She stepped around Zhi to the puppet tend to the puppet she was yelling at previously, and started slapping grass off his ornate garments. โThatโs Prissy. Mommy says we should be nice to him but thatโs just because she talks to all of them. Prissy can turn the rope super fast like when I get Daddy to jump rope!โ Prissy, as Thalia continues to call him, was a mostly a retired, old combat humanoid puppet that rivals Sadayo in height and has since been fitting to mimic the appearance of a noble prince in voluminous robes and a sokutai crown. The puppet takes Thaliaโs childish games as one of her playmates with a delicate, pensive expression thatโs been painted over time and time again. With Seinaโs lead, Prissy seems to escort Thalia back to the long rubber rope where she bends to grab the rope and place it in the princeโs open hand. She turns. โYou stand there,โ she says to Zhi, motioning for her to come forward and give her spot to the standing puppet. โIโll stand here!โ Thalia announces her plan proudly as takes a spot parallel to Zhi. For the little oneโs sake, Seina gently swung the rope to tap Thaliaโs ankle to prepare her for the starting jump. โOne. Two.โ Why, Thalia was mentally one tap away from starting her first jump with Zhi when it occurred to her she was looking up at someone with two of the most amazing eye colors ever. The little girl suddenly couldnโt help herself but gasp loudly as reality was finally clicking for her, โooh! Wait Seina, wait!โ Reaching to pinch the sides of her hat again and hopping a step closer to Zhi she blurted her question, โdo you have magic eyes like Daddy?โ Behind her, Seina could be seen shaking her head and placing her hand to her cheek. Thalia's wonder taking hold might mean Seina is holding a rubber rope all for naught. โMine are kindaโ yellow-y but not like that one!โ she added and pointed upward toward Zhiโs bright yellow eye.โItโs more yellow-y than Mamaโs. Here. We jump and you tell me!โ tab
Inside, Sadayo was wrapping up her wash by the sink and unrolling her ink-free cape from a now dampened towel. Wrinkles, fortunately, werenโt looking like an issue. She spreads the damp cape on the counter again and disappears briefly to collect a hanger from another room. Still, not a soul yet to notice she was there. Her parents must have really been chipping away at some project in the โworkshopโ to not hear her. With the sun still beaming and the outdoors wafting its way inside the gentle warmth from daylight would be a sublime spot to hang her cape to dry. Maybe her solid self, miles away, wasnโt missing it too badly. Now with only time wedging between Sadayo and dry silk she slipped the cape on a hanger.
Even indoors, now just steps from a family dining space, it wasnโt too hard to miss the sprightly sounds of one, small familiar voice. What a treat it was for Sadayo feel the sensation of her heart just beginning to flutter with the most tender sentiments for her little one. So small and precious. When she reached the doorway a waft of fresh air made a childโs sunlit smile, stretching from cheek to cheek all the better. Her smile seeming as equally bright as sunshine beside her piping call to โMommyโ. The call prompting Seinaโs turn to stop against Zhiโs ankle just as the little girl hurries over the rubber rope. She was within a hair of tripping to her knees but Thalia was still bee-lining amidst a determined wobble toward Sadayoโs hip nearly faster than the woman could register. Neither had seen one another since quite some time before the sun went out. How quickly the little girl hurried to smack into one of her parentsโ is a probable safe indication of how long it's been since sheโs seen one of them. Thalia ecstatically clasps both arms around Sadayoโs leg and warmly pressed her cheek to a warm pant leg. The child angled herself to look back at Zhi and Seina with a content, covertly false, smile as her little hands were at work behind Sadayoโs thigh who was securing a clothes hanger from the base of a frilly porch light.
Her little fingers began to prod firmly into fabric working in unison to vengefully pinch more than just the pantโs clinging fabric. One subdued case of rage incarnate disguised as a hug. Sadayo had hardly any time to greet Zhi or Seina with the sensation of what she nearly swore were ant bites nipping away at her. Swiveling her attention instead to the back of her leg Sadayo began taking and moving Thaliaโs hand. Repeatedly. Thalia was persistent to have her way. โStop. Stop that! Quit pinching, Mommy.โโNo! You were GONE for TOO LONG, mama!โ Thalia cried out amidst a sudden, fuming rage. Her pinching spree was growing more determined with each denying grab. Each word she said, fuming, was being met like dodging practice with her tiny hands weaving out of and around Sadayoโs larger grasp. โGO-GO, TSU-TSU, AND SEINA ARE HERE AND YOUโRE NOT! IT GOT REALLY DARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND NOBODY KNEW WHERE YOU WERE!" After swapping the subject to the untimely eclipse, Thalia changed her tactic from pinching to one grand, bouncy headbutt into her motherโs hip. The front brim of her little hat crunching against Sadayo's leg before popping off and falling.
Fighting Thaliaโs spouts of anger was a delicate challenge even for a level headed Sadayo. She didnโt like to stand for needless rage from Masato and wouldnโt let any other Umechikaโs needless rage turn her into a punching bag. Having her parents in the picture, Sadayo has since had to learn to handle her daughterโs rage in a completely different light than she may Masatoโs: Stern but she canโt expect her anger to go off and fully resolve itself. Thalia, like any youngster, was testing the limits of what she can and canโt do.Pinching her mother in a fit of rage was beyond being OK canโt do but Thaliaโs offense wasnโt warranting anything beyond a stern talking to. Ultimately, Thalia was plucked off Sadayo's leg like a cat clinging from a carpeted scratching post and plopped down into the open doorway. Her mother now turned from Seina and their guest for the length of time Thalia was given a firm talking to about why pinching and headbutting mommy was wrong when she's angry and coaxed to go calm down with her jump rope. Sadayo rubbed soothingly on the little raging baby's forehead and before she turned, knelt and pick up her hat. In this exchange, Thalia tried to block the doorway from Sadayo long enough to mumble a piteous plea juice. Sadayo nodded, took her hand, and was lead inside by a less fuming Thalia. Seina chimes in as the drama of Tiny Rage comes to an intermission, โ...and thatโs Mommy. Ma-ma-da-yo. Theyโll be back. On nice days like this Thalia's sent outside to drink her juice and someone sits out here with her.โ It was peaceful now without the seething rage bomb that was Thalia and her fuse was proverbially snipped and primed for another explosion. Seina shrugs and takes in a breath as her end of the rope slackens right before it gets very, very tight with her own explosion of enthusiasm. The rubber rope rising and innocuously popping at Zhi's knee. โBACKTRACK!" She shouts and slacks on the rubber rope again."You know MA-SA-TO, Huuh? Or should I say PA-PA-TOโ she could only joke and smile like a schoolgirl who was saying something dirty. Seina was clearly proving herself to be the more boisterously, open of the two Soga sisters. โI donโt think he likes me calling him that but itโs funny to gauge any responses out of him when I can get emโ. Like, I guess this is one big turnaround from him being a walking scary face who breaks puppets to bits! I only get to go off what Sadayo says since I never ACTUALLY met him until I was here, ya know?โ Beside Zhi, Seina guided her prince to fold his arms inward and shiver. His clattering hands were brought up to mouth to mimic a fearful person biting their fingers. โHave you seen him lately? I bet you wouldnโtโa thunk heโs a papa!โ Seina asked as she moves the prince puppet to go from terrified to flexing nonexistent muscles. โHe comes and goes," she sang thoughtfully, wondering when was the last time she saw Masato. โI see em' but I usually take that window of peace to disappear and let Daddy-Daughter time happen so I get my breaks! โ

Yo'ichi walked through the residential area of the Village and looked around, he was supposed to be in the shop. He wanted a break, oddly enough... the clientele were difficult. He sauntered through the residential streets and walked into an alley. His parents hated it when he smoked, they thought the smell stained the flowers. As he leaned against the wall, he pulled a small pack of cigarettes from his pocket and a small lighter. It was the same lighter his father used to use. He lit the smoke and looked up into the dimming sky, it was these small moments that he seemed to enjoy the most. He exhaled and looked around, it was a particularly slow day but the last thing he wanted was to be caught by his dad... or worse... his mom.

Walking down the streets of the residential district Shikarie found herself getting annoyed. There were so many damn people out today. Initially, she was going to head back to her place to take a nap. But once she stopped and realized that her parents were probably both home. Her father was just as lazy as easy-going as she was. But her mother, well that was a different story. She tends to be more on the bossy do as I say type. She probably had her father doing some chore around the house, yelling at him about how lazy he was. She sighed heavily at the thought that she would probably get yelled at too and put to work."Maybe I shouldn't go home."She said to herself. She quickly turned the corner in the opposite direction of her home and started to mindlessly walk around.
As she strolled her eyes would scan the area searching for the ideal napping spot. The problem is that there were so many people out today that it was noisy. So naturally, she started to think of where people would be roaming around as much. After making a few turns there seemed to be fewer and fewer people. Perfect for the ideal urban nap. If she slept in the trees she would for sure be caught by someone and told to go somewhere else. So, she took the roofs. After leaping across a few buildings she finally settled down on one that looked to be close to a flower shop. It didn't appear to be too busy which meant little traffic.
Taking off her jacket she bundled it up into a ball and placed it on the cement. Using it as a pillow she would lay down and watch the clouds roll by. crossing her feet at the ankles she would rest one hand across the stomach and rested the other across her eyes, shielding them from the sunlight. It didn't take long before she dozed off. After some time had passed Shikarie woke up. She continued to lay there looking up at the sky. The clouds always seemed so peaceful and relaxing to her. Almost like counting sheep. Sitting up Shikarie took her arms and stretched them towards the sky. As she did this a small gust of wind blew through just enough to move her jacket back slightly. It was just enough that when she brought her arms back down behind her to prop herself up, she accidentally knocked it over the edge. "Damn it." She complained. Looking over the edge of the building she watched as her jacket floated its way down, landing on some boy's head.
Yoichi had his lips pursed and a lighter in his hands when the jacket descended into him. Dropping the smoke and the lighter, he took the coat in his hands and looked around. Knowing that it just came from above him, he took some steps away from the wall and looked up " Not to state the obvi... but you dropped your jacket! " He screamed up to the woman lounging on the edge of the balcony, though it seemed like the ideal spot to nap... he was trying to get away with something he shouldn't be doing. He held up the jacket and tapped his foot; his notorious natural energy started to flow through him. He lit his smoke finally and looked at her " I'm kinda doing something I shouldn't be doing... can you help me out? " taking another puff of his smoke. He was trying his best to try and remain inconspicuous but still within the girls' sight.

As she leaned over the edge of the building all the could do was watch as her jacket rested it's head on top of the boys head. She watched as the the boy took a few steps away from the wall he was rested on. He held up her jacket, gesturing for her to come and get it. Shikarie moaned at the thought of having to move from the roof. Standing up on her feet she sighed before leaping down from her napping spot. The sound of her boots clicking on the ground as she landed echoed slightly in the alley."Thanks." She said unenthusiastically. Sliding her arm into the first arm hole she could feelt the soft fabric against her bare arms. Just as she was putting her arm through the second sleeve the boy asked her for her help because he was doing something he shouldn't be. Great just what she needed" Help with what exactly? If you mean the smoking why don't you just quit." She said to the boy while waving her hand in front of her nose. If she was honest she really didn't like the smell. She saw it as an excuse for people to be "cool." Who really cares about being cool anyway, not her. Dropping her hand she just danged her arms at her sides. The sleeves of her jacket were longer than her arms, so her hands were entirely hidden behind the fabric. She would just stand there staring at the boy with the boredest look on her face.
Yo'ichi smiled and put his hand on his hip, she was feisty and he liked it. Bored Yo'ichi was mischievous, he took a drag from the cigarette and blew it in the air away from the girl, though she was opposed to smoking. He was going to be at least considerate of her presence. He looked down at it and stared at it for a moment " It's totally gross but it's small acts of rebellion that matter. " Yo'ichi didn't honestly know why he thought that the best act of rebellion was smoking, he knew that anything that masked the scent of the flowers annoyed his dad.
He smiled and looked at her, she looked positively drained in the best way. He was searching his brain for small talk, he was bored and anything best having to go back to work " So...? Wanna hang out? " He shrugged and looked around " I'll totally put this out. " He took one last puff of his cigarette and put it out on the ground, placing it in a nearby garbage can. He looked at her as he rifled through his pockets " I'm Yo'ichi Yamanaka. My parents own a flower shop a couple blocks over. " He pulled out a small piece of gum and unwrapped it.
