Lieselotte approached and Sakazuki was initially distracted, as if she had sensed Etheldreda’s own curiosity through their bond. However, she recovered, looking towards her comrade. With Shuku and the others moving off, the time seemed proper to allow a more important question to arise. Her fists clenched slightly before she took a quiet breath. “That person from before… I’m ready to learn who she was,” the Circe said quietly, though her tone was quiet, as if to discuss such a person was someone utterly forbidden.
===
The sheep girl toddled along after her, and it wasn’t long until Mei was doing the same. Soon enough, after the Mayonaka had snatched several necessities, such as soap (Shuku was not so foolish as to not pack it) and several towels, she looked towards Katsu. “Can you find a river anywhere?” While she was quite aware that there was a flow somewhere nearby, after all, Sakazuki had washed the night before, it’s exact location utterly eluded her… Though hopefully, the PokeGirl was not so worn as to lead them astray.
===
The maid was rather silent. Oddly however, she didn’t feel the need to pester Alice’s mother for bad parenting. After all, after residing within Hidden Void, it was not an entirely foreign concept to her. There were times when children were left behind, one if not both of the parents failing to be around because of either training or missions. Sometimes, the child would be sent under the care of another, or in the case of Alice, ‘let loose’ once she was old enough to fend for herself. It was a cruel fate, but one that had come to be acceptable within modern life. “I admire your enthusiasm.”
===
Taking in the pattern within that glance, Menace nodded as she proceeded to attempt her jutsu. She focused upon Melona, or more precisely, envisioned the image of her mentor going through the seals. Horse, Tiger, Monkey, Ox. She repeated it within her mind before slowly, she went through each seal as well. Horse, Tiger, Monkey, Ox. She reenacted the seals again, this time with much more zeal and speed as she focused her chakra, always focusing upon the image of her teacher. With that, a sound was heard, puffs of smoke suddenly occurring around the Imohtep, shrouding her from view. When it cleared, she appeared very much different as she looked around. “Nothing happened…” She said suddenly, disappointed. However, it was quite clear that she was oblivious to the fact that her jutsu was a grand success. She had been expecting to see her clone, or a ball of fire… But instead, something unexpected had occurred. She had changed shape… Transformed into Melona’s appearance. However, did not yet seem to notice.
===
Echidna shifted, going from her kneeling position into a sitting one. She hardly seemed to mind as her rear became ever so partially submerged within the golden sap. “The real world will not cut you any slack, thus, nor will I.” She closed her eyes as her fingers seemed to trace the thick liquid, her impressions within the sap visible for a single moment before they filled themselves in. However, she paid the images no mind, even as her eyes opened. She looked towards her pupil. “We will continue until you land a blow on me, understood?” She said, her tone reciting this as if it were an order of the highest importance. “If that forces us to spend all our hours and continue on into the night, then so be it.”
===
Pan shook her head. Again, a fluctuation of RPMs… And yet, there wasn’t a single speck of dust or any matter of minute obstruction within V-13’s cooling system when she had inspected. For a moment, she wondered if the android was the type to clean herself with compressed air whenever she had the chance to. There were certainly types that did that… Some called them neat freaks, but those individuals that constantly upheld cleanliness, they were aware of the consequences that could accompany the allowance of even a speck of dust within their system.
===
Every so often, Shouko would look down to make sure that Dizzy was close to her. In fact, she never strayed more than several meters away from the blue haired woman. She stayed within range so that if the occasion came when her comrade did fall, she would be in position to make the rescue. Every so often, the question, “Do you need a break?” would arise as they made their way along, the distance between their current position and the ground growing over time.

 Honehime nodded, too worn out to do anything more at the moment. Her breath was returning nicely, though, and there was a decently cool breeze that was flowing past them. She would be ready to go in just a little bit longer. She was trying to think, think of a way that she could possibly land a hit on her teacher. Echidna was obviously a master fighter, grappler and weapons expert. It would not be easy for her to land even a single hit, especially if she only tried frontal attacks. She need to try something a little more sneaky and underhanded. Misdirection would be her key to success. She took in a deep breath, finally feeling the simple satisfaction of her lungs being able to take in a full breath of air, before releasing it in a sigh. She gathered her hands under her before she pushed herself upright, wobbling slightly as she regained her balance and prepared for the next round of their training battle. (29302 words + 167 words = 29469 words)  Lieselotte didn't answer right away. She just remained silent for a long moment, putting her thoughts into order. She owed the information to Sakazuki, after she had joined in to fight Zenia off. She just hoped that by telling her this, she wouldn't be putting her in further danger. "Alright. Zenia Valov. She is anozzer who works for ze same line of work as I do. She is a close-in fighter, specializing in weapons and taijutsu. I worked wiz her from time to time, enough to know zat she is serious, and always on ze lookout for a good fight. She is very strong, and stubborn. She will be back, sooner or later." She had avoided saying anything concrete about the organization that she, and Zenia, were a part of, she was still at least that loyal to her mission. Hopefully she had said enough to satisfy Sakazuki's curiosity. She glanced at Etheldreda, wondering how this unknown would factor into their future activities. (25598 words + 167 words = 25765 words)   Katsu yawned again as she paused, Shuku asking if she knew where the river was. She didn't, but she knew how to find out. She was still sleepy, though, which meant she didn't even think to announce what she was doing. Instead, she just turned and moved toward Mei, one of her hands fumbling it's way into Mei's skirt pocket, before pulling out her PokeDex. She pressed it into Mei's hands, and opened it up. The PokeDex was keyed to Mei, it wouldn't work for anyone else without a lot of very delicate work. So she 'helped' Mei operate it, bringing up a map of the area, before spotting the closest river. Once she found that, she pointed in it's direction, mumbling that it wasn't very far away. And sure enough, it wasn't, they could get there within ten to fifteen minutes if they kept walking at that same casual pace they were keeping. Mei had squirmed a little at the hand in her pocket, but otherwise proved to be behaving well as well. (32286 words + 184 words = 32470 words)  Zenia continued to watch what was going on within the camp, deciding to stay and watch her primary targets, rather than the other half of the group, who were already moving off out of the camp's site, off to do something else. She refocused her gaze upon the trio who remained unaware that even now, they were talking about her. If she were to know, she would likely be irritated, and tempted to rush out and attack, but caution was her watchword for the moment. So she just kept watching, occasionally trying to pick up part of what was being said through reading lips. Unfortunately she had never really learned such a skill, so it was pretty much guesswork. Which meant that a disproportionately large portion of her guesses were pure gibberish. (12166 words + 133 words = 12299 words)  Melona continued to try running her own hands through the motions of the various hand signs, and willing the chakra to flow into the seals at the same time. She could feel something happening, and put even more concentration into it. Finally, with a puff of smoke, her vision was obscured. She wasn't sure if her attempt was successful or not, the smoke was throwing off her perceptions. As it cleared, she looked around, and was confused when she saw herself standing a short distance away, rather than Menace. It took her a moment to catch on to the fact that it actually was Menace, that she had performed the Henge no Jutsu correctly, and had taken the form of her! She looked at Menace, or was it herself, seeing how she looked from the outside. Then she looked down, and her eyes widened as she saw that she had changed shape, too! She was now Menace, just like Menace was now her! They had done it! (14849 words + 168 words = 15017 words)  Alice blushed lightly at the unexpected praise, glancing up at Airi before returning to watching what she was doing. She was doing her best to remember everything that was happening, so that she could do it once it was time. Finding out halfway through her meal that she hadn't paid enough attention would be far too late. Even so, her thoughts stretched out, as she wondered where her parents might be now, how their goals were coming along. If they would be coming home any time soon, to an empty house. If the three of them would ever manage to stumble across one another in their travels, to see how far the other had come in that time apart. Eventually, she did want to find her parents again, of course. But she hoped to get a little stronger first, so that she might impress them with how hard she was working while they were away. They were both devoted parents, but just as devoted to their own tasks, so she needed to get their attention on a similar footing. (15190 words + 180 words = 15370 words)  V-13 could feel her RPMs slowly start to return to normal. Very slowly, due in part to Pan's continued very close presence to her. She wasn't even fully aware that that was the actual cause of the fluctuations, nor that this was yet another example of how she seemingly had emotions. How could either of them understand the true significance of what she was going through? Indeed, how could either of them even conceive of the idea, without direct input from someone else who actually possessed emotions, real ones? No, this was just a pure mystery to them, they had no real knowledge to base it's symptoms on, nor did they have any potential hypotheses about what was causing it. Already, the seemingly remote access incident was being pushed further back in V-13's memory banks, this current problem receiving a large portion of her processing and computing power. Even then, and even with Pan's continued monitoring, it seemed they were no closer to finding out what they wanted to know. Namely, why was V-13 suffering from such unusual glitches and fluctuations, when there was no sign of physical tampering or damage? There had to be more to the mystery, they couldn't even find the solution. But they were determined to try, to find out what was seemingly crippling V-13's combat potential and success as an android, as well as the real cause of that remote access intrusion. (13401 words + 248 words = 13649 words)  Etheldreda listened in silence as Sakazuki asked about the woman from before, and then continued to remain silent as Lieselotte answered. She had not seen another woman, aside from the rest of their group. But it was safe to assume that this Zenia Valov would not be a part of their group. So she must have just missed her, perhaps? Maybe she was the cause of those injuries when she had first met Sakazuki? Then that meant she was an enemy. She frowned slightly at that, the idea that her partner had an enemy put her on edge somewhat. She would have to be aware of such things more closely in the future. After all, if she would have continued to be unaware of an enemy, then they could have sneaked up on them and launched a sneak attack at any time. Such sloppiness was not good, she needed to be more attentive. (6351 words + 153 words = 6504 words)  Dizzy kept at the tree climbing with dogged perseverance. She had one or two slight stumbles or missteps, but each time she managed to avoid total disaster by clinging to the branch she was on tenaciously. Even so, she began to grow tired again, after only a short time. She was breathing a little heavier, and she was starting to sweat a little, too. Finally, the next time that Shouko asked if she was doing alright, she asked if they could stop for a few minutes, so she could catch her breath. Overall, she was proud of her progress, for someone like her, who had had virtually no training, she had taken to the tree climbing well enough. Sure, you didn't have to be a ninja to know how to climb a tree, but it helped! She was still doing a perfectly respectable job on her own, though. She looked up through the tree's branches, there was still quite a ways they could go before even reaching the halfway point. This tree seemed even larger from here!

 ((Alright, I finally fixed my computer, so I swear I'll reply more often (even if school has already started). 3nodding )) Miku blinked and looked to both of her friends. She really wasn't all that badly hurt, what "pride" she had slightly hurt, but otherwise she was all and all fine. She laughed a light, nervous laugh and nodded since both of her friends had shared some concern for her after she had not been paying attention. "I am alright~! Thank you for asking." She hoped soon they would get out of the forest and back into town since she'd be able to figure out where a nice hotel was once back in civilization. It just so happened that, at the moment, she had more faith in Neru knowing the way out of the forest better than she did since she hadn't been paying any attention to where she was going when she had come into this wodded land in the beginning, her only concern at the time being to find James.(( ?))

 It had been nearly the whole morning since Tsuni trained in the forest. She looked up to see the sun still at the sky peeking through the trees. Maybe I should go back home, she thought as the girl threw the last round of kunai against the tree. Somehow, all the kunai hit the tree. A small smile tweaked her face as Tsuni went towards the tree to gather the kunai. Then turning, she walked away from the forest. That's when she realized something. I haven't talked to anyone over the past few days. I've only talked to Masaki, and that was days ago since I last saw him. Tsuni sighed as she made her way out of the forest, going towards the village.

Sakazuki listened as she leaned back against her gourd as if it her were some manner of couch to her. Though she seemed relaxed, it was quite clear that this was a matter she was treating with the utmost seriousness. Eventually, she clenched a fist, her eyes closing. “I see… And now my question is simply, how do I deal with her?” She was silent for several moments. “She doesn’t seem quite as easy to submit to merely words as you were,” she muttered before she raised a fist up several inches before punching the grassy earth they sat upon.
“So will it take brute strength to tame her?”
===
Shuku watched, about to scold the sheepgirl for touching the mistress when she should’ve been helping, however, when that small hand fished out the familiar device, she realized that Katsu had been doing just that. After some stressed instructions and a few electronic beeps, the river’s position had been revealed to them. With that, she made any changes to their course before marching along. She was impressed with Mei’s device, but didn’t seem to have enough enthusiasm to show it as she marched along, relief filling her as the sound of running water echoed through the woods, a welcome signal that they were drawing close.
A visual confirmation was only several steps away.
===
Airi listened to the water simmer across the kitchen as a silence fell between the two of them. Eventually however, her gaze rose to look at the girl for several moments. She meant what she had said about admiring the girl, yet at the same time, there was a certain degree of pity and anger that crossed her mind. Pity, at the simple idea that Alice really was nothing more than a lost child hoping to gain power and make her parents proud… And anger towards the girls parents for doing such. However, she, as an outsider had no right to criticize the parenting tactics of another, as Alice seemed equally happy in her current situation.
===
A cloud of smoke engulfed her mentor as well, however, a look of pure shock possessed Menace’s face as she found herself looking at… Herself?! Immediately, she looked down at her own form, finding not her usual dark skin coated in brass, but the gelatin like hands that served as a makeshift bra. Holy crap! Had they… Shifted bodies?! It seemed that the concept of transformation did not yet set in. She stared at her slime self, then bounced. Her body jiggled, as a slime girl’s body would, it shook more like jello than actual human flesh. Soon enough, Menace’s hands gripped the large pink breasts experimentally. Yes. It seemed very much so that she had taken up residence in Melona’s body. However, she was unsure on whether to be amused or utterly horrified!
===
Honehime rose to her feet and Echidna watched her with predatory eyes. “So you wish to continue?” It seemed to be like a trick question… After all, Echidna had made it quite clear that surrendering was not an option that was open to the Kaguya. They would fight until Honehime was either incapacitated or she had successfully left her mark upon Echidna. And who knew when such would occur? She rose to her feet, but made no movement to grab her sword. It seemed she would take on the girl bare handed for now… Was she underestimating Honehime?
===
The blond only gave a nod, effectively brushing off Miku’s response. For the first time since leaving the bar, Neru has happy to soon be back amongst the hustle and bustle of the town life. However, it was not because of the cheerful air, but more so the fact that now she was one step closer to a bed. A real freaking bed. Not a bar, or some smelly cot that a bartender was able to spare Haku somewhere to nurse off her hangover. A real, ******** lavish bed. She wanted it. She wanted it now
===
“An odd, and possibly repetitive inquiry, V-13, but do you think that you check out? Are all systems of your form in tip top condition?” Pan’s optics fell upon her underling, as she remained silent. Even if everything checked out, it was the subject, really, that held the deciding factor on whether or not he, she or it was fit for combat and exercise. After all, even if scanners could seek out the real stuff, they could never really substitute what was happening within the body of the patient… There were times when even a low ranking officer’s internal issues could elude a machine.
===
A break was requested and by all means, Shouko willingly gave it to her. She, herself, sat for a moment, reaching into her pocket to withdraw a handkerchief, which she used to dab at her temples. Even if she was ahead, she really wasn’t doing that much better than Dizzy. Ninja or nay, she was still not so fit as to do all of this entirely effortlessly. It took a toll on her just as much as it did on her new comrade. She looked down quietly, then gulped. They were still high up… At the point where if they fell, something, if not several somethings would likely shatter upon impact.
“Do you need to go back down?”

Honehime watched Echidna carefully, but only nodded her head in answer, rather than speaking it aloud. She watched, waiting for when her teacher would make her attack, but it didn't come. It looked like she would have to attack, instead. She readied herself, preparing to spring forward. She would charge toward Echidna in what must surely seem a suicidal charge, but just a moment before they would collide, she would throw her hand out, opening the closed fist she had been holding for the past moment. Releasing the handful of sap she had picked up when she got up, hopefully to splatter right in Echidna's face, giving her back the same treatment she had given earlier. And even if it didn't work as planned, then perhaps it would give Echidna enough of a distraction to allow Honehime to get in close and land a hit. It was too late for second thoughts, all she could do was try. (29469 words + 161 words = 29630 words) Lieselotte pondered what Sakazuki was saying. What would be the best way to make Zenia stop coming after them? Well, the true best way was to get the organization to lift it's orders, but she couldn't very well say that. Even then, Zenia was independent enough that she might take another shot at the two of them before leaving. What else, was there anything else she could think of? "Brute force might work, but zen again, it might just make her come back yet again. She is a fighter, she fights. It is what she does. I zink if we want to get her to stop, we have to give her what she wants. We will have to fight her. Wizz any luck, she will be satisfied, and zen go about her business, and zat will be zat." Not really much of a plan, but there wasn't much else she could think of. She knew Zenia was stubborn, and was looking for strong opponents. Therefore, since Sakazuki had fought her off once before, she would be coming back, there was no way to stop it. If nothing else, though, maybe they could stop it with that, so she wouldn't come back a third or fourth time for more rematches. (25765 words + 213 words = 25978 words) If Katsu would have been a bit more alert and awake, she would have definitely taken the opportunity to fondle and grope Mei a little. Luckily, or unluckily, that didn't happen. Instead, she had just went about the task with a dull efficiency, and then helped put the PokeDex back in Mei's pocket. With the location of the closest river revealed, the group changed it's course to head in the right direction, and continued on. Soon, she could smell the water, though she didn't know if the others could. A moment later, the sounds of flowing water would become audible, too. Mei let herself be guided through the process of using her PokeDex, she still hadn't fully familiarized herself with what all it could do. Plus, right now she wasn't in the best mental shape of her life, she was beginning to catch some of Katsu's sleepiness, and a nap was seeming like more and more of a good idea with every step they took. Of course, the river water would be cold, and wake them up, but she hadn't realized that just yet. (32470 words + 192 words = 32672 words) Zenia continued to watch silently. The more she watched, the better her ability to read lips got. Not by a huge amount, but if the three kept talking, eventually she would be able to read their lips easily enough to know what they were saying, as they were saying it. Already, her skill had grown enough that she recognized a word here or there, but still not enough to figure out exactly what they were talking about. She didn't let that bother her, though. Even if they were talking about something she didn't want them to talk about, there wasn't much she could do about it. She was stuck watching them until the right moment. The moment when she would finally get a measure of them, find out just how Lieselotte had changed, find out just how strong Sakazuki was, find out who the third person was. Only once she knew all of that, could she attack again. (12299 words + 161 words = 12460 words) Melona looked at Melona, no, Menace, curiously. They had switched forms, the Henge no Jutsu had been a success? She grinned happily, and was about to congratulate Melona, no, Menace, when she saw her grabbing her breast. She blushed a little, at seeing 'herself' fondle herself. That did give her an idea, though. Looking down at her now different but no less tempting body, she stepped forward, lust and hunger in her eyes as she drew closer to Melona, no, Menace. She licked her lips, and paused when she was just within arm's reach. "I had no idea that that was what I looked like, from the outside. I don't think it would be narcissistic of me to make love to myself." With that, she moved forward, wrapping her arms around her partner who looked like herself, tackling her gently to the floor, her lips seeking out Melona's, no, Menace's. Was this self love or something different? Impossible to say, but what a show it would be! (15017 words + 171 words = 15188 words) Alice noticed Airi's gaze and blushed a little at the attention. Diverting her own gaze, she checked on the water, and saw that, while not boiling yet, it was getting close. She remembered the standard watchphrase, 'a watched pot never boils' and tried to take it to heart. She took another look around the kitchen as she mentally ran through the various steps that were going into the preparation for the soup. She was pretty sure she had remembered everything, and that she would be able to do a decent attempt at it when she was out in the wild. Assuming she had the right ingredients, of course. After all, if she had no chicken, she could not really make chicken noodle soup. And even if frog meat tasted like chicken, that was no valid excuse to make frog noodle soup. That just sounded bizarre, even for her. She would have to remember to keep track of ingredients each time she left a village, make sure to stock up if needed. (15370 words + 172 words = 15542 words)  Haku smiled in relief when Mike said she was alright. Her gaze went to Neru for a moment, wondering if her eyes had played a trick on her. Had Neru really asked after Miku's well-being? Even though they were rivals? (At least according to Neru.) That was good, it meant that, at some level, she did acknowledge that they were friends, sort of. and that was good enough for now. She took a look around as they walked and realized they were nearing the edge of the forest; that they had just about returned to the village. One half of her grew a little depressed at that. The village meant people. People that didn't know her, that would mock and deride her for her voice if she wasn't careful. But on the other hand, the village meant they were on their way to a hotel, to get some rest. Some rest on real beds. Like Neru, she was looking forward to that very much. She had woken up on a smelly cot, covered with a threadbare blanket too many times, she needed somewhere to get some real sleep. (10851 words + 192 words = 11043 words) V-13 remained silent as she ran another full system check. No faults, glitches or program errors were making themselves known. According to standard procedure, she should be functioning perfectly. Yet those fluctuations in her RPMs, and the excess heat dispersal, those should have been detected, in one way or another. Even her service logs seemed to show that there had been no unusual activity. No, this was a problem that could not be fixed the standard way. Even though she was virtually completely mechanical, this seemed to be a problem that could not be fixed through maintenance and repair. No, there had to be another cause, one that she could find if she just paid attention to outside stimuli. If she could find what triggered these fluctuations, then perhaps she could find a way to stop them? She nodded slightly, and then redirected her gaze to Pan, her crimson optics' irises flaring slightly as her gaze drew closer. "Sir. I believe I am as fit as the situation indicates, and shall proceed with further standard procedures, while monitoring anything that might lead to further occurrences, sir." She saluted, her hand snapping up to the precise angle required, even though she was still laying down on the workshop table. For the first time in quite some time, she felt confident. Confident that she could find the cause, and find a way to fix it. Confident that she would succeed. Confident that Pan would be proud of her. Wait, what was that? But it was too late, the errant thought had already disappeared. (13659 words + 262 words = 13913 words) Etheldreda remained silent, still content enough to listen, rather than speak. As she did, she could feel more emotions through her bond to Sakazuki, enough that she was beginning to be able to put together what might have happened. Of course, she could probably just ask, and in the end, that might be a better course of action, rather than potentially getting some crucial fact mixed up. So finally, when Lieselotte and Sakazuki both finished speaking, she took her turn to. She turned to face Sakazuki, and asked just who this Zenia Valov was, and why were they going to have to fight? She was prepared to enter battle alongside Sakazuki, but she wanted to know the reason first. Plus, her magical energy hadn't fully regenerated yet, so hopefully the fight would not be coming for the next day or so. If it did, she would not be at her best. Plus, Sakazuki had not had enough time to get used to their combining, and likely didn't even notice any of the other powers at her disposal. (6504 words + 179 words = 6683 words) Dizzy moved to sit down upon a branch, her back resting against the tree's trunk, her legs hanging on either side of the branch. She wasn't breathing too hard, but it was clear she was getting tired. She leaned back against the trunk and let out a large sigh, feeling a pleasantly cool breeze blow past. This high up, they were almost at the level of the other trees' heights, and they could more easily feel the crossbreeze. When Shouko asked if she needed to head back down, she wearily shook her head. She was tired, true. But she wasn't ready to give up just yet. after all the work they had put in to getting this far, she didn't want to call it quits so easily. Plus, the idea of going back down the tree unnerved her a little, it was almost more daunting than the way up. Much like a cat, it seemed she could climb a tree, but getting back down was a problem.

Miku took her bag off her back and dug into it, where she found her wallet. She put her bag back onto her back and held onto the wallet so she'd be able to pay for a bed the second they got to a hotel. She even already knew of a pretty good hotel that'd be open. She then remembered something. She caught up to Neru and smiled. "Neru Onee-chan, do you have your cell phone on you? We should probably call in reservations for a really good room at the hotel I was wanting to take you both to~!"(( ?))

Lieselotte spoke and a smile seemed to grow upon the Circe’s face. “I guess there’s no other option then, huh?” She hummed, almost sarcastically as she briefly glanced at her friend, then her new magical partner as Etheldreda uttered a few words; questions. The witch took several more minutes, considering this. After all, she couldn’t necessarily declare Zenia to be a villain… She was troublesome, yes, but not to the point of having been declared evil. “…Let us consider her to be a hindrance,” She said to her partner as she managed a smile. “A fearsome warrior that seemingly has business with Lieselotte.” She tapped her chin. “Does that suffice?”
===
The Mayonaka lead the way, marching towards the sound of the chilly water. Already, the air around them seemed to cool slightly as if to foreshadow that the water would be far from warm when the time came to enter it. As it came into sight, Shuku gazed at the slowly moving river for several moments and within a moment she assumed that it was the one that Sakazuki had utilized the night before. She looked towards Mei and Katsu for a moment before she took a deep breath, removing her shirt, slowly, the two mounds giving a slight bounce once they were free of their prison. After all, without a bra to contain them, there were experiencing a foreign sort of freedom… Then again, with the intrusion from before, Shuku hadn’t the time to get much underwear on. Her pants followed the same trail of events before she looked towards Katsu, beckoning the child to her side as a parent would.
===
Alice looked away and Airi paused. The maid was curious still, but she wondered now if her inquiries had put the odd little girl into a cautious state. Taking a moment to ponder, she decided that until there was more evidence, there was likely no harm that would come from any more questions. “Do you have any siblings, Alice?” She added quietly to the relatively small pile of asked questions as she shifted slightly into her seat, dark stockings clashing together as her legs crossed in a casual manner.
===
Menace… Or rather, Melona, allowed the Imohtep’s dark skinned body to draw near. After all, if she had just switched bodies with someone, she would’ve done the same and peeked in for a closer look! Melona’s hungry acts went unnoticed for now. She heard the woman speak, and was about to pass it off as a mere snide remark about the situation, but as she repeated the words several times within her mind, she found her thoughts slowing to a steady stop. Make love to oneself…? Her eyes rose, evidently about to give the woman inhabiting her body a strange look, but that expression soon become one of surprise as she felt herself nearly bowled over, her squishy back meeting the floor with a somewhat wet noise as her own body descended upon her. Their lips met and realizing that it was better than resisting (after all, she had come to acknowledge her servant as a lover in one way or another) parted her lips as she closed her eyes. Was it just her that thought there was something wrong with this image?
===
Again, the girl seemed to charge and Echidna kept her stance. Honehime was not so stupid as to merely lunge forward in hopes that this time it would work, right? No… She was a bright girl. Certainly there was a ploy at work here. No matter, for the sake of curiosity, she would play along. With that, Honehime’s fist came forward and the Orochi was ready to dodge, but at that moment, something wet and goopy splashed onto her face. Sap. She gave a slight cry of surprise, but inwardly, seemed to hide her pride with the fact that the girl was learning. Despite her temporary blindness, her arms lashed out, hoping to at least repel the girl’s assault.
===
Neru looked up, seemingly realizing that Haku also craved such luxuries. Her attention however, was once again brought to the leek spinning girl as a brow rose. Her phone? Now wasn’t that a stupid question to ask? Akita Neru always had her phone on her. If a journey were to arrive, she was the type that would take greater measure to ensure that she took her cell with her before even packing food or any of the real necessities. She gave a nod, then pulled out the device, briefly checking if she had any new messages, but upon seeing none, handed the phone to Hatsune Miku.
===
“So be it.”
Despite her ability to dismiss that V-13 was in a considerable condition, Pan couldn’t help but have some manner of paranoia, or whatever the robotic equivalence of such a plague was. Perhaps her system had been flawed, or she had missed out on her last tune up? Such would certainly explain why she might’ve overlooked something… A newer upgrade might have been present and waiting in queue to be downloaded. With that, the officer soon set a hand to her own torso plate, removing it.
===
Shouko seemed more amused than concerned with Dizzy’s answer. Though she knew she should’ve been worried, it put her at ease that she would not be going on her journey alone, especially since they had yet to even draw near to the halfway mark of the tree. She too, plopped down upon a branch, sending several rattled leaves falling to the forest floor as she took several deep breaths. It was odd though, for Dizzy to have remained in this wood for so long and yet not know how to scale it. Soon, she voiced this humorous thought to her new friend.

Honehime let a faint smile come across her face as she saw her plan had seemingly succeeded, Echidna had gotten a face full of sap. She aborted her fist strike, pivoting on one foot to lash out with a spinning kick aimed for Echidna's midsection. Unfortunately, even blinded, Echidna was a seasoned fighter, and her instincts could help guide her actions in place of her sight. The end result being that Honehime's kick was blocked by Echidna's arm, their limbs colliding in what would normally be a very painful blow. Thanks to the sap coating them, it wasn't truly painful, just noticeably uncomfortable. Honehime winced slightly at that, and quickly pulled back, to try to get another attempt at an attack in before Echidna regained use of her sight. This was a window of opportunity that she could not afford to pass up. There was no doubt in her mind that Echidna would not fall for the same trick twice. (29630 words + 164 words = 29794 words) Lieselotte had went silent upon Etheldreda asking about who Zenia was. At first she wasn't sure if the newcomer could be trusted with the information. Then she remembered that just a few moments ago, this newcomer had been merged with Sakazuki. That alone was proof enough that she was definitely a part of their group, a part that Sakazuki trusted, and so should she. So she let the matter drop. She would trust Etheldreda, at least unless she did something to break that trust. She glanced up from their small group, and noticed the other three had elft camp. She frowned slightly, wondering where they had gotten off to. It seemed their group just could not stay together, could they? She was pretty sure that they weren't in any trouble, she hadn't noticed anything during her last check, so the three of them should be fine on their won, whatever they were doing. Maybe by the time they came back, the other missing member of their group might return. (25978 words + 172 words = 26150 words) If Katsu would have been more alert, she would have berated herself mercilessly. There Shuku was, stripping right next to her, and wasn't even openly ogling her! Nonetheless, she obediently moved to her side, and looked down at the water. Even if it was cold, it wouldn't be quite as much a shock to her as to the others, thanks to her wool. Of course, it would take her much, much longer to actually dry off afterward. Mei sleepily looked around, and when she saw Shuku taking off her clothes, she assumed that emant it was alright for her to do so too. Her clothes were removed almost as fast as it took to think it, and soon she was standing there buck naked, the cool air working it's particular magic along her curvaceous form. She shivered slightly, her arms moving to wrap around herself, lifting her bust at the same time. If the air was this chill, how much more so would the water be? (32672 words + 169 words = 32841 words) Zenia remained silent, even though a frown had crossed her face. They were talking about her, of that much she was sure. The more she watched, the more certain she was. She still didn't know exactly what they were talking about, but it was enough. How could Lieselotte betray the organization like that? All information on any of their organization's members was to remain strictly classified, telling so much as their name was a huge breach in protocol. She didn't know what, if anything else, Lieselotte had spoken about her, but it was already bad enough, she would have to prepare for the worst. this was one more check against Lieselotte, one more in a growing list that would determine whether she simply tried to bring Lieselotte back to the organization, or instead chose to only bring back her head. The organization dealt with turncoats harshly, she knew that much. If it wasn't her, someone else would be sent to take care of Lieselotte, and likely do an even more brutal method. (12460 words + 176 words = 12636 words) Melona, in the guise of Menace, smiled eagerly when Melona, no, Menace, started returning the same ardor that she was showering upon her partner. It felt odd. Not in a bad way. The sensation of having a real body and kissing a slime girl, rather than the other way around, was definitely a new one for her, and she liked it. Her hands started to roam across Melona's, no, Menace's body, exploring the curves that she had possessed just recently. Their bodies pressed together as she did so, as she leaned in to feel her partner's body against hers. She sighed softly, contentedly, not having realized before this moment how much she had been looking forward to a break like this. As their intimacy continued to heat up, Melona, no, Menace, began to roll around the floor a little, pulling her partner along with her for the ride. They didn't have a lot of room to play, there were numerous desks all around them. But even so, she wouldn't let that stop her from having her fun. (15188 words + 182 words = 15370 words) Alice shook her head in reply to Airi's question about siblings. "No, I don't." She paused then, as if considering something. Then she spoke again, amending her answer. "Well, not that I know of. I suppose Mother could have had another child while she was away." And it was true. The last time she had seen her parents was long enough ago that her mother could very well have gotten pregnant, and given birth before seeing her again. So it was certainly possible that she had a sibling or two somewhere out there in the world. She doubted it, though. After all, something as important as that, even her rather irresponsible parents would have made sure to tell her about. She hoped. She took another look around the kitchen and decided to change the subject. She wasn't that uncomfortable talking so openly about her family life, but it just felt a little weird. "So... How much longer does the soup need to cook?" (15542 words + 166 words = 15708 words) Haku stopped daydreaming about how nice a real bed would feel like when she heard her friends speaking once more. Redirecting her attention to them, she caught the tail end of their brief conversation, Miku asking to borrow Neru's phone. Neru complied, producing her ever-present cell phone. Haku had to think about it a moment, to figure out what Miku needed to use a phone for. She hadn't heard the first part of what Miku had said, but she was able to figure it out without too much trouble. After all, if they were on their way to a hotel, and Miku had one specific hotel in mind, then she would likely be calling to make sure there was a room available. If nothing else, to place a reservation for a room, even if it was somewhat short notice. This wasn't a very busy time of year for tourism or traveling, so most hotels wouldn't even be close to already full. With any luck, that would hold true for this hotel as well. (11043 words + 178 words = 11221 words) V-13 felt a greater sense of relief when Pan seemed to accept her statement upon her own condition. If she accepted it as such, then perhaps they wouldn't have to continue this intimate level of scanning. At some level, it was enjoyable, even if she wasn't truly conscious of the fact. The more pressing sensation was embarrassment. As much as it seemed illogical for an android to feel embarrassed, apparently she had found the way. She snapped out of her thoughts when her sensors noticed Pan moving again. Her eyes widened, the irises flaring out to take in a larger view, when she noticed Pan was seemingly trying to remove her own chest covering. A faint blush rose up in her cheeks again, and the visual feed was finding it's way to her permanent memory storage banks even without her sending it there. She wasn't even aware of the visual data being saved, merely that she just couldn't tear her gaze away from the sight before her. It shouldn't have been nearly as fascinating to her. Androids were all basically the same. Aside from differing programs and components, they all shared a sense of camaraderie and similarity that made them all feel similar, almost like they were related. If it was any other member of the platoon, or even her own squad, doing such an action, ti wouldn't have nearly such an effect upon her. Why, then, was she so entranced by Pan doing it? (13913 words + 253 words = 14166 words) Etheldreda pondered what she had been told. so this Zenia was only a hindrance? Not a true threat. So they probably wouldn't have to kill her when next they met. That was good, she wasn't too fond of needless killing. Oh, she had killed. Many times, in many ways. But killing someone too easily often led to trouble. She remembered one previous time, with a previous Master. She had had to fight to protect herself and her Master, and had lashed out and killed the attacker. As it turned out, their attacker was someone in a position of power, and they were forced out of the country they had resided in, with bounties on their heads. So yes, needless killing led to trouble, killing was something final, something that should only be done if it was truly necessary. She was no bleeding heart, most humans she didn't really care about. What she did care about was the trouble killing them could bring. (6683 words + 165 words = 6848 words) Dizzy blushed a little in embarrassment as she realized the truth in Shouko's words. Why had she never really learned to climb a tree? It seemed like something she should have known, but it had never really come up. Most of the days that she spent out here in the wild were spent within the glade. She would go to the river for water, and to a nearby berry bush for food. There had never seemed to be a real need to go up into the trees for anything. Sure, fruits and nuts grew in the taller parts of trees, but they also grew lower, within reach from the ground. So she had just never really needed to climb a tree, and thus never tried. Of course, now that she actually had to, she resolved to do it a little more regularly, if for no other reason than to not do such a pitiful job of it as she was this time. She probably wasn't doing much better than any ordinary person, let alone at the level of a ninja like Shouko's. (6840 words + 185 words = 7025 words)

The little green-haired girl smiled and bowwed her head lightly with a smile. "Thank you Neru Onee-chan~!" She accepted the phone ad thought for a brief moment before her fingers automatically dialed the number needed to reach the hotel. She held it to her ear and waited, hearing it ring twice before some one answered on the other side. "Hello?" "Hello? Is this the finest hotel near the academy?" "Why, yes, we pride ourselves to be. How may I help you ma'am?" Miku could tell that the man was slightly confused by the voice coming from his end of the line, obviously not used to hearing Miku talk. Oh well~! "My friends and I would like to make a reservation for your best suite for us to stay in, three beds please." She heard a light tapping as the man looked over some papes and could hear the smile before he replied. "Yes, we have that room available. When will you be arriving?" "Some time with in the next five to ten minutes~!" It was silent, but she heard the nervous smile that went with his tone. "Tonight? That's pretty soon... But do-able. We'll work on getting things cleaned up and prepared for you and your guests, though, you do realize that may cost extra..." Miku smiled and nodded. "It is alright. This is for my friends. Thank you~!" She hung up and handed the cell phone back to Neru, a triumphant smile on her face. Neru and Haku would probably be very happy with her for what she accomplished.(( ?))

 A heavy mist covers the School for Shinobi, also called the Ninja Academy. The Ninja Academy in the Hidden Mist Village, is always covered in mist, so no surprise there. A shadowy figure can be seen walking through the mist towards the school. As it get closer, it resembles a Teenage boy, Named Isoga Mizu. He strides towards the Academy, and has his face in a book. He sits there reading the book and mumbling to himself as he walks into the school. "To use a jutsu...one must manipulate there chakra to the focused area for the attack....." He keeps mumbling to himself and walks into a room with a pool in it. He finishes his book and lowers it and stuffs it into his back pack of some sort he has with him. He walks over to the water and puts his finger in it. "Cold.....what a surprise...." He takes his hand out and shakes the ice cold water off of his hand. "I should of known it would be cold...what else would it be." He then places his hands together and closes his eyes. Isogas chakra flusters and begins to race down towards his feet. Once he feels like he has enough, he takes his first step on the water. His first foot stays on it, then comes his next one. Isoga doesnt even have enough time to yelp, as he falls through the water and makes a splash. He crawls out and shakes his hands and legs. He then refocuses his chakra and walks onto the water. This time he slowly begins to sink, but sinking none the less. Before he gets knee deep, he starts to rise up. He smirks as the water rises from his knees, to his shins. It stays there and he trys to take a step forward. As he lifts his leg out of the water, he begins to sink again. He quickly puts his leg back into the water and rises up once again. He places his hand on his chin and begins to think. He has a idea. He crouches down and jumps out of the water. On his decent, he stops on top of the water. He grins, only to fall face first into the water and sink down. He jumps out screaming how cold the water is. He stands outside the pool as water drips off of his body and onto the floor below. He decides to train for another one of his moves to help him dry. He does hand signs with one hand and stomps his foot. The water rises off his body and turns into ice needles. He fires them down at the pool. As they hit, they turn back into water as they touch the bottom of the pool. He walks over to the pool and focuses his chakra to his feet. He then walks on the surface of the water and begins to take his steps towards the other side. He shakily walks towards the other side. His shoes start to get soaking wet as he reaches the halfway mark. He reaches the other side and turns around. His shoes, lower part of his pants, and feet are soaking wet. He shivers from the cold but is used to it. Isoga then jumps back onto the water, this time his shoes staying dry. He begins to make his way to the other side of the pool. As he gets to the other side, he walks over to his backpack and reaches into it. He pulls out a towel and begins to dry himself as he begins to leave the pool. (500+619=1119 Chakra. Water walking learned,)

 Ferraku walks out onto the academy grounds with a with Okuur a high ranking member of his clan following close behind him. He was surprised that someone of his rank agreed to train him in techniques that any chunin level ninja could of trained him in. He walks till he is in the center of the green grass of the academy than turns abruptly to face Okuur. "So what do I do first Okuur Sama?" Ferraku asks being flustered in confusion, considering he has never attempted to actually learn a ninja technique before. Okuur smirks letting out a small grunt like laugh. "Do you remember your seal formations?" Okuur asks the young Ferraku. Ferraku nods, at the same time he realizes they will actually serve a purpose to him for the first time. "Good, the seals for Henge No Jutsu, is ox horse rat, so try it out." Okuur says. Ferraku begins to mold chakra in his hands he then pictures the signs in his head, Ferraku has astoundingly good memory remembering seals is nothing to him. "Ox! Horse! Rat!" Ferraku says loudly as he does the signs, he closes his eyes and focuses his chakra. "Henge No Jutsu!" He shouts aloud. He pictures Isoga in his mind. A cloud of smoke poofs up from where he was standing and as the thick cloud of smoke, Isoga appears standing in it, well what appears to be Isoga. Ferraku turns to Isoga waving, "Onii San, look over here." Ferraku shouts as he waves in the form as Isoga, a big grin appears across his face with his hastily completion of the new technique. He does the sign of the tiger, "Kai!" He shouts and a cloud of smoke appears again and he emerges from it, as his normal self. "Well done kid, you mastered that quite quickly." Okuur says.

Isoga grins as he looks at who he suspects to be his Younger Brother in a Henge form. "Hah not bad...but im a hell of a lot better looking then a imperfect transformation." He laughs as he walks towards his brother. He look in front of him and notices a pond. He decides he should show off his new technique as well. He walks onto the water and walks across it towards his Younger Brother. He walks off of the water and looks down at his shoes. "Crap...my shoes still get wet....oh well its not that bad. Just better not walk in the house with mud, or mom will freak." Isoga chuckles to himself as he pats Ferrakus head. "If you need me for anything, ill be on the track or in the weight room. Later bro." He playfully punches Ferrakus cheek and walks off to the weight section of the school. (1119+164=1283 Chakra)

Ferraku looks to Okuur as he is prepared to learn his next technique. Okuur nods to him in acknowledgment. Ferraku is surprised by this, since Okuur is a hard a** with very high standards of shinobi, regardless of them being in the same clan. "So what is next Okuur Sama?" Ferraku asks wondering if he will learn a water jutsu next, completely unaware they r way out of his level. "Next is Kawarmi No Jutsu, the substitution technique, the hand signs for Kawarmi are monkey dog serpent." Okuur tells him seeing if his results will be as effective as last time. Ferraku takes stance and begins to mold chakra. He closes his eyes and pictures a log clearly in his mind. "Monkey! Dog! Serpent!." Ferraku shouts like before, he raises his chakra and his eyes spring open, his lips creep open. "Henge No Jutsu." He says much calmer than before, a thick cloud of smoke appears once more. A green log drops to the ground with the sound of a light hollow clunk. Ferraku emerges from behind a tree. He smiles widely as he sees his own successes. "Well done kid, but can you do it during combat it when it counts?" Okuur asks, he draws a kunai from his pouch and throws it intentionally slowly at Ferraku. "Monkey, Dog, Serpent." He says in his head, he then looks to the kunai. "KAWARMI NO JUTSU!" He shouts loudly and right as the kunai makes contact with his stomach, POOF! He turns to smoke, he then appears again on the branch of the same tree he was by before. "How was that Okuur Sama?" Ferraku asks with a cocky tone of voice. "Not bad kid, not bad at all. But don't let it go to your head your not strong yet." Okuur tells him insight fully. Ferraku nods taking Okuur's renowned wisdom very serious. He would heed this advice he was given, even though it would not be long before the one who told it to him forgets about ever saying it. (341/300 Substitution Learned) 808+341=1149
