Chapter 1: Hunting Strays
[Underground facility, Goertia Forest]
Goertia Forest, one of many landscapes that surrounded the underworld was an ancient forest where many mythical creatures resided in. For the past 6 months, the inhabitants of the forest have been restless, there were sightings of undead roaming the forest and rather recently there were reports of kidnapping from neighboring towns. Deep beneath the forest however was an underground facility. One owned by a man known as Estiel Bifronze, the Last of the Bifronze Family, and a loyal Devil of the Old Satans.
Estiel Bifronze had brown hair and emerald eyes, wearing a laboratory coat and black pants. Estiel walked confidently through the hallways of his safehouse. Accompanied by 2 other devils in metal armor.
'All is going as Rizevim-Sama predicted.' Estiel smiled, just like his master had told him, the New Satans never noticed his presence here, for the past six months he had not only taken the forest but he had been expanding towards the cities as well. Soon the day would come when the true rulers of the underworld would return to their rightful place. When these foolish rebels would pay for their treachery. Till then, however, he would do as his master had requested of him. He suddenly stopped before a large door placing his hand in front of him before a crest revealed itself brimming with power. Just like that the door slid open as the man arrived in front of a test-tube.
Inside this test-tube was a young girl with porcelain white hair, underneath her neck was a seal and her limbs were all bound by chains. Despite her 'peaceful' state, she was littered with scars and had a missing right arm. Sensing the all too familiar presence of the vile man who placed her here. She raised her head, showed a scar that ran across her left eye leaving only her right one intact. Opening her eye revealed it to be azure blue before she searched the room The moment it locked onto the Bifronze, however, they grew stormy and the water surrounding her began to boil slightly. Seeing this Estiel huffed in amusement before raising his hand once more, the markings on his hand glowed with power and the girl cried out in agony as pain flooded her body.
"Good morning, Yukihana Tsukiura," He greeted with false kindness as he picked up a tablet and mulled it over. "I see you have been adjusting to your changes quite well. If that is the case, we shall move on to the next phase shall we?" Yukihana flinched at that, suddenly the hatred and anger she had was replaced by fear. Fear of what the horrible devil had in stall for him. Walking over to the console in front of her, he pressed a few buttons on it, causing the fluids surrounding her change in color what was once blue turned dark red, the veins on her body changed in color as pain erupted from her once more.
"Now, now. You need not worry yourself Yuki-Hime..~" The last Bifronze spoke 'soothingly as he began to leave the room when the door opened he stopped to speak only a few more words. "Soon your day shall come to be the tool, which brought back order..."
Yukihana began to cry in despair, tears dripped down her non-damaged eye as she once more began to fall unconscious. For once in what had been a long time since her capture, she prayed, begging for salvation.
'Please... Someone... Anyone... Help me...'
[Goertia Forest, Underworld]
Walking through the lush greenery of Goertia Forest, Sirzechs pondered how he found himself in this awkward situation. Well awkward as in encounters uncommon in his life, dealing with Serafall's antics was on its entire league in his opinion. The one he had to deal with right now was aa different matter. Glancing behind him he found Grayfia dutifully following him and right beside her was none other than Kiyoshu Tachibana. In a maid outfit. Her eyes seemed to wander the forest in an unusual child-like manner. He couldn't tell if it was actual fascination or something else.
Grayfia elbowed him in the side causing him to grunt before turning his head, just before Kiyoshu looked at him with an eyebrow raised. The Maou gave his wife a small glare, said woman merely gave her husband a teasing smile. As they neared their destination, Sirzechs pondered on the Servant's introduction yesterday.
[Flashback, 1 day ago]
Sirzechs was, to say the least, nervous as he walked to Rias's room with Grayfia by his side. Having retired to his room with his wife last night, both had been resting when a massive amount of mana surged in the estate. Immediately Sirzechs had risen from his bed and was just about to bolt into his Ria-Tan's room when Grayfia had persuaded him otherwise. To think his sister would summon such a powerful familiar the raw power from the summoning had shattered his barrier. Then again he had placed a barrier only capable of masking the power of a High-Class Devil, whoever this was was on par with an Ultimate-Class in raw power.
Swallowing the lump in his throat he knocked on Rias's door lightly before waiting a few moments. Not long after the door opened to reveal Rias this time she wore a black shirt with a red rose design on the side of the shirt and a short skirt.
"Ah, Nii-Chan! Gray-Chan! Good morning!" Rias greeted gleefully. Grayfia simply gave a smile to the Heiress, which Rias's noticed before her smile grew wider. There were times when her sister-in-law didn't speak but she didn't need words to communicate. Often her mere expressions whilst sometimes subtle told everything people needed to know of her mood. Except for anger, anger was rather obvious when the entire room begins to turn into a frigid wasteland.
"Morning Ria-Tan! How are you feeling?~" Sirzechs replied in a delighted tone.
"I'm feeling better Nii-Chan! I was just watching the new series you bought for me with Koneko and Akeno!" The Gremory heiress responded ecstatically just as said Fallen Angel and Nekoshou made their presence known.
"Rias-Chan? Who's at the door?" Akeno asked as she turned her head back only to receive her answer.
"Most likely, Sirzechs-Sama" Koneko blankly answered her Queen's question, without turning her head all too busy watching the show. Rias opened the door fully revealing the presence of both reincarnated Devils. Sirzechs smiled when he noticed the Nekoshou watching the anime. It appears that Rias-Tan's hobby has infected her peerage as well.
"Good morning to you both Akeno-Chan, Koneko-Chan." Sirzechs greeted the both of them to which Koneko simply gave a one-handed salute without turning away from the screen. Akeno however bowed her head before replying.
"Good morning to you as well Sirzechs-Sama, Grayfia-Sama." Akeno then lifted her head before continuing with a knowing smile. "Am I correct in assuming you came to find the 'Servant' as well? Lucifer-Sama?"
Curious as to how the reincarnated Fallen Angel found that out, said Satan turned his head towards his younger sister only for the redhead to whistle innocently as she began to look anywhere around the room but at him. Sighing Sirzechs patted Rias's head before answering her question.
"Well, I suppose you're not wrong Akeno-Chan," Sirzechs admitted no use denying it after all. " with that being said where IS your Servant Ria-Tan?"
Shuffling slightly Rias remained silent for a moment. Not long after she opened her mouth to answer only for another voice to interrupt.
"Goshujin-Sama, I have returned."
Glancing back to the entrance of the room Sirzechs and Grayfia found a woman with black hair and crimson eyes standing at the doorway wearing a maid outfit. In her hand was a tray with 3 plates of pancakes with maple syrup, bacon, and eggs. Grayfia narrowed her eyes at the maid, suspicion clear as day. There had been no new additions to the staff as of late, so whoever this was was either an enemy or the Servant they were looking for.
"Ah, Kiyo-Chan! Just on time!" Rias exclaimed having suddenly gained confidence with the presence of the woman. "Nii-San, Gray-Chan, allow me to introduce you to my servant!"
The woman then bowed her head stepping back and lifting the hem of her skirt slightly. "Greetings, Grayfia-Sama, Maou-Sama. I am Kiyoshu Tachibana, the Avenger summoned by Goshujin-Sama," With that her head rose, eyes opening as they seemed to glint with power.
[Flashback End]
[Goertia Forest]
Sirzechs shivered at the memory of the woman, despite the neutral demeanor the Avenger often showed, the sheer power rolling off her made him wary. Along with chaos found within her eyes, it made him worried beyond belief. He supposed he was glad when Kiyoshu had stated that 'having been the family of her master, she would also obey their orders to a degree, Rias's commands would always be held above theirs'. Nonetheless, the reason for their current expedition to the Goertia Forest was simple.
"You have not told me why we have come here Maou-Sama," Kiyoshu questioned the satan with an ever so stoic expression.
"Well, today we are putting your abilities to the test, I have heard of a disturbance in this area, supposedly there is an increased amount of kidnapping from the neighboring villages all related to this forest," Sirzechs answered simply as he suddenly stopped walking, he turned to face the Servant before raising his hand, out of his hand a floating eyeball-like creature spawned out of flames. "This is a-"
"Gazer." Kiyoshu finished before him, Sirzechs blinked at that, surprised at her knowledge. Seeing the surprise on his face she then continued. "It is not my first encounter with their kind, though admittedly this one is much smaller and weaker than I am used to. With that, the Gazer left the hand of the Satan before it floated over to Kiyoshu and began to fade from sight, surprising the Servant.
'A Beholder.' Sirzechs corrected in his mind, that was the correct term for the much larger of their species.
"Gazers are practically undetectable creatures, able to become invisible with the most minimal use of magic. Along with how 'weak' they are, only those who are sensors can find them," Sirzechs explained to her. Kiyoshu raised an eyebrow at this
"Do all Devils have these?" She questioned.
"Unsurprisingly? no. Most devils search for more powerful familiars to represent themselves, not utility. Very few see the value in them." Sirzech explained to her. 'not that many were able to get one regardless'. Where there were Gazers there were Beholders and the difference between them was that a Beholder, had a dramatically larger amount of power and intellect. Enough that Zatouji warned everyone of their danger. Anyone foolish enough to approach a Beholder, unprepared, was turned into ashes mere moments later. "That being said this little fellow will be recording your progress."
"Recording me? For what reason would you need such a thing?" Kiyoshu pressed on, alarmed that someone would be recording her capabilities. Family of her master, or not, as a Servant, her capabilities were meant to be kept secret for a reason. Knowledge was power after all. Stepping forward Grayfia intervened and answered her questions.
"Despite our efforts to keep you a secret it appears that 'we' (Grayfia delivered that part as she glared at her King to which Sirzechs whistled innocently) underestimated your capabilities. The amount of mana you had released upon your summoning has no doubt alerted the council members and unfortunately, we have no doubts that they will be demanding answers from us."
The Avenger scoffed at this "Tch, politics... Ever the nuisance, even in my time... and they will not question my origins?"
"No, so long as you are proclaimed a 'Servant of the Gremory' they cannot interfere. Whom we hire does not concern them." Grayfia proceeded to inform her. "That being said they will still demand to see your abilities given the rather high Mana levels you have and to ensure no further probing from them, this will serve as proof of your skills and power."
After taking a moment to process this Kiyoshu nodded her head. It was, logical she supposed. She disapproved of the fact her abilities were being revealed to this council, but if their demands were left unanswered then it would only raise more concern over her existence. She'd rather minimalize her presence as much as possible. "Very well, thank you for answering my questions. Grayfia-Sama, Maou-Sama. With that being dealt with what is my mission, Maou-Sama."
"For the past six months, we have received word of trouble from the neighboring villages concerning this forest. Many living near the edges of the forest report that the creatures in the forest have become restless, there have been attacks along the roads going through and around the forest, and as of late there have been recent reports of kidnappings." Sirzechs then gestured for the woman to continue walking, to which she did. Not long after she encountered a Magical Barrier in front of them. "With that being said, we have not had much time to deal with this situation so it shall fall onto you. You have but a simple task."
Placing her hand on the barrier she pushed through before walking forward. The last thing she hear when she entered were two words.
"Hunt Strays."
[Inside the Magic Barrier, Goertia Forest]
As soon as the Tachibana walked through the barrier, she had donned her armor. Kiyoshu knew she had entered enemy territory and no doubt tripped the 'alarm'. As if to prove her right a group of skeletons began to rise from the earth weapons in hand and prepared to kill the intruder. Some skeletons seemed to wear the remains of armor pieces and others were in full metal plates, but most seemed to be bare of such protection.
'It appears whoever set this barrier severely underestimates me..' Kiyoshu mused as she drew her sword. Not a moment later the skeletons began to charge forward. Effortlessly, she cuts down one of them who was holding a spear. A skeleton wearing iron pauldrons and equipped with a shield and sword made to slash at the servant, aiming for her unprotected left shoulder but is blocked by Kiyoshu's katana and kicked into literal pieces. Using this momentum she spun and cut off the leg of a skeleton and proceeded to slice its skull in half.
Another skeleton armed with a shield and spear rushed forward and made to impale her with its weapon yet failed to as Kiyoshu simply stepped to the side and grabbed the weapon. Seeing the Avenger raise her leg, it responded by raising its shield however it was a futile effort as the shield caved in and the bones shattered into fragments.
Hearing the clacking of bones behind her, Kiyoshu dodges an incoming strike to her midsection by jumping. Extending her foot out she used the offending undead as a footstool before jumping, making it shatter given its lack of durability (Or her strength). High in the air, she struck two other skeletons as she passed them before landing. Raising her head she sees two other skeletons one with what seems to be a halberd and the other a katana of its own. The halberd wielding skeleton charged her and swung with the bladed piece of its weapon which she batted to the side before taking a single step forward, channeling mana into her blade before striking it once this single attack completely disintegrated the undead creatures existence and when the katana-wielding skeleton swung at her head in the aims of beheading her, Kiyoshu ducked under the blade and grabbed it by the skull before smashing it into the ground leaving a large crater and crushed bones.
Sensing no further threat she had almost sheathed her blade when she noticed the skeletons around her beginning to rebuild themselves, cracked bones and shattered skulls suddenly repairing themselves and leaving them in their original state. Not only this but the number of skeletons began to increase rapidly till she stood in the middle of an army. Rising from the underground depths were all types of creatures from Lizardmen to minotaurs to even manticores. However, each showed signs of decay. rotting flesh exposed bones and even missing limbs.
'Perhaps I was wrong...' The Avenger mused as a large undead orc rose from behind her, it's size towering over her very easily. It heaved heavily as it approached her raising its arm with a steel club wrestled tightly in its grip. In a sudden move from Kiyoshu, it's intimidating presence completely disappeared when she mindlessly lifted her right arm, her rifle materializing in her hand and she emptied a mana charged bullet in the creatures head.
"Incinerate it, Asami!" The creature suddenly combusted in blue flames and began to burn away it cried out in agony before collapsing onto the ground, leaving no remains.
"Let us see what else you have to entertain me.."
[Underground Facility, Goertia Forest]
Deep within the underground, Estiel frowned as he viewed the fight with his tablet he frowned as he saw the giant Orc got completely disintegrated from a single hit. "It appears we have an Intruder," He watched on the tablet as the intruder shot a lizardman who immediately disintegrated a moment after. Before stabbing her sword into the head of a Minotaur. She then steps back from the snakehead of one of the Manticores before running up it and Bisecting the beast before it bursts into purple flames. "How troubling... At this rate, she will be making her way through the facility."
He did not believe this, perhaps the Maous have caught on after all If that's the case he needed to be quick. Lifting his head he then called out in a commanding tone.
"Captain!" Not a moment after an armored Devil ran over to him. "Prepare the circle, we shall be leaving as soon as the experiment is complete! Rivezim-Sama had entrusted me with this project and I will not fail him!"
"Yes, Bifronze-Sama!" The Devil declared, bowing to him before making his way out of the facility. Estiel then walked towards the console in front of him and continued his work.
Yukihana who was still in pain gazed at the tablet watching as the woman tore through the facilities entrance before rushing in, almost effortlessly crushing her opposition. She could only hope the woman would save her when she made it here. Unknowingly pulsing her chakra out to the Avenger. To the surprise of both of them, the door to the room flew open with two other devils along with it. Walking out of the door was Kiyoshu Tachibana. Held in her hands was the matchlock rifle and a skull from one of the undead.
"Y-You how did you?! You were just at the entrance! That is impossible! This is the lowest level of the facility!" Estiel cried out in outrage.
"That is for me to know and you to never find out.~" Kiyoshu answered teasingly. 'Thank you, Rakusho.'
"I had known something was wrong the moment I entered this barrier. Your little trick is... amusing but it only took a few moments to discern it." She spoke almost amusedly to Estiel who gulped at this. "So long as the undead are within this barrier they will continuously regenerate from their remains. A dangerous thing indeed, any other being would've dropped their guard at the sight of these pathetic skeletons only to be slaughtered by them when they least suspect it. And with the aid of those other thralls you have, even the most prepared people would have found trouble."
With that, the amused tone in her voice disappeared as she raised the skull to him. "However, your strategy has a major flaw, so long as the person can destroy their remains." The skull then bursts into blue flames in her hands leaving nothing. "Nothing will return."
Estiel frowned at this. His monsters were gone decimated not a single one left, and though his guards outnumbered her 10 to 1, it was clear that she would wipe them off the face of existence easily. Thinking for a moment Estiel smirked wickedly as he realized something.
"I see, it appears we do need to change our strategy..." Estiel smirked wickedly. Raising his hand as once more his crest blaring to life. "However it is foolish to underestimate me!" just like that Yukihana began screaming as once more pain erupted in her body.
The Avenger tsked at this slightly lowering her weapon while glaring heatedly at the man.
"What do you want..?" She growled out having realized the situation.
"I shall make this...simple, you will let us leave else the girl dies." Estiel bargained, hoping she would fall for it. When her weapon dematerialized from her hand. The man's smirk grew larger. At least, until Kiyoshu herself began to grin.
"I have a different proposal! Your death!" She announced before gunshots suddenly went off all around them, the guards surrounding them all dropped onto the floor dead. Estiel coughed out blood as he clutched at a hole that went right through his heart. He felt his body grow weaker, his vision began failing him.
"H-how..?" He questioned with his final breath before another gunshot went off. When he fell to the floor it revealed multiple matchlock rifles floating behind him and the ten other guards. Not a moment later they dematerialized before Kiyoshu sliced the tube open freeing the white-haired girl from her prison.
'Still unconscious, I'll need to take my leave.' Kiyoshu frowned before she made her way out of the facility.
[Gremory Estate, Underworld]
"I see so that is what happened." Zeoticus mulled over watching the recording of the events on the balcony with his wife and son. Grayfia serving them dutifully as she places down cups of tea for each person. He turned his head to the raven-haired 'maid' who was currently playing with his daughter and her peerage all with a soft smile. It was alarming that a member of the Old Satan Faction made it past them without their notice. The sheer depths of his hideout made him worry. Had the Avenger not found this base the cities would've been vulnerable to an attack, one which they would never have been prepared for. "Estiel Bifronze, the former Heir of the Bifronze family correct?"
"Yes, at least till he was found guilty of association with the Old Satan's. He was on Death row when he suddenly vanished from his cell without a trace years ago. To think the man had the balls to come back." Sirzechs nodded his head. "I've already informed the other Maou's about it, Ajuka is already there with his peerage investigating the facility along with local enforcement, the reports we received on the first few floors are horrid enough. The man seemed to be using the kidnapped victims as experiments, mutating, or attaching other body pieces as he seemed fit. I can only imagine what the other 20 floors hold."
"Speaking of, Miss Tachibana was carrying a young girl back from what the observer recorded... Is it safe to assume that is the girl she placed in the infirmary?" The Gremory Patriarch prodded getting a nod from his son. "Yes, Yukihana Tsukiura a member of the Tsukiura Clan of Yuki-Onna's. Three years ago the clan was wiped out without a trace and no survivors were found. The compound had signs of Devil magic and Yasaka had all but blown the casket at us." Sirzechs grimaced, it had been very difficult to calm the Kyuubi no Jingoku (Nine Tails of Hell) that was Yasaka Maruyama and explain to her that they had no involvement with the massacre. Even so, the relationship between the two factions became strained. "I shall be informing Yasaka of this incident as soon as I can. She deserves to know."
On that Zeoticus agreed.
"I personally believe that Kiyo-Chan has more than proven herself, don't you agree Grayfia-Chan?~" Venelana added on as she sipped her tea, a notion which was seconded by the maid. "Hai, Venelana-Sama. I believe she has."
Down below Kiyoshu had been listening to the conversation between the devils on the balcony as she sat down to watch the children play. It appeared they were speaking of her. No matter, so long as she served her master she had no complaints. She was shaken from her thoughts when the white-haired girl known as Koneko pulled on her hand. Eyebrow raised she knelt down before the young Yokai.
"Yes? Koneko-Sama?" She questioned. The girl piqued her interest, from what she could tell the child was a Nekomata of some kind. Yet different, the chakra she sensed in her seemed different in some way. Unconsciously drawing in Natural energy.
"You smell of Nekomata... Why is that..?" Koneko narrowed her eyes for a moment. Akeno and Rias took note of this and made walked over curious as to why their Rook was tense.
"Do you now?" Kiyoshu mused a spark of intrigue lit in her eyes before she chuckled slightly. "Of course you would. It would only make sense you could sense her, after all, she can sense you as well."
"Her?" Koneko tensed, Kiyoshu sensed the build-up of pressure in her limbs. Energy gathering and prepared to attack her at a moments notice. She was not the only one who noticed, not only did the other Gremory members on the balcony notice but her Master and Queen quickly began to try and calm the girl to no effect, unfortunately. Hoping to ease the tension slightly Kiyoshu knelt onto the floor and beckoned for Koneko to approach her, holding her hands out as a sign of peace. After determining there would be no harm Koneko approached her and knelt as well. Not a moment later Tachibana placed her hand on the floor.
"Make yourself known, Asami!"
The three girls were surprised when a small blue flame bursts onto the ground, slowly the flames took the form of a small cat with gold eyes. It smirked mischievously at the young Nekoshou before introducing itself.
"Afternoon, little kittens~ I am Asami the Hellcat!" The Bakeneko purred before looking at the red-haired heiress. "Oh~ You're Kiyo-Chan's Master right?" Blinking in surprise Rias recomposed herself immediately.
"Y-yes! I am Rias Gremory, it's a pleasure to meet you Asami-San." Rias greeted the Bakeneko.
"The pleasure is mine Rias-Sama. No wonder Kiyo-Chan is so faithful! She always had a soft spot for children~" Asami teased her contractor, who blushed slightly in response. "Now I believe Koneko-Chan needed something?"
"Y-You smell of a Nekomata, but you aren't..?" Koneko stumbled confused at the mixed information. Though she had the scent of a Nekomata her appearance was that of a Bakeneko which didn't fit with what she could smell.
"Ah, that's easy to explain. Though I am here before you right now, Koneko-Chan, I cannot reveal my true self." Asami began explaining "Without being properly summoned by Kiyo-Chan the power I have can only form this Bakeneko you see before you. Now that I think about it, I haven't been in this form all that often since I became a Nekomata it's not so bad~" Asami's playful tone died out however as she stared at the gate entrance of Gremory Estate. Kiyoshu quickly followed her gaze and the smile on her face suddenly dropped.
"Asami-San? Kiyo-San?" Akeno asked seeing the Guardian Spirit and her contractor suddenly change in attitude. "Are you alright?" Looking in the same way, they found a Devil standing at the gates. He was a man that seemed to be in his late 30's he wore a tanned suit and had olive green hair with orchid eyes. Two red serpent fang markings were on each cheek.
"I'm fine Akeno-Chan, Sadly I'll have to cut our time short, however," Asami replied. "It seems you have a guest, Kiyo-Chan do summon us more often, will you? We need to stretch our legs, after all, ~" with that the Bakeneko burst into flames before the flame died out leaving nothing left.
"It appears that the council arrived sooner than we expected," Zeoticus stated. Sirzechs stared at the man at the gates before looking down at the Servant who was ushering the children into the Estate.
"Yes, I guess we should."
[END]
Up Next:
Tension rose in the room as silence overwhelmed the residents of the room, none knew of what would come but they didn't expect was chuckling. It was mirthless and held nothing but bitterness in its tone.
" For you to bear her name and show great resemblance in appearance...It seems the Gods truly have cursed me for forsaking them." She mused before the smile on her face was wiped off completely replaced with a spiteful glare, the frown on her face hid the grinding of her teeth. Gone was the false cheerfulness in her tone, in its place was burning rage, as her eyes seemed to glimmer in power.
"Forgive me, for this is the height of selfishness. I know you are of a different world, a being I shouldn't fault, perhaps you had reason in killing my lord, perhaps in this world, he did not stay true to his dream..." She murmured somberly before flicking her shoulder cap back as she trusted her hand out. "However nonetheless I cannot forgive you! I see only see one way we will EVER get along in the future!"
"I, Kiyoshu Tachibana! Captain of the Oda-Bakufu challenge you!" The Avenger declared as she unsheathed her blade and pointed it towards a man. Said man had platinum blond hair and pale skin he had eyes of silver-gold. The man was draped in a blue kimono and black hakama with his weapon strapped to his hip, he wore a very familiar coat of pale blue-green color and white triangle designs. The coat of the Shinsengumi. "Okita Soji! Manslayer and Vice-Captain of the Shinsengumi!"
Guardian Spirit Archive:
Rakusho - a Moon Hare (Gyokuto), capable of lightning speed, Rakusho was one of the first Guardian Spirits Kiyoshu contracted. Kiyoshu came across Rakusho injured one day and left on the roads. After being cared for and treated by the last Tachibana heiress, it formed a contract with the woman and has accompanied her throughout her life.
Asami - A Nekomata, able to wield Hellfire. It can burn almost anything and leave no traces. Asami was once a Bakeneko with no name who took interest in Kiyoshu after finding her in the remains of her clan's massacre. It had followed the young girl around during her youth. Soon enough the girl noticed the young Bakeneko following her and named it Asami. With that, it contracted itself to her and never left her side. Able to use Chakra and Senjutsu.
