He had gotten back from the hospital with a look of death in his eyes far more brooding then they had ever seen before. The change was one he did not expect as he headed home he entered the house as Shippo was out on squad duties his mother came to him and realized something was off, even Tobourne knew as the feelings that were showing seemed far different to what she was used to. However his scent was still there, but there was something else as well as he looked really sad as the tears were flowing down his cheeks as she wanted to hug him, but he evaded her as he dashed towards his room and shut the door.

He did not know what was happening, he did not understand what it all meant. He did not know if he still belonged, as his feelings made him write a note to his mother and his family before going out to learn what it was that pained him so as his head was hurting a lot.

Dear family

If you are reading this please do not worry about me
I have something I have to do on my own
Even though I am weak, you call me strong
Lost as i seek, to make right what I feel is wrong

I know you may not understand, I know I am being a selfish little boy
Even if you accept me, I need to accept myself
Even if you help me, I must help myself
Even if you love me, I must love me too
I love you and you love me
I want that to be true, so when i come back will you still love me

Will you still accept me, when I am no longer me?
will you still be there, when I am no where?
will you love me, when I am lost in hate?
will you look for me, if I am out too late?

My name is not Jamie, I do not know who I am anymore
Someone called me Miku, but I do not really understand it anymore
Who am I, I need to find out myself
So please be here for me when I get back

(374)

The boy got up on the window sill looking out to the forest as he looked back at his warm bed then decided he had to go as he packed his backpack with all his gear as well as the last meal his mom made for him. He jumped out the window silently and ran softly and silently as fast as he could, he knew they would be careless right now. He could not turn back or stop for even a moment as he felt like it was calling to him, the strong force of nature that seeped deep inside the pores and fibers of his very being.

He felt like he was leaving the world behind, he ran to the river where he first met Airi as he began to think of her. However he remembered meeting scar the sarutobi monster known as Mitsuo. He thought back to Arashi who was more then just himself, he was she and she was he as his mind could never understand them. He enjoyed how he met Shippo and Tsume who like a pair of young dogs always seemed to fool around. Ashi and his dad who seemed to love him, more so his mom then anyone else as she spoiled him with hair ruffles, hugs and delicious food.

The Hyuga with the beautiful weird eyes and the guy who did not want to say anything as he ate like nothing mattered. He remembered running from Megami as he thought back to that day as well. He was not running from his shame, he was not running from embarrassment, he was running from himself, he was running from who he was, who he is and the person he will always be. He remembered the hokage who inspired him to be more then he was, the stranger who had taught him about the strange and his squad sensei. He met so many people and made so many friends as he began to hurt deep down inside he felt a pain in his heart. He was not sure if it was in his mind as the headaches were getting even stronger.

(357)
[731]

He was going deeper inside the forest as he was losing his senses as his mind hurt even more then before. He stumbled as he felt a sharp pain in his heart as he rolled and tumbled around like he was in some kind of washing machine that whirls around like a rotating watery vortex. He hit into branches and had some how gone down hill as he tried to grab hold of something as he lost his grip he wanted to use his supernatural walking practice, but for some reason his chakra had gone chaotic as he slid to the edge of the cliff reaching out and grabbing with just a single hand, barely holding on as his feet swayed while his legs dangled around as he struggled to keep his grip as he could not get his other arm up as he found it hard to move at all.

He kept hearing a voice calling out to him. Then all of a sudden his heart began to race as his mind was struggling to maintain his consciousness as his one finger slipped as he only had four fingers left on the edge of the cliff, he was not sure how high up or how low he was as his senses were not working right. It seemed he was not wrong in this feeling he felt as his second finger gave way as well, his three fingers could barely hang on as he was then down to two before simply falling.

For the second time in his life he felt his life flashing before his eyes as he then remembered something as his chakra had lost control as sounds became loud. His sense of smell was going off and it felt like his body was not his own anymore as he began to remember something he had not known before. He heard a voice calling out to him as he was falling as the world felt like it was moving slowly as the words he heard then were more like a name.

"Miku"

(344)
[1075]

He could not even summon his voice to cry out as he fell he wanted to brace himself for impact, but his body simply would not move the way he wanted it to. Falling with his arms spread out as they pulled in front of him and faced towards the sky as he fell, in the distance there were those watching as they began to gather towards his location. Were they friends or enemies, did he even know they were there as he just felt pain in his ears as the sound resounded with an impounded blast of noise and static as he was crying.

He did not want to fall and he did not want to lose his life as he mustered up all his strength to turn his head and then wiggling about he spun in a spiral as he noticed a tree branch as he cried out.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As he reached out his hands and grabbed hold of the branch as it cracked upon him grabbing hold, he could not catch his breathe for long as the branch began to break off from the rock it was protruding from as it broke off he crashed into a tree, hitting branch after branch as he felt the pain as it hit his back, his shoulder and his ribs as he partially lost consciousness during his fall.

(228)
[1303]

He rolled onto his side in pain as the air around him felt so much different then before, he felt as if the nature around him was touching him directly at first. He could not keep up with these mad senses that were now striking him as if the world was trying to take him out. He held onto his stomach as he began to crawl around not sure where he had ended up, somewhere along the line he had stepped in water as well as he could not quite figure out when it was as he tried to get up.

Meanwhile there were some who were searching for him, not knowing how far he had went or where he had ended up as he knew he had to get to the hospital to find out what was going on with him. With one hand pressing on the ground to lift himself up and the other holding his ribs that were in pain. He picked himself up once more as he was shaky getting up to his feet, he felt different though as he felt his ears twitching but took little not of it as he staggered in whatever direction was before him as his eyes were glazed over and blurry as small paw prints were following him. For some reason his feet did not feel like they normally did as he walked he noticed half of his top had gotten torn as he wondered what to do as he realized his back pack was missing. He would have to go look for it soon as he tried to turn around falling to his side as he reached out his free hand and got hold of a nearby tree for support as he breathed heavily.

The panting he was giving out as he did not understand why he felt so heavy, it was as if he had a chakra over load and several big leaf burgers as he found his backpack further on as he just fell on his knees as he used his one arm to check that everything was there. He decided he would have to manage to equip everything in order not to lose any of it. He carefully got his tanto over his shoulder as his ribs hurt so bad when he lifted up his arm to get it on. He then tried to put on his forehead protector over his forehead, but something was stopping him as it seemed to keep hitting his ears for some reason. Feeling a bit annoyed he just put it around his neck as the sharp pains to his ribs were hurting him so bad as he finally put his one arm back there for support again.

He got his gear ready as he tied his kunai with chain to his left arm since his right one was less then functional as he noticed that something might be fractured in his right arm as well. The endorphin's effect could not be denied not that he really understood how they worked at all. He was at a point where he had to endure and had to make his way to the hospital, but at the same time he was being drawn away as he was not sure. His instincts told him he had something left to do, something that had to be done and could not wait any longer as he took a deep painful breathe and said.

"What is going on?"

(582)
[1885]

Crawling on the ground as the wind began to blow, he felt the air and he felt the chakra in the air as he did not understand any of this as it made no sense. He began seeing colors he had not seen before, as the green leaves that simply looked green and alike, now had many contrasts and variations.

There was the green one only found in apples, as he had never noticed it being so bright before as he began to imagine the leaves as apples themselves. There was the green one found in asparagus that he disliked simply on taste alone, even though Ashi was just trying to give him a healthy diet as he moved away from that direction as if the colors were guiding him. The green of avacado's as he felt hungry moving closer it was an avacado pear tree as he reached out grabbing it with his hand as he fell to one knee again. It hurt, but he was hungry as he took bite after delicious bite as the brightness of the lighter and brighter greens were filling his sight. He felt like he was in the world of green as this was the forest and trees were all around him and everywhere, it was like the rise of the Senju as he was not sure what was going on as his mind was starting to imagine things again.

He noticed the dark green of moss and the strangely blackening green of dark olives as he struggled to get up, he began seeing emeralds in the sky as the leaves were starting to lose their shape and form as he felt dizzy. He noticed a lime green and attempted to dash for it, but stopped immediately as the pain in his ribs got more intense then he could have ever imagined.

He remembered reading the stories of legends who never died, when the world was screaming out their names. He began to hear a name shouting and resounding in his ears like it was clear as day. His heartbeat was so loud it was deafening as he could not make out what was going on as he felt like he was in a lucid dream. He can hear someone calling out to him as he walks on as he feels like everyone around him has become a part of him as the nature was all one as he was not sure what was going on through his head. He could smell smoke and flames as he realized the small portion of the forest he was in had caught on fire as he began to run a bit as he coughed blood while holding his ribs, he may have suffered some eternal wounds as the scars he had collected in all his training were now resurfacing to say the least. He just kept hearing his name, he kept seeing the colors of the world so bright and all he could do was smell the strange smells, hear the strange sounds as his mind could not keep up with the sensory overload as he seemed to be more balanced now as he finally saw a river as he felt thirsty he just fell forward and began drinking the water as his body was in pain he gave up on that and just shoved his face into the river.

Drinking from it directly as his hair got knocked around in a messy state as he guzzled down the waters to refresh himself and then noticed that his ears were not where they were suppose to be as he blinked a few times he could not tell clearly as he looked to the water and what he saw made his eyes glisten as he could not believe what he saw.

(635)
[2520]

As he looked into the rushing waters he had seen something strange, he did not see himself as he looked and had seen someone he never knew as he took in a deep breathe. His ears were twitching from the madness of what he saw, the furry red triangles pointing from the top of his head as the sounds he was hearing were not coming from where he usually knew them to be as he began blink a few times. He tried to move his ears as they seemed to obey as he then felt them randomly twitch every time he heard a sound, from the rushing water that sounded like a water fall crashing down upon his head. He could hear the loud beats of his aching heart and even the animals that were gathering like before.

Back then did the girl of white know that this is what she had brought about, that this was what she had awakened in him as he thought it was just a dream. The images that seemed to spring to his mind of many kittens running in a field with a few small boys with cat-like ears, or as he began to realize were simply larger cat ears that were not a simile, but a direct metaphor. He was not simply a boy anymore as he began to wonder would the Inazuka clan who did not accept the weak, be able to accept a cat in a dog's world.

How on earth had this come to be as he held his chest with his left hand as his heart was aching more as his chakra system was going into chaos, his right arm still bearing the pain of his ribs as he felt another pain in his back as well as he could not understand any of it. His feet felt different, but he did not have time to check this as he heard a loud ringing sound as he thought he heard the name Jamie, but on the other end he also heard the name Miku. He did not understand what was going on as his mind was drifting deeper into the madness that was his world. What could be worse as the heat he felt and the pain that seemed to echo through his entire body, like his blood was flowing through empty caverns that were collapsing and cutting off the flow as he heard a sound that he knew straight away. The wolves had found him, a pack of hungry wolves at this time was dangerous, he would have to push out of this, he would have to survive as they charged he jumped to the deepest part of the river and then let his body go with the current as the wolves gave up on their prey, or at the very least refused to enter the water themselves as they followed him down the river as he wondered where it all went wrong. He tried to swim like normal but noticed that not only did he feel heavier then usual, he also felt something else resounding in his heart as he made his way towards the end, he heard a sound that seemed like a thousand birds chirping in the rain as he fell down the falls.

(551)
[3071]

The rushing madness of the falling waters as the water falls down the waterfall with the boy who felt part cat, part boy, part confused and completely lost as he tried to avoid the rocks near the bottom he focused whatever chakra he could all in the direction of his lungs deep inside his chest, he was falling to his death if he did nothing as he blew air out with a massive breathe using the nagare jutsu to push away from his intended direction as he crashed into a deeper body of water with a large impact as he felt the rush of water seeping into his wounds as he wanted to scream out, but held it in as he made his way to the surface paddling his feet as fast as he could.

His arms were in pain, his body was in pain and his ears were not to the sides of his face, but near the top of his head as he felt the water pushing into them it hurt as well as he could hear the sounds of the water. He started bubbling as he was swimming as fast as he could the surface of the water so close, but at the same time still so far. He was not sure why, but a part of him felt like he would not be able to make it as he stretched out his hands reaching upwards he used his only lifeline as he performed his technique to break through as he willed it with all his strength he had as he began losing his consciousness only thinking of getting out and his technique as the water burst forth as he flew out of the water like a missile as he splashed on the water again having only gotten a bit of air in his lungs as he was struggling again as he was spiraling back under the water he could not give up here as he felt the pain in his back as he kept swimming as he had to hold his breathe once again with his body going crazy.

Stream and Breakthrough Jutsu
125/150 chakra

Crashing against rocks as he could not see and barely could hear anything as he just kept forcing his way to the surface. Normally this would be easy, but it was nothing like before as he made it to the edge of the lake he wondered if he had branched off from whatever river he had found as he crawled out he rolled onto his back and just lay there day dreaming. His body remained still as his chakra began to return to him for some reason as he did not quite understand what was going on as the process was really slow. None of it made any sense to him as he was just breathing and panting heavily as his body was trying to recover as he simply did not understand the pain he felt on his back as he decided he had to find his way back soon as he turned over onto his side as he removed his backpack as well as his other gear as he coughed a bit of water out of his lungs.

He could not understand what was going on as he laid there it was unclear, but while it was known he was still within the village, his mother could not send anyone out to search for him now. At least not this late without good reason to believe he would not return, since he left a message as it began to bother her she went out with Tobourne to search for his scent as she was getting really worried at how late it was since it was now mid day.

Her gentle and wild little boy had ran away to go find himself, and while she wanted to let him go she could not wait any longer as they went on the hunt for their child. However this became rather difficult as his scent was erratic, it was as if he had been running all over the place as he tried to pin point where he had went as they found broken branches and some traces of blood as worry filled her heart she made a rush for it.

Meanwhile her boy was still trying to figure out what was going on as the wind blew over his wounds he began to wonder if this was what it felt like to not know who he was. To be like a cloud floating in the sky as he felt like he could not move his body anymore as he was now laying on his back spread out like a snow angel. He really wished it would snow as he began to remember something from long ago, a time in the mountains that felt so cold that he could die, as the snow touched his little nose he would shiver as his mind was drifting off further and further the only thing he wanted to know, was who he was right now.

(489)
[3913]

He felt his heart ache again, he felt his heart beat once more as he tried to move, his body refused. As the boy lay there the clouds would soon gather as the animals that were once so near began to flee from him as he looked out the corner of his eyes to the side, for a moment he thought he saw a cat who looked familiar, a woman with long cat like ears that bordered on being those of a fox and an old lady whose face was blurred from his vision.

Jamie thought to himself, was he still Jamie and then another voice began to speak to him as he saw the clouds forming into the shape of a large cat that seemed more like a tiger as it spoke to him.

"Miku, you have forgotten me for so long"
"You have forgotten who you are, and so have also forgotten me"
"Look inside yourself, Akito Miku"
"You are more then what you have become, you must take your place among the shinobi of this world"
"Remember who you are, you are my son and my kind little boy"
"Remember who you are, remember who you are meant to be, remember..."

A jolt surged through Jamie as he began to sit up slowly as if he was being held down by an unseen force or an invisible shinobi. "father?" as a confused look in his eyes as pain, memories and feelings all intertwine the pain in his back did not go away and then he heard the sound of something ripping apart as everything became more clear as the storm clouds gathered he felt the strength of nature as he looked to the eye in the sky. The eye of the storm which was calling out to him to rise up once more and fight.

(308)
[4221]

The sound of the small drops of water as they hit the lake, a ripple spreading out like the wave of an explosion. The fish moving as they create motion and set forth on an adventure in a land much small then the sea, and not even a fragment of the ocean. However a fish in the pond, a fish in the sea and a fish in the ocean all know how to swim as he began to rise up slowly once more to his feet as his knees were shaking. The winds began to blow as he could hear the sounds of animals feet as they began to run from him as he did not understand it until now that his senses had known of the storm, but being lost he did not know that he was meant to run away. It was too late for running now as he would soon begin to do what he needed to do as he looked to the sky as if accepting his fate as he closed his eyes.

As he thought back to the past, with fragments of his memories.
As he thought to the present, the good times he had and the people he met.
As he looked deep inside himself to the warmth he felt and knew he would have to rise up and face himself.
He wanted to become a legend, he wanted to be a hero, he wanted to see the world and he wanted more then anything, to love everyone and be loved in return.

To him legends could never die, when people would call out their names.
In the heart of the battlefield as the people scream, they only chant the names of their heroes.
Legends never truly die, even when they do, they live on in the hearts of everyone as he realized in that moment
He had to survive relentlessly and persevere until the very end of what ever was happening as he could feel the river of his blood flowing like mad and burning like crazy.

He could not lose hope as he felt the deep coldness of the winds as the rains were pouring lightly as he knew the fight was near. He could feel the pain deep down in his bones as lightning struck down from the sky as he saw a fire starting in this rain as the fire turned to smoke and cinders he began to move as he would not back down, not now and never again.

"who am I?!!!!!!!!!!!" as he cried out to the heavens as the thunder resounded through the air as his ears pained like he had been hit with a large rock as he held onto what it was to be him as the surge of chakra in the air, it was like he could feel the nature all around him. The storm was crazy as he felt eyes watching him, he felt someone was there, but were they testing him or just messing with him as he wiped his nose as the pain of that strong scent in the air, the smell of burned rabbit and charcoal squirrels along with the smell of damp wolves as they had followed him, but chose to begin their escape as they left him alone as they felt unable to challenge nature itself.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" as he cried out in pain no one could hear, as the rains drop down in heavy torrents like a waterfall across all the lands as the storm made someone worry.

"My little boy, please be okay" as Ashi ran towards the storm uncertain why she was being drawn to it.

(619)
[4840]

Akito felt like he was going insane, driven by madness and tortured with pain
Everything all around he could not explain, but he felt he heard every single drop of rain.
From the birds to the bees, to falling on his knees
Looking to the sky, feeling that at any moment he could simply die

His feelings were too much for him to handle, but he endured as he decided to deal with the flames of destruction before him as he looked around he could hear the strange sounds of a sizzling as the cinders of the wood, burning the trees as they fueled the fires that raged in the monsoon of rain as the lake began rising behind him as he knew things would be difficult from this point on.

He took to making use of his fluctuating chakra as he felt the nature of fire and the nature of the raging winds as he felt different from what he felt before as he began to spread out his arms to feel the heat. He could hear the cries of the animals who were in distress as he finally clapped his hands together. This was not a seal for a jutsu he was about to use, but simply for him to try and control his out of control and chaotic new chakra that he was still coming to grips with along with his mad senses.

After remembering what he read long ago on how to put out forest fires, a direct result of him finding it hard to use his jutsu out in the field. Since fire destroys herbs it would be bad for him to burn down the forest as he learned you could either suffocate it with earth techniques, douse it with a large torrent of water, or fight fire with fire. He had now made his resolution and found his resolve as his ears twitched he could feel something moving behind him. He had heard a rip earlier and was too focused to deal with it right now as it felt a bit itchy having something swaying behind him.

Akito takes position and forms a triangular seal with his two hands focusing wind chakra through it as the winds began shifting in direction as the air around him began rotating and moving chaotically at the same time until it all prepared to move in one direction as he formed the tiger hand seal since the wind chakra had been gathered he would now infuse his flaming hot fire chakra as he performed the final part of the technique. Using it for the first time as the flash was so bright he was so glad he had his contact lenses as he felt with his current senses he would have gotten a bit overwhelmed as a blindingly white light flashed as the white flames struck against the red flames consuming them before being put down by the raining waters as this fire may have a good burst, it did not have a long life since it was weaker then most fires of this rank.

However the aim for the technique was a bit off as he ended up burning his right arm slightly as he collapsed to his knees his tail felt wet as he looked back and said. "Oh cool, a tail"

(559)
[5399]

This was a strange tale all about a strange tail as he felt confused as he moved the tail from side to side, then up and down and swung it all around as he seemed to forget about the static. The static sounds of the rain drops falling, the waters rising up as the cold touched and covered the little Akito's feet as he wondered what happened to the boy known as Jamie as he then focused on his tail once more. When he did not think about it his tail moved on its own as he did not understand any of it as he wondered where he would find clothes for this new limb, as well as how he got it as his mind had not processed what was going on yet.

He felt a sudden surge of pain as the natural painkillers, known as endorphins by anyone with good medical knowledge as he felt like someone stabbed him in the gut as his ribs were aching, his ears hurt as well as every drop that hit his head wound make a pounding sound like he was being hit by many hammers. He could smell too many things, the blood in the air and the blood in his hair, the flowers that used to be there and the animals that had not gone too far away as the rushing rain waters were building up more then he realized.

His feet felt frozen and ice cold in the waters that rose up, the humidity in the air made him feel so hot as the combination made it feel like he was boiling and freezing at the same time. He was not sure how many tiny drops and large drops of water were pattering all around him as the waters kept rising he was not sure what to do and then his senses triggered as he looked behind him as the noise from the waterfall seemed crazy until he noticed the grounds crumbling as he could even hear it.

That portion of the river collapsed as the water that had been far above simply falling into the lake was now gushing forth like a flood as his hair stood up he knew at that very moment, he had to run as he tried to move as the water raised up over his knee before falling down his leg splashing as he repeated this and then activated what was left of his supernatural walking practice ability as he seemed to be uncertain of what to do as he attempted to use it, but found his chakra was failing him once again as he managed to stand on the water for only a moment before splashing down on all fours with the water up to his neck as his tail stood up above the water he then knew. It was too late to run away, all he could do now was survive as the rushing waters reminded him of when he first met the girl of white.

(505)
[5904]

As he looked at his fate once more he felt like he was apologizing too often, like he was leaving this world too often as the waters rushed down crushing everything in its path, he felt the need to keep trying as he began to swim away from the rushing waters as hopeless as it was he kept going. Tail swaying helplessly from side to side as his feet paddled like crazy as he did his best with each arm that went under the water to carve a path forward, with every breathe he took in order to survive as he would fight to survive, he would fight to return to his family, to his home and to become stronger then before.

The sounds of the water crashing down like bombs exploding as water gushed up into the air like geysers as mists of foam rose up as the heavy rains still fell it was like a non stop noise that he had to escape from. As he felt his life was in danger his need to perform a technique had risen as he focused as much as he could in the madness.

He reached out both hands in front of him as he chanted inside of his mind over and over that he will survive as he reached out for the one technique that could save him as the large waves were above him as he chose to believe in himself and to believe in his training as he closed his eyes and focused once more. Memories flashed by faster then they had before as there was no more time for regret, only time to rise up for the future that would soon come to be.

He then remembered a memory from his past, but not his old past as she appeared before him inside of his mind and said something familiar to him. "Remember to always return home to me, for you are my son, no matter what anyone says"

This was when things changed as the chakra focused it hurt a lot as he was not sure why he could feel his chakra so intensely, it gave off a strange color and even a smell as he finally performed his great escape using a jutsu that may have made things worse as he performed a combination that increased his speed along with the rushing waters, before using his great breakthrough to blast into the air away from the river and lake itself as he felt like he was going to crash he felt his body stabilizing for some reason as he re-adjusted himself through the random use of his tail as he landed on his feet, but before he could feel impressed he slipped from the momentum and fell forward crashing into the dirt as he had used the great breakthrough technique and his galeforce technique in a combination as he could still hear the rushing waters heading in a different direction as he began to wonder whether it would all be okay as he kept track of where he was as he crawled in the direction of the lake he had been at originally in order to get his gear and return home so he could learn the truth about what he had become, and who he really was.

(557)
[6461]

As he made his way back he knew this all started with one thing, even as he did not understand why. It did not even matter how hard he tried as all that he kept in mind was that everything was understood within due time. All he really knew right now is what little time he had was a valuable thing as he watched his life fly by, as the tic toc of a clock goes round and round. The ticking sound was like the beating of his heart as his life seemed to be fading away as he realized he was too fatigued to focus anymore.

He nearly fell, but for some reason he kept maintaining balance. This was so unreal as he would not fall if he did not look below, he did his best to hold on as he did not even know why he kept seeing Ashi looking out of the window for him with a sad look on her face. He began to wonder what he had been doing all this time wasting his life to watch himself go, as he had kept everything inside and even though he tried, he still fell apart like it was the destiny of what it meant to be, that he would remember his family with the fragments of his memory.

He had tried so hard and gotten so far, but in the end none of that mattered as he continued to fall, continued to lose it all until the very end. He felt that it no longer could matter, he had to stop taking detours and had to stop running away from who he was. In spite of the way that the clan had mocked him, as others just saw him as part of Ashi's property. He remembered all the times him and Shippo had fought, he was surprised at how much things had changed and how much he had become someone else that even he could not recognize anymore.

As all these crazy thoughts ran through his head, his mom Ashi was searching frantically as she got some clues as she found some foot prints as the rains had hit her against her face splashing with reckless abandon. She knew that things were not the way they were before, and that some days she did not even recognize herself anymore. To be honest she did not even really know herself back then, but it all came back to her in the end as she was also keeping everything inside. She had tried so hard to make things work, and now her family was falling apart. She did not want to let it go as she had tried so hard, worked as much as she could to get this far, and in the end does it even matter as she looked out on the cliff. She saw the rushing waters as she tried to stop her heart from aching as she felt in the end that she had only one thing left to do.

As he struggled on he began thinking thoughts as they watched him as he did not understand himself as he asked himself. "Who am I?" as he was now staggering with his tail swishing to the other side to always keep him from falling. He wondered if he was Jamie the boy raised by a strange old lady and living with the Inazuka clan as his mom's little boy, or was he Miku the child of a strange Akito lady and some strange cat guy. He looked up at the rain as it splashed on his face his eyes blinking upon impact as the splashes were strong and hard as he was actually crying as he remembered a saying, that no one sees you crying in the rain. How could he deal with all this pain as he kept going on, as he felt so cold right now as he was shivering.

He remembered what he said the other night deep down in his heart as his words never came out back then. He began to think back as he made his way towards his home as the splashing of water beneath his feet as the winds blew he noticed the waters were raging all over the place as he passed by trees fell down on him as he began to sneeze as his ears twitched from the ringing sounds he kept hearing. He wanted to tell Ashi that he had put his trust in her, and that even though he pushed himself as hard as he could go, for all this there was only one thing he wanted her to know is that he tried so hard. He wanted her to understand that he had gone so far and in the end he felt like all he could do was fall, that he could never win as he felt destined to lose it all. The words Shippo said to him still hurt now, he was asked what would he be willing to do to protect what he loved. In his heart he felt he could not ever be happy with killing, but soon he began to understand that the world was connected as he could feel chakra in everything all around him.

His heart was racing again as he felt like he could collapse at any moment as he thought he could hear the sound of a howl as a voice suddenly spoke to him.

He resisted it as his eyes began to close he decided to not close his eyes or his heart as he said to himself that the darkness can fall on another day, in this storm the light of his life seemed so far away from him as he felt like he was all alone. He was getting really cold and the cold was driving him insane as he kept on going. He could not believe what he sees with his eyes as something else must have been keeping him alive, maybe he was just being hopeful deep within his heart, since hope is what he needed to keep on going in order to begin again as he kept on with his journey towards the village.

He had to believe in the chakra in all things that he could not see before as he felt so all alone even though he felt surrounded. He felt he had to do everything in his might to stay strong and fight, he felt so last but he knew not any fear as he was broken apart. He knew he had to rise to the occasion and never give up as he had come this far, knowing deep down in his heart what was right. He had to get back to his home, but for now he was all alone on his own out here.

Meanwhile she began to understand that she had discovered something as she got a feint scent she jumped off the cliff along with Tobourne as they began to race towards the heart of this storm. She did not care about herself, her partner shared her feelings as they went wild not still not knowing what to do.

A woman hell bent on reaching out to her child stops in the middle as she finds a pack of wolves who seem to have his scent, as they stop she asks Tobourne to communicate with them as the howl serves as a warning as they glare at her before answering that they had attempted to hunt him, but lost him to the river as her heart raged as the wolves retreated they ran as fast as they could towards the river as they had seen from above that it was already a mess before them. Running wild she said deep down in her heart repeatedly as if to comfort herself more then anything 'Please be okay, my little Jamie' as Tobourne noticed the fear in Ashi's heart and while shinobi were meant to be tools there was no way to completely eliminate their emotions as they were still just human beings in the end.

Whether he kept the name of Jamie, as a wanderer in the village of leaves or took on the name he was born with as Akito Miku the child of a woman he can barely remember and a cat who made no sense to him. However deep down he knew he could no longer be his mom's little Jamie anymore as his chakra was spread out further then usual, it was like his chakra was also flowing through these brand new ears and tail as he began to pick up his speed, not even realizing that he had been starting to drop his stance lower and lower, until he began to run on all fours as he began staggering more like a cat than a human as the blur between the lines became harder for him to keep track of.

He thought he heard something familiar in the distance as deep down in his heart he had hoped it was Tobourne that howled and not the pack of wolves that were hunting him down. He missed his family, he missed arguing with Shippo, he missed Tsume and Tobournes fluffy fur, and he missed his mom's cooking and occasionally he also missed dad with all his strange quirks. His eyes were full of tears as they shot down the sides of his face as the clouds began to make a noise as Ashi was rushing towards him, he was rushing towards her.

The clouds were making strange rumbling sounds as the storm was reaching its climax, the bright flashes of white light making one's hairs stand on end as the little boy running towards his home, towards his mother began dashing faster as his tail swayed from side to side as he dodged trees and the occasional gust of wind blowing rain waters hard into his face as he felt like he was swimming on land. As soon as he was thinking that a wave of water gushed out as a flash flood appeared from out of nowhere as he jumped up to the trees running on upwards as the lightning blasted forth striking a few trees as they fell near his location as he jumped forward in a semi dash to avoid the crumbling and burning branches as they collapsed he was jumping from tree to tree as they fell as the water beneath was also crushing the trees as well as he finally ended up on a tree that had now become like a log as he stayed on it as it floated around.

Faintly in the distance his ears could pick up the howls getting closer, but as soon as he was thinking he knew where to go the thunder would roll in making him lose track as he held on tightly as the tree moved along the rushing waters like a boat before rising upright as it spun around he held on tightly before feeling a crash as he was submerged under the waters as he held his breathe not sure what was going on as he tried to move, but he felt an intense pain as all he could do nothing but stay alive for as long as possible. His trademark shirt was torn as it rose up to the surface the lightning striking again as his blood was now near the surface it was a scent that Tobourne could never mistake and neither could Ashi as she began to feel her own blood rushing as she lost her mind as she did a strange combination with Tobourne transforming into a large Wolf Beast with two heads as they broke through the storm as the lightning struck they dashed avoiding it as the tail of the beast swished behind it the waters were being knocked away as they had no more time to waste, the only thing that mattered now was their child as they would stop for no one, not an enemy, not a friend, not a storm or any form of nature. Would this be the end, or would she succeed when her heart felt like she would fail at any moment.

Ashitor or Torbashi, did it matter who or what they were when they were combined as they both had one thing on their mind. That was to save their son and to bring him back home safely as they crashed down below the craters of the earth exploding as the walls rose up to cut off some paths in the water as they dashed as one with a single focus looking left and right, up and down, all around as they did not understand where they had gone wrong.

The waters flowed through the young boy's hair as he began to wonder what it was like, did his real mother save him or had she cast him out. He was starting to lose faith once more as he just clung to his breathe as small bubbles escaped his lips as his consciousness was now fading once again, his ears were pounding as the sound of fish, rocks and rushing waters were flooding them as he did not know how to keep the pain of water in his ears from stinging so badly. His heart beat seemed to be getting softer, gentler, and so slow it began to seem as if he was no longer alive as he could only think of surviving now.

A wild two headed beast had traversed the lands of this storm and then they could see as they did not even need their noses anymore as they noticed the torn piece of his t-shirt they dashed like mad and then split back into shinobi and beast as she used her super natural walking practice like it was common place as she took a sniff of it as Tobourne had already gone further upstream against the flow feeling with his paws for any sign of their little boy. There were tears in the eyes of his mother who did not take too long to follow as she went underwater and began swimming searching for any sign of him. Where had he gone and she could not lose him, not now and not ever. At least not like this as she knew the shinobi world was never that kind, as she made her way through the raging torrents as the experienced Tobourne howled in hopes of the boy reacting.

The sounds of foot steps under the water seemed strange as he began to wonder why things had become this way, as a large beast was also approaching he was not sure what to do anymore as he pointed with his free hand towards the sky as the consciousness he had left was all but gone. He performed his final technique as the water lit up for a moment as he blasted forth a flaming blaze in a straight line up into the sky as a wild beast and a doting mother looked up to the sky and in that moment they knew.

A woman running towards her child as a wild beast of a wolf dog took the tree and tossed it away as they fought the forces of the wild waters like it came naturally to them as they all got cuts and bruises as the storm continued he felt the gentleness of a warm embrace as he only blinked slightly before passing out as he said to the woman. "mom" as the feelings of water had gone away as he would not remember clearly what happened that day other than the changes he felt as he did not understand how to deal with any of this as he just thought he kept hearing crying all this time.

Laying there all alone a small boy who could feel the nature all around him as he felt something warm laying on his chest as he opened his eyes. The light of the sun shining through the window was too bright as he squinted and closed them again before opening once more. He could see someone was laying on him as he looked to the strangely white ceiling, he also noticed some strange colors in the air and then he looked to the lady and realized who it was as his eyes were lighting up. His ears twitched to the sounds of people in the rooms and all around as he struggled to focus he tried to shut out the noise as his mind attempted to adapt to his new super hearing as his ears twitched some more he spoke softly and nervously.

"mom?" as the woman seemed to notice something stirring beneath her arms and face as she looked up and noticed his eyes were open as he felt a bit worried as his ears drooped down betraying him as they revealed some of his emotions as she just hugged him tightly pressing his face into her warm chest as she cried slightly and said. "Don't ever do that again, you are my little boy no matter who you are, where you from or what you are. You will always be my son, just like Shippo will always be your brother. Even if they say we can never be together, we are family" as she began suffocating him slightly before realizing the situation as she pulled off he took a deep breathe as she smiled for him.

"I love you" as he looked down blushing more only for his tail to pop up as he got startled and fell as she caught him so he would not hit the floor. "Seems you may need to get a lot of new clothes soon" as she ruffled his hair on his head it felt even better then usual as he tried to smile, but it was just too hard as he softly said, "I love you too, mom" as he did not care about his past, all he cared about was his family and the truth. He would take on his true name to learn who he truly was, he could not run away from the past and remain the Jamie they knew, but he also could not forget what he learned as Jamie and who he really is as Miku of the Akito family, however there was no clan by the name of Akito as he began to wonder what he would have to do to learn the truth.

A few days had passed as he looked on with determined eyes as he stood before his mom one last time. "I'm sorry mom" as she looked at him with tears building up in her eyes as she resisted. "Do not be sorry, just do what your heart tells you to do. You will always be my son, no matter what path you follow and what choices you make" as he bowed his head politely before turning around as his tail swished and his ears twitched. It may have been seen as a joke for some of the younger kids, but for some of the more elderly it seemed insulting in some sense for a cat to be staying with the dog clan of Inazuka. While he wanted to say more goodbyes to Shippo, he did not want to waste time doing what he had to do.

"Goodbye mom" as he began walking towards the door she said softly, "Goodbye my precious little boy" as he swayed his tail once more as he raised up his arm in a gesture for a farewell and to victory in his new path. As he stepped out the door it moved back as it shut closed his ears felt pain at how loud the noise was, at the very same time he could hear as she began to cry. He understood her feelings as well as he silently cried as well as he left the place he had called home since becoming a part of the village. He also left a farewell note for Shippo as well as it said.

'Dear big brother, sometimes i think you stupid and sometimes i find you really scary. If I had to choose, I would not ask for anyone else as a big brother. Please pet Tsume for me and look after mom, I will make sure to visit sometimes too. Goodbye and thanks for everything Shippo'

He was not sure where to go or where to stay, but he felt like he could not stay with his family anymore. Maybe he was being stupid and maybe he was just being a child, but in the end he simply understood that he would not be happy if he did not find all the answers first, he had to know and he could never let it go. He had began reading in the libraries in order to understand himself more, at best there was the Nekomata clan within his village, however he felt that they were not his kind either as there was something different about him that he himself never understood. It was through this ordeal that he soon learned that he would need to understand more about the strange chakra that came naturally to him.
