Kitty smiled, pulling the black hair tie from her short copper curls and shaking it out.

She looked down at her clothes. Her stripy stockings, knee length kick with fluffy lining and stripy under-top with red overdress didn't seem to fit the world she had entered.

She glanced back at the portal, which swirled with glowing blue. She laughed as a bag flew though landing with a thump. Picking it up she opened it, pulling out clothes that better fit this world.

Tan pants, loose with ties at the bottom, gray leather boots with two straps that buckled on the outer side, and a faded salmon pink shirt with a shoulder clasp top with copper press studs.

She dressed quickly, throwing her old clothes back through the portal.

Her flesh was ever so faintly stripped with thick band of normal tanned skin and slightly darker tanned skin, and she had a tail. Fluffy as a cats tail, stripped like the restult of a cross between a tiger and a tabby with a tufted end that looked like a burning fire, curved like a scorpions sting, it twisted in way that suggested it was also prehensile.

She finished changed and watched as the portals surface went hard like a skin on pudding, and runs floated over the surface, before it closed with a flash.

She was left staring at the beauty of the landscape of the desert at night, and the night sky in Naruto world.

The sheer amount of them stunned her. She was so used to them being drowned out by city lights that her heart felt ready to burst from happiness. The sight of stars and the smell of desert night would become associated with freedom from now on. Real freedom.

The kind that let's you go anywhere, do anything. She could go back when she was ready, or felt like it, or got bored or homesick. Homesick, she snorted. More like tribesick.

She and the others had a makeshift home. And she had a goal. She was going to set up another alternate 'home' in the Sand village.

She grinned, then preformed the hand-signs she learned, with great difficulty, from scrolls.

Chakra flowed into her legs and lungs, and she ran, with great speed, across the cold desert, under the night stars.
