I feel sore all over, which is saying something given that the deep calm not only numbs emotions but most physical pains as well. A testament to how hard the unfamiliar motions of dancing are. However, I can now say that I had totally underappreciated all those dancing masters on competitive tv shows in my past life. I mean, I had some idea that it was hard, but not nearly this hard!

I used to love watching those with my family. We all had such different tastes when it came to entertainment. My dad, who was usually very mild-mannered, was a massive fan of horror movies. He said that it was one of the first dates he took my mother on was to a horror movie. My mother, however, felt sick from the movie and left early, and he had worried that she would never call him again. I didn't like horror either, but I wasn't as bad as my mum.

My brothers being younger, had younger tastes. They both would love anything animated with talking animals. However, at the same time, they both had a fascination for cheesy cop movies.

My mom loved romance over my brothers'… let's call them comedy movies? She would be all sad and cry at both the tragedies and happy movies. (My dad did, too, but he's never admitted it)

I, on the other hand, loved action and adventure…

So real-life competitive tv shows were a 'neutral' ground since you never knew what would happen on them.

I smile fondly at the memories.

I'm home right now, returning after my forced morning run where even Yataka could tell I was in a bit of a mood. I collapse on the couch, every muscle aching. To be fair, the unique 'training' did actually help me with my shurikenjutsu a good deal. I just can't help but wonder if some of the twirls and moves that Izumi had me do was not punishment for a few ill-timed comments I had made.

I huff out a deep breath watching Ami from the corner of my eye as she does her newest addition to her routine, self-poisoning. She still gives me every day, to two days a tea with a small amount of poison. I stopped questioning it eventually. Plus, she is getting better and better at the 'doses' so that they don't make you hopelessly sick and just… uncomfortable. However, with herself, Ami takes it a step further, soaking the inside of some bandages in an only slightly diluted mix of poisons and putting different poisonous powders on her skin and then wrapping them with clean bandages so as not to poison others. This has resulted in her most recent fashion statement of white bandages covering most of her forearm. It has also resulted in me having to re-balance to budget to involve many creams and ointments to deal with the after-effects of the process.

She's a little annoyed at me, about spending time with 'Sasuke-kun' even if she won't admit it. Though I don't think it will be that big a deal as long as it stays just a one-time thing which it most likely is. Though the fact I am pretty sure my immunity dose 'mistake' wasn't such a mistake was her minor revenge.

After a minute, I sit up and begin to meditate, this time with my eyes open, staying alert not just with my sensing skills but with my eyes as well. It's tricky. I really want to close my eyes, and it is hard to keep the concentration like this but not so hard that I can't do it.

My sensing is fuelled with my chakra feeling the world around me explode in detail and expand out in range, always needing me to take a moment to adjust to the change, like having a blindfold removed in a bright room. I'm really close, too, close to completing this skill completely.

Sensing Proficiency Level 97

Ability to sense or detect others based on their energy signature and pick out details about them. To double range and accuracy cost 25-50 energy type per minute depending on accuracy wanted. (Available energies to sense- chakra) Range increase per level by 5 m, accuracy and details increase per level and closer to you the person is. Current range 485m.

I focus on the signatures around them, cataloguing them into three categories, ninja, civilian, and child. The ninjas were easy to feel… mostly, that is. Sometimes they were tricky as they would be suppressing their signature or disguising it, maybe? It was something to look into, but sometimes clear ninjas felt a lot like civilians.

The way to catch them was getting easier, though. Chakra is energy. An individual controls it; however, there are varying levels of control. Chakra didn't 'like' to be suppressed. It likes to be EXPRESSED. Chakra wants to flow at its full force, from what I can tell. It wants to subtly ripple off of you, mingling with other chakras. So even suppressed, it fluctuates. That is the first way to sense those with suppressed signatures, the little fluctuations. This seemed to work particularly well; however, there was another thing to consider.

Civilians also had chakra, locked away and more contained, smaller too, but it is there, and it also likes to ripple off of them. The size in itself and the uncontrolled yet sealed manner make them easy to identify. I have, however, come across a few 'civilians' whose chakra seems a little TOO locked up. I suspect a high-level ninja was concealing their chakra.

Then kids… well, kids were simple. They were so light and fluffy in their signatures, most civilians still locked away, but they reminded me of clouds of chakra instead of actual chakra. Just floating through the pathway completely light and free. For clan kids and even most of my peers, though, this is only the case until like age THREE. Except in some cases, but again, this all needs further study….

"Wow!" I hear Ami say, her arms now bound up as she sits up, pointing the finger at me, a look of awe on her face. The awe is changed to a look of confusion, and then worry. "Did… did you know your eyes glow?" She asks in a hushed whisper as though worried someone would hear. A good instinct. I would actually be proud of it if the question didn't catch me so laughably off guard. What does she mean by my eyes glow? Are those poisons getting to her? Now I am starting to get worried.

"Ami…" I begin to say because this must be something SHE is SEEING because there is NO WAY my eyes GLOW. That is just crazy! Right?

I stopped my sensing, focusing back on the moment, and Ami tilted her head blinking with wide owlish eyes.

"It stopped!" Ami declared, and now I felt my eyes widen. If my eyes… I just stopped sensing using CHAKRA…

I get up quickly, moving past Ami, who thankfully doesn't question me further… at least not right now. I move to the bathroom closing the door. The lights aren't on, but the sun lights up the room in dim morning light from the small window. I face the mirror, hoping, praying, and mentally swearing as I test… my theory.

I begin to sense with chakra again. Just a little and see in the dim light sparking in my eyes, a slight glow in my usually the dark blue ripple. A glow makes my eyes seem a little lighter in the shade. Not something you would see if you weren't looking closely or didn't know me well. Well, like Ami does. I channel more chakra, and the glow gets brighter, my eyes turning lighter the more chakra I channel.

Hidden Title Revealed!

Hidden title? Is that a thing? How is that fair?!

Madogan User (Meaning Window-eye, activates with the users chakra network, eyes reveal the soul of the user, good for intimidation as it shows the manipulated energy of the user and can affect the view of the energies when actively used. Increases potency of users energy by 500% when fully activated, form- complete)

My mind is racing with things because… I don't even know where to start. Could the system be less about my reincarnation and more about these weird eyes? Is it 'active' right now? Somehow I know it isn't yet. At the same time though it IS glowing. Aren't we channelling chakra in the academy this year? God, this is such a headache. At least, I don't think that Ami will say anything about it.

The biggest question, though?

If there is one 'hidden title,' who's to say that there aren't others? Something tells me the fact that I don't even have a name to put to my parents in this life is going to be a real issue from now on.
