Author's note: Apologies for any mistakes. I know this chapter is small but next one will be longer. I thought in this one I should approach a thing that shouldn't be so omitted, I hope you don't mind. Special thanks to Lady Augustin for the reviews! You're right about Setg'in and Za'zin xD

Warning: Nothing special just a small thing about women.

Enjoy!


Sakura bowed to Kant'ra.

"I leave her to you my dear Kant'ra." Za'zin said purring to his mate; Kant'ra purred back and Za'zin left.

"Greetings, Sakura." She greeted her taking a good look at the female human.

"Greetings, Elder Kant'ra." Sakura said bowing again.

"So you're the female ooman you wants to become part of our clan…" Kant'ra growled softly cocking her head.

"Yes I am…" Sakura answered in a low tone of voice. She was surprised at how her voice make her feel so calm.

"Sit with me. We have a lot to talk about." She said making a sign to Sakura to accompany her. Sakura followed her, she waited for Kant'ra to sit and then she sat next to her.

Meanwhile in the meeting room:

"No! She's my responsibility!" Setg'in growled angrily, getting up from his sit.

"Setg'in is better this way!" Elder Za'zin growled back at him trying to reason with him.

"You're getting affected by this ooman my friend…" Thei'de said clicking his mandibles, he sitting with his arms crossed.

Setg'in knew they were right, Sakura was affecting his emotions and he only knew her for about three days. But he felt like she was his duty since he was the one who brought her.

"I agree…" Setg'in snarled, finally giving in and sat again. "But I will train her!" He growled.

"Then it's settled. Sakura will be taught by Kant'ra and Setg'in will train her to hunt." Za'zin said sighing. Setg'in was in agreement finally.

In the female quarters:

"And that's how I got here…" Sakura just finished explaining how she got here and a little bit about her life, Kant'ra liked Sakura and wanted to know her better, they were already getting a long like two good friends.

"You amaze me Sakura…" Kant'ra said purring.

"Why, Elder?" Sakura chuckled blushing.

"You've been through a lot my dear. You may not prove yourself to us yet, but I'm already honored that you want to join us." Kant'ra said in a loving tone, she had a mother like aura. She always thought Yautja and Human females we're alike when it came to emotions.

"Thank you Elder Kant'ra, you're so kind." Sakura said softly, she was amazed, Kant'ra seemed so calm, so kind, and so nice and Sakura already like her and knew they could be good friends besides the different ranks and species. Kant'ra responded with a nod.

Suddenly Sakura's stomach rumbled making her blush. Kant'ra clicked her mandibles.

"Looks like someone's hungry." She said chuckling looking at her belly.

"Err… Sorry…" Sakura said feeling embarrassed.

"Don't worry child. Come on, you will eat with me at the female quarters today and then you will rest in your new quarters. Your teaching starts now." She said getting up. This made some Yautja females become jealous, a new comer, human, was already touching their female Elder's heart. Sakura did as told.

Kant'ra knew a little about humans so she tried to introduce new types of food in her system. After a while of eating in the common dining room with the female Elder, learning new words and gestures Kant'ra escorted Sakura to her new quarters. Sakura own now a room just for her, the walls were grey, but the rest was the same as the others rooms she saw, huge window, a door leading to the bathroom, a huge bed, furniture, one table and four chairs.

Three weeks had passed and Setg'in didn't saw Sakura since their discussion. Sakura was already familiar with Elder Kant'ra and some females who like her, she didn't even needed her mask anymore to talk or understand what they were saying, she had learn the language really quickly, and Yautja language was all she heard around here, but her pronunciation still needed some work. Kant'ra took Sakura almost everywhere so she could learn as much as she could. They already shared a bound like mother and daughter. Kant'ra was a good teacher and Sakura was a good and quick learner.

Sakura was resting in her quarters after taking a bath, she was already getting used to her new life and family. Someone knocked on her door.

"Come in." Sakura said. The door open and Kant'ra came in bringing something in her hands. "Gkaun'yte, Elder Kant'ra." Sakura said getting up and bowing.

"Gkaun'yte my dear. How are you today?" She said coming closer.

"Great and you Elder?" She asked being polite with Kant'ra like always.

"Good. I have a present for you." She said reveling what she had in her hands; it was a beautiful white tunic with only one sleeve. Sakura dress some tunics given by Kant'ra, but this one was different.

"It's beautiful Elder Kant'ra! Thank you so much! You've been so kind to me, always supporting me and helping… I can't thank you enough." Sakura was really grateful for everything she had done.

"Yes you can Sakura… Become officially part of this clan." Kant'ra said clicking her mandibles.

"I will. I promise." Sakura said smiling.

The next day Sakura was feeling a little bit sick, with a belly ache. 'I could I forgot this?' Sakura thought. When she got to the bathroom it was too late.

"C'jit!" She shouted. 'What I'm going to do now? I doubt Yautja Females have period!' Sakura started to panic. 'I think I should call Kant'ra…' she thought. She got to the holographic screen in her room and typed a message to call her. Sakura thought it was something that worked like a text message.

After a few minutes Kant'ra appeared on her room worried.

"What is it my dear?" She asked concerned sitting next to Sakura who was lying on her bed.

"I-I…" she began. 'How I'm going to explain this?' she thought. "I don't know if… you… know… but human females have a thing calling… hum…" Sakura didn't know the word for menstruation in Yautja "they bleed… once a mouth… from…. Hum… Err…" She mumbled blushing.

Kant'ra began to chuckle.

"My dear don't be so shy with me. I know exactly what you mean. I already took care of that." She said patting her head softly.

"You do?" Sakura asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm an old Yautja, dear. I know a lot about other species, especially Oomans who are so alike us." She said with a tenderness look. Kant'ra was starting to see Sakura like a daughter, since she never had one. Kant'ra and Za'zin had only four sons, three already grown up and hunting.

"So… What do I do about this?" she asked worried.

"Wait here, I'll be right back." Kant'ra said leaving her room.

After a few minutes Kant'ra entered in her room with a new Yautja that Sakura didn't knew, he had shoulder height dreadlocks, he was a little thinner than the other ones, his eyes were a mix of yellow and orange and his skin was dark green.

"Sakura this is our main and best healer in our clan, Nan'ku." Kant'ra introduced him.

"Gkaun'yte, Nan'ku." Sakura said getting up and bowing her head.

"Gkaun'yte." Nan'ku nodded. He come closer to her; put a mask and started to examine her with it. "I see… you're what oomans call menstruated." He said the last word in English.

"Yes!" Sakura said happily that somebody understood her.

"This will help you."Nan'ku hand her a few things looking like maxi pads, but made of clothe fabric. "After using you just need to wash it and they'll be ready to use again." Fortunately Nan'ku knew a lot about humans and other humanoids too. He was the best doctor in the clan.

"Thank you so much Nan'ku! You made my life so much easily." Sakura said overjoyed.

"Anytime. If you have any physical problems just look for me, Elder Kant'ra made me your officially healer." Nan'ku said. True only the best ranks got the better benefits but he was the principal healer of the clan and all the members needed to pass through him when injured. Besides, Nan'ku was the only one knowing so much about humans and he was excited having Sakura has his patient now he could learn even more.

"Thank you Nan'ku. You're dismissed now." Kant'ra said nodding at him. Nan'ku bowed to the Elder Kant'ra and left. "Sakura, we need to talk…" Kant'ra said sitting on the bed next to Sakura.

"Is anything wrong?" Sakura asked concerned looking at her.

"On the contrary, my dear. Your learning with me is over, you passed. You're a quick learner. I'm proud of you." Kant'ra said purring.

"Thank you so much, Elder. But I think it was the teacher who did a good job." Sakura said smiling. They both started to chuckled.

"Now you're ready to train the hunting with Setg'in and complete you're chiva." Kant'ra said clicking her mandibles.

"Setg'in? No! I don't want to be train by him!" Sakura shouted; she was still hurt by his words.

"I know what happened dear. But this was the agreement. He's responsible by you; you know the code of honor." Kant'ra already knew Sakura as the palm of her hand.

"I know the code of honor. Is just… I can't face him…" She said looking at her window.

"You're about to become a hunter you can't show fear at any circumstances! Don't disappoint me Sakura."Kant'ra advised her grabbing her hand.

"I know Elder, my apologies." Sakura said looking at her.

"Accepted. Now get ready, we're going to have a special dinner today at the meeting dinner room. Dress the tonic I offer you." Kant'ra said getting up and walk to the door. "I'll see you at dinner." She purred and left.

Sakura got up and walk to the bathroom where she took a shower and got ready for the special dinner. Sakura did some small braids on her hair and tied them with white ribbons. Then she got to the room on the third section aka third floor. She was nervous, her first dinner with some of the highest rank Yautja.
