Shino reviewed what he knew about "Kumo" as he prepared food. She was from Iwa. She had reddish-brown hair and hazel eyes. She was probably about 16, the same age as he was. She tried to become a spider permanently when she was 15. She had been trained to use her chakra by her father, who no one acknowledged the existence of. She thought she deserved to be hated because she couldn't stop someone. That's not much to go on, but it's a start.
He knocked on the door of the room he had placed her in.
"Go away." Came her command from the other side of the door.
Shino entered anyways, a plate of food in his hand. "You need to eat."
Her belly growled loudly at the smell and she practically snatched the food from his hand and inhaled it.
"How long has it been since you've eaten?"
She shrugged, still inhaling the food.
"Shall we continue our alternating questions?" Shino asked.
Kumo shrugged again. "But first you have to take off the glasses. They're creepy."
Shino removed his glasses and began. "What types of jutsu do you tend to use?"
"Just transformation. How old are you?"
"16. Do you only use transformation jutsu by preference or because you can't use other jutsu?
"I can use other jutsu, but not all the time. Sometimes transformation is all that will come to me. What are friends like?"
Shino blinked in surprise at the question. "Friends… are people who care about you. People who want to protect you, and you want to protect, even though they are not related to you." Kumo's expression was thoughtful. "Can you transform to any shape other than a spider?"
"Do you have a space bigger than this room?"
Puzzled, he led her to the main gathering room, and without even forming a hand sign, Kumo shifted to a snake and slipped out of her clothes. Then she began a rapid series of transformations: bear, ostrich, lion, fish, hawk, deer, dog, and elephant before settling as a mouse next to Shino's sandal.
"I guess that's a yes." He mused. Kumo transformed once more, this time into a large leopard. She touched her nose to his hand before turning her head in a flash, and gently placing her jaws around his wrist. His eyes widened in shock, but she did not bite down. She simply turned, forcing him to turn with her or impale his wrist on her large canines. When he was facing the wall, she released him and disappeared behind him. He turned around to see what she was doing only to realize that she was back in human form and naked, covered only by her scars. "I turned you around so I could get dressed without you looking!" she berated him.
"I did not know what you were doing." Shino responded, facing the wall once again.
"You can turn around now." When the boy was once again facing her, she stated "I more than adequately answered your question. Now answer mine. Why do you ask me all these questions?"
"My original mission was to stop you from terrorizing the town. I decided to take you back to Konoha so you could be examined, since I had never heard of a jutsu that was not broken when the casters chakra was drained. Now I need to find out about you because you are in Konoha, and we do not wish to keep you a prisoner forever, but need to know if you are a friend or an enemy." He looked at her, gaging her reaction with his funny eyes of different colors. "My next question is how did you get all those scars?"
Her teeth clenched and her knuckles turned white. "I was brought into this world as an experiment. I was tested and virtually abandoned. I was tortured when my father failed, or they wanted to show him what would happen if he disobeyed them. Eventually he faked my death." She turned to look him straight in the face defiantly and said "You may send your bugs to keep an eye on me, but don't follow me. I've had enough of you and your questions. I will not be an experiment again." She shifted to spider form and scuttled out.
He sent a few kikaichu after her, but remained in the main gathering room, thinking. Who had experimented on her? What did they experiment with? Who was her father? Why can she only reliably use transformation? Why does her transformation persist after her chakra is drained? How long was she a spider? Who couldn't she stop? Though he had asked questions, he was left with more questions than he had gained answers for.
