I don't… think you guys really know… how amazing you truly are. I don't want that to be blind to you. And I can't do much, so all I can really do is try to make the chapter good and thank you once more. So, thank you. I've already written a big thank you in my profile, if you didn't read it, that's okay. I just wrote it for those who stumbled upon my profile.

I wrote my first story for FictionPress, my own story. And… here's the thing. Most people will get more success on FanFiction with everyone looking, I mean LOOKING for those TV shows or books or movies that those stories are based upon. So when you post a story on FictionPress, it's so much harder because no one is looking for your story, or what's in it. So, I want to help you out. If any of you comes across making their own story and putting it up on FictionPress, let me know, I'll really check it out. Don't hold your fear of making your own story because you're afraid of no one liking it, do it because you had a great idea. Heck, I only have one follower on my story xD It's not easy, but I think that's just the best part of it all.

Sorry the author's note was lengthy, so let's just continue.

Ps: Psssst, It's time to time jump :o

-I Know About You-

-Seytu: 8-

-With Kunedda-

If only he could enjoy this. To run through open fields and feel the wind blow through his fur. But he had too much on his mind.

"I recognize this place." Says his feathered friend soaring above him. "Yeah? What do you know about this place, Hidalgo?" The feline asks. Hidalgo doesn't quite notice that Kunedda doesn't exactly care.

"I don't know. General Temi just told me to scope out the place a month ago. Not really looking for something in particular, just to see what this place is like. If… If I'm correct…" Hidalgo pauses and flies just a little faster than Kunedda ran.

"I was right." The bird says after a while. Kunedda rolls his eyes. He sees nothing but hills. "Fine, I'll play along. What do you see, Hidalgo?" He huffs; he was beginning to get breathless. He was running too fast now. "The Soaring Corner." He squeaks. Kunedda blinks twice and looks up at him confusingly. "The… what?"

"It's a village. Actually, it's this whole place. Look, Kunedda… Kunedda look!" He says, he's suddenly bursting with a smile, throwing Kunedda off guard a bit. "So many memories…" Hidalgo says, but Kunedda doesn't hear with all the loud wind his body slices through. Then Kunedda thinks. "Hey wait, we still have some money, right? Why don't we take a break?" He says, the bird suddenly cheers and flies in circles. Hidalgo has been sour lately, and Kunedda knows this. He did make Hidalgo go on this trip with him, it was the least he could do.

They finally reach the village, and Hidalgo looks around in wonder. "This… this place hasn't changed at all!" He says in delight. Kunedda smirks at Hidalgo's happiness. He doesn't exactly know where they stand in friendship, but Kunedda knows Hidalgo is the only one who cares. Hidalgo found his way around in those two minutes while Kunedda thought, and people greeted him.

"Welcome back, Hidalgo!"

"Yeah! It's great to see you again!"

"Yeah what are you doing here?"

Hidalgo broke out in more smiles. Introducing Kunedda, he got a bit nervous. He was never really good with others. But their welcomes put him a strange mood. A happy mood. He looks past the crowd and sees a cougar and a leopard. They look a little younger than I do, he thinks. But his thoughts were distracted by the sweet aroma of food coming from the various shops around him.

-With Raynor and Frina-

"This place has enough cats around, don't you think?" Raynor says, seeing the new feline being surrounded by the people. Frina smiles. "Well, I don't know. He's looks friendly and… quite handsome, maybe we should talk to him." She looked down on the ground and kicked a rock in her path, not noticing Raynor's eyes burning a hole through her head. "H-handsome? Pft, please. He may be older but I bet I'm better looking than that ball of fur." His words came out faster than he meant them too. Frina noticed what was going on and wanted to play with that. So she smiled, and shrugged.

"I guess. And that boy we train with, Seytu? He's pretty fine himself." Raynor became baffled and struggled to find the right words. "B-but I am too! Come on, brown eyes. I saved your life like three times now. Give me some credit!" She broke out in giggles. Then stops. "Where is that hunk of fur anyways?" Raynor scoffs. "How should I know? I hadn't seen him since yesterday. I heard he was training hardcore. Ms. Tigress knows how to pack a punch." Frina was so racked with thought.

"Maybe we should go train too?"

"Nah. I'm too lazy for that today. Though, he's been training so much more. That's motivating." He says. He didn't mean it sarcastically. Frina nodded. "He's passing us, leaving us in the dust." Raynor thought about that. He usually couldn't stand the feeling of someone being better than him. "Heh… maybe… but… but it won't be hard to catch up to him. I'm sure of it."

-Tigress' POV-

"I have a feeling." I said, he paused to look at me. "And what's that feeling mother?" He said and began punching the wooden dummy again. It was already falling apart quite easily. I groaned, I have to make more. But his strength surprises me. And frankly, I'm impressed. "You can't push yourself, Seytu. I love to see you train, but you'll just tire yourself out if you push yourself to your limits." I crossed my arms, he didn't stop throwing punches and kicks. "I haven't reached my limits yet." He groans. I shake my head but I smile.

I'm having him train outside today. He seems to focus more out in the open. "I don't think your being hard on me enough, actually." He says, catching my attention. He finally took a break after countless hours of training. He was breathless and leaning against the dummy that could fall apart anytime now. "Not hard enough?" I question. He nods. "Maybe Uncle Po should come visit again. Then you both could come up with ways to really train me." I smirked.

"Po. Hardcore training. Do you know how inaccurate your words are?" He smiles and grabs his cup of water. "Well, I'd still like to see him. And if he can't push me a bit, what about your other teammates? I know you went to like, two different academies." What he said summoned millions of memories to pass through my head. I sat down on the ground and he joined me. "And I know that uniform your wearing had a Luna sign on it. You've told me that was your favorite academy. But you ripped it out of the stitches. I think you should have kept it on there." He says offering myself a cup of water. I remember the day I got here I went through all of my clothing and ripped all of the Luna markings off. I blamed myself for running away, though, deep down I knew that just wasn't true.

"I have a feeling you are becoming like me in a lot of ways." I say, bringing up the earlier subject. He smiles. But the smile disappears. "What is it?" I ask him. His ear twitches. I swear his hearing is a lot better than mine.

But I hear it now too. Footsteps. They stop, and I hear a voice with a thick accent.

"Well, I'll be damned."

Blain.

I jumped up, as did Seytu. He got in his position but I eased him. "No." I say to him.

There was the tall, buff fox who's accent just doesn't match with his animal type. "No way…" I manage out of my mouth.

Blains fur was dirty. His slacks were too, he seemed as though he rolled around in the dirt for hours. He had a long, ugly scar on his lower stomach. He had unfamiliar leather bands around his left arm.

"Hello, love." He says with a ruffled laugh.

-Dai Lin's POV-

"Ms. Fey, is there anything else you need help with?" I ask setting down the many boxes with various clothing.
"No hun, I hired a new employee. She should be here any second." I nodded. "Anyone I know?" I asked and regretted it after her answer.

"Oh yes, that Haley girl you hung out with." Haley. She was only supposed to stay here for a few weeks a year or two ago. And she was the one I "disappeared" with. But In reality, she just tried to seduce me and bring me back to my old ways. "Be careful with her." I say without realizing it.

"Why's that, dear?" She asks. I eye the store, looking for something else to do. "Eh, she just… slacks off. Often. And you know, she's not really from around here." I answer hesitantly. Ms. Fey laughs.

"Don't you know how strange the types of villagers we get around here? It seems they come from all around the world." I instantly think of Nay Wan. How odd he would have stuck out around here. The color of his fur, his body type. Well, thinking of the other villagers around here, maybe he would have fit right in.

The bell of the door rings, and a cloaked being walks in. He seems about Tigress' height.
"Welcome! How may I help you?" Ms. Fey says behind me.

His voice was hoarse. "I'm looking for Tigress. Some tell me she lives around here."

"She lives in house sixteen right outside of town." I chip in. "Why?"

The figure turns to me and reveals his face. Definitely a type of tiger.

"Don't think that's much of your business." He says, with hints of anger in his voice. I remember now.

Thylacine. A Tasmanian tiger. A type of tiger that should be completely killed out. But yet, here's one right in front of me.

"Well, actually it is if-" But he leaves out the door before I could finish.

Alright, that's it for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed. I have actually a couple of stories to tend to (some of you know this) And I've just been crazy busy. But don't worry, I have nothing but time today. I think I'll put up another chapter in a day or two if things go alright. Thanks for reading!
