The meeting with the village leaders had gone fairly well, with the Hanakage and council being called for the citizenship testing after a short interview with interrogation about her intentions. The testing itself had been simple enough for Jessica: provide proof that she was who she claimed to be, supply blood samples for testing, and fill out paperwork. Altogether it had taken three days to become a citizen of Nadeshiko Village, two of which were spent in the hospital so Jessica and Leo could be given vaccinations and full examinations.

Now that Jessica and Leo were full citizens of Nadeshiko Village they had to find housing, as the temporary housing provided to all new village members only lasted a month. Being one of the few civilians in the village of almost pure ninjas was a task, as there were few places run by civilians that would hire a civilian, and housing requires money, which required a job.

"Fuck me side ways, this is fucking hard as balls!" Jessica screamed at the sky as she was turned away from another store. "That is the fucking third one today, and I am running out of options. Damn it I need some mother-fucking money, and prostitution is not looking like a profitable option." The frustrated woman only had two more shops she could check out as the week of job hunting had shrunk her original list quickly.

"Can't steal from ninjas, too risky, and if I steal from the stupid-as civilians then I might get caught, damn those mother-fuckers and there ninja powers." Jessica only had two and a half weeks left of free housing before she either had to get out or pay rent, and damn it all she was not making any money. The ninja's wouldn't hire a civilian to watch their kids; she had asked and then was then promptly told that it was the husband's job to watch kids when the women had missions.

This was the main dilemma, the men had the 'normal' jobs and all the women were ninjas, it was annoying for Jessica who wanted a 'normal' job. Stomping back to her small apartment she began to mull over her options. No shop would hire her right now, and most other public services or jobs required ninja statues, and damn it all Jessica was too old and nowhere close to being able to become a ninja.

Entering her apartment Jessica was greeted by the site of Leo wrestling with a hyper Miso, both of them rolling around on the carpet.

"Leo, stop teasing Miso and finish your match, we have some things to discuss."

Jessica was happy to find that Leo was not stupid or stunted too bad from his previous abuse, and was quite a clever child; he just had some strange speech impediments. The little boy absorbed everything she said and was able to hold one sided conversations with the woman, with the brunette being the one talking.

"Now Leo, I need to find a job, but if I can't I will need you to start upping your cute factor, 'cause begging is my next option if I can't find a damn job soon. Do you think you can start working on your puppy eyes? Good just look at Miso if you can't get it right. Now about food …" The conversation went like this for close to an hour, with Jessica using Leo as a sounding board for her ideas and plans.

The next morning Jessica began to walk to the school she had seen earlier, hoping they would hire her, even without ninja statues. The building itself was plain, with two stories and shaped like a horseshoe, with the play-yard in the center or the 'u' and an entrance on the other side of the building. Colored in a washed out beige over rough brick, the building looked as old as it was.

"Hello, I am wondering if you have any open positions for a civilian." Jessica asked the woman with short auburn hair at the front desk in the entrance of the school building.

"We usually don't hire civilians, have you checked the shops in the market?"

"Yes, none of them had any positions open, I have a child and he will begin school and I would like to get a feel of what that will be like for him."

"Oh, how old is he?"

And on the small talk went, with Jessica wheedling information out of the woman as she gushed about Leo. After many minutes of this the woman seemed to be wavering about not hiring Jessica. Now was the time to strike.

"It is just so sad," Jessica sniffed out, "Soon my temporary housing will run out, and I have no savings, my last ryo used to feed little Leo, with no job he may starve to death, or freeze in the middle of the night. Are you sure there are no positions available?" She knew she was laying it on thick, but god damn it she needed a job.

I-I will ask my superior." Chocked out the woman, she was tearing up from Jessica's 'heartfelt' display.

Soon the superior came out and heard Jessica's story, and was moved enough by her act that the strict looking woman seemed to be considering Jessica's ability to work.

"Do you have any specialties?" Barked out the woman.

"Yes, what do you need in a teacher?"

"We need someone to teach the second to fourth years P.T. Can you do that?"

"Physical Training, yes I can do that"

"Good, P.T. includes strength, endurance, cardio, meditation, weapons, and stealth depending on the age group."

With that, and a small mountain of paper work Jessica had a job teaching brats to be ninjas. Joy.
