A T-shirt, pants, shoes…that's about it. Kumi looked at the junk she pulled out of her closet with satisfaction. 'Yep, this'll do!' As a Shinobi, the young woman bound to the spirit of the Kitsune was very neat and immaculate with everything. Considering she had the most hair and fur to deal with upon transforming, cleanliness was viciously enforced in every aspect of her training, and as her tails grew in number over the years, 9 in total as of last year, Kumi had learned to be quite the neat freak. And as with any fox, grooming was a top priority, and after her sensei -may he rest in peace, damn the Mavericks to hell- made sure her and Testicles didn't embarrass themselves by cleaning their bodies like how their namesakes did, she was taught how to use many cleaning solutions and techniques. As a result, the simple clothing on her bed -a white t-shirt, some pants she found in her closet- were spic and span, and the fresh smell of ironed clothes delightfully met her nose.

Her weapons closet was just cleaned 3 hours ago, and each and every one of her blades was polished to a reflective shine, the closet they were in dust free, meaning she had the whole day to herself. She went to the mirror checking out her bod and giving herself a thumbs up with a smile.

"Lookin' good!" And smellin' good! Nasal training was a must with how her fox chakra interacted with her senses, and thanks to her late sensei's help she had the perfect amount of perfume on to make it not unbearable to be around people, especially a bunch of sweaty older ninjas, but the perfume also doesn't make everyone run away from her like she had the specter of death hanging around.

Her spirit, the kitsune, also gave her some very nice benefits too, like her knee-length hair/fur. She didn't really know which it was until senpai used his visor to perform a 'DNA Scan' or whatever, and even he couldn't figure it out, but the point is that it was shiny, sleek, and soft to the touch. Like most depictions of the mystical fox, her hair was a light orange bordering on gold, and combined with her ruby red eyes and somewhat lighter skin, she had often been mistaken for a foreigner during her and her friend's 'banishment' 8 years back.

Her body? Bangin. Her tits? Rockin. Her tits were big, both a perfect 87cm, and bigger than Testicles tiny knockers by 1 centimeter, and they got aaaaaallllll the attention when she walked in the room, especially if Testicles was with her. Granted, she wasn't going to reciprocate much of said attention, but she loved it all the same! Seeing as her window was just right beside the mirror, it allowed her to quickly exit her home with a perfect backflip onto the streets. She'd land with style, completely unnecessary, but it looked kickass!

"OW!"

"DAMN IT!"

Aaand it was ruined. She landed right on top the one person she didn't want to deal with, a certain black haired brunette in pigtails, whose head was currently being used as Kumi's footrest. "What the hell, Testicles?! You ruined a perfect flip!"

'Testicles', AKA MIsato, suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke, and reappeared right in front of Misato, nursing her head. "Who jumps out of a three story window?" She growled angrily.

"Me!" Kumi proclaimed, pointing to herself. "I do! Until 'you' ruined it!" Kumi and Misato did not get along. At all. Shockingly enough was that their inner tanuki and kitsune, rivals in the mystical world on par with cats and dogs, neither increased or manipulated their disdain for each other, they just didn't like each other that much, at least that's what they'd say if you asked them. Whereas Kumi was well, as you saw, Misato was far more reserved, and it showed in the way she dressed, a modest, forest green dress over a white, short sleeved shirt. Her hair was done in finely combed pigtails, but a certain teammate of hers ruined hours of hard work! Her dark brown eyes angrily met Kumi's equally fierce glare, and this would be the part where their energies would visibly flare up as sparks would shoot from their eyes. "You got something to say, Testicles?"

"I don't know, do you have something to say?" But that was before a certain senpai and his Shikigami weeded that behavior out of them as fast as he could. They were on the run back then, and alien seal or not, two kids cussing and beating the crap out of each other was going to attract attention from people other than the ones hunting them down. "Like an apology, maybe? If you spent more time learning manners then you did grooming those giant flea-ridden-"

"-Bitch, don't you dare talk about my tails like that!" So in lieu of their old tussles, they settled for verbal conflict, a few feet away from each other, hands not within striking distance of one another, became their go-to for conflict resolution. Senpai had this look of utter disappointment that just…grated on them in the worst possible way, all five of them. "My tails are flawless!" And that wasn't even getting into what his Shikigami would do if they pissed him off too much. "Unlike your giant ass raisins, .ki, mine are soft to the touch!"

Misato turned red from embarrassment, her teeth gnashing in anger. "I don't have testicles you stupid bitch!"

"Then you're not a real Tanuki then, right?!" Kumi scoffed. "Have some pride in yourself! I'm a powerful Kitsune-: She summoned two of her tails and held them in her hands. "As you can see." She then dismissed them, giving Misato a smug grin. "Then again, I understand why you don't wanna show off what you got." That 'pitying', smug grin was making Misato feel very punch happy at the moment. "I mean, it makes sense. If I had nuts as big as yours, I'd hide them from the public too."

"I DON'T HAVE TESTICLES!"

"Yes you do Tanuki!"

"Fuck you!"

"Yeah I bet you want to, huh?!"

"I-" Misato blinked. All the tension in the area evaporated as the grin on Kumi's face slowly morphed to one of embarrassment and humiliation. It should be noted that there were a few dozen people on the road going about their merry way, many of whom learned early on to just ignore the two bickering children. Not out of fear of course, god no. weak as they were, they'd face worse than two idiots who hadn't realized they just needed to bang to get over their problems. No, the reason is because even with the Matter Wave integration into the village, very few of its residents actually watched TV or used electronics in their life in the outside world.. "-What did you say?" And for Shinobi who forsook electronic media to come here, seeing these two idiots fight was a good morning show before their favorite programs came on the air.

"I said-" Kumi began, before her face turned red. "God damn it!" Oh shit, this..this…! "L-look, let's just go meet Yu-chan, ok."

"Y-yeah…I..don't…. want her to come looking for us." And so the two friends awkwardly left, not looking at each other as they walked towards the rendezvous point. "He really took the fun out of this, didn't he?" Misato asked with reddened cheeks, not looking at Kumi.

"Yeah…" Kumi muttered embarassedly.
