Jojo’s eyes would narrow as she would arrive back into the village after her last mission, a B-rank mission just prior had left her extremely tired due to the fact she had to face so many opponents and kill all of them. Her main focus for now was her friend Genesis, how was she doing in the exams? Was she winning, losing, worried, anxious, or even nervous? So many things and she could not even watch Genesis’s preliminary match because she had the mission to go through. Her body carried the numerous headbands of all the ninja that attacked her and these headbands were of a village she did not recognize however, it mattered little to her.

Jojo would pop her neck as she would drop off the numerous headbands of the ninja she killed to the council of missions and sighed when they handed her a paper, it was a date listed for tomorrow and Jojo would have to go there and be briefed on her mission. Indeed that would be interesting enough however she did not care, sleep was the priority at the moment. Her bones ached, which was just awkward given how she was a Kaguya clansmen.

Jojo left though with envelope in hand and a new payment as her eyes would trail around and focus on those that which covered her mentality. Her lips solidly forming a straight line as she would move towards her own recognition of home. A small apartment that meant very little and held very little value in terms of monetary means. The room exactly how she left it though, except for a letter from a bird that dropped itself into her room. She would get some bird feed and then hand feed the little bird while noting the letter as she ignored it for a time.

It was not until after the bird was fed that she read the letter. A shriek from her lips when she read the letter, her friend had won her preliminary exam and the handwriting, she was most certain it was Genesis’s as well. Her eyes scanned the letter for more, but there was no more to it and even though that displeased her… Wait how could she be displeased at all? Her friend had won the first step to the exam so there should not be any more to worry about in such terms of tests.

Therefore, with all being said and done Jojo would smile and sleep, happy that the letter she had first neglected to read had happened to be something she should have read right away. “Oh well, she will just have to forgive me if she ever finds out about it,” Jojo would say to herself before finally sleeping, passing out with a special glance through her eyes. Such a good day from bad to good, the day had ended brilliantly and that was all that mattered to Jojo as she would change into her pajamas and enjoy the rest of that night.

Jojo dreamed of someone, someone with long white hair and very pale skin, and albino of sorts with red eyes who was ripping individuals to shreds. These individuals were very young, children as it would seem and Jojo could tell some familiarities about the girl who ripped children to shreds. The superficial significance as she would look back at Jojo. Her eyes looking at her who had dark eyes, but that face, the face of someone she knew as Jojo would growl lightly, she could not believe someone so familiar could do such a thing while in this dark realm of dreamscape.

Jojo awoke though when the demonic beast that inherited the body of her friend escaped and that cry, the cry of her friend shrieking when Jojo got a bird’s eye view of the dream. Jojo was decapitated and the scream of Genesis filled the dreamscape while the beast had harvested a new body and managed to do indescribable and tainting acts in front of the girl that she… The deadly dream that awoke Jojo in a cold sweat, middle of the night as it was as she would be breathing heavily, her clothing soaked in her sweat.

She would merely put on a small tee and shorts and walk about outside. This was in its entirety something she could not allow to happen, she would always live because her friend’s screams would forever haunt her now, and those screams she hoped to never come true as she just hoped they would never come true. Jojo would shake her head and focus, this early in the morning no one was outside as she would walk, until an unfathomable thing occurred, a kunai thrown strait at her as she would twist and kick it aside with a unique kick.

The kunoichi’s kick hit the handle of the kunai and as it twisted more in to her other side she caught it and began to hold it as more kunai came down upon her. Deflecting these she would glare lightly and her eyes would focus before she found the one, a throw of the kunai and she would find that the kunai she threw had struck home, a body falling down to the earth as the kunai had pierced deep into their throat, severing the tendons and filling their lungs with blood. Jojo would look at the body that fell, no telling what affiliation they were with.

“So what exactly was that about? And just who are you?” She would wonder as she would search the body, the death of a ninja like this would cause few repercussions of the life as it would seem though she did not mind it at all, why would she care? All she had to do was know that she had to put the body in a place safe before the children came out. The blood on the ground was not going to be a problem due to the jungle floor, however everything else will be recognizable as she shook her head.

Jojo would lead her footing forwards and begin rushing around to keep her eyes forward as she would only know what there was to do from this moment on. It was something to keep in mind as she lifted the dead body and begin to shuttle herself to the body research and development room. They always needed more bodies and this body should prove useful as she would drop it off for them before returning to the day as she looked to the sky, the sun at its rising peak as well.

Jojo’s body would move forwards, to the rendezvous point of the mission as she would look about with courteous eyes with which she viewed and noted just how interesting this person was to her. Her eyes looking and watching with her eyes narrowing and her body moving briskly as she entered the grounds, the mansion itself was different and she would only look around before three figures clad in black just started to attack with spears. Jojo would jump as the spears lunged inwards before she would then come crashing down onto them with her body lightly on the bones as her eyes looked at them.

“We kill all trespassers, prepare yourself,” They would say before Jojo would notice them bringing in swords with their unison words. The swords clashing against each other before Jojo would appear behind one of them. “If you wish to kill someone, know who they are first,” and with that one was down with a karate chop to his neck. Her eyes kept looking around with a casual grin about her lips as she would only smile happily with which she would roll her shoulder as she looked at the other two before the clashes rose in elevation in noise.

As she dropped the last body to the ground, no fatalities but shattered bones and unconscious bodies she would hear a clapping sound. “Congratulations Kaguya-dono. I do hope you are not troubled by my servants, but they were merely performing their duty. I am Miler and I have asked you here because I have very important documents for you to carry to a neighboring nobleman. Do realize that these documents are more important than your life and I want them to not be read except for the eyes of the other noble. Any questions?”

After a small second of silence, the man would clap his hands once and the document would come out, a manila folder filled with a paper of something yet Jojo would merely nod and say, “I promise that I will deliver it without any trouble at all.” With this, she would walk away, her body moving forwards with her eyes just watching the grounds around her as she would also notice that the bodies she dropped were gone, and with a look over she saw their bodies behind the noble, alive and well and yet their expressions were filled with pain.

“No doubt they won’t be getting a raise even though they should ask. I did beat them quite a bit,” she would think to herself with a slight giggle. Today should pass by without a hitch to her however, to some it is going to be a challenge. Her lips curling back into a smile as she would now make the façade of being completely happy. Jojo would notice things along her way though, small traps and such that should not belong as part of the scenery outside the village as her eyes looked around at the spectacle and with this, her neck popped.

Jojo had evade most of the traps with a giggle, such poorly laid traps could never have gotten her, even if they would have stuck a normal traveler though she would find herself in a fighting situation again. However, this time there were two of them and both of them seemed to have a unique fighting style. Their bodies had unmerged on the cellular level just to get to her surprise as she would note and then focus on them. Her eyes looking at them with a glare as she would lower her body in a dangerous stance.

“We just want the package, nothing else interests us,” The duo would say with a kindred smile to her lips as her eyes would notice all these details about these two as she would only glower her eyes and growl lightly. She would not allow the package to go anywhere from her body and these two individuals were not going to take it from her either, that was just what is was going to have to be for her. That was all there was to notice anyways about her and this strange duo filled with kekkei genkei.

Jojo would begin fighting, this duo and their strange kekkei genkei as they would be jumping into the body of the other and then leaking their bodies out of her as if to phase her. Yes, this definitely changed up her as she would form a single long strand, a lance like bone as she would begin lashing out at these fools. Her spear making home into one of their hearts before the other hand popped out of her body and ran off with the package. Her eyes going straight to him as she would growl and run after him, leaving the dead body behind.

“The jungle is my home,” She rehearsed with feet padding along the ground, “The jungle is a dangerous alcove, and I am its master!” She would say before her hand would come crashing down through the poor suckers skull. The bone crushing it as she would say, “Thank you very much, now die,” and with that she retracted her bone and took back the package as she would move out and head to the delivery point, where she would only greet with smiles and kindness before heading back to her own village. Along the way to her village, she would pick up the two bodies of her murdered foes and with them, she would carry them off and dissect them, learning their secrets before her return to the village.
