I hummed as I walked; Kei curled up above my head. I decided to have him rest up for a while I walked around-for old times' sake, you know? I smiled sadly as I approached the skinny tree top that had protruded through the sand when I was just a child. It had gotten a bit taller, but it still had the signature branch pattern. As I got closer I also saw the small not grandpa had written so I always knew it was this tree. 'Grandpa loves you Suki; keep shooting for the stars and one day you'll be more important than the moon. Don't forget it.'

I let a single tear slip and smiled lightly, he was family to me, blood or not. 'I miss you grandpa...' I thought and nuzzled the tree. The movement must've woken Kei up; I could feel him slither to the top of my head. "What's that?" he asked.

I smiled sadly, "This is where grandpa and I would often stay. This was basically our home." I mumbled.

"Grandpa? You had family here?" he questioned.

I shook my head lightly, making sure he didn't fall. "We weren't blood, but we were basically a family. He took care of me and protected me. He taught me a lot of things and trained me to be strong." I answered gloomily.

"... Were..." he said, already knowing what that meant.

I nodded. "He's gone. He was killed while trying to protect me one day... And from then on I was on my own. I still haven't found his killer yet, but that's my life goal. I refuse to die until I kill him." I responded, another tear falling, but with that tear was a renewed promise.

I will find him. And I will kill him.

I felt Kei slither down my head and then wrap himself around my neck, curling around it a couple times before stopping himself and holding his neck up to read the short note. He then looked up at me. "You two must've been close... I'll help however I can." He said and nodded.

I smiled and started to walk away. "Let's get you back home. Then we can go hunting and get you leveled up~" I said in a sing song voice as I started walking away. I felt Kei nod and wrap himself around my neck once more and laid his head on top of my neck. I smiled then remembered 'home'. I stopped and then smiled, walking back over to the tree with a small bounce in my step. I put the tip of my tail to a couple inches below the note. I started sawing at the crystal and soon enough the tree was about to snap off.

I pulled out another tail and grabbed the crystal tree and sawed off the last bit that held it together. With that I had the note and the small pattern of branches that signaled it was the correct tree. I smiled and continued to walk away, this time with the branch held in my tail.

Soon enough I was sick of walking and it was nearing dark. I tried to tap into the dimension thing and after a good half hour I figured out how the hell you open it and started to form my reiatsu in front of me. It was pretty damn crumbly in the beginning, but I improved with every step-mainly because I almost died multiple times.

Soon enough we were in the Menos forest but I had no clue where. I sighed and started walking, it was even darker here. It wasn't really a problem, I had damn good vision, but it was irritating. I sighed and started walking, sniffing the air for a whiff of a scent that I knew. I couldn't find any, but of course.

I sighed and continued to walk, deciding if I was going to be stuck here I would at least keep my energy high. Well, it was smart of me to keep my energy high because I soon ran into a hoard of Menos. I scowled and snarled lowly at their incessant screeching. One fired a cero directly at me and I easily dodged. That set off all of the other hollows and I was attacked with an onslaught of ceros.
