Tamiko The Tiger Princess

Meeting the One Tail

(Baby Lily in Stage 1 Mode)

In a moment we stood at the gate Lily purring in my arms. I changed into my ANBU clothing cutting off the stomach piece to show more of my stomach and ripped up the front of my pants. My long black hair was pulled back as my wolf mask was on my face.

Senji stood next to me leaning against the pole.

"So Senji?" I asked curiously.

"Hmm" he responded.

" Is there a chance I can see your face?" I asked curiously. It got tense before I looked up at him through my mask. He didn't respond he didn't say a word.

"Mi Lady they are near," Lily said hopping out my arms.

From distant 3 figures came into View. An older woman with 4 spiked pigtails, another boy with purple face paint and spiked hair at the top carrying another figure on his back, a smaller boy with red hair and black rings around his eyes came into view he had the Kage hat attached.

I closed my eyes feeling myself being pulled to the Tailed beast.

" I haven't seen one of you in many years" I looked up to the well know One-Tailed Beast. Shikaku.

"My clan has been slaughtered it's only me now left in this world," I spoke to him his host not able to see our conversation.

Shikaku watched enticed " The Clan of Wolves and Tigers, Your clan specialized in keeping the tailed beast at bay. Maybe this trip wasn't as bad as I thought." He grumbled.

' I have read many tails about the Tailed beast each one has the good and bad." He hummed in appreciation.

"Then as you know Princess, Every Tailed Beast had a mate in your clan." He smiled with his dark raccoon eyes. Before I could get a word out, I was pulled back to reality.

"Hello there! We're here from Suna. Lady Tsunade did not have to send ANBU back on our journey."The older boy says as he approaches the guards at the gate.

"Hello, I am Senji and This is Tora. We will be accompanying you to the Village for your safety ." Senji said behind his mask. I could tell they all felt uncomfortable.

"I am Temari, this is my brother Kankuro and this is The Kazakage Lord Gaara." She said Gaara looked at both of us not able to see my eyes.

"Pleasure are you all ready for your journey?" I asked them they all nodded before Senji moved in front.

"Alright, we are going to take the wooded forest till we get to the end where the forest meets the sand."

We all nodded. Before hiking our bags up more. Senji decided to take lead while I was to anchor in the back.

"Lily" I looked down to the white tiger as her blue eyes looked up to me. "Transform" I whispered as blue started to wrap around her. She doubled in size now standing above my hip.

I could see the shocked eyes of everyone as I pet her head hopping on top.

"Ready." I called to Senji. Gaara eyes lingered as we started to move forward.

"Would you like to take a Ride Lord Kazekage?" I could see a slight hint of red hit his cheeks as he shook his head.

"You Humans as strange Mi Lady" Lily spoke to me I nodded my head acknowledging her comment.
