"Here, Whiskers! Come on out!" Ko had been tasked with the finding of a lost cat, one of the simpler missions to be given out to people. The Academy Students always got stuck with this kind of job, and in general it just wasn't something that anyone would consider fun. Still, it was a job that was tasked specifically to Ko, so he would do his best in carrying out the mission. He search high and low, looking in back alleys and in dumpsters for the lost cat 'Whiskers'. The client had said that he was a sleek black cat, the kind that would always get into trouble. This was the fifth time he'd run away, she said, and that last time this happened he didn't come home for a week. She looked distraught when she told him all of this, but perhaps things were a bit too perfectly laid out? Something seemed off when she'd said everything, but Ko didn't mention it then. He calmly and methodically searched the area she told him he might have been in, which was a pretty wide area around her home in the Seki District.
As he walked around, he noticed a cat was there that didn't have a collar on. He matched the description—was that him? The cat hadn't spotted him, so the kid started to rush the creature. Without turning its head, though, the cat sidestepped Ko's flight path. What the heck? The way the cat moved was a little odd, too. What the heck was going on? As the cat started to run away, Ko determined that he didn't want the thing getting away from him. He threw a handful of kunai just in front of it, halting the cat in its tracks. At that moment Ko managed to catch up, grabbing hold of the creature. As he did, something immediately seemed to be wrong: this cat didn't feel like a cat at all. It was wood? The young boy looked even closer, and he say that, at several points on the cat's body, there were strands of what looked like chakra attached to it! What the heck?
The young boy confronted the client about this. "Oh, well, you see..." She was nervous. She was hiding something. Unfortunately for her, though, there was no way for her to talk her way out of this one. "Okay, fine...this isn't really my cat. It's my puppet. I'm a puppeteer, you see, and I was just trying to have a bit of fun with it..." Good grief. Ko was trying hard to keep his face composed, but it was really hard to do so in this circumstance. Ko took his reward money, went home, and spent the next hour coming to terms with the fact that he'd been had all day long for this woman's pleasure. He needed a shower or something to wash this uneasy feeling off of him. What a nut job.
