After several weeks of laying low, Kideme was finally able to resurface. With much thanks to her allied connection to the retired Bear mask that was Koju Hayashi, damage control took effect. Although the motion has yet been written and executed, a cold trail and an empty but heavily damaged tea house put the KPD in quite the embarrassing predicament. Whether the fact that Kideme was framed, arrested by an intern under another officer's badge, and or having one of the most highly influential hot spots sustain such high damage was the most damning of it all was up for anyone's debate. Nevermind that the true suspect in question had yet to be apprehended.

All that being said though, the tea house was finally authorized to open back up for business once all the repairs had been made. And at the full expense of the KPD for making such a ruckus to a registered village landmark. It took some time, but between the scandal and intrigue of all that had transpired, Kideme was able to still resume business at the gambling den and most of the tea house's public floor.

But during all that time in between hiding, Kideme had been taking sojourn in Tiatsu's house. Or, as it was now officially recognized... her house. Although still in mourning for her lost love, and wracked with guilt over other things she was slowly healing. Very slowly. And so to cope with her grieving, she took to training and creating. Once things were settled in the courts though, and Kideme was able to freely roam....she saw the flyer.

At first glance, she thought to herself...never again. The images she had seen still haunted her thoughts, and it didn't help that an old from that had been reopened upon her unruly escape from prison. However, Kideme also knew that for the greater good of her village, her unending curiosity and the strive to commemorate the memory of Tiatsu and all the ninja who gave their lives....she would go.

Some more time would pass and when came the day that she would deport, she was leaving the tea house to make a quick trip home. The tea house had been restored to its former glory in record time, and while most of her staff made a full return, Mame did not. For one reason or another, Kideme's mother was nowhere to be found when the time came, so when Kideme came in to drop off the cats for care, it was her gay father, Yasu, that she'd left in charge.

Kideme only came home long enough to pack her things and to pray at her newly built family shrine. Within it were relics and pictures that belonged to her late father, his sister, Kideme's grand and great-grandparents, and most importantly...her beloved. His eyes, a few photographs, and the chest he left her were housed there. After praying to them for strength and wisdom, she set out for the armada.

Having been the only survivor among the civilian level shinobi who went all the way to reprise her role to serve, Kideme could honestly say that they really stepped up their game! The trip to the wildlands had almost just about cut in half and the monsters they'd dealt with were dispatched with near relative ease. Just like before, while on the boat, Kideme scarcely appeared and only did so one they touched foot upon land.

The beach they ported at was the same as the one from before, and she now looked around. Her heart was heavy but her mind was clear and her gears grinding at the ready. Waiting, and watching.... What would she and the others be in for this time around?
