Kideme had been....busy. Ever since the Chunin Tiatsu had expressed his thoughts on how she should approach her career as a ninja or a rising entertainer, she had been thinking hard on what she should do and how. She knew that deep down in her heart and in Mame's eyes, Kideme would never be a geisha, but that didn't mean she couldn't be something similar to that. So when Tiatsu had offered to serve as a test dummy for her practice geisha or showgirl moves, it had gotten the wheels turning in her head. She had forgotten that in addition to having the geisha and oiran on staff at the teahouse, they had showgirls. They were the happy medium of exuding eccentric exotics and hyper-feminity of being a geisha or an oiran, and Kideme knew if that with it being such an esoteric, niche attraction, she could easily corner it if she worked hard to get good. As an investment and to see what it would take, she took Tiatsu up on his offer, and though it was extremely awkward, cringey, and all sorts of wrong, Kideme had a new goal to work toward.

That being said, Kideme was in her room dancing and putting on a show for Ninny, Cat-bomb, and Wormie Jr., the stuffed moth and kitten that Shien and Ayame gave her from a carnival they visited. Tiatsu may not have been the nicest critic with her first presentation, but she used his bluntness as a springboard to practice. So she was dancing around in her room on her tiptoes with a wig and oversized kimono when Haden, their in-house kimono designer came in with her letter.

"Seeeennnnn-bon sakuraaaaa yourruuuu maiiite! Kondeee yon tsubaku-raiiite! La la la la....- Hi." She froze in the middle of  a butt-shakin' shimmy as Haden stood in the door frame, just staring. The letter in his raised was half raised, but thinking nothing of his reaction she took it from his and shooed him out.

~Outside her bedroom door.~ "That child could probably scare the hokage into submission...." Haden said while walking away.

"I HEARD THAT!" Kideme howled through the door while plopping down on her bed with her toys and holding up the letter to read. "Oooh, it's a letter from Sexy Lady! I miss her...." She trailed off while reading. It seemed that they had a mission in the morning and Kideme kicked up her arms and legs whooping happily. "I can be the Pink Lady in the Grass again! C'mon Ninny! We have to get ready." Rolling off her bed and stripping off her robe and wig, she glanced around for the doll, who was actually being used as a pillow by two stray kittens. Carefully picking each one up, she put the kittens with their parent and siblings cats on the half-built cat post she and Shien had been working on over time.

"Onetwothreefourfive....onetwothreefourfive...onetwothreefourfive..." She counted aloud to herself while piling some food she packed into a scroll, as well as some bottled water and other tidbits. Kideme didn't know just how long a long trip would be but she hoped she packed enough and after a quick bath, it was off to bed for her.

The next morning, she awoke at 5 am and dressed into her now default pink kimono jacket with black shorts, black jika-tabi and her okobo. She looked at her stuffed moth and kitten placed a paper seal over both their soft tummies. "Bye bye Cat-bomb and Wormie Junior. Mommy and Daddy are going off to pay the bills. Be sure to protect the children." She said while looking over at the cats who were all still asleep in the post. That was apart from Shin, who as always slept on her pillow with her. With that, she went off to have a little breakfast.

Not long after, Kideme came running toward the village gates with Ninny in her arms right as the clock struck 5:40. "Brown Morning Sexy Lady and Shinny-poo! I'm not late am I?!" She looked between them nervously while catching her breath.
