E-Rank: Toys for Orphans

---

"I want fish," Shirayuki whined from atop Kaien's head. She'd been hungry ever since morning, but Kaien hadn't fed her yet since he'd been too exhausted after yesterday's training session. His body was still sore after pushing himself to exhaustion. Even now as he made his way to the convenient store, he was still healing. "Sorry Shirayuki," Kaien said, remembering the cat. "Have some cat nip until I can get you some more fish." Shirayuki jumped at the idea of cat nip, meowing happily. After giving the cat a bit of cat nip, she was in her drunken state again, meowing lazily.

Now that she was nice and happy, Kaien could get back to his current task. Entering the store, Kaien would come out with bags full of supplies as he began to make his way back home. He was supposed to be on a mission, making toys for orphans. However, he'd need supplies to do something like that. When he finally got back home, Kaien would greet his parents before showing them the supplies and explaining the situation. "I want to make stuffed animals for them," he said quietly, "fashioned after the cats. I also want to make...a-" He stopped there as he began to blush.

His father simply smiled and gave Kaien a reassuring pat on the head. "Sounds like a great idea," he said. "Can you round up the cats Tatsumaki?" Kaien's mother nodded before turning to run through the clan grounds. Kaien's father offered to stay and help him with making the toys, but Kaien decided that it was best if he completeted the mission alone. Taking out his supplies, Kaien would put down the still drunken Shirayuki as he began to make a stuffed animal in her likeness. By the time he was done, the catnip had worn off and Shirayuki was sleeping soundly.

Tatsumaki would return a while later with all the cats of the clan. Having them stand like like models, Kaien would begin to make toys as fast as he could. It took a while, but Kaien eventually finished by nightfall. Yawning, Kaien would decide to take a nap before giving the orphans their toys.

The next day, Kaien would walk into the orphanage and hand each child a small stuffed animal. Unfortunately, there were some who didn't want the stuffed animals. Luckily, Kaien had been prepared for this and made a second set of toys. They were basically white wands with tops in the shape of paws. These would make good multi purpose toys. Seeing the happy smiles of the orphans, Kaien blushed and smiled too, glad to see they were satisfied.
