Suddenly Earning money is all he had become good at. The six foor seven lumbering mountain of a man had been reduced to petty jobs. Not to say that this was in any way a bad thing, frankly he was way better off doing this than fighting with dangerous people. It just seemed strange that this master of the martial arts had been reduced to the role of house maid. He actually took much solace in the basic cleaning and fixing of household objects. After helping someone he always found himself a few more zeni in hand.
He got fifty zeni alone for his work on a farm just outside of central. He had milked the cows, gathered the eggs, and just had a pretty fun time picking up around the barn. He had always enjoyed that job on the compound, dealing with the animals. Animals were pretty easy to please. They were nervous until you gained their trust, and usually were not naturally malicious. Cows trusted pretty easily as did broken horses.

Another seventy five had come from a pretty basic delivery job. He had only stopped to get water and found that the person nice enough to assist him was in need of a transport. That hardly took any effort on his part considering the location had been only a few miles out of the way of central. If anything it was an excuse to walk by the creek during sunset. An amazing view.
His hardest actual job so far had been helping a couple rearrange their furniture, this was difficult because both were too old to assist him and they were moving large furniture. The chairs weren't bad, and with a good grip the table was find. But around the time that he was single handedly carrying the couch and grand piano his back began to hurt. With a little persiverance, and tylenol, the job got done, and he was another five zeni richer.

Yeah that was only five zeni but he hadn't done it for the money anyway. He hoped that his life would never become so worthless that he lived it solely to see how much money he could obtain. He was concerned however that he had been so long away from training. This thought was quickly shirked away as it occurred to him that once he arrived for the tournament and gained entrance he would have access to the legendary weight room. A dream of his had been to outmatch an opponent in every aspect of the gym, and he hopefully would see that dream fulfilled at one point in his life.
He wasn't even sure what he was getting paid for this job. It didn't concern him in the least. He was just glad to be helping out.
Flush
Taking off the now sticky rubber gloves he looked over his handy work. He had really done wonders to the bathroom of this family. No longer would they be worried about the sanitary conditions in which they were living. And no longer would Kit had to wonder what his payment would be. It was time to collect on this crap job!

The toilet cleaning hadn't been his least favorite job though. There was always something worse to be done. His next job entailed the hunting and skinning of animals which wasn't all that terrible considering he had done it a dozen times while working on the compound. The unfortunate part of this job was the actual killing of the animals. He had always hunted large bucks from the forest or wolves when the season was right, but this client wanted smaller animals. Squirrels, foxes, rabbits. The thought was really bothersome for Saito who really enjoyed the company of smaller animals. He almost felt as though he could communicate with the animals.
No...not almost.
He could in fact talk to them. Without speaking a word he felt their pain and their fear. Its actually how he drew them in. He would call out and sure enough the small animals would come. It wasn't until this job that he realized these animals were not just in the area, they would travel a great distance when he called. Calling out for a fresh rabbit brought him one from the bushes, followed by several smaller ones. He wasn't certain how, but he felt as though the rabbits were communicating with him, telling him how dangerous this part of the forest was.
Kit didn't realize it, but it was actually his Ki enabling him to communicate with the animals around him. Even in the time of Son Goku animal communication was common with the pure of heart. Gohan was known for befriending small animals and even dragons, while Goku received his information from small birds all the time. This was rarely seen with darker individuals whom were less in tune with nature. It was their Ki energy and light hearted loving nature that drew these animals trustingly in. The animals recognized the warriors as loving creatures themselves and would not show any fear.
Unfortunately now was absolutely the time to show fear. Kit was responsible for killing and skinning these animals, but as his mind communicated further with the small creature he found it impossible to raise his knife to them. Actually he found it impossible to kill any of the critters he called out to. The chipmunk, fox, squirrel, rabbits, and even gophers were all too innocent for him to justify killing. He even began to regret his past of slaughtering deer. Suddenly his entire view of the animal world was shifting. While he understood that animals needed to die in order to fulfill their purpose, he became far more understanding of them. He knew that in the future should he hunt again he would certainly hunt older animals and avoid the woman and children just as he did in combat. He would fight those capable of fighting back, only carnivors or omnivores. He would try and speak with them first...and if he could he would eat fish...
They couldn't communicate with him.
"My dear forest brethren. I swore to this man I would return to him with a dozen small mammal hides. I never go back on my word, but how could I possibly raise a fist to you?"
The animals were concerned by this news, but none of them fled. They knew that Saito would not trick them. If he was going to harm them he would tell them, he would make it at least somewhat fair. But this would require serious thought. He would either go back on his deal with the hunter, or harm his new found forest friends. It was then that the rabbit communicated something to the human. His ears twitches, his tail shook, and in an instant Kit understood. A pack of wolverines were nearby, the perfect chance to take on a small mammal that could fight back, and ones that if left unchecked would ultimately kill his new friends anyway.
Taking off down a dirt trail it was only a matter of minutes before the snarls of the small creatures could be heard. Their teeth bared and ready for combat it was as though Kit were fighting a human of the same nature. His own mind seemed one with the animals around him. He felt the fear of the squirrel and the resentment of the rabbit whom had lost her young to the pack. Suddenly his guilt faded and he felt as though he were staring down a thug or evil human being. He wasn't. Instead he was looking down the face of the natural worlds evil. It existed everywhere and these animals needed a hero. Kit would be that hero. As the wolverines leapt forward they were met with a powerful and resistant fist. Each strike nearly killing the creature on impact. Kit wasn't one to kill unless it was necessary, but he felt the suffering of the creatures around him and knew this to be the right thing to do, and also the best medium to solve his own conundrum. After a few minutes his need for physical violence faded, and he was safe, as were his friends.
Turning to face the group of furry critters he found instead what had to be the largest wolf he had ever seen. Its deep silver fur glistened through the sunlight that bled over the tree line. Each hair seemed sharp as it stood on end, and the deep yellow eyes were piercing through his own. It was only a wolf, and Saito had killed dozens before, but this one seemed different. Now that his ability to communicate had risen to a new degree it almost felt as though the wolf was speaking to him.
"Brother, you are truly a creation of the universe. As we all are. Your respect for those that are non violent is admirable. Return to me when you have found purpose, and I will teach you the ways of nature."
Saito couldn't believe what he was hearing...or rather feeling. The wolf wasn't speaking, he was in fact not speaking at all, yet the words came out crystal clear. He wasn't sure what purpose he was meant to find. But he would find it and most definitely return. Bagging up the remaining wolverines and returning to the hunter it was both a marvelous pay day and one of enlightenment. He had learned to speak with his fellow universal creatures, and also gotten one step closer to obtaining the much needed training equipment he had been missing from the compound.
