Chapter 2 - Fetus [It's Strange!]
I always read at 200% zoomed in, makes the chapter longer and I don't have to squint.
Latley I have been trying to figure out how old I am. I'm guessing around 7 or 8 weeks as I am starting to feel little drum stick things coming out of me. At week 7 the Embryo (AN: yes I realise that it should be embryo no fetus) sprouts tiny hands and feet, tiny earbuds grow and a small tail is visable from earlier development. The ear buds aren't useable yet and the tail disapears later. Week 8 is when the brain goes into rapid development plus the arms and legs are more developed. I'm most likely at 8 weeks but then again, I am abnormal. I Shall meditate on it.
Oummmmm~
----------
Meditating on the feel of your mothers heart beat is very relaxing. I say feel because I can't hear yet. Instead its like sensing vibrations, but much more intimate.
*Thump-thump, thump-thump*
Oummmmm~
Don't wanna leave.
----------
I can move! Most likely it's entering week 9 now. At this point the embryo can acctually be called a Fetus! The fetus is around the size of a grape fruit. The head is the same size as the body and the limbs move quite alot, but most women are unable to feel these movements at this stage.
Right now I am moving as much as possible. Since I'm the size of a grape there's no problem. I want my limbs to be strong. However it's not like I'm exhausting my self, I know the risks of overwork. There is a faint feeling, almost instinct, I get every time I recive food. It's like I've gained a stamina bar. I know how much I can work, and where my limits are, so I work to the limit. Well since I'm just a weird tadpole thing with arms I wasn't really sure where to start at first, thus I went with something you should always do before playing outside: stretches.
Basically just waving my limbs around and curling and straightening my body as much as possible.
When I get tired I meditate
Oummmmm~
----------
Ever done martial arts? Kung Fu? Kempo? Karate? Muay Thai?
I just realised I fought them all.
With the old personality fading I decided to look over my memories again and realised something shocking! I was strange! (Lululie is strange!) London is strange! And that "Karate" I did was also strange!
Firstly, was what I practised really Karate? Wasn't karate self defence, why did I have to learn how to sneak behind someone to take them down? Thats strange!
Whats worse is that pretty much all I learnt was usefull. London shouldn't be that dangerous right? What's with all the weirdos sneaking around at night? Although I probably count as one of the weirdos, BUT STILL! Has London become the new Jianghu or something? Thats strange!
I feel like I'm having a headache... even my stamina bar has dropped...
It's strange I tell you, super strange...
I need to meditate
Oummmmm~
----------
Back to the Martial arts. Ever heard the saying: Martial Arts temper the spine? No you haven't, I made it up.
But it is true.
My teacher told me I need to "feel" my spine if I want to do real martial arts., as he put it. The spine is connected to everything and connects everything. It is the supporting pillar of the body and what dictates you centre of gravity. Strong spine = strong stance = stong punch/kick/chop/block, is how he put it.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
To "feel" the spine you need to imagine a tail, a tail that extends from your spine. Then you need to straighten it to the limit, so that you hair stands on end and spine tingles. Thats the most basic requirements to having strong martial arts. Without it you only have stance without foundation. Or something like that
I just realised... I have a tail! A small tail is visable from earlier development, from back when I was a slug thing instead of a tadpole thing.
But it does not have much time left. Little thunder will disapear by week 10. I shall utilise you to the upmost effect Lil Thunder! You shall be remebered Corpral!
With my imaginary stamina bar full I start tensing and relaxing my foreign member in hope to feel my spine better.
That sounds dirty~

In the midst of fracnticly humping the inside of my mum's woumb with my tail day after day, it finnnnaaaaallllyyyy happened.
*Oumm*
You have gained a Skill

+1 Focus per level up
[Active]

[Meditating]:
+Defence to mental debuffs. Mind enters a calm state. Control over Spirit and Chackra increases. Outside world dulls.
Oh yeah... I was in Narutoverse wasn't I. Forgot about that.
Anyway the skill is a good thing, the [Meditating] buff should be benificial right now aswell; if the outside world further dulls then I can focus more on making my hair stand on end and spine tingle. Unfortunatly I haven't yet achived my desired results of my past life and Corpral Thunder has almost reached his end. The lack of success may be beacause I'm a fetus, BUT! I shall not let such an insignificant thing get in my way!
In my previous life it took almost a year to achieve the very basics at the age of 7, but I want to do it before I get birthed. This is not me fooling around or being sarcastic in anyway. I have experiance, knowledge and advantages I didn't have before like; the fact I'm in a woumb with nothing to distract me and the newly gained [Meditation] skill.
Once I Feel my spine I can then quickly open my pores and start pratising Taichi. But that would probably have to wait till after birth.
Now back to work
[Meditating]Oummmmm~
----------
Forgot to check before because I was cought up with the new skill, but when I did...
Status
Unable to view, you are a fetus
No dice unfortunatly.
[Meditating] Oummmmm~

It's a sad day when you lose something precious to you, it's almost like a limb has been torn off. So much left to do, left undone.
R.I.P Corpral Little Thunder
Press "F" to show respect
----------
Right now I'm in week 10, and I realise why none of the practise worked till now. It's because I didn't have bones.
Right now they are only starting to form.
-_-
*haaaaaa*
They are very soft and fragile but extreamly easy to train. I've made more progress in one day than I did in a month back on earth.
Corpral Little Thunder... It's better he didn't know the truth.
There might be hope yet to practise Taichi in the woumb... I wonder what monster I will become in the future.
For the first time in a while I simply fell asleep normally, dreaming of the future.
Also sulking that none of the work me and Corpral did before made a difference.
----------
Week 11 I think. At this point a normal fetus would be the size of a fig, legs would start kicking and sex organs start developing, although not yet visible.
The Birth of Little Thunder Jr is near!
My good friend... I'll take good care of your son and find him a nice wife.
----------------------------------------
Bit longer than the previous 2 no?
