Bros before Floof!? Nah... (Teaching Contract)

[Midori Futotta]

“Well.” they said, trying to come up with a good reason as to why he never did transformed into his girl body up until now. “I didn't have to Omni-Flash anything at the time and I didn't have to sneak into the girls locker room.” they admitted, if Maru hadn't had this ability he would probably been banned from the hot springs or had been arrested for peeping. Can't accuse him of spying on women if he was a woman himself, it was ingenious! The strength and being able to use Omni-Flash a lot more was the bonus but being able to fully shapeshift into a girl is the most important thing if he wanted to continue to do his research. Not only did Maikeru had gotten a chance to see what Maru's Kensei spirit looked like but Maru got a chance to meet the spirit in his students sword. Ha! The boy was able to connect with his spirit like he had, not bad at all they thought as Maru in his new glorious form began to radiate a golden aura before going into an opposite direction so he could get ready to do an Omni-Flash on the biggest of the bunch.

The biggest of the Youkai covered its eyes with one of its hands at the light show that the two put on, when the gold light was there it wasn't much except for a blonde hair girl with glowing golden hitodama's around her similar to that of ghost. Though the puny woman, or at least what the Youkai thought was a woman, was the least of his worries before one of them disappeared before moment's later appearing in the middle of a parade of monsters. Creatures of all kinds cloaked within a sinister aura looked up at the sky as thunder and lighting boomed around them, the Youkai armed themselves with weapon and made their heartseeker spears before closing in on the Uchiha! The demons of the night parade attempt to all attack at once but the Uchiha kicked at the ground then launched himself into the air before vanishing right before the demons eyes. 'Where did that human go!’ said a kappa who was looking for an easy meal. Then that was when the horde of Yokai began disappearing back to Tsumi where they came from, what kind of attack was that most of them thought. The larger demon was starting to get irritated from the lack of progress his minions were making so it decided to attack the human who was taking out a large portion of it's henchmen. 'GUYS, SERIOUSLY IT'S JUST ONE MEASLY LITTLE HUMAN!’ the frustration could he heard from the demon as it shook the chalice of fox girls in his one of his hands, causing the poor women to shriek and hold on for dear life. The demon laughed, then began to weave hand seals with a dark red glow. 'THIS AUGHT TO TAKE CARE OF HIM. GATE OF ENMA!!!!’’ The Youkai tore a rift into the Youkai world to summon… hands. Hands made from evil chakra extended towards Maikeru, the razor sharp tongs and the evil aura it carried might not kill the boy instantly but it sure as hell would hurt.

Maru upon seeing the attack directed at they're student, the blonde kicked at the ground then aimed they're weapon at the incoming attack. Throwing all of the combined force of his own power and the power of his Kensei Spirit's against an incoming attack, shooting at the hands to cause them to rip in half knocking them off hitting it's mark then causing the attack to diffuse using only their determination. The Youkai surprised at this began to raise it's hand to try to swat the busty blonde away, but Maru hammered into the Youkai's mind with a genjustu that made the Youkai believe that both it's hands were broken then chained it with a Invisibility genjustu. 'That’ll give us more than enough time to charge up Omni-Flash again! Ha! Hope Maikeru could hang in there so I can gather my spiritual chakra.' they thought to themselves, the kid was at least buying them enough time to blast it back to wherever it came from then fox girls will rain from the sky into his.. her... They're loving arms!

 

[Maikeru]

Explosions. That was all that rang in Maikeru's ears as he watched the large chakra formation above him begin to fall, before being eradicated by his sensei's power. When exactly did Maru become a powerful Shinobi? His power, or his lessons, were never the really Maikeru had followed the fellow leaf shinobi. Rather, it was out of a respect for the time and effort he had put forth to fostering the younger shinobis future. Maru may have been a lecherous pervert, but when it came to Maikeru there was never question that he cared for the boy.

Letting a exhale of relief out from his chest, he looked back to his Sensei, smiling widely at him. For a moment, the battle-hardened, war forged young man was no longer in front of him. Instead, there was the visage of the young boy he had met in tea all those years ago, so full of life and hope. Reaching into the chest of his outfit, he pulled out a small playing card. Looking at it for a moment, he returned it to where it was, before turning his attention back to the demons that still cascaded down upon them.

"I hate to be that guy Maru," He said, pausing to leap out of the way of an axe that was larger than it had any reason to be. "But, we don't seem to making a dent in these guys and I don't have time to weave hand seals in this mess."

Landing gracefully on top of the ax's handle, with all the grace of a jungle feline, he ran up the thick wood until his sword caught the neck of the demon in question, separating it from its body. Leaping off of the larger berserkers shoulders, he jumped onto the head of another, driving Kusanagi through it's skull in a single graceful movement.

"I know I'm an Uchiha, but even we have limits Maru!" He said, leaping again to land with a roll on the ground.

"I guess now is a good time to Omni-flash.." Susano said, the spirit appearing behind Maikeru and blocking a blow meant for its wielders head. "You know, before we get over run.. again.."

Grimacing, Maikeru charge forward again, dragging his blade along the ground as lightning channeled through it. The lightning travelled up his blade, before moving through his arm, and across his torso towards his free hand, before being driven into the chest of another demon who fell to his combat mastery.

"Yea.. yea.." Maikeru said, parrying another blow, before cutting down the demon who had dealt it. "I don't think I can do anything like Kawaii and Maru though..."

"That's fine." Susano assured him, once again saving it's partners life with a cut of it's spiritual blade. "Let me protect you as you charge up young one."

Nodding, Maikeru brought his blade up before him, air and dust circling around him as he began to gather chakra into it.

 

[Midori Futotta]

‘No shit, that's why I need to charge my Omni-Flash up.’ the blonde thought to herself, Maru was starting to have Kawaii's thoughts invade his mind so he needed to finish this fast or Maru's male body would be pretty difficult to change back into all the way. The blonde being invisible to the monster now, they're large breasts jumped up and down as they lifted their arm to aim at the creatures head. They made sure that they was aiming for a spot that they wouldn't end up accidentally Omni-Flashing the fox girls who we're screaming for the damn demon to put them down. Pulling off a gold ribbon from around their neck to whip the ribbon around their weapon to manipulate the golden spiritual chakra into transforming the small musket into a huge cannon before taking aim at the creature with the massive gun that looked too heavy enough for even Maru's female body to hold. More demons beginning to close in around Maikeru, grinning because they pretty much knew that the boy was getting tires, most of them may go back to Jigoku but with the boy being outnumbered there was no way he could take all of them before he collapse from exhaustion.

Trusting that the boy could hold his own, the rogue winked at the string causing the TNT strong to light up. As the spark reached the end, golden chakra gathered at the barrel of the cannon that the rogue held. Combining the power of both Ninjustu and Taijustu, the rouge did his favorite signature move which was the almighty unstoppable….. “Omni…. FLAAAAAASH!!!!!” they yelled as a huge beam of spiritual energy was sent the creatures way. The demon was still looking around for the blonde that backed his attack only to suddenly be bathed in the golden light that blasted it's head clean off! It's head turning from muscle, to bone, then dust before it bursted into golden magical sparkles that began falling to the ground like snow and when the Omni-Flash ripped through the heavens the sky was back to it's normal blue and the sun shined out brightly.

As the sun came out, and the leader of the swarm of Demons that were closing in on Maikeru began to poof right before they were about to attack him, popping into smoke since the summoner was now gone. Upon the demons being vanquished, the fox girls who we're held hostage began to fall and Maru being the gently that he began catching them then setting them down before moving to the next one as fast as lighting. Maru when catching the last fox, the rogue began to bat his eyes at the purple haired kitsune then puckered up expecting a kiss. The kitsune being uncomfortable slapped Maru then pulled herself from his arms. “I'm not into girls.” The kitsune said, straighten herself up then walked away. 'riiiiiight I did forget to change back.’ they thought. He knew that he should've changed when he had the chance, too bad because he already had her number thanks to his outstanding student of his. Maru hopping down from the rooftop they looked around, then he called out. “YO MAIKERU WHERE DID YA GO! I THINK THE YOUKAI ARE GONE NOW!”

 

[Maikeru]

Well, that was certainly... not anti-climatic, but the closest thing it could be with the pulse-pounding action that had been exploding around Maru and Maikeru for the last several minutes of combat. The young Uchiha let out a sigh as he released the chakra he had been pouring into his blade, quickly falling flat onto his ass from his kneeled position. The weariness and chakra exhaustion that the adrenaline coursing through his veins had been keeping at bay seeped its way into every crevice of his body, causing Maikeru to pant and breathe in order to keep himself going. Although Susano would never admit it, the spirit itself was nearing its limit as well, both warriors very grateful that Maru had managed to end this conflict before it got too out of hand.

He watched with an amused smile as his Sensei didn't miss a beat, instantly going to hug one of the poor kitsune girls to celebrate their victory. As much as Maru was a lecherous pervert, he never failed to be entertainment in the darkest moments. With a laugh, Maikeru fell onto his back in the snow, letting the cold and wetness of the ground simply seep into his clothing. It was going to be an uncomfortable walk home, but at the minute he didn't really care. He had just survived, no thwarted, a demon horde. Not too bad for a Cloud Genin if he did say so himself.

As the viscera and corruption that had been escaping from the portal began to recede, and the sun came over the horizon, the realization quickly came over him. They hadn't been fighting for a few moments, they had just fought for the entire night. Huh. Well, at least he didn't fall into the Uchiha stereotype of having low stamina, something that could not be said for most Uchiha who abused the Sharingan as much as the young man did. With a few more deep pants, he managed to pull himself to his feet. With a flick of his wrist, he cleaned the blade of Kusanagi, the blood and gore seeming to simply phase through the blades form. There were some positives to having a blade made of spiritual energy after all.

"Holy shit Maru," He said, looking to his sensei for a brief moment. "We did it. We.. we fought a literal army of demons. Holy shit."

More nervous laughs racked his chest as he moved closer to his Sensei, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Now.. what are we going to do about this mess...." Looking around him, at the sections of forest that had been either burnt to the ground or incinerated from existence, he wasn't quite sure how he was going to explain this to Shinrya-senpai when questioned. "...Blame ANBU?"

 

[Midori Futotta]

Maru giggled to to himself as his student who was apparently surprise that they took on a army of demons and actually won. “Well let's be glad those were low leveled ones and we didn't summon…. Like…. A army of pissed off Arsene's. But good work my boy.” the blonde gave Maikeru a victory sign for his efforts however he did bring up a good point. How will they explain this mess to make sure that they weren't the ones involved in the whole demon apocalypse thing. Maikeru brought up that they should blame the Anbu for it which he believed was a great idea since they are more likely to sell their souls to youkai. Besides Maru changed his looks so he was all good, a hero busty blonde magical girl and a young Uchiha acted fast and saved the day. That was the story they would be sticking with. “Uhhhhh yeah blame the Anbu if anyone ask! Most nuke nins are Anbu anyway so they are more likely to try something like this and fail. Hero magical girl and Uchiha saved the day!” the blonde cheered.

Now grabbing Maikeru's hand the blonde lead him into the forest to avoid the police if they wanted to question them, when they got far enough in the forest Jeez and Gosh seemed to be still in the human world! The two running around in a circle screaming that weird word AULARYOI over and over. When Jeez saw Maru in his female body the pint sized creature smiled then ran over to where the blonde stood. “Kikky!” Jeez screamed then hopped into the blondes arms, Maru cradling it like a baby the youkai snuggled against the soft pillows on Maru's chest. Gosh seeing how Jeez was with her 'mother’ Gosh raised his arms to Maikeru wanting to be held since the person that summoned him gots to be his father. The blue Youkai waddling closer started to smile then drool as it jumped, making grabby hands to Maikeru.

As the blonde held his youkai, one thing tugged on his mind. If the clothes team was here what happened to the others? Namely Mastermind because he's been scouting some places that they could go to around here to steal from, plus he had a sick idea for a casino that was on a boat since the boy was into playing cards. When Jeez was finally comfortable, the blonde looked at Maikeru then gave him a sweet smile. “She's pretty calm now, I guess she likes being held.” the blonde spoke decided that the time was now to ask him about the crew. “So… is mastermind and the others coming here from leaf? They might get bored here since there's no gorilla sized Sennin trying to kill them, nothing can replace a good enemy.” the blonde stated. He figured the mastermind was like him and wanted to prove himself to the high ranks to stand up to them. Someone had to remind them that they aren't all controlling so he figured that's what mastermind is doing now. He secretly hoped Maikeru was about to tell him and his group was on the way here. That they would be coming here probably in a couple of months since the ranking system there was a bit wonky. Guess he'll have to wait to see if Maikeru would give a good explanation to why the mastermind ain't around here.

 

[Maikeru]

“So… is mastermind and the others coming here from leaf? They might get bored here since there's no gorilla sized Sennin trying to kill them, nothing can replace a good enemy.”

The words struck at Maikeru's very core, his teeth clenching to hold back the torrent of tears that still festered behind that fresh wound. No one had told Maru yet, of course they hadn't. With everything that had been happening since they had transferred to Cloud it made sense after all. They barely had time to even fully move into their new apartments let alone for a deep heart to heart with Maru about the slaughter that had taken part in leaf.

"Uhm.. Maru.. you may wanna sit down for this.." Maikeru said, his raven colored eyes meeting those of his Sensei's female fusion. "Mastermind isn't ever coming, none.. none of the crew is ever going to come. In Leaf they.. well.. they.."

Raiden where did he find the words to explain this? How was someone supposed to even handle a situation like this? He really wasn't sure there was a correct way to handle a minefield like this, but for Maru's sake, he had to at least try. Biting at his lower lip as he once again tried to find the words to explain to Maru, he found that the very thoughts were choking him in the back of his throat. He was not ready to handle this. Instead, he reached into the pocket of his jacket, pulling out a small playing card.

"Asuka.. Hoshirei.. one of the ANBU.. they.. they.." The tears began, starting to fall slowly from the corners of his eyes. Slowly he flipped the card over for Maru, the Joker card from Riku's deck of cards. The ones the boy carried with him, that he could always be seen fiddling with. Blood was splattered across the face of the card, giving the Joker on the front of it an eerie, blood-chilling look. "They killed them, Maru. The killed our boys."

 

[Midori Futotta]

'Uhhh-Oh think I shouldn't have ask that.’ Maru thought to himself as the celebration started to take a more serious turn. Now he's seen that look before and Maru was almost sure that it was going to be bad news. Giving Maikeru the benefits of the doubt, the blonde sat cradling Jeez like she was a newborn to listen to what his student had to say. Jeez feeling the atmosphere change looked up at Maru with one eye since half of her face was smooshed against 'mothers’ chest, then turned to look at Maikeru to see if she would be able to piece together what was going on here. Maikeru proceeded to explain that none of the crew would be coming to cloud, Maru wanting to keep things positive decided to chime in with a “Oh. So like they must of stayed because they actually feel home there. They may have been troublemakers but I would say they were faithful to leaf in their own way.” the blonde said. “They always referred to it as 'THE FUNHOUSE’ after all.”

Being positive more or less did nothing since it wasn't reality. Maru lived mostly a carefree life since he never really had to work hard to get where he was going, unfortunately while he was in sand gambling and chasing women in cloud Maikeru was busy with some attack from the frost ninjas and from what Hana told… a civil war. He wondered what would've happened to him if he stayed in leaf, probably die since that place didn't really allow people to get ahead unless you are liked. All in the past now. Curiously Maru looked at what Maikeru was pulling out a single playing card from his jacket pocket. Maru was beginning to wonder what was he talking about, he started rattling off names the rogue eyes shot open. 'Did those sons of bitches got wives before I did?’ all those were female names. No wonder why they weren't coming.

Needless to say that was another high hope that got punched in the balls by the great bully of reality. They were dead, those people, those women and a Anbu killed them. Maikeru even had one of masterminds playing cards, the Joker, in his hands with Riku's dried blood on its face as proof. Maru ultimately ended dropping Jeez to cover his female bodies face then began to sob. Why did they have to die? They were just kids! Criminals yes but if they weren't strong enough to defend themselves did they deserve death? Cowards trying to make a name for themselves, swarming children was the very definition of bullying. After sobbing for a moment, Maru tried to wipe the tears away that was flowing down his feminine face like a river, getting up Maru crashed his face into Maikeru's chest then wrapped his arms around Maikeru wanting to be held. His shirt was now wet from the crying blonde girls tears then Maru looked up at Maikeru with puppy dog eyes. “I.… I'm so sorry Maikeru. *Sniffles* I'm glad you're here now please don't go do anything stupid” the blonde pleaded with the young Uchiha. “It's bad enough that one of my students died, now they died! I can't lose you too! You're like the best and only real student I have right now.” the blonde said still clutching onto Maikeru for dear life. Maru went silent for a moment… remembering how him teaching the way of darkness made Nitish run the gate. While he may not be a official citizen, if he was there's no doubt that if he ran they would treat him like any other missing ninja. They don't know the broken boy who fought in wars and lost his friends. They see a criminal needing to be put down.

“M-Maikeru…” the blonde said after holding him for a moment. “Remember what you told me, about how you still need me and how you loved me? Well I'm going to ask you to follow what you told me and not let this turn you into something you're not. I know you want revenge but that's a little too much to handle on your own. They maybe gone but I still need you Maikeru. Please… for me.. don't get yourself killed.”

 

[Maikeru]

It was a surprise to say the least when Maikeru felt Maru's arms wrap around his midsection. Even in his normal, male form, Maikeru was a bit taller than Maru. When he was in the body of Kawaii, however, the young Uchiha towered over his sensei. There was a certain awkwardness to it at first, Maikeru and Maru had never really been the hugging each other type of student and teacher. No, they were more akin to the "be ashamed at my pervy sensei and his debauchery" type. Still, he let out a small, sad sigh, before wrapping his arms around Maru, pulling he... her... Maru closer to him.

"Yea, I'm not going anywhere." Maikeru said, rubbing his hand against his Sensei's back. It felt strange, so strange, but also right at the same time. "I've got way too much to live for here in Cloud. Reicheru, Danni, you, all the friends I can make. The boys may hate me in the afterlife, but, I'm not going back to leaf. Not unless, like, this weird voice forms in the back of my head telling me to do all sorts of super out of character things. But, that's insane. I'm here to stay Sensei."

It was strange, that he would be the one to comfort the older... shinobi, but he supposed it made sense. Maikeru had two years to grieve over the boys, to deal with their loss. This was all so fresh to Maru, he doubted he even would have seen this coming. As he thought about the situations of their death, he let out a tired sigh. Did he show the snapshot to Maru? Could he handle that? He supposed that was an option that was best left up to Maru. So, as the two finally pulled apart, Maikeru made a few hand signs, before pulling out an empty scroll.

"I uhm... I have a snapshot. Of the moment of their deaths. If you want, I can show it to you. But uh... it's not a pretty sight Maru. They executed them in cold blood, it was some real criminal underworld type shit Maru. But, if you want, you can take a copy of it. Maybe... I don't know, maybe you'll come up with a way to avenge them that doesn't involve us storming the leaf gate and demanding their heads. I just.. I don't know Maru. I've had two years to think about how to avenge them and... I Just can't."

[Snapshot shown to Maru if he chooses]

 

[Midori Futotta]

Maru felt a strange comfort in the arms of his student, perhaps it was the feminine hormones from his female body or just he needed to be held. Regardless Maikeru assured Maru that he wouldn't do anything stupid like he originally thought he would do since something like that would drive to revenge. That kind of hate would often lead to bad decisions, he may could handle one or two but a entire village of battle ready shinobi was really no joke. The youkai they fought were B-C Rank at best, he was thankful that that they didn't summon a army of the really nasty ones. When Maikeru went to say that he wouldn't go back to leaf unless there were like strange voices in his head, Maru wiped his face but still tears were running down his feminine face as Maru's large breasts squished against Maikerus as the blonde wrapped her… his arms around the young Uchiha tightly. “Goo cause if you try to leave. I'll stop you, you red eyed jerk!” Maru gave Maikeru a weak punch to the chest to express his point… upon seeing his hand Maru finally realized… he was still in Kawaii's body!

Maru quickly jumped away from Maikeru then looked at himself, looking down at his legs then looked up at Maikeru with a kind of dopey face blushing. “Uhhhhhhh… sorry about that feminine hormones, makes me like SUPER EMOTIONAL.” Yup Kawaii going to be mad at him for this one, him crying in her body like a schoolgirl acting like a blonde tsundere, allowing Maikeru to rub her body's back. He had a feeling Kawaii was going to let him have it when they got home. After calming down a bit he noticed that Maikeru was… a lot taller up close. The guy towered over Maru in this form, weird since he never really taken in account the height until now since in this body he was 5’3 but Maikeru look pretty taller than 5’7. Yikes was he looking down at him the whole time! Maru's thoughts were interrupt when the young Uchiha began to weave hand signs, curious the blonde as to why he summoned a scroll.

Maru stared at the scroll curiously, then looked at Maikeru realizing he was about to show him what happened to the crew. The rogue choked at the thought, then looked away for a moment. “Yes… but if you don't mind I was hoping to keep the snapshot. I guess I owe it to them to let their story be told, who knows it could be a little crew secret yanno….” The rogue also had an idea for that blood splattered card if it had the masterminds blood on it. “Also that card, I might will be able to bring mastermind back with the proper forbidden techniques.” he wasn't going to give up on the mastermind so the least he could do was try to bring him back. If he was able to die like 5 times then come back then the mastermind should be able to come back too right?....

 

[Maikeru]

"You can.. bring him.." Maikeru started, before cocking his head to the side in confusion at Maru.

Of course, there were resurrection techniques, even Maikeru had heard of these famed ninjutsu. It was even said that his clan was capable of evolving their eyes to the Rinnegan, and were then able to perform the most powerful and sacred of these techniques. He supposed he shouldn't be surprised that Maru was able to perform one of these, the rogue shinobi had always been one to hide fantastical techniques in her repertoire. Hell, he wouldn't be surprised if the guy had a room full of different bits and pieces of shinobi to augment himself when he felt the whim. Still, it didn't leave him a bit uneased at the thought of defying the natural order of things.

"I mean.. if you think you can do something with it Maru, I just thought it would be a good memento..." Maikeru handed over the blood splattered card with a bit of trepidation, his fingers not loosening until after Maru would be forced to practically rip it from the hands of the Uchiha. "Just be careful. Those type of jutsu usually have huge draw backs to them. We wanna bring back mastermind, not some shell of whatever he use to be. I'm serious this time Maru, you need to exercise extreme caution."

The next thing was the snap shot. Maru wanted it, and although Maikeru had some uses for it, he supposed he could always get it back if he needed it. Sighing, he placed the scroll into Maru's hands as well, shaking his head slightly. Hopefully Maru wasn't planning the same thing that Maikeru was.

"Well, if you need to talk Maru you know where I live. But, I should get home, I promised Reicheru I'd make dinner tonight..."

With a small smile, and a pat of Maru's shoulder, Maikeru walked past his Sennin back towards hidden cloud. Things were certainly going to get interesting soon it seemed.
