Alright, let's see if I can get this thing written without my mother kicking me off. Although, it will be a challenge, but I figure that if I ignore her long enough, she'll go away. It isn't working right now, but maybe it will sometime soon. Hopefully before I die from being talked to death?

"And why would I need to change? I'm happy as I am right now."

"Claude..." Iruka's eyes narrowed dangerously and the others watched as the spider paled drastically. "I'm sure you'd love to keep certain bits still attached to your body..."

The summon blanched and skittered several steps backwards. He didn't want to end up looking like Mitzuki; that would be bad for his ego and a huge blow to his pride. And it was also the fact that he wouldn't be able to take Sebastian as his mate that made Claude carefully think over how he was going to go through with this. Stepping forward again, the spider felt his skin begin to peel away as he let the transformation take over his senses. Fire burned along four of his limbs, removing them, as the other four slid around his body to the proper position. Eyes dissolved in mist leaving the final two behind. His body combined together leaving smooth, marble colored skin; that quickly disappeared beneath a black suit. Midnight black hair curled around his face, combed to impeccable neatness. Knowing golden eyes blinked quickly, readjusting to the brightness of the room. Reaching into his jacket, Claude pulled a pair of glasses out and slipped them over his nose. He was gorgeous, and out of the corner of his eye, Kakashi could see Anko drooling. Tsunade had stepped off the desk and stared at the former spider. He bowed and then stood to attention.

"Your highness."

"Your highness?" Kakashi's eyebrow; along with most of the others in the room; had gone up.

Iruka ginned sheepishly, "I let them call me what they want." Claude's smile widened and he spun around.

"I see I have some admirers."

"You be quiet."

"Yes, your highness." The mock bow that followed the statement resulted in Iruka taking a hefty swing at Claude's head with the ice spear that he had snapped into existence. As all good summons would do, Claude ducked, but wasn't prepared for the sweeping foot that followed. He landed flat on his ass, shock clearly showing on his face.

"Behave Claude. Or else."

"Or else what?"

"Or else I'll summon Sebastian and tell him that you're planning to sweep Val off his feet."

Claude visibly paled. "You wouldn't. He'll kill me!" Completely ignoring his plight, Iruka reformed the summon seal and slammed his hands on the ground. Claude vanished instantly, as the second puff of smoke faded to reveal a young man. Same black hair, but it fell to his shoulders. He wore black leather pants with knee high high-heeled boots of the same color. A white button down shirt was tucked into his pants, and a pair of black feathered wings completed the look. Brown eyes that flashed to red surveyed the room, searching for the reason why he had been summoned.

"You called, my lord?"

"No reason. Wanted to show you off."

Sebastian sniffed. "The no-good Spider was here, I see."

"No-good Spider?"

"Claude."

"Ahh." Iruka looked thoughtful for a moment.

"He's after my intended again, isn't he?"

"Seb..." A harsh glare. "Claude has not bit of interest in Val. And besides, Val's already with Havi. Believe me, he already has his eyes set on someone else, but they're a little too dense to realize it. Just leave him alone." Sebastian frowned.

"Fine. But I want to know where the hell he is."

"He left when I summoned you."

Sebastian's eyes narrowed slowly, the gears in his mind whirling away. He had been summoned because Iruka knew that Claude would flee from him. "I am not something you can summon to chase away unwanted beings."

"Oops. I'll have to remember that."

"That's Shiva's job." Iruka snickered.

"Don't let her hear that."

"True. I prefer not to get frozen."

"Well then, perhaps you should go find Claude. I think that he might be at the lake."

A simple nod was received before Sebastian disappeared in a burst of purple flames. Iruka's grin widened.

Everyone's attention was on the demon's majestic disappearance, so no one noticed Iruka quickly gathering up everything from his desk and disappearing in a small burst of water as well. One of the reasons was so that he didn't have to explain his relationship with the Uchila family, and the other was his age. It would be awkward to tell them that he had helped build Kohona with the First.

"Iruka-sensei!" When she didn't receive a response the Hokage spun around, only to see an empty desk. "Damn! He escaped! That man has an uncanny sense of timing. Always disappears when I have questions I want to ask him!" Kakashi let out a soft whistle resulting in Tsunade turning her anger on him.

"Are you praising him?" Her voice had become sober.

"More like admiring his ability to teleport from a room full of Jounin ANBU without any of us noticing."

"...You're right... How did he do that?"

The Sandaime blinked. "I think I know someone who might be able to help us with that."

"Really?"

"No. All of Iruka's family is dead, besides Sasuke and Itachi. I highly doubt that either of them would know what he did."

Kisame gently set Itachi down on his feet. "No, I didn't even notice that he was gone. It was like it was natural or something. There wasn't any chakra involved."

"We need someone related to Iruka... Or someone who has known him long enough to know someone who would be able to tell us what he did there. Anko?"

"Nope. I don't have any ideas."

A knock on the door interrupted what they were doing.

"Come in."

The door slid open revealing the Mizukage of the Mist. He bowed slightly, along with the two ANBU at his side.

"These two are Grey Otter and White Sparrow."

"It's nice to meet you..." The Sandaime trailed off, unsure of what to call him.

"Kyo. My name is Kyo Umino."
