Shozaku watched Gaara go and then walked up to Yukari.

"Come on. Let's get you out of here. Do you want to go back to the hospital? Do you want me to get a hold of Kakashi for you, or do you think it's a better idea if he never found out this happened?"

Shozaku seemed oddly understanding of the whole situation, and was trying to talk over Yukari's embarrassment so he could get them to a better situation before it got a chance to get worse. He pulled something out of his pocket, handing her a bed-sheet so she might be able to cover her lower-regions.

"Thanks, Gambler-san." Reverting back to the name she first used for him; still indicated she had amnesia. "As for this incident, don't worry about it, it was what the Kazekage wanted from me and I don't care."

Following Shozaku into the room he was previously in, Yukari stopped and stared at the inert figure on the bed next to the Gambler's bed.

"!"

"How's it going there, white-hair, found something of yours wandering around outside." He gave Yukari a pat on the back and went to lie down on his own bed, muttering something off to his side. The only words that could be made out were 'Spades' and 'long talk tomorrow.' He lay down on his back, facing upward; hands behind his head, with his eyes closed.

Yukari stood in the doorway, wearing just her dark blue shirt and the sheet that Shozaku gave her.

"Oh, hello Yukari-chan." Kakashi rolled over and sat up; giving an aloof smile to the kunoichi as she walked in.

"Make love to me…" She whispered shyly. "Both of you…"

It was a damned great thing that Kakashi had his mask on, otherwise Yukari would have seen the blood streaming out his nose. The jounin dropped his hands; which had been in mid-arch through his hair.

"I'm sorry…what?" Was all the silver-haired jounin asked; his uncovered eye pinned on her. Shozaku was lying on his bed, the tent in his pants giving truth to his next words.

"The woman's asked us to do something, man. If you don't jump on the opportunity, I will. I've already had the chance. I declined because I knew the two of you had something going. But I'd deny myself nothing twice." The bald gambler wasn't joking; he was two seconds or another word from Yukari from pinning her to the wall with his crotch alone.

The only reason he didn't was of what she…they had done earlier that day; it had helped him relax a bit. All in all, he was still a little surprised at Yukari's words; but he wasn't about to let that stop him; or Kakashi.

Yukari smiled softly at Kakashi's stunned face. "Must I repeat myself, sensei?"

Not letting Kakashi answer, Yukari's attention went solely on him; ignoring Shozaku completely. She had other plans for the Gambler. As she moved to sit on the end of Kakashi's bed; in the middle of the length, there was a tap at Shozaku's window.

Shozaku laughed, getting ignored. He could probably still try and pull something, but he knew it would have a high risk of failure. He turned on his side, away from the couple, facing his window when he noticed something tapping on it. Raising an eyebrow, wondering how much more interesting this night could get, he got up and opened it, not sticking his head out just yet.

"Hi there, hot-stuff." A mass and tangle of raven-black hair darted in and engulfed the Gambler; being strong enough to lift the man out the window and back onto the roof.

"You thought Yukari-chan would be forgetting about you; if this was a bet, you'd lose."

In the silvery moonlight sat Yukari-kage; one of Yukari's Kage Bunshin. Being nude to the skin, the smirked-set lips of the clone grinned huge as she lifted a bottle of sake. Small, hand-full breasts were tantalizingly covered by hair; as her crotch was hidden within her cross-legged sitting stance. Creamy tan skin glowed in the light of the silvery orb above. Red eyes glinted wickedly as the owner leaned to the left and let her chin rest on her open left hand.

"It was truly brilliant of how Tora-chan helped us out, neh, Gambler-san?" The nude Yukari-kage stared at Shozaku.

With Shozaku out of the room, a softly smiling Yukari – the real one – set about her softer pace with Kakashi; whereas her clone would knock Shozaku's socks off.

What lied beneath Kakashi's ninja mask was a mystery only the real Yukari wanted to uncover. She would be the exclusive first to discover just how handsome the jounin was…

It was a good thing Shozaku was such a good gambler, and as a consequence had a mastered poker-face. He would've been fine if they'd asked him to leave, or if it was another person that extracted him. He knew how the two in the room below felt about each other, and he would've understood. The Gambler felt like he'd been edged out of the room so they could be together and dumped on a lesser-version of what he was slowly coming to want. He felt a little more offended about the whole situation, but he wasn't sure exactly why.

He did, however, get his interest peaked by something the clone said, so he played along for now. He walked up to the clone, and looked down on it with a lusty grin in his eyes.

"Maybe, how exactly did Tora-chan help us out?"

"See, that's your problem, Shozaku-san, you're too goodie-goodie…" Yukari-kage stood up and tossed him the bottle. "You stand there with that look in your eyes like I'm some kind of two-class slut; not as good as the real thing." The Kage Bunshin Yukari walked over to the Gambler and stuck a hand down his pants, rubbing. "Here's the thing, something that can get Yukari – AND me – in trouble. The secret to the Kage Bunshin."

Yukari-kage gave a little squeeze as she herself grinned. "I AM the real thing. Hokage'll kill us for revealing the Konoha Kage Bunshin secret, but I want you to be comfortable with the situation. Yukari-chan cares enough about you to split her virginity to two men. You and Kakashi-sensei…think about it…"

The clone had a revelation and hit her forehead with her free hand. "…which makes it stupid to refer to me in third-person. I am her and she is me."

Shozaku took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment, and tilted his head back. From Yukari's point of view, his next action would be strange. His arm would shoot out to the side, grab nothing, and squeeze. A tiny cut would appear on his hand, before it closed over empty air.

"Fair enough." Were his only words he said as he stood there, smiling as he felt her hand in his pants. Then, without notice or indication, he wrapped his arms around her, kissed her full on the lips, and used one of his feet to sweep her off hers so the only thing holding her up was him. He didn't bother getting her hand out of his pants though, not just yet. Shozaku seemed to approve for now. Yukari-kage giggled and kissed him back; allowing her wild side to come forth.

"I am Yukari, and I'm wild tonight, Gambler-san." Again, that damned amnesia. "Tora-san says I am forgetting a two-week period of my life, would…you care to re-inform me of just what I am forgetting about you, neh?"

Her hair fell off until it was shoulder length and no longer hid her body; and so she wrapped her arm around him; squishing her chest against his.

"And don't worry about syncing your moves with Kakashi's…when the clone vanishes, the real thing experiences the all the things the clone felt within its life." Yukari pulled her lips off his again and giggled. "Am I the clone or is she the clone? I doubt anyone can tell!"

She leaned in closer and whispered: "Yukari's gonna get twice the fun through me…"

With that that, Yukari-kage squeezed hard on his rod and slipped her tongue into his stun-opened mouth; licking the backs of his teeth.

Wydra stripped out of her clothes as well. She looked slightly matured, more so than she should at her age because of the bond she had with her friends, but like she still had a good few years to go. She looked, almost jealously at Usagi's body, before turning to Gilligan and waiting for her to strip down as well.

Gilligan sighed, slowly pulling the cloak down. She was perfectly okay with her new form, but she wasn't sure if other people would be. In a normal sense, she had matured a few years in just a day and was pretty far along but still a few years behind Usagi as far as looks went. In a much-less normal sense, there were some rather strange additions to her body.

Two stuck out the most at first glance. The first, if you went top to bottom, would be that on her torso on both sides of her chest, a pair of hands had grown out of her skin that were covering her breasts. They looked like the hands she had at the end of her arms, only a slight bit bigger. They didn't restrict her chest at all, but were cupped so as to cover her. The next, if you went bottom-to-top, was that she now had four legs.

There were two large eyes on her shoulder, though at the moment they were closed. And all around the rest of her body, there were bumps, ranging in size from the tip of a finger to a hand barely-beneath the surface of her skin. As the coat fell to the ground, she had her hands behind her back and her head was facing the ground, though her eyes were tilted up at Usagi and Wydra, hoping their reactions wouldn't be too bad.

"EGADS! That is hideous!" Usagi blanched and reached forward to show Gilligan a lock of dirty hair. "You walk around with dirty hair! I will most certainly fix that!"

The kunoichi huffed, dropped the strand of strawberry blonde hair and looked warmly at Gilligan. She shrugged off the oddest feature of Gilligan – the four legs – and turned to the sauna and pointed to the shower stall next to it.

"You are cleaning yourself before you get in the hot springs, Gilligan-san, and that is final!" Usagi then turned to Wydra. "You too, missy! I shall do the same."

Following a time-worn Konoha tradition, Usagi would force the girls to thoroughly clean their bodies before being allowed to soak in the relaxing hot waters of the sauna.

Gilligan froze for a moment, but didn't have long enough to freak out before Usagi continued. She smiled and laughed, hugging her before she rushed off to the shower with Wydra. About the time the showers were turned on, a voice would be heard behind Usagi, coming from the hot springs. To Usagi, it wouldn't really be that familiar.

"Ah…always good seeing a girl grow up, isn't it rabbit-woman?" A very arrogant and creepy voice spoke, his appearance momentarily shrouded in steam from the springs.

"Shut up, you freak, this is a girls-only sauna." Usagi hissed as she drew out a trio of senbon needles from her hair. Thankfully, the shower stall was slightly separated from the hot springs, so Usagi moved to block the space that led to the showers.

"Show yourself or get lost, pisser."

"Relax woman, I actually had a woman with me until the two of you arrived. I'd rather not drive the poor girl crazy, bringing up sex after she recently finished. And I'm not doing anything to hide myself." He said as the steam began to dissipate. From top to bottom, it slowly revealed the form of James, eyes slowly opening and closing along many various places on his body.

"You can put those away; such quaint weapons stopped working when I was a child; they do nothing more than make me giggle. I came only to ask you of my sister." He said all this with his eyes, the ones in his head, closed and his head tilted back. Half of his body was submerged, with his arms stretched out as he relaxed.

Damn, that's disgusting, you ought to cover…OH MY LORD AND KAMI! Usagi's red eyes widened at the size of his member, which too, had eyes. I'll have to force you to die now, since you stained my beautiful vision, bastard… What she said was:

"This building is Konoha and Sunagakure property; I highly doubt you're from either, so you'll have to leave…"

The multi-eyed man merely shrugged. Eyes on his torso blinked in quick succession, as if forming a series of signals or patterns. There was a poof, and moments later the man looked like an exact replica of Yusuki, and spoke with the same voice; although the tone was completely different.

"Fine, does this work? I don't have to leave anywhere really. You can't stop me, and I'm not doing anything to attract attention. Will you tell them to hurry up?" He said, lazily lifting a finger to point at the shower stall. "I'd like to speak to my little sister. It would be nice to make sure it was worth it because we almost killed the spiky little bastard when this started. I blame your cousin, but I've currently left her in the hands of others…" He was silent after that, seeming to just enjoy the bath as he waited. He still maintained Yusuki's appearance, and he almost hoped it got a reaction out of her because he could have some fun with it.

Usagi blinked and smirked. "As long as you promise to stupid stuff…" She turned back and called over her shoulder. "Hey girls, someone is here to talk to you."

She then turned back to James in the guise if Yusuki and crossed her arms over her nude chest.

"Because you were nice to her; and I don't mean like…most. If she hadn't managed to get you inside of her, she probably would have moved on. If she had, and you hadn't gotten her off of you, she would have finished up and soon after moved on because we don't get attached to those we mate with like the Twisted do…god damn it…"

Those last two words he said while staring off into space and cursing his own situation, not Kankuro's. "Although we do get attached; it's just possible to resist. But you…you did the exact opposite of what she's grown up with, the exact opposite of what our very horrible and evil father's done to her. You pleased her, you did something caring, for her. Because of that, she's gotten attached to you, and wants it to stay that way."

Barokendo stopped his explanation there, waiting to see if there was anything Kankuro would say. He still had something else he would speak of before he left but it could wait for the moment.

"…I see. Fathers can get really…weird sometimes…" Kankuro digressed his point. "What am I supposed to do now?" The Puppeteer looked over his should at Sheena. "I mean, is she going to be this clingy all the time? The girl's got to learn how to work on her own…"

"No, ours was evil. But that's a talk for a later date and time." Barokendo shrugged. "I've never been in an extended relationship, so I don't have much experience with that. Do what I always do; tell her what you're thinking. I know that she's only clingy because she's use to things getting taken away from her, so she knows that if she's attached to you she can prevent that from happening. Since I usually do what I want and say what I think, I've never had the problem of being unable to handle it…so, outside of what I have said, it's up to you to figure it out." He continued to stand there, though his form did begin to fade ever so slightly.

"Great…" Kankuro dropped his face into his hands again. "So I tell her to back off, and I'm not going anywhere!"

Like Sheena, Kankuro was no Romeo or cupid when it came to having a relationship. He was just as new at this as Sheena was. The puppet-master stood up and glared at Barokendo. "Get lost, I need to frigging think."

Barokendo shrugged and turned around. He didn't turn his head or look over his shoulder, but he did have a few parting words. "This has nothing to do with my sister. If you glare at me again, I will take it as a challenge." Rather than walking out, he just faded away. It was different than if a clone just disappeared with a poof, this one faded out slowly as if a memory was being forgotten.

Back in Usagi's guest room, Barokendo gasped for breath and sat up, alive again.
