Lazy Gaga – Woo hoo! :D Thanks, I'll think a little more about it :D

Roku-and-Saku – Saku, I totally get what you mean. Ryuu likes to rant too. He doesn't shut up about who he hates ;) I'm sure Pain won't notice if Roku uses one little line…or maybe, he will. Ryuu likes how Roku thinks. But Ryuu is too lazy and cruel to admit it when he does like someone. He prefers to look at their bad qualities.

How do you want me to kill Saku? I mean, kunai is a little boring now, right? Or would you rather we both killed her?

I apologize for Ryuu's behaviour Saku. I promise he won't hurt you. He's a sweetheart, really. ;)

Chapter Nine – Speak of the Devil

Joba had vanished, like he always did. I assume Genji was getting too much for him.

"Hello Adachi-san," came a shrill and cocky voice.

Speak of the Devil and he shall appear, there was the hated demon behind me. I ignored him and looked back at the mirror. Well, Kakashi scrubbed up well. I yawned, enjoying that smell. Oxygen. When you're deprived of it for centuries, it actually begins to have a taste that I find hard to describe. It's like a mixture of everything.

"Ryuu, this is Hatake Kakashi you've chosen to possess."

"Oh wow, ten points for the fucking genius. I know who I possess you stupid little-…"

"Ah, ah, Ryuu-chan," he mocked. "Ryoko would turn in her rotting grave if she heard you bec-…"

He was slammed against a wall, and I growled at him, baring my teeth. Animals, really. That's all demons really are. Only animals have more dignity. I'm afraid I don't have any left.

"T-Take a joke R-Ryuu-sama!" I liked how he added 'sama' to the end of it. Had a nice ring to it. Surely when I controlled more humans I would make them call me "Ryuu-sama".

Nice to know he changed his tone. I let him go, and he slummed. What a pathetic little piece of shit, this guy is. He's older than me, yet he almost pees himself if I bare a fang at him. It's a wonder the Demons use him for their secret police force. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

"Leave, Genji. I'm busy."

"I just dropped by to see if you knew where Joba went. All of the Demon realm knows you two are normally joint at the hip."

"We recently had surgery to un-join us, Genji so no, I do not know where Joba ran off too. Probably another village for some fun. I'm the one getting blamed for that claustrophobic girl's death."

"I heard that woman Tsunade saying some group called the Akatsuki have heard about you. You gotta be more careful Ryuu, you know we can't mess with groups such as those. They know too much about demons. And well, the rumours about you."

"Rumours?" I paused, looking at him. He stuttered which reminded me of Rui. If my heart could beat, it would have sped up.

"Yeah. They say you're a human who is hiding behind a demon, or something like that."

Humans have no idea what I'm capable of.

I fixed Kakashi's deflated hair back to it's gravity-defying style and ignored Genji's questions. He left an hour later, saying he'd find Joba and get the Demons after him. Genji didn't have the guts to get Demons after Joba.

"It just doesn't make any sense, Sakura-chan!"

Haruno Sakura sighed. This was just like history repeating itself. It hurt, just sitting in Tsunade's office and not knowing what to do. They'd looked at the victims, and it was so tense and paranoid in there.

Everyone was wondering if the Killer was beside her. Was it Naruto himself? Was it Neji? TenTen? It could even be Ino, her closest friend apart from Naruto. How did they know? Kakashi had a date tonight. She almost fell off her chair when Naruto told her, but realized it was just another bet with Gai.

Poor Kakashi, she thought. She was certain he would rather sit here with them, than with an airhead like Kiyoasa Kazumi.

"So I told him like, and I was like what the Hell! I mean, she's not even that pretty with ears like that! And her feet are just…ugh," Kazumi babbled.

I nodded quickly, watching her throat instead. I could hear her pulse as she spoke. She was on about some girl she hated, but then again, judging by her thoughts, she hates a lot of people.

"I need to go pee. I'll be right back."

She left, and my head dropped to the wooden table in front of me. I started banging my head over and over, repeating, "I hate her, I hate her, I hate her, she doesn't have a brain, I hate her, I hate her."

It worked pretty well, until I remembered I was in a crowded restaurant and all the people were staring at me. I rolled my eyes and poked at the uneaten sushi in front of me. Maybe I could pour some blood on it? Human food is not as tasty anymore. I sighed as Kazumi came back in, and leaned back.

Away from her scent.

She sat and began her rant. "So like I was saying, her thighs are massive! I wish that Killer would get rid of her."

From the look in her eyes, and in her thoughts, she knew she caught my attention and faked surprise.

"Oh sorry Kakashi-kun! I totally forgot you were working on that case!" she said, doing her best to sound the least bit seductive.

"Hmm. Who do you think the Killer is, Kazumi?"

She put a finger on her chin, and had this very concentrated look on her face. I laughed a little to myself, so quiet that she didn't hear me.

"Well, he has to be evil," she said, marking each point off with one of her fingers. "And cruel. And he has to be smart."

Honest to God, her mother must've thrown her at a wall when she was born. No one can be this slow at answering a question, unless something is medically wrong with them, and I'd make an exception for that. This girl…My God.

I thanked the Gods I didn't really believe in anymore when the date was over.

As I walked home, I noticed a scent.

"What are you talking about? I am the HOKAGE YOU IDIOT!" a woman screamed.

I watched the big-busted woman storm out, almost knocking people off the seats. It was something of a casino, and the people grumbled at her, but she stormed off.

Tsunade…The Fifth Hokage, right? Hm, I know her scent. It's basically rum, with sweat, with perfume. Something most humans smell like anyway, without the rum. I followed her as she found another place to gamble.

Hm, I'm feeling a little bored with Kakashi now. He has limited power. But Tsunade…she's a Hokage. She has a say in everything, right?

Becoming Tsunade seemed more like a good idea every second I followed her…
