Hell: OMG, I'm so sorry for the delay! A lot of stuff has happened that has slowed the writing of this chapter down.
I've had a friend that has recently died, (Nov 4th 2007 to be exact) and he was someone I knew since I was 4. Time has been tough lately and he was the person I based Masami's character off of and since this chap is mainly about Masami... yeah.
But I know that life goes on and I'm coping with this fine now. We finally finished this chapter and we hope ya'll like it!
Of Storm and Fire
Chapter 25:
In The Arms Of The Angel
"Oi! Boys, hurry up!" Shima yelled. All three looked up and noticed that they had fallen behind some.
"Ah, gomen!" Kataro yelled, starting to run forward.
"Giddy up horsey!" Tenshi yelled to Kohaku, laughing loudly. Kohaku snorted, promptly dropped the koneko on the ground on his ass, before quickly running to catch up with Kataro and the others.
"OOOOIIII!!! JAA'KU!!!!" Tenshi yelled, springing up quickly and chasing after the laughing old boy.
It seems, that things have gotten better, instead of worse, like I feared.
The angel thought.
Hee, I found true friends now, Chichiue. And one, my Sukinushi has been with me all this time...
TenshiTenshiTenshiTenshiTenshiTenshiTenshiTenshiTenshiTenshiTenshiTenshiTenshi
Tenshi swiftly walked through the village, hands shoved in his pockets. It had been two weeks since he had decided to let out his secret of having two demons inside him. So far, no one had approached him about it. But he knew, he knew from all the thought waves and whispers that Shima, Haru, Kataro, and all them had done their job well, and the news of Tenshi having two demons in him was spreading like a wild fire during the summer in July.
Tenshi didn't much care at all. He was the one that told them to tell. But his parents did care.
When Neji had told Naruto about Tenshi's decision, the kitsune had stormed out of his office, hunted down the koneko, dragged him home and held him hostage till his father returned from his mission.
Confronting his parents was a little hard. Both of them demanded answers and ranted on about the consequences of what he had just done. Then, after finally cooling down and Tenshi sweat dropping about a million times, they asked their youngest son if he truly want the whole village to know. He had answered without any hesitation, and his parents backed off, respecting his decision. But the angel could tell they were both worried and that just made Tenshi worry more himself. Yes, he really did want the village to know, but he couldn't help but to be a little nervous on how they were all going to react.
Tenshi walked past the academy, glancing at the wooden swing for a second, but kept going. He was trying to meet up with his team, and he had to go through the village to get there quicker.
He got deeper into the village and noticed how many villagers were around. There were tons, all of them carrying on their normal, every day lives. He walked through the crowds, his eyes scanning everywhere, trying to see if he could spot anyone he knew, like Akane's team or one of his siblings, or Inka or Kosteo.
Slowly, he noticed people starting to notice him and glare at him. Not a few seconds after he noticed, they started pointing, whispering to each other.
"It's that demon boy, he's back!"
"It's taken him a while. Six years! He's been gone six years!"
"There he is! The demon child! Back after six years... He should have just stayed away."
"Well he should have stayed longer. I would have done anything for him to just stay away."
Tenshi ignored them, rolling his eyes. For some reason all that they said he had sworn he had heard before. Even the whole six years things. But he brushed it off, he headed towards the training grounds of the village.
He was surprised that not one of the villagers stopped him or tried to mess with him. He had expected them to, for some of the cocky men to try and corner him. But no one did anything. After their whispers of him being back, they just gave him small dirty looks before looking away. He wondered why no one came up to him as they used to when he was younger. Maybe it was because the village headband was adoring his forehead? He didn't know...
He made it to the training grounds pretty quick and looked around for his team. The grounds seemed deserted, no one around, till he heard a familiar voice.
"Sensei! Do we have too?" came a loud whine. Tenshi peaked around a tree and saw a black haired girl with green eyes talking to a tall man. Tenshi smiled softly.
There's Shima-chan and Neji-sensei.
Neji said something, but Tenshi couldn't make it out. It sounded like a bunch of jumbled words. Suddenly, he felt another presents and looked over to a tree near the two people.
A boy walking by quickly. But he saw brown hair and pale, white eyes. Tenshi's smile grew.
Kohaku-jaa'ku.
But Kohaku didn't look to happy. His eyebrows were furrowed slightly, his jaw tight, and body stiff. His eyes were full of anger and it made Tenshi blink.
The koneko walked out from the trees and over to his team, watching Kohaku closely.
"La-Li-Ho!" He called out happily, getting all their attention. Shima turned to him and smiled ear to ear.
"Tenshi-chan!" she cooed, hugging him tightly. "Good morning!"
"Morning, Shima-chan." he said, hugging her back. Shima pulled away, her face suddenly turned into a pout.
"Sensei wants us to do a clean up mission. He wants us to pick up all the trash in the park and at the river!" she whined. Tenshi smiled softly.
"Well, at least we'll know we are helping the environment, right?" he said.
"Must you always have a positive side to everything, baka?" Kohaku said, sounding annoyed and bored. Tenshi looked over at him and nodded.
"Hai. I must. It keeps you from brooding the team up." Tenshi replied. Kohaku narrowed his eyes at the koneko for a minute, his left eyebrow twitched, then he looked away.
Tenshi put his hands on his hips, cocking his head to the side as he looked at his best friend.
"What's your problem today, jaa'ku?" he asked. Kohaku snorted, his fingers digging into his elbows.
"The damned villagers, that's my problem." he growled turning his head to look at Tenshi. His lips were curled in a nasty snarl and he really looked angry. "All I've heard this morning when I was trying to get here was, 'Oh, did you hear? That nasty demon child has returned! He should just go back to where he was!' or 'Uchiha Tenshi has two demons inside of him. That brat doesn't need to be in this village. The Hokage should take responsibility and get it out of here. I don't care if it's his child, his child is a demon!' It's starting to piss me off!" the youngest Hyuuga snarled, teeth grinding together loudly.
Tenshi sighed deeply, looking at his feet.
"Eh, gomen, Kohaku-kun." he muttered. Kohaku blinked at what the angel said.
"Huh? Ah, no! Tenshi, it isn't your fault. Don't apologize about something like that." Kohaku said, unfolding his arms. Tenshi didn't say anything. He just rubbed his shoulder in a nervous manner.
"Alright you three. Lets get this mission done so we can all do what we want." Neji said, turning to go.
"Right." all three said. But all their thoughts were on Tenshi secret-- or not so much secret any more-- and the whole village knowing.
KohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTens
Kohaku and Tenshi walked side by side through the village after their mission. It had taken them till about lunch time to get it finished. Shima had said something about her mother teaching her some medical jutsu and ran off after the mission. Neji just disappeared into thin air, doing whatever he does after missions. Not even Kohaku knew what his father did.
So that left Kohaku and Tenshi. They both decided to go get something to eat (Tenshi had yelled out "RAMEN!" at the top of his lungs. So, Kohaku was forced to go with the koneko to Ichiraku.) But, Tenshi said he had some coupons at his house for a couple bowls of ramen for free. So he said they had to go get them.
So now they were on their way to the Uchiha estate, Kohaku glaring fiercely at anyone who dare look at his best friend the wrong way.
When they got there, they heard a loud shriek and something crashing to the ground. Both boys bolted into the house, going to where they heard the yell come from, which was the kitchen.
They ran in there to see Hikari looking around the kitchen floor with wide eyes, and kitchen knife in her hand.
"Nee-san, what's wrong?" Tenshi asked, walking over to her slowly.
"I saw..." she muttered, her eyes darting around, "I saw a..." she paused again.
"What was the yell about?" came a familiar voice. Tenshi looked over to see his Chichiue in the door way with his Hokage cloak in his hand.
"What are you doing home, Chichiue?" Tenshi asked him.
"I wanted to have lunch at home with Hikari, Atsuko, and our Otousan." he told his youngest son, walking up to him and patting Kohaku on the shoulder as he past him.
"What's the fuss about?" Two voices said together, peeping around the frame of the door. It was Sasuke and Atsuko. Sasuke had Mimi in his arms, and Kiki was balancing herself on Atsuko's shoulder. Riri stood next to them, looking tired, with Cici sitting on his head happily.
"Hikari-nee, what did you scream about?" Atsuko asked, coming completely in the door way, hands on her hips. Sasuke stood behind her, looking annoyed and bored.
"I saw it. It was fast, big..." Hikari muttered, looking around the kitchen franticly.
"What was it, Hikari?" Kohaku sighed, really wanting to just go eat, he was very hungry.
"Kohaku-chan!" Mimi suddenly yell, jumping out of Sasuke's arms and bounding over to one of her most favorite boys in the world. She jumped up at him and he caught her quickly, having no choice but to hold the fox.
"Anyway," Riri yawned, glancing over at Mimi for a second, annoyed, "What the hell was it, Hikari?"
"It was a big, fast," she turned to them, her hands up by her shoulders, "silver-ish gray... rat!" she yelled. Everyone in the room, save for Hikari herself, sweat dropped.
"You're kidding me..." Kohaku muttered as Atsuko's slammed the palm of her hand against her forehead, making a loud slapping noise.
"Hikari! Kami-sama, all that fuss for a stinking rat!" Atsuko growled. Naruto blinked.
"Hikari-chan, there is no need to be all freaked out. A rat is not going to hurt you." he said, running a hand through his golden locks.
"A rat..." Sasuke muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Gaaah! There it is!" Hikari yelled, through the knife at the corner of a cabinet. Something gray darted from the corner and in between the wall and the back of the counter.
"Hai, I saw it." Tenshi said, frowning. "We should get it out of here. It's not safe."
"We should kill it! Kill it, Tenshi! Or better yet, Atsuko, burn it!" Hikari yelled. Tenshi frowned at her.
"We aren't killing anything, Hikari." he said. He heard Atsuko make a sound of disappointment behind him and he glanced at her, sending her a annoyed look. She just smirked back at him.
"What we need to do is find it and put it out side," Naruto said, stepping forward, "or put it in Sai's house. One or the other." he muttered. Naruto moved to the place he saw the rat disappear but when he got half way there, it darted out and across the kitchen floor. Hikari screamed once more and through a knife at it.
"Gah! Careful, Hikari! I'm not a rat, I'm a fox, dang it!" Naruto yelled, moving out of the line of fire.
Hikari didn't listen to him. She just kept through knifes at the rat as it tried to get some where safe.
"Nee-san! Stop!" Tenshi cried, grabbing her throwing arm tightly.
"It's a rat, Tenshi! A gross rat!" she yelled, trying to pull away from her little brother.
The rat squeaked and tried to hide, but before it could get behind the other counter, someone grabbed it's tail and lifted it in the air. The rat struggled, trying to get away.
"It's small, Hikari, not that big." Naruto said, looking at the rat he held in his hand by it's tail. "It's okay little buddy. We'll get you some where safe." he told the rat, his whiskered cheeks twitching. The rat looked at him, and Naruto noticed that it had blue eyes a lot like his. He rat froze, staring at him for a minute, before struggling once more.
"Let me down, you damned fox!" the rat suddenly yelled, surprising everyone in the room.
"Oh wow. You can talk!" Naruto exclaimed. The rat suddenly bit him and Naruto yelped out in surprise, releasing the rat. The rat fell to the floor and scurried away from the kitsune. It looked at the humans, and it's body started to glow a silver color. It's pupils in it eyes disappeared and black formed on the outside of his iris, making the blue color shrink and look like a big, dilated pupil.
It was about to try and hide again, but Sasuke grabbed it this time, by the tail as Naruto had done.
"It's looks more like a talking mouse then a rat." he said, looking the thing over in his hand carefully. The rat glared at him, the blacks in his irises growing more, the glow brighting.
Kohaku had a strange feeling wash over him. One he had felt many times in his life. His power was copying something, but what?
He blinked and suddenly got it. Dropped Mimi, he moved quickly over to Sasuke and snatched the rat out of his hand. He held it tightly in his hand, his fingers wrapped around the rats body. He moved towards Tenshi and shoved the rat in his face, making the rat look at the angel.
"Let me go, you stupid human!" the rat yelled, squeaking loudly.
"Stop whatever you are about to do and look at who is in front of you, you rodent." Kohaku growled. The rat blinked and looked at Tenshi, who was leaned back a little, blinking.
The rat stopped struggling, glowing, and his eyes turned back to normal as it sniffed the air. Kohaku then dropped it unceremoniously and the rat landed on it's feet.
It stared up at Tenshi, and when he felt Kohaku nudge him in the back with his foot, he glared at the Hyuuga. Then suddenly, the rat transformed in a 16 year old boy with a mouse like tail and two mouse/rat like ears on his wild sliver hair, kind of like Kakashi's, but not up like his. He had gray markings and blue eyes like Naruto's. He was about as tall as Riri was in his human or half human form, which about the size Masami was. He looked very well built and tan. He worn the same thing the Ittans usually worn, but his robe/kimono was silver with dark gray lining and a black under shirt. He had black fingerless gloves on that looked very torn up and black pants that went to his ankles, his feet were bare. He had one ear pierced, his left one. A gold small loop earing was in his ear and a sliver skull necklace around his neck.
The mouse/rat/boy looked down at Tenshi, a small smirk on his face.
"Another... Ittan?" Tenshi whispered, staring up at the boy. The boy suddenly bowed to Tenshi, deeply.
"Hello, master. I am Xixi, your new Ittan." he said. Tenshi blinked at him for a minute, frowning slightly.
"Not that I'm not gratefully for you to appear, Xixi-san," Tenshi said, standing straighter, "but... what have I done that created you?"
Xixi stood up straight, grinning at the angel.
"Ah, see, about two and a half weeks ago, you went over the top on your levitation power. It created me! Xixi." he told the angel.
"Tenshi, your new Ittan is a rat?!" Hikari exclaimed, her eyes wide. Xixi rolled his eyes, glaring at her.
"I'm not a rat! I'm a mouse! I can change my size so I can look bigger!" he snapped, stomping his foot on the ground.
"Well, this was unexpected." Sasuke muttered, folding his arms.
"You bit me!" Naruto remarked, pointing at Xixi. Xixi looked over at him, an eyebrow raised.
"You had a hold of me. You should know not to leave yourself open like that, fox." Xixi said. Naruto glared at him.
"I wouldn't talk that way to him." Riri said, appearing in his half human form next to Tenshi. "He's the masters Chichiue, he gave life to the master. Not only that, he is the Hokage of the village of which we live in and is Kyuubi's vessel." Xixi looked at him arrogantly.
"Like I care. It's cool that he gave birth and all to the master, but I really don't care if he is the old fox's vessel or not." he sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Riri glared at him. Xixi glared back. "You're Riri, correct? The wolf Ittan? The first one ever made?" Riri nodded. "Well, don't get all 'I'm older and more experienced than you' on me. Because I don't care, wolf." Riri growled, baring his sharp teeth.
"I could eat you as a snack any time I want to, rodent." he growled.
"Buuuut, you wont." Tenshi snapped, getting between the two, who were much taller then he was. "Come on you two. Lets not start off bad." he said. Both Ittan's back off, doing as their master said. Tenshi looked up at Xixi, looking at him closely.
"Why do you have your ear pierced?" he asked, "None of the others had something like that?" Xixi smirked, flicking his earing.
"You like? I got this and the necklace on my way here." he said proudly.
"Nani?" Mimi burst out, appearing in half human form next to Tenshi. "You spent your time doing that instead of getting here sooner?! It took you two weeks!" Xixi blinked at her, smiling.
"Ah, sorry about that. I kind of got distracted, then lost." he said sheepishly. Mimi sighed, shaking her head.
"It's okay..." she muttered.
"Who are you?" he asked her. She smiled lightly.
"I am Mimi. The frog is Cici and the bunny is Kiki. I am the second Ittan, Kiki in the third, Cici is the fourth. That makes you the fifth." she said. He nodded about to open his mouth and say something, but a voice cut him off.
"What can you do?" Kohaku asked. Xixi turned, looking at the boy who had roughly grabbed him before. He blinked at the boy. Kohaku was staring at him intently, wanting an answer.
Xixi turned back to Tenshi and pointed over his shoulder.
"This one scares me." he said and Tenshi tried not to laugh.
"He should." Kiki said, relaxing on Atsuko's shoulder, who seemed amused at everything that had happened, "He is Tenshi-sama's fourth guardian. The power absorption wielder."
"The fourth?" Xixi looked back at Kohaku, who had his arms folded, being impatient.
"What can you do, Xixi?" Tenshi asked, folding his hands behind his back.
"Self-detonation." Xixi said, pushing his hands into his pockets, "That is my power."
"You mean," Atsuko said, her voice excited and her hands were clenched, arms bent at the elbow, "that you can explode your body mass and reform?!" He nodded to her and she gasped. "Cool! How come I didn't get that power?!"
"I have different ranges of explosion," Xixi continued, "I can do an explosion so small that it is as big as a small coin to one so big, it takes out this whole nation and only a small part of the nations around it."
Naruto, Tenshi, and Kohaku's eyes all widened and the two demon holders gasped lightly.
"Tenshi, you did say that Daija had the same power Kohaku does. So he has copied this power, right?" Naruto said slowly.
"Hai." Tenshi said, swallowing.
"And he has an army of heaven power holders..." Kohaku muttered.
"Awwww crap! This isn't good at all!" Naruto cried, grabbing his head. Xixi blinked, then put up his hands.
"Ah, um, only Ittan's can cover a range that big though. The fourths can not nor can a human given that power. The humans can only cover about the size of this village." Xixi said quickly. Naruto sighed deeply, rubbing his head.
"It's great that he can't go that far, but it's still bad." he whined.
"But," Xixi said, growing serious. "It takes a lot of energy for something like that. To do something that big and still be able to reform, you have to have a lot of energy. It would have to be the only heaven power you could use that day, unless you use smaller heaven powers."
"Anyway," Tenshi said, shaking his head and hands, "Xixi, I am very glad to have you with me and on the team now." He bowed to the Ittan who smiled down at him.
"Thank you, master."
"Now, I and Kohaku-kun must go. You can make yourself at home. I can promise you that my nee-san, Hikari, will not try to kill you. Try to get along with Riri, and if you have any questions to ask about anything, Mimi is here for you. Pretty soon, I'd like to take you some where so we can see all you can do and train." Tenshi said. Then he smiled, his eyes closing softly, "I'm very happy about having another Ittan. I have another baby!" he cooed, clapping his hands together then pressing his chin against them, smiling cutely.
Xixi stared down at him, a light blush spreading across his cheeks.
"Uhhh... thanks..." he muttered. Why did his master have to be so small and cute?
KohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTensKohaTens
It had taken them an hour, an hour to finally get out of the Uchiha main house to make their way to Ichiraku, and it made Kohaku mad.
Right after Tenshi was done talking to Xixi, Hikari had dragged the boy up the stairs to her room to help her get ready for a date she was having with her boy of the week. Why she did that, Kohaku wasn't sure. She said something about Tenshi knowing just how people worked and what most liked.
Naruto tried to talk Hikari out of going on the date, but it just ended with him getting a few pairs of shoes thrown at his head. Sasuke looked very grumpy, apparently not liking the thought of Hikari going out on a date – another date-- much less watching her get ready and leave for one. Kohaku stuck with him for most of the time that Tenshi was held hostage.
Then, after Hikari left in a rush for her date, it took Tenshi what seemed like forever to find his coupons. Kohaku at first wondered why the hell it was taking him so long when his room was extremely neat. But he soon found out Naruto had stole them and hid them in his room. Tenshi practically tore up his Chichiue's room trying to find the coupons.
Finally, they were able to leave. Kohaku brooded the whole way to Ichiraku as Tenshi bounced along happily, eager to eat some ramen.
"La-Li-Ho!" Tenshi shouted as he burst into Ichiraku Ramen, a blinding smile on his face, and a brooding Hyuuga behind him.
"Welcome!" Ayame greeted happily. Ayame had taken over Ichiraku eight years ago. Her father had let her take over, and she took it proudly. Her father had lived to be very old and died four years after she took over. Now Ayame son was helping her with Ichiraku Ramen.
"Hi-ya, Baba-chan!" Tenshi remarked, bounding over to one of the stools.
"Oi, otouto." came a very familiar deep voice from the angel's left. He looked over to see his brother sitting on the stool next to him. Tenshi hadn't even noticed Masami was there when he entered.
"Nii-chan!" he exclaimed, glomping his older brother. Masami hugged the boy back, laughing lightly. "I should have known you'd be here!" Tenshi remarked as he sat back down in his seat. Masami look around Tenshi to the boy next to him.
"Oi, Kohaku-chan." he said, smiling. The boy nodded back.
"What are you going to have today, Tenshi-chan?" Ayame asked, leaning over the counter towards the boy.
"One miso ramen, please!" he giggled, smiling for her.
"Beef ramen will be fine." Kohaku told her as she looked at him.
"One more, Masami-kun?" she asked the blond, who nodded enthusiastically.
"Alright. Two miso ramens and one beef, coming right up!" she remarked, turning to make them.
"So, Tenshi-chan, how is your day so far?" Kouta asked, Ayame's son. He had brown hair just like hers, but he had pretty pale blue eyes. Tenshi guessed his father had eyes like that as well.
"It's been great! A new Ittan showed up today." he told the boy.
"Oh really?" Kouta said, slightly surprised. "You have to let me see 'em."
"I will. He's name is Xixi. He's a mouse." Tenshi told him, smiling lightly.
"Really? Cool." he smiled at the angel and leaned on the counter, resting his chin on the palm of his hand.
Kohaku's eyes narrowed at the boy, his body tensing. No one seemed to notice except Masami, who cut his eyes at the boy.
Kohaku scowled at the boy as he talked with Tenshi. He was staring at Tenshi with stars in his eyes.
Does Kouta... like Tenshi? Is he flirting with him? His mind growled. He glared at the brown haired boy. Damn him. He better not! I'll kill him! His mind roared. Masami watched him discreetly.
Kohaku's glare got harder as Kouta leaned closer, his eyes sparkling more and his voice taking a smooth tone. Kohaku's frame shook and Masami smiled to himself, looking away from the boy.
I'm going to-- He paused, blinking, Wait... Why do I care? Tenshi's just my friend. Nothing more. SO why do I care that he is flirting with him? He thought, confused. Maybe just my over protective instincts... Yeah, that's it.
"Here's your ramen, boys!" Ayame said, setting the bowls of ramen in front of them. Tenshi's eyes brightened along with Masami's, and they both quickly grabbed their chop-sticks, breaking them apart.
"Thanks, baa-san!" Tenshi remarked.
"Itadakimasu!" Both Uchiha's shouted, diving into their ramen the second after. Kohaku calmly started to eat his own, trying not to roll his eyes at the two Uchihas next to him.
On Tenshi's third bowl and Masami's fourth, someone decided to come up to Ichiraku.
"Oi, figures you would be here, Masami-nii." a female voice said. Both Masami and Tenshi turned, looking at the source of the voice, Kohaku just glanced over his shoulder.
"Oh, Hikari-imtouto." Masami said, swallowing a mouth full of noddles.
"Nee-san!" Tenshi remarked, smiling at his older sister, who smiled back.
"I thought you were on a date." Masami said, leaning his back against the counter behind him.
"I am." Hikari scuffed, turning her head up and to the side a little bit, but her eyes were still looking straight into Masami's.
"Well, where is he?" Masami asked, eying his sister.
"He'll be back shortly! He went into the shop a few shops down, he told me to wait here." she smirked, closing her eyes, "I bet he's getting me something special."
Masami snorted. "Well, he's wasting his money. You'll just dump the guy by Friday, and mind you, today is Wednesday."
Hikari huffed, putting her hands on her hips and glaring at her older brother. "What makes you think that, Aniki?"
"Because you do that with all the guys you date." Masami answered curtly. Hikari made a surprised/annoyed sound and straighted her back.
"Ne, ne, ne! Hikari-nee, Aniki, let's not start a fight now!" Tenshi pleaded, holding up his hands, his bowl of ramen lay forgotten beside him.
"It's a plea to deaf ears, 'Shi-chan." Kohaku muttered, eyes closed and still eating his own ramen.
"I just think your jealous!" Hikari shouted. Masami raised an fine golden eyebrow.
"Jealous? Of the boys you date, or you? Because for one thing, there is no way I am jealous of those boys. Sorry sis, I'm not for incest."
Hikari glared harder, her face turning a little red.
"Eww, no. Not jealous of them. Jealous of me!" she growled. Masami blinked.
"Uhh, last time I checked sis, I was straight. I don't think that's changed at all." He propped his elbows on the counter behind him, his eyes closing for a second.
Hikari stomped her foot, frustrated. "No! That's not what I meant either!"
"Guys, please stop--"
"Then what do you mean?"
"That you are jealous of me--"
"I told you, I'm straight."
"No! Shut up and let me tell you!"
"Well, if you wouldn't take so long I would."
"Guys--"
"Just shut up, Masami!"
"What did you mean?"
"Nee-san, Aniki--"
"I meant, you're jealous that I've been going on dates with other people and you have not!"
It got quiet at Ichiraku, no one making a sound, besides Kohaku slurping up the rest of his ramen. Tenshi dropped his hands, looking back and forth between his siblings. Hikari was huffing, glaring at her older brother and Masami was staring blankly at his younger, dark eyed sister. Kohaku stopped eating once he heard everyone stop talking. He looked over at them, curious, but doing nothing else.
Tenshi saw something flash in his elder brothers eyes for a second before the much older male swiftly turned on his stool, so he was facing the counter again. Masami waved his hand in the air, like he was trying to shoo away a fly.
"I don't care for such peaty things." he said calmly. Hikari raised her head a little, staring at the eldest Uchiha heirs back.
"Tsst, whatever." she muttered, looking away. Tenshi blinked, staring at his brother.
Is he...
"I must be going now." Hikari said, looking somewhere to her left. "Bye." she said simply, walking away from the shop. Masami lifted a hand, but that was all he did.
Kohaku dropped his chop sticks into his bowl, staring at Masami as Tenshi was. Curiously.
"'Sami?" Tenshi muttered, leaning towards the blond in his chair some.
"Hn." Tenshi's eyes narrowed some, his eyebrows dropping, almost furrowing on his brow.
I knew it.
He has a safe guard like you and your Otousan do, cub. He'll act all cool and cold and almost distant when something bugs or bothers him.
Right. His response to Hikari and his posture give it away. The 'Hn' doesn't really. That's just an Uchiha thing, though the way it was forced out...
"You alright?" Tenshi asked, cocking his head to the side. Masami didn't say anything for a second, but then he turned his head towards the raven, grinning.
"I'm fine, otouto! What makes you ask?" he asked, grinning in a fox like manner. Tenshi stared at him for a minute, his lips in a small frown.
"...Nothing. Just asking." he said, pressing his hands on the stool between his legs.
"Anyway!" Masami suddenly said, standing up. Tenshi followed him with his eyes, looking up at his brother. "I should be going now. Radiou is expecting me."
"Radiou? What are you two planing on doing?" Tenshi asked.
"Ah, nothing really. Just going to go show off our stud-manliness."
Kohaku rolled his eyes at that.
"Radiou has stun-manliness? I thought only you and Otousan had that?"
"Well, Radiou kind of... threatened me if I didn't let him have the title too. Otousan did the same so..." Masami trailed off, his eyes drifting off to the side. "Anyway, I'm still a sexy stud muffin."
Tenshi blinked. "Muffins are emo cupcakes... So now your a stud emo cupcake!" he remarked. Masami smiled, rubbing the top of his little brothers head.
"You forgot sexy!" he laughed. Then he turned to go. "Bye, Tenshi-chan, Kohaku-chan!" he called, jogging out of the shop.
"Bye." Kohaku muttered.
"Bye, Nii-chan!" Tenshi yelled, waving. Once Masami was out of sight, Tenshi dropped his hand and stared in the direction he disappeared, head cocked to the side.
"What was wrong with him?" Kohaku asked, staring at his best friend.
"Not sure..." Tenshi muttered, his small fangs clamping down on his lower lip and his thumb of his right finger pressing and rubbing against his index finger.
He thought for a minute, nawing on his lower lip. Kohaku was tempted to make him stop.
"I meant, you're jealous that I've been going on dates with other people and you have not!"
Kohaku stared, transfixed on the pink, pouty lower lip being tortured by Tenshi's sharp fangs. But what really made him stare was, every six or so seconds, a small, pink appendage would dart from between the pouty lips and lick the lower one before darting back in the small cavern. He knew Tenshi licked his lips often, that's why Tenshi often didn't have to lick his lips to heal with them. He licked them so much that the healing power stayed on them. He wondered if Tenshi ever got chapped lips, thought he doubted it, due to the healing power once more.
Kohaku stared at the angel longer, blocking out everything else. Then suddenly, Tenshi clapped his hands together loudly and only a slit second after, did he practically throw himself at Kohaku, surprising the Hyuuga so much he made a small noise of surprise.
"Kohaku! I got it!" Tenshi yelled, grinning in a cat like fashion. Kohaku blinked, leaning back some away from the raven who got a little to much into his personal space.
"Got what, 'Shi-chan?" he ask, staring up in the dancing eyes of his best friend.
"The perfect idea! To help Masami-nii!" Tenshi giggled, pushing himself closer to the Hyuuga.
"That is...?" Kohaku asked, trying to create some distance between himself and the Uchiha without falling off the stool he was sitting on.
"We are going to help Masami get a girlfriend!" the koneko yipped. Kohaku blinked and Tenshi pulled back, sitting on his own stool, bouncing happily.
"Tenshi, that is one of the most stupid ideas I have heard in-- wait," Kohaku paused, blinking, "We?"
"Hai, we!" Tenshi cooed, smiling at the older male. "You are going to help me, whether you like it or not."
Kohaku sighed, shaking his head.
"You do know that trying to find Masami a girlfriend is like sticking a nail is rice brand?" he told the angel. Tenshi huffed.
"Not true! You lie!" he yelled, smacking the coupons down on the counter and the other money to cover the bowls that that coupons did not cover. He waved bye to Ayame and Kouta and fled out of the ramen shop. Kohaku rolled his eyes and quickly followed after him.
"Tenshi--"
"Lies!" Tenshi yelled, snickering to himself. He knew this was annoying the Hyuuga to no end and loved it.
"Tenshi would--" Kohaku sighed, but Tenshi cut him off again.
"Lies."
Kohaku glared at the boys back, getting closer to him.
"Tens--"
"I said lies!"
"TENSHI! If I agree to help you will you shut up?!" Kohaku yelled. Tenshi looked back at him, smiling.
"Hai." he said and Kohaku glared at him.
"You little brat..." he grumbled and Tenshi just giggled. The angel grabbed his hand and Kohaku blinked, staring at the younger boys hand.
"Come on then, 'Haku-chan!" he raven laughed, pulling him along. Kohaku felt a soft blush appear on his cheeks after it fully came to him that Tenshi was holding his hand. He fought it down best he could.
By the time he got the blush to go away, Tenshi abruptly stopped and a loud voice was suddenly heard.
"Tenshi-chan!" Koseto yelled loudly, waving his arm in the air. Tenshi smiled, waving with his free hand back at the older boy.
"Oi, Koseto-kun." he called back. Koseto ran up to them, Atsuko and Inka walking behind him casually.
"How are you today?" the Gashou asked, cocking his head slightly to the side.
"I'm fine!" Tenshi chirped, smiling.
"What are you two doing?"Atsuko asked once she was next to Koseto.
"We're going to help Masami-nii find a girlfriend!" Tenshi bounced slightly. "Oooh, nee-chan, Inka-san, Koseto-kun, you wanna help?" he asked. Koseto nodded the second after Tenshi finished.
"Hai, hai! I do." he said, grinning brightly. Both Atsuko and Inka looked at each other, eyebrows raised.
"Well, um Tenshi..." Atsuko started, looking away from her best friend, "You know that trying to find nii-san a girlfriend is pointless and a waste of effort?"
Tenshi blinked, then pouted.
"Is not!" he yelled back.
"Don't start again, baka." Kohaku grumbled, glancing over at his team mate.
Hearing his voice, Inka finally looked over to the young Hyuuga. As Tenshi and Atsuko argued over it if was pointless or not, Inka let himself look the Hyuuga over carefully, who was staring at Tenshi, half amused and half annoyed. He noticed that the Hyuuga's arm was out some and his hand was holding another's. He blinked when he noticed that it was Tenshi's hand, though it looked more like Tenshi had grabbed his hand first.
Kohaku felt eyes on him and turned his gaze to the Nara. He realized that Inka was looking right at him and realized that he was still holding hands with Tenshi. He quickly pulled his hand away, surprising Tenshi some. Kohaku face turned a light shade of red and he looked away from the angel and Inka. Tenshi blinked, realizing, after Kohaku let his hand go, that he had been holding the Hyuuga's hand still and his cheeks turned a darker pink then they already were.
Inka's eyes narrowed slightly. Usually when two people-- no, two boys hold hands and they aren't family that means they are together. But Inka knew Kohaku well, and he knew the two boys were not together. If they were together, Kohaku would let everyone know about it, besides most of his clan. He would show that Tenshi belonged to him so no one else would try to get the younger boy. The way he pulled his hand back meant that they weren't together. Plus, the Hyuuga seemed embarrassed, but not for the reason that it was like he was gay...
"Actually, 'Suko," Inka suddenly said, looking away from the red Hyuuga, "We have nothing to do today, so how about it? It'll entertain Koseto and give us something to do. It doesn't sound too bad." Atsuko blinked at him, a little confused on Inka sudden change of heart. They both stared at each other, Atsuko trying to read what the Nara was thinking.
It didn't take long to figure out, and the Uchiha girl smirked, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Alright. We'll help you, otouto." she said. Tenshi smiled ear to ear, jumping up and down.
"Yay! This is going to be fun!" he chirped, bounding forward. "On to find Masami-nii--"
"Oi, rosuto koneko." a familiar voice said, causing Tenshi to blink and look over to his right.
"Kataro-kun!" Tenshi exclaimed, practically tackling the inu-boy. Kataro hugged the younger boy back, chuckling softly.
"What are you up too?" he ask once Tenshi let him go. He could feel eyes on him and knew who was staring at him, he didn't have to look up to confirm it.
"We're going to help Masami-nii get a girlfriend!" Tenshi exclaimed. Kataro nodded, smiling more.
"Sounds like fun. Can I help?"
"Hai, hai, hai, Kataro-kun!"
The inu grinned, about to say something when someone heavier then himself tackled him.
"Oi! Kataro-chan!" Koseto yelled, practically picking up the smaller boy and holding him against his chest in a hug. Kataro blinked in surprise before his face got a little pink and he started to try and push the older boy away.
"Gah, Koseto! Let me go!" he whined, pushing against the other males chest.
"I'm so happy to see you, Kataro-chan!" Koseto cooed. He paused, blinking when he felt something tugging on the end of his pants leg. He looked down to see Hibki pulling at his pants leg with his teeth. Koseto grabbed him quickly and pulled the pup close like he was doing with Kataro.
"Koseto-kun! Let me and Hibki go!" Kataro whined some more, looking at the older boy with a pouty look. Koseto grinned, shaking his head.
"But I don't want to, Kata-chan! I's loves yous!" the older boy pretty much wailed. Kataro then proceeded to punch the older male in the chest till he let go and Hibki tried to bite the Gashou.
"Koseto, let Kataro go." Atsuko said sternly.
"You're going to crush my cousin and he's useless that way." Kohaku grumbled, looking annoyed.
Koseto dropped the inu-boy and his dog. Kataro landed on his butt and glared up at the black haired boy hovering over him with a smirk on his face.
"What are you smirking about?" Kataro asked. Koseto stared at him for a second before shrugging.
"No reason." he said, turning from the younger boy. Kataro go up and dusted himself off, annoyed.
"Anyway! If you're going to help, Kataro-kun, Hibki, then come on! We have to find nii-san!" Tenshi yelled, grabbing Kohaku's wrist once more and started to drag him off.
"Tenshi!" Kohaku yelled, his face red yet again.
"Oi, what do you think you are doing?" a female voice suddenly yelled. They all turned to see Shima standing behind them, her hands on her hips.
"Here I've been looking for you two all morning and I find you two about to do something fantastic. Did you plan to leave me out of it?" she said, her eyes narrowing on her two team mates, "We're a team, I'm your other team mate, you should include me in this!" she barked, raising a deadly fist at them. Both boy sweat dropped and Tenshi raised his hands, dropping Kohaku's wrist.
"Gomen, Shima-chan. We didn't know you would be interested in this." he said in a apologetic voice.
"You should know by now, Tenshi-chan, that I'll go for anything that has to do with relationships!" she remarked, raising her chin in a proud manner.
"So, you're in?" Kataro asked, looking over at her. She smiled, nodding her head.
"For sure."
Kohaku sighed, looking over the group of kids around him.
"This is kind of a big group for something like this, don't you think, Shi-chan?" he asked. Tenshi shook his head.
"Nope! The more the merrier!" he chirped, turning to go. "Now, off to find Masami-nii-san!"
RadiMasaRadiMasaRadiMasaRadiMasaRadiMasaRadiMasaRadiMasaRadiMasaRadiMasa
Masami: 17
Radiou: 18
"Masami, I think you should talk things over with the tree first before you get violent with it." Radiou said, folding his arms over his muscular chest as he watched his best friend slam his fists and legs into a poor oak tree.
"Shut up, Rad." Masami growled, making kunai's fly at the helpless tree with his telekinesis. Radiou sighed, cocking an eyebrow at the blond.
"What's got your panties in a bunch?" he asked, turning his head to the side a little.
"Sister." Masami said plainly. Radiou thought for a minute.
"Hikari?"
"Hai." the blond swung his foot around, hitting the tree hard and making the dent in it deeper. Radiou rolled his neck.
"You two always frustrate each other." he muttered, "How come I never here any complaints about the little one. About Tenshi?"
Masami paused, dropped his raised leg that was about to hit the tree once more.
"Because, otouto gives me nothing to complain about." he answered.
"Little angel, huh?" Radiou sighed, looking away from his friend. "You know, for as long as he has been back, I haven't seen him once."
"You'll see him sooner or later." Masami replied, moving away from the tree and to his friend.
"But is--"
"Masami-nii!" a young voice cut Radiou off. Both males turned to see a white and black blur lunged itself at Masami. Masami caught the blur, blinking is surprise.
"Tenshi-chan? What are you doing here?" Masami asked, pushing Tenshi from him a little so he could look at the younger boy better.
"We want to help you, nii-san!" he exclaimed. Masami raised an eyebrow.
"We?" he questioned. Tenshi nodded and pointed behind him. Masami looked where he was pointing and his eyebrows raised at who he saw. "You all are helping with what?"
"Tenshi dragged us into the idea of helping you find a girlfriend, nii-san."Atsuko said, hands shoved down into her pockets. Both Masami and Radiou blinked. Then Radiou busted out laughing, holding his head in one hand and his stomach with the other.
"Help Masami find a girlfriend?" he laughed, shaking his head. "Sorry, but that is impossible!"
Masami blinked, turning to his friend, "Excuse me? Impossible?"
"Hai." Radiou said, smirking at his friend, "Sorry man, I know a lot of girls like you and all, but you wont be able to hold a girlfriend for over a day or so." Masami glared at him as he laughed on.
"I can too!" he shouted back childishly. Radiou raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really? Prove it." he pushed Masami on. Said blond nodded his head with determination.
"I will!" he yelled, puffing his chest out. Radiou just shook his head and turned back to the others.
"So, you're going to help Masami get a girlfriend?" he asked.
"Yup!" Tenshi chirped, nodding his head. Radiou blinked, staring at the angel.
"This your little brother, 'Sami?" he asked the blond. Masami nodded his face taking on a curious look.
Radiou's eyes slowly swept over the small boy, sizing him up and everything. It made Tenshi squirm in an uncomfortable manner and Masami, Atsuko, and Kohaku all lowered their eyebrows, suddenly feeling defensive.
After a minute, Radiou looked away from the koneko and to the koneko's elder brother.
"He is just as you said, Masami. He looks like he is the Oomizu." he spoke to Masami, but it was like he was talking to them all.
Before anyone could reply, Radiou slipped out of serious mode and placed his hands behind his head.
"As much as exciting it sounds to help find Masami a girlfriend, I pass. I've got better things to do them spend my time on that retard." he said. Masami glared at him.
"Asshole!" he yelled, about to attack Radiou but Kohaku was suddenly in front of him.
"Come on, moron." he grumbled, grabbing Masami's wrist, "I've been dragged into this and I like it to end soon."
Masami blinked as Kohaku pulled him off in the direction they all came.
"...Did you just call me a moron?!" he yelled, trying to pull out of the younger boys hold.
"Hai. Now shut up, dipshit." Kohaku growled.
Radiou rolled his eyes and turned to leave, listening to Masami sputter at Kohaku's "lack of respect for his elders" and yell out in protest as Tenshi started pushing him from behind to get to the village market faster.
SasuNaruSasuNaruSasuNaruSasuNaruSasuNaruSasuNaruSasuNaruSasuNaruSasuNaruSasuNaru
That was it! Naruto was tired of it. He had dealt with it for a little over 20 years, but now he had enough. He understood that the Hokage's protection was very important and all but he was the Hokage for petes sake! Being Hokage meant you were the strongest shinobi in the village, so Naruto was pretty sure he could take care of himself. He didn't need ANBU following him around everywhere he went when he left the office or took a short trip to another small village.
He brought this up with his family and all five of them agreed with him, although the oldest of the five was a little hesitant. (coughSasukecough) His oldest son had mentioned in a muttering tone that all he had to do is change into a female, but not his regular busty blond one, and they wouldn't know it was really him, since Naruto could mask his chakra so well. Naruto thought that was a great idea and went to Hikari to ask her how to do make up and all that. She had instructed him on it a taught him a lot of things, but not everything she knew.
And now it left him here, frowning at a small tube of rosy red lip stick that was making his lips tingle in a weird way.
He was practicing putting make up on, but not in his female form. And he thought what his luck that the one time he had a question about something, his eldest daughter isn't around to answer it. So, he thought to go to the only other person in the Uchiha estate at the moment.
"Oi! Sasuke!" Naruto called, walking into his husbands study, lip stick in hand, "Put this on." he said, holding up the tube.
Sasuke looked up from the book he was reading with a confused expression. "Why?"
"Just because-! Put it on!" he groaned, jumping up and down.
Sasuke just stared at him, blinking. "Why?"
"I need to see if you have the same reaction I do." he told his husband. Sasuke still stared at him.
"Why do you have lip stick anyway?" he asked.
"For when I travel through different villages in my female form! When I want to go on my own and not have ANBU at my side."
There was a awkward pause in which the two men just stared at each other.
"So, why do you want me to put it on?" Sasuke finally asked. Naruto waved his arms franticly in the air.
"To see if you have the same reaction!"
"Reaction?" Sasuke questioned.
"Yeah, you'll feel something all over. I need to know if you feel it too and it's not me having an allergic reaction." he informed his husband. There was yet another paused and the Uchiha leader cocked an eyebrow.
"...Why me?"
"Because you're the only one around!" the kitsune snapped, "Now put it on, bastard."
They stared at each other, a blank expression on Sasuke's face. Naruto blinked, suddenly pouting. "Please?"
Sasuke sighed at his wife's puppy dog eyes, "Fine," he stood up, setting the book down, "Give me the lip stick."
Naruto smiled ear to ear, handing the older male the tube. "Thank you." he said in a sweet way and Sasuke just grunted, moving towards their room.
Sasuke put the lip stick on, feeling very awkward the whole time, and was now staring into the mirror above their dresser with a blank expression on his face. Naruto was but only a few feet away, watching his lover with curious eyes. He had let himself fall out of complete human form, so his five tails wagged happily behind him and his ears stood up on his head. Sasuke contemplated what Naruto truly was doing.
He turned his head, looking at the kitsune. "This isn't a trick, is it?"
Naruto shook his head, "No."
"...A joke?"
"Nope!"
Sasuke looked back at the mirror and stared for a minute, feeling himself getting annoyed. He glared at Naruto, "You're a pain in my ass." Naruto grinned at that.
"But I'm only your pain! No one else's." he said, clapping his head together. Sasuke rolled his eyes, shaking his head.
"Right." he muttered as he started to move his head around in different angles to get a better look. "What am I suppose to be feeling?"
"That's it," Naruto said, putting his hands on his hips, ears twitching, "I can't tell you that. You are going to tell me so then I'll know if I have a allergic reaction."
Sasuke snorted and a long pause followed. "Is it suppose to tingle? Like this tingle sensation all over my lips? Like they are on... fire, perhaps?" he asked the blond. Naruto nodded happily, a foxy grin on his face.
"Yup!"
Sasuke scowled after that, "You idiot, it probably has mito-- whatever stuff in it. You know, like the stuff Sakura likes to put on herself to clean her skin or something like that."
"No it doesn't. I read the label." Naruto said defiantly, "I have a copy of it as well. Wanna see it?" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a copy of the label to give to his lover. Sasuke stared at him in annoyance.
"...No." he growled. Naruto shrugged and put it back in his pocket.
"Why did you want to see if I had a reaction?"
"Because it has mint in it and I'm allergic to mint." Naruto told them, cocking his head to the side. Sasuke glared at him once more.
"You could have just told me that in the first place." he grumbled. But Naruto shook his head, disagreeing.
"No. I still wanted to make sure. Turns out," he paused, smiling ear to ear, "I don't have an allergic reaction!" he giggled, very happy.
There was another long awkward pause in which Sasuke's glare intensified.
"You're a moron, dobe." he said plainly.
Naruto pulled his hands under his chin, looking undoubtedly cute, "Yeah, but you married me, so what does that make you?" he asked in a innocent tone.
"..."
Naruto gave him a questioning look and Sasuke just looked away, grabbing a tissue to wipe the lip stick off. Naruto just giggled again. He jumped forward, taking the lip stick away from Sasuke and shoving it in his pocket.
"I'm going to go get ready now!" he cooed. He leaned up on his toes and kissed Sasuke gently, smiling as he pulled back.
"Whatever dobe." he muttered, smiling at the blond fox. Naruto turned from him, running out of the room.
"See you later, teme!" he called back.
Sasuke rolled his eyes, turning back to the mirror. His wife could be so random and stupid.
As his eyes caught the mirror, he noticed something red on his lips and he growled loudly.
"DAMN IT DOBE! I JUST GOT THAT ALL OFF!!"
Operation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasamiOperation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasami
"Why are we in the market place?" Masami asked looking around.
"Because a lot of girls are around here and it's a good place to start." Koseto told him, looking around.
"Alright!" Tenshi chirped, clapping his hands loudly, "Now we have to find somebody..." he muttered, looking around.
"Are you sure you should be running this, Tenshi-chan?" Inka asked, looking the small boy over, "You're only 12 and haven't dated anyone yourself. You also seem really innocent and all. Do you really think you can do this?"
"Yup!" Tenshi remarked, smiling, "I read minds, Inka-san. I know humans better then most 50 year olds do. And I know my brother better then anybody, sometimes I know him better then he knows himself. Plus I've read books on this!"
All of Inka's team rolled their eyes, Kohaku closed his with a sigh, and Shima and Kataro just smiled at the youngest boy in the group.
"Anyway, we need Masami to gain someones attention. We should first see if anyone has interest in Masami and Tenshi should read their mind if we think they do." Shima said, glancing around the market for anyone.
"Any ideas how?" Kataro asked, eyes sweeping over the ones around him. They were all quiet for a minute before Masami's face brightened and he smiled slyly.
"I know!" everyone in the group looked at him, curious. They were all asking "how?" silently. He grinned in a fox like manner before slowly reaching up to his head band.
He started to untie it slowly, moving his hips slowly back and forth as a dancer would. Then he started to sing in a low, husky voice, and his eye lids lowered in a seductive manner. He suddenly got a completely different atmosphere around him, a heavier one, but a good heavy. Well, that actually depended on who you were.
"I'm too sexy for my headband. Too sexy for my headband. So sexy it hurts!" Sang the blond, completely taking off his headband. Most all of the kids around him blinked before Koseto, Kataro, and Atsuko started laughing, Inka sighed deeply, and Kohaku glared in annoyance. Tenshi gapped before jumping up and smacking the back of his brothers head.
"Masami-nii!" he yelled loudly, half embarrassed, half amused. Masami chuckled, dodging his little brothers flying hand.
"Alright, I'll stop!" he called out, still chuckling.
Kohaku rolled his eyes and glanced over at the girl next to him who was staring at Masami wide eyed.
"You know, that was kind of hot." she muttered, blinking. "I wonder which parent he got that from?" she wondered out loud. Kohaku shook his head, closing his eyes.
"I don't want to know." he grumbled, folding his arms over his chest.
Kataro sighed deeply at the two Uchiha males before him. They were getting off task, "We seriously need to find a way to get--"
"I think they already have." Atsuko muttered, cutting Kataro off. Kataro looked were she was looking and his eyes widened in surprise.
A few girls had gathered near by and were eying Masami in a almost hungry manner.
"Look, there's Uchiha Masami!" one said, pointing at the blond. "I heard someone yell out his name and turns out, he really is here!"
"Oh, how exciting! I wonder what he is doing here and with all those other people?" another said.
"Aw, girls look at the cute little raven near him. Isn't he absolutely adorable?! I just want to hug him to death!" another said.
"Yeah, he is." the first one replied as they watched Tenshi lecture and fuss at Masami.
"The raven is Uchiha Tenshi, Masami's little brother." another girl had said.
"You mean the one with--?"
"Yeah."
"But he is soooo adorable!"
"I know. I wonder what they are doing?"
Right after that was said Tenshi stomped his foot loudly at Masami and took a deep breath.
"Masami! It's not time to goof off! We're trying to find you a girlfriend, remember!?"
A few girlish gasp were heard and the group of girls suddenly got very excited.
"Tenshi is looking for a girlfriend for Masami?!"
"Oh, I wanna be his girlfriend!"
Both Uchiha males sixth sense they got from the father kick in and both cut their eyes over in the direction of the mass of females. As if on cue, the group started heading there way quickly and both Uchiha heirs stepped back quickly.
"Time to go!" Masami said quickly, turning to dart the opposite direction of the mass.
"Everyone get moving." Tenshi called and the whole group quickly separated, most of the just getting out of the way of the mass, but the two Uchiha males took off running, the herd of female right behind them.
Operation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasamiOperation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasami
After losing the herd of fan girls, finding a safe place to be, and regrouping, someone finally came up with a good, effective plan to help Masami. That person turned out to be the genius Inka, naturally, and after he made Masami go to a place he liked and picked out a girl that seemed to fit his taste, Masami went to talk to her. Inka said to talk to her as he normally would talk to a girl. Things went well and Masami hit on her like he normally does with females that aren't his sisters or friends of one of his siblings. He managed to get her number and a date set up for the next day. That's were we find the gang, watching the eldest Uchiha heir through a window in the resterant and he lead the girl he was with by the name Yufuko to their table.
"Damn it Kataro, move! I can't see!" Shima snapped, trying to push the inu-dog out of the way.
"No! I was here first!" he snipped back, glaring at her.
"Both of you shut up before I have to detain you." Kohaku growled, sending them a warning look.
"Kohaku scoot over a bit. I can't see too well." Atsuko said, moving in closer to the window. Kohaku didn't budge, which earned him a glare from the Uchiha heiress.
Inka sighed from behind them all, truly bored and wanting to take a nap.
"You guys really need to stop fussing." Tenshi said from above them all. Everyone below him, save for Inka, glared at the hovering boy. He blinked innocently. His levitating power was to his advantage for because of it, he could see just fine in the window and not have someone fighting for space with him.
"Yeah, seriously!" Koseto remarked, suddenly appearing behind Kataro. He leaned forward so he himself could see into the window. He put his hands on either side of the inu-boy, bracing himself against the windows edge, his chest flush against the Hyuuga's back.
Kataro's face grew red when he felt a strong, firm chest pressed against his back and he started to squirm, trying to get away from the older boy.
"Koseto!" he whined, trying to push the Gashou off. Koseto just smirked and pushed closer, having to lift his head some so he could get all of his head over Kataro's.
"What? I wanna see too, you know." he told Kataro. Hibki glared up at the teenaged boy, not liking how close he was to Kataro. Koseto just raised an eyebrow at the dog.
"I have a solution to our problem." Atsuko suddenly said, pulling away from the window., "Koseto or Shima can make a little ink creature and can make it go in there by Masami to watch and listen in. Then they can do that cool trick they learned not to long ago thats like seeing and hearing everything one of the creatures sees and hears on a scroll, like TV." Everybody save for Tenshi, Kohaku, and Inka perked up.
"Yeah, great idea!" Kataro said excitedly, moving away from Koseto since Atsuko had moved, giving him room to move.
"Ah, but guys," Tenshi butted in, flipping down from the air and onto the ground next to Kohaku, "I really don't like the idea of spying on him that closely. I was fine with the window because it wasn't so close and we couldn't eavesdrop"
"Ah, come on, Tenshi-chan!" Shima whined, "Don't ruin the fun!"
"But nii-san should have his privacy!" the angel protested.
"There is no point in arguing, Shi-chan, though I do agree with Tenshi." Kohaku muttered, closing his eyes in boredom.
"Let's just do it." Inka muttered, motioning to Koseto.
"But we shouldn't do this!" Tenshi yelled, but was ignored.
Operation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasamiOperation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasami
"Kami-sama, I can't believe we are doing this..." Tenshi moaned as he tightened his grip on Kohaku's shoulders, pressing his face closer to the youngest Hyuuga's, his breath against the older boys cheek, causing a shiver to go down Kohaku's spine.
"Yeah, me neither." Kohaku breathed, shifting his weight slightly to hold himself up better. He reached up to his shoulders and grabbed one of Tenshi's arms gently. He reached up by his head and grabbed the younger boys chin softly, caressing the angel's chin for a moment.
Then he pushed it away.
"Oi! Jaa'ku!" Tenshi yelled, almost falling off the older boys back. He held on tightly, leaning back over Kohaku's shoulder, "That was mean! I'm trying to watch it too!"
"I thought you said this was wrong?" The Hyuuga said, smirking at the angel on his back. Tenshi scowled at him, looking back at the scroll Koseto had before them all. The Gashou had done as Atsuko had said and made an ink creature for them to watch Masami and his "date". It took only a few "Oh what's he doing?", "He said that?", "That's funny!" for Tenshi to want to see as well. Atsuko and Inka squeezed in tight with everyone else, blocking every way for Tenshi to see the scroll. So he had to hop on Kohaku's back and watch instead.
"Will you both be quiet?! I'm trying to watch here!" Koseto complained loudly. Both boys raised an eyebrow at the Gashou who turned from them and back to the scroll like it was the best thing in the world.
Soon, the date ended and the girl left because she had to help her mother with shopping. Once the girl was gone, Tenshi jumped onto Masami's back.
"So, so, so?! How did it go?!" he asked happily.
"Eh," Masami said, a frown on his face, "I don't like her. We don't click. Plus she's a village girl. I need a ninja."
"Aw." Tenshi pouted for only a minute before smiling once more. "Alright! A ninja girl it is!" he yelled, jumping off his brothers back.
The next tries have a good date went like this:
Koseto's idea: dress sexy to get a lot of attention, ended with getting chased by blushing and drooling fan girls.
Smack!
Kataro's idea: take a girl on a romantic and fun date. Turned out the girl was a Uchiha Male fan girl and nearly raped Masami (as the blond himself put it, although it was hardly that bad) and when she saw Tenshi, she practically suffocated him and nearly molested him. That ended with Kohaku ripping her off of the angel and almost slamming her into the nearest brick wall with his whole arms and hands on fire.
Smack!
Atsuko's idea: take the girl to the movies and share food with her. That ended with Masami wolfing down all the food, leaving none for the girl. He was so into the food, he ignored her and the movie. It ended with the girl storming out of the movie theater. Atsuko forgot to take in account Masami's monstrous apatite he got from their Chichiue.
Smack!
Kohaku's idea: impress the girl with his ninja skills since he was an ANBU and close to getting into the new and improved Root. That started pretty well, but then Masami got too cocky and decided to not use any of his senses, that in which including common sense, and use kunai's and his heaven powers at the same time, all of them. That ended with the girl almost getting nailed with the weapons and scared to death. She left the blond with a strong kick in the face.
Smack! Smack!
Shima's idea: take the girl to a arcade and play games with her. Masami did just that but the completive side he got from both his parents kicked in and instead of letting the girl win a few games as Shima had instructed, he didn't let her win any. He got way to arrogant and cocky and too completive, trying to get her all railed up like all his siblings usually got when they played games with him, including his sisters. The girl ended up getting mad at Masami and calling him an ass before stomping on his foot and leaving in a huff.
SMACK!
Tenshi's idea: take a girl out to eat at a place that Masami liked and to the park. He said to flatter the girl but not to much, it was just a first date. Masami took the girl out to eat and that went very well. He then took her to the park and it seemed that she would like to go on a second date with the blond when the Uchiha jokingly said something stupid that one should not say to a girl. The girl slapped him, calling him a jerk and then left.
SMACK!
Nothing seemed to be working and Tenshi and Kohaku's foreheads were getting very red from smacking them every time Masami messed up. After much trial and error and red foreheads, they finally managed to have a good date with a girl named Yuki and she was up for a second date. Atsuko's team wasn't there the time of the first date and Tenshi's team and Kataro managed not to get any missions the day of the second date neither did Atsuko's team.
They managed to set the date up at one of the bigger houses in the Uchiha district besides the one the Uchiha family lived in. They set it up in the dinning room while Masami went to go pick the girl up at her house.
Kataro picked up a piece of sushi from a plate and tried it, his face taking on a look of bliss.
"My kami-sama Tenshi! This is amazing and it's just sushi! Where did you learn to cook?" he asked the angel, who blushed cutely.
"No one really taught me," he said while fixing a rug by the door of the room, "I just watched Chichiue and Otousan cook often. Guess it comes naturally?"
"It's really good, though!" Kataro pressed on, eating another one. He grabbed one more but before he could put it in his mouth, someone grabbed his wrist and pulled it away from him. He watch in growing horror as someone else's soft pale lips closed over the top half of the sushi and bit it off and chewed it. He blinked and his face grew red when he realized who it was.
"Koseto! Get your own!" he yelled, trying to pull away from the older male. Koseto gave him big innocent eyes.
"But Kataro-chan! This piece looked really good!" he exclaimed, lowering his head once more and taking the rest of the sushi in his mouth. His tongue darted out of his mouth as he pulled the rest of the sushi into his mouth. His tongue went to swoop under the sushi to get it better, licking Kataro's thumb and index finger along the way and he pulled the sushi into his mouth, pretty much sucking in Kataro's thumb and index finger at the same time. His tongue pressed briefly against the tip of the Hyuuga's two digits before his lips quickly let them go.
"And it is very good." the older boy breathed, smirking.
Kataro's face turned as red as a tomato and he pulled his hand back quickly like he had been burned.
"Eww! Gross Koseto! Get your own, damn it!" he yelled, trying to glare at the teenager, but he found it hard to tear his eyes away from the other boys pale lips.
"Koseto, Kataro-nii don't eat all the food. Remember what it's here for." Kohaku said in a stern yet bored manner. Both boys moved away from the table, muttering their apologies.
Kohaku turned his intention to Inka, who was trying to decide what color seating pillows to put down around the table. He was choosing between yellow or dark blue.
"Dark blue." the Hyuuga suddenly said and Inka looked up at him, a little confused, "Yellow doesn't suit well with red. Do dark blue, like the Uchiha clan colors."
Inka did just that and smiled when he was done. "Thanks, Hyuuga." Kohaku nodded to him.
"That does look good. Nice, jaa'ku!" Tenshi chirped, moving towards the table to fit something, moving around his sister.
"Yeah, good job Kohaku-chan. You sure your not gay?" Atsuko asked in a joking manner. But the youngest Hyuuga glared at her anyway.
"Someone check on where nii-san is!" Tenshi ordered. Atsuko smirked at the Hyuuga glaring at her before suddenly poofing out of the room. Because Tenshi had been right behind Atsuko and she had been kneeling down and Kohaku had been glaring at her, when she disappeared that left Kohaku looking at the angel's butt.
He blinked in surprise, his eyes not leaving the small perfectly shape rear end before him. A few seconds later he caught himself a blushed, looking everywhere but the koneko.
Atsuko suddenly appeared right next to Shima making the girl jump.
"He's practically here! Ten yards!" Atsuko yelled.
Everyone scrambled, trying to find a place to hide. Atsuko noticed that Tenshi jumped into a wooden closet and before he could close the doors Atsuko used her shoulder to shove Kohaku in there after him. Then Inka jumped in after them, pulling in Koseto who pulled in Kataro. Then Atsuko grabbed Shima and pulled her in as well then slammed the doors shut quickly.
Now seven people were trapped in a wooden movable closet and squeezed together.
"Damn it, Kataro, move your elbow!" Shima whispered harshly shoving the boy.
"Ow! Don't do that Shima!" the inu-boy growled shoving her back. She growled and shoved him making him fall against Inka who bumped into Kohaku, sending him forward. He brought his hands up quickly to the wall to stop his fall. He shifted his legs to get more comfortable when he felt his knee brush up against a slender leg. He froze and rose his head so he wasn't looking at the ground anymore. He left warm breath against his lips when his head was up all the way and he was looking into deep dark eyes.
He felt a soft blush spread across his face, his heart beat starting to pick up, his breathing changing some. He had no clue why his heart did that and why he was so flustered. It didn't make any since to the Hyuuga and it frustrated him to no end. Every time he got close to the youngest Uchiha, his heart rate would pick up and he would feel the weird sensation in his stomach and chest. He felt completely different around Tenshi then he did with anyone else. A part of him wanted to believe it was because they were best friends, but the other part of him knew that wasn't the reason.
He noticed how Tenshi was staring up at him with big eyes, his back firmly pressed against the wall of the closet. The pink that was always on the koneko's cheeks was darker and Kohaku was surprised that he could tell since hardly any light came into the small closet. The only light that could was through the cracks around the door. He knew Tenshi and himself both could see so well because of their blood line trait, but he wondered if the others besides Atsuko and Kataro could see as well.
They heard Masami and his date enter the room and Koseto moved quickly to try and see out of the cracks in the door. This caused Inka to be pushed back more, his back pressing against Kohaku. The youngest Hyuuga was pushed forward, closer to Tenshi to were their noses were touching.
"Eh, gomen." Kohaku whispered, the blush on his cheeks growing darker.
"It's okay." Tenshi breathed back, his blush covering most all his face and a really dark color.
They stood awkwardly, Kohaku trying to not press his body against Tenshi, although his body was aching to do it anyway. Tenshi was trying to slow his racing heart down and focus on what his brother was doing outside of the closet.
"Oh wow, Masami-kun! This is really good!" Yuki exclaimed happily and Masami replied back in the same way she spoke.
"She likes the food! She likes it!" Shima whispered excitedly, "They are doing well!" She bumped into Koseto who, in turn, moved closer to Kataro. That caused the Hyuuga to push more towards Inka, making the Nara yet against push farther back into Kohaku's back.
Kohaku let out a surprised gasp along with Tenshi as his body was pushed flush against the koneko's. Both boys hearts started racing once more, the blush on Kohaku cheek now covering his whole face and Tenshi whole face and neck turned red.
Kohaku tried to pull back but was unable to thanks to the Nara pressed against his back side. So his arms rested in an almost limp way on either side of Tenshi's head. He shifted to get more comfortable by bending his arms and resting his forearms against the wall. He was now able to pull back a little, but as Inka felt him pushing back, Inka almost lost his footing, pressing Kohaku back even harder against the youngest Uchiha.
Both boys breath caught, Tenshi's face hovering close to Kohaku's neck and the side of Kohaku's face pressed against Tenshi head. Kohaku quickly tried to move but Tenshi's hands flew up, grabbing Kohaku's shoulders.
"It's okay, 'Haku-chan," he whispered, gripping Kohaku's shirt, "Stop trying to move. You make noise." Kohaku nodded against Tenshi head, trying to relax his body, and failing to do so. Without much thought or control, Kohaku's hands moved down to Tenshi small waste and held on to the belt loops on the side of his shorts, his fingers brushing against smooth skin under neither Tenshi's shirt.
He didn't know why, but for some reason his body liked to be pressed up against the koneko. A part of him liked how he had Tenshi pinned between the wall and his own body. A part of him liked the feeling of Tenshi's slender but strong frame pressed flush against his own. Their bodies seemed to fit together perfectly and that part of him wanted to just mesh together with Tenshi, become one with each other. But another part of him was freaking out over it, yelling at him to try to find a way to move. That part of him was confused and freaked out by the strong emotions running through his being and by the pounding in his chest due to his heart. He wanted to know why this tickling sensation was in his gut. Why his heart felt like it could leap out of his chest. Why his body got so heated up around the angel. Why he got all flustered when simply touching the raven. Why he yearned to constantly be by Tenshi and hold him and touch him and kiss him! It was driving him insane and made him more frustrated then he has ever been.
Tenshi was having near the same problem. He didn't know why his hands flew up to grab Kohaku shoulders and hold on. He most certainly didn't need to, but he did anyway. He didn't understand why his heart started to act like it was running a marathon in his chest when Kohaku got so close to him or why such an intense blush covered his whole face and neck. He didn't know why he had the constant need to have some physical contact all the time with the boy pressed against him. He didn't know why he wanted to nuzzle the older males neck and purr lovingly into his smooth, warm skin. He didn't know why he had the urge to nip and lick and kiss at the perfect neck exposed before him. He didn't understand why his hands burned to pull the Hyuuga closer (if that was possible) and hold him close, to cuddle him. None of it made any since to him. Datenshi and Chuushin cheered happily in his mind. Both were urging him to give in to what he was feeling, what his body ached for, but he didn't, feeling embarrassed just at the thought of it. These feelings did not frustrate him, not at all, just made him more curious, like when you shake a birthday present when it is wrapped to try and figure out what it is and you hear a sound of something moving within it. It makes you curious about what is inside and Tenshi was curious to what was in these box of emotions. He knew it was something he would more then likely like and was excited and curious about it. Curious like a cat.
They say curiosity killed the cat. But hopefully not in this case.
After what seemed like forever, Masami and the girl finished eating and left to go to the park. Everyone trying to move and open the door, no one bothering to be quiet now.
"Move, Kataro!" Shima yelled, trying to get to the door.
"I can't, dipshit! It's too crowded!" he yelled back, Hibki barking at Shima from Kataro's jacket.
"Stop moving around guys!" Atsuko yelled, trying to reach the door as well since she was the closest to it.
"Inka, get off my back!" Kohaku complained, pushing back against the Nara.
"Guys, stop fighting and struggling. If you all keep this up we'll never get out!" Tenshi shouted, making everyone shut up. There was a moment of silence in which everyone thought of a way to get out of the closet safely. After a few minute's an annoyed and surprised dog like yelp broke the silence.
"Who the hell his touching my ass!?"
Operation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasamiOperation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasami
After much yelling, fighting, bickering, growling, shoving, and loud complaints of ass touching, stroking, and grabbing Tenshi had enough and blaster a whole through the wood with a chidori. After a awkward moment of dead silence, they all scrambled out of the closet, shoving all along the way. They cleaned up quickly and went to find Masami. He was at Ichiraku's, sitting on a stool eating ramen although he had just ate less than 15 minutes before hand. This is where we find our group, Masami calmly eating ramen while his little brother gaps at him a horror and everyone else looks at him in disbelief.
"What do you mean you don't like her!?" Tenshi yelled, his arms straight out by his sides.
"Exactly what I said, otouto. I just don't like her." Masami said, slurping up more noddles.
"Why?" Shima asked, spinning on one of the stools.
"We just didn't really... click I should say. She was too sweet, too nice and gentle. I need someone stronger, more powerful, but not powerful enough to over power me!" the blond told them, pushing his empty bowl aside.
Atsuko sighed deeply, slamming her foot against the wall.
"So we need to find a girl that is a ninja, can handle Masami's apatite, is completive, can take sarcasm and Masami's stupid jokes with ease, is strong and powerful, but not enough to over power Masami, and is fast enough to avoid his dangerous ninja training and can deal and handle his stupidity." she said, folding her arms in a angry way.
"Yup! And someone who loves my sexy charm!" Masami chirped, smiling, "That's how she has to be! That exactly."
"Well the whole 'powerful but not powerful enough to beat me' thing narrows it down to about," Tenshi said, tapping his chin in a thoughtful manner, "no one in the village!" he yelled, scowling at his older brother. Masami frowned at him.
"Don't be mean, Tenshi."
"Don't be shallow, nii-san. You are pretty shallow, you know." Tenshi grumbled, looking away from the blond.
"I am not shallow! And power if very attractive. You know we all Uchiha's are attracted to it!" Masami snipped back.
"Sexy charm?" Koseto suddenly said, blinking, "You have sexy charm?" Masami gapped at the Gashou, eyes wide and mouth hanging open.
"Why would you question it?!" the blond gasped, "All Uchiha's have sexy charm and are very seductive! We can be very sexy and seductive without even trying!"
Inka raised an eyebrow not agreeing.
"That's not true." Inka said, shaking his head. Now Masami gapped at him.
"H-How could you say that!?" the blond shrieked, appalled, "You know all Uchiha's are! Look at our parents! Everyone sees 'Tousan as a sex god and you know that Chichi was dubbed the hottest Hokage ever. How could their offspring's not have major sex appeal?"
"Don't you like your becoming a bit to full of the your family and yourself?" Inka asked him, amused.
"No! All us Uchiha's are very sexy!" he huffed, folding his arms across his chest.
"I wouldn't say that," Kataro muttered, looking away from the blond. I think only one of them is.
"It's true and you know it!"
"Oi, dumbass, lower your voice. You're scaring off baa-chans customers." a strong female voice said, drawing closer to the group. Masami blinked, turning his body to look out side of Ichiraku. He smiled ear to ear when he recognized who it was.
"Keikai!" Masami yelled, waving his arms around. The purple haired girl smiled, walking up to the group.
"What were you yelling about, baka?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"Masami thinks he has major sex appeal." Atsuko told her, sitting down on one of the stools.
"I do!" the blond shouted, looking at his little sister.
"Masami, don't argue." Keikai told him, smacking his shoulder lightly, "Masami is just in denial. We all no he has no sex appeal." she smirked, looking over at the eldest Uchiha heir. Masami gapped at her, his mouth hanging open, slight hurt in his eyes.
"Keikai! Then explain to me why I have such a huge fan club and why I get so much attention from the female population!" he barked, narrowing his eyes.
"Well," she started, jutting a hip out and cocking her head to the side, "you are the eldest son of Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Naruto, our Hokage, that is the reason for the fan club. As for the other one," she raised an eyebrow at him, "ever heard of pity, moron-san?"
Masami's face twisted up in a scowl and he growled, clearly upset.
"I don't like you right now." he muttered childishly and proceeded to pout. Keikai just giggled before turning back to the others.
"What are all of you up to?" she asked, her golden eyes sweeping over them all.
"Tenshi dragged us all into this stupid ordeal of trying to find Masami a girlfriend." Kohaku sneered, scowling in an unhappy manner at the floor.
Keikai raised an eyebrow, looking over at the youngest Uchiha.
"Is that so?" she asked and the koneko nodded.
"Yeah, though nothing seems to be working." Tenshi sighed, closing is eyes, "I'm starting to think that it's hopeless."
"See?!" Kohaku shouted, leaning forward and looking at Tenshi, "I told you!" Tenshi gave him an annoyed look.
"Zip it, jaa'ku." Tenshi grumbled, "Anyway, none of the dates he has gone on so far seem to fit him. It's getting annoying."
Something flashed in Keikai's eyes for only a second before it was gone, to fast for Tenshi to read.
"Hm, figures. It is Masami you're trying to get a girlfriend for." she said, amusement clear in her voice. She ignored the defiant squawk that came from the blond next to her.
"Well, let's go and try to get this done. The sooner, the better." Kataro muttered, Hibki barking in agreement. He jumped down from the counter, Hibki following and everyone got ready to leave.
"I'll go with you guys, since I have nothing better to do." Keikai told them as they started to leave.
"Alright, that's great!" Shima said happily, giggling. That's when they all noticed Masami wasn't leaving with them.
"Masami, you know you have to come with us for this to work." Koseto said, hands on his hips. Masami ignored him, about to sit down for another bowl of ramen. Keikai sighed before abruptly grabbing Masami by the ear and pulling him out of Ichiraku.
"Come on, dumbass." she growled, pulling him along as he struggled.
"But-but-but I wanted another bowl!" he cried, trying to get out of her hold.
"Ramen is unhealthy, Masami. You shouldn't eat so much." she lectured.
"But ramen is god food!"
"Ramen is unholy, disgusting, and bad for you food."
"OI! DON'T INSULT MY RAMEN!"
Keikai sighed, pulling his ear harder, "Just come on, loser." Masami finally started to follow, growling under his breath.
Was it just Keikai, or did Masami seem reluctant to go?
Operation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasamiKeikai Operation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasamiKeikai
It took another week, another sticking week to finally find a girl that Masami LIKED and went passed two dates with. He was on fourth date with a raven haired beauty named Saru. He seemed to like her a lot. She was a ninja, an ANBU ninja, she was strong, but sweet. Masami was stronger then her, she loved Masami's jokes and sarcasm and adored how he ate. She was seemed perfect for him, and it made the others relax, all of them knowing this task was almost done. Well, that is, all but one.
Kohaku couldn't help that he noticed. He was a Hyuuga, and it was natural for him to read peoples emotions with ease, even if they were hiding them. His blood line trait helped him with that. And thanks to it he was able to see that Keikai was upset.
They were all at the Uchiha estate, just hanging out and talking and eating. Kataro and Koseto had talked Tenshi into cooking again, since his Otousan was on a mission and his Chichiue wouldn't be home till late. Saru was meeting all of them, Masami sitting at her side happily. As everyone sat in the living room talking and laughing, Kohaku noticed that Keikai stood alone, leaning against the back wall, arms folded over her chest, eyes lock on the blond teenager in the room. Kohaku stood when he was sure no one was paying any attention to him and made his way over to the purple haired jounin casually.
When he got to her, he spun gracefully on his heel and leaned back against the wall next to her. She spared him a glance, wondering why he suddenly joined her.
"Keikai-san," he said in a calm, low voice. She glanced at him, noticing how he didn't take his eyes off the group before them.
"Kohaku-kun," she responded, looking away from him.
"I can't help put notice that something is out of place with you," he started, shifting his weight ever so slightly, "Why are you upset, Keikai-san?" She blinked, taken back at what he said. But she recovered quickly, something coming to mind.
"Hng," she snorted, "I should be asking you the same, Kohaku-kun."
A frown marred Kohaku's face at his words, but he didn't once look at her.
"I'm not upset." he countered. She raised her eyebrows, not believing him.
"Maybe 'upset' isn't the correct word." she lowered her head some, watching the Hyuuga in the corner of her eye.
"Well, upset is the correct word for you." he said back, face void of emotion. Her lips tightened, but besides that, she didn't respond. "Keikai-san seems upset when we speak of Masami. When he is with Saru-san. Why is that? Do you not like it? Does it bug you? Are you... jealous?"
She frowned, growling in frustration in her mind. How the kid did it, she didn't know, but he hit just what she was feeling right on the dot and it frustrated her. She was the only one that was suppose to know that, no one else, especially this 12 year old.
She turned her head and looked at him to find him staring at her. His pales eyes were intense, as if searching her. Those pale eyes pierced though her and it sent a chill down her spine. She knew she could hide nothing from those eyes, they saw everything, they knew everything. She felt a ting of sympathy for the person who was to marry the boy, they would have hardly any of their feelings to themselves. Kohaku would know.
"How does that concern you, Hyuuga?" she asked, letting her anger and frustration show in her voice, though her face was calm. "What does it matter what I feel, eh? It doesn't serve you any purpose to know."
Kohaku was about to reply when a familiar voice rang through the air, seeming louder then all the others, when it reality, it was one of the softest.
"Gah, where did I leave that radio remote?" Tenshi said in exasperation, looking around himself quickly. Kohaku looked over at him, eyebrows raised ever so slightly.
"Knowing you, 'Shi-chan, that would be the kitchen. You've been in there the most since we arrived." he said to the angel. Tenshi blinked, looking at the Hyuuga before smiling lightly.
"Hai, perhaps." he said. The koneko moved to go into the kitchen, but Kohaku raised his hand, which made Tenshi stop when he saw it. The remote slowly floated out of the kitchen at to the raven. Tenshi smiled ear to ear when he saw it and gently grabbed it when it was close enough.
"Thank you, Kohaku-chan!" he cooed, rushing over to the older boy and hugging him tightly. The hug wasn't needed or really necessary for what Kohaku did, but the elder boy did not object to it. As a matter of fact he embraced it and a small blush filtered over his cheeks.
"You know me so well!" Tenshi giggled, dark eyes twinkling, "A reason why your my best friend!"
Kohaku smiled lightly, and for some reason felt his heart faintly clench, apart of him wishing there was something more Tenshi would say.
"No problem, Shi-chan." he said gently, his voice a little on the soft side. A cat like grin spread over the koneko's face before he darted back over to the group.
Kohaku watched him go, biting the inside of his cheek. He was wondering why is heart did that, and what the hell did he want Tenshi to really say? What was this longing feeling in his chest?
His musing was cut short when he heard and thoughtful 'hm' next to him. He looked over to Keikai, who was looking at him in a strange way, like she discovered something they shared and it astonished her.
"So that's it..." she muttered. Kohaku raised an eyebrow, silently questioning her. She looked away from him, her gaze now on a whisker face teenage boy. Her eyes turned distant, like she was thinking deeply, or about to say something very personal.
"He was just a friend at first, right? Someone who crawled under your skin somehow and made you open up in ways you wouldn't normally do." she started. Kohaku looked up at her, an confused expression on his face, though it was hard to tell. "And somehow, he got closer, unnoticed at first. And then soon, without you even noticing it, this new feeling was starting to come in. It came up into the back of your mind, soon to work it's way up front." her head lower some and Kohaku's eyebrows did the same, but not much, "You didn't understand it and you still don't. It's confusing and feels complicated. You never really get stuff like that unless someone shoves it down your throat, do you Kohaku-kun?" He blinked, turning his head more her way.
"Wha..." he trailed off, not sure what she was getting at or what to say.
"You don't realize it now, because it's new to you. But your falling fast, moving quickly and have already skinned your knees."
Kohaku glanced down at his knees, seeing perfectly unmarked skin. He mentally rolled his eyes at himself. He knew she didn't mean it literally.
"You're waiting more then you are doing. Waiting for him to do something, for him to make some sort of move, some sign. Again you don't realize, but your waiting for him to put everything together, like he normally does for you or with you. To connect the puzzle pieces that have confused and frustrated you greatly."
Kohaku wasn't sure if she was really talking to him, or more to himself. But he found that all the she said did meet back to him. He found himself relating to it without trying, without thinking about it.
"He treats you nicely, like one of his most important people, but for some reason that's not enough. You want more, need more, crave more." her fist tightened and her voice got softer, lower, "You find a part of you desperately wanting him to say more then he does. There's something more that you wish to come from his perfect lips. You know there is something you want him to say but yet you don't know what, do you Kohaku? You wonder what is it? Why does it bug you? Why is it when he gives someone a adoring or sweet gaze your heart clenches?"
Now Kohaku was sure she wasn't talking to him even though she was addressing him. But still, he could find himself relating, but he wasn't sure how.
"And then you start to feeling something much more. Feel much more." she turned her head to the side some, her eyes still on the blond, "You want to feel him. You need to feel him. You realize that he gives you strength, gives you hope. He can calm down the roughest storms, ease the sharpest pains. He takes you breath away, lodges your heart in your throat, and can make your heart skip a beat or stop with one wink of an eye. Being around him causes a pleasant but yet unpleasant tingling feeling all through out your body."
She shook her head softly and Kohaku's gaze moved to his feet as all that she said sunk in. The wheel in his mind started turning, putting it all together. He was starting to understand what she was saying. He was figuring out why he felt he could relate. It slowly dawned on him what she was sharing, what she was trying to make him see. He knew she was telling him something personal, something she felt, but she was doing more then that. She was trying to make him realize something. Make him see something. She was trying to help him through his struggle, his confusion. For the strange code of emotions and feelings running through him for a long while. She was helping him decipher it. She was helping herself and him at the same time. And when it all came to the Hyuuga his eyes widened and he could swear his heart skipped around in his chest.
"You have this gut feeling, don't you Kohaku?" she asked, her arms holding herself tighter, "You want to protect him more then you would as a team mate or even as a friend. And in your case, more then as a guardian. You come to find that if he was to leave again... if he was to be gone from this world... to die..." she hesitated, closing her eyes for a second, "that your heart would be ripped to sheds... that's you would die along with him. Maybe not physically, but spiritually. You come to realize that he means more then what he should, more then what he did. That he is..." she trailed off, eyes open against and fix back to where they were before.
Kohaku was quiet, his heart still doing the crazy flips as he slowly figured out what he was feeling.
Keikai found that she could say no more. She was at a lose for words, and she wondered, did Kohaku understand? Did he know what she meant? Her thoughts were cut short by a shaky breath from the boy next to her.
"That he is," he started where she left off, his pale, piercing eyes still on the ground. She was surprised no one noticed them, "he is your light. The light into your soul, your inner being." he muttered. He looked up, leaning his head against the wall behind him, still trying to comprehend everything.
"We always wonder why we are here," he started again, "Why we were born? For what purpose do we serve? What is our purpose in life? What are we here for? We always look for that. Some are lucky and find it out soon, some never do. But you find that you've found it, your purpose." he took a breath and Keikai noticed how dazed his usually sharp eyes were, "He's your purpose,"
He's my purpose. My reason to be here.
"He is all you ever want. All you ever need. If everything was to be ripped from you except for him, you would be okay. You could still live with just that."
He is all I need.
"He keeps your heart beating. You would die without him, because he is your everything." he finished, glancing over at the seventeen year old next to him.
Her eyes were closed and she was nodding her head.
"Hai, hai, hai." she chanted softly, a soft glow around her showing she was genuinely happy that he understood.
"Kami-sama, Kohaku-kun." she muttered, golden eyes looked back at the blond, "I've loved him for a few years... But he never seems to see me more then just a friend. Every time I see him I get all warm inside and I blush at the most simplest things that have to do with him... And if I were to ever lose him... I'd think I'd die."
Kohaku nodded, focusing on her problem instead of his own.
"And it pains you to do this... To see Masami-san with another girl. But you'll do anything to see him happy." he said for her.
"Hai. You understand Kohaku. Because you would do the same for someone, just as I am for Masami." she breathed, looking at the pale eyed boy. "I really want to be with him," she muttered, her eyes holding pain and sadness, "I wonder if he notices my feelings for him. And does he see how much he means to me? I would love to join them in all that happiness, but it's hard for me right now. But I'll try just for him." she told the Hyuuga, "I often wonder if we'll ever be together, but I know it's not so." she looked back at the eldest Uchiha heir and Saru, "Because I am not the one for him."
Kohaku stared at her, seeing how upset she was and he shook his head.
"Don't think that way. If that Uchiha had any brains at all, he'll realize how great of a girl you are and how much you care. He would be a fool not too." he told her. She smiled at the young boy, loving how he was trying to make her feel better.
Before she could say anything to him though, Masami called out to her, beckoning her over. She smiled at the blue eyed male and pushed off the wall. Before she started to walk over to him though, she said one more thing to Kohaku.
"I am truly amazed at how much he has changed you in such a short amount of time. One could only changed that much if they cared for that person a lot." she nodded to him, moving forward, "Thank you Hyuuga."
He just nodded back to her, leaning his head back against the wall as he watched her approach Masami, a smile on her face. The smile didn't reach her eyes and he frowned, tuning out the happy talk and laughter coming from the group.
I understand these strange feelings. I can put them under a file, but what to I call the emotion? What does it add up too? What is the sum?
He heard his name being called and looked at who called him, his pale eyes meeting sparkling onyx orbs.
What do I call this feeling I have for Tenshi?
Operation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasamiKeikaiOperation:Get-Masami-A-Girlfriend-TeamMasamiKeikai
Masami sat sulking at Ichiraku. He stirred his noddles idly, not feeling that hungry. Tenshi sat next to him not knowing what to do.
Turned out Saru wasn't as she seemed. It didn't take long for Datenshi to point out to Tenshi that everything the girl did screamed fake. The smiles she showed never reached her eyes and Tenshi noticed how a negative emotion would flicker in her eyes for a second before a positive emotion would replace it. After Riri and Xixi pointed it out, Tenshi finally let his mind slip to Saru's and found out through only on thought that came through her mind at the moment that she was all in it for the name. After informing Masami hesitantly about what he discovered, the blond dumbed the girl, not doubting his little brother for a second.
Now Masami was sulking about it and Tenshi wasn't sure how to comfort him.
"Nii-san, you don't need to sulk over something like this! They say there are many other fish in the sea and I'm sure there are many who aren't like Saru-san!" he said, trying to get his brother to respond positively. He just got a grunt in reply. He sighed, resting his chin on his hand with a huff.
"Aniki, come on and get happy! We can go looking for someone else now! Or maybe wait a little while then go! Ne?" Tenshi asked, being as happy and care-free as he could. Masami sighed, placing his chop sticks on his bowl.
"Otouto, I know you are trying to help but can we please stop this?" the blue eyed man asked, turning to his dark eyed brother. Tenshi blinked.
"Stop this? I thought you liked our help?" Tenshi questioned, a little confused.
"I do, Tenshi-chan, I really do." Masami said truthfully, rubbing the back of his neck, "But I don't want to do this anymore. Truthfully, I never really wanted to in the first place."
Tenshi gasped, suddenly feeling this twist inside him.
"Oh no, nii-san! I didn't force you to do anything, did I?" he asked hurriedly. Masami's eyes widened when he saw his little brother start to get upset at the thought of being inconsiderate of his big brothers feelings.
Masami waved his arms around as his brother started to tear up, really not wanting Tenshi to shed tears. He knew how emotional the boy was, "Ah, no Tenshi! You didn't force me to do anything! I did that with you because I wanted too, I was just very hesitant on the whole dating thing."
Tenshi visibly relaxed, his shoulders slumping some.
"Why were you hesitant?" he asked, cocking his head to the side. Masami sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"I..." he paused, looking back at his brother, "Why did you want to help me anyway?"
Tenshi breathed deeply through his nose, looking away from his brother and rocking back and forth on the stool he was sitting on.
"You just seemed so stressed and tense. You do the same routine every day. I felt that you needed something different. Something to releave some stress. Otousan says being with Chichiue releaves a lot of stress on him and Chichiue both. I thought that if you had someone like that, it would help you." Tenshi explained, looking back into blue eyes, "Plus you are seventeen, going to be eighteen soon. You are becoming an adult and will soon be able to marry. Chichiue always talks about having grandchildren, about babies. He was so excited when you got that first date. I just wanted what would be best for the both of you. What Chichiue wanted and what would help you." Tenshi muttered near the end, casting his eyes down to the ground like a scolded puppy.
Masami shook his head, sighing softly.
"I understand, Tenshi-chan." he said, rubbing the konekos shoulder, "But... have you ever noticed when Chichi does speak of that, when he talks of us marring and having children, have you seen what is behind that smiling, excited face?" he asked his brother. Tenshi stared at him with big eyes, curious and confused.
"His eyes... they are sad." Masami said in a soft tone. Tenshi's dark eyes widened. "Chichi truly doesn't want his babies to grow up. He is afraid that once we have kids and are married, that he wont be that important anymore. That we wont bust into his office randomly and mess with him. That we wont hug him at random times or want to cuddle up next to him." Masami tried to explain. "You see, shrimp, I'm the oldest, I should be the first to go, to get married and make a family of my own. But once I do that, it will start it all off, the leaving and growing up of his children." Tenshi nodded, understanding.
"Chichi likes to hold on to stuff. He doesn't want to let us go. We are his babies, his kits... I've seen his face when Hikari goes on dates. It's a soft, pained expression. He doesn't want his little girl to leave him just yet. Chichi grew up with no family and if he could, he would halt time and leave it as it is now or a few years ago and keep it that way forever. Hai, he wants grandchildren but he wants to keep his kits young." Masami closed his eyes, "I want to see Chichi happy. I don't want to see that look on his face nor on 'Tousans. I don't want to pain him. And if I have to, I'll be their little boy forever."
Tenshi blinked at his brother, his mind racing slightly. They were quiet before suddenly Tenshi started laughing, a cat like grin spread over his face.
"Silly, silly nii-san!" he cooed, making Masami's brow furrow and get a confused look on his face.
"How am I silly?" he asked, feeling a ting of annoyance.
"You don't have to be their little boy forever. You're their bog boy! You have never been their little boy, you dork." Tenshi told him, putting his small hands on his hips. Masami blinked.
"...Nani?"
"You need to grow up, aniki!" Tenshi scolded, pushing his older brothers shoulder lightly, "You need to give Chichi those dang grandchildren he wants. You have always been the big boy of the family, the big kid. I'm the youngest you dork! I'm the little boy." Masami raised an golden eyebrow and Tenshi giggled.
"Leave all the little kit stuff to me. No matter what happens, I'll always be the youngest and the little whatever you wanna call me. You're seventeen, 'Sami-nii, Chichi and 'Tousan wanna see you grow up. They wanna see you become an amazing man, and amazing shinobi. They want to see the out come of all their hard work. Plus, Chichi needs someone to take over his spot as Hokage someday. I don't think he is going to give it to some kid."
Masami blinked, surprised at his otouto.
"I'm 12 years old and I still cuddle up to both of them and crawl into their laps a lot. Heck, I still fall to sleep against 'Tousans chest when we watch stars at night. You're personality is different than mine, and knowing me, I'll always be a kid in a way. I swear I'll be 35 or something and I'll still try to crawl into their laps!" Tenshi laughed, his perfect white teeth showing.
"Aniki, we both know Chichi would yell at you if you told him what you just told me. He would order you to get your butt out there and grow up. Make a family and transform from a boy into a man. But try not too be too much like 'Tousan."
There was a pause in which Tenshi smiled ear to ear at his brother and Masami stared at him all but shocked. Then suddenly, Masami smiled, tussling his little brothers hair.
"This is a reason I love you so much." he said lovingly, "Alright, tike. You win. I give." he chuckled. Tenshi nodded happily, grabbing his brothers hand that was on his head.
"So you'll date and all that stuff?" Tenshi asked. Masami nodded, chuckling at the same time.
"Hai, hai, I will." he reassured the angel, "Just find me someone who will date me for me, not my clan name, money, skill, or looks alone." He rose up from his seat, nodding to the younger Uchiha. "I'm going to go." he muttered before leaving.
Tenshi watched him go then he looked over to the others that were hanging outside of Ichiraku. He's eyes caught Kohaku's and the boy motioned at Keikai. He looked at the purple haired girl and smiled to himself.
Maybe things wouldn't be too bad.

On top of his Chichi's head was his favorite place to be. It over looked the whole village and was a great place for him to just sit and think. He found it funny how he was so comfortable and relaxed when just sitting on his Chichiue's monument.
She knew where he would be, she knew him that well. All it took was a small gesture from Kohaku and Tenshi's warm, reassuring smile to make her take off after the blond. She was amazed on how both boys just knew. It was like one of them could see through you and the other could read your mind like a book.
She spotted his blond hair first and smiled to herself. She had been right, he was at favorite spot.
Masami wasn't completely out of it, he could feel her chakra signature and he felt a bubbling excitement rumble in his gut and chest as she neared. Every time she was around him he got the same feeling. He didn't quiet understand why he got it, he just did and he accepted it. He's body got warm when she was near and he always felt happy, at peace no matter what. He got along better with her then anyone else besides family members of his.
"Oi, dumbass. I knew I would find you here." was the first thing she said and he smiled to himself, used to the greeting she used.
"Nice to see you too, my prickly cactus." he said back sarcastically and he could feel her rolled her eyes.
She sat next to him, staring out into the village as he was.
"You up for a conversation?" she asked, looking at him. He shrugged, his eyes roaming over the busy village below him.
"Sure." was his simple answer. Keikai knew that was the best she would get and she took it.
"So," she started, leaning her head his way, "what had brought the great Masami up to such heights?"
His body jerked like he laughed, but held it in.
"Females." he muttered. Keikai nodded, her expression thoughtful and agreeing.
"Hai, we are difficult and headache inducing things." she replied. He shook his head, licking his lips.
"I don't know about this, Kei-chan." he sighed, closing his stunning blue eyes, "How will I know if the girl really likes me for me and not for just my clan name, money, or stunning good looks?"
Keikai laughed inwardly at how his voice took a very arrogant tone when he said 'stunning good looks'.
"I'm not quiet sure. I think it would be best if you dated someone you have known for a while. A friend. You would have better luck that way." she said, leaning back on her hands.
"You think?"
"Yeah."
Masami was quiet for a minute, thinking. His eyes roamed back over the village again, but when it hit the Uchiha district, they stayed there.
"...It's hard, being an Uchiha." he said, "Hard to trust people. Hard to trust that someone actually likes you for you. You really have to know how to read people. But I'm not to good at that. I can read my family members pretty well and very open people. But when it comes to people in general... I can't, not like Atsuko and Tenshi can. Me and Hikari both have a hard time with it."
Keikai stared down at her legs stretched out before her, listening and thinking about what to say to her blond friend.
"I'm not sure how to help you there. But I guess you just have to follow your gut and heart feeling." she told him.
"My gut is telling me to listen to my heart." Masami muttered, "My heart is telling me that someone is near, I don't know who, but that person is someone I am looking for."
Keikai cocked an eyebrow and smirked.
"Is it Raidou?" she asked. Masami sputtered, looking at her, a blush on his cheek.
"Gah! No! I'm not freaking gay! Why does everyone think I can or am gay just because my parents are?!" he yelled and she just laughed, golden eyes twinkling with amusement and playfulness. Masami shook his head lightly, not helping but to smile at the look in her eyes.
After a few minute's Keikai calmed down as Masami shook his head in amusement at her, his blond locks moving with each movement of his head.
They sat, relaxed and comfortable next to each other, watching the busy village below.
"You know," Masami said in a positive confident tone, "I'll lead all of this one day," he motioned out toward the village, "I'll be just like Chichiue. I'll become the next Hokage. And I'll grow up just for him, so he can retire and give me the position. So I can make him proud." he pushed out his chest, trying to sound all great and mighty.
"You do know, Mr. Future Hokage, that you can't do that alone, right?" she said. He looked at her, confused.
"Nani?"
"Naruto-sama hasn't been leading this village alone. He has had someone by his side 100 percent of the time, always there to help him in his time of need. Always there for advice to give and to love him unconditionally."
Masami knew she was referring to Sasuke and he knew what she was getting at.
"I know," he replied, "That's why I need to find someone... I need to find someone that will or does love me as much as 'Tousan loves Chichi. Who will be there for me. But as I said before, that will be hard, seeing as I have a huge fan club just for my looks and clan name."
"Well," Keikai said shyly, scooting closer to the Uchiha, "It doesn't have to be that hard. I know someone who cares for you as much as Sasuke-san cares for Naruto-sama."
Masami looked over at her, his face showing interest.
"Really?" he asked, blinking. Keikai nodded shyly, lowering her head some, looking at him with nervous but yet confident eyes, a blush on her cheeks.
"And she wonders if Mr. Future Stud Muffin Hokage-sama likes her back?" she asked, fidgeting.
Masami blinked in surprise, slowly putting the pieces together. His heart was beating hard and fast in his chest and his excitement came back ten fold. Suddenly, he smirk, leaning toward her.
"I don't quiet understand what I am feeling right now. I've never truly liked someone besides that Saru girl, but that was mere fascination." he said, his voice low., "But when you said that, I got really excited, really happy. My hearts racing and I feel like jumping for joy." his voice was husky, and moved closer making her blush, "I've known that I have feelings for you, but I wasn't sure if it was just strong friend like feelings."
"Does it feel that way now?" Keikai asked softly, feeling worry and dismay in her chest.
Masami chuckled, shaking his head.
"No, it doesn't." he smiled at her, blue eyes sparkling, "I know it's something more..."
Keikai's heart skipped a beat as he reached up and stroked her cheek. "Hai, Mr. Future Stud Muffin Hokage-sama does like Keikai back."
There was a pause and then Keikai flung herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck. He made a noise of surprise, feeling her warm body pressed against his. He smiled, the perverted voice in his head making a crude comment about how her breast felt on his chest, but he just ignored it.
"This isn't one of those stupid jokes of yours, is it?" she asked softly. Masami snorted and realized that it didn't sound that attractive and scolded himself mentally for it.
"Of course it's not. Why would I joke on something like this?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her. She sighed happily, loving the feeling of his strong, big arms holding her.
"So," she pulled back, looking at his tanned face, "What...? Are we...?" she left it open for him to finish. She stared into his eyes, searching.
A foxy grin spread across his face and he winked at her, taking her breath away.
"Yeah, we are."

"You're are going to what?!" Shima shrieked, staring at the youngest Uchiha in disbelief.
"I said, I'm going to stop the operation." he said slowly, trying to get it through her head.
"But why?! It was so much fun!" she yelled. He sighed, rubbing his temples.
"Masami-nii should do this on his own. We got him started, got him rolling, now we leave it up to him." he said calmly, silently pleading Shima to stop bugging him about it.
Shima noticed this and pouted. "You can be such a party-pooper." she grumbled.
"Can not." he countered, stuffing his hands into his pockets, "Oi, 'Tousan. You think you have enough ramen?" he asked.
Sasuke sighed, shaking his head.
"No. Not for your Chichiue." he replied, holding four bags full with two cases of ramen each. Tenshi giggled, looking away from his father. His eyes landed on Kohaku's without much thought and his laughter slowly slipped away when he saw the look in the other boys eyes.
He was staring at the koneko intently. His gaze raw and so intense it made Tenshi shiver. He had been given a look similar to that from Kohaku before, but not one so strong and powerful. He was about to say something when he heard his named being called out loudly and a weight ten times heavier then his own hit his back.
"Otouto!" Masami yelled happily in Tenshi's ear, wrapping his arms around the small boy.
"Gah! Nii-san! What are you doing?" Tenshi yelped as Masami hugged him so hard he lifted him into the air.
"Oh, I love you so much Tenshi-chaaaan!" he cooed, swing the boy back and forth.
"Aniki!" Tenshi complained, trying to get out of his hold.
"You are the best!" Masami cried, burring his head into black locks.
"Why?" Tenshi asked, cutting his eyes back to look at his brother.
"I got me a girlfriend, Tens! And one I really like!" Masami said in a giddy manner. Tenshi blinked in surprise.
"Really?"
"Yeah! And she said you somehow knew she liked me and you encouraged her with one of those amazing smiles of yours!"
Tenshi turned his head and looked at the golden eyed girl not to far away. She smiled happily at him and he smiled back, feeling a spread of warmth inside his chest.
"And!" Masami bellowed, suddenly letting the angel go, "She said Kohaku helped her too!" he turned quickly, about to dive at the Hyuuga when he saw the warning glare coming his way from said Hyuuga. He froze, staring at Kohaku for a minute before whirling back around and swooping up Tenshi.
Masami hugged him tightly and groped at the younger male, truly loving his otouto to death at the moment. Tenshi noticed that, to others, it would look like Masami was trying groping at him and almost molesting him. He blushed lightly and pushed at Masami's chest.
"Nii-san! Let go!" he complained, trying to get away.
"No!" Masami fussed, hugging him tighter.
"Masami! Let me go now!" he whined, but Masami did not. Tenshi looked over at his father who was staring at him in disinterest, "Otousan, make him stop!" Sasuke raised an eyebrow before rolling his eyes.
"Masami! What have I told you about molesting your brother in public?" he snapped, then lowered his voice, "Do it where no one can see you."
Masami smirked, continuing what he was doing while Tenshi gapped.
"Daaaaaad!" he yelled, trying to push Masami way, but Sasuke just walked away, waving his hand in the air.
Tenshi scowled at his fathers back then at his older brother.
"You know, Masami-nii, I have nothing against guy-on-guy relationships, but incest..." Tenshi said, smiling to himself. Masami let him go like he had been burned and scowled at Tenshi.
"Eww! Tens, I am not gay or bi. And incest? EWWW!" he cried out, shaking his head quickly. He raised an eyebrow at Tenshi when he was done, "I don't have such a wide range of choices when it comes to relationships like you do."
Inka blinked after hearing that, looking at the two Uchiha boys.
"Wait, do you mean that Tenshi..." he pointed at the youngest boy.
"Is bisexual?" Tenshi finished, nodding, "Yeah."
"You're bi?!" both Shima and Kataro yelled.
"I knew it." Koseto muttered, smirking to himself.
"Yeah," Tenshi said with a smile, "I like boys, but girls are hot too."
Kohaku's eyes widened as he took in all that he heard.
Shi-chan is bi? He likes boys?
His heart did crazy flips and he felt his cheeks growing red. Excitement and joy was spreading through his chest and he almost felt like that was the best news he had ever heard in his life.
Why am I feeling this way? He wondered. Then it suddenly came together and he gasped at his own conclusion.
Kami-sama, he thought in amazement,
I'm in love with Tenshi-chan...

It leads him to wandering around in part of the Uchiha estate Sasuke forbid Tenshi and his siblings to go into. That soon leads him to a temple that holds the secret of the Uchiha clan. While he is there he can't help but feel a strange pulling at his mind and body. What more does that temple hold besides the secrets of the Uchiha clan?
