Now that's over with!

Let us begin shall we?

"So you destroyed the building..But didn't get much information. Am I hearing that right?" Tsunade spoke sitting at her desk in a nearby office at the hideout. Ino, Yagura, and Kimiko bowed their heads. She was sipping a small bottle of wine eyeballing them.

"Yes Lady Tsunade. We did as you ordered but I was only to obtain the true goal of that facility."

"Which was?"

"They were using the blood of the Jinchuuriki to make some super powered toushi to raise an army and destroy this world and reshape it in his own image."

"Well you did get something vital. That in itself a vital piece of information. You've done a good job. I will ask how you were able to manage such a feat."

"Milady I can answer that." Yagura interrupted.

"Okay Yagura tell me. How did it go?"

"It awesome! I was like POW and then I was like I'll save you and Houtou pushed the bomb button and I saved her and we fused and kicked ass!"

"Hold it right there...You two awoke your Konjin?"

"Yeah! She was strong too."

"Yagura that was rather reckless. Did you consider all options before releasing her?"

"Of course. A ninja always considers all options before doing something bold." Tsunade grinned at his enthusiasm.

"Good to hear then. Well your injuries aren't that severe but I want you two to get looked at. For now get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day! Good job you three. Ino I'd like to speak with you in private if you don't mind." She motioned Ino over.

"Yes Milady." She went to her side and they started to talk amongst themselves. Kimiko and the others went out from the building and started their way home. By this time night had already set in. Before they got to her house Kimiko turned to ask Houtou something.

"Um Houtou?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I talk to you for a second please?"

"Sure...Yagura wait in the living room. This is girl time." He nodded when they went into he house with Yagura plopping himself into the couch. They walked into her room, Houtou sitting on the bed and Kimiko pulling up her chair. "So what is it Kimiko?"

"Um...I want to ask you something...about Yagura?"

"You want to know what's going on right?"

"well..uh...if you don't wanna talk about it I'll-"

"You have every right to know. You're family to me and family members never keep secrets."

"What exactly is Yagura...That monster...It was so horrible...I've never seen anything like it. What wrong with Yagura?"

"Are you sure you wanna know?"

"Please...I want to be able to support him. If I can do anything for him please let me know...If I can't do things of I don't understand him at all."

"Okay....You ever heard if the Fallen one legend?"

"No I haven't. Does it have anything to do with him?"

"Not just him. There are eight other people just like him. Other people even stronger and more stronger then he is. You see a long time ago nine warrior merged with a crystal with super powers far beyond any stretch of the imagination. They fought to protect this world from any and everything that would threaten this world. Their power was even greater than even our strongest toushi. One day a strange demon with many tails attempted to annihilate the entire world and wipe out all life. The chosen nine they are called used every last bit of their power to seal in the monster away never to return again. The warriors died but the souls were implanted into nine regular toushi of whom were destined to become their hosts. These people are called Jinchuuriki. The power of human sacrifice. Yagura is the host for three tailed turtle out of nine different warrior spirits. Each of these spirits represented by beasts with a certain number of tails. The powerful being the nine tailed fox, The leader of a small group made up of other Jinchuuriki like The one, two, four and five tails. We however are going to recruit them into the white lotus to further lady Tsunade's goals to make sure the fallen one never comes back from it's slumber."

"Wow...Oh my that's too much....Oh poor Yagura...He carries a heavy burden...I'm so sorry I never really understood his situation at all. To think he was involved in something like this."

"This is nothing....The guy who hold the nine tails is in the center of all of this. His awakening has had him and the others targeted not just by the Black dragon group. They are being hunted by the terrorist organization called the Akatsuki. They almost had Yagura had I and Naruto not been there. That's when we I realized that I was his guardian. Each Jinchuuriki has a guardian destined to release the warrior spirits true form. If the Jinchuuriki released the seal by himself he only let the demon out. That was what you saw with Yagura. He though has full control over it."

"Oh Houtou you've been through so much with him. It's a wonder he is still the same Yagura." Kimiko held her hand to her heart. Clearly she felt that she wanted to help him as best as she can. Houtou put her hand on Kimiko's shoulders reassuring her that everything was going to be okay. "Relax Kimiko, You are dong a lot by just being with him. He's also got me and I love him very much. I will always protect him from any and everything that would ever hurt him. That's the of a big sister after all." She smiled at her, Kimiko returning her feelings. Houtou got up from the bed walking to where Yagura was fast asleep in the couch. He was sleep talking with subtle hints of Houtou's name coming out with some embarrassing situations following afterward. They only giggled watching him talk in his own little world.

"I better get him home Kimiko."

"Yeah..After today he is going to need some rest."

"I'll come by tomorrow if I can. I have a lot of school work to catch up on."

"Okay Kimiko. See ya later."

"Bye Houtou." Kimiko had already rubbed Yagura's head causing him to wake up. "Hey sis *yawn* Are we leaving now?"

"Yeah...Say goodbye to your girlfriend Yagura." She giggled. His blush creeping along his pale face. "sis....Damn it your doing it again." She stuck her tongue out. "I love you Yagura! I'm just showing you some tough love!"

"..Do you not her saying that Yagura?" Kimiko mumbled.

"It's not that I mean I don't even know what we-" A pop kiss surprised him. His face now going redder than a potato. "Kimiko...."

"Does that answer your question?" She smiled.

"...I..guess..it did." He couldn't help but play with his fingers. Houtou giggled like a school girl. "Aww...Alright you two love birds we need to be getting home now. g'night Kimiko." Houtou took Yagura by the hand and they walked out of her house. "G'night Yagura...Night Houtou. See you soon." They waved at her making their way back to the the house. When they got home Yagura had already headed up stairs and took off his cloth getting into the bath. He had soaked his body into the warm water sighing in relaxation. "ahhh That feels great..Man What a day. I wonder what big brother is doing? Bet he wondering if we got the six tails...wait till I tell him what we found out...wait...Tsunade told me I wasn't supposed to tell him about her... I probably shouldn't tell him about the white lotus either...But that would just tell us that we didn't get the six tails...Oh man...I should at least tell him about Ukataka and Kakouen being partners and stuff. This is just too much..ARGH!"

"I'm coming in Yagura!"

"HUH WAIT I'M STILL IN HERE! WAIT YOUR TURN SIS!"

"Please I've seen you naked before. I'm only going to wash your back." She came in with a towel covering her body. Yagura looked over and blushed hard noticing her breasts poking through the towel. "Okay Yagura I'm coming in, scooch over."

"Sis hold on a second I just got in."

"Move over Yagura!" She took off her towel, Yagura closed his eyes in reflex. "Sis...I can bath myself thank you very much."

"It's my kind gesture and I know you can't for a fact." She got in the tub. "Open your eyes Yagura. I'm your sister, You've seen me naked too you know. Relax you worry wort."

"Fine!" He opened his eyes and saw Houtou grabbed shampoo and rubbing it on her hands. "I'll start doing you hair first okay?"

"okay big sis!" She ran her on his long locks. She was rubbing every inch of his head. The moment slowly causing her to gulp the lump in her throat. "Hey Yagura...Does it good for you?"

"Yeah it actually does. Wow sis your pretty good at this."

"It's cause I know how you like it little brother!"

"Thanks sis. I appreciate you doing this for me."

"Of course....you'd do the same for me right?" He fell a bit silent from that last comment. "Right Yagura."

"Huh?...Oh sorry...I spaced out for a second there. I think you hypnotized me with your hands big sis."

"Did I now? Are you thinking about something you shouldn't be thinking about Yagura!"

"WHAT! EWW THAT'S GROSS! I'm not a pervert. Jeez!"

"Just teasing you Yagura...okay I'm gonna do your arms. Raise them." He obeyed her lifting up his arms and allowing her to wash his arms and hands. Houtou was smiling inside knowing she was able to do this for him. She ran her finger across his built arms and would hold his hand every now and then. "Is that good too Yagura?"

"Yeah sis...Wow your a pro!"

"I know...you told me." She stopped and wrapped her arms around his chest from behind. " Relax Yagura. Put your head here." She patted her upper chest just above her breasts. He put hte back of his head there looking at the ceiling.

"Hey sis...When was the last time we were like this."

"You were a little boy with I bathed with you last time. Before miss Guren left you in mom and dad's care."

"It's been such a long time hasn't it? I kind of miss mama Guren. She was so nice to me. She always was caring to all of the orphans when I was there. Never a dull moment with her. It hurt her a lot when I was adopted. But she was happy that I was able to find a family and live a normal life."

"But you know what. I was happy to have met you Yagura. I didn't want to be an only child...But mom and dad weren't able to conceive another child since my father had that sickness. That was when we found you in that orphanage playing with a bunch of other kids. I told them about the kid I saw, Almost like it was a sign that we were meant to be together. From that day on I never let you out of my sight. From the time you got bullied in elementary school to when you were trained a toushi. We were inseparable."

"Yeah now that think about it we were always close huh sis?"

"You betcha." She pulled him a bit closer as he closed his eyes. "This sure is relaxing." he yawned. "Hey don't fall asleep you'll catch a cold."

"I can't help it. This is just too comfortable."

"Okay Yagura...I'm going to wash your back now. let's get out before we roast." They got up together, Houtou pulling a stool for Yagura to sit on. She grabbed a wet towel rinsing off excess water from it. She began to scrub his back from top to bottom. She was slowly feeling every inch of his body. "Almost done Yagura."

"Man that feels awesome big sis."

"Glad you like it." She put the towel her body and tossed him one too. "Okay Yagura.. Let's get ready for bed."

"Right.. I'm so tired." He got up wrapping the towel around his waist. They walked in each other their rooms and were getting dressed ready for bed. "Hey Yagura have you seen my bra?"

"No I haven't!"

"I think I may have left it in your room. Please check for me!"

"Check here yourself." He put on the last article of his pajamas when Houtou came in with no bra in. He turned around catching a glimpse of her half naked body. "GAH!" He turned around closing. "Damn it at least warn me when you come in."

"Well I wouldn't have to come in if I had my bra Yagura. Besides it's nothing you haven't seen before."

"Just check and hurry up. I wanna sleep." She started to check around the area when she found it under his bed. "Ah here it is. I better wash it. I don't wanna sleep with no bra on." She left his room and put her bra in the washing machine. When it finished she put it on making her way to Yagura's room. She saw that he was already asleep. She giggled at his sleeping face. His mouth open and sheet covering some of his body, He was knocked out cold. She sat on his bed rubbing his hair slowly thinking to herself. A little blush accompanied her smile as she caressed his head.

"You have been through a lot these past few weeks Yagura. You've grown up so much since I first met you. To think your a young little boy who would always want to prove that he could anything whether you put your mind to it or not. For that I can see the man inside you, I promise that I'll always protect you and be there whenever you need me. All you ever need to do is call my name. I'll come running in to be there." Her hand rubbing his cheek softly. "Your so cute when you sleep....I hope you have sweet dream tonight Yagura." Suddenly small words escaped Yagura's lips. She heard him utter small words.

"big...sis...I love you!" He uttered. "Your the best sister...ever." He yawned again and slipped back into his slumber. She blushed taking both of his cheeks into her hands. She inched closer to his face planting a kiss on his forehead. Her eyes were focused on his lips the whole time though. Without even thinking she touched his lips with her. In the shadows she is seen coming into his bed falling asleep with him, her words replying to Yagura's.

"I love you too Yagura... I love you so much!"

Next day.

Yagura woke up rubbing the sleepiness from his eyes. He had smelled the cooking from below to his kitchen. He ran down stairs to see Houtou making breakfast for the two of them. He ran up jumping up and down next to Houtou. "Hey big sis what'cha cookin'?"

"Making some omelette for breakfast." She kissed his forehead, He in turned rubbed it sitting at the table. "Hurry up I'm starving here!"

"In a minute Yagura almost done...Here we are!" He got a plate, slapped in on walking to the table. "Breakfast is served Yagura. Eat up now we are going out today."

"Where are we going?"

"To the amusement park. I called Kimiko and she's on her way here."

"You invited her?"

"Duh she's your girlfriend."

"I guess she sorta is."

"Yagura she is. She really likes you for your info."

"Yeah...But my feelings are kind of mixed you know."

"How so!"

"Well I've never had a girlfriend you know."

"Oh jeez...You know what this could be a good start. I'll be there to guide you the whole day."

"Really!" He ate up the last bite as she put her omelette on the table. Yagura had gotten up putting his dish on the sink! "That'd be awesome. It's gonna be my first date!" Suddenly started to remember the events of last night. she found herself wanting to ask about how Yagura really felt about Kimiko, Or her for that matter. "Hey Yagura...Now that you mention it. How do you really feel about her?" She continued to finish her breakfast until eating the last bite.

"I don't know...She's the first girl who ever kissed me."

"That's not true." She uttered. Yagura looked back tilting his head. "What was that?"

"Oh...I said that's just like you!"

"Oh...Yeah it kind of is...But in all respect though she is cute. I think I might grew to like her." He said washing his dish. Suddenly he felt Houtou's arms wrap around his neck. "Is that all you fell about her Yagura?"

"Yeah I do...Sort of."

"Sort of? Man your kind of indecisive aren't you?"

"No I'm not!"

"I'm joking Yagura! Calm down." She tightened her grip, Yagura looking at her suddenly serious face. "Yagura...How do you feel about...me?"

"What...What are you saying?"

"You know...are you happy with me?"

"Well yeah my feelings for you won't change...You know I'll always want you to be my older sister. No one will ever replace you." Her mouth moved out of instinct once again. "That's not what I meant!"

"What you'd say?" She snapped out from her daydream and smiled at Yagura. "Oh nothing..I was just daydreaming." She patted his head after going upstairs. "I'm gonna get ready now. You should too Yagura."

"I will! I'll be up soon." She ran upstairs and closed her door. She locked her door and slunk down to the floor realizing the words she had uttered out of nowhere. She began to think back to her younger days when Yagura was still a child.

Flashback

It was a cold day when Houtou, an 11 year old girl ran to a school full elementary kids. She started to look for someone when an adult came to her side. "Excuse me are you looking for someone miss?"

"Yeah have you seen my little brother?"

"Who's your brother?"

"His name is Yagura Shigen."

"Ah...young Shigen is over there." He pointed at the park where she could see Yagura talking to some other kids. They were little boys his age. When she got there one of the boy had pushed Yagura to the ground. She gasped having seen Yagura scrape his knee.

"C'mon kid get up. You said you were gonna beat us up. What's matter you gonna cry." They could see Yagura on the verge of tears. "I'm not afraid of you! I'll prove to you I'm a big kid." He got up rubbing the tears from his eyes. He ran at the only to be pushed down again. They ganged up on his hitting his face and body with their fists. Houtou had pulled the boys away from Yagura and shielded him from the bullies. "You little punks better stop. Don't you dare touch him or I'll send you crying to your mommies."

"Oh look it's a girl helping him. What a wuss!"

"Yeah your such a chicken Yagura. Your big sister is helping you, What a total loser."

"Shut the hell up right now or else!"

"Or else what. We're not afraid of you. I hit girls for fun!" She got up standing up towering them by half their height. "You were saying!" She put his fists up scaring the little boys. "Let's go guys! She's scary." They ran as fast as they could leaving Yagura and Houtou alone. She turned around seeing Yagura crying in his hands. She hugged him tight comforting him as best as she could.

"Shh...It's okay...I'm here...Your safe now...It's over!"

"..*sniff* Big sis..*sniff*...WAAAAAH!" He hugged her as tight as he could crying into her chest. "Shh...It's okay now...Big sis is here...SShh...Hush now little brother...You're big sis is here!" She picked him up resting his head on his shoulders. When they got to the house she mended his wound. After a while he fell asleep, Houtou still comforting him. Houtou's mother came in seeing her with him.

"Oh my god what happened?"

"Some bullies at school were picking on Yagura...I was there before they were about to beat him to a pulp."

"Oh my goodness. I'm calling that school right away. Those kids never leave him alone. This is ridiculous. Thank you for saving him Houtou. Your such a good sister."

"I'm just doing my job mom."

"No dear. Yagura is a lucky boy to be able to have someone like you. Your treat him so well. No wonder he really loves you."

"Awww it's nothing mom! Really it isn't" She rubbed the back of her head. "Well take good care of him now. I'm gonna call that school and get this thing straightened out right now." She walked out of the room. Yagura had woken up at that time grabbing Houtou's hand. "Big sis! Your here! They were picking on me again. I tried to stand up to them like you told me to but they were too much..I was so scared big sis.... I was so scared." He hugged her tight not wanting to let go. "It's okay now. Your big sis is here now okay? Moms is gonna make sure they never pick on you again."

"Thank you for saving me sis. I really like you!"

"Aww Your sweet...I like you too." Sudden a small yelp of pain left Yagura's lips. "Oww!" She looked at him wondering about what was wrong. "What is it Yagura?"

"My lip hurts." She examined it and seeing that his bottom lip was swollen a bit. "Aww There there...It's not that bad."

"It still hurts big sis...can't you make it go away?"

"Want me to kiss it and make it better?" He smiled and nodded his head. "Uh huh!" He puckered up, Houtou closed her eyes and kissed his bottom lips. The kiss lasted for a while before she broke contact, A line linking to two together. She smiled once again her him. "Is that better?"

"Uh huh. It's doesn't hurt as much anymore. Thank you sis your the best ever." He grinned. She caressed his cheek returning his happiness back. "But next time you have to be stronger just in case they come back. Why don't I show you some things you can use to show those bullies what for."

"Really? would you teach me?"

"Of course. It's for your own good after all." He jumped up and down. "YAY Big sis is gonna teach me some neat tricks." She put him back down on the bed. "Easy killer! you still need to get better."

"Aww man! I can't wait that long!" She could only giggle at his enthusiasm.

End Flash back.

Houtou touched her lips remembering the day she shared her first kiss with him. She started to blush a bit knowing full well that she had those kinds of thoughts. She thought to herself about the night she had said those words. "..What am I doing..He's my brother. I can't have those kinds of feelings. He doesn't even feel the same about me. Why?....Why am I acting like this? He's my family...Look at me I'm betraying him and Kimiko. I can't ever think of him like that..Never.....Never." She started to picture Yagura's lips and how soft they felt touching hers. She blushed again shaking her head. "No this is so wrong. I can't lust after him. I'm not supposed to have any sexual attraction to him at all. We're siblings or crying out loud. It's not natural....Even if he isn't related to me.....That's right..He's not related to me....That means. NO NO NO NO NOO! I can't want him that way. He's dating Kimiko! I can't betray them like that! I won't give in to this. I absolutely won't..." She found herself wondering about the times she would catch a glimpse of his naked body every now and then. She also remembered the times when she would walk around in the nude even when he was around. For her it was just natural, But this time she had realized that she wanted to let him see more and more every time she could.

"....I can't believe it...Am I....wanting Yagura that way?...Oh my god....I'm lusting after my own family. I'm so disgusting...forgive me Yagura...Your sister is seeing you with perverted eyes!" She held her head in her hands and broke down. Yagura knocked from the outside wondering about her, "Hey big sis you ready yet? Kimiko's here already!" She dried her eyes and replied back to him. "Almost done ...Give me a minute!"

"Okay but you better hurry up before they stop selling tickets there!" She finally got dressed, Joining the two down to the door. "Okay let's you guys!' She went for Yagura's right hand, Kimiko grabbing his left hand holding it tight! "You it almost This could be a Kodak moment Houtou!"

"Yeah it could be..You know that Yagura let's go get a camera! We can take pictures later."

"Okay! Let's get there quick then. They stop selling those park ticket at 11:00 sharp."

"Right. We should get going!" Kimiko dragged Yagura and Houtou toward the park. The scene played out nicely for Houtou as she was able to spend time with him. Thoughts drifted intoer mind once again. She was certain about her feelings now but would never let him know about it.

Yagura! I'm happy with you around me. I won't let you go now. We'll be together forever. Cause I'm not just your guardian or your sister!

Because I'm in love with you..

My sweet little brother!

Uhhh Little brother complex much? Well it seems that Houtou and Kimiko are secretly competing for Yagura's heart. And with that This chapter is come to a close. Alright guys starts sending in you questions. Next chapter is going to be the Q & A with our special guest Sasuke reading them off
