Hi again, I hope I'm not going to make everybody totally OOC, but if I do please tell me, thanks, and well…the two of Mizu's apprentices will eventually end up differently, characterization and appearance. Oh, and the gold wings on the sword are like the ones on the Millennium Rod (YGO).

It was not a good morning. Not by any standards. The currently blond haired woman almost smashed her alarm clock as it began to ring, and afterwards she stomped into the bathroom, took a shower, and brushed her teeth and hair.
Mizu came out with a black top, black jeans, a black on the outside, and blue on the inside trench coat was pulled over the attire. Trudging down the stairs was her next activity, if any one other than spirits or demons were in the house; they wouldn't even dare cross her path. Sadly one little djinni did not know a hanyou's temper.
"Hello dear mistress, lovely day isn't it?" asked the djinni with an obviously fake merriment. He was in a teenager's form, but with black wings, wearing black pants, and a blue shirt.
"Shut up or I'll blow you into pieces," growled out the boiling hanyou.
"Sounds like you haven't had much of a good sleep then, have you?" said the djinni in the same manner.
"You asked for it, Jakuhaji!" slowly silvery water started to appear; it surrounded Bartimaeus and slowly flattened the body he was in, "Thought so, not even half as resistant to my magic as that idiotic dragon. Guess you haven't seen different magic before," an evil little smirk had decided to plaster itself on to Mizu's face once again, "Little one, I know what you look like, nothing hides from two souls," this time a somber look passed over her face.
"What do you mean, 'Two souls'?" asked the 'demon.'
"Mizu-san will not tell, so this one will not tell," the woman's pupils turned into slits, reddened, and her voice seemed to become much more dangerous, a minute later Mizu was back to normal.
"Fine I'll just find Karaues," said Bartimaeus about to find his 'friend.'
"Now you can't just go running off like that! Since you are here of your own free will…I'll just battle with you, to the training center!" Mizu grabbed the demon by the collar, and dragged him up the stairs.
The two beings walked past paintings, and a jeweled sword; it was hanging on the wall. Black diamonds ran up and down its hilt, an indent in the shape of a teardrop was on the broad part of the blade. Awkward golden wings seemed to be jutting out from the guard. Mizu picked it up without missing a step.
"Pick one up and we shall begin." Mizu was now pointing the dangerously glimmering sword at Bartimaeus.
"Fine, fine," Bartimaeus, picked up the jade blade.
They stood, glaring at each other. Bartimaeus raised his blade and prepared to strike. The loud metal 'clang' of the two blades could be heard throughout the house.
"It's all ways the idiot, the weakling that strikes first," the smirk was on her face again, and her pupils became slits.
Mizu's blade was shining with a malevolent light, promising pain to the opponent. The two gold wings glimmered and sharpened at the edges.
"When I'm fighting, the policy is 'Show no Mercy," Mizu's eyes were back to slits and their reddened state, she took four slashes to her opponent's chest; deep cuts could be seen through the ripped clothes, three of the cuts were bleeding. The last slash was blocked.
"You're horrid at this you know. Your positioning is totally off, you can't hold the sword correctly, and…" her rant was interrupted by nine CLANGS of the clock.
"Stupid clock, why did Karaues make it so accurate…To annoy us," the last part was muttered, "Sorry demon, lick your wounds while I'm away," with that Mizu rushed out of the room, trench coat ruffling.
"Three, two, one," counted Mizu, at the one a loud screech sound could be heard, "And that's what happens when you let demons drive cars." She sighed and walked over to the black SUV.
"You're the only one who can drive fairly decently, so I've gotta speak to you, unfortunately," Mizu picked up the envelope, and reread it just to make sure.
"To Mizu Shiori, blah, blah, blah, ah here we go; apprentice…s? I get two, oh just great, two chibi to look after…If I've have to suffer then the Karue hasta too!" exclaimed the hanyou, already starting to plot out the chibi-care sessions.
"Ah, let's go Karue," said Mizu, getting into the car.
"Alright Karue, if I must suffer then you will to," said Mizu, dragging the full demon behind her. The duo came to a halt in front of the ministry, and halted for a minute or two.
"Hey Karaues, could you change into the dragon form while we go in?" asked Mizu, giving him a half glare.
"Why first, then I'll consider," said Karaues, giving a half glare back.
"Do you want them to see you in one of your weaker forms? Admit it, the dragon is your strongest one…even if it is the smallest," an evil half grin crossed over her face again.
Karaues twitched at the comment, but complied with Mizu's request. The familiar blue dragon curled around Mizu's left arm.
"It's not that bad, you just minified yourself," a slightly kinder smile graced the hanyou's lips.
Mizu opened the front door of the ministry with her left hand, and shuddered as thoughts of little kids running around her house presented themselves. Out of habit her right hand came up, and she started stroking the length of Karaues's body, hand shuddering all the while. They saw a magician with an imp floating above his shoulder, and one with a snake around his waist.
"They use the oddest forms to get around, don't they?" asked Mizu, trying to calm herself down.
"Yes they do," Karaues gave off a small sigh.
"What's up, you don't sigh like that unless you're worried about something?" reasoned Mizu, walking towards the front desk, unfortunately she tripped. An undignified 'eep' came out of her mouth. She sighed dejectedly, and looked over what she tripped on. It was a gold amulet-ish thing, odd writing (or at least she assumed it was writing) was etched around a sapphire in the center of the gold, and a dark green chain was attached to the top of the amulet.
"Ya know, for a jonin-in-training you can be really clumsy," a toothy smile was plastered on the blue dragon's face.
"Shut up, this…thing was NOT here before; I know you think predicting random things popping up from thin air is easy, well it is NOT!" a royally annoyed Mizu was giving the dragon her acidic glare, the dragon decided to keep his mouth shut for the time being.
"Good, you shut your mouth, later we should read about the thing I tripped over, for now I'll keep it," an easy going smile replaced her previous expression.
Karaues stared at her, wondering who exactly how one being could go from annoyed to perfectly fine in a few minutes. After pondering for a minute he muttered out 'hormones.'
"Hey! I don't have hormone problems," Mizu was back onto her annoyed streak; fortunately she managed to calm down before she reached the front desk.
"I'm here to pick up my charges," said Mizu as she gave the counter person the papers.
"So you have, the male is quite bright, we are not sure about the female yet, however. Please wait here so I may bring your charges to you?" the lady said in possibly the most polite and annoying voice you have ever heard.
'I don't like her, can I jinx her?' asked the being that was affectionately called Dark-chan; Mizu's eyes widened in shock, then went to the normal, slightly narrowed state.
'But we barely know her; I can't go around jinxing people I don't even know. However…A certain 'Marik' comes to mind,' thought Mizu, looking bored as she picked up a black notebook.
As she opened it she blinked, "Oh Kami-sama," she muttered under her breath, and snapped the book closed.
"What is it?" asked the dragon, opening one eye.
"THIS!" exclaimed Mizu throwing the book onto the table.
"Oh, it's one of the universe books isn't it?" asked Karaues, looking at the book with as little interest as possible.
"Yes, now take this back to the house, you remember the spell right?" asked Mizu, stretching her arms.
"When did I get downgraded to carrier pigeon?" grumbled Karaues, grabbing the notebook in his mouth and making a small clicking sound as he disappeared.
"At least I can count on him," said Mizu as she saw her charges approaching.
Mizu was resisting the urge to squeeze the two of them, and straightening up her posture, "Hello little ones, you may call me Mizu," a bored look came over her face. Neither child was willing to talk yet.
"It's crowded around now, but I can't go anywhere until my friend comes back, he IS the only one who can drive," Mizu said as she took the two of them from the counter person, and walked outside.
Mizu gave a small sigh, "Do either of you chibi want ice-cream?" the two gave little nods, "There is a place near my house, we can go there when my friend comes back, what do you two say?" they both stared. A small clicking sound was herd as Karaues, in a black haired adult's form.
"Hey there he is, Karue! Over here!" Mizu was waving her arms wildly.
"Yah, yah, I'm coming," said the demon in his guise.
"This is Karaues; you can just call him Karue. He doesn't talk much until he gets to know you, but then he is pretty friendly," Mizu smiled mischievously and petted Karaues.
"I am NOT a dog," he was growling, and a vein in his forehead was twitching.
"If your 'not a dog' then why are you growling?" asked Mizu playfully, wrapping an arm around Karaues's neck.
"Because I am annoyed, now would you mind letting go of me," said Karaues, trying to pry Mizu's arm off of him.
"Not until you say hello to the chibis," almost choking the poor demon, he was reduced to making spluttering, coughing sounds.
"Hello," squeaked out of Karaues's lips, rubbing his neck as Mizu let him out of her death grip.
"Hi," muttered the girl, barely audible, blushing, and looking up to Mizu's eyes.
"Great you can talk, what about your friend over there?" asked Mizu gesturing at the boy, who buried his face in the girl's shoulder.
"He's just shy, he'll talk soon… I think," said the girl, looking at the back of the boy's head.
"He has to; classes for the two of you start in two days. The first two days are for exploring the house, but no going into the locked rooms, got it?" Mizu stared down at the girl, almost glaring, while Karaues stared at the back of Mizu's neck hungrily.
"Don't you dare," snapped the currently blond hanyou, giving Karaues one of her reserved death glares.
"Dare I what?" asked Karaues, acting innocent, Mizu gave a sigh, and shook her head.
"Whatever, lets go little chibi-chan, our car is at the corner," Mizu took the girl's hand who held on to the boy's hand.
"This is your house?" asked the girl, eyes widening in amazement.
The boy looked up when he herd the shock in the other's voice. He showed his own astonishment by keeping his head up to look around; the first thing he noticed was that almost everything was blue, with touches of black on some things.
"Yes this is my house, chibi-chan, it really isn't much compared to the other magicians homes, but the two of you are allowed to explore a bit, so off with you, before the classes start," said Mizu, opening the door to the garden.
"Okay, thank you miss," the girl gave a small bow and tugged on the boy's hand for him to follow her, "Hey miss?"
"Yes chibi-chan?" asked Mizu, looking at the two kids.
"Why do you give off a blue flaming thing around you?" asked the girl, Mizu looked apprehensive.
"If I told you the truth you would never believe me," Mizu looked down for a moment then pushed the girl into the garden, "But don't dwell on it, alright?"
"I need to talk to Shizuri, muttered Mizu.
She picked up a small, blue, plain, glass bowl, and slipped on a pair of black slippers. Mizu stepped into the sun (it finally cleared up after the cloudy start of the day) and sighed contently, wishing she could drop the Illusion. Humming she made her way to the lake, passing the two kids as the girl tried to convince the boy to talk. Mizu chanted quietly and dipped the bowl into the lake; ripples were drawn towards the bowl. As she picked up the bowl the ripples disappeared, Mizu sighed and walked back up to her room.
Letting go of the Illusion, a silver haired fourteen-year-old was revealed as her fluffy blue wings fluttered, before folding onto her back. A silvery tail swayed back and forth, and silvery eyes replaced blue ones.
"Shizuri," Mizu coaxed the water to give her a picture of her sister. Slowly the water rippled and smoothed out to show a black haired human teen's head.
"What is it, onee-san?" asked a sleepy voice.
"Ha! So you did keep the mirror I gave you," Mizu grinned at the teen.
"I wish I couldn't, unfortunately you bonded it to my soul which means I can't get rid of the thing…what's the unbinding spell?" Shizuri glared at her sister.
"Why would I tell you little sister, I love annoying you," and evil grin was on Mizu's face.
"You're evil…Hey onee-san, why aren't you in the garden?"
"Because I've got two chibi in my house, playing in the garden, I can do anything in front of them yet!"
"So you finally got your apprentice," now the evil grin was being used by the younger sister, a small cackle was heard.
"Apprentices and I'm not the only evil one, Zuri-chan," Mizu raised an eyebrow.
"That's rare, how many of the mini magicians do you take care of? Oh, and the evil sorta runs in our family."
"I need to take care of two of the chibi-chan, and that I already knew."
"And so why did you call, onee-san?"
"I need a favor, little sister."
"What is it? And I will not do a world gating for you, and you know my restrictions."
"I know, I know, I need you to stop the time around here for a little while, once the little ones are around twelve."
"I'll assume you're bringing them to Hogwarts. Are you sure that's a good idea, what if they don't have any magic?"
"It's a better idea then leaving them to mature just around here they need to lean more ways of protecting themselves, and I'm bringing them to the Naruto universe first."
"Let them lean how to kill? That's even worse, and they must start the academy by age seven."
"Well they need to learn how to protect themselves right? I'll just make sure that we don't pop up before the C-rank-turned-A-rank-mission. Age seven, huh? That is something I can by-step."
"But still, when do you want them to pop up anyway?"
"Preferably before Team 7 has gone their separate ways, I want Kakashi with the chibi."
At that moment a dark blue-purple eyed, little kid, that looked slightly like a marionette, was also pictured in the bowl of water, tackling Shizuri.
"Tamesis! What are you doing? You should be sleeping," Shizuri looked slightly shocked that the little kid knocked her down.
"Is this your other partner, imoto-chan?" asked the sliver haired hanyou, looking at the kid with slight interest, who was now sitting in Shizuri's lap.
"Yes, she is. I don't think Kiyo gets along with Tamesis very much. The two of them fight so much; now, about the time?"
"Ah," Mizu stretched out her arms, "that's right, I need the time stopped, and a bit of time messed with."
"When are you going to go on your death-trap-trip?" scratching of pen could be heard from the other side of the water.
"I'll contact you when I need it."
"My rating might decrease by then," Shizuri pointed out, as Tamesis's eyes started to glaze over into a dark purple, and a deep voice started cackling.
"Why even bother helping, kindness does not do anything. Death accomplishes much more," a luring voice came out of the kid's mouth.
"The Lone One, I presume? Leave here now, or Life's power shall be turned on you, I know your weaknesses," silvery eyes seemed to flash, with annoyance.
The mamodo growled, and its eyes slowly faded into the deep, dark blue-purple eyes. The owner of the eyes blinked, "Huh? Did I miss something?"
"Nothing interesting," well, according to Mizu.
"Alright, then, good night…I think," with that the kid hopped off of Mizu's lap, and walked out the door.
"Cool partner, she gives off weird energy waves though."
"I still can't find the waves through the mirror, how do you do this stuff?"
"That I shall never reveal," Mizu winked, and ended the conversation by waving her hand over the now rippling water.
The winged girl ruffled her wings and brought up the Illusion spell over herself again.
"I've decided that our first order of business: tour around the house. I'd rather know that the two of you know how to get around, and where to stay out of so I don't have to monitor the two of you constantly," said Mizu, bringing the two kids upstairs. Karaues was in a black haired teen's form.
"The blue door on the right with the crescent moon on it is yours," Karaues indicated it to the boy.
"And the silver one with the black star is yours, chibi-chan," Mizu waved a hand in the door's direction, and lightly pushed the dark haired girl to it.
"And moving on, the black-blue door is my room, don't ever come in without knocking, got it?" Mizu growled, narrowing her eyes into a glare. The children nodded their heads.
"Down the stairs is the basement, don't go in there with out Mizu's specific permission," Karaues growled out, the kids nodded again.
"Good, now I want you both to go into the first light blue door on the left on the second floor, read the books, and manga that are there," Mizu smiled, pointing to the mahogany staircase.
"What are manga?" asked the boy, shyly, speaking up. This earned him a blank stare from Karaues, and a huge grin from the hanyou.
"Hey, you can talk; Karaues thought you were mute or something. Manga are Japanese comic books, and they're a million times more interesting." Karaues snorted as the blond said the ending line.
"But that however is coming from someone who hates the English cartoons."
"How can I not. Damsel in distress, keh! Last time I checked I saved at least half of those heroic idiots!" Mizu was extremely annoyed, and folded her arms over her chest. A scowl was on her face.
"Anyway why don't the two of you just go down and read those books, your going to need to know certain parts later on," Karaues pushed the two kids over to the staircase. As soon as Mizu heard the soft 'click' of the closing door, she pulled off the Illusion.
A silvery fox-like tail wrapped around her left leg, small claws appeared on her hands, and silvery-blue wolf-like ears adorned the top of her head, the same color as her hair. She was dressed in a black, long-sleeved shirt, blue pants, and sandals for her feet.
"Karaues, do you know why I can only take some forms, and not others?" Mizu turned her large blue eyes over to the older demon.
"It's because the bloods of both your families are your forms. Although you seem to be able to mix and match certain parts, oh and if you stare at someone for a while you can take their form. I don't advise this, but you can bite someone and imitate their Kekkai Genkai .What prompted you to ask such an odd question, and why didn't you know?" asked Karaues, letting his hair turn silvery, and dog ears popped up where human ears should be.
"Nothing but some random curiosity, and because I don't bite people!" Mizu said, rubbing her nose.
"Oh, alright, do you want to help me cook?" asked Karaues, already walking down the stairs. Mizu smiled and walked behind her friend.
Mini Time Skip
"What are you doing, it only said 'a teaspoon of sugar'!" Karaues started to remember why he made Mizu avoid the kitchen at all costs.
"I'm sorry, I so horrible at this!" Mizu was breaking down, while holding a black…thing that looked vaguely like a cake. Karaues blamed all of this on Mizu's hate for following directions.
"Well, you do have to be balanced. You're good at various other things, so you must have some weakness. 'Sides I can always cook if we ever end up close to starving," said Karaues, glad to have something to annoy the hanyou with. Mizu nodded grudgingly accepting that Karaues could make just about anything into an edible meal.
"Now, changing the subject completely, when do you think the chibi are going to be ready to go to the Naruto universe?" asked Karaues, cutting carrots, and putting them in a bowl of salad.
"I was thinking about adding them onto Kakashi's team, but I don't want them going on the C-turned-A-rank mission. I think that when they're twelve would be a good time," Mizu said, deciding to avoid the kitchen appliances.
"Yea, I don't want them killing anyone to soon either. But I think that Karunai is the better one to show them around, not as perverted, you know," said Karaues, now pouring some cake batter into a bowl.
"True, but Kakashi-san is the best jonin there. And I don't want the chibi's to learn from anyone other than the best. If they aren't trainer properly then the chibi won't be able to… well you know," said Mizu, picking up a small chocolate chip cookie.
"But still! What if they get his perverted tendencies?" he was mixing the batter with a wooden spoon.
"Unless they actually look into that book, they shouldn't pick up anything inappropriate…well hopefully," Mizu grinned and bit into the cookie.
"You are so positive, anyway what was in that library that you sent the chibi into?" asked Karaues.
"I don't know…Dark-chan thinks it was CLAMP's stuff though and Naruto," said Mizu, happily munching her cookie.
"You sent them in there without knowing what was in there!" growled the older demon, "What if that stuff is Ranma ½ they'll both be scared for life!" the full demon paced back and forth on the worn tiles.
"Stop pacing, you'll make a hole in the floor then I'll have to pay for more new tiling, and I like this tiling," the tailed hanyou glared and the pacing feet.
"Well how else am I supposed to relieve stress?" snapped the demon.
"Remember that putty I gave you, you know the gooey green stuff?"
"Yes, but is all sticky…and stuff…" Mizu glared at Karaues, and started to bang her head on the table, sigh, and groan.
"Moron," muttered Mizu.
I am so sorry that I didn't get this up sooner, but I got grounded from the computer, which meant that I couldn't get into my Word files...So again sorry!
