Author: Thank you to those reading this fanfic written by an novice writer. I edited this chapter after re-reading it a few times and realized I contradicted some of the things the characters said and somethings written I did not like.

Chapter 8: "The Hot Springs - A Hot Spot For Perverts"

Seihana spent her day at the fire's hot spring resort. The hot water soothed her sore muscles. From the other women in attendance she heard the gossip of their latest conquests. Dirty minds prevailed.

She felt a familiar presence. Putting her head towel over her eyes Sei casted byakugan. Her eyes scanned the male side of the hot springs. Her prying eye caught the forms of the Senju brothers in all their nude glory. The powerful impact of such a view caused a shrill squeak to escape her lips and the color scarlet brightened her cheeks. Her screech caught the attention of another kunoichi. Her towel was snatched away from her head.

"Oh, You perv... See anything you like?" A heavy chested red haired woman inquired, sipping from a sakè cup. Mitō stood behind her removing her towel.

"This is my cousin Mai Uzumaki." Mitō introduced stepping into the steaming water.

"Pleased to meet you." Sei offered the spot next to herself.

"The pleasure is all mine." Mai offered saké with a bright smirk.

"I did not know you were coming here with your husband and his brother, Mitō." Sei commented simpering.

Mai tilted her head back relaxing, "You saw those two? No wonder you were in a daze."

Sei declared in defense to Mitō, "I did not lustfully gawk at Hashirama."

Mai giggled giving her insight, "At Tobirama then? Hmm, Both of them can get a lady's blood pressure rising." Mai gave Sei and Mitō one of her sexy winks. "Ohh, my heart is all flutter just thinking of those fine bodied men."

Mitō rolled her eyes at her cousin's lewd antics. Fervid Mai laughed off Mitō's reaction and audaciously added, "Tell me Sei? Does he have a shapely behind? He must if he is always hiding it..."

Sei dragged her words, "I did not see his backside... I saw the full..."

"Frontal? Oh, You naughty, naughty woman." Mai chuckled waving her index finger.

Mitō narrowed her eyes saying, "Cousin, Stop it. You are embarrassing Sei."

"Oh, there is nothing to be embrassed of. Even at such sight I wouldn't be ashamed. But rather moved." Mai offered Sei a shot of Saké.

"Thank you..." Sei exclaimed drinking to Mai's uncanny wisdom. "I must confess he doe's have a nice..."

Moments back on the other side both Hashirama and Tobirama heard the high pitched screech coming from the woman's side of the bath house.

Hashirama remarked concern, "I hope nothing bad happened on the ladie's side... We should check it out."

Tobirama sat in place, "No need. It was Sei's squeal."

Hashirama raised a brow, "Are you sure? It was her? It could have been Mitō... I don't want to get the silent treatment later."

"Yes, It sounded like Lady Sei and I can feel her chakra resonating from there." Tobirama reassured him.

Knowing his brother was well versed in the personage of Sei. Hashirama requested, "Why would Sei scream?...Could be anything..."

"She has byakugan..."

"She activated her byakugan? Why?"

"To look over here..."

"She saw me naked? I do look good with nothing on." Hashirama boasted stepping into the water. He liked that even as a married man other women were noticing him. Once Mitō caught on tension manifested making him more desirable to the red haired Uzumaki. "Mitō is going to be jealous that another woman gazed upon the natural majesty of her husband. Hopefully she liked what she saw."

"I'm sure you were not the one she intended to gaze upon." Tobirama noted bypassing his brother's buffoonery.

Hashirama cracked up, "You?"

"She saw through me before... More over now a full view..." Tobirama said letting Hashirama's question answer itself. Hashirama remembered what their sister alluded to. "You are courting Sei? That is how you learnt about The Demon Shadow: Master Of Kuton."

"Courting her? I told her how I felt however she denied her own... By rumor I heard Sei had a fiance whom recently annulled his engagement to her for personal reasons." He noted closing his eyes.

Hashirama came to the grim conclusion, "You got in the way of a Hyūga marriage pact? That is very dangerous."

"No I had nothing to do with it. However that leaves for more possible maneuvers and Sei's current dilemma may lead to many opportunities. One of these days Sei will meet with her demons and her family will ask the other clans for assistance..."

"You are going to get official courtship from her father?"

"Yes. If I pursued her on the basis of feeling any kind of courtship would fail."

"No, I get the schemes. The Hyūga are a powerful family... Speaking of close relations brother. I have a woman that I believe is worthy of your courtship..."

"I don't want to hear it."

"Please, brother. Give me a chance. Now that our dearest cousin Tōka has married the Lord of Haruno and is off to make her own brilliant family... You and I as the last two men of the Senju; It is up to us to preserve the Senju bloodline or face oblivion." Hashirama reveled remembering Tōka's engagement he so instigated himself not long back.

"Who is this woman?"

"She is a beautiful full... Umm, bodied woman. Her name is Mai Uzumaki."

"Another Uzumaki?" Tobirama scoffed.

"Please, brother don't make that face. Yes, she's another Uzumaki; Mai is Mitō's cousin and is with her across from us. She is a very intelligent, open minded, expressive and a self sufficient woman."

Tobirama glared at Hashirama. He insisted, "Uzumaki Mai is obscene. Is she not already married and has a child?"

"Yes, Sadly now widowed and lost her son to rogues. I can't fathom the pain she is going through... Loosing a spouse and child..." Hashirama spoke from the heart, "I don't know what I would do if that ever happened to me."

"Though we can't predict external events however with caution in mind many unfortunate events can be avoided."

"So please give her a chance." Hashirama pleaded.

"Fine, I'll follow along while you play matchmaker, brother."

"Thank you!" Hashirama smiled content.

Before making his presence known

Madara overheard a part of their conversation.

"Madara, you came!" Hashirama beamed greeting his friend.

"You invited me... I wouldn't turn down an offer from a childhood..."

"Friend!" Hashirama was about to hug Madara.

"Don't hug me. We both are nude... It would be awkward."

"Ohh, sorry!" Hashirama backed away.

"Brother, your advances are confusing Madara." Tobirama laughed mockingly.

Tobirama's words provoked Madara. Who raised his fist saying, "What advances have you made on my vixen Sei, Senju mongrel?!"

"Plenty. A Senju mongrel pleases well." Tobirama replied sarcastically.

"Now, now; Brothers you wouldn't fight each other in your birthday suits? Now, would you?" Hashirama questioned trying to distil the conflict.

"Sei already seen me in mine."

"How could you expose yourself to such a goddess!? You defiler!" Madara thundered about to attack Tobirama.

"Defiler? I'm sure such struck favor with her."

Hashirama thought scratching his head, 'I have to act as the elder brother...' He patronized them both, "Stop this right now! Fighting over a woman is below you both."

"Hold your tongue, You inbred fool." Ignoring Hashirama Tobirama shot back at the Uchiha.

"I will not hold mine, cur!" Madara charged forth toward Tobirama.

Tobirama used his suiton catapulting Madara across over the bamboo divider into the women's section of the hot spring. Madara cried as he landed face first into Sei's chest. "Ugh!"

"Eh?" She murmured red faced. His entrance startled the women in attendance (except Sei, Mai and Mitō) who rush out into the changing room.

"You should first ask a lady permission... Madara? You don't wait do you?" Mai commented beside the point.

"Get off me!" Sei pushed him off with all her strength.

"Forgive me, Sei."

"Come, Sei let's get you out of this mess." Mitō took her by the arm showing her out leaving Mai and Madara in the steamy water.

"Hmm, for some men this would be paradise, surrounded by nude, beautiful women... But you seem a feared man... You shouldn't be... you are quite an attractive man..." Mai took another sip from her saké cup giving him a sexy smile. Furthermore She stepped out of the hot spring.

"Come, Uchiha leader you look like you're about to explode...You're so red." Mai got herself a towel and gave Madara another.

Meanwhile, on the men's side of the hot spring...

"Brother, how could do that to Madara! He is a sitting duck around women!" Hashirama reminded Tobirama as he wrapped a towel around his waist.

Tobirama's brown eyes flickered red for a split second, "This will teach that Uchiha bastard."

"You need to have more empathy. Imagine if you were in Madara's place, brother."

"I would never be in Madara's place."

Hashirama sighed, shaking his head. "You both are so stubborn... Woe to Sei."

Madara and Mai split their ways. They both returned to their rooms. Madara felt so ashamed he wouldn't be joining Hashirama and others for a night of heavy drinking and partying. 'Surrounded by beautiful naked women! Ugh, my nose!'

Izuna lightly stepped into Madara's room. "Brother you have been sulking here for hours. Hashirama invited everyone for a private party at his inn rooms... You should come."

"I'm not going."

"Come on, brother."

"No."

"Suit yourself." Izuna sighed shutting the door.

He turned to Aikiku who smothered him with her delicate arms. "What happened to my elder brother?"

"According to Hashi and Mito... Tobirama flung him over the bamboo divider into the woman's side of the hot spring."

Izuna chuckled mischievously, "Too bad we did not witness it. Let's tell Hashirama, Madara will not be joining us."

In Sei's room Kūrō rested himself around his mother's head. Sei preoccupied herself reading a book. A shifting of her door startled her when Mai entered. She stole her book away and read it, "Oh, I'm friends with the Lady who wrote this..."

"You travel a lot don't you?"

"Yes, I do... The Lady of Fire. She's a very kind woman... Maybe I will whisk you away one of these days to meet her... Hashirama has invited everyone to a party its plus one. I'm bringing you along. Put on something sultry... Sensuality at its best." Mai winked at Sei.

"Like this?" Sei took a dress from her baggage. The dress was skin tight and exposed cleavage.

"Yes." Mai grinned.

Sei declared boldly, "My plot will not be foiled this time."

Mai slapped her behind playfully, "You devious siren... We will be great friends for sure... Let's get you ready."

Meanwhile in the lounge room between the Senju brothers rooms. Tobirama watched as waiters placed food and drinks on the table. Hashirama revealed to him, "I have invited everyone to a party! Including Mai and the Uchiha brothers..."

"Anyone else?"

"Mai is going to bring a companion with her... She said she was inviting Sei." Hashirama disclosed. He questioned his little brother's grim expression. "Why? The sour face? Brother?"

Tobirama changed his disposition in an instant, Revealing his thoughts to his brother, "The last time we spoke... I deserted her to face her fears on her own."

Hashirama gave him a comforting pat on the back. He replied supporting him, "Soon you will be able to reconcile."

Tobirama did not respond.

"I'll try to persuade Madara to join us."

"Good luck, persuading him." Tobirama smirked at the thought of Madara's misery. With that Hashirama left with Mitō to Madara's room.

Ten minutes later after dressing up and fixing her hair. Mai, Sei and her cat Kurō arrived at the party. Only Tobirama, Izuna and Aikiku were in attendance. The young lovers spoke to each other allowing Tobirama to listen in on their pointless lover's banter. Feeling the cordial presence of Sei entering the room he kept his gaze to the table.

Sei released Kuro from her hold allowing him to scamper off. She installed herself beside him showing the same bashfulness. Tobirama scowled turning his head to face away from them. Sei who closed her eye's thought for a moment locking her hands together in her lap. Her glowing disposition changed completely with a subtle giggle allowing her practiced hands to caress his shoulders. Gracefully she rested herself on Tobirama's lap. Sneaking in a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"Would my friends like any drinks?" Mai placed bottles of saké on the table.

"Thanks." Sei popped a bottle, poured some into Tobirama's cup, her own and took a drink.

"Hahah, So Sei has been close with my brother all this time. It comes rather unexpected..." Aikiku sarcastically tittered.

Izuna revealed with a teasing smirk, "My brother told me he kissed her the other day..."

"Oh, heh, heh! Your elder brother will be jealous." Aikiku giggled whispering to Izuna.

"Or your brother."

Sei noticed something important, "I just don't want bad blood between Madara and Tobirama because of a foolish woman like me."

Aikiku poured sake into her cup, "There has been for a long time already... It has nothing to do with you... Madara killed one of our brother's during the wars. Tobirama tried to kill Izuna as retribution but I got in the way."

"Replace that cycle of hatred with a cycle of love... Oh, you are already doing that; Aikiku and Izuna." Mai commented sweetly.

"In fact we were thinking of making us official... Izuna and I are engaged!"

"What?! You are only Seventeen years old! Engaged to an Uchiha nonetheless!" Tobirama blurted out, flames in his eyes.

"But! We love each other! It doesn't matter to me if he's an Uchiha!" Aikiku cried. "You hypocrite dated an Uchiha, Tobirama."

"You stubborn child... By the blood of the savage Uchiha you will curse your own progeny to a future of bloodshed and pain... Your children will kill each other for power."

Aikiku slammed her fist on the table, "You don't know how our children will be like! You are not my father! Tobirama! So stop acting like you are... I can make my own choices."

"Don't compare me to such a despicable man!"

"Stop acting like him!"

"Please stop... This argument will do you both no good." Sei warned them hugging him.

"Stop being soo touchy feely with my brother! Sei! He's still in love with a dead woman!" Aikiku warned her.

"Sei can touch me any where she wants." Tobirama approved making Sei flustered. She rested her chin on his shoulder, "You really mean ... A͟n͟y͟ w͟h͟e͟r͟e͟? Hmm, You spoil me."

Sei's response caused Mai to laugh quietly. "Ridiculous."

Izuna snickered drinking, "Ai can worship me whenever she wants."

"Izu! Stop!"

"Stop what?"

"It isn't the time and place to be talking like that!" Aikiku boiled over.

"If it pleases you, my love." He backed down.

"That is quite the way to treat your fiance, Sister."

"Brother, I don't need you to lecture me."

"Good, I wonder what is taking up Hashirama's time..."

Meanwhile outside Madara's room Hashirama begged for his door to be unlocked. For the past thirty minutes his attempts came to no avail. Madara gave him the silent treatment.

"Come on! Madara! Come out or let me come in." He knocked on the door.

"Would you like me to kick the door down? Dear?" Mitō asked her husband.

"I would have to pay for the damages. Please no." Hashirama did not want to waste his extra money for gambling.

"Madara Uchiha! Open this door now! Or I'm kicking it off the henge's!" Mitō yelled at the door.

Hashirama came up with a brilliant plan. He informed Madara, "Sei is at the party and my brother. Who knows maybe he has his hands on her... Madara?"

"You are soo evil, Hashi." His wife giggled covering her mouth.

"Hopefully this works."

"Madara come quick! Sei's virtue is in danger!"

"Don't you mean virginity?"

Madara opened the door slightly, "You think I would fall for your childish tricks? Hashirama? You will have to do better than that!"

"Madara, I'm serious."

"Heh, heh! No, stop it!" Loud laughter came from Hashirama's room. It was Sei's.

"That filthy mutt! How dare he touch her!" Madara ran down the hallway to Hashirama's room.

"Madara, wait!" Hashirama yells after him. "Oh, kami..."

"Take your hands off of her!" Madara opened the shoji to find Sei's feet being licked by Kurō the shadow dimensional cat while sitting on Tobirama's lap.

"What an odd cat... Sei get off that Senju dog's lap!"

Tobirama defended, "Sei can sit in my lap if it pleases her."

"Mada..." Sei gave Madara the don't press your luck look. He backed away witnessing Sei's vexed but drunk expression.

Seeing this as a probable fight Aikiku and Izuna exclaimed jointly throwing confetti, "We're getting married!"

"Come again? I know you had an relationship with her but I never thought you would get married to her... Izuna?" Madara turned his attention onto Izuna.

"This is great! We are going to be brother-in-laws! Madara!" Hashirama hugged him around the shoulder.

"But... They are too young..."

"It's our choice..."

'Yes, Allow them to make their own mistakes.' Hashirama thought to himself. "So you both will need help with the ceremony and celebration..."

"Hashi! Stop acting like my mother!..." Aikiku's eyes glowed red and all too soon she was back to herself. She beamed like a balmy ray of sunshine, "I already have this planned."

"We already organized everything. Aikiku will be moving in with us!" Izuna mentioned to his elder brother.

Madara replied humorlessly, "Hmm, As long as your wife to be looks after you."

"Don't worry, I will always take care of Izuna." He received an adorable but creepy smile from Aikiku.

"Sister, If he were to cheat on you; I will make sure he never does that again." Tobirama coldly confirmed to Aikiku while threatening Izuna.

Aikiku squirmed protecting Izuna, "You would do that to a defenseless blind young man? There's no need for such threats, brother.

"Who will you name your first child after?" Hashirama hugged his little sister almost tearing.

"uhm, It matters if it's a girl or a boy..." Aikiku hid her face feeling embarrassed.

Hashirama and Tobirama glaced at each other thinking the same thing. Hashirama began to laugh patting Madara on the back and Tobirama requested, "Ai, Are you pregnant?"

"Pregnant? Me? No."

Mai whispered to Mitō of her own wedding years back, "A shotgun wedding? I remember mine years ago."

Mitō spoke up to Aikiku, "Tell the truth, Sister, There is no shame in it..."

"It would explain why you are giving your sake to Izuna..." Sei notioned between sips.

Intoxicated Izuna smiled and congratulated himself, "I'm going to be a father! This is great news! You are going to be an uncle! Madara!"

'An uncle to a freak of nature... Though this is my little brother's child.' Madara hid his thoughts behind an uncertain face. "Usually it is the elder siblings who get married and have children first."

"If it make's you feel better... Mitō is pregnant too." Hashirama spoke up trying to make Aikiku feel better.

"No, I'm not... Pregnant." The small stawberry blonde Senju persisted.

"Are you going to name your child after your bonded brother? Hashirama?" Madara implied touching Mitō's otherwise flat stomach.

"Umm... No." Mito pushed his hand away. Luckily more than a century later Madara would get his wish in the holy name of Sarada Uchiha.

They all looked to Sei except the two men impassioned onto her. Sei crossed her arms, "Just don't ask! Hashirama!"

Hashirama exulted considering her choices, "Whomever you choose, either way I will be happy for the both of you."

Sei glanced at her admirers. She said taking another drink, "Oh, Kami! This is rather too much!"

Madara smiled saying, "Let's get you some fresh air."

Offering Sei his hand. Tobirama was about to pick up Sei however she took Madara's hand lifting her off of Tobirama's lap. In turn Madara gave Tobirama one of his devious grins. Angered Tobirama rolled his eyes and gave Madara a drop dead look.

"Oof... Heh, heh... Forgive me, Madara." She sniffled using his shoulders to stand, "I seem to have drunk a little too much..."

"You are enjoying this? Are you not? Sei?" Mai indulged taking notes.

"I don't know how to make of it..."

"Come on, My dear... Let's go to the bar." Hashirama took his wife's hand exiting the door with haste.

'Oh, Kami! You could cut the air with a knife...There's so much tension!' Mai exclaimed in her head.

Sei mumbled, "Can I have a piggy back ride? Mada?"

"Heh, no... But I'll carry you."

"That's fine, too... Bye! Tobirama! Come to my room tomorrow morning!" She blew a kiss to him while being carried off. Once Sei left her comfortable place on Tobirama's warm lap tipsy Kūrō moved to occupy it. He purred rubbing his cheeks on Tobirama's forearm.

"Meoww." Kurō meowed up at Tobirama. He rubbed his head against Tobirama hand as if to say pet me.

Tobirama scratched Kurō's chin. The shadow cat purred loudly. Closing his eyes. Taking his afternoon nap on the suiton ninja's lap.

Tobirama was between a rock and a hard place, he did not want to leave Sei with that wretched Uchiha. But Kurō was slumbering on his lap. He didn't want to disturb the godly cat either.

Mai followed closely behind the Uchiha and Hyūga. With Sei in his arms Madara walked to her room. Once inside her room he allowed her back on her feet. Without warning Sei pounced on him forcing them both to the floor. Lit She sung tugging on his robes, "Let's mingle like ardorous beasts! You suave Uchiha!"

Madara swiped her groping hands away, "Tempting... But absolutely not! You are drunk, Sei. Get off of me!"

"Not drunk enough!"

"Not drunk enough? You can't stand and think straight!" Madara tried to remove Sei but her lower weight was too much. He said trying to stall her, "You are a beautiful goddess but you are a whore! Sei!"

"I'm a whore? What a pathetic lie! If I was it probably wouldn't bother a posh bastard like you." Superbound Sei perched over him adjusting her bothersome clothing.

"No, Keep your clothes on..."

Cutting a small hole into the paper of the wall frame with her kunai. Mai eavesdropped looking threw the hole on the Hyūga and Uchiha. 'What an interesting situation... Saucy...'

"Yes, It would! It actually hurts... Seeing other men touch you..." Madara defended.

"Seeing you jealous bothers me! Don't be! I'm not worth the emotional digression... There is plenty of women out there who are better for you than me..." Sei released Madara and sat cross legged. Now he doubted the level of her drunkenness. "Thank you for helping me... You can go now..."

Madara stood in place, his cold gaze pierced through her, He claimed, "I will make you mine..."

"Is that a threat?"

"No, It's a promise."

"How bold of you to say." Sei positioned herself facing Madara, She lectured him, "No matter how hard you try to capture a moon goddess... A land bound monkey will never reach the heavens."

"Then I shall become the Phoenix and take flight to meet you." He raised her chin with his index finger moving in to give her a kiss.

"You stubborn fool! Not if you die first!"

Sei moved to slap him nevertheless Madara locked his hand around her wrist. His eyes shifted to red, "Then I shall raise reborn."

"I admire your endurance..." Sei tried to knee him in the groin but he pinned her foot to the ground with his own.

"You are one cold hearted predictable bitch." He twisted her around and held her arm against her back.

"You know I am." Sei bended forward intending to hit Madara in the abdomen with her behind or break his hold on her.

"Your dancing is quite dirty..." He commented vivaciously slapping her shapely behind.

Sei blushed feeling his free hand trace her curved hips, "Your own is no better."

"True." He hugged her from behind. "I will destroy your demons who threaten the joy in your step."

"Mada..." Seihana muttered under her breath. She forcefully removed herself from their embrace, "You blind idiot! There is no joy in my sway! Only darkness."

"I will have to clear the darkness which surrounds you." He claimed defiance.

She angrily narrowed her pale eye, "By doing what?"

"By destroying the origin of your fear... I will kill the onikage."

"You will die if you do that! And I would rather not be the cause of your death!... Have you been talking to Tobirama?"

Madara felt his face go numb, "No... I would never converse... with that imbecile... He told Hashirama... who told me."

"Don't think by challenging my sensei: I will throw myself at you lovingly... I'm tired... Get out..." Sei showed him the door.

A tinge of flirtation coated his departing words, "You are indeed one cold hearted bitch."

Sei liked his words, "You cockerel hell beast!"

He gave her a kiss goodbye, "That's a new one..."
