Chapter 15: The old switcheroo, Michael vs Jonetsu!
Objective :Who can survive an entire day with their different group of friends!?
Morning
In Michael's living room the teen had survived the painful torture and is sitting in front of his table having some fried pieces of omelets' with his new roommate Jonetsu who sat on the other side. Michael did not come out unscathed he had bandages tightened around his legs and a single band aid under his left eye, by his happy expression he recovered from the ordeal. As Mochi simply watched Television while sipping tea he too was covered in many bandages and bruises but seemed to react to it like normal.
"Man breakfast really is the best meal of the day." Michael chuckled as he ate some rice. He wore a green shirt with black sweatpants.
"Yeah..." Jonetsu trailed off as he continued to eat, he felt weirded out that Michael wasn't affected by the beating he just took.
"You know I think today will be a great day since there are no clouds in the sky." Michael smiled suddenly a loud thunderclap was heard from the outside.
"Um right." Jonetsu nodded.
"Well anyways I hope you enjoy your stay here at casa de Michael/Mochi." Michael laughed, "Or should I say Casa De Michael/Mochi/Jonetsu!"
"Okay you don't have to put up a smile anymore its actually sad." Jonetsu sweatdropped.
"What do you mean?" Michael still kept a happy go lucky smile.
"Its okay I've been dealt that punishment before just let it out." Jonetsu patted Michael behind his back.
"Seriously I'm okay with this, mostly worse stuff happens to me." Michael sighed.
"Heh I bet it doesn't amount to the pain I go through with my friends." Jonetsu looked down at the plate of omelets to see one piece was left between him and Michael. Jonetsu looked at Michael locked his sights on the omelet while preparing his chop sticks. Catching Jonetsu's fierce glare Michael simply smirks.
"You sure you want this to go down we both know the outcome to who gets it." Michael slyly smiled.
"I know and it'll be me!" Jonetsu reached his chop sticks for the omelet as fast as he could until Michael intercepted with his.
"Ah Jonetsu old friend the old rush for the last piece of omelet trick never gets old." Michael chuckled.
"I'm not your friend!" Jonetsu pulls back and grabs the omelet with his chopstick, "Aha!"
"Nope!" Michael pinched Jonetsu's nose with his chop sticks.
"Gah!" Jonetsu screamed in pain and released the piece of egg.
"And now." Michael flipped the bowl over along with the 2 other empty ones and switched them around having one of them contain the omelet. Jonetsu sweatdropped as his eyes tried to catch which bowl he needed to focus on. Once Michael stopped switching them he simply snipped his sticks and said, "Go on choose."
"Hmmm?" Jonetsu looked at all the bowls and smirked, "Okay I will."
"Good but I don't think smirking like an over cocky 2nd best will help though." Michael chuckled.
"Heh you'll see...I choose this one!" Jonetsu slammed his fist on the table knocking all the bowls into the air. This action surprised Michael as he didn't expect his friend to do this at all.
"Now its mine!" The bowl that held the omelet flipped over releasing the contents down towards Michael and Jonetsu.
"Its mine!" Michael/Jonetsu exclaimed grabbing the omelet with their chop sticks at the exact same time.
"Okay Sarutobi I got it first so let go." Jonetsu and Michael butted heads while glaring and smiling at each other.
"No way I was obviously the fastest and there could be no way I could lose to the 2nd rate evil ninja oh I'm sorry I mean Ex-ninja forgive me for being so insensitive." Michael grinned as the power struggle went on until the both realized that the omelet was gone from their chopsticks.
"Wait where did it go?" Michael gasped.
"Beats me." Jonetsu shrugged, "But I still won."
"No you didn't pal I di-" Michael was stopped from a sudden alarm from his watch, "Oh no I'm late for work!" Michael suddenly ran to the hallway wearing his night wear, "Make sure to not mess with my assorted living arrangements got it?"
"Pfft! Don't tell me what to do." Jonetsu spat and crossed both his arms behind his head.
"I'll take that as a -I won't-." Michael sighed and ran out the house in a rush but forgets about the rainy forecast and the fact he was wearing nothing but his night wear.
"He does know that its raining outside and he's wearing his pajamas right?" Jonetsu looks at a chewing Mochi who simply nods, "Wait what are you eating you dirty ape?" Mochi suddenly freezes and looks back to see a pissed off Jonetsu.
Evening
Jonetsu was still lazing around in the house due to him not having anything better to do at the moment. Jonetsu is what you call a slob when it comes to living, he mostly ate what was left in the fridge and or pantry rummaged through Michael's stuff throwing clothes and memorabilia al over the house as Mochi embraced the mess and swam around in it.
"Man where is that guy I've been bored digging through his stuff and now I have nothing to do." Jonetsu yawned, "Hey monkey tell me when will your master come back anyways?"
Mochi continued swimming through the garbage ignoring Jonetsu's comment which angered the ex ninja.
"Okay then fine ignore me its not like I want to talk to you at all!" Jonetsu growled no matter how much he can talk the talk he knew he needed to socially interact with someone at least human. Suddenly the front door in the hallway was heard loudly opening and slamming into the door frame. Jonetsu groaned and said, "Finally yo-" Jonetsu was stopped by the image in front of him, he saw a distressed Michael wearing a gray and black outlined basketball jersey, silver basketball shorts and black sneakers but he and it were covered in dirt and cuts.
"Wha-?" Jonetsu began.
"Don't ask I had a hard day." Michael slumped down.
"Really then tell me because I'm so interested in your day." Jonetsu smiled as he stood up.
"Are you sure?" Michael looked at Jonetsu in shock.
"No I was being sarcastic." Jonetsu shook his head until Michael pushed the teen down to sit and sat on the other end of the table.
"Too late." Michael said as Jonetsu sighed in disappointment.
"Okay first today I was..."
Flashback
In the Hanzo Academy Gymnasium the girls were going through their evasive training procedures by dodging many projectiles like the demon wing shuriken or an entire barrage of kunai. The girls wore their Physical Ed. uniforms for this occasion due to it being in actual school then the outer training grounds (AN: I can't describe the appearances but if you want to know check out the anime.) Both Ikaruga and Katsuragi were able to keep up with the movements Kiriya threw at them, as Asuka tried to keep up showing signs of fumbling as Yagyuu handled the course like it was nothing being able to predict where and which shuriken would be at.
As for Hibari...
"Help me!" Hibari cried running from the vast array of shuriken in a non professional manner.
"Stop running from them and try to evade!" Kiriya scolded.
"But I don't know how!" Hibari cried out frustrated until she tripped over her own foot and gasped as the shuriken began to rain down on her.
"Hibari!" Yagyuu screamed in panic until in a flash all of the shuriken disappeared in a flash before Hibari could even blink.
"Hibari-chan are you okay?" Michael asked as dropped the shuriken around his feet.
"Michael-senpai?" Hibari looks up to see Michael in his P.E attire with some weird black weights tied to his wrists and legs.
"Are you hurt?" Michael asked.
"U-um no Hibari is fine." Hibari smiled.
"Good and now..." Michael does a quick backflip into some free space and rapidly punches the air to get a good workout with the extra weight on his arms and legs.
"Phew done..." Katsuragi sighed in relief as she, Ikaruga and, Asuka finished the last of the exercise.
"Incredible..." Ikaruga gasped in awe at the sight of Michael swinging his weighted body around like nothing. This actually caught the sight of the rest of the girls as Kiriya walks up to Michael with a stern expression.
"Michael your softness won't help Hibari improve." Kiriya explained.
"Yes sensei." Michael stopped and bowed.
"When I gave you permission to practice I didn't expect you to interfere with their regimen so your weight increases up from 3 tons to 7." Kiriya does a hand sign as a purple aura surrounds the weights.
"Wait 7 but I can't do that unprepared!" Michael gasped until he fell flatly onto the ground with his added weights.
"Now stay down there and think about what you've done." Kiriya scolded.
"Hai sensei." Michael sweatdropped while picking himself up.
"Sensei seems to be extra harsh on Michael-kun today." Katsuragi sighed.
"Maybe its because Kiriya sensei has high expectations for him since he is a ninja." Ikaruga explained.
"I guess so but..." Katsuragi sweatdropped at the sight of Kiriya lecturing Michael as the teen struggled doing push ups with his 7 ton weights, "I think he's expecting of way too much from him."
Yagyuu changed her view back to Hibari who started to have tears well up in her eyes hoping to comfort the 15 year old Yagyuu walks over to see what's wrong.
"Hibari what is the matter?" Yagyuu asked.
"I got Michael-senpai in trouble and now he's being punished." Hibari sniffed.
"Don't worry I don't think senpai will be mad." Yagyuu smiled while rubbing the girls back.
"Now I want you to run around the entire campus 50 times while hiding your presence." Kiriya ordered.
"Eh!?" Michael gasped as he couldn't possibly find a way to conceal himself with these heavy weights.
"Move!" Kiriya shouted.
"Yes sir!" Michael yelps as he vanishes with top speed.
"I feel bad for Michael-kun he had to receive punishment from yesterday and now this." Asuka shook her head.
"W-wait punishment from yesterday?" Katsuragi looks over to Asuka, "What did you do to him?"
"Oh nothing." Asuka sweatdropped.
"Right now lets continue with our exercises." Ikaruga made sure to diverge the topic of the conversation as she and Asuka walked away.
"Geez what's up with you two." Katsuragi scratched her head and followed.
2 Hours Later...
"Gagh!" Michael fell on all fours as he finally makes it back to the Gym, he's covered in sweat and the fact that he still had these heavy weights on didn't help him at all. During his punishment he nearly has been caught by a few civilians around the school but due to him flash stepping for each second that happened he made sure that he was just apart of their imagination. He was wondering why Kiriya sensei was so tough on him today he would have expected Asuka or Ikaruga to be the ones causing him pain.
"I guess I'm the only one here." Michael sat down and removed the weights as they banged and left large dents on the wooden floor. Michael simply sighed and wringed out his wrists, "Well I guess I survived today at least."
Suddenly a few presences were felt around the school as they came and went in under a minute. Michael glared at the windows of the gym and analyzed how many were there, "9 no... at least 20 but who could they be?" Hoping to investigate Michael began to stand until a dirty reek of his sweat began to take place on his skin.
"I can't do anything smelling like this if its an enemy they might smell me a mile away." Michael spat as he exits the gym and heads towards the baths. The classroom was empty meaning he has the baths all to himself today then. Finally reaching the bath room's door Michael smiled, "A quick soak is what I ne-!" Michael opened the door to see a disgraceful but lucky sight it was...all of the 5 female shinobi were naked as the steam from the bath covered their most feminine parts.
"..." the girls look over to a glaring Michael looking at them up and down examining their bodies (Hey he's a guy don't judge tell me you wouldn't do the same if you were in this situation) as sweat rolled down his neck.
"I see..." Michael said almost as if he was prepared to fight then backs out and closes the door, "There." Michael simply wipes his forehead thinking, 'That was close.'
Suddenly the door explodes throwing Michael into the class desks, looking back Michael simply opens his mouth in fear as his face paled. Behind him was a pissed off Ikaruga, Asuka and Yagyuu holding their respective weapons as Hibari hid behind them embarrassed to be seen by Michael again. Now the girls wore towels covering their bodies.
"You!" Ikaruga trembled unsheathing Hien.
"Pervert..." Yagyuu pulls out a hidden blade from her umbrella, "We will make your life a living hell."
"Say your prayers." Asuka growled as she points her blades at Michael.
"W-wait I didn't mean to do that please let me live!" Michael begged.
"If you didn't want to peek then why didn't you knock?" Asuka stated the obvious.
"Well..." Michael sweatdropped then thought, 'Damn I got nothing!'
"Michael-senpai your disgusting." Hibari sniffed.
"No don't worry I didn't see anything of interest at all okay hehe...eh?" Michael stopped his nervous chuckling to see the towering kunouichi grow more anger than ever, "Was it something I said?" Michael prepared himself to run but there was one thing missing or someone but who? Suddenly the footsteps of bare feet was heard running towards him.
'No freaking way!' Michael gasped as a naked figure jumped onto him and straddled his body as he into the hard ground.
"What the he-" Michael scratched his head in pain and tried to grab who ever just pinned him down but grabbed something rather squishy and soft? Deciding to look down to his attacker he saw blonde hair.
"Hey Michael-kun having fun there?" Katsuragi peers her head up.
"What then that means?" Michael looks to see his hand pawing at Katsuragi's breast squeezing it for extra emphasis, "Waaaah!" Michael shot his hand back and now saw Katsuragi was completely naked.
"I've finally got you Michael-kun." Katsuragi wrapped her arms around Michael's neck and leans in closer.
"Katsu-san what are you?" Michael's face turned red.
"Ya know just being this close to you and smelling your sweat is really getting me hot right now." Katsuragi pressed her chest against Michael making the boy be a little more enticed to give in.
"My sweat?" Michael stopping moving his head back.
"There no need to resist just come a little closer an-" Katsuragi's lips were only inches away from Michael's now she had finally gotten to him check and mate.
"Indecent acts are not allowed in the classroom." Ikaruga announced as a demonic aura surrounds her and the other 2 girls, Michael broke free from temptation and looks at the furious shinobi in fear.
'That's it.' Michael stood up and slightly pushes Katsuragi back, "If you all want a fight then come at me I won't hold back." Michael's eyes turned dark as he faced the 3 girls.
"He's serious." Asuka gasped.
"Now prepare yourself." Michael executes a few hand signs and shouted, "Now here I go!" Michael's green aura surrounds him.
"Prepare everyone!" Ikaruga shouted.
"I'll take you all out in one blow and here it comes!" Michael clenched his fist as he girls flinched ready to take the attack which strangely never came. But after opening their eyes they saw a running Michael heading towards the secret entrance.
"Look he's running away!" Asuka screamed.
"I can't believe that worked now to make a hasty retreat." Michael laughed until he slams into the hard wall which was supposed to flip to the other side and lead him to victory, "But how?" Michael fell back with a dazed expression until Asuka and Yagyuu started to drag Michael by his legs.
"I'm sorry senpai." Hibari sniffed holding bottle of concealer.
"Et tu Hibari?" Michael cried as he was dragged into the bath room.
"They said they would take my arm." Hibari cried.
"An arm is an arm Hibari, please don't let them do this to me!" Michael reached out for the girl.
"No they said they would break everything except the arm!" Hibari covered her mouth and cried, "Please forgive me!"
"I understand." Michael smiled crestfallen, "Always so truthful that's why your my favorite student Hibari." Asuka walks in front of the downed Michael and slams the bath door shut.
"M-Michael-kun!" Hibari cried out now feeling guilty for what she has done.
"Tch I hope they don't over do it, I was so close and now that I found his weakness I can finally take advantage of it." Katsuragi clenched her fist, "I won't lose!"
"Katsu-nee?" Hibari looks at Katsuragi.
"Yeah." Katsuragi asked.
"Could you please put on your towel?" Hibari stuttered.
"Oh right I forgot." Katsuragi chuckled.
Present
"And that's what happened." Michael smiled.
"Wow I didn't need to know that." Jonetsu sweatdropped, "How did you even escape?"
"Well I pretended to play dead so they dumped me in a construction site somewhere, but I'm sure they were just kidding." Michael sighed.
'These girls sound like murderers dumping a dead body!' Jonetsu shook his head.
"I just don't know if I can survive the next day though." Michael said, "Its like I get punished for each day I wake up too man my life really is a living hell."
"Stop bitching over something that isn't so bad." Jonetsu sighed, "And besides your life isn't hell compared to mine."
"Oh yeah then explain to me if you think handling some girls who are always pulling your from left to right and coming home to see that a pig has ruined your place of rest is something worth to complain about?" Michael growled.
"Hah compared to your day it sounds like a minor inconvenience to where I used to live." Jonetsu spat.
"Meh your a lazy guy who does nothing your life sounds easier to me." Michael smiled slyly.
"You shut your hole, you have no idea what kind of shit I go through at home!" Jonetsu gripped his head trying to lock away his past hurtful events.
"Okay then lets make a challenge of this then!" Michael slammed his foot on the table.
"Challenge?" Jonetsu perked up.
"Yeah a real simple one at that." Michael smirked.
Mochi looked over to Michael then Jonetsu and simply shook his head and continued swimming in the mess he and Jonetsu made.
Morning
Asuka was walking down the road to Michael's house today she wasn't so excited to walk to school with the teen. Seeing him being easily seduced by Katsuragi made her feel even pissed off then the day before. Reaching up to Michael's front doorstep she simply huffs to herself and reaches out to knock on the door until it opens to reveal a lazy eyed Michael wearing his normal day wear.
"Sarutobi-kun!" Asuka said in an angry/professional tone.
"Uh-huh." Michael said lazily while passing Asuka literally ignoring her presence. Asuka took note of this and ran to catch up to Michael still trying to put guilt on the teen's shoulders.
"I see you've had a good night." Asuka said.
"Yup." Michael yawned.
"So don't you have something to say to me?" Asuka pinched Michael's arm.
"Ouch what was that for!?" Michael growled with a hint of killing intent in them.
"You still haven't apologized for what you did!" Asuka growled.
'What's this girl's problem with the guy?' Michael thought then remembered something he has forgotten from a few years ago about a topic -he- would constantly talk about.
"Asuka-san forgive me." Michael grabbed Asuka's hands then looked the girl right in the eyes.
"Um...Michael-kun!" Asuka yelped while a blush spreads across her face.
"I'm sorry for whatever I've done to you so please accept my apology!" Michael said with his eyes shining dreamily.
"Oh...uh...I guess I could." Asuka smiled nervously, "Since I could never get mad at you Michael-kun."
"Great because Asuka-san if you were to stay mad at me forever then I wouldn't want to continue living anymore because I love you." Michael places a hand onto Asuka's cheek and leans in to kiss the girl.
"W-what!?" Asuka's heart flutters by hearing those words pop out of Michael's mouth and was trying to find a way to respond until. She fires a strong right hook into Michael's gut.
"Oogh!" Michael gripped his stomach in pain.
"I'm sorry I-yiieeeeh!" Asuka runs off with a tomato red face from the embarrassment she has just felt. But she couldn't help but feel happy from hearing those words come from Michael's mouth. Perhaps she had won his affection after all. A small smile cracked onto her face as she rushes to school.
"Ngh!" Michael gets up and looks over to where Asuka ran then smirked, "Hah this won't be hard at all."
Flashback
"Lets do a switch of perspectives!" Michael declared.
"Switch?" Jonetsu stood up.
"Yeah we'll both transform our appearances to look like the other and live out their lives for a single day and the first one to admit the latter's life is harder wins." Michael smiled, "But I'm sure I'll win just like the other 50 times."
"Whoa! Whoa! You haven't won anything yet bastard don't get cocky yet because once you've experienced the pain I've gone through then you'll be crying back to me!" Jonetsu grinned.
"We'll see won't we." Michael crossed his arms.
"Yeah we will because I'm gonna kick your ass!" Jonetsu chuckled.
"Not before I take care of your ass first!" Michael growled.
"Oh I'm making sure to protect my ass but you'll never get to it!" Jonetsu growled.
"Alright enough assing around make sure to get your ass ready for tomorrow!" Michael yelled.
...
"ASS!" Michael and Jonetsu screamed.
Present
"Lets see how you like my life you little bastard!" *Michael who was revealed to be Jonetsu laughed maniacally and continued his walk to school. From the shadows a slight glint revealed a few Hebijo ninja closing in on their target.
Running around in the mountains near the city Jonetsu is running through the rough terrain with ease as a struggling Mochi grips onto the teens hair. Jonetsu raced through the trees and rock formations with great haste.
"Oh sorry Mochi I forgot about you!" *Jonetsu slowed down a bit as Mochi sighed in relief, "I'm just so excited to win this thing I mean proving to that guy that I can handle his lazy old life is just the self esteem boost I need." Mochi lazily nodded.
Nearing a cave which seemed small on the outside *Jonetsu finally stops to glance at the exact location he was told to look for. He simply sighed and said, "Is this it I mean he got kicked out of this place, heh I guess he must super poor to live in this piece of rock."
Taking a step forward *Jonetsu was then lifted into the air by a piece of rope which was connected to a tree. Mochi held on for dear life as he pulled on *Jonetsu's hair.
"What's going on!" *Jonetsu gasped until he saw a figure walk out the cave entrance, *Jonetsu prepared himself by slowly pulling out a kunai.
"I see you've brought your lazy, sorry excuse for an ass back home." the figure walks into the light revealing it to be a 16 year old girl with tanned skin, dark brown hair tied in a long ponytail with a white ribbon, as the ends of the ribbon stand straight up as her blue-grayish eyes glared at *Jonetsu. She wore a white t-shirt with the words Crimson in Japanese, blue jeans and black shoes.
'Wait is she...?' *Jonetsu pondered over to who was the girl.
"So did you come back to grovel and beg to come back." the girl grinned.
'Yeah I remember her now she was the one who fought Asuka-san a few months ago, her name was...' *Jonetsu glared at the girl.
"Homura-san..." *Jonetsu said seriously.
"Wow you sound serious for once it must be freezing over in hell, now tell me what's your business here." Homura growled, "I remembered telling you never to come back."
"Hmph!" *Jonetsu broke free of the rope and lands in front of Homura, "I'm here to help you and the others out anyway I can if its okay with you."
"Hah! Help all you ever do is eat and sleep that won't help us at all." Homura spat.
"Well then why not give me a second chance I won't let you down!" *Jonetsu said with extra enthusiasm.
"Hmm what are you pulling your usually complaining about working." Homura scanned *Jonetsu.
"Nothing now tell me what I should do and I'll take care of it!" *Jonetsu grinned.
"Okay then fine first do everything on this list." Homura crumpled up a piece of paper and tossed it at *Jonetsu.
*Jonetsu simply caught it and viewed the contents inside which say:
-Distract Yomi with the subject of Bean Sprouts and help her collect said Bean Sprouts
-Become Haruka's Lab Rat
-Help Hikage with sharpening her knives
-Computer Assistance with Mirai
"This list seems written real fast why did you have it if you didn't know I was coming?" *Jonetsu asked.
"Why don't you just focus on working then babbling the day away." Homura growled and entered the cave without turning back.
"The attitude can deal with getting used to but I can handle this with no problems at all!" *Jonetsu smiled enthusiastically, 'Hah just you watch sucker you'll see the hell I've been through.'
With Michael (Jonetsu)
Miruto21: Not doing the asterisk thing with the names anymore its just getting confusing just remember these two are in their transformed states to look like the other.
Michael: Isn't that lazy writing?
Miruto21: Sue me.
Entering the Hanzo Academy School grounds Jonetsu was surprised to see the amount of normal students staying here. But then again it was a secret training ground for shinobi so it made sense. But man...for him to walk about 2 miles to the place was a drag but at least he can safely make it to his next destination until...
"Hey look have you seen that guy before?" a female student whispered to her friend.
"No, but doesn't he seem cute?" the other girl whispered.
"Yeah lets go greet him!" the female students rushed over to Jonetsu.
"Huh oh crap I forgot!" Jonetsu gasped using Michael's face in a panicked fashion as he remembered these words, 'Make sure not to allow any of the students to see you or feel your presence, if you do get caught quickly take shelter in the shadows.' Jonetsu did just that as he hid in the shadows of the building.
"Where'd he go?" the girls searched around for their handsome visitor as Jonetsu watched in the shadows, "And he was such a hottie too."
'Man even the girls at the school act like horny Whores.' Jonetsu shook his head and entered the recommended building leading to the Classroom ahead.
Walking out of the hallways Jonetsu sighed and said, "Finally I made it now to just sit back and rel-"
"Michael!" Kiriya shouted walking up to the male in a brisk pace.
"What do you want?" Jonetsu glared at the teacher.
"Where is your scroll its gone?" Kiriya scolded, "I know your eager to be able to move up and about but you can't retrieve it without my saying."
"Look old man I don't know what your talking about." Jonetsu shrugged.
"Old?" Kiriya glared at his old student.
"What you want to go?" Jonetsu smirked aching for a fight to enjoy he was about to raise his wrist until a hand forces it down and a voice stood up.
"Sensei I don't believe Michael was the one who took back the scroll." Ikaruga defended her friend.
"If he didn't then who?" Kiriya asked.
"Your a ninja find out for yourself." Jonetsu spat with Michael's face again showing some signs of him being an imposter.
"Michael are you alright?" Kiriya asked.
"Why are you suddenly so caring when you just accused me of something I didn't do?" Jonetsu asked with a lazy composure. Kiriya viewed Jonetsu carefully and nodded his head.
"I see then I apologize please resume your work you two." Kiriya vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Tch what a dumbass." Jonetsu spat.
"Michael what is your deal your not acting like yourself at all today." Ikaruga frowned at the teen.
"Hmmm?" Jonetsu casts a fierce glare at Ikaruga then remembers his role as Michael. Knowing how Michael is a goody goody he would have to be romantic towards this girl. Jonetsu then grabbed Ikaruga by the hips and pulls her closer to him. This action earned a embarrassed yelp from Ikaruga whol timidly looked up at Jonetsu.
"M-Michael?" Ikaruga gasped.
"Your word speak a million beauties." Jonetsu smiled with his teeth gleaming.
"W-what?" Ikaruga tilts her head confused by the statement.
'Oh crap I messed up the line.' Jonetsu gulped.
"I mean to say your beauty speaks a million words my dear Ikaruga." Jonetsu fixed his sense of speech.
"Oh my." Ikaruga forms a blue on her cheeks, 'What has gotten into Michael today he seems different somehow.'
"May I ask you something?" Jonetsu smiled.
"Y-yes." Ikaruga tried to sound professional but the sudden question frightened her.
"It's just that I've been thinking and..." Jonetsu purposely trails off, 'While I'm playing the role of this guy I might as well have some fun.'
"What troubles you?" Ikaruga asks.
"Its just that I really want you to bare my children!" Jonetsu proclaimed trying to hide a smirk behind his face. It took a few seconds for Ikaruga to digest this information before she exclaimed.
"EH!?" Ikaruga gasped.
"Please I beg of you I've been feeling this way for so long and I can't hold back anymore." Jonetsu said dreamily as another visage of his true appearance grew a snake like smirk.
'Lets see how things will be when you come back now idiot.' Jonetsu hissed.
"So what's your answer?" Jonetsu asked.
"M-Michael I don't know what to say I m-must t-think about t-this!" Ikaruga jumped out of the Michael Imitator and uses a smoke bomb to make a hasty retreat.
"Hehe this looks like it'll be a piece of cake." Jonetsu wiped his nose, "I wonder if the jackass is already begging for mercy from my former comrades?"
With Jonetsu (Michael)
Inside the cave to which is the hideout to Homura's Crimson Squad, Michael was viewing the amazing room inside from the outside the cave seemed small but inside it feels as though you can travel down and there is another spacing. The main spacing was filled with many different types of furnishings with strangely a kitchen too.
'Wait how were they able to install a fridge in a cave?' Michael thought as he continued to follow Homura. The girl looked over her shoulder in annoyance and growled at him.
"Why are you following me!?" Homura hissed and snapped back at Michael.
"Uh I thought you were leading me to Yomi?" Michael gulped.
"Why should I you already know where she'll be and besides don't use following me as an excuse to get out of your work!" Homura growled.
"R-right sorry." Michael sighed and scratched the back of his head.
"Wait what?" Homura asked aghast at hearing -Jonetsu- say the word sorry.
"I said sorry well I better go look for her." Michael smiled and ran in a random direction. Homura simply stayed on the subject of the word Jonetsu just said until she catches sight of the teen running in the wrong direction.
"Your going the wrong way idiot." Homura spoke up.
"Huh?" Michael stops.
"She's through there." Homura points to another cave path.
"Great thanks." Michael ran down the path as Homura simply stares at him, "What the hell is wrong with him he's never this excited to do anything but eat and fight?" As Homura continues to think about Jonetsu's weird change of attitude, -Jonetsu- continues his chores list.
"Okay Mochi lets get this done!" Michael smiled as Mochi nods to his master as they see a bright light ahead, "Great now lets get this started." Entering the opening Michael's smile remains as he sees a naked girl in the a in cave hot springs. She has long elegant blonde hair with a lip in it and green eyes the only current thing she had around her body was a towel. This by the way is Yomi a former second year student of Hebijo academy. The girl simply stared at -Jonetsu- as he stares back with a red face unable to comprehend what to do...
"God dammit." Michael freezes in place.
"J-Jonetsu-kun?" the girl gasps.
"Oh no I'm sorry I didn't mean to peek in at y-!" Michael tried to explain himself until footsteps were heard rushing towards him.
'Oh no here it comes.' Michael sighed and awaited for the incoming slap but he didn't feel that in fact he couldn't feel the ground under him. Opening his eyes he saw the girl was in fact hugging him and was able to push him into the ground at that too.
"Your back!" the girl giggled.
"Um yeah I am back and please put on something over yourself?" Michael covered his eyes.
"Huh but why?" Yomi asked.
'Did she just ask why?' Michael gasped.
"Anyways I'm so glad you've returned to us, Did you and Homura-san make up?" Yomi began.
"Um well I guess?" Michael looked to the side with a nervous frown then picks himself up to see the list of things to do, "Oh right I came to help you abo-, okay please put some clothes on because I can't concentrate."
"Huh really but your used to seeing me like this?" Yomi blinked.
"Wait what?" Michael asked in semi shocked tone he had to or it might seem suspicious to his fake identity.
"Yeah whenever all of us bathe we do it together so there's nothing strange when I catch one of the others changing." Yomi smiled, "Even you."
"Uh yeah sorry I've just forgotten." Michael laughed nervously.
'Seriously if he can bathe with females like her than why complain?' Michael sweatdropped but then remembered being able to bathe with Asuka-san when he was little, well he was always passing out due to all of the nosebleeds he received so all he remembered was completely red. Then the sudden shock came to him 1. Jonetsu is disguised as him 2. He would be around Asuka the whole day 3. He has no qualms with bathing with girls. This could all be put together for a terrible equation.
"Jonetsu-kun?" Yomi questioned as -Jonetsu- fell on all fours and began to cry.
"Its not fair..." Michael cried.
"What isn't?" Yomi asked.
'What am I doing?' Michael picked himself up then looked over at Yomi with a smile, 'I shouldn't let thoughts like that cloud my mind I have to deal with my work too, I won't lose to that guy and besides this girls seems nice and almost polite like Ikaruga-san.'
"Nothing now allow me to help you with your bean sprouts!" Michael stood up determined.
"Really your going to help?" Yomi gasped in surprise.
"Of course now lets go." Michael grinned.
"Okay!" Yomi jumped up causing her towel to fall to her legs.
"Ngh!" Michael closed his eyes ad looked away with a red face, "I'll meet you outside the cave please get decent!"
"Okay but why are you holding a kunai?" Yomi asked as -Jonetsu- left through the cave's entrance.
"Don't worry I just need to repent." Michael said with tears streaming down his face.
"Repent?" Yomi tilts her head confused.
40 Minutes of Michael stabbing his hand later.
After getting everything in order the pair leave for town closest to the mountains, since they couldn't leave for the city since it was almost too far away from them. While leaving Michael saw that Yomi's appearance was a green, red striped Physical Ed Uniform with white running shoes. It seemed weird how she dressed but he didn't ask due to him not wanting to see if she'll change right in front of him. What concerned Yomi was the bandaged hand -Jonetsu- had on. But the disguised man told her it was just a little incident but Yomi wasn't believing it for a second but decided to let it go since it was just -Jonetsu-.
Finally making it into town Michael breathes in the fresh air of the normal town as Yomi continues to rant on about Bean Sprouts the trip to the Grocery Market.
"So what do you think the prices for vegetables are today?" Yomi asked.
"Well I don't think they're too expensive." Michael shrugged.
"But its price went up one more than before." Yomi said.
"Huh so its just one more yen then before so it doesn't matter?" Michael said.
"One more doesn't matter..." Yomi's eyes were darkened by her hair.
"Huh?" Michael looks back to see Yomi, "Is something wrong Yomi-san?"
"One more yen does matter!" Yomi grabbed -Jonetsu by the neck.
"Ack!" Michael gagged, "Regret! Regret!"
"Just because the rich get more pricy foods doesn't mean the prices for us should be raised." Yomi shouted in an unladylike manner.
"B-but its just by one." Michael coughed as Yomi's grip grew tighter.
"So it doesn't have to be raised at all the prices should always stay the same for those who don't have that much!" Yomi growled.
"Y-Yomi-san relax!" Michael removed Yomi's hand away from his neck his grip was hardening to break the girl's wrist.
"Huh? Oh sorry." Yomi returned to her sweet attitude, "Now lets return to shopping." As she passes Michael the teens was able to feel something terrible from her out of her outburst.
'She had a fierce killing intent when she chocked me, I guess she really was an Evil Ninja.' Michael rubbed his neck as his eyes turned lusterless if she wouldn't have relented then he would have actually subdued her.
"Jonetsu-kun lets go!" Yomi called over the man.
"Right I'll be there." Michael said then thought, 'I should be more careful around these girls or I might accidentally mistake them as enemies.' Michael returned his eyes to normal.
Michael resumed his task with Yomi as they went to the Vegetable Stall. Michael couldn't help but see the seriousness Yomi shown when seeing the prices on the food shown some of which was out of her price range. Seeing this Michael simply paid for the needed necessities the girl wanted buying half the stall of its things. Yomi who was surprised to see that -Jonetsu- had tons of money simply wondered why he had never been so considerate to do that.
Walking back to the cave Michael carried 5 bags of food in one hand over his shoulder as Yomi carries about 10 in both hands in front of herself.
"Yomi-san you've been silent is something wrong?" Michael asked.
"Jonetsu-kun I want to know are you sick?" Yomi asked.
"Sick?" Michael asked then Yomi puts her hand onto his forehead.
"No you seem fine to me." Yomi sighed, "But this is strange though..."
"What do you mean?" Michael asked curious to Yomi's worry towards him or Jonetsu in fact.
"You've been acting so helpful and cheerful through the whole chore and you've were able to pay this time so I thought you were sick." Yomi shook her head.
'Does Jonetsu do anything but laze around that much that he has to leave that impression.' Michael sweatdropped.
"But that kind of worries me that you were able to improve without us there with you." Yomi frowned with a sad smile, "I guess its like what happened to you back then at that orphanage you lived at."
"Huh?" Michael gasped, 'Wait Jonetsu was an orphan so that must explain him being an evil ninja.'
"You seemed annoyed by us whenever we would disturb you, but you always had a kind side to us when we needed it so I wondered if we were holding you back." Yomi sighed.
'Man I know I shouldn't but...' Michael bit his lip.
"Well actually I didn't get better because I was away from you guys," Michael began causing Yomi to look at him, "I got better because I wanted to come back to you all."
"Really?" Yomi asked.
"Yeah, I can't do anything alone so I need you all there with me so we can move forward. And I need you Yomi-chan." Michael gave Yomi his -own- signature Good Guy Smile. To which was able to gain a blush from the girl.
"U-um right I'm glad to hear that now let us be off." Yomi ran ahead leaving -Jonetsu- behind.
"W-wait come back why are you moving so fast!" Michael yelled chasing after the girl.
'Jonetsu-kun you've also gotten mature too.' Yomi gave a light smile as she continued running away from the teen.
20 Minutes Later
"Done." Michael grinned as he was in front of Homura who stood in front of the disguised man. He had made it back to the cave with Yomi the two were quickly dispersed as Yomi kept avoiding eye contact with him for some strange reason.
"Oh are you now?" Homura sneered.
"Yeah now what should I do next?" Michael asked.
"Idiot you have the list take read it yourself." Homura spat and walked away.
"Fine, Fine." Michael read the list and saw the words be Haruka's Lab Rat, "Huh I wonder what that means?"
Suddenly from the darkness of the cave gleamed a red sensor as it locks onto its target ready to snatch it in 3...2...1...
"Say Mochi what do you want to eat lat-Aaaaah!" Michael was suddenly kidnapped by a mechanical claw as Mochi fell from the teens messy hair and onto the hard cave ground.
"Help me!" Michael cried as his finger nails dug into the ground until he was pulled into the darkness.
Mochi picks himself up and prepares to rescue his master until her heard the sounds of footsteps coming towards him. He turns around to see a small girl towering over him.
"Huh what the hell is this?" the girl questioned.
With Michael (Jonetsu)
In the classroom Jonetsu was sleeping in Michael's desk with no respect towards his belongings literally keeping his feet on top of his desk with many other things. Jonetsu was able to shirk the paperwork due to him lying to Kiriya many times. He just didn't like he guy due to him being all high and mighty since he's the sensei of this ninja department.
Everything else went okay until a pair of hands suddenly reach for his pants starting to unzip them. This was of course Katsuragi who wore nothing but her bra and panties trying again to break -Michael's- sexual defenses.
"This time I got him for sure." Katsuragi grinned.
"Hmmm?" Jonetsu stirred around.
"So cute he must be dreaming but not for long for once I finish with this then I can finally get t-" Katsuragi was then interrupted by a pair of hands grabbing onto her face as they picked her up and put her face to face with -Michael's-.
"Huh? Michael-kun?" Katsuragi blushed.
"I want you Katsuragi-san..." Jonetsu played it off as a lust crazed Michael, "I've been holding it in for all this time and I can't take it anymore."
"What?" Katsuragi gasped.
"Please just leave it all to me." Jonetsu reaches for Katsuragi's breast.
'That guy said this one's a pervert and likes groping the others but if you show actual lust they tend to shy away now lets see if that wor-!' Jonetsu was interrupted by the girl who slaps his hand away while giggling.
"Oooooh! Michael you sly dog!" Katsuragi grinned then puts a finger to his chest, "I want you too but not in a place like this so please wait a while longer."
'Wait she's going along with this?' Jonetsu gulped as Katsuragi runs away excitedly.
"Oh yeah the things I'm gonna do to as he does so many things to me!" Katsuragi chuckled giddily.
"I think I made a mistake..." Jonetsu sweatdropped, "But its his problem not mine, its better than what Haruka does to m-ack!" Jonetsu then felt a chill up his spine, "I don't know why I keep remembering this I'm on my own now so don't bring up memories that will only lessen my will to live."
"Um...Michael-senpai?" the voice of Hibari pops out.
"Huh?" Jonetsu looks to the right to see Hibari walking towards him, 'This one is named Hibari right?'
"Senpai Hibari wants to ask you something." Hibari asked.
"Of course Hibami." Jonetsu smiled.
"Uh senpai you said Hibari's name wrong." Hibari's eyes shrunk into white pricks as Jonetsu sweatdropped.
"I mean Hibari sorry my tongue slipped." Jonetsu sighed.
"Its fine its just that Hibari is wondering if you can help train her." Hibari asked.
"Why isn't your sensei doing it?" Jonetsu said in a disrespectful tone and language.
"Kiriya-sense is its just that Hibari is too weak that she needs more training than the others," This gained Jonetsu full attention as Hibari continued, "I don't want to be a burden and I don't want to get in the way so I-." Jonetsu puts a hand onto Hibari's shoulder and looks up at her with eyes fierce that can burn the sun itself.
"Your weak and you lack is confidence in your ability, don't ask me to help you just because your afraid of silly things such as friendship, sometimes you have to stand up and be strong without letting those emotions hold you back!" Jonetsu said angrily. He had remembered being in a situation like that when he was little but he destroyed petty thoughts of friendship and empathy towards others to gain the power to protect himself! But even by thinking of that he still felt he was 50% right and 50% wrong.
"B-but I can't." Hibari sniffed.
"Yes you can your limiting your potential by saying you can't while you can do it, trust me I believe you can achieve such power." Jonetsu said then stopped to hear himself, 'What the crap why did I say something like that it seems like that.' Jonetsu then covered his mouth as an attempt to stop his sudden change of character.
"Michael-senpai are you okay?" Hibari trembled frightened by -Michael's- sudden outburst. -Michael- simply nods to the question as Hibari looks down frowning, "I'm sorry I made you get mad at me for my weakness."
'Damn...' Jonetsu gave up his act of trying to stay tough and said, "Hibari your not weak its your mind holding you back, your actually strong (I wonder if she is, never actually saw her fight before but back to the point) I want you to stop putting yourself down and get stronger okay because one day I want you to fight by my side."
"R-really?" Hibari looks up at -Michael's- eyes.
"Of course." Jonetsu nodded.
"R-right!" Hibari nods.
"Hibari what are you doing?" Yagyuu appeared behind the pair gaining a startle from -Michael- and an excited gasp from Hibari.
"Yagyuu-chan!" Hibari rushes to the girl as Jonetsu holds his chest in pain.
'That girl sure knows how to startle a guy.' Jonetsu sighed.
"Michael-senpai and Hibari were talking." Hibari smiled as Yagyuu looks over Hibari's shoulder to see the smirking -Michael-.
"Who are you?" Yagyuu glared at -Michael-.
"Huh?" Hibari stares between the two as Hibari was pushed back.
"No one special just me, -Michael-kun-." Jonetsu gave a sly smile and opened his hands.
"Stop playing explain." Yagyuu took a step forward.
'Oh crap I knew this girl was good but not this good.' Jonetsu gulped.
"Tell me because I will ask this final time who ar-" Yagyuu pulled out the concealed blade hidden in her umbrella until the alarm for training rang out.
"Yagyuu-chan we have to go!" Hibari pulled Yagyuu away as the girl still kept her fierce glare at -Michael-.
"Your not him..." Yagyuu said to herself as she gave into her pink-haired friends pull as the pair entered the changing room.
"Okay that was close but I'm glad that didn't bite me in the ass, I can safely say I'm in the clear." Jonetsu picked at his ear.
With Jonetsu (Michael)
"Now shall we begin?" rang out through the darkness of the cave.
Suddenly all of the lights turned on abruptly revealing a lab filled with many computers and chemicals. Many robotic parts made constant changes and results to active experiments. In the middle of the cave was -Jonetsu- strapped to a Lab Table unable to move due to the bindings but he knew he could break free he just needs to know why he's strapped like this.
"Urgh where am I?" Michael groggily awakens from his unconsciousness.
"So you've awaken huh Jonetsu-chan?" the voice was heard to his side.
"Who said that reveal yourself!" Michael yelled.
Suddenly the lights turn on to reveal an 18 year old girl with brown hair that is curled at the ends with a large pink bow on top, green eyes while wearing a long sleeved yellow sweater revealing her shoulders, a pink skirt, black leggings and black dress shoes. This girl is Haruka former 3rd year of the Hebijo Academy.
'So this is Haruka huh well all I have to say is...' Michael began.
"Why am I tied up like this?" Michael smiled.
"Oh my little boy..." Haruka chuckled and shook her head, "Is that any way to talk to your lover whose about to punish you?"
"Punish?" Michael gulped.
"Of course after making all of us suffer just because you wouldn't help out." Haruka licked her lips, "Now I'm going to force you to hate your existence then turn you into my own personal doll."
'Seriously what does this guy even do to even cause all this to happen!?' Michael sighed, 'And if she loves the guy then why does she want him to be his puppet and another thought why am I thinking too much?"
"Now lets begin shall we." Haruka pulls out a remote.
"What's that for?" Michael asked.
"Oh this." Haruka pressed the remote's button as two rods shot out from the side of the lab table's sides.
"What are those for?" Michael sighed knowing how this punishment will go.
"You'll see." Haruka smiled then walked up closer to -Jonetsu- to pat his cheek, "What a shame if you would've listened and do your work then I wouldn't have to carve you into my next puppet, Although you would be more helpful and you would accept my feelings."
"A puppet?" Michael asked then gasped, 'Wait is this the creepy girl he warned me about? He said that she loved dolls not make people into dolls!'
"Now do you want to see something cool?" Haruka smiled as Michael shook his head. She simply smirked at the response and stepped back as a machine with lightning surrounding the nozzle points down at Michael.
"Oh crap..." Michael gasped as the machine then fired down bolts of the electrical waves at the rods which were sent into Michael's body.
"Now how is this treatment Jonetsu-chan." Haruka looks at -Jonetsu- and saw that his eyes were completely lusterless as he keeps a straight face. -Jonetsu- looks at Haruka with the emotionless face.
"It hurts." Michael said calmly.
"Those eyes they look-" Haruka remembers the eyes her puppets share and these ones look even emptier than theirs. She couldn't help but stare at them as they stare back at her. As the volts of lightning still fry into Michael's body the teen still was feeling pain even through his normal reaction.
"Hey..." Michael caught Haruka's attention, "Wanna see something cool." Michael then pulls his arms and legs free from the strappings and pushed both hands out and the two rods using a force of strength to push them away and crash them into the cave wall.
"And done." Michael rolled his arm, "Man that still hurts."
"What happened to your eyes?" Haruka fell to her knees.
"Huh?" Michael then realized what he did then gasped, "Oh right..."
'I guess I did show her -that- but I think it was too traumatizing for her.' Michael sighed.
"Its like you were empty." Haruka said with a frightened tone, I haven't felt emptiness like that ever since I was child when..." Haruka remembers back to the day she was only a child but her father was a corrupt man and her mother was a sick woman who only saw her own daughter as a doll, "Did we do this by pushing you away?"
'Do they really regret doing that to him I mean he's Jonetsu...' Michael looks towards the Lab exit then back at Haruka, 'Why must humans have consciences?'
"Look you didn't do anything to me." Michael used Jonetsu's rough voice tone which earned Haruka's attention, "I feel this way because of me and me alone, if I was stronger than I wouldn't make you all suffer so don't blame yourself just blame me god dammit."
"But..." Haruka started.
"But nothing so why don't you shut up and go back to being the sadist bitch I loved!" Michael growled but then messed up with the last word he meant to say know not love but eh its the real Jonetsu's problem now.
"Loved?" Haruka asked with a light flush on her cheeks.
"Nothing just shut up and remember never to mess with me again." Michael spat and left the lab into the tunnels. He secretly smiled he guess being Jonetsu might have its perks to saying stuff meaningful in his own kind of way at least. Haruka continued to look down the tunnels and simply smiled.
"Maybe letting you leave has caused you to mature." Haruka giggled, "Into a man I know I can trust without using me for their own desires, I still wish I can turn you into my own personal puppet but I suppose I'm good with you having a free will, my lover."
'She is one crazy woman.' Michael sweatdropped and kept walking hoping that she would stop looking at him.
10 Minutes Later
"Okay now next up is helping Hikage with her knives P.S. remember not to point them at her." Michael read the list but then questioned it, "Wait what does that mean?"
Walking through the tunnel into the next cave opening Michael comes into a weapon covered cave filled up to the brim with many weapons the eye can see.
"Whoa." Michael said as he looks around to see no one was present, "I wonder if she left."
Michael's train of thought wondered where the female was until a sharp piece of metal was slid under his neck. This gained Michael's attention as he stood still unable to move at all. He looks back to see a amber snake like eyes staring at him.
"Explain your reason here." the voice of a nonchalant girl said to Michael, "Or I'll make your head acquaintances with the floor as your neck will have to stay behind."
'A strong killing intent huh I should probably explain myself.' Michael thought knowing how evil ninja work if you don't answer truthfully or right away you get an early grave without noticing.
"I'm here to help you with your knives." Michael stated.
"Hmph! Help?" the metal object was relinquished from Michael's neck.
"Yes." Michael nods and turns back to the girl.
Viewing her appearance she had medium length green hair and amber eyes in a furtive or feral glance. She wore a red long sleeved sweater which was covering her black jean shorts, black leggings, and brown boots. This is Hikage a former 3rd year of Hebijo Academy.
"That is strange..." Hikage said.
"Huh?" Michael asked.
"Nothing just do what you must but never point them at me." Hikage warned, "Or I might get a little too excited."
"Right." Michael nodded and went to search for the knives.
After 3 minutes of searching he was able to find the specified knives and began sharpening them. Although he couldn't help but feel like Hikage was staring at him intently. He then continues to use the stones given to him to sharpen the knives but he was unable to shake off the feeling something bad will happen.
Then suddenly the creepy presence was gone freeing him from the awkward silence and going back to work. But to be safe he turns around to see if Hikage was still at her spot observing him, though she wasn't there.
'Huh? I wonder where she we- Holy Crap!" Michael turns back to be face to face with Hikage who was intently staring at him with those blood freezing eyes, 'When did she get here and how long has she been there?'
Hikage stares intently into -Jonetsu's- eyes scanning the teen intently.
"What?" Michael asked.
"You've been marked by someone else." Hikage sighed then stared intently at -Jonetsu's- right cheek, "It seems someone else wasn't able to see dominance over you." Hikage picks up one of her knives and walks over to -Jonetsu- while licking the blade.
"Marked?" Michael repeated, 'The only person I've heard that word from was...*gulp!*' Michael then imagined the image of a black cat in his mind then shook it off, 'Wait females can tell stuff like that no I think it must be something else, but how is this Hikage girl able to see -she- marked me already.'
"I guess you'll have to stay still while I make sure to mark you as mine permanently." Hikage thrusts her knife at -Jonetsu-.
"Geh!" Michael catches the knife with both hands before it made contact with his face.
"What are you doing?" Hikage asked, "If you don't stop I might kill you."
"Then what are you going to doing with that knife exactly?" Michael begins to twist the knife's blade.
"Well it is blade so I intend to cut you is all." Hikage said with a snake like smirk.
"Thats the same thing!" Michael spins his and Hikage's body with the knife's blade into the cave's walls crashing into the cave wall creating a mess of rubble. Jumping out of said rubble to two return to their power struggle.
"Your so persistent as always but the fierce flame in your eyes have changed somehow." Hikage examines -Jonetsu's- style, "If I were to say it seems like your another person."
'She's very observant but I won't be given away that easily.' Michael coughed.
"Why don't you shut up and give me a break, snake bitch!" Michael said in imitation of Jonetsu's regular language.
"Ah...there we go that's the Jonetsu I've always wanted to kill welcome back." Hikage smirked as the knife began to come closer and closer to -Jonetsu's- face.
'Wait kill but I thought mark meant to claim as a lover well I guess that's how -she- described it at least.' Michael sweatdropped remembering a certain upperclassmen of his.
"That look you give me whenever we clash always makes my heart beat faster in excitement and it can't go away!" Hikage kicks -Jonetsu- back and swings her knife at him.
"Hmph!" Michael pulls out a kunai and counteracts Hikage's blow.
"A warrior can't have emotions that's why I want to eliminate you to remain in my current state as a warrior who feels nothing but the urge to destroy." Hikage lunges at -Jonetsu-. Michael simply gasps at that comment and couldn't believe in those words.
'That sounds like how I used to be.' Michael thought as the knife grew closer and closer to his face. He quickly slaps the blade out of Hikage's hands and points his kunai to her face.
"You really want to kill me?" Michael asked.
"Well I did try and savagely impale you so yes." Hikage said nonchalantly.
'if she wants him dead then why don't I feel a terrifying killing intent here?' Michael thought, "Maybe she's bluffing so I'm gonna stake my life here then if I don't it'll look suspicious.'
"Wait I have another solution for you to become a warrior." Michael smirked then points the kunai knife to his neck, "I'll cut my own throat out and end it what do you say?"
"Hmmm?" Hikage didn't sound the least moved by this comment.
"By killing myself I'm gonna set you free of your emotions that you hate." Michael puts the blade to his neck as Hikage continued to watch, "Sayonara."
'I guess I lose the bet after all, sorry for dying like this Asuka-san.' Michael begins to move the blade until a blindly fast movement knocked the knife from his hands and into the cave wall.
"What?" Michael gasped as he look back at Hikage who raises her hand and brings it down hard at the teens cheek.
*Slap!*
Michael held his cheek as Hikage kept a fierce glare towards him.
"Don't ever do that again." Hikage said angrily.
"But you said you want me dead." Michael asks.
"I did but I don't want you dead." Hikage sighed and walks past him.
'Okay now she's just being indecisive.' Michael shook his head.
"As much as I want you dead I can't help feel sad if you were to disappear and despair brings nothing more than the person's death so I want you to live so I can live." Hikage explained.
"Really?" Michael asked.
"Of course its better to feel positive emotions then the ones that drag you down the most." Hikage stopped herself and turn back to -Jonetsu-.
'I wonder if she feels this way when Jonetsu was forced to leave.' Michael frowned until he saw Hikage's glance.
"What?" Michael questioned until a sudden cut from Hikage was now formed releasing a moderate amount of blood trailing down his cheek, 'You got me?" Michael saw the knife in her hand.
"Now..." Hikage leans up closely and licks the wounded cheek clean, "You are marked as mine once again." Michael stood still remembering a simple scene when he was 12 except with least amounts of blood.
"Later..." Hikage walks off into the tunnels leaving behind a shocked Michael gripping his cheek.
'This is the second time someone has licked my cheek that affectionately and instead of last time I am strangely okay with having my blood licked like that.' Michael walked out of the weapon's room and into the main cave of the entire cavern, 'Oh God I think I'm developing issues.'
5 minutes
Entering the cave Michael still held his cheek as he said, "If I tell this to the girls at home they'll probably be pissed and burn my cheek until its cleansed then my entire body, but what -big sis'll- do will be worse so I just have to keep calm."
Michael then remembers one thing upon entering, he had forgotten his pet monkey, Mochi. He looks from left to right for the little devil this is starting to become a thing with the creature. Its like whenever the two aren't together he goes of and cause himself trouble or worst of all Michael trouble in the end. Suddenly the sounds of a keyboard clicking was noticed by the teen. The area was surrounded by many computers which linked to a couple of screens preferably 5 as a small girl went crazy on the key board not relenting her furious typing.
The Shinobi catches sight of a young girl rapidly typing on the keyboard with a small dancing monkey on the desk. And apparently she was recording him for her blog.
"Yes dance for me little monkey! Dance!" the girl cackled as Mochi begins to tire out.
"Okay so this must be Mirai then?" Michael sweatdropped at the girl's cruel orderings of Mochi. The girl had short black haired girl with red eyes as one was covered with a black eyepatch with a red tomoe over her left eye. The eye patch reminded him of Yagyuu's but hers is on her right eye instead. She wore a pink tank top with a blue dress and pink shoes.
'Wow these girls are both different and alike than the ones at Hanzo, its almost as if they were supposed to be like them but in a different fashion.' Michael then looks at the readers then returned to Mirai who is enslaving his monkey.
"Great I'm getting tons of likes on my video now all I need to do is..." Mirai was interrupted by -Jonetsu- who picks up the tired Mochi thus earning a growl from her, "Hey what's the big...oh its just you." Mirai spat at the sight of the man.
"Well nice to see you again, Mirai." Michael smiled.
"Why are you still here didn't Homura kick your ass out of here?" Mirai went back to typing.
"Uh..." Michael began.
"Oh wait let me see you've actually came back and groveled to her like the disgusting sac of man waste you are and have been deemed our slave for your entire miserable life." Mirai stood up from her seat and walked towards the teen and pulled him down to her level by the ear, "Now slave I want you to get me some tea and do a little dance when you come back while your at it, I am in a great mood today."
'This girl is starting to get on my nerves.' Michael sighed.
"Well actually I came back to help with you guys' needs is all." Michael said.
"Huh?" Mirai gasped and lets go of -Jonetsu's- ear.
"Sorry but I'm not your slave but an honest worker." Michael smiled.
"You honestly work hah!" Mirai laughed.
"What are you talking about?" Michael asked.
"You've never worked a day of your life!" Mirai stuck out her tongue, "Unless its for beating that good ninja you've always talked about." Mirai's tone sounded a bit jealous.
'Wait how did I get into this.' Michael sweatdropped.
"Look I don't need your help so why don't you just sit down and watch." Mirai growled and returned to her computer.
"Okay..." Michael trailed off and sat next to the girl, 'Wouldn't she like it if I was gone, since I can't really help with anything?'
"Hey whats with the monkey?" Mirai asked.
"Actually I found him on the way here and he is adorable." Michael chuckled and made up the story about him just finding Mochi.
"A-adorable?" Mirai gasped.
"Yeah see he's the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life." Michael grinned as Mochi rubbed the back of his head flattered as Mirai simply growls at this at shoots the teen a furious glare, "W-what?"
"Stupid Idiot!" Mirai screamed.
"Hey that hurts." Michael sniffs.
Sitting in silence for only a couple of seconds Mirai continues her computer activities as Michael just watches in boredom, he didn't really have a choice in the matter he had to diligently play the role of Jonetsu but he didn't know the guy well enough to truly act like him all he can do is speak with a loud tone and use rather rude words. As time passes on Mirai then stands up and stretch out her arms. Michael looks at the computer screen to see that it was turned off meaning Mirai was already finished.
"I guess I'm done if you don't need anything else." Michael chuckled nervously then stood up.
"No your not done yet!" Mirai hissed and pulled -Jonetsu- by the ear.
"Then what do you want?" Michael sighed looking away.
"Well..." Mirai trails off with a blush.
Mirai then tugs on -Jonetsu's- jacket and pulls him towards the training room where all 4 targets for her were ready to be used, Michael got the hint but was wondering why she couldn't have brought him here before.
"Hey what's this about?" Michael asked.
"Your going to help me with target practice." Mirai pulls out her European styled umbrella and points it to one of the targets.
"Okay but I don't think an umbrella can be a suitable wea-" Michael was interrupted when Mirai's umbrella fired a round of bullets at one of the targets.
"The hell!?" Michael gasped as the sight of the bullets piercing and or missing the target took his attention. Upon the weapon dying down Mirai stops her assault and puts her umbrella over her shoulder as she stares at the disappointing work she did. She barely had any shots in and only shot at the wall behind the targets.
"See now help me!" Mirai shouted almost desperate for -Jonetsu's- help.
'For someone her size to use that weapon of course I would be hard to aim, but if she focuses on the target then just firing her weapon then maybe...' Michael rubbed his chin while looking down.
"Hey grrrr! Don't Ignore me!" Mirai screamed.
'But how can I teach her how to use a gun I rarely use one because I stick to traditional shinobi weapons, wait traditional that's it.' Michael rubbed his chin again.
"Didn't you listen I said don't ign-!" Mirai was interrupted by -Jonetsu- grabbing her by the shoulders and bring her closer to him. This of course caused the girl to yelp in embarrassment.
"I got it!" Michael smiled then walks over to a few cases of ninja tools as he scavenged through the tools Mirai watched in sheer surprise that was the first time she had saw Jonetsu excited in her life. Turning back Michael held a set of shuriken to use at the targets, "Okay lets begin."
Mirai looks at the teen dumbfounded and said, "I said I needed help with my aim how will this do anything for me?" Mirai yelled.
"It will just watch." Michael smiled and turns to the target, "All you need is to focus and..." Michael throws the kunai into the bulls eye, "There."
"Huh?" Mirai gasped.
"Now try and focus on the target!" Michael said in a teacher like fashion and points at the target.
"R-right." Mirai nods already accepting the teen's sudden burst of passion. Mirai concentrates and fires a round of bullets at the target only getting a few vital hits in while she mainly misses the main center target. Slumping down in defeat Mirai cried, "I can't do it."
"Don't say that you can." Michael smiled.
"But you just saw me fail first handedly I can't do it at all." Mirai sniffed.
"So if your gonna quit then quit but I won't just keep trying till you get it." Michael pats Mirai on the head, "Just remember this believe into me who believes into you who believes she can make a perfect shot." Mirai slowly looks up to Jonetsu and saw the male give the girl an honest smile. Mirai's face suddenly turned red from that expression that she almost fainted but she couldn't just yet.
"I'll show you that I can make a perfect shot that you'll want to stab out your eyes to never see another spectacle other than mine again." Mirai smiled and picked herself up.
"Right! Wait what about stabbing my eyes out...?" Michael smiled then showed concern towards the comment.
"Now here I go!" Mirai focuses on the shot as she breathes in and breathe out, "Steady...steady..."
'I can actually care less about the unnecessary comments.' Michael thought as Mochi poked out of his jacket.
'Hey I get my own thoughts too, that's freaking awesome world get ready because I'm going to be hea-!" Mochi smiled until...
*BANG!*
Looking at the shot Mirai gave a big gasp at the sight it was the target the sight made her gasp in surprise, it seems the target's center was, was, was... left unharmed at all she had just hit the ground in front of it.
"Waaaah!" Mirai cried and fell to her feet.
'How did she miss that?' Michael walked over to the girl and pats her head.
"There, there its okay we all have mistakes so pick yourself up." Michael grinned.
"I know but I'm a pitiful excuse for a ninja if I can't get a single target." Mirai sniffed, "And you once said you only show your attention to those who are strong and skilled so I just wanted to impress you but that just ended up a failure."
"Hey relax." Michael patted Mirai's back, "I don't care about anything like that all I care about is seeing you gradually improve okay?"
"Okay." Mirai blushed.
"Well then I'm off I guess you can handle things from here." Michael rolled his shoulder.
"But I can't do it alone." Mirai said.
"Hey don't put yourself down or others will find it as a weak point to their advantage, and besides you don't need me around to help you I can barely handle a gun while you can that's really impressive for someone of your age." Michael rasied his hand and walks off, "Keep getting better!"
"Idiot..." Mirai looks at her gun equipped umbrella and has a pink hue in her cheeks, "But even though your a stupid moron I'll repay you back for saving me Jonetsu-senpai.
Night
Reporting back to Homura about his completed list Michael couldn't help but feel accomplished about this. But Homura wasn't budging on -Jonetsu's- change even for a second. She kept up her tough exterior towards the teen, maybe she just doesn't like the guy in general if she is acting this way. Homura pondered over a long time until she finally came up with an idea and she knew the asshole wouldn't agree to it.
"You may have gotten it good with the others but you still haven't moved me at all with your actions so you'll have to do something for me!" Homura smirked.
"Okay what is it?" Michael asked.
"Heh we're going for a walk around the forest what do you think of that!?" Homura grinned remembering Jonetsu's hate for doing anything with movement except when he wants to and another thing he hated most of all was being ordered around by her. She could already see it now Jonetsu's façade will break in any second.
"Sure." Michael shrugged.
"Hah! See I knew you were- wait did you say sure?" Homura gasped.
"Of course why not." Michael said nonchalantly.
"You do know that I'm telling not saying that you have to walk around with me in the forest at night." Homura explained.
"Yeah." Michael nodded.
"Let me rephrase that walking around at night with me."Homura puts the extra emphasis on me as she closes in on -Jonetsu's- face.
"Yeah I heard you the first time." Michael said.
"Oh well..." Homura trails off, "Lets go."
"Right." Michael smiled and followed after the girl into the dark forest of the mountain.
Midnight
The pair have been walking around the forest for about 3 hours with no breaks or rests as Michael followed Homura who mostly walked in front of him the whole hike. Feeling a bad vibe from this Michael tried to walk beside Homura but seeing him try got Homura to speed up and stay ahead. All Michael could wonder was why these girls despise Jonetsu so much.
"Oi how have the others been while I was away?" Michael asked.
"You actually cared I thought you only thought of yourself." Homura glared back at -Jonetsu-.
"Well I..." Michael trailed off, he couldn't speak for Jonetsu like this its the way he feels up till now he wanted to give the Hebijo girls a positive outlook but it seems that it might be difficult to try with Homura.
"Hmph!" Homura sighed, "We've been fine thanks for asking anyways."
"Oh your welcome." Michael then picked up speed and walked besides Homura hoping to ask her about something personal that may even make the real Jonetsu pissed, "Say I've been meaning to ask have any of you girls talked about me since you kicked me out." This seemed to have gotten onto Homura's nerve since a red flush appeared on her cheeks.
"W-what the hell!" Homura then pulls out a katana and swings it at -Jonetsu- missing due to the male already dodging.
"Hey! What was that for?" Michael growled.
"Why don't you shut up faker!" Homura then summons her other 5 katana and kept them in 3's between her fingers.
"Well that's new." Michael said to himself.
"Hrah!" Homura charges at -Jonetsu- and furiously wings her katanas at the male.
"Why are you so mad I just asked a simple question!" Michael easily dodges the attacks due to them being controlled by pure anger.
"Just shut the hell up!" Homura does a kick against Michael's gut, "Your such a liar to try and manipulate my feelings like that!"
"Ngh!" Michael winced actually feeling pain, 'What strength.'
Leaping back Michael still kept back stepping away from Homura's assault, if he were to run then he would lose the be- no he just can't run he has to find out the plot to her rage.
"Look I just wanted to know if you guys were okay is all!" Michael yelled.
"Don't give me that crap if you really cared then you wouldn't have been acting so antisocial to us all the time and be less selfish and think about the others." Homura hissed.
"I'm sorry!" Michael yelled out.
"It's too late for sorry!" Homura yelled as she intends to decapitate her old friend.
'Now what?' Michael gulped as he stared into Homura's rage filled eyes.
'You betrayed my trust, my feelings and everything and now you have the gall to come back and say sorry just like that how come you had to change into something so horrible Jonetsu, you LIAR!' Homura roared as she continued her frenzied attacks. But as she attacked she couldn't help but feel reminiscent about back in the day of when the two first met.
Flashback
Near the entrance of the Hebijo Girl Academy was a 15 year old Homura who had just enrolled, after being disowned by her parents and admitted by her new sensei, Suzune she had a new place to train and call a home. But she knew the sin she committed wouldn't overwrite the future. All she needed right now was to grow stronger and stronger to fight those who get in her way. And speaking of getting in her way a few Hebijo students begin to surround the new student with many weapons to injure the girl.
"You all want to take me on, good because I've been in the need for a workout." Homura summons her six katana and prepares herself for the fight. Though this fight wasn't easily to be seen a figure on the 3rd floor windowsill of the academy watched intently along with a 2nd year Haruka.
"See this is the new girl I was talking about, she pretty nice don't you think?" Haruka smiled at her fellow 2nd year student Jonetsu who wore the Hebijo uniform which consists of a black and red uniform, pants and red sports shoes.
"Hmph so you've interrupted my nap for this what a joke." Jonetsu spat until he actually paid attention towards the fight that he grew interested in the girl known as Homura, she was literally hacking the female shinobi down one by one all by herself. Haruka took note of this and smiled at Jonetsu's sudden smirk.
"So is she a joke now?" Haruka giggled.
"Not a big joke but a joke." Jonetsu jumped off the windowsill seeing the girl was already done with her opponents who laid on the ground either unconscious or potentially dead.
"Who the hell are you?" Homura glared at Jonetsu.
"Fight me." Jonetsu smirked as he summons his Ōdachi into his hands.
"Tell me who you are then?" Homura arched an eyebrow, sure she was aching for a good fight but she at least needs to know the name of the person she's fight.
"Jonetsu Hanamura, now-!" Jonetsu lunges at Homura and clashes his blade with all all six of hers, his strength was double the time of hers as the blades were pushed back after Homura.
"What?" Homura gasped as her katanas' blades start to crack.
"Is that all?" Jonetsu licked his lips as his red eyes gave off an intimidating glow, "Pathetic." Jonetsu uses all of the force in his blade to swing Homura back into the Academy's Walls. The girl slowly slid off the wall and began to pant in exhaustion compared to the shinobi fodder she just fought this guy was on another level.
'He's strong and he even destroyed my weapons.' Homura looks at her destroyed blades then dropped them then smirks, 'This guy is really strong, I'm getting so excited that I might even try to kill this guy just for the heck of it!"
"What now aren't you gonna summon more katana or am I going to end this swiftly." Jonetsu moves his finger along the Ōdachi's curved blade.
"Heh don't be so sure." Homura picks herself up and walks over to the man
"Huh?" Jonetsu tilts his head.
"Because I have one special weapon left!" Homura summons a long Nodachi for the fight then goes all out by transforming past her ninja transformation and straight to an All Out State which consisted of her wearing a black swimsuit , "I haven't used this one in a while so I hope your worth using it on!" Homura then charges at Jonetsu while giving out a loud war cry.
"Interesting." Jonetsu then parries the incoming strikes of Homura's sword as he continues to stare at the girl with sheer killing intent as Homura does the same.
'I have him on the ropes now.' Homura panted as the attacks still look like they were being guarded rather easily.
'My what should I train on today maybe meditation? no, lift weights? nah did that yesterday maybe I should just do some old fashioned running I do need the speed after all and maybe I can ask Haruka if we're gonna bathe together again since its really hard to wash into my ba-!" Jonetsu thought up many random subjects distracting him from the easy and gullible attacks but was snapped back by Homura's blade grazing his cheek.
'I finally got him.' Homura chuckled until she saw Jonetsu touch the bleeding cut and look at it with a smile as his hair covered his eyes.
"Hehehe wow you even got me while I lost my train of thought impressive!" Jonetsu laughed maniacally as a dark red aura picks up around him as the image of a Mamushi Snake appears behind him. Homura stood in place in fear as she saw Jonetsu's appearance changing his uniform was dematerializing as he just wore black swimming trunks with a red snake design. But the difference in his physical appearance was his hair was now pointed straight up in the color of red (Like a Super Saiyain's) and his eyes were now purple gleaming with the blood lust he hid inside himself.
"Since your serious then I should be too." Jonetsu smirked, "I hope your ready because I intend to kill you in this last blow." Jonetsu then charges at Homura and swings his blade ready to deal the finishing blow."
From above in the academy Haruka propped her head up with one arm and said, "Jonetsu-kun's Secret Ninja Art: Bleeding Fang. Whenever he is to the point of excitement or near death this extra boost of energy always comes to his aid." Haruka sighed, "I just wish I was able to make him into my puppet so I can attain it but due to my hearts yearning towards him."
"What power, I know I can't win but I won't give in to you!" Homura yelled as she to charges at her opponent.
"Very well!" Jonetsu smirked as the two swing their blades at each other and pass one another. A silence which would determine the fight picked up but the one showing movement was Jonetsu who stood up tall and swiped his blood stained Ōdachi to the ground spilling the blood upon it. Homura's own condition turned to be the worse a large gash across her chest which sprayed out tons of blood as he Nodachi shatters.
"D-damn it." Homura grunts as she falls face first into the ground.
Jonetsu looks at the girl's fallen body and walks over to her and raises his blade about to thrust it through her heart thus ending her life. He would end it quickly to end the pain but then he stopped himself and said, "Maybe this one can live for now at least."
"So you've taken an interest in her huh?" Haruka walks over to Jonetsu.
"I see you've decided to get off your ass and come to the stage." Jonetsu reverts back to normal.
"Of course lovers should always be together don't you agree?" Haruka smiled slyly.
"Look I'm not your lover so stop saying that because rumors about you and me are going around the school!" Jonetsu growled.
"Why should I stop it is true after all." Haruka giggled.
"I know but they even started talking about us even...you know!" Jonetsu hid back a blush, "Even though we're just friends."
"Oh no don't worry no one else made it up." Haruka explained.
"Thank God." Jonetsu sighed.
"Because I told them." Haruka smirked and giggled.
"I begin to question why I even stay at your side if all you do is cause me trouble or use me as a lab rat almost everyday!" Jonetsu glared at his age mate.
"Because you can't resist me and that's how it'll be till we get married." Haruka smirks.
"M-marriage!?" Jonetsu gasps in annoyance as his face turned red.
"Don't be silly I'm not thinking of that...yet." Haruka hid her mouth behind her mouth and laughed.
"You do know one of these days I'm going to kill you right." Jonetsu said.
"Ugh what happened?" Homura groans in pain as she sits up, "Huh I'm alive?"
"Of course I use half my power." Jonetsu explained as he picked his ear.
"Grr! You!" Homura growled then looks at Haruka in surprise, "And Haruka you know this ass?"
"Of course he is my lover after all." Haruka teased.
"No we're not we just talked about this." Jonetsu groaned.
"This is your senior Jonetsu Hanamura a 2nd Year at the school and currently one of the academy's top students." Haruka smiled.
"How's it going?" Jonetsu spoke up.
"And you should be lucky your alive most of the students who die here die because of his brute force of fighting and rough orders." Haruka explained, "But I guess that's the reason I love his cold bloodedness."
'Are these two for real?" Homura looks between the pair.
"Okay you can stop complimenting me because it ain't working." Jonetsu shook his head.
"I wasn't trying to compliment you." Haruka smiled.
"Anyways all I did was give you a little graze across the chest." Jonetsu points to Homura's scar.
"If this is a graze then I wonder what a real cut will be." Homura said to herself until Jonetsu's hand was reached out to her, "What are you doing?"
"You've got guts kid, well one day I might splay them across the ground if angry, but you've got guts and I respect that so come on I'll show you every nook and cranny of this place okay?" Jonetsu smiled.
"Hmmm okay." Homura grabbed Jonetsu by the hand but then slams her foot against Jonetsu's face sending the teen flying back.
"What the hell was that for!?" Jonetsu growled gripping his bleeding nose.
"That was for the cut you could've killed me!" Homura screamed.
"Of course you were to so I had to make it convincible." Jonetsu shouted.
"Still doesn't give you the right to discourage my pride by letting me alive, I would have embraced death than accept the same of losing to a strong opponent."
"Okay then fine next time I'll kill your ass!" Jonetsu and Homura glared at each other.
"Not before I kill your ass!" Homura screamed.
"Oh this will be a fun year." Haruka smirked as she watched the two bicker.
From that day on the arguments of Jonetsu and Homura still rang throughout the academy.
Present
"Nrgh!" Homura stops her assault on -Jonetsu- and holds her blades back, "Damn why did I have to remember that?"
"Huh?" Michael tilts his head.
"I guess I can't even kill you after everything you did." Homura teared up and fell to her knees.
'Oh geez she's crying.' Michael breathes in sharply.
"Look I know saying sorry won't work so I'm gonna say the obvious its my fault I did those terrible, douchie, indescribable things." Michael didn't hold back the insults towards Jonetsu, "But I'll repay for it by being by your side."
"That doesn't sound like you." Homura looks up, "Your just trying to get on my good side."
"No I'm not trust me ever since I left I felt guilty and tried to change so I'm being honest with you so believe me." Michael looked Homura in the eyes, "Because I, Jonetsu love you." Homura blushed at these words and was speechless did Jonetsu just do a confession to her the girl he despised ever since her first year at the academy. As Michael felt stupid taking Jonetsu's physical transformation into something he can manipulate by words alone. He wondered why he hasn't done this to Asuka-san but that's not the point he has to get out this scene somehow.
Suddenly a few figures from the treetops jumped from the branches and passed the two ninja. Michael caught the sight of them there were 20 and they didn't seem to have a lifelike presence to them so they must be puppets.
"Sorry but I'll need these." Michael grabbed two of Homura's katana and leapt after the puppet shinobi.
"W-wait!" Homura reached out for -Jonetsu-, "Damn it!" Homura then ran back towards the crimson girls hideout to regroup and call her friends.
As for Michael he continued his chase after the puppet ninja who had a captive in one of the puppet's arms. Picking up speed Michael vanished in thin air.
"Huh?" one of the puppets looked back to see nothing at all. Soon he then saw the ground below but he couldn't feel his body move. The scene was changed due to Michael decapitating the controlled thing's head off while giving off his lusterless eyes the puppets body then fell to the ground below and smashed into wooden pieces. The puppets saw the incoming threat and split up leaving 18 to suppress the ninja as one carried the hostage.
"Forbidden Evil Ninja Art: Silent Soul." Michael said one of the old techniques he used to use as a child, suddenly Michael's lusterless eyes released a sudden powerful pulse as it made everything around him freeze in place with distorted coloring surrounding the background. The lunging puppets were in place as Michael slashes his blades against their bodies, "Release." The eyes release a second pulse which made everything move again even the puppets who were now split into small splinters and limbs.
"They wear Hebijo academy uniforms and considering how they've been trying to capture me then I have to say the captive is...Oh screw my ass!" Michael jumps from another branch and onto the other one as one of the puppets holding the captive put him down.
"The mission was a succ-!" the puppet was silenced with a blade through the chest it looked back to see a pissed of -Jonetsu-, "W-who are you?"
"Michael Sarutobi." -Jonetsu- said.
"No your not our target he is." the puppet points to the captive which was a paralyzed -Michael-. Although this was taken as an insult to the real Michael who looked at the puppet with a fierce deranged glare.
"I just screwed myself over didn't I?" the puppet gasped as the blade was then slashed upwards cutting the chest and head open.
"Freaking smartass." -Jonetsu- groaned.
"Huh what happened?" -Michael- woke up as his transformation reverts him back to normal.
"I guess I should go back to normal too then." Michael does the same.
(Now their identities are back to normal.)
"Hey pal it seems you've been paralyzed and knocked out." Michael said as he analyzed the senbon needles, "So I saved you."
"Wait you did?" Jonetsu gasped.
"Yep and I have another question, its not important just a simple one is all...How the hell did you get captured!" Michael said calmly at first then yelled.
"Not enough time just run!" Jonetsu cried.
"Why?" Michael asked.
"I screwed up that's why!" Jonetsu shouted, "They're after us!"
"Who are -they-?" Michael rasied an eyebrow.
Secret Ninja Art: Dual Back Slice!
Suddenly the trees in front of Michael and Jonetsu were cut down in one foul swoop dust picked up around the 3 figures walking towards them.
Secret Ninja Art: Tornado Spindle!
Suddenly a fierce green whirlwind picks up the fallen trees and fire them at Michael and Jonetsu.
Secret Ninja Art: Flying Swallow Phoenix Blaze Flash- Style One!
The trees were chopped into small dagger like logs as they were heading towards Michael and Jonetsu.
"Hmph!" Michael slashes away at the logs and was able to get rid of them, he would celebrate but his blood ran cold at the sight of the girls who were walking out the dust cloud they were: Asuka, Ikaruga and Katsuragi who were each in their shinobi transformations and they looked pissed as hell.
"Michael-kun~!" The three girls sang in a creepy fashion.
"No, no, no, no, I am not doing this again!" Michael screamed then picked Jonetsu up and hid behind his body, "How did this happen!?"
"Well uh I kind of told them that you loved them, you wanted one to bare your child and the last one to plainly have sex with you." Jonetsu explained rather casually.
"What the **** man!?" Michael cursed.
"Well it actually lasted until evening let me explain how it all fell down from there." Jonetsu began.
Flashback
In the Hanzo baths once again the girls were getting ready to take their baths and this time they made sure to lock the door from any stray intruders but to 3 girls they didn't seem to mind if their tutor came in at all. The 3 were busy day dreaming about him. -Michael- was listening in on their conversation.
'Wait you listened to their conversation?' Michael said.
'Shut up and just listen already!' Jonetsu hissed.
'I can't believe Michael-kun finally confessed to me, to make sure the others don't get mad I'll keep it a secret for now.' Asuka giggled to herself as she packs her clothes away.
'Michael-kun wants me to have his child then that must mean *Gasp* did he just attempt a proposal no I'm being to fast about this but that's the only way I can see it though.' Ikaruga thought wrapping her towel around her body.
'Alright I wonder where we're gonna do it maybe at my house or his, man whatever it doesn't matter in what location it is all that matters is that we do it either way, hehehe I feel bad for the others they have no clue I've already won.' Katsuragi grinned as she was completely naked and had her towel around her neck showing just how shameful she is.
"Huh what do you mean Michael-senpai isn't Michael-senpai?" Hibari said earning the three girls' attention. The pair of 1st years were already done with the baths and were ready to head out.
"I am correct this senpai isn't the same he feels different." Yagyuu explained.
"But if its true then what he said to me was a lie?" Hibari sniffed.
"I'm sorry but yes." Yagyuu rubbed Hibari's back as she started to cry comically.
"Yagyuu-chan!" Katsuragi spoke up, "What are you saying Michael-kun isn't a fake he's real!"
"I'm not saying anything yet all I mean is don't trust a word he says until he is verified to be the true one." Yagyuu said.
"I agree with Katsuragi, Yagyuu-chan you mustn't think like that at all." Ikaruga spoke up also gaining a confused look from Katsuragi who wondered why she was defensive towards Michael.
"Yeah Michael-kun isn't an imposter." Asuka exclaimed.
'I can freak them out so badly right now.' -Michael- chuckled.
"Why are you all so worked up about this?" Yagyuu asked.
"Well because a-a-as his-" Asuka began then thought, 'No point in hiding it any longer, 'As his girlfriend I have to be defensive for him." Asuka said.
"Eh!?" the girls gasped.
"Whoa! Whoa! Your not his girlfriend." Katsuragi shook her head.
"She's right its clearly me." Ikaruga said.
"You?" Katsuragi gasped.
"Of course he found me suitable to ask if I could bare his child and I think I might accept." Ikaruga began.
"There's no way that could happen because he said he wants to do the lewd with me." Katsuragi exclaimed the drooled about the thought.
"Well he confessed his undying love towards me!" Asuka growled.
After an intense staredown between the three girls they all stopped and came to a conclusion.
"Wait so he did it to all of you?" Yagyuu asked.
"Yeah." the girls nodded.
"And your fighting each other over it because he messed with your emotions." Yagyuu shrugged.
"Yeah." the girls suddenly gasped in realization.
"Lets get the cheating bastard." Katsuragi growled as the two other girls nodded.
"That's not good for." -Michael- stepped back and bumped into a wooden chest he looks back to see shinobi puppets behind him, "Also not good for me!"
"Capture!" the puppets lunged at -Michael-.
"Heh I can take th-" Suddenly a senbon needle was shot at the back of his neck, "Damn it they got me!" -Michael- then fell forward and passed as the puppets began to secure their target.
Present
"And that's all I know." Jonetsu explained.
"Michael-kun you've been a naughty, naughty, naughty boy." Asuka giggled creepily. Those dark eyes were back and the same were for Ikaruga and surprisingly Katsuragi this time.
"It isn't polite to mess with other people's hearts Michael you might end up getting your heart wrenched out your body in the end." Ikaruga looks at her reflection in Hien.
"Do you know how much I want to share with you well I can't say for sure because right now I want to give you a hundred kicks to the teeth and groin!" Katsuragi cracked her neck.
"Wow they are so pissed at you." Jonetsu chuckled.
"We have to tell them about the bet!" Michael cried.
"No way I'm doing it the loser who gives up has to tell them." Jonetsu spat.
"Look I'm about to die, you should be the one to do it." Michael cried.
"Pffft so you'll die a winner and I'll live as a loser hell no." Jonetsu smirked.
Then a few shadows jump out of the bushes and or trees to reveal themselves to everyone. The shadows were the Homura Crimson Squad and they also like the Hanzo girls look pissed. They too were in their shinobi transformations also.
"You Man whore!" Homura yelled.
"The hell!" Jonetsu gasped.
"I'm gonna rip your head off and put it where my now empty voided heart is!" Yomi growled and slams her huge sword into the ground trembling the earth beneath everyone.
"What did you do?" Jonetsu yelled.
"I told them that you needed them individually so it could bring you together." Michael nervously chuckled.
"You idiot they'll just be at odds with each other and lead their anger at me!" Jonetsu cried then bit his lip knowing what he must do, "Everyone it was just a bet!"
"A bet?" Homura/Asuka asked.
"Yes we switched places to see out of the two were horrible to live with the Hanzo girls vs. the Crimson Squad!" Jonetsu cried.
"You know if you paid more attention to your friends and their needs then this wouldn't happen." Michael said talking about the empty promises and Jonetsu's intimidating presence bringing them to this conclusion.
"Shut up can't you see I'm begging for our lives!" Jonetsu shouted.
"So the one who said he loved me..." Homura began.
"The one who helped me with target practice..." Mirai continued.
"The one who helped me with Groceries..." Yomi continued.
"It was him?" Haruka and Hikage look at Michael disappointingly.
"I think I sense a little hostility here." Michael sweatdropped.
"So you spent time with them!?" Ikaruga growled.
"W-wait its not like that!" Michael pleaded.
"I guess we had high expectations after all." Yomi sighed.
"His blood did taste a little like Double O negative." Hikage said.
"You can tell by tasting it?" Michael exclaimed.
"I guess Jonetsu-chan will never change." Haruka sighed and shrugged.
"Stupid Meat bag." Mirai stuck her tongue out.
"Man now I see why I'm thankful that I don't live here anymore, I'm out of here!" Jonetsu growled then spun around about to leave until...
"Wait." Homura spoke up.
"What do you want, I'm leaving just like you said." Jonetsu groaned.
"No your not." Homura shook her head, this gave Jonetsu interest as he didn't move an inch. Homura continued, "I just found out that its not home without you here and we all regret the decision about kicking you out."
"-We-?" Mirai coughed.
"Grrr! Fine I regret it okay!" Homura hissed, "So please come back."
"Well all I have to say is screw you guys!" Jonetsu spat.
"Jonetsu you can't live with me anymore your a slob, man!" Michael shouted.
"Okay I might reconsider if you won't be a bitch anymore." Jonetsu sighed as the girls smiled and giggled at Jonetsu's antic with Michael as Jonetsu growled at Homura who does the same thing. This has thus rekindled the bond with the friends.
"Grrr! Well welcome back asshole." Homura spat.
"You too Misses Landlady." Jonetsu spat.
The two turned away from each other but secretly etched smiles onto their faces away from the other.
"Well I win the bet and Jonetsu is back with his friends I'd say today everyone was a winner." Michael smiled calmly.
"Michael-kun~!" Katsuragi sang.
"Yes." Michael absent mindedly turned to the girl as a hand gripped his neck strangling him.
"Your dead." Katsuragi, Asuka, and Ikaruga smiled with their dark eyes piercing into Michael's soul.
"No wait I thought this would be a happy ending?" Michael cried.
"We will send you to the after life with one blow." Asuka sang.
As things seemed bleak a ray of hope has arrived as a flash of white hair was shown lifting Michael away from the three girls.
"What Yagyuu-chan?" Asuka gasped.
"Y-you saved me?" Michael said as Yagyuu looks up at Michael with a rather happy smile.
"Don't worry senpai I'll always be there to help you." Yagyuu then pulls out a smoke bomb, "Escape!" Yagyuu threw down the smoke bomb retreating at once as the smoke blinded everyone.
"Damn they got away." Katsuragi cursed.
"We'll get him tomorrow for sure." Asuka said.
"Hey." Jonetsu spoke up earning glares from the girls, "Here." Jonetsu threw to them a green scroll.
"Wait isn't this Michael's?" Ikaruga asked.
"One of the puppets who kidnapped me had it on it's body so make sure to give it to him directly and I'm pretty sure your sensei or that old guy doesn't have to worry Michael is back in shape to handle it, if he was able to fend himself against Homura and the others than he can handle a simple transformation." Jonetsu said, "And also don't be to tough on him, I'm just telling you this damage already done."
"What do you mean by that?" Homura asked as her and everyone left the scene and head on home.
"I mean all of you are psychotic bitches." Jonetsu said.
"We know." the girls giggled.
"I hate all of you." Jonetsu didn't want those reactions at all.
"I guess we should return home too." Asuka spoke up.
"It seems like our only option until tomorrow." Ikaruga said.
"Well I just want to wring Michael's neck and feel satisfied but I can't now, Rargh! how can I sleep tonight now!" Katsuragi growled.
"Everyone!" Hibari flashed stepped in front of the group then fell face forward.
"Hibari-chan are you okay?" Asuka helps the girl up.
"And where were you?" Ikaruga crossed her arms.
"Yagyuu-chan walked me home and acted so strange and then that's when I found this when she left." Hibari pulled out a list which was planned out completely.
"Let me see this." Ikaruga politely took the list and read it out loud.
1) Put the words of "Your life is a living hell" in Michael-Senpai's head
2) Wait until Michael-senpai has successfully taken bet with Ex-ninja, Jonetsu
3) Make sure senpai is actually Jonetsu
4) Claim that senpai is a fake in front of others
a) Paralyze Jonetsu with a senbon needle
b) Let puppet ninja capture Jonetsu
5) Let the others attack and scare Michael-senpai to death
6) Save Michael-senpai thus gaining his affection and earning a rewarding rest with him tonight
7) I told all of you that 'I will bury you.'
The girls looked at the list up and down with their mouths open seeing the completely planned out list Yagyuu created.
"So she planned all of this?" Katsuragi gulped.
"I don't know whether to feel terrified or impressed with my underclassman." Ikaruga rubbed her chin.
"Wait earn a rewarding rest what could that mean?" Asuka asked her friends as they all shrugged.
At Michael's Home
Just arriving back him and Yagyuu walk to the front door with Yagyuu standing close to protect the discombobulated Michael. Even Mochi himself was terrified but not for the same reason Michael is remember animals can know things humans don't.
"T-thank you Yagyuu-chan." Michael trembled as he hugged the girl who hugs him back.
"No worries senpai." Yagyuu smiled enjoying the embrace.
"I don't think I would've survived if you didn't arrive?" Michael gulped.
"Its nothing senpai." Yagyuu blushed and relinquished from the hug although hating to do so she needed to unless she wants to return home for a good rest, "Bye and have a nice night." Yagyuu then turns around and begins her descent back to her home until...
"Y-Yagyuu w-wait!" Michael called out to Yagyuu who stops in her tracks, "I feel safer around you and I don't think I can sleep alone tonight knowing your not here to protect me from the others so could you please stay over for the night?"
"Senpai I don't know I-" Yagyuu trails off but then Michael hugs her once again this time only tighter. Yagyuu blushes at the stronger embrace and couldn't help but melt into it.
"Please don't leave me alone!" Michael cried in a sad manner.
"I promise I won't leave you alone." Yagyuu said.
20 minutes later...
In Michael's futon Yagyuu sat inside while wearing her nightwear as she awaits her senpai to return from changing. She looks over to Mochi who sat in the corner of the room and smiled as she walks over to the monkey who continued to tremble in guilt.
"Good monkey thank you for keeping quiet here you've earned it." Yagyuu places a small banana next to Mochi and returns to bed as Mochi remembered the list Yagyuu created during the day as he was unfortunate to see her create the plan that has now been attempted.
"I'm back sorry to keep you waiting." Michael returns from the bathroom wearing his purple shirt and black sweatpants.
"No worries." Yagyuu smiled as Michael sat in bed next to her.
"I'm surprised your parents allowed you to stay here." Michael smiled.
"Once they heard I was protecting -you- they told me to stay as long as it costs." Yagyuu explained.
"That's oddly convenient well good night." Michael smiled as he turned off the lights and laid down in bed as Yagyuu does the same. She snuggled closely to Michael's chest and enjoyed the warmth his body gave off and couldn't help but smile. Her plan has finally come to fruition.
But from the outside near the rooftops of Michael's home the samurai figure appeared once again but with a female figure instead this time.
"Our puppets failed us too." the figure shook his head.
"Relying on simple means to complete a mission may be part of being a shinobi but I still believe us capturing the boy now will make things easier." the female figure summons her katana and begins to unsheathe it.
"I guess you are right." the figure sighed and pulls out large rings sharpened with deadly steel.
The two were about to rush the home and kidnap the shinobi themselves until the noise of sandals clogging reached their ears. The pair turn back to see a legendary force standing behind them glaring at them with red eyes locking onto their prey.
"I'm sorry you two but I don't think you should be messing with my Little Brother when he's having a nap believe me," the woman had long black hair and red eyes while wearing a Gakuran Uniform unbuttoned to reveal her bandaged chest and muscular six pack with traditional Japanese sandals, "You'd be best fighting me than him."
"I see the rumored Legendary Senior is here." the samurai figure sighed.
"I guess we'll retreat for now." the womanly figure said as the pair then disappeared in the shadows.
"Hmph I guess they weren't resolved to stake everything to get him." the woman then looked down at the house Michael stayed in, "Little Brother your Big Sister has returned."
Back in the house Michael trembled in his sleep and said, "Why did it get so cold all of a sudden?"
Kiriya: You may have you scroll back but you lack in Control of your strength and emotions until you can prove to me you've gotten yourself in check again you may not participate in any of your shinobi duties understood.
Michael: Yes Sensei.
Hanzo: Michael-kun remember your mind has to be fit at all times if you want to be grow better.
Michael: I know Master but why are you and sensei focusing on my mental training is there something I should know?
Hanzo: Eh...no nothing at all just be sure to train in that style alright.
Michael: Of course Master.
