Gravity the Wizard-Thanks

Shadan-I agree with your concerns on some things and I admit that I was rushing a little bit in the to my defense and argument, if Zabuza can recover from a false death state in a week, then I believe that Kurenai can do it too. You are making it sound like Kurenai is weak and frail just because she is a woman, but she is a freaking jonin. That comment made you sound a little sexist to me. Also I do agree with you with Sakura a bit, she couldn't become high genin level in just one week, which I will move the progress log to the eighth chapter in the beginning after the two weeks statement. Also you're somewhat right on Hinata, she may be pathetic, but you have to remember she had determination just as strong as Naruto…why did you think I change her character? And Taka with the team helping Team 7 is not stupid at all. One, is because they will face some rogue assassins along with my OC, Xavier from the Brotherhood and two, it is possible because the Brotherhood is flawless to pull off assassinations thus Taka/Naruto will help the ninja to improve their skills to an extent. Plus I plan on having Team 7 strong and Sasuke to have a level head instead of being an arrogant ass like in my other stories. If this feedback does not satisfy you, then PM me on how the chapter should go.

Chapter 9-Entering the Exams

Finishing another D-rank, Team 8 left the mission room, chatting with each other. Taka and Kurenai could not look at each other in the eye since that kiss two weeks ago, making Hinata and Shino notice a bit. Suddenly a falcon circled overhead and the jonin said, "Okay, team, you're dismissed for today. You are free to do whatever you want."

Then Kurenai perform the Shunshin no Jutsu to disappear in a puff of smoke and Hinata immediately asked, "Okay, Taka, spill it. You have been acting very weird around Sensei, you can never look her in the eye without blushing and averting your gaze…do you like her?"

Taka replied, trying to avoid the question, "Of course I do, she is my comrade and friend."

Shino said, "I believe that she was referring the term in an intimate relationship matter, Taka."

The hooded assassin replied with a sigh, "I don't know, she reminds me of Cassandra so much. When she comforted me, we just kind of kissed each other…and the strangest thing is that I liked it and I think she liked it too."

Hinata said, "You kissed Kurenai-sensei?! She is like 7 years older than you."

Taka turned his head and said, "Cassandra was about four years older than me."

Shino said, "Well…this is new and shocking, I might add."

Hinata was inwardly fuming, "Damn it, first Stellar, now sensei….damn, I never expected this to happen….if only he had a bloodline, then this wouldn't be hard at all. Now I'm going to have to try harder and take drastic measures." She thought.

Taka said, "I don't know what to do. I don't want to cause her pain like Aoi, but I want to be with her despite what people say about it."

Shino replied, "Normally I am not supposed to be the emotional voice, usually the logical voice, but you need to follow what your heart is telling you to do. By the way, who is Cassandra?"

The assassin relayed the history between him, Xavier and his deceased lover. In the end, Hinata was sad for the tragic end of his former lover and pissed at Xavier, promising painful things to do to him that involved burning and branding something very sensitive. Shin was the same way though you couldn't see on his face, there was a slight buzzing and his body language shows that he was agitated.

"We're sorry if we caused you any pain in remembering her, Taka-kun." The Hyuga said sadly.

Taka gave her a soft smile, "It is okay, it reminds me to move along with my life and remember the good times we shared together."

Shino said, "Well, I must be going home now….it seems that my father is giving me a new colony today and I will be occupied for a few hours, so I might as well get it over with." The Aburame left with Hinata and Taka waving him adieu.

Hinata turned to him, "So how about we discuss your predicament over BBQ." Taka sighed, "You are not going to let this go, are you?" Hinata shook her head, "Remember, I told you that I have an attraction to you….if Kurenai-sensei feels the same way as you, than I have some competition with her." Taka laughed as he led her to the restaurant.

Hokage's Office- "It's that time of year again…The Chunin Exams." Kakashi said, "When does it start, Hokage-sama?"

The Sandaime replied, "Three weeks…will you be nominating your teams?"

Kurenai said, "I nominate my team, consisting of Hyuga Hinata, Aburame Shino and Taka for the exams."

Asuma said, "I nominate Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji for the Chunin Exams."

Kakashi said, "I nominate my team as well."

Suddenly Iruka blurted out, "Hokage-sama, may I speak?" Sarutobi nodded and the Academy teacher said, "I can understand Taka being able to handle the exams, but the rest of the genin will not be able to cope with the struggle in the exams."

Kurenai replied, "Iruka-san, my team had already experienced their first kill as well as the two boys on Kakashi's team. They have been coping with it along with the help of their friends."

The chunin thought, "Already? Their first kill at that age?!"

Kurenai continued, "Along with that, I trust Taka to keep them together. As long as they trust in each other, they will overcome this exam with ease." That statement caused Iruka some relief and rejuvenating his faith in his former students.

The Hokage stated, "Gai had already sent his nomination, so everyone except Kurenai is dismissed." The jonin and chunin filed out of the room, leaving Kurenai and Hiruzen alone. "I need you to tell Anko that she will be proctoring the second part of the exam." The old leader said.

Kurenai nodded and the Hokage asked, "Kurenai, are you okay? You seem to be distracted." The female Jonin bit her lip and replied, "I-I'm fine, Hokage-sama." Sarutobi knew that she was lying, but decided not to push the matter, "Then you are dismissed."

Apartment- Anko sat on the couch, eating dango and watching Blade: Trinity, then Kurenai walked in without noticing Anko at all. The Snake Princess knew when her friend did this sort of thing, something was troubling her mind.

Anko walked up to Kurenai and shouted, "Ohayo, Kure-chan!"

The Genjutsu Mistress, startled at her friend's outburst, replied, "Oh, hi, Anko-chan, I didn't see you there. Gomen and Hokage-sama told me to tell you that you will be proctor for the second part of the Chunin Exams."

Anko said in a serious tone, "Never mind that…something is bothering you, what is it?"

Kurenai protested feebly, "N-Nothing!"

Anko said, "Kurenai, remember what Taka said, friends don't hide secrets from friends."

Kurenai whispered, "I kissed him."

Anko replied, "Kissed who? Asuma? You know he is afraid of commitment."

Kurenai shook her head, "No, not Asuma….Taka. I kissed him…twice….we did it the first time when he comforted me from that nightmare on our first C-rank mission and we did it again two weeks ago when he confessed about his former lover, Cassandra. After that, I….I can't stop thinking about his lips, his body, how he held me in his arms, how he comforted me with his words…I never felt this way before….since…ever."

Anko replied, "Girl, there is one thing to explain that feeling…you are falling for him."

Kurenai perked up, "But I can't…I'm 21 and he is only 13."

Anko said, "So….Cassandra was older than him too. Plus you two may die on a mission or something." Kurenai argued, "But this is different….we are seven years apart, she was three, about four years."

Anko said, "Kure-chan, face it. You dreamed of him, think of him, but yet you are denying what your heart wants. Your mouth made excuses, but your eyes say something else."

Kurenai said, "But…"

Anko interrupted, "No buts…pretty soon somebody else will take him from you, it could be me or maybe that Hyuga girl on your team."

Kurenai said, "What?!"

Anko said, "Why not? I mean, he is cute, strong, loyal and from what I can tell with his friend, he got a lot of stamina."

Kurenai slammed his hands on the table and shouted, "Taka is not a sex toy! Sure, he may be all of those things, but he is romantic, caring, put his friends' well-being before his own, modest and somewhat innocent."

Anko smirked, "See, you do care for him….I knew all of those things already and you feel territorial of him. You…love….Taka, Kurenai Yuhi."

Kurenai slowly sat down in the chair, "I'm….in love with…him."

Anko said, "And I'm pretty sure he is feeling the same way too…damn, I wish he had a bloodline." Kurenai said, "You mean…"

Anko nodded, "Yeah, I kinda liked him too….he is the only one to see past the mask and I doubt that anyone will want to associate with me as their wife. I can see myself with him, plus you remember how I was dazed on our first date."

Kurenai said, "Dazed? You were practically oblivious to everything except you and that rose. You kept staring at it until you fell asleep." Anko looked at the rose, which was still alive, but a little wilted. "Yeah…you are right….but eventually if he doesn't have one, one of us will be heartbroken and have to ask for an open relationship."

Kurenai said, "True, well, I better give these slips to them and while I am at it, I will ask Taka to go out tonight."

Taka- The assassin sighed in despair, he just couldn't get Kurenai out of his head. In truth, it was overwhelming, he first felt connected to her. Next, over the past weeks, he noticed that Anko would steal glances at him and blush, so there was a possibility that Anko had feelings for him and now Hinata practically confessed that she also has an attraction.

All three of them made him complete, Kurenai was like Cassandra, Anko was like himself and Hinata was a mix of his and Cassandra's flirting side. Anyway after they talked about his predicament, which made him more frustrated, Hinata gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek and left to go home.

Taka was sitting, lost in his thoughts and then a familiar voice called out to him, "Taka-san." The assassin looked up to see Haku, "Haku….when did you get here?"

Haku answered, "Just this afternoon, it took us a while to teach some of the young man and women how to do defend themselves. What is wrong with you?"

Taka said, "I'm falling in love….again, this time it's with three women. I feel connected to all of them, but sadly I can only choose one. If I had a bloodline, this would be much easier."

Haku commented, "I'm sorry for your predicament….if only you could have someone to make you a bloodline."

Taka perked up and shouted, "Haku, you are a genius!" He hugged her and paid the bill before running off, leaving Haku dumbfounded. "What did I say?" Taka ran through the street to bump into Kurenai. "K-Kure-chan." Taka said.

"T-Taka-kun, I have been looking for you." She said looking at her. The assassin helped her up as he asked, "What is it?" Kurenai asked while blushing, "Umm….I was wondering…if you would like to go out….on a date….with me tonight." Taka said, "Oh…um, sure, I pick you….up around 8." Kurenai said, "Great….oh, and here is your slip for the Chunin Exams."

Taka said, "You nominated us?" She nodded and the assassin smiled, "We are more than ready for this, sensei. I will see you around 8, alright?" Kurenai smiled, "Right!"

Taka's House- The man moved inside his house, moved on top of his bed and meditated to travel deep into his mind to the only one who could help him.

Mindscape- Taka traveled into his mind, "Wow, my mind is a sewer….need to change that." Then he approached the gate to find two blood-red eyes and a malicious smile on its face. "You must be the Kyuubi…Greetings."

The fox replied, "And you must be my tenant...come closer."

Taka came closer and its claws came out to stop in front of Taka. "Hmmm, you show no fear….good, to what do I owe this pleasure of you seeing me." Taka said, "I would like you to upgrade my Eagle Vision into a bloodline…a doujutsu."

Kyuubi said, "Fine….I will do it unless you free me."

Taka said, "Unfortunately I can't do that without you being out of control….You would ravage Konoha down to the ground and I have some friends here that will die if I release you. How about a contract?"

Kyuubi said, "A contract?"

Taka said, "You will be a summon and be bound to me. I will summon you as a last resort and grant your freedom with some restrictions." Kyuubi pondered for a moment, "What are the restrictions?"

Taka said, "Your size will be restricted depending on how much chakra I use and you can't kill anybody with the exception of a few selected people." Kyuubi closed its eyes and said, "Fine, I will do it…now this will hurt a bit."

Kyuubi moved his claws to touch Taka's forehead and the palm of his left hand. Taka gritted his teeth as the excruciating pain coursed through his body, mainly his eyes and left hand. After what seemed like an hour, the pain subsided and Taka looked at his hand to see a swirl (A/N: Picture Eragon's mark) and his eyes seem to see clearer than normal.

"Thank you, Kyuubi…you will be summoned in due time."

Kyuubi said, "You better, boy or this will be taken away from you." Taka said, "Understood, Kyuubi no Yoko." Taka broke the connection and awakened in his room, "Okay, now that I got the bloodline, I can pass it off when Kyuubi's chakra influenced me sometime…now the date."

7:45-Anko and Kurenai's Apartment- The Genjutsu Mistress came out of her room, dressed in a ruby red dress with red ninja heels. There was a slit on her right side that came up to mid-thigh.

Anko said, "Are you trying to kill Taka with this dress?"

Kurenai asked, "Do you think that it's too much, Anko-chan?"

Anko replied, "Hell no, Taka is going to practically undress you with his eyes." The doorbell rang and Kurenai rushed to the door and opened it. Taka stood there with his ANBU mask with slit to see and the lower half was cut off. He was wearing a black Mandarin shirt and pants. "Oh damn….either I'm dead or hallucinating because I see an angel."

Anko smirked as Kurenai blushed at Taka's praise. "Thank you, Taka-kun. Ready to go?" she asked. He nodded and offered her the crook of her arm. The revered Ice Queen took it and was led away.

Anko said, "No sex, you two. Kure-chan can't afford to get pregnant, Taka-kun." The two daters blushed and set off to the Golden Dragon. "Hey, Michiko-san!" Taka called. Michiko looked up and smiled, "Oh, hello, Taka….where is Anko-chan and who is this lady here?"

Taka introduced Kurenai, "This is Kurenai Yuhi, Anko's friend. I am taking her here for an outing. Michiko smirked, "I am beginning to think that you like older women….I will have Aya serve your table."

Aya stepped forward and led them to an empty table, serving them buttered rolls and their orders…salmon with lemon pepper for Taka and teriyaki chicken for Kurenai. Taka and Kurenai both sat eating and talking about the lives as novices in their art, each exchanging secret, views on certain things and sneak peeks on Taka's new book, Swirling Flowers: Safety and Peace.

"So the main character seem to be very honest and noble, looking for peace of mind and love as well. She also likes illusions too, just like me."

Taka said, "Yes, Rika is based off of you…I am almost finished with it, I just need one last thing to finish it."

Kurenai smiled, "I am sure you will find the inspiration soon, Taka-kun."

The music began to play and Taka said, "Would you like to dance?"

Kurenai smiled, "Yes."

Then the gentle assassin took her hand gingerly and led her to the polished dance floor (I Will Always Be With You from All Dogs Go to Heaven II plays….Don't own!)

The two danced across the floor, holding each other close. Kurenai laid her head on Taka's shoulder (Kurenai is 5 foot 6 while Taka is 5 foot 9)in turn…the assassin held her close in his strong arms, feeling her body mesh and rub into his. Then they both looked into each other's eyes, searching for what they both wanted…..something that they both needed.

They began to move closer and closer until their mouths met, kissing each other. Kurenai grasped at his shoulders, forcing Taka to kiss her deeper and Taka complied, making her moan sensually. After 4 minutes, they broke away, gasping for air.

"Wow….that's perfect." Taka breathed out. Kurenai said, "That….I agree with you there." The assassin replied, "Wanna go home?" Kurenai grabbed his shirt, pulling her closer and said, "No, not yet….I am not finished." Taka smirked and they began kissing again.

Anko- The Snake Princess looked at the clock after sitting around, doing nothing. The clock flashed 9:36. "Where the hell are they? They were supposed to be back since nine….well, unless they are doing a quickie."

Then the door opened to reveal a glowing Kurenai and a satisfied Taka.

Anko said, "You just had a quickie, didn't you?"

Kurenai popped out of her dazed expression and said, "What? No, we didn't have sex….he is just a good kisser."

Anko said, "Really?"

She grabbed Taka and kissed him. Taka thought, "Okay, Kurenai's style is aggressive in contract to her personality, so Anko would be the type that likes it soft and sensual."

He immediately changed up his style quickly, making Anko moan into the kiss. When they broke apart and Anko said with a blush, "You are right, he is a good kisser."

Kurenai frowned, "Next time, ask permission to do that."

The Snake Mistress said, "Hey, he still has not chosen who to be with."

Taka said, "I will tell you when I finish my date with Hinata after the exams."

3 weeks later- Taka, Hinata and Shino devoted themselves to team and individual training. Taka worked on extended battling since he was not suited for prolonged battles, Shino worked on his taijutsu, which was severely lacking and he knew that he got lucky with the Rain genin and Hinata worked on her long-range fighting with the enlisted help of Haku.

The team went to the building, noticed the genjutsu and pass by the genin discreetly into the correct room. Soon Team 10 and Team 7 came into the room where they met a shady character named Kabuto Yakushi.

Taka got a bad vibe from him and planned to follow him later. After Ibiki Morino gave them the first test and passed 26 teams including the rookie Nine, Anko made an expression by crashing into a window with a banner and led them to the Forest of Death.

When she was finished explaining the rules to the genin and gave them the death waiver forms, she let them have a 30-minute break.

Taka was walking around until he felt a familiar presence, "It's been too long….Xavier."

Hakureisaiga-Finally my OC, Xavier makes an appearance. What are his intentions other than to kill him? Will Taka be able to beat his former best friend or succumb just like Cassandra? Tune in the next chapter of Naruto no Taka-Friends and Enemies: Taka vs. Xavier!

Taka- Xavier, I will defeat you for what you have done

Xavier-We will see, old friend
