Godha's Manor: 3pm

Rikimaru and Ayame sat in her room as they tried to decipher what Onikage meant. "He said that Katashi was just a pawn in his plan, but I still don't get what his actual plan is just yet." Rikimaru sat there as his hands were on his forehead. Ayame sat next to him as she started to think. "He also said that its something that you are able to figure out." Ayame looked at him as she finally got an idea. "Rikimaru, what does Onikage want the most?" Rikimaru looks at her and smirks. "Your Body" He laughed as he felt a punch to the stomach. He coughed a bit as she just glared at him. "Alright, I'll be serious this time" He laughed as he coughed a couple more times as he rubbed his stomach a bit. "Onikage mainly wants to destroy us." Ayame nodded. "And how do you think...he couldn't destroy us face to face, so he must be trying something else..." Rikimaru continued to think about this as he and Ayame just sat there. Closing her eyes, she didn't expect that Rikimaru would pounce her and looked deep into her eyes as he was over her. Ayame had a blush on her face as she takes off Rikimaru's mask. She turns her head with a blush as one eye looked up at him. "R-rikimaru, we can't do this now...what if Kiku and Katashi hears?" She had a deep crimson blush on her face. Rikimaru leaned down as he kisses her soft lips and pulled back a bit. "I don't care...let them hear" He moves his hand up her body as he kisses her neck.

The guards outside walked passed as they heard noises from Ayame's room. They started to think of who was in their with her and they realized that it was Rikimaru. They stood in front of the door as they were guarding it, but mainly to hear what the hell was going on in there. The moans of Ayame filled the room as they stood there. They finally figured that Rikimaru was finally getting his frustrations out and Ayame was finally enjoying herself. Katashi and Kiku were talking as they saw the guards standing as if they were suppose to guard Kiku. Kiku and Katashi stood in front of the guards as she looked at them. "I need to see Ayame-nee and Riki-nii, please move out of the way." The guards looked at each other as the one in the middle sighed. "I'm sorry Kiku-hime...Rikimaru and Ayame are some wha-" "Oh God Rikimaru! Yes! Right there!" Ayame's loud moans traveled as the guards started to sweat. Kiku and Katashi wondered what was going in there as the two took a step. "Uh, Sorry Kiku-hime and Katashi-san...They are...in the middle of training." The guard had to come up quickly because he did not want the two to walk on the scene that was currently going on in the room. "Ah...Kiku-hime, Katashi-san...come back in about an hour or two." Two guards moved behind Kiku and Katashi and moved them away from the door. The guards look as they saw the guards move them to the next area as they sighed. "Those two really really owe us for this." They nodded with each other.

One hour later, Rikimaru and Ayame were laying together, Ayame resting her head on Rikimaru's chest. Her fingers made circles on his chest as she just smirked up at him. "Wow, Rikimaru, you were an animal." She smiled as she was relieved and Rikimaru just smiled. He had his arms wrapped around Ayame as he just laid there. "We both needed it, we were stressed." She gazed up at him and just smiled. "Or is it that you were too stressed out?" They both laughed as it finally kicked it. "But hey, takes to that, I think I finally found out Onikage's plan...thats why I love you so much" Rikimaru smiled as Ayame blushed as she laid on him. "I love you too, Rikimaru."

Outside of Godha's manor: 7pm

Nighttime started to fall as Kiku and Katashi were sitting outside on the ground, looking at the stars that are currently shining. Kiku looked at the stars as she just smiled as Katashi looked at Kiku and smiled. They were enjoying this time together. Kiku had a blush on her face as her hand moved as she touched Katashi's hand and slowly pulled back. She wasn't expecting him to grab her hand and hold it in his. Katashi looked at her with a blush that matched the one on her face. He smiled at her as she smiled back at him. They were young, but on their faces, they can tell that they have fallen for each other. They cared for each others company since they were already so close. The guards from the building looked from the balcony as they watched the two. "Wow, both 12 years old and already it seems that they have fallen for each other." The guards said as they just sighed. "How long have we been watching her?" "Ever since she was a baby." The two guards sighed as they felt old. "Hey guys" Rikimaru appeared behind them as they were use to this. "Hey, Rikimaru." They both said as they turned and looked at him. "You know...both you and Ayame owe us big time." Rikimaru looked confused as he stood there. "Owe you for what?" He asked as they guards pointed out at the two. "They would've walked on the two of you..." Rikimaru finally got it and just laughed a bit. "Thanks you guys." Rikimaru disappeared from the area as he appeared in the distance away from both Katashi and Kiku. Appearing on his back, Ayame kissed Rikimaru's neck as she gets down. "Hey, watching the children again?" Rikimaru smirked as he looked at Ayame. "No, about to get Katashi to start his stealth training." "Ah. I forgot that you were going to start teaching him tonight."

"Yeah, its about that time anyways, its night and its the perfect time to start training." He smirked as he and Ayame walked over to the two young 'couple' and smiled. "Kiku-chan" Ayame asked as Kiku turned around and saw both Rikimaru and Ayame. "Ayame-nee, Riki-nii" She got up and ran over to them and stopped in front of them. Katashi got up as he stood next to Kiku as he looked at his two masters. "Katashi, its time to start training" Rikimaru went over to Katashi as he grabbed his shoulder as Katashi nodded and followed Rikimaru into the bamboo trinket. Kiku and Ayame walked back into the manor as they were going to have a little girl talk about the two guys.

Bamboo Trinket: 7:30pm

Rikimaru and Katashi appeared in the center of the Bamboo Trinket. Birds appeared around them as they looked at the two of them. Rikimaru looked around as this was not normal. These were not regular birds as Katashi appeared in front of him and threw a punch at Rikimaru. In that instant, Rikimaru blocked it as he stood his ground. Katashi's eyes were different, they were not the same type of eyes that he had when he seem him earlier. There was more killing intent and his punch packed more force than what he expected. Katashi jumped back as he stood there, his hair danced with the wind as a pair of red eyes appeared behind Katashi. "Thats enough Katashi" Katashi's bodies tensed as he turned around and knelt down. Rikimaru's eyes widened and then became more serious. "Onikage-sama" Katashi said as Onikage allowed him to rise up and he stood next to him, facing Rikimaru. Katashi stood in front of Onikage as Rikimaru wondered what was going on. "Poor Rikimaru, someone looks confused." Onikage put his hands on Katashi's shoulders. "How have my Student, been treating your little princess?" Rikimaru finally put the pieces together as he slowly figured out what Onikage's plan. "So...Katashi is your student...and I didn't even put that together." Rikimaru hated himself as he just realized why Onikage didn't kill him in the village. "The village, that was just your set up for I to take in Katashi and train him for a while." Onikage clapped as he then appeared in front of Rikimaru. "I knew you would be able to figure it out." Rikimaru jumped back as he stared down at Katashi. "The Art of Deception...you taught him that too well Onikage" His words were tainted with venom. "Yes, I know. I trained him well didn't I?" Katashi smiled just like Onikage would as he stood there. "Ayame and Kiku won't believe you. You can try to tell them that I am Onikage's student, but I really doubt they will trust you. They may hate you." Rikimaru glared as he knew that he was right, how would Ayame nor Kiku believe what he said. "So what now, you are going to destroy the Azuma's from the inside out?" Onikage chuckled evilly as he knew that Rikimaru was the only to figure this out. "In order to make sure that your opponent is dead, you must chop off its head." Rikimaru's eyes widened as he knew that what was going to happened. "You will not get close to Godha-sama!" He yelled as he stood in place. "Oh, sure I will" Katashi said as he appeared in front of Rikimaru and delivered a powerful spin kick the side of his head. Rikimaru was about to block most of it as he hit the stalk of bamboo trees hard and was knocked out.

Onikage and Katashi walked up to Rikimaru's non-moving body as they smirked. Onikage put his hand on his shoulder as he disappeared. "Go to them, bring him with you." "Yes, Onikage-sama" Katashi walked over to Rikimaru's body as he lifted him up with ease as Onikage vanished. "Continue the mission, no matter how long it takes." Katashi nodded as his eyes went back to normal as he smirked as he leaves the bamboo trinket.

Godha's Manor: 9pm

Ayame and Kiku were in Rikimaru's room as they were just chatting about random girl things. They were having fun as they haven't chatted in a while. They laughed and giggled as Ayame was happy to see Kiku happy, talking about the guy that she really really liked. "So you like Katashi that much Kiku?" Ayame just had to ask as Kiku blushed. "Yeah, he is really sweet and kind...he somewhat reminds me of a younger version of Rikimaru." Ayame stopped laughing as she tried to picture this and just laughed again. She put her hand on Kiku's head as she smiled. "Well I'm glad for you Kiku." "Thanks Ayame-nee" Their heads turned as they saw Katashi walking in with Rikimaru on his shoulders. He looked like he was struggling. "Katashi! Rikimaru!" The two said at the same time as Ayame went to get Rikimaru from Katashi's shoulders. She puts him on the ground as she wondered why he was unconscious. "Katashi! What happened!" She asked as Kiku held up Katashi. "Training...just simple training." He looked at her as his breathing was deep and heavy as Kiku helped him. "Here, lets go back to your room." Ayame allowed the two to leave as she tended to Rikimaru.

30 minutes later, Rikimaru popped up as he held his head. Ayame jumped back as he scared her. "Rikimaru! What happened during the training?" She asked. He had a headache as he tried to remember what happened exactly. "Onikage...Katashi...I now know the truth." Ayame's head turned as she looked at him. "Truth about what? What about Onikage and Katashi?" She asked as he looked at her and then down on the ground. "Katashi...is actually Onikage's student." She looked at him in disbelief. "How is Katashi Onikage's student? He has been living in that village for his entire life and Onikage was about to KILL him!" she said as he looked at her. "That who village scenario, that was a set up for we can take him in and train him, train him for Onikage's true purpose" Ayame didn't believe him. "And what is Katashi being used for, To kill US!" Rikimaru shook his head as he looked at Ayame and grabbed her shoulders. "There is a reason why he has been getting close to us, close to Kiku...he wants to kill Godha-sama!" "Ha! Katashi is a beginner, how is he going to kill Godha-sama!" "He is waiting for that perfect moment! Where he can trust us and we let our guard down...its too late" "Sorry Rikimaru, but I can't believe that Katashi would even think of doing that. He really likes Kiku, do you really think that he would do something to hurt her.?" "He is playing her, he had deceived her into thinking that he really lik-" "Sorry Rikimaru, I can't hear anymore of this!" Ayame gets up as she leaves, slamming the door behind her. Rikimaru sighed to himself as he knew that he should have kept this to himself.

Katashi and Kiku reached his room as she laid him down on the ground. "Thanks Kiku-chan, for everything" She smiled as she nodded. "Go and get your rest Katashi, training must hav been hard on you." He nodded as he closed his eyes and went to sleep. Kiku leaves his room and smiles to herself. Hearing that she is gone, Katashi smirked wickedly as he knew that this plan was going to to end soon and well.
