"Where are those brats?!" Anko was yelling as she ran around the village.
"We're right here." Anko looked up to see her students standing on the roof of one of the shops. "What?" Maiku asked noticing the grin on Anko's face.
"Hey aniki, there's a snake in your shirt." Naruto took a couple steps back.
"There isn't a...SNAKE!" Maiku shouted and fell off the building.
"Its not what I had in mind of doing, but that'll be it for now. Come on, we got a job to do." Maiku picked himself off the ground, after the snake disappeared, and followed Naruto and his sensei.
"What did you find out yesterday Anko-sensei?" Naruto asked as the made their way to the village entrance.
"They just walk right in. Nobody tries to stop them." Anko pulled out a kunai and spun in on her finger in anticipation.
'Bogu, you ready?' Maiku thought to his demon.
"Always kid." Bogu replied.
'Hey fox wake up!' Naruto shouted inside his head.
"Is it time for breakfast?" Kyuubi began laughing. And they waited, silently. Mentally preparing themselves. "I think that's them."
"Finally. We've been waiting for five hours." Maiku grabbed his sword and did a few swipes in the air before taking a stance. A cloud of black smoke revealed Bogu. A similar red cloud brought out six foot tall kyuubi.
"Its so good to be outside." The fox roared loudly.
"Indeed, now we got a job to do." Bogu raised his arms and the iron chains around his arms shot out into the crowd of oncoming bandits. "Kusari Shotto!" Kyuubi just launched a few fireballs before charging into the crowd.
Anko stared wide eyed. "Thats the..."
"Talk about it later. Lets go Naruto." Maiku followed behind Bogu to attack. He blocked a few spear strikes with his sword then put it in the ground blade first. "Raiton: Raikou Roddo!" Lightning came down and hit the sword, acting as a lightning rod, before jumping to nearby targets.
Naruto made some hand signs. "Fuuton: Kaze Enko!" The direction of the wind changed and arced around Naruto, cutting a deep gash in the chest of three attackers. "Damn, only three."
"How many were you going for?" Maiku asked as he removed his sword from someone's stomach. He sidestepped an attack and pierced another man's back severing the spinal cord.
"I was going for ten." Naruto threw shuriken and watched them find their mark, four out of the five hit the neck. The battle continued for two hours once Anko stepped in, not wanting to be out done by her students, she summoned a few large snakes.
Kyuubi and Bogu were both covered in blood. "Guess you two enjoyed yourselves huh?"
Kyuubi finished swallowing a bandit's upper torso. Naruto winced at the crunch it made. "It wasn't a bad afternoon." Kyuubi smiled. "You better call me out again to do this." He disappeared in a puff of red smoke, Bogu followed in a black cloud.
Anko put Naruto in a headlock. "You got some explaining to do brat!" She shouted.
"Can't explain if he can't breath can he Anko-sensei?" Anko shot a glare at Maiku who shut up instantly and went back to cleaning his sword. After a few more minutes of strangling she let go.
"Alright I'll tell you." Naruto rubbed his neck, which was now red. "The fox and I came to an agreement, I let him out now and then and in return I get a little boost in my abilities."
"A little." Maiku scoffed.
"Same goes for you and your demon!" Naruto snapped back.
"You have a demon to? This is getting crazier." Anko began walking toward the village elder's building.
"Well its not like we're going to sick them on the village." Naruto said running to catch up.
"Now there's an idea." Maiku stopped and took a thinking pose, who just received a hit from Anko.
"I know you were kidding so be thankful that will be all you get." Two hours later found Naruto and Maiku back in their hotel room talking.
"Well, one successful mission under our belt. Wonder what's next." Maiku walked over to the window and looked out it. The sun was setting.
"Who knows, it could be anything." Naruto sealed their packs so they would be ready to leave early in the morning.
"I just want to get back to the village. It was fun to get away for awhile." Maiku closed the window. "But I just want another assignment."
"I know. This afternoon's fight got me pumped." Kyuubi lifted his head and let out a low roar. He had been in the room next to his container, who had him the size small dog. Bogu was leaning against the wall, arms crossed and hair over his eyes, looking intimidating.
"I see your not worrying about killing." Bogu said.
"Its part of the job. Naruto and I figured that out sometime ago." Maiku's exspression changed.
"The incident. Alright then, sleep well." Bogu vanished.
"Glad I don't have such a weak container." Red smoke and Kyuubi was gone as well.
Anko and her two students were standing in front of the Hokage, who was demanding an explanation about the kyuubi. So naruto told them about his first meeting up to discovering Maiku's inhabitant and the deals they made.
"The council is going to have a fit when they hear about this." Sarutobi sighed.
"Then don't tell them and save yourself the trouble." Maiku said. "I don't want those stuck up assholes in on my business anyways. And if they do find out and try to do anything, I can't guarantee their safety."
Naruto moved back towards the door trying to drag Anko with him. "Aniki's getting angry." He whispered.
"Very well." The Hokage said. "The council doesn't really need to know. Good idea Maiku." Hokage then paid the group. "Come back tomorrow, I have another C-rank for you." The trio bowed and left.
"We're calling ourselves Team Demon. It'll be fun." Anko now had an evil smile.
Maiku groaned, and Naruto face palmed. "Great." They said in unison.
Maiku and Naruto were now sitting at a table in the Yaiba compound eating hall discussing their next possible mission when Tenten came in with dinner. "Looks great."
She set the food down and began eating. "So how was the mission? Ino was the one to tell me you had left."
"Sorry, Anko-sensei wanted to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise I would have told you." Maiku took another bite. "It was just a bandit extermination. Nothing to difficult."
A loud belch came from the floor, kyuubi had been eating some of the food. "Little guy sure can eat."
"At least someone wants to." Naruto said out loud unknowingly. Tenten shot him a glare and a few kunai. Maiku just fell over laughing. "Hey watch it." Naruto had been pinned to the wall, somehow upside down. Kyuubi came over and bit Naruto on his nose, making Maiku laugh harder.
"Never insult Tenten's cooking. Besides it actually tastes good, why don't you like it?" Maiku grabbed another bowl of rice.
"It no Ichikaru thats for sure." Another kunai whizzed passed Naruto's head.
"Dude I'm warning you, stop talking." Maiku finished eating and laid down.
"Aren't you going to help me down?" All Naruto got was a chuckle and another bite on the nose. "Damn fox." He mumbled.
Maiku was washing the dishes with Tenten. "Your friend needs to learn to keep quiet."
"Thats what Ino keeps saying. But you learn to put up with it." Maiku grabbed a bowl and put it under the running water. "You said Gai was going to recommend you for the chunin exams this year because he didn't last year right?" He asked. Tenten just nodded. "'I was thinking of pushing the marriage agreement to before the exams."
"You sure?" She asked, a slight blush had appeared on her face.
"A few weeks ago I learned life can be ended in ways we would never had foreseen." Maiku took Tenten's hand. "This is kind of hard for me to explain but I'm sure you understand what I'm trying o say."
Tenten hugged Maiku tightly. "I'm sure my father would agree. And I would be more than happy to marry you."
"Can't...breath." Tenten let go and Maiku fell to the ground, gasping for air. "Will Anko enter you and Naruto in the exams?"
Maiku stood up. "She's crazy enough to. I wouldn't put it past her." They finished the dishes and went to the backyard to talk for awhile before going to bed.
Team Demon stood waiting with Team Seven, who were watching some lady smother a cat. Kyuubi shuddered at the sight inside Naruto's head. "I feel bad for the thing."
'Showing a soft side Kyuubi?' A load roar was all naruto got for an answer.
"Anko, heres a C-rank escort mission." Sasuke couldn't contain his anger. Sadly, to Maiku and Naruto's annoyance, he couldn't hold it.
"What!? How come they get a C-rank and we're chasing a stupid cat.?" Sasuke shouted.
"Because we're better." Naruto said, not taking his attention away from the Hokage to annoy Sasuke further.
"Why don't you let Team Seven tag along with us Hokage-sama? They can assist if we need it, which I doubt." Anko said patting her students on the head at the end of her sentence.
"Fine, I'll allow it." This shut up Sasuke's protests.
"Hey old man! No more damn D-ranks!" A loud blonde haired kunoichi shouted entering the room.
Maiku leaned over to Naruto. "She's starting to take after you a bit. What did you do?"
Naruto elbowed Maiku in the ribs. "Shut up aniki."
Meanwhile the Hokage's patience was running thin with the entrance of Team Ten. "Fine! You will go with Team Ten and Demon!" He said without thinking. "I wonder if Team Nine will show up?!"
"Yosh Hokage-sama! My youth team are here for a mission." Everyone sweat dropped.
"Your going with them to!" Sarutobi was really angry. "Tazuna!" He shouted.
"Great, a bunch of kids." Said the old drunk. He was about to say something else when two puffs of smoke silenced him. Next two him now stood a seven foot Kyuubi and a seven foot Bogu.
"Watch what you say around our friends." Maiku walked over and crossed his arms.
"They don't like they're containers being disrespected." An obvious lie. Though only Maiku and Naruto knew it. They forced their demons out for intimidation. The inclusion that they came out themselves was an added bonus.
'Nice lie kit.' Kyuubi thought to Naruto. Everyone in the room now had wide eyes, except for the Hokage, Tenten and Anko.
"Hey don't kill the drunk now, though that would be fun. We won't get paid that way." Anko said. Bogu disappeared while Naruto hopped onto the Kyuubi's back, who made his way behind Anko.
"Now I know why they're called Team Demon." 'But Maiku a demon container as well?' Iruka thought.
"Anko, your team is in charge. Dismissed."
