To see Hono's greedy smile brought a giggle like a bubbling creek to spill out of the green haired teen. The balls of her feet returned down to the ground as she stood normally once more. She hadn't expected it, but if he was so pleased, then she wouldn't complain about it. The simple-minded moment was not to last long, however. [8/10]

Before she knew it, right when it appeared that Hono was settling back to his usual demeanor, he started jumping, like some sort of hyperactive bunny. Hair and dress flopped with the small bunny hops, along with the more... dramatic body parts. It couldn't be helped, right? It couldn't be helped that Kagerou spent most of that time confused and watching two voluptuous jugs, covered in clothing that left little to the imagination, bounce up and down with great vigor. Was he going to be okay? She sure hoped he was okay. [9/10]

"Ehm... Uh..." she wanted to ask as Hono hopped, but was too afraid of interrupting whatever ritual this was to finish the question. Her eyes moved up and down, following the greatest motions, and before she could correct her vision to somewhere more appropriate, the individual she was admiring had stopped. There was a quick shake of her head to rid herself of the embarrassed blush and just as quickly, Kagerou was looking where she should have been looking from the start: the face. [10/10]

And what a changed face that was. It was not often that Kagerou was the one pulled along in a conversation, stumbling to keep up. This was one of those rare times as, while she was still assessing and adapting to the sudden change in character, she was grabbed and literally pulled along. Like water, she acquiesced, trailing after her companion with light, easygoing steps that went with the flow while her mind worked to understand it. Her head tilted to the side, brightly gleaming eyes locked sharply onto the face of the other, and a bemused smile. [1/10]

"Indeed, Hono is scary," and yet, the more she thought this, the more her opinion of him raised. Scary was impressive and, right now, it only made her want to know more of went on beneath that ever appropriate facade.

Although, that didn't stop her from being taken aback, pulling her head back as this girl version of Hono suddenly leaned . Hop. Suddently stop. Pull forwards. Suddenly lean in. Everything was so sudden with this new character, forget anyone recognizing Hono by his gait or habits. No, it was Kori-chan right now. Beginning to acclimate, the kunoichi leaned forwards herself and, mere inches from the other's face, shared her own mischievous grin. In an equally soft and quite conspiratorial whisper, she whispered, "I dunno, Kori-chan~ Would you like me to?". She hadn't meant to join, but she also hadn't expected to be asked to join. [2/10]

"Are you enjoying it?" Kagerou wondered as she watched the glistening lips and gleaming eyes. Happiness carried like clear bells in the hushed whispers Kori-chan shared with her. "Or is this part of your character, Hono?" The real question she could not say aloud. It didn't feel like she had known the other for long enough to have the right to that answer, which was fine. Taking the time to learn about the other side was part of the fun. [3/10]

Instead, she chided, "Empty flattery won't get you anywhere, Ko-ri-chan~" in a playful, sing-song voice. She leaned in closer, standing on tiptoes slightly so that she could whisper into the other's ears. "Hehe," a small giggle escaped as the soft white hair tickled her cheeks, but she still managed to ask, "Now, more importantly, do you prefer men or women?" in a whisper that bespoke of scandalous secrets. Try as she might to remain humble in the face of the other's spectacular performance, confidence nonetheless shined in the smile that appeared as she pulled her head back from Kori's ear. [4/10]

There it was, his indecision, or rather, his immovable decision to want only to please the other. In which case, Kagerou, would not insist on an answer. They were similar, in that sense.

Smiling up sweetly, she asked but one favor, "Then could you please close your eyes Kori-chan?". Lashes fluttered as she rested her chin upon the other's shoulders, leaning her front against the side. Tight chest bindings kept her troublesome body parts contained, but this close, their soft squish could be felt. [5/10]

She waited patiently for those summer eyes to close before making her transformation. Her own eyes stared at the top of Kori's head in concentration, and bells rang lightly, as they have been with every other movement she made prior, but this time, with hidden intent. The transformation she undertook was swift but not instant, and Kori would feel the arm intertwined with hers getting broader, more muscular but still slim and graceful. The chin was not long on her shoulder, a sword-worn hand resting upon there instead, and the tips of long hair coming from somewhere above would tickle her face. [6/10]

"Hokoroi-san," an unfairly familiar voice breathed out a familiar name into the glassblower's ear in a husky whisper, "I have a proposition for you." A pause teased all of the possibilities, and the vivid blue eyes that studied the other's gentle summer's blue as intently as the crimson of before gave away no answers. "If Hokori-san does not mind, could I ask for his assistance? For this contest, that is." Barely clothed and standing shamelessly close to the female even if he could no longer lean with his larger frame, there was the striking image of Soraru. The brightly colored kimono, now too small on this larger frame, stretched open, and on the contrary, the bandages once tightly wound the chest hung loosely, revealing a finely tuned body. [7/10]  

[HeadlessKoko]

It was reflexive. As soon as she saw the surprise she had given Hono, Kagerou's act melted off, just like how she melted off Hono. With motions smooth and graceful, as she imagined a traditional figure such as Soraru's would be accustomed to, she separated herself from Hono as he separated from her. It did not escape her notice how Hono stiffened after acquiescing to everything else. Looks like she had stumbled on something special. Or rather, someone special. [8/10]

She waited carefully for the torrent of thoughts behind the veil of Hono's eyes to calm, using the free moment for herself as well, recalibrating her body and habits to the new shape and size. A hand moved up to her face, touching it tentatively to make sure she had gotten the shape right. Although, with the way Hono acted, she was sure checking wasn't needed. [9/10]

"Are you worried that Soraru might be angry?". Though her voice was so much deeper in this shape, that lyrical undertone Kagerou tended to have carried over even into this body. "Or are you really just upset? It's okay to be honest, Hokori-san." Her eyes had been crossed as she talked, focused on the bridge of the nose that she was wiggling. [10/10]

Once she was satisfied the cartilage wasn't going to do anything wonky, she smiled at Hono. "'S'raru,' huh? So it wasn't just the alcohol slurring your voice." While one side used the last name and a formal suffix, the other used a nickname and familiar suffix. A scroll was retrieved from within the folds of clothes and a new, more appropriately sized set of clothes was pulled out. With a shrug of the shoulders, the already loose kimono completely fell off of the shoulders. Though, the lower half remained on while Kagerou donned the new clothes of black and red. Pale, noble arms slid through the sleeves and slender fingers weaved through raven hair to pull it out of the collar while a red ribben was held ready in the mouth. All this time, her eyes focused on getting dressed, but her peripherals kept careful track of Hono's reactions. [1/10]

Slightly late, but here's the technique information.
Technique Name: Kiritani Hidden Technique: Endless Masquerade [Approved] [Trained]
Rank: B
Type: Eiseijutsu
Element: n/a
Description: In short, a very physical and real version of Henge no Jutsu.
tab Derived from Ningeniro [Human Color], Endless Masquerade changes the physical shape and form of the body down to the finest anatomical details. Endless Masquerade can change color (any shade, natural or not), gender, alter age, and modify the body's proportions and various sizes. It is, however, limited by the limits of what the standard human body can handle, which are outlined below.
tab Barring certain genetic exemptions, such as the Akimichi, experimenting with Endless Masquerade has revealed that attempting extreme size changes with this technique leads to not only malfunctioning body parts but also severe bodily harm in extreme cases. Becoming a giant, it is not only impossible for the human body, even under the influence of ninja magic, to safely create enough matter to support such growth, but the circulatory and nervous systems cannot keep up with the sudden change in size. On the opposite end of the spectrum, trying to alter the body to anything smaller than 3' or so not only squeezes the inner anatomy of the body, which cannot be made to reduce in time, but also has a high chance of further complications arising when the target reverts back to his original size.
tab All in all, the safe limits of Endless Masquerade tend to hover between approximately 3' and 7' of height and their respective underweight and overweight weights. Proportions between body parts need to be kept within reason, being able to border on but not cross into "abomination" territory.
tab Because of the delicacy of this technique, even if it can be executed in a timely and easy manner with enough practice, the target of Endless Masquerade must be willing for Endless Masquerade to take effect.

Her mouth half opened, full lips, not quite as plump as Kori's but suitable still, ready to carry forth a clarification to her earlier question. What came out instead, however, was a sigh and a helpless shake of the head. The completed and raised pony tail waved back and forth behind the exposed nape. The Soraru copy was, for the record, fully clothes at this time. "You win this time," Soraru's voice breathed out with a gentle smile. The point had been missed, but Hono was not wrong. "Though, I am flattered that you find my transformation to be be so accurate." [2/10]

However, the blush that followed, easily spotted upon that porcelain skin, told the shipper not all was lost. Blue eyes narrowed at the picture of a maiden in love. At least, Kagerou liked to think she had stumbled upon a romance in the clouds, but maybe she was exaggerating matters. Seeing the other so embarrassed, in fact, she couldn't hold back from saying, "You are quite cute, Hono," in a voice that didn't necessarily strive to sound like Soraru's but with the demeanor this kunoichi had adapted with the transformation, ended up not far from the way one might expect Soraru to speak... if he ever had the gall to say such things. It seemed she realized this herself right after hearing her own words, for she followed up without a second's wait with an apology, "Ah, sorry. I still haven't decided what to transform into instead... But, excuse me for saying one more thing with this voice, but I think that instead of apologizing, you should ask Soraru if he finds the nickname acceptable. Perhaps, even, other things could be asked as well... Better to have asked than to have never." [3/10]

Hooded lids, the bells ringing upon wrists, hidden and muffled by the sleeve of the kimono raised in front of the mouth in though. Certainly, however, Kagerou smiled behind the other side. She was turned down, and for that, she naturally felt unease. However, sparks of interest flashed through those sapphire eyes as she caught the change in Hono's presentation of himself. [4/10]

"But if no one speaks of it, would anything even... well, nevermind. As you wish," Kagerou relented. She could wish for more, but it was only appropriate for a stranger such as her to push so far. Judging from the way Hono held himself before her, no matter the form he took, it was clear to tell that his answer was final and his understanding complete. In that straight back and unwavering eyes, the message was universal. "Thank you, Hono, for speaking your mind." [5/10]

A pause followed, made up of words taken back. She had been about to also thank Hono for being able to identify so clearly between herself and Soraru before realizing that he had probably only meant Soraru, and boy, that would have been an embarrassing mistake to make.

She chuckled as she changed the topic, the hues of her eyes changing with the tides. As azure turned violet then scarlet, she chirped, "In that case, Hono, could you be my angel on my shoulder for a bit?". Specks of gold popped into the red like little stars, bleeding through the initial hue until dark gold filled the irises completely. "So using someone's body solely for their looks is objectifying them, but what if I was using their appearance cuz I'm feeling a little petty and want to embarrass them?". The bells upon the growing wrist rang like laughter behind Kagerou's words as she grew even taller and her hair even longer. Soraru's appearance had been vague, based on a memory of but one memorable night, with the gaps filled in with generic knowledge. This new body came with much more detail, however, a more practiced form. [6/10]

Giving the distance Hono's tone requested but keeping her eyes fixed on the Kumo nin, Kagerou's transformation continued. Deep black hair lightened with an infusion of brown, the color coming out stronger at the tips. The youthful features of the young samurai aged, soft features sharpening as they also changed in shape and size to create a completely different face. What had sharpened softened once more as the final pieces were set in place. Like the previous form, this one also had ever so slightly feminine features, but of a different form and, certainly, different mannerisms. An air of aloofness hung even around the smile Kagerou maintained. Slightly taller with longer hair than before, the once smooth hair now had shorter strands that rested upturned, waving in the air with every movement of the head or body.

Looking upon Hono with a liveliness that was not of the individual she had taken the form of, Kagerou smiled with keen interest, inviting the tactical precision of Hono's gaze with an amiable one of her own. This reaction was a little stronger than she had expected, but she enjoyed it nonetheless. Enjoyed, and perhaps more importantly, respected and appreciated it. "Of course our enemies deserve respect, they live, breathe, and think just as we do, and even if they didn't, if they have the capacity to be our enemies, then I'm sure they are equals enough to garner the same respect. Then there's the one who I spoke of earlier, who deserves far more respect than that from me," her words flowed out calmly. She spoke as if she had not taken much thought, but her eyes seemed to scrutinize Hono in even more detail at the turn of the independent clause.

Folding her newly calloused hands into the sleeves of the kimono, Kageorou added, "I don't know myself how I feel about the person I am speaking of, and so, I cannot really say if I think they deserve such treatment. But overall, I would say no. They don't deserve to be embarrassed in that way, without their knowledge or the opportunity to defend themselves. I dare say, they get more than enough of that."
