Sakeme almost laughed when Elruda called Marcus an idiot. Is that the best insult she could muster? Honestly... that was weak too... But she didn't dare say it. Not even a minute later was she frozen, just as stunned as the young hyuuga's mother, seeing the porno magazing in the child's hands. Did she... did she honest read... that...? Watching her flip through the pages made Sakeme curious though, enough so that she unfroze herself and edges behind the girl, looking over her shoulder. Ignoring the pictures, she went straight for the text, flinching a time or two and then scowling and nodding. "Kid has a point... that stuff weak and cold... How could anyone get off on something that has no heart in it?" She shook her head and backed away. I can't believe I just looked at that thing. Now I'm going to hell, I just know it...

Marcus shrunk... where had the kid gotten that book? It was the copy he had but... oh hell, had she gotten ahold of it? Did he drop it or forget it some place? s**t... He swallowed hard. Sure he was an advacate for free love and what not but this was a kid for crying out loud. He didn't think she should be looking into this stuff until she was at least 9. He snatched the book back and rolled it up.
It took him a few moments to recompose himself but he soon looked to her, "You know full well you shouldn't have looked at this book. You're much to young to understand it." he looked off to the side, "Sides, you shouldn't be thinking about things like this yet... you should be out, having fun, doing as you please... that should be your life. At least... that's what I think."
Soon, a shift of chakra could be felt. Marcus tilted his head to the window, "Sooo... you bastards finally found me..."
"Yes sir... you must return to the Tower at once. You have much work to do sir." It was an ANBU that was outside the window.
Marcus began to scratch his head, "Ummmmm no. I don't wanna."
"But sir! You must! It is your duty to..."
"To what? Do the bidding of the councel? Let those old farts gnaw each others arms off till their denturs fall out for all I care. Iwa's doing fine and I'm doing my work my own way. Tell them to handle all the damn paper work."
"B...but sir!?"
"No buts. Your kage's spoken. Now, go get me some ice cream. The kind with the little caramel chunks in it."
Without another word, the ANBU was off. "Well that's my que to scoot. You kids have fun now ya hear?" Making a quick dash, Marcus was at the door and about to leave.

Yokou wasn't paying attention.
Instead, rather than behind Elruda, the flames of hell were burning...eh...brightly behind her. Her aura had turned murderous. A veinpop pulsed at her temple and she scowled. "I know who's responsible. I'm...going to...murder Sensei...!" Declaring this, cracking her knuckles, Yokou marched out towards the door, tearing it open. "Hun?! Mummy, calm down! He has nothing to do with it, honest! I took it from him! Mummy? Mummy!"
Elruda's jaw dropped, as a nail from the door's hinge fell off. Part of her was grateful that her mother wasn't a student of the same Taijutsu school as Uncle Zephyr, as the door didn't come right off its hinges, but another part of her now dreaded the poor fate of Uncle Zephyr. And the kanjis for an evil cackle seemed to have materialized and floated mysteriously behind her mother into the air.
Uh-oh.

Marcus turned. He looked to Yokou... he had seen those eyes before. A parent who's entire dream of keeping their little girl pure and simple for all eternity, not just broken but shattered and thrown in their faces as pieces of glass and left there to rot. I the porn business, you meet several people who have lives similiar to this.
In all honestly, he couldn't blame her. He wondered if he had a daughter if he would act in a similar fashion...he would like to think he'd be more understanding but in the end... he wasn't sure. Turning, he looked to the woman as she came to the door. There was havok being wrath about him thanks to this woman's rage and he knew that there weren't too many that would stop her. From what he had seen, her sensei would become strong and defensive... until he found out about why she was raging... then he'd shrink and run out of fear as he would feel bad for it happening. Either way, the end result was half the hospital being destroyed.
He just knew that it would come back to haunt him if he allowed it so he did the only thing he could think of... it was untested and he had no clue how to deal with this but...
*kiss* His warm hands caressed the silk-like skin of Yokou's cheeks. His lips, far softer than a man's should be, touched the flower-petals that were heres. They were locked in a kiss. If she saught revenge, then at least he would be the target and could flee to someplace less destructive... but he had to admit.
She was a great kisser.

Sakeme continued to watch the scene carefully. It seemed to her that Marcus didn't like the kid reading that disgusting stuff as mush as her own mother. Well maybe he disliked it a bit less than Youko, but he's Marcus... She found it funny that not too long after, Marcus blew off an ANBU by asking for icecream... She was half temped to ask for some too... but Mint, with fudge and crunched up chocolate cookies in it... Just for kicks... and she had a craving. She almsot lost her appetite when she saw the murderous glare of Lady Youko. Howly cow, she's going to kill everyone... mSomeone has to stop her... she'll destry the hospital looking for that freak of a sensei she has. Looking helplessly at Elruda, who pleadinga ttemps were not working, she watched as the Hyuuga made her way to the door, a dark and looming aura covering her now. Then the biggest shock of all. Are they... making out...? She watche dthe scene, eyes burning. It wasn't the thought of kissing that hurt her brain, but the two people in particular performing said act. Honestly.. an ex porn star and a lady from the prestigious Hyuuga clan. What opposites! All Sakeme could do now was grab the cild, to keep her from attacking marcus, and then covering her eyes, so she would have to watch. She was grateful that Marcus was getting in the way, as the old sensei would know what hit him if Youko got there. "Just let it go kid... He's saving your uncle's life... and he's gonna get the snot kicked out of him for it by you mom..." Atleast that's what one would assume... It would be so freaky and odd if she justr stood there and did nothing...

Time seemed to stop. For a long moment, she was just there...eyes wide, frozen in shock. Of all the things Yokou could've done in retaliation, however...a) slap him, b) punch him square in the face, c) either a or b plus screaming at him. Well, none of those fitted to Yokou's nature anyways, and she was rather more of the swift deliverance motto of her clan and not the screaming, kicking type. So what happened was d) - she fainted.
A red exclamation mark seemed to materialize above Elruda's head, followed by a sideways crown (when characters in animes notice something). Then, a clenched fist held below her chin, veinpops appearing all over Elruda's face. A scandalized scowl. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO OKAA-SAN, HUNH!? DIE!!" She screamed as she promptly pulled off her shoe and aimed it for Marcus' head. The article flew through the air the very same moment Sakeme wisely restrained her, Elruda still kicking and flailing like an angry pinara...
Sakeme's words seemed to have gone unheard...
---
Meanwhile in the room down the next hall, the nurse had scuffled away nervously once it became certain that the Hokage was furious over the unconsented examinations, and when she finally left... Zephyr huffed. Though it was by no fault of the Nara, he just wanted to vent some anger. So stomping into the bathroom in this room, he grabbed an empty bucket of water, filled it with icy cold water, stomped back out, and dumped it onto his unconscious student's head.
The Nara awoke screaming.
"What the heck was that for!?" Scowled Shikamori, furiously drying his hair and face a minute later, with a clean towel given to him by kind Ayame. "Nice to see that you're awake." Zephyr barked, rather sourly. And that was when Shikamori decided to be a good boy and not press any questions...whenever Sensei was in one of his rare brooding moodiness, he was not exactly the most affable of people.

Little bugger is tough to restrain... "Dang it Elruda! If I have to restrain you with genjutsu, so help me I will!" Taking a few wobbly steps back, pulling the child away from her passed out mother. "Lady Youko's fine. Better this than her going off and killing someone, right? C'mon kiddo... come back to your senses..." Damn she's so emotional. What the heck is wrong with her? Sakeme was utterly bewildered. Never having a family, this was a whole new experience for her... one she had no clue how to deal with. "Marcus! Get Lady Hyuuga on a bed or something and help me with the kid... Please!?!"She almost felt as if she were sliding forward from the force at which Elruda was trying to move towards Marcus and kill him. Sakeme knew she'd have bruises on her shins now from the kid's kicking feet.

The shoe flew straight and true. Afterall, he had been expecting a blast of chakra or a stab of a kunai... not a shoe. He glanced down to Yokou even after the shoe hit and drew blood. He picked her up and began laughing like a mad man as he placed her on the bed.
He tucked her in softly and then moved over to Sakeme, "Let her go..." he said still grinning. As Sakeme would release the girl, he would pick her up and over his shoulder, "Come on you, lets go find the big bad Hokage." he began to laugh more as he looked to Sakeme, "Keep an eye on her for me would you?" He pointed to Yokou and soon walked off.
Outside the door, he saw the nurse from earlier scampuring out of a room. His laughter stopped as he noticed this. Even with all of Elruda's flailing, he didn't flench but became a bit worried. What was causing the nurse to leave in such a manor. He soon moved to the door and poked his head in, "Howdy

Sakeme obeyed and let Elruda go. I hope he knows what he's doing. Watching him scop the child up and over his should was... interetsing? She didn't quite have a word for it. "Hai..." With her new orders to babysit, not the hyuuga princess, but Youko, all Sakeme could do was nod and do as told. Sighing slightly, she went over to Lady Hyuuga's side and sat in a chair next to the bed. So he's taking her to Lord Hokage then? Is he here too? Pondering this for a moment, she gazed out the hospital window. When the heck are we going home...?

The opertaion had began, and keiko was leaving as well he had no other reason to stay. SO he would rummage threw the room grabbing gauze, and other medical supplies and stuffing his coat full before heading out after keiko following behind her like he didnt do any thing.

Elruda struggled, not exactly pleased of being carried like a sack slung over the shoulder again, small fists pounding rapidly into Marcus' back, accompanied with unceasing kicks. "Let me go, you brute!!!!!" Filled the hall as a scowling and struggling Elruda was forcibly removed from the room by the chuckling Kage.
Perhaps Marcus' surprise also affected her, as suddenly, she stopped struggling. "Oh..." The little princess whispered, softly, as the nurse hurried past them. "Her aura's all...chaotic...like if something scared her..." She mumbled, half to Marcus, half to herself.
However, when they entered the room, Elruda was surprised to see Zephyr, in his true appearance, sitting grimly on the hospital bed. Her eyes widened. It wasn't that there was some physical deformity - oh certainly not, the young man before her eyes were perfect in every physical respect: he could not have been older than eighteen or nineteen, with pale perfect skin, so rare among the Senju clan in contrast to their Uchiha counterpart though occasionally chancing by among the generations, rich, long raven hair upswept in a high ponytail much like her mother...untame though looking perfect, and there was a certain wildness. And his eyes, usually a certain strange shade of emerald, were rather more golden than green...stunningly emerald with specks of gold.
Somehow, though the colour was lovely, it made Elruda's stomach turn...as if it was something that shouldn't be there...as if...as if...if there was a devil, this eye colour would have been his...
"The pictures okaa-san showed me..." Her tone grew shriller, partly in terror... "Not a day older!?" The Hokage seemed stricken at the child's words.
Zephyr looked away, saying nothing. Unconsciously drawing closer to Marcus as she carefully chewed out these words... "Was that what...Zephyr-jii-chan's Henge...was for...?" A slow nod answered her.
Though Marcus might've already suspected something, as the Senju king appeared much ridiculously younger than either of his two students, leading to two possible conclusions: either chronology was extremely messed up for those two generations, or something extraordinarily odd had happened... But the child's conclusion was needless to say, disturbing... Ten years...a decade had gone and passed...yet Zephyr had not aged a single day?
"If you understand...Elda-chiisai-hime..." He finally said, not unkindly. "Then please, tell no one."
"B-but! Did Okaa-san know...? Shika-jii-chan...?"
"Partly." Came the deadened response. A sigh escaped him, and Zephyr allowed himself to fall back on the bed, tiredly closing his eyes. "Isn't this great...even Iwa will know now..." He murmured to the ceiling.

"Know what?" Marcus began to look a bit abscent again. He began to pick his nose and walked over to Zephyr. As he did, he *magically* pulled another porno out. This one had an Nara chick in a dominatrix outfit on the cover. He placed the book on Zephyr's lap.
"Yea, it's pretty damn funny to know that the Hokage kept up an Advanced Henge for so long that he can't come fully out of it. Hehehe, I can just picture the looks on folks faces. Course, that also means that his chakra reserves gotta be friggin high as s**t. I'd hate to ******** with him." Marcus sat next to the man and, again, magically produced and object. A bottle of Sake with a date so old that it had naturaly started to fade to a black color. He offered it to Zephyr.
"Least... that's the story the way I heard it. What about you Hokage-chan?"
He was trying to smothe things over. He had a strange way of doing it but that was why he was always so good with it. No one expected the "Marcus Approach" as it had come to be known. He just smiled.

At first, it would seem to cheer the Senju up: “Ninja Dominatrix special edition? Volume 19 too! Hehehe...ah...” The laughter grew weak and his voice trailed off. “Thanks Marcus.” Said Zephyr, with a demure smile so different from his usual wide grins. It was around this point that Shikamori returned back into the main vicinity of the room, having spent quite some time in the bathroom drying out the icy water his Sensei had dumped on him. Noticing the porno magazine, one eyebrow twitched. With good reason too! But what disturbed him more was Zephyr’s apparent, out of character moodiness... “Sensei.” Piped in the Nara, chidingly. “I thought we been over this before...it doesn’t really matter that you were...”
His words stopped and suddenly, Shikamori looked surprised. “Hunh...I wonder why I didn’t notice it before... Sensei, you have another Henge on?” The Senju king laughed weakly. “Double Henge? I wish. No, Shika...except for the fact that my hair grew longer, I don’t look any different from when I left you guys twelve years ago, right?” The Nara did indeed look disturbed, struggling for words. “B-but...you visited occasionally...”
“Did I ever release the Henge during the yearly visits?”
With that, his student was silent.
He looked down at his hands folded neatly on his lap. “If Elda-chiisai-hime is scared of me, it’s fine. A pure child shouldn’t have to touch an inhuman thing...” And...did Marcus really mean for him to...?
For a long moment, Zephyr closed his eyes. He looked expectantly at the young Hyuuga Jounin in the room. “If I'm going to tell it, Elda shouldn’t have to hear this. Ayame-san, see to it. Either take the princess outside or cover her ears.” At this, the child looked indignant. Clutching to Marcus closer like a koala bear, she hissed at the older Hyuuga. She scowled. “Don't touch me! Elda stays here, for mummy!” And then, more demurely...her expression saddened, as she added: “...and because...she wants to hear...jii-chan’s story...”
Zephyr sighed, rubbing at his temple. So much for that... But by now... “Hokage-sama, forgive me for intruding as such on a personal matter...but...I believe...your people too deserve to know your true story.” Added the Hyuuga teenager, who had proceeded initially to take the princess away, now standing beside Marcus and Shikamori. “Yeah...besides, you can’t keep hiding in smokescreens forever, Sensei.” Shikamori added, with a smile. “So, will you finally tell the truth? Even before Museifu betrayed us, you left Konoha so suddenly...demanding the Council return to you the privileges that are a Sannin's rights...returning only once per year for the annual Sakura Festival. And...this appearance...”
“At that time...when our squad first met. You told us that you were different from us, that you were born at the laboratory...and not...to expect any favours "from a weapon". Yokou guessed that you didn’t want to tell us the whole story at that time. So we didn’t press for details.” A pause. “But if Sensei would...now...what is the meaning of this...?”
