The guy had a heart of gold, soft and only good if it’s refined into something. Marcus looked to him for a long moment and then grinned evilly, “Hmmm pride maybe, but that’s just a front. She was missing her midget and what not. Now that she’s back, you REALLY think that all those lonely nights have gone without a few pieces of… free time? I mean, those robes are great for hiding things you know… maybe a few things of a pleasurable sort.”
Marcus released the Nara and took a swig of his drink. He stepped off a little and looked over his shoulder, “Hmmm haven’t you ever wandered why you’re the only guy she doesn’t behead with her mouth? Hehehe man you really are dense. If I had been on a team with a hottie like that… I can promise you Elrude would have a good amount of brothers and sisters, let me tell you.” He laughed a bit to himself, the same obnoxious laugh.
“I mean, if you don’t want her, that’s fine I suppose. It’s being a good friend… a stupid one but a good one. I just don’t see how you could let a nice little piece of tail like that get away really. I’d probably have her banned from the Hyuuga household for all the dirty stuff me and her would be doing. Hmmm wonder if she’d be into doing a few movies…”
Another attempt and insighting anger in him. Marcus realized that causing himself to become the focus of the Nara’s anger might not achieve his goals but at the same time… there was a chance. He might go to report how ‘disgusting’ marcus was to the Hyuuga and, in a slip of words, let his true feelings out. If it didn’t work, Marcus already had a backup… bluntness was wonderful.

Several more veinpops appeared on the Nara's face - was this even possible...? For a moment there, Shikamori really did look like he was about to hit Marcus...the sheer fury radiating made even Zephyr stiffen slightly (the slight exclamation mark of surprise)...even though the Senju knew his Student well, ten years of separation is a long time, and perhaps the Hokage suspect if there was even possibly a chance that the Nara would lose his cool... But instead, taking several deep breaths, Shikamori met Marcus' gaze calmly.
"You misunderstand." He said, his voice quiet. "She already knew, long ago...but between she and I, we are only friends." It wasn't easy keeping secrets from a Hyuuga, after all. "The one she loves...had always been Museifu..." Shikamori looked away. "I would have preferred for her to be happy...but nothing good ever comes from a Uchiha being involved with a Hyuuga..." A pause. "He misunderstood, too. As friends and teammates...Yuuko and I spent a lot of time with each other... Perhaps I should've told Sei that...but..."
Turning his head slightly aside, Shika then spoke to Zephyr.
"You don't have to worry, sensei...that boy has the same face as his father..." He did not need to see Yokou's stricken expression. "Even if it means just protecting her...for a little longer..." And in return to Marcus. "She's not as strong as you think." Too many scars remain, from Museifu's betrayal. So...if you shall ever hurt her...
He wouldn't forgive the Taida Lord.

His fun... she was dead. A limp figure of a creature upon the floor. That had been Marcus' fun. His head hung low with the evil swirls of despair almost literally floating behind him. "Ahhh man."
Marcus sat up, his normal vacant look upon his face as he glanced off down the hall way and scratched his head, "I was hoping to piss you off enough to go spill your guts to her about how much you hate me and love her. But damn..." Marcus walked back over to Zephyr and plucked the tray from his hands.
Taking the last sip of his drink he plucked out another from the tray and handed it back. Funny enough, without intention, the cups now spelled 's**t.'
"Well this is a fine how do you do... I've been around lots of women like Dark Soul (a new nickname?) but never had any real interest in them. Business only ya know? Hmmm but can't ask you Shika-chan cause that'd be like ripping open an old wound and poring salt laced acid on them and stiring with a stick."
His eye's would then shift to Zephyr, "And you... well your to old for this conversation grandpa. I really don't feel like going and getting you some viagra or something..." Marcus sighed as he rubbed his temples and walked back off to the class.
"He's never been good with telling a woman how he feels." Of all people, the Hyuuga of his group had arrived seconds after Marcus left. She huffed a bit and looked from the Nara to the Senju, "I take it that you two don't care to reveal Marcus' true feelings to the b***h and I'd keep it that way. It... would work out best for everyone. Marcus is much to dirty and random for the little pristine princess you two try to shield. His very existance would threaten to shatter her world. And Marcus... well he just doesn't need such a stupid woman in his life. So lets just keep them seperate ok? Doesn't seem like you'll have much of a hard time finding ally's in such an endevor. There are dozens in both the ranks of Konoha and Iwa that would sooner die than see the two villages become bonded. I'm sure there are hundreds that would sooner go to war than see the little princess taken off the market by such a man as Marcus."
Getsue... was a plotter. That was sure. She had come up with many of the story lines for Marcus' movies but beyond that, she had done a bit of strategy training and planning in the past... her sore past. She took a deep breath and looked to the Konoha shinobi. She would glance to Zephyr, only now remembering him as the Kage and give a courtesy bow but a half assed one. It read volumes and most of them read, "This is for your rank only, nothing more." And with that, she began to walk off... another sign of somewhat respect.

((Haha what're you talking about? Over 300 reflex save? I could totally do that! -is lying out his a**- And you're supposed to not hate your Kage! People just do it anyways <.< ))
Shadow kept smiling, death was an interesting topic. Especially the death of an older brother figure like himself. Shadow looked into the boys eyes, not sure how to say it... He just couldn't tell him that what he had to do might just kill him in the process. Shadow felt he had stuck himself in a difficult situation, funny considering he was trying so hard to do just the opposite. Shadow simply nodded his head and chuckled at the boys worrying, deciding to talk about the scars a little bit later. He put his hands together and a puff of smoke surrounded him. In a moment Reimei was standing face to face with Reimei, right down to the last scar on the pale arm. Even a sad teary eyed look in his face. However that only lasted a moment, before a bright smile crossed Shadow's face, blowing his disguise using Henge.
Now i have the same face as Otou and you too! But i'm not either of you, i'm Zin Shadow. A petty thief, and self taught Shinobi! You're Akeru Uchiha, the destined child to save the Uchiha's from their fallen ways! He clapped his hands together and in a puff of smoke, he was back to the black spiky haired kid he was a moment before. It isn't your fault cause this wasn't your choice. If i have to leave, then it's mine and mine alone. He then grabbed his arm and looked at it, simply sighing a little to himself. I don't get you. When you act crazy, you have a goal to act towards, when you act normal you have a name to redeem. Either way, death seems like a stupid way to get there. Don't be silly
It was around that time that Shadow noticed the puppet lurking behind them. His eyes went wide, as he had what could best be called Shell Shock. A shiver went up and down his spine as he recalled the events at the Chuunins. What was with this place and puppets? He quickly shook it off, figuring it to be some stupid kid playing tricks... However he then noticed no visible person controlling it, it seemed positively haunter... Jumping up to his feet, Shadow put a fist is an opened palm like just getting an idea, showing a surprised look on his face. I've figured it out! Iwagakure is haunted! Quick! Little Brother, get some Garlic and a cross! Emergency Exorcism! I guess this could be called Shadow's way of saying 'what's up?'

The puppet... no, not a puppet but rather Crystal looked to Shadow. She then moved to look to the others that were there. She had been so caught up following Shadow that she didn't notice Marcus exit. A quick step back and she was alone again until Getsue appeared. In almost a streak of motion, she would seem to just appear behind Getsue, using her as a shield.
Getsue looked down to Crystal and smiled a bit, "You're hopeless you know that? You can't stalk people then freak out when they notice you."
Crystal's face... or rather the shy mask peaked out from behind Getsue and seemed to peer at Shadow, through him... There was then... a light giggle.

The Nara quirked an eyebrow, seemingly saying 'that's your idea of fun?' with the gesture. "Hate is a strong word." Said the Nara, softly. "I would not throw it around." Museifu's betrayal...after all...left him wounds too... The Senju seemed to be staring - rather curiously however - at the tray in his hands, an eyebrow quirked as well...
Shikamori addressed his teacher, when Marcus had departed for the classroom. "Sensei. Let's go, shall we...?" But then that woman showed up...he would never think of her as a Hyuuga even if that was the case...nothing like Yokou at all, thinking she was the only one with bitter scars to the world... The hallways were veiled with shadow and quickly, he had taken up the pose for his Shadow Possession...only to stop at Zephyr's raised palm. The gesture clearly read 'hear her out'.
Huh?
What...?
What she said surprised him...that Marcus...in love with her? Yokou? Yokou may be extraordinarily beautiful - that was true - but surely there were many more other girls who would want... Ah. And then...it made sense...this woman...
...she was the same as him...
Whatever scars involving the clan was one thing...but the other...
"Whatever comes to pass..." Replied the Nara, calmly, his mysterious words lingering in the air.
If Yokou loves Marcus...he would not interfere...
After all...all he wanted...was for his most precious person to be happy...for her to smile again...
It was fine...wasn't it...? Even if it wasn't him...
Zephyr was eerily silent...he did not even protest with Marcus' joke on his age... How could he not be...? He...knew...Yokou...she... And Marcus...he suspected it...but to have it confirmed now by that Hyuuga... Aw, shucks. This was going to be tough, wasn't it? Both ends were quite stubborn...and there were so many other ends that are going to get hurt...
Was it really impossible? For everyone to be happy?

"A...keru..." The boy mouthed the word too...fingering gently the golden kunai around his neck. The single word that was carved into the medal...the name he was born with and would bear. "Then...let Akeru come with aniki..." A soft pause. "Reimei can only cry for aniki to stay...but Akeru will follow..." From the beginning, after all...Uchiha were meant to wander...
The boy closed his eyes. "That person back there...he would understand, wouldn't he...?" Ah. He had meant Zephyr. However...the emotional moment was kind of disrupted by... Huh? Ghosts? The boy turned...staring at Crystal directly for a full moment...and stumbled back, hiding beside Shadow, terrified... "G-ghost!" The boy detached the amulet from his necklace and began waving it. "Ehm! Ghost-san (Ms. Ghost)...Rei-Akeru...haven't been a very good boy but promises to behave better..."

[[hmmm well now... just gotta wait till the students come back...]]
Crystal would see Getsue walking off and begin to follow her. The entire time, her head turned, facing Shadow. It was a lot like the exorcist movie in that as her body moved on, the head continued to turn to keep looking at Shadow... even when it looked like the neck would have snapped on a normal person.

Shadow looked at his little brother in the eye, obviously contemplating what to say. Would it be fair to bring his little brother along with him? Well, the obvious answer was no. This had little to nothing to do with his kid brother, this was his and Karn's duty. However was it right to just leave him here? He obviously needed someone to lean on and be supportive. However was Shadow that person? He didn't know... And even while he was deciding this he had that damned shy guy ghost! Watching! He would have peed his pants if he was younger!... Younger being around 16... He shuttered as she left the area. He looked back down to his brother, only smiling again.
Akeru, Reimei, you're the same. You can cry while following, for all i care. Either way, i think there are some things you need to do first. However, know that no matter what happens, when you're ready i will take you in. However, no matter what, i want you to know i'm okay, got it?

"Then Reimei would work hard...so that..." His voice trailed off. "...so that he can come with Shadow-nii." It was only rather unfortunate the boy did not seem to realize exactly what 'working hard' means. As among those of the shinobi rank, only those with Sennin privileges are allowed to leave villages for undeterminant amounts of time. And the pathway from Genin to Sennin...it should be left that it was just a very, very long one...
But then...there's certain privileges Akeru obviously did not realize he have. With the Hokage as his god-father, Zephyr could always buy the boy time where as renewing traveling visas with the pestering Council is concerned... However...either way... "Reimei has to first become Genin, right?" The boy looked back.
"..."
"Takani-san and Yuu-nee..." A soft pause. "Three days. I'll fulfill the Genin requirements in three days. I will become Genin in this village, but I will not bear Iwa's symbol..."
