RPG Fallen Leaves-Cell 1, Mission#1 [PG-L]

[Ezekiel]

[CENTER][FONT=Century Gothic][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]The Hokage ruffled his papers as the new Rookie Cell walked into the hall where missions were being handed out. He smiled at Sasuke, who simply nodded, and began reading out the task once the four ninja were standing in front of him.

[B]"Mr and Mrs Habiki are going on a day trip, and have asked that we send one of our Cells to look after their six children,"[/B] The Hokage smiled as a couple of the young Genin twitched at the word 'children', [B]"This is a D rank mission, as I'm sure you understand, and shouldn't be too difficult. The couple have left a list of things you need to do in the house, and I have a copy here." [/B] at the, he handed a piece of paper to Sasuke, who tucked it away neatly into his vest.

[B]"You all understand that these are young, impressionable children, yes? I don't want any messing around."[/B] the old man look around meaningfully as the Genin looked at their feet, all of them obviously wanting to be doing something a little more...exciting.


Sasuke sighed and placed a hand on Akira's shoulder, steering him out of the hall so that the other two followed. [B]"Let's make the most of this..."[/B][/COLOR][/FONT][/CENTER]

[SIZE=1][B]You've all got the PM, and I trust you're going to take note of my subtle hints. ^_~ Just have fun with these missions, 'kay? Nothing stressful or bloody just yet. Feel free to make up the kids ages/names.[/B][/SIZE]

[Lionheart]

[SIZE=1] Akira's very first mission and they have to watch six little kids for Mr and Mrs. Habiki. This was not something Akira saw coming and it was something he didn't want to do. The cell followed Sasuke-sensei as they followed a trail that headed west from the hall. It was a cloudless day as the sun shined over them. As they walked on, people that were doing their busy jobs, stopped and said a hello to the famous Sasuke-sensei. He each nodded to them as they smiled and went back to work.

The Habiki home was large, considering they have six children. Sasuke-sensei knocked on the door as Akira and the rest waited right behind him. Mr. Habiki answered the door, holding two babies in each arm. His eyes were red as blood as it look like he never had sleep in days.

[B]"Hello, we were sent to watch your children while your on you trip."[/B] Sasuke-sensei said as the man's face lit up. He turned his head to the right.

[B] "Honey, There here!!"[/B] He yelled as he ran back inside the house. The cell stared in amazement of how Mr. Habiki changed his expression from gloomy to happy.

[B]"Do you find that alittle.....Odd?"[/B] asked Munemura as Akira and Nariko looked at each other, then at Sasuke-sensei.

Mr and Mrs. Habiki both came to the door, with their huge grins. Mr. Habiki handed the two infants to Sasuke-sensei as he stand their with a confused gaze.

[B] "Well got to go. Have fun with them!"[/B] The two couple smiled one last time and darted off from the group. The group stood there for what seemed forever. That was a weird chain of events. They followed their sensei inside the house, which was a mess from hell. They went farther inside the house as they found the rest of the children sitting on a couch. They all stared at the cell. Akira examined the room and turned his attention to the children. He should find out their names. He walked over the boy at the end of the couch, who seemed to be around three.

[B] "Hello! I'm Kenta Akira, what's yours?"[/B] He smiled to show the kid that he was a nice guy, but it seemed he didn't buy that. The kid stood up on the couch and screamed. The kid then, pulled back and leaped onto Akira. He crawled over his chest and started to pull his long hair.

[B] "Get this thing off me!!"[/B] Akira yelped as he started to run around the room, trying his best to get the child off of him. The other children looked at each other and decided to help their brother. They all jumped off the couch and stormed onto Akira as he fell down to the ground. Munemura was laughing as Nariko turned to Sasuke-sensei.

[B] "Should we help him?"[/B] She asked as Akira started to roll across the ground, trying to get the little devils off of him.

[B]"Why? It's better for them to attack him, then them attack all of us."[/B] He answered as he took the little ones to the kitchen.[/SIZE]

[Cyriel]

[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Nariko was definitely not impressed by the mission outline, but who was she to complain? But really, babysitting children? She didn?t even know that that was in a ninja?s job outline. Clearly this was not going to be the most glamorous thing in the world?

[B]?Did you find that a little?odd??[/B] Munemura asked, as Mr. Habiki rushed into the house to collect his wife. Two seconds later the Habikis were gone, and the cell ventured into the house. Looking around her, Nari could only imagine how long the floor had gone without cleaning. Strange smells emanated from unseen rooms around the house, and Nari?s step became increasingly cautious.

The Habiki children, except for the twin infants that Sasuke-sensei was holding, were all seated on a low couch. Akira was the first one to break the awkward silence; Nari held her breath as he approached one of the children. It took mere seconds before Akira disappeared under a mass of brats, all who were howling what seemed like demonic battle cries. Munemura started laughing at the outrageous sight.

Nari turned to Sasuke-sensei in confusion; she had never handled children before: [B]?Should we help him??[/B]

[B]?Why? It?s better for them to attack him, then for them to attack all of us,?[/B] he answered nonchalantly, before walking into the kitchen with the twin infants still in his arms. Nari and Munemura stood for a few more minutes, unsure of what to do. Not to mention, they wanted to avoid the small typhoon that had engulfed Akira.

It wasn?t until Nari noticed that one of the boys was eyeing them that she jumped into action, backing away towards the door to the kitchen, [B]?Umm?I think I?ll go help Sasuke-sensei??[/B]

[B]?What? Where are you going? Don?t you dare leave me here!?[/B] Akira?s voice yelped out, slightly muffled under the weight of various bodies that were still pummeling him. [B]?Ouch! Why you little??[/B]

At this, Nari couldn?t help but laugh a little, [B]?Be careful about your language, Kenta Akira. After all, the Hokage told us that these are young, impressionable children, remember??[/B]

Akira tried to reply, but his answer was indiscernible under the shrieks of the children.

[B]?I?ll leave you with him, then, if that?s okay???[/B] Nari asked Munemura hesitantly. She still didn?t know these two very well, but she knew she had to start somewhere.

Munemura nodded, keeping the mass of children in his sight at all times, [B]?Yeah, I?ll call you if he stops breathing.?[/B]

It drew another laugh from Nari, and she smiled openly now. [B]?Alright then; oh, and be careful about your hair ? that was Akira?s downfall, it seems,?[/B] she said, pointing to Munemura?s dark brown hair. He nodded, and Nari went into the kitchen, peering around the corner carefully before she spotted Sasuke-sensei. Sasuke-sensei beckoned to her, and she slowly proceeded to come closer.

A strange smell hit her nostrils, and she almost gagged. Holding her nose, she looked around Sasuke-sensei, who had laid both infants on a mat. [B]"What in the world is that smell?"[/B]

Sasuke-sensei?s face was stone, and he handed her a white cloth, [B]?Excrement.?[/B]

Nari held the cloth for a second, before recognizing that it was a diaper.
[I]Wait a minute?he can?t be serious. There?s no way I can change a diaper![/I]
[B]?Shouldn?t these things be potty-trained??[/B]

[B]?They?re still much too young. Now get started,?[/B] Sasuke replied, as he got to work.

Nari looked down at the baby, who seemed like he was sleeping. Then his eyes snapped open, causing her to jump. She glanced over at Sasuke-sensei, who was watching her, eyebrows slightly raised. Gritting her teeth, Nari turned back to the baby, and started to slowly undo the diaper? Suddenly her eyes widened, and she yelped as she jumped back.

[B]?Nariko! What?s wrong??[/B] Sasuke was instantly on alert. Munemura?s face appeared around the corner.

[B]?There ? there? There?s a worm in the baby?s diaper!?[/B] she said, shaking as she pointed.

[B]?What??[/B] Sasuke took a look, and then turned to her with disbelief. [B]?You?ve got to be kidding me? Are you telling me that you?ve never seen?a boy?s?uh?male?genitalia?umm?a guy?s private parts??[/B]

Nariko shook her head, [B]?No, why would I??[/B]

Munemura could barely contain his laughter, when suddenly a wooden block thrown by one of the children clocked him in the head. He disappeared again, and dozens of thumps were heard, along with Akira?s tortured cries.

[B]?Well Nariko, there?s nothing to worry about. Just change the diaper,?[/B] Sasuke said, returning to his work.

[B]?What??[/B] Nari?s face was incredulous. [B]?No way! I?m not looking at that thing again! It?s disgusting!?[/B]

Sasuke turned to her, and then shook his head, [B]?Alright then, I?m done with this one. I?ll cover your eyes while you change the diaper, so that you don?t have to look, ok??[/B]

Nariko sighed, and then gathered her courage, [B]?Fine, I?ll do it.?[/B] She waited as Sasuke sat behind her, shielding her eyes with one hand. She could still see the baby through the cracks in his fingers, but didn?t see the ?worm? again, thankfully. As she was working, the baby started to gurgle and smile. There was another series of thumps from the other room, and both Nari and Sasuke were distracted for a moment. Nari turned back, just in time to see a stream of yellow fluid aimed directly at her head.

She shrieked, and ducked out of the way in the nick of time. But then she looked at Sasuke? A vein had started pulsing on his forehead.

[B]??Sasuke-sensei???[/B] she asked tremulously.

She had a very, very bad feeling about this mission.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]OOC: Sorry it's so long :animeswea And I hope you don't mind the shower, Sasuke-sensei ^_~[/SIZE]

[Sakura]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Sasuke read the scroll and felt the muscle in his left cheek twitch. He took a deep breath and accepted the mission as was a Jounin's duty, and he nodded to the Hokage before they left, steering the three disappointed students out of the building.

The four of them swiftly made it to the Habiki household and knocked on the door. Sasuke was shocked to see the disheveled look of Mr Habiki before his face lit up at the knowledge of who they were. The man and his wife rushed from the house in a flurry, depositing two infants into Sasuke's arms as he stared in confusement.

The four of them stood and stared before the infants began squirming in Sasuke's grip, he remembered they were on a mission and walked through across the threshold. He shifted the children in his arms and looked at the group on the couch. Sasuke was considering what to say to them, since he didn't do well with children when Akira spoke.

[B]"Hello! I'm Kenta Akira, what's your name?"[/B] he said, smiling widely. Sasuke smirked, he reminded him of Naruto at that moment.

One of the boys stood, emitting a warcry and pouncing onto Sasuke's student. His siblings took a second to register the situation before joining the fray. The teacher watched for a while before turning to head to the kitchen.

[B]"Should we help him?"[/B]

[B]"Why? It's better for them to attack him, then them attack all of us."[/B] he replied easily, walking into the other room.

Not too long later, Nari joined him as he'd started changing the diaper of one of them. Sasuke twitched, he couldn't believe his mission was to babysit a group of children, this mission was worse than all the D Ranks he had gotten as a Genin.

It took him a while before he got Nari to change the diaper, being upset by seeing the little boy's........genitalia. Sasuke was paying more attention to the sounds from the other room, just in case he was needed, he was incredibly surprised when his upper torso was soaked in a golden liquid. His eye was constantly twitching and a vein pulsed on his forehead. He'd taken his hand away from Nari's eyes and she finished doing up the diaper, staring at her teacher.

[B]"...Sasuke-sensei?..."[/B] she asked timidly.

He clenched his fists and took a number of deep breaths, calming himself so he didn't get upset at the children. When he felt calm enough, he walked over to the sink. The man pulled off his navy blue shirt which he had a large number of, and peeled off the metal plated gloves. The muscles on his torso rippled as he moved, wringing the liquid from his shirt. He turned on the tap and soaked the material and wrung it. He repeated it several times before he was satisfied, spreading it out over the sink to dry, then he washed his gloves and lay them beside the shirt.

His arms came up and he tightened the forehead protector, twisting his neck, popping the vertebrae. Sasuke turned around to look at Nari, she was still holding onto the little boy and had a blush on her face. Sasuke raised an eyebrow but walked over to the cupboards, searching through them for some baby food.

He returned with some jars, twisting off the lids and getting spoons. He tapped Nari on the shoulder because she wasn't paying attention, she jumped and looked at him but her eyes followed down his chest to his 8-pack, she blushed and looked away again. Sasuke smirked and rolled his eyes passing her one of the jars. They started feeding the boys until Sasuke felt the chakra level of Akira rise rapidly. He quickly put the jar down and ran to the other room, calling to Nari to take care of the infants.

Sasuke activated Sharingan and started to form the katas of a juken, halting when he saw that Akira had activated a stopping ninjutsu, freezing the children. He crawled away from the monsters and panted, staring at them.

[B]"Akira...who've you been watching?"[/B] Sasuke asked, knowing he would have picked it up from someone.

[B]"I-I don't know."[/B] he answered honestly. [B]"I got annoyed at them pulling my hair and I don't know, they just became like that."[/B]

Sasuke sighed and lectured him about keeping calm with the children, which was when they asked why he wasn't wearing his shirt. He explained the situation and told him that he had kept calm too. Akira understood and Sasuke swiftly activated a number of katas, using Kai to cancel the freezing jutsu.

Sasuke watched Akira and told Munemura to help Nari in the kitchen while he helped Akira with the larger group of children. The boy nodded and walked into the other room, the man turned to the demons that had started to chase his non-user student and sighed, it would be a looooong day ahead of them.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Dodeca]

[SIZE=1]Just the sight of Akira being set upon by a child less than half his size would have kept Munemura amused all day. So it was only natural that, when he was beaten to the ground by a gang of them, he almost fell over with laughter. It didn't take Sasuke-sensei long to leave with the two infants, and Nari wisely decided to follow him a few minutes later.

[B]?I?ll leave you with him, then, if that?s okay???[/B]

Munemura nodded. He didn't want to miss out on Akira getting 'better acquainted' with the kids, and he'd be damned if he was going to help with the infants. He'd heard plenty of stories of his own infancy that had made him cringe, and wasn't particularly thrilled at having to experience them firsthand. ?Yeah, I?ll call you if he stops breathing.?

She laughed lightly and smiled, and Munemura couldn't help but smile too, especially with Akira fighting a losing battle - rather noisily - in the background. [B]?Alright then; oh, and be careful about your hair ? that was Akira?s downfall, it seems,?[/B] He nodded again, and after one last look at Akira and his new 'friends', Nari wandered into the kitchen to help Sasuke-sensei.

Only a few seconds later a high-pitched yelp came through the kitchen door, and both Akira and Munemura turned their heads to find the source - until the former's head was yanked back to the ground with a heavy thud. Though Munemura had been kind of expecting some reaction from Nari, it had certainly came sooner than he expected. He was curious as to what exactly had set her off, and poked his head around the corner to find out.

Nari's eyes were wide open, and she pointed reluctantly - and apparently quite nervously - at one of the infants. [B]?There ? there? There?s a worm in the baby?s diaper!?[/B]

Sasuke-sensei just stood there, looking completely lost, [B]?What? You?ve got to be kidding me? Are you telling me that you?ve never seen?a boy?s?uh?male?genitalia?umm?a guy?s private parts??[/B]

Nari shook her head,[B] ?No, why would I??[/B]

Munemura allowed himself a little giggle, but lost control of it almost as soon as it started. He leant down to try and catch his breath, when one of the kids screamed and hurled a well-aimed woodblock straight into the back of his skull. Rubbing his head, he turned around only to be struck by an even larger block - which would have been considerably more painful if it hadn't glanced off of his forehead protector.

[B]"Argh!!"[/B] Akira yelled, as all four of them pounced on him, beating him with anything that they could get their hands on. [B]"No, that - Oww! - don't do that it's not - Argh!!"[/B] With his free hand he started slapping the floor frantically, while the children experimented in a similiar way with his face.[B] "Munemura-a!"[/B]

As much fun as it was to watch, Munemura resigned himself to finally at least make some effort to intervene. On his first step forward all four of the children stopped attacking Akira - much to his relief, understandably - and stared at him. A few seconds later he decided that it was safe to keep walking, and kneeled down in front of the smallest - and presumably the youngest - of the children. They didn't seem quite so bad up close, and they looked quite cute when they weren't screaming.

Bringing himself down to the same height as the child, Munemura leaned forward slightly and smiled. After all, everyone knows you should always smile around kids. [B]"Hey there little guy! Say... how about we play nice with Mr. Akira now, okay?"[/B]

The child stared blankly at Munemura for a moment afterwards, and he almost thought he'd gotten through to the kid until he suddenly yelled and pulled Munemura's forehead protector down over his eyes. Both shocked and confused, he stumbled backwards while the child and one of his brothers tugged on his trouser leg, causing him to lose his balance completely. Munemura was even more surprised by the speed at which they managed to get his trousers around his knees, and then by the dull pain in the back of his head as he fell back into the wall.

As Munemura struggled to dignify himself, all he could hear was the relentless screaming and yelling of the children, and Akira's panicked voice as he shuffled around on all fours trying to get away from them - until all of a sudden he heard footsteps rushing into the room from the kitchen. Nudging his protector back up to a comfortable height, he caught a glance of Sasuke-sensei, who was looking down into the group of...

[B]"Wha-?!"[/B] Munemura quickly clasped his hands over his mouth, wincing as he knocked his head against the wall a second time. It wasn't every day you saw a group of children, even very irritating ones, frozen on the spot.

[B]"Akira...who've you been watching?"[/B]

[B]"I-I don't know. I got annoyed at them pulling my hair and I don't know, they just became like that."[/B]

Munemura grumbled to himself miserably as Sasuke-sensei went on to lecture Akira on the importance of staying calm and self-control, too busy moaning about his groggy head to pay attention to the details. When he finally let his attention wander back on course Sasuke-sensei was looking down at him, indicating towards the kitchen.

[B]"Munemura, go and give Nari a hand. I'll take over in here."[/B]

Clambering to his feet, he nodded clumsily and walked into the kitchen, where Nari was trying to feed the infants. But judging by the mush splattered across her outfit and all over the floor, things hadn't been going too well.

Turning briefly, she smiled weakly and pointed towards an open jar on the table. [B]"Take that one to Taisuke, I don't think Sasuke-sensei finished with him."[/B]

Munemura looked down at the jar and its contents with a fairly even mixture of intrigue and disgust, which settled closer to disgust once he caught the pungent smell it gave off. [B]"Ugh... Taisuke?"[/B]

Nari turned around again and sighed. [B]"The one I'm [I]not[/I] feeding, maybe?"[/B]
[B]
"Oh... right... I knew that."[/B]

Regardless of how many times he tried to feed the infant, every attempt ended up in more of the food being splattered into his own mouth than Taisuke's. The taste of it on his tongue made him want to heave, but the only way he could deal with it politely was to swallow it, and let it fight it out with his stomach. After a good seven spoonfuls went to waste, he finally gave up, and picked Taisuke up, propping him gently on his shoulder.

[B]"Uh.. what do we do now? Burp 'em?"[/B] Munemura asked, as the infant pulled itself a little higher, tugging gently on his cheek. Nari simply shrugged, so he decided he might as well give it a go.

[B]"OK, just hold tight little buddy."[/B] Munemura looked up aimlessly as he tapped the child on the back,[B] "Ah! There you go. Isn't that better-"[/B]

Munemura froze mid-sentence, and the colour began to drain from his face as he felt something warm slowly ooze down the back of his neck.[B] "Ugh.. I... I think I'm gonna puke..."[/B]

The baby babbled and waved his arms cheerfully after being placed back in his seat, while Munemura quickly rushed outside through the nearest door. Nari burst out laughing as he fell to his knees outside, while the other infant happily amused itself by mashing food between its palms and pasting it onto her clothing.[/SIZE]

[Lionheart]

[SIZE=1]These children were not human. What made them want to attack Akira for? All he asked was what your name was. This mission was a nightmare. Though, he needed to stay focus and take control of this situation. At least Sasuke-sensei was with him instead of Munemura. That guy laughed at him half the time. Then again, Akira would have laughed too if it wasn't him. He quicky turned to a hall, right of the den. He was though, trapped as all of the doors were closed and there was no way out. He turned his head slightly behind him as he saw the children smiling evilly.

[B] "Sasuke-sensei! I need your help!" [/B] He pleaded as the inched closer and closer towards the young ninja. Sasuke-sensei entered the hall and folded his arms. He didn't seem he wanted ot help Akira.

[B] "See this as a challenge, Akira. Find a way out."[/B] Well, that was just great. The enemy showed more mercy then these brats. Need to think.

He placed his back against the wall as the children were now ready to pounce on their play toy. Maybe he could do that freezing jutsu he did, yet he couldn't remember how to preform it. Then his eyes widen as he saw a nice wooden desk next to Sasuke-sensei. Perfect. He preformed the hand seals as the kids ran towards their human toy.

[B] "Kawarimi no Jutsu!!"[/B] He roared as the demon-kids attacked, but their tiny fist hit something hard. Akira hide behind Sasuke-sensei as the children stared in wonder at the wooden desk. The body switch technique comes in handy.

[B] "Way to use your head."[/B] Sasuke-sensei whispered as the children searched the desk, thinking that Akira had hid inside of the wooden piece. [B]"Why don't you and the rest, go into the kitchen and cook something up for everything."[/B] Akira nodded, not wanting to play with those kids again.

Akira saw that the kitchen was a mess as well. He entered as Nariko was cleaning up the babies. Munemura was nowhere in sight. Did he give up on the mission? Akira would give-up as well when he had a chance.

[B] "Where's Munemura?" [/B] He asked as Nariko notice Akira in the room. He looked around the place, trying to see which cabinet stored the food.

[B] "He's outside. One of them puked over him, so he's probably doing the same."[/B] She said as she washed her hands over the sink. He chuckled alittle, while going to a cabinet near him.

[B]"What's up?"[/B] She asked as he searched through the each cabinet, seeing only empty cars of baby food. How do these people live?

[B]"We need to cook for the other four kids, while Sasuke-sensei watches them."[/B] Right on cue, Munemura entered the kitchen, clutching his stomach. He was extremely paled. Nariko's grin showed she was trying to hold her laughter. Munemura took a seat next to the babies, watching them carefully. He continued his searching when he stopped. He smiled as he turned to the others.

[B] "They have a ton of Ramen!!"[/B] He announced as he threw packs and packs on the table where Munemura was sitting at. Nariko nodded and pulled out a pan. Akira got the ramen ready, while Nariko put them into the boiling water. When they finished the process, they took a rest at the table. Munemura kept his eyes on the babies, while, Akira caught Nariko staring at him.

[B] "What?"[/B] he asked as she snapped away from her glaze.

[B]"Your eyes. The sharingan."[/B] She said as Munemura turned his attention at Akira. [B]"How did you get them?" [/B]

He stared at the table surface as he tried to find the words to answer her question. This was the question he was searching for. The answer was his goal. Is his parents and the Sharingan have something to do with each other? He will not give up, until he finds out everything. He sniffed and smelt the noodles.

[B] "The noodles are ready." [/B] He skipped her question and walked to the ramen. He hasn't know them enough to tell them anything. Munemura and Nariko got up from their seats and helped Akira with the hot Ramen. They placed the four steaming boils of ramen on the table as they went into the den to get the children. All four of them sat on the couch, quietly. The three stood in awe as Sasuke-sensei was standing in front of the couch.

[B] "Ramen is ready, sensei." [/B] said Munemura as Sasuke-sensei turned to him. He nodded and looked at the kids, who darted from the couch and to the kitchen. Akira waited for Sasuke-sensei as they started to eat.

[B] "What did you do?" [/B] Asked Akira as Sasuke-sensei folded his arms and stared at the kids. They all ate quietly, not making on peep.

[B] "Nothing...They just started to listen to me."[/B] Akira grinned as he turned away from his sensei, wondering what he did to those little demons.[/SIZE]

[Sakura]

[B]OOC:[/B] This post is kinda dull and nothing much happens, but I wanted it to get active again.

[COLOR=Navy]Sasuke folded his arms across his bare chest, watching the group of children scamper around the desk that Akira had replaced himself with. He smirked, he was learning. Shinobi have to know how to act in a situation where there's no time to think. He sent the boy into the kitchen to cook to give him a break from the monsters.

Only after a few minutes passed did the children give up on the desk, deciding he wasn't hiding in it somewhere. They all saw Sasuke just looking at them. The ringleader did another war cry and threw his arm forward, his index finger pointed at Sasuke. The Jounin lifted an eyebrow and watched as the four children ran forward wildly. His eyes turned blood red, signalling the use of Sharingan. Making a number of katas he activated Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, filling the room with Sasuke copies, each having Sharingan eyes.

[B]"Now children, you don't want to get punished do you?"[/B] the original Sasuke asked, standing in front of them.

The little kids trembled, looking at all of them. They shook their heads furiously in fear.

[B]"Good, because if you annoy me, I'll get angry, and if I get angry, I'll be more prone to punish you. Got it?"[/B] It was caring, but the children could hear the underlaying, threatening tone.

To emphasise his point about getting angry, he and all the clones activated the Cursed Seal. He breathed as the black marks spread out from the original bite area at the nape of his neck, it crawled along his chest, across his face, down his back, arms and legs. It was a fearsome sight for the small kids, a large group of men, all having black markings covering their bodies with freakish red eyes to match.

Sasuke pointed to the couch, [B]"Sit,"[/B] was the only syllable he said.

They cried out and weaved through the Sasukes, sitting in a row on the couch from oldest to youngest. The man smirked and dispelled the clones, he made the Cursed Seal retreat until his pale skin could be seen again. The cool charcoal colour returned to his eyes and he walked in front of the couch, looking down at the small faces.

He walked up to the end where the eldest sat, the leader of the attacks. He put his hand under the boy's chin and tilted the head up to meet his gaze.

[B]"Name?"[/B] he asked quietly.

[B]"S-Satoshi."[/B] he replied shyly, a tinge of fear evident in his voice.

Sasuke nodded and moved down the line, the second child was girl by the name of [I][B]Arika[/B][/I]. The third child was also a girl; [b][i]Rio[/b][/i]. The fourth was [b][i]Takeo[/i][/b], another boy, followed by the twins with [b][i]Taisuke[/b][/i] being the elder by minutes, and [b][i]Riku[/b][/i] as the youngest in the family.

Sasuke looked at his students as they entered the room, staring in awe at the quiet children sitting still on the plush couch.

[B]"Ramen is ready, sensei."[/B] Munemura announced.

Sasuke nodded and glanced at the kids, they jumped off the couch and ran into the kitchen. Cell 1 followed slowly and watched the kids eating silently. Akira asked him what he did to the children. Sasuke told him with a straight face that they just started listening to him, but he knew that Akira knew he was lying.

He watched the children for a while longer before walking to the sink where his shirt and gloves had been drying. He touched the material and was satisfied even though they still had some moisture in them. He untied his forehead protector and placed it gently on the sink, pulling his navy blue shirt over his head, and pushing his arms through. He put the Konoha protector on again and pulled on his gloves, his outfit was complete again.

Sasuke went back to watching the kids, wondering how long it would be before Mr and Mrs Habiki arrived home so they could leave.[/COLOR]
