Three Demons Meet

The Demon was walking towards the leaders office building where Xyxer had asked him to meet. There hadn't been anything else in the letter, just that he was needed to pay a visit. Hopefully this would net him his armor back as he had been waiting to make some changes on it after their battle had concluded. There were still ways to make his armor better now that he had come in contact with another full body armor wearer.

Walking up and going through the already open door he leaned against the post waiting on any sign that Xyxer was actually in the room.

"Honey, I'm home."

Xyxer currently had been seated in the throne of Tengakure, his back to the door and facing the window, his eyes ran over the village that was now under his control, and it did feel much like a home to the shinobi.. But it did not feel like his home. It could never be his home, it was merely a home that he would take precious care of until he could pursue other goals. It was, after all, one of the last locations where he could remember Sameonna, even if it was her final place of living.

Hearing a familiar voice behind him, he spun around on the chair much like a bond villain, his leg folded over the other with his hands clasped together, his finger tips bouncing off one another. "Youka.. I've been expecting you." He spoke calmly, before frowning, "Don't call me honey or I'll execute you, you clown." After the brief outburst of anger, he regained his composure and took in a deep breath, looking backwards to gaze upon his village once more before speaking again. "It's a beautiful place, isn't it. I've got a proposition to make to you, Youka."

So for the second time Maku had to considered the oddities of the shinobi universe.  So many people simply learned a technique, and wam bam thank you mam they were goddamn masters at it.  Never making a mistake like they had been born perfect or some shit.  Well, that wasn't Maku.  He was a regular old shinobi and sometimes.....well sometimes mistakes were made so what, ya wanna fight about it!!!!!

He had locked onto Youka's chakra signature despite the huge distance between them.  The cord that linked them through the mark seal was his anchor point as he pulled himself and the Youka clone through the twisting nether to meet up with his friend.  Hopefully he wasn't doing something important, like meeting with a kage or some shit.  Whatever he was doing though, was about to get a lot less graceful real quick.

In a brief glow of gold, Maku and the Youka clone would appear approx. 2 feet above the real Youka.  The clone would be underneath Maku, and thus would crash into the real Youka first.  Maku himself, who had finally started at least mildly getting the hang of this would fall on top of them both in a seated cross legged position, of course he would be looking towards the door.

Immediately his senses were assailed into by the wave of the powerful chakra that moved around him.     His own chakra, the clones, Youka's, and of course Xyxer's though he did not know the man yet.  If everything went as planned, because of Maku being graceful, he would still be sitting on both the clone and subsequently Youka.  Leaning back he would get his first look of this Xyxer, albeit he would be upside down.  "What's up badass, heard you made Youka do the no pants dance in a fight and shamed him for the village to see."  

Yea.....probably the best first line ever spoken to a kage.  It was obvious that of all the men in the room that Maku had the highest chakra, and while that was no clear indication of actual fighting ability, it should at least give an indication as to why Youka trusted Maku as an ally.  Even if the current situation was less than desirable.  On the outside however, Maku really wasn't all the much to look at in terms of an intimidation factor.  He was a 16 year old boy after all, still with a baby face.  With his head looking upside down, his golden hair merely hung down and moved as Youka and the clone surely began to struggle underneath him.  His attire was his traditional black suit with a green scarf around his neck.  His scepter hanging on his left hip.

Unless something odd happened, Maku would continue leaning, and reach his hands down.  Doing a sort of backwards cartwheel, he would leave his seat of the two Youka's and stand in front of this Xyxer.  He really was starting to feel like having more fun.......but perhaps that was all the snickering he kept hearing when all around him was silence.  His face was in a side ways grin, and he would hold his hand out in an attempt to shake Xyxer's hand, that is unless the man attempted to attack him or something crazy.

"Name is Maku Jemuzu, Leader of Yukigakure....Xyxer I can presume."  The only thing that was odd about Maku besides him being so young would be his eyes.  From the training he had put Youka's body he still had both his EMS activated.  His red and black eyes looked at this man, weighing what he saw.

The Demon opened his mouth to speak only to be cut of by the sudden presence of two more chakra signatures making their way into real space only a few inches above him. It gave him just enough time to raise both his hands using his ungodly strength to shuffle his other half to the side and stop Maku's decent with him sitting in the Demons Palm. It was really no trouble at all honestly as long as he had strength what else would he need? The Demon listened as Maku did his whole introduction not even responding to the smart remark he made as it was warranted at the time. After Maku would hop down from his hand the Demon would signal to Akuoy to get started with gathering the others now that he had a real way of getting in and out of the villages.

"I'm glad you could finally reach my real body Maku, I trust you have been good to it and shown it all it needs."

The Demon didn't even get to respond to the anger Xyxer had show at the begining, in all honesty he enjoyed it a lot as it allowed him the chance to mess with the leader more and more. His reaction was always priceless. After Xyxer would speak and shake Maku's hand if that was to be what happened the Demon would look back at Xyxer.

"What was it you meant by a proposition?"

(Akuoy exit transporting to Konoha)

Xyxer, whom was busy preparing his proposition for Youka whom was opposite of him, was rudely interrupted by the appearance of the.. other Youka he had abandoned at the gates of Shimagakure, and another fellow, this one was a blonde fellow.. Naturally, as Xyxer could timeline, he started the topic with his ring naturally boosting his chakra, making it effectively quite high (105 passively, of course) But that was not the end of his chakra boosting, oh no, in fact, the cross he had held Zachariah on was still slowly releasing his chakra back from itself and into the atmosphere, so currently 40 chakra was still held in the cross which would dwindle slowly, but surely, by 10 chakra (Every Xyxer post, shall we say~) So naturally, at this point, the chakra pressure of Xyxer would be quite an imposing thing for any person, he could even be called a tailed beast that lacked the tail at 145 chakra. When the male had entered Xyxer's scope of vision, he instantly believed an attack was imminent and so he reacted instantly, it was quite pleasant being a Hozuki, actually. As the male drifted downwards through the air, wind resistance catching him and making his speed quite null, Xyxer reacted by simply forming two hand guns with his hand, quite a childish gesture so it would be weird for these to actually take offense by it, wouldnt it? But of course, it was intended to be offensive..

Almost instantaneously, two bullets of water erupted from the finger tips of Xyxer, one heading for the pelvic region of Maku where he was about to land on the hand of the outstretched Youka, and the other aiming directly for the abdomen of Youka in an attempt to force him to move and abandon his compadre into the harsh reality of the bullet. It was quite strong after all, being 124 in both speed and strength when his suiton mastery boosted it's stats. Of course, it would be unlikely that the two could react in time to such an erratic and bizarre gesture, but these two were shinobi.. Perhaps, by some act of god, they had encountered a Hozuki before and knew of such a speedy attack that could occur. After this happened, as he had initiated the fight, he summoned his armour over his body in case a retaliation was to be made and his act was not able to maim them.

Apparently this guy could timeline is not what Maku thought.  The chakra pressure coming from the room was a bit more than he had anticipated, however it far from worried him.  As he began to fall, he heard a rush of air movement.  Now, this was the problem with being in the air.  It made things, much much harder to do.  You just didn't have the natural ways to dodge, dip, duck, dive, and......dodge.  So he would have to fix the situation.  As a side note, it occurred to Maku that if this was the kind of man that was near Youka, he must have indeed interrupted him while he was meeting with the kage.  

It was pretty fucking rude of him therefore to jump in on a meeting like this, so he would naturally have to apologize.  He had been in more than one or two fair scuffles with shinobi, and that was what led him to being able to react the way he did.  The sound of air moving, and was that water......he couldn't be sure.  All the same, it sounded fast probably was deadly, and lets be honest, getting hit by an attack just was not Maku's style.  Lucky for him his EMS were activated, and the world seemed to drift by like a slow mo action movie.

His chakra fluxed ever so slightly and in an instant.......well he was gone.  He had made his robes a long time ago, when he still sat proudly in his own office of leadership.  The workers he had enslaved.......I mean commissioned, had brought him only the best materials.  Yukigakure was not known for its resources, or anything really.  The place was a frozen hell hole, and yet Maku had made it work.  How many hours....days had he spent infusing each fiber with his chakra.  Creating a hybrid of cloth that was more chakra based than any natural substance.  This is what granted him one of his ultimate powers.  The power to piss his enemies off.  It was good to be Maku he had to admit.

His disappearance would occur when the ball was approx. half way to him.  He would vanish at a speed of 280 cause he was baller like that. 

"Maku why not use the giant golden monster....comeone it would be so much fun...sooooooomuch funnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!"

"It would be fun......NO SHUT UP!!!"

Maku would finish his fall, invisible, invulnerable, and all together outside of the regular dimension of space.  His cloak saturated in his chakra allowed him to move his body in to an in between space.  An area that was both connected to the world, and at the same time not connected.  The water bullet would surely hit the wall and blow a hole in it.  Probably would go into the air and even hit a goose for comedic effect.  As for the one towards Youka, he would probably do something lame like punch it.

Maku, would turn and get a look at this fellow.  He seemed to have summoned some sort of armor, probably a paranoid guy.  Though Maku couldn't say much, he was the same way.  He had covered his body in his golden armor merely because Naoki had teleported them.  O well, he should be more respectful.  Walking through Youka who was doing whatever, he would make his way for the door and pass through it.

Once on the other side of the door he would wait a moment.  "Could you tell him that it is me here so he doesn't try and blow me up?  Thanks darling."  Maku would say using his choker.  For some reason it still worked despite this item.  The cloak was an interesting item, one that even though he had crafted still did not fully understand.  Space time was something he had dominion over, but not an overall understanding.  Probably would get him into trouble some day.

On the other side of the door, he would continue to hang out in the in-between.  He would keep it up until he was sure that another attack wouldn't explode through it and catch him unawares. 

"Your rather boring you know that?  we could have such a good time and you hold us back."

Inrward sigh "Your rather annoying you know that?  Why don't you make like a tree, and get out of here."

"That was stupid"

"Your stupid"

"nu huh your stupid"

"No you are"

"Your mom"

"My mom is dead"

"Good that way she can't see how stupid you are"

"............."

"Burn"

"I wish that attack would have killed me"

The Demon had been with Xyxer long enough to know that the man was full of tricks and could snap at a moments notice. Once the man pointed his fingers at the both of them he knew to be ready and had already activated his Shunshin to boost his movement capabilities. This would allow him to move at great speed(190) just in case something did happen. Sure enough the man had fired off two water bullets at a blinding speed to that of mere normal people.

The Demon and Maku however would be able to handle Xyxers 'greeting relatively easier than the normal ninja. In a instant the Demon would move from his location to sitting in a chair opposite of the Tenkages desk.

"Pay him no mind, he is a fool. He is also this bodies best friend like I was telling you earlier. He means no harm or he would have come in attacking. Now about this proposal?"

Oh no, the bullets.. They were merely the beginning of what was going to be a barrage of brutal attacks, one after another.. How dare this jester just intrude into his office like some form of space-time whore that jumped through wormholes! Instantly, the left hand of Xyxer elevated upwards, since if a pointed gun motion to Youka would make him be prepared for a fight, when a gun didn't even really exist in this universe, then this motion would certainly make him jump out of his skin! His right hand followed suit, and soon, the two hands slapped one another in a glorious merging of the flesh, also known as a clap. Marvelous! They did not appear to be attacking! Though obviously, Xyxer was somewhat upset that his attacks had not truly struck home.. It was strange how Youka seemed to avoid the bullet, infact, it seemed to have missed his head by a mere inch as he dashed straight towards Xyxer, perhaps the Wrath of Tengakure did not seek to truly kill him after all. Oh well, the other guy was probably de- Where the fuck was he? On second interpretation, the guy whom had just teleported in had disappeared and the bullet that was meant to be his final felt jutsu, had just.. shot directly through the building into the sky, showering many civilians on what was a somewhat sunny day in Tengakure. Confused on how he could just disappear, the bullet that was aiming for Youka prior would now be heading out from the room and through the door, which would coincidentally, be aiming straight for the head of the invincible Maku. Shrugging, he nodded his head and continued on his with offer, believing what had just occurred was some.. heavy hallucination.

"I seek to reforge a name that has been dirtied and spoken of with humour. A group that was once seen as the bane of many shinobi, now turned into a mocked name in many house holds.. People forget what true terror is, and this, is an unforgivable crime. I was pondering on whether you would be interested on joining a small group, currently in the words.. The Seven Swordsmen."

Sure enough a second later a bullet flew through the door and went straight through Maku's head.  That was dangerous, and this was kind of stupid.  Youka clearly did not indicate well enough that Maku was here.  As the other man simply started talking about some group that he was going to reforge.  Alas, Maku supposed it was time to enter the world, and risk it.  He really had no interest in fighting, and the demon that rested in the back of his mind was singing a song about shaking something off.  Overall, it just was gonna be one of those kind of days.  At the conclusion of Xyxer speaking, Maku would quickly relay another message to Youka.  "PLEASE MAKE SURE HE KNOWS I AM HERE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAN.  OR SO HELP ME I WILL TURN INTO A GIANT GOLDEN LION.  Thanks darling."

It was a simple message, one that conveyed love, understanding, and companionship.  Well that was just how Maku was.   I mean the guy is practically a saint, only better cause he can still drink and get laid.  After he sent the message to Youka, he allowed himself to return to the real world.  WIth two quick knocks, Maku would announce his presence.  "Maku Jemuzu, Leader of Yukigakure here to see the Tenkage if you please."  It was a pretty straight forward announcement, but whatever.  He wanted to get this shindig going and more water bullets would only slow things down.

Since the bullet had moved through the door at the location of his head, he didn't even have to bend down.  He was able to merely stand there and somewhat look into the room.  He hoped that he would be allowed in, and this whole attacking him for no reason thing could be put behind him.  Though, while he hoped this very much, he was now on his guard more than ever.  He would defend himself if necessary, but he really hoped it wouldn't be.

The Demon chuckled on the inside of his mind at Maku's words telling him to let Xyxer know that he was friendly. The Demon had tried that just recently and it had ended with water being fired at them. Yawning slightly before mullling the idea over he would speak again to try and let it be known.

"That is my associate I was telling you about, he does things like this all the time. He's not one to really care about danger, everything is a game to him and as such he will more times than not do as he pleases regardless of the negative outcomes."

The Demon at this time would hope Xyxer would let the boy come in so they could all become acquainted again and move forward in their conversation and plans. He heard Xyxer offer him a spot on a team that he was trying to revive and it seemed just up his alley now that he was turning a new leaf with weaponry adorning his arsenal instead of ninjutsu.

"Very well Xyxer, I see no reason why I would want to help carry on such a thing and help in its revival. I'll take you up on the offer."
