Bizarre Love Triangle, Chapter 13!!!
Well, this'll be the last we see of the Kage no Jinchu for a few chapters; I need to work up on Naruto's side of the story. Here it is!

Chapter 13

Moroi heard Tataku coming; he was clumsy sometimes, and he’d tripped over the log trap she’d set. Quickly, she submersed herself deep into the water, so that only her nose and eyes were peeking out. When he reached the lake, he was a bit surprised to see Moroi submersed as ‘he’ was. Tataku smiled and asked ‘him’ what exactly ‘he’ was doing. Moroi just said that she was swimming around, now that she was all clean.

“If you’re just swimming, I’ll join you.” Tataku grinned, stripping to his skivvies and jumping into the water. He’d missed Moroi’s horrified glance, and almost landed on her when he cannonballed into the pond. She moved out of the way and avoided getting too close, or going above chest level in the water.

“What’s wrong with you, Moroi-kun? Too cool to wrestle in the water?” Tataku grinned, tackling Moroi into the water. She cried out in surprise for two reasons; number 1: he may have just blown her secret, and number 2: she felt something on her leg. After escaping her friend’s clutches, she popped up facing away from him on the land. She was blushing bright red, but he couldn’t tell because of the mist that she’d made earlier.

“Um, yeah Tataku, that was lots of fun, but I’m a bit tired since I’m all clean now, I’m gonna go. Buh-bye!” Moroi said, pulling on her clothes and running off back to the cabin. Tataku couldn’t help but notice his friend had a very feminine body shape. It was odd, but for a moment, he thought he’d felt something a guy shouldn’t have. However, he dismissed the idea and continued swimming around, enjoying the surprising warmth of the pond. After making sure no one had “went”, he continued on his merry way.

Moroi had forgotten about Takatobi, who tackled her as soon as she got in through the door. Rei-sensei was still talking to Haruka and Guujin, so they were off somewhere else in the woods, and probably wouldn’t be found unless they wanted to be. So, Moroi had to endure her friend’s harassment and just hope that Rei-sensei would return soon.

“So… who’s going to do the assassination of Hokage?” Guujin asked, not bothering to reprimand Haruka for playing around with his puppets, “my puppets could do the job easily if we got them into her office easily.” Reikoku just shook his head, reminding him that he needed to be in the office as well, and wasn’t very good at sneaking up on people.

“I volunteer my prized pupil.” Reikoku said, “Tsukineko Moroi. In our “circus”, she’s doing a tightrope act, in which she could easily infiltrate the Hokage’s office and kill her. Plus, she’s agile and would be able to escape much faster than one of your blocky puppets.” Guujin frowned, but decided he agreed. Haruka shot Reikoku a glazed look before asking a familiar “what?” It was almost impossible to catch her paying attention to anything.

“Let’s get back to the cabin… I’m sure that my team is tired of hanging around each other, so I’d best go separate them.” Reikoku said, before taking off. The other two followed, although Haruka only noticed a few moments after they’d left. So, she ran off after them, falling out of a tree she’d tried to jump to and landing on the forest floor. Sighing, she decided to walk back to the cabin, figuring she’d get there when she got there.

Well, there you have it. Hope you enjoyed it! Read and review!
