Bardock who was floating nearby, opened his mouth slightly, [it's that easy.., wait.., of course it would be.., the Saiyan's I knew were nothing but idiot's and mindless killing machines.., let's give it a go shall we.]
He breathed in once, remembering the last time he fought Frieza, nothing happened for a while, he opened his eyes soon after and he shook his head, [let's try the other way.]
He tried once more, this time with the energy on the back, soon after a yellow glow appeared around him, this caused Kuraiya to turn his head slightly.
"Interesting..", just as he murmured this, Bardock's eyes shot open, "ahhhgg!", Kuraiya seeing the boy become a super saiyan, couldn't help but feel jealous, [it's always so easy for none legendary Saiyan's to stay sane, how infuriating.]
He showed a smile, slightly proud of the brat's completion of achieving the form, "that's it.., keep it up, the longer you're in this form, the easier it'll be to control it".
Bardock couldn't keep the form up, it completely vanished and he started falling from energy exhaustion, Kuraiya appeared by the boy's side and he caught him from falling, "you shouldn't force it, you're still a year too young, grow stronger first".
At first Bardock blushed, then he huffed only for him to be holstered like a bag the next second, "alright.., you've improved my mood with your monstrous talent, I'm going back or else I won't hear the end of it from the others", Kuraiya spoke firmly, only for it to slowly get lower, as he mentioned returning.
'Thud'
Kuraiya landed on the roof of his home and he placed Bardock down, Kuraiya was about to jump down, instead he stopped his movements and he chose to sit down.
"A few more minutes of rest won't hurt..", as he was resting on the roof, he saw Himawari trying to play with Gine, but Gine wasn't moving at all, she was doing the exact same thing as Kuraiya, she was lying down with a bored expression.
"Hey.. umm.. why aren't you moving..", Himawari kneeled down and she started poking her face, Gine pouted but her expression changed in an instant and she sat up quickly, "it's dad".
She looked around and she saw him sitting on the roof with Bardock, who was unable to move, upon seeing Kuraiya she ignored Himawari and shot towards him leaving a sonic boom in her wake, the moment she reached Kuraiya, she tackled into him with a gut attack.
Kuraiya fell back while hiding his painful expression, [shit.. that hurt.. I should increase my ki if this happens often, lest I be caught off guard with this level of strength.]
He looked down at the girl rubbing her face on him, he sighed then put his hand on her head scruffing her hair, "alright.. calm down, you make it out as if I've been away for a long time, we should head inside too, the weather is a little cold, you don't want to catch a flu right".
He stood up, staring down blankly, [forget it.., she won't let go of me go now.], he turned to Bardock who was now standing, "go bring the other's inside, I dont have infinite medicine if they get ill", Kuraiya jumped off of the roof after saying this, leaving the boy to unwillingly bring the other's back.
As for Himawari she gazed at Bardock who was walking past her with intrigue, [I'll play with him instead.]
.
A few days past and Christmas day arrived.
.
Kuraiya was currently asleep, only to be dragged out of bed by the two Tsunade's, he didn't wake up from this, so they continued to drag him into the living room.
His other women that were already inside, couldn't help but give him another look, some had sinister thoughts especially Tsuna, [he usually sneak attacks me when I'm asleep with that damn pen of his, it always gets on my nerves when others stare at me from his antics, why don't I get a little revenge.]
She disappeared and reappeared after some rummaging, she walked over to him and started writing on his face as the others all stared with dumbfounded faces.
"Hey.. let me do it", it wasn't long until it became a battle for taking over and after some time he stirred awake feeling a little cold, "why are you guy's staring at me like that", he rubbed his eyes as he sat up.
They turned away, hiding their slight smirks on their face, [what's going on, why am I here.], he was about to stand up, but he felt his face feeling sticky, so he touched it with a frown, he gave Tsuna a strange gaze after doing that action.
Because he stared a little too long her face started blushing, "what..? if you want something to eat, a meal has already been prepared, there's no need to give me that look".
"Heh.. I'll let your games happen, I wont wash it off", he looked back at his fingers to see black ink and he shook his head, [tsk tsk.. this will be dealt with another time, I'll get you back...]
Watching the other's turning away as well, his lips couldn't help but twitch, [so it wasn't just her huh.., well well, guess I've got more to deal with then.]
He sat back down, smiling at each one, as the atmosphere became quiet, his little one's all ran inside the room, causing his women's heads to turn, watching them enter the room.
Kuraiya smiled at the little guy's enthusiasm, "don't steal from your siblings or they'll be hell to pay, you got that", he gave the young boy's a serious gaze, as if to say 'I'll catch you if you dare to bully another for their gift'.
He felt a slight tap on his shoulder from Kurenai, who had an ugly face from his words, "don't speak to them like that".
Tsuna snorted, "they should listen.., because even I wont tolerate that behavior", Kurenai couldn't help but give Tsuna a glare, "don't encourage him".
The others all pulled Kurenai aside, whispering in a voice, soon Kurenai huffed slightly unhappy, "fine, I won't stop it".
Tsuna hearing this snorted again, "you're too soft, you can't be kind to unruly behavior, it needs a punishment...", Kuraiya stood up at some point and he covered her mouth, as he whispered into her ear, "alright.. let's enjoy today.., you can argue tomorrow".
Tsuna shrugged her shoulders, still giving Kurenai a glare, [oh,I definitely will.. she needs to a learn a lesson.., since when did she get the courage to speak to me in such a manner, I'm the hokage.]
After the kids opened up their gifts, they soon disappeared into their rooms to put them away, only to return to a scrumptious large meal.
Kuraiya wiped his brow with a wry smile on his face, "you brats better enjoy this, I put extra work into making it", this caused the little ones to give him a reverence gaze, but seeing Gine on his shoulder with a serious face as she stared at the meal, they couldn't but help swallow.
Kuraiya didn't care for looking like a savage, he raised his hand slightly, "you guy's.. will you promise to eat everything.., before I do.. hahaha".
He started laughing at the speed they were eating, leaving him no time to ponder, as he too followed suite.
His women couldn't help but stop eating as they gazed at the bunch, they even saw the two Tsunade's and Hinata's doing the same thing as the Saiyan bunch, looking like they were all starved from hunger.
"Is this even a meal anymore, it feels more like a contest", Konan's lips couldn't help but twist at the sight.
Plates were piling up quickly and soon there was no food left, causing a slight disappointment in the group, Kuraiya stood up, slightly annoyed, "why don't we rent out the Akimichi restaurant".
Upon hearing this, there was no refusal from anyone, but acceptance for another meal, Kuraiya was about to disappear, but was stopped by Konan, "I can pay for it, don't go robbing a poor clan just for this outing".
Tsuna slouched onto the chair with a smug smile, wiping her lip that was filled with grease, she spoke to Marcarita who was standing by Kuraiya's side, "well.., I guess that solves that, hey Marci, can you use that ability of yours to clean up the table, we'll be here for ages, if we do it by hand".
Marcarita sighed at this, "do you take me for a maid", Tsuna's expression didn't change, but she did lean back as she tapped her belly, "we're pregnant.., don't bring that into it".
She looked like a thug at the moment, she was about to speak again, but Marcarita already shook her head as she waved her staff, causing the plates and the mess to clean up quickly.
After the white light faded, the group headed out for the meal at a fast pace, when they arrived, Tsuna used her status as the hokage to open up the restaurant.
Kuraiya forgot about wiping his face with the permanent marker on it, causing him to head out to wash it off, due to people staring and laughing at it.
When he returned, the group of nearly 40 people with a large appetite, continued to have a meal.
Upon finishing up, they got up fully satisfied with their full stomachs, leaving the Akimichi clan to rethink about who has the bigger appetite's within the village.
Kuraiya was about to leave with them, but he paused for a moment, then he waved to Marcarita, when she saw him waving at her, she walked over to him and he whispered, "I'm gonna be out for a little bit, I'm gonna wonder around for a while, so tell the other's I'll be back later".
Marcarita frowned, her gaze looked around the village, she even expanded her own ki to see what he was looking for, but she didn't find anything, so she just listened with slight interest, "okay.., dear".
Kuraiya also gazed at her for a bit, [what's she thinking, I'm really gonna roam around for a bit, before I get smothered later.]
He turned to leave and no one stopped him, only Tsuna frowned, thinking something was about to happen before he returns, after all it always does.
Kuraiya did exactly as he said, he roamed around for a while, sometimes making a snowball and launching it into the sky out of boredom.
It wasn't long until he bumped into someone, causing the person to fall down, "ow.. sorry.. I wasn't looki.., huh.. it's you".
Kuraiya was about to help the person up, but he stopped, his hand hanged just meters away from the person, "tch.. you're welcome..", he turned to leave, only for his leg to be grabbed.
"Wait.. at least help me clean this mess up", Kuraiya seeing the spilled groceries on the ground, was about to leave again and the person on the ground could feel it, so they gritted their teeth, before the person said to him, "I'll cook you some ramen as a thank you, if you help".
Kuraiya immediately started flinging around and he crouched down with the bags in his arms, "alright, I did it, keep your end of the deal.. Ayame".
She snorted before standing up and taking the bag's out of his grasp, "then.. follow me".
Kuraiya looked around, [shouldn't there be no place open today, it's Christmas.], watching Ayame walking away, he stared at her back intently, before he followed behind her.
When they left, they came to her house, Kuraiya just stood outside gazing at the door with a frown, he sighed and walked inside.
"Where's your father..", "he's in the fire country.., procuring ingredients for next week, you should already know why", Kuraiya sat down on a couch, staring at Ayame's back as she was cooking up some food.
She felt his intense gaze and she shivered under it, silence permeated throughout the room, when she finished cooking, she walked over to give him the meal, Kuraiya wasn't being kind either, he started eating it without any scruples.
When he got to the last bit of the meal, his expression changed, he stared at the bowl intently, then his gaze went to Ayame who had her eyes closed, as she stood behind the counter in the kitchen.
He kept fidgeting on the couch, he stood up wiped his face, then he said to her, "I'm gonna use your bathroom for a sec".
Watching him walk away, Ayame frowned and she muttered to herself, "shouldn't it have worked, I took off my pants already, I didn't expect him to run off, was what I gave him fake".
Kuraiya stared at the mirror in the bathroom, holding his head, "I've been drugged again, what's with me getting treated like this, is it my fate to get drugged by other's".
He heard a knock on the door, even though he was inside for a few seconds, he barely had any time to think, especially when the door opened without him speaking.
Due to the effects and what Ayame was wearing, he felt overwhelmed and he gave in instantly.
.
A few hours later.
.
Kuraiya managed to regain his clarity and he made his quick escape, staring at the house as he started walking away, he snorted to himself, slightly baffled by the outcome.
"Damn.., that was strong, was it made by Anko, that could be the only explanation as to why it worked so well on me", remembering Ayame's expression of loneliness, he thought about asking if she wanted to come with him, but he refrained from doing it as he continued to walk.
"Forget it.., she seems more interested in food, than a group of sisters to keep her company, but don't think I've forgiven you for drugging me, I'll come and sneak attack you every few days", he rubbed his chin, floated up and disappeared.
With Ayame, she layed on the bed sweating profusely, she looked at the room and smiled, "what a beast.., to think he can fly, it was exhilarating to be pounded against the ceiling, what a thrill..".
She touched the bed where a few blood stains were, tracing it with her fingers, her hand went to her stomach soon after, "I wonder.., no.., it doesn't matter, I saw his eyes, he'll be back".

.
A few days later.
.
There was news about one of Orochimaru's subordinates location, so a group set off to hunt him down for information about Orochimaru's whereabouts, even Shizune sneaked off, Tsuna kept it a secret from Kuraiya, but he already knew something was off, the moment Shizune disappeared.
So he secretly followed behind her, hiding in the sky, keeping his existence hidden.
A few hours later, the group arrived at a large lake and Kuraiya knew what was happening, especially sensing something inside the lake, "isn't that the three tails, should I tame it".
The leaf shinobi, ignored the three tails, their attention was solely on finding Kabuto, but they bumped into Guran and her goons by their surprise attack.
Guran who had been fighting with the leaf ninjas and fled at some point, felt the air turn cold around her, she checked her surroundings, only to see a woman with long blue hair, holding a Rapier.
She was confronting Kabuto, the air around the woman as she took a step towards Kabuto, was growing colder as she got closer, "have you ever felt absolute zero, if not.., let me see if you can handle it".
Within a 600 meter radius, the air froze completely, Kabuto tried to flee, but he found out his body was slowly getting stiff, "what's happening..".
The woman got even closer, until she was standing in front of the now ice cubed Kabuto, "you sure was an insect.., pests like you always run from the strong, it's completely disgusting, people like you should've kneeled down in front of me and revered me the moment you have seen me.., not like I'll let you live, if you did that anyway".
Guran watched as Kabuto turned into a ice sculpture, then she watched as the woman flicked the ice cube with her finger, shattering Kabuto who was inside it to atoms.
The woman turned around and her gaze landed on Guran quickly, "ohh.. you didn't freeze and what's with that pink crystal", the woman waved her Rapier and the pink crystal shattered into nothing.
Guran who was hiding inside it, had successfully managed to escape just in time or else she'd have been cut to piece's.
The woman with blue hair chuckled at the fleeing Guran, "are you playing hide and seek.., alright I'll play for a..", she stopped mid movement and her gaze went to the sky, "is that.. my.. haaah.. haaah..", the woman's breathing quickened and her face flushed from excitement.
"Haaah.. haaah.. my.. haaah.. husband..", she held her legs together tightly, while her arm's crossed under her breasts, both were shaking from excitement, the woman's face quickly became fanatical, she had a wide smile.
After a moment, she stopped and shook her head, "ahem.., how unlady like of me.., only he can see me act like this.., not people that hide in the dark".
Her eyes sharpened to the trees, "snow release.. snow exchange..", the woman vanished from the spot she was standing, leaving only a few snow flakes and she appeared behind Guran who was with a boy in an instant, the woman pulled off the snow flake on Guran's shoulder and she smiled at the two in front of her.
"Foooooound... you".
