The Sword and the Shadow (NSFW, 18+)

As she lay there with Kagura in her arms the clone would come over and take her hands, making Akari pout as the clone made two more copies. “At least let me hold her.” She would say, petulantly while her hands and more importantly, her fingers, became trapped and unable to form seals. She was still feeling quite content with herself after seeing Kagura’s state when she was done. She knew she’d end up worse, but somehow she’d manage to cope with that. At the end of the day, what mattered was that both wanted to please the other more than anything. Such love and affection, physical, mental, emotional, it was the bedrock of any relationship, and they had it in spades. So the dark haired Uchiha princess would laugh once the clone made two more copies. “Now that’s cheating!” She would say, a note of fun loving anxiousness in her voice.

The first clone stayed exactly where it was, holding onto her hands and keeping her fingers apart. The second clone lay next to her in the water, and slipped two fingers inside of her slit that caused her to inhale sharply before they were withdrawn. This would prompt her to frown in momentary confusion before she slipped them back in and caused eye to give a soft moan. Right up until the clone slipped it’s own thumb up her butt, using her own fluids as lubricant. This would cause Akari’s eyes to widen in surprise and pleasure at the sensation. What she had done to Kagura had been an accident, but clearly she’d liked it enough to try it on her and Akari found why she had put her thumb back inside of her when she’d taken it out. The dark haired girl moaned in appreciation at the clones efforts, into the kiss of the third clone. Who’s hands were massaging her breasts with prodigious skill and causing Akari to feel herself on cloud nine. The only thing that could’ve made it better was if she could’ve held Kagura herself while her clones sexually pampered her into what would probably become a mewling mess. “God I love you..” She said into the kiss as she reciprocated with equal amounts of passion and lust.

[63]

Akari would get her wish. While the clones worked, the one that had been holding her hands gave her a smile before vanishing entirely, as well as the one that had been kissing her in a reverse way, both disappearing in a small puff of smoke as the actual Kagura rolled the woman on top of her, the only clone left being the one that was trying to discover if she could reach deep enough inside the woman to control her butt like a bowling ball while massaging her internally. The original gave her a wide, loving smile. “Love you more…” she teased before reaching in, giving her a deep, loving kiss, her tongue snaking its way into Akari’s mouth while she used her hands to direct the smaller woman’s hands onto her own butt to occupy them before doing the same, grabbing the dark haired woman’s ass cheeks and spreading them so the clone could get even deeper within her.

The clone was targeting her G-Spot within to ensure that she got close, but didn’t quite reach the point to where she was close but not quite there before slowly drawing her fingers free. Then, slowly, she would weave one of her legs between the woman’s own and then their slits would kiss one another, putting pressure of both of their clits together, while the clone’s hand moved back and slid that same thumb up to the knuckle inside Akari, using the spot as leverage to help her grind against the smaller woman, gasping as their clits massaged one another as she began to move her hips and swayed.

[64]

The clone holding her fingers would disperse, as would the one kissing her. Akari’s eyes would be half lidded with pleasure as the other clone continued it’s work. Kagura would roll her atop her as the clone continued its work, driving her crazy as it used it’d fingers ruthlessly. Kagura herself would give her a wide smile, filled with love as she said she loved her more. Oh sure, that was hardly fair, how was she supposed to react when she couldn’t even think straight, much less form coherent words. She would try anyway, but anything that came out before Kagura kissed her would be incoherent babble as the brunette doppelganger continued. As they kissed Kagura would move her own hands to rest on the brunettes ass and Akari would instinctively begin to massage it readily as Kagura began the same to hers, spreading the cheeks so the clone could ‘torture’ her more readily.

She could feel herself about to have a soul deep orgasm, feel her body tensing, the sexual high built up and ready for release. Before the clone slowed down, drawing it’s fingers free. This would result in Akari being forcefully driven from her sexual highpoint and she’d growl in frustration. That was cruel, she hadn’t denied her anything. Then the clone would do something to surprise her. It would weave it’s legs through Akari’s and bring their nether regions together. Both slits would come together as the clone's finger began to work, putting pressure on both of them as it slipped a finger inside of her. Akari gasped and moaned as she instinctively bucked her hips, grinding her slit against the clones as she felt herself build up again, if anything, stronger than before when her world went white.

Spots of colour swam in her vision again as she had an orgasm that sent her shuddering, grinding against the clone more because of it and causing a chain reaction of pleasure. The clone wouldn’t stop either and Akari would find herself peaking again and again, her mind becoming less and less lucid each time as it worked to keep up with the pleasure centers firing on overdrive. Her screams went beyond noise now and her mouth hung open silently as she finished again and again. Barely enough of her was there to keep count. ‘6...7..8...9?!’ She would think before she felt herself black out completely for a time, her entire body numb with pleasure.

It would take quite a while for her to wake back up, her mind having shut down from the overload. When she came to, her eyes opened slowly, unsure of where she’d be or anything anymore. As they opened though her mind would be lucid enough to think of a small, very small, prank to play on Kagura. So when she opened them fully she looked for her, wanting to find her eyes as soon as possible.

[64]

Kagura would enjoy the different perspective of Akari as she watched her get rocked by the orgasms again and again, each time kissing her deeply, each time urging the clone to continue and not let up, each time pulling the woman into her own body until they couldn’t get any more skin to touch… to say that pleasing Akari was enjoyable for her was an absolute understatement. Nine times the woman had orgasmed back to back, each stronger than the last, until finally the woman passed out entirely on top of her, twitching and writhing. As the woman faded from consciousness, the brunette said only one thing as existence began to blank in her eyes. “I love you most.”

While she was asleep, the clone finally detangled herself and took the time to get the pair of women cleaned up, also giving the clone itself time to come down off of the high that the actions had brought to itself. Akari had not been the only one gushing fluid from orgasming; the clone had as well a few times, and dispersing too soon would mean that the original was going to follow suit as she absorbed the experiences from the clone, which is why she didn’t plan to ever have any type of clone-orgy with the woman. She was relatively certain neither of them would be able to handle that amount of pleasure all at once… they would need a dedicated day or two for recovery from such a sexcapade. Kagura positioned the smaller woman on top of herself, using her arms to wrap around the woman who was now curled up on her stomach and to press her own chest together a little, providing a warm, fleshy pillow for the woman to sleep on.

After a while, giving Kagura time to disperse the clone and come down off the effects of absorbing the copy’s knowledge and experience, she watched as Akari slowly began to stir and seemed to be looking for her. “Up here, love,” she whispered quietly, getting the woman’s attention. The clone had also brought their clothing nearby, folded it and set it down. Kagura knew that they would enjoy more time like this later, but they did need to finish training both of them… and she was also looking forward to sparring with her later as well. “I think I am going to say you win this round. 11 to 4 in your favor is a little much for me to be able to catch up to.” It was a small joke and she gave a little giggle at it, but one that she enjoyed nonetheless. She hadn’t meant to keep score, but she had regardless, and reminding Akari would likely serve to fluster her just a little bit, which would make the smaller woman’s ‘revenge’ all the more sweet.

[65]

Akari would hear the voice of her love and look to meet her eyes. However when she did she would give her a blank, and utterly confused look. The brunette would make a joke about their ‘score’ which Akari knew she certain now that she would never be able to win in. She would have to settle with giving Kagura as much pleasure as she could handle and leave it at that. However for now she had a prank to implement. “Who are you?” She would ask in apparent confusion. “Where am I? Why in the world are we naked?” She would ask, all the while becoming more confused as she looked down at their naked bodies and blinked her eyes in apparent bewilderment. Inside however, Akari was laughing her fucking ass off. She highly doubted any such prank would work for long. However the idea that she’d orgasmed so hard that when she woke up she couldn’t remember anything was hilarious.

The idea that she might be able to convince Kagura that she had done it to her? Even more so.

The dark haired girl would blink several times in confusion before looking back at her. “What’s my name? What’s yours?” She would ask her tone having the same curious innocence as before. The best part would be seeing Kagura react to the idea that she’d have to tell someone what happened. Because since Akari was the hokage, someone would have to know. Akari was excited to see that thought process play out that was for sure. “You’re really pretty.” She would say, cocking her head to one side innocently. It was as if she’d just talked about the weather. “Why am I so tired?” She would ask, yawning right afterwards as she continued to look around in confusion. “This is a neat place.” She’d say noting the training area as if she was just seeing it for the first time. All the while Akari would be watching for Kagura’s reaction.


[65]

Kagura grew slightly concerned as the beautiful girl laying on top of her seemed utterly confused at first. The first thing that came to the brunette’s mind was that she might have gone a bit overboard with it all, causing her to be a bit delirious for a little bit until her mind started to work properly again, but then a deep fear took root in her mind and caused her heart to ache as a result. This was the first time she had actually done anything like this, all the skill she had was borrowed from what she had read and implementing that into what she did for Akari, but was it possible to have someone get to such an extent that it could cause amnesia, or worse, some sort of damage to her mind? The thought that she could have possibly hurt Akari only grew stronger as she continued to act like not only did she not know who Kagura was, but who Akari herself was.

Her eyes widened a bit as the realization hit her, and her chest felt like someone had placed her heart into a vice and began to crush it slowly, and tears began to well into her eyes. But then the other side of her mind began to race, thinking of what her next step was. Could she get the woman to a medical ninja in time to help repair the damage she might have done? Was it too late? Would she be able to serve the village as the Hokage? There was so much riding on what happened next, but the weight of the fear and anguish that gripped her soul was so strong that it caused her to freeze, unable to get her ass moving.

[66]

She couldn’t hold it

God she had a bad poker face when she was pranking someone, and the dark haired girls act cracked as Kagura’s eyes widened the first time. The sound of Akari trying to hold back a laugh wouldn’t be particularly ladylike, but she was too tired to care about that at the moment. She was thoroughly annoyed with herself though as she wasn’t able to maintain her prank for very long. Eventually, she’d fail to restrain the laughter and she’d start to giggle, her shoulders shaking as she did. “I’m sorry.” she would say when she could get a word. “I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to pull it off as long as I did.” She would say, still trying to calm down. “I figured I would prank you when I finally came to. But I admittedly didn’t think it through well enough. I didn’t make you panic did I?” she would ask, finally managing to get her laughter under control at the last sentence and moving her head to nuzzle the woman lovingly. Her apology was genuine, although anyone could easily tell when it was by the simple fact that she did it at all.

She hadn’t mean to hurt Kagura with the prank, and if she had done so then she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself. Gently she would move to kiss her, another silent apology in the action and then she would wait for the brunettes reaction to her.



[66]

Kagura heard her bust up laughing, and part of her realized what was happening and wanted to laugh with her, but that was overwhelmingly overshadowed by the relief she felt, and even that was underneath the pain she still felt… and couldn’t be contained or controlled. “Not funny…” she whimpered, the pain in her voice obvious. “No jokes about hurting each other… I was so scared…” she managed to choke out before wrapping the woman in a strong but not crushing hug. It was in that moment that she realized that she also hadn’t known that such a thing would bring about such a strong reaction from her, and it made her realize how much she loved the woman in her embrace all the more. Finally after a couple of minute she had calmed down, and slowly loosened her grip to look her in the eyes… and managed a small smile, accepting the woman’s apology and giving her a kiss as well.

“I never want to hurt you… and to think that I might have damaged your big, beautiful mind was terrifying,” she said sincerely once their kiss had eventually ended. She gave her another long hug and then slowly relaxed her body entirely… fear was a powerful emotion, and to fear for the one you loved was almost crippling. That meant that she needed to make sure Akari was strong, and that she too was strong, so they didn’t need to worry about one another. They lived in a dangerous world… death was not uncommon. She would make sure the pair of them were so powerful that there wasn’t a single thing on this planet that could break them apart. “Looking back on it, it is kinda funny… just wasn’t in the moment.” She ended the sentence with a chuckle and a smile, ensuring she conveyed that all had been forgiven. She couldn’t manage to get mad at Akari.

[67]

She winced as Kagura told her that her prank wasn’t funny, the whimper in her voice hitting Akari like a spike to the heart. When she told her how scared she’d been and then hugged her so tight Akari knew she’d made a mistake. She held the woman tight, letting her know she was there, and alright, and safe. It took a few minutes, but eventually her brunette lover would calm down and loosen her grip so that they could look into each other's eyes. Brown met blue as they found each other and her acceptance of her apology would make Akari smile softly.

Her words would make Akari blink a couple of times before deciding maybe telling her how to fix something like that might be a good idea. “For the record..if that ever did happen..Take me home, the Uchiha can work with memories.” She would say, concern in her voice as she felt her own guilt at hurting Kagura. It stood to reason after all, the Uchiha’s powers in genjutsu, and their capability to look into any memory someone who made eye contact them had made them perfect individuals for restoring memory to someone who’d lost it. When she said that it was kinda funny, just poorly timed Akari would think about that. How could it be properly timed though? She shook that thought away, deciding to let those kinds of pranks stay in the box. She would sigh in contentment though as she felt Kagura hold her tight, her own arms holding her right back. “I don’t wanna leave this position.” She would say softly, and it was true. She wanted to stay in Kagura’s arms, and keep hers in hers for as long as she could.

Besides, she still wasn’t entirely sure that she could even successfully stand at the moment. So the more time they took the better. She would give it a few minutes before trying, and if she spent those few minutes holding the woman she loved and being held by her. Well, she always was good at making the best use of her time now wasn’t she?

[67]

Kagura blinked at the knowledge that the Uchiha Clan might have the ability to repair her mind should it ever actually get damaged in the way of memories, but then nodded firmly. Anything she could do to help protect or heal Akari in a situation like that would be something she would never forget, keeping it on the top shelf of her mind and readily accessible. Hearing that she didn’t want to leave her brought the positive energy back to the brunette’s eyes, dispelling the negative energy and the pain in her heart that lingered there. “Well, you did just have a pretty good Stamina Building exercise done, a bit of rest certainly isn’t going to hurt anyone, and I definitely don’t mind. Stay as long as you’d like. Once we get done though… I’d like to learn some more Jutsu with you.” After all, the stronger they were, the less they would need to worry about one another.

She held her comfortably there, kissing the top of her head and hair a moment before letting her own head lean back and relax, the full effect of the relief that Akari was alright washing over her and letting her muscles unwind finally, the side effect of this making it more comfortable for the smaller woman on top of her. She would never forget this day… not in a million years when she was nothing but dust, she would still remember, she was certain of it.


[68]

Akari would give a groan of pleasure at Kagura’s words. “A good subordinate is adept at finding reasons for her kage to be able to be lazy. You’ll be promoted soon at this rate.” She would jest, nuzzling closer as she closed her eyes for a few. “Noses to grindstone after I’m sure I can stand again. Gimme...5, 10 minutes tops..How long was I out for anyway?” She’d ask before laying her head on the woman’s shoulder and, without moving her own head, would kiss the same spot on the woman’s neck over and over with intervals of a few seconds between each one. She was admittedly basking in the afterglow of absolutely mind numbing sex and enjoying every second of it. “Rub my back?” She would ask, wanting to feel the hands of her lover upon her spine, as she herself did exactly as she asked to Kagura, running her hand up and down the woman’s back. She’d heard it was relaxing as hell for a woman after sex. Granted this was the first time she’d ever gotten to try it, or potentially experience it.

‘You’re showing too much of the princess Akari.’ She would think to herself as she considered her actions. She was effectively wanting to be babied a bit and she damn well knew better than to act that way. But she was so comfortable right here, just like this, and her mind was still sending small twitches of pleasure through her every once in a while. That she just couldn’t bring herself to care much. Eventually, after what was probably a bit longer than 10 minutes, but Akari was too out of it at that second to care, she would rouse herself forcefully. Opening her eyes and looking around to find their clothes neatly folded on the edge of the water. “Are we bothering with dressing or do you just wanna do this au natural?” she’d ask, the question, while mildly absurd with the wording at the end for the sake of an easy joke, was a serious one.

Kagura might need her chest wrappings on to train or spar. So the question actually had quite a bit of merit for the situation. Akari didn’t mind either way, but she had an idea about the spar that would be better if they didn’t have the clothes on. “I ask, because I had an idea about the spar. We could make a chakra control exercise of it and spar while standing on the water. The only problem is, if we’re clothed and lose control, we’ll get them wet as well.” she would say before muttering sardonically “Although I suppose my panties and your spandex might not feel any different if they did given how things have been going today.” she would say, making a devastatingly dirty joke with a small smirk on her face at the thought. They had probably gone overboard with the sex and that was probably mostly her own fault. They needed to get back to work.

[68]

Kagura giggled a little bit at ‘making the Hokage lazy’ part. “I don’t think you have a ‘lazy’ bone in your body. I’ve heard about what you’ve managed in your short reign thus far even in the Academy.” The larger woman would find any excuse to compliment Akira, but as the Hokage, she really knew that the woman on top of her was working to improve the village in ways that hadn’t been done since the village’s founding. No one else had taken it so seriously that they could affect real change, until this teenager had stepped into office. “And you were out for 31 minutes and 22 seconds. I’d love to give you a massage.” With that said, she brought her hands up to Akari’s exposed back and shoulders, her thumbs moving with precision and skill across the woman’s muscles.

“My parents used to have me do this sort of thing after their physical therapy… not like this… but you know what I mean…” she stated, explaining why she was so good at working through the knots of muscle and relaxing the tissue without causing pain, only pressure. She worked with the skill of someone who did this for a living, having practiced for years and putting the knowledge to good use. Besides, this would help bring pleasure to the smaller woman in a completely different way than sexually, although she had to admit she needed to be careful or they would likely start another round. Her hands working magic over the woman’s bare back, she listened to what was said next carefully, raising an eyebrow initially hearing that she might want to try training in the nude.

She considered this for a moment… and then posed a different question, seemingly completely out of the blue. “That depends on the answer to my next question… and I want you to try to answer completely objectively.” Slowly, she stood up, baring every curved she had as she spread her arms just a little bit. “Do I seem a little chubby to you?” There was a reason she was asking this specific question; she used the chest wrappings because she wanted and tried to be a little bit smaller when she trained, but if, on the off chance, Akari liked her thickness, she would want to train without the wrappings so that when they trained together, she could show what Akari wanted more of, the more natural form.

[69]

When Akari heard the amount of time she had been out for her eyes widened. “Damn, you messed me up in the best way didn’t you?” She asked, a note of surprise in her voice. She hadn’t ever considered that she’d passed out for that long after all. Then when Kagura began to massage her back she would groan in pleasure once more. “You’re a goddess, and I’ll pray to you every night before bed. I swear it.” She would say, it was a joke, but it was also particularly far from what would probably happen. She highly doubted Kagura would even bother unpacking her things in a separate room at this point. She was welcome to of course, she could sleep anywhere she wanted in Akari’s house as far as Akari was concerned. She just had her doubts that she would want to.

When she explained why she was so good at giving massages she would acknowledge it with another grown or pleasure that was almost more akin to a purr. When it came time for Kagura to answer her question Akari would blink in surprise, coming out of her relaxed daze in record time before she looked up at Kagura with a raised eyebrow. “Are you crazy? Chubby? Of course not! You’re a curvy woman, you have the kind of body people would dream of. Hell I wish I looked more like you.” She would say, her words emphatic. “Allow me to point out some logic. You’re a kenjutsu user. Who practices all of the time. You’re a shinobi, who trains constantly, like everyday constantly, it’s quite literally statistically impossible for you to be ‘chubby’ when you burn as many calories as you would unless you’re literally eating every waking moment. No Kagura, I don’t think you’re chubby, or I wouldn’t have basically fallen in love with you the moment I saw you.” She would say, reminding her of the fact that Akari herself had been awkward as fuck when they first started talking that day for some reason. A reason which she had effectively just stated outright for her lover to note.

[69]

Kagura realized far too late that she had just sent out a loaded question, and was now nervous of the answer… but when it did come, her face turned pink and she smiled. “I guess we should train and spar without making everything tight against me then, huh? And here I am jealous of your body… I can’t even slide between your legs without my tits making you flip over.” It was a multi-faceted joke, not only teasing her about getting between her legs, but a jab at earlier when she was training Body Flicker. “And I too, seemed to have fallen in love with you at first ‘clash of our blades’... even if I didn’t know it yet.” She was certainly glad that the woman enjoyed her current size, and would do anything she could to continue to lure her that way, but that brought up another concern.

“You sure it won’t be too… distracting?” she asked, not hiding the fact that her own eyes were wandering a little bit as she gazed upon the smaller woman. She didn’t mind at all, quite the opposite in fact… but she wasn’t sure if either of them would be able to focus on learning the Jutsu, and they would wind up trying to beat their previous record for subsequent orgasms all over again. Again, it wasn’t like that was a stressful thought, but it definitely wasn’t productive. Well, it could be… it depended upon your perspective. And as tempting as it was, she was pretty sure it wouldn’t lead to learning more Jutsu.

[70]

When Kagura blushed it sent a thrill of happiness through the dark haired girl as she looked upon her lover. “I think you should be proud of your body while taking whatever precautions you think are necessary.” She would say, implying that if she felt her chest wraps and such were actually important to making sure her opponents couldn’t take advantage of her, then maybe she should still utilize them. Every small advantage that could be gained in combat should be taken. Such things were what separated the very best, from all of the rest. “And yes.” she would say with a smile. “But then again, what did you expect when you tried to get between my legs so quickly? Of course I’d ‘flip’ on you.” She said, her own smirk making it obvious it was a jest.

When it came to the next part she would admittedly blush “I’m sure it will be, but we can think of it as more training. How to push distractions from your mind and such.” She would say, not hiding her own wandering eyes as she looked over her girlfriend's form. Besides, she was completely spent as far as sex was concerned. She loved to look at Kagura but there was only so much one could handle in a day. She’d probably be game for more by the time they went to bed that night but at that precise moment she didn’t think she had the energy. It was strange, she felt like she could spar just fine, but their more carnal activities left a different kind of weariness. Like she was tired on a deeper level than just physical. “In the end, I don’t care if we get dressed or not. I love the eye candy you provide, but the work needs to get done, and it’ll get done.” She would say, nodding her head in resolution.


[70]

Kagura thought about her words, running it through her mind a few times as she created hypothetical scenarios to test the theory that Akari was proposing. Indeed, it was going to be a tough order to not try to think of Akari romantically now, but the truth of the matter was that this was the perfect environment to try to remain serious and practice not letting her mind wander when she was looking at the young woman. It wasn’t like she was going to be able to stop herself from picturing what she looked like underneath clothing when in close proximity and in public. So this was good for her to be able to test her mental capabilities to at least look like she wasn’t thinking of new and inventive ways of giving her pleasure.

While Akari was depleted, Kagura had been unleashed and was still going strong, but in this case, that was a little bit of a problem. Sure, she would have to train to make sure she didn’t bump into things with her thick hips and crossing her arms over her chest would need a little adjustment, but that was a small price to pay in order to try to keep her partner’s eyes upon her. She wanted the dark haired teen to desire Kagura just as much as the larger woman desired Akari. “We can train like this. Gotta be able to act professional in public… and considering how hot you are, that’s going to take practice.” She gave the woman a wink and did a little pose to show off her rump for a moment playfully before readying herself to get to work on the next Jutsu… or spar, whichever came first.

[71]

Akari would blush at the woman’s words and her eyes would look to the side in mild embarrassment. “Take all the practice you want.” She would say, her voice low. Before her eyes were drawn back to Kagura because of the pose she did. “Careful, wouldn’t want to get ourselves ‘too’ excited now would we?” She would ask with an innocent little smile. Perhaps after they finished the jutsu training and the spar they could play more before dressing. For now though, it was time to get back to work. “Alright, there’s only one more C rank ninjutsu I can teach you, so here it is.” She would say as she walked over to her clothing and dug a shuriken out of her pouch. Giving it a casual flip and catching it she would present the shuriken to her partner. “This jutsu has three hand seals, it’s called ‘Shuriken Giant Body’ and what it does is increase the size of a projectile by up to 10 times. As you can imagine, this would increase said projectiles destructive potential quite considerably. The seals are Tiger, Rabbit, and Dog.” She would before turning to a target aways off. It was located in a perfect position to train water jutsu projectiles from the source next to them.

It would certainly do for now. So without further ado Akari deftly flicked the shuriken at the target with one hand, while the other performed the three seals in question. Immediately the shuriken would expand tremendously mid flight, becoming much more lethal. “The jutsu can only take effect while the projectile is still within 15 meters of you. So you gotta get it activated quickly. Luckily that’ll never be a problem for you.” She would say with a smile as the now enlarged shuriken impacted the poor training dummy with a resounding crash. “You can imagine the damage it would cause if used on a Fuuma Shuriken I’m sure.” She would say, as she turned to Kagura to make sure she got everything. “Understand?” She would ask, her ‘teacher mode’ easily allowing her to focus on doing just that instead of thinking of all of the things she might want to do to Kagura.

[71]

Kagura stuck her tongue out at the comment that they might be too excited by a simple pose, but that had been the point. She had noticed the lack of lust in her partner’s eyes, and considering how much she was now struggling to keep from taking her again, right then and there, she was trying to even the playing field a little. Akari must have had a lot more practice with maintaining a professional air because she seemed to be handling it without pause or question. The brunette tried to distract herself by focusing on the Jutsu that was being demonstrated, nodding slightly as she went. With a quick Body Flicker, which caused her unsheathed curves to bounce a little more than she was used to, she picked up the now smaller Shuriken that Akari had used and returned to her previous position.

Deciding she didn’t want to ‘fetch’ it every time, she came up with a small plan in her mind, and then tossed the seal upwards, flashing the hand-seals while tracking it with her eyes, and then caught the now enlarged Shuriken carefully with both hands. Feeling the weight difference made it obvious the impact that this would have if it had been thrown beforehand. Letting it resume it’s normal size again, she then looked at the other training dummy, and prepared herself. Not quite as adept at Bukijutsu as she was Kenjutsu, she took a moment to make sure her throwing stance and everything else was right before throwing it, and without seals, using the technique to cause the shuriken to similarly annihilate the dummy. With a victorious smile, she looked back to Akari, having temporarily forgotten for a second that she was in her birthday suit, blushed furiously, and then shook her head, trying to get her mind out of the gutter.

This was more difficult than learning Jutsu by a mile.

(Learned Shuriken Giant Body)

[72]

Akari would watch carefully as the brunette retrieved her shuriken. She had intended to get it back at the end of the day before leaving but this worked out too. It meant she could watch her lovers form as she body flickered over to retrieve the shuriken. She admired it immensely, seeing as her curves the move in ways that somehow, still stirred Akari even after all they’d done. This astounded the dark haired teen but she’d shrug it aside. Knowing that they had too much work to do at the moment for them to get back into that just now. When the brunette returned the Uchiha would watch as she simply tossed the shuriken up into the air to practice the hand sealed version and nodded her head as she caught it carefully. ‘Good..’ She would think as Kagura tossed the shuriken at the dummy and did the jutsu without hand seals.

“Excellent,” she would say as she looked to her partner and give her a congratulatory smile as she herself did the body flicker without seals, letting the brunette get her own visual should she want it. When she returned with the shuriken, casually dropping it onto the ground flat when she did. She would rest a hand on her hip and cock it to the side a little. This was a pose she did quite often when clothed so it wasn’t a surprise that she’d do it naked too. It displayed a supreme confidence in what she was doing. Which at this point was effectively an extreme confidence in her student. “That’s the last C rank Ninjutsu I have for you. Now we can move onto the B rank stuff.” She would say as she thought through her knowledge of jutsu before coming to a suitable one. “This one is called the Lion’s Mane, and it’s purpose is to provide a physical defense should you need it. You can also use it to cause your hair to move and constrict your opponents with noteworthy strength.” She would say as she slowly performed the hand seals for Kagura’s benefit. Tiger, Monkey, Bird, a simple sequence and quickly her already long dark hair would grow and wrap around her as a spiny defensive layer. “Obviously this won’t work well against purely elemental attacks like Fire, or Lightning. However anything physical it should help with considerably in a pinch.” She would say as she deactivated the jutsu, letting her hair return to normal with the exception of the loss of her ribbons. This caused her hair to tumble down untied, the darn things had been shredded by the jutsu. Oh well, that was life she supposed, she had plenty more.

Kagura couldn’t help it, her eyes glued to Akari as she moved, watching the ways her muscles flexed and relaxed naturally, admiring her lithe form, a smile creeping on her face as she knew that what she was looking at belonged to her. She didn’t plan on sharing either, a possessive streak running through her mind and body as she mentally made a promise to herself to not allow anyone else to see what she was gazing upon now. That was her exclusive right. The confidence she was naturally emitting was intoxicating, and made Kagura want to do better and get this next Jutsu right as well, despite how her hand twitched as her eyes lingered on the woman’s butt for just a moment longer before moving back to her eyes as she began to explain the next technique.

She watched the technique, very gently mourning the loss of the woman’s ribbon but nodding at the logic that she could always brush the woman’s hair later, and it would be easier considering she wouldn’t need to remove it. An image flashed through her mind of Akari wrapped up in nothing but a giant ribbon for her birthday, and made a mental note to surprise the smaller woman with that very idea sometime soon. A surprise present waiting to be unwrapped… yes, that would be fun… but for now she needed to focus damnit. Even as she witnessed the technique she thought about how she could use it to give them some privacy, even when they weren’t in private… but another idea passed through her mind that she wanted to try. First though, with the seals, she conducted the technique, her already long hair growing far more thick and nearly wrapping around her completely and growing in length nearly to the ground. She took a moment to feel the texture of the hair before focusing again, repeating the technique to where she had an absolutely obscene amount of hair.

Looking towards Akari, she gave her a mischievous smile for a moment and then ran forward suddenly, the hair acting like a cape for a moment before she jumped and tucked her entire body into a ball, causing the hair to wrap around her entire body while still rolling forward like a brown, spiky wrecking ball, which could be quite effective if she needed to plow through some kind of fortification. For a reason she couldn’t explain, she imagined a hedgehog performing this technique and rolling around, and stopped just short of Akari’s feet before unfolding and laying on the ground before her, too dizzy to move for a moment. Perhaps that hadn’t been such a great idea, she was too loopy to see straight or move much at all, helplessly laying before her partner on the ground as her hair slowly receded completely back to normal.

Akari felt her lover's eyes upon her, and reveled in it. Knowing that the woman watching her with pure desire was hers, and that she, Akari herself, was Kagura’s. It brought a smirk to her face as she considered that and wondered how many men in the world would cry out in sadness at knowing the two of them were off the market permanently with each other? She didn’t know, but entertaining the idea was amusing to her. As she finished the technique Kagura would seem lost in thought. Was she considering the technique? Or were her thoughts leaning in a more, worldly direction? She supposed she might find out eventually. The dark haired teen would watch as Kagura performed the jutsu twice, once with seals and once without, increasing the length and thickness of her hair each time until it engulfed her. Then she’d smile at her with that mischievous smile that Akari herself did and the blue eyed teen would raise a curious brow.

Then the brunette would roll at her, using her hair as a giant ball. The image was completely ridiculous and it sent Akari into giggling fits. When her lover stopped just shy of her Akari would dissolve into pure, unrestrained laughter. She would fall on the ground, holding her sides and everything. It would take her a few minutes to collect herself and if Kagura was still dazed from being too dizzy Akari would wrap her in her arms lovingly until she was able to move. “That was silly, and ill advised.” She would say the last with a small amount of laughter in her voice. “I love you, but maybe you should think about the potential consequences of trying something like that.” she would say, a small smile on her features. She would kiss her lovingly on the lips if able before deciding to patiently wait until she was ready for her to demonstrate the next jutsu on the list.

[73]

Kagura’s vision was still swimming, her head unconsciously trying to compensate by trying to ride the waves and slowly tilting and changing along with it until the kiss met her lips. She would kiss back lovingly for a moment, only pouting slightly as the woman broke the kiss and waited for her to get ready for the next technique. The tingling was already surging through her at the kiss, the passion ignited yet again but for the moment, she needed to patiently wait… bide her time until the time was right and she would strike. Slowly she wiped the pout off her face and stood up, getting herself ready again for the next jutsu.

“I’m not doing it because I think it’s going to be amazing for combat… but because I want to try and see if my ideas have any logic in a safe, enjoyable setting with an objective, gorgeous and intelligent observer to tell if the idea is any good.” Still could be useful, maybe, if she found a way to not get dizzy as hell as a result of turning herself into a human bowling ball. Now that she had laid her little logic down on the smaller woman, she gave her a playful smile and stuck her tongue out and waited for the lessons to continue.

[74]

Her kiss would be returned and she would relish it until it was time to break it. Smiling at Kagura’s slight pout when she did. Then her own mischievous smile would grace her features as she felt her own desire rising. “I’ll make you a deal.” She’d say, giving the brunette a smile that invited one to do many wonderful things. “Let’s finish with the non elemental ninjutsu. Once we do, We can do whateeeever you want. Then we’ll get to bukijutsu, and when we finish all of those we can have more fun. Then when we finish with Kenjutsu, we can spar and spend the rest of the day trying to drive each other insane with pleasure at home.” She would say, her teasing smile never dropping at the gorgeous brunette next to her. She’d punctuate the last with a quick kiss before standing up quickly. Her nature seeming to change on a dime. “Either way it’s time for the next technique.” She’d say, her words said with a small smirk to tell Kagura that she knew exactly what she was doing.

“The next technique is called ‘Needle Hell’ and it’s a technique that utilizes Lion’s Mane to work.” She would say, starting with the required hand seals for the first jutsu. Immediately her long, glossy, black hair would wrap around her, forming a cocoon of durable hair, leaving her face exposed. “It sharpens the hair and fires it in a cascade of razor sharp needles.” She would say as she performed the hand seal within the cocoon saying them allowed as she did since Kagura couldn’t see it. “Ox.” She would say before the cocoon around her stirred, effectively standing on it’s ‘ends’ per se and then launching at the same targets they’d used for the shuriken. The spiny hair follicles would regrow immediately, utilizing the chakra in the technique to stimulate the hair growth. After a moment she’d end the technique and return her hair to normal. “There’s one more technique that Lion’s Mane can use, after this, I’ll show it to you too.” She would say, cocking her hip and resting her hand upon it again as she watched.

[74]

A deal? Kagura’s attention finally perked up and out of the gutter for a moment, realizing that she had, at some point, started staring at the woman’s neck and memorizing where would be best to graze her teeth against the woman’s tender flesh. As she listened to the deal be proposed, her smile grew slowly more prominent on her face, the only change she made, and even then only in her mind, was that before the spar and after Kenjutsu techniques, she was probably going to have them take another ‘study break’ then… but she would surprise her with that one. She didn’t think, based on what she knew so far, that the smaller woman would complain too much. They needed to be able to stretch again before they sparred, after all. “Deal,” she would manage before the woman attempted to give her a quick kiss, but Kagura decided she wanted a much deeper, passionate one and held the dark haired teen captive for only a few extra seconds, ensuring she got a good taste before releasing her.

She wanted to make sure that despite agreeing to the deal, she was not in any way not thinking about it already, and looking forward to this evening.

Instinctively, as she found out the technique required Lion’s Mane, she seallessly re-grew her hair with that technique and waited for the next part of the instruction, nodding at what it was capable of doing. Because it was so similar, Kagura didn’t even need to worry about forming the seal to figure it out this time, opting instead to go straight for the method of sealless molding of the chakra. She knew that if she taught it to someone else, she would need to remember ‘Ox’ was the proper seal, but that wasn’t a problem. She had never had an issue forgetting techniques and such before. Looking at the targets, her own hair bristled like needles, and a few strands launched, smashing into the target in a barrage of brown spikes. “That’s handy… doubt anyone without long hair could pull this one off though…” She finished by disbanding the chakra needed for the needles, but keeping her hair long and thick, which framed her curvature well as she too cocked her hip and put a hand on it, mimicking her Sensei.

Akari would watch Kagura as she regrew her hair without seals, as she expected she might. Then watched as she performed the technique easily, opting to only use it once. Presumably she had only done it without seals but Akari could not see the woman’s hands when they were hidden by her hair. ‘Is she just that excited or did she just decide that the jutsu was too simple to bother doing it twice?’ She thought, wondering about which it might be for a moment before deciding that in the end, it really did not matter in the slightest. The jutsu was an easy step after utilizing Lion’s Mane after all so enforcing the ‘two times, one with and one without’ rule in regards to seals really did not seem necessary here. “Very good, and probably not. Which means if you ever entertain the notion of cutting your hair I’ll have an actual argument to use besides ‘But I don’t want you to.’” she would say, joking a bit at the end. She loved Kagura’s hair as it was and couldn’t wait to run her fingers through it later when they relaxed at home after whatever ‘entertainment’ they would provide to each other.

“The next jutsu is called ‘Needle Cloak’ and it’s essentially just ‘Lion’s Mane’ with more chakra running through it. It essentially increases the jutsu’s capabilities defensively and makes it more lethal. It also increases the size of the area too allowing you to protect others with it. It’s what I was going to have you practice Focused Amplification with before you decided to blind yourself instead.” She would say, grinning at her partner as she once again performed the Lion’s Mane technique again. This time she would utilize a boar hand seal, saying it aloud again. “Boar” before her channeled chakra into the technique made the cloak sharpen, and become much more ‘wild’ looking. As if there were more sharp implements there to cut and gut you with. She expanded the area to surround her and her partner, walked over a few feet and kissed her soundly. “Now we can kiss in public whenever we want and leave it up to everyone’s imaginations.” she said, a small, mischievous smile on her lips at the joke. No, sadly, for now at least, they couldn’t do such things in public. When Kagura was essentially no longer her student, yeah they could be as open as they wanted. But until then their entire relationship basically ‘okayed’ the idea to anyone who might want to date their students or teachers and that was a dangerous line. Rumours were fine, she didn’t care about those. However anything concrete could be detrimental to the forces as a whole. ‘I’ll have to find a way to block the byakugan from seeing into the clan home soon.’ she thought to herself, knowing that the Hyuga could essentially look into anyones home on a whim.
