Location: Tsukigakure no Sato; Port Caerula
Reward: 45,000 Ryo
Experience: 150 Experience
Objective: Eliminate all of the pirates before they reach the village's main walls, and don't let them escape.
Description: Pirates have shown up in Port Caerula. They are causing trouble with the workers there and if they aren't stopped, they will invade the village and burn it down. There is on ship docked at the port. There are twelve pirates to the ship. Each of these pirates are at least Chuunin or Special Jounin except for the leader who is Jounin.

---

Usually the Port of Caerula was as busy as ever, not just with people, but ships of all shapes and builds. People could  walked along the edge of the port and admired the calm and peaceful waters, the ships out in the ocean caused occasional small waves that made a pleasant sound against the pier. The wind was usually moderate offering a cool breeze in the hot sun and gave a very graceful feeling; it was usually a hot day at the port, but that didn't stop the civilians and merchants form working at the port.  It seem as if this was going to be another peaceful day. Merchants traveled to and fro, unloading their merchandise and loading up their bounties. Tsukigakure was considered the wealthy and neutralist  village at the moment, it was relatively safe to travel here and do business with little to no fear of robbery or death but unfortunately today wasn't going to be one of those easy going
day, all now, today there was going to be blood shed on the peaceful waters of the hidden moon village. The Battle for Tsukigakure would soon begin. The Day June the sixth would go down in Tsukigakure history.

Yuri Onmyoton was inside a abandoned and rundown building that over look the Port of Caerula, as she waited for nightfall to approach and for her Sensei Taizu Onmyoton to arrived at this location, Yuri would look through the crack window of the old building, staring through a pair of binoculars (Yuri's hasn't and can't buy her eye scope at the moment due to the lack of ryo but after this mission. Yeah.) Yuri has set up camp in this building for two days and soon to be three days. A couple of days ago. Yuri met up with Mika (her Friend, Mission Giver and Intelligence Officer?). Mika was nervously as she gave Yuri a report about a band of pirates that plan to invade they village, Mika explained to Yuri that the village lack the manpower at the moment to deal with the threat, which led to Yuri offering to take the mission by herself and of course Mika refused but once Yuri explained that she would bring her Sensei along for the mission, Mika sighed and gave Yuri the mission and gave Yuri a folder with some information on the pirates. Mika wished Yuri luck as the two of them apart. Mika really felt uneasily about sending Yuri on this mission but she didn't have any other choice, plus Yuri would be with her sensei and if the rumors about the Onmyoton clan were true, then this mission might just turn out successfully.

Once Yuri got the mission she realized quickly travel about to the compound and grab some important items for the mission, an Icha Icha book, sleeping bag and some food. Once Yuri had that she pray to her Lord and Savior Jirayia for good luck. She didn't knew where Taizu stay at so she manage to get an audience with the elders. Yuri gave the elders a map of where she would be at and ask them to give it to Taizu, if they see her.

Back to the current situation, Yuri had watched as the pirates harass and scared away the local workers and seaman from the port, Yuri would have jump in and stop them but she knew with Taizu, she would be easily kill by the pirates, she knew that the pirates had chuunin and special jonin with the sole exception of the leader who was a Jonin, a dangerous foe all by itself. So with that Yuri, just watch from afar for the past few days, taking notes about the pirates she saw. "I hope I'm not deadweight on this mission." Yuri mutter quietly to herself, as she look through her lunch bag and munch on an apple. This was her first A-Rank mission, Yuri was nervous about she didn't want to let her village down.

An odd assortment of pirates, twelve in total; mostly Chuunin and SPC Jounin, but there was a Jounin leading them. They were on a ship out in the port and had been going through the pier and harassing the workers and the merchants. Sheffield was sitting on the main mast above the ship, looking down on the pirates and studying their habits, discussions & intentions; apparently they had prepared sufficiently the last few days to start their raid on Tsukigakure- tomorrow was their planned attack day. She stayed there for a while and just watched them, none of them suspected her to be so near them; they were too busy gambling or loading supplies.

It was getting near sunset though and Sheffield needed to go find her student, her student had gone ahead on the mission and was set up in an abandoned building not too far away; Yuri was a bit eager for her first A Rank mission. She climbed off the backside of the main mast and scaled the back of the ship and walked away at a casual pace across the water from the ship. She walked right up the docks of the pier and into the city, before rounding back to the building where she knew Yuri would be: she only entered the building after she was certain she wasn't being followed.

The young Onmyoton girl was already here with her sleeping supplies and camped out, using binoculars to study the pirates from afar. Sheffield opened the door to the building slowly and stepped inside when her student was intent on looking through the binoculars at the pirates. She snuck up behind the girl and gave her a good poke in the ribs. Boo!~ She would make the girl yipe and jump in surprise from being startled and she would snicker. So Yu-chan, have you been here this whole time watching the pirates? What have you gathered so far in information that we could use?

If it had been a solo mission, Sheffield would have just stayed atop the main mast of the ship, summoned Nero to wreak havoc while she used a Genjutsu to eliminate the opponents one by one. The intentions of this mission was to take her student and have a successful mission while also showing Yuri how effective the Onmyoton bloodline was in actual combat. From her knowledge, the young Onmyoton girl had only sparred with a few people and done lower ranked missions. This was a good opportunity to open Yuri's eyes a little to the truth and cruelty of the shinobi world.

Yuri was accustomed to the viciousness of her own clan, but even so, she was still sheltered from the real harshness of the shinobi world, the Elder's were raising the younger generation within the walls of Tsukigakure... possibly for the intention of personal gain within the village.. a bit of unsettling information.

She would chat with Yuri a bit and have a little harmless fun before she would sit down on her own sleeping bag she had brought and laid it beside Yuri's sleeping bag. She sat atop it and pulled out some melon bread she had bought, she split it in half and offered Yuri a half, In the morning is when we'll make our assault, it's ideal to strike them while their on the ship and all clustered up. Feel free to fight how you like, just let me have the initial assault.

The plan was pretty simple, the two girls would attack together before the pirates could leave the ship, a quick and ruthless surprise attack and slaughter every single pirate aboard the ship.

As Yuri bit into her apple she was unaware that her sensei had enter the building. Yuri sense of awareness could use some serious improvement, especially being born into a clan like hers. Also Yuri could have add some base defenses, hidden traps and some surveillance equipment in and around the building also. but Yuri was so excited about going on a mission with Tai-chan, she didn't plan too well.  So what happen next shouldn't come as a huge shock, when her playful sensei decided to scare her for fun. The poor Onmyoton Chuunin, let out an embarrassing high pitch scream as she fell onto the ground, landing on her rear end, nearly choking on her half eaten apple. After Yuri near-death experience from death via apple choking, she was red from mixture of anger and embarrassment. Mostly embarrassment  as she look up at Tai-chan with a not so mean glare, her glare lost it sting with her blushing face. "Don't laugh! Tai-chan!" Yuri slightly pleaded with her Sensei but Taizu snicker anyway which cause Yuri to sighed. Once Yuri fought down her blush and got over her embarrassment. Yuri closed her eyes, as took a deep breath and release it.

"Yes, Tai-chan for the past two days I been camp out here watching the pirates and been gather some information on them. I figure it was best to gather some information on our enemy instead of just running in blindly into the hornet's nest." Even with her eyes close, Yuri manage to push Tai-chan a tan colored folder, that contain all the information she gather on the pirates at the moment. "Open the folder, it will gave you some insight into some of the pirates I saw.

Yuri's Notes:

Yuri would waited until Taizu finished looking over the notes before she would open her eyes and speak once more. "I hope you find some useful information on them. Maybe we can capture one or few of the pirates and bring them back to the village?" As Yuri laid down on her sleeping bag, she been thinking about becoming an interrogator of the village, she did love learning and gaining information. She prefer to captured her targets then kill them, if was given a choice in the matter. When Sheffield offer Yuri some of her melon bread, Yuri thank her and toss the piece into her mouth, it was tasty. After she finished eating the tasty treat, Yuri would look at her sensei with some doubt in her eyes . "I hope I'm useful on this mission. I feel like deadweight at the moment. I happy to do an A-rank mission but I feel like I'm underprepared for this mission. I don't even have an A-rank Jutsu in my arsenal!" After voicing her self-doubt Yuri sighed and look down to the floor. "So the plan is just to assault the pirates head on? They have us outnumber! Who know what hidden traps and nasty suspires might be waiting for us." Yuri didn't
want to question her sensei judgment back this plan sounded a bit risky for just the two them to pull off.

Yuri's reaction had been perfect, cute even in an embarrassing way; she would have to use this embarrassing moment at a later time as blackmail or something. She had snickered to herself at Yuri's reaction and was now trying to console the girl's embarrassed face by giving her some of Sheffield's melon bread; the girl ate it gladly and even but was apparently still too embarrassed to look her sensei in the eyes. The girl was likely embarrassed that she had been careless and caught by surprise, especially from her sensei! Being caught while being stealthy and sneaking was quite disgraceful to the clan... the clan who excelled in the shadows and promoted one-ness with the shadows, rather than trying to stand out in any way.

It was only natural though, of course Sheffield could sneak up on this new Chuunin girl, she had studied her for a long time and was more skilled regardless. Needless to say, Sheffield could move throughout the whole clan without worrying too much of being noticed or spotted; she was the prodigy of the first generation after all, Yuri was the second generation and Sheffield was curious to see how well she would do. Likely the second generation would be better, but that wouldn't be decided until the girl was older and more skilled. Until then, she was completely at Sheffield's mercy, whether she knew it or not. She had bended the clan Elders' minds to give her Yuri as a student, her decisions were considered that of the same standard as an edict from the Elder's themselves- above that though, if Sheffield wanted, Yuri couldn't resist her willpower: if necessary, she could manipulate the girl's mind to her will or trap her so far in a Genjutsu that the girl would not know what was real or fantasy.

She shrugged off those unpleasant thoughts though, she liked this young cheerful girl; she had managed to retain some of her cheerful disposition and hadn't been turned into an emotionless robot like so many other Onmyoton with closed minds. Sheffield turned her attention to the brown portfolio Yuri had procured and stored important information in; she browsed through the pictures of the pirates and the information Yuri had stored about them- it was a decent bit of information, though hardly any of it Sheffield hadn't already known by a closer inspection on them. Apparently not even Yuri had noticed Sheffield at the ship and monitoring their targets, she would have to train the girl's eyes to know what to look for. She closed her eyes for a moment and thought long and hard, there was a lot of training necessary for Yuri- much more than she had originally anticipated.

Discipline was one major one that was apparent right now, Yuri needed t learn to control her excitement and worry; her carelessness and excitement had limited her from noticing important information, as well as drop her guard. Good job, Yu-chan~ we can use this information on our assault in the morning. Unfortunately, we have been ordered to kill every single one of these targets; even if we were allowed to deviate from the command by the village, you know our clan would accept nothing less than total annihilation.

She wanted to tell the girl that the people could live, but both of them knew better than that- had it been different, Sheffield wouldn't have minded letting some of them be useful to the village. This was their first mission together though and it was A Rank... much higher than Yuri's mission capabilities- Sheffield couldn't afford for the girl to die and couldn't afford to have her cover blown or compromised in any way. All of the pirates would have to die. She looked across her sleeping bag to Yuri on her sleeping bag, she could see the concern and doubt welling up in the girl's eyes; was she going to cry?

She ripped off another piece of melon bread and stuffed it in Yuri's mouth to stop her babbling before she could get emotional. This is well above your rank and pay grade, of course you won't be able to do perfectly on this mission. You are skilled, but do you think you could outmatch more than two chuunin yourself? We are going up against twelve pirates, all of which are at least Chunin level- divided evenly, that's six for each of us; granted I don't expect you to be able to handle more than one or two of them at a time. She tore off another piece of melon bread and stuffed it in her own mouth and chewed as she let Yuri consider the reality and danger of the situation before she continued.

These pirates are mostly of a Suiton based nature, they are on a ship, surrounded by nothing but massive amounts of water. Calm yourself down Yu-chan, think with your mind rather than your doubts, doubt will get you killed regardless of how skilled I am. I expect you to be able to hold your own at least, anything less and we will be doing remedial training starting tomorrow.

She had been somewhat harsh on the girl, but in a caring way- mostly by stuffing her mouth with tasty food and indirectly promising there would be a "tomorrow" for them after the mission. Her goal was intended to make Yuri think of possibilities and the reality of the situation- a full assault even if a surprise attack would be suicidal, obviously Sheffield meant they would make a surprise attack but indirectly, causing chaos and inflicting heavy casualties before they made an appearance... heck, if they even needed to make an appearance.

If anything, Sheffield was planning to summon Nero on board the ship and letting him have a field day, she had some other thoughts in mind on how she would dispose of the large number of foes... but she would keep them quiet for now and see what her student had thought of. She waited for the girl to calm down. Now then, I have a plan... but I want to hear a bit about your battle strategy; what do you think we should do?

Yuri was about to voice more of her doubt as she was reaching an emotional break down until Taizu stuff some melon bread into her mouth. "Am I really this weak and fragile before the mission even begins, fill with constant doubt of my abilities? Is this just nervousness on my part or have I open my eyes and see the true extent of my abilities. " Yuri look at Taizu with sadness and doubt, it did look like Yuri might burst into tears but Yuri held them in as she listen to her Sensei and friend (maybe) speech. Mentally repeating everything that Taizu said to her.

Taizu's speech wrote:

"This is well above your rank and pay grade, of course you won't be able to do perfectly on this mission. You are skilled, but do you think you could outmatch more than two chuunin yourself? We are going up against twelve pirates, all of which are at least Chuunin level- divided evenly, that's six for each of us; granted I don't expect you to be able to handle more than one or two of them at a time."

Well if the intent of Taizu was to make Yuri feel any better with that speech or maybe pep talk, it didn't work. In fact it would make Yuri even question herself more but of course Yuri didn't voice these doubts out loud. "Geez she doesn't even expect me to handle even one of the pirates? Good Lord Jiraiya am I really that untalented or that unprepared for this task? Do I really deserve to be call an Onmyoton? I want to bring the clan to new heights but if I can't even completed this mission then what hope do I have in the clan? If they don't decided to wipe away my existence for my failure that is." Yuri rub her forehead as she was assessing  her current skills and battles she has down in the past. So far she had only spar with two genin level opponents, yes Yuri did won both of the spars, but she could have done lot better in those spars, the last spar she nearly lost, if was only dumb luck that her opponent didn't decided to finish Yuri off when she had the chance. Yuri was able to place her in genjutsu and win the spar by the skin of her teeth, if her opponent pace them herself more, the whole battle could have come out different. At least the spar had an pleasure outcome, Yuri and her opponent did have some fun but that can be talk about later. After Yuri clam herself down a bit, she took another deep breathe to relax.

"No I can't Tai-chan. Useless right?" Yuri answer was blunt, short and got right to the point. Some people might view this a Yuri having a low self-esteem, which is true to some extent, especially when it comes to serious relationships but again this wasn't the time or place to discussed that. "After looking over my current skill set and prior combat experience, I wouldn't fool myself into think that I can, a ninja should know there limitations right?" It might not have been the response Sheffield was looking for but it couldn't be help. With a deep sighed Yuri watched Taizu eat and thought about the dangers of the mission, she could be captured by pirates and be use as a sex slave or servant. Or it they Yuri unappealing they could just kill her and toss her over the plank, feeding her remains to the sharks or what dangerous sea creatures lurking in the waters of the hidden moon village.

"A fight with them on the opens waters would be a literally death trap. Especially if any of them turn out be from the Hozuki clan, a band of ninja pirates located in the village of Shippugakure. Famous for their ability to use the Hydrification Technique or to put in civillans terms, they can turn their bodies into water and use it do well...water based jutsu."

As Taizu ask Yuri about her battle plan, Yuri smiled a bit, from the last time that she and Taizu was together, Yuri has added to her arsenal of jutsu, which she is very proud of, even if they did cause her a fortune. "Well I was think that I didn't have to move far from this postiton, I created tool that would allow me, to fight my foes beyond visual range combat, I still need my eye scope in order to seem them but I'm saving up Ryo for that, hopefully this missions pays a lot. Also I created a archer, that can help us with long range support. Then there a creature I made for close combat, he might even be too much for Nero. he" Yuri paused for a bit, to pull out her Icha Icha book. "In short I was thinking of bombing the enemy from a distance with bow fire, and then once my archer runs out of arrows, our beasts can be summon and use to finish off the remaining pirates. I still think we should captured at least one of the pirates. I understand what the elders expect but...." Yuri then all of suddenly stop her line of thought, she wasn't about to said the elders expectations didn't matter for her. Plus, the perverted side of Yuri really did wanted to "meet" the second in command, she felt like Taizu was Icha-blocking her, which annoyed Yuri to some extent. She just want to get a "feel" of the second in command. Since Taizu pretty much put Yuri in the friend zone, Yuri had to unleashed her perverseness on someone, if not Tai-chan, it was harder to stay non-perverted around her lovely Sensei. Well at least she can enjoyed Tai-chan as eye candy.

"You should get some rest for the night, D-Day starts tomorrow. I can stay up for night, I'm used to training all through the night, plus I need to prepare my melody flute for the up and coming assualt. " D-Day was Yuri codename for the mission, she got the idea from an ancient textbook she found in the Onmyoton Library. Yuri would placed her hands beside her mouth, appearing to be a holding a flute of some type. It took Yuri several seconds as she gather both of her elements together and fuse them together in order to use her Onmyoton Bloodline ability. So a black mass of Onmyoton could been seen taking the form of a flute, it was size of piccolo flute. The flute was still in the illusion phase but once the jump to fantasy to reality was made, Yuri would grinned at Sheffield and began to play her a song on the flute, It wasn't well known but Yuri could play the flute well or at least in her mind, but she would let Tai-chan be the judge of that. (A Random Flute Song)

Description: Yuri makes a black flute using her bloodline ability, Onmyoton or yin-yang release. The flute is use to increase the range (See Range above) of genjutsu by using sound.  This allows Yuri to cast genjutsu on targets that are out of her visual range. The flute when materialized, it can withstand attacks that are Rank-D and lower. ANy attack rank higher than D will break the flute.

Spoiler:

•Effect: All Genjutsu-based jutsu can either be pure genjutsu or genjutsu materialized. Materialized Genjutsus must have a 1 charge post. A Genjutsu that has already been cast can be materialized after 1 post of charge if the opponent does not dispel it. Genjutsus are cast on foes by a clap of the hands, snap of the fingers or eye contact.

Her speech hadn't been a pep-talk or motivational speech at all, she was purposefully harsh on the girl to make her understand the seriousness of the situation. Yuri could be sad and depressed all she wanted, but only after this mission; for now, she needed Yuri's full attention and cooperation to make this a clean and efficient mission without suffering damage or casualties on their end. For a bit, it looked like Yuri was thinking hard and would come up with an impressive plan to suggest to Sheffield, but when she opened her eyes- Sheffield could see that she had defeated herself. Very low self esteem apparently, self esteem usually came from unsuccessful relationships- as is most common with young adults.

It was just a guess, but a very good guess- especially since Sheffield herself had teased and led the girl on a bit and then friend-zoned her; the poor girl still hadn't likely overcome that disappointment. Sheffield remembered the girl's face when she had first shown the girl that she was only toying with her heart, such an angry face. You're letting your self doubt and low self esteem cloud your judgment, Yu-chan. She wasn't too sure how to brighten the girl's mood, or at least steel her heart to prepare fully for this mission- the girl was stuck in her own incompetence and wasn't being too smart.

It was true that it was important to know your limitations in combat, but Yuri wasn't considering her strong points; she had plenty of jutsu in her arsenal and she was focusing on how weak she was. You my not be as strong as you like Yu-chan, but you will get there in time; no one who gains sudden power is able to use it properly, you must progress and get used to your power to utilize it to its fullest potential.

Suddenly the girl had an idea and she began to discuss the potential of it to Sheffield, it was mostly a long range plan; it had its merit, but there would have to be some changes to it. Long range is okay in some instances, but we need to redirect a bit of your creativity. If we fight them at long range, chances of them escaping with minimal casualties is high.. especially considering they are surrounded by water. If they employed a Hidden Mist jutsu around the ship(which is quite possible) your long range would be completely useless. she ate the last of the melon bread and began to suck on her fingers to clean them off as she looked at Yuri a bit playfully.

Summon this archer of yours for long range, but don't give it the command to start its barrage until we start out first strike. Speaking of Nero, I am summoning him tomorrow to catch the attention of the foes while I employ less noticeable tactics... genjutsu mostly to eliminate their forces before they even turn their attention to us. Sheffield leafed through the portfolio again of the individuals Yuri had gathered information on during her campout; she paused on the second-in-command, the only female on the ship... she could be useful, not in the way one might think, but she could serve her purpose... even if it was a short one... or long, however Yuri liked.

She watched as Yuri began to create a flute with her Onmyoton ability, she had become quick at materializing her imagination over the last couple of weeks. Sheffield had fully intended to get a good nights sleep, it was half tempting to make her student stay up and post guard... but she needed the girl fully charged and alert in the mind. She used her Genjutsu on Yuri and materialized Nero a short time later, the big behemoth barely fit inside the small building and took up the half of the room where the door and windows were. Nero will keep guard, he doesn't get tired after all. You and I will have a good time and get some much needed sleep, but first you need to relax some, let me change into my sleeping clothes first.

She got up from her sleeping bag and walked over to Nero as she began to unbutton her pants and pulled them down just as Nero's tail came up to block her lower body from view. She turned suddenly to face Yuri, who was likely watching her and blushing; Sheffield kicked off her pants and even slipped off her panties and threw the clothes on top of Nero's tail, right in Yuri's sight. She put on a fresh pair of V strong black panties and then had Nero raise his tail a little to cover her naval to her shoulders as she unbuttoned her shirt and pulled it off. She replaced it with a semi-see through night shift gown and then stepped out from around Nero and crawled on her sleeping bag again beside Yuri.

That was a pretty song, I can tell you've been practicing. Now then, let me help you relax a bit. Lay on your sleeping bag on your stomach.

Spoiler:

"Thank you for complimenting my flute playing, In between my research (Better known as Hot springs peaking or spying on beautiful  woman from far ), my Genjutsu training and missions, I do have to find an activity that  non-perverted related or stress free. I have meditation but I become of using the flute after reading a book about a certain foul mouth, female red-haired ninja." Yuri starting to feel better, her mood was improving for the better, maybe she could be a musical star like Sheffield. "Wait like Sheffield, where did this line of thinking come from? She was a traitor to the Onmyoton clan! Well sort of ... no I can't, won't and will not question the word of the elders. I'm a loyal Onmyoton to the end, nothing will change that." Yuri thought she was saying this quietly in her head but she was unaware that she was voicing her thoughts out loud and she was close and loud enough for Taizu to hear every word she just said. Even with the her doubts and nervousness filling her head and heart, she still had Sheffield on her mind, and even desire to be like her, in some way. She was sure Sheffield wouldn't be this worried about a mission and Yuri shouldn't be too worried herself, she did had Taizu by her side. Plus what would her number one rival and best friend Yuumaru Senju said if he saw her like this. He would tell her to have faith in yourself! Be positive and never give up! With a smile of hope and confident showing on her face after she thought about her best friend, Yuri would turn around and look at Taizu to said something but Yuri's poor mind went to mush as she find herself at a lost for words. "Uh" That was the most intelligence thing Yuri could said at the moment, how awesome. Taizu still could mess with Yuri's mind. Yuri noticed how Tai-chan lick her fingers clean and gave her a playful stare, which Yuri didn't read into much, she knew that the both of them were friends and would stay friends. Even if Taizu constantly sent mixed messages to poor and confused Yuri. "Damn it, does Taizu know what type of effect she having on me, when she does stuff like that! Is she doing this purpose? Uh...clam down Yuri, she probably doesn't know any better."

Letting out a sigh of annoyance, she watched Taizu walk over towards and nearly instantly blush. Yuri really did try to look away but her curious and perverted nature were overwhelming her at this point, she couldn't tore her eyes away from Taizu as she began to undressed right in front of her! And luckily for Yuri she was starting with her pants. Yuri was unknowingly biting her lip, as she Taizu unbutton her pants but faith and/or Taizu teasing nature was against Yuri this evening as Nero, block the lower half of Taizu from view, Yuri mentally pouted and curse at Nero for screwing up her view. But when Taizu suddenly face Yuri, Yuri blushed got even deeper, she hope Taizu wouldn't hit her for staring, Taizu have known that Yuri was going to stare at her changing her clothes. Once again Yuri mentally ask herself, "Is she doing this on purpose?" But any thought quickly stop as Yuri saw Taizu's panties land right on Nero's tail. Yuri even dropped the Icha Icha book she had in her hand. Yuri bit down on her lower lip more as Taizu countined to change her clothes until she was finally dressed in semi- see thru (How terribly sad and disappointing for Yuri. Taizu was evil, that was a small part of Yuri thought.)  night shift gown. "Yo-u l-ook...ni-ce Tai-chan" Yuri said a bit fluster at the sight of Tai-chan and slightly nervous. She even stutter a bit, not as bad as Hinata when she around Naruto but close enough.

"Relax? Yes I could use some help relaxing Tai-chan. Uh okay, I will laid on my sleeping bag.." Yuri just decided to shut up at that point and laid on her stomach. "Are you going to give me a massage?" Yuri really hope Taizu would say yes, Yuri really did loved receiving massages, it been ages snice she last gotten one, the last one she receive was from Yuumaru and he was absolutely wonderful at it until his Ecchi moment had to ruined it, which caused Yuri to pout, why can't see just recivce a normal message for once. "If you are, please be gentle? Or whatever you are planning please be gentle with me. ha, I rather not hurt myself before our big mission tomorrow. " If was a genuine and reasonable request from Yuri, she had to be in peak condition or else risk her death.

Apparantly Yuri was thinking out loud again and wasn't even aware of it, Sheffield just listened and tried not to smirk to herself; her subconscious influence on the girl was working, if slowly, but even still. Even still, the girl might be conforming to her way of thinking too slowly; it was only a matter of time before someone discovered the real Taizu's body & identified it... she regretted not letting Nero eat the corpse.. that was careless of her.

her innocent line of reasoning had been enough for now and she knew what effect her playful manner would have on the young perverted girl, but she wasn't intended to tease the girl; rather get the girl used to Sheffield's body and not see it as an object of lust, rather an ideal to strive towards, physically at least. Sheffield needed the young Onmyoton girl to see Sheffield as solely her master and sensei rather than an attractive single woman. While it would often be confused as teasing or being led on, Sheffield's overall goal for now was complacency- make the girl so used to Sheffield and her body that she didn't consider it as an arousing feature.

What good was the girl in combat if she too became subject to Sehffield's Genjutsu just because she couldn't help herself but look at Sheffield's lewd tactics. Sheffield needed someone she could rely on in and out of battle; currently, Yuri was neither of those... but some time and training, both physically and mentally, Yuri would prove worthy of being her student and ally. Moreso physically and tactically rather than in ideals and mind: that would take more time, maybe more time than Sheffield had to teach the girl.

She watched and smiled as the stuttering, flush faced embarrassed girl agreed to lay down and then proceeded to lay down on her sleeping bag with her face to the right side. Sheffield scooted her sleeping back right up against Yuri's sleeping bag and kneeled on the soft fabric and used it as a cushion for her scantily dressed form. Just close your eyes and relax your body, I can visibly tell that you are really tense. Sheffield took the girl's arms and placed them against her sides, she looked down at the girl and thought for a minute... she hadn't given a massage in a long time, and her own massages had been by her mother; she never did massages with clothes on. It ruined the feel and visual aid that was necessary to provide a complete body massage; this wouldn't do.

Sheffield sat back on her heels after a few seconds of pausing and deep deliberation, Yuri was beginning to relax some, but not enough- what she was about to command her student to do, would most likely cause the girl to become more tense... for a bit at least. Yu-chan, I need you to take your clothes off so I can give you a proper massage. It was a bit sudden and she said it so casually that she wasn't sure how her student would take her command.

As Yuri closed her eyes, she would try to relax. It was hard when you have a attractive single female women (an Onmyoton woman to boot too) right beside her.  "Stay focus Yuri! You have mission on hand plus you know things Tai-chan will never get past the friendship zone? So why am I even feeling and reacting like this, she already mess with my heart when we first met, I was so angry and foolish back then but even know I'm just as foolish if not even more foolish than before. I can't her tease and mess with me again? I don't know what to do."

And just when Yuri need help the most the voice of Yuri Onmyoton ancestor, Megumi Ootustuki's the bastard daughter of the sage of six paths spoke in Yuri's head, with hint of disappointed. "I thought my first reincarnation would be better than this. You don't need to think about her in such a lewd way, when you have me to fulfill your needs and in turn my needs. Unlike the woman besides you, we are more than friends, I think our first meeting would  be a proof of that " The seductive voice of Yuri ancestor Megumi Ootustuki sighed happily as Yuri blushed even more at the thought. "You know your are right, Megumi, Tai-chan is attractive but she not as lovely as you my Goddess of Genjutsu." Yuri would said, just as happily as Megumi sighed. "Of course I'm Yuri, don't worry you will find a sexy woman who will love you. Willing to form the deeper relationship that you seek. For now focus on your mission and also after you finish your mission meet me in the Nox forest, I'm glad you found a Sensei but I have my own way of training you.. " Megumi Ootustuki said in almost a evil way. "I should be worried right?" Yuri could only dream of the training her ancestor had in store for her "Yes" Megumi would say in bluntly "Until we met again Yuri Onmyoton and good luck on your mission, show the pirates the true power of an Onmyoton. Show them the power of Megumi Ootustuki. Show them the power of Yuri Onmyoton" And with those final words, the voice of Megumi Ootustuki was gone. "I will do that Megumi Ootustuki, The rise of Yuri Onmyoton will start and I will prove myself to everyone on what I can do, starting with this mission! Thank you ancestor, you have help me clear my mind and insisted confidence in me. " Unless Taizu could read the mind of Yuri or enter her thoughts, there wasn't any signs of the short mental conversation happening besides the Yuri's blush getting slightly darker but that could simply be blame on the sexiness of Tai-chan.

As Yuri waited for Sheffield to help her relaxed she would fight down the blush on her face as her face return to normal appearance. Yuri let out a relaxed sigh and open her eyes but she tense slightly as Taizu ask her to take off her clothes. She said it so causally that if threw Yuri off for a bit but not for long. "She just my sensei and nothing more. " Yuri would repeat this phrase in her head several times before she would respond to Taizu but how would Yuri responded.  "Your right I'm tense and with you being near me dressed like that, it not helping me at the moment, I will admit that I'm turn on and getting lewd thoughs, so I think respectfully disobey your command, punish me if you want but do it after the mission Taizu. We should sleep now. I need to focus my mind on something else." Yuri said in respectful tone with a barely noticeable hint of anger, as she turn her head away from the scantily dressed sensei and close her eyes. As Yuri for the sweet embrace of sleep to take her, she would think about her jutsu and which one would be the most helpful for the upcoming task. After telling Taizu what she had to said. Yuri would remained silent as she begin to count sheep to help her fall asleep.

Yuri had considered her command for a moment; to Sheffield, it seemed as if Yuri was considering obeying her request or not- then her face changed slightly and she seemed to know what to say. She declined the massage and even admitted her thoughts were starting to run wild: Sheffield wasn't angry, she was glad Yuri had gotten the mental fortitude to disobey her for what she believed was best. Indirectly, whether Yuri realized it or not, she had disobeyed the Elders; their instructions to her had been to do as she asked and consider her words straight from the Elders themselves. Sheffield grinned to herself as Yuri turned over and tried to focus on sleeping, it wasn't necessary to point out that subtle fact to the girl; pointing it out could be counter-productive to the work she had made in Yuri's mind.

Sheffield sat back on her sleeping bag on her butt as her student tried to focus on sleeping, I understand Yu-chan, I want you to think of me more as a friend or mother rather than an attractive female: it might take some time though. Anyways, go to sleep Yu-chan; you don't have to worry about being vigilant tonight, Nero will guard and alert us if necessary. She patted Yuri on the head and then crawled into her own sleeping bag next to Yuri and zipped it up halfway. She turned to the younger girl who was trying to keep her eyes clothes, By the way Yu-chan, I like massages too; so maybe sometime after the mission, I'll have you give me a massage.

She said it in more of a tone with a request rather than a demand, Yuri wasn't able to see Sheffield in a neutral way yet and Sheffield didn't want to ruin hat success the girl had made so far. Sheffield closed her eyes after that and rested, listening to Yuri's breathing patterns until she was certain the girl had fallen asleep: on the likely chance Yuri was listening to her breathing patterns, Sheffield was controlling her breathing and changed it to appear to be asleep.

---

Sheffield woke up before her student, her custom was waking up early, but she had slept in a little bit later because she was allowed the luxury. She rolled over to see her sleeping student, she had such an innocent peaceful face while she was asleep; Sheffield wondered what kind of sleeping face she had... especially considering she was wearing a corpse's face over hers. Not at all too creepy. Sheffield unzipped her sleeping bag and crawled out in her scantily dressed outfit, it was much more revealing in the early morning light; she walked over by Nero and grabbed her clothes, but she didn't go behind Nero, Yuri was still asleep after all.

She grabbed the bottom lip of her night shift and lifted it off over her head, then she sat on the floor and pulled on her pants and stood up to pull them above her panties and then buttoned them and tightened her belt. After that, she put on her shirt and tied her boots; now that she was fully dressed, she grabbed her nighty clothes and stuffed them in a pack, rolled up her sleeping bag and packed it up as well. Everything was all ready and cleaned up on her side before she would turn her attention to her student; it was always best to be the first one ready, especially when teaching a student discipline.

She knelt down beside Yuri's sleeping bag and put a hand on the girl and gave her a couple light shakes to rouse her from her sleep. Yu-chan, it's time to wake up and get ready; we have a mission to accomplish today. I thought maybe you'd like some breakfast before we went?

As Yuri continue her efforts to sleep, she would listenly sliently to her Senesi and repeated everything she said in her mind

Taizu wrote:

"I understand Yu-chan, I want you to think of me more as a friend or mother rather than an attractive female: it might take some time though. Anyways, go to sleep Yu-chan; you don't have to worry about being vigilant tonight, Nero will guard and alert us if necessary."

Now, as Yuri thought about what Taizu said, she mentally cringle at the thought when Tai-chan said she would rather Yuri to see her as a mother. At first Yuri was hot and bothered when she was trying to fall sleep. But Tai-chan has done something that was completely unimaginable and nearly impossible for any man or woman to do, she just instantly kill Yuri sex drive, right there and then. "I really wish she didn't said that, now I can't get the image of my mother out of head." Yuri shivered a bit, resisting the urge to become sick, she couldn't get sea sick before the big mission today, that would have suck. "Now I don't have a problem with Milfs or Mother I like to (everyone should know what the f stands for), in fact I find them highly attractive but all in all the name that is perverted and sexy, I do not want to even think about my mom in a sexual away! Parents aren't sexy and I don't have an incest fetish, I might be a pervert but even I have my standards." Yuri resisted the urge (the incredibly strong urge, mind you) to open her eyes and just look at Tai-chan and give her a "Are you serious or what the hell Tai-chan?" face type of look. After what they been thought, don't Tai-chan think that having a mother and daughter type of relationship would be extremely awkward, I mean Tai-chan have to know that Yuri had well less than pure thoughts about her right? I mean sure some people might have that perverted fantasy of having a mother and daughter getting it on but not Yuri...she wouldn't mind a threesome with a mother and daughter though, that doesn't count right? "Uh how about if I view you as a extremely attractive friend that I have no chance of scoring with ever, despite her mix signals. Sensei Tai-chan? No offense but it would be too awkward to see you as a mother figure. Kind of wish you didn't brought it up." Yuri still had her eyes closed. She really want to sleep now, her thoughts were becoming way to awkward for her.

"Massage you? Uh, I don't know, I won't lie I'm selfish when comes to massages, I prefer receiving them, not giving them." Well Yuri sex-drive was dead but not her perverted mind, after saying that, Yuri would giggle lightly before she yawn. "Good night, Tai-chan and sweet dreams...friend?" Yuri did made some progress today but it would take time, it would be hard to completely remove the lewd thoughs about Taizu out of the mind of someone as perverted as Yuri.

After Taizu finished speaking, Yuri would remained awake for awhile, listen to her Sensei breathing, listening to the peaceful sound of her sensei sleeping. Once Yuri assume Taizu was sleep, she fell sleep herself.

---

Sadly for Tai-chan, Yuri's pervert senses kick in, which cause Yuri to suddenly open her eyes, Yuri have just awaken up to see Taizu pull of her night shirt...now usually Yuri would have blush at this point but this time she fought down her urges, as she silently watched Taizu change her clothes, Yuri only bit her lip slightly, she still saw Taizu as an attractive woman but at least she has gotten somewhat use to her looks.

When Taizu went to wake her up, Yuri look up as Taizu as she shook her lightly a couple of times. "I was wake and watching you dress. Sensei" Yuri bit her tongue to stop herself from saying more but Yuri did notice that her statement could be token as slightly creepy. "I'm not hungry let get started with the mission" Yuri would sit up from her bed and roll up her sleeping bag and set in a corner of the building, then Yuri would pick up her Icha Icha book and stuff it in her skirt pocket. After that Yuri would kneel on the ground, looking down at the floor. Her face become serious as she pray for success.

“Lord Jiraiya almighty, in a few short moments me and my Sensei, Taizu Onmyoton will be in battle with the enemy, Our enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle-hardened. They will fight savagely. We do not join battle afraid. We do not ask favors or indulgence but ask that, if You will, use us as Your instrument for the right and an aid in returning peace to the hidden moon village. Your loyal and faithful servant, Yuri Onmyoton.”

After that, Yuri would stand up and look Taizu in the eye, do you remember what I said about having a sevarnt that could put Nero to the test, well here he is. He will join Nero on the assault of the ship. Yuri place her hand on the ground as she cast a genjutsu summoning(?). It didn't took long before until a seven foot tall man, dressed in only a horse mask and white boxers appeared in front of Yuri. The horseman had his mushroom shape hammer pointed towards the roof, as he did the robot. Yuri continued to charge her illusion until it became reality. "This is my one of my servants that will be helping us in the mission. I will summon the archer once the initial assault has started. Yuri would then began to charge her Inton element in advanced so she summon the archer in its reality  form immediately. "Are you ready" Yuri would smirked lightly as her horseman would dance around her, it was quite strange but it was strong. "Never eat strange mushrooms when making a genjutsu"

The horseman will dance around the battle, while swing his mushroom shape hammer in attempt to Yuri's crush foes and objects with its mushroom shape hammer, impact from the horesman can cause bone fractures on direct impact to people with B Rank END & lower and bend metals up to iron.

Genjutsus are cast on foes by a clap of the hands, snap of the fingers or eye contact.

So trying to get Yuri to see her as a mother figure hadn't been successful, apparently Sheffield was too attractive to try to make Yuri see her in any casual way. She was right about the "scoring" part though, Sheffield didn't want to complicate their master and student relationship and jeopardize all the work she had made so far. Her mixed signals to the poor girl was still too much for the Onmyoton prodigy to handle in a neutral way, this girl's mind was too vivid with imagination... and that could be dangerous for herself. Sheffield herself had studied Yuri and had been around her long enough to know the best way to deceive and trap the girl in a Genjutsu if necessary: she tried not to think of the damage someone else could do if they exploited Yuri's weakness.

Now she had been kneeling down beside her student's sleeping bag and had shook her lightly a couple times, Yuri turned to look at her with a somewhat guilty but honest face; a face that showed she had been awake for a bit at least. Sheffield wasn't really surprised nor offended, she just laughed casually I see, then I guess you know how much further you have to develop physically to compete with me. It was a playful competitive tone she had used when joking with the girl; she didn't mind being watched, not at all, Yuri would eventually get used to seeing her and probably get bored and become unattracted to her sensei.

It was still early morning and Sheffield wasn't hungry, she didn't normally eat breakfast before missions: Yuri was too excited and eager to do the mission to think about food. Alright, let's be on our way then... but we're going out to celebrate after the mission is successful. Of course she would treat her student to something nice after their first mission together; it was their first real bonding experience.

Yuri had been praying for success apparently, she really wanted the mission to be successful: silly girl, praying did nothing, it was your own hard work that accomplished things. Yuri did something then that Sheffield hadn't quite anticipated, she had focused and summoned a sentient being... she had progressed in her skills since their first meal together, her servant was fully under her control... even if it was a weird servant... quite the unusual... tastes. Um.. that's quite the interesting servant you have there; I'm sure it will be a big distraction once we're aboard the ship.

Now let's get going Yu-chan, the earlier we strive, the better chance of success! Early bird gets the worm, right? Sheffield exited the old building's door and allowed Yuri to follow her through, she shut the door with a smile and took several steps back as the wall suddenly collapsed and Nero pushed his way outside the small building. He stretched his cramped muscles and let out a cute but fierce puppy-like yawn, he knelt on his knees and allowed Sheffield to crawl on his back. She rested her head against his thick soft purple fur and offered Yuri a hand to help her up onto his back. Nero will take us around the backside of the ship while he will circle back around to the front to grab the pirates' attention. Oh, and hold onto my waist or else you'll fall off.

She would help Yuri atop Nero's broad back and position her behind Sheffield, they would be riding fast but it wouldn't be an unpleasant ride. Nero was a lithe creature even though he was massive and powerful. He would dash across the pier section of Shippuugakure while no one was still up and awake, he purposefully stayed behind the first row of buildings as he rounded behind the ship and then lowered on all four knees to let them down. Sheffield would stand up and climb down his front leg and then help Yuri down. Alright Yu-chan, as soon as Nero circles back around, we can start out attack; we'll be climbing the back of the ship as he circles around. You can summon your archer and have your horseman ride with Nero if you like... I bet that would make a very interesting sight to behold. Sheffield began to charge her own Inton chakra.

Yuri could her the doubt, her sensei had in horseman servant and well there was a good reason for Tai-chan to be slightly worried, if she was. This would be the first time, Yuri would have ever use her horseman servant in the heat of battle in addition to that it would also be the first time she use her archer too in a situation like this. Yuri of course didn't told Taizu did. "This guy is more than a distraction Tai-chan, he is one of my heavy hitters. I will admit that I'm lost about the reason he prefers to dance all the time, it was my second attempt at making an stronger sentient being, with each attempted my skill is improving and soon I will be able to create the sentient being  I saw in a dream when me and you stay at the wonderful hotel. I just need to improve my genjustu skill. " There was a bit of defensive tone, in her voice, she trained hard after Taizu last meeting. "Anyway I will let my mushroom hammer do the talking for me." Yuri tilted her head to the Horseman who now doing the moonwalk, the sentient is quite skill in all matters and form of dance. Too bad, Yuri can't use this creature to pick up chicks.

"Of course we got to celebrated after the mission. And I following right behind you Tai-chan!" Yuri would quickly replied as she follow her sensei out of the building and some how, through sheer willpower, Yuri didn't even once look down at Taizu's sexy rear. Taizu would be proud of the progress Yuri was making with see her more as friend and not as single attractive female. Yuri also took several steps back as Nero burst through the wall in all his glory, Yuri held in a giggled as Nero yawned, a perfect mixture of cuteness and fierceness.

Yuri hold onto Taizu's waist tightly as they rode Nero and strangely enough Yuri didn't have any pervert thoughs or even try to cope a feel during the ride. Her Mind was too focus on the mission D-Day to think of such pleasurable thoughts. The ride was surprisingly pleasant for Yuri as she got off of Nero with the help of Taizu. As Yuri got off her Horseman servant was  running right behind them, easily keeping pace with Nero. "Yes Tai-chan!" With her Inton element already charge, Yuri was able to instantly summon her female archer. After a few seconds, a five foot and two inch tall female was standing on left side of Yuri, with the Horseman dancing on Yuri's right. The attractive female archer has long blonde hair and orange eyes, despite being made by Yuri, she really didn't have revealing clothing on her, the archer would look at Nero and then at Taizu before she focus back on her creator, Yuri Onmyoton. Taizu might be surprised with what the archer did next. "You have summon me Mistress!. How can I aid you today? Will it be like last night training in which we...." Yuri coughed loudly and blushed, sending an mental order to the archer to not discussing their "training". This summon unlike others seem to show emotion and even interact with Yuri like a everyday human would. Yuri would smiled at the archer. "Yua I need you to climb aboard this beast and provide covering fire for me and my Sensei, Taizu Onmyoton. Taizu this is Yua, the archer I mention" Yua would merely examine Taizu's body and grinned (similar to Yuri), Yua did seem to inherit some of Yuri's perverseness but only to a small extent. "Taizu is Hot, Mistress and I will obey you." Yua would gave Nero a friendly smile as she  leap into the air and mounted Nero. "Go"Yua would attempted to order Nero as she waited for beast to move. Yuri need sent an mental order to the horseman to climbed aboard Nero as well. "Your right this is one interesting site."

Once Nero started to circle back around, Yuri would start to scale the ship, Yuri have already climb Lamina peak, in middle of snowstorm to meet her ancestor, so climbing the ship wouldn't be to difficult for Yuri.

---

Meanwhile, as The Onmyoton Duo would start their assault, The Pirate codename, Deadeye was stand in the ship's crow nest, making his daily morning patrol. He had to parrot standing on each of his shoulders, as he whistle to them, soon the two parrots would fly off his shoulders and fly high into the air as the circle the air, looking for any threats or stowaways that might be near the ship. After that Deadeye would dig in his pocket and pull out a cigar and lit up, taking a puff and narrowed his unpatched eye. "Nothing spotted yet" He would said quietly in a low whisper as he continued to smoke. As Deadeye smoke, there were about three unnamed pirates on the deck of the ship. The all fit the general pirate stereotype; young breaded men, with missing teeth and hairy arms, all three of them have a sword by their side. Two of pirates were  hanging around the mast of the ship talking about the late, captive females. The other priate was scrubbing the desk, with a dirty rag and bucket of water.

Spoiler:

Sheffield grinned at Yuri as she blushed from the very misleading question... so Yuri had let her phantasmal fantasies... train with her. Okay. Sheffield nodded and winked at Yua, at least her fantasies had good tastes. Nero purred as Yua mounted him and then growled hesitantly as Yuri's horse-man jumped on his back as well... he wasn't too sure about this weirdo in the boxers... but Yua seemed nice enough. Yuri commanded him to be off and Nero's eyes looked at Sheffield, she nodded silently and he was bounding off to circle back around the front of the ship.

Sheffield scaled up the back of the ship right beneath Yuri, Leave the Second in Command to me, fight however you like, but don't take any risks. With that being said, Sheffield looked up and saw Deadeye up in the lookout perch- that was the spot she needed to be so she could effectively use her Genjutsu. She pulled out a kunai and motioned to one of the birds to Yuri Take out the left bird and I'll take out the right one. Then I'll scale the lookout perch and use my Genjutsu, when I reach the top, plug your ears for ten seconds.

In unison, she would take out the sentry parrots with Yuri and then Sheffield would scale the lookout perch below Deadeye. Once she was atop the perch, she would break Deadeye's neck with her hands and lower his body to the floor. She looked out at the front of the ship and saw Nero barreling towards the docks right in front of the ship, he roared viciously and alerted several of the pirates. Four pirates saw the beast coming and looked up to the perch to see what their lookout Deadeye was doing: Sheffield stared back down at them right into their eyes. She called out and began to sing a short verse from Sheffield's requiems to the next three pirates who came running up from below deck and they were caught in her Genjutsu as well.

All seven of the pirates were engulfed in ashen black coffins with large black pins, these pins slowly inserted into the width of the coffins and agonizing screams could be heard as their blood began to seep out of the bottom of the coffin and run across the deck of the ship. Now that her Genjutsu was done, she leapt from the lookout perch right in between the coffins just as the Second-in-command appeared from below deck. Sheffield stepped out from behind one of the coffins and the woman inadvertently looked her in the eyes; that was her biggest mistake.

Lightning blades appeared on her hands, she took thre steps forwards and then reversed as another pirate came running from above deck; it was the captain. Her lightning blades decapitated him and then the woman walked over to Sheffield obediently and stood by defensively to protect her. Don't worry Cap'n I'll protect you from these assassins! Sheffield had tricked the woman's mind to see her as the captain & Yuri as Deadeye, everyone else on board were assassins waiting to die by her hands.

One, two, three, nine.... Sheffield had either eliminated or renders useless, nine of the pirates, including the captain and the Second-in-command in mere seconds. Sure she had overdone it a little, but she couldn't allow any mishaps on this mission: if possible, she wanted to leave the last three to Yuri. She was confident her student could handle the three remaining pirates. From the looks of them as they came on deck, they were two Chuunin and a SPC Jounin. She ordered the Second-in-command to wait, Deadeye had these three "assassins" taken care of- the women nodded and waited defensively near Sheffield. Sheffield just winked at Yuri and nodded her towards the three remaining pirates.

Meanwhile, while Sheffield had the gorgeous woman under her Genjutsu, she entered her mind and gathered what information she could, if anything useful. Nothing really, just some sad childhood history and nothing useful for the mission. Apparently she had joined this crew only a couple years ago and had impressed the lot of them with her strong spirit and lightning affinity. Sheffield had used a simple but potent Genjutsu on the women while trapped within another Genjutsu- this one released her hold on reality and what she had known, Sheffield influenced her mind to what Sheffield wanted. No longer was she a threat, more or less a passive women who wasn't inclined to fight but more inclined to be attracted to younger women, specifically Yuri in this case. She had become all hot and bothered for no real reason that she could understand. She continued to watch the young Onmyoton girl slaughter her comrades without a care or concern for her own safety; Sheffield had made the perfect toy for her student, whether Yuri realized what had happened or not.

While Yuri disposed of the last three pirates, Sheffield commanded the woman to go below deck and into the captains quarters; she followed and instructed the woman to sit on the bed. Sheffield sat in a lavish chair nearby and shut the door, waiting for her student to come find them. The captains quarters were a bit larger than the rest and colorfully decorated and held several pretty things in it, a perfect setting for something intimate or less than intimate.

When Yuri would find them, Sheffield would shut the door behind Yuri and motion with her hands to the docile Second-in-command sitting on the large and comfy bed, squirming with some excitement and anticipation as she looked only at Yuri. I told you that you could have her, Yu-chan~ But only for a little while. She left it at that, both of them knew the girl had to die. Sheffield retook her position in the chair not too far away.

Nero was outside devouring corpses, licking up blood off the deck of the ship and otherwise disposing of any visible signs of battle. this ship would sell for a pretty penny to any of the highest bidders on the black market, the two Onmyoton girls had taken it with basically no damage.

"Okay, Tai-chan I leave the second in command to you. Don't worry I tend to stick on the safe side anyway." Yuri look down at her senesi as she gesture to the two birds flying overhead. Yuri simply nodded and sent an mental order to Yua, to shoot the bird down when she had the small flying creature in view. As Taizu toss her Kunai at the two sentry parrots she would notice that before her Kunai hit, a single arrow pierce though both of the parrots as they fell into the ocean, where they were quickly devour by a giant white shark, the circle of life is always present.

Once Nero has landed on the ship, Yuri's own horseman would hop off of Nero and pointed his hammer to the confused and frantic pirates. As Tai-chan was doing her thing, the horseman would begin to do the carlton dance.

The Carlton Dance or in this case The Horseman Dance:

As the Horesman was doing the strange dance, Yua would just look at the dance briefly before she ready another arrow and shoot them at any pirates that came towards Nero, she quickly grew fond to the beast.  Once Yuri reached the top of the ship, she plug her eyes she watch in awe as her sensei unleashed a jutsu that was on a whole another level. Yuri couldn't hear what Taizu was doing but Yuri watched as all seven of the pirates that were on the surface of the ship became engulfed in ashen black coffins with large black pins, these pins slowly inserted into the width of the coffins and agonizing screams could be heard as their blood began to seep out of the bottom of the coffin and run across the deck of the ship.  Well Yuri would have heard it, if she didn't have her fingers inside her ears blocking her hearing. Once Yuri was sure that it was safe, she unplugged her eyes, as she watch Tai-chan and the Second in Command went to the lower parts of the ship. Yuri noticed the wink her sensei give her,  but Yuri didn't have much time to think about it, as she noticed the three pirates that somehow have survive the slaughter of Taizu Onmyoton.  It was the two pirates codename "Two peas in a pod" and some other less important pirates but he did seem to slightly stronger the two brothers.

As the Spc Jonin Pirate was about to charge at Yuri, he sudden stop as he low down at his gut and saw an arrow price right through it and two more arrows landed on the back of the head, of the Spc Jonin  pirate. The pirate just dead to deck, as he blood mix with those of his fallen comrades.  He didn't even had a fighting chance. "Don't touch my mistress!" Yua would shout as she caught the attention of the Two chunnin level pirates, they drew their swords and stand back to back, as one them kept an eye on Yuri and the other on Yua, it seem like they were preparing for an attack  but sadly for them, they didn't notice the horseman  who would sprint towards them and tackle the shorter of the two men to the ground, as the horseman started to punch him in the face,  The Taller man attempt to help his brother but he was blind as one of Yua 's arrows landed into his right eye. His sreacm bloody murder as Yuri countined to pelt him with arrows, so much so that her start to retreat backwards, forgetting that he was dangerously close to the edge. Yua stop her assault for a second as she look towards her Mistress, she was fine and with the Yua pull back the string all way on her bow as  she unleashed an powerful shot the cause the chunnin to push into the ocean where he scream as he fell into the waters, his bloody body even attracted more shraks, as they towards the poor pirate limb to limb.

Meanwhile, The Horseman was beating the last male pirate, into a bloody pump and then the Horseman got up and pick up his mushroom shape hammer and brought it over down on the head of the doomed priate, the head of pirate burst like a water ballon, covering the horseman in blood which had no effect on the Horseman as he begin to do the worm as his victory dance. Even Yuri had to stratch her head as this summoning. "How Odd"

The Worm or in this case The mushroom worm!:

Yua would watch Nero get rid of the remains and blood off the ship. Yua smiled as she petted Nero as he ate. Yua even gather up some of the bodies parts of the pirates and brought them towards Nero and attempt to feed him like a puppy. Yuri would look at the aftermath of the short but bloody battle. She needed to find Tai-chan and tell her of her success. Yuri ordered both her servants to stay topside with Nero, which both them did. It seem that blood shed didn't had much of an effect on Yuri and could you blame her, she came from a clan with a bloody history.

As Yuri search the ship for her sensei she came up towards the captain room and open the door and nearly froze on the spot, as stare into the eyes of the Second in command. Yuri wasn't aware of the genjutsu placed on the woman until she turn around and watch Tai-chan close the door behind her and the gesture to the second in command sitting on the bed. Yuri was still speechless as she just look at the waiting women in front of her, despite the dark-skinned woman excited look Yuri knew better. So the female's final purpose was to serve Yuri's perverted desires. Yuri has never felt more ashamed in her life. "So I guess my Sensei place you in genjutsu and somehow made you attract to me. I know I said I wanted you but not like this. You have become nothing more than a shell of your former self." Yuri would mentally frown but in reality she just look at Taizu with a false expression of enticement and climbed into the Lap of the older woman. "If Tai-chan can do this to you, what stoppig her from doing this to me, has she already started?" Yuri would stare deeply into her the older woman eyes as she planted a passionate kiss on the woman lips, Yuri would gently push the older woman down onto the bed, where the kiss got more intense between them. But if anyone was expecting anything more to happen they would be in a shock. As Yuri broke the kiss, with a bit of saliva connecting the two women lips, Yuri would plant kisses down the female neck, as she gasped in pleasure, but at the same time, Yuri would draw a kunai from her skirt pocket . "Close your eyes love. " Yuri would said in sweet and caring tone, when the woman obey her, Yuri just brought the Kunai above the heart of the woman and her other hand over the eyes of the woman. Yuri then thrust the kunai through the heart of the women. Yuri just shook her head, as she ignored any painful sounds coming from the woman. Yuri would check her pulse and it no longer beat. "Sorry Love. She dead Onmyoton Sensei." Yuri would said in emotionless tone, as she got off the bed and left the room, not even waiting for a response from Taizu. Yuri would returned topside, as she just stand in the center of the ship. Yuri just shook her head and clenched her fist. "She might been pirate but still.."

Everything had gone smoothly topside the ship, it seemed that even Nero had found a new best friend in Yuri's archer Yua: even though they were sentient constructs of the mind, it appeared that their personifications were able to grow fond of objects or people themselves. Sheffield could tell that Nero was partial to Yuri and Yura.... though not Yuri's horseman, an interesting fact. Even now, Yua was feeding Nero body parts of the remaining pirate corpses and was unphased by the monstrous act: Nero was enjoying himself immensely to have a beautiful and skilled warrior hand feed him... and the horseman was probably just dancing away mindlessly nearby.

Sheffield turned her attention to inside the captains quarters, she watched her student sit in the woman's lap and start kissing her. The disappointment was palpable, Yuri's eyes gave away a lot even though her face remained very much neutral. Sheffield had intentionally stripped the woman of her will to test Yuri's reaction, whether she would willfully give into her carnal desires or push through and kill without hesitation and show no emotion. Her student chose the latter and past Sheffield's little heartless test, it was a cruel world and Sheffield intended to steel the girl's heart to tough choices, no matter how unpleasant or painful. Soon enough, Yuri would have to make a much more difficult and painful decision.

Sheffield's cold eyes examined every movement and expression her student made while in the room, and even listened intently when Yuri left the room without words of approval or anything. She listened to her footsteps until she could hear them no longer. Even though she dutifully followed through, it had still pained her greatly and she regretted it- regret wasn't so bad, but Yuri needed to learn to hide her emotions better. She would be expected to keep face in such difficult situations, in the future... she wouldn't be able to escape from such pains, they would follow her around in her heart. The most simple reason for this because she was an Onmyoton at heart, in blood and in mind; soon the Onmyoton would become a legend told by grandfathers to their grandchildren. Anyone who faced one in combat would second guess their opponents and underestimate them because of the unknown factors.

Sheffield wanted Yuri to see that she had to be heartless, even when showing compassion. Sheffield stood up from her seated position and looked down at the corpse of the woman laying on the bed with a look of peace on her face. She recalled some of the woman's darkest memories she had gleamed from her while under the Genjutsu... unbeknown to Yuri, the girl had relieved the woman from some deep-seated regrets and fears. She slung the body over her shoulder and carried it back up top deck; she gave Nero a mental command and he obeyed. He obeyed, Yua had just fed him the last scraps and he stood nearby as Sheffield emerged from below deck.

She offered him the corpse, which he ate without refusal; he understood that somehow Yuri was upset and the best way to relieve her of that pain was to make the body disappear. He gobbled it down whole and burped, he disappeared soon afterwards, vaporizing into black smoke as Sheffield released the physical hold on his body. She walked over to the side of the ship and retrieved the first kunai she had thrown, then she walked to the center of the ship and stood behind Yuri a few feet. Don't get so worked up Yu-chan, our mission was to assassinate all of them. They were all supposed to die anyways, you know our clan Elder's accept nothing less of total domination, success and secrecy. There was no way we could let her live, we would have been branded traitors and killed for deviating from such an order. Besides, one day, I expect the Elders will order you to kill me; the question is, could you do it?

She was upset and mentally distraught right now, but Sheffield had posed a powerful question to the girl. She wanted to see how well she had influenced the girl's mind, to see if she was willing to admit if she could or couldn't kill someone who had become part of her life. If she would obey every dictated order from the Elders or defy them, even in the smallest of ways.

She would leave the question for Yuri to think over, she walked past the girl and brushed her shoulder lightly as she did to snap her back to reality. She called out casually over her shoulder in a cheerful manner, I'm headed to get that breakfast victory Yu-chan, you're welcome to join me or stay and mope if you like. But the victory meal won't be the same without my trusted student to enjoy it with me.... I'm thinking pancakes. Pancakes sounded good, a whole lot of them even... she had been skipping meals lately to keep an eye on Yuri and the others in the clan. Her vigilance never ceased and now she was afforded the opportunity to enjoy a good meal without much concern. Whether Yuri joined her or not, she was going to have a good meal with no regrets. It was too late for Sheffield, regret was something that rarely ever bothered her, she had fully intended to kill the woman anyways, whether or not Yuri did it or wanted it. The easiest way would have been to influence the woman to commit suicide, she could while she was still under her Genjutsu at least.

It was too early for Sheffield to be discovered or be suspicious of, to the clan's knowledge, she was training the young Onmyoton prodigy well in the ways of heartless cold killing... she was indeed, but in her own way so that she would grow to resent the clan's lifestyle and Elders. There were only two flaws in her plan. The first being her own fault, in case someone discovered and identified the body of the real Taizu Onmyoton. The second, being if Yuri came to the realization too soon and somehow acted out defiantly against the clan. Both of which, Sheffield would be immediately removed from her student and likely have Yuri killed. It was such an unpleasant thought that Sheffield purposefully pushed it away for now, at least until after she enjoyed this yummy victory breakfast.
