The Lazarus Ninja

Keiji grinned " BBQ " he replied creating a shadow clone. The clone took isamu in it's arms while Keiji swiftly took ushio in his arms . " been awhile since I carried you anywhere " Keiji said continuing the long walk home. " since your going to BBQ I will whip up the dessert, any requests ?"

Isamu tugged at the clone's sleeve and pointed to a cloud. 'Papa! Look, A MUFFIN!!!'

Ushio giggled and kissed him on the cheek, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Nothing tastes nor looks as good as the candy I have right here. But if you really are gonna make dessert, bake us an oreo cheesecake to share. Anyway....um... Keiji-kun...um...is...is it weird for a person to fantasize frequently?" She blushed crimson red and stared at his chest. "I've been having some...queer ones."

The clone looked up "good eye izzy chan, daddy can see a two angel fish"
Keiji looked at ushio " how do you mean ushio-hime " he was confused "are you feeling alright, you look alittle flushed"

'Why are they called angel fish? They don't look like angels,' the baby thought. "Baby! Baby! ....peanut?"

Ushio blinked and giggled, Keiji was kinda cute when he was clueless. "Nevermind, honey. Just keep walking." She smiled and kissed his cheek. Her previous assumptions that he was a pervert seemed to be wrong. She snuggled into his arms and fell asleep, a stupid grin on her face. 'I love you.'

Isamu looked up at the clone. 'Papa will never ever leave....right?' She grinned and kissed him on the cheek wetly. "Izzy and mama luv papa vewy vewy mush!"

Keiji looked over to his daughter "Of course I wont Izzy-chan". Once they arrived home keiji and the clone took the girls into the living room, the clone handed off the babe to its master and dispelled itself. " well Ushio I guess you better get cracking on that bbq " he said with a small smile "Izzy and I will work on the dessert, sound good Izzy Chan" the Iwa Jonin said to the little girl

"Cake!" Isamu cheered, hanging onto her Papa's limb. "Izzy make cake!"

'Kyaaaah she's sooo cute!!' Ushio smiled and nodded. "Alright then, I'll be at the backyard with the grill. Make sure you put in cream cheese and not cheddar, okay honey? Work hard, my smexy man." She pulled them to her and kissed Keiji softly on the lips, before Isamu on the forehead.

Ushio was grilling steak and spreading BBQ sauce, whistling, wearing an apron with the words 'Bite me'.

Keiji snorted at Ushios reminder, it sounded like something she would do. He looked down at isamu " to the kitchen then " he said creating a clone to gather everything whilst he watched out for his daughter. Once everything was laid out infront of them Keiji had the clone henge into kaji Nara. " go spend sometime with our wife " Keiji ordered the clone, it nodded and exited the kitchen leaving the father and daughter to the task of baking a cheese cake.

Kaji stepped out of the house and silently stalked up behind Ushio " have I ever told you how good you look in an aphron " it whispered wrapping its arms around her lilithe waist

"No." She laughed softly, it felt like the old days when they would always be with each other. She kissed his cheek and started to cry a little. Ushio smiled, but just continued to grill the meat. It felt nice having him there, hugging her so close. Without even saying anything he made her happy. So she continued to BBQ in silence.

"Mama happy," Isamu exclaimed excitedly. She tugged on Keiji. "Mama is kwying. Papa makes mama happy."

Keiji Chuckled, he smiled down at the little girl "perfect my plan worked" he said turning on the mixer.
Once he was done he handed the beaters to Isamu " Izzy Gets to lick them clean if she wants" he said giving her cheek a little peck.

Kaji Looked at her and wiped away the stray tears " hey hey Ushio-hime no need to cry " he held onto her " If you want I can take over here and you could join Isamu and Keiji in the kitchen"

Isamu cheered. "Wheee! Cake!" She used her little hand to grab a fistful of batter and started licking. Needless to say, she got very messy, but very happy.

"Okay. And you know, you don't have to henge into Kaji. Whomever you turn into doesn't matter because I will always love my nushi." She rubbed her face furiously and entered the kitchen. Ushio sneaked up behind Keiji and hugged him, snuggling him contentedly.

The henged shadow clone shrugged as she walked off towards the kitchen, it continued that which Ushio had started.
Keiji was smiling very amused by his daughters antics. When Ushio came up and huged him he spun around and kissed her square o the lips. "I see both my girls are very happy this evening" He chuckled picking up the batter covered Isamu, he had let her lick the bowl as well. the cake was in the oven now all they had to do was wait, though he guessed that their supper would be done fairly soon.

She kissed him back and purred as she just hugged him, head tucked in the hollow of his neck. She rubbed his back absentmindedly, her fingers trailing his spine. Isamu giggled, when she was licking, she had pulled the bowl on top of her head and couldn't see anything. It was funny for her, and adorable for Ushio.

The henged clone entered moments after, it set the table and got isamu cleaned up.
While this was going on Keiji had pulled Ushio into the hall closet for some 'fun' .
The clone looked at isamu " stay out of you mama's head for awhile izzy-chan" it said strapping her into the highchair.

"Otay!" the baby said innocently. "Papa....mama so happy...why mama so happy?" she asked, looking confused. Ushio's thoughts were very loud right then. "Why is Papa hitting mama?! Kyaaaa! UWAAAA PAPA, DON'T HIT MAMAAAA!!!"

"Keiji...err... I can hear her screaming," Ushio mumbled. "Maybe we should continue later, after she's asleep."

Kaji sighed and attempted to calm Isamu.

Meanwhile back in the closet Keiji also sighed, it seemed he would not be getting any tonight. "Fine..." he sighed giving her slightly red bottom a gentle rub. " I hope she doesnt get nightmares"

Kaji was pacing the kitchen, with a slightly less scared Isamu "Its alright Izzy-chan Papa was just making your Mama happy, you said so yourself" it tried to explain.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you have an extra special treat tonight," she whispered in his ear, accompanying it with a gentle lick and grope. Ushio pulled her skirt back on and discarded her torn undies. "I think the cake is almost done."

She got out of the closet with her lover and took Isamu into her arms. The baby stopped panicking. But then it reached out and squeezed her mama's chest. "Does papa drink milk too??"

Kaji snickered at that comment. "well...er...ah" keijis face was flushed he didnt think he would ever face questions like this. The Akimichi looked at Ushio, his face was pleading for some help.

"Papa drinks mama's milk like Izzy-chan so that he can grow tall and strong and stay like that. So it's good that papa drinks mama's milk," Ushio explained.

"Oooh....otay! Papa wannu dwink miwk wif Izzy?" the baby said, tugging at her mother's shirt.

The Kaji clone snickered again before dispelling itself. Upon hearing the question Isamu posed to him Keiji promptly fainted. whilest on the floor he was muttering nonsense.

Ushio giggled, Keiji was sooo cute. She leaned down and pecked him on the lips, with Isamu poking his face. Then she put the baby in the highchair, propped her lover onto the couch and served dinner.

"Heehee...you know Izzy-chan, your daddy is pretty cute when he gets embarrassed...especially when he blushes..." She was going kya kya kya.

"Ngh..." Keiji groaned as he regained his senses. His violet eyes focused in on the person across from him " wha...what... Cake" he muttered. Keiji was still a tad out of it "smells good"

"Keiji-kun? You okay now?" Ushio and Isamu settled on his lap. The former held a forkful of cheesecake to his lips while the latter chewed on a spoon. "You were out for quite a while. Do you still want some BBQ, honey?"

" oh ah I guess I'll have that for lunch tomorrow " he replied accepting the cake held to his mouth. " what time is it anyway " he asked taking notice of the lack of sunlight coming from windows.
He felt this odd sensation come over him, it was as if he was missing a part of himself. 'samael is gone we merged what could it be, whats missing' he thought silently.

Ushio snuggled into him and Izzy started to snore, deep asleep. Lilith had been sleeping for a long time... She had lost the man of her life, and thus the will to live. The lack of demon energy also made Ushio less hyper, less... Toshith. "Ngh... Hey Keiji, I'm gonna go tuck Isamu into bed. Goodnight." She kissed him softly, then went upstairs.

Keiji nodded and watched them leave. Alone he sat in silence contemplating what it was he was feeling. After thirty or so minutes of this he felt it again, it was stronger then before. ' they are rising ' came a whisper

" who said that " Keiji said whipping his head in the direction of the faint voice. ' They will rise an inhabit the earth lest you stop them ' it whispered. " who are THEY and WHAT are YOU " the ninja yelled. The voice began to chuckle ' I am who I am, that is all you need to know about me' it said taking a seat in the high back chair by the window. ' now for the second part of you question, they are the dead and you are tasked to stop them' explained the voice.

" Why me ?" Keiji asked, he was confused and scared for his family. How had this being entered his home " and why can't I see you ?" he said. The voice chuckled again " because my boy I do not wish to be seen" it said in matter of factly. ' why you Kaji Nara because it is your destiny ' said the voice. ' you are a death god, reaper, shinigami it makes no difference how you say it you kaji must do this' it's tone was flat though one could detect the seriousness of the words. ' fear not young one I have arranged for certain heroes to aid you in your mission, you will meet a Shinto god in water country' it spoke. There was silence now and it was deafening " what the hell " Keiji whispered clutching his head. What did it all mean.
