13 The Sword Saint.

I waited till morning with my students and before they could even prepare themselves for it, I lift my fingers as per usual and Black Star who was carrying Tsubaki in her weapon form as if prepped for payback.

As I should, I looked them in the eyes and smacked them over their heads instead of leaving.

*Smack**smack* One was lighter than the other.

"Argh! What was they for you stupid teacher?! Don't you know that you can't hit I the great BLACK STAR!" *SMACK*

"ARGH!"

He really pisses me off. Tsubaki understood why I was upset with them. They got owned yesterday and now realizes that I plan to make a full report to Principal Death.

Now that Black Star was crouched holding his head in what I assumed to be great pain, Tsubaki rubbed her head a bit with a down face.

"Hah~ Why did I get this job, well it doesn't matter to much. I'll be taking you two back to make a report to the Principal and then as I said before I will be your Physical Education Coach or whatever. So let's get along."

Tsubaki look at Black Star who is still ranting a bit under his breath and back at me. She realizes that now is not the time for anything other than resting.

"Okay. Let's get along coach." She said with a small bow.

"Mmm, now the both of you two hold each other, I need to make this a quick trip."

""Huh?"" The both of them look at me stupidly, like why do they need to hold each other?

"Don't worry, I the great Black Star don't need any help to get back to the school! Haha!"

He jumped up and pointed his thumb to himself as if praising himself more than he is truly worth.

I just role my eyes and knock him out with a *Thunk* and he out, of course Tsubaki caught him and called out to him even attempting to wake him up.

In the time that Tsubaki was calling out to Black Star I approached from the side where she couldn't see me, placed me hand on her shoulder where she shuddered thinking I'd do the same to her. But long before she could holler out I use Instant Transmission to get us outside of Death City.

*Tchrssss...*

*Tchrssss…*

As I had seen yesterday the same sidewalk was filled with people and were bustling so much that they didn't notice the three of us just appear from nowhere and integrate into the crowd.

Tsubaki who was shocked at the sudden change in environment had dropped the unconscious Black Star onto the ground.

*Thud*

"ARGH! What the?! WHERE AM I?! Tsubaki! How did we get here?!"

Black Star woke up from his nap and immediately was shocked at the different location, he began to question Tsubaki on our way to the same small parking area as yesterday. He even began to attract more attention to himself.

After puling out the Humvee he shouted out and began to inspect it greatly, he checked the seats and all the controls in the front seat. He also began to check the storage area and trunk where he found my guns and swords stored away.

Finally he decided to climb onto and check out the Minigun as Tsubaki called to him to stop he continued to try and activate it… Completely unaware of me being directly behind the fool with my Sharingan activating out of pure rage toward this bastard.

"Black Star… I think that it is your nap time."

"Huh?" He didn't even seem to hear me.

And I promptly knock him out once more… I gotta take him to the nurse for a check up before we leave to defeat Al Capone and Mifune, don't want him having brain damage or memory loss.

I then toss Black Star into the back seat like a sack of potaoes and Tsubaki hops in the back to help him, even letting his head onto her lap. 'I ain't jealous or anything, what are you talking about?!'

We drove to the same area as I did yesterday and parked, Tsubaki finally got the brat Black Star up who then bolted from the vehicle and then sprinted up the staircase.

"Betchu I can reach the top first Teacher!" Black Star called out to me.

Tsubaki even became a bit upset at his actions and turned with a wry expression to where Daban stood.

"Ha~ Sorry Teacher, as you know this is how he is and you don't need to- Where did he?..."

She looked around her to find the Humvee missing and no Teacher in sight… She only heard this and looked up.

"You damn BRAT!! If I don't beat you in this race then I'll call you father!"

There she saw Daban racing up the stairs and quickly catching up with Black Star who wasn't far ahead now.

"Hahahahaha!!! You cannot beat this glowing star now you worthless Teacher!!!"

Tsubaki was star stricken at the sight before her… Even her new Teacher will be just as big of a handful at times!

""ARRRRRAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHAAAA!!!!!!"" Both of the two were yelling at the top of their lungs, the surrounding passerby's even took a few steps back to allow them passage afraid of what they'd do if stopped.

But then a single presence was felt by Daban mid-race.

He immediately transported himself over to its location.

*Tchrsss…*x2

And here he found himself at the entrance of the school, in front of him stood a tall black figure with an almost drawn on mask… The principal has shown himself again.

"Well you are most certainly early, how was the trip?"

"It was a rather rough trip if I must say Principal. First I had to find-" I slowly explained to him only for this to happen.

"AAARRAAGGGHH!!" And as expected I was interrupted by Black Star again.

*RRRRRRRRRRR* (Stopping sound effect)

"HAHAHAHA!!! Seems I the great Black Star has won once again! Now come and call me father!!"

I pour ice water on his parade by calling him out.

"Took you long enough you slow brat, I almost aged a century waiting for you!"

"Huh?! But how did you get here before me?!"

Ignoring him I explain all that occurred, even telling him how I had to knock the brat out but I left out how I moved from city to city so quickly.

"I see so the mission was a failure. Just as I had suspected as the result. Anyway, I receive a report that the Mafia had actually gotten their hands on the location of the witch Angela. You must go and wipe them out before they can defeat her and take her soul. It would be a very being problem if they got it. And if possible bring along the soul of witch Angela if possible."

"Yes Principal, I will be taking both Black Star and Tsubaki as support. I will be taking my leave as soon as I have Black Star checked for any damage."

"That would be best, now off you go."

I immediately grabbed Black Star by his collar and took him into the school while Tsubaki came running after us.

"Ah, Tsubaki. Why don't you go and take a quick bath, I have to take Black Star to the Infirmary to check for damage from the repeated knock outs."

I quickly waved her away and saw her go to her apartment to take a bath. She didn't want to use the community bath today.

After I marched down the hall for several minute I finally found the damn Infirmary through given directions from a student.

I opened it and entered… Most wouldn't notice the atmosphere. Why?

Because there was no atmosphere, it seemed as if it was just as ordinary as it could get. She was always a master of stealth even more so than Angela.

That thought of mine continued until I heard a small cough interrupt my thoughts from behind. When I turned I saw 'her' there and through repeated practice I kept my aura hidden and face straight as I spoke to this woman.

It was the nurse of the school.

She had brown hair that flowed to her shoulders and split on two equal sides, a white lab coat showing her status as the nurse her in this military like academy and even high heels. Her face carried a smile that one would expect from the one who will treat their wounds, yet underneath I can feel her soul that had a rather massive amount of magic that even suppressed me a bit.

Only I know she cannot feel my magic, Darcy once told me that nobody can feel the MP inside of me no matter what. But it was possible that she could tell I had a rather strong soul that matched that or was greater than Death the Kid.

"Ah, you must be the Nurse. My name is Daban Paradox, a new Physical Education Teacher at the school. I will be teaching my students battle tactics along side practical usage of their weapons and helping to strengthen their bodies. I hope we can cooperate in the future as we will be see each other often."

I spoke in a courteous manner, but I felt like I wanted to puke as I stood in front of this bitch. She was a witch that was hated by the rest of the witch community much like Arachne. Medusa, she is a very powerful Close-range witch and the only confirmed one in the entire series.

"Oh? So you are the new teacher! My how handsome you are, I love your design with red clouds! OH! Silly me, I had been hoping to speak with you as soon as I could, you weren't in the building yesterday, I hope you didn't wait long while I was out."

She spoke in a light yet somewhat thoughtful tone, if I had not known her identity before hand, I just might have fallen for her ploy.

"No, I just arrived with your patient. This is Black Star, he has been knocked out consistently by me in the past twenty-four hours and I hope you can check his current state."

"I see, I will check if there is anything wrong right away."

She then attends to Black Star, after half an hour she concludes that he is in good health but could still use some rest. I thank her and quickly leave into the crowd of students and faculty.

I went to fetch Tsubaki with a grumbling Black Star at my side and quickly arrived at her house. With a spare key on hand Black Star lets himself in and lies spread out on the couch in wait. We had both entered inside with complete silence due to the brat hating my guts at the moment and me using Shadow Steps that muffle all noise to an immense extent.

Not hearing any water sounds from the restroom I assume that Tsubaki is out of the bath and changing in her room across the apartment. I did't use echolocation cause then that would mean I was technically peeping on her changing… You know I could have sounds bounce off her and get a look at her figure.

I head in and wash my face at the sink, dry myself and look into the mirror with my Sharnigan active. 'I wonder how I can upgrade this damn thing… Do i inject great amounts of Chakra or something? I'll search my memories when I get Chakra.' As I was doing this I was un aware of my surroundings and didn't notice a Tsubaki approach with a fowl on her head and none on her torso.

I continue to stare into my eyes wondering what my Mangekyou Sharingan would look like. Would it be more similar to a character's or be one of their, perhaps my own! Cannot fucking wait.

I was so immersed in my own imagination I didn't realize that Tsubaki was up behind me drying her hair and figuring out where she was with pure memory.

She was still drying her hair as she reached toward the location of her hair dryer at the side of the sink, and only then did I notice her. But before I could move it was to late.

She opened her eyes and pushed her hand against my chest, feeling the tough muscles in the process.

She looked at my face in utter shock as i gazed onto her body and landed on her face, she was shaking with a blood red face now. She retracted her hand covered herself and let out a shriek "KYAAAAAAAAAAA!!" that resounded through the air into the city.

I back up and end up against the wall unknown what to do but leave and before I managed to Black Star came running in shouting out for Tsubaki and then he finally saw Tsubaki who was almost completely naked now. He let out a nose bleed and fell face first into the opposite wall… I had no clue on what to do.

------------------------------------ (3 hours later)

It took longer than expected, but I finally calmed down Tsubaki and woke Black Star. We were heavily scolded for coming in and entering the bathroom without letting her known to our presence.

I finally got Tsubaki to let us go after three whole hours, yet the energy wasted was more than I bargain for… It was a hassle I tell you, a hassle!

Anyway, with them prepped and everything I get us ready for Instant Transmission and take us off… Only I decided that it would be best to handle Al Capone and his gang.

I tried to find their signatures yet none popped up. It seems they decided to move quickly. Before it should have taken them at least two days to get to the witch Angela.

"Now hold onto each other or myself, we need to get to that Al Capone ASAP."

They nod their heads, though Black Star was still confused, and I lifted my fingers to my head and searched for Al Capone's signature.

After a five minute search I found his groups signature, and they were in the heat of battle.

I quickly get us to the battle…

------------------------------

On the battle field of Demon Castle Cinder we found all the Kishin Eggs of Al Capone and his men floating around us. It looked like a sea of red orbs.

While we gazed at the Kishin Eggs I notice something, something was different and way to samn different.

The area of battle, it was not the same.

In the Anime it was a place that was very dry, dusty and rocky. Dead trees littered the surrounding area, yet here.

There was a lake. It was blue and very inviting, yet the trees surrounding it were still very much dead and ash gray.

As I discovered this difference I wondered what could cause it, what?!

Finally, he showed himself and that was all that truly mattered.

He came from above and slashed toward me, a single blade appeared in front and attempted to cut me in half.

Yet it missed…

I was too fast for the blade and dodged as soon as I heard him.

The ground knocked up some dust and surrounded him in a cloud of it.

"This is the home of the Witch Angela, I will not allow you to harm her. Leave now and I'll spare your life."

The dust clear and out appeared a man with a brown coat over a white dress shirt, green pants with tears on the ends and slippers, he had almost silver yet blond hair and brown eyes giving him a look similar to royalty in disguise. At his side he carried a box filled with twenty katanas and wrapped in yellow keep out tape, the door he stood in front of had the same tape.

I had a deep grin on my face at his appearance, yet the cover of the Akatsuki uniform saved me once more as it it went unseen.

He was Mifune the one and only Sword Saint, a master swordsman and creator of the <Infinite: One-Sword Style> making him realized by many underground organizations and Death himself as <God of the Sword>. He also has a Strong Soul or a soul so powerful it's on par with ninety nine human souls. He also has a great love for children now and is learning to respect life.

"Well, well… If it isn't Mifune. Don't worry I ain't here for her." I then point around me and at the Kishin Eggs.

"Only them." I state in a low tone.

"I see, if that is all then take them away… I have no use for them. Even if Angel might, I can tell it would be best not to anger you. So go ahead."

He seems to notice my powerful soul and skills in combat. Now knowing that I do not want Angela he is handing over the Kishin Eggs and in return expects me to leave. But his eyes grow slightly sharper with the fact that I know who he is.

"But…" I say.

Mifune looks my way and prepares for battle.

"I as a teacher at the DWMA must test my students periodically, and I wish to let them have a fight with you. Is there any way this can happen?"

Mifune realizes where I come from and sighs out, he now finally know our origin and that I mean no harm and truly only came for the Al Capone Mafia Family. Though he does have a slight reservation.

"Fine, but if it's to much I might hurt him."

He looks at the giddy Black Star.

"Hahaha! Teacher! Can I really fight him?!"

Black Star's eyes are practically glowing at this point, he saw that Mifune had pushed me back even if only a little and has his blood pumping.

"Yes, but I do not want to return to the academy with a half dead student or corpse. So don't get to banged up and learn when to call it quits."

Even though I preach this he spins around and charges Mifune.

"Yeah Teacher, whatever you say!"

'Damn Brat.'

The only thing I can say is that the fight went fairly similar to what happened in the Anime on the second episode. But Mifune was acting more like a mentor and explained more fault to Black Star and the air lacked real blood lust but the tension was still there and everywhere.

I watched the entire battle with my Sharingan at full power, even if I didn't need it due to Eidetic Memory. The entire ordeal lasted roughly fifteen minutes cause Mifune was playing with Black Star and teaching him a bit.

It finally came to a close with Tsubaki using the <Shadow Star Mode> where she replicated the looks of Black Star and replaced him as he hid in the shadows, on the side Black Star came rushing in from behind and used his technique <Finishing Strike: Black Star Big Wave>.

This move had completely taken Mifune by surprise, an attack that takes on the soul was a move nobody can truly take on without preparation. It sent him flying into a nearby boulder where he lied on the ground in pain and spitting out blood.

Black Star was seriously upset with the way Mifune was fighting him, he had treated him like a kid and didn't attack with the intent to kill until the last bout. Seeing that he was onto Black Star gave a speech on his superiority and had Tsubaki take her Chain Scythe Mode once more.

As he approached he asked for the where a bouts of the witch Angela, seeing he wasn't getting a response he lifted Tsubaki…

And a child came rushing in from the sky on a broom… It was Angela, a Child Witch.

They went though what happened in the Anime, Black Star even had a new cut on his forehead due to the Katanna Angela picked up.

I gave a hearty laugh after Black Star had threw back the quote of Mifune.

"I can't kill a kid, i'd give me nightmares." all while rubbing his head.

The witch Angela finally noticed my presence and called me stinky and stupid as well, but I was used to it… All due to my brothers from before I died.

"HAHAHA!! Well said Brat, let's take these Kishin Eggs and head back to the Academy. The Principal will have my head if we just leave these behind."

I then take a green net from Black Star and wrap up all the Kishin Eggs. Then threw them into my inventory.

"But first…" I look at Mifune.

"Mifune, God of the Sword. I Daban Paradox of the DWMA extend my indentation to you to become a Teacher at the Academy. There you will act as an instructor along side myself and teach these brats how to survive in battle. I'd love to have in the team."

He had a look of disbelief on his face, and seemed joyful but that was only in his eyes and this was for a moment before returning to his cold outer look.

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." He said.

"Well… I don't care. The Academy needs a powerful swordsman such as yourself."

He fired back. "Yes, that may just be true, but what about Angela if I leave with you I must depart from her. I cannot allow that."

Yet I smile once again. "You don't have to do such unnecessary things."

He looked confused now, yet it dawned on him. He attempted to rise to his feet and prepare for a fight he wanted to defend Angela and give his life in her place.

"Sit down dumbass." I said in a lecturing tone.

He was confused but still lowered himself and sat down.

"I'm not gonna separate you from Angela, I plan to use a seal on her body that will hide away the Magic Power radiating from it. And due to her powers being weak that will be easy. I will also speak with the Principal Lord Death and see if it would be fine to bring her in. He is seeking to find peace with Witches anyway."

Mifune was shocked at what he heard. A meister didn't wish to kill Angela but take her in, and Lord Death wanted peace with the Witch kind. He couldn't believe it, he couldn't.

"How can I trust your words! What if you see-"

"What? Seek to kill her?" I gave him a look of ridicule and appeared behind him with the use of soru.

'WHAT?! HOW?!' He screamed in his head.

"If I wanted to kill her it would be to damn easy. The only reason I didn't do such a thing is because Angela Leon isn't evil. She is not in the Execution List and not under the Pull of Magic. Therefore is of no threat and can be used as the first step to peace."

I told Mifune several truths and a lie. Angela was on the Execution List, all witches are once discovered. Though I can easily convince the Principal due to her not being under the influence of the Pull of Magic just yet.

"I-" He looks at Angela, she looks back at him with eyes filled with hope. Seems she wanted peace sub-conciously as well.

"I agree. That is on the grounds that her safety is guaranteed." He smiles to Angela and looks at me with a serious look on his face.

"Then it is settled, I will go tell the Principal and convince him with what I can."

I return his smile, though he cannot see it he can tell I was from my crescent eyelids.

"Ah, yes. There is also another person whom, I would like to take with us." He suddenly remembers.

'Hmm?'

"And who might that be?" My face was filled with question marks and as was Black Star's and Tsubaki's.

"I never got her name, but she means well." He looks at the lake. "She created this lake surrounding the castle. Extra defense she said."

I look into the water at well 'Made the lake? Never heard of this witch.'

"Well alright, where is she anyway?"

"Inside the castle, she isn't an actual guard of Angela like me, she just live here. I'll go and get her. Besides you just might know her, consideing you two ware similar clothing."

'Similar clothing?' I look down, and now my interest was great. 'Who can it be?'

"Alright th-"

I was cut off like usual. But this time sweat dripped down my face and back as I heard her voice.

"I do not remember you being amongst us, were you invited to join as my replacement perhaps?" It was a calm and cool voice that sounded very beautiful to the ears.

Yet, I was shaking, as I continued to stare into the lake a great fear overtook me.

*Gulp*

I swallow my saliva heavily and look up at where the voice came from.

Blood left my face and I wondered how this was possible… 'Why is she here?!' I shouted into my head.

Though I admit she was my Anime Waifu, I didn't care at the moment because it didn't make any sense for her to be here… NO NOT AT THE CASTLE BUT IN THIS WORLD!!!

The only thing that can leave my drying lips is...

"…Konan."
