Sasori's POV

If Deidara wasn't bad enough before, he certainly has gotten worse. He and Ino were in the kitchen, laughing and making all sorts of noise. "Donna!!" Deidara yelled. I ignored him, instead focusing on my newest puppet. "Donna!!" Deidara yelled again. My patience was slipping. I thought having Ino around would surely shut him up. "DONNA!!!" Deidara screamed.

Regular Pov.

The demon roared in frustration,tearing through the shinobi posted at the gate. "Damn it! It's so fast we can't catch it." Kiba complained. Kurenai mentally cussed to herself. Kiba was right though. Even Gai couldn't hold this beast down. A streak of rust red fur caught her eye. She smiled. 'Naruto.' she thought triumphantly. Kurenai grabbed the hood of Kiba's jacket and stopped. "This is in Naruto's hands now. We'll return to the village and fight off the invaders." she declared. And team 8 flew back. Kyuubi continued the chase. 'Remember Kyuubi. She's like me so don't hurt her.' Naruto advised. Kyuubi growled his response,keeping up with the wolf before him. And then suddenly it was gone. Kyuubi stopped and sniffed the air. No scent. Disappointed he returned to the village.

Sasori's POV

I heard the wolf before I knew what was happening. I turned down the alley way. Kyoto may be a tourist attraction but it's alley contradicted any worth. I looked around the alley. 'Just a regular old alley.' I reminded myself. A low growl caught my attention. Bewildered, I knelt on the ground . Amongst all the trash was a girl. Blood ran from a wound somewhere on her forehead and she was covered in bruises. She blinked at me as I held out my hand to move hair off her face. Yep a cut on her forehead. "Tell me your name." I ordered. The girl stared at me blankly. Slowly her mouth moved but no sound came out. "Mute." I mumbled. 'If only Deidara was mute.' The girl tugged on my arm and pointed to the dirt. With her finger she had written four letters in the dirt. "Maro." I said. She nodded. " Well Maro. You can't stay here. What to do?" I rambled standing. Shrugging I left her in the alley. She didn't follow. 'Girl does have a brain.' I remarked.

Maro's POV

I stared after the stranger. Even when he was long gone. He looked sad. I stood weakly,allowing my ears and tail to appear. My body morphed into a wolf's and I followed the stranger. He hadn't gotten very far. I watched him from faraway. He didn't seem to care about anything.

Sasori's POV

"There you are." I heard. I turned. 'Nine tails. And his Sensi.' I realized. The girl, Sakura was holding a black wolf. That was slowly morphing into Maro. I turned to go while they hadn't seen me when I heard a hiss. Cats were practically everywhere,hissing. Maro's body was surrounded by a dark purple chakra. What emerged was a giant ten tailed wolf. I stared in surprise. "Maro." I whispered as the wolf flew over my head. The Leaf shinobi were busy,giving me enough time to run after the large wolf unseen.

Maro's POV

I finally regained my human form beside the river. 'It's no use. They always find me.' "I know what you are." I spun around. The stranger! I smiled. "Maro. Come with me." he ordered.

Sasori's Pov

"WHY DID YOU BRING HER HERE?!" Pein yelled. I unplugged my ears. "Are you done?" I asked him. Pein sat back. "For now." he replied. I turned to Maro. She was asleep in a chair. Not much help there. "I think she's a Jinchuuriki." I said. Pein sighed. "Where to begin? Okay. First off,all Jinchuuriki went into hiding or are strongly protected. Why would she be here?" he asked. I shrugged. "All I know is she was in Kyoto. The Leaf Shinobi were there as well. They want her for some reason. But when they grabbed her she turned into a large wolf." I explained. "Ohh. A large wolf. Scary." Pein said. I balled my hands into fists. "If you don't believe me then test her." I challenged. Pein stood. "Maybe I will. Hidan!" he yelled. Hidan looked up. "What?" Pein pointed at Maro. "Attack." Hidan leapt up and lunged at her. "At least wait until she's awake." Konan ordered. Maro's eyes flashed open. She caught Hidan's blade easily and kicked him back. The purple chakra surrounded her again and again emerged the giant wolf with ten tails. "See?" I gloated looking at Pein. He grinned. "A Jinchuuriki." he marveled. Maro reverted back timidly, cautious of Hidan. I couldn't help but want to laugh. Again Pein underestimated me. And again I proved him wrong. Pein approached Maro. " What's your name?" he asked. I sighed. "She doesn't talk." Maro shook her head. "I..... I talk little." she said. Pein turned to Ino and Konan. "She's all yours ladies. Teach her how to speak. And when you're done she's going out on the field."
