Tenten walked down the street. Lady Tsunade had put her on break to recuperate after the latest S-ranked mission. Both of the remaining members of Team 9 were now ANBU elites, and had both thrown themselves into their work to forget the pain. It hadn't worked, and so now Tenten was wandering the streets of a village that she barely knew anymore. Her outfit had not changed after the war, and so now, she stood in her pre-Black Ops clothing looking for a place to eat. Quietly, she ducked into a tea house. As she sat back in her seat with a hot cup, her ears began to pick up some interesting conversations.

"The Beast?"

"He's back?"

"I heard he's already started again."

"God, I hope not, I remember before when he went insane."

"He was sane before?"

"My daughter just turned twenty-one, should I leave Konoha now?"

Though she wasn't one for gossip, she couldn't help but notice that almost all of the women, no matter whom they were talking to, were talking about the same guy. The problem was that he seemed dangerous. All of the women here were speaking of this unknown man with fear and awe. Tenten herself had only ever seen ANBU talk about extremely powerful ninja like that. Suddenly, she heard her name being called. Turning, she saw Kurenai walk in with her four year old daughter, Asuka.

Kurenai grabbed another chair and sat down.

"Hello Tenten-chan, how have you been?"

"Good, and you?"

"Fine… Just tired."

She held up Asuka. "She is a handful. But I love her just the same."

Tenten smiled briefly, then her face changed to a frown. "Sensei, I wanted to talk to you about something."

Kurenai briefly glanced at her. "About what?"

"Well, there are these rumors that are going around now…"

"About me?"

"Wha– NO! I mean in general… I overheard some conversations and I wanted to know if you know anything."

"Shoot."

"Well, they were talking about someone who just returned, they called him the Beast, and– Sensei?"

Kurenai had stilled. Tenten wasn't sure if she was even breathing. She waved her hands in front of her frozen teacher. Kurenai seemed to snap back out of her funk.

"Are you sure… that that's what they said?"

"Yeah, they were talking about him as though he was a rapist or something."

"He wasn't a rapist."

"Sorry, what?"

"He was a ninja of Konoha. I thought he was gone for good…"

"What are you talking about? You're not making much sense."

Kurenai took a deep breath. "In Konoha, there have been only two great seduction experts. One of them you know, is Mitarashi Anko. She has remained an active kunoichi for almost twenty years. But she was and is still not the greatest seduction expert that we had. That title goes to the second and most powerful expert. He was known as the Fiery Beast of Konoha, or to his conquests, M-My Beast, My M-Master."

Tenten was quick to connect the dots. "He seduced you? Was this before or after Asuma?"

Kurena was breathing heavily. "Before, much before. But it wasn't a seduction…" She shuddered. "It was total control."

"It couldn't have been that bad."

"If he were to walk into this room, I would strip naked and present my ass to him for punishment."

Tenten blinked, unsure. "But who was he? You only gave me his title. They said that he's back, so that means he still is an active ninja."

Kurenai stared at Tenten for a while. "Are you sure that you want to know who it is? I don't believe that you would take it well."

Tenten was outraged. "I will handle just fine! Just tell me!"

Kurenai quietly stood up. "No, you're not ready. Maybe if you didn't know him as well, you would be ready to believe me. I will give you a hint, though. I did not choose to start wearing that bandage dress. That was a choice he made for me. Since then, he has modified the technique that he uses and I believe that you know it very well."

She left the confused ANBU kunoichi as she picked up Asuka and left for home.

Tenten was still trying to puzzle out what Kurenai had meant when she reached her apartment. As she closed the door, she felt something solidly impact the back of her neck, and she knew no more.

She opened her eyes blearily. She was still in her apartment, and she seemed to be still standing. But when she tried to move, she discovered something odd. Her muscles weren't responding. Her head was bowed downward, and her limbs hung limply. Vaguely, she could feel something wrapped around her extremities. She forced herself to stay calm. Panicking would not help anything. Suddenly, she felt something tighten around her hair, which had been drawn into a long ponytail. With her head up, she could see her arms. They were connected to the ceiling with bandages. In fact, all her limbs were. She was hanging about a foot off the ground, and she was connected to the ceiling like a marionette.

"You're not going to escape."

Tenten's eyes widened as she heard a familiar voice. Slowly, Gai walked into her view. Gone was his green jumpsuit, and in its place were black cargo pants and a sleeveless muscle shirt. His hair had been cut from his normal bowl cut, and was now spiked much like Naruto's untidy hair. Surprisingly, the eyebrows and the bandages remained, but they now added to his terrifying aura.

"S-Sensei?"

Gai raised a single finger, and almost like magic, Tenten's arms fell to her sides. She still couldn't move, but her positioning felt a little more natural.

"Although I am Gai, I am not the one that you have known for your entire life. Before the Fourth Hokage's untimely death, he had me, an unseen part of my mind, sealed away. I heard your conversation with my pet, so I believe you know what my title and my talents are.

Tenten began to shake.

"Yes, Nai-chan is but one of my pets. I am not the first to admit it, and even Anko herself respects me for skills. Nai-chan wore her bandage outfit faithfully for almost ten years. Since I was release almost a week ago, I have made checks on all my pets. None have forgotten their training, and many of them have settled down."

Tenten somehow found the courage to speak. "But why are you going after me?"

"Tenten! I thought I raised you better than that. You should know of the challenges that I set for myself. One of the very first ones that I made was that I was become Master of Konoha. After learning the skills of a Masseure on a particularly enjoyable D-rank, I learned how.

"But enough of that! Today is your day to learn. Our current Hokage has given me free reign, and I intend to exploit that to the fullest. So let us begin."

Out of nowhere, he produced a bag. With a single gesture, her body began to contort. She realized that he had individual bandages acting as strings for each of her individual fingers. She had not been undressed in any way, and that had confused her. But now she understood. With almost perfect motions, Tenten's hand reached for one of her hidden Kunai, and reaching up, she deftly cut through all her clothing. Soon she was naked in her cold apartment. She realized that her other hand was removing all the other hidden weapons that she had on her body. She wondered if her Sensei had always known where they were. Finally, she dropped her Kunai, and the fun began. Suddenly, she could feel her arms and legs being pulled upward. The bandages slowly rose up, and around her proffered limbs. Effectively hogtied, she could only watch as another bandage worked its way around her waist, pulling her midsection downward. Her head had remained at a constant level through all this, and she was sure that was intentional.

And it was. Her eyes tracked downward as he pulled an odd contraption with two suction cups out o the bag. Quickly, he looped them around her chest, and with a synchronized motion, the bandages suddenly dropped her closer to the ground. Gai stood up.

"You are going to enjoy this, Ten-chan. Don't worry, you're going to get used to it, because we're going to continue this until I get what I want."

Tenten tried to supress the shiver that went through her when he said that. Without warring, he switched the strange machine on. Tenten's eyes widened as a pleasurable pulling and pushing sensation was applied to the tips of her breasts.

'He's trying to milk me,' she realized idly as her hips twitched in response. It continued for almost ten minutes. Tenten couldn't hold it anymore. Her body shuddered, and… nothing happened. Her mind worked frantically as it restarted to figure out why it hadn't come. Suddenly, she felt the machine being unstrapped from her. Her breasts ached with need as the pleasant feeling of metal on flesh. As she heard the machine being set down, she felt rough hand rubbing her ass. It felt good, it felt like she could melt into a pile of goo right there… NO! She needed to remember to fight! But it felt so good. Why make it stop. She could feel her brain turning into slush as her Master vamped up the pleasure. She couldn't think. Don't stop, give me more… But he would. Every time she was close, he would back off. It was infuriating, but so, so effective. She felt his hands as they traced circles around her most intimate areas. Kurenai had said that what he did wasn't seduction. If Tenten was in a right state of mind, she would agree. But as it was, she was having trouble with simple addition. His hands ran themselves up and down her limbs. Even if she had control of her muscles, she wouldn't have moved at this point. Her body felt like an overcharged clit. But somehow, he was able to play her body like a flute, and let her know that he was all she wanted and needed.

Gai smirked. She was nearly ready. He leaned down. "You want more, don't you? You want to cum so desperately that you would sell your soul to the Devil, wouldn't you? Well, I'm sorry Ten-chan, but you're not going to come until you give me what I want. What is it that I want? I will let you come if you bring another young lady to me. Before you can think coherently again, I'm going to tell you that any attempts of masturbation are going to be unsatisfactory for you. You are mine Ten-chan, all you have to do is accept it."

With that, he placed a single kunai in her mouth, and without any pleasantries, vanished from her room. Tenten was left hogtied. And as rationality came back into her brain, she simply hung there. The pleasure that he had given her was already ebbing away, and the clouds in her head were dissipating. No, it was getting stronger. Tenten realized that if she didn't make a decision soon, she would lose her free will.
