Sei had already unlocked the side door and let Orochimaru and Tsunade in. He went into the library to start his homework while he waited for his sister and Jiraiya.

"He better not do anything to her," he thought coldly as he pulled out a chair to a table and sat down. Tsunade sat down at another table absently as Orochimaru looked at a shelf of books. He'd never heard of any of the books on the shelves. He pulled a book off of it and quietly flipped through it. It was a medical text book.

"Are these your father's books?" he asked politely. Sei looked up from the text book he was reading.

"Most of them, but I don't think he'll care if you read any of them. Although he might care if you take them with you," he replied, and then turned back to his homework. He scribbled something down as Orochimaru sat down by Tsunade, showing her the book.

Jiraiya and Lei walked in a few minutes later, Lei holding a cream colored kitten. She put down the feline and it bounds over to Sei, almost sitting on his homework. He looked up with a start and glared at Smicha.

"Watch it cat," he growled, shooing her off the table. Lei sat across from him and pulled out her text books and a small packet of paper. Her writing was neater than his but he wrote faster and was half done with a worksheet. He paused on question ten.

"Great, I have to draw."
"Good luck with your stick figures then," she replied, finishing a worksheet. She set it aside and started another. Sei glared at her and then went back to his paper. Jiraiya sat down with Orochimaru and Tsunade. He looked down at the book.

"What's that you're reading?"
"A book Seiraiya wrote over cell regeneration and combining it with medical ninjutsu," she answered, fascinated by the book's contents. "It's only a publication copy and hasn't been released yet. If he actually gets this published, it could revolutionize the medical corps." She flipped through the pages with anxious fingers. Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.

"Really?" he looked at the pages as she flipped through them. She turned to Orochimaru.

"Nice find," she said, he shrugged. Lei had just finished another worksheet when her eyes suddenly turned silver and she was still. Sei looked up at her, confused.

"Sis?" his voice was concerned. He gave her a gentle poke with his pencil. "Um, Master Jiraiya…" Jiraiya turned around.

"What is it?"
"She's" pokes her again. "not moving." She only stared, quietly. Jiraiya stood up and went over to her. He gently pulled her away from the table and against the back of the chair. Her eyes were silver, distant, and the rest of her body was limp. She dropped her pencil when she was pulled back. He gently poked her cheek.

"It's nothing a ninja could've done. She's just spaced out," he replied looking back at Sei. He looked at his sister, still concerned. Tsunade looked directly at Sei.

"How often does she do this?"
"Not very often. It only happens every so often, and my dad's not even sure what triggers the visions," he answered. Tsunade wasn't surprised he knew. She opened her mouth to speak as Lei finally blinked and sat up. She rubbed her head with a hand and looked up at Jiraiya.

"What?"

"Nothing. Your brother was worried about you when you spaced out," he replied, patting her head, turning back to his team mates and sitting back down with them. Lei smiled but it quickly faded and she turned and started on her homework again. Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and Orochimaru, his eyes narrowing.

"Don't try to invade her mind if you're planning on it. She can block you out as easily as I can," he though and projected it to them.

"She can Mind Bend?" Tsunade asked, a little shocked.

"Why were you Bending her in the first place?" Orochimaru asked, prodding.

"It was right before Nokki showed up. She knew he was coming, I'm certain of it."
"It's not hard to predict his actions. He's more taijutsu than nin and genjutsu," Orochimaru said in an observant thought. In Mind Bending, none of your thoughts are private. Who ever you're Bending can hear everything you think and vise versa.

"Interesting analysis," Tsunade inquired, she's watching Lei now as she finishes her homework and pulls out her sketch book. Her hand darted about the page, marking with her pencil, forming shapes, and lines that she couldn't see.

"Tsunade don't."
"I wasn't going to do anything. I'm just keeping an eye on her."
