Ino stepped outside to speak to mother in privacy.

"Well…did you find the scrolls?" She curiously asked.

"I did. That's the good news. I guess you could say that the bad news is that, they're in Iwagakure in the main house."

"That's good, so all we have to do is go there and we're free!" Makikyo said from within Ino.

"I guess, but what am I suppose to say to Sasuke? I can't lie to him again." She didn't like lying to him, but she didn't want to tell him.

"Then you just have to just tell him. I'm sure he'll understand." Her mother added.

"I don't know. Sometimes he can…overreact."

"Just tell him! If he blows up then oh well! The sooner we're separated, the better."

"Ino, I'll come back later on today, if that's okay with you."

"Oh yeah, I'm sure when you come back everything will be situated out by the time you come." Ino smiled at her mother.

"If you say so," she gave Ino a hug and went back to her own house.

After their conversation, Ino went back in her house and did her daily routines. By the afternoon, the house was pretty much quiet. The teenagers were most of the time out the house.

"This is my chance!" the blonde told herself.

Sasuke was in their bedroom; prepare to leave for a mission. She quickly went upstairs to tell him her little secret. When she got up there, she noticed him bended over the bed, putting shurikens and kunais in his pouch.

"Hey Sasuke," she began, "I need to tell you something." She looked at the ground as she spoke.

"What is it?" he kept putting weapons in his pouch as he replied.

"Can you just stop for a moment? It's rather…important."

He sighed as he sat on their bed, "What do you need to talk about?"

"Well, "she joined him on the bed, "When I was captured by Orochimaru, the sort of did an experiment on me."

Her husband's eyes slightly widened, "What did they do to you?" he said in a stern voice.

"Well, I have this demon inside me, but my mom and I are going to get it removed." She said reassuring him.

"What? Why did you say anything before?" Sasuke was now standing up.

"Because I didn't want to worry you!" She remained sitting.

"A little too late now. We're married Ino, we're suppose to work out these problems together!" their voices were getting louder.

"I know that! But I knew you were busy with other stuff so, I went to my mom's house because they experienced this before. She knows how to get her out!" Ino explained. "That's why today, we're going to Iwagakure to get the scrolls."

Having calmed down a little bit, he sat back down, "And you tell me before a mission I have to go on. How long will you be gone?"

"I don't know, probably like one to two weeks maybe." She informed him.

"God, Ino, you can be difficult to deal with." He rubbed the back of his neck with his hand.

"But you still love me!" She smiled at him.

"Surprisingly, I do."

She pretended to gasp, "Shut up."

Sasuke was then done packing, "Well I got to leave."

"Okay, come back safe." Ino hugged her husband.

He then gave her a lingering kiss, "You know I will." And then he left, leaving her standing in the room alone.

"Well what are you waiting for! You should start packing too!" Makikyo was impatient.

"Okay, okay! I will!"

By the time she got finished packing, her mother knocked on her door.

"One moment!" She shouted from upstairs.

While Natsumi was waiting for her daughter to finish packing, she notice her granddaughter walking towards the house with her older brother.

"Mizuki, Masaru, how are you two? It's been a while since we both saw each other."

"We've been fine, grandma. Why are you here?" Mizuki asked since she usually doesn't come here often.

"Oh, well your mother and I are going to see some relatives in Iwagakure. So we'll be gone for a maybe…a week or two."

"Why don't you come in and sit while you wait for mom?" Masaru offered.

"It's alright, dear. She should be done packing any moment."

Then they suddenly heard quick, light footsteps race down the staircase.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Oh, Mizuki, have you seen Kazuki?"

"Yeah, he was practicing his throwing shurikens."

"Thanks, your father is on a mission, so he'll be home soon. I'll go tell Kazuki."

"Okay, have a safe trip!" Mizuki shouted as her mother and grandmother started walking away.

After a couple of minutes of walking, Ino and Natsumi reached the forest in which Kazuki was practicing in.

"Kazuki! Come here." Ino yelled at her oldest son.

He quickly ran towards her, "Hi grandma. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to let you know that your father is on a mission and that I will be gone for about a week or two in Iwagakure, visiting relatives. So you are in charge as always. Make sure Masaru and Mizuki don't get in trouble."

"Don't worry, I will."

She then gave him a kiss on the forehead and headed towards the village's gates. Soon they were making their way to the Rock village.

"Man, it's going to take us a week to get there!" ino started complaining.

"Oh quit complaining! More walking, less talking." Makikyo didn't really feel like hearing her complain."

"Will you just shut up?" Ino told the demon in side of her.

"Ino, we should probably find a hotel to stay in." Nataume suggested as the sun stated to set.

"You're right." After searching, they finally found one.

Five days passed by, and they were close to the Rock village.

"We're almost there mom!" Ino happily told her mother.

"Too bad you won't make it!"

Ino then quickly turned around to see who said that. She didn't see anyone but then a couple of ninjas jumped down from a tree branch.

"Who are you and what do you guys want?" Ino asked the male ninjas in a serious voice as her mother stood behind her.

"Rememember us? We were in Orochimaru's hideout. We are quite interested in that demon in got inside your body. We want her for ourselves." One of the ninjas told her, probably the leader.

"Too bad you won't get her." A bright they shone from her body. She was wear Maikiyo's clothing with crimson painted eyes.

You guys want to play?" she asked them with a smirk.

"We won't go easy on you just because you're a girl!" The leader then ran towards her with a kunai. Makikyo/Ino took out their scythe and charged towards him. As soon as she was close to him, she disappeared and appeared right behind him, slash his back with a big, deadly cut. He died instantly.

"Who's next? Is that the best you guys got? That was pathetic!" she provoked the rest of the other ninjas.

"Don't underestimate us!" one of the guys said. They all decided to attack her at once.

Once she knew she was surrounded, she performed a jutsu, "Blazing spinning wheel!" as she performed it; she took her scythe and spun it in front of her. All of a sudden, a wheel of fire started to spin around her and then expanded, burning all of her opponents.

"Heh, that was easy. I was expecting more of a fight." Makikyo's clothes the faded to Ino's.

"Are you okay, mom?" she asked to make sure.

"Oh, yes, I am," she told Ino, "She really is powerful." She said in a low voice so that only she could hear herself.

"Okay, shall we go? We're almost there, only like a mile left to walk." Ino estimated.

"Yeah, we should go. They're waiting for us."


Thats all for chapter 9!
