~Tamotsu's POV~

Naruto and Tenshi were half way transformed into their Tailed Beast form. If it became anything like when we were training with Jiraiya and Kenmei, then we're in trouble.

"Give Sasuke back," Tenshi and Naruto growled.

"There is no giving back, Naruto and Tenshi. Here let me explain it to you. Sasuke came to use of his own free will, it's about time you got over it. Going on like that is hardly behaving as a man or a woman," Kabuto told them.

"Shut your mouth, four eyes! You don't know a damned thing about Naruto's or Tenshi's feeling! I've hand more than enough of your 'cool attitude'!" Sakura shouted at him.

"If you want to know about Sasuke, why don't you try forcing it out of me? If you can that is," Orochimaru taunted. I saw Tenshi smirk.

"No problem, you bastard," she growled. Before we knew it, she and Naruto ran forward and hit them sending Orochimaru miles away. They both had grown one tail, Tenshi's was white as Naruto's was orange. Their chakra covered them like a shield. I then remembered when they both lost control last time, Naruto had hurt Jiraiya in the chest while Tenshi hurt Kenmei in the stomach, both of them nearly died.

"Naruto, Tenshi…I see you've developed very nicely as Jinjuurikis," Kabuto smirked at them. Tenshi growled at him as Orochimaru came back.

"My, oh my, you sure have become quite the Jinjuurikis, Naruto and Tenshi, and that explains why you were chosen to watch over him, it would appear my experiments were of some help after all. I should think Konoha would be a bit more appreciative, wouldn't you agree dearest guinea pig of mine?" Orochimaru asked Yamato. I looked at Yamato with a stern look.

"What is he talking about, Yamato?" I growled. He didn't answer.

"Guinea pig? Just who is this person?" Kabuto asked.

"Well, you see, the First Hokage was a Shinobi processing the most unique of abilities…his Wood Style Ninjutsu and what's more, he was able to bend Tailed Beasts to his own will…oh how I coveted those gifts of his, hehe," Orochimaru chuckled. "Having obtained data on the First's genome from his remains, I carried out an experiment in which his genetic traits were sliced into the cells of sixty different children, my test subjects, but their bodies didn't seem to like the foreign DNA, to say the least. They died by the dozens, one after another and here I thought they'd all share the same fate, to think there was one lone survivor," Orochimaru told us. I looked at Yamato and saw pain in his eyes. My ears flattened a little, he was forced to be an experiment as a child.

"Well then, it seems you'll be able to get your hands on what one might call a long overdue research sample," Kabuto said. Yeah right, over my dead body.

"Yes, but before that, I would wish to see our Sasuke fight the Kyuubi boy and Jyuubi girl once, I wonder which once has gotten stronger," Orochimaru smirked. I felt power rising, this can't be good.

"In our presence, don't you dare talk of Sasuke as though he belongs to you!" Tenshi and Naruto growled. Everything started spiraling out of control from there. They both then grew two more tails each. As Naruto let out a small roar, Tenshi howled. Kabuto went to attack them, they turned and let out animalistic cries. Spheres formed around them destroying the bridge, the explosion sent Kabuto back a ways, and I and Sakura onto our backs, Sakura ended up hitting her head making her lose consciousness. Yamato use his Wood Style to hold the bridge a little. Sai then drew a bird for his Jutsu to go after Naruto and Tenshi, who started attacking Orochimaru again. Sakura started falling off the bridge.

"Sai, Help Sakura!" I shouted to him, but he ignored me and let her fall. Yamato then caught her in his Wood Style and brought her back up. I glared at Sai who was a little ways away. When I get my paws on him, I'll rip him a part! I ran over to Yamato and Sakura, I started licking Sakura's cheek to wake her up. I soon smelt blood…Naruto and Tenshi's blood…they're reaching their forth tails. Sakura then woke up.

"Sakura, are you alright?" Yamato asked her. She sat up and winced in pain while holding her head. I whimpered seeing my comrade and friend in pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm fine now," she told us. I shook my head.

"Sakura, move some of your hair and I'll take a look," I said to her. She did as she was told and I saw the injury, I licked it making it heal making it into nothing but a small bump. She smiled at me.

"Thanks, Tamotsu," she said to me. I licked her cheek.

"No problem, kid," I told her. Yamato made a Wood Clone and sent him after Naruto and Tenshi. Sakura looked at the destroyed bridge.

"What happened here?" She asked. I sighed and looked down.

"It was all Naruto and Tenshi," Yamato told her.

"Where are they?" She asked him urgently.

"On the other side of the bridge along with Orochimaru," I told her. I started whimpering at the thought of Naruto and Tenshi getting hurt because of what's in them. Sakura placed a hand on my head. "The last time they lost control, the nearly killed Jiraiya and Kenmei, there was only one way for me to get Tenshi out of it," I told her.

"What was it?" She asked me. I sighed.

"Sasuke…I told her that Sasuke wouldn't like to see her like that, he would want to control her power and not hurt anyone. It got through to her," I told them. This just shows, Tenshi, you and Sasuke are meant to be, but…what if you were also meant to be with Gaara? I looked at them. "I have to set up a link to Tenshi, but I can't do it from here, will you two be alright?" I asked them. They nodded, I ran over to the wood bridge the Wood Clone made and ran over it. I then started running towards the Fox and Wolf. I found Tenshi and saw her covered in her own blood with four tails, just like Naruto. They both growled at Orochimaru who then had snakes come out of his mouth and over to my comrades. Naruto and Tenshi then sent their hands into the ground and had them chase Orochimaru, who sent another 'him' out of his mouth and punched Naruto who just shifted himself like the punch never happened. Tenshi and Naruto then started making something like a particle ball and swallowed it. They grew and then blew out a blast like a cannon of some sort towards Orochimaru. Orochimaru then did the Triple Demons Gate Jutsu. The energy from the blast created a huge crater. I walked up to Tenshi. "Tenshi, look at me," I said calmly to her. She did look at me though. "Tenshi, look at me, dammit!" I shouted at her. She then looked at me and growled and swiped her paw at me, cutting my side making me yelp. She started stalking towards me but I walked backwards. "Think about what you're doing, would Sasuke like this?" I asked her. She stopped and tilted her head.

"Sasu…ke," she mumbled. I nodded.

"And Gaara, what would he think? Would they want you to be like this? To hurt the ones you care about?" I asked her.

"Sa…suke…Gaa…ra….mates," She mumbled. I nodded.

"Yes, your mates, the boys who love you just as you love them. Come back…for them, Tenshi…for me, sister," I said to her. Her hands flew to her head and she screamed. She was fighting it. She soon turned back to normal, I ran over to her and started licking her to heal her. Once I did, I got her away from the area and over to Sakura and Yamato. She was on my back when Yamato and Sakura saw her. Yamato got her off my back and laid her down. She groaned and started to wake up. I licked her cheek. "Come on, sis, wake up," I said to her. She opened her eyes and I saw tears.

"Tamotsu…I'm so sorry," she cried. I shook my head.

"It wasn't you fault, Tenshi, that was the Jyuubi," I told her. She shook her head. Sakura and Yamato looked at my side.

"What happened?" Sakura asked me. I looked at Tenshi who was crying making me flatten my ears and whimper. She started healing me as I looked at Tenshi. When I was healed, Tenshi hugged me, I hugged her back.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm alright now," I cooed. This girl, having to live with this curse…she's afraid to lose me like she did her mother, because of what she has in her. Soon, Naruto was thrown over here with a Katana blade stabbed in him.

"Naruto!" Tenshi shouted in worry for the boy who was like a brother. Naruto broke the blade and threw it at the bridge, destroying more of it. Yamato grabbed Sakura as I grabbed Tenshi and we jumped over to the side a little ways away from Naruto. Naruto roared…his senses were leaving him. Sakura started crying and ran over to Naruto. "No, Sakura, don't!" Tenshi shouted. Tenshi stood up and ran over to Sakura who was slashed in the arm and ended up getting slashed in the back.

"Tenshi! Sakura!" I shouted. I brought my paw up to distract Naruto. "Raging Claw!" I shouted send three white claw marks to Naruto while Yamato started the binding Jutsu. I walked over to Tenshi and Sakura as Kabuto started walking over. I growled at him making him stop. "Stay right where you are, scum. I won't let you touch them!" I growled menacingly. He sighed.

"Hey now, we have no reason to fight you guys anymore, on the contrary, just the opposite," he said to us.

"What do you mean?" Yamato asked him. Kabuto then sent his healing chakra over to Tenshi and Sakura healing their wounds a little to stop the bleeding. "You and us have the same objective…the Akatsuki are in the way. If we let you guys live, you might be able to take out another Akatsuki member," Kabuto told us. He then looked at Naruto who was in the Wood Bind. "Although, that is your companion, so you'll need you rely on yourself to handle the rest," he told us. Yamato then did hand seals.

"Hokage Style: Forced Retirement Jutsu!" He shouted while the seal showed on his hand. "Return to innocence!" He shouted. He then pressed his hand to Naruto's chest, with that, Naruto started turning back to normal. Sakura and I started healing him then while Tenshi held his hand. I could see that Sakura's arm hurt just as Tenshi's back hurt, but now I can't do anything because they're not bleeding anymore. Sakura started asking about the Sealing Jutsu and if she could learn it. Unfortunately, she could not. Only the First Hokage could do it because of the necklace that Naruto wears. This was the reason Yamato was chosen to be the leader of this team. I looked at him.

"You could have told us that, we would have trusted you more, you know," I told him. He sighed but nodded. Naruto then woke up, he didn't remember what happened…but Tenshi remembered everything. I looked at her, she had her head down and didn't talk at all. Naruto looked at the bridge and was confused on what happened.

"Wait, where's Sai?" Sakura asked.

"Sai…right now, he's moving together with Orochimaru," Yamato told us. He had us follow him to the crater that Tenshi and Naruto made.

"First the bridge is destroyed, then this crater here…what on earth happened?" Naruto asked. Tenshi and I didn't say anything.

"You remember nothing?" Yamato asked him.

"Oh yeah…how come I was unconscious through it all?" He asked. I was about to tell him when Sakura stopped me.

"Orochimaru got to you and left you unconscious," she told him. I shook my head, he has to know; he needs to know so he can control it.

"So that's it! Damn him!" Naruto shouted. I then saw something under Sai's scroll, it was his art book. Sakura picked it up.

"Sai's things are scattered on the ground," she mentioned.

"He dropped those things and left them there, that's all. I guess even he could keep his cool standing before Orochimaru," Yamato told us.

"You know what happened, right?" Sakura asked him.

"The Wood Clone of mine was here until a few moments ago. We'd been communicating through a radio transmitter I hid in here," he said pointing to his headband.

"Did something happen to Sai?" Sakura asked.

"Sai…after a discussion with Orochimaru, he followed them back," Yamato told her.

"Whaddaya mean?" Naruto asked him.

"In the discussion itself?" Sakura added.

"Seems it was too far for my Clone to listen in," Yamato answered.

"He might have been taken by force," Sakura told him.

"No, didn't seem like it. He approached Orochimaru on his own and handed him something…it was almost as if he were trying to get on Orochimaru's good graces," Yamato figured.

"Hey, hold on a second! Sure he's a jerk and all, but he wouldn't betray…" Sakura interrupted Naruto.

"No, he just might have," she told him. She looked at Yamato. "Captain Yamato, this 'Danzou' person," she said to him

"I know him, the hawkish leader who stood in opposition to the Third Hokage," Yamato told her.

"Who's he?" Naruto asked.

"Sai's superior, an old geezer who thought poorly of the Third's ideals," Sakura told him.

"It's quite possible Danzou's relying on Sai to set plans of his own in motion," Yamato said to us. He looked at Tenshi. "Tenshi, you've been really quiet, do you know something?" He asked her. She glared at her ground and gritted her teeth.

"Yeah…Sai was given a secret mission from Danzou," she growled.

"What are you talking about, Tenshi?" Naruto asked her.

"I mean, Danzou gave him a mission to kill Sasuke," she told him. We all gasped.

"How do you know this, Tenshi? That's a serious accusation," Yamato told her. She looked at him.

"Because I read his damned mine, didn't you forget about my Kekkei Genkai, I read both your minds the first time I showed you my Taiingan," she told him. His eyes widened then narrowed.

"Why didn't you mention this before?" He asked her. She smirked.

"Because I already threatened him that if he tries to kill Sasuke then I would kill him slow and painfully, and he knows I don't bluff," she told him. Everyone's but my eyes widened.

"You actually threatened him?!" Naruto shouted. Tenshi nodded.

"I told you, I never trusted him and now you know why, I knew from the beginning that he planned to kill Sasuke, I threatened him, then went a different approach to make him see that he gained my trust hoping he wouldn't do it…I guess it didn't work so well," she said to us. Her fist the clenched. "And now I'm gonna kill him!" She growled. I nudged her shoulder.

"No, you're not, we'll take him to Tsunade and get this sorted out…then he can be my chew toy," I told her. She let out a small chuckle and nodded. I looked at everyone. "We should get moving, we don't want to lose them," I advised. They all nodded then Naruto fainted. I guess he was still a little weak from all the power he used. Yamato said we should leave him, when's he's rested then he can go back to the village, but Tenshi and Sakura argued against it. Naruto said he was fine. Turns out Yamato was teamed up with Kakashi in the Anbu.

"How come I've never heard of you then? I know all the Jounin and Anbu," Tenshi said to him.

"I told him to keep me a secret from you. Honestly, I didn't really want to meet the holder of the Jyuubi…or see the daughter of the woman I thought of as a sister," he said to her. She glared at him.

"Pretty lame reason if you ask me, would my mother have thought different than me?" She asked him. He sighed and shook his head. "Exactly, think about others before you put your needs before they're own, you never know if you'll hurt them," she said to him. He nodded knowing she was right.

"We should get moving, we don't want to lose the trail, we also need to get Sai and Sasuke back," I said to them. They all nodded and we were off. We started moving through the woods, I could tell Tenshi and Sakura were in pain. Sakura ended up using her bad arm and fell. Yamato caught her though.

"Are you alright, Sakura?" Naruto asked her. She nodded. Tenshi landed and winced. "Tenshi, what about you?" He asked her. She nodded. We sat them against the tree and Naruto looked at their injuries. Sakura said it was from Orochimaru but Tenshi didn't say where she got hers. She stood up and looked at Naruto giving him a soft look.

"Naruto, we need to talk," she said to him. Yamato tried to stop her. "Yamato, you wouldn't understand, so back off and leave it someone who knows what they're doing," she advised. He sighed but nodded. She walked off with Naruto and started talking to him.

~Tenshi's POV~

I grabbed Naruto's hand and led him away from the group, he needed to know what happened. Otherwise, if he learned later, it would hurt him more. I kept a hold of his hand.

"Naruto…the injury you saw on Sakura's arm….and the one on my back…you did those," I told him softly. His eyes widened.

"How? Why would I do that?" He asked me. I sighed.

"When you lost control of the Kyuubi, you lost yourself as well. It was the Kyuubi who attacked us, but in your body," I told him. He looked down.

"It's my fault you both got hurt," he said to me. I shook my head and held his face in my hands.

"It was not your fault, the Kyuubi did that, not you. Trust me, I know how you feel, the Jyuubi made me hurt Tamotsu too, I also blamed myself until he told me that it was the Jyuubi, not me. The same applies to you, Naruto. The reason I didn't have Yamato talk to you about this is because I know he would make it sound horrible, he would make it sound like we're nothing but monsters, but I know you need to hear this from someone who understands you. We aren't monsters, we're just misunderstood creatures who need to learn more control over our beasts. Once we do, we'll be able to bring Sasuke home and be able to protect everyone," I told him. He gave me a smile and hugged me.

"Thanks, sis. I'm glad to have you in my life," he told me. I hugged him back and smiled.

"Me too, bro, me too," I said to him. We separated and walked back to the others. Yamato narrowed his eyes at me and I glared back making him flinch.

"You were too soft," he told me.

"That was a private conversation, and that's not up to you, what do you know about Jinjuuriki? You don't know how we feel, I remember what I do and I hate it, but Naruto is never able to remember his attacks and that's worse. He doesn't need to be put down because of it, he needs some to support him to help him become stronger…to help him gain more control," I told him.

"Like you? You just as bad as he is," he told me. I growled.

"I'll admit, I need to learn a little more control too, but I have an anchor compared to him," I told them. I then gave a stern look. "That's why you're not dead yet," I told him. He narrowed his gaze again, but just as before, it didn't faze me. That's right, Yamato, in this pack…I'm the alpha, not you.
