Hello my kitties! It's been a while since I last updated this story so I thought I would give it a shot and see what happened.
Please bear with me cause I have a headache.

Shay walked next to Mizu quietly, noting that Mizu had dropped back out of the formation to walk beside her. Their hands and shoulders occasionally brushing causing both women to flush a little bit and mutter soft apologies under their breath.
Shay understood that Mizu wanted to try and comfort her, and she appreciated the woman's efforts, but brushing up against her felt a little weird. Kind of like first date weird. Still she said nothing about it because she could see that Mizu was upset about the fact that she was going to be interrogated.
Shay leaned into the woman's personal space a little bit more and asked in a hushed tone. "Do you know what method they're planning to use?"
Mizu looked at her then quickly looked away and then grasped Shay's hand in hers and shook her head no. Shay got a slightly alarmed look on her face and put her free hand over her stomach.
Mizu squeezed her hand, trying to comfort her. Tsunade had said that she wanted Shay in one piece for interrogation. Which meant that she was probably going to use one of the Yamanakaa clan's jutsu to get her answers.
But it could be very stressful and even painful since the Yamanaka would be delving into Shay's mind. Weeding out secrets and lies. Analyzing her memories.
Tsunade wanted to know why Shay was a threat to Madara. She wanted to know what Shay's blood line limit was. But there was something that Tsunade might not have thought of. Something that scared Mizu witless.
What if Shay didn't actually know about her abilities?
What if she didn't know why Madara was targeting her? What would happen to her then? Would Tsunade stop the interrogation due to Shay's innocence or would she order the Yamanaka forcing his way into her mind to dig deeper?
Would Tsunade risk having the jutsu drive Shay insane just so that she would have her answers?
They reached the designated area much faster than Mizu thought they would and found Tsunade and Sakura standing at the door to the tented area. Tsunade glared at Mizu. And Mizu glared back.
Both women silently conveying just what they thought of the other at that moment.
Tsunade thought Mizu was acting irresponsible. Like a child.
Mizu thought that Tsunade could have stood to sleep a little longer. She was acting like a total bitch towards the wrong person.
"Mizukage-" Tsunade growled at the younger woman warningly. Mizu ignored her as she let go of Shay's hand as Sakura bit upset and a little sad and worried all at once, and took hold of Shay's hand.
"Is there anyhting you need me to get for you Shay?"
Shay was silent for a moment and said in a hopeful voice. "Gaara." Mizu smiled at the scared young woman and then gave her a hug then when she stepped back she glanced at Sakura and said in a hushed tone.
"Take care of her until Gaara and I get back here."
Sakura nodded her head and tugged on Shay's arm to get her to follow her. Shay walked behind her wordlessly into the tent before she seemed to snap herself out of her funk enough to ask Sakura if the interrogation was going to hurt the baby.
Tsunade fell into step behind the two, silently observing them as Sakura answered the young woman's questions as best as she could without telling her what was going to be done. Sakura had agreed with Tsunade that keeping the girl in the dark as much as possible about the procedure that was going to be done.
Feeling that if she knrew everything ahead of time, she might panic and try to fight them. Causing more harm to herself than neccasary.
Yet at the same time Tsunade sensed that the girl was fishing for information about what was going to occur. And she found it strange that the girl did it without arousing Sakura's suspicion when she asked her something.
