"Here you go."

A cup filled with tea was placed in front of Sakura and Ino, the two friends thank their waitress before returning back to their conversation. A conversation that the topic itself still baffled them beyond belief, neither of them could still fathom what had happened. Someone like them to do such crimes, after all the digging and evidence piled against. From the information which Ino had obtain, remembering their mannerism about the whole ordeal. Thinking back to the assignment which Tsunade had assigned them to, the way in which May drove straight into and would secretly run her own research and data. Never telling anyone else, using codes to hide her information from everyone.

"Who would have thought, May was so..."Ino tries to put her words together.

"Secretive. Deceptive. Treacherous. "

Ino thinks about the words her friend just used to describe the Ex-Suna kounichi, her words were heavy and hurtful. But none the less rang the truth, even if it did seem a bit shaky. Slowly she nods her head agreeing with them.

"I mean, she just didn't seem like it. Still though..."

"Yeah, I know. It still is a shock completely. I mean not to mention about what she did to Hinata. Their both both friends, and what she did to Kai-in cold blood."

Ino shakes her head in disbelief."Not to mention what she did to that poor town. I mean one the outside, May doesn't seem like the type of person who would or could do something like that. Her heart, no her soul doesn't look conniving at all."

"But we found the facts, the evidence. Everything. She even fled the scene, remember how defensive she became when we asked her questions. Not to mention the way she would redirect us from the topics."

"Or that time, our data just some how vanished. Not to mention all those late nights, she would take that would go all the way into the morning."

"She was just too secretive. Not to mention, her strange justu that she can do. I mean the flying. Not even Hinata nor Neji could see any sort of chakra in her system when she does those.."Sakura imitates May, when she would throw her energy balls."I mean, is that even normal? Not to mention the way she heals others and herself. Her energy is pretty strange."

"Yeah, she can't use jutsu like the rest of us. But neither can Lee."Ino says in slight defense of May.

"Yeah I know that. But this is different, think about it. None of this strange stuff started happening until well, I hate to say it..when May appeared in the picture. I mean, I don't know if you heard others from Sunagakure, through whispers. They said she just showed up out of line air. And next thing she's part of village, I mean we've asked her about her life. Where she came from. Her family. But everything she says is clouded in mystery. Even when she smiles, it always seems to be hiding something. It's pretty eerie. She's always smiling, no matter what the circumstance was. Even when she talked about her family, though she seem distraught over about them. There was not a single tear shed. I don't know about you, but any normal person would shed or have some sort of pain from the lose of their family or those they care about. If she claims to."

"Yeah."Ino sighs agreeing.

Sakura looks at her gloomy friend, no doubt there was something weighing on her. It had to be the verdict that was given to May, one that everyone knew about. The girl being sent to Kyoshin-jo Prison. A place that was considered very hellish and ruthless, located in an almost barren waste land, not much was really known about this prison besides the fact it was very well secured. Many villages have seen their own there, should the crime be extreme. Which in May's case it was. It was considered a pretty strong defense to be sent there, and someone like May just didn't seem like the type to be sent to a place like that. Then again, she was so cold and emotionless when told where she was going. Having heard from Tsunade herself.

The woman informed the latter May just stood there unfazed when she was read her case and punishment. Even the guards who escorted her there, one being Guy sensei. Who even stated May was colder than ice, when she arrived to place. Not even breaking when she heard the blood curing wailing. Like she was expecting this, and ready for it. Guy had to admit, he had never seen such a steel front before on a person. May held her head high admirably. But that was really all, she didn't make a peep nor sound. There was not a single ounce of remorse upon her. Which Guy found strange, because May seem like the type who thrived off emotions and logic. To not see her react, was just strange to the man.

"I still can't believe that the Kazakage, would have her sent there."Sakura's words break Ino out of her deep thinking.

Her friend looks at the girl. Sakura looks at Ino a bit puzzled by this."It's even stranger, that Gaara didn't even bother to show up. Can't blame him really, it must be hard. Someone whom you took in to turn around on your village like that. I can only imagine what must be going through his mind. Even Temari's. Then there's Natsuki and Kaito. What was May thinking on doing all this? Did she even bother to think of all her consequences? What effect they would have on others?"Sakura's words filled with disappointment and confusion. With just a bit of anger.

Ino listen to her friend's words, lamenting on them. They made sense, very much. Still though, looking into her cup Ino couldn't help but feel something didn't seem right or it was just this tugging feeling inside her that was causing her mind to overheat from her constant over thinking on the whole matter. Thinking that often made her mind drift away wondering if she had done the right thing. The right thing in turning May over? To start the investigation on May?

After May was rushed off quickly from their last mission together in Kirikagure, after her episode when she saw the Kraang. That strange looking creature, then May seem to look like she knew them, then there was the attack on the Land of Wind and from what Hinata told her, May confessed whatever those things where, had to be after her. Then again, May's sudden disappearance in Kusagakure, right when the village was attacked. Not to mention when Konoha was attacked, the way May fled off even though she was trying to save Kurenai's daughter. It was the fact May seem to either be present or not present when these sudden attacks happened. Like it was planned or timed. Just like when May left on her with Neji and the area they found blew up. Something just didn't seem to add up. Ino didn't know what it was.

She felt so torn right now, a part of her believed May to be all those things Sakura said. While her other half was screaming at her with guilt she was wrong. Thinking about it, she saw May's eyes looking at her so innocently and broken and scared. Her eyes asking Ino, "Why"? Why she did this? An answer Ino herself could not answer, she had not answer. Unable to fathom this, she gets up thanking Sakura for her time, leaving her payment and leaves.

Walking down her village, Ino's mind stayed locked on May. Thinking of her, when she first met her in her family's flower shop. The innocent look she had on, when trying to find a flower with Hinata. It was something about the way May looked, that just seem to resonate to her. Ino couldn't put her finger on it, something just seem to pull her to May, that seem different from Sakura, she felt herself compelled for some reason towards May. Like May needed her, but she didn't know why, May seem to always have this lost look in her eyes that Ino wanted to take her hand and guide her the right way. This sense of feeling the need to be May's caretaker in a sense, to watch out for her. Which was why she would worry about May, always being there to patch her up for her recklessness. Just like how she was in Amegakure, that day for some reason scared Ino really bad. The thought of losing May just scared her, and again when she felt she almost lost her back in the Land of Wind. Which Ino again patched her up despite the latter needing it, Ino felt she was the first one to see May's healing at first hand. The way May would outline her body and all her injuries just seem to vanish, it was always astounding to see.

"...May..."Ino softly says her name.

Stopping she looks up at the sky, imagining May flying over head in a hurry or just to enjoy the scenery for her own purpose. She seem to really love flying towards the sun, the moon even the stars. Ino never understood why, she found it strange May did that like she had never seen them before. Her eyes always filled with wonder because of it. That pit feeling twisted in her stomach, making her feel sick. Just thinking about May, about everything. Tears slowly come to her eyes, they burned in the corner of her eyes with deep regret that she didn't seem to understand. Though she was told she had done the right thing, she didn't feel it.

"May..."she cries thinking of all the horror May must be going through right now."..."She felt her tears about to roll down, but quickly wipes them. She couldn't shed tears for an enemy. Even if her soul cried out for her to do so.
