Mayu couldn't say that she was very happy at the moment. Things had taken a turn for the worse after her teammate had unleashed the powerful chakra residing within him. The blond had lost control too quickly, and now he was… Blue eyes narrowed in the direction of the stupid shinobi known as Uzumaki Naruto. She grimaced and clenched her teeth as the medic of the team healed her. She supposed that she had been a bit stupid as well, which is why she was in her current position, listening to her roaring teammate.

For a moment, she shut her eyes. Naruto had become absolutely livid at Orochimaru's taunts. Kabuto had believed he could take on the enraged jinchuuriki but had been instantly knocked back. Because of that, Sakura had been hit and knocked unconscious. The bridge had been destroyed. The medic had almost fallen to her death. Luckily, the captain had saved her, no thanks to Sai. The pale ninja had taken off, following Orochimaru and Naruto. Of course, a fight had ensued, ending with Naruto returning to his team's side, looking as though he was his Bijuu. Mayu had the bright idea to try to stop Naruto's rampage by herself. How stupid she had been. Her teammate hadn't been able to recognize her and had lashed out because of it. Yamato had saved her from critical injuries. A graze to her side would not put her out of commission. Fortunately. Still, it hurt like a bitch.

"Note to self… Four-tailed Naruto is equivalent to my surrogate mother when it's that time of the month," Mayu thought, wincing. Sakura took her hand away from the injury. With Yamato's super cool jutsu, he was able to remove the chakra covering Naruto's body and return him to his natural form. The kunoichi hastily stood up as the captain carried her teammate over. His skin was completely red. By this time, Kabuto had long since disappeared. Good. He talked too much anyway. Mayu held her side as Sakura began to heal Naruto.

"His body is severely damaged," she stated. Both hands were pressed against the shinobi's chest. Green chakra emitted from them. Naruto groaned as the healing process took place. Sakura lowered her eyelids as she continued to heal him. Gradually, his skin began to return to normal. "Excuse me, but… what is he?" Yamato and Mayu exchanged a look. "I always knew that Naruto wasn't... normal, but this… How come this happened?" Her two comrades remained silent. "Answer me! I may not be on his team now, but I was a part of Team 7 before! I deserve to know!"

"Sakura…" Yamato began. He sighed heavily. "Inside Naruto's body… lies a demon—the Nine-tailed fox demon." The medic gasped. She turned startled green eyes back to the person she was healing. "The Fourth failed in killing the beast when it attacked our village fifteen years ago. Instead, he sealed the demon in a newborn child. That child was Naruto."

"He is the jailer of the beast," Mayu put in. "Don't you dare confuse that with him being the beast."

"I… I wasn't!" Sakura exclaimed. She frowned, showing a fierce gaze to the kunoichi. Mayu returned the frown. "Anyway, Captain Yamato." She settled a softer gaze on the leader of the squad. "That jutsu you used… It can control that horrifying chakra. Could you teach it to anyone else? Since its Naruto, something like this is bound to happen again. His teammates need to know how to stop him."

"That is impossible," he replied. "I am the only one alive that is able to use that jutsu. I'm sure you've noticed, but wood element jutsu isn't a common thing. The First Hokage was known for it, though. My DNA allows me to use the ability, though I'm not related to him. The ability to suppress the chakra of the Kyuubi by force… I'm the only one that can achieve that."

"I see…"

After another minute, Naruto released a groan. His skin had completely returned to normal. He sat up, appearing a bit dazed. Finally, he focused on the one that had healed him. "Sa… Sakura-chan…?" he murmured. "What happened? The last thing I remember is… attacking Orochimaru." A hand appeared in front of his face. "M-Mayu…?" The blond took her hand and was lifted off the ground. Unceremoniously, she cuffed the back of his head. "Ugh…! Mayu, what the hell was that for?!"

"How many times do I have to tell you to keep your anger in check, huh?!" The shout from the kunoichi cause the blonde's body to freeze. "Because of you, Sakura and I could have died!"

"Wh-What?" Naruto stammered out.

"Mayu!" Sakura tried to get the kunoichi to stop. However, the dark-haired girl didn't listen. She pointed a finger at the destroyed bridge. Slowly, Naruto examined the damaged, and then looked back to Mayu for an explanation.

"You did that! Sakura almost fell because you can't control your anger! Not only that, but you caused so much destruction while you were fighting Orochimaru!" the kunoichi went on. "You can't remember anything, can you? While you were 'out,' you even attacked me! Your own teammate!" Naruto's lips parted in shocked. He blinked several times before it dawned on him. The shinobi bowed his head, ashamed. It had happened again. "How are you going to save anyone in that state, huh?! Idiot!"

"Mayu, quit it!" Sakura demanded. "You don't have to-!"

Again, her attempts to defuse the situation were ignored. The kunoichi walked forward, and then clamped a hand down on Naruto's shoulder. "What's the point in having all that power if you can't control it?" she asked. Hesitantly, the blond looked up to meet her gaze. "Naruto…" Her expression softened. "You also hurt yourself by going into a rage. It took such a long time to heal you. Do you realize how scared I was? You're my future Hokage."

"Mayu…" Well, now he just felt horribly guilty. Even more so when his teammate hugged him. "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize! Just… be careful, okay? I know you're emotional about this mission. I know how much Uchiha Sasuke means to you. He's so close and you've become desperate. But becoming so angry just because someone says something you disagree with rarely helps the situation," Mayu told him. "If something... horrible happens... just what am I supposed to do without you?"

"Hm…" Naruto nodded his head and returned the hug. Finally, the kunoichi released him. "Still, sorry about that. I'll try to control myself in the future."

"What type of relationship…?" Sakura thought. Then she glanced around, observing her surroundings. "Wait… Where's Sai?" she asked aloud.

After quite some time, due to the team having to stop because of Mayu's injury, the four ninja had reached Orochimaru's hideout. They were currently in a tunnel. However, they had come across a dead end. Yamato turned to the younger ninja, placing his hand on the obstacle in front of them. "Just like I thought," he remarked. "Their hideout is surrounded by rock." Naruto stated that he could easily bust through with his Rasengan. Sakura was quick to dismiss that idea since it would cause too much noise. "Don't worry. I'll still get in," Yamato went on. His hand transformed into wood and pressed against the rock. "For this type of hard rock… if you apply just a bit of force to a small crack…" Surprisingly, his transformed hand made an opening with little to no noise. He went through the opening first, and then Sakura. Naruto and Mayu followed.

"Well, at least the infiltration was successful," Sakura commented, glancing around the area. The interior of the hideout was filled with corridors, which were dimly lit by candlelight.

"We'll look for Sai first," Yamato stated. After a moment of silence, the captain spoke again. "He's this way." His three subordinates nodded and followed their leader. Mayu couldn't help the frown that crossed her face. Sai had abandoned Team 7 in favor of speaking with Orochimaru. The others seemed to be convinced that he was a traitor because of his actions. Labeling him as a traitor seemed to be the obvious choice—the only choice. However, something was bugging Mayu. Before they had found the location of the hideout, she had picked up an item belonging to Sai. The pale ninja must have dropped it without realizing. When the team had stopped to rest, Mayu, bored, had looked at the picture book. It might not have seemed relevant to the others, but there was something about it. Why would Sai, self-proclaimed emotionless person, hold onto something sentimental?

It seemed Sai had a strong bond with his brother, she had guessed. In addition, there was the fact that Sai had called Uchiha Sasuke a traitor. Why would he turn around and become the traitor himself? He could have been just playing a role, but that seemed unlikely. A guy like him wouldn't change sides so abruptly. This had to be planned from the start. But by Sai himself…? Mayu narrowed her eyes as Yamato stopped in front of a door. The older ninja extended his index finger. It shifted into wood. He stuck his finger in the keyhole. After a few seconds, the lock was turned. Yamato pushed open the door. "So, you were here?" The captain stepped into the room with the others trailing behind him.

Sai turned towards the group and smiled. "Nothing less from the Hokage's personal ANBU," he remarked. "I see that the corpse didn't fool you one bit."

"You...!" Naruto shouted. He, of course, grabbed Sai's shirt, almost lifting his fellow ninja off the ground. "Why did you betray us?!"

"Keep quiet," he replied. "It'll mean trouble if you keep shouting."

"You bastard!"

"Naruto! Calm yourself!" Sakura scolded. The blond roughly released Sai with an irritated scoff.

"Since we've caught you like this," Mayu began, stepping forward. She stood right in front of the pale shinobi. "You should tell us what this is all about. Are you following someone else's orders—someone from the Leaf village?"

"Danzo…?" Yamato asked. "He's plotting with Orochimaru, and you were chosen as the go-between, right? A new 'Crush the Leaf' plan, is it?" For a moment, Sai did not speak. Then, he smiled. The pale ninja was about to give an explanation, but Naruto cut him off, telling him that they all knew he was lying, and the fake smile wouldn't work.

"I suppose since I've been discovered that my mission is a failure," Sai spoke again. "I can't finish you all off by myself. And since you've figured out this much, there's no point in lying." He finally lost his false smile. "Just as you said, we are going to destroy the Leaf village as it exists today." From there, he went into detail of exactly what his mission was. He was to inform Orochimaru, and act as a spy for Danzo. He told them that Sai was not his real name and that he was merely following orders. If the mission was successful, why should he be concerned with the outcome? To him, he was nothing more than Danzo's tool.

"I see," Mayu said. She reached behind her and dug around in her back pouch. She pulled Sai's picture book out and showed it to the pale shinobi. It was slight, but he did react to seeing the book. "Then, how about I just destroy this thing? Tools don't have brothers. It is your brother, right? Tools—they certainly don't hold on to useless things like its precious. In that case, burning it shouldn't be a problem. I know a jutsu that will completely remove its existence. It would only take a second. Should I show off my fire jutsu?"

"NO!"

To everyone's surprise, Sai had shouted and tried to grab the book. Mayu held it out of his reach, though. "Eh…? Did the tool just get a bit angry? You felt, didn't you?" she questioned with a smirk. Sai's eyes widened, and then his arm returned to his side. "You don't want me to destroy this because it is the physical proof that you shared a bond with your brother, right?"

"Bond…?" Sai repeated.

"Of course," Mayu replied with a nod. "Naruto and I… We know how you feel for we lost our 'brothers' too, and the only thing we have left of that bond is a picture—just like you. I'm sure that if someone were to threaten our pictures, we would react in the same manner you did." Behind her, Naruto lowered his head. Finally, the kunoichi put her arm down. Her gaze lowered, focusing on the picture book. "Sasuke is… Itachi is… Your brother is…" She held the book out to Sai. "No matter the circumstance, they are the bonds they we can't forget—that we can't let go of. Sai-chan…" His eyes shifted from the book to her. "I don't care what your mission is, but don't you dare call yourself a tool in front of me again. Got it?" Sai only stared. "I said do you got it?" She waved the book at him. The pale ninja grasped the picture book, prompting Mayu to release it.

"Hm," Sai nodded his head.

"Good," the kunoichi grinned, taking another step towards Sai. She leaned forward and kissed his nose. "You need some new bonds anyway, Sai-chan."

"Mayu! What the hell are you doing?!" both Naruto and Sakura exclaimed in sync. Sai blinked, and then lightly touched the tip of his nose. Yamato sighed.

"Tough break, Sai. You'll have to stay here while my clone watches you," the captain of the squad stated. He, as well as the others, surrounded the restrained ninja. Sai sat on the ground with his arms bound to his sides. He didn't speak. The team was currently outside the hideout, preparing to reenter after leaving Sai here. The location was deemed safe enough. "We'll come back for you, of course." Naruto suddenly hit his fist against his own palm.

"Alright! Let's finish this up and bring Sasuke home!" he loudly exclaimed.

"You should give that up," Sai advised. With a glare, Naruto turned his focus back on the pale ninja. "I have met with Sasuke-kun. He is always with Orochimaru. In other words, you'd have to fight him again. If you pursue him, you will be ripped apart and used for experiments. Also, it was obvious to me. Sasuke-kun no longer cares about you. Mayu-san has stated that you feel as though Sasuke-kun is your brother. However, he doesn't feel the same. Even I can see that. You go so far for him, even at the risk of being used by Orochimaru. Why?"

"… You know," Naruto started. "Back in the day, I used to hate Sasuke. Mayu said that, too, didn't she?" He grinned. "But the time we all spent together was the most fun I had ever had. He… and Mayu acknowledged me more than anyone else. He's my friend—someone I was finally able to form a bond with. I grew together with him and Mayu. It was through him that I gained other friendships. So, I'm going to bring him back. You don't understand, but Sasuke needs to be saved. And no matter what Orochimaru may do, I'm going to bring my best friend home. I'd say he's had enough time playing around with our enemy." Mayu furrowed her brow, mildly curious about his last sentence. "Nothing and no one will stop me from bringing Sasuke back!" Sai blinked and said nothing more.

"Well then…" Yamato broke the silence that followed. "I'll make-"

"Everyone, get back!" Mayu suddenly shouted, jumping away. As ordered, the others leapt away as well. Less than a split second later, multiple kunai embedded into the ground where they once stood. Sai, momentarily, appeared shocked by the purple-clad ninja's arrival. The man stood in front of him. Mayu scowled, suddenly irritated. "I thought I smelled something rancid. Kabuto." He smirked and mockingly bowed. Ignoring the glares, Kabuto glanced back at Sai.

"Judging from the situation, I suppose that means you were captured," he said. Kabuto quickly cut the wood restraining Sai. He had used his chakra scalpel. Naruto growled the glasses-wearing man's name though clenched teeth. "Since it doesn't seem you've betrayed us… I'll trust you… for now." Sai stood up as Kabuto returned his attention to the others. "You're obstinate, I'll give you that. Going after a person who doesn't want to be bothered by you is foolish, Naruto-kun. I pity you. Sasuke-kun is not the same." Kabuto smirked. "People change over time, you know."

Without warning, Sai twisted Kabuto's wrist, and then slammed him against the ground. Holding his arm away from the enemy's body, the pale ninja stepped on the bespectacled man's back. Kabuto appeared as stunned as his enemies did. "People change," Sai repeated. "You say that, but there are also things that don't change."

"Sai-chan…!" Mayu blinked once, and then grinned.

"Bonds. By just observing Naruto-kun and Mayu-san—watching them interact, watching them defend and help one another—I can see that their bond is strong," Sai continued. "I want to see the bond between Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun. Since Naruto-kun is so determined, would it be stronger—their bond between brothers?"

"Sai," Naruto let a tiny smile cross his face.

"Hey, hold him like that," Yamato walked forward. Wood quickly wrapped around Kabuto's body. Naruto, Sakura, and Mayu walked over as well. Sai glanced in their direction.

"I want to see more of your interactions," he stated. "Maybe by watching you, I might be able to remember…" Kabuto chuckled.

"How very amusing…" he muttered. "You don't know the real Sasuke-kun. It's too funny not to laugh." To emphasize his point, Kabuto laughed again. The smirk remained on his face even after his chuckles subsided. "Just so you can see for yourself, I'll give you some information. Sasuke-kun, by now, is finished training and is resting in his room. There are many rooms, though, strewn throughout the lair. If you end up looking in each as you go, you might find him." Apparently, Kabuto could not stop his fit of giggles. "Careful, though… You might disturb the wrong bush and have a snake-" A kick to the face was successful in not only cutting off Kabuto's sentence, but it also knocked him unconscious.

"Ma-Mayu…!" Sakura shouted.

"I'm sorry, but all I heard was 'Kick me, Mayu! Come on, hit me! Gosh, I just want to take a hard one to the face!' He. Wasn't. Helping." Mayu crossed her arms. "Can we go now?" Her comrades merely stared at her. "What?" she asked, appearing baffled.

"We'll split into three teams to search for Sasuke," Yamato stated once they were deep inside the hideout. "Sai and Naruto. Sakura and I. Mayu and her summon will also form a team." The dark-haired girl nodded and quickly summoned her feline partner. She hopped off Nana's back as the captain held out his palm. There were two seed-like items for all to see. "It's imperative that you take one now, Mayu. You, too, Sai." The kunoichi grimaced and rolled her eyes before snatching the seed from her captain's hand. She made a bit of a fuss about eating one before they entered the lair the first time when Sai wasn't there with them. She couldn't help it. One of his clones had transformed into the seed. What was she supposed to think after witnessing something like that?

Frowning, the kunoichi swallowed. Sai took one as well as Yamato explained that it was his way of tracking his subordinates. All they needed to do was mold their chakra and his team would come running. After nodding in understanding, the teams set out. While Yamato and Sakura headed one way, Naruto and Sai went the other way, leaving Mayu and Nana. The kunoichi sighed as she scratched her feline partner under the chin. "I suppose we should head out, too, Nana." The black leopard snorted, and then prodded her mistress at her stomach, near her torn fabric and marred bruised flesh. "Ah, you noticed, did you? Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's go, Nana. Stealth is what we're going with."

The kunoichi took off down the same hallway as Naruto and Sai. Her nose twitched as she ran. The two shinobi had gone right once the path split. She would go left in that case. Eventually, one of the teams would come across either Sasuke or Orochimaru. Hopefully, the others weren't thinking of only Sasuke and just barging into random rooms. Who was she kidding? Of course they were thinking of only the Uchiha and not his mentor. With any luck, they wouldn't come across the snake Sannin in their frantic search.

After about twenty minutes, Mayu had become annoyed. As terrifying as it was to open each door, it was taking excessively long to come across someone. Now, the kunoichi wanted nothing more than to punch something. "Enough already! Why can't the bastard come to me?" Another door slammed shut in her frustration. It was the last door on this floor, but Mayu was sure there were several more floors. She nearly stomped down the stairs with her arms crossed under her chest. "Don't look at me like that, Nana! This really is… troublesome! The first chance I get, I'm going to make sure he's in pure agony—making me search for him like this!"

Mayu halted once she reached the bottom of the steps. This floor was different from the others. For one, the hallway was lit by artificial light, giving the dark hall a hint of blue. Two, there was only one door, and it was located at the end of the corridor. Her brow knitted. Was this the right place? From the show, she remembered that Uchiha Sasuke tended to isolate himself. Slowly, she walked forward. It would be easier for everyone if she had found him first. Otherwise, a fight would break out. With her abilities, that most likely wouldn't happen.

Finally, she reached the door. She turned the knob as silently as she could before pushing the door open. The room was small and lit in the same fashion as the hallway. The kunoichi stepped further into the room, examining its contents. Vials, test tubes, and other things that a lab would have were in plain sight. "So, this is a lab?" she thought. Mayu ventured further, coming across the last desk. Unlike the others, it was completely bare. However, it did have drawers. Upon opening them, she discovered notepads and glass vials filled with yellow liquid. There was also dark purple liquid as well. She picked up a vial and thoroughly looked at it. It wasn't just a vial; it was an injection type. The top could be taken off, which would reveal the needle. The others were like that as well.

The kunoichi couldn't begin to imagine what type of injections these were. However, someone in the Leaf could possibly know. She slipped two of each—purple and yellow—into her back pouch. Then she eyed the notepads. Perhaps something inside could give some type of clue. She picked the first one up and opened it. Her eyes scanned over the words. A gasp escaped her lips once she realized exactly what she was reading. "Nana, I found the jackpot!" Mayu exclaimed. The large feline snorted again. She had been guarding the door. "But… I wonder why… Something like this would normally be under tight security." Orochimaru's research methods. Primarily focused on Uchiha Sasuke's development but there was other information as well. Hurriedly, she picked up the rest of the small notepads before stuffing them into her back pouch. They would definitely come in handy. Mayu turned back and headed for the door, after she closed the drawers back. Since it was only three of them, and the chance of finding one of their hideouts is slim, Orochimaru probably believed that security wasn't needed.

Suddenly, the entire place shook to the point that Mayu almost fell. It continued for a few moments before coming to an end. An earthquake…? The kunoichi narrowed her eyes. Not likely. The others must have found one of the enemies. "Nana!" Mayu jumped on her partner's back. "We're tracking Yamato! Now!" The black leopard roared in compliance, and then dashed away, heading for the stairs. Within a few minutes, because of Nana's speed, the two were able to find the rest of the team, minus Sai. They were heading in the direction the blast came from, according to the captain. As they ran, Yamato explained the situation. It had been Sai's mission to kill Sasuke all along. Everything else he had mentioned was a ploy for both Orochimaru and the team. Afterwards, the group traveled in silence for the most part. Only the sounds of their shoes hitting the floor were heard. Racing though the many passages and feeling suddenly anxious, Mayu's grip on her partner tightened.

At last, Yamato came to a stop, causing the others to do the same. At the end of the passageway, there was a bright light. From the looks of it, it came from outside. Without warning, Sakura took off towards the end. Yamato called out to her, but she did not stop. Mayu enhanced her vision with a bit of chakra. "I see now…" she thought. Sakura had spotted Sai. "She must still feel for Sasuke and is angry that her supposed comrade is trying to kill her crush." With a mental sigh, the kunoichi frowned. "To think I thought she had grown out of it." She watched as the pink-haired medic yelled at Sai. However, she abruptly stopped for some reason. Now both were staring up. "I can't hear…" Mayu muttered.

Then Naruto took off without a word. He tripped and fell, but hastily began to run again. Once he had reached Sakura and Sai, he, too, had become frozen and looking up as well. "I see…" Yamato mumbled. "They found him. Uchiha Sasuke." His dark eyes glanced in Mayu's direction. "Mayu, I'm sure those two had lost their reason by now."

"That's what it looks like."

"Can I count on you?"

"Of course, captain!"

"Alright. I'm going."

She watched the leader run forward, only to stop just before he stepped out into the light. She sighed heavily. If this was anything like part one, then there was going to be long conversation instead of fighting right off the bat. "Nana-chan…" The corner of her lips twitched. "You can go as slow as you want to." The large cat craned its neck to look incredulous at the rider. "No, no," she reassured, waving her hand back and forth in front of her face. "No one is gonna be in danger this soon." Nana snorted lightly, and then walked forward, towards the gaping hole. "But I wonder…" Mayu thought. "Has he gotten worse? Will words not reach him at this point no matter what?" If that was the case, then Naruto and Sakura would just have to accept the fact that Uchiha would have to be put down. Most likely, they wouldn't be the ones who would deal the finishing blow because of their attachment.

Mayu, though, had no such attachment.

The kunoichi silently slipped off her partner's back after instructing the feline to stop and remain in the shadows. Mayu pressed her back against the wall, and then peeked from around the corner. There he was. Uchiha Sasuke. He was standing at the edge of the large crater. Had he been the one to make it? She didn't think Sai had destructive power. Mayu returned her back against the wall. She sighed inaudibly. This could be tougher than she thought. For this to work, she would need full concentration and the enemy focusing solely on her. She had practiced with animals, as she was instructed to do, but this was a human. It could prove to be tougher than what she was expecting. A smirk touched her face. Oh well. There were few things she feared. Fighting was not one of them. The addition of mental capabilities was just a bonus.

They were still talking. Well, Sasuke was talking—something about how much he hated his brother. No surprise there. Mayu pushed herself from the wall. No better time to make her entrance. Blue eyes glanced at the feline before stepping out into the light. The sun's rays messed with her eyes quite a bit. She had stayed in the dark for too long and now she was nearly blinded. Finally, her vision adjusted to the natural light and her gaze settled on the figure at the top of the crater. He seemed to regard her with mild curiosity. Even someone as impassive as he would be taken aback at the sight of her skin. Probably. She was only guessing. From this vantage point, Mayu could see that he had grown taller. He wore a white long-sleeved shirt, which was open at the torso. Dark blue pants with a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees is what covered his lower half. He also wore a purple rope belt around his waist, tied in a bow. That is where he carried a sword.

"Ugly," she said. Everyone sharply turned their heads towards her. "What an ugly ass outfit. He looks like he has man boobs."

"Hey! Don't talk about Sasuke-kun like that!" Sakura shouted. Mayu had only glanced at the pink-haired medic. It was a quick glance, too. But suddenly he was in front of her. His feet touched the ground, barely making a sound. With him being so close, she realized that he was definitely taller. Mayu, herself, was 162 centimeters. He appeared to be taller than Naruto, so maybe Sasuke had grown to 167 centimeters. Well, that didn't matter.

"Light. Fast. Swordsman," Mayu observed. "A short-ranged fighter, then…?"

"You…" He spoke.

"Uchiha Sasuke…" For some reason, her insides trembled. Could it be that she was excited to fight an opponent such as this? His dark eyes narrowed. His lips moved again, wanting to know her identity. "Me?" Mayu smirked. "I am Haruno Sakura's replacement on Team Kakashi. I suppose I am your transporter… or your executioner. Whichever you prefer. I hope you're prepared. You're coming back to the Leaf. Whether it be walking or in a body bag… now, that's up to you." He looked bored with her statements. "Underestimate me, and you're going to regret it."

"Is that so…?" Sasuke questioned. His brow cocked up. To her surprise, Mayu noted a faint smile on his face. "Then… Amuse me, replacement."
