CHAPTER SIXTEEN: This Feeling.

"How can she not have a scent?" Ino cried in anguish, grabbing her hair. They were all worried and bothered now. Pakun had just confirmed that there was someone with the boys, but it wasn't female. They didn't understand. also, Pakun couldn't smell anything but Naruto and Sasuke on Mayu's ribbon, along with Sakura. But that was understandable since those three had touched it.

"Maybe Mayu just didn't wear it?" Hinata murmured.

"No, I've seen her wear it to training." Kakashi sighed. "It probably has something to do with the Kogenkan."

"Kogenkan?" Pakun piped up suddenly, his ears peeking at the name. "I know that name."

"What can you tell us?" Kakashi asked suddenly, seemingly interested for once.

"I don't remember much, but I recall a story I heard once. This is all before my time." Pakun replied, dipping his head to recall the memory. Everyone hushed to listen to his story. "Kogenkan is a blood trait, the one wear all the others origonated from. It's said the users f it develop the ability as soon as they are born, and live their life with it activated. Unfortunatly, it's painful when they can't control it becasue everrything ies in the future. I heard that the blood trait didn't depend on one family, but was born to different children all over the world regardless of whether or not their parents had it.

"This was thousands of years ago, but one legend was that at the beggining of the world an unatural being saw the future and what the world he created would be like. But the visions were to horrendous for him to bare so he cast his future seeing ability to the people he had created and in doing so he died...Unfortunatly, the people didn't know what to do without their creator so they split off into separate corners of the world and began living. Kogenkan formed in their children. Eventually these places formed countries and soon wars began. It became obvious to them that the powers of Kogenkan were fading from the earth, so they created ninja. They created jutsu and suddenly blood lines began to produce, smothering the Kogenkan from exsistance. Sharingan, Byakugan, numerous blood traits formed, the Kogenkan became legend..." Pakun paused and suddenly he sat up stiffly. "They're fighting!"

Sasuke grunted in pain as he was slammed against a tree trunk, the air leaving his lungs and blood spraying from his mouth. He hadn't expected that at all. Mayu had come out of nowhere and sent him pumbling backwards. She wsa abnormally fast. She could read his movements.

"Mayu stop!" Sasuke gasped, getting to his feet. "This isn't you."

"This is Kandara." The man replied, grinning like a madman. "And I am her father Kais! Kandara, deystroy them."

"Why are you doing this?" Naruto yelled, barely dodging a kunai. He knew that it Mayu tried hard enough she could kill him, but he couldn't let that happen. He had to stop this. If he didn't...Sasuke might not be able to handle it. "What did we ever do to you?"

"It's not what you did to me." Kais explained, his dark eyes sparkling. So much different then Mayu's. "It's what you took from me."

Naruto cried out in pain as a kunai peirced his arm, sending him to the ground.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled, getting to his feet to run, but he was slammed into the tree again by Mayu. She held a kunai to his neck, her eyes unseeing. Sasuke felt his breath leave him and his body go limp. This wasn't right.

Kais chuckled as he stepped towards Naruto's crumpled form. Naruto glared up at the man defiantly, his eyes searching for an escape, a way to turn this around.

"What are you talking about?" Naruto grunted, grinding his teeth together as the pain in his arm grew with the blood that leaked out. He winced and bit his lip as he yanked the kunai from his arm and tossed it away. "What could I have taken from you?"

"The one thing in this world I truly cared for." Kais cried. Naruto glared at him but grunted in surprise when his kick met air. Kais had lept out of the way with inhuman speed. "My pet!"

"This guys craqzy!" Naruto hissed, dodging a blow that would have broken his jaw. He quickly ran a few feet away and turned to see Sasuke pinned to a tree. "Sasuke! Wake up!"

Sasuke's lidded eyes slowly fluttered open and he glanced at Naruto, then to Mayu. She looked so emotionless, so unlike the girl he knew. But he couldn't move.

"He wont move." Kais laughed harshly, his robe fluttering in the breeze. "It's a technuique only one with the Kogenkan can acomplish. It makes the one captured fall into a paralized state of fear and sadness. He's trapped, and in the perfect possision to be killed!"

Naruto glared with wide eyes. Why was this suddenly so bad?

"What's wrong with you?" Sasuke whispered, his eyes drooping. He fought the sadness that threatened to overtake him. He couldn't, he wanted to see Mayu. "Mayu, why..."

"What do you want? Who is your pet?" Naruto cried, dodging another kick. He was afraid that with one motion Kais would give the order for Mayu to kill Sasuke. He had to keep Kais as busy as possible.

"Surely you know." Kais murmured, his voice sly and errie. It sent shivers through Naruto's spine. Kais's eyes narrowed and a grin plastered to his lips once again, making him look even more evil. He spoke as he advanced. "What is it that huants your soul Naruto Uzumaki? What darkness looms inside, always there and tuanting you, giving you such emense strenght at will? What pet do you think i'm talking about Naruto! SURLEY YOU KNOW!"

Naruto felt the air leave his lungs as his body went limp with fear.

"Kyubbi..."

AHG! IT WAS SHORT AGAIN! I'm sorry, but in order for this story to work well enough, I guess a few chapters must be short.

REVEIW!
