CHAPTER NINETEEN: Wild Child.

"Where do you think they are keeping Hinata and Ino?" Naruto asked anxiously, his arm draped over Sasuke's shoulder. They were limping down the hallways, looking into every cell. Naruto was still trying to get control of his body, and it was clear that he wouldn't be able to hold back Kyuubi for long, but at least it was giving his body a second chance.

"I remember two turns." Sasuke replied. They took two right turns and Naruto couldn't believe how many cells there were. "This must be some old prison."

"Maybe." Narut grunted. They stopped for awhile to catch their breath and quickly started again. When they checked all the cells, there was one left at the far end. Sure enough, two bodies were huddled inside.

Sasuke set Naruto on the ground and checked the lock on the door. It was old and rusted. Thank goodness for cheap lairs.

He found a broken pipe near the wall and wedged it into the small lock, before slamming it down. The lock gave a pained squeal before it snapped at the pieces clattered to the floor. Sasuke grabbed Naruto and slammed the door open. Ino and Hinata stared with wide eyes at the two boys, as if they were angels in human clothing. Tears fell from Hinata's eyes and she began to sob uncontrollably when Naruto pulled her into his arms.

"It's me." Naruto cooed. "It's me, I'm sorry. That wasn't me before."

Hinata left kisses all over his cheeks in a terrified frenzy. She looked hysterical as she clutched Naruto to her.

"I know!" Hinata sobbed. "I know."

Sasuke made quick work of their chains using his fireball jutsu and Ino stood up with two hand cuffs hanging from her rists. At least they weren't chained to the wall. She spun her rists and the chains wrapped tightling around them. Out of all of them, she looked the least for ware. In fact, despite her bloody mouth, she looked perfect.

"Let's go." Ino said, but she was stopped by a firm hand on her bicep. Sasuke was staring directly into her eyes with his sharingan, that thing always made her nervous.

"Whatever you think, that was Mayu." Sasuke hissed, as much to Ino as to Hinata as well. "She was being controlled."

"I know!" Ino retored, surprising Sasuke and Naruto. "My family specializes in mind control, OK? I knew she was controled the second I saw her."

"Then tell me, can you break it?" Sasuke asked. Ino shook her head.

"No one can break it but Mayu." Ino answered, wretching her arm from his grasp.

"If I can do it, so can Mayu." Naruto murmured. "I know she can."

Kakashi watched with a glare at what was happening. Kais was making something on the ground, a type of circle, with Mayu standing perfectly still in the center. Whatever Kais was trying to do, Kakashi knew it wouldn't be good.

From the looks of the circle, it would apply to a jutsu of some kind, but Kakashi couldn't be too sure. This circed looked different then some of the large jutsu's Kakashi had seen in his time.

Pakun nudged Kakashi's leg and they climbed down from the trees as silently as possible and made their way to wear Sakura sat prepairing their things. They had a plan, but none of them knew if it would work or not. There was no telling what would happen if Mayu was there. She had the advantage of ready their futures and so she always knew what was going to happen. How did you beat someone like that?

"I'm not sure how well this will work." Kakashi said uneasily, glancing at the two standing near him. Sakura stretched to her feet and her eyebrows set into a scowl of determination.

"It doesn't matter." Sakura said. "We're going to get them back."

But going into battle with fury was the worst thing someone could do.

Mayu couldn't feel anything. Her body wouldn't respond, no matter how hard she tried. When she looked backwards in her life, much of it was spent with this same feeling, but back then it had been a comfort. This way, she couldn't blame herself for all the deaths, but Kais who was controlling her. It was he who willed her to do those things, not her own will.

Though back then, she'd never fought it as much as she had at that moment, when her feet unsteadily walked onto the circle. She knew exactly what it was. Kais had tried this once before, when she was only three years old, but it had all gone south when Kyuubi was sealed away. The entire thing depended on Kyuubi being there and alive.

Kais looked up at the sun, which was just above their heads. Noon. Already Mayu had been there an entire day, and by the looks of how things were going, she'd be trapped there for the rest of her life.

"The boy's body should be close to death by now." Kais inquired, glancing at the shivering Mayu. A look of fake pitty crossed his features and he approached Mayu, clutching her chin. A bead of sweat fell down her temple, though her expressions reamained the same. "Don't tell me you actually care about those ingrates."

Mayu couldn't move her lips, even though her entire being screamed for Kais to die. When she was a child she'd thought it was okay to be controlled by Kais. It meant he was making it easier for her. She didn't have to kill the people on her own, she just had to bear it and watch. Which she'd thought was much better then killing them of her own will. But now, she saw her error. It wasn't alright.

When she was being controlled, she didn't have any choice. All those people she had killed didn't have to die, and if she had been in controll they would still be alive. Kais was using her, dramtically.

"Regardless, this will happen." Kais sighed and lifted a hand to Mayu's shoulder, where he pulled down her torn sleeve and reveiled a tatoo. It swirled and wirled all over her shoulder an dipped down onto her chest. Sasuke had asked about it many times, wondering what it meant, but Mayu hadn't been able to remember. Now she did. It was the mark that bound her to Kais. "I didn't want to do this, because it puts enourmous amounts of strain on your body, but witnessnig that episode you had with the orange boy last night, I've deemed it nessicary."

Mayu felt tears well in her eyes. She knew what he was doing. The last time this happened the pain had been excrutiating. She didn't want this again.

No. Mayu sobbed to herself. Whenever he did this, she lost herself and was drowned in his thoughts.

"When you were born, it was the happiest day of my life." Kais murmured, stroking Mayu's cheek as he place a hand above the seal in the center of the tatoo. It rested just on the tip of the colar bone. Mayu winced inside herself, thought outwardly she stayed the same. "I thought I might cry when your tiny hands gripped mine so tightly...I knew from that instant that you would grow up strong. Which is why I have to do this. I worked so hard to get where I am today, and I won't let this chance escape. I will win."

At the last word that left his lips, his fingers cletnched and the entire tatoo flared red and Mayu left out such a scream that for a moment, she escaped his mind powers and she screamed. Tears exploded from her eyes and she howled to the sky, her bright red and blue eyes twisted with pain. The tatoo bended and twisted and grew, the seal growing bigger until it covered her entire shoulder.

Finally, it was over. The burning pain ceased and became no less then a dull throb and Mayu collasped on the ground face first, her cheek slamming against a pebble and cutting slightly, but she couldn't move. Her entire body was numb and her eyes dulled. She was trapped.

"Father." Mayu rasped from where she lay. It hurts.

"I know Kandara." Kais cooed, petting her sweating head. "It's alright now, daddy's here."

It hurts, deep in my heart...

Bwahahah, I've completed Chapter 19. I guess you can see why I hated the last chapter. I love my character, and she seemed a little mean. But it's okay now!

It's fathers day today, and we got my dad cake, so I'm get to eat goooooooddd. :D

Review people.
