Sato paced before Shiyomi's door and sighed. 'Does she really not remember me...? Is this what happened to her before? And most importantly, does it keep repeating? And why? For what reason?? Dammit, I want to help her!!' Angry with himself, he slammed his fist against the wall and flinched. 'Ok, not the smartest move there Sato, but I do feel better now.' He opened the door a little and peeked in as Tsunade sat with a sleeping Shiyomi, going over her with her chakra. 'If anyone can help her, it would be Tsunade. I just need to calm down. I shouldnt even be bothered by the fact that she doesnt remember me. So why does it hurt so...?'
Tsunade finished her evaluation of Shiyomi and was shocked by what she found. "Sato! You can come in now!" Sato all but ran into the room. "Whats the matter with her, Tsunade? Is she going to be fine?" Tsunade sighed and shook her head. "Im sorry Sato. Theres something deeply wrong with her. And its very suspicious. Someone has blocked the flow of chakra to her mind. It causes her to lose her memories periodically, but every time she does, her mind withers a little more away. If we cant fix this, she will die." Sato sank to his knees beside her bed, a look of horror on his face. "Is... isnt there anything we can do to save her?!"
Tsunade looked at him with a look of great sadness. As she was looking over Shiyomi something happened and she got all the flashbacks of her life that she had forgotten. How her family had died, and how she herself had killed them. She saw how terrible the pain was for her and how she lost her sense of self and went on a rampage, killing more than half of her village and then locking away her chakra so she could die, albeit slowly. Then she saw the figure cloaked in shadows. He sent a cold chill down her spine and she immediately wanted to kill him. He came to her then, and locked away her memories. Time and again he would send her to a seemingly random village and would release her memories. Once again, they would overtake her and she would kill evreyone, till he came and became the 'saviour' by locking her memories again. Each time that happened though, more and more of her would die inside. Its the same, even now.
"Im sorry Sato. But I believe that the only way to help this poor child, would be to kill her. We cant release the hold on her memories, nor can we stop her from dying slowly. Im afraid its the only" "No!" Sato yelled at her. "I refuse to let her die! She... she means to much to me!" He rushed to her side, and in a swirl of chakra, they were gone. "Wait, you fool!" Tsunade screamed but it was to late. They were gone. Tsunade sank into the nearest chair and rested her head for a bit but then got up again. There was no time to be lazy. "Rin! Get me an anbu team now, to meet me at headquarters! And get me Naruto-sama. Theres something we need to discuss."
The cloaked figured smirked, as he watched from Shiyomi's self what was happening in the land of the leaves. Let the fool try to save her. Let them all do as they will. After all, she was a disposable pawn in his game of cat and mouse and if she survives after her usefullness runs out, then he will just kill her himself. Or maybe he will have her do it, just as he had her kill her family all those years ago. A fitting end for such a pawn he would think. But if things keep going on as they are, he just might find another use for her, involving the Kazekage of the land of sand. Yes, that would prove most helpful. He grinned and cut off his connection with her mind.
