Small A/N: I have just recently finished the game Alice: Madness Returns, and as those of you who have played the game will notice I might have been influenced while writing this chapter. There are some (like 2 or 3)quotes within it that you may spot. Now for the quotes that conviently relate to said chapter:

Chapter 6: A Divided Mind

Yuu head rolled to the side, he felt disoriented. He couldn't recall what had happened or better yet what had really happened. He remembered standing outside the sun's invisible heating rays touching his skin. Yuu should have known better, the Veela in him had its feathers ruffling, he had felt but yet didn't. It was like a dream. Anger bubbled under his skin, he really should have known better. They had used those blasted illusion charms on him again and he like fool danced on the palms of their hands. His muscles tensed fingers starting to clench into fist, is this anger I'm feeling an illusion as well? Am I raping or being raped?

"Please stop it…Get off me…it hurts…please get it out of me!"

Bile rose in the back of his throat as he finally overcame the illusion to see a child who appeared to be no older then thirteen. Minato quickly got off the child, the little girl curled in herself crying softly. There was blood on her right there surrounding her privates and if he were to look down on him as well. He stood there shaking, something wet slid down his cheeks. Tears, he was crying. Minato backed away until he hit the wall, "I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry! I am so sorry!" He slid down the wall curling up on himself as he held his legs so tightly against his chest.

The four white walls of the room slowly started to enclose getting closer and closer. His breathing became labored; there wasn't enough air in the room. Everything was white except for her. She was naked with blood stains and bruises. Did he do that? Minato's eyes wandered to a blue green papery cloth like material lying innocently on the floor. He wanted to get up and cover the girl with it but he shaking too much and the walls were too damn close. It was like they were caving in on itself, if Minato got too close then he might send the girl into a panic or maybe he'll repeat his actions.

Minato soon realized that he himself was naked. He wanted it to wake up, maybe it would have been better if he had let himself stay in the illusion rather than fight it. For a long time he had been fighting the illusions, today was the first time he has managed to break it. This whole time had he been raping this girl? Were there more? Granger-san did I rape her too? Have they been doing things to him as well? Is this why he felt too clean when he would wake up? His stomach twisted violently as he vomited what was inside his stomach at the moment.

"You've made a messy Namikaze-san," A man with oval glasses came in, his long brown hair slicked. The light reflected off his glasses blocking the color of his eyes. Father. "I didn't think you would be able to fight the genjutsu after this long. I guess I should note this as one as a flaw but we should be able work around it," Father spoke with a jovial bounce in his voice.

Minato didn't answer but was relieved to see the open door behind Father. The walls no longer looked like they were caving in. "Now why won't you talk to me Mina-san, is it because this female wasn't pleasing?"

He didn't answer. His mind was slowly going to another plain of existence somewhere in the back of Minato's mind he heard Father say in cold tone, "Clean this place up and make sure the girl is…"

It was with that revelation that he stopped referring to himself as Namikaze Minato. Minato was too kind, too much of a father to be able handle such a situation. Minato was a leader he ruled with an iron-fist was too riddled with regrets of his past to be able to handle another regret such as this one. He was too soft-hearted. He knew eventually that Minato would be destroyed from the inside and that was not an option. Minato was needed to be level head. He was stoic minister of the Japanese Ministry and head of the Veela Clan of Japan.

Perhaps it was time for Hisagi Yuu/Iron-Head to step down and allow Minato to take over once more. He was never supposed to exist in the first place but it would seem that he will have to back off slowly. Minato has grown too attached. For moment Yuu thinks that it would have been better if he had chosen a different name. His son was the only happiness he had, he had chosen the name because it would have brought comfort and now Yuu is beginning to regret it. The attachment was having him think that he really was Yuu and that was bad.

"Kai!"

He'll let Minato handle this situation for now. Even though Yuu had taken over for most of the time he was imprisoned Minato was more then aware of Yuu's existence but there are still some things that even he isn't fully aware of. Veela's always knew in the end, some just denied it and came up with excuses like some human while others let things like Yuu keep existing until it was time to let go and accept. Minato will learn to let go and accept—he just needed a little push in the right direction.

Slowly Minato cracked his eyes open, his vision blurry before focusing once more to his surrounding. It was dark, the floor glowed a red-pinkish color below his feet; he was no longer in the white room. So the illusion-rescue and re-capture never happened, was he still under the illusion. It's so hard to tell now. Realty at times like this always seems to escape him but his instincts told another story. It really had happened but the reason for him being held down on a chair was a mystery. Perhaps their non-hostile attitudes were a trick after all. Like tiny microscopic little tendrils his magic stretched, searching for the magical core of Granger-san, he felt relief and confusion when he found Granger-san. Her magical core was different: powerful, colder, less human-like and…sadder? When had he allowed this!

Fire

Burning, searing his skin.

Charred flesh of the young ones, the burning inferno would be there graves.He needed to start Fiend-Fyre but there wasn't enough magic to allow it to happen. Granger-san could make it happen however, she was one of them therefore his.He passed out after he said the enchantment.

He never got to say his orders! How were they still alive though, they still would have died either way. The smoke was already suffocating them. So how had—Minato abruptly pulled tendrils back into him like rubber band when he felt something attempting to disrupt it. That was not a good idea he thought when shock waves of pain went through his body. He gritted his teeth, eyes shut tightly. This pain was unlike any pain he has ever felt before his entire life. Minato has snapped his magic before but the attempted disruption had caused a cut in one of the tendrils which had never happened before or a least the way it had been attempted. It seemed like a foreign object has lodge itself in the cut when he had snapped it back causing his magic to force it out or smother it, a rather painful process that lasted only two or three seconds.

Minato opened his eyes once not even phased by the fact that he currently had a kunai digging in but not breaking the skin on his neck. He is eyes roamed around the dark room; he noticed a couple of familiar faces though he wondered why they seemed familiar, did Yuu meet them first? Or had he? But it didn't, "What were you trying to do?" A well-endowed woman both demanded and interrupted his line of thoughts.

He looked at the familiar woman. Tsunade, the word whispered softly in the back of his head. "I wasn't doing anything miss," he whispered softly.

"You're lying," a bird-masked man said flatly, "We caught you; your chakra was surrounding the floor like a spider creating a trap."

"The-hen you misunderstand," Minato addressed the masked man while keeping his eyes trained on Tsunade, "I do not possess…th-he abilities you accuse…me of. Also…tha-at was…not chakra."

"What were you doing then," barked a man. He had a rough face, head covered in a metal-plated bandana with swirl like symbol in the center.

"Ibiki," Tsunade snapped at the man before turning to Minato, "I was told that you knew why you were all being held."

"Yes," Minato confirmed but said nothing more on the matter. He inwardly smirked as he saw Tsunade's eye twitch in annoyance. Wait, that wasn't right. Those eyes of hers seemed to be looking through him, calculating every single thing he did. Like some lab rat. Was he the white furry red eyed mouse now? Now? Wasn't he mouse already? I'm confused; I think I'm over thinking it. I'm confusing Tsunade for her. Why the hell was he confusing her for that gold-digger, they didn't even look alike. Minato watched as Tsunade's calculating eyes continued staring him downed until he answered her question. That was it.She was always calculating. Examining me, waiting to ensnare me in her trap, in the end she got what she wanted but I got the better end. I ruined it though didn't I? "I was supposed to be sleeping by then. The guards were speaking to each other," he somewhat lied. They didn't need to know why Minato was supposed to be "sleeping". "The words rang clearly…"

"What was it?" Tsunade whispered.

"Oh dear," Father approached him, his voice patronizing. "You know," his voice sounding so close to his ear Minato was sure he probably would have been able to feel Father's hot breath had it not been for the iron mask that covered most of his head. "That is a naughty thing to do, for that there will be some consequences."

"I don't…she's…I promise it won't hurt…don't cry…close your eyes it will be over soon…" Minato murmured softly to the sound of the startled girl, he noted the feeling of a prick on his neck.

"Please don't," the girl pleaded. The sound of her soft voice gave him indication that she was young. She sounded familiar…Hyuga-san?

"It will be over soon," he repeated groggily. His eyes felt heavy, his body numb. Minato's head lolled forward as finally gave in to sleep. Somewhere in the back of his mind Yuu sighed exasperatedly and cursed Tsunade to hell. No, he will step in. Not yet at least.

"I'm sorry Naruto."

Anger, sadness, confusion, elation and neutrality, he doesn't really know what to feel. He's angry because of what the crazy man had done to those people…his father. He ruined so many families and for what, the creation of some stupid kekkei genkai. He's sad for the fact that all he sees in his fathers' eyes are unfamiliarity, madness and hate. He's confused, isn't he supposed to be dead and inside the belly of the shinigami? He's feel elated (a word he learned from Sai of all people), his father is alive and here with him even if he is a little crazy. Neutrality, as the future Hokage he is not supposed to show what unnerves him, he can't be doing that for it will have civilians panicking over what is presumably nothing or have the council thinking he can't handle anything.

"Don't be," he finally murmured. They were in the Hokage's office; it was some ungodly hour at night. Both of them were tired and exhausted from the happenings of not just an hour before. "eh Baa-chan do you think when you finally croak over and give me your mantle, I will be able to change this boring room?"

A pen went sailing through the air smacking Naruto in face which had him flailing his arms about as he fell background to the ground only to be stopped by his head slamming against the wall. "This isn't the time to be joking around Naruto!"

Naruto stood rubbing his sore head; the floor was suddenly more interesting then looking at Tsunade, "I know but I really don't know what to do or—"

"And that's alright Naruto, there will be times when you won't know what to do or how to handle such a situation such as this one, but you will have to do something and sometimes it won't always be right."

"…" he didn't say anything right away, instead he thought about what she said. After a full thirty seconds Naruto yawned and laughed sheepishly right after, "All this fortune cookie talk is putting me to sleep. It's too late at night to be talking like an old man! Goodnight Baa-chan!" Naruto closed the door behind him just in time to dodge the sailing paperweight that chased after him. His footsteps echoed in the hallway as walked home. Perhaps tomorrow he'll know what to do.

Despite all that happened the day before Naruto slept pretty well, he had been so sure that he would have nightmare of his father talking to himself in that maddening way. Today was the first break in his hokage training in the longest time, so would rather not like thinking about that. Naruto frowned at noodle-less ramen cup filled with only its soup. Baa-chan told him not to think about the happenings at work, it wouldn't do much good but…that man. He shook his head in determination, "I won't think about it dammit!" Just as he said this someone knocked on his door.

He downed the rest of his ramen in one go before answering the door, "Naruto are you in?" Sakura's voice came from the other side of the door.

He grinned cheerfully as opened the door, "are you finally coming over for that breakfast date…oh it's you Sasuke."

"Like I'd want to eat with you dobe," Naruto scowled at the face of his best friend/rival who stood in front of him, arms crossed over his chest looking annoyed to be even standing so near Naruto. "Hn."

"Dickless, I thought it wasn't polite to leave you're guests standing by the door," Sai asked looking at little confused or maybe uncertain. Next to him Sakura stood there, the blush of embarrassment just fading away. A brow ticking in irritation, oh how she wanted to deck Naruto across the face right now.

"It is Sai," Sakura confirmed, through the years Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke (mostly just Sakura) have learned how to understand Sai's quirks. "So don't be rude Naruto and let us in."

"Since you asked Sakura, yes please enter my humble home," Naruto gestured from them to enter. Mentally Naruto was applauding himself for managing to keep his home clean, but that had to do with him barely being there. Naruto discarded that little "but" bit; he managed to keep it clean, so that's that.

"Whatever."

"Humble?"

"Thank you."

Review.

A/N: So here's another chapter of The Kekkei Genkai that has first time I think ended on a lighter side of things yay :D even if Minato is gone bonkers, which to be expected considering...Anyways Naruto is still Naruto only much more serious since he is about 23. I tried to keep just the way most people depict him as while still leaving my touch there. Sasuke is here too, and I probably won't explain the whole Orochimaru mess, so I'll just say this right now, I'm too lazy to come up with a background story for that :P This goes AU around the time Sai is introduced in canon. Hisagi Yuu or as us english speaking folk would say Yuu Hisagi (doesn't have the same ring to it does it) in a way an alter ego but not at the same time.

So meet Hisagi Yuu : crude with bitter humor at times. He gives people degratory nicknames that usually decribe said person (i.e big breasted bitch aka Tsunade, Girly-chan aka Hinata).
