Maro's Pov
Ino motioned to herself. "I'm Ino." she said. I sighed. "I can speak." I said. "Then why don't you." Konan asked. " I don't speak well." I replied. "Well listen to everyone here and you'll learn enough." Ino declared. I smiled. "Alright." I said.
Sasori's POV
"Wait. You're assigning her to me?" I asked. "Yep." Pein replied. "Why?" I nearly yelled. I'd gotten use to the fact that Ino and Deidara were a team and I was partnerless. "You found her and brought her here. Why not you?" Pein asked. 'I can think of a few reasons.' I bit my lip. "Fine. But any mistakes and you don't blame me. Got it?" "Yes,yes. No shoo. Loserville is that way." Pein said. Angrily,I turned and left his office. Only when I was far from his office did I realize I hadn't asked what we were assigned to do. "Dang it." I hissed not wanting to go back. I turned and nearly bumped into Maro. " Hello Sasori-sama." she greeted. I nodded in response. "Wait by the door. I have to see Pein." I told her.
Regular POV
"Dang it! I can't believe even Naruto couldn't catch her." Kiba growled. Shikamaru and Shino listened to him grumble. "Listen. Maybe this is something that needs to be taken slowly. Man Kiba you're acting like Naruto use to." Shikamaru sighed. "Say that again! I dare you!" Kiba yelled. Shino held him back. "He's right Kiba. For right now we need to focus on patrolling the perimeter of the village. Naruto's team will handle it." he said. Kiba nodded. "Alright but you keep your mouth shut." he ordered pointing to Shikamaru. Shikamaru held up his hands innocently. "Who me?" he asked.
Maro's POV
I watched the scenery as we passed it. Never had I seen such a large market. My old village didn't have one. I think. "Maro . I meant to ask. Where are you from?" Sasori asked. I pointed at the sky. "The man who took care of me said I fell from the sky. He didn't know much else." I replied. Sasori glanced back. " An orphan then? Heh." he laughed. "So.. what are we suppose to do?" I asked. "We're just picking up a simple package..." he said. "Phew." I whispered. "In Konoha." Sasori finished. He laughed at my expression. "Why so scared?" he asked. I shook my head. "No reason. It's just.." I trailed off,remembering the invasion. Suddenly my wolf ears popped out. "What is it?" Sasori asked. My eyes narrowed as I caught a scent. "Kyuubi." I whispered as a large nine-tailed fox with nine tails emerged from the woods with two other shinobi. Sasori grabbed my wrist and pulled me behind him as we ran.
Regular POV
Kyuubi smiled as he ran through the dense forest. 'Don't hurt her!" Naruto practically screamed. 'Why not?' Kyuubi asked as he caught sight of the girl. She was slowly being surrounded by purple chakra. " Prepare yourselves." he warned Kakashi and Sakura. They both nodded. Kyuubi lost sight of the girl at that second. He stopped and sniffed the air. 'Darn girl. Slier than any fox I know.' "Kyuubi! Watch out!" Sakura yelled. Kyuubi turned as a large wolf tackled him. Sakura ran forward to help when Ino stepped in her path. "A little close to Akatsuki territory aren't you? Sakura?" she said. "Didn't you learn anything last time?" she asked. Sakura took a defensive stance. "Let's go." she said."Kakashi-sensi. Go find the Akatsuki member. I'm fine here." she said to Kakashi. He nodded and took off into the trees.
Sasori's POV
I watched Maro and Kyuubi go at each other's throats. 'Amazing.'
One of the Konaha ninjas stepped from the trees. He held up his hands in peace. "I'm only here to warn you." "About what?" I asked. He gestured towards Maro. "She and some of Orochimaru's other puppets raided the Leaf Village. The girl is dangerous and needs to be put into the Maximum Security Prison." he declared. "Trust me. I can handle her." I said. The shinobi shook his head. "I don't have time for this." he said. Kyuubi brushed past us at that moment and the shinobi grabbed his coat, escaping quickly. "Interesting." I said as Ino joined me. "Nice work Donna." she said. Maro,still in her wolf form, layed down in front of us. The area over her eye was bleeding. Ino took a step towards her. When she did, Maro prepared to pounce,snarling. "Whoa now!" Ino squealed. I stepped forward. "Come on Maro." I ordered. "Maybe it would work better if you were a little nicer." Ino and I turned. Orochimaru and Kabuto stood in one of the trees. "I'll be taking Maro home now. If you don't mind." Orochimaru said.
