Small alarms went off in Saikos head as a scream filled the air around them. She had been talking to the strange green haired young woman when the terrible noise filled the air around them. Everyone was quite. She, along with Muu and many other ANBU, were some of the first to react of the scene and she wasted no time running toward the cry of distress. She skidded to a stop in the hallway to find several woman on the ground huddled together around a maid who looked like she had seen a ghost. Her face was as white as snow and she looked like she was sweating bullets. She felt Muu's tall figure appear beside her along with several other ninja. Trying to catch her breath, she bent down and spoke to the young woman.
"What happened?" she asked. The woman didn't respond, she only stared back at the older red head. Tears were running down her pale cheeks and she was on the verge of panic attack. Taking her face in her hands, she forced her to look into her eyes. "Ok Hun, take a deep breath and pull yourself together." She brushed her tears away. "I'm gone ask you again. What happened?" Instead of responding she raised a shaking finger, pointing toward the washroom. She turned her head to look back at it before looking up at Muu.
"Stay here all of you." She commanded. The girl began to sob in other maids arms as saiko got up and slowly entered the hall that lead to the washroom; muu right behind her. As soon as she did opened the door, she was hit with a heavy smell of iron that made her want to gag. As soon as she entered the tiny room her hands went up to her mouth. The entire room looked like a scene from the warring states. The white walls were completely stained in blood and there was blood all over the sink and mirror. But what really made her gag reflex activate was the badly butchered body that lay face down on the floor. "Oh my god." She said, turning away to try to keep herself from emptying the contents of her stomach.
"What is it saiko?" she heard Muu call to her but she didn't answer. She couldn't. The body that lay before her looked like someone had taken an Axe to it. It appeared to be a woman from what she could see and it was obvious that she fought for her life. Saiko felt hot tears come to her green eyes. Saiko had seen dead bodies. She had been fighting in war since she was 8 years old and had killed many in her lifetime. But that didn't mean her heart didn't heart when she had to witness an innocent soul dead.
"Oh my god." Muu whispered as he came upon beside the red head. "Saiko...Who the hell is she?"
"I don't know Muu-Sama. I don't know." She responded, forcing herself to look down at the body. Muu was slightly tougher than his red head assistant; he didn't shed a tear seeing dead bodies but that didn't excuse a cold blooded murder like this from upsetting him.
"How the hell did this happen?" He stepped forward and leaned down to examine the body. He took ahold of the woman's head in an attempt to move it so they could get a better look at her but jumped back when the head snapped off its neck and rolled over to the side. Saiko let out a shriek and heaved over, emptying the contents of her stomach in the corner. Muu himself began to feel sick. "Come on Saiko." He said wrapped his arms around her waist and leading her out of the bathroom. He was greeted by the faces of conserved and afraid people. He turned to the woman who discovered the corpse. "You. Who the hell is she?"
"She is…was…a maid…..Kumiko was her name. She was my best friend…and someone murdered her in cold blood….oh dear god!" She broke down into more sobs and buried herself in someone's arms.
"But how did this happen? Didn't anyone hear a fight?! This woman fought for her life judging from the damage down." None of the maids responding indicating to him that they didn't have the answer he wanted. He let out a groan and stormed past everyone. "Saiko get everyone out here and get the medical team to clean up that body!" Yes sir! he heard her respond weakly. 'I'm sorry you had to see that Saiko-San.' He thought to himself as he made his way up the stairs toward his office. He threw his cloak to the side and plopped down in his seat to try and gather what just happened. The hidden stone was celebrating his entrance into office and before he knew it a dead body appears, in the tsuchikages tower of all places! Now instead of the villagers living happily and in peace, they were all afraid because know they had a Psycho killer on the loose. His thoughts drifted back to when he and saiko had sensed someone spying on them at the top of the stairs. He cursed at himself for not attacking immediately. A soft knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. "Enter." The door opened and saiko stepped in. Her face still pale and her eyes still looked weak. IN her hands she clutched a piece of paper. "Saiko are you alright? What is that?"
"We just got a report in….from the people who were patrolling the parameter of village. They just found another dead body floating down the river that leads into the village. He was brutally murdered….throat slashed from ear to ear." Saiko gulped back more tears. "And they got a positive identification. He was one of the elite who came from one of the clans who used the Lava Style Kekki Genkai." She handed him the paper so he could read the report written from the ninja who found him. So now they had to dead bodies? "I-" His ninja sensed kicked in and he caught Saiko before she could hit the ground. He carried her bridal style and sat her on the couch against the wall. He kneeled down beside her as he brushed the sweat away that ran down her face.
"I'm sorry Muu-Sama. I'm not normally like this. But what we just saw…."
"I know saiko. I wish nobody had to witness that." He said, his violet eyes looked to the side. "But I can't afford to lose my cool here and I vow as tsuchikage to protect you all with my life.
