fallen_angelz: Wow, this weekend was soooo much fun! Okay, since I live in South Dakota we didn�t have any �official� anime conventions. This weekend (January 23 and 24, 2010) I went to my first official anime convention in Rapid City, South Dakota since somebody was actually kind enough to set one up and made sure to thank the sponsors who were taking a chance with the whole convention! If I have any readers that actually went to SoDak Con, then you may have seen me. I was the one running around in an orange kimono that has flowers on the back, black heels with pinks flowers on them, and a headband.

E.: Dude, I was still on my �Oh my Goddess, so that�s what heaven looks like� buzz since I checked my email immediately after getting back from the anime convention. As I read your review, I was nodding slightly and thinking about how I can make this story better and a bit easier to follow. I didn�t realize some things but you were kind enough to point them out and give me your honest opinion on them. I�ll be sure to go back to those chapters and fix them eventually.

Everybody else: If there�s anything in the story that you don�t like, please don�t be afraid to point them out. I won�t get upset or anything since I love reading what you guys have to say and treasure each review.

Chapter Twenty

Sasuke Uchiha was a man of few words and enough pride to choke a horse. His pale skin brought out his dark eyes and raven colored hair, attracting the attention of the female species as well as a few members of the male species. Despite being a gifted shinobi and graduating at the top of his class, he had still walked out on Konoha and basically sold his soul to a devil named Orochimaru.

Never once since his return to Konoha did Sasuke ever claim that he wasn�t sorry. No, he was sorry and he was working his ass off just to prove that he was loyal to Konoha. Which was probably why he was willingly tearing the scabs off of old wounds.

Of course, he was being forced to go with Sai so maybe he was still being punished. Seriously, who in their right mind wanted to be stuck with such a prick for any amount of time? Well, anybody except for Sakura since she had two kids with him and had actually married him.

The Uchiha raised an eyebrow when he and Sai saw the ten year old girl standing in front of Konoha�s gates, noticing that she was wearing a light blue sundress and didn�t have any shoes on. �What are you doing here, Mahina?� Sai questioned. �You know you�re not going.�

�I know.� Mahina answered as she looked at them. �I just��

�What?�

The girl closed her eyes for a moment before looking at them again with determination burning in her eyes. �Come back soon.� Mahina said finally before taking a folded piece of paper out of her skirt pocket. �And� if you see where my parents were put, can you put this with them? I want them to know that I�m okay now and that someone�s taking good care of me.�

Sasuke took the folded piece of paper and put it in his pocket, nodding slightly to the girl. He had buried the couple himself so he knew where their bodies were. �Sure.� Sasuke said with a small nod.

�And, Sasuke?�

The Uchiha looked at the little girl for a moment before raising an eyebrow as he silently asked what she wanted. �I know they weren�t my real parents. Dad told me, but they must have cared if they were willing to try and keep Orochimaru from hurting me and maybe they�re not resting in peace cause they don�t know if I�m okay now or not. That�s why I want them to know that I�m okay now.� Mahina told him. �I don�t think that my real parents cared very much, but will you tell me if you find out otherwise and if they�re alive?�

�Sure.�

Smiling at them, the girl wandered back into the village.

There were honestly no words to describe how much he hated each one of Orochimaru�s hideouts. Even though the snake-nin had been dead and burning in Hell for the past few years, the feelings of despair and desperation still hung heavily in the air and threatened to smother anybody that walked within the horrid halls.

�Cheerful.� Sai commented lightly as he walked with the Uchiha.

�Hn.�

�Which room was Mahina generally kept in?� Sai questioned finally. �Naruto-kun had found her before calling for Sakura. I didn�t have a chance to see where she was kept.�

�Weren�t you with them when he found her?� Sasuke questioned with a frown.

�The first time I laid eyes upon Mahina, she was staring off into space while Naruto carried her.�

No wonder the girl seemed to worship the ground that the blonde walked on. He had been her savior by taking her out of this hellish environment. �That room.� Sasuke said, pointing to a room to his left.

Sai opened the door and resisted the urge to slam the door shut so he would never look at it again. Instead of the neatness that he had become accustomed to associating with Mahina, the room had been torn apart in an apparent fit of anger. Dried blood stuck to the walls and the raven couldn�t help but wonder whose blood was that. As if sensing his question, Sasuke answered patiently, �It�s hers. From what I�ve heard, he took her for the first time in this very room too. Every time she was abused in one way or another was in this room,� he paused for a moment. �Except for the experiments. Those took place in another room where the basic information might still be. That�s assuming of course Kabuto decided that it would be too risky to take anything.�

�Let�s go there.� Sai said as he closed the door.

Without saying a word, the two ravens went to the lab.

�Well, that was full of fascinating information.�

Sasuke ignored the other raven�s sarcastic remark, feeling his own frustrations. Three weeks and the only bit of information that they were able to find was that a child had been injected with Mahina�s DNA. Within two days, the child had been destroyed and Mahina had somehow managed to increase her power by the same amount as the child that had been destroyed. �We found out something important.� Sasuke told the pale man calmly. �We know that her DNA cannot be replicated without the other subject in question dying and what power they gained going to Mahina.�

�Where now?� Sai questioned.

�We�re going to talk to one of my least favorite informants.� Sasuke answered with a frown.

And there had apparently been a good reason as to why Sasuke deemed the informant his least favorite.

Sai resisted the urge to cover his nose when the scent of heavy perfume threatened to smother him and looked around the old shop with a wary eye. The only occupant was an elderly woman that was wrapped up in a blood red shawl, one of her bony fingers dipped into a bowl of water as she muttered to herself. �Take a seat.� The woman said with heavy accent and a frown. �Not good. Not good at all.�

The two ravens sat down across the table from the old woman and waited patiently until she looked at them. �We need your help, Akiya-sama.� Sasuke said calmly. �It�s regarding the Kage clan.�

The woman hissed slightly in dislike before answering with a hiss, �Why would you wish to know about that family? Humans that sold their souls. Hell�s servants!�

�One of them is residing in a village. Female, approximately ten years of age.� Sasuke told the old woman calmly. �We know that she�s from the Kage family, but we need information about them.�

�I will tell you exactly what I have told each leader of the Great Nations that has requested my advice.� Akiya said with a frown. �The Kage clan holds no loyalty to anyone other than themselves.�

�A ten year old female from the Kage clan was found four years ago when she was six years old. She currently resides in a village and we would like information to bring back.�

�For your leader or for her?� Akiya questioned. �Do your village a favor and destroy her.�

�That�s out of the question.� Sai told the old woman. �We came here to get information regarding the Kage clan and we will get it.�

Akiya smiled at him, revealing several missing teeth. Her dark eyes danced with entertainment as she looked at the man. �Very well. If your village is in the Gods� favor, you will have the right one.� Akiya said with a small chuckle as she got up.

�If not?� Sasuke questioned.

�Then your village is caring for the one that will use each of the Bijuu to destroy the world.�

fallen_angelz: *~*POLL UPDATE*~* Okay, completely disregarding my personal idea as to who Mahina�s teacher will be, here�s the update in order of personal faves: Kakashi: 3; Neji: 2; Shika: 2; Ino: 0; TenTen: 0. Okay, since I love your guys� reviews so much and treasure them sooooo very much, I�d love to see more reviews. Remember, once I get chapter 22 up then the polls will be closed. So far Kakashi seems to be winning but let�s see if anybody can beat him ;). Read and review, flames (and constructive criticism) are accepted!
