*Mai's POV*

Shocked was an understatement.

We stood inside for a solid 10 minutes without saying a word.

"Mai-."

"Asami, what you do and don't do is none of my business,"

"So can we-,"

Kakashi couldn't finish his sentence as I cut him off.

"How long has this been going on?"  I questioned,

"A while now," Shizune responded.

Now I feel absolutely horrible. I had accused Shizune and Kakashi. I even made a huge scene about it. I hate myself now.

"Shizune about what I said-,"

"Mai, you got slapped by Kurenai, that was enough for me!" Shizune said as she smiled.

"She got slapped?" Both men said in unison.

"I needed that slap," I said back.

"She did," Shizune said in agreement.

"Ok, let's get to business. What's going on Asami?" Kakashi asked.

*Asami's POV*

I caught wind that he was sheltering in Kumo, under an alias. I followed the trail and sure enough found him.

"He is well guarded. Most of the Shinobi's he's with are S-rank level. I was alone and couldn't attack on my own. I heard that he was planning something big, he said he'll back for her."

I looked over to my sister but she was already leaning and hugging Kakashi.

"I'll set a special tracing mark on you. Just in case. And I'll put an extra barrier around the house. We can't risk it." Kakashi said in response,

"I have a feeling he is going to play the long game. He's hiding in plain sight meaning he'll wait it out. Whatever he's planning he'll be out for blood." I replied,

My sister was trembling.

"I know this is hard to process but we need to prepare ourselves. You need to be on high alert. We'll be ready this round." I said as I gave my sister a reassuring look.

"Thank you," was the only thing she said.

"Lord Sixth, take her home. We'll discuss this tomorrow." I said as I took Shizune's hand,

"Where do you both think you're going?" Kakashi said to us.

I was confused.

"Home?"

"Yeah, after you both clean up my office!" He said as he and Mai flash stepped out.

Shit!

*Mai's POV*

Just when I thought I'd get back to my life.

I just wanted to be close to Kakashi. He was my safe place. I needed him more then he'll ever know.

"Love, he's coming back for me!" I said as I curled up to him on the sofa.

"I had no idea what we were up against the last time. This time I am prepared. I let you down, I let myself down and I let my child down. But not anymore. If it means giving up my life for yours, then so be it!" He said as he kissed me.

"I don't want you to die. You'll need to be alive to protect us," I said,

"Then fine, I won't die!" He said,

"What does he want from me?"

*Kotono's POV*

Send word to our spies in Konoha. I want all eyes on her.

"Izumo, how did she break your genjutsu?"

"Kotono-sama I don't know but it would only make sense since she does possess the Hittaro clan power!" He said.

*Izumo's POV*

Izumo's Flash back.

"Izumo put her genjutsu, we'll make her distance herself until she runs off and comes to me, I'll then take her as mine and give her a child. Do you know how powerful that child will become!!

"Sir she is far too young-,"

"You dare question me, I care not of her age!! The only thing she needs is to carry my seed. I'm not a sick delinquent, I will not force myself on her, rather let her come and enjoy my jewels."

I felt rather sick at what he said and my conscience bothered me. But he is my boss and I gladly followed through if it meant he won't force himself.

End of Flashback.

"Sir I'll send word, not long I'll put a second genjutsu and we'll wait for her."

"Wise decision Izumo!" He said in a stern voice as I left.

I felt horrible doing this but I had to. During the time Lady Mai was captured. Kotono tortured her. I spent hour healing her and making her forget about the whole thing. It was the least I could do for my conscience.

How does anyone find it ok to hurt a pregnant woman.

I was the one that slipped those books into the Library that helped them find her.

But then she lost her child.

My anxiety rose through the roof as I thought about the whole situation.

I felt the need to help her because my Mother works for her. If she ever found out I was working with these people she'd personally be the one to kill me.

My Mother is Saya Nishi, handmaiden to the Lady herself.

Not once did my mother speak ill of her since she was always kind and giving.

My mother treated her own child. If any of these men found out how I'm connected to the Lady they would use it against me.

I remember keeping the Lady company and how she told me she was grateful to have someone to talk to. Even at a painful time like that she managed to be kind.

I wanted to run but if I did they would go after my family. This was my fault for joining them.

As all these thoughts flooded my mind, I came up with an idea.

I'm going to Konoha and then work as a double agent. Surrendering myself and giving them information. In return they protect me and family when chaos break lose.

I hope she find it in her heart to forgive me.

"Sir, can I go to Konoha to keep track, it'll be much easier to control the genjutsu over there!"

"Hmmm first hand, I like it. Send in report every week. I want to know all she's up to!" He said as he waved me off.
