Minato ; Kakashi . Gai. Tamazuki. I sent one of ours, Mai on a B rank mission. It suddenly bumped up to A rank and she's alone. You need to go find and help her.

Kakashi: got it.

Gai ; Hai !! 

Tamazuki : this mission is close by...

Kakashi: the taichou of this mission will be ?

Minato : you. Kakashi.

________________________________

Kakashi and gai were both reaching the destination when they heard loud female scream.

" Aaaahhhh !!!! "

Gai ; Ooi. Kakashi. That scream...

Kakashi: we've got to hurry.
.
.
.
The three of them reaches the scene and there was a strong pungent blood smell. But that was not all they saw.

There were corpses laid everywhere.

Gai ; this... All... Mai ?

Tamazuki: shouldn't we try looking for her ?

The three of them looked everywhere and tamazuki finds her " over here !!"

She was covered in blood and on the ground with her eyes opened.

Gai: mai. Mai !! Is she okay ? Why is she not responding?

Tamazuki: maybe she's... Too shocked ?

Kakashi: mai . Did you do all this ?

Her eyes shifted to Kakashi . Then she sat up.

Gai ; mai... Are you okay ?

Mai: .... Mission incomplete... My teammates... I hid them in a cave nearby. They're hurt. I asked for help... Please help them.

Kakashi: tamazuki. Gai. Go help them.

" Got it. " Tamazuki answers and gai goes with him.

Kakashi: Ooi. What happened ?

Mai looks to her hands " I'm scary... 30 of them... I killed... All of them... "

Kakashi: you protected your teammates.

" .... No... I just hid them there. I... Thought this ... Ah. Killing is so easy. One swing of my kunai... One drawing slice. He's dead. Another one. Another one... " She looked to her hands stained with blood " I'm... Dirty... The war never really passed for any of us. Kakashi."

Kakashi: you needed to stay alive.

Mai ; I try very hard not to kill. Because I'm scared I'll do this again... It's like I close my eyes and the next thing I know... I'm standing in a body of corpses. Did I enjoy it ? Maybe . Did I regret it and feel sorry for those I killed ? .... I don't feel anything... I'm a monster . Kakashi.

Kakashi takes out a bandage then starts to press her wound on her left rib. She winced a little " I didn't notice..."

Kakashi: it's bleeding very badly. You need to bandage it.

Mai ; arigatou...

" You're troublesome." He starts to help her to bandage.

________________________________

Mai : are you both ok ?

" Mai. You're ok. Are you hurt in any way ?" Her team mate Aries asked.

" What happened?" Her taichou, Bei asked. " You're ... Bloody."

Mai: ah gomen. I'll go take a wash

Kakashi: she killed all 30 of them.

Bei;  Sighs. So more than one wave came. And she killed all of them ?

Kakashi: it seems so.

Bei : That's... Really strong for her age.

Aries ; I thought she was crazy for saying to handle it alone.

Kakashi: how did you get hurt ?

Gai : it was very severe.

Tamazuki; Broke bones in a few places and internal bleeding. Mai placed some sort of seal to stop some places of bleeding. It acted like some sort of plaster.

Aries ; it's my fault. Taichou was trying to save me.

Bei: the mission was to take a scroll for intelligence. The place was tightly guarded. But we managed to enter successfully. To only discover once we were inside , it was all a trap. We were surrounded.

Kakashi: you couldn't win so you got hurt ?

Tamazuki: that doesn't make sense... Seeing what Yukisaki could do.

Aries: there was one very strong ninja who stopped us from leaving. I got hurt fighting him and was about to die when taichou came in and saved me.

Gai : I see. So the both of you got hurt in the process.

Mai came back " we abandoned the scroll. And I realised they had released more people after us."

Gai: I see. So we go back konoha now ?

Kakashi: she said mission incomplete. We should try to take it back.

Tamazuki: yondaime said help and support her. Our mission is complete.

Gai ; don't be like that. We should help her complete hers too.

Mai ; if it's with you two. I think we can do it.

Tamazuki: ignoring me ? I mean I don't mind staying back to tend the sick.

Gai ; no !!! You're part of the team !! We should do it together !!
