Jubei clenched his hands into fists and slammed them against a nearby wall. A massive hole was created in its wake and he grabbed Sakura by the arm, pulling her through. The flames passed by the hole harmlessly. After the fire ceased, Jubei stepped forth from the hole in the wall, facing down Mai.
"What are you doing, Mai?"
His facial expression was one of mild anger and the tone his voice was serious. He clenched his fists further, cracking his knuckles loudly. His blue eyes pierced her own and his mind was focused.

Sing me to sleep tonight,
Sweet Juliet.
Two star-crossed lovers married,
Looking for regrets..
Mai laughed.
"Having some fun. I mean, my father's a p***k, and well.. my mother..." Mai looked to her mother, who had been saved by Jubei. She just laughed.
Sasuke caught up, standing beside Jubei. Mai let her gaze ligered on him slightly, before looking back at Jubei.
"Oh, thanks for letting me know everything on your mind. And know all your jutsus." She smiled. "It's going to be useful for the Akatsuki."
She made a move to take off again, before remembering another point she wanted to bask Jubei with.
"Although, it was kinda sweet how you had an infactuation with me. But, seriously, an Uzumaki with an Uchiha. Please." Mai said, her evil laughter filtering through the halls.
She blew a kiss to all three of them, before disappearing in a flurry of leaves. Transportation jutsu.
By daybreak I'll be gone,
And searching for your kiss
Lend me
A drop of poison...
Waiting on your lips.

Emi sped through the trees, following her shadow impatiently.
Come on, come on...I have to find Rikou.
She heard a noise from the tower, and looked over to see a hole in the wall, with Jubei and Sakura standing outside.
"What are you doing, Mai?"
Mai? But she was unconscious...?
You left her there. You idiot. Go and help them again.
I'm not any good in battle situations. And I have to find Rikou.
Screw him. If he wants to be alone, let him. You're a kunoichi. Start acting like one.
Shut up. Jubei's no idiot, and neither is Sakura-sama. They can handle Mai.
Baka...
Emi continued after her shadow, leaving Jubei and Sakura to deal with Mai.

Jubei went deathly silent for a moment after Mai made her escape. A faint aura of crimson chakra appeared around his body.
"That damn Akatsuki..."
The aura thickened and circled around his feet, his clothes and hair began to move from its power. He looked over at Sasuke, his eyes burning with hatred.
"We have to find her..."
And kill the Akatsuki while we're at it!
Jubei calmed himself and the aura disappeared.
"You will help us, won't you Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha?"

"Sonova!" Ibaraki had not expected for the burst of strength his sister had given him. And as such he hadn't really been prepared to hold her down a bit more. Landing on his feet in a crouched position, he had only a few seconds to chase after her. But those seconds were too late, he arrived in time to hear the end of her speech and see the leaves falling peacefully to the ground.
"Mom!" Ibaraki shouted, rushing over to his mother. "Are you okay? Mai, she's under some...I couldn't stop her, maybe I should have bulked up some?" He gave a bitter laugh.
"And maybe you should have just let me stab her," Kiku spoke from behind him. The second Mai had fled she'd gone after. "Has anyone found the rookie yet?"
((Sorry I'm so late everyone, it was kinda hard to think up a rsponse for my people and Kaede seems to have dissappeared. Am I to be forever without teammates? lol))

Okay, so. Sasuke was pissed off.
The girl was definatly getting grounded after this. No matter it was Genjutsu.
"Of course." Sasuke said, instantly rolling Sakura into it as well. They were a team now, ever since their marriage.
Sasuke noticed the aura that had surrounded the Uzumaki. It was the same thing he saw from his father, all those years ago when they fought.
"She'll probably head for Rikou. If her intentions are anything like the Akatsuki, she'll want to kill as many Leaf Shinobi, until the entire village is dead." Sakura said, face full of feterination. Sakura saw Ibaraki and Kiku, and quickly filled them in.
"We know. We're going to go look for her.

And this is who I am when,
When I don't know myself anymore.
And this is what I choose,
When it's all left up to me.
She was outside now, sitting in a tree, chakra perfectly masked. No one could find her, unless of course they peered into the tree.
Okay, truth is, Mai was bored out of her mind. She didn't feel like fighting anymore, and even the whole 'destroying the Leafe Village', idea seemed dull.
"Now... maybe fighting the Hokage, or... Oo~! Fighting Jubei!" Mai said to herself in an excited whisper. That's the only kind of fighting she felt like, the kind where she could rip apart Jubei Uzumaki, limb by limb.
Grinning madly to herself, Mai jumped down from the tree, after she knew Emi was long past.
Then, doing the dangerous, she flaired her chakra out, hoping someone would sense it.
Breathe your life into me.
I can feel you....
I'm falling, falling...
Breath your life into me.

Jubei suddenly felt a familiar chakra rise. He turned to the others quickly.
"Did anyone else feel that? It's most likely a trap, but at least it's Mai. She can't defeat all of us together."
He folded his arms across his chest, waiting for the others to answer.

Sasuke nodded. It was definatly Mai, alright.
Sakura smiled.
"I doubt it's a trap. Like you said, she can't defeat all of us. Especially with the loss of chakra she had. She must be running on less than 20%." Sakura told them.
Akira had left for outside, and had luckily come across the raven-haired kinoichi. He paused, and then decided to face her.
"Uciha, Mai." He stated.

Jubei was not truly convinced.
"Mrs. Uchiha, although your statement is sound, we cannot be too certain as to what the situation really holds. We can't make assumptions, so regardless of how much chakra she has we need to be cautious."
He took a few steps towards the exit of the tower. He looked back at the others.
"Shall we go?"

Emi felt a flash of familiar chakra, and ignored it. It wasn't Rikou's, and it wasn't Hiro's, so it was therefore irrelevant at this point in time. Her mission was to find Rikou, and anything else was merely a distraction.
She followed her shadow into the high branches of a tree, where she saw another shadow. Looking down, she could see her brother and Rikou.
"Thank you," she told the shadows quietly. "You've served your purpose quite well. Release!"
The two shadows next to her, as well as the rest of the shadow Emis, vanished immediately.

((Oh fudge, I log off to take a nap and the RP goes up two pages, I know how you guys feel, this happened to me all the time in Level 1 RPs back in the day. As for Rikou I thought I would add something in that would change how he viewed people, just for kicks mostly and to show deep thinkers can lead to their own down fall.))
"Now they look for me? It took them long enough I suppose."
Rikou had managed to make it to the upper floor despite his wounds from the battle. He did this so he could think more and makes the doubtful thoughts die down more; it wasn't working. Rikou wasn't completely changed; his friends looking for him now made his thoughts more close to that of the old Rikou's personality. He had worried this would create two personalities within Rikou if he allowed such insanity. Currently the pain had over turned Rikou's kindness for now; he just needed time to recover his thoughts with rest.
"I wonder if they'll even find me? I wonder if they'll even look hard enough for a tool?"
Rikou chuckled to himself as his hand grasped the wound caused by the Chidori. He clenched the wound to cause it new pain for himself, the pain made him feel stronger for some twisted reason, probably from his darkened mind.

Emi hopped down from the tree, and reentered the tower through another door. It seemed Rikou was still in the tower somewhere, probably the upper level. She climbed the stairs quickly, and stopped in the doorway to a new room.
"Rikou? Are you up here?"

"Why yes, so glad of you to notice! Don't let me take up your time; I'm sure there is something more important for you to do then help me."
Rikou was displaying sarcasm was a bit unusual for his character, since he was usually always happy or thinking instead of putting others down. Rikou was still clenching his wound made by the Chidori that Mai used, gripping at it as if thinking that would make the pain stop. He was already planning to take revenge on Mai for this pain, also something that was out of Rikou's character. The wounded Rikou was just about to leave the upper levels and go back below where he could see how Mai was doing; he wanted to taunt her using the fact he was alive and she was being held down. Thought now Emi was in his way right now and this made him frustrated.
"What can you do anyway for me? I bet you wasted all your pain killers on that Akatsuki agent, how ironic would that be? Or maybe you just don't want to help me at all? You only feel obliged to even check on me because you don't want to look bad in front of others! Well don't bother; you all care about me the same way; Not at all."
Rikou was putting words he thought Emi was thinking out into the open, displaying his doubtful nature to Emi, in hopes that this would stop her pretending kindness and concern. This is what Rikou thought now, everyone's concern was just a lie and Rikou could only look out for himself.
"I know this of you because you never cared for any man, you hate your brother because he is a man, you are only kind to me because you want a shield to be there when a kunai comes your way, you’ll know I'll block it for you. I'm nothing but a tool to everyone one of you, maybe that was all the Akimichi Clan is, tools. I remember the story of when my father was younger. The mission was to retrieve Sasuke from the Sound Four and my father was the first to fight one of them head on. They left him to die, only using his own power did he live through that battle. He told me how they left signs for him to follow and he said that was a sign of their care for him. I laugh at that story now, they only set those signs there so if their tool survived, it could come back to its master!"
Rikou was now chuckling to himself; he had clearly gone mad from such small events, thus the threat of a concentrated thinker. He grasped at his wound more, the pain making his chuckling more loudly and his face more twisted.

"Rikou...you..."
Emi stood staring at Rikou, completely stunned. Is this...really Rikou? He isn't acting like himself. Those accusations...they're completely unfounded!
Are they really? Come on, Emi, think for a minute. You do hate almost every guy you know. What makes Rikou any different?
He's my teammate!
Right. Because you've put so much emphasis on teamwork before this. Think back to the battle you were just in. Rikou steps up to help, and what do you do? You leave him to handle it himself, and go to help the idiots who are too stupid to move on their own. Great teamwork, Emi Nara. No wonder he thinks of himself as a tool.
There was no point arguing with herself, Emi realized. She was just going to lose, anyway.
"No, Rikou, it isn't like that, you know it isn't! My father cared about your father back then, just like Hiro and I care about you now!"
