Yugito also noticed the time and widened her eyes immediately, knowing that they could potentially be late. "Come on then, let's go!" she said before placing her finished plate and glass in the sink. She would volunteer to do it later when they got home, exhausted or not.

Gaara concentrated for a second before his sand pooled around them both, solidifying enough beneath them to become a platform. Using his chakra and the control he had over it, he lifted it up into the air. He just hoped that she was alright with him just showing her rather than trying to explain it.

Naruto nodded and led Yugito out of the apartment, making sure to lock the door on the way out. Then he made a mad dash for the hot springs, jumping over rooftops to cut time. All the while he made sure that Yugito was following him. It would have been too easy to lose each other in the bustle of everyday Konoha.

Gemini gasped slightly and wobbled a little before regaining her balance. She hadn't expected that at all, but she had to admit it was a good idea. "Okay, that's just cool. You've gotta have the best abilities...but, are you sure you have enough chakra to get us all the way there?" She asked. She didn't want him too get too tired, when she was perfectly capable of walking.

Yugito made sure to keep up with the fellow blonde and jinchuuriki. She had a feeling that if they had taken to the streets that not only would she have gotten lost, but they would have never made it to the place Jiraiya issued in time.

Gaara chuckled lightly once he heard what Gemini said before quickly going back to his normal non-caring smirk. "While I thank you for the concern, I will be fine," he responded to her question. All he needed for her to do was to navigate him in the right direction.

Naruto landed in front of the hot springs right on time. However, when he looked around, he didn't see the white haired sage anywhere. Struck by a sneaking suspicion, he looked up to see the old man perched in a tree with a pair of binoculars, once again spying on the women inside the springs. "Hey, Ero-Sannin! Stop peeping on girls that are too good for you and get down here!" The blonde shouted.

Gemini nodded. She believed him. After all, why would he lie to her? "Okay then. It would have been a really twisting road on the ground, but as the crow flies, it's just straight north. It's still a bit of a trek, but not as much. You won't need me to tell you where it is, it's impossible to miss." She said. She had been to the prison once before to visit, but had left quickly afterwards. It was a gigantic gray stone building with barbed wire electric fences surrounding it.

Jiraiya stumbled before falling off from his perch. He was even using his invisibility ninjutsu to stay hidden. "Oi, Gaki, I told you not to call me that!" he shouted once he righted himself up. "And I thought you were going to be in that other form..." he started to say before Yugito bopped him on the head. While she was okay for it the first time, she didn't think it would be fair to Naruto if he had to do it everyday just to get the pervert to train them.

"Understood. North it is then," he replied before setting the cloud of sand to rise before heading in the direction that Gemini specified. If he could easily spot it, then it would have to be distinct. After thirty minutes of flying, he saw barbed wire around a dull looking gray building. Assuming that that was the place, he directed the sand to slowly descend.

Naruto sneered. "If you're gonna keep spying on girls, and trying to get me to look like a woman, then you deserve to be called that. Now why don't you just start our training, dattebayo?" He said, crossing his arms. He wondered just what this perverted old man had to teach them. Would it be worth putting up with his antics?

Gemini wobbled again as the platform moved, unconsciously grabbing onto Gaara for support. She wasn't used to the ground moving under her, so she held on the whole time, even gripping tighter as they descended. The knot in her stomach grew as they landed, and she felt the old familiar fear wash over her again, like a wound reopened. "G-Gaara-san..." She whimpered.

"Alright, alright, jeez. You can't blame an old man for trying," he muttered he said before creating a single clone. "First off, I want to see where the both of you are in the arts: Nin, Gen, Tai and any others you may know. After that, we'll take a small break and I'll tell you how we go from there. First though...do you know the secret of the Kage Bunshin gaki?" he asked.

"He won't harm you Gemini...and he can't harm you anymore," he said softly, having a feeling of why she was so afraid. For several years she had suffered mentally at the hands of this bastard of a male. Oh he would pay...no one deserved that torture.

Naruto crossed his arms, looking smug. "I do, dattebayo. Just watch!" He made a hand seal. "Kage Bunshin no Justsu!!" With a puff of smoke, at least twenty perfectly identical Naruto's appeared. "Whoops...guess I overdid it a little...hehe..." They all said at once.

Gemini gulped and nodded, looking up at her friend. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath to calm herself and started forward. "Let's go. It's time I finally got some closure." She said. Once inside, she asked the guards at the door where she could find one Yokou Kishin. They were pointed towards the yard, where Gemini quickly spotted the bastard she was looking for. He was alone, working out. Glancing at Gaara, she started towards the man. "Yokou!!" She called out, causing the man to look up. When he saw her, his eyes narrowed in hatred and he walked to meet them.

"So, the little bitch returns. To what do I owe this surprise, brat? After all these years, you finally decided I was worth a thought? And who's your boyfriend? Another monster whelp like you?" The insults flew like arrows, and it was easy to see why Gemini had always been scared of the man. He had a way of making you feel two inches tall.

Gemini started shaking, flashing back to all the beatings, but calmed herself by focusing on her anger. When she opened her eyes, they were bright red with slitted pupils. "I came here to finally confront you, Yokou-teme. I've lived in fear long enough. Even after all these years, even without ever seeing you, I've been affected by what you did to me in the worst way, and I'm finished. I won't be pathetic anymore. I'm here to tell you that you mean nothing to me anymore. You are nothing, no one. As far as I'm concerned, you never existed. I feared you, then I hated you, and now...now I'm forgetting you. I'm not the monster here, Yokou, you are. You're the scum of the Earth, and you don't deserve to be alive!" Her tail swished angrily back and forth, and she was clearly restraining herself.

The giant of a man looked shocked, then it quickly turned to rage. "You little shit! You're nothing! You're worthless! And now that I'm in here, I can do anything I want to you, because there's nowhere else for them to put me!" With that he lunged forward, tackling the young kitsune and punching her. She tried to block, tried to throw him off, but he was so much bigger than her. He started choking her. "I'm going to do what I should have done all those years ago! I should have just killed you! I'm going to finish the job now, you worthless little c-" He said a word then that was inexcusable, disgusting, vile, one that should never be spoken to any woman.

(...You want Gaara to kill him, don't you?)

((Oh hell yes.))

Jiraiya just shook his head. "So you can use it. While that is impressive, that wasn't what I was talking about," Jiraiya said. "This is also the reason that I want you to learn this as well Yugi-chan," he said before easily dodging the punch sent his way.

"Don't call me that," she said as Yugito glared at him. Though she was curious about the technique...though why would he be teaching her a technique such as this?

Gaara watched in horror as the young man said and did these horrible things to Gemini. He wasn't going to interfere, knowing that she needed to do this on her own; however, when he tackled her and started beating her down, his sand started to get agitated, just like he was. Once he indicated that he was going to finish the job that he started all those years ago and started choking her, something inside of him snapped as sand poured out from all around him. "Let her go," he said in a dark demonic voice, almost as if Shukaku had taken over. However, it had not. Gaara's anger and rage had subconsciously drawn enough power for him to draw upon the powers of the one tail and give him a demonic cloak as dark brown, almost black, chakra surrounded his body.

Dispelling the clones, Naruto bent over at the waist, laughing as the old man dodged Yugito's punch. "Yugito-chan really isn't the sort of girl you want to mess with, Ero-Sannin. If you're not careful, she'll probably fix you!"

The giant of a man paused, looking up at Gaara. He stood up then, taking Gemini with him, holding her throat with one hand as her feet dangled above the ground. "I see. My little devil spawn found herself another demon." He taunted, clearly thinking that his size advantage would help. He obviously had no idea who he was dealing with. "And just what will you do, brat, if I don't let her go? What if I decide to do this instead?" He brought his fist up and punched Gemini in the stomach.

Gemini was barely conscious. Her hands were desperately scrabbling for purchase around Yokou's fist, trying to pry his fingers from her throat. Her legs kicked out, trying to find solid ground but meeting only air. She felt like a punching bag as a fist flew into her stomach. Pain screamed through her, but all she could manage was a tiny cough. She was losing consciousness now, the world spinning and turning black as her struggles grew weaker. "B-bastard...real tough...beating on a little girl..." She coughed, still baiting the man even as she was close to death.

Yokou shook her. "Shut it, you useless piece of shit! Ow!" He had brought his fist too close to her face, she had bitten him, and wasn't letting go. She glanced frantically at Gaara for help, since she couldn't hold on for long.

“Then I will not be held responsible for my actions against you,” he said in the same tone as before, just barely holding onto his sanity. Someone inside of him, not the same voice as he always heard, was telling him to let go and let him take over. However, seeing Gemini getting punched in the stomach was the last straw as he let his sand course around him and permeate the area around them. He knew what he was trying to do next would be hard but damnit he was going to try. Forcibly pushing Yokou away from Gemini, He quickly created a dense cocoon of sand around her, something that this bastard wouldn’t ever hope to penetrate.

Seeing that she was now safe, he turned towards the larger man. ”You know…something you said earlier is coming back to me. You said that you could do anything now that you were in here, but you also fail to realize something: I can do anything to you” he said as a feral grin appeared on his face. With his sand everywhere, this bastard was going to have a slow, painful death…

“Just means you have a good girlfriend gaki. But I was talking about its other trick. Have you ever noticed how you can instantly know something when using a Kage Bunshin that you wouldn’t have realized otherwise?” Jiraiya asked with a light smirk.

Gemini was just about to pass out when suddenly the hand was removed from her throat, freeing her airways. Before she could do more than gasp for air, she was surrounded by something rough that smelled a lot like blood. She realized it was sand, and wondered just what Gaara had planned. She smiled shakily, knowing that he was protecting her.

Yokou was shocked when sand- of al things, sand- pried the girl away from him and wrapped protectively around her. He finally took a good look at the person facing him. The boy was tiny compared to him, no threat at all under normal circumstances. But...it clicked then, just who he was facing. "Holy shit...you?! How the hell did that little slut manage to meet you? Shit! S-stay away from me!" The giant man was starting to panic now. Of all the people his worthless "daughter" could have befriended, it had to be the sand demon himself! Talk about having friends in high places!

Naruto's clueless look was answer enough. "Wait...what? What are you talking about?" He asked. Clearly the knuckleheaded blonde had never actually paid much attention beyond just fighting with the clones.

"After harming Gemini-chan, you want me to just stay away from you? Why, so you can cause harm to Gemini-chan when I'm not around? No, not going to happen," he growled out as he stepped closer to the man. He wanted this man to suffer for all the torture that he put Gemini through.

"As I thought. Have one of your clones transform into that girl version of yours and go into the girl's side of the spa. Take a look around, have it take a dip or whatever, then dispel it. And before you ask, there is a point to this exercise," he said as he added on the last bit.

Yokou took a step back, stumbling in his haste to get away. To anyone looking on, it might have been humorous, the giant muscle man scrambling away from the small redhead. "Th-this is none of your business! She's my daughter and I can do what I want! It's n-not like anyone's ever claimed her! What's so s-special about her, anyway, that you's defend her? She's n-nothing! A worthless little whore! What, did she sleep with you? She's not worth this, I swear it!"

Naruto looked disgusted. "What?! There's no way I'm gonna do that! Besides, most of the people around here already know what my jutsu looks like...they'd know it was me." He said, looking away. He would not send his clone to spy on girls! "I bet this is just another way to spy, old pervert. Try something else."

"I swear it isn't Gaki. Just send your clone over there, and dispel it right after it goes inside. Or, you can send it off somewhere else, I don't really care as long as it's away from you," he said irritated. He was trying to prove a point, not be a super pervert...at least not at the moment.

(...I have an even better idea when it comes to Yokou. Gaara uses his sand to grind away the skin on his body, a painful experience, but keeps him alive, knowing that someone else would want the pleasure of killing him: Kurama)

((That sounds pretty damned perfect.))

Naruto sighed. "Fine. I know where to send it." He said, creating one clone. "To the prison. Find Gemini-chan's adoptive father, then dispel." He told the clone. It nodded and went running off. Where they were currently, it was only ten minutes to the prison. Ten minutes later, Naruto's expression changed from boredom to fury. The clone had just dispelled, leaving the blonde with a very clear view of what was doing on. "Yugito-chan...we need to move our practice to the prison yard for a bit."

((That should set it up ^.^))

"What did you find out gaki?" Jiraiya asked, curious as to what was going on. Saru-sensei didn't tell him about this...

"That...that was Gemini's father? I hope the sand prince doesn't kill him...I'll let him have a piece since he's going to be my daughter's future mate, but as her father..."Kyuubi said in anger from just hearing the words that were said about her daughter. 'He dares to call her a whore?' he thought in anger...

"You may have given her a roof over her head, but you are NO father of her's! A father shouldn't do what you have done to her," Gaara replied in anger as he brought a tendril of sand up to blast him in the arm. The sand whip hit so hard and fast it actually took the skin right off of his arm. Seeing him in pain, Gaara couldn't help but let his psychotic grin from before coming to Konoha to appear upon his face. He was going to slowly kill this bastard...

Naruto growled, looking like he was about to go postal. Gemini-chan went to visit the bastard who adopted her. He attacked her. Right now, that Gaara guy is giving him what he deserves. But Kyuubi wants a piece of him, too." He said, already running in the direction of the prison. "Let's go, before the bastard is dead!"

Yokou couldn't help the scream of pain that escaped him. His skin had literally been ripped off! "Fuck! You fucking little monster! You'll pay for this!" He yelled, grinding his teeth together. Where were the prison guards when you needed them? He spotted something orange darting in from behind the redhead, and called out for help.

Entering the prison yard, Naruto saw first hand what was going on. He felt rage, and it wasn't only his own. "Hey!" He yelled to Gaara. "You get a piece of him, but Gemini-chan's real father gets the kill!" He yelled.

"Her real father?! He's alive!? Where is he?!" Yokou was starting to hyperventilate. Who could her father be?!

Gaara nodded in understanding, knowing that the Kyuubi would want the final kill. Attacking him once more as he flayed away skin on his arms, he moved Gemini back from the bastard before stepping away from the fight, as much as he didn't want to. It was only because he knew that Kyuubi, also the girl's true father, would issue the kill.

"Naruto, I know this is going to drain you, but can you give me a Kage Bunshin?" Kyuubi asked. He didn't want to trouble the kit with the chakra drain, but this was important.

Naruto nodded, seemingly to himself, before creating a clone. "Go for it, dattebayo. Consider it thanks for doing what I couldn't all those years ago." He said darkly.

Yokou screamed again, trying desperately to get away fro certain death. He saw the clone, and he watched it take on the chakra and form of the Kyuubi. "N-no! That's impossible! That slut's father is the demon fox?!"

Still cocooned in sand, Gemini could hear what was going on outside. "G-Gaara-san? Let me out. I want to see. I want to watch the bastard die." She called.

Gaara heard Gemini's request and let her out of the sand cocoon before placing the sand back into his gourd. He had a feeling that he was going to enjoy watching this bloodbath, also knowing that Gemini would be enjoying this as well, or at least he hoped she would.

Kyuubi grinned ferally as he nodded to Naruto, indicating that he heard what the kit had said before turning his attention towards the bastard in front of him. "You...who dares call my daughter a Slut, a Whore, a Cunt, among other things...you who dare lay a hand on her when she did nothing to deserve it...yesss...your death will be slow...painful," he said with a grin that promised much pain and agony. It looking as if something that Gaara would be wearing.

Naruto stepped back to watch the carnage, while going over to Gemini to see if she was okay. He didn't say anything, just nodded at her with concern in his eyes.

Gemini caught Naruto's gaze and nodded back, knowing what he meant. She would be fine, especially once the coward in front of them was dead.

Yokou stammered, trying to step back but meeting a wall instead. He was sweating and breathing heavy, blabbering something about sparing his life, as he wet himself.

While Yugito had followed Naruto inside the prison before it was put into lockdown status, forcing Jiraiya outside, she now had no idea what exactly was going on, or what to do. She would just have to ask afterwards...

Kurama was slowly poisoning the man with his youki as he dug into the bastard's skin, having the energy nails cut through bone, nerves and muscles without cutting the skin at all. It was an advanced skill, and something that he hoped he never had to teach the kit or kitling.
