OOOKAYYYYYYY!!! HI AGAIN! Ok so by this time im sure that you have noticed the sucky title. It was meant to be The Traitor is Near (Confronting Us All) like that....I couldn't choose one but it didn't put the parentheses like I wanted it to so bear with me please. SRY ..here goes..

Kana was sleeping in her bed when she heard her name. Orochimaru had just gotten done switching hideouts and she was tired of traveling. Why were they calling her NOW?? Hadn't she just gone to sleep a few minutes ago? Actually, Kana had been sleeping for quite some time and six hours had come and gone.

The voice was muffled because of her closed door but soon enough it swung open and Kabuto, Orochimaru's faithful servant, stood in the doorway.

"Get up", he said. Kana hated him. He constantly ordered her around and treated her like a stuffed doll. "We don't have all day. Orochimaru-sama wishes to speak with you so don't keep him waiting." As her door closed Kana scowled at the sound of his voice. It was so annoying and flat. What she would do to land a punch on the guy.

She had no choice. She rolled out of bed and dressed in the outfit that had become her everyday look. The gray tank top with pants much like TenTen's but black and the oh-so-popular ninja sandals. She fixed her hair and walked out of her room and into the long hallway.

"Kana, I'm glad you decided to join us", Orochimaru hissed as she entered the room. She stood square in front of him and detected the signs of a body that would need to be replaced in three years time.

"I wanted to tell you something that you might be happy about."

"What is it?"

He smirked as he saw her strong eyes pretend not to be anticipating his answer. "I have found a suitable donor." Of course he meant a donor for a body. She knew that he would be searching for somebody to take over in his quest to live until he unraveled the world. "Now who would be such a fool to fall for a trick like that?" Kana always thought that the people that fell into his traps must be desperate. They couldn't possibly believe that he would grant them power when he himself wished to be the strongest. "Sasuke will be joining us shortly." That's all it took for Kana's eyes to open wide in disbelief that, Sasuke, somebody she had known for a long time, would actually do something as dumb as fall into a trap. He wouldn't do something like that.

She retreated to her bedroom. Orochimaru hadn't said anything else to her except that he had sent Tayuya and the others to retrieve him and that, if everything went well, he would be here soon. She cried. She didn't want that to happen to Sasuke. She wanted him to stay in the village and grow up with the others. She knew he was giving his life away but at the same time....she wanted to see him again. They had been close as young kids and when she was taken from the village...she hadn't even gotten to say goodbye. She was going to find out what he really planned to do. He wasn't dumb. He had an idea. She knew it.

Three years ago, Orochimaru had tried to take Kana's power from her. If he succeeded, she would be a good candidate for the body transfer. However, Kana's power rejected his body and nearly killed him. Her power increased every year and, soon, she would have to get rid of the energy that her body couldn't hold. If she could, she would give it to Sasuke. She had decided that right away.

Kabuto told Kana of Sasuke's desire to kill his brother and about his dramatic change in personality. She wasn't surprised that he had changed but she secretly hoped that he could still smile for her. She wasn't much different from him. Personality wise. She too wanted to kill Itachi for what he had done but she hadn't ever brought herself to do it because she felt like something wasn't right. Something told her that what he had done wasn't his fault. She called herself a fool for believing that.

Sasuke was to arrive the next morning. Kana sat in a tree watching the sun fall into the horizon. She wouldn't be alone anymore. Perhaps having the company of Sasuke would lighten the darkness of the hideout. Then again....maybe not. The first star in the sky shone the brightest. It would be, of course, because he had no one to challenge him. Kana thought of herself. She had nobody to challenge her. Nobody to talk to or make memories with. She was alone. But then the rest of the twinkling shapes came out from hiding and they were all as bright as the first. Smiling, Kana walked back to the hideout and wondered if, someday, she would be able to return to her stars in the village. Those stars, however, were the first to disappear in the morning sun's light.

Kana stood in the dark of the room as they talked to each other. She couldn't bring herself to rise her head and look into the eyes of the friend that she was sure had forgotten about her. She stood staring at the ground and occasionally felt somebody staring at her. Orochimaru was explaining to Sasuke how he would gain his power and Sasuke countered him with questions that Kana was surprised he came up with. His voice was deeper and had a strong, hard tone to it. He sounded like he wanted Orochimaru to shut up. Like he was getting a lecture about the most unimportant subjects in history. Yet he listened carefully so obviously it meant something to him....right?

Sasuke :

He could see the silhouette of somebody standing in the corner of the room but couldn't make out a face because, whoever it was, they had their head down. He looked questioningly at the figure but decided that whoever it was, they couldn't be that important. He felt the presence of a strong power and guessed without doubt that it had to be Orochimaru's. So he was this strong huh?

Kana:

Kana felt eyes on her again and closed hers to relax herself. She knew the conversation was coming to an end as Orochimaru said, "You're not alone here. The one that will help you and make sure you have what you need is standing right there." Kana knew he was pointing at her. He expected her to come out and reveal who she really was. She took a deep breath and raised her head as she walked into the light.
