---Recap---

Sasuke gave a 'Good' then looked at Kioko, obviously giving her his full attention. "Well," began Kioko with a deep breath, "do you know or have some kind of connection with him?" Kioko pointed to the picture of the elder Uchiha. Sasuke went wide eyed, and then gave a frightening growl.

"Yeah I do." He finally said.

---End Recap---

Kioko basically jumped from her seat, she was so anxious to know. Then she looked at Sasuke's expression, a mixture of loathing and sadness swelled into his dull eyes. Kioko then felt a little uncomfortable around the younger Uchiha. "He's my brother." Sasuke finally said. Kioko was shocked.

---Kioko's POV---

Oh….my…..gosh. Did he just say brother? I wasn't expecting that! Maybe cousin or something but not brother! Oh me and my big mouth.

---Normal POV---

Sasuke looked over at Kioko who held a somber look. He stood up looking at the clock, it was seven o'clock, training started in one hour. "Well are you coming?" Asked Sasuke in his usual dead voice. Kioko looked at him and nodded. Both excited the room.

Even at seven in the morning the village was unbelievably crowded. Sasuke smiled and held Kioko's as they made their way through the crowd. Girls gave Kioko dirty looks as she passed by them. Kioko shot fatal glares right back at them. Kioko felt her arm being jerked, it was Sasuke trying to make her stop glaring at other girls. Kioko let go of his hand and began to walk faster.

Sasuke looked at the girls who had noticed and began to swarm. He reached out for Kioko's hand, but Kioko drew in her arm and stuck her hands in her pockets. Sasuke's smile dropped and his expression became annoyed. He grabbed Kioko's arm and pulled her into an ally way.

"I don't know what your problem is." Said Sasuke, a cold look on his face. Kioko looked at him half amused half astonished.

"Liar!" She shouted as she jerked her arm trying to escape Sasuke's grasp. All of a sudden Kioko felt the sting of the back of Sasuke's hand rush across her right cheek. Kioko gasped, she couldn't even touch her cheek.

Finally she looked at Sasuke, he seemed angrier then usual. "Kioko," He began, "do you remember why we're putting on this act." Kioko remained Silent.

"Well?" Sasuke's voice grew a bit louder. Kioko nodded and mumbled, "To protect me from Akatsuki." Sasuke gave a slight smile, then moved in close to her lips.

"Without me, you'd die." He said mockingly. Kioko gasped as she felt Sasuke press his lips firmly up to hers. She struggled a little, at feast trying to free her hands enough to slap the boy back. Sasuke finally broke off, leaving Kioko stunned, confused, and annoyed.

"H-How dare you." She said with anger. Sasuke smiled and began to walk away.

"Meet me at the bridge in an hour." He ordered. Kioko dropped her gaze and obediently nodded. She sighed and sat against the cold cement wall.

---Kioko's POV---

Who does he think he is? I'm not his toy! He cant use me for his own amusement. I wont let him! Oh one day he'll pay. One day I'll make him regret using me!

---Normal POV---

"So, your allowing this boy to step on you. It's a shame, such a lovely creature being treated so cruelly." Said a voice.

Kioko pulled a kunai from her pouch and readied herself for battle, then out of the corner of her eye, she spotted two red eyes peering from the shadows. "W-Who are you?" She asked fear and bravery mixed in her voice.

"Now, now. No need to be alarmed." Said the voice again.

"At least allow me to see the face of the man who I'm speaking too." Ordered Kioko.

Then out of the shadows walked a cloaked man. He had raven black hair and red eyes. He looked almost exactly like Sasuke. Then it hit her, this was him. Uchiha Itachi. "I-Itachi." Questioned Kioko.

Kioko looked at Itachi, his facial expression changed into what she thought was a smile. The older Uchiha approached Kioko and put a pale cold hand on her cheek. Kioko felt a shiver go up her spine. "You deserve better." Whispered Itachi wiping the tears from her eyes with a pale thumb.

Kioko looked at the man, he seemed dark and full of hate at first glance. His gentle touch said otherwise. "You don't have to stick to a script, come with me and live freely." He said brushing the stray hairs from Kioko's face.

"I-I don't know." Said Kioko.

"Yes you do. I can tell what you want." Replied Itachi with a smile.

Kioko watched as he pulled one hand into his robe and moved it up to his neck, there he stuck it through his collar, then with a swipe down, he revealed his face. "So this is w-what you really look like." Said Kioko examining every inch of the Uchiha's face.

Itachi tipped Kioko's head up, there he looked her strait in the eyes.

"Come with me, leave the script behind, live a free life. Most importantly, regain your pride." Said Itachi with a slight smile.

Kisame stood on the nearest roof top. A large menacing grin grased his un-human lips. "Itachi really knows how to turn on the charm." He said with a chuckle.

---To be continued---

---Next time---

Kioko might just give in to Itachi's deadly influence, of course doing so would automatically make her an accomplice to the Uchiha's past crimes and put her into the organization she fears the most. Sasuke isn't willing to give Kioko to his brother, its not because he cares, it's because he hates to lose, especially to Itachi.
