A/N: This is the second part to the Complete story. Originally the story was supposed to have only one chapter, but I decided to add another chapter. I hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoyed the first chapter. And I hope you enjoy it so much that you'll review me!

Rain pounded on the roof overhead with a steady pitter patter. The sound brought back memories of how she had made the decision to abandon her friends just over a year ago. She had given up her old life; shed it like an old unwanted skin to embrace a new life with someone who completed her.

I have no regrets, Kurayami thought to herself, running a brush through her dark brown hair.

She knew that was a lie. She knew that she had one regret that plagued her continuously over the past year. It was a regret that she wished that she never had.

She regretted abandoning Kakashi without ending their relationship properly.

Kurayami sighed as the haunting image of Kakashi's pained face when he realized that she wasn't going to come back for him. She couldn't block out the thoughts that his heart was probably crushed when he learned that she hadn't been ordered to go on a mission and that she had simply ran away. She couldn't stop hating herself for hurting the man that had loved her since she was a child, a small stupid little Chunin.

"No Kurayami, you mustn't think about him," she chastised herself. "You came here because Lord Orochimaru completes you. He makes you feel like you belong and understands you better than anyone ever has. So stop thinking about Kakashi Hatake, pick yourself up, get dressed, and go to Orochimaru's side."

Ordering herself around made the thoughts go back into the dark recesses of her mind as she brushed her hair away from her neck and gazed upon the completed mark on her neck. The skin there was still very sensitive to the touch – something that Orochimaru loved to use against her – and occasionally prickled with pain. She couldn't say that the curse mark made her beautiful, but she felt like it had always been a part of her and that covering it up with make up was like hiding something that she should be proud of having.

Kurayami stood up with a sigh, letting her hair fall back in place and walked over to her closet. She ignored the black snake that wound its way around her ankle and selected a black midriff top and a pair of black short shorts. Working around the snake at her ankle, she managed to pull the shorts on and then slipped the top on. She had to lift another snake off her black ninja sandals and then slipped them on. The last part of her attire made her hesitate like always.

On one of the shelves in the closet sat her new headband. The Sound Village symbol shined in the light, etched into the forehead protector. Kurayami still felt uncomfortable wearing it, having always worn a Leaf symbol on her headband. But Orochimaru expected her to show that she was committed to his land and she had left her Leaf headband behind on the night that he had come for her in the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Get over it Ami," she snapped and she tied the headband around her upper arm, rather than put it on her head.

As she walked down the halls of Orochimaru's castle, she glanced into Sasuke's room. It was empty as it usually was. Sasuke was always training or wandering the halls of the castle, thinking about defeating Orochimaru as the ultimate test of his power, Sakura, Naruto, or anything that he felt like thinking about at the time. Kurayami rarely talked to him when she saw him, having an intense hate for him because of all the times that he had tried to kill her and called her some disgusting names just because she had been with his brother once upon a time.

Orochimaru was still very interested in the youngest Uchiha. He continued to work with the boy, trying to increase the Uchiha's power so that one day he could take over the boy's body and gain the power the boy possessed. Every day he'd push the boy farther and farther, never relenting no matter how badly Sasuke was injured. Kurayami and Kabuto would watch the two of them spar, never lifting a finger to help either party until Orochimaru called upon them to heal the two of them.

The attention that Orochimaru gave to Sasuke didn't really make her jealous. As much time as he spent with Sasuke, he spent double the amount with her. They'd train, spar, and make love. Sometimes, they'd sit under a tree or lie in his bed and just talk about nothing in particular. Kurayami always felt like he understood her completely and strove to make him proud of her.

She had lost count of the people she had killed for Orochimaru. Enemy ninjas would come from every land just to kill Orochimaru and his followers and Kurayami would kill them before they could get the chance. She'd killed Leaf ninjas and didn't feel the slightest bit bothered by it. They had come to kill her and the man she loved. She felt justified to kill them and it wasn't like she knew who they were anyway. So why feel guilty about it?

Kurayami stepped quietly into the large room that Orochimaru used as the indoor training arena, knowing that he would be there. Of course Kabuto was there too, lurking in the shadows. He cast a hateful look her way, but Kurayami ignored him as she watched Orochimaru practice some moves on captured enemies. Their death screams rang hollowly in her ears and she didn't even flinch.

What have I become that no death has an effect on me? Kurayami thought to herself. What kind of monster am I?

Orochimaru straightened when the last enemy fell to the ground and lay still at his feet. He looked disappointed as he always did when going against the weaklings that his men managed to capture.

"Kabuto, dispose of these sad excuses of ninja," Orochimaru ordered. "And next time, make sure you find someone more worthy to fight me."

"Yes Lord Orochimaru," Kabuto said, vanishing in a puff of smoke.

Seconds later, the bodies of the fallen vanished in puffs of smoke too.

Kurayami did not move when Orochimaru's cold gaze fell upon her. A slow smirk graced his pale lips and he crooked a finger at her. Almost as if she was attached by a string, Kurayami moved towards him slowly.

"How are you this evening, my pet?" he asked, stroking her face lovingly.

Kurayami smiled. "I'm fine…"

Orochimaru cocked his head slightly. "But you are still troubled by thoughts about your past, aren't you? Yes, I can see it in your eyes. You still think about how you have made Kakashi Hatake suffer…"

Kurayami nodded and lowered her gaze. It didn't bother her anymore how he could read her like a book. It made it much easier for her to get the answers that she needed from him.

"Ami, don't let your past trouble you. You made the right decision in coming with me. You have found happiness and love. You have found the strength that you were longing for and a place to call home," Orochimaru said, brushing a strand of Kurayami's hair behind her ear. "It's better for you to be here. After all, you wouldn't have had a village to call home after what I plan to do to the Village Hidden in the Leaves."

Kurayami still refused to meet his eyes until he gently cupped her chin with his hand and tilted her head up.

"You came for our love Ami. Do not forget that." He placed a hand on her flat stomach. "Do not forget what we have created and will create again."

Kurayami nodded and placed a hand over his. "I know, Orochimaru-sama."

Orochimaru smiled and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Kurayami was tempted to move so that he could kiss her correctly, but she wasn't really in the mood to have his long tongue in her mouth.

"Ami, I have a surprise for you," Orochimaru said, looking down at her with a smirk.

"A surprise?" Kurayami's eyes lit up. "Is it something I can kill?" What the hell is wrong with me?

"Yes." He seemed amused by her eagerness to kill something as he always was. "In fact, he should be entering this very room now…"

Kurayami's ears strained to hear someone approaching. Orochimaru gripped her arm to make sure she wouldn't run off to tear whoever was coming apart before they got there. People were shouting and Kurayami could hear metal striking metal and the sound of barking dogs.

Her world went black and white.

Those sound like Kakashi's dogs! Kurayami thought, her eyes widening. But he couldn't be here! He doesn't know what happened to me, he can't know! It can't be him!

The world moved slowly as the doors to the training room burst open. A couple of Sound ninjas shot through the air and crashed into the back wall. Kurayami stared at the person standing in the doorway with wide eyes.

"Kurayami, I believe you've met Kakashi Hatake before," Orochimaru said in his cool voice. "It's been a long time though, hasn't it?"

Kurayami stared at the panting Kakashi standing in the doorway. She watched his shoulders rise and fall as he fought to breathe and saw the blood seeping out of many of his cuts. His eyes bore into her, one red and one black as night, chilling her to her core. She could see the pain and the anger in those eyes and knew that she was to blame for it.

"Kakashi," she said and to even her, her voice sounded quiet.

"Orochimaru, let her go," Kakashi said, straightening. Kurayami was startled by the coldness in his voice.

"Why would I let her go Kakashi?" Orochimaru asked. "She's happy here and will continue to be happy here as long as she remains my wife."

Kakashi's eyes widened for a moment when Orochimaru forced Kurayami's hand up to show the ring on her finger. "When? Why Ami?"

"It's been like this for several months, Kakashi," Kurayami admitted, letting her hand drop back to her side when Orochimaru dropped it. "And maybe a little longer than that."

"Why?"

"Can't you see it Kakashi?" Orochimaru asked, cutting across Kurayami before she could form any words. "Kurayami never had feelings for you the way she has feelings for me. You were simply a tool used to gain further information about the movements of the Leaf ninja and to teach Kurayami more secret jutsu. She has always been my faithful student and lover."

Kurayami closed her eyes when his cold finger tips brushed over her complete curse mark. Kakashi's eyes narrowed.

"I'll break your control over her!" he snapped and suddenly he wasn't standing there.

Orochimaru smirked when Kurayami moved in front of him and blocked Kakashi's attack. "I have no control over her Kakashi. She's freer than she was when she was in that pitiful excuse of a village you call home. No one here will force her to hide her true nature or hold back her true talent. No one will force her to love them simply because they saved her life when she was a little girl…"

Kurayami felt a stab of guilt when she saw the look in Kakashi's eyes. She stared into his for a moment before pushing him away from her and Orochimaru. She couldn't let Kakashi touch him, but that wasn't for the lack of trying.

Orochimaru watched the two of them fight – one to protect him and the other to kill him – with a smirk on his face. He could see that Kakashi was holding back because of the feelings he still had for Kurayami. It was very amusing to him.

"Kakashi, why hold back?" he asked, taunting the silver haired ninja. "She will never let you come near me as long as she is still able to fight. I have trained her to fight no matter what and she has the will to protect me with her life.

"If you are holding back because of love for her, you are a foolish man. She could never love you. You don't understand her needs as well as I do. You are two different notes that should never be played together on the same chord…An imperfect match."

"Ami, look at me," Kakashi said, jumping to dodge one of her fire attacks. "I've been your friend for years. I've loved you for almost as long…Don't let Orochimaru's mind tricks hold power over you!" She wouldn't meet his eyes. "Kurayami look at me!"

Kurayami slowly met his eyes, revealing how catlike hers had become in such a short period of time. "It doesn't matter anymore Kakashi. Orochimaru is the one for me and he's not controlling me at all. This is all me."

She kicked him, sending him flying across the room. He caught himself on the ground and flipped to his feet, blocking another attack from her. Kurayami's hands and his were blurs as they fought each other, each of them making no gains and becoming steadily tired.

Soon, both of them stood feet apart from each other, panting. Kurayami's curse mark burned and black designs started creeping across her skin. Kakashi stared at her in horror.

"No Ami," he said, taking a step back.

"Kakashi Hatake before you die, there is someone I would like you to meet," Orochimaru said, suddenly standing next to Kurayami who was growling. "Kabuto bring him here."

The silver haired ninja with glasses appeared next to Orochimaru in a puff of smoke. In his arms was a child barely older than a few months. Orochimaru took the child from Kabuto and held it where Kakashi could see the pale face of the sleeping child.

"Kakashi meet my child Kazuhiro," Orochimaru said and the child opened their eyes.

Even from the distance that he stood from the four enemies, Kakashi could see the cats-eye green tint to the eyes and the snakelike pupils. Kurayami's eyes softened as she looked at Kazuhiro and her growling subsided.

"Ami…you had his child?" Kakashi whispered.

"And she will have more." Orochimaru said, cradling Kazuhiro against his chest protectively. "We have already planned to have as many as she can handle so that there will be many offspring that possess both snake and cat DNA and great strength."

Kurayami smiled and stroked the top of Kazuhiro's head lovingly. Then she looked back at Kakashi, who looked shocked and defeated. Her smile slipped a tiny bit.

"It's time for you to die Kakashi Hatake and it's time for you to take the last of the Hatake line to the grave with you," Orochimaru said.

Kurayami's muscles tensed up and released quickly, propelling her forward. Kakashi didn't move a muscle, making no attempt to defend himself. There was a flash of fire and he was gone, leaving a small pile of ash on the ground.

Kurayami extinguished the remaining flame in her hand and looked back at Orochimaru. He smirked.

"Excellent Kurayami," he said. "Now take Kazuhiro and go somewhere else. There is business that I must conduct for the remainder of the day that will require my full attention. I will rejoin your side tonight."

Kurayami nodded and took her child. With a small smile, she vanished in a puff of smoke.

Kurayami rocked Kazuhiro gently in her arms while she watched Kakashi sit on a rock far outside the Sound Village. She could tell that he was confused about why she had let him live when she was supposed to kill him back at Orochimaru's castle.

"Why?" he asked in a hollow voice.

"Because I will not kill someone that I have loved," Kurayami said simply. "There was a point in my life not too long ago that I loved you more than I've loved anything in my life…"

"But not now…"

"Kakashi, you wouldn't understand. I am complete with Orochimaru without holding back my strengths and demonic nature. He makes me happy and he always knows what to do or say to make me feel better," Kurayami explained. "Here no one would look down upon me for being with him because we are the same. Back in Konoha people looked down upon the two of us when we were living under the same roof and affectionate…"

"I didn't care about that Ami," Kakashi announced. "I cared about you and only you. I loved you more than I could ever love anyone again – I still do. I thought you felt the same."

Kurayami walked over to him and sat next to him. "Kakashi, I've showed you that I still have feelings for you. I have spared your life when the current man in my life would have you slain. I am offering you a chance to escape the Sound Village without being attacked by enemy ninjas…What else can I do to show you that I still care?"

"You could leave Orochimaru and come back with me. You could lie to them about why you left by saying that he kidnapped you or something. Just come back with me and I will do everything in my power to make you the happiest woman in the world."

Kurayami looked away from Kakashi and down at her child. "But what would you have me do with Kazuhiro? Abandon him here with Orochimaru? Kill him because of his blood? Take him back to the Leaf Village so that they will persecute him or kill him?"

Kakashi looked down at the sleeping baby and sighed. "I don't know what you should do with him. If you did bring him back, I won't lie to you and tell you that he won't be persecuted for his genes, but he wouldn't die. Tsunade wouldn't let him die because he is your son and he will pass on the genes of your clan."

Kurayami smirked at the mention of Tsunade. "She did have a thing for my grandfather once upon a time…"

"Ami, will you come back with me?" Kakashi asked.

Kurayami sat there for a moment thinking. She had loved Kakashi since she was six, but she was Orochimaru's wife now and was happy being so. She knew what answer he wanted to hear, but she wasn't sure she could give it to him. Not with her child in her arms and her demons yelling at her that it was a bad idea.

"Kakashi…I can't come back with you," she said slowly. "There is already someone back in Konoha who will need your attention more than I do. She needs you."

"Ami, I'm not taking another woman as my girlfriend, lover, or wife. I'll only have you," Kakashi declared.

"She's not someone looking to be your lover, girlfriend, or wife. She's looking for someone to give her a father's love. She's looking for you to take care of her."

Kakashi's eye widened (his Sharingan eye is covered again) slightly. "A father's love? You had a child before Kazuhiro?"

Kurayami nodded. "I hid it from everyone but Tsunade. I had the child a few months before Orochimaru brought me here. I don't know what Tsunade has done with her, but she's the result of our little slip up and I'm sure she's wondering where her father is."

"Ami, if you had her…why did you leave?" Kakashi demanded gently.

"To find acceptance and love that you couldn't give me a year ago with the trials of the Akatsuki hanging over my head. Kakashi, please go back to Konoha and take care of her. She needs you."

Kakashi got to his feet. "What about you?"

"I must stay here with Kazuhiro and Orochimaru," Kurayami said, also rising to her feet. "I know he will not be pleased when he finds out that you are still alive, but he will not hurt me too badly. He still needs me to reproduce because I'm the only one that can carry his offspring to term without dying myself or having them die in the womb. I will be fine."

Kakashi pulled her into a hug, kissing her forehead. "I will come back for you one day."

Kurayami nodded. "If you don't find me by the time Orochimaru falls at the hands of one of your pupils…I will come looking for you."

Kakashi faded from sight and Kurayami stood there, letting the breeze play with her hair. She looked down at Kazuhiro and smiled.

"Someday, you will be free to live as you want to my darling," she promised. "You and your sister…Yukiko…"
