I'm soooooo sorry I've been slacking really badly on this story. Please forgive me. I'll try to be good from now on. I got to into my Drrr fic. Now that there's only one chapter left of that I can get back to this one.

Anyway here's the next chapter.

I don't own Naruto.

Enjoy.

"Hey Deidara,"

"Yeah, un."

"What are we?"

"I...I don't really know, un. I guess we're like lovers, but not quite there yet."

"Hmm,"

"What's bothering you, un?"

"It's nothing."

"Katerina, I've been around you long enough to tell when something's bothering you, un."

"It's the chakra signature I'm sensing. It feels like my brother's but it's darker than it used to be."

"Your twin, un?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen him since that time in the woods shortly after you and I started our mission."

"If your that worried about it why don't you go check it out, un?"

"Your not going to follow me?"

"Not unless you go missing, un."

I got up. "I'll be right back...I hope."

"Way to have a positive attitude, un."

"Shut up."

I followed the signature to a clearing in the trees. He was taller and had matured but the person I was staring at was defiantly Sasuke. He was practicing different forms of chidori. Next thing I knew I was dodging chidori infused kunai.

"Come out Katerina." He said. His voice changed too.

"How did you know it was me? I had my chakra masked."

"There are other ways for us to tell when the other is near. I know my chakra feels different. You knew for sure it was me or you wouldn't have bothered coming even if you thought it might be me. You wanted to see what happened to me."

"Why is it you can always read me so well?"

"Your an easy person to read." He said.

"I'm going to take that as an insult."

"It was meant more to point out your weakness."

"So did everything go how you wanted it to after you left. I can guess that you have achieved the power you wished for."

"I can still become stronger. By the way Katerina. Your cursemark, it still hasn't been activated has it."

"What does it matter to you?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

"How many times have you lost control to the point that it tried to release itself from the seal Kakashi put on it all those years ago."

"Not that many." He pinned me against a tree and pushed my hair back so he could see the mark.

"You're lying, the seal's almost broken."

"Let go of me." I hissed.

"Why don't you just break free. Oh that's right, you're too weak to."

"Sasuke," I hissed.

"I don't know how you plan to help Itachi like this. Don't worry, I'll be sure to finish you when I'm done with him."

I let out a cry in rage and pushed Sasuke away from me. My shoulder pulsed and a throbbing pain came from my curse mark. I could feel it trying to break free and I tried to fight it back but this time it won. I held my shoulder. "Damn it," I muttered.

I looked at my left arm and saw the symbols spreading across my skin. "I should use you as bait to get Itachi." Sasuke said. "But unfortunatly Orochimaru has been looking for you. I'll take you to him first, then work on that." He hit the back of my head and I blacked out.

I'm sorry it's short but I'm in a hurry because my mom doesn't like that I write these at all and will be home soon so I need to go.

Please Review and I'll update ASAP.

See ya.
