Hey guys! Enjoy! (:

When she woke up, Aiko found that she was laying down on a cold iron table. There were large straps tying her down to it. She looked around as best she could and saw that she was in what looked like a lab.

"You're awake," a mysterious man said. He was pale and wore a black hood. He motioned to a pale boy to start. The boy pressed some buttons on the machine that he was standing behind and Aiko suddenly felt an enormous pain.

"S-stop," Aiko cried, tears forming in her eyes.

"Just endure it, it'll be over soon enough," the mysterious man said. Aiko cried out in pain.

"Un-uncle Sasuke," Aiko whimpered.

"Why do you call that traitor? He's a disgrace to the Uchiha name," the man spat.

"Don't you dare speak of my uncle that way," Aiko blurted out between gasps.

"Oh so you don't know? Hmph, I doubt they'd tell you in the first place. Well, allow me to let you know," the man said.

"K-know wh-what?" Aiko asked. It was getting more and more difficult to speak. Whatever they were doing to her, it was painful and her body felt as if its life force was being drained.

"That traitor you so lovingly call uncle is the very man who killed your father, Itachi Uchiha," the man spat. Aiko's eyes grew wider and she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Her vision was getting blurry.

"You're a liar!" Aiko cried out. The man chuckled in a menacing way.

"You don't believe me? Poor girl, being fed lies. I'm sure that ignorance is bliss and all, but I don't believe that Itachi's daughter should be living in lies, especially about her own father," the man said. Aiko tried to struggle against the bonds but to no avail, they were tight and she wasn't strong enough to break free. She wasn't going anywhere. Images of Sarada and Sasuke flashed before her. Of the village, of her friends.

"You're lying," Aiko said, almost a whisper.

"It's no lie. Sasuke Uchiha is a traitor that murdered his own brother," the man said again. Aiko's eyes were so watery that she could no longer see.

"Hmph, just how much chakra does this girl have," the annoyed young boy said. He was standing behind the monitors.

"Patience! She's very important. Once we have all her chakra, we'll harvest her DNA," the man said, feeling triumphant.

"I'm going to die…" Aiko whimpered quietly.

"Well, yes. But don't worry. You won't truly die. We're going to make clones with your DNA, in other words, you'll be alive through them," the man said. Aiko felt disgusted. Suddenly, her eyes burned.

"Ah, the Sharingan…is this your first time? You looked surprised," the man said. Aiko noted the burning sensation in her eyes, it didn't hurt, it was just a strange feeling. She looked at them and saw fire in the center of their bodies.

"Th-this is the Sharingan?" Aiko asked.

"Yes, it is something only we Uchiha possess. You should feel proud, now, you are that much more valuable to us," the man said. Aiko glared at him, sweating and gasping from the pain.

"So…it's chakra that you're taking from me…" Aiko asked, noting a blue light coming from her body through the wires into the collection chamber they had her strapped on to. Before he could answer, the man grew tense.

"He's coming! Make sure that machine does not stop!" the man shouted. The boy nodded and as he did, Sasuke appeared in the room using his Rinnegan.

"Uncle Sasuke…" Aiko sighed before she blacked out.

"You're awake," Sarada sighed. Aiko looked around and noted that she was in the hospital and safe.

"You had us all worried," Sakura said walking in.

"Aunt Sakura, Sarada…what happened?" Aiko asked, she could barely speak.

"Don't strain yourself. Well, those guys were draining your chakra. They almost got it all and that's why you had to be hospitalized," Sakura replied. Aiko thought in silence, trying to remember what happened.

"Uncle Sasuke?" she asked.

"As soon as we found out that you were missing, it's like papa knew. He told us that he'd bring you back," Sarada answered. Aiko smiled.

"Naruto," Sakura greeted.

"Lord Seventh," Aiko and Sarada greeted.

"How are you, Aiko-chan?" Naruto asked. Aiko nodded, forcing a smile.

"I'm okay," she replied.

"So, you awoke your Sharingan," Naruto noted. Aiko just nodded.

"It's because she almost died…" Sarada said solemnly. The room was quiet for a while.

"Aiko-chan. Do you want to train? To become stronger?" Naruto asked. Aiko looked up at him silently. It wasn't even a question. It seemed that being the last of the Uchiha had its dangers. Maybe that's why her father hid her away from the world.

"Yes, I don't want to burden anyone anymore," Aiko said.

"Aiko-chan, you're not a burden," Sakura quickly said.

"It's true, Aiko-san, you are precious family," Sarada chimed in.

"I appreciate that, but I want to be stronger. I don't want something like this to ever happen again," Aiko but in. Everyone was silent.

"Well, we should let Aiko rest, she just woke up after all," Sakura said, breaking the silence.

"Right. Aiko-chan, when you are better, come to my office," Naruto said. Aiko nodded and he let himself out.

"If you want training, I can help you," Sarada said happily. Aiko smiled lovingly at her younger cousin.

"Alright then, Aiko-chan, get some sleep, we'll talk later," Sakura said motioning for Sarada to leave with her.

"Rest up, Aiko-san," Sarada smiled as her and Sakura left, closing the door behind them.

"My family," Aiko sighed lovingly. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Aiko-chan, Sasuke is back…I know you wanted to talk with him," Sakura said. Aiko was visiting them when Sasuke arrived.

"You have things to ask," Sasuke said. Aiko nodded and walked up to him. Sasuke motioned for Sakura and Sarada to leave them alone in private.

"Y-yes…uncle Sasuke, please! Tell me the truth…what happened to my father?" Aiko asked. Sasuke pursed his lips.
