A/N Here's a short, but necessary one for you. I'll post two today since this one is so short. No warnings this time.

In the meeting room, Raylin asked rapid fire questions that Sasuke answered along with providing more information where it was needed. She found that the Uchiha clan possessed an almost immeasurable chakra, comparable and in some rare cases, surpassing the legendary tailed beasts. Unfortunately it took time to develop; some developed it quicker than others, thus explaining Itachi's unbelievable strength, as well as Raylin's for that matter.
Raylin finally asked, "Tell me about your brother."
Sasuke turned cold. His face darkened at the mere mention that he even had a brother. He had gone from an animated almost normal person to a stone cold angry statue. He sighed heavily, knowing in his heart that she needed to know this. He told her everything. She sat there silently not believing that a single person could do something so horrible. Then he told her, "That's why I'm here. I need to be stronger than Itachi. That's why I'm going to give Orochimaru my body when he needs it. He'll give me the strength I need and the jutsu to destroy Itachi. Neither one of us can do it alone, but together we should be able to."
Raylin looked at him and said, "What if I don't want you to."
"Don't want me to what?"
"Give him your body."
"But in order for me to obtain the power I need,"
"There has got to be another way. In fact, now that I think of it, there is another way,"
Sasuke looked up expectantly at her, but she changed the subject quickly when Kabuto pushed the door open. "Orochimaru would like to talk to you Sasuke. It's time to get ready for training. Raylin, you're to assist me with some experiments." She closed her eyes looking down. She reached out and put her hands over his as they rested on the table across from her. Just for a brief second she touched him and looked into his eyes. He returned her gaze. She winked at him and mouthed, "There is a way." His face didn't change as she let go of his hands and turned to leave. He wouldn't let Kabuto know anything was up. Raylin called over her shoulder, "Have a good training session Sasuke. Maybe we'll talk again later."
He called back to her, "Alright. Talk to you later." Sasuke got up after Kabuto and Raylin left. He needed to know what this other way was. She knew, and she'd tell him. How was he going to kill his brother without giving his body to Orochimaru? Then his mind drifted to his past. Now that he'd found another clan member, it was possible that the clan could be revived. He'd never looked at her as a potential mate before, but the way she looked today, and the time they spent together told him that she was perfect for him. But on the other hand, if they both chose people outside the clan, they could bring the clan back quicker. He'd just have to wait and see what happened if he gave Orochimaru his body, or not. He was amazed that there was someone just like him in the world, who didn't want him dead. At least for now.

A/N Next up: Raylin does terrible things to Kabuto to gain more information. Oh yeah, here we go.
