Well it took me FOREVER to get this updated, but I didn't have a computer all summer, so deal with it. Anywhooooo, if anyone remembers where we left off, that's great. If not, then why aren't you reading the previous chapter, huh? Meh.

I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS!!!! EXCEPT MY CHARACTER ALARY, SHE'S MINE BISH!!!!!!!! Oh yah, and Lilith owns Lilith.

Sasuke and Alary walked into the village, only to be met by a mob.

"What's going on guys?" Alary asked. She had a very bad feeling about this, but tried to be nonchalant about it. The villagers scowled.

"You know very bloody well what it's about, you demon!" One man yelled. Tsunade quieted him and walked forward.

"Alary, we've become aware that you're a spy. Now, I don't want to jump to conclusions, but a villager said they saw you with a member of the Akatsuki. Care to elaborate for us?" Alary didn't speak. She only looked to Neji, Hinata, and Tenten, who all shook their heads no. Alary glanced sideways at Sasuke, who had no expression on his face. She looked back at Tsunade.

"I'm sorry Hokage-sama, but I'm not a spy. I am nothing of the sort. I will admit to being with an Akatsuki member, but I'm not a spy. If it's alright, I'll just leave and never come back. I never stole information nor would I ever hurt you people." Tsunade looked convinced; she had never thought Alary would be a spy. Dangerous, maybe. But never a spy or a thief. The villagers had other thoughts though. They were all screaming, wishing for her death, for her to be tortured, burnt to death, etc. Sasuke turned to her.

"What happens now?" he asked, whispering.

"I run, and never come back. Same as always."

"Same as always? This has happened before?"

"More than you could ever know."

"My house is pretty big. You know, I wouldn't mind it if-"

"Don't even think that Sasuke. Don't let that idea get into your head, ever." And with that Alary burst into the woods at full speed. The villagers got angry. Tsunade calmed them saying that she was now banned from the village and, if she entered the village, had ten minutes to leave before she was open to kill. The villagers went home, and so did Tsunade. Sasuke stood looking into the forest, sad and confused.

Back to Alary.

She was running through the forest at full speed, trying desperately to reach the Akatsuki base before Sasuke had a chance to catch up. Alary somehow sensed he was going to chase her to try to convince her to hide in his mansion. Which would be totally boring. Besides, she was still confused as to which Uchiha brother she loved. She knew that she had feelings for both of them, she just couldn't decipher which ones were friendly, and which were passionate. Eventually, she got to the Akatsuki base, hoping Sasuke hadn't seen where she entered. Alary was greeted by an ecstatic Konan, who tackled her in a hug.

"Alary!! I missed you!! I was wondering when you'd come back. Why'd it take so long? Usually you have to desert a village much sooner. Were they a bunch of idiots?"

"Hahaha, yeah, they were. Except someone saw me with Itachi and reported it."

"WHAT!? WHO!? I'LL KILL THEM!!!!!!!!" Konan was furious. She thought of Alary as a little sister, and was very protective about her.

"Konan, Konan! Calm down. It was bound to happen eventually." Itachi walked in just then. Konan glared at him. Itachi ignored her and went over to Alary and picked her up (Note: Alary was under Konan from being tackled and hadn't gotten up), shoving Konan aside. Konan glared even more menacingly, blaming him for causing Alary so much trouble, running from village to village. Itachi carried Alary to their room and put her on the bed, lying beside her to speak.

"So how'd they find out?"

"Someone saw me with you."

"I'm sorry."

It's fine. It was bound to happen eventually."

"Took them long enough."

"Konan said almost the same thing." Alary sighed and laid down beside Itachi.

"Something wrong? You seem depressed."

"No, it's just that-I don't know. I'm tired of being hated so much. I wish one village could just accept that I was with you and not hate me. They can be cautious all they want but, I don't know. It's only a pipe dream I guess. No one could ever accept that. But it's not like I'm dangerous. I would never hurt anyone unless absolutely necessary. You know that."

"Yes, I do know that. Unfortunately, I don't know what to say to that. I know I shouldn't be causing you so much trouble, but I can't help it. I don't like being away from you. I can't stand it. I hate seeing you so miserable Alary. I'm sorry."

Alary shifted so that her head was on his stomach. Itachi started petting her. For a while they just lay there, until Alary fell asleep. Itachi got up and pulled off Alary's clothes, except the undergarments, and pulled the sheets up over her chest and watched her sleep. She started talking in her sleep. Itachi got in closer to hear the quiet mumbling.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry…… don't think badly of…just please still…my…ruined……I don't…Itachi…" was all Itachi could hear. How he understood it: "Sasuke, I'm sorry. Please don't think badly of me, just please still be with me, my life has been ruined. I don't want Itachi anymore." The actual translation: "Sasuke, I'm sorry. Please don't think badly of Itachi, I do love him. Just please still be my friend. I ruined so many things, I don't know how to go on, but Itachi is still there for me." Itachi left the base to find Sasuke. Unfortunately, Alary never remembers her dreams.

Well, that was long. Maybe not to you, but long to me. Whatever. Next chapter will be up sometime before next month. :P JK. Probably in the next two weeks, since I'm bored. I'll probably write it tonight. Later peeps.
