When Reiyana left in, Itachi felt something he's never felt in 19 years: guilt.

He had probably really offended her, and now all he felt was sorrow for himself. She was actually quite honorable and he admired her fighting skills, her toughness, although he'd never admit it to anybody, she was indeed a masterpiece of beauty and strength.

He's been studying her everyday he spent in the waterfall village, and he still hadn't seen her true strength.

So, he decided he needed more information on her before he started to pursue her again. He also needed the training if necessary to take her by force if necessary.

Reiyana was deeply offended; she's never been called a whore before, those who even gave her a look lived shortly.

She needed a calm place tonight, she had been traveling a day without food or water. Her anger of Itachi's words still stung, but she pushed that away and concentrated on her present situation.

Finally, the never-ending strawberry green fields came into view. The rice country…I'll stay here. She stopped when she stepped foot on the field, and slowly walked across the soft grass. She stopped when she was in the middle, no trees, just the field, her, and the dark moonless sky. She sat down, listening the night sound for a moment. Abruptly, the chirping of the grasshoppers stopped and every was silent there was a pressure building in her ears.

Something's wrong, damn, don't tell me it's a goddamn DEMON WOLF SUMMONING! FUCK GOD IF THERE IS ONE!

With a low growl she stood up, narrowing her eyes in the direction to her left.

Itachi quickly fled the waterfall village, and settled in the urban village of the rice country. The village was small, for the rest of rice country were either rice harvests or fields of nothing. He rented a small inn on the outsides of the village. Itachi deactivated his Sharingan, it was tiring. Greenery is good for eyesight, so he flipped back the curtains and opened the windows. He looked out into the vast fields, and widened his eyes when he sensed two very different chakra from the rest of the village. There were almost no ninja in the rice country, and if there where, the highest level would be a chuunin.

The two chakra pulses were still there, both slowing as it was slowly drained. One slowed more than the other, to a speed where it was near death, but not yet. It died abruptly. A sight came into view, Itachi sighed and activated his Sharingan again and looked closely.

He growled under his breath. HER AGAIN?

A drop fell on his hand. He looked down, thinking it was rain, but it was red, almost like blood. It's because it is.

She was making her way across the field, she had spotted a nearby village while fighting the wild beast. It took a lot of her, and now Reiayana was staggering towards the village in search of shelter. Should've eaten, now look at me.

Reiyana closed her eyes and used her big gleaming sword as her walker. She felt drops, and presumed it was raining, but the stench was overpowering. She opened her eyes, and only one thing came to her head: Tseto.

Reiyana opened her eyes to reveal…white. No, not white. Pink. And white. Strips. She then realized she was staring into wall paper. She looked around, saw she was lying on a king-sized chrome bed with pink and white sheets. There was a matching vanity table and a washroom.

She was under the covers, and when she tried to get up there was a searing pain in her lower back again. I keep overusing it, I'll die like this.

Reiyana then noticed that she was wearing a hot pink tight nightie that showed a lot of skin. Consider the person who dressed me in this DEAD.

The person…she remembered what she thought of before passing out: Tseto. A young man of nineteen, he earned respect even from the leader of Akatsuki. Tseto, her former mind-abuser. He was her boyfriend, and took advantage of her when she was still young and naïve.

Reiyana's memories, one's that could not be forgotten, no matter how much she tried. He was one of them. She met him through Gatabunta, that time she was sixteen.Tseto hadshowed her fake emotions, she fell in love with him, and went with him. These days Reiyana still wondered how she fell love with him, a cold and ruthless bastard. Maybe because he was so good-looking at that time, and that she knew nothing about love because she spent all day training with Gatabunta. When he killed Gatabunta, Reiyana didn't care less and eloped with him.

The only thing she can thank him for is that he had taught an important lesson: men are all sons of bitches that cheat on women, trick, them, and take advantage. Life was that way, men can stand on their own but woman need someone to turn to in their life.

But, Reiyana knew better. She would stand alone, she didn't need anybody. But, only the gods knew it wasn't true.

So, pushing those dark secrets out of her head, she got up and banged on the door. No answer. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS LET ME OUT!"

The door opened and there stood Tseto, handsome as ever. He had dark eyes, long silver hair, and serious facial features.A lump stuck in her throat, and she widened her eyes.He put two hands up to block the door way, and smiled. He eyed her, looking at her up and down. Her anger boiled, she was wearing something right that showed a lot of skin and now he was looking at her?

"Why did you take me here? Where is my sword? You godforsaken bastard!"

He smirked."You look good in that."

Reiyana lifted her hand to punch him, but he caught it easily. What the hell is wrong with me? My body...it's numbing...

"Oh? You mad at me baby? Don't worry, this time I won't leave you."

"I don't even want you with me" she hissed, fully aware that he had taken a few steps forward.

Suddenly, her head started to spin. She wavered, and it slowed down. Her hand grabbed hold of something, anything, and she felt his arm. He leaned down to her neck and whispered, "I want you".

This sent negative shivers down her back, she hated his guts. "I hate you" she hissed, only to see that he wasn't paying attention. Instead, he was looking at her ass. He now had both of her hands, and she was pinned against the wall. He leaned down to suck on her neck hard.

He must have drugged me, I'm so weak I can't even fight him off…she felt something hard pressing against her thigh, and her stomach grumbled sickly. If I had enough energy I would chop of his friggin long cock and pull out his balls, I swear.

This was some serious drug, she was so weak she couldn't even move her arms and legs, they felt numb. He stripped her, and pinned her on the bed. He grabbed her chin and pushed his big penis in her mouth. Reiyana gagged, and tried to stay calm. It was the best and fastest way to relieve of her drug.He moaned, and then gasped when she tried to bite his cock. The muscles in her mouth were too drugged to work properly, and she ended up arousing him even more.

Knock Knock

Tseto growled under his breath, then asked, "What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?"

"I'm sorry, Yukashi-sama, but an intruder has arrived at our gates and killed our guards. He demands to see the woman you have captured."

Reiyana felt a sigh of relief. Tseto got off of her and dressed. He turned to her with a smile. "Wait for me, I'll be back."

When he left, Reiyana felt the energy slowly returning to her. It was just enough so that she can dress and walk around, but not enough so she could fight her way out. First of all, she needed to find where her sword was, even thought she was dressed in this outfit her clothes are not the first priority.

Her sword was nowhere to be found, so she decided it was time to kill. She could knock down the door, but killing with bare hands, maybe not. Reiyana went towards the vanity table, and it shocked her. Tseto had the cosmetics, toiletries, everything, there. He's planning on using me again. She took a shaver, broke it, took out the blade, and kicked open the door. There was a guard in front of her, and she expertly killed the man using the tiny blade. She needed more energy, so she put her hand on his neck where the cut was.

Her hand glowed black, and in a moment she got all the man's blood and transferred to chakra. She felt a bit better, but his blood was ordinary, nothing refreshing, unlike Itachi's...

She went down the grey colored walls of the halls, dim light leading her way. She checked in every vacant door, and finally came to a door that was unlocked.

Itachi was curious, very curious. He had followed the man that took Reiyana to big mountain, and he disappeared into some doorway.

This must be some underground hideout he thought.

Itachi replayed what had just happened.

The drop of blood he felt was oddly chilling. A few more drops, and the sky rained blood.

He narrowed his Sharingan on her, and she mouthed a word Itachi couldn't make out.

A man about his age appeared beside Reiyana and bended down. He reached a hand out and caressed her cheek, when Itachi felt a twinge of annoyance. He took out a dainty white handkerchief and wiped her face from blood. The silver-haired man said something, and this time Itachi read his lips…he said 'My dear Reiyana'

He did a jutsu Itachi recognized as a chakra force shieldthat protected him against the blood. He tucked his two arms behind her neck and under her knees, turned around and ran. Itachi quickly opened his wooden umbrella, and quietly followed the man using expertly controlled chakra restraints.

Itachi wondered what was the connection between those two. He also found the silver haired man oddly familiar.

Whoever he was and whatever this hideout was about, Itachi was about to find out soon, because he was already attacking the mountain and the guard at the front forcefully. Tseto quickly rushed out, whoever was doing was going to be dead, his hideout was being attacked and he was interrupted with his woman.

He came out of his hideout, to see the only one that he could ever fall into a great fight with…

"Uchiha…Itachi"

Itachi narrowed his eyes. Standing in front of him was his childhood friend and enemy.

"Tseto"

Flashback

"Itachi!"

The ten year old boy turned around, and greeted his best and only friend.

"Hey Tseto. Let's go train."

They arrived at their usual training place, while Itachi practiced throwing kunai and Tseto was studying scrolls. They were always like that, doing that everyday.

They were both prized from their clans, but both hating it. That's their bond. As they grew, they were very competitive. As they did, their friendship quietly faded. Itachi was aware of this, for he did not want to kill a great ninja as Tseto, so he killed his cousin for his Mangekyou Sharingan.

On the night when he massacred his whole clan, leaving only Sasuke, he didn't know why, but he felt like he needed to go to Tseto's. Tseto looked at him with challenging eyes when he opened the door, for they were enemies.

Itachi looked straight into his eyes, and said "I slayed my clan"

Tseto's eyes softened, and had a look of understanding to it.

Itachi left.

End of Flashback

"Give me the girl, Tseto"

"What do you want from her?"

Itachi sighed. "What do you want from her?"

"I don't want anything from her, I just want her."

"Your lying through your teeth Tseto, you want to use her don't you?"

Tseto smiled. "Correction: And use her.You the same then, Itachi"

Itachi also smiled. "Very true. Let's go back seven years."

They stared at each other, both waiting for the other to make the first move. When Itachi moved, so did Tseto. Instead of charging at each other, they broke into a run for the entrance to the hideout.

They were running side by side, their speed matching. "We think alike, Itachi."

Itachi smirked, and made a jump for the cave. He got there first, but Tseto knew the ways though the halls. Tseto raced to Reiyana's room, Itachi hot on his heels. Only too bad for both of them, she wasn't there.

Itachi didn't waste a second and ran off, searching elsewhere. Tseto did the same.

Reiyana kicked the door open, and stopped. This was Tseto's room. She cautiously went in, looking everywhere. Her mind clicked.

Reiyana had to find her sword, using the fastest and most efficient way. When she retrives her sword, she can escape.

Ok, if I were Tseto, where would I put it? I can fight him, but he will have a better advantage when I'm without her sword.

Reiyana broke out of her thoughts and looked in Tseto's closet. Loads of black fabric. She looked into his weapon closet. Many katana, kunai, a few demon wind shurinken, and that's about it. Reiyana took a katana that had a carving of a dragon on it.

This will have to do for a while until I get Yuketosa back.

She ran out, slinking along the walls. She stopped when a corner neared.

Itachi felt something on the other side of the corner. Probably another guard. He turned the corner, when a katana aimed straight for his face. He dodged it, and grabbed the wrist. She had a look of surprise on her face, then it was quickly replaced with anger.

"What are you doing here?" she hissed, then pulled her wrist from his grip.

Itachi first took a look at her outfit, and everything in his mind blanked out.

He had to say somehting, quick. "What are you doing in that outfit?"

Reiyana turned a little red. "Answer my question!"

"I'm here to get you out."

"I don't need you!"

"I do!"

She stared at him like he had two heads.

"The Akatsuki does, anyways, would you rather be with me or be with your kidnapper?"

Reiyana looked down. Of course she would be with Itachi. It's not like he knows what happened between her with Tseto.

"Then let's get going" She said quietly, still looking down.

Itachi was confused. Did he say something wrong?

"Your sword's with Tseto."

Reiyana looked up, alarmed. "You know his name?"

"It's a long story. By the way, you know him?"

"It's also a very long story. I need to get Yuketosa."

"My first priority is to get you out of here, not your sword."

"My first priority is my sword!" She said, her eyes blazing.

Itachi sighed. "If he wants to use you badly he will eventually come and find you, or you can go find him. You're not even fully recovered yet."

Reiyana glanced at him sharply. "From what?"

"What do you mean from what?'

"Recovered from what?"

Itachi sighed. "Your drug."

"How do you know he drugged me?"

"Your running posture."

She frowned.

"Right now you are tired, I can tell. Your legs are not fast, and I can see your spinal cord is not perfectly straight."

They were running towards entrance until Itachi suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her against the wall.

Her head banged, and she felt dizzy. Her vision cleared to see Itachi leaning over her, looking intently at the front entrance.

She blushed on the inside, you can't blame, her, Itachi was a cute boy with good looks after all.

When the coast was clear, Itachi realized she was semi-conscious, so he picked her up and ran out. Reiyana was slowly losing conscious, and the last thing she remembered was leaving her sword, Yuketosa, in the hands of Tseto.

A certain young silver haired man stood on the tip of the mountain, watching his woman in the arms of another man. He seethed, angry that he let Reiyana go, but this was replaced with a sinister thought.

Tseto held her sword hostage, so she would eventually come back for it.

Reiyana awoke. It was cold, for it was only January.

She felt a body beside her, but not touching. Reiyana alarmingly pulled herself in a sitting position, her legs under the covers of a queen sized bed.

Another bed…

She was still dressed in the clothes Tseto put on her, and quickly pulled the covers up once she felt a chill coming from the open window. The person beside her sleeping soundly was…Itachi.

Reiyana drew in a sharp intake of breath and Itachi suddenly sat up, rubbing his eyes.

He was still wearing his cloak, and he wason top of the covers.

He's an alert sleeper…

Reiyana didn't know what to do, so she just glared at him.

"OHhh…" He looked around.

"It's not like that" He said, and stood up.

She turned around, and got up, pulling the blankets along. She sat down on a chair.

"This a hotel?" She finally said.

Itachi nodded. "Rock village. So, are you going to tell me about how you knew Tseto?"

"Just not here." With that Reiyana ditched the blanket and went over to the window. She motioned for him to follow her.

They sat down at the rooftop, side by side, but not touching, staring at the moon.

"…imsorry"

You're sorry for calling me a whore. Reiyana side glanced him, and then returned her stare at the moon.

"So, am I forgiven?"

You want me to forgive you wore calling me a whore. She turned to him again, with obvious irritation in her eyes.

"Are you attempting to make friends?"

Itachi rolled his eyes.

"All I'm trying do to is prevent a fight."

"What, you're afraid?"

Itachi seethed and narrowed his eyes.

"Listen, woman, are you going to tell me the story or not?"

Reiyana paused. If she had to trust someone, it might as well be him.

"I haven't told this to anyone before." She whispered, suddenly losing the edge in her voice.

Itachi's frowned, and continued to listen.

"When I was 16, my sensei Gatabunta took me to a temple. The buddists would perform an art of what we would call somewhat like taijutsu, but called Karate. There was a boy, around my age, who caught my eye.

He was observing some 'karate' when Gatabunta and I came over to him. From his forehead protector, I figured he was a ninja from hidden leaf.

Gatabunta asked what level of ninja he was in. He said Jounin, but looked so young. My sensei wanted a sparring partner other than himself for me, so he asked the boy what he was doing out here.

The boy, seeing that we are also missing-nin, confessed that he slaughtered his entire clan with no survivors left and fled his village. His name is Tseto.

From that day on Gatabunta took him with me, and he taught him his techniques, but never gave him any seals. Tseto was furious, he asked why I got to get the seals, but Gatabunta never gave him an answer.

But, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I fell in love with him."

Reiyana looked down, anywhere. You could almost feel the ticking in Itachi's head, working their way through something.

"But, he was a bastard. He said he loved me, but that was all fake. All he wanted was my body.

He killed Gatabunta, but, I was so stupid I never cared. I just left my sensei dead on the ground and followed Tseto elsewhere."

Reiyana clutched her head in her hands, and shivered when a wind blew her way. Itachi didn't know why, he just took off his cloak and handed it to her.

She looked at him, surprised, and quietly muttered thanks and draped it over her shoulders. She continued.

"That fucker, every day I would train in the woods, spending my time while, waiting for him to come back to me. At night he would come back, to our cabin in the woods, and love me.

One day, he came back, tired. I didn't know what he was doing during the day, but I tried to comfort him. All he did was push me away, saying I'm stupid. At that moment, I realized what he said to me was true, maybe even an understatement."

FLASHBACK

A sixteen year old Reiyana heard the door open, and the man she loved come in. He slumped down on a chair, and closed his eyes.

She went over to him, sat on his lap, and put on a smile she had been practicing in front of the mirror for hours, pondering on which one was more alluring.

She wanted him tonight, for yesterday night all they did was sleep.

"Get off of me, stupid girl"

The cold voice whipped at her. Vision blurring with tears, she stood up, grabbing onto the table.

Her mind suddenly cleared. She now understood everything.

Still sitting on the chair, Tseto was half panicking. He still needed her, he wanted her two seals that Gatabunta had given her.

"I-I didn't mean what I said, c'mon, baby, sorr-"

"STOP! GET THE BLOODY HELL OUT OF MY LIFE!"

Tears streaming down her face, she ran into their room, took some clothes and Yuketosa, and left him.

END OF FLASHBACK

"And, that was how we ended. I went to Hodani."

Itachi remained silent. He was still thinking about how Tseto also slaughtered his clan, just like he himself did. But trying to take use of Reiyana, he knew Tseto changed.

He was not the quiet, shy, boy he was when Itachi knew him.

Everybody changed…
