A/N I was feeling generous today so I posted 2 chapters. I hope you like them. No warnings, but the momentum is gearing up. Enjoy.

Orochimaru said, "Sasuke, she doesn't know who she is, what she is or where she came from."

Huh? What's he talking about? Raylin thought as she looked at Orochimaru.

Sasuke bellowed, "Raylin, get up. Now. I need to know something." I guess the fight's over, Raylin though. She rose and turned to him scowling, her sharingan still active. Orochimaru was moving toward them, but was making no attempt to stop either of them from doing anything. In fact, he was smiling as he approached them. There was great confusion all around him, and he was the only one who knew what was going on. He couldn't wait to see what they'd do to each other.

Sasuke began to pace. "You're 18 now right?"

"Yes," Raylin answered.

Sasuke mumbled to himself, "You must have gotten out before,"

"Before what? What are you talking about Sasuke?"

"But I don't remember you. You weren't there."

"SASUKE!" Raylin shouted at him, grabbing him by the shirt, "What the hell are you talking about?"

Sasuke turned to Orochimaru, "She doesn't know. How can she not know?"

Raylin released Sasuke and shouted at both of them, "What don't I know?" At Orochimaru she shouted, "What have you been keeping from me?"

Orochimaru answered glibly, "Sasuke, maybe you should tell her. I'll leave you too alone, as long as you promise not to kill each other. I need you both. I'll only leave you both with this bit of information. Sasuke, she's half." They both looked at him quizzically as he left.

Raylin turned back to Sasuke who looked like he was about to pass out, from fighting and anguish. He mumbled, "I was all that was left, except for Itachi." As she watched his confusion and obvious pain, her anger cooled, and changed to concern for him.

"Sasuke, start at the beginning. Please, what is this? What's happening, and what don't I know. I'm half. Half what?"

"Half Uchiha."

"What's Uchiha?"

"It's my clan. I'm the last survivor after my brother murdered the entire clan; at least I thought I was. It's my job to kill him, that's why I'm here, to gain power, because he's too strong. Your father or mother must have been Uchiha."

"But how can you tell?"

"I wondered when I first met you. You have the same hair as me, same eyes, but we're not related as far as I can tell. We're just from the same people."

"Lots of people have the same hair and eyes and are not related Sasuke, that doesn't make me Uchiha."

"Yes, but this does," his eyes reflected her own sharingan, "this is our bloodline trait. You are definitely Uchiha." Her sharingan disappeared as she brought her hand to her mouth in disbelief as she looked into the same eyes as her own. "This changes everything."

She agreed, "Yes it surely does."
