A/N Hi again. I have some extra time so I'm feeling extra generous. Here's a short one to keep you going. Mild warning for suggestive situations.

Orochimaru entered the room and approached them both, they both said to him, "Why didn't you tell me?"

He smiled and said, "Raylin, I didn't tell you because I feared for your safety. I didn't want Sasuke's brother to find you and finish the job of destroying the entire clan. Sasuke, I couldn't tell you until the time was right. I believe I was right in waiting."

Sasuke growled, "I've been here two years with someone from my own clan right under my nose, and you wouldn't even clue me in? You bastard, you kept us apart on purpose."

"You seem to forget, I offered her to you when you first came here."

"For sex purposes only. I've only seen her, glanced at her over the last two years, and you kept us apart. You had to know I'd find out about her eventually, you never intended to,"

Orochimaru had to diffuse this angry situation immediately. He had had his fun for the day. He looked at him, "Sasuke, we need to continue training now. I need to teach you a few more things as well. Raylin, you can go."

She turned to him as did Sasuke. She said, "But Orochimaru, there are so many things I need to know. May I stay and speak with Sasuke a bit longer?"

He looked at her sternly, a look she was unfamiliar with, and he said, "Not now. You will have your opportunity. You may go speak with Kabuto. I've instructed him to answer all the questions you have about your past and the Uchiha and your sharingan eyes. Go now. I will speak with you later." She nodded and turned, pausing only slightly to glance sideways at Sasuke who was looking at her begging her with his black again eyes not to leave. But she turned and walked away from them, determined to find Kabuto and get some answers.
