A/N: Hello again. Whew! Here we go, time to ramp it up again. Only a mild warning for reference to sexual circumstances. Time to see what else our heroine is capable of. Enjoy!

Sasuke slept wrapped around Raylin. She watched him sleep, brushing his bangs away from his face to look at him. I love him she thought as she recalled their passion. He's so still, so quiet now. Not the bristling angry boy who came here two years ago. I'd do anything for him. I'd die for him. She watched him quietly until she drifted off herself.

A knock at the door woke them both in the morning. They scrambled to get up, both not believing the other was there in bed with them, then they remembered what they'd gotten up to last night. They both paused momentarily to stop and look at each other for just a second, until the knocking at the door resumed. Raylin yelled, "Just a minute, I'll be right there." She dashed to the door, while Sasuke walked around looking for his clothes. She opened the door to a tray of breakfast, for two. She yelled over her shoulder, "Sasuke. Come here."

He ran to the door, "What is it?"

"Look." She pointed at the two portions of breakfast.

"He knew I was here all along. It's what he wanted. Bastard."

She grabbed his face and turned it to her, "Sorry, but it's what I wanted, and what I hope you wanted too."

He softened a bit, "I did. I really did." She smiled and scooped up the breakfast. On it was a note. It read,

"Good morning both of you. Eat up, get ready, and meet us in the training area in an hour."

Sasuke said, "Orochimaru."

"Yep. You going to teach me chidori today?"

"You bet I am. You going to mold lava today?"

"Just watch me."

They ate and then showered together. They playfully soaped each other's bodies, a little too well, which sent them dripping and wet back to bed for another love making session. Another quick shower later, left them with just enough time to get to the training area. Kabuto and Orochimaru were waiting for them when they got there.

Orochimaru said, "Just in time. I trust you had an, enjoyable evening?" Raylin looked at him, smiling and raised her eyebrows. He said, "Was it everything you expected?"

She said looking at Sasuke, "And then some." Sasuke looked at her, and looked away quickly. The way she looked at him caused a tingle to run from his belly right down his penis, stirring it slightly. But now was not the time, now it was time to train.

Orochimaru continued, "Today, we're going to sit back and watch what you two can teach each other. Go ahead, do whatever you want. Manipulate jutsu, teach each other things. It may be that you are your own best teachers. Go ahead, we'll watch from a distance so we don't get caught in any stray jutsu." He walked away with Kabuto. "Kabuto, this is going to be a momentous day, I can feel it. Our girl already knows three nature elements and I have a feeling we may see more from her today. We'll see what she can teach Sasuke."

Kabuto said, "I wonder if she's figured out how to manipulate that lava technique."

"Knowing her, she's probably found two or three ways to manipulate it. We'll soon find out."

Sasuke and Raylin walked away a bit. She said, "Sasuke, I think you can inject your fire element into your chidori."

"I kind of do that already. It makes my chidori literally come out of every part of my body. It travels in all directions just like fire does, hitting everything in its path."

"Excellent. Teach it to me. The chidori part."

"Every time I think of chidori, I think of Kakashi. He taught it to me because he said we were similar people. Since you and I are similar people, I should be able to teach it to you. Ready?"

"Ready. Let's put on a show."

"Ok, here's how you do it, concentrate the chakra, then do these hand seals, then focus the chakra into one hand only. Then you build up speed and the faster you go, the more damage you do. Then you slam the chidori into anything and it pretty much penetrates all things – including rock. I'll show you. Use your sharingan."

She obliged him, watching as he concentrated, did his hand seals and produced the chidori and it's distinctive sound. She watched him run at the wall, and slam his hand into it creating a large hole.

Orochimaru turned to Kabuto. "If she learns this, I'm going to get worried. Four out of five elements. I hope Sasuke doesn't know earth."

Kabuto said, "So far he doesn't. She'd need someone to teach her and I'm sure you won't."

"No, but you can."

"I won't either."

"Good. She's going to try it. I hope for our sake she can't get it." They continued to watch Raylin as she concentrated, did her hand seals, and they looked on in disbelief as her hand began to crackle. The sound of birds was everywhere, and an angry looking electric ball sat in her hand.

Sasuke yelled at her, "Run! At the wall. Go!" She ran, holding her arm down as she ran. All of them noticed that the chidori grew slightly bigger the more she ran. The faster she ran, the larger it got, until it was the size of a basket ball. She slammed it into the rock, causing the wall to explode and blow outward. As the dust and rubble cleared, she panted as she looked at the hole she'd produced – much larger than Sasuke's. He came up behind her and put his hand on her shoulder, "Remind me to never piss you off."

She turned and chuckled at him and said, "You never could."

Orochimaru stared in disbelief. "What is this girl? Is she some kind of supernatural being? I've never heard of anyone like her in any history ever. She's able to learn anything, and she's almost freakishly strong. She reminds me of Kakashi and Tsunade put together. I have never heard of anyone knowing more than two nature elements, and she's using four. Kabuto, she could destroy us both."

"I know Orochimaru. What will we do with her?"

"It's not what we'll do with her; it's what we'll do with Sasuke. That way, we'll keep her in line."

"Very good. She looks like she's going to try something else now." They watched as she pulled Sasuke close to her and made him squat down.

Raylin said, "I thought this one up last night before you came over. After you came over, I couldn't think about anything but you." She smiled down at him, then she said, "I figured out how to manipulate the lava. This would be a defensive and offensive move. A complete jutsu. I call it, the lava whip technique. Just stay where you are, and you won't get any on you. I have no idea how far it will fly, so I'd better warn them. Orochimaru, Kabuto! Please back away. I'm going to try something that I think may work and I don't know how far it will reach. Please step back as far as you can, I don't want to harm you."

Kabuto said, "Well that's good to know."

Orochimaru replied, "Yes, let's keep it that way." They both backed up close to the exit. They watched her as she began. "She's going to try the lava thing again, but she's not going to point it at the rock?"

"I don't think she is. Watch!"

Raylin did the fireball jutsu seals, injecting the wind element into her breath and infusing the earth element as she expelled her breath in a concentrated stream – almost like she was whistling. Then she spun in a circle two, then three times, radiating a thick rope of white hot lava in every direction, sizzling and burning and melting everything it touched. It would wipe out an entire army of people if she were to be surrounded, and could clear a patch of densely packed forest. Kabuto and Orochimaru stepped back as the lava splattered near them.

Kabuto said, "Nice trick huh? Offensive and defensive – complete jutsu. This girl is amazing."

Orochimaru said, "But she still doesn't control it itself. She's got a little further to go yet to do that."

Sasuke stood up after she finished with the lava, he said, "That was amazing, but can you control the lava itself without using momentum?"

"I think so. I can produce water blades from a pool of water, why not lava blades? I'll try." She concentrated and blew out a large column of lava at the rock walls melting them back further. Then as the white hot lava began to ooze down the wall, she produced another set of hand seals.

"What is she doing?" Kabuto shouted at Orochimaru who was staring intently at his student.

"Watch!"

Raylin stomped her foot causing the lava to leap up off the ground in clumps, then with another set of seals, the clumps lengthened into needles, cooling from white to red and then shot in all directions. The red hot needles pierced the rock, ground and everything all around them. They burned through things, as well as turned to solid rock when cooled.

Suddenly Orochimaru feared for his safety. Kabuto sensed his anxiety. This girl was surpassing them right then as they stood watching. They had underestimated the abilities she possessed and now it was too late to stop her. If they tried to destroy her, or take away the one thing that was precious to her, Sasuke, she could kill them both. Orochimaru still believed that she had some loyalty to him, but he would not cross her now. He would only ask for her help when it came time for Sasuke to hand over his body to him. He had to make sure Sasuke was still willing to do it because he didn't think he could take it by force.

Raylin tried the lava jutsu one more time with a slight variation. This time, she made the stream very thin – rope like, and directed it at the rock, drilling a small hole right into it at least a foot deep, leaving a melting oozing trail of rock coming from the hole. Kabuto said, "Imagine what that would do to a person."

Orochimaru said to his surprise, "I'd rather not."
