"The name is Suteki.", she repeats. "Why are you telling me now?" Sasuke asks. "Because…I can hate you."

2 years pass since their first encounter and since they have been with Orochimaru. They have been practicing together all that time. Orochimaru is starting to make preparations.

Sasuke walks toward the dead end entrance to his opponent's quarter. He had begun to

look forward to these training practices even more than training with Orochimaru. He

could feel and see the difference in his strength from how he used to be and he is sure

that leaving Konoha was the best move for him because he probably wouldn't be nearly

as strong as he is now. It is almost time, he thinks to himself. The time was drawing near

for his revenge and the barriers of his brother's skill versus his skill were blurring rapidly.

As he approached the door he could see it was cracked slightly open and he could hear

the battle cries of his opponent. Good, he thought smiling inwardly, she's warmed up…this should

make for an interesting battle today. He was pleased with his opponent and not many

things pleased him. He never figured out why Orochimaru kept her existence from his other

subordinates and only allowed himself and Kabuto know about her, but it did not matter

to him one way or the other. As long as she continued to be interesting and a good

opponent then he was satisfied. Every time he fought her he learned something new. She

was doing very well strengthening her weaknesses. When he first fought her, he was

under the impression that she had no weaknesses because neither his sword with Chidori

nor his Sharingan worked on her. As soon as he walked in their battlefield that

Orochimaru made for them in their new hideout their blades collided. "Good you're ready",

said Sasuke. "Always... I live and breathe for this", replied Suteki. As their battle unfolds,

minutes quickly turn into hours, yet neither of them seem to notice. Finally, as they reach

another stalemate, Sasuke walks towards the door to leave and go to his room to rest.

"Wait…I'm not done…we're not done, let's keep going", she says as she punches the floor

where he was last standing. He is now facing the door behind her. "We're human and

you obviously need rest", he replies. "When is the last time you slept?", he questions her. "It doesn't

matter", she replies as she turns to face him, "I don't have time for that." As he focuses more

he sees the bags under her almond slanted eyes that became more prominent now that he

paid attention contrasting against her pale white skin. He saw determination set on her heart shaped

face. She wears her hair flipped to one side covering the left side of her face as it flowed

to her chest. The rest of her midnight purple hair was pinned up in the back as the over

flow ran down to the center of her back. He found out her hair was purple when he saw

her in the light outside because even in the dimly lit room it looked black. Her hair that was pinned up was a

purple clip that matched her purple kimono. Her kimono was different than his traditional one. It

was tight fitting and it had a high collar and it fit snugly to her high protruding chest held together by three black

buttons, it is now called a Chinese dress. The front was fully covered, yet the back was revealed and shaped like a

crescent moon connected with a five point star. The dress was long and it ran all the

way down to her ankles yet it had a slit on the sides of it that ran all the way up to

her mid thigh, the loose flaps drifted easily between her legs exposing her legs for the

most part. By any standard she was beautiful. He remembered when he first saw her she

acted like an arrogant pampered princess yet she still was beautiful then. For the 2 years that

he had known her thus far, he never really fully assessed her looks until now. Right now she

needed sleep because the bags under her eyes were a big contrast to her pale skin. "We're

done…you need sleep", he says with a little more authority. "How dare you tell me what I need",

she says frowning as she punches the place where he was standing creating a huge crater in

the floor. "If you keep loosing your temper and going on like that we won't have a place

to train anymore…", you said Sasuke starts only to be interrupted. "I can't stop…I can't rest…not

until I kill him. I must kill him." Just then she collapses and Sasuke catches her in his

arms before she hits the floor. "Him?", he asks as he steadies her against him. She looks up

at him and then down as she clenches her fist and replies, "yes him…Seishu…my

brother." His eyes go wide in surprise, "your brother…you must kill him!?", he states and

asks at the same time. "Yes!", she looks in his eyes and then looks back down.
