"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.
