Kioko sat up slightly and stared at Itachi. She was a bit surprised at the odd change in facial expression. She looked at him, her body giving off the impression that she was listening. Itachi closed his eyes and lowered his head down. "I have to tell you about Kin." He said looking up.

Kioko sat straight up at this. She questioned herself, did she really want to here what he had to say? Itachi took a few steps to the river side. He was silent for a few minutes. Kioko stared at his head, waiting for the explanation.

"Kin was..."He paused, "she was my teammate...and my...secret lover" Kioko didn't gasp. She stared a bit blinded by th tears that were threatening to fall. She steadied herself up, only to fall back down. Itachi grabbed her before she hit the ground.

Kioko growled slightly before batting his hand away. "What the hell do you mean?" She snapped before falling completely to the ground. Itachi pulled up a bit. He recoiled a bit in surprise before narrowing his eyes.

"I thought I'd be able to trust you " He said with an angered tone. Kioko looked at him her eyes

watering.

"Well how should I react ?"

"I figured you may just ask me if we still were "

"Well I guess you thought wrong "

"I don't need shit from you "

"Then why the hell are you still here ? I can get back to the village "

"That's fine, go back to Sasuke Go back to hell "

With that Itachi walked off. Kioko huffed and lay down with her eyes shut. "What a jerk " She muttered to herself before dozing off.

With Sasuke and Kin

"Dammit!"

A voice rang out over the hallways echoing in the black shadows.

"Calm down"

This time a woman's voice whispered calming words that were, like the yells, consumed by the vast shadows.
The voices came from Sasuke's room, there Kin sat behind Sasuke rubbing his shoulders. She looked a bit worried as she searched Sasuke's face. He was paranoid about something. Though this fact was not surprising, Sasuke was just add in that way. Every little thing paranoid him, though this time Kioko is missing. Kin sighed heavily and walked over to the small covered window.

"Sasuke, your going to get sick with no sunlight shining in here." Said Kin spreading the curtains. Sasuke said nothing, he just stay silent and still his body tense. Kin sighed again and stepped back over to Sasuke.

"We'll find her Sasuke, I promise."

Back With Kioko

Kioko groaned slightly before opening her eyes. She sat up, it was night fall now and Itachi was no where in sight. She stood up and stretched, before peering around in the dark. She lifted a dark brow, Itachi had been serious about her returning. She wrinkled her nose in annoyance, what was his damage anyway? Leaving her out here with no weapons to defend herself. She smirked to herself, it'd serve him right if she was to die right now.

She shrugged off the thought and walked forward, listening for the river, she would rather not fall in. She jumped as a pair of hands grabbed her from behind. "What the-!" She was cut off by the feel of a harsh kiss. She batted at the unknown, hopping to pry it off. It didn't work, the figures hands trailed down her sides, playing with the bottom of her shirt.

Kioko flailed slightly, her attempts becoming desperate. The figure broke away, his red eyes shining. Kioko was stunned at who it was. "S-Sasuke?" Her voice trembled as memories flooded her brain. Sasuke smirked, his glowing crimson eyes narrowing slightly.

"It's about time I found you." His voice was stern and frightening. Kioko backed away slightly, to shaken up to speak. Her lips mouthed silent words, they called out Itachi. Sasuke's smirk grew, he saw her fear and her desperate silent cries. He caressed her cheek, whispering things in her ear as he playfully nibbled at it's lobe.

Kioko shivered and tried to speak again, her voice still no where to be found. She pushed him back, her eyes wide. "W-What do you want?" Her voice was shaky but strong. Sasuke let out a chuckle before grabbing her arm and twisting it. She yelped slightly as her skin began to burn like fire.

"You will return with me." He ordered his voice stern, his teeth bared. Kioko opened her mouth, her voice more then willing to scream. Her mind raced as her heart began to beat faster.

"I-!" Her sentence was cut off by a forceful slap to the face. Unconsciously her hand reached up to her red, burning cheek.

"Go ahead call for him. I'll kill you before he can even think of helping." The words were hissed out with venom. Kioko's eyes watered slightly, she realized there was no escape. Sasuke brought a hand around her neck, his grip tightening.

"Just go to sleep." His words were full of amusement as the girl began to squirm. She choked slightly, trying to spit out a sentence. He smirked and removed his hand as her eyes shut.

"See not so bad, was it?" Sasuke let out a chuckle before tossing the girl over his shoulder and heading into the dark forest.

Somewhere with Itachi & Kisame

Sandals crunched in the twigs, animals stirred slightly as the cloaked figures passed. "Itachi," Began Kisame, "Did you really just leave her there?" His voice was slightly tinted with worry. Itachi didn't answer, instead he quickened his pace. Kisame followed behind him, keeping his pace to match his partners. "Well?" This time he grabbed the back of his cloak, "answer me." His voice was full of rage.

"Why the hell do you care so much?" Spit Itachi his voice cold.

"Itachi, I know you don't wanna leave her there." Replied Kisame, frowning slightly. Again Itachi was silent, he growled slightly, annoyed at what Kisame had said. Kisame let off a slight smile, he realized even Itachi had a bit of a heart.

"Sasuke's already found her, if were going to go after her, we might as well head to Konoha." With that, Itachi swatted Kisame's hand from his cloak and continued walking.

Konoha

The voices were low, one was Kin, I could pick out her obnoxiously high pitched cords anywhere. The other was low and cold, Sasuke. I opened my eyes, only to be greeted by a blinding white light.

Kin was staring at Kioko, her eyes full of worry. "You had us worried." She said, her hands crossed over the middle of her chest. Kioko peered up at her, rubbing an eye and yawning slightly. Sasuke stood in the corner, his arms crossed in front him.

"Kin," He began, straightening up and walking towards Kioko, "go tell the nurses she's awake." Kin nodded and made her way to the door. Sasuke sat down on the edge of the bed, his sandaled feet clicking against the white tile floor. Kioko sat up, wincing at a slight pain that rippled through her abdomen.

"Sasuke, what the hell did you do to me!?" Her voice was full of pain as she grabbed her side. Sasuke chuckled slightly.

"Well I had to make it look realistic." He smirked.
