Kioko sighed heavily, sitting against the wall, listening to the distant cat fights. It was quite down this ally way, which was an un likely thing fo Konoha. She ran a hand through her hair a blew through her lips, annoyed that Itachi had just up and left her again. Her eyes popped open, her face turning a slight shade of pink as she questioned herself as to why she was thinking about that atrocious, mind numbingly vicious, hot-

No.

She smacked her forehead and groaned, hitting her skull on the brick wall. She had to stop thinking about him. All her 'mean' thoughts towards Itachi kept being jumbled and changed to thoughts that made her wan to jump his bones at every meeting. She chuckled to herself, remembering how 'inappropriate' it is for a woman to think of such things.

"For only a man," she began to recite the words that her mother had said once before, "can, and will, dream of his bed business, a woman should just focus on pleasing him when it comes to such business." Kioko couldn't help but laugh at her mother for being so old fashioned. After all, when Sasuke showed up, every girl in town thought of 'bed business'. She let out an amused sigh, laying her head back and looking through the long hallway of bricks that lead to a red sky.

It would be nightfall soon, she wondered slightly where Itachi could have gone.

"Kioko."

The girl jumped and grabbed the place over her chest where her heart was, before crippling over and grabbing her side. She glared up, her eyes and facial expression's spelling death for the being who had just said her name. Her glare dropped when she realized it was just Kisame. She squinted, he looked more human than usual, his blue exterior hidden. "Kisame?"

The man nodded. Kioko caught her breath before standing up and walking over to the tall man. She grabbed his chin a cranked his head side to side. She smiled and gave him a pat on the cheek, realizing it really was Kisame.

Kisame gave a frown, wrinkling his nose and rubbing his throbbing jaw. He had to admit, she had a stronger grip then most men. Kisame silently chuckled, pondering whether he should as Itachi if she was the dominate one in bed.

Kioko waved a snapping hand in his face, one hand placed on her hip. Kisame snapped from his thoughts and looked at Kioko. "Itachi went off to see Kin." he simply stated, shrugging slightly. His face bent into a vicious, feral smirk as he watched Kioko's face twist with anger and jealousy. Without a word, she took off, her goal to find Kin, and possibly kill her.

She took no time to question her sudden hostile thoughts towards her old friend, as her clenched fists pumped. Her arms were outmatched by her legs, which were propelling her at a quick speed. Sliding to a stop Kioko touched the screen to the ANBU base, well 'secret' base. She still questioned why the hell they called it a secret base, everyone in Konoha knew about it. She slid it open and rushed in, ready to knock out whomever stood in her way.

With Kin and Itachi

Kin must have done a lot of sweet talking or a lot of ass kissing, for she was now being held in Itachi's powerful arms (God, I made Kin such a whore, I feel bed now xD). Kin smirked to herself as a few fake tears found their way down her face. Itachi was silent, even he couldn't stand to see a woman crying. Perhaps that's why he had killed his mother with everyone else, so he would not have to endure the painful sight of seeing her morn. Kin cried a few things that sounded like a dog whining before bursting out crying even harder.

Itachi's face was bent into a confused "what-the-hell-should-I-do?" look as he shushed her. Kin brought her face up, kissing Itachi, who was stunned. He was basically frozen with shock as Kin moved her hands down the front of his kimono, the obi slowly loosening and the kimono giving away. Itachi brought his arms up to the girls shoulders and pushed her away, his eyes narrowed.

"What the hell?" He hissed, his teeth clenched. Kin just gave an amused smirk before leaning up to his face. Her warm breath tickled his cheeks as she mouthed things at him. He scooted back, inserting his foot into her abdomen.

"Aw what's wrong?" She cooed, lifting his foot over her shoulder. Itachi fought back the urge to yell rape, after all, he'd most likely regret how yelling rape would make him look.

Back with Kioko

She stormed out of the base, her teeth grinding with every step. She rounded a corneer, knowing there was only one place left to check; Kin's home.

The home was down the street from thee base, but as usual, the streets were crowded with shoppers of all sorts. Kioko shoved her way through, knocking people down, the sound of glass and other things breaking against the stone echoed into the red sky. Kioko was determined to get there, no matter what the cost. She wasn't expecting Sasuke to show up though.

The young man lashed out, grabbing Kioko's wrist, his grip tightening. "Dammit, I'm not letting you go to him. Your mine." He cursed, his eyes narrowed, words dripping from his mouth like snake venom. Kioko, wrenched her arm, ignoring the fiery burn that made it's way up her arm as she pulled away. She grabbed her wrist and growled. She didn't have time for this, she knew Kin all to well.

Back with Kin

Itachi's elbows sat behind him, bent as far as they could go. His teeth were clenched his eyes narrowed. Kin kept getting closer and closer, until Itachi felt his shoulders pop, sending his body to the bed. He groaned in pain, grabbing a shoulder, maneuvering his fingers around the blade, trying desperately to pop the protruding rotator cuff back into it's socket. He bit his lip as the snap of the cuff enter the socket filled the room. He reached his opposite hand over, his fingers placed, ready to pop the cuff into place.

Kin lowered his arm, pressing his bad one to his side. He wriggled slightly, hissing as pain rippled up his spinal cord. His head began to pound as the cold room air hit his chest. Kin smiled a devilish smile, her painted lips curling into her dimples (This is where the song "Crazy Bitch" By Buck Cherry can be applied LOL, in fact...that's what I'm listening to XD). "Let me help you with that." Her voice was venomous, it slid from her mouth like goose fat.

Itachi gritted his teeth. "You psycho bitch." He hissed, whipping a hand up and slapping her face. She fell off him, hitting her head against the wall. Itachi slung his feet over the side of the bed and jumped up, his arm still limp, hanging by his side.

If he was going to stop Sasuke from getting to Kioko he'd have to kill Kin first.

Next time

Kin and Itachi have drawn the battle lines, now it's war.

In the mean time our focus reverts back to Kioko and Sasuke.

What exactly is Kioko in danger of, and how does it involve Sasuke?
