Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Only the plot.

Lyn: Ookie…I'm actually thinking of not killing Naruto. I'm thinking of maybe a 'fake death' kind of thing. Oh well, hope you like this chapter.

Face To Face (Revelation of the Uchiha Clan's Dark Past)

As soon as she took seven steps in the room, the door went shut. 'Smuck.' She turned around, but was met with a gun on her forehead. She was secretly impressed. 'Hm, not bad for a pampered idiot.' She dropped her gun, and smirked at the heir, who got caught off guard.

"Well, Uchiha-sama, aren't you going to kill me now?" Her eyes were still emotionless, and as she made eye contact with the heir, he saw that his eyes held no emotion as well.

"Before I do that, I just want to know…why? What did I do to you?" She smiled. A devious smile. "Uchiha-sama, this is strictly business. I do not have anything personal against you. I need to do this to survive." Why the hell was she even disclosing information with her target? Even she was surprised at the words that came out of her mouth. Sasuke, for his part, had his eyes almost as large as saucers. She almost laughed. "So, you are part of the organization that killed my brother?" When she nodded, his face contorted with anger. "WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU?! WHAT COULD ALL OF YOU HAVE AGAINST US?!" She nearly choked from shock. The Uchiha heir had no idea as to what Akatsuki had against them?! Oh Kami, this guy wasn't disclosed with that? Hell, even she knew why!

Flashback

The first time she joined the organization, Leader-sama explained to her why.

"We are the Akatsuki Assassination Organization, Akatsuki for short. One of our primary goals is to bring the demise of the Uchiha Clan, one of the most prestigious clans of Konoha. They killed our president's family, as of many of this organization's officials. As you are now agents of our organization, you will aid us in defeating them, by hook or by crook. Dismissed."

End Flashback

As soon as she related the information to Sasuke, he only shook his head. "I don't know what you're talking about! My brother and I were never informed of anything like that!" Suddenly, Ino felt second thoughts about killing this man. Nothing that personal, except that that was also the reason she had been brought to the organization, her parents were killed because of their ancestor's wrongdoing, which neither she or Naruto had any idea what it had been. She sighed, letting her woman's intuition take over.

"Uchiha-sama, I will leave you unharmed." At Sasuke's eyebrow raising, she sighed and sat on a chair in the room. "I was forced in the organization. My parents were killed because one of our ancestors had caused the death of one of the organization's officials, and my brother and I were dragged in there. It seems that your case as well. I shall go Uchiha-sama, and say that I was not able to even lay a finger on you. Take care, and be on your guard." As she turned to the window, Sasuke suddenly caught her wrist. She turned to him. "What is your name, miss?"

"Uzumaki Ino, Uchiha-sama." For the first time in 5 years, Ino smiled, genuinely.

"Call me Sasuke, Uzumaki-san." Even his lips formed a small smile.

"And call me, Ino." He let go of her wrist, and told her, "I wish you good luck Ino. I hope I see you again, although not in a life or death situation. And arigatou for sparing my life."

"Me too, Sasuke. Me too." She jumped out the window, and landed on the next rooftop.

'Oh, smuck. What'll I tell Leader-sama?!'

Lyn: Okay, their first interaction! Hope you guys like it! And thanks for the awesome reviews!
