"I write for the same reason that I breathe; because if I didn't, I would die." –Isaac Asimov

"You have two decisions. You can either cooperate with us and get a better deal from your sentence or you can make it hard and Ibiki will interrogate you." The Hokage told me. I looked around me. The ANBU surrounded the room and were all looking at me, well from what I could gather. They all had masks on and it was dark. The Hokage and Ibiki stood in front of me to await my decision. I didn't have anything against Konoha, but I needed to get back to Sound and I didn't really want to get mixed up with the whole Hotaru Uchiha thing. I wasn't her and there wasn't anything else to it. So I decided that if I could handle how my father treated me, then I could handle this Ibiki person.

"Hn." Was all I said. The Hokage looked at Ibiki and then stepped back a little until I couldn't see her because of how dark the room was.

"I'll start off easy then. Your name?" He stood in front of me, staring at me. I was used to it though and stared right back at him. Sure, he had a few scars on his head, but I had seen worse. He didn't scare me. I didn't see the harm in answering the simple questions, so I answered.

"Hotaru." I felt multiple ANBU stiffen and Ibiki narrowed his eyes.

"Surname." Hmm, that was a tricky one. My father didn't have a last name, thus neither did I. I knew they wanted to clarify that I wasn't Hotaru Uchiha, but they wouldn't get that answer from me. I knew who I was, if they didn't believe me before, then why would they now?

"Don't have one." Ibiki continued to stare at me deciding if he believed me or not. I waited; it wasn't like I had anything better to do. Interrogations were boring, making me wish they had just put me in prison so I could just escape already.

"Are you Orochimaru's daughter?" Really? They already knew this information; they didn't need to ask me all of the irrelevant questions. It wasn't like I was really going to answer most of them anyway, but this was just pathetic.

"Hn." Ibiki grabbed a chair from somewhere in the room and sat in front of me. It didn't make any difference whether he was standing or sitting to me, but whatever.

"If you are his daughter, then why did you kill him?"

"You already know that answer." I said with a glare. He smirked. Maybe he thought he finally got something out of me, but I didn't think so.

"Why do you have Madara's Sharingan?" And the real questions started, finally. Interrogators always started with boring questions, I mean they never really got any better, but at least he was finally trying, even if I wasn't going to answer him. They all should know how I got them. I was with Orochimaru for Kami's sake. I stayed silent and Ibiki sighed.

"I thought maybe you would try to cooperate a little, but if you want to do this the hard way. So be it." He stood up, knocking the chair he was in over. He started to make signs and I knew them. I smirked while he was making the signs and he continued with the signs, but with an eyebrow raised. I knew I was making him weary.

"Itami!" (Pain) Ibiki said as he finished his hand signs. Then I felt it. The pain all over my body. It felt like I had been killed multiple times over in very painful ways. I gasped and shut my eyes. I knew the genjutsu would only last about 5 seconds, so I only had to wait it out. Finally the pain was gone and I let out my breath I was holding. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at Ibiki's smirk. But then I smirked, whipping his off of his face.

"Why the hell are you smirking?" He was confused, but it made sense, since he didn't know me.

"You think a little pain will make me talk. Konoha shinobi are weak, you think you are good just because you can cause some pain on someone. Ha, this isn't even pain." I said. He didn't show any anger though, like I thought he would show. His face was indifferent, but he walked toward me until he was right next to my ear.

"You think that was pain? That wasn't even the half of it. I hope you are ready to feel more pain than you have ever imagined." Then he was in front of me again. He had a lot to learn about me if he thought I was going to succumb to him.

"Shimoyake no Jutsu." (Frostbite Technique) I had heard of this before in a book I had read. It gave the illusion that the person the jutsu inflicted was covered in a sheet of ice around their whole body. Making it the person very cold and even think that they were about to die, but of course, it was only an illusion. I waited and then I saw the ice form on the floor and make its way toward me. I looked at Ibiki and saw indifference again. Then the ice touched my feet. I looked down and saw it slowly cover my calves, my knees, and then finally my stomach. It stopped at my shoulders. I looked up and waited for Ibiki to say something, but he didn't. He was waiting for me to give in, to tell him to stop. I wasn't going to do that.

After about ten minutes, from what I could tell without a sense of time, I was beginning to get a little cold, but it wasn't anything new. In the hideouts that I had stayed in, it was always cold and damp. After time my body got used to the cold, so this jutsu wasn't affecting me much. After a little while later, Ibiki finally spoke, upon seeing me shiver a little.

"How is the cold, Miss Hotaru?" I didn't answer. Yes, I was getting a bit colder, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. The only thing I was worrying about getting out of Konoha and getting back to Sound. I knew there were other shinobi that wanted to take over Sound, so I had to get there and claim it before they did. If they did though, I could always kill them. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the Hokage talk.

"Hotaru. You can either tell us everything we want to know now or I will have Itachi finish this interrogation." Whoa, they were bringing Itachi into this. I looked at the Hokage and smirked. She shook her head and motioned Ibiki to let go of the jutsu. He did and I felt the warmth come back to my body. Then Itachi stood in front of me. I didn't look into his eyes yet, though. I knew he was going to say something first and I was right.

"I will give you one more chance. Tell us everything you know about the kidnapping of Hotaru Uchiha." Then I looked into his eyes, his Sharingan eyes. I didn't say anything and the next thing I knew, I was on a cross.

I looked around to see only red. It was almost exactly like my world, but my world was blue. I then noticed Itachi in front of me.

"You will have 72 straight hours of torture." Then he was gone. If I didn't have the chakra restraints on me, I could have gotten out of his Mangekyo Sharingan, but I didn't have enough chakra. Suddenly I was surrounded by over a hundred of katanas. I breathed in a small breath and held it as the katanas pierced me.

I slumped a little I my chair, but I didn't scream. The pain was horrible, but I already knew what unbearable pain felt like. Finally, the pain stopped. I didn't have a lot of energy to try to fight, as much as I wanted to, my chakra was almost depleted and the pain did not help.

"What do you know about Hotaru Uchiha?" This time, it was the Hokage. I looked up a little and looked at her in the face.

"Nothing." She raised an eyebrow.

"How could you know nothing about her? You lived with Orochimaru your whole life, no?" She was skeptical about my answer. But everything I did remember was all a blur. Yes I did remember a girl that looked like me and was killed, but did I remember who she was or even if she was an Uchiha? No. I didn't remember much of my past. Wait … why didn't I remember my past. I narrowed my eyes as I tried to think. I couldn't remember anything about my past before I was four. But that wasn't possible, everyone remembered something about when they were younger, even if it was a small detail, they still remembered. But I did not. It made no sense. I was too much in my own thoughts to notice the Hokage walk up to me and grabbing my chin to make me look at her in the eyes.

"What?"

"I do not know of any Hotaru Uchiha. I have seen multiple experiments my father has dealt with, but I have never seen an Uchiha." She let go of my shin and stepped back.

"Kakashi, Itachi, you will take her to a cell. After you have done so, come to my office. And Itachi, bring you parents." Kakashi walked up to me and undid the binds on my arms and then put on different chakra restraints once I was standing. Itachi was to my right and Kakashi to my left. I felt every pair of ANBU eyes on me as we left the room. We walked down the stairs and continued in the same building for another hundred feet or so and then we came upon a different set of door that led to more stairs. We walked down the stairs and into, what looked like, catacombs. As we walked, I noticed that there weren't many prisoners. Every cell that we passed was empty. There was about one other person down there with me.

Kakashi and Itachi stopped walking about halfway down and unlocked a cell door. Once opened, I walked in and so did Itachi. I looked at him for a moment to see what he was doing, but then he reached for my restraints and took them off. Was he serious? He didn't honestly think that I would stay if I had my chakra back, did he? But then he did some signs and grabbed my right wrist. There was a glow and then he let go. I looked down to see a small tattoo on my wrist. It was a crow.

"It is my own chakra restraint. I would not recommend you try to escape." And with that they shut my cell door and left. I looked around and saw a toilet, a bed that had no sheets or pillows, and that was it. It was very bare, but it was a prison cell, so I didn't expect more. Sat in the middle of the floor and started to meditate. Meditation always helped me think of ideas, so why would it be any different now?

I meditated for about a half an hour before I thought of a few things. The first one being that they didn't take away my sleeveless cloak. The second being that I had a scroll hidden and half my chakra to try some things and the last being that the crow on my wrist didn't seem too harmful, so it wouldn't hurt if I tried some ways of escaping. I looked in my cloak and found the scroll my father gave me before he died. It was about summoning a snake … the size of the owner's choice. I sat down and unrolled it on the floor. I would be able to summon a small snake, but only once, because of my limited amount of chakra. I bit my thumb and spread my blood on the scroll. There was a puff and then in front of me was a medium size black cobra.

"Who dare sssummon me?" The snake looked at me.

"I am Orochimaru's daughter and I summoned you." The snake stopped slithering toward me and stared at me through its black eyes.

"Where issss your father?"

"Dead." The snake's eyes widened a bit as it continued to look at me.

"Why did you sssssummon me?"

"I need to get out of here and I need you to do some recon for me. What is your name?" It stayed still for a while and then it answered me.

"Lilith. Fine, but know thisss. I will not do everything for you." Then Lilith was gone. She slithered out of my cell and went to the door that led out. After so long, I lost sight of her. I sat back down on my bed and thought about what my next plan was going to be, but then I felt something. Chakra, lots of it. There was a fight going on. Then Lilith came back.

"There isss a fight between Konoha and SSSound. I musssst go." With that, she left. 'Great help.' I thought sarcastically. There was only one thing I could do, escape while there was a distraction. I had less than half of my chakra, but it would suffice. I started hand signs and gathered chakra in my fist. I ran full on and the iron bars and punched them. They broke into a hundred pieces and I stood up and looked at my work. There was a hole about five feet in diameter. Then I started to run toward the exit, but I didn't make it all the way. A person stood in front of me; I couldn't see who it was because of the lack of light.

"Follow me." The person said. Like I was going to go anywhere with this person, for all I knew, he was taking me to a trap.

"Who are you?" The man stopped walking and turned around.

"I am someone who thinks that you shouldn't be locked up. Now you can either question me all day long and we both get caught or you can follow me and I can get you out of here. I would pick fast." I stared at the man. He seemed genuine, but I would be on full alert, just in case. We turned right and started to run down more of the catacombs. I didn't know where we were going, but as long as I got away from Konoha and the ANBU, I would be fine. We kept running for about five minutes before we stopped at a door. The man signaled me to wait as he checked to see if the coast was clear. I waited, but the man hadn't come back yet. Then I heard a grunt of pain. I ran out of the door and saw a Konoha shinobi standing over the man that had tried to help me. He was Sound. 'So much for the help.' I thought as the Konoha shinobi looked at me. His eyes widened in question. I didn't want to stay and see what he was thinking, so I ran away from him.

"Stop! Someone stop her!" The man yelled, but there was too much chaos going on for anyone to hear him. As I was running, I noticed that the Hokage building had a big hole in it, multiple buildings were demolished, people were running for safety, and Sound was fighting Konoha. Why? Probably to get me back, but then again, I wasn't sure. I kept running for about two more minutes before I heard someone yell.

"Retreat!" It was Sound. About a hundred Sound ninja ran toward the gates to get out, but what they didn't know was that there was an ambush waiting for them. I had just figured it out because I felt certain chakra signatures just standing at the main gate, but didn't know why until I heard Sound retreat. I had to let my people know before they got hurt, but did I really want to help them? Yes, I had killed my entire life, but only because I had to make my father happy so I could get Madara's eyes. But now that I had killed him, there wasn't anyone to make me kill, to make me be a monster. I had made my choice. I started to run toward the main gate, but I hid my chakra. I hid behind a building and watched as a hundred Sound ninja stopped dead in there tracks to Konoha shinobi. The Hokage was in the front, next to her was a guy with hair down to his shoulders and side bangs that went to his mouth, then there was a girl with pink hair, Sasuke, Kakashi, Itachi, Shisui, and multiple other people whom I did not know.

"Surrender or you all will die." The Hokage told all of the Sound. No one moved; no one even dared to breathe.

"Why would we surrender? We can take all of you!" Someone shouted from the Sound side, and then he fell dead. The guy with hair as long as his shoulders threw a kunai to the other's jugular.

"Enough. You will either surrender or all of you will die." The man said.

"Fugaku, that's enough. Before we kill them, I need to know why they attacked. Orochimaru is dead, so who told you all to come?" She asked calmly.

"No one! We needed a new leader, so we came to free Hotaru." Silence ensued. 'Wow, they attacked Konoha, risking their own lives, just to free me?' I thought. 'That's pathetic.' I didn't need to be saved. I was already on my way to escaping.

"Sound is really dumb aren't you? Hotaru is in our custody and will not be free. You all retreated before you could even get to her, so why bother?" The Hokage said. 'She doesn't know?' I smirked. Huh, interesting.

"We will not surrender nor will we leave without Hotaru. Either give her to us or die." Someone said.

"It's decided then. No prisoners." The Hokage said to the Konoha shinobi. Then everything happened so fast. Konoha attacked Sound and Sound attacked back. I didn't know what to do; I had no place to be here. I was Sound, but I didn't want to help them. They attacked a village just for one person. They should have sneaked in with the cover of night to get me out and not create a war with Konoha. It would be their downfall. I stayed where I was, watching everyone fight, not knowing what I should do. For the first time in my life, I did not know how to handle the situation at hand. I looked to see Itachi kill five Sound at once, Fugaku killing at the same rate, the Hokage as she punched the ground creating a crater, killing over ten Sound, and at Sasuke and Shisui as they worked together to take out ten Sound. Konoha knew how to handle themselves. After a while, Sound was still trying to kill Konoha shinobi; Sound had killed maybe thirty Konoha shinobi, where Konoha had killed over fifty. In a way, it was unfair, but Sound put up their lives just to get me back. They were idiots, idiots with a cause. Then I remembered.

I woke up tired and sore. My father had made me train for more than five hours at once and I couldn't handle it. For Kami's sake, I was only four! I didn't understand why he made me train so much. Yes, being strong had its advantages, but still. I was only four! I got out of bed and took a shower. When I got out, I noticed that it was only five am. 'Great, I woke up early.' I thought waling out of my room to go get something to eat. As I passed the stairs, where my father did his experiments, to go to the kitchen, I heard crying. I never heard someone cry, I had only heard screaming. Crying … was abnormal down there. I began to get curious as I stood by the stairs listening to a little girl cry. She was about my age, from what I could hear, but it wasn't enough for me. I slowly sneaked down the stairs and as I got closer, I heard my father talking.

"Enough. Crying will not help your cause."

"But … but why? I am strong, I am your daughter!" I stopped. 'What? I didn't have a sister.' I was getting more confused by the second, but I still crept forward to sneak a peak around the corner. The little girl who was crying was chained to the wall and my father was standing in front of her, pacing. I stayed in the shadows so they couldn't see me as I listened to figure out what was going on.

"No you are not. Hotaru is much stronger than you could ever be already. You are weak. Like your mother." The girl was beginning to cry again.

"No! My mother was strong before you killed her! You just couldn't stand that she betrayed you and was going to take me away from you! You monster!" The girl screamed. My father was getting pissed.

"I killed her because she was weak. You are weak, so I substituted you for an Uchiha. Hotaru will never figure out who she is and she will be stronger than anyone and then we can rule over everyone!" I heard my 'father' say. 'Wait … Uchiha? But … I thought I was your daughter…' I thought as I looked at Orochimaru.

"She will find out. What will you do then?"

"She won't, but if, if she does, Kabuto will fix it." Then he grabbed a tool from a table that was near him. It was a katana. I was awe struck. He wasn't going to kill her … was he? The little girl looked horrified.

"But I am your daughter! Not that imposter that you call your own flesh and blood! Please!" The girl tried to plead to him.

"I will not kill you yet; you will be kept alive merely for fun and to take out anger on." Orochimaru said as he kept walking closer. I had had enough. I jumped out of the shadows and stood in front of the girl. Orochimaru stopped walking and had a look of shock on his face. I heard the girl gasp behind me.

"You are not going to hurt her!" I said to him. He lied to me. For four years, he had lied to me and called me his daughter when I was nothing of the sort. I was an Uchiha! He took me from my real mother and father, my family!

"How much did you hear?" He questioned me.

"Enough to know who your real daughter is." He stepped away from me and set the kunai down. I thought he was giving up. I was dead wrong. The next thing I knew, Kabuto, who appeared out of thin air, grabbed my arm and pulled me aside as Orochimaru came up to me with a syringe.

"What is that?" I asked in horror. He didn't answer me as he injected something in my arm. I fell against Kabuto as Orochimaru grabbed the kunai again and walked up to the little girl. Before I passed out, I saw the girls face. She was thankful to me for trying to help, but she also accepted her fate and wished me the best. I blacked out as I heard her gasp in pain.

'He erased my memories from when I was younger. He wanted me to think I was his daughter, when I wasn't. I was an Uchiha.' I thought in awe as I looked around to still see fighting. It was almost over though; Sound was diminishing, while Konoha looked unscathed. Then I saw something I never thought I would see in my life. Sasuke, busy with four Sound shinobi, didn't realize another Sound shinobi sneaking behind him with a katana. I recognized the blade too; it was a katana I had used before when I was younger. It was used to poison the victim and give them a slow and painful death. I didn't even have to think. I ran forward through the shocked faces of both Sound and Konoha. Time seemed to stop as I made my way to the approaching blade aimed for Sasuke's midsection.

"SASUKE!" I screamed making him look at me. Everyone around also looked at me and stared as I pushed Sasuke out of the way. The Sound shinobi looked horrified as he stabbed my abdomen.

Yup ... a cliff hanger! Mwaahahahahahaha *cough* Evil laugh was not a good idea ... Um... okay, so the next chapter will be the last chapter. I already said this, I know, but I just wanted to make myself clear and stuff. Um ...
