Rin

"So you're my sister?" He asked lamely.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and gave a small nod.

"How come I don't remember you?"

I pursed my lips, "Itachi said that Fugaku liked to cover his tracks."

Sasuke scowled, "Well dads dead, so its not like we can ask him."

"Good riddance." Automatically left my mouth.

I saw Sasukes eyes narrow and he pushed me into the tree we were standing under and my back connected to the trunk with a 'thud'.

"How can you say that?" He questioned, both hands on my shoulders, "He's our Father."

Anger swelled inside me and quickly I wiggled out of his grip, pinned his arms behind his back and sent him face first into the tree.

"Like I told Itachi," I growled "He's your Father, not mine." I released his arms and he yanked them back harshly. In the corner of my eye I saw Kakashi watching us.

"What did he do to you exactly?" he asked.

"That's none of your business." I stated simply.

"None of my business?" he questioned "I'm your brother!"

"You sure didn't act like it when he dragged me away." I muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing." I tuned to leave, but was stopped when he put a hand on my shoulder.

"I heard you. What are you talking about?" He asked demanding an answer.

"The night where I was taken away, you did nothing! You just stood there and watched!" I snapped, raising my voice more than I intended to.

Sasukes eyes widened slightly "what?"

I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Wait," he paused "You remember?"

"Not everything just bits and pieces." I replied.

"Well what do you remember then?"

I bit my lip. My original plan was to tell Sasuke everything when I remembered all the details, but then again if I tell him what I know he might remember something too. I gave in and told him everything, leaving out the part with the guy named Danzo 'cause I still wasn't sure who that was.

When I finished his brows were furrowed in frustration and he held his hands to his temples. "Why don't I remember any of this?" he asked.

"I don't know, but one of us needs to get our memory back, because I doubt Itachi will tell us anything soon."

Sasuke pinched the bridge of his nose "Okay well tell me if you remember anything else, okay?" he asked.

"Hn."

"Wow you really are my sister."

"Shut up."

We walked back to where the others were and quickly finished the mission without another hitch. I admit, it felt pretty good to tell someone what I remembered, plus if Sasuke remembered anything from the information I gave him, it would get me a step closer to remembering my past. I got a bad feeling about it though.


I returned to my apartment and immediately showered. The shower helped me feel refreshed and I began to think about what Itachi said. Experiment? There was something more than that brief flashback I had. I could feel it, but Kakashi woke me up before I could remember it all. I began to feel frustrated. I hated feeling vulnerable.

I stepped out of the shower and dressed. I needed to know who that Danzo person was. I assumed he was someone from the leaf village since he had an ANBU working for him. I paced back and forth in my room deciding what to do when there was a knock at my door.

I grumpily opened the door.

"What?" I spat.

Sasuke stood at the door with an eyebrow raised.

"Could you stop pacing?" he asked, "You're creating a draft."

I furrowed my brows "How'd you know I was pacing?"

"When you pace, it sounds like the roof is breaking."

"I was frustrated."

"I can tell."

I huffed "Okay, ill stop pacing. Is that all you wanted to tell me?"

"No, I also wanted to tell you I remembered something."

My eyes widened "Really?!"

He nodded.

"Here come in." I turned, headed to the kitchen, poured us some tea and we sat in the Kitchen.

"Okay here's what I remember, but I'm not sure if it'll help you."

I nodded for him to continue.

"I figured out why I don't remember you." He eyed me, watching my reaction "Father placed a seal on me."

My brow furrowed, "What?"

"Its true," he turned around and took off his shirt. "See for yourself." Between his shoulders was a seal. The same seal I had, in the exact same place. My eyes widened.

He put his shirt back on and faced towards me "Why are you looking at me like that?"

I bit my lip "Because…I have the exact same seal."

He leaned forward "What?!"

"There's something I didn't tell you before." I hesitated.

He crossed his arms over his chest. "And what is that?"

"I remembered how I lost my memories." I cleared my throat.

"When?"

"When we battled Itachi."

He grunted.

"It was after Fukagu…. Gave me away. This guy named Danzo had a ANBU put a seal on me, that's about it."

He nodded. "Can you tell me everything you remember?"

"Everything?" I asked.

He nodded, "I want to hear it all from the beginning."

After I was done he seemed really uncomfortable. "I'm sorry." He said.

I blinked "For what?"

"For letting you go." He wouldn't meet my eyes.

I smiled weakly "It's okay, to be honest I'm still a little mad, but ill get over it."

"I'm still wondering why I'd let you go." He sounded frustrated.

I put my hand on his shoulder. "We don't know the whole story yet, who knows, maybe you got your memory erased before I was taken."

He nodded glumly. Then I realized something and jumped to my feet. Sasuke flinched at my sudden movement and stared at me like I was crazy.

"Come on!" I nagged while pulling at his arm.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"We have to tell Tsunade! Maybe she'll know this Danzo guy and help us get our memory back."


Tsunade listened intensely to our story, I told her everything, and Sasuke told her what he remembered too. She just asked us to show her our seals when there was a knock at the door. I squealed and pulled my shirt down.

Tsunade sighed "Enter." And the door opened.

My heart stopped and I stood paralyzed. Danzo strolled up to Tsuades desk without giving us a second glance, which I was grateful for. I used that opportunity to hide behind Sasuke, who gripped my hand protectively.

"Tsunade," He spoke darkly "I have matters I need to discuss with you."

His voice made my body shake in fear, but I didn't know why. Sasuke tried to hide me with his body, but he wasn't that much bigger than me.

"Can't this wait till later?" Tsunade asked.

"No." he replied rather bluntly.

She sighed and turned her attention to us "We will discuss this at a later time, you are dismissed."

Danzo turned his attention to us and my blood ran cold. I tried my best to act natural and hide my face, but it didn't work. He caught a glimpse of me and his eye widened briefly before he went back to his stoic self.

As the door closed behind us I heard him speak, "I would like to talk to you about the girl you found near the gates a while ago." My heart dropped.


Me and Sasuke ran all the way home, we ducked into my apartment, breathing heavily.

"H-he saw me." I said in between breaths.

"I know." Sasuke said glumly. He was still holding my hand and wasn't showing any sign of letting me go.

I dragged him to the kitchen where our untouched tea had gone cold. We sat down at the table and spent a long time in silence. Finally, he let my hand go.

"Why were you shaking so much?" he asked.

That question took me by surprise "I don't know." I answered "my body responded on it's own."

"Well in that short vision you had he did hit you a lot, maybe it's from the abuse?" he asked.

I shrugged "Possibly."

Sasuke stayed for dinner and for once I actually enjoyed his company. We both said goodnight and he headed back to his own room.

I was cleaning up the last of the dishes when I suddenly tensed. I flipped to the side and senbon needles impaled the wall I had previously stood by.

I glanced at the needles and saw that they were poisoned. Whether it was life threatening or paralyzing I had no idea, all I knew was that I should probably avoid getting hit by one of those things.

More needles flew at me, but they came so frequently I had no time to get a look at my attacker. 'Probably just another masked ninja' I thought. My idea was proven correct when three masked ninja stepped into the light.

The one holding senbon needles took a step forward "Rin Uchiha you are being taken in for questioning, come quietly."

I scoffed "You attack me then tell me to come quietly? No offense, but that is probably the worst way to gain someone's trust."

"You can come with us willingly or by force your choice. If you refuse, that tells us you are conspiring against this village."

"You don't work for Lady Tsunade, do you?" I asked bluntly.

The three shared a look, clearly confused.

I put my hands on my hips "Tsunades the one in charge and she would be the one to authorize my interrogation. I know Tsunade wouldn't send you to attack me, she would've called me into her office and had me taken off to interrogation there, not barge into my house and demand I cooperate. Who are you guys working for 'cause clearly it's not Tsunade."

"They work for me little Uchiha."

I froze. Danzo stepped out of the shadows behind the three ninjas. Shit.

"What are you doing here?" I snarled, I sounded more confident than I was, which was a relief.

He shook his head "Rude as always. Perhaps we can teach you some manners after you answer some of our questions."

I stood with my chin up "You can't do anything to me. Tsunades the one that calls the shots, I'm not afraid of you."

He rubbed his chin with his hand "In most cases that's correct, but you see I'm the one that controls things behind the shadows. I keep this village running not Princess Tsunade."

He didn't sound like he was bluffing and I was starting to become uneasy, he must've seen that 'cause he smirked "Now," he asked "Are you coming willingly or do we have to take you by force."

"Kiss. My. Ass." I growled.

'Okay, calm down Rin.' I thought 'you just have to beat Danzo and his three ninja then your home free—yeah right there was no way I could even take on one ANBU let alone four.'

"Very well." Danzo sighed. Then the ANBU in front of him launched forward.

I dodged most of the attacks, but the ANBU were skilled. They only attacked with taijutsu, probably because they didn't want to make a racket. I still didn't know what to do. Go down with a fight I thought.

I managed to knock one ANBU unconscious, but that took forever and I was already exhausted. I needed to able to make someone know I was taken. So using the rest of my energy I tried to knock over everything in the room that wouldn't break, but what happened if they put everything back? Then I was screwed, unless I make a racket and someone comes in before they can clean it! Yeah that was a good plan.

I thought back to earlier when Sasuke said that when I paced it sounded like the roof was breaking. The ANBU landed swiftly, but that didn't mean I had too. I smiled and hit my feet against the floor as loud as I could. My energy was draining, fast. I hoped Sasuke would come soon.

Finally, I was hit with a senbon and my body fell to the floor. I was conscious, thank God, but I couldn't move.

One of the ANBU picked me up, and then I heard a knock at the door. I smiled before I was enveloped in a cloud of smoke.


Sasuke

'thump' 'thump' 'thump' 'thump'

'What is she doing now?' I thought. This was worse than when she was pacing. I tried to ignore it, but it didn't stop.

I sighed and headed out the door. 'Damnit. Why couldn't she sit still?'

I knocked on the door, but it was quiet. I turned the handle and it was unlocked.

"I'm coming in." I announced.

The door opened and my eyes widened. The room was messed up! Chairs, tables and even the couches were scattered on the floor in a mess.

"What the hell did you do?" I grumbled out loud.

"Rin? Rin! Where are you?" I yelled, I just heard noises in here a second ago, she should still be here. I looked towards the kitchen and gasped. There were poisoned Senbon everywhere! I turned and ran straight to Tsunades office.


Tsunade

I was reading through mission logs when the door to my office swung open and hit the wall with a bang!

I looked up to see Sasuke panting, "Tsunade we have a problem." He uttered.

"Calm down, what happened?" I asked. If Sasuke was jumpy this couldn't be good.

"It's Rin she's missing!"

My eyes widened as I thought back to earlier that day.

-Flashback-

"I would like to talk to you about the girl you found near the gates a while ago." Danzo said.

My fist tightened, "What about her?"

"I request that you put her in my custody to find out what she knows."

"Absolutely not."

He raised an eyebrow, "Princess Tsunade, you have great leadership qualities I'll grant you that, but I believe your judgment on that girl is mistaken."

"Why would you think that?" I asked rather harshly.

"I have my resources. I plan to dig out any info she's been…hiding using whatever means necessary."

"I said no Danzo! That's the last I want to hear on this subject!" I slammed my hand on the table standing up. "I found out what info she knows and right now she has my trust to remain in the position she's in, that means no interrogation is necessary, are we clear?!"

He turned and headed to the door. He paused in the doorframe, "Crystal". Then he was gone.

-End Flashback-

"Damn it Danzo!" I yelled.

Sasuke jumped back at my sudden outburst, but his fist tightened at Danzos name.

"Sasuke, go get Kakashi, while I get Shizune!"

He nodded and took off once again.

"I'm gonna kill him." I muttered.


Rin

The smoke dispersed and I was in that old room, the one from my memories. I shivered. Danzo noticed and smiled, "Welcome back."

They cuffed my legs to the ground, while my hands were chained behind me. I had to sit on my legs in the middle of the room.

Slowly the poison wore off and I could move again. Not that it mattered. The chains drained chakra and I groaned. 'Now what?' I thought.

Danzo cleared his throat and I looked up.

"Tell me my dear," he knelt and cupped my chin in his hand, "what do you remember exactly?"

"Nothing." I spat, it was an obvious lie, and we both knew it. One of the ANBU took out a kunai and made a slow cut down my cheek to my neck, not deep enough for a scar, but enough to cause pain. I gritted my teeth as warm blood dripped down onto the floor.

"I know you remember me." He chided "I knew it from the moment I saw you in Tsuandes office. They may buy this whole 'amnesia' thing, but I don't. You'll tell me what I want to know."

"I don't know anything!" I shouted, "I barely remember my own brother!"

He raised an eyebrow, "So you do remember things?"

I cursed. Danzo grabbed my hair and yanked it harshly. "What do you remember?" he asked slowly as if talking to a child.

I took a deep breath wondering how long I could hold out.


Sasuke

I pounded on Kakashis door trying to get him up. After a few minutes I heard "I'm coming, I'm coming!" The door opened to reveal a very grumpy Kakashi with disheveled hair wearing a simple no sleeve ninja shirt and pants.

"Sasuke?" He asked.

"This is urgent, Tsunade asked me to come get you, we need to get to her office now."

His face turned serious, "What happened?"

"Rin's gone."

His eyes widened, "Okay, just a second." He vanished back inside his house, a minute later he came out dressed and ready, then we were headed to Tsunades office.

"Sasuke, can I get more details?" Kakashi asked as we neared the tower.

"I don't know much myself, but I'm pretty sure she was taken. I'll tell you the rest of the details when were in Tsunades office."

He nodded and we pressed on forward.


Rin

I was bruised, cut and bleeding all over. Every movement caused me pain. I had already told Danzo everything I remembered, which wasn't much, but he still kept asking me for more.

"You know more than that," he stated "The seal we put on you was to forget everything about your past before we gave you to them."

"Them?" I asked.

"You know who!" he yelled, but I really didn't!

"No I don't!" I yelled, "Tell me who they are!"

"Orochimaru!" he spat.

My brows furrowed 'Orochimaru. Orochimaru.' That name sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it.

"What do you know about him?!" Danzo practically screamed. He was getting frustrated, I knew that, but I didn't know whom he was talking about.

"I. Don't. Know. ANYTHING."

He growled then yanked the kunai out of the ANBU's hand, made his way behind me and stabbed it into my shoulder. I whimpered, I refused to cry or scream; I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.

I kept fiddling through my brain for any recognition or a guy named Orochimaru, and then it hit me. Literally. The memory came and I blacked out.

I was in a room lit with candles. In front of me stood a tall man with extremely pale skin and waist-length black hair. He had amber eyes with slits in his pupils and purple markings around his eyes. He wore plain grey garbs with black pants and a thick purple rope belt tied in a large knot behind his back. Orochimaru I thought.

A man at his left wore a pair of black-rimmed circular glasses. He has onyx eyes and ash-grey hair, tied in a ponytail, with his bangs framing either side of his forehead. He wore a dark purple shirt with a high collar, a white under-shirt, dark purple fingerless gloves with armored plates on the back of the hand, a white cloth waistband worn at an angle, dark purple pants, blue sandals, and a shuriken holster on his right leg.

Orochimaru stepped towards me and I took one back.

He chuckled and turned to his left, "Kabuto, it seems we have a new experiment subject?" he asked.

I shivered.

"Lord Orochimaru didn't Danzo tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"She has the Sharingan."

Orochimaru smiled, "Perfect."

I gulped, "What are you talking about?"

Orochimaru put his hand on my shoulder, "Don't worry dear," he said "Were going to turn you into the ultimate shinobi. I no longer require Itachis body if I can use yours. A girl with the Sharingan, that's quiet impressive."

Then the dream changed.

I was tied to a table with different needles and tubes running from my body. Kabuto was somewhere to my left on a computer checking the monitors.

I squirmed desperately trying to get free.

"It's useless." Kabuto said without looking up.

"Can't blame a girl for trying." I mumbled, "Why do I have to do this anyway? Can't I train like a regular ninja instead of getting injected with all this crap?" I asked.

He sighed, "This is the fastest way for you to gain power, we don't have that much time before Orochimaru needs a new body."

"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I never agreed to become his new body!" I started thrashing around again.

He smirked, "Whether you agree to it or not I don't care." He pressed a button and all the chemicals began flowing into me.

I screamed.

My eyes snapped open and I sat up. Pain rippled through me once I remembered what happened. I groaned.

Danzo stepped towards me, "Remember something?" he asked.

I bit my lip, "..Maybe…"

He frowned and kicked me in my stomach. I crumbled forward and collapsed on the ground.

"You're as good as dead if you don't tell me what you know." He spat.

"Okay," I said through a ridged breath "I'll tell you."

He smiled, "Good girl."


Sasuke

We were running through this underground hideout following one of Kakashis ninja dogs that had picked up her scent. We were getting closer.

Kakashi led followed by me, Shizune then Tsunade. This hideout was supposedly restricted access, but Tsunade beat a couple of doors down along with the guards and voila, were in.

Pakkun shuddered.

"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked.

"I smell blood." He replied.

My fingers clenched. 'If he hurts her, I'm gonna kill him.' I thought.

Pakkun stopped in front of a door made out of metal, he sniffed, "She's right through this door." He pointed with his paw.

"Thanks Pakkun." Kakashi spoke, then Pakkun disappeared with a poof.

"Now what?" I asked.

Kakashi paused for a second, "There are four ANBU's along with your sister and Danzo in there, right now the best we can do is—" he didn't get to finish. Tsunade ran her fist through the door, which dented and flew across the room.

"DANZO!" she shouted as she stomped through the door.

"I guess we follow her lead." Kakashi smiled.

I stepped through the door and looked desperately for Rin, while Tsunade started yelling at Danzo. When I saw her my heart dropped.


Rin

Danzo seemed quiet pleased with my new memory meanwhile I felt paralyzed. He was just about to ask me another question when a door flew across the room and crashed into the wall.

"DANZO!" a voice shouted.

I was too weak to move from my spot on the floor, I felt like a rag doll. My hair blocked my vision, but that voice sounded like Lady Tsunade. 'Thank God.' I thought.

"Rin!" That sounded like Sasuke. Strong arms pulled me into a lap. My hair was brushed away from my face and I cracked one of my eyes open. Sasuke was holding me with Kakashi behind him. I gave a weak smile.

His hands tightened around my shoulders, I whimpered in pain.

"S-sorry." He said.

Shizune came over and looked at my wounds, "They aren't life threatening." She assured him. Sasuke gave a breath of relief.

"We should still take her to the hospital." Kakashi implied, Shizune nodded.

"No!" I shouted, causing everyone to jump. I hate hospitals, that memory of being experimented on was still fresh in my mind.

"She's not going anywhere." Danzo said.

Sasuke grit his teeth and held me close. "Yes, she is." He spat.

Tsunade stood between Danzo and me, "Danzo, you have purposefully disobeyed my orders, I could put you in jail for that." She growled.

Danzo shouted, "The one who should be in jail is her!" he pointed his finger at me.

"And why's that?" Tsunade inquired.

"She's conspired with Orochimaru!"

The room was silent and I felt everyone's gazes on me. That damn Danzo, he failed to mention he was the one who gave me to snake-for-brains.

Danzo smirked as if amused "You see Tsunade, I've thought this through. That's why I got this..." he held out a piece of paper, "This gives me permission for the interrogation by the elders. I did this for the good of the village."

Tsunade snorted, "I don't care who gave you permission. I will deal with this from now on!"

Danzo sighed, "Very well, I've already gotten some valuable information." He smiled, and I leaned more into Sasuke.

Kakashi stood up and took me in his arms, bridal style. I tensed at the pain that shot through where he touched me.

He smiled down at me "Sorry Rin."

"Hn." I replied.

He chuckled, and carried me back to my apartment.
