I know, I know.
I was suppose to upload chapter ten along with nine.
But I just haven't finished it yet.
It's getting there. Slowly.
So it'll be out soon enough.

I just decided that everyone waited long enough for nine.
You'd rather have at least one chapter, right?
Better then waiting like...
Another week for two.

Special thanks to everyone that reviewed.
Gawd, you guys make me giggle.

I love your funneh reviews.

Hikari glared towards the source of the narcissistic chuckling. "Sasuke." Her eyes narrowed viciously. Sasuke's smirk grew at being acknowledged, "Hikari." Hikari pulled her fist away from Itachi's cheek, but kept it armed and ready. Her angry eyes darted from Sasuke to the woman standing slightly behind him. Oh how she would never forget such a face. "Maria."

If the other woman was uncomfortable, she sure didn't show it. She had a smug air about her as she nodded in acknowledgement. "Hello, dear."

Hikari's jaw clenched tightly together. "I'll be on my way." In an instant, she was walking away from the three. "Wait." Sasuke's voice rose just slightly, but not enough to disclose any panic. "I want to apologize for my actions." Hikari halted for just a moment, "Save it, Uchiha. I don't want to hear your voice. Now shove off." Paying no mind to Hikari's words, Sasuke continued on. "It was my fault brother came down to the set. I called him without telling him the circumstances of the situation. By the time he got there, there wasn't any choice…"

"Of course there was a choice!" Hikari fumed, spinning around on her heel. "He could of said no! He could of walked away! But NO, he went along with it!"

Sasuke retorted quickly, "He didn't know about the kissing scene, Hikari. He thought he was just reciting the lines. I paid one of my staff members to give him a little nudge towards Maria."

Itachi sent a chilling glare, "You did what, Sasuke?"

"Calm down, bro. I knew you wouldn't do it if I had asked nicely. So I just took the liberty to…" He trailed off, shrugging nonchalant.

Itachi clenched his fists until they turned pale. "You know, you should become an actor, bro. You really fit the part. Plus all the girls would flock to a movie with such a handsome man playing the lead role." Sasuke added with a sly smirk.

"Wipe that stupid smirk off your face, Sasuke." Hikari's voice cut deep, filled with rage and over-boiling disgust. The over confident boy opened his mouth to retort, but was shut up with a right hook; square in the nose, curtsy of Hikari.

Maria let out a cry of horror as Sasuke fell to the ground, blood pouring from his, possibly, broken nose. She dropped to her knees beside Sasuke, pulling out a white clothe and holding it up to his nose to stop the flow of blood. "Why'd you do that?!"

Hikari's eyes dared her to even flinch as she towered over them. "Wanna be a matching pair of fucks?"

Abruptly, Itachi grabbed a hold of Hikari's bloodied fist; making her cringe at the slightest of touch. She turned her cold gaze towards her ex-lover. He forced a nervous smile, "Why don't we go up to the apartment, and get some coffee? I just made a fresh pot."

She stared at him for a few minutes before turning her head back to the two on the ground. "Fine." She hissed out, following behind Itachi as he led the way.

There was a edgy silence as Hikari sat on the large sofa, Itachi sat on the lazy boy chair, diagonal from the sofa. He lifted the cup of warm liquid to his lips, glancing over the edge of the mug at Hikari. She sat as uptight as could be, mug gripped firmly between her hands, and her head bowed down to stare intensely in thought.

He pondered on how to handle the situation. It seemed like it had already been blown out of proportion. All Itachi really wanted to do was climb into bed, forget all this happened, and wrap his arms around his woman. But he knew that was just a wishful thought.

"Hikari…" He spoke up timidly, something he wasn't used to. She didn't budge. "I'm sorry…" It seemed to come out as a raspy whisper.

Unpredictably; she placed the cup on the coffee table, got up, and headed for the door. Itachi's instincts kicked in. Just as she was about to reach for the doorknob, Itachi wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind. "Don't go." He whispered in her ear.

"Shove off." Was her reply as she pried herself from his arms. Not once did she look him in the eyes, which annoyed him to no man's land. He had reached his limit. Taking her by the shoulders, he spun her around to face him. "Stop being a stubborn fool! I explained the situation to you! You got your revenge against Sasuke. What more to you want?"

Her eyes glared warningly, "What do I want? Honestly? I wish it never happened! I wish you weren't stupid enough to do a scene with her in the first place! You don't know how it feels to watch the man you love kiss another woman."

He dropped his head downwards, his midnight bangs covering his eyes. Keeping his hands on her shoulders firmly, he spoke in a soft tone. "What can I do to redeem myself? What can I do to prove I love you and only you?"

Hikari scoffed abruptly, "I'd ask you to fuck me, but I'm sure Maria's the only thing you think about." His fingernails dug into her shoulders, causing her to grit her teeth instead of whimpering. He lost his temper. In a quick motion, he slammed her back against the wall, hard enough for a cry to escape her lips. "Let go!" She screamed, reaching her hands up to grab at his forearms. "Don't' you ever…" His voice had turned sinister at the drop of a pin, "Say something so ridiculous again."

She sneered again, "Doesn't seem too ridiculous."

A sharp movement and he backhanded her hard across the cheek. "Get a grip, you stupid woman! I fucking love you!" He screamed in uncontrollable rage. Hikari's mouth hung open slightly in disbelief. Had he just hit her? Impossible. Yet, she felt the stinging of the blow on her right cheek.

"You bastard!" She screeched, her pride automatically wounded. She raised her hand to return the favor across the cheek, but he caught her wrist.

They struggled; as it was clear Itachi had the upper hand against the wild woman. He crashed his lips against hers, forcing her back against the wall. The kiss was hard and rough, his tongue lashing out against hers. Seconds later he broke the kiss with an almost hateful glare, "I'll fuck you and only you. You'll be so sore you won't be able to get out of bed." His words came out in a hiss of anger.

For once, Hikari was scared.
