I panted slightly as I wiped the sweat off my forehead caused by my little spar with Kakashi. He was lying on the ground, claiming he was too lazy to get up after I had punched him. That wasn't the only thing that tired him out though; he's not weak by any standards. He wanted a rematch with me after I beat him years ago and our first spar in front of the team. This time was a tie, which entertained me greatly.

"You've improved Kurayami," he said looking at me with his non-Sharingan eye. "You must've trained really hard while you were away."

I scoffed a bit. "Well yeah since I had to bring the jerk face back."

"It was inevitable that he left because he wanted more power. Although, when he asked you to be his girlfriend I didn't think he'd leave at all."

"I could've given him so much more. He even asked me to help him train," I responded shaking my head.

He sat up at this. "He actually asked? That's very unlike Sasuke, but why he still left is beyond me."

"He wanted to protect me," I whispered. I may have been very angered towards Sasuke, but I was more disappointed than anything. "He didn't need to leave though. I'm not perfect, but he doesn't need to protect me 24/7."

"He loves you, and that feeling hasn't gone away from what I can tell."

"Well I'm not letting him off that easily. He'll have to do something really amazing to earn my trust and respect back."

"Do you still love him?"

I paused, staring blankly into space before starting to head home. "I'll see you later Kakashi."

I heard him sigh before I disappeared and reappeared at home. Sasuke wasn't there yet luckily, probably with Naruto to keep some space between us. I was too tired to find out or to call anyone to hang out, so I simply went into my room and passed out.

? POV

The village was quiet at night and the guards were asleep, the perfect opportunity to break in. Using a technique to conceal my form like a cloud cover, I hid my chakra and carefully walked through the night. Shops were closed and ninjas were either in their homes asleep or out on a mission. I was about to fulfill mine.

Recognizing Kurayami's chakra from her dreams, I followed the trail until I found it strongest at a house. Smirking, I snuck in through the door, picking the lock silently, and walked right in.

I'm surprised she's asleep and hasn't sensed me by now. She must really be slacking.

I ran up the stairs quietly and found her room. Before she could wake up from her slumber, I touched her forehead and zapped her with a small lightning jutsu that would render her unconscious for awhile and paralyze her. This was way too easy.

KURAYAMI'S POV

What's going on? Why can't I move? Why can't I wake up?

There's someone here Kurayami! You're in danger!

Where the fuck is Sasuke? Why isn't he here yet? Dammit, who's kidnapping me?

…Roya.

Fan-fucking-tastic. I'm being taken away by someone whose strength is my greatest weakness and the only one who could kick his ass is nowhere to be found. Plus, Roya is psycho. He's going to torture the hell out of me.

Akuna, do something!

SASUKE'S POV

As soon as I entered Yami's house I knew something was wrong. I called out her name but received no answer. Then again, it's not like we were on complete speaking terms with each other so I couldn't totally expect a response; however, I had a gut feeling something was terribly wrong.

I walked into her room and when I saw she wasn't there I knew something was wrong. At this late hour she would always be home or on a mission, and I knew she had to stay here in order to watch me.

I activated my Sharingan in order to scan the surroundings with clearer vision to pick up the faintest clue of what might've happened. Her bed was clean, clothes were where they belonged, and the window was…open. She never had her window open if she wasn't there.

I walked to the window and shut it, only to feel a breeze continue to flow through the room. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, but I soon saw all the papers on her desk blow around until there was only one thing left. I quickly walked over and saw that it was a file on an old mission she had concerning someone named Roya.

Why does that name sound familiar?

Then it finally clicked. He was the one Yami was suppose to protect me from. Was this all a ploy for him to get her then while she was distracted? My Sharingan blazed red and I quickly transported myself to Tsunade's office, throwing the file on her desk. She looked up at me startled for a moment, and then looked at the file with her eyes widened.

"Sasuke, where is Kurayami?"

"I think he has her. I don't know how, but she left a message for me hinting to this file. I read the details of her mission with me before I left years ago, and I think it was said that he wanted to distract her from focusing on herself as a target."

She frowned. "But still, she had you, an Uchiha, around her? He'd never be able to get through both of you unless…"

"Unless he knew me leaving would cause her to want to stay far away from me," I growled. "I was with Naruto. I should've been with her!"

"Now isn't the time Sasuke. You need to get everyone rounded up immediately. Roya is more dangerous than he was the first time her fought her; especially, now that he can fully control her greatest weakness."

I held my breath. "Which is?"

She glared at the wall. "Lightning."

KURAYAMI'S POV

I bit my lip hard as I felt the sharp pain of a kunai cutting down the middle of my back. Roya was being a real bastard; he bound me with straps that sealed my chakra and I couldn't do anything while he tortured me. I had absolutely no way to contact anyone, so I hope whatever Akuna did worked.

"Too bad you couldn't sense me Kurayami," he said smirking at me. "Maybe then you wouldn't be in this predicament."

"Go to hell," I growled.

"Ladies first."

After he finished cutting my back, I felt his finger trace my skin beside the wound. I flinched slightly, not liking the feeling and I could practically feel him smirking. Then I felt his hands leave me before I felt the worst pain I could ever feel run through my body.

I screamed as he infused lightning through my wound and he stopped momentarily to cover his ears. I kept screaming, hoping to burst his eardrums, but while struggling he was still able to get a cloth and gagged me with it. Now I was terrified. This wouldn't end well.

"You can't try anything now my dear Kurayami," he whispered in my ear. "Now, where were we?"

Then he started again, and my screams couldn't be heard this time.
