"You guys go on ahead and look for Sai." I told Naruto, Sakura and Yamato. "There's something in this place. Something I kind of recognize, but can't place. Its not Kabuto or Orochimaru. Nor is it Sasuke. Plus, I smell blood."

"But-" Sakura objected

I cut her off. "I'll meet up with you guys later."

"I thought that you said that it would be better if we all stuck together." Yamato said.

"That was before I sensed this chakra." I snapped. "Like I said, I will meet up with you guys later. Good luck."

"You too Yuuki." Naruto nodded his head.

-

-

I was checking rooms quickly.

Where had I felt this chakra before!? It felt so familiar!

"Come on. Come on. Where are you!" I snarled, checking yet another empty room.

Then I started to feel the chakra level increasing.

I concentrated on it, and it led me to a prison cell.

-

I stood outside the prison door quietly, not saying a word.

"So what now? Come to torture me some more? I'm still not going to say anything." a male called out.

That voice!! "What is your name?" I asked him.

He scoffed. "Shouldn't you know that? I'm the test subject, Jin."

"Jin Senji." I gasped.

Jins thin body stood and came over to try to peer through the bars. I saw then that his eyes were blindfolded and that he was relying on his sense of touch to guide him. "Who're you?"

"Jin! It's me Yuuki! Yuuki Uchiha." I felt tears drop down from my eyes and I hastily wiped them away. Jin was a really good friend of mine from a while back. He had once admitted he had a crush on me, when he came to the village a while ago, but I had to tell him that I was with Kakashi. He took it all in his stride and we stayed friends, until he went missing.

"Yuuki! What are you doing here? Has Orochimaru-"

I cut him off. "No, I'm here because my team and I are searching for Sasuke, my little brother."

"Sasuke? You do know that he's changed don't you?"

"I know. We're hoping that Naruto, me and Sakura might be able to bring him back to his senses. I'm pretty sure that it won't work for a while yet though.". I reached through the bars and took off the blindfold. "Are you okay?"

"I've been through a lot, but I'll live. Do you think that you can get me outta here?" he chuckled lightly.

"Stand back." I told him before I activated two tails and kicked the door down.

"So you're finally getting along with Juro?"

"Apart from him being a smartass, then yeah. Let's get going."

I let him lean on me like a crutch and we started moving.

-

-

A few minutes later, there was a huge BANG!! making me flinch.

"What was that?" Jin exclaimed.

"I don't know, but considering that my brothers chakra level is now powerful from one spot, I'm guessing that he's been found."

"You should go." Jin told me with a small smile.

"What?"

"Leave me here. Go see Sasuke."

I scoffed. "No way. I'm not letting you go after you go missing for as long as you did."

"Yuuki-"

"No!" I said firmly.

"You need to see him."

"I- tell you this, I'll go and see Sasuke, but I'll leave Juro here with you, and get you the hell away from here."

"Fine. Just go."

Juro materialized beside Jin, nudging him with his head. "Good to see you alive, Jin Senji. Get on my back, it will be faster that way. And Yuuki, I expect you to be at the rendezvous point in exactly an hour and a half."

"I'll be there." I promised. "Now get Jin outta here." I said, giving Jin a peck on the cheek. "It really is good to see you."

"Likewise."

"Now go!"

-

-

I ran as fast as I could to where the chakra signature was.

Good too, because Yamato was about to be attacked by Sasuke.

I shoved him out of the way, and took Sasukes blade, streaming with Chidori, into my arm.

"This is insane." I muttered, wincing. "Hello Sasuke."

"Yuuki." he stated calmly. "That was the wrong way to block."

"What can I say? Desperate times call for desperate measures."

"So you're here to convince me to come back to the village." he smirked.

"Seeing by the way you're acting right now, I'm not gonna try today. Maybe another time."

"Yuuki-sensei!" Naruto and Sakura yell in worry.

"Sensei?" Sasuke looked into my eyes. "So you're a teacher."

"And you better remember it." I grinned, pulling the blade out of my arm and kicking my little brother away, into the wall. "I'm still the same as I was then. I ain't gonna put up with nobody's shit. Especially yours."

He glared up at me. "You seem different from last time."

"I know." I shrugged. "I'd like to say the same goes for you, but I know that it doesn't."

"It does mean that." he replied, standing upright and attacking me.

I dodged all of his attacks. "You know," I said, dodging another attack from his sword. "if you aren't even able to land a hit on me, without me activating my Sharingan, how the heck do you expect to kill Itachi?"

His eyes narrowed and turned into a glare.

His attempts to hit me were getting more and more serious, but he still couldn't catch me.

That was until my back hit the stone sitting in the middle of the damn room. "Shit!" I cursed.

He smirked and stabbed me in the gut "I caught you."

I spat out blood. "Sasuke, if I was going serious, you'd already be dead. Just because you've caught me doesn't mean you can kill me that easily."

"I beg to differ." he said, twisting the blade in my stomach.

I yelled out in pain. "Damn!"

"Yuuki-sensei!" Naruto yelled from his place lying on the floor, trying to stand.

Sasukes head turned towards him and Naruto met his Sharingan gaze.

"Don't look Naruto!" I shouted. "Sasuke, leave him alone!"

Sasuke kept his eyes on Narutos.

In a desperate attempt to break his gaze, I went forwards on the sword, punching him backwards.

"I said to leave him alone!" I growled.

My brothers eyes returned to mine and he tried to catch me in a genjutsu.

I activated my Sharingan. "Don't even think about trying that. Now you've crossed the line....." I snarled, pulling the sword from my gut.

His face was impassive. "Why can't you seem to go past Itachi and i? Why can't you move on?"

I leaned forward on my toes, chakra enveloping my body, tails forming.

"i can't. Not yet. I had no clue what the hell Itachi was up to, let alone you. I tried time and time again to find out, and joined the Akatsuki as a last resort to find the answers. You're both my brothers, no matter what you do, or how much you hurt me. But,"

"But?" he prodded.

"I will not tolerate you harming my friends in any way." I leapt forwards, crushing him into the wall. "And that is the line that you've just crossed. Little brother or not, you will pay the consequences." my voice changed from my normal one, to one more animalistic.

I could actually feel the fear coming off of him faintly.

I smirked. "Scared?"

His eyes narrowed. Underneath my hand, his skin on his chest and neck was turning red and starting to burn.

I jabbed him in the stomach five times before I gave him a right hook, straight across the jaw.

Then I took two steps back. "Get up Sasuke!" I ordered. "I want to show you how much your big sis could've taught you!"

He growled and then jumped on top of the cliff.

I stared up at him, not making a move. He was gathering all of his chakra in one spot, the hand that he had in the air.

"What the?" I murmured.

Orochimarus pale hand came into view and grabbed Sasukes wrist.

"I don't think we should use that jutsu on them just yet." he hissed out.

"Orochimaru...." I snarled.

"Ahh, Yuuki, you're here too? Good, maybe you should come with us, and join your little brother."

"In your dreams!!" I yelled. "After everything you've put my family, my friends and I through, count yourself lucky that I can't come near you. Or I swear, you'd be torn to pieces, whether you can die or not. And if anyone got in my way, I'd kill them too. And what the hell did you do to Jin?!"

He licked his lips. "I experimented on him for a bit."

"You sick bastard." I clenched my fists and started running up the cliff face towards him. "You're going to pay for that!!"

He smiled as I went to punch him.

My fist was about to land on his snake face, right up until my curse mark reacted and I fell to the floor, writhing in pain at his feet.

He licked his lips again. "I see that the mark is still working for its purpose."

Sasuke and Kabuto were looking at me on the floor.

"What's it's purpose?" Sasuke finally asked.

"Your sister here is highly deadly, especially with the Jyuubi contained within her body. By giving her my curse mark, it controls what she can do."

"But that's no ordinary curse mark." Kabuto added. "Yuukis has been bitten in twice. Every time that she goes near Lord Orochimaru, she turns into a beast."

The burning pain was spreading all over my body as the curse coursed through my veins. It was like back a few weeks ago....

----------FLASHBACK----------

Kabuto held my up and tied my wrists to the rope. My tip toes were just touching the ground and i winced. He then tied my feet together, but not before i got him with a good kick to the face. He went into the wall behind him.

Orochimaru smirked before walking behind me.

I bucked. The closer he was getting to the curse mark, the more it hurt.

"My mark seems to have been moved from your neck to your arm. No matter." he observed.

I growled at him.

He smiled before sinking his teeth into my shoulder, right on top of the mark.

I screamed in pain, even when he pulled away.

I looked at the curse and saw it turning black and spreading all over my body. My eyes burned as the poison got behind them. I screamed louder.

It seemed like an eternity until it was over and i glanced at my skin. It had black lines so fine it looked like fur. It was all over my body.

"What did you do?" my voice was raw.

"I cursed you again, can't you tell? That's what the pain is. Now, when ever i touch your skin........" he pressed his finger to my forehead.

I screamed again. It hurt so, so much.

He grinned at my cries of pain. He seemed to enjoy them.

"You bastard." i spat at him and got him in the face.

Now i was really starting to piss him of. He was no longer smiling, smirking, Or grinning. He was glaring and gritting his teeth.

He reached his hand out to my face. My body reacted. A snarl ripped it's way through my throat and my teeth lengthened into canines. My feet started to lengthen and my nails turned to claws. Fur sprouted from my skin and my human ears turned to wolf ones. I was becoming more Wolf-like. More like Juro. My spine cracked and my skin ripped so i could grow a tail.

By the time i had finished, i wasn't me. I snapped at Orochimaru and growled, thrashing from side to side.

-----------FLASHBACK ENDED-------

Except one thing was different. I kept my sanity this time. "I won't give in to this curse. Not ever." I growled.

Sasukes face was one of pure shock. "So that's the reason she turned the last time. Come on, let's go."

There was warmth coming from their feet, and I turned on my side weakly to see them teleporting away.

Just as they did, Naruto and I yelled out "SASUKE!"

And then I collapsed with exhaustion.

-

-

"Uchiha! Hey! Uchiha! Wake up!" someone slapped my face.

I groaned. "Leave me alone."

There was a sigh. "She's fine. Son of a bitch, you scared the crap out of us."

I opened my eyes, which were feeling heavy. "Sapphira? What are you doing all the way out here? Shouldn't you be back in the village?"

She chuckled. "You Baka. You're in the village. The hospital, to be more precise. You've been in here for about a week."

I sat up too quickly, giving myself head rush. "Where's Jin! Where's Kakashi! Where's my team!"

She pushed my shoulders down. "Jin is fine, he's in the hospital as well, worried for you, but fine. Kakashi is at home, because I told him to go and get some rest. The same goes for Naruto, Sakura, and your genin team."

I breathed out. "What would I do without my bestie?"

"You'd die." she said.

"Your ego is way too big." I scoffed. "Can I leave now?"

"Nope. My new rule for you is that someone has to sign you out, or you can't leave. Simple?"

I glared at her. "But I'm fine."

She rolled her eyes. "Clearly. I'll go and call Kakashi for you. On my way to the phone, do you also want me to call Jin?"

I nodded. "Please.".

"I'm pissed off that you got hurt, but glad that you're okay." she smiled softly before leaving the room.

-

-

I was staring out the window when there was a knock at the door. "Can I come in?"

"Sure. Hi Jin."

He looked a hell of a lot better. He had more color in his skin, and the cuts and bruises had almost vanished. His hair was no longer matted, and he was gaining weight.

"Hey Yuuki. How're you feelin?"

"Truthfully? Like crap."

"I'm not talking about physically Yuuki." he said.

"Upset. Betrayed. Weak. Those kinds of things."

He gave me a kind smile. "I thought as much. So, I brought you something." he dug through the bag I didn't know he carried in and pulled out something.

My face brightened when I saw what it was. "I cannot believe that you found that."

It was my old ANBU Black Ops mask, in the shape of a wolf. "But, where'd you get it?" I asked, grabbing it from his hands.

"Orochimaru gave it to me. He said that you were dead, and like the idiot I was at the time, I believed him. How else was he supposed to get your mask?"

"Turns out that that day I got into a fight and some Baka knocked it out of my bag. That was how." I replied softly. "But I never died." I added, chuckling.

"When I was still caught up in Orochimarus base, there was a girl screaming." he said.

I stiffened. "And?"

"Did you get her out too?"

"Jin, that girl screaming was me." I told him.

His head flew up and he met my eyes. "How'd you escape?"

"Let's just say that Sasuke hasn't changed as much as he would abandon me to Orochimaru." I smiled.

He grinned. "That means that there is still hope for him."

He came to the beside and gave me a tight hug. "I'm gonna leave now. Be careful on the next mission you go on ok?"

I laughed. "Look who is talking."

He laughed as well before he left.

-

"Kakashi!" I sang as my boyfriend walked in.

He was holding a bundle of flowers in his hands.

"Those had better be for me." I raised an eyebrow.

He chuckled. "Of course they're for you."

I took them from him, kissing his lips. "Thank you."

"You fought Sasuke." he stated bluntly.

"I know that." I replied.

"Yuuki..." he sighed. "Please don't hide your feeling from me."

I stopped looking at the flowers. "It scares me. Seeing how much he's changed."

Kakashi sat on the bed, wrapping me in his arms. "He'll come back."

"No one other than him knows that Kakashi. Who knows? He might not." I started crying, holding onto his chest.

"He will. No matter how much he changes, he will always love you Yuuki. Always. Just like I love you."

I recovered and wiped away my tears. "You always did know how to cheer me up."

He pulled his mask up and stood abruptly.

I tilted my head, confused. What has gotten into him?

"I've signed you out. Meet me at home in ten minutes."

This was confusing me even more. "What's gotten into you?"

"Nothing. Just meet me there. I'll see you later."

"O-o-okay." I stammered.

-

-

As he left, I was thinking what he had in store, while getting changed.

"I wonder...." More flowers?

I wouldn't really be surprised if it was, it's like Kakashi to do things like that. But why didn't he bring them?

I got changed into sweat pants, a crop top and runners as I was planning on going and training my team later on. I tied my hair in a messy bun and then got going.

-

"Hey! I told you my rules!" Sapphira yelled.

"Kakashi signed me out Sapph. I didn't. But I really have to go." I replied

she laughed. "I know. I was just kidding. You're going to love his present."

"What is it?"

"You'll have to find out." she winked.

I growled softly at her.

"If you don't mind, Mrs.Wolf, I have patients to take care of, like Jin. He really is a looker, isn't he?"

I rolled my eyes. "Sapphira Uki-"

She cut me off. "There's nothing wrong with looking! I promise that I won't touch!"

"Good. He hasn't fully recovered his memories from the past, so I don't think that it would be wise for him to get into a relationship until later."

"Really?"

"Really." I gave her a hug. "Now I'm gonna go find out my present."

-

-

"Kakashi!" I called as I skipped into the house.

"In the lounge." he called back.

I stopped skipping when i smelt candles, but walked really quickly to the lounge.

"What's the special.... Oh my god." I gasped.

Kakashi was on his knee, with his mask down and his hair done on the floor, and in his hands was a little black box.

"Yuuki Uchiha." he said as I stumbled a few steps towards him, until I stood in front of him.

"Yes?" I whispered.

"Will you marry me?"

A smile crossed my face. "Yes! Of course I will!!"

He grinned and slipped the ring on my finger, before standing and kissing me passionately. "I love you."

"I love you too." I said.

-

-

"Who cares baby, baby,

I think I wanna marry you." I sang as I walked into the genins classroom in the middle of class.

"Yuuki?" Iruka asked.

"Morning!" I replied

"You're cheerful for someone who just got out of hospital." he observed.

I shone my ring at him. "I've got a reason to be."

"So Kakashi finally got the courage to ask you huh? Congratulations."

"Thanks. Are my team present today?"

"Only two. Roli and Kara. Furiki is absent today."

"Well, Roli and Kara, can you come with me for some training? There's a lot that we need to catch up on."

There were smiles on both of their faces. "Hai Sensei!"

-

"So is Furiki actually sick?" I asked.

"No." they said in unison. "He's out picking a fight. Like always."

"Let's go and find him then." I said.

"Ok."

"You two take the west and north sides of the village, staying together. I'll take the east and south. If you do find him and he's in the middle of a fight, just call out, and I'll hear you."

"Yes!"

-

-

Forty five minutes later and I still hadn't found him.

Where was he?

There was shouting from the end of the street.

I rushed over and found the boy I had been looking for in the middle of a fight.

Not only that, but the little idiot was fighting Kiba and Akamaru.

I pushed through the crowd angrily, activating my Sharingan.

"Enough!" I snapped, grabbing Furiki by the collar and holding him in the air. "Kiba! Akamaru! You both should know better!"

"But sensei!" Kiba objected.

I turned to glare at him and he gulped.

"Where is Hinata and Shino?" I growled.

"We're here." they said.

"Why didn't you both try to stop them?"

They looked at the ground in guilt.

"I say let them fight! It's about time we got some entertainment around here for once!" a guy yelled out

Many others agreed with him.

I rolled my eyes, placing Furiki on the ground. "I'll talk to you all later. For now, get onto the roof and out of reach, and let Furiki watch how I kick the crap out of these idiots."

-

FURIKI'S POV.

The dog guy grabbed me and carried me onto the roof. "Let me go Dog Boy!"

"Watch who you're calling boy there Kid." he warned. "Just watch your sensei do her thing."

I growled but looked at Yuuki sensei anyways. She was surrounded by people that were armed with knives and other stuff, and she was too outnumbered to take all of them.

"There's no way she can defeat all of them." I scoffed. "Nobody could do that."

"You may not know this, but Yuuki became an Jounin at the age of 12 and she became an ANBU Black Ops at the age of 14. I guess that you could say that she was one of those child prodigies. Just like her brother." a woman appeared next to dog boy, and she had red eyes, which creeped me out a bit.

"Kurenai sensei!" Dog boy greeted happily.

"What do you mean, just like her brother?" I asked. "Are you talking about Sasuke Uchiha? He wasn't any prodigy."

"No, she had two brothers. Sasuke and Itachi. You must've heard of them."

"She's Itachi Uchihas sister?" I gulped.

"She is his twin. They were closer than any siblings I had ever seen. No one, even Sasuke and Kakashi, has ever been able to get that close to her, she won't let them."

"Why?" I questioned, staring at sensei.

Kurenai sensei smiled gently. "Yuuki isn't afraid of any physical thing. But she is afraid that she's going to get close to someone and get betrayed again."

The villagers started running towards sensei, but she stayed dead still.

"Aren't you going to help her dog boy? What about you others?"

"Yuuki sensei doesn't need any help. And if we interrupted her while she's fighting, it would be disrespecting her, showing we have no faith in her abilities." the girl with creamy light purple eyes replied.

The creepy guy nodded and the huge dog next to me barked.

"Attacking a defenseless girl isn't the way you should treat her." Sensei mocked the villagers.

She kicked the knives out of their hands with ease. "But I'm not exactly what you would call defenseless."

I barely had time to blink, she moved that quickly.

She was everywhere at once, knocking people out cold. And before I knew it, she was standing in front of me.

"Kiba you can put him down now. Nice to see you Kurenai."

Kurenai smiled. "Out of the hospital I see."

"And engaged." she wove her hand around.

"Congratulations. Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, and Hinata what do you say about getting some training done?"

Kiba cracked his knuckles. "About time sensei."

"Furiki." Yuuki sensei said.

"What?"

"We need to talk." she replied icily, looking at me with gold eyes.

I flinched automatically in fear. Oh Crap.
