Stockholme Syndrome

PeinxSaku

The world never stopped turning. It never stopped moving. Life never stopped changing. It waited for no one.

"Stop it! Stop saying that!" Sakura screamed. No matter how much she screamed, no matter how many times she shouted, his answer always stayed the same.
"You may leave whenever you wish, Sakura." he repeated.
Sakura stared into his grey eyes, whimpering and sobbing, tears falling from her cheeks. She couldn't do it, even if she wanted to. She couldn't leave. They were holding her here against her will, right? She was the captive, the hostage, the victim. They, more like he, was her captor. He held her here. He has for three years. Three fucking years! For three years, she has been here, trying, so desperately, to escape into the world she once knew, while they held her as a bait to lure the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, Naruto. Three years.
She had not been alone, even if she thought she was. They.... surprisingly, treated her as an equel, and she hated it, because it made it hard for her to hate them. They, the Akatsuki, might not be all that close to her... but, they were still there.
As for Pein, the fucking leader who had captured her?
She hated him more than anything, because she was so damn loyal to him. She suffered from stockholme syndrome, and she could not help it.
"You... you are lying... Dammit don't lie to me! You still need me to lure Naruto to you, right? Is this some sort of tactic, some fucking new plan?" she asked, glaring at him. He said nothing.
"You have been hanging around Hidan too much." she heard him murmer to himself, his gaze averted elsewhere. Sakura laughed. Oh, she could feel herself slipping into insanity.
"Just tell me now, Pein. Am I allowed to go?"
"My answer remains the same." He told her, gazing into her eyes. "But, if you wish to stay, Sakura, you are more than welcome too."
Sakura thought it was because Konan had died. Konan had died and she could do nothing about it, he did not hate her for it though. He understood medic-nins were not miracle workers. She thought he was telling her this just to fuck with her mind, he loved doing that. She always managed to amuse him, even if she was not some fucking toy.
"Why should I stay?" she asked. Pein didn't even hesitate to answer.
"You are loyal to me, Sakura. It is obvious. You know nothing of the world outside because it has changed. Three years is a long time to be stuck in a house, never going outside. The world is not as you once knew because God has changed it. I have created the perfect world, a united country, with no wars. I accomplished this when I had captured the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, two and a half years ago."
It took a couple of minutes for her to realise what he had said, and for her to process it all. He.. he had won. All this time, when she had said Konoha would fight, and would win... He had won. Naruto.. Oh Naruto, he was dead. Sakura placed her hands over mouth as she cried for her best friend. She missed him so much. And she would never see him again. Slowly Sakura backed up against the wall, crying her heart out.
Pein said nothing while he watched her tears. It was a hard truth for her to face, but she must. She would accept it, and himself, eventually.

I am not continuing this, I just had the urge to write PeinxSaku...
