Embrace the Suffering

orochimaru centric

Haha, rated for gore and evilness. I love (torturing) Oro.

Dis: Why did Kishimoto- not me- make a transsexual bad guy? Just wondering…

This had to be dying- nothing could be worse. The excruciating pain that flew through Orochimaru's body made him hiss in agony, glaring ice daggers at the ceiling above him. His chest rose and fell with panicked breathes, heart beating like a drum in his ears as the room spun wildly.

Orochimaru, the snake sannin, was in fact, afraid of death. He wasn't afraid of Heaven, or Hell, or God, or Satan. He wasn't afraid of the condemning, or the river of fire people spoke of so fearfully. He was afraid of the mere though: he would be dead. Deceased. Not living, not breathing, not immortal.

Immortality. Despite his condition, and the fact that his attacker stepped close with each passing second, Orochimaru laughed. It was a dry, pathetic excuse for a chuckle that quickly erupted into a coughing fit. Suddenly, a sword tip pressed against his throat, and he hissed in warning as a drop of blood slid down neck. His attacker narrowed his eyes, peering down at him from where he was, gripping his kusanagi.

"What's so funny?"

Ah yes, Orochimaru's eyes glinted in anticipation; his new body. The one who attacked him when he was weak, Uchiha Sasuke. The dark haired, cold hearted Uchiha Sasuke. "Ah, nothing, Sasuke-kun. I'm just thinking about my new body- yours." Sasuke scowled, pressing his blade through the skin, and Orochimaru winced, remaining as still as possible. The dark haired teen stared down at him, a mixture of hate and disgust shining in his usually emotionless eyes.

"You're weak, Orochimaru, too weak. I could kill you at any moment," Sasuke's eyes narrowed and he pressed the tip of his sword harder, making Orochimaru gasp for air, "but I pity you. And, you have power. I could use that power."

Orochimaru frowned. This wasn't going as planned- he was supposed to take Sasuke's body without any trouble…but Sasuke, he… "W-what is this?"

Sasuke had cast some sort of genjutsu, he was sure: purple mist drifted lazily above their heads, and for what he could see, they were being supported on air. Orochimaru glance a short glance around, and saw that he was tied down on as a 'T' shape on a gurney. Sasuke stood above him, frowning, as he sheathed his sword. "Orochimaru, this table you lie on is connected directly to my chakra. You aren't able to use my chakra," Sasuke smirked, "but I can use yours." Orochimaru scowled; this definitely wasn't what he'd originally planned. The plan was to get into Sasuke's head, but he didn't think it would be this literate. "You'll obey what I tell you to obey without question."

The snake sannin chuckled. "So demanding…just like your brother…"

Sasuke tensed, gripping the hilt of his sword again and grinding his teeth. "Don't you dare compare me to that murderer." The mere venom of his words made Orochimaru catch his breath, but Sasuke ignored him, turning to walk away. Orochimaru panicked.

"You're just going to leave me here?!"

Sasuke paused, not turning, as he sheathed his sword again. "…embrace the suffering, Orochimaru. It will just make you stronger." Then, smirking at Orochimaru's furious growl, he disappeared with a flicker.

"Sasuke…" the abandoned snake hissed, eyes flashing in anger, "I will get out of here, and when I do…" he chuckled, "…I will have your body and immortality!"
