Chapter 1

Sakura was bored. She hated this place it was dark and dank, she was chained to the floor and could barely reach the mat that was her bed it had no blankets or pillows they had been confiscated due to her bad behaviour. The only other object in her cell was a toilet which was more of a pit in the ground. The metal chains cut into her red swollen wrists, they were thick and dented from where she had repeatedly tried to smash them open on the ground but knew it was hopeless. They had been designed especially for her to keep her locked up since she refused to obey him.

She seethed cursing him for her situation with nothing to do in the tiny cell she would think mainly of her parents and happier memories anything to rid her of the reality. She snorted, remembering her optimism at the start of her kidnap she would imagine the police rushing in shooting him dead then rescuing and delivering the scared her to her parents who would be crying that they had their little angel back as all three of them would embrace to never let go again. How naive I was. She had cried so much back then only to be beaten till she was quiet mostly because she would have passed out but now she no longer had tears they had dried out after a few months of this Hell not that she knew times and dates anymore, the whole hideout was underground away from curious eyes or any help.

But her defiance was strong and she refused to break, she couldn't- not like her other friends in this place, she knew if she broke she would never escape so with nothing to do and running out of happy memories she would plan. Although she would defy him she was never outrageous, a lot of her time in this place she couldn't remember and was told by her friends that it was due to her being sedated- now being asleep wouldn't help her out of the situation so she knew not to push the guy too far. She would imagine many plans but knew that most of them were useless, she didn't know the layout of this Hell much less if she did manage to get outside she would have no idea what to expect- the place might as well be on an abandoned island in the middle of nowhere. In addition she had tried escaping many times before only to fail get severely beaten and punished and shoved back into a cell, left alone. She often wondered why they bothered to feed her- okay she was considered a success and he no doubt did have high expectations for her if the number 2 tattoo on the inside of her left thigh was anything to go by- but he clearly hated her disobedience and strong will as he rarely ever used her although Sakura thought this was just fine as if she wanted to be used for experiments and 'testing' as it was called.

She smirked to herself, his dislike causing her this satisfaction. Yes she wasn't broken yet and her stubborn will refused to give up. I will beat the guy with a one hit KO! Just you wait you dirty snake! She would escape. She would get her life back from the man and most importantly she would make sure that in her escape she would have her friends with her.

OOOOOOOOO

It was cold and dark. She blinked her eyes opening slowly to nothing but darkness. She tried to get up but couldn't move her whole body was paralyzed and unresponsive to the commands her mind was giving it. As much as she could tell, she was lying down and alone as she heard nothing but a few drops of water escaping the leaking pipes and falling to splash on the floor. Her heart beat faster with panic but her body remained motionless, she wanted to scream but her mouth refused to open. She inwardly sobbed, how many times had it been now? When would it end? Hinata was one of his favourites to experiment on and test. She had been a rare success and a strong one at that although she refused in showing the man- the devil she thought- the extent of her abilities. She wondered if this small rebellion was worth it since this only caused the devil to want to help her develop them but still she wouldn't show him.

She was grateful that Sakura was so strong physically, mentally and emotionally. Really, Hinata couldn't help but think them as opposites of each other. They had become friends instantly with the bond of understanding of both being in this situation. Sakura had been here longer than herself yet Hinata needed Sakura's support. A determined look from those green eyes hardened Hinata's resolve against her predicament, small eyebrow twitches or nods of the head to let her know the plan of escape was still ongoing and not to give up hope. And Hinata's favourite interaction between them is the small mouth twitch –in place of a smile as they wished to hide anything and everything from the devil- to let her know that despite what she is, what she has done, that they are friends.

Their cell rooms were opposite each other with their other two friends on either side so the fit into a square shape but with a corridor through the middle of them. The cell was thick brick walls with a door to the side that had been modified to be made of thick bars and she knew that it was on purpose so the four could see each other. The devil thought their friendship was funny and enjoyed messing with it. To be able to see one another and yet not be able to help them in particular when that man's experiments sent them into fevers and delirium, all they could do was watch their friends suffering. They were too afraid to speak knowing the man would be listening. The worst times would be when they would watch each other being tested on. It would make her fragile body shake with fear and she would cry hysterically sometimes scream but that only made him laugh.

Excitement and anticipation. These brought Hinata out of her thoughts as they meant only two things: 1) those two emotions spelled her dread and 2) soon she would no longer be alone. On cue to her thoughts the door opened with a creak swarming the doorway with light from the torches in the hallway but blinding her to the two figures that stood in the now open doorway not that she needed to see their faces to know who they were.

"Number 3, today you will undergo further enhancement".

Hinata felt her heart stop. So her body's inaction meant drugs which meant she would be experimented on. She inwardly groaned at what the sick bastards wanted to do to her. She felt a cold thumb begin to stroke her cheek, the touch made her ill.

"We believe you may feel quite ill afterwards but don't worry we will look after you, you are important to me after all"

Hinata wanted to struggle to scream but as the injection to send her to sleep started to take effect, her eyelids became too heavy and they slowly shut, her heart beat involuntarily calmed to a resting pace and her mind drifted as she fell into a deep slumber.

The snake turned to his loyal assistant "will you be fine on your own?"

"Yes Orochimaru- sama, it will not take too long. I will just be measuring her brainwaves whilst exposing her to different stimulus during her nap" Kabuto snickered.

Orochimaru snickered as well "I see, well I'll come to see the results later, I do not wished to be disturbed as my pet needs some undivided attention".

With the conversation finished, the snake walked out the room closing the door to leave Kabuto with the slumbering Hinata.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Neji eyes stung from the light of the computer screen compared to the darkness of the room as it took its toll on his pale lavender eyes also he had no idea how long he had been there only that he knew it was too long. He had been another success of that dirty snake and hated the number 4 tattoo on his chest just above his belly button. He survived in this Hell thanks to his friends here although they were few. It wasn't long after he and Hinata arrived that they became friends with Sakura and were separated from the rest of the children. A harsh poke in his back made him grimace and turn his head to look at his supervisor a girl roughly his age willingly helping the devil Orochimaru. She had thick glasses and red hair and the less said about her slutty clothes the better. He had grown up in a strict well established household with high standards and morals and it disgusted him that people- women especially- could act or dress so trampy.

He wasn't in hell long before he was experimented on, he remembered waking up and hearing faint buzzing noises, he thought he had gone insane until he touched the electric door to his cell wishing it to open- and it did. However his freedom didn't last long as Kabuto their ever attentive doctor/ torturer caught him. His act led to more tests with him discovering he could now talk to computers, machines any kind of electrical device and get it to do what he wanted. Unfortunately his ability was easy to combat as it meant that they just had to keep him away from electrical devices and he returned to being the 12 year old child they had forcefully taken.

His ability was found to be useful to Orochimaru who instantly had him trained and taught to use a computer in hopes he would be an excellent hacker. It made Neji laugh as even if he wasn't trained in the conventional methods he was already an excellent hacker as he just had to ask the computer for help but the snake didn't need to know and during his time hacking he wasn't beaten only supervised closely so he wasn't searching things or doing anything he wasn't meant too though that just meant Neji had to be sly.

Neji couldn't understand why the man was doing this. He knew he was sadistic which explained the beatings and unnecessary torture but he seemed to be making his own super- soldiers. Why did he need them? Apart from making the numbers-as the man called them- develop their abilities he also had them trained in fighting and his favourites in espionage. All factors pointed to nothing pleasant but still Neji tried to fathom the sadistic psycho snakes mind but to no avail. Another harsh prod in the back, he growled this time.

"Why are you taking so long? Orochimaru- sama expected this to be completed 30 minutes ago". Karin's shrill voice grated the Hyguua's nerves but he grit his teeth. He was taking a long time because he wasn't trying he hated helping the snake with anything but remained obedient for Hinata's sake since if he stepped out of line she would be scapegoat.

Another reason being he was trying to search their location. He knew Sakura would be making an escape plan- she had little else to do- and he wanted to help by knowing how to get to safety. But it was difficult trying to connect to a satellite through a laptop as he had to hack into a high profile database who own a satellite that he could try to manipulate without their knowledge by having the satellite point to the location of the computer he was using, have it register the location and send it back to him. Only then could he look for a search around the general area which took time. All of which proved more difficult when a noisy tramp focused on his every move.

"Just a little more time" Neji replied perhaps he had spent too long this time he wanted to get back to HhihtiowhihHinata he was always worried about her, this Hell has already damaged her enough and only their little friendship group calmed her. Within seconds he got through the firewall of the server he was hacking into. He took a quick look into the FBI's missing children list before Karin realised and pulled his chair harshly away from the computer and calling more numbers to escort Neji back to his cell.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH"! He panted harshly gulping the air as if it was his last breaths. The knife had gone deep ripping through his flesh and muscle reaching bone. He hated the pain, he hated the man more. The knife withdrew with a sharp tug and his blood dripped out the wound freely, the warm liquid trailing down his cold skin a reminder he was alive and not dreaming.

Orochimaru snickered "there, there Sasuke- chan we have only just started to have fun".

The boy shivered and whimpered but did nothing to defy the snake. The soft sheets of the bed made his stomach churn indicating what was to eventually come. He preferred his cold dark cell at least there he was surrounded by his friends, their presence being enough to soothe him. He did whatever the man asked in hoping it would end the session more quickly his resistance had been beaten out of him a long time ago.

Sasuke had become a particular favourite of the snake partly due to his beauty: perfect pale skin contrasting with his silky blue tinted hair that spiked at the back yet at the front it formed two bangs framing his almost feminine features. He looked like a fragile porcelain doll that Orochimaru enjoyed in breaking again and again as the child's body fixed itself to perfection. Sasuke felt his muscles and skin knit together closing the wound barring any more blood flow the warm sensation of his healing was soon forgotten as he felt the knife again plunge again into him but this time ripping down the front of his right leg. He bit back a scream this time due to the man's earlier comment.

"You're special Sasuke- chan. I love you" Orochimaru whispered in Sasuke's ear. The pervert's hand slowly stroking its way up the boy's naked chest reaching and pinching his nipple. The boy moaned as he knew that was what the man wanted but he felt sick at the touch. His wrists were tied together with rope so tightly that it cut into his wrists with every writhe of his body drawing blood. Tears pricked his eyes when the man's tongue gently caressed his lips wanting to enter the boy's mouth. Sasuke shakily parted his lips a fraction giving entrance, the long tongue exploring the inside drawing the two into a deep kiss only withdrawing for air.

The cold knife scraped along his chest as he lay on the bed with Orochimaru mounted over him, he was quickly becoming numb to the pain, Sasuke had lost count to the amount of times the man had decided to test his limits. He closed his mind to the situation knowing the nightmares would come later on but that would be okay as he would have his angel then. He had been in this Hell so long and knew he would be insane if his pink- haired green eyed angel hadn't saved him when she did. He only regretted not being able to save her from this place which stole her smile away. But everything had its time.

Orochimaru's hands explored the boy's body. The boy panted heavily from the man's touches moaning and arching as his body had been trained too. The snake sucked at the boy's neck leaving marks his tongue trailing downwards to Sasuke's collar bone following it towards his shoulder where he bit hard resulting in an 'Ah' from the boy. The snake watched the skin heal itself, he coveted the power but any experiments proved futile he could not take the boy's immortality from him although his blood was a very useful cure not that Sasuke knew.

The boy's whimpers turned him on as he slid his hand towards the boy's genitals and felt the boy tense and watched Sasuke shut his eyes to contain the shudder. He slowly stroked the boy gradually picking up the pace as Sasuke let out his moans of pleasure, their mouths connecting again.

Orochimaru smirked at the power he had over the child he had spent a long time breaking the boy forming him to what he was. The boy was damaged and on the verge of being completely broken but that was around the time he found that pink haired brat. Her interference angered him making him unjustly despise the little girl. Sasuke was going to be all his, completely dependent on him, but she had ruined it. She made friends with him resulting in the Sasuke becoming attached to her instead of him- damn her- he had been so close.

Sasuke lay exhausted in the bed contaminated with blood, sweat and semen. His tears flowed freely down his face in remembering what had just happened although his body had already healed from the activity his mind had not. He longed for his pink angel as she made him see the light. He stared off into space waiting, he knew he was damaged and dirty but his mind told him it was better him than her. He wanted to protect the girl and to do that he needed to get her as far away from this Hell as possible. That's right Angels do not belong in Hell. Sasuke knew he was broken but he had a goal which was the last thread to keeping his sanity. Despite his emotionally damaged mind he was stubborn and determined and the goal could make his mind surprisingly clear. He knew being the sick pervert's favourite gave him the most chance of success in killing the guy nor did he have any qualms about doing the act –he killed before in his tests- the problem now was when and how to escape the place and how to tell the others of his plan.

Creak. The door opening drew him out of his thoughts as he studied the man who walked into the room. He would have smiled if he remembered how- but he didn't- as he saw number 8 standing before him. 'Finally' Sasuke thought 'an answer'.
