A/N: This is a sequal to Believe Me 100 Percent...I was suppose to post this last night, but I was too tired to after my track meet. This story is kind of a side project sort of thing, but I'll try to update often. Check my profile to see when new chapters may possibly come out and remember to REVIEW please!

Chapter 1: Released

The female figure of fifteen ran across the clearing and through the trees ahead. Finally, she can now finally find her brother, see his face, his smile. The thought of finally meeting her brother put a smile on her face, but even though she was very happy she has finally escaped from Orochimaru's clutches, after 15 long years, she didn't feel as happy as she thought she'd be. About 10 minutes of running later, she comes to a stop; she had reached another clearing. She notices that her breathing is heavy as she looks up to gaze at the night sky. Her hand slowly rises to touch her cheeks and realize that they were wet. When had she started crying?

She closes her bright blue orbs and breathes in the cool crisp air. Opening her eyes again, she smiles up at the starry sky. The sky reminded her of when she and Sasuke laid on that hill and fell asleep together under the stars. Clutching her chest, she nods to reassure herself. She must accomplish her goal; she must meet her brother. After all, there's no way Sasuke would chicken out, not this early at least.

Feeling more confident, the fifteen year old girl starts off again, but is soon tackled to the ground unexpectedly. She struggles to defend off her attackers, but it was three against one and they're strength overpowered hers. Someone ropes her neck off begins to scream, hoping someone would hear, anyone. However her screams were useless, for someone had struck her hard in the head, but before she blacks out, she sees a familiar man with gray hair and glasses.

Nayami lies on the floor in the dark stone room. The only light present was that of the torch on the wall and the torch in the hall. Her clean pretty face was hidden beneath a mask of dirt and grime. Her clothes were and her chained hands were tied to a wall. Her mouth muffled by a piece of cloth. How long has it been? How long since her attempted escape from Orochimaru, only to end up in one of his dungeon cells. She felt weak, worthless for she had failed to achieve her goal.

The door begins to creak open and a glimmer of hope could be seen in Nayami's blue eyes. Maybe he has finally noticed, maybe Sasuke has finally found her. Her eyes focused on the door in anticipation only to be disappointed. The shadowy figure that had walked into the room wasn't Sasuke at all.

Kabuto walked in holding a tray with two small loaves of bread and a cup of water. He looks down at the girl who lies before him and swallowed a feeling of pity he felt for her. How long has it been since she's been her? Six months? Before being imprisoned here, she was once so happy. Her eyes a once bright cerulean now a ordinary dull shade of blue, her beautiful golden hair now tangled and dead-looking, and her skin was grimy from the months without washing. He bends down to untie the cloth covering her mouth and begins to feed her.

The two of them are silent. She eats slowly as though it hurts to chew and swallow. She finishes the bread and moves on to drink water, which seemed to magically heal the dryness in her throat. A bit of water dribbles down the side of her chin and Kabuto uses a finger to wipe it up. He sighs when he sees her eyes again. They were now very watery…they glistened from the light of the single torch in this dungeon.

"You know you shouldn't have run off. You know I can't do anything about this." Kabuto grabs the tray and walks back to the door.

"How long will I be here?" Nayami croaks out. Her voice sounded very strange to her, probably because she hasn't used it in a long while.

Kabuto stops in his tracks and turns to look at the now sixteen year old girl. "As long as Orochimaru-sama says so…" He leaves the room, leaving her alone again.

A few hours passed or what seemed to be a few hours…who was she kidding? She had no idea how much time has passed. She knew not if it was night or day, if it was springtime or fall. But after Kabuto left, she was able to sense someone's presence outside of her door. It couldn't be Orochimaru. She would've been able to tell if it was. No, it wasn't him, maybe it was Kabuto again? But he had already visited her today…or was it yesterday? Either way, Kabuto doesn't come often. Nayami began to release the little chakra she had left, so that the person on the other side would know she's there. She saw the door knob begin to move…BOOOOOOMMM! Nayami's heart skips a beat at the sound of what seemed to be an explosion. The presence outside of her door began to move quickly away and Nayami silently begged for the person to come back.

Twenty minutes later, Nayami heard footsteps moving down the hall rather quickly. Again she releases all the chakra she has left. The footsteps stop in front of her door and a small smile begins to show on her face. But she's now feeling weak and closes her eyes, stopping her bursts of chakra. In her mind she Sasuke, same old, boring Sasuke with that same expressionless face. She laughed, surprising herself. She laughed again and again, until she began to cry. Focusing on the chakra she had left, she started to release a steady flow, praying to God that the person outside of her door would open it.

Her vision started to become fuzzy and it was starting to get hard to breath. It seems to be taking an eternity for the person on the other side to open the damned door. Finally, after what seems to be forever, she hears the sound of the door knob turn, opening the door. Who was it? Who was her rescuer? Nayami didn't know, for she had blacked out. The only thing she saw was figure dressed in orange and black.
