Chapter 1:Her face

Sasuke longed for a hot bath and a nap that lasted at least 8-10 hours. He had been training a lot the last couple of weeks. He had barely slept during the whole time in hopes that the increased time spent on training will improve his training. As it turns out, you need your sleep…more than you think.

He had decided to go to the forest to train since Orochimaru seemed a bit occupied the last week or so. If his supposed master wasn't going to teach him, he wasn't going to waste his time sitting around. Which is what led him to stay in the forest and train by himself. He was actually glad about the change in scenery from the dark hideout to the green that surrounded him.

But, alas, he was back in the hideout because he wasn't learning anything new, just improving old Justus.

He was on his way to his even gloomier room, when he saw one of Orochimaru's many goons hurriedly making his way over to Sasuke. Sasuke stopped walking, waiting for the short bald man to approach him.

"Sasuke-sama. Lord Orochimaru requires your presence." The man said to Sasuke to which he nodded in acknowledgement. Sasuke turned to the hallway on his left to see what the sannin needed.

He sighed heavily, nearing the metal door to his master's chambers. 'So much for a nap.' He thought reaching for the door knob that was warm under his touch. 'Someone must've gone in recently' he contemplated for a brief moment and pushing the heavy doors open.

In front of him was Orochimaru with his sly smile. He was sitting on his bed upright, since he has become too weak to walk around much.

Sasuke stood at the foot of his bed waiting for him to tell him what he needed Sasuke for.

"How was training Sasuke-kun?" Orochimru asked innocently, yet Sasuke knew how dangerous his teacher really was.

"Get to the point. I'm tired." Sasuke replied annoyed. He was never good at small talk.

"Of course, of course." Orochimaru's smile widened giving Sasuke a sick feeling to his stomach. "I have a new prisoner. They are very valuable. I want you to get every bit of information they have in Tsunade…by any means." Orochimaru finished with an unnecessary pause.

Sasuke wasn't surprised. He was told to do this quite often. With his chidori waiting on his right hand, there was nothing anyone wouldn't give him. But he was tired and had other things to do, like sleeping.

But he thought about it for a moment as Orochimaru waited, 'So they are from Konoha.' He thought, who was stupid enough to get caught by orochimaru. 'Was it Naruto? He was definitely stupid enough.' Sasuke thought slightly worried he would have to face the blond boy. 'No. That can't be. He may be stupid but he IS still strong.'

"When do I have to start?" he asked without directly answering the question that was asked of him. It wouldn't matter who the prisoner was, he was done with Konoha. He broke those bonds.

"Whenever you'd like." Orochimaru answered motioning his hand to his right.

Sasuke followed his hand and saw Kabuto standing there with his hands behind his back, Sasuke narrowed his eyes. He hated the man. Quite possibly almost as much as he hated the walking mental hospital Sasuke referred to as his brother.

"Sasuke-kun." Kabuto greeted and Sasuke nodded in return.

"Behind this wall lies my precious prisoner. They are still unconscious. Why don't you go meet them?" Orochimaru said slowly taking twice as long to finish the sentence as an average person.

Sasuke didn't know why Orochimaru wanted him to meet them. This was unusual, he usually met them in the prison cell, right before Sasuke made them shit their pants.

But he followed Kabuto anyway. What was the point of asking, Orochimaru will smile creepily and won't tell him anyway.

Sasuke followed Kabuto and entered into a dark room with two lit candles on the back wall

The first thing Sasuke noticed as he entered through the entryway was the smell of medicine. Having spent a large portion of his life in hospitals he knew the smell right away.

"I gave her something. She was a little hard to keep still, you know." Kabuto said lifting one corner of his mouth in a smirk.

'So it's a woman' Sasuke thought looking around the room and finally resting his eyes on the wooden surface made to look like a bed. He took a step towards his prisoner but immediately stopped on his tracks. One of his feet were before the other and one was slightly off the hard ground beneath him.

The second this he noticed upon entering the room…was the pink. The color was in such contrast to the rest of the room that Sasuke wondered why he didn't notice it before. His whole body froze and he felt a shiver go up his spine making his hair stand on end.

He heard foot step somewhere in the background and knew that Kabuto has already left the room, leaving him alone…with her unconscious body. He found himself wishing it HAD been Naruto who had gotten caught after all.

Final willing his feet to take action, he walked to her side getting a view of her face.

Despite the cuts and the cruises in her face and neck and being unconscious, she is still the brightest thing in this otherwise dark room.

'5 years' he thought looking at her bruised face from beside her. She no longer looked like a child, he noticed. Her hair had dirt on it and he had the strangest sensation to reach out and remove that strand of pink hair that obscured him a full view of her face.

He turned on his heel abruptly and stomped his way out the door and into Orochimaru's room.

"She's weak. She wound be of no use to you. I should know...I was her teammate once." Sasuke said, his voice void of any emotions as he stood at Orochimaru's bed side.

"Oh I know she was your teammate. And I also know she has certain…feelings for you." Orochimaru said raising an eyebrow. "Which is exactly why I chose you for the job Sasuke-kun." He finished with a menacing smile that Sasuke wanted to wipe off his face, preferably with a knife…or an axe, either would be fine really.

Sasuke's blood was boiling inside. 'How dare this bastard take advantage of her feeling for him?' he thought fuming at Orochimaru's words.

"S0end her back. I'm sure she'll be just as useless as she was then." Sasuke said making sure his voice wouldn't give away anything.

Sasuke didn't wait for an answer from the snake sannin. He turned around and walked out the room unable to withstand his quickly increasing anger.

Orochimaru watched Sasuke's back as he disappeared behind the door to his room. Kabuto, who had been standing there the whole time, closed the door that Sasuke had left open.

"Well Sasuke-kun, then I suppose I'm going to have to take more drastic measures." Orochimaru said closing his tired eyes and shaking his head in mock disappointment.

But he opened his eyes slowly and smiled at Kabuto slyly who smiled back just as this whole picture gag-worthy "Kabuto, why don't you go and get me Osorochi-san."

"Yes Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto said bowing his head and leaving the room closing the door behind him.
