Chapter ONE
Trying to spend all his pent up anger in one go, Uchiha Sasuke smashes the butt of his sword into the temple of the Sound shinobi with more force than necessary. The man crumbles, out before he even hits the ground.
A round of applause echoes through the underground training field. The Uchiha looks up, onyx eyes narrowing dangerously.
Orochimaru had perched himself on the stairs by the entrance, gold eyes gleaming even in the dim light. "Too easy for you, Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke ignores the question, instead shooting one of his own. "When are you going to send me out?"
Orochimaru simply chuckles, dismissing the threat. "Patience, Sasuke-kun, is a virtue."
Sasuke resists the urge to snort. He neatly flicks his sword, flinging the blood off the blade.
"If you're that bored, perhaps I can give you something to entertain yourself with?"
Sasuke lets out a soft growl, not liking the mocking tone.
As expected, Orochimaru ignores him and instead, he casually glances over his shoulder. "Kabuto."
The grey haired bespectacled man appears behind his master, as though he had always been there. "Orochimaru-sama?"
"Give Sasuke-kun directions to the fourth floor."
"Fourth floor, Orochimaru-sama?" Kabuto asks. He shoots Sasuke a skeptical look, something that makes Sasuke want to Chidori him. "Do you not need the Uchiha alive?"
Orochimaru places a finger on his chin. "If he cannot handle it, perhaps I'll need to look for another vessel."
Sasuke narrows his eyes again, teeth clenched. He hated it when people talked as if he weren't there.
"Very well." Kabuto made a gesture with his hand. "Come, Sasuke-kun."
Sasuke stays stubbornly rooted to his spot. "What are you talking about?"
Orochimaru shoots him a look of amusement and concealed mockery. "You'll see."
Sasuke decides he did not like the smirk on Orochimaru's face either.
"Who knows?" Orochimaru continues. "Maybe she'll come to like you."
"She?" Sasuke asks
"Just go, Sasuke-kun." Kabuto calls.
Sasuke sneered. "I may just end up killing this 'she'." With that, he sheaths his blade and turns dismissively towards the stairs.
"Oh, I'm sure you'll like her." Orochimaru says.
Sasuke decides that it was not worth picking a fight over something like this. Ignoring the man, he follows Kabuto out of the room.
The fourth floor was a restricted area reserved for Orochimaru's experiment purposes and while curious, Sasuke had never actually felt the need to explore it. On the third floor, Sasuke can already hear the screams of some of the experiments. Sasuke glances at Kabuto who simply shrugs, completely unaffected. The former Konoha Shinobi leads him towards the stairs without stopping.
The smell of blood reaches his nose before they had even reached midway of the stairs. Kabuto, however, doesn't seem at all fazed and Sasuke molds his face into a mask of indifference.
Kabuto says a few words to the guard stationed at the stairs then leads the way deeper down the corridor. Sasuke can't help but glance around at all the people chained down, some clutching at the bars of the cells, mouths wrenched open in soundless screams while others simply lay there, unable to move. He casually steps over the hand that grabs for his ankle.
"Unpleasant, isn't it?" Kabuto asks, as though he were talking about the weather.
Sasuke does't grace the man with a reply but Kabuto simply shakes it off. "Almost there." He nods at another guard and stops at the end of the corridor. He places a hand on the wall and sends a pulse of chakra through. Sasuke feel the ground shift and watches the wall slide to the side and reveal a set of stairs.
"If you survive, I think you'll be coming here often." Kabuto says. He flicks a switch and the light flickers on, revealing the staircase to go down much further than Sasuke had first thought.
Sasuke notices that the smell of blood gets stronger the further down he went.
At the bottom was a simple metal door. Kabuto once again uses his chakra and the door opens with a series of clicks.
Sasuke is about to follow, only for his feet to freeze at the door. The room was simple and was almost identical to his own. However, unlike his room, where the wall paper was a dull shade of grey, this one was a gleaming bright crimson, and it takes him only a second to recognize it as fresh blood.
He forces his eyes to move and they land on lone figure within the room, because the thing this person was crouched by was so deformed that it could only be called a lump of meat.
The person, a girl, Sasuke notices, slowly looks up and Sasuke finds himself looking into the most piercing pair of emerald green eyes he had ever seen. If that hadn't been the most stunning thing about her, it would be her hair, which was a bright shade of pink
"Kabuto?"
At the girl's voice, Sasuke snaps out of whatever trance he had been in. He turns to the man, who was smiling. "Hello, Sakura-chan."
The girl, Sakura, once again turns to look at Sasuke and tilts her head. "Who's that?"
"This is Uchiha Sasuke." Kabuto says. "Orochimaru-sama wants you to entertain him."
Sakura's eyes brighten at the mention of the Snake Sannin and Sasuke comes across the next shock of the day. "Otou-sama?"
He frantically searches his mind for something, anything, about the Snake Sannin having a daughter, but he comes up with nothing. He shoots Kabuto a look but the man simply continues smiling. "Yes."
Sakura stands up, not seeming to mind the splatters of blood that dirties her dress and stains the floor. She bounces over and stops in front of him. "Hi, Sasuke." She smiles, a cheerful expression that did not match her bloody hands. "I'm Sakura."
"Orochimaru-sama needs him alive." Kabuto says slowly. "If you can promise that, you can take him out, okay?"
Sakura blinks a few times, as though she was registering his words, before her smile widens and she nods her head a few times. "Okay."
Kabuto pats Sasuke's shoulder then pulls his hand away before Sasuke can shrug it off. "Don't let her wander off soon her own." He whispers, so that only he can hear. "Good luck." He whispers mockingly. He is gone before Sasuke can stop him. The door closes and Sasuke is left with this mystery girl. He notes that the door hasn't been locked, before he turns back to the pinkette standing in front of him.
"So, Sasuke, what would you like to do?" Sakura takes his hand and Sasuke holds back the urge to yank it free. Sakura simply grins at him and leads him into her room. She pauses beside the body she had previously had her hands buried in and frowns.
"I'll have him taken away later." She mutters, more to herself than to him and turns away from it. She places Sasuke so that he was sitting on her bed and sits next to him. "What do you want to do?" She repeats.
Sasuke is still in a mild state of shock but he forces his thoughts away from it for the moment. "What can we do?" He asks. He glances down at the bloody hands clutching at his sleeve, slowly soaking it crimson. He tells himself to endure it.
"We can go out." Sakura says. "I can show you around!" She jumps to her feet, mind made up. "I stay here most of the time, so I don't really know much, but we can explore."
Sasuke finds that he doesn't have the heart to tell her that he had been here for half a year, more than enough time for him to memorize the layout of the base. Instead, he asks, "You don't go out often?"
Sakura looks at her feet and nods. "I'm not allowed to." She shrugs. "But I can now cause Kabuto said we could." She leans in, eyes wide. "So, would you like to?"
Sasuke simply nods. "Hn."
Sakura frowns at him a little but she accepts his answer. "That's great!"
Sasuke watches her stand and skip towards the door.
He would have to include her in his report back to Konoha.
