Trapped in an enemy village and surrounded by foes who would gladly kill her or do worse things to her on all sides, Sakura Haruno finds herself a helpless prisoner in Otogakure unknown of what will happen to her, the only solace she may find is that of one who she is forced to wed who also is unhappy with their predicament.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
A young girl with pink hair sat by herself in the cell, looking downtrodden. She was covered in dirt and grime as the room was poorly lit leaving her in the dark. She was pale due to the lack of sunlight. Her outfit was ruffled up and dirty and she knew she hadn't bathed in days since she had been captured as she slept on the cold ground. She ignored her stomach which begged for food as she rarely had been given much to eat, just enough so she wouldn't starve to death.
Days that felt like months, Sakura Haruno sat in the cell peering through the bars of it. Lines and markings were on her arms, to suppress her chakra and prevent her from using super strength to break free from her cell. But even if she could get free, she would be surrounded by hundreds of ninja who would kill and maim her without a thought or hesitation.
She was a prisoner, a captive of Otogakure The Hidden Sound Village by Orochimaru The Snake Sannin and Traitor to Konoha The Hidden Leaf Village. She was his prisoner and she did not know what would be her fate here. She had heard the screams of prisoners and those who would be experimented on and she had did everything could to shut them off, who knows what horrors was experimented on.
Sakura aimlessly drew in the dirt a picture of a face of a boy with spiky hair and markings on his cheeks. She almost smiled as he resembled that of Naruto Uzumaki, her teammate and best friend. "At least you're here with me in someway." She said with a sad smile as a tear formed in her eye.
Sakura had been captured by The Sound Ninjas during a mission that had turned into a wild brawl between her team and them. She had fought well, using what her Sensei Tsunade had taught her over the three years to increase her strength. But she had been knocked out and taken captive. She did not know what had happened to Naruto and the others, if they were alive or dead, or if she would ever see them again.
Sakura sniffed a bit as she let the tears fall freely at what had happened. Freely crying at the feeling of hopelessness inside her body. She let the tears fall down her face as they slid down her cheeks and into the dirty ground of her cell.
The door to her cell suddenly opened much to her surprise, she covered her face as the light was bright and stung her eyes.
"Get her," A voice said and she recognized it as one she hated. That of Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru's sycophant and second in command who was his spy in Konoha for many years.
Two Sound Ninjas approached the cell and opened it and walked in. Sakura gasped as she saw one without caring at all stepped on and destroyed the drawing of Naruto as she was grabbed by the shoulders and forced to her feet. Sakura struggled but didn't have the strength to fight back and was struck across the back of her head by one of them.
"Enough!" Kabuto said with a warning tone to them. "She is not to be harmed, bring her with us." He ordered and they brought her forward. Sakura glared at Kabuto who smirked amused at her as she was still defiant towards him.
"Orochimaru-sama wishes to see you. Let her walk on her own, she won't try anything." He said to the men who let go of her.
Without a choice Sakura was forced to exit the cell and follow Kabuto as she was led.

A figure stood calmly in the room as he stared as none other than The Reviled Snake Sannin Orochimaru sat calmly on his throne which was made down to the arms to resemble a Snake. He stood there his arms folded as he wore a white outfit and had white hair and two red dots on his forehead and a pair of stoic green eyes that stared ahead.
Kimimaro Kaguya looked on at his master, who seemed to be in a jovial mood today. But no matter what type of mood Orochimaru was in, happy or upset. Someone was likely to be in pain soon.
It had been three years since Kimimaro had nearly died and he believed he had against The Leaf Ninja and the unexpected appearance of The Suna Ninja as well. He had been mere inches away from impaling both of them through with his attack. One second and they would've been torn to shreds by his attack.
By The Disease, The illness that had plagued him for so long had seemingly took his life, killing him at the last moment before he could do it. Kimimaro had slumped over into a death like state, passing onto to the next world.
Or so it was believed, as Orochimaru a week after his new favorite had come had ordered Kabuto to find his body. Kabuto had discovered him and saw that he wasn't dead, only in a comatose state. Orochimaru had ordered him brought back and for Kabuto to heal him despite his protests that it would take months to do so.
It had taken Kabuto over half a year, but he managed to heal Kimimaro of his disease and bring him back to the land of the living out of his coma, so that he may serve his master again as a reward.
In truth, The last of The Kaguya would have preferred death after what had happened. He saw that Orochimaru, the man he had served faithfully and zealously for most of his life, no longer cared about him as he had a new favorite now. The defector from The Leaf village, Sasuke Uchiha.
Kimimaro looked on as he had done his jobs and tasks for his master, which involved cutting down any Orochimaru wanted him to kill but he had no heart in it anymore. Resenting his fate over what had happened as the man who had been more of a father to him than his own parent had deemed Kimimaro inefficient now and no longer necessary for him and use as a body. That he didn't need Shikotsumyaku, his Kekkai Genkai, Dead Bone Pulse that which made Kimimaro one of the most dangerous ninja in all The Elemental Nations anymore now that he had Sasuke and The Sharingan for him to have.
Kimimaro frowned thinking of The Uchiha who had defected from The Leaf and had come in and began training under Orochimaru, to be given the power so he could kill his brother Itachi. Orochimaru spent most of his time anymore with him, rarely giving anyone else who worked under him a glance. As if they were all meaningless now. Kimimaro's Cursed Seal of Earth no longer worked now. Apparently it was The Seal of Heaven that mattered most.
"You should cheer up Kimimaro-kun." Orochimaru said amused as he watched his subordinate frowning. "Today is a joyful day for you, a day I think you'll find most interesting." He told him and Kimimaro stared at him not understanding. "Don't think I've forgotten about you, you still have a place for all you've done in me. I have something special arranged just for you." He said with that smile which he often had on his face before he did something horrible.
The doors opened and Kimimaro looked and saw Kabuto enter and with him forced to follow him was a girl. The girl who had been captured a week ago and brought here. Kimimaro thought of her name, Sakura something.
"Presenting Sakura Haruno." Kabuto said with a smile as he stepped out of the way so Orochimaru could look at her.
"It's customary for visiting ninjas to kneel when in the presence of a Kage." Orochimaru said to her.
"You're no Kage." Sakura said in defiance as she glared at him. Although he called himself The Otokage, none of the Other Great Villages allowed or accepted it. Sakura saw it as mockery of those who had obtained and worked to obtain that title such as Sarutobi.
"KuKuKu," Orochimaru said cackling in amusement. "A week in the cells with little food or water and you still have defiance in the face of all odds. I like you, Sakura-chan." He said teasing her and Sakura if looks would kill would've have turned him into nothing more than a pile of ash right now. Same with Kabuto as well who was smirking.
Sakura felt someone staring at her and she turned her head to look over at Kimimaro who was looking on at her with little interest, emerald meet jade eyes as they made contact with one another. Sakura turned her head back to face Orochimaru as he was talking again.
"Today is a day of Celebration, as I have a grand announcement that involves the both of you." He told Kimimaro and Sakura who looked at him. Kimimaro with impassiveness, Sakura with open hatred. "Kimimaro it's been what ten years since your clan was destroyed?" Orochimaru asked him.
"Yes…Master." Kimimaro said as it had been that long since his entire family and clan was wiped out.
"I thought so, and Sakura you are fifteen correct, on the cusp of womanhood. No doubt many of my men would fancy you if they saw you after you've bathed." He said to her and she glared harder at him as she had noticed many of the males around his compound leering at her. "You should know that it's only because of my generosity, that you have not been harmed by anyone."
"Thank you Orochimaru, this place isn't The Ritz, but I've enjoyed my stay here despite having to sleep on the dirt." Sakura said sarcastically and Orochimaru cackled again that which sent chills down her spine.
"Yes, a fine Bride she shall make you Kimimaro."
"What?" Kimimaro said in surprise.
"W-What?" Sakura said as her face turned into shock.
"This is what you wanted isn't it Kimimaro?" Orochimaru said to him. "To restore your clan correct, she shall be the one to do it."
"Orochimaru, I-" Kimimaro started to say but was ignored.
"You two shall be wedded in three days, you will take Sakura as your wife and you as your husband." He told them. Sakura had a look of horror on her face at his words. "You shall be married and you shall take her to your chambers and bed and how they say, do your Marital Deed." Orochimaru said with a grin.
"No," Sakura said in horror as what she heard. She was forced to be wed against her will to the person she had just met in the room?
"You will give her your seed," Orochimaru went on as both were shocked at what he was saying while Kabuto looked on in amusement at their reactions. "And she will bear you a child or perhaps multiple children. And The Kaguya will be restored and the beginning of a new army of soldiers for me will be started once I have taken Sasukes' body."
"No!" Sakura shouted in defiance. "I won't do it! I'll never marry him!" She shouted tears pouring down her face at what she was facing.
"So sorry my dear," Orochimaru mockingly comforted her taking pleasure in her suffering. "There is nothing to be done about it. You will marry him, and you will provide me with future generations of soldiers." He said narrowing his eyes dangerously.
"You monster! Please I beg you!" Sakura sobbed
Kimimaro could only stand there as he listened to Sakura cry her heart out, he looked over to her as she sank to her knees over her fate.
She wasn't the only one who hated what was going to happen.
A/N: That's it for this chapter Review please. A timeline to this is that when Kimimaro seemingly died fighting Gaara and Lee, he actually slipped into a comatose state and would've died in a month or so due to lack of nutrition. Kabuto found him and brought him back and using his medical skills restored him and removed the disease. However, with Sasuke now there Kimimaro found himself in a position of being discarded by Orochimaru who was now focused on The Uchiha as his next vessel, leaving him just as a common foot soldier. After Three years and The Kakuzu and Hidan arc but before The Three Tails Arc in The Anime Sakura was captured during a mission and brought to Otogakure.
