Silver Bells
by Kaline Reine

Note: This story is not cannon, nor is it intended to be. It takes place in sort of the same messed up universe as one of my really old fanfics, Chains and Bells. So it DOES NOT follow cannon and it is NOT meant to. Also please note that this Sakura is Sakura Uchiha, is my friend's OC (not mine) and is not the same Sakura from the show, nor is she based on her. They have the same first name only. Thank you. c:

This story is written for RukarioHadou and I hope she likes it. c;

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters/settings. This is just a fanfiction story.

WARNINGS: This story contains graphic adult content, including violence, torture, abuse of various kinds, incest, and explicit sex scenes. If you can't handle my sick and twisted mind then you, my friend, are reading the wrong story. Lol. It also may contain slight spoilers if you aren't completely caught up.

Chapter 1:

She was terrified. All she could see were the horrible iron bars that held her in a small damp cell. The walls were made of plain stone. She was angry, but could not find a way to escape. After days being spent locked up in here, her anger had eventually given way to sadness...

Sakura Uchiha sat in her cell, with her knees folded beneath her on a small cot. Tears streamed down her face, pouring out from her beautiful golden eyes.

She didn't even know what happened. The girl was just as confused as she was terrified. But she'd had the feeling that people had been watching her for some time now. Being a kunoichi, or female ninja, she wasn't oblivious, but she still hadn't expected such an attack from out of nowhere.

They'd taken her from her home in Konoha, the Leaf Village. She'd lived with her friend Kiba and his family since she was very young. They'd ambushed her when she was training in the forest alone before she could even tell which village they were from. They took her far away and locked her in this cell, without even saying a single word.

Above all else, Sakura just wanted to go home. She'd been locked in the prison cell with no food or water for the last few days. No one had come in, and she didn't see any other prisoners. She didn't have a single clue as to what they wanted from her. Or who these people even were... At first she'd cried out a lot, trying desperately to get someone to help her, but it was to no avail. By now she'd pretty much given up.

The silver-haired cat girl's seal tipped ears perked up the moment she heard the door to the small dungeon unlock. She needed to talk to someone, to see what they wanted from her so she could get out of here... If they'd wanted her dead, they would have surely tried it by now.

A dark figure approached. She could hear soft footsteps, the feather light movements of a skilled ninja. Black hair fell around his face in spikes, accenting his dark almond eyes. The face of her own brother stared back at her.

"Sasuke..." She gasped in surprise.

"Hello little sister." He grinned from ear to ear.

'After so much time has passed... This is what he says to me?' She wondered, as she stared at him for several moments in silent awe. She narrowed her eyes, causing the light to glint off of them with an eerie glow. 'How dare he!'

Sasuke had left the Leaf Village a long time ago. It was when his sister Sakura was still small. He'd betrayed his comrades and sworn to kill their older brother, Itachi. He wanted to get revenge on him for killing their entire clan, including their own parents. No one had seen either of the Uchiha brothers in years. But she recognized both of them easily, from the Bingo Book used to identify rogue ninjas and other criminals.

It was said that Sasuke had left the village to team up with Orochimaru, the fabled snake Sannin warrior. As for Itachi... He had supposedly joined an elusive criminal organization, known as Akatsuki. They were extremely powerful and very evil. But Sakura knew his reasons for what he did. There was always a reason... Sasuke, on the other hand, was so impulsive. She couldn't believe he would turn his back on everyone, including her. It was far more villainous than what their older brother had done.

"Where have you been Nii-san?! Everyone's been looking for you!"

The cat girl suddenly leapt up and grabbed onto the bars surrounding her cell. She couldn't let him do this! Her long silver tail swished back and forth, in annoyance.

"I know." He spat on the ground, cold and uncaring. "And so what? I don't need them. I've found a new path to follow. This is the only way I could achieve my goals."

Sakura shuddered, suddenly getting a very bad feeling... "Where are we? Why am I here?"

"You'll figure it out soon enough."

"You'd better tell me! Right now!"

"Alright." A sinister smirk crossed his otherwise stoic features. "You are in a holding cell in Orochimaru's lair. We are in Sound Village. We've kidnapped you, and you will remain here with us. You're important to his plans. But a real kunoichi could have easily figured that out for themselves. Tch. Oblivious as ever..."

'The snake man? Oh no!' She thought. 'He's scary!' But she forced herself to put on a brave face.

"Whatever..." Sakura mumbled. "I'll do whatever I have to do. Just let me out of here and get me something to eat. I want to go home."

"You're not the one who calls the shots here." Sasuke narrowed his eyes at his sister, who he hadn't seen in many years.

He held only disdain for her. It was a well known fact that she didn't agree with what he was doing. She had always defied him. She wanted to interfere with his main objective, and that was something he just could not allow.

"Tell me, brother... Why did you leave? Why did you abandon me too?!" Tears tugged at the corners of her eyes. "It hurt enough when Itachi left! You're worse than him! Worse than scum! I hate you! I hate you!"

Her anger grew so intense, that she began to change... She partially transformed, revealing the glowing aura of the two-tailed cat beast that lie dormant within her. The Uchiha clan had sealed it inside of her when she was a baby. They'd planned to use her as a weapon in their hidden agenda to take over Konoha. She knew everything about it. She'd grown up as the Uchiha clan's best kept secret.

"Do you even know why he killed all of them? Do you dare ask? I can tell you..." The beast asked him, sounding very demonic. Her brother did not speak, just continued to stare her down.

Itachi was the one who had saved her, back then. He'd turner her over to the Hokage, pleading for her life, along with Sasuke's. But Sasuke had grown up to be an ungrateful little brat!

The beast's eyes glowed a violent, shocking gold. Her tail had nearly doubled in length, and her ears had gotten larger and more noticeable. She was ready to kill at any given moment... If only she could get through the bars. Her older brother wouldn't stand a chance against her, even partially transformed.

But... It was no use. She couldn't reach him. There was no way through, and not even her lengthening claws, hard as diamonds, could cut through the cruel unyielding chakra-proof steel.

Sakura knew she would have to regain control, lest the beast take her over completely... On the onside, she was still crying. A deep sadness had sunken into her soul. Slowly, gradually, she soothed the giant cat. She would calm it until it purred, if that's what it took.

'No matter what, I will not allow myself to become a weapon like my cursed clan wanted!' She thought. 'No! I won't give in!'

The girl fought her inner demon for control. Eventually, she won. Sasuke could tell she was going back to normal. He'd seen her have a few outbursts like this before, although they were rare.

She said it all in a single word, posed as a question.

"...Why?" Her voice was shaking, but she'd gotten it out.

Sasuke chose not to even answer her question. It really irked her when she was ignored. "I could probably get you out of here and set you free, if you agree to one thing."

"What's that?"

"Join me on my quest to kill that bastard brother of ours."

"Never!" Sakura adamantly shook her head back and forth. "Never ever! You hear me?!"

"Fine then." He hissed. "Have it your way..."

He turned his back and left her alone again. The door slammed shut with a thunderous echo. Sakura slumped to her knees, defeated...

Notes: Next chapter will be longer. Thanks for reading and I hope you like it so far...
