Little water drops fell on the slippery, cold floor. Every noise made him more tense, shadows were dancing on the stone walls. He didn't move a muscle but was already getting annoyed. Sasuke wasn't the type that liked waiting. He looked around the big, dungeoun-like room and grunted. What followed didn't surprise him tough. In a poof of smoke appeared the Snake Sannin, wearing his usual outfit with a purple bow belt. His yellow snake-like eyes glowed in the dark even brighter then the torches on the walls. In a slow pace he started going towards Sasuke, who remained still. After he gritted with his teeth, a sure sign of annoyance, he said: "You know I hate waiting."
The Sannin smirked. "You have to learn to be patient, Sasuke-kun."
"Bullshit." The other plainly replied and started walking around. Sasuke couldn't understand why he had to go to that wet, dark and depressing place to meet the Sannin. After his fight with Naruto (a few days ago) he wanted more power. He used the Cursed seal and still didn't win. He had to be more powerful. It was the only way. And if he had to live with Orochimaru to that, he was ready. Even knowing that Orochimaru wanted his body.
"About time to go." The Sannin pointed at what looked like a whole but was filled with light - the exit. Sasuke quickly walked in the light of the setting sun. "You are ready for this?"
Sasuke nodded and closed his eyes for a second. Whatever would follow, he was ready. They jumped up and started bouncing off the trees in the direction orochimaru pointed. The Snake's Lair where Sasuke would spend two years...

Sasuke's PoV
Each day I feel weirder. It has been two years of living with Orochimaru and Kabuto and now it starts to get weird. There's this strange feeling that haunts me whenever Snakey's around. What the hell could that be?
I was dozing off when I heard a knock on my door. "You'd better know what I'm going to do now, Kabuto." I growled and jumped up, ready to beat the crap out of him. I jump-kicked the door and as it swung open someone caught my leg and threw me against a wall. "The hell?!" I shouted while getting up and regaining my senses. In front of me Orochimaru was snickering. "Why did you do that." I asked hoarsely. I so didn't expect that. I thought that it was damn Kabuto. I always beat him up when he annoys me but I don't allow myself to go that far with Orochimaru. He is more powerful than me (for now).
"I was coming to ask you to come with me and see something. The last think I expected was for you to attempt to attack me."
My eyebrows rose and I gritted my teeth. "Attempt to?"
He cleaned some invisible dust from his shoulder in an indifferent matter. "If you think that that was an attack than you have to learn so much more. I threw you at the wall without even trying too hard."
I've always admired his ability to mock me. It doesn't sound like he's putting too much in it but it does hit the right places. Damn pervert. He snickered once more as he always knows when he's said the right thing. He's quite interesting really. When he's not in the mood even I try to stay out, not talk about Kabuto. He's my punching bag most of the time and doesn't dare to say a thing because he's deathly afraid of Orochimaru. Poor soul. Give him a corpse and he's happy and rejoicing. His medical abilities are quite impressive tough. The annoying part is that he can heal instantly after I beat him up.
"I have to see what?"
Orochimaru grinned and pointed at the far end of the coridor. I followed silently, slightly dragging my feet to annoy him just a little bit. The end of the coridor, and our target, was reached quickly and something I never expected came before my eyes. On the big oak table lay his kusonagi sword, polished and shining. "Why is it there?" I asked bluntly only wondering.
"Isn't it obvious?," he hissed in my ear. "I'm giving it to you, Sasuke."
Susupicion rose in my brain. "Why." He must want something. I've heard him brag about the famous Kusonagi sword and how many people he had stabbed with sooo many times already. And now he was giving it to me?
"You deserve it." Something about the way he said those words made the hairs on the back of my hair stand. And there came that awful feeling again. I decided that arguing is out of the question. He was giving me something awesome! "Thank you." The two words he heard for the first and hopefully last time.

I woke up late in the night, all sweaty and exausted. I had finally understood what that feeling was. I had a crush on Orochimaru!
