Don't kill me! *looks around to see everyone going about their business* Well…okay then…I'm going to be writing my first chapter fic. I'm going to say now that updates will be a little slow, but they will be here shortly…hopefully…maybe…I have no idea...

I apologize if this chapter is a little off, because I can never get the beginning to flow right in a story. *sweatdrop* I'm still a little cautious about posting this story because the idea of it came from a book. It follows the book's story line. And BlushingMarionette nearly killed me when I said that I won't write it. *rubs shoulder* That person has a good left hook. Well on with the story!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto written by Kishimoto Masashi. I DO NOT own 'Pleasure of a Dark Prince' by Kresley Cole. I DO own a couple of OCs (they are all minor characters) that will be showing up in this story.

Warnings (just for this chapter): Hurt!Sasuke, Awesome!Sakura and more to come…

Burning Desire for a Touch

Prologue

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

The dark corridors showed a shape of a body moving in them. The shape of a fifteen year old boy running in panic, always glancing over his shoulder making sure that his master wasn't chasing after him. His breathing coming out in pants, he had to get out. He couldn't stay there any longer. Finally after what seemed like hours of hunting for a door, the boy found a door leading outside. But when he pushed it open, he saw that the estate of his master was on a cliff, and going back to find the front entrance didn't sound every appealing to him.

"I have to do it, I have to. To get away from him!" the young boy said in pain. The ropes that had held him on the altar for his master had cut into his skin and made him bleed. Not to mention that his wounds of his punishment for biting the Master were starting to open, pouring blood down his back. The waves crashed against the cliff and the boy's mouth went dry. He knew he was going to have to get hurt to leave this place. The boy's body started to tremble, and then the boy flung himself off the edge of the cliff. Praying with all his might that Sakura would find him in time and save him.

And Sakura did just that.

Sakura held the broken and bloody body of Sasuke in her arms, crying silently over him. The rise and fall of Sasuke's chest was painfully slow, but it was still moving. Sakura looked up just has Sasuke's eyes fluttered open, his eyes unfocused, but still open. "Hurts…make it stop…" Sasuke muttered out to Sakura. Sakura's eyes closed in agony. Her best friend had jumped to save himself from that monster, and she; she left home knowing that she could never come back once she left that plane. But lightning flashed, lighting up the mountain over some distances away, there lived the goddess that fought Sasuke's master every five hundred years.

Sakura slowly got up and she shifted Sasuke in her arms to make him comfortable, taking off at a speed that made her just a blur to the human eye. Dodging trees and many of other dangerous things that were in the forest that surrounded the huntress of the northern wind's mountain, Sakura made the journey up the mountain for her best friend. Climbing up the mountain side, hauling Sasuke's body on her back, Sakura's body faulted many times in the climb but she keep on pushing to save Sasuke.

Finally, when Sakura reached the opening of the Goddess's temple, and before the Goddess could say anything, Sakura laid Sasuke down on the sacrificial alter just yards away from the entrance. Sasuke's unconscious mind started too awaked from the yelling voices in the temple. Looking around himself, Sasuke found he was lying on the altar, and stomped on the urge to roll his eyes. He was in too much pain to even laugh at the look on Sakura's face when Anko, the goddess, said that she wouldn't save him. "Save him now, Anko!" Sakura screeched at the goddess. Anko just sneered and flipped her hair that was incased in a ponytail over her shoulder again.

"Why should I? You brought this," Anko pointed to Sasuke, "bloody creature on my altar and desecrate my temple! You deserve my wrath, not my help, Valkin." Sasuke could hear Sakura grinding her teeth in fury at the goddess. Sasuke knew that Sakura was getting ready explode on the goddess. Sakura – just at the tender age of twelve, and one of the Valkin species as well – glared up at the goddess. "What exactly could you do to Sasuke! Murder him, torture him? Oh well, too late! That's been done, as you can plainly see." Sakura said glancing down at the goddess's feet knowing that beneath that robe she was bare foot, Sakura was thinking of stomping on the goddess's feet. Sasuke struggled against the pull of the darkness in his mind.

"Don't hurt…not her…fault." Sasuke said managing to grit out from in between clenched teeth that were pulsing with pain just like every other part of his body. Both of the female's head snapped to him at his words. Sakura looked at Sasuke with regret in her eyes, before turning back to the goddess. "Why bring him here? I have nothing to do with the Valkins." Anko said looking rather bored with this conversation. Sakura's body froze and then straightens up quickly, "Because the one that did this was your enemy, the one just a few miles away!" was the forced reply to the goddess's question.

Sasuke glanced at the goddess just in time to see interest flicker in her eyes. Anko turned to face her servants, "Take the little one back down the mountain. I will deal with this one." Anko said looking back at Sasuke's shuddering form. The servants made a grab at Sakura but she dodged made a go for Sasuke. "No! Go…with them…Sakura." Sasuke managed to choke out. The female Valkin looked like she rather not, but she stood still and the servant grabbed her about the waist. And before they were out of hearing range Sasuke heard one of the servants yell 'Little bugger! She bit me!' and then they disappeared from Sasuke's hearing.

"Now why should I save you? If I do this, I would be giving you some of my power. Why should I when all of the others have to work for the skill that you would receive if I granted your wish and saved your pathetic life." Anko drawled out, sitting back down in her seat. Sasuke choked on the blood bubbling in his throat but answered with, "I would become…pure. And never trust men…again." Anko looked amused at Sasuke's answer. But stood and walked over to the dying boy.

"You would suffer just like the rest, Valkin. You are to be perfect with the bow. Being able to shot far and wide, but miss and feel the pain of thousand deaths that you are about to feel now." Anko said has she bent down and kissed Sasuke's forehead. Once Anko moved back, Sasuke's body arched up off the altar and Sasuke screeched. Lighting flashed outside of the temple, Sasuke's eyes closed in pain which was more pain than being slammed into the rocks at the bottom of the cliff. It felt like thousands of needles were entering his skins and being twisted and yanked out, over and over again.

Sasuke's muscles that had been torn apart from the fall started to melt back together. All the pus and the blood began to sizzle away into nothingness. The bones that had been broken grinded together like they were being sewed back together. Once the pain started to fade, Anko's face pulled into a deranged smirk. "You are to be his jailer, facing him every five hundred years, like we did in the past!" Anko laughed. Throwing out her arms, Anko spun around and finally stopped to look at Sasuke. Sasuke felt fear and panic pulse through him once the goddess's eyes landed on his. "Welcome to our world, Sasuke. You are a Fire Archer," Anko grinned in an evil way, "and will forever more be nothing else!"
