Slavery is a form of forced labor where a person is compelled to work for another (sometimes called "the master" or "slave owner").

Slaves are held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase, or birth, and are deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive compensation in return for their labor.

Evidence of slavery predates written records, and has existed to varying extents, forms and periods in almost all cultures and continents.

In some societies, slavery existed as a legal institution or socioeconomic system, but today it is formally outlawed in nearly all countries.

Nevertheless, the practice continues in various forms around the world...

"Name?" She was so tired; there was no reason to do this. She glanced at the clock on the wall 03:56 AM 'Any minute now' she thought. "Sakura" the lady in front of her was filling some form, she seem nice. Her eyes were dark brown, so full of emotion, life, hope... Sakura couldn't help the snore that escapes from her lips. That woman was more alive than her.

"Age?" The lady asked nicely, smiling at her. "19" snap! And like that her smile dropped down. Sakura smirked mischievously. She gets the same reaction every time.

"Where are you from?" this time the lady wasn't so nice "Soviet republic of Moldova" Ahhh the memories. She couldn't avoid the smile that came to her lips.

"Mind to tell me what happen?" 'Actually yes, cause if I open my mouth and say something I shouldn't, my family would die' Sakura thought, she was getting a little nervous, Where were they? What were they waiting? "Excuse me, Miss?" She had totally forgotten about where she was, normally they'll be here by this time. She took a sip from her soda, taking her precious time.

The door opened. She let the can back on the table and turned to see her savior.

The nice lady quickly stood and smile at the gorgeous men that came to the room. "Mr. Uchiha, what a surprise" Who was this man? Sakura was being victim of her nervous, she started to feel hungry and that was not a good sign.

"Please Yuki, call me Itachi" The handsome man, Itachi, said to her. He glance at Sakura, so quickly that she believe it was her mind playing with her, again. "And I'm here to ask some questions to this lady" Itachi said now looking at Sakura and giving her a polite smile, as if to make her relaxed, which awkwardly worked. "So if you please go back to your previous work, I will appreciate it very much" He led her to the door and once Yuki was safely out of the room, he shut the door into her face.

"So" Itachi begun to read the form Yuki was filling before he came. "Sakura, do you need something? Water, soda, a hamburger?" He was looking at her straight at her eyes as if searching for some answer. She was accustomed to people staring at her as if she was some kind of food, but never before she felt so intimidated. She started to play with her thumbs and shyly shook her head.

"Very well. Sakura, I need of your cooperation. So please, tell me" Itachi was sitting on the desk in front of her. She was looking everywhere, but him. She cleared her throat, 'Is Showtime' she thought.

"Well, I work at 'Lipstick' and there was a haul, everything happen so fast. One moment I was doing a lap dance and the other I was on the patrol on the way here." She said looking as innocent as she could, looking up to Itachi.

"I see" Itachi wasn't convinced enough with her answer. "So you're not going to tell me"

"But I already told you what happen"

"And what about your friends?"

"What friends?" This guy was getting into her nerves.

"The ones that came for you. Kabuto and the other one, he likes to talk to himself an..."

"Zetsu" Shit 'Stupid, stupid Sakura'

"Oh so you do know them?" He smirked when he saw her reaction. "Now Sakura tell me, tell me how did you get here? Tell me about your "debt" Tell me about Orochimaru" She shivered, that man.

Was it her or suddenly this room seem to get smaller?

Itachi didn't missed the way the girl shivered at the simple name.

There was a long time of silence, neither of them dare to break it, both were taking their time. This was her opportunity, it was now or never. And so she began.

-----------

"We're always looking for a better life, a way to improve, to succeed. Reach our goals. But back at home things weren't that easier"

Hope?

What hope?

"There was no job, no money. My family was dying of starvation. So, when a "friend"- or at least I thought he was my friend - offered to help me, I gladly accepted"

"I was going to work on some factory in Turkey, not a very well pay job, but at least it was something. After all this time - 2 years to be exact - I still remember the day my life change"

------------------------

It was a beautiful night. With a clear sky, full of stars. The light of the moon was the only thing you need to see the road, the calm breeze waving her hair, caressing her face sending shivers through her body. The warm of the car was comforting against the cold wind. They were going through Romania. She was anxious, nervous and she felt guilty. She didn't get the chance to say goodbye to her mom, or her little brother. Her father felt betrayed, she was a woman, and she should have stayed at her house. But that didn't matter, she was going to work, to send them the money, and she was going to go to school to be a Doctor. Someday, they'll understand and she'll go back home...

She fell asleep thinking in all the good things waiting for her.

"Hey, Sakura. Wake up" Someone was shaking her; she was too tired to open her eyes. "Hey sleeping beauty, we're here" In her sleep she remembers everything. She open her vivid green eyes to her new life.

"Morning, where are we?" She glanced around, this was not Turkey. She was confused and something inside her told her that things weren't fine. "Hey Luka, this is not Turkey" Luka was staring at the floor, biting his nails. "Luka?" Sakura started to panicking, something was off. She forced herself to wake up completely. Once she was out of the car she knew where they were, the border to Serbia, not right. She looked at Luka, he was checking his watch and glancing nervously around, Sakura was having problems to breath, what was happening?

She space out, she knew something was wrong and it was too late. She didn't notice when the black suburban park behind them. Suddenly Luka hug her, she was so still, so afraid. Once she had heard some rumors about this, but she didn't think something like that will happen to her, because those stories were lies, this didn't happen at this time. "I'm so sorry Sakura" Luka whispered to her ear.

Two big means came to them. One of them was staring at her, up and down, his eyes full of lust. Sakura shivered under his gaze. The other one was talking with Luka and he gave him an envelope. Luka opened it and pull out some dollars. He stares at the other men with disbelief. "Only $1.500? You said you'd give me more!" The men didn't even bother looking at him.

"That's why I don't like doing business with children" He pulls out his 9mm Parabellum and shot him at his temple. "Let's go" He took the money and climbed into the Suburban.

They led her to Serbia with a fake passport saying she was 18. Once they were there they took her to a beautiful mansion and she was introduced to Orochimaru. He look like a snake with those evil yellow eyes full of lust and excitement, his pale skin, and that tongue licking his lips.

"My, my look at you!" The man said to her running his disgusting hands through her body, pulling her to his chest, caressing her back, smelling her hair. She was getting sick. "You're such a pretty virgin, because you're a virgin right?" He was looking at the men who had brought her to him. They both nodded. "Perfect, you may leave" He point to the door "Kabuto will give you your money" Orochimaru turned her attention to her, cupping her face she look at him, her eyes full of tears, from tiredness and fear. "Don't you cry little one, you'll be fine. Everything is going to be fine" He hug her again running his hands up and down her back, trying to calm her. She started to cry. "Shhh little one, shh..."

After she was calm and relaxed, Orochimaru took her to the kitchen and he let her asked for everything she wanted. She ate very happy, maybe this man was good, maybe she could talk to him and he will let her go...

Never before she had been hit, not by his parents or someone else.

"How dare you! After all the good things I did for you! I take you out of that place you call home" He lifted her from her hair and drags her up the stairs "You are an ungrateful girl! And for that you deserved a punishment! I will teach you some manners!" He threw her to the bed and ripped her clothes of. His eyes were lost, like if he were in some kind of hallucination. Once she was fully naked he stares at her body licking his lips. He kissed her roughly on her lips and he bite her lower lip 'till it bled, she gasped for the pain and his tongue invaded her mouth. More tears run from her eyes. A pair of hands came to her breast and started to pinch her nipples. She cried from the pain. And he kissed her neck, biting at her collarbone. Running his tongue through her body...

She tried to fight, but her body shut down. She just stared at the ceiling with tears on her once vivid jade eyes, while her body was being raped on time, two times...

After a month or so, Orochimaru was trying to sold her to some cheap bar owner from Serbia. She was like a rag doll, she didn't eat or talk. She was dying slowly and painfully. And she didn't care.

"Sakura, Sakura please listen to me!" Ino, a beautiful blonde girl who had suffer the same thing, was her roommate back at the mansion. "You need to be strong, don't let him break you. One day, one day we will get out of here. Please Sakura listen to me" Ino was pleading as if her life was depending on it. "Come on baby, you can do this. Don't let him sold you" Ino hug her and she start to cry. She cry all night and Ino stayed with her, rooking her while humming a lullaby.

It was the hardest thing she have to do, talking to Orochimaru. But she was prepared; she knew what she have to do to convince him not to sell her.

"Sakura, love. What are you doing here?"

"I want to stay" Sakura whispered. She was so scare.

"Excuse me? I didn't catch what you say" Sakura let out a breath she was holding and walked with determination to Orochimaru.

"I want to stay" She told him, Orochimaru was fascinated with this new attitude she had.

"Oh really? And why should I keep you?" The girl was a total mess; her beauty was long gone, with all the weight she had lost and those black rings around her once beautiful green eyes. He was waisting money on her.

"Because I'm willing to do anything you want me to" And she sold her soul to the devil with that single sentence.

Soon she became, along with Ino, the favorite girls of Orochimaru. Both of them had some benefits, like the cars, or the opportunity to go out once at the week. Everything seem to be fine, and for some time she actually believe it. She was having fun; she had everything she wanted, just for sex. It was not a big deal.

But she made a mistake.

She try to run away. It seem pretty easy at the time, really.

She was going out with Orochimaru to some important dinner, she was going to make him drunk and she will go, she had everything she need, money, her passport - the fake one - and a fast car. She could do this. Ah, if only life was that easy.

She got caught at the border; they were already waiting for her. Obviously Orochimaru wasn't happy at her.

She was at the hospital for a month. Three broken ribs. Her left wrist broken too. She almost lost her sight from her right eye. She did lost part from her right ear, she hears at a 40 percent.

"Ah my beautiful Sakura, look at you" Orochimaru once came to see her. "So fragile" He run his hand through her hair. "Never, never try to do such a stupid thing like that again. Who knows? Maybe next time, I won't go for you" He kissed her on her lips, and whispered in her ear, that she was still her favorite girl.

And her "Debt" grew. But she learn something very important. If she by a miracle get the chance to run away, her family will be paying for her. With their life.

So maybe it was better for them if she stay away.

-----------------------

To say Itachi was amazed was really something, rarely something or someone amazed him. Sakura had told him her story without sharing a single tear, never her voice break, not even once. He was amazed.

"It really doesn't help if I cry" She said. Looking at him for the first time.

"I understand" Both of them were in silence for a long time. Sakura glanced at the clock 05:38 AM her body started to feel the lack of sleep. When was the last time she sleep at least eight hours? "So Sakura I have a deal for you" The voice of Itachi, so smooth and nice and gentle as if he was afraid to scare her, pull her out of La La Land.

"And that will be?" She really was looking forward to get out of here, the more time she past here, the more chances to have a face to face meeting with Orochimaru.

"For a long time we have been trying to get Orochimaru..." Sakura snorted, 'Yeah right, and I'm still a virgin' she thought, get to Orochimaru was impossible, he had too many connections. "I know all the connections he has, I just have a plan and you can help us, and help all the others that are in the same situation" 'This Itachi seems to know what he's getting into' Sakura thought. She let out a sigh, she was so tired.

"Ok, what do I have to do?"

"Is nice to know you're so willing"

"As long as I don't die. And I'm willing to do something, even if it helps a little"

"You're very brave Sakura"

"Or very stupid" Both laugh at this.

"Or that" Itachi sighed "Two of my best agents are trying to get inside their... business. Orochimaru already make an appointment with them"

"Ok, I'll help them. What are their names?" Itachi handed her two pictures.

"Uchiha Sasuke and Nara Shikamaru"....
