Drip. Drip. Drip.
The sound was the only thing that the boy could hear as he returned to the world of the living. His eyes were heavy and he barely managed to pry them open. Groaning in displeasure, his eyes only found a blanket of darkness except for one small dose of light in the corner that was flicking back and forth. Trying to make out his surroundings he found out that he was in a bedroom, lying on a king-size bed staring up at the transparent silk canopy that draped overhead.
'Where...where am I?' That was the first thing that the thirteen year old Sasuke pondered as his eyes flickered back in forth just like that light in the corner.
"So I see you have awakened." A silk smooth voice hissed from within the darkness causing the boy to still with fear.
The Uchiha's eyes were darting everywhere to locate the source of the voice. But all hell froze over when he saw a figure step into the light. He had long black hair that ended at the end of his shoulders, bright golden snake-like eyes that could see into your very soul, and skin that looked so pale you could call him a ghost.
"Who who are y-you?" The boy stuttered, cursing at himself for showing such fear towards this stranger.
The man raised a thin black eyebrow. "You don't remember, Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke looked at the man in confusion. 'Remember what?'
Seeing the confused expression on the young boy's face the man chuckled. "I'm Orochimaru, your Master." Orochimaru stated with a sly smirk drawn across his face.
"M-my master?"
"Yes your master, Sasuke-kun." The snake-like man strutted across the room till he was standing beside the bed and peering down at the boy. "You've been out for almost five hours now. I thought you would never wake up. You took a real nasty blow to the head." Flashes of a battle between him and some spiked hair blond coursed through his mind. Sasuke's eyes shut tight at the vague memory before looking back at his supposed master. "Now come on sit up and let me change your bandages."
The raven didn't even realize that his forehead had been wrapped up in the white cloth. The boy sat up and looked down towards his hands while his master removed the bloody, old bandages and disposed of them into a bag. Bringing out some water and disinfectant he cleaned up the large gash on the boy's forehead before wrapping it up in some new bandages. "There all better. Now, Sasuke-kun, let's get you some food."
Hearing the word 'food' made the boys stomach growl with hunger. Blushing lightly he slowly drew from underneath the covers and stood beside his master and followed him out of the dark room and into a dimly lit hallway. More flashes of the battle drew into the boys mind and he winced. 'Who am I fighting in these flashes?'
Orochimaru led the boy into what seemed like a traditional kitchen and he sat the dazed boy down into a chair as he prepared him some food. He soon placed a bowl of steaming of chicken noodle soup in front of the teen and watched with fascination as the child crammed down the food as if he never had eaten in his life.
"Slow down child, you don't want to choke." The man chuckled with a sly smirk as the child slowed down his eating but still kept cramming in as much as possible. Moving a glass of cold water towards the boy he saw him gulp about half of it down. The dark haired man never thought that getting this child would be so easy but it seemed luck was on his side.
Sasuke had just been taken to his supposed room by one of his master's servants. His bed was in the middle of the room covered by a transparent white silk cloth that dangled from the ceiling and cascaded towards the wood below. The bed was in the shape of a circle and towards the back it had a crown to hold up the fairly large multicolored pillows, almost like a couch. His sheets where that of fine silk colored a crimson red. The room was lit up by different candles that were in many parts of the walls. He had a personal bathroom and he also had a cherry-wood dresser.
Sasuke walked slowly towards his new bed and he drew back the white sheet and laid down, curling up. His eyes fluttered with wonder and curiosity as he gazed at his room. A slight smile drew across his lips before-
"So do you like your room, Sasuke-kun?" Orochimaru was standing in the doorway staring over at the young child with curious, roaming eyes.
"Yes...It is different, Orochimaru-sama."
The dark haired man chuckled. "Well now that you're acquainted with your room, why don't you get some rest and I'll have one of my servants wake you up in the morning."
Sasuke nodded at the suggestion. The raven haired boy slipped under the blankets to find them quite cozy and curled back up into his ball.
"Before you fall asleep I have a gift for you." Orochimaru snaked (heh snaked) his way over towards the boy and sat on the edge of the circular bed.
"What is it, Orochimaru-sama?"
"It's a necklace with an engraved gemstone in it. You must never take it off, Sssasuke." Orochimaru hissed with lies etched into his words as he wrapped the necklace around the boy's neck and letting it drop against his chest.
"Thank you."
"Now get some rest, pet." Sasuke had unknowingly locked himself into his dreams not knowing of the consequences that would arise from him placing on that necklace. 'Yess, keep sleeping your life away Sasuke and forget the one you will never return to.' The man dissipated into the darkness before closing the door to the sleeping child's room and disappearing from sight.
"Orochimaru-sama." The dark haired man turned to find one of his servants, a silver haired boy named Kabuto whom was holding a bunch of documents and scrolls. "Do you think his memory will come back soon?"
"It will eventually but for now let us enjoy this and besides, he will be mine anyways with that necklace he will have no choice but follow my every command." The older man hissed with a grin spreading across his face.
Kabuto chuckled lightly. "Very clever, Orochimaru-sama."
Orochimaru snickered at the boys praise before hooking a finger and tilting the teen's chin. "Now my dear Kabuto, have you brought me the scroll?" The teen nodded and handed his master the scroll before he bowed and departed. The man grinned from ear to ear with glee and mischief. It truly seemed like luck was on his side. Sasuke would be his.
