Chains and Bells
A Naruto Fanfic
By Kaline Reine
WANRINGS: For this story include (but are not limited to) severe rape lemon, general evilness, horrible pairings that are considered "crack" pairings by some, and the pairings may change around some, we'll see. This story has some of the weirdest possible pairings, but I think they're cute together! So too bad... Oh, and Sakura turns evil! That is the only warning you will get about her, she is a BAD BAD GIRL in this particular fanfic, XD Lol Bwahahahaha!! Now, I also should include one warning for language too, there is cursing ALOT. This first chapter, I will admit, is not TOO bad, and it is what I would personally consider well-written. So enough with the warnings, please enjoy this fic, thank you! XD

Chapter 2: What to do with them?
All she felt were the strong arms that wrapped themselves around her so tightly, she felt like all her bones might break. Why hadn't she ran when she had the chance? Well, not that she had much of a chance; she was facing Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sennin, after all... But still, Sakura wondered why she had not at least attempted to defend herself. It would have at least been nobler to go down with a fight. But ever since Sasuke had gone, she had pretty much given up on her lessons with Tsunade, and her dreams of bettering herself as a Ninja. If anything, her skills had become rusty at best!
('Oh, this is just awful! What am I going to do?!) Sakura thought, and she could not manage to stifle a small weak whimper that escaped her lips. She wanted to try to make an escape now, but she knew she would fail when facing against someone as strong as Orochimaru. Despair had not wasted any time in setting in already.
"Hush now," He told her gently, in an almost soothing tone, as if it would almost make up for the fact that he held the girl in a death grip! "We will be returning to Otagakure soon enough, my pet."
('Did he just call me his pet?! Gross!') She wanted to grimace at the affectionate name he had called her. ('But still, it feels nice to be held like this... And I feel so safe in his arms, knowing that no one could touch me or hurt me if they wanted to! ...No way! I 'so' did not just think that!') But she did.
It amazed her the way he still managed to hold onto her with both arms, but he never missed a single step in his long spider-like leaps across the rooftops, and now, through the trees that protected Konoha. Sakura tried to steal a glance over at Ino, who was being carried by the traitor! But she could barely see anything else but the man who held her, they were traveling so fast.
"The key to getting into the Village of Sound," He told her, though even he himself did not know why he was choosing to reveal his secrets. "Is to travel faster than the speed of sound. That is the only way to enter or leave. And there is no way to do that, without my newly discovered Ninjutsu that I used to create that lovely little village of mine!"
When she looked at him with those cerulean-emerald eyes, he felt this need to say something to her; anything at all that might make her feel better! Orochimaru had never felt like this before, and he really did not know what to make of it. In a few seconds, he and Kabuto, along with their newly-captured hostages, disappeared in a puff of smoke, and entered Otagakure, the Sound Village.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Had he been trying to impress her by saying all that stuff about how Sound was created? It sure sounded like it... ('Sounded, haha. No pun intended...') She thought, trying anything to make herself smile. But after looking at the hopelessness of her situation, Sakura found she just couldn't!
She and Ino were promptly dumped into a somewhat dungeon-like room, and were left alone for now. There were two small cots, a tiny table with a glass of water on it, and really not much else. But... there was a door!
Without a word, Sakura ran to the door and flung it open swiftly. She ran through it in an attempt to escape.
"What are you doing?" Ino sounded peeved.
Her pink-haired friend was nearing hysterics, she was so bad! "I've got to get out of here! Ino, we can't stay here! We can't be here! This has to lead outside, it has to!"
But she quickly returned to the small room they were apparently going to share with her head held dishearteningly low. She saw that Ino had not moved from her place on one of the cots, where Kabuto had so hastily tossed her. She did not look worried like her friend, but instead she wore her usual mask of indifferent boredom. It was a trait that she had apparently picked up from Shikamaru.
"It's... just a bathroom..." Sakura felt the tears about to fall, but luckily she managed to keep them under control, for now. She had not allowed herself to cry since the night Sasuke had left her to seek out Orochimaru, so long ago. Even after he returned, things had not been the same.
"It'll be alright," Ino carefully joined her in the middle of the cold stone floor where she sat on her knees, and she patted her friend's back gently.
"How can you be so sure, Ino?"
"I noticed something you didn't. You know that Kabuto guy? Well, he feels pity for us, I can sense it. And sense he used to belong to our own village, maybe he'll convince Orochimaru to go easy on us."
"Yeah right," Sakura sneered at her, then got up off the dusty floor. "Keep dreaming if you think that will ever happen. Orochimaru go easy on anyone? You don't know about all the horrible things that Sasuke saw when he was here... I do."
"What did he tell you?"
"It doesn't matter. Long story short, these are horrible people; monsters even; that we are dealing with here, and I am not about to stick around any longer than I have to."
Ino looked around the cell they were in. It was roomy enough, that was true. But it was pretty much empty except for them, and the cots they were presumable expected to sleep on. "But have you noticed, Sakura, that there are no doors in here? How did they even get in or out?"
"Well..." She thought about it for a moment, while Ino went to sit back on the cot she had been placed on earlier. "When we were being brought here, Orochimaru did say something about them having to travel faster than the speed of sound in order to be able to enter or leave the Sound Village, or wherever this place is. Maybe the same thing works for this room?"
"You know, you could be onto something, forehead-girl. We should try it..."
"But he also said that it was a secret Ninjutsu that he had created, and that he used it to build Sound in the first place. I don't think anyone knows how to do it, except the Sound Ninjas."
Ino smiled devilishly at her long-time friend and rival. "That never stopped you from trying anything before, right? If he discovered it, so can we!"
"I guess it's worth a shot..." She brightened, and cracked a small hopeful smile.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Neither of them had spoken a word about the two Kunoichi waiting for them in the dungeon. By unspoken agreement, they had decided not to bring it up for now. They both had more important things to deal with at the moment.
Kabuto was busily healing some of those who had been injured in the rumble with Konoha. It was not an easy task, but as acting Medical Ninja for the day, it was the job he had been assigned. It was not long before he had almost everyone healed, to the best of his ability anyway, and he was almost out of chakra completely. He was just starting to wonder where Lord Orochimaru had gone off to when...
"Kabuto, are you almost finished here?" His Master had made his way into the healing room, completely undetected as usual.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama. I only have one more person to heal, and then I will be done. Do you have need of me?"
"Yes. When you are finished with that one," Black hair swayed as he jerked his head toward the waiting Sound Ninja lying on the medical cot, half dead. "I wish to speak with you about our... guests." Orochimaru smirked evilly to punctuate his sentence, and then when his assistant turned around, he was gone.
"Damn..." He turned to his current patient, while gathering up his healing chakra in his hands. "Hold still, this may take a while. Your wounds look serious."
When he was finally finished, Orochimaru was not to be found anywhere. But fortunately, his loyal assistant always knew just where to find him, it seemed. Entering his Master's bedchamber, Kabuto smiled nervously. He had been waiting to ask him about the little blonde Kunoichi... But now that he had a chance, he was not sure he had the nerve. Orochimaru did seem to have his sights set on both girls; the Medic-Nin knew that much.
"Lord Orochimaru-sama," He bowed respectfully to his sensei. "What was it you wanted to talk to me about?"
"I already told you what it was about, Kabuto-san. Do try and keep up."
"I appologize."
"Now, I believe there is the little matter of what to do with the Kunoichi while they stay here. We cannot keep them in the dungeon forever, in case we might get more prisoners from other missions. What do you suggest we do with them?"
"Well, the way I see it," His grey bangs fell in his face, concealing it in the dark moonlight that filtered in through his Master's window. "The only logical thing to do would be to give them their own rooms here. But that could cause a problem, if they have any intention at all of escaping. Which I am fairly certain they do..."
"A brilliant deduction," He rolled his yellow eyes mockingly, and they still held an overly mischievious gleam in them. "I suppose they will just have to be kept a close eye on, wouldn't you agree?"
"So what are you suggesting that we do? Let them stay with us?"
"Kabuto..." He hissed. "What a very interesting idea... It would be alot of fun to have two more additions to my little collection. And that would be quite an easy way for me to keep an eye on them."
The Medic grimaced as he thought of precisely which "collection" Orochimaru had been referring to. He had many women and girls, stay with him in his wing of the Sound Base. Previously, there had been a wide variety of them. Some had been prisoners of war, others had been some of the few females unlucky enough to catch the eye of the leader of the Sound Village.
But currently, long after Orochimaru had discovered his cravings for bloodlust, their numbers dwindled constantly. This meant that the women of his harem had to constantly be replaced by new ones. And none of them were there willingly, except one.
She was watching wide-eyed, in her pale serene beauty, from her place hunched in the corner of Orochimaru's room, as the two men talked about their pretty new prisoners. A surge of jealousy filled her, but she knew her place was not by Lord Orochimaru's side, but rather, underneath him. She was beneath him in all ways; both mentally and metaphorically; physically and literally. And she trembled with the thoughts of what he may do to her if he were to find out about her jealousy. The servant quietly reveled in her fear, and tried to hide her shaking limbs by hugging her knees to her chest in cowardice.
She wanted to ask him so many questions... They had been that close once, but that was a very long time ago. The pick of his harem knew better than to speak even a single word, without being addressed by her Master first. Retreating within the solace of her own mind, she focused her inner chakra to calm herself.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru-sama," She heard the young one with the kind black eyes say. His heart fluttered when he thought about the sweet young blonde, and all that she must be going through. "That is an excellent idea... But, I was going to ask you if-"
His words were cut off by a sharp, and painstaking cry coming from the corner of the room. She sounded as if she were in a great deal of pain.
"Ah..." Orochimaru almost moaned at the sound of her voice when it was full of agony. "Such mental anguish she suffers! I love it!" He moved menacingly over towards the darkened corner. All he could see was a dark figure there, he could not make out who it was. But he knew without having to look. She once was his obsession, but he knew that now he had become hers. "Shut up! You know you are never to speak unless spoken to, whore!"
"Y-yes... I... I am sorry, Orochi-"
Her blue-grey eyes stung, as he swiftly backhanded her across her cheek. "You are to refer to me only as Master! Because that is what I am to you! I am not your friend, or your lover, do you understand?! I could never love someone like you!"
Silent sobbing tears were the only answer he recieved, as she seemed to curl up into a little ball on the floor. Orochimaru thought of sending her back to where she came from, but he knew she might prove useful to him in keeping an eye on the others when they were in his "care".
"Come, Kabuto. We should continue this conversation elsewhere. Leave the slut here to wallow in her own self-pity." He spat on her, and offered a kind smile, as he led his assistant out of the room.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
