I do not own Naruto.
LAST TIME WITH SAKURA:
"Ready?" The man asked me as i nodded. We started doing hand signs. After we where done "Complete."
"You are now under full control of Lord Orochimaru." I said as i looked at them with a small sad smile "Don't do anything to bad while under his control. You are now his puppet."
LAST TIME WITH NEJI:
"As i am correct. Nothing is here to bother me." I said as i sat under the cherry tree and closed my eyes. "This has been a great day."
Then i went into a light sleep. Never can be to careful. We are in a world full of ninjas.
WITH SAKURA:
"Come." I said as i walked out of the door. The boys followed soon after "So ready to see what you are to do daily?"
"What the hell?" Hidan asked stopping me in my tracks "Why do you allow this shit?"
"Why go against something you think is right?" I asked coldly "I was raised here to follow the commands of My Lord."
"Your 'Lord' is some fucked up nut job!" Hidan said as i grabbed his shirt and crashed him to the ground
"Remember what i said before." I said as i but my boot to his neck and pressed lightly enough to cut off his air "Each word brings you closer to punishment. And they bring your worst fear out."
"Like hell they could find mine." Hidan smirked. I looked him up and down. I then saw a necklace for Jashin
"You are an immortal." I smirked "Maybe your fear is to have Jashin disown you. Take away your immortal status."
"Fuck you…" He mumbled looking away in defeat. I then took my boot off him and had him get up.
"So let me get through all the important things." I said then pointed to my necklace "Each of the necklaces have one thing in common. If you take it off, it will kill you. And it also grants Lord Orochimaru to take control of your body for a few moments to see whats going in."
"Thats fucked up." Hidan whispered grabbing his
"So all we have to do is take it off and we will be free, yeah." Deidara said
"You will die. But Lord Orochimaru will bring you back to life and you will be put into punishment." I said as i turned and walked down the hull. They followed "Right now we are to get lunch."
"Good!" Kisame said "I can use some food!"
"Is it free?" Kakuzu asked
"Its all you can eat." I said as i opened the door to the kitchen "This is the kitchen."
"Its…" Kisame began
"Nice, yeah." Deidara finished
"It took forever to get Lord Orochimaru to get this kitchen." I mumbled as i walked into the line "Get your food here. I will be over at a table in the far corner."
"You don't want to eat?" Sasori asked
"I don't eat here." I said as i left them to get there food
"This is going to be one hard day…" My Inner mumbled
"Agreed." I said to her as i sat down at an empty table.
NEJIS POV:
I was still under the cherry tree. I woke up not to long ago and i was just staring at the clouds.
"This is a nice day." I thought to myself "I think i will stay out here until night fall."
SAKURAS POV:
Here is a time skip!
"I told you all the things you need to know." I said stopping in front of there rooms "The room is big enough for you all to have space."
"Where is your room?" Zetsu asked
"Right next to yours." I said as i walked to my door "I will wake you guys up tomorrow."
"What time, yeah?" Deidara asked
"No later then 10." I said with a smile "The other workers wake up at 7 or sooner. So we are the lucky ones."
"Yeah." Kisame mumbled "See you tomorrow." With that they all walked into the room.
"My dear Blossom. I need you in my office now." Orochimaru said from the necklace
"Yes my lord." I whispered as i walked down the hall and to his office
"Its time for me to go into hiding." Inner said as she locked herself into the deepest part of my mind.
I walked into his office to find him looking out the open spot in the window.
"You needed me my Lord?" I asked standing in front of his desk
"Yes," He began turning around "I heard you wanted to go see the outside world." My eyes widened
"I only want to see some of it." I said hoping i don't get thrown into punishment "But still under your command of course."
"I know." He smiled a little "So there is a meadow not to far from here. I need you to go pick flowers and get some of the water in the small pond."
"Why flowers?" I asked
"Your birthday is coming up." He smiled "And i want it to be known."
That will make me almost 18 now.
"You never did this before." I was a little shocked. But i didn't let it come to my face.
"Well, turning 18 is special." He said giving me a map "I know you can read it. So just walk out of the gates. Then come back before later tonight."
"Before its completely night?" I asked as i looked at the map
"Yes." He said sitting down in his desk "Now go."
"Very well." I bowed then walked out of the room.
I walked out of the main door and out into the sunlight. It was… nice to feel the sun on my skin.
"Oh wow." I said as i looked around "This is beautiful."
"Lets hurry and get to the meadow. I don't want to stay near this place any longer." Inner said as i started following the map into the forrest.
NEJIS POV:
"Some one is coming…" I mumbled sitting up straight "I have to hide." With that i jumped into the top of the cherry tree and hid my chakra.
"Ha!" I heard a girl say as she walked into the clearing "I made it."
She was… beautiful. She had long pink hair. "Pink, what an odd color." I thought to myself. She also had the best green eyes i have ever seen. She wore knee high boots, a tan colored skirt with a sleeveless red shirt. "I never seen her around the village. I wonder who she is." I said as i then saw her necklace. "So she works for him… But why does it look different from the other workers?"
"Is someone there?" She asked looking around. I said nothing "I guess not."
"She doesn't seem like she can cause harm." I said as i jumped out of the tree.
"I swear…" She mumbled to herself as she started picking flowers "Someone is watching me."
"So you like the red and purple flowers?" I asked her as she jumped and turned around to look at me. She calmed down a little, but she was still high on guard.
"Well…" She looked at the ground "This is my first time out here. And i never seen flowers like this before." She then sat back down on her knees and kept picking them "Are you going to hurt me?" She never looked up.
"I wont." I said as i walked and sat next to her "Where do you come from?" I already knew the answer. I just want to make sure.
"My home." She said picking a white flower
"Where is that?" I asked. Yes, i was curious about the girl.
"Uh…" She said kind of shaky "I am not allowed to say."
"Well, you can tell me when you want to." I said as she smiled and nodded a little "So i never seen you around here."
"You come here often?" She asked looking up at me.
"Everyday when i have time or want to be alone." I said
SAKURAS POV:
"Everyday when i have time or want to be alone." He said
"Its my first time." I said with a smile.
This guy, he is… is… is… whats the word i am looking for. Cute? He has the most beautiful eyes. And his long, brown hair looks soft. If only they had more guys like this at the hideout.
"Oh," I said "I am sorry. Its rude of me not to tell you who i am. I am Sakura."
"Neji Hyuuga." He nodded his head a little "Sakura, the name fits you."
I blushed a little and smiled "Thanks."
"What is this feeling?" I asked Inner. My stomach is doing flips. And i am getting nerves around Neji. I never get nerves.
"Sounds like love at first sight!" She smiled
"Thats impossible. I just met the guy." I said to her
"Where do you come from?" I asked then looked down "If you don't mind me asking."
"I don't." He said as i looked up "I am from the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Ever seen it?"
"No." I said "This is my first time away from my…" I got stuck looking for the word "Master."
"So you are a servant?" He seemed a little shocked "You don't look like it."
"I guess thats a way of putting it." I said thinking about it "Yeah, im his servant."
"I see." Neji said "I hate it."
"Hate what?" I asked raising an eyebrow
"I am from a rich and noble family." He said "And my family has tons of servants. I hate it because i never wanted one. I think that they should go out and have a life of there own."
"Oh." I said looking at the ground "Its not that bad."
"How so?" He asked putting his head on his palm
"I do it because i owe my master my life." I said sadly
"How?"
"Well, i don't know the full story." I began "But he said that my family gave me to him as a gift to pay back there owing to him. Once i could live without my mother, he took me in."
"I see." He said "But that doesn't mean you owe him your life."
"He helped me with everything." I said quickly "My life and all."
"He is Orochimaru, huh?" Neji asked as my face turned to shock
"How did he find out?" I asked myself trying not to panic
"He is my…" I looked down at the ground "My Lord."
"I see." Neji said sounding sad
"How did you find out?" I tried to look at him
"Your necklace." He pointed to my neck "I know everyone of his servants has one. But yours is different from the others."
"Will you… hurt me?" I was getting kind of scared
"My first time out in the real world. And i have to die!" I yelled in my mind
"No." He shook his head "You didn't go to him willingly. And you sound like you don't even want to be under his care."
"I don't…" I whispered. I was done picking flowers and i closed the basket "But there is no one else i can go to."
"You can come to the Leaf." Neji said "We can help you."
"No." I shook my head "He will kill me if i don't come back."
"How would he know?"
"I am one of his most trusted." I looked right into Nejis eyes. "And he will know if i don't go back home."
"I am saying to much. I need to stop…"
"I see." Neji said thinking "But if you don't mind me asking. Why is your necklace different from the others?"
"No reason." I looked down at the ground
"Oh…"
"Yes." I nodded "I-i cant say to much."
"Why?"
"I… i don't want to lose his trust."
"How old are you?" he changed the subject
"I am now 17. In a few days or maybe weeks i shall be 18."
"I see." He said. Then smiled "Well happy early birthday."
NEJIS POV:
"I see." I said looking a little deeper into her green eyes which caused me to smile "Well happy early birthday."
"Why thank you." She said with a wide grin.
"She maybe under the control of Orochimaru, but it wasn't by choice. And with her being one of his most trusted, then he wont hurt her." I thought to myself "But why on earth, or how, did he ever get such a girl like this. I don't care if she was raised by him. She still has her own destiny. And, even i, know that her destiny isn't with him."
"Can you help me get some water from the pond?" Her voice broke me out of my thought.
"Yes." I said as we both got up "Why would you come here now?"
"I was sent here to get some flowers for a party."
"When is it?"
"I don't know…" She looked confused "Maybe days or weeks."
"If its weeks then why come now if the flowers will only welt?"
"A welted flower?" She asked looking at the basket she held in her arms "Its either that he needs them for my party. Or an important dinner with a guest." She then looked sad "Or he could use them for his experiments…"
"Experiments?" I asked raising an eye brow
"I cant say." She looked down "I already said to much. I could get in a lot of trouble just talking to you."
"Well, then we will keep this our secret." I said as we sat next to the pond "I wont tell anyone i met you if you don't say anything to Orochimaru."
"Would you get into trouble to?" She looked up at me after she got some water into a cup. Then placed it in the basket.
"Yes." I said.
"With me just seeing her and not saying anything. I will get in a lot of trouble. And having a conversation and promised not to say anything. My punishment will count me almost as a traitor." I thought to myself "But hers might be even worse."
"Its almost night." She said looking at the sky
"You're right." I said as the sun was setting "When do you have to leave?"
"Before the night completely falls." She looked at me with a smile and stood up. I followed
"You leaving now?" I asked as she shook her head
"I was wondering what that tree is." She pointed to the cherry tree.
"Thats a Sakura." I said as she looked at me confused "A cherry tree."
"Im named after a tree?" She asked as we walked to it. I nodded "Its pretty."
"It is." I said staring at her.
"Its pretty. But you're beautiful." I thought then went into a mental stage of shock "What am i thinking? I just met the girl! She is an enemy! "
"I should be going." She said as she grabbed her basket. "It was nice to meet you Neji."
"As for you, Sakura." I said as we both bowed a little "Will i see you again?"
"I am not sure." She said as she started walking off "Hope to see you in the near future." With that, she was into the darkness of the forrest.
"She doesn't seem like the one to be trapped under Orochimarus care… I wonder who her family is…" I thought as i started walking back to the village "She is also a caged bird… I wonder if she will ever have the chance of getting free."
Sakuras POV:
"What a nice man." I said to Inner
"He was very nice. " She smiled "Cute to."
"I guess you can say that." I rolled my eyes "But i do wonder if i ever get to see him again. I would like to know why his eyes seem trapped."
"He must not have a good home life. Didn't he say he was a ninja?"
"I don't think so. Where did you get ninja from?" I said to her "But, that must be why. I would still like to know why he is trapped."
"Orochimaru was a ninja from the Leaf. So thats where i got the ninja part." She said as i agreed
"He knew to much about me already. Me working under my Lord. Should i start to worry?"
"No. I think Orochimaru is an evil man. I don't know why you want to stay under his care. And so what if he knows to much already." She was starting to get mad "Orochimaru likes to be known, so its no wonder why Neji already knew."
"I guess you are right…" I said as i still had a little ways of walking back to the hide out.
"Start to come home my blossom. It is getting late." Orochimaru said from the necklace once again. The smile i was wearing on my face went away, the little life in my eyes faded. I was once again his lifeless puppet. And that will never change.
With that, i walked back into the hide out and turned in the flowers and pond water to my Lord. And i went off to bed.
Review please.
