Author's Note: I've decided to try to make this a series fic, as the ending was rather weak in the last chapter. I haven't tried writing a series fic in over 2 years and those I did write were…lackluster. Anyways, my skills as a writer have improved since then so I'll just have to take a shot at it. Get ready everybody because you're in for a bumpy ride.
Kin could feel the pain consuming the entirety of her being. She wanted to scream but she knew that if she showed any signs of defiance the pain she felt would only be intensified. In spite of this she couldn't help herself from cringing "You like that don't you Kin…as much as you want to cry out in agony and defiance I know you lust for this just as I do." Orochimaru hissed taking great pleasure in the torment he was causing the young kunoichi. "Call out my name and beg for more." Kin was shocked at her sensei's demand. This was degrading enough as it was but to beg for him to continue…no…she couldn't…she'd rather die than to allow herself to be objectified like that. "Call out my name you whore or I'll kill you slowly and painfully." Orochimaru said clearly growing more ferocious and primal by the minute. She knew that unless she fulfilled her sensei's needs she would be expendable and therefore his threat was one to be feared.
"Orochimaru-sama…please…harder." Kin begged while trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. Orochmiaru gladly obliged with this forced request and started going harder and faster. Kin was so overcome with pain she knew that soon enough she would be engulfed in the sweet embrace of the reaper. She couldn't take the pain anymore so she relentlessly cried and screamed in horror terified of what was to come.
Kin woke up with a start sitting up in the bed she was in never wanting to return to the uncertainty of slumber lest she relive the horror she had been trying to suppress. She couldn't help but wonder where she was as the last thing she remembered was being knocked unconscious by that annoying slacker. She decided that the best move right now would be to take in everything around her so she could plan her escape if Orochimaru had gotten hold of her. She was in what appeared to be the Konoha hospital ward. Who had brought her here? Why did they take her to the hospital? Where was the person who had brought her here? All these questions and more circulated around in her head as she desperately tried to come to terms with the situation at hand.
All of this musing caused her head to start aching intensely. As she reached to touch her head in pain she noticed the bandages wrapped on her head. It seemed like whoever had put them together had done a rather thorough job as, hard as she tried, they wouldn't come off. "I wouldn't do that if I were you Kin." Dosu said entering the room to find his ally trying to unravel the bandages covering her head. "Those were put there for a reason. Don't you remember your fight with Shikamaru Nara? It ended with you getting a concussion after he made you look like a…"
"I remember the damn match Dosu. I was in it in case you'd forgotten." Kin snapped clearly not appreciating the lack of sympathy and multitude of cynicism she was receiving. "If I get my hands on that punk I'll rip his throat out. However, that's neither here nor there, where am I and what happened?" Dosu looked rather uncomfortable after hearing her question. He knew that sooner or later he'd have to tell her about what had happened though he'd really hoped it could've been later.
"Shikamaru brought you here after your match. I told him that he had done enough damage already and to let me take care of you but he refused to take that as an answer." Dosu began fearing for his safety with what he was about to say "He told me that my match hadn't even started yet and if I wasn't there for it I'd be disqualified. With his match already being over he said he really had nothing keeping him there, unlike me, so he may as well bring you here. I grudgingly accepted knowing full well that what he said was true as much as I despised it."
"So the class act brought me here…that's just damn perfect." Kin groaned barely able to keep her anger in check. "I suppose that moron said something along the lines of 'Man, this is such a drag' or some stupid little saying like that. It was bad enough to make me look like a fool in front of everyone. If he thinks he's going to get away with taking pity on me he's dreaming." Just as Kin had finished making her idle threat, Shikamaru entered. Shikamaru didn't look too comfortable being there but he seemed determined to check up on her status.
"So…um…how are you feeling Kin?" Shikamaru inquired timidly seeing her glaring at his presence in the room. "Um…sorry I kind of…gave you a concussion…" Kin rolled her eyes at his pathetic excuse for trying to check up on her. Was this really the same guy who made her look like such a naïve rookie? She soon felt regret for not filling him with even more needles when she had the chance. She sighed seeing that he clearly wasn't going to leave until she said something to him.
"I'm fine…why did you bring me here anyway. Do you want some kind of medal or something? I…appreciate what you did for me. There, are you happy now? Why don't you get lost? I'm sure this must be a 'drag' for you to have to check up on me." Kin mumbled nearly inchorently not wanting to show any signs of weakness to the one who had defeated her, even if that person was as pathetic as this guy. She couldn't help but wonder why he was looking at her with concern and not leaving yet despite being told that everything was under control.
"Kin…I don't know how to say this but everyone kind of…found out…about your scars..." Dosu muttered afraid that this would be the last thing he would ever utter. "I tried to stop them but they told me they had to remove your armbands while they were running some tests. I demanded that they give a good reason for it but they just gave me some medical jargon crap that I didn't care enough about to remember. The Hokage has been informed of this and is looking into the issue as we speak." Kin was in shock after hearing this earthshaking news. This would complicate things a little to say the least. She took some solace in the fact that being the focal point of the Hokage's attention and therefore probably the talk of the village Orochimaru wouldn't be making a move anytime soon to get to her.
"Kin, to you I may just be some adversary, but regardless I'll help track down Orochimaru in whatever way I can!" Shikamaru said trying to sound as noble as possible. 'So they know it's Orochimaru,' Kin thought 'That's just great…what the hell don't they know!' Kin was well aware at this point Ororchimaru was the least of her worries. They would most likely take her scars as a sign of an attempt to commit suicide. This belief would easily end up with her in rehab. If she was forced to stay in a rehab center she knew that one way or another she was going to kill somebody, probably herself. If she kept acting let her usual self, cold, cynical, and arrogant, she realized that things would probably just be even rougher so she tried to fake an attitude of gratitude and "normal" emotions.
"Thank you for your help Shikamaru, and you too Dosu-kun, I don't know what I'd do without you two. I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have two strong ninjas like you looking after me!" Kin said trying her best to sound as relieved and thankful as she possibly could.
"Anyways…Shikamaru and I have some paper work to fill out regarding your stay here. We're going to take off but we'll leave you in the hands of someone who's powerful enough to protect you from any harm that might come your way. Plus this is the one person in the village who knows Orochimaru better than anyone else so you can vent all you want about however you're feeling." Dosu stated uneasily at his friend's unusualy kind comment. He was starting to have some serious doubts about whether or not Kin was still mentally stable.
"Who's that Dosu-kun?" Kin asked as sweetly as she could. Upon finishing her inquiry a puff of smoke appeared in the center of the room.
"Hey there Kin! I heard you needed a caregiver to watch over you in case Orochimaru comes back! You're looking at her! The number one expert on Ororchimaru in the entire village! That's right! The expert is none other than the great Anko Mitarashi! Pretty cool, eh?" Anko inquired over enthusiastically in an effort to life the spirits of the crestfallen kunoichi.
"Yeah…pretty cool Anko-san…" Kin responded as happily as possible. Kin mentally begged the two to stay, as almost anything would be better than the hyperactive overbearing woman, but her plea went unheeded. As she watched Shikamaru and Dosu depart somewhat taken aback by the former proctor's entrance Kin couldn't help but feel depressed again. 'God help me…' Kin thought hopelessly 'God help me…'
Author's Note: Yeah, I know it sucked. I told you, I'm no series writer. Oh well, for those of you who for whatever reason are enjoying this even slightly, I will most likely update within the week though revisions of the first two chapters may occur anytime. Oh well, practice makes perfect…right? Anyways thanks for reading and please leave a review. I'd like to have at least ONE more review before I post the next chapter.
