Snared

"Master," I whispered breathlessly as his cool hands trailed down my heated neck and chest, rubbing the sensitive skin of my stomach. I shivered at his cold touch, trying to roll away. His hands moved impossibly quick, pinning me down.

"Melina..." He hissed, drawing out each syllable to make my name sound wrong to my ear. I looked up at wall, ignoring the tickling of his soft hair on my neck as he leaned down to whisper in my ear. "you're going to do a favor for Master tomorrow...alright?"

"Yes Master." I said quietly, I could feel his tongue poking out to lick my ear. The feeling made my body shake with fear.

"Good girl. Tomorrow you are to lure a group of ninja into the forest. Can you lure them with your cute little face?" He asked, already knowing my response.

"Yes Master." I repeated, before he ravaged my neck in bites of approval.

The feeling of his teeth on my skin awoke me, and I looked around the room quickly. I had been envisioning the whole thing, but I had been through it so long it seemed too real. I looked over at the card that had fell to the floor earlier. The idea of seeing Master again made me terrified. He always used me, and always used my body to show his approval. The worst part of it all, was that I found myself loving it at the end. The more I refused him, the more his touch would make my heart speed up. His cold touch worked wonders on my skin, and it made me so ashamed. I didn't want to like it, especially because he knew that I did, but I always craved more when he would go a day without touching me. I knew he did it on purpose, just to see me crawl to him in his bed the next day, wondering why he hadn't come to me. He truly was my master, and I never got over the guilt. I always wanted to tell nii-san, but could never bring myself to tell him I was tainted. He always looked at me as if I was the golden light in the world. I wished he knew.

Standing, I finally managed to pull myself together. Master was not around, not right then. I looked out my window, the sun was up. It was morning. I quickly showered and changed, not wanting to stay unclothed for long. I hurried down to the kitchen, and bowed politely when entering.

"Here Melina," the Kazekage said apathetically, pushing a plate of breakfast towards the chair next to Kankuro as he sipped his coffee.

"Thank you," I bowed again, and took a seat beside Kankuro. Temari was seated across from Kankuro, next to her father. The red-headed younger brother was leaning against the counter, glaring at the window. I smiled at him, trying to be friendly.

"Hello Gaara." I waved, his eye moved to mine and I then noticed the crazed expression in his eyes. I didn't meet his gaze directly, feeling that he wouldn't like it. The small boy left, anger twisting his gaze. Kankuro held my hand beneath the table, trying to comfort me. I wasn't really upset as he believed, I felt a connection to the boy. I've seen many crazed looks in my time.

"So, Melina. What do you want to do today?" Kankuro asked, lightening the mood of the room. I blushed at the direct attention on myself, and shrugged.

"I don't know, I was going to stay in my room." I said, Kankuro shook his head rapidly.

"No way! I have to show you around!" He exclaimed. I smiled.

"Ummm.. sure?" I answered.

"No Kankuro," Temari interrupted, "this village is boring. Take her to the leaf?" Kankuro thought about it, then turned to ask me.

"What do you think Melina?" He smiled. I tried to match his enthusiasm but probably failed miserably.

"I'm sure your village isn't boring, but I wouldn't mind anywhere. What are we going to do?" I asked.

"I'll bring some picnic foods, and we can explore a bit. You seem adventurous!" He said, laughing. It was pretty obvious that I wasn't adventurous.

"Fine, but I have a horrible way of getting lost in places I don't know."

"Melina... I think everyone gets lost if they don't know the place they are in, that's what being lost is." He laughed.

"Oh..." I blushed, and smiled when Kankuro laughed harder, his hand warming in mine.

"Look Melina!" Kankuro called, holding out a white exotic flower. I smiled, sniffing it then leaned closer when he tied it behind my ear. He smiled, looking into my eyes and leaning closer, our faces a small place apart.

"I never met a guy like you Kankuro, you find such happiness in nice things, and you always factor how I would feel into things you do.."

"You can tell all that already?" He asked, smiling.

"I'm good at that. What do you think of me?" I questioned, looking down at my lap, his hand reached forward and took mine.

"I think that your timid, but not naturally. Others made you fear people. But that is all over now. You don't have to fear me." He stroked my hair. "You're beautiful." He explained, his hand entangling with my hair. I leaned forward, brushing my lips on the soft skin on his cheek. His lips curved into a smile and softly grazed over my neck and shoulder.

"Kankuro," I whispered sweetly, "you're so sweet. I love your touch, it's warm." I truly did love it. His hand was warm, it made me feel safe and comforted. It was the opposite of Master's, Kankuro's touch had love. His hand gave me goosebumps as it rested at the base of my neck, my hair being played between his fingers. His arm rested on my shoulder lightly, and I held onto it, nuzzling his wrist.

"You're warm too, and I love how soft you are." He moved his other hand to my waist, pulling me closer. I smiled and looked into his eyes, watching as he moved in and pressed his lips to mine tenderly, all the comfort in the world in one kiss. I closed my eyes, relishing his sweet taste for a moment before re-opening my eyes, only to see the glimpse of long black hair as a figure zoomed by in the shadows of the forest. I gasped, and looked around.

"What's wrong?" Kankuro asked, and I turned to smile at him.

"It's nothing. I thought I heard something." I explained. He smiled and nodded, bringing me into his lap as we continued to kiss sweetly.
