Late that night, almost morning, really, Sasuke found himself in front of the dungeon doors. He wasn't quite sure why he was there, but suddenly, in the silence, he heard a soft voice.

'I took a wall around the world to ease my troubled mind,

I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time.

I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon.

I feel there's nothing I can do…'

The singing faded, and Sasuke stopped moving, straining his ears to catch the words.

'You call me strong,

You call me weak,

But, still your secrets I will keep,

You took for granted all the times I never let you down.

You stumbled in, and bumped you head,

If not for me, than you'd be dead,

I picked you up,

Put you back on solid ground.'

Sasuke finally saw the owner of the voice. It was a girl. To his shock, it was that girl, Orochimaru's 'gift'.

Before he knew it, he was staring at her, through the bars. She didn't notice him, and kept singing.

'If I go crazy, than will you still call me Superman?

If I'm alive any well, will you be there, holding my hand?

I'll keep you by my side, with my super-human might,

Krptonite…'

She opened her eyes, and stared directly back at Sasuke. "But life doesn't really work out like that, does it?" she asked softly, her blue eyes sad.

"I don't even know your name." Sasuke heard himself saying. The girl smiled and opened her mouth to reply. But instead of making words, violent coughs erupted, making her double over in pain.
