hmmmm... How long has it been since I last updated, 2 months? Well regardless of my rather long absence, I finally have the courage to update. I just got back into school, lots of new things, I get lost, bla bla bla the works. I am taking a writing course so I may become a better author, so I'll be trying really hard from now on. Also I might not be able to make quick updates because three days ago my PC died on me, which I think is the main reason I'm continuing this story right now. Um, bear with me on this chapter, I haven't had a single class yet so I still suck, but don't worry I will get better!

Disclaimer: Note that I don't own Naruto cus that's important!

BROWNIES AND BROWNIE POINTS: Inspired by YaoiSakka and XxChocoMelloxX.

-Each chapter, you get to give a character a brownie and explain why they deserve it. (Ex. Kabuto gets a brownie for being himself)

-You can split the brownie between multiple people. (Ex. Anko and Haruka get part of a brownie for being crazy)

-For every brownie a character gets, they get BROWNIE POINTS.

-Brownie points are given to a character when they get part of or a full brownie.

-The reviewers who give brownies get mentioned in the next chapter!

-So its time to give some characters some brownies and start this fanfiction!


In the false security of her dark oasis, Haruka thought of her dear friend Anko. So many days have passed since the two of them were forced into this unescapable hell, neither knowing what has become of the other. Both of their lives in the hands of a dammed snake, and knowing he was winning was even worse. They were his to control and use, and they couldn't do a single thing about it. Haruka could handle it, but she didn't want Anko being touched by that snake bastard at all. Then a single idea popped into her head, she could try to persuade Orochimaru to set Anko free, but even if Haruka could get Orochimaru to bend in her favor to let Anko go there would be a catch. Trying to make a deal with Orochimaru was like making a with with a genie, the outcome will not be good, but Haruka was willing to risk it for Anko any day.

Haruka, going with her plan attempted to make herself as presentable as possible. She still had the Crimson dress from her last encounter with Orochimaru, so she decided to put it on in hopes that it might give her more of a shot of getting her way. She combed her fingers through her short red hair while coming up with a strategy to seduce the snake. She'd have to plan it all perfectly of her plan could crash and burn, and bring some misfortune on both Anko and her. After weighing her options, and coming up for strategies to evade the worst, ah called for kabuto.

The silver haired man came in, and immediately shot a death glare at her holding an ' I'm not in the fucking mood' air around him. Kabuto wasn't in her freedom plan today, so Haruka cut to the chase.

"I want to see Orochimaru, Kabuto." She demanded.

"And why I ask do you want to see him?" Kabuto scoffed.

"I believe that is none of your business, now why don't you act like a good pet and take me to your master like I friggen asked!"

At that moment out of pure hatred and aggression Kabuto sent a powerful punch to her face sending her to the ground, and Orochimaru saw it all. Shocked and angry Orochimaru yanked Kabuto up by his shirt to eye level, and looked daggers in to his eyes.

"What is the meaning of this Kabuto?" Orochimaru growled and shook the boy, who was pale with fear.

"I... I apologize sir! My temper got the better of me and I-" he was cut off by the impact of him being slammed into the hard stone wall.

"You had better hope I don't lose my temper Kabuto, or this blade will be the last thing you see" He pushed a kunai up to Kabuto's throat for emphasis, and then harshly dropped him. "Now get out of here before I feed you to Manda!"

Without hesitation Kabuto rushed out of the room without hesitation, leaving Haruka and Orochimaru alone. Haruka shakily sat herself up stroking her burning cheek.

"Damn he's stronger than he looks," she complained "but thats not what I want to talk about now." She turned to look up at Orochimaru. Simmered down and curious he returned the look.

"What is it?" he questioned.

"I want you to let Anko go..." She said quietly.

"Excuse me?"

"I want you to let Anko go!"she yelled, and hushed Orochimaru in shock.

"You know I can't do that." he stated calmly.

"Why not?"

"She knows too much, if I were to set her free she would return to the Leaf and send someone to save you."

"I'll tell her not to and-"

"She would still do it regardless, you and I both know that."

"Please," Haruka began to cry"let Anko go... I'll do what you say, anything, I'll obey just let Anko go..."

"Even if it means she'll forget you forever?"

"W... what?"

"Anko, I'll let her go, but I will erase all her memories, especially memories of you. Do you still wish to free her Haruka?"

She stays silent for a moment to think on her current options. She could let Orochimaru erase Anko's memory and she free and safe, or she could have Anko remember her but be stuck in the hell in Orochimaru's base. Both choices were bitter sweet, but she knew she had to do what was best for her dear friend. In the end Anko would have done thew same for her right?

"I've decided..." Haruka whispered. Orochimaru raised a brow at her, and waited for her answer. "I will let you erase her memories, just return her to the Leaf safely..."

"If that is your choice then I will begin erasing her memories immediately." He made his way to the door but was stopped by something taking his hand, it was Haruka.

"I want to see her one last time... before you erase her memories... please?" she asked wiping away some stray tears. Seeing her cry like that somehow sent a small pain in his heart.

"As you wish..." he responded.
