Sakura sat at the table, eyeing the other people anxiously. For the most part, it was silent, only the scraping of sliver ware against the fine china plates. A few of the men weren't eating, but sat, waiting for their master to excuse them. Yes, Orochimaru was sitting at the head, clad in a white robe, displaying even paler skin and making those evil oddly colored eyes shine out from under the jet black hair. His hair hung in front of his face, the greasy, oily stands sticking to his head. Sakura played nervously with her own hair, averting her eyes to her lap. It felt strange to be in the makeshift robe, among other things.

When she had entered, instantly every man's eyes flew to her. She could feel there gazes penetrating her body, but just as quickly, the men had stopped. Orochimaru hadn't even spoken to them, just gave a curt nod and continued devouring his meal. Sasuke took her to the end of the table, sitting beside her, so she was shielded from the rest of the people. About 10 ninjas sat at the elaborate table, some eating, and some staring off into space. The majority looked either heavily armed, or had huge muscles that could easily knock Sakura to the floor.

She new better then to eat the rice that was sitting in front of her, or to drink the water or anything else for that matter. After what had happened last night, she knew her presence meant only one thing too the soldiers. Fresh meat.

"Sasuke, Sasuke, can we go," she whispered softly. A few of the men around her snickered. Sasuke looked at her, as if annoyed she was there. HE nodded, and placed his own rice bowl down, the contents only half eaten.

"Orochimaru, I need to speak to you," some of the men laughed, and made obnoxious noises that usually were left for teenagers classrooms.

"Is that so? After the meal Sasuke. If you wish, you may take her outside. Do not leave Sasuke, or I will kill her," Sasuke didn't even pause as he stood up, pushing the chair out from the table, and gripping Sakura's arm angrily. He hurried out, leaving the room with Sakura running beside him, obviously scared. As soon as they had burst through the doors, he pushed her down a darkened hallway, and began toward a slit of light at the end.

"Are you taking me home Sasuke?"

"No," She gasped and tried to pull away, but he continued down the hallway, almost reaching their destination.

"But, but Sasuke. You can't expect me to stay here. You really don't want me to be here. I don't want to be here. I would want to be anywhere but here. Please, let me leave. They'll come looking for me, you know Naruto when he's upset. They'll track me down like there is no tomorrow and when they find you they'll-"

"Why do you always have to talk so much? Give those lips a rest for once. Its hurts my ears and you are destroying my train of thought. Sakura, the night I left you blubbered on about screaming really loud too! Just shut the hell up for once!"

"Yah, well just like in the chunin exams, you didn't save me. Naruto did. And you're not saving me now are you!" he slammed her body into a wall, her head hitting the wood hard. She glared into his pools of liquid ebony hard, not even realizing her lips were dangerously close to his or the fact he was holding his body down with hers, their forms molding together. No, the younger Sakura would have, but not Sakura the women, who had left behind her straight figure and Sasuke when she was 13.

"Shut up you persistent bitch!" she tried to kick, but he caught her leg with his own and slammed her back against the wall. She squirmed underneath him, and elbowed his face. She managed to drop to the floor and turn away, before he caught her arms and once again heaved the woman upward. He pushed her away, and she slammed into the opposite wall, staring up at him.

"Fine! I'll leave on my own accord. Not to hard. I'll just leave!"

"Ha, and you were supposed to be the smart one! You haven't eaten in 2 days, you have been poisoned, beaten, and raped! Not only that, but even in your best health everyone in this complex out does your powers. Don't make me laugh," he scoffed and began to walk away. She pushed away from the wall, and followed him, her fists clenched. He was walking toward the slit of sunlight towards the back, and she eyed him angrily, until he opened a door and sunlight filtered in.

Sakura gasped, and ran into the warmth, pushing her self in front of him and spinning into the crisp morning air. Yes, it had been to long since she had seen the light, and it felt so good on her skin. She swung around to face Sasuke, her angry eyes replaced with her usual smile and dancing emerald orbs. He had his 'I am Uchiha, the avenger, leave me alone, I am superior' face on, but his eyes looked happier, like they knew something she didn't. They were on a porch, looking out into a large courtyard, evidently a training ground.

There were people sparing, oblivious to Sasuke and Sakura. She looked at them eagerly, watching as they chucked knifes, twirling enormous double ended swords all encrusted with gems, real or fake. The all looked like regular people. Except for the fact some had ugly scars or extra limbs. Sasuke advanced forward, and Sakura quickly picked up the pace next to him.

"If you are so keen on escaping, then there are only a few ways. If you earn his trust, and he decides to let you live, then if ever on a mission, leave. But, as you will most likely never earn his trust, he will try to maker a deal. But Sakura, Sakura, if you ever make a deal with him, I'll kill you myself. Never make a deal with the devil, because it will never turn out right," he had moved over to a large stone trunk, and had leafed through it, drawing out an oddly shaped knife. It was like a P with spikes, and he caressed the sharp blade before throwing it where Sakura had just stood.

She growled as she landed next to him, her eyes furious that he had just attached her. "The only way, is to get stronger," he grinned his Sasuke smile, before disappearing and slashing at her back with a wooden practice stick. She jumped away and tried to keep up with him. But the angry pats from his stick seemed to be coming out of nowhere. Wait, they were! She kicked the ground and a layer of dust showered on the illusion, making the imaginary swats at her disappear. She punched right, and felt for a second the doughy substance of a cheek. Before she could guess though, her body was flung out ward and into someone else, who seemed to have a tail. They didn't have time to make her pay though, because Sakura was up, beating out toward invisible air.

"Stop," immediately, as if a cold hand had captured her body, Sakura turned and looked up too Orochimaru's voice. E smiled coldly, as Sasuke skidded next to her, partially shielding her from sight.

"What do you want?"

"You and I need to have a little chat,"
"Fine, let me take her to my room-"

"No, I think if our little guest is capable of eating and training with you, she should get to know some of our other residents. Lets see, find her a nice female partner, so little Sakura won't feel so out of place. Must be so scary for her, hmm, what a pity,"

"Master Orochimaru! I'll watch her until Master Sasuke returns. It would be a honor," Yumi stepped out of the crowd, her dirty blonde hair swinging around her waist seductively. She flashed a smug smile at Sakura, who bit a lip, glancing up at Sasuke. He to turned, frowning distastefully at Yumi, before looking into Sakura's eyes. She begged him with her gaze not to leave her alone, with theses strangers. But he knew he had no power over Orochimaru's decision.

"Yes, take Lady Sakura around the camp, find her some proper clothing maybe? Spar a little. Make her feel like she's snug and safe in her own filthy village. Come Sasuke," he left, and instantly Sasuke responded, not even giving Sakura a second look as he followed his master into the dark house.

Sakura stood silently in the courtyard, watching her teammates retreating back.

'Sasuke, how could you just leave me, especially after what they did to me last night? I, I', not scared, but all the same, I don't want to be alone!' Yumi starred at Sakura's form, eyeing her well rounded body and toned legs.

"So, you are Sakura. Hm, never thought I would see the day the glorified patron saint of Tsuande would get herself captured, and even degraded as it was! You shouldn't worry though, all the men are like. They see a pretty face, have a couple drinks, and they're all over you! Hah! I can't even count the times I have been hit on. I mean, when first came here, by free will unlike you, even your own Sasuke was all over me! But, they grow used to you and your powers and they no longer care, so, don't worry!"

Yumi stared at the girl, waiting for a response. While she was hoping for tears and a hurt face, anger or depression would be just as good. Instead, Sakura began to laugh.

"What! What's so funny girl!" Sakura laughed harder and wiped away tears, clutching her sides.

"Its, its just that you remind me of my friend Ino!" as quickly as the name came out she was silent again, this time, hurt. It had begun dawning on her, that if she didn't escape, that she might never see her friends again. No stupid Naruto, with the now pregnant wife. No sarcastic Neji or loud Ino. No tasteless jokes from Ten ten. No Lee trying to use corny pick up lines on her. It just wasn't fair.

"Whatever. Now, I've heard through the grapevine that you're not half bad at fighting. But seeing as how you look like a cheap whore in that skanky little number, and you look tired and unattractive, I'll take you to the store. Lucky girl we robbed a clothing mart a week ago, we have tons of stuff, so stop frowning. I don't like girls who cry, got it kid," Sakura nodded, and as the woman moved away, she half heartily followed. She didn't want to be here, she didn't want to be seen. She wanted to be with Sasuke, or in his room, alone. This wasn't right, it felt so casual, like she hadn't been kidnapped or beaten.

Sasuke opened the door, letting Orochimaru in before slamming it in the face of his annoying silver haired slave. Then he whipped around and began immediately in to his desperate plea.

"You can't keep her here. Release her or I'll-"

"Don't threaten me with your petty threats. Even if she was no use to me and I let her leave, she knows to much now, and no amount of torture will make her forget it. No, I think the best thing to do is-"

"If you even lay a finger on I'll-"

"Interrupt me again and I'll have to do something drastic Sasuke. Now, whether you realize it or not, she is powerful. More powerful then the majority of my soldiers. My arms are not completely healed, and as a student who surpasses Tsuande, she can heal them. Do not tell me you'll do something, because even you can not bring down the entire army Sasuke. My plan is simple. She will work for me now. A very good assassin I heard, well I should be asking you, as she did manage to kill you," a smirk tugged at his lips before he went on.

"All I need is to get her trust and turn Sakura against her village. Then, I will have a special mission planned for you two. Now, as for her safety and other things. You seem to care for her, so I promise no harm will fall on her, directly. But Sasuke, I cannot control everyone all at once, be mindful of this.

"Now, what really needs to be said is your relationship. I know you want to feel hr skin pressed up against yours. That hot, sweaty flesh, her heart beating fast as you fuck her hard. Writhing beneath you. How about her on her knees, giving you pleasure, or how about you giving her pleasure. I recommend using you fingers, because she feels so good. Tips tracing her panty line, feeling that soft skin. You'll never feel anything like it, I promise!" Sasuke growled and Orochimaru chuckled,

"Yes Sasuke, I felt her skin. That hot, soft flesh. No, no, I did not take what I know you want so badly. Just teased her a little,"

"You're disgusting. Just make sure what happened last night doesn't happen again, as it seems there is no way to make you change you mind about her leaving," with that, Sasuke left, his pants a little tighter then when he had come in.

"Here, this, this, and this. Plain and simple. You're a small right, good. We'll take these," Sakura felt the black material and sighed. Yumi was demanding, if not cruel. She bossed Sakura around, but at least it was just Yumi. No one had talked to her, or even looked at her since Sasuke had left, but the annoying wasp Yumi. She was mean, and rude, but it was better then the grotesque men that were everywhere.

Sakura took the lumpy package from Yumi, and nervously glanced away, avoiding the stares of the woman who was sitting behind behind the bar. One of the few buildings, it was a bar where it seemed served alcohol, and well, alcohol. In a room directly above it was a warehouse full of shit. Clothing mostly, extra weapons, loose cloth and regular shit.

The room was empty, all for a tall, gangly woman who kept polishing the same sword, over, and over again. Her violet eyes watched Sakura angrily, and Sakura squirmed, lifting one foot nad another, feeling nervous as the strange woman glared harder at her back.

"Hn, don't be afraid Miss Sakura. Its just that every woman in here is pretty pissed at you, as you did spend last night with Master Sasuke. Every woman has tried to get invited up stairs, let alone into the sex god himself room. Guess they're just jealous of you. No worriers though, I don't desire such a cold hearted man. No matter how hot he is. I have never allowed his flirting with me, never! Now, lest get you into these new clothing and out of such a reveling outfit. You like a cheap whore, but then again, I heard that's how Sasuke found you!"

Yumi pushed Sakura into a bathroom. The minute Sakura was inside, she looked for a open window. The whole day she had been considering a plan. Apparently, from the people she kept seeing walk to the wall, they just pumped in a ball of chakra. Easy. She just needed to be alone, as she was now. Sakura pulled off her makeshift robe, and pulled on one of white shirts. It was a loose fitting tank, that had no sleeves but a loose turtle neck thing. The cloth was extremely soft, not cotton, or silk, but a sort of mixture. Sakura pulled on black practice kapris that fit tightly against her legs. She wrapped white tape from her ankles up to where the kapris ended.

She fixed her slicked back ponytail, and left the rest of the clothing on the ground. It was time top move. HS slipped through the tiny window and landed slightly behind a bush. Sakura sped quickly past ninjas who didn't even recognize her. She snuck behind a hut, placing a hand on the wall. She willed her unwilling chakra to flow out. Her chakra didn't like to help unless she was fighting for series, or saving someone. Any other time and she had to force it out, like throwing up when you felt perfectly fine. Or cutting off a piece of your self.

The pink flow burst powerfully through her fingers, and flowed into the wall. Instantly, the wall morphed open, and she slipped through, flying quickly through the air. Freedom! She whizzed by, leaving the ground to enter the forest. She flew off every tree, and breathed in the fresh air and leaving behind the stench of Orochimaru.

"It seems Master, that Yumi let her escape,"

"Is that so,"

"Shall we catch her?"

"Yes, please do. Bring her and Yumi to the courtyard at dusk. They will get there punishments together," A snake like smile crawled onto his thin lips, and in the dark the servant nodded, watching the only half of his Masters face curve into a wicked smile. She left him, bustling through the library, and out into the hallway, nodding to a guard that licked his lips. He took off, ready to catch an escaped bird.

Yumi struggled against the woman's arms, clearly not enjoying the fact she was getting pushed around the compound, being laughed at. She knew better then to resist, so just let the large, busty women patrol her around. Many of her friends were laughing hard, keeling over at the sight of Yumi with her arm held behind her back forcefully.

She was finally dragged to the training courtyard. Up head, made her face pale. Sakura, that repulsive girl Sakura was laying seemingly unconscious on the ground. A man was wrapping up a net,nad some were laughing to them self's.

"Hey, that little girl put up quiet a fight. To bad she fell straight into our trap. One of the most powerful ninjas in Kohana my ass! She couldn't leave a bruise!" Yumi smirked. The little tart had gotten away form her, but it seemed she hadn't gotten very far. Yumi was dropped next to the woman, who immediately sat up, a sigh escaping her lips. Yumi stood, and turned to hit the man beside her, who was making rather annoying jokes.

"Yumi, how could you let Sasuke's lover girl get away. I thought the minute Orochimaru left you alone with her, you would rip the woman to shreds!"

"Shut you idiot! It wasn't my fault! Now shut it before I make you shut it!" Yumi crossed her arms before directing her gaze up to her master. He was sitting on a step, looking very pissed. She bent her head in disgrace, daring to speak. "Master, please forgive me for loosing track of the girl. She got away, and for that I know I must be disciplined,"

"Yes, you must. But, Sakura, let me talk to you for a moment. What made you think you would escape. I did want to see how you'd are against a trap and my guards, but you disappoint. Me. So, you're punishment, will be to show me your real powers. If you want to live, then prove to me that your skills are worth having around. Yumi, for not watching her like I demanded of you, I want you to also show me you're worth keeping around. Battle each other, now!"

"What! You can't just tell me to battle someone. I don't do what you say, and I don't fight unless I have to too! I'm not going to fight her! Just let me be ! Let me go home! You can't keep me here forever!"

"Sakura, if you do not fight! Then, Sasuke will pay for your stupidity. How about I have him train until he falls over, dead. Or send him into a pointless mission that results in his death. Maybe I should just kill him right here, I really don't need him anymore, so-"

"If you didn't need me, then you wouldn't let me do whatever I wanted, and I would already be dead. Sakura, come," Sakura moved as if to run up the stairs to him, but a man grabbed her waist, pulling her back down.

"No! She will fight Yumi to prove that she is worth her own life! If she doesn't I can easily have her killed right here. Is that what you want Sasuke?" The man clenched his jaw, but didn't speak. Sakura's eyes widened as she realized what this meant.

"Good, I want this little bitch to feel what real power is!" Yumi growled as immediately a kuni flew past Sakura's head, cutting away a loose strand of hair.
