Sasuke sat with his back against the wall, trying to think of a way to escape Shuhiko. Sakura slept across the room, laying peacefully on her side. The Uchiha stared at her dreamily. He hadn't been able to sleep, so he blamed his odd emotions on that fact..

'We have to get out of here soon... Who knows what Shuhiko plans to do with me... or worse, Sakura....' the boy groaned in his head.

He ran his fingers through his ebony hair and sighed worriedly. Sakura shuffled and made a quiet squeak. Sasuke looked up at her hazily. The female was waking up. She groggily moaned and blinked away her morning haze.

".. Sas-.... Sasuke?... What are you doing up so early.. You need to be sleeping."

The Uchiha looked down. He couldn't sleep knowing Shuhiko could just waltz in and take his pink haired friend. He didn't notice that she was right next to him.

"Sasuke, your acting strange.. Did something happen to you while you were here?... Did Shuhiko do anything to you?," the girl questioned, remembering how he had been acting since she had shown up.

The boy flinched when she placed her hand on his, wrists aching in pain. His eye squinted a tad bit, but he tried to suffer in silence. Anyways... Her hand.. felt.. Kind of good.

'Oh God, something must be wrong with me...' he whined inside his mind.

Sakura saw is face scrunch up slightly, wondering what was going on in his head. She gave him a good over look. He didn't look to bad, now that her eyes had adjusted. Only thing that really showed was his exhaustion.

"Sasuke.. You should sleep.. I can see that you really need some."

"I'm fine Sakura... Besides... Shuhiko should be coming soon by now.. I can't be sleeping then."

"Why not?...," the female replied quickly.

Sasuke sighed, wanting to just drop the subject and let him think. He opened his mouth and was about to tell her to forget it when the door was knocked on. It opened loudly, squeaking and scratching across the floor as it did. Shuhiko walked in and turned a light on. The two genin flinched at the sudden change in the room. Sasuke was temporarily blinded, eyes trying to adjust. He covered them, but regretted it when he heard Sakura gasp. The boy tried to see what was happening, sight coming back slowly. He made out Shuhiko's body, one arm dragging the girl out of the room.

"S-Sakura!" Sasuke gasped, but the door shut on him, leaving him alone and confused.

_______________________________________________________________

Sakura was dragged down the hall way, kicking and growling at the older ninja. She saw a door coming into view. The girl was tossed inside carelessly, Shuhiko following her quietly. She looked around the room. There was a chair in the middle, straps connected to the arms and legs.

"What do you plan to do with me," she snarled at the man.

He laughed, picking her up and shoving her into the chair. Sakura thrashed wildly. Her arms were held down as well as her legs, leather encircling her limbs. Shuhiko took a step back, admiring his work. He crossed his arms and walked around her. Finally, he stopped behind her, grabbing a handful of her pink hair and leaning down so that his mouth was next to her ear.

"I hope your comfy, young lady. Your going to be in this chair for a while," he chuckled.

Sakura's hands bawled into fists, blood dripping out of them. She struggled uselessly, refusing to give up.

"Scared?"

"... No... If you had wanted to kill me, you would have already..," the female hissed quietly, hopping that she was correct.

Shuhiko smiled down at her, making the girl gasp.

'What!? Are... Are those.. Fangs!!?? This can't be real, it must be.. some kind of genjutsu...'

"This isn't genjutsu, my dear. Why would I go through the trouble to make you think I had fangs?"

Sakura shivered slightly.

'This ninja.... He must have done something to Sasuke... When Sasuke went crazy during training, he had the same fangs....'

"What are you! Why did you bring me and Sasuke here!? Tell me!" she screeched at him.

Shuhiko laughed again.

"You honestly have no clue what I am?.... Well.. I'm offended," the rogue made a sad face, looking away from her and sighing.

Sakura glared angrily.

"I know exactly what you are... A low-life piece of-" a fist embedded itself into her ribs, making her cough.

She doubled over as far as the straps would allow her to go, blood dripping onto her lap. Shuhiko grabbed her hair once more, yanking her head up.

"Now, your going to keep your pitiful, litle ass in this chair while I leave... Don't you dare try to leave this room, or I will kill you," with that said, he swished around, walking out the door silently.

_______________________________________________________________

Sasuke flinched as the door exploded back open, lights flickering off and leaving him lost in the darkness of the room. The boy heard something in front of him, activating his sharingan. He yelped loudly as he felt a glob of his dark hair snatched up, lifting him onto his feet.

"Will you ever learn to listen, stubborn little brat." Shuhiko murmured, proceeding to drag the helpless boy to his new destination.

He opened the door and walked down the long corridor. Sasuke had his hands wrapped around the man's wrists, pain etching his face every so often. God did his head hurt..

"Let me go!" he thrashed, clawing at the man wildly.

He was shoved into the wall, pinned harshly. Shuhiko snarled in his face, baring his teeth at the younger boy. Sasuke froze, swallowing slightly.

"That's right, keep your trap shut," he hissed, ramming his head back into the wall and walking off again.

Sasuke moaned in pain, getting shoved into another room. He blinked repeatedly. This room was extremely bright to him. He covered his eyes, squinting them shut. Shuhiko stalked over to him, grabbing the back of his shirt and pulling him up. The Uchiha squirmed, trying to land a punch or a kick on the ninja, who eyed him lazily. The man stopped in front of a table. He picked up a needle, pushing Sasuke to the floor. The genin growled, squinting up at him.

"Hey, what's-"

He held in a gasp, feeling a prick in his arm. He twitched as he suddenly felt exhausted. He inhaled weakly when it was taken out, leaning back on his elbows. He breathed deeply, one eye closed.

"Shu..... hiko....," he whispered dryly.

"Hmhm... I'll see you when you wake up, Sasuke-chan. But for now, try to get some sleep," Shuhiko's voice faded away from him as he fell into unconsciousness.
