;P Anyway… here's the story…

"Che." Sakura smirked tauntingly, "Too much for a weak girl, don't you think?" Sakura said when she suddenly felt a chakra signature in the shadows of the dim lighted room.
"You're far from weak, hime-sama… You just don't know it… even we can't grasp your real strength… not after some… happenings…"
Sakura's iris turned yellow and her pupils changed into slits.
"Che, why am I in Orochimaru's lair?" Sakura said more than asked after calming the raging spirit inside her.
"I see you didn't try eating using your mouth." came a feminine voice.
The shadows then revealed Kabuto, his glasses in between his fingers and with him is the ruby-eyed girl she met hours ago.
Sakura just gave her a bored stare when all of a sudden, a Sound nin came rushing inside the room.
"Nani?" the girl inquired.
"Ayame-san, your fiancée has arrived from his long-term mission." The sound nin delivered the message in between pants.
"Honto ni? (Really?)" Ayame asked with a child-like glee. "Lead him here immediately!"
(A/N: Guys, correct me if I'm wrong… doumo!)
"Hn. No need." A voice was heard as another set of candles lighted the room, allowing its occupants to have a better view of the newcomer.
"Sasuke-kuun!" Ayame exclaimed upon seeing her fiancée. She hurriedly approached him and pulled him into a hug.
"Don't show your weakness, Aya."
Sasuke pushed her back but he only received a chuckle.
'I knew it.' Sasuke thought as he shifted his gaze to the bounded figure on the wall and finally landing on the untouched food.
"Stop acting, Sakura. You're tiring yourself."
Sakura raised a brow and muttered something as the strings that once held her disappeared from the view.
"I-Illusion?!"
Sakura rubbed her wrist to return the circulation back. She stood calmly but not after stuffing some cold bread in her mouth.
Finally gulping down the bread, she directed a gaze to Sasuke; muttering an "all that work for nothing."
She turned to face the ruby-eyed girl, and gave off a taunting sigh.
"I'm disappointed of you. You called me hime yet you can't give me an acceptable food to eat." She said, using a sarcastic tone.
She started walking towards the door. She was about to turn the knob so she can breathe some 'fresh' air outside…
When out of nowhere, a firm hand grasped on her arm therefore stopping her abruptly. Sakura ignored 'IT' and continued walking towards her destination, almost dragging 'IT' with her, but something as persistent as 'IT' wouldn't give up. Sakura got frustrated and gave 'IT' an annoyed look.
"Sasuke, I don't appreciate you hanging all over me like a LEECH."
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched but managed to say in his most nonchalant voice. "You're coming with me."
Without another word…
POOF!
They were gone but the ruby-eyed beauty wouldn't want to be left out by his fiancée.
"Wait for me Sasuke-kun!"
POOF!
And a certain hentai wouldn't want to miss something.
"Ma (Well), shouldn't let the kids play with fire."--- (A/N: Guys, not so sure about that…)
POOF!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The first thing that Sakura saw when the smoke cleared is the elegantly carved oak desk placed majestically in the dungeon-like room. Sakura's gaze traced the pattern of the desk to a figure occupying the seat behind it.
Sakura's nose twitched as a familiar scent entered her nostrils triggering something in her lymphatic system.
Sakura bored her hideous tiger-like eyes on the figure and hissed, "Orochimaru!"
The black lines on her body became more prominent and her nails grew longer and deadly sharp. Seeing this, Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
"Don't stress yourself, Saku-hime-chan. You're only convincing me more than needed with such daring moves."
Orochimaru's own yellow snake-like eyes stared back on her.
Sasuke stiffened and felt the temperature drop as the two continued their staring contest.
"Don't show your weakness." Sasuke whispered now more to Sakura than to Ayame.
Sakura, or rather, an infuriated Yukiyo whipped his head to Sasuke's direction.
"Don't tell me what to do, HUMAN!" the legendary spirit snarled dangerously with the use of his inhuman tongue.
"But aren't you one?!" Ayame accused, her hands clenched at her side, shaking with anger. Kabuto placed his hand on Ayame's shoulder and grip it.
"Damire (Shut up) Ayame, you may never know what Orochimaru is capable of… I suggest that you stay still or your place may just well be snatched away from you…" Kabuto whispered with his sadistic smile in place. Ayame tried to suppress the urge to shudder but it did not stop the chills that it sent on her spine.
On the other side of the room, Orochimaru stood from his position but never once leaving his eyes on the person in front of him.
"Now, now Saku-chan, let's not be aggressive, can't we?" Orochimaru mock slyly. Before Yukiyo can even blink, Orochimaru snapped his fingers and on cue, a group of missing nins appeared and pushed him to the floor immobilizing him completely, and accidentally leaving Sakura to her consciousness.
Realizing this, Sakura tried getting away from their grip but her attempts were in vain when one of the Nins took out a chakra string and tied back her wrist as the other one injected her paralyzing serum from a special snake, leaving her body numb and motionless.
"You bastards, let go of me." Sakura growled.
Orochimaru watched with a satisfied smirk as the nins paid no heed on her insults. Orochimaru strode in front of Sakura and took a clamp of her hair, lifting her face. He stretched his neck, nearing his mouth in the crook of her neck, biting her there and then… just like what he did to doom Sasuke's life many years ago.
Orochimaru slowly moved away from her, leaving her with half-lidded eyes staring at nothing at all. That sadistic and satisfied smirk didn't leave his features.
He turned his eyes on Sasuke.
Snake-like eyes fell into pools of cold dark orbs. The intent of those cold eyes didn't seem disturb Orochimaru, though; he just ignored it and snapped his fingers which were clearly directed to Sasuke.
Sasuke got irritated but hid it behind his stoic expression, and even if he didn't want to do it, he approached Sakura anyway but not before glaring at Orochimaru, telling him he doesn't want to be given orders but that was just a cover up for the real reason.
He touched her delicate face, tilting it upwards to meet her eyes. Once he caught her eyes, she fell in the nightmare of the Mangekyu Sharingan, which is another level of Sharingan he had had upon killing his brother. (A/N: Am I… incorrect with the spelling?)
