Chapter 10
Meeting Insanity Head On

"All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature,
compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire."

~Aristotle

Sakura Haruno Age: 19 Sasuke Uchiha Age: 20

~"Wake up," a foot nudged Sakura in the back one too gently and she opened her bleary red eyes, "it's time to go." Sasuke had all ready made the proper preparations for their departure, destroying their fire, removing any evidence they'd been there. It was a typical way to go about mornings as a ninja, especially one on the run.

~Sakura sniffled, feeling cold. The night hadn't been kind to her body, among other things. She rubbed some circulation into her arms and rose to her feet, reaching for her pack and shouldering it. Sleep hadn't come to her until an hour before day break and though she wanted badly to complain, she bit her tongue and followed behind her captor sluggishly, much to his disdain.

~On several occasions as they charged a head wherever they were going, he looked back to make some snide comment about their irritatingly slow pace, which he chalked up to her fault. Though she didn't deny it wasn't, she didn't think it was making her any faster by accusing her about it.

~The day dragged on, the sun violating Sakura's senses, the wind permeating her thin clothing and molesting her attitude. She couldn't even control her foul temper when Sasuke paused long enough for her to catch her breath, one minute they were silent and the next she was throwing kunais, which he easily dodged.

~"How much farther is it," she gasped out, struggling for breath. Her body leaned up against a tree trunk as the Shinobi tested the air.

~"A few more miles, if you had the chakra we'd be there all ready."

~"If you'd let me go, I could be on my way home."

~"Hn."

~"I fucking hate it when you do that," she couldn't hold in the rising cough anymore and gagged as the breath wheezed from her lungs.

~"Hn." With that, he continued on, leaving her clutching to the tree-trunk as if it was the only support keeping her standing. She collapsed at length, if he wanted to keep up this pace, he could do it alone. When she felt enough energy to go, she'd follow… maybe.

~"Get up, Sakura."

~She glared at him through her hair, "no. I'm tired and places hurt that shouldn't be hurting."

~He lifted his eyebrow at her, picking over her words and crossed his arms over his chest. The day before hadn't exactly been her ideal day, he had to give her that one, but she wasn't a weakling, he couldn't understand why playing the weak role today.

~"I'll carry you," he finally said at length, coming to stand beside her and facing away as if to give her a ride on his back. Under most other circumstances, she might've agreed to it, but her pride denied her that luxury, especially when the last thing she wanted was to touch him or be touched.

~"You can wait."

~"Wrong answer," he whipped around and grabbed a handful of her hair, hoisting her to a standing position. "Get on."

~She grit her teeth and gave him a lethal glower through one eye as she shut out the pain, "or what."

~"You just enjoy pushing me, don't you? I don't know how thick your damn skull is, but get this through your head. The only reason you're still alive is because you killed Karin and I fucked Karin. You are her new replacement. When I get that scroll from you, make no mistake, I will throw you away or kill you." He let her hair go and wrapped an arm around her, throwing her ungracefully over his shoulder and taking off.

~She slammed her fists into his back over and over, demanding her put her down, but he pinched the delicate skin of her inner thigh and she froze, "I am not in the mood for your shit, Sakura. I have other things to attend to." This seemed to keep her calm for awhile, and Sakura said nothing, at least she didn't have to chase after him, although his bony shoulder was digging uncomfortably into her gut. She didn't tell him that of course.

~Base camp was just as he'd left it, neat, clean, and ready to be left. Juugo sat on a stump meditating while Suigetsu paced back and forth like a madman on a mission. When Sasuke came bursting through the foliage, both men looked up at him and was surprised but a supple rump that was obviously not Karin's on their leader's shoulder.

~"Where's the bitch?" Suigetsu was the first to talk and was also the first to receive and angry glare.

~Sakura was forcefully thrown off Sasuke's shoulder and not too gently landed on her ass on the ground. She made no attempt to move for the longest time, falling prey to Suigetsu and Juugo's confused stares.

~"Sasuke, where is-"

~"Dead." His finalizing tone made both Shinobis close their mouths, they knew he didn't feel like talking about it.

~"Are we heading out, sir?" Juugo was always the polite and respectful one, his voice for some reason soothed Sakura's terror. One man, the one called Suigetsu had fangs like a piranha, hair the color of star light, and an evil aura about him that made her shake. The other man, the one's whose hair resembled a lighter tone then pumpkin was insanely tall, but he seemed harmless. Maybe that was ahis deceiving charm.

~"No, you two are going to go to the Mist Village and find me more information on the Living Scroll. She… Absorbed it."

~Both men's attention darted back to their new intruder and they finally noticed the eye tattoo on her chest.

~"Anything, sir?"

~Sasuke nodded, "go. Hurry. If I have to come out to find you two, I will kill you both, you have two days."

~Juugo was the first to move, followed in part by Suigetsu who retrieved his insanely large sword that looked vaguely familiar to Sakura, but she shoved away the thoughts and watched them go, a strange feeling of dread filling her body. She didn't want them to leave, didn't want them to leave her with Sasuke and she grabbed Juugo's hand as he passed her by.

~"Please, let me go with you," she begged.

~"Sakura," Sasuke mumbled disinterestedly, "let go."

~Juugo gently pulled his hand from the pinkette and knelt down next to her, leaning in close to her ear to whisper, "just do what he wants, it'll hurt less. You might even like it, just don't deny him. He'll give you to Suigetsu and that's a fate worse than death." He rose back up and left her there, patting the top of her head tenderly, like some affectionate older brother she'd never had before.. Though it was strange to have someone she didn't know show her this kind of affection, she clung to it and his words, eyeing the gray haired piranha man. He smiled menacingly and she shuddered, there was no way she wanted to be thrown to him, she'd go to Sasuke willingly before that would happen.

~When the men were gone and their chakras were too far away to hear her scream, Sasuke rose to his feet and walked passed her, beckoning for her to follow with his fingers. She hesitated for only a minute and finally gave pursuit, the last thing she wanted was for him to hurt her, but she seemed to know what was coming and steeled herself against it.

~The sound of water made its way to her ears after a few moments of walking and a hot spring's mist came into view. Sasuke was the first to begin disrobing, first his shirt, his sandals, and then his pants. He stood naked in front of her and happened to glance in her direction, smirking when she blushed red, "hurry up."

~She shivered, hating what she knew was going to come, more pain, another bout of feeling dirty and disgusting. If she had the strength to fight him she would, yet Juugo's words echoed in her mind and she shook wildly, she didn't want to be fish food.

~"Sakura, now." His voice startled her into action and she sheepishly unbuttoned her black mid drift shirt and lifted her bra up, off her body. She wiggled out of her shorts and bit her lip against the rising embarrassment when she was fully naked. Her hands covered her bare breasts, much to her watcher's amusement and he slowly walked into the water, the splashing sounds he made only made the Kunoichi blush harder.

~"Come here," he whispered, his chest poking out of the water as he reached for her hand.

~It took a few moments of coaching, but the Shinobi was patient with his frightened captive, he knew he had to be or she would shy away more so than she all ready was. He needed her to come willingly, the chase was only fun sometimes and in the end he found it better when they came to him instead of crying and screaming. Usually fits like those ended up in him getting bruised somewhere and he wasn't interested in that this morning.

~Sakura didn't take his hand, in fact she brushed it off and stalked passed him without a word. When she made it to the deeper end of the wading hot spring, she dunked herself to her mouth and blew out bubbles when he stared at her with a bemused glance.

~"It won't hurt this time," he assured her, but she didn't seem the least bit convinced and annoyance seeped into mind. Drawing closer, he lightly grabbed her wrist covering a breast and pulled her closer, spinning her around and placing both hands on her shoulders.

~Taking this as if he was going to force himself from behind like he had before, Sakura panicked and flailed out, slipping on the bottom and tumbling into the water. She came up sputtering and gagging on sulfuric water, greeted only by the soft sound of a masculine chuckle. Her body went stiff when he tried again, this time seeming to reassure her with a tender kiss to her neck. He relished in her shiver and felt her tremble underneath his hands that slowly began to massage away some of her aches and pains.

~From his angle behind her, he saw his love bite from yesterday, the skin slightly bruised and a blackening with a few scattered puncture marks marring the flesh. Though he enjoyed being rough, he knew she would be less receptive to him if he was so, wondering why she hadn't healed it like she'd done with her other wounds. He would've thought this one to be the first to go, it reminded her of how painful her first time was.

~He felt her shoulders slacken the more administerings he placed on her, a low sound erupted from her throat, like a moan that she tried to muffle. Pressing her further, he pecked a kiss on her shoulder, moving slowly up her body to her neck and jaw. His staff grew hard in an instant and pressed against the small of her back, causing a squeak to emit from her lips, the need was apparent.

~"I won't say no," she murmured, "but please… please be gentle."

~Sasuke spun her around and traced the line of her full lips with the pad of his thumb, bending forward and kissing her cheeks and jaw line. His fingers came up and tangled in her luscious, long hair, forcing her to his chest. She was unsure at first of what to do, but found he wanted her to return the favors he'd bestowed on her, until than he refused to let her head go.

~She lightly kissed the taut chest mechanically, uncertain of her next move and moved to his neck and face, going in to kiss his lips. He turned his head away, grabbing her chin and forcing her to his neck, the scent of him filled her nose and intoxicated her. The closeness of him was slowly getting into her veins and his touch sent spiraling emotions coursing to her core. She couldn't understand why he could be so gentle, yet so rough and she seemed to enjoy it, even if she didn't want to.

~Taking both breasts into his hands he began to massage the hardening nipples, flicking them gently until her eyes rolled into the back of her head. She was starting to relax against him, her body limply hanging onto the last vestiges of her iron clad morality which he knew would snap soon.

~He leaned forward and took a nipple between his lips, his tongue lashing at it cruelly and squeezing its twin. She twitched against him during all of this, but had stopped making sounds, drawing a curious look from the Shinobi. Her face was turned away, eyes staring hard at the edge of the bank, she couldn't look at him, didn't want to while he did these things to her. In her mind she knew he would take from her what he wanted, touch her, rape her, even hurt her, but what he wasn't going to take was her willpower to resist him. He could try all he wanted, though nothing was going to make her mind agree to this.

~"Look at me, Sakura."

~She shut her eyes and shook her head, feeling him pinch the delicate skin on her breasts.

~"I want you to look at me while I do this to you."

~"No. You can rape me all you want but I'm not going to watch you do it."

~A smile broke out on Sasuke's lips then, he touched the bandages on his biceps and pulled them off, revealing contract summoning tattoos there and just by the looks of them Sakura knew they were snakes. She yanked herself away when his two summons poured from the tattoos, slithering towards her menacingly. They didn't look especially dangerous, but the pinkette assumed that was part of their lethal charm.

~One white snake and one black coiled down her captor's arms and closed the gapping distance between them, wrapping around her frozen arms and pulling her closer. The tips of her breasts touched Sasuke's hard chest, forcing a terrified squeak to rip from between her lips, this was beginning to become too much.

~"When I tell you to do something, I expect you to listen." He let the snakes loop around her body, around her neck and arms, constricting her movement until she couldn't shove Sasuke's attentions off.

~He spun her around and nuzzled her neck, feeling her hands tied behind her and brushing lightly against his rock hard dick. The light touch shocked his senses and he moaned into her flesh, the tingling sensations spiraled through his body like molten fire, the knowledge of not being able to hold on much longer tickled the back of his mind.

~Tears sprang into Sakura's jade colored pools, she didn't want this, not again, but he was forcing her and causing a reaction. It frustrated her to no end to know her body was pulsing and aching in tune with his needs and wants and there wasn't anything she could do about it. If she fought, she might gain a momentary upper hand, but in reality, even if she ran he would catch her and drag her back. If he dragged her back he would hurt her, she didn't want him to hurt her anymore.

~His hands roamed her body, gently touching everything and feeling her trembling under the contact. He guessed it to be her finally realizing that this wasn't so bad, it could even feel good. With that thought burning into his mind, he turned her around and shoved her against the cliff base, unable to wait a moment longer to be inside her tight folds. Her hair covered her face and languidly floated in the water around her hips, the sight only served to entice him more. He grabbed her around the waist, angling his hands carefully under her ass and spreading her legs at the knees roughly, more so than he'd originally intended to. She gasped as the lack of gentleness, but said nothing, head against her chest as the tears kept coming.

~He situated himself at her opening and pushed in without waiting for her to adjust to him. Her cry of pain wasn't the same as it had been the night before, but he was sure he'd hurt her again, though pushed it from his thoughts and began his steady in and out rhythm.

~His core burned brightly, sending surging feelings of bliss rioting through his senses. He let one hand move from her ass to brace them against the hard rock, rocking into her deeper and harder with the new found balance.

~She was making tiny sounds against him, having pushed her face into his chest, each delectable noise sending him further and further over the edge. The rising orgasm started from his toes and worked its way up his legs, thighs, and hips, before it jolted into his core with a hard pulse.

~With a low growl, Sasuke leaned forward and nipped the tender flesh of her neck and rocked into her forcefully as the pleasure consumed him. His hot seed poured into her folds, but he didn't care, she was a medical nin she could easily keep herself from becoming pregnant with measured bits of chakra to the right areas.

~He waited there, frozen against her for the longest time, his snake summons absorbing back into his tattoos and freeing the nin's arms from their bonded position. She went instantly limp against him, arms hanging at her sides, with no intention of moving.

~As he pulled out, the sensitive organ caused a shudder to scream up his spine and a smirk to break out on his lips, it had been a very long time since he truly enjoyed the fruits a woman had to offer, even if she wasn't completely offering them.

~A choked sound emitted from his prisoner's throat, causing the Shinobi to push aside her luscious pink tresses to see. She was sobbing on his shoulder, the tears streaking down her face without any intention of ceasing. His eyebrows creased in confusion, he didn't think it had hurt her that badly, even yesterday she didn't cry like this.

~"Come on, Sakura. I'm sure it didn't hurt."

~Her gaze floated up to his and he saw not only anger and pain, but hopelessness. She had completely broken to him, wouldn't fight him, wouldn't deny what he wished of her, would just take it and expect nothing back. She was his slave… and she hated every second of it…
