Sakura

Sakura waited for her captor to return. She sat on her bed and laced her hands together, placing them gently on her lap. It was as if there were a chess board in front of her and she was strategically placing her pieces around where they were needed. Some on defensive, some on offensive. The door soon swung open again sending the young woman reeling out of her train of thought. How irksome.. she thought with an annoyed grimace that was soon replaced by her obviously fake, sweet smile. "Back so soon, Kabuto sama?" she asked, teasing him and pushing his buttons as she could tell he was irritated. What's got him so riled up? Sasuke kun? No..It's something else... Glancing down at the tray that he placed in between them, she saw his gaze shift to a wall and snickered, trying to keep it stifled as much as she could.

Oh that's just too funny.. she thought, inwardly rolling around with laughter. He can't cook..At least I can..somewhat...Okay, so I can't. Big deal. I don't let it frustrate me.. Just to further push his buttons, testing the waters just to see how far she could go before it was 'too far', she slipped one of the dumplings into her mouth. Oh Kami, that's awful.. she thought, trying not to choke on it. Hm, should I, or shouldn't I? I should.. "Even though I am not hungry, arigato. It was nice of you, even if they're rather gross.." Her fake sweetness was mocking and she was so doing it on purpose. It's just too much fun to mess with him... she thought, triumphantly as she scooted a little away from him just in case her comment made him blow his top.

[ Okay, so I know I said I'd be good, but come on. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to screw with four eyes. It was way too much fun and he made it all so easy. He needed to learn how to hide his frustrations better, like I did. Had it been me that failed miserably at cooking, which it has been many a time, I would simply shrug it off and not cook any longer. No use crying over spilled milk. Even as I said they were horrible, they weren't 'that' bad. Honestly, I thought they'd be worse. It was just too amusing to pass up. Oddly enough, these mind games were becoming more natural to me as this game went on. At the time, I was only beginning to get serious. Just wait, for I would get much more ruthless in time. ].

Naruto

"Dattebayo, let me out of here, Yamato, Kakashi sensei! I have to go and get Sakura chan!" The blond boy growled as he thrashed in his wooden prison, only earning him a sigh from the wood user and a smile from the copycat ninja. "Naruto, calm down. You need to cool off. Once you're calm, you can think straight, and you'll know that the best course of action is to let things fall where they may. Sakura knows what she's doing." "If she stays gone much longer, don't worry, we'll send someone after her, but it's not you." "I could do it! Sakura chan is my best friend..I have to go after her, what if she's in trouble! Let. Me. Out!" Naruto continued to angrily demand his teachers and Kakashi simply leaned against the door reading his Icha Icha paradise book, sighing softly to himself.

Kabuto

"Back so soon, Kabuto sama?" she questioned. Considering he had barged in, such a polite question was the last thing he had expected. Especially the respectful sama she had used. He blinked, his anger being momentarily replaced by surprise. However, it was quickly obvious that his annoyance soon returned. She was teasing him. This infuriated him even more.

He was set on ignoring her..even as she began to laugh. He didn't care what she thought of his cooking, because in the end she would be stuck eating it and that would be worth it. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as she slowly took one. She bit down, and he watched her swallow. Considering her previous laughter, he was hoping she would just choke on it. However, sadly she didn't. When she was done with the first dumpling, he sensed a moment of hesitation in her.

Perhaps she's learned her lesson and is going to be nice.. he thought.

"Even though I am not hungry, arigato. It was nice of you, even if they're rather gross.."

Or..not..

His left eye twitched. And twitched. He was extremely tempted to shove every disgusting dumpling down her throat until she choked to death. The only thing holding him back right now was that he didn't have permission to kill her. He turned to face her, and just stared at her for a moment. He wasn't sure what to do. He wasn't the kind of person to just punch her..what would be the fun in that? Orochimaru might need her to have both eyes fully in tact, so he wasn't about to scalpel her eye could switch her toes and fingers around..but it wouldn't be easy if she was conscious. So, he did the only thing he could think of. He picked up a handful of dumplings and, with his eye still twitching, threw them right at her face. She was too close and he was too fast for her to dodge this one.

He blinked once, than twice, and then started to laugh under his breath. He pushed up his glasses, hiding his humor filled eyes, and tried to muster a serious face. There was no way he was going to start laughing hysterically. Just a little on the inside. But on the outside? He wasn't that pathetic.

Orochimaru

Their weapons collided, and Orochimaru jumped back. They had been training for two hours straight, and although the Uchiha could no doubt keep going, this body of his was beginning to weaken at a faster rate. It is best to save my energy.. there is work to be done..

"Training is over for the day. I've some things to do.. he stated, and turned around. He began walking the other way, but remembered there was something else to say. "Ah..Sasuke. I encourage you to break the girl's will. Do whatever you wish to her, as long as you do not kill her.. Not yet, at least. I have some unfinished business." he finished, a disturbing smirk etching his face. His plan was going so well.

He left the area in order to find one of his high ranking subordinates within the village. There was things that still needed to be done.

"You are to make sure the nine tails jinjuriki receives this message: An adorable pink haired friend of his needs his help. If he does not come alone, she will die."

"Hai!"
