Headstrong to take on anyone,

I know that you are wrong,

And this is not where you belong,

Where you belong?


Traps

Traps, they were part of the day to day life of any ninja, Sasuke reflected as he looked at her definite face. You set them hoping to ensnare your enemies, while at the same time tried to avoid any that had been set for you. It was those same cunning traps that had caught her and brought her to this place, and now he, in turn was trapped by her.

Poor, brave Ino Yamanaka. So proud, so determined and this was where that unbreakable spirit had got her. He knew she must be scared, terrified even staring up into those malicious golden orbs, but still she held her head high, an arrogant sneer twisting her lips. Part of him was impressed by her show of strength, but the rest of him wanted to just scream at her to give in. To back down.

Ebony orbs flicked over the faces of those present, the intent almost greedy expressions as all eyes were fixed upon the slender blonde kunoichi. Didn't she realise how much danger she was in? His mind cried. If she refused to give Lord Orochimaru the information he wanted…they would kill her in the end, but only after they had destroyed her completely. Only when she was lying bloody and broken on the floor, only when she was begging for death.

A final question was met with a definite shake of her head, which had blonde strands flying into her face. He saw the look on Orochimaru's face, calculating and somewhat spiteful as Kabuto Yakushi quickly stepped forward, the hunger in his eyes all to evident. She was tapped now, and there was no way for her to save herself, and the thought of what the sadistic medically trained ninja might do to her made Sasuke's blood run cold.

And that fact alone was enough to shock him into action. He shouldn't care what fate befell her, she was nothing more than a relic from his past, a reminder of a life that was no longer his. The Yamanaka was nothing to him, he should feel nothing but contempt that she allowed her self to be captured. And yet the thought of her being left in the hands of one such as Kabuto caused the bile to rise in Sasuke's throat.

Swiftly he moved placing himself in front of the blonde female, the look in his eyes causing Kabuto first to stop and then back off completely. Eyes filled with questions flicked around the room, but none dared voice a single one. Sasuke Uchiha was special, the chosen vessel and as such was not subject to the same rules as the rest of those who dwelt in the village hidden in the sound.

With a cruel smile and a dip of his head, Orochimaru indicated that the prisoner was now the property of the Uchiha to do with as he saw fit. Before anyone could find the courage to object, he grabbed Ino by the arm and half led, half dragged her from the room. Along dark corridors he marched her, by all rights he should have taken her to one of the holding cells but instead it was his own room that he pushed her into, shutting the door behind them.

He wasn't sure what he had expected from her, curiosity maybe. Distrust, quite possibly. Relief, was a long shot. But what he had not expected was for her to turn and lung at him, hissing and spitting like a demon for hell. Her hands were bound before her, with chakra strengthened rope and yet still she tried to attach him. Her hands coming up, nails trying to scratch out his eyes until he was forced to push her form him with such violence that she went stumbling backwards and sprawled on his bed.

"Just get it over with already," She screeched, white hot fire dancing in her eyes as they flicked from his face to the weapons pouch strapped to his leg and back again. "I know you want to."

She knew he wanted to, huh? That was something Sasuke highly doubted this wasn't about vengeance or taking joy in taking a life. No, this was about needing to cleanse him self. He wanted to prove to himself that he really had moved on with his life and to do that he would show the girl that she really meant nothing to him and never would.

Shaking his head slightly, Sasuke reached down and pulled out a kunai watching the way her eyes immediately became transfixed by the blade. 'Oh Ino, so cleaver, so smart,' he thought walking slowly over to where she still lay on his bed. 'And yet you still can't see? If I wanted you dead I could have just left you there for them to rip apart.'

Her position was such that her enter upper body and the tops of her legs were supported by the bed, but her lower legs dangled over the edge, her toes just managing to reach the floor. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes as Ino turned her head away so that she didn't have to see Sasuke standing over her. But there was nothing she could do to block out the feeling of his weight pushing her back against the bed as he straddled her prone body.

Ino screwed her eyes tightly shut as she felt the tip of the blade run across her skin and tensed when it was pulled away. She braced herself preparing for the sharp stab, but instead with his soft grunt of effort she felt the ropes that bound her wrists fall away. Her intake of breath was sharp and she snapped her head back to face him, cerulean burning into onyx, for an instant before his mouth crashed down upon hers.

--

Sasuke didn't know at what point the heartless skill transform itself into heartfelt passion. When the beguiling and teasing fingers begin fiercely to clench and grasp. He could only remember the sound of her cries … and his. The slick slide of their bodies. The warmth within her. The dark perfume of her musk as her body arched and shattered beneath him.

Shocked and dazed he lay, his limbs entangled with Ino's and could only wonder at where his intentions had vanished to. He had been trying to prove that he was free but all he knew, as he held her firm young body tightly, was that in some inexplicable way he was now bound to the blonde kunoichi. Caught and held, in ways he couldn't explain. Trapped.


Please R and R I'd love to know what you thought.

Big luv see ya
