Chapter 4: The Fight
Sasuke was deaf to the calls of his teacher telling him to stop. He ran as quickly as his legs could carry him, his head filled with rage seeing the appearance that the girl was in. He ran into the room, windowless and completely dark, other than the light coming from the door of the room he had originally been in. Sakura looked up from her position and saw a shadow running toward her. She blinked, and then recognized it, "S, Sasuke kun? Sasuke kun!"
He ran up to her and frantically made an attempt to remove the rusty chains from her arms and around her waist. "Sakura, are you ok? Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked while breaking off the chains.
"I'm fine," she said rubbing her arms as the chains were removed. "But we should get out of here, he's planning some kind of trap. I'm not sure what but. . ."
She was cut off by a sudden cough. "Sakura?" Sasuke asked as she continuously coughed with her hands covering her mouth. She slowly removed them, only to reveal that there was blood on them.
For about three seconds all they could do was stare at each other, wide-eyed. Then Sakura broke into a storm of coughs once more; blood trickled down her chin and onto her body. "Sakura!" Sasuke continuously called trying to support the girl. She wouldn't stop though; Sasuke hated himself for not being able to do anything. After a while she fluttered into his arms, tears were forming in her eyes from the pain; she didn't even have the strength to sit up on her own.
"Sakura. . . what am I supposed to do?" He asked her, when suddenly someone spoke from behind him.
"I cast a jutsu on her, if you want to save her you'll have to kill me within five minutes."
Sasuke swiftly turned around. Orochimaru had clandestinely sneaked up behind them. He wore his usual outfit, an odd sort of robe, and had one hand on his hip with the other arm hanging loosely by his side. He sneered at the boy as if challenging him and continued his speech, "if you don't, of course, she would die form a lack of blood."
Sasuke grinded his teeth, and was about to stand up and attack when he was stopped by a tug on his arm. Sakura was using the last of her strength to cling onto him. "Sasuke kun. . . Don't, he was going to kill me anyway. (COUGH) Just go, even if you fight it won't (COUGH) change anything." She lowered her head and coughed once again. A massive amount of blood dripped from her mouth like a waterfall. "It's either one of us or none of us, you understand that right?"
Sasuke leaned her against the wall and smiled at her, it comforted her, and thinking it would be the last she would see of the boy she made a weak smile back at him. "I understand," Sasuke started as he stood up. Sakura knew this was the right thing, but these words were painful, she felt a sort of pricking in her chest, and not from Orochimaru's jutsu.
"That's why I think both of us should live," he said sneering at Orochimaru.
"N, no. . .," Sakura started, but she had no more strength to continue her sentence. All she could do now was sit there silently and watch.
"Here I go Orochimaru," he said, unbuckling the belt on his arm. He knew how strong Orochimaru was, and that he couldn't waste chakra on small attacks, he had to go for the big one from the beginning. That was why he chose to use the chidori first thing.
"That's right, you need to give me your best shot to save your friend!" Orochimaru sniggered.
His hand suddenly started glowing, it was ready. "HAAAAAA!" Sasuke screamed as he ran towards his enemy with his immensely glowing hand. He aimed it at Orochimaru and swung it, "I got him," thought Sasuke, not noticing his enemy moving behind him in less than a second. Orochimaru pounded Sasuke against the wall. "Errr…" Sasuke said, trying to pick himself up despite the pain.
"Sasu. . .," Sakura made an effort to call out his name, like she always did, but her voice trailed off. She was so weak by then that she couldn't even cough, she could barely even keep her eyes open to watch the two.
When Sasuke had finally gotten to his feet, Orochimaru darted towards him and gave him a blow in the stomach. Once again flung onto the wall Sasuke coughed up a small amount of blood. "Hahaha, I guess you can't even protect your own friends!" Orochimaru laughed. Sasuke felt like something snapped inside of him, Orochimaru was right, he couldn't do anything about his family years ago. He couldn't let that happen again, not in front of him. . .
Not to the most important person to him.
Sasuke felt a pain in his neck building up, he knew the curse was reacting, but that didn't matter to him at that time. Orochimaru had jumped to the other side of the room, as though testing the boy to see what he would think of next. Sasuke felt strength come back to him caused by the curse; he set up for the chidori again. He started running towards his enemy, "I see your starting to use my powers," Orochimaru sniggered looking pleased.
Sasuke made an attempted blow, but once again failed, Orochimaru's speed was the cause.
Orochimaru laughed at the spot, "is that the best you can do. . ." He was cut short by a sudden pain in his back. He turned around to find five shuriken had stabbed him. His attention had all been on the chidori, so he hadn't noticed Sasuke throwing them in a boomerang sort of way. Orochimaru knelt down, it was more painful than he had expected it to be.
"You've improved your skills again," Orochimaru smiled. Sasuke was panting, the curse had spread to his face; he hadn't been exposed to it for a long time. He fell to his knees, he'd suddenly become extremely tired, and he needed Kakashi to do the counter-jutsu on him once again. "I guess it would be a waste of your powers if I took you now." He snapped his fingers in the air, Sasuke had a question mark over his head as to what he was doing. "I think I can expect a lot more from you, rather than waste your talent now I'll wait a little more, at least until you're stronger than Itachi. I left you a gift, enjoy it while you can because you won't be able to after a while."
That was all Sasuke heard, he collapsed on the floor the next moment.
