DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto so please don't sue me, happy?

"Orochimaru..."

"Yes, it is me." he said smiling at her.

"Why did you kidnap me?" she asked seriously, her eyes knitted together.

"Well, that'll be answered later on." he walked towards Sakura.

"I DEMAND YOU TO ANSWER MY QUESTION RIGHT NOW!!!" she yelled. This stopped Orochimaru dead in his tracks, just staring at her.

"Learn to shut your mouth, girl." Kabuto threatened.

"And if I don't want to?"

"That's it." he got a whip from his sash and whipped it across her once delicate skin. Her head was forced to turn to the right, a large slash burning her face.

"Kabuto, you shouldn't have done that! I'll be the one to decide what punishments she's gonna get." Orochimaru said.

"Yes sir."

"Good. Now, get out of here." he ordered.

Kabuto, of course, had no choice but to go outside.

'What does he think of me, a rat? When that time comes, I'll kick all the ever-living shit out of him.' he thought.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru was starting a conversation with Sakura.

"I'm sorry about that, my dear Sakura. He's just like that always. You better get used to it."

"WHAT?! You mean, every single minute I would get slashed by that, that...FORSAKEN BASTARD?!" she shouted.

"Yes and no. You'll only get punished if you would do something I do not like." he replied. "And if I'm dot mistaken, you do not have anymore feelings for that Uchiha boy, right?"

Sakura bowed her head to hide her eyes. She hesitated before she answered.

"Yes, I do not have feelings for him, not anymore. And I would never allow myself to fall for anybody ever again." she said, not looking at him.

"Oh really, how about Hyuuga Neji?"

"Shut the hell up." Venom dripping in every word she said.

Orochimaru stifled a laugh. He went closer to Sakura.

"Don't worry, my dear cherry blossom. As soon as you get out of this place, you would be in corpses already."

Sakura's eyes left their sockets (A/N: not literally).

Orochimaru did hand signs. When he was already done, the chains that held Sakura broke. She fell on the ground.

"Let the torture begin."

Sakura got up to fight. But before she even had a chance to get a weapon, Orochimaru paralyzed her whole body.

'I can't move.' she thought.

"Good, now we shall start the flowing of a new red river."

'Oh no!'

Four shurinkens were shot, slashing both her arms and legs. She yelped in pain but still stood up.

"Oh, so you're trying to show me your strength, huh? Let's just see about that."

He shot another round of shurinkens at Sakura. She dodged all the attacks but still got her clothes torn (A/N: but not completely). She counterattacked, sending him the same amount of weapons shot at her.

Sakura's whole body was aching.

'God, how the hell am I going to do to fight this fuckin' son of a bitch?' she thought.

"Hehehe...looks like the little cherry blossom cannot fight anymore, can she?" Orochimaru mocked.

"Shut up!"

Sakura readied herself for the next assaults, blood trickling all over her body. She posed in an offensive manner. She threw another set of weapons which Orochimaru evaded easily. But he didn't expect her to run so fast with a shurinken on one hand to stab him. He was caught off-guard. Sakura pounced on top of him. He had to hold her wrists to stop the weapon from making contact with his chest.

"Get your friggin' hamds off me!" he demanded.

"Not until I kill you."

Sakura was about to strike when she was pushed so hard. Her back collided with the bricked wall. Some of her saliva came out from her mouth.

'Kami-sama, I think my shoulder blades are already cracking open.' she thought exasperatingly.

"I have never thought you would be that strong, my cherry blossom."

"Thanks for the complement. And stop calling me with that name. It's really annoying, ya' know?"

"I can call you anything I want."

He started hitting Sakura. She was just standing up when she felt another punch on her stomach. A heap of blood came out from the mouth.

"Ow..." she groaned.

"Thanks, Haruno. Now I think my knuckles are already fixed." he smiled.

"What?"

"I said, GET READY FOR THIS!"

He threw a knife. And because Sakura was a little bit weakened, it hit her right thigh.

"AAARRRGGGHHH!"

Meanwhile...

"AAARRRGGGHHH!"

"That's her voice!" Ino said.

"And I think she's in a really bad situation." Kiba added.

"Hurry up, we need to get her AND the scrolls!" Naruto shouted.

And so, they ran to save Sakura.
