Sasuke attempted to sit up.
Keyword: Attempted.
A sharp blade was pressed against his throat, and as he sat him, it was pressed harder, and before he could raise his arms to attack, they were pinned at his sides and tied at his back. He turned his head, and noticed a panic-stricken Miruko already being handled by two large men.
He heard a soft, reverberating laugh that seemed to hush the whole forest.
His head snapped in the opposite direction.
He narrowed his eyes.
There stood the snake master himself, smiling in adoration at Sasuke…
…holding a rigid Sakura by his side.
"SAKURA!" He yelled, straining against the rope. She turned her head away, almost as if in shame, and clung to the robe Orochimaru was wearing.
"SAKURA!" His voice was cracking, his fists clenched by his sides. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
Orochimaru chuckled, and encircled his arm around her waist, pulling her slowly closer.
"Get away from her." Sasuke snarled. His former teacher just tsked, mocking mirth evident in his eyes.
"Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun. You really haven't learned much, have you?" Orochimaru nodded his head in his minion's direction, and they were dragged towards him. Sasuke felt a sudden sharp to the back of his knees, and they gave in, forcing him to kneel.
"I'll make a deal with you Sasuke-kun." Sasuke glared up at him, tugged at his bonds.
"Stay here, with me—"
"Never." He spat, jerking his hands. A muffled sob from Sakura made him look up.
"Well, you see, Sasuke." Orochimaru looked sideways at Sakura and smiled.
"If you don't…I'll just have to keep your precious flower."
Sasuke let out a grunt of frustration.
Orochimaru ignored him.
"For you see, my student…last night, Sakura and I were joined as one."
Sasuke looked up, aghast, desperation written on his face.
It couldn't be…
"Isn't that right, Sakura-chan?" Orochimaru turned to face her, and looked questioningly, smiling.
Sakura, tears streaming down her face, nodded…
…and leaned in to kiss him.
Ha.
Didn't think it was going to be an OrochSaku, did'ya?
We will see...
Sorry it was so short, and late.
