Six Arms To Hold You
Darkkinkachu: here you go NG-chan! This one will be (hopefully) longer and better than the other two! And special thanks to Griggling for the kind review. It really encouraged me and I agree; most crack fics are poorly written (Personally, I think mine is no exception, but thanks any ways)

Chapter Three
Dealing With Snakes And Perverts
-
Sakura woke slowly to the feeling of lead-footed spiders playing hop-scotch on her brain. Groaning slightly, she sat up and looked around. She was in a smallish room, with a bed, desk, table with two chairs and a book case. In front of her was an open door, leading to a bathroom. To the left was another door and…she blinked, sliding off her bed silently.
Sitting on a chair next to the door was the six armed man. All six arms were crossed over his chest and he appeared to be sleeping.
Big mistake buddy…she thought, grinning slightly. Pulling back a fist, she pumped Charka into it and punched him in the face. At least, that's what she meant to do. Instead she just stood there with a blank look on her face.
AAAAAA! Where's out Charka! Why can't we use our Charka? Inner Sakura screamed, running panicked circles around Sakura's mind. Green eyes fell on a silver bracelet encircling her wrist, That's not mine…frowning she tried to pull it off but the thin band of metal refused to budge.
CHA! It's blocking our Charka! Inner Sakura fumed. Sighing Sakura looked around. Nothing in the room looked like it would help her so she settled with inspecting her captor. Being a medic nin, she was fascinated by his multiple arms, wondering how he kept them coordinated and managed to move them separately. His skin was tanned and smooth with small white scars crawling their way over his body. Looking at his face, she cringed slightly. He looked malnourished.
I guess living with Orochimaru isn't the healthiest life style…her hand hovered above his face, wanting to brush away a few strands of dark hair that had come loose of his ponytail. Compared to the other Sound ninjas she had met, this one's face seemed oddly at peace. She looked up at his spiky ponytail and felt a slight pain in her heart. It looked like Shikamaur's…would they know by now? Would they come and get her? Why was she even here? Looking back to his face she had to bite back a scream. His eyes where open and watching her.
"What are you doing, Kunoichi?" he asked in a monotone voice.
"I…I was just…"
Checking out your hot body?
What? No!
Admiring your cute face?
NO!
Thinking of all the things he could do with those extra arms?
When did my inner become such a pervert? Sakura thought furiously.
"Hello, still here." The man said one eyebrow slightly raised, "Quit ignoring me Leaf!"
"Hm? Oh! Sorry…" Sakura mumbled, taking a few steps back, "Who are you and why am I here?"
Kidomaru blinked. Well she certainty doesn't beat around the bush…He thought, looking her over, "My name is Kidomaru. I was sent to bring you here. That's all I know." He watched her glare at him as he got up, "and I don't like being bossed around. This isn't a Holiday Inn, ya know. You are mine and Dosu's prisoner until further notice."
Sakura glared at him with cold fury while he just smirked, "There has to be a reason. You know it you're just not telling me."
"Why should I?" he asked, other eyebrow rising to be next to its brother, "What part of 'prisoner' don't you understand?"
Clenching her fists, Sakura wondered how hard she could punch with out her Charka, "so Kidomaru-san…when will I find out why I have been abducted from my home?"
He shrugged, spreading most of his hands out in a 'search me' motion, "Orochimaru-sama wants to see you this evening. Maybe you'll find out then. And I know you're out there." He said the last part a bit louder, glancing over his should. There was a sound of shuffling and cursing from the other side of the door. Sighing, he turned and placed a hand on the doorknob, "There are clothes in the dresser and a shower in the bathroom, if you want to look presentable for the master."
A slight smear of pink crossed her face. She was still in her night clothes and felt rather dirty, probably from fighting and then being carried through a forest all night. As soon as she heard the lock on the door click, Sakura turned around and stalked off to the shower.
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
"What do you mean there's nothing we can do?" Naruto screeched, slamming his hands down on the desk, "We have to save Sakura-chan!"
Tsunade sighed, resisting the urge to bonk the loud blond. Ever since he had burst into her office that morning, he had done nothing but scream and destroy her headquarters. Tsunade was even quiet sure the Kyuubi had popped out at some point, demanding that they 'return his precious blossom' "I know you want to help, but Orochimaru made it clear that if we attempt anything, he would kill her…or worse…"
All the people in the room shuddered slightly, not wanting to think of all the things the snake bastarted could do to their friend, "First Sasuke-teme now Sakura-chan…" Naruto mumbled, sitting back down, "I'll make Orochimaru pay for taking my team away from me…for taking my friends…" Everyone silently agreed.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sakura gave a happy sigh as the hot water cascaded down on her body. Grabbing a bar of soap, she started going over her plan. First of all, she needed to get this Charka blocking bracelet off. After that she was sure it would be easy to pound her way through the miner minions and then run like hell back to Leaf. The only problem was if she ran into one of three people. Kabuto (she wouldn't be able to keep up with his self-healing abilities) Orochimaru (Way too strong. Plus he's uber creepy and she didn't want to get near him) and….Sasuke.
She glared at the loofa in front of her. If Sasuke was here, she wasn't really sure what she would do. Sakura had gotten over her childish crush years ago but she still considered him a friend. If she saw him she didn't know weather she would hug him or punch him.
She turned off the water and stepped out, still deep in thought. Maybe they just wanted her to heal some one and then they would let her go? no, probably not. They had Kabuto for that. Information about Konaha? Maybe. She was very close to the Hokage, after all.
Half-way dressed, Sakura suddenly stopped. Turning slowly, she found herself face to face with Dosu, who was peeking in the bathroom door. His single eye was wide and slightly glazed while the bandages where his nose would have been were all bloody. She was sure he was drooling under all those coverings.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"
Kidomaru blinked and stared at the door. What the- before he could even finish that thought, the door to Sakura's room burst open and Dosu came bounding out, cackling like a mad man. He was immediately fallowed by a half-dressed Sakura, brandishing a back scrubber like a deadly weapon.
"Get back here you lecherous mummy!" She screamed to his fluffy retreating back. He just gave another delighted cackle and disappeared, "Uhg…I liked him better when he was trying to kill me."
Kidomaru coughed slightly, trying desperately to look any where but the scarcely clad girl before him, "I brought you some thing to eat."
"What?" She turned to face the slightly red male and found his middle arms baring a tray of various fruits and some bread, "Oh…"
dontlookdontlookdontlook His eye twitched, nonononononon-DAMN! She noticed his gaze and squeaked, "EEP! Are ALL you freaks perverts?" she shouted stomping back into her room and putting a shirt on.
"I am not a pervert!" He said, setting the tray down on the table, "But I'm not gay either. If you don't want people looking at 'em don't prance around in that…frilly under thing."
"First off all, I wasn't prancing." She snapped, poking him in the chest, "Secondly, its called a bra."
"Why do you have to be so difficult?"
"Why did you have to kidnap me?"
Kidomaru made a frustrated sound, throwing all his arms in the air, "Fine! Be like that! Maybe I just won't take such good care of you!"
"You call this taking good care of me? I thought you locked that door! What kind of guard are you?"
Kidomaru felt a muscle in his face go into spasms, "Now I understand why Zaku wanted to kill you…and I did lock the door, but Dosu has a key."
"Why would you give that creepy guy a key?" She asked, picking up an apple.
"I had too…this was a joint mission and he's my partner." His lowest right arm reached out, grabbing an orange, "I'm going to go over the rules, alright?"
"You're oddly nice for some one who works for Orochimaru." Sakura stated, eating at the apple she had chosen, "Why are you so nice to me?"
He glared slightly, though it wasn't a very threatening look, "I have my reasons…" He began to toss the orange from hand-to-hand, some times throwing it to the middle set of arms and back to the lowest set. Sakura took a mental note that his top arms seemed to always be ready and waiting.
"I'd love to hear about it, Kidomaru-san…"
This time the glare was frightening, "Don't try to weasel information out of me, Kunoichi…" he hissed, "I don't like it when people pretend to care."
Another note to tuck away for future reference. But before she could press the matter further there was a knock at the door, "Who is it?" she called out sweetly, much to Kidomaru's annoyance.
"Stop that!" He snapped, tuning to the door and opening it, "What do you want, Kin?"
"I was sent to get you." The girl said, peering over his shoulder. Sakura gave a small wave, making the dark haired girl raise an eyebrow, "Kabuto-san has some questions. I'll watch her while your out."
Kidomaru frowned at the girl before him, "Fine…but you better not do any thing to her. She's important to Orochimaru's plans." With that he walked out, shutting the two females in the room.
Insert awkward silence here…
"You kept your hair short." Kin said, breaking the silence. Sakura was sitting on her bed, facing the sound nin.
"Um…yeah. It really was a hassle back then and I only left it long because I had heard he liked long hair." She said, running her fingers through her cotton candy pink hair, "Not that there's anything wrong with long hair!" She added quickly, noting Kins long dark locks.
Kin continued to glare, "Dosu said you've gotten a lot stronger…that he saw you training all day."
"ew…you people have been spying on me?" Sakura squirmed uncomfortably. There had been rumors of Sound spies in Konoha but she never would have guessed she was the one being targeted.
Kin just continued to glare at her. Sakura fidgeted nervously under the other girls cold stare. She was sure Kin was plotting something awful, "Sakura…" the tension was thick as the pink haired girl waited, "…how is your hair still shinier than mine?"
Sakura fell off the bed, "That's it! That's why you've been glaring at me for the past twenty minuets!" Kin shrugged, "Ugh….what a bunch of weirdo's…I don't know why, maybe its my conditioner?"
Another small bout of silence. Kin slowly tilted her head to the side, looking almost curious, "Conditioner?"
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Kidomaru never returned, so Kin had to bring Sakura something to eat. They talked and joked, throwing in sharp barbs and insults, least they become friends (The horror…)
It was almost seven when another light knock was heard at the door. Sakura opened the door, "Yes? Can I help you?"
A rather creepy boy with blue hair and odd greenish lips stared back at her, "Orochi-sama will see you now."
"er…alright, thank you."
He turned around and it took all of Sakura Ninja training not to scream. On his back was another person, looking almost exactly like him. This one was smirking at her, apparently amused by the look of shock and slight horror.
"Ukon, stop that. You're scaring her."
"You're no fun, Sakon…"
Sakura kept a safe distance from the two the whole way.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sputtering candles flicked dancing shadows across the dark stone walls. Sakura stood silently, carfuly taking in her surroundings. It was a long room, rather like a wide hall. Behind her was the door, guarded by Sakon, Ukon, and a red haired girl she didn't know. Plush red carpets rolled out in front of her, ending at a large intragetly carved throne. Kabuto stood to the right of it, watching her and occasionally pushing his glasses up.
And then there was him. The creatures leering down at her, thin mouth curved into a sick mockiery of a smile. Sakura was suddenly very glad for all the time she had spent with Tsunade, perfecting her cold, diplomatic face. If not for her training she would have been cowering before the thing smirking down at her.
"I trust your stay so far has been plesent?" Sakura couldn't help the tinyest of flinches at his voive. It was smooth and cold, like silk slowly wrapping its way around your neck.
"What do you want, Orochimaur?" She asked, putting up her diplomatic mask again. It slipped slightly when the thin grin on his pale fance became a deranged smile.
"Revenge…"
Sakura blinked. That had not been the answer she thought it would be. She frowned slightly, "I will not betray Konoha."
The snake like man chuckled, a dark, twisted sound that made even his minions shift uncomfortably, "I am not curantly interested in my old town." He said, leaning back and causing one of his ussless arms to drop off to the side of the chair. It dangled there and he looked over, still grinning madly, "You see, I just wanted my dear old teammate to know what its like to have your heat ripped out and crushed."
"Tsunade-sama? I don't understand." She said simply. She cringed slightly as Orochimarus freakishly long tongue slid out, wrapped itself around his arm and set it back on the armrest.
As soon as the slippery appendage had returned to its home he began grining again, "You see, my dear old teammate tried to kill me under the impression of healing me. I don't like being tricked, espesicly by the only person I ever realy cared about besides myself."
The uncaring mask shattered as she blinked dumbly at him, "You…Tsunade-sama? But…I…"
He gave another twisted laugh, "We are through for now. I will see you again soon little blossom." His golden eyes seemed to bore right into her soul, "Tayuya…take our guest back to her room." Ther was a muttered, 'yes sir' from the red head as she grabed Sakuras arm and dragged her out. She looked back as the door was shutting, seeing Orochimaru looking calm, thoughtful, and something like hurt.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
And now for something that has nothing to do with the story…
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Gaara blinked down at the paper in his hands, brows knitted together in confusion. He had just finished reading the Alliance report from the Hokage, when he noticed a hastily scribbled note at the very bottom.
P.S. You remember my apprentice, Sakura, right? Pink hair, green eyes, mean temper. Well she thinks you're cute. Just wanted to let you know!
He set the paper down slowly, watching it as if expectiong it to suddenly blow up. It wasn't until his brother came wandering in that he looked up "Kankuro…" he said slowly.
"Hm?" the older boy replied, setting the stack of scrolls down.
"Do you think I'm…cute?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darkkinkachu: erm…cough….yeah this was not the best of chapters. Not a lot of Kidomaru and mostly set up….I hope you didn't mind that part at the end :P and I couldn't resist hinting at Orochimaru/Tsunade since I think that's a pretty cool pairing that isn't used a lot…I think I'm getting off the subject…
Sakon: you do that a lot
Ukon: yep
Darkkinkachu: GAAAAAAAAAAH! –hides behind NG-chans couch- the double freak twins are after me! Oh and by the way NG-chan I think you need to re-upload that last chapter of Puppeteers Cherry Blossom of the Sand. Either my computer isn't loading the whole thing or….well I don't know….but it cuts off about ¼ into the story and its driving me mad! And you don't like me when I'm mad….heh heh…don't forget to wish me a happy birthday in your review! n.n
