I woke up to the rising sun and the sound of chirping birds. With yawn I stretched my arms above my head hering a very satisfying crack.
"Mmh, that was a really weird time to remember how I made my friends" I muttered rubbing my eyes.
Once my muscles were finally fully stretched I got out of bed, grabbed my cloths for the day, took a shower, brushed my teeth, made my bed and went downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning" I greeted mom
"Good morning sweety" she replied with a smile, serving the food on the plates.
"Morning" said Dad, sipping on his coffee while reading the newspaper.
I was little down since Itachi was gone on a as I sat down next to mom, Sasuke came downstairs and sat down next to dad. With a quick thanks we broke our chopsticks and began eating.
We had our usual casual conversation of what had been happening at school, the news and any new missions that have come in at work.
Once we were done eating we did the dishes and grabbed our bags.
We went onto moms car as she drove us to school, while dad grabbed Shisui and went to work.
Our day was the usual, working with Iruka, weapons practice, lunch with the group, and then heading home. Usually we would be training, but Dad wasn't home and neither was Mom, so it was just Sasuke and me. This was kinda weird but we thought nothing of it, thinking that they had to stay late at work.
Since it was only 4 o'clock we did our homework, some simple exercises and started to make dinner of chicken alfredo over pasta and garlic bread on the side. Every night we usually do food from another county, and tonight was italian food.
All throughout dinner I could help but feel like we were being watched. I shared these concerns with Sasuke but he said that I was just being paranoid since they were the only ones in the finished with dinner we did the dishes and put them away. We made our lunch for tomorrow, then went upstairs to get ready for bed and took our showers. In our own rooms we turned off the lights and went to bed… but when we got home we never noticed the eyes watching our every move.
2 a.m.
I awoke with a start. I didn't know what exactly woke me, it was either the thunder and lightning storm raging outside or that it was that the house was unnaturally silent. I couldn't hear Sasuke's light snores or my parents returning. Then I heard it, the muffles sounds of a struggle. I quickly jumped out of bed, grabbed the short sword from under my pillow and silently ran Sasuke's room to help him with whatever was happening.
BANG!
I slammed open the door and attacked the closest person. It was a girl around my age, although older, with dark pink hair and a mean glare on her face and was wearing weird cloths exactly like the others.
Thinking quick I struck the back of the girls knee, cutting into the tendon causing her to collapse.
"That fucking hurt BITCH!" pinky screamed at me
"Tayuya, that language is unbefitting a young lady" said fatso
"Shut the fuck up Jirobo!" the newly dubbed Tayuya yelled at Jirobo
"You two stop fighting and take care of the girl" ordered two heads
They charged at me. I could tell that they didn't take me seriously and I used that to my advantage. I faked being slow and untrained. After finally having enough of playing around I subdued the two that attacked me, I attacked their tendons and nerves system to paralyze them.I still had to take down the two that had Sasuke.
I helplessly watched as two heads stuck a needle into Sasuke's neck. He immediately went slack… I thought that they killed my brother… I quickly attacked them both. They dropped him and jumped away, knowing how deadly I could be. I went after six arms first. Only to have a hard yellow gunk spat at me. I blocked with my sword only for it to shatter and metal to go everywhere.
"That was my favorite sword!" I yelled and attacked with the shard of metal that was left. Discreetly I picked up a shard of the metal on the floor. I was tired and I knew that they could tell. I quickly spun around and whipped it and two heads, he was able to dodge but I still managed to nic his arm. I smirked the poison would take immediate effect. He wobbled and fell to the ground coughing up blood and couldn't catch his breath. Pain shot thru my body. With a cry I fell to the ground. Four arms shot me in the led with his gunk, it went threw my leg shattering the bone. With a whimper I stupidly pulled it out causing blood to gush. He slammed his foot on m back to keep me down.
"Stay down brat" he hissed
'How pathetic can you get, being beat by these fools' I heard a voice hiss in my head
With one final attack I delivered a final bone crushing blow to four arms hearing a satisfying crack of three ribs making him shoot back and slam into two heads knocking him unconscious also. I slid to the ground thinking it was finally over, I was beyond tired. Well that was before I felt the sharp prick of a needle being thrusted into my neck. I was quickly losing consciousness. I turned around and saw a flash of silver and light reflecting off of glasses.
"Don't worry Luna, i'll take good care of you" a slightly familiar voice said stressing the word good
A voice that I haven't heard in three years…
-The Astral Plane-
My eyes snapped open… I was in the astral plane.
I gasped "Sasuke!" I yelled
I quickly scanned the area before I saw him appear in front of me.I quickly ran to him
"Sasuke" I said shaking him, trying to wake him up
"Let me sleep Luna" he groaned at me
I pounced on him "Thank god! You're ok!" I sobbed
His eyes snapped open when I started to cry
"Hey it's ok" he said trying to calm me down, rubbing my back
"Do you know what happened?" he questioned once I was finally calmed down. I nodded my head trying to rub my tears away and told him what I saw and what happened once he passed out. Once I finished he told me his side of the story, getting into a comfortable sitting position he began
"Ok so after we went our separate ways I took my shower and got changed for bed, and you know how I have a hard time falling asleep right away, right" at this I nodded "just as I was about to enter the realm of dreams I heard the sliding of a window open down the hall and the slight thump of feet hitting the floor, since it was so quiet in the house. I heard the feet getting closer to my room so I grabbed my kunai and prepared for a battle. My door opened and in walked these four people who looked startled that I was awake. So I asked them what they were doing here and they replied that "They were hear for the both of us cause Lord Orochimaru was interested in our P.K. abilities". Knowing that a fight was about to start I started throwing my weapons at them. Of course they dodge, so they had some sort of training. But I managed to nick the girl with the poisoned kunai, the one that you developed and was VERY fast acting and thinned the blood, which it did but it looked like it didn't affect her like it was supposed to" at this information I frowned seeing as there was no way that she could not of been affected, unless she had a high immunity to poisons, which it sounded like she did.
"Then that fat guy tackled me and pulled out a syringe with a purple liquid in it… he was having a hard time holding me down" I saw the pride in his eyes at this statement "so the guy with four arms came over to help… that's when you came in and the bastards were able to stick the needle in my neck, they overpowered me" at this I could tell that he was pissed at being taken down so easily. This caused me to snicker in return.
"It's not like you did any better than me" he said to me causing me to frown and return his glare releasing a slight growl at him. This continued for who knows how long, since we were both stubborn people. Finally I sighed looking away.
He smirked, my eye twitched
"I don't know how long that liquid will keep us knocked out for" I sighed "So lets astral project to create a map of where their taking us."
"Ok"
With that we both projected out of our bodies.
-outside our bodies-
No one's POV
They formed above their bodies to observer where they were going. They were in a black SUV with tinted windows so you couldn't see inside the car. The girl was putting gauze on her wounds so the blood would stop flowing, thank you blood thinning poison, and the other were already wrapped up.
"I still don't know why the fuck Orochimaru wants wants these brats so badly" Tayuya said with a sneer
"It's because he wants to experiment on them to see if their bodies will work and their P.K. power for a new body" Said Sakon
"Still some trouble for two little brats who probably aren't worth it, not to mention the amount of trouble it took us to locate them and break in was just a pain" said the fat man.
Four arms nodded his head in agreement. Luna took this chance to exit the van to create a mental map and see if she could find any landmarks for a later escape/rescue attempt. It seemed like they were unconscious for more than a day cause the sun was just setting. They were driving on a dirt road in the woods before they suddenly stopped. This caused Luna's eyebrow to twitch
'Great I won't be able to find any landmarks here'
The four exited the car before grabbing the limp bodies of both Sasuke and Luna. They quickly lept into the trees before taking off at a rapid pace, leaving the two to get jerked back towards their bodies at the sudden departure (An:They didn't know how to project more than six feet from their bodies...yet). The group traveled for hours in the trees before coming to the entrance of a underground tunnel. They went inside which was surprisingly lit by torches.
"That's so medieval times" muttered Luna
"Hn" was her only reply
The further in they got the more it looked occupied. It was awful, there was cells with disfigured humans in them, some looked like monsters all human qualities gone. Somewhere on the floor suffering in pain. There was dirt doors that lead to who knows where. The stench was horrible… blood and sickness could be smelt even in their spirit forms causing them to gag. Then they heard the most god awful sound… a blood curdling scream begging for their life before it went eerily silent. A door down the hall open, it was where they heard the scream, causing Luna to gasp and Sasuke to send a questioning look at her.
"That… that's my doctor from when I was in the hospital. Kabuto, doctor Kabuto Yakushi! What… what is he doing here?!" she questioned, wide eyed
"Kabuto..." Sasuke's eyes lit up in recognition before an awful snarl appeared on his face.
"THAT BASTARD! He's probably andaccuatence of Orochimaru!" by now he was furious, if him yelling wasn't enough of a clue.
"Wait… so that means, that in the hospital" she stopped
"He was looking for kids with P.K." he continued
"To experiment on, with Orochimaru" we concluded
"Shit! This is BAD! We need to get out of here!" Sasuke yelled
"I agree but, we can't do anything with us still out cold" said Luna
"Then we have to find a way to wake up" he concluded
All of a sudden the group split up. Sasuke going to the right and Luna to the left
"Sasuke/Luna!" we yelled at each other
"We need to find a way to get ahold of our parents" Luna yelled before they were to far way from each other.
She heard a door on the right slide close.
-With Luna-
'Shit! This isn't good!' I thought in a panic
My body was brought into a room. In that room was a smirking Kabuto.
"Everything went according to plan I assume?" he questioned pushing up his glasses causing the light to reflect off of them.
"Yes" said two heads
"You never fucking told us that those brats were trained" hissed Tayuya
"I thought that the four if you would have no problem handling two 8 year olds" Kabuto smirked
She glared at him and left the room two heads following after her.
He gave a smirk at my unconscious body that was strapped down to the table causing a shiver to rack my body.
"Oh no way in hell am I letting you anywhere near my body you PERVERT!" I hissed at him, I went to stop him only for him to pass right thru me. I helplessly watched as he injected a sickly green liquid into my neck. I felt the pull at my subconsciousness pulling me back into my actual body.
With a groan I opened my eyes to the bright light causing me to groan once more and squint.
"It's good to see that you're finally awake Luna" he said
"Stay away from me you sick pervert" I hissed at him
"Oh Lu you wound me" he mocked putting his hand over his heart
"Don't call me Lu like we're old friends! An apparently I didn't wound you enough cause you're still alive!" I growled at him
"Quite the sense of humor you have. In case you've forgotten I was your doctor."
"You're not a doctor! The only reason that you were there was to get helpless children that had P.K!" I shouted at him
All my shout did was cause him to smirk.
"I was right, smart and powerful P.K. I can't wait to see exactly how strong it is"
I gulped. He turned around and put gloves on
"Are you ready to play?" he questioned turning around getting closer with a pair of surgical scissors and a scalpel. I screamed.
It echoed throughout the the base causing Sasuke to wake up.
"Luna!" he screamed
Pain...that's all that I felt and the wetness of my throat. Blood...so much blood...more than I thought possible for the human body to make.
I don't know how long it's been...minutes...hours...days... time just seems to blend together… even losing consciousness couldn't save me from the pain or the injuries that I have gained.
Even the astral plane has changed during this time. All I saw was the blackness and a floor has appeared… a floor covered and made of blood. Giant pillars of stone, that 8 couldn't see the top of, looked like they were holding up the darkness that was my mind.
For however long we've been here I've been cut open, organs removed and destroyed, poisoned, stabbed in fatal spots, they would of killed me, and drugs that caused such horrible hallucinations that it mental scared and broke me. I had a hard time telling what was reality and what wasn't.
I woke up disoriented, I absently noted that I was in the operating room of a hospital. I started to relax thinking that I was safe, as if on cue the walls became dirtier, the light dulling out until I could barely see and blood writings appeared on the wall.
I made a move to get off of the metal table I was on only for chains to suddenly wrap around my wrists and ankles pinning me firmly to the table. It was then that I noticed that I was in a hospital gown
Footsteps made me tense up
The door went open, but I couldn't see who had entered even if I tried straining my neck
'Okay, be calm Luna. This is just a huillusintion, nothing that happens in here is real'
"Convincing yourself that this is only an illusion won't help Angel"
My eyes widened in shock hearing Shisui's voice
"It'll only make things worse trying to fight it" Itachi's voice sounded to her left
"You can't control anything that happens in here" Sasuke idly informed
Before I could respond I felt a sharp knife being dragged above my stomach "Time to operate on the pretty Angel!" Shisui's gleeful voice yelled in excitement
"Don't get too much blood on the floor, it'll be hard to remove the blood off of the floor when it drys" Sasuke said prying open my mouth to tear off my teeth one by one
"This entire time will be nothing but dissection and torture over and over" I could barely hear Itachi informing me before I blacked out
The First Ten Minutes...
'This isn't real. Nothing that happens here is real' I reminded myself before letting out a pained yell as Shisui's fingers played with my intestines, squeezing them tightly before letting go and repeating the process
At the same time Sasuke was tearing off my nails and pouring sake on my hands making the flesh and blood burn from the alcohol
Itachi was preparing to feed me different kinds of bugs and worms
Shisui stop playing with my intestines only to pull out a black centipede. He put it near my ear. It crawled in and started to eat away at the soft flesh of my inner ear
'THIS ISN'T REAL!' my mind whimpered
But I still screamed in terror feeling the thousand of legs crawling everywhere in my ear
Thirty Minutes Later...
'This...isn't...real...'
Shisui, Sasuke and Itachi gave me identical smirks as they continued pouring oil all over my body, they were trying to see how severe a burn could become and then they'd pour smashed ice over the burns to see how i'd react
Twenty Minutes Later...
"P-please...stop.." I begged as the three boys started peeling my skin off
'There's not point in it...they can't control their actions...they're not even real...this...'
'Genjutsu, this is how dangerous one can be...and the liquid that he injects into me isn't helping my mental state'
And then I screamed
Because they were pouring salt all over my skinless body
One Hour Later...
'This...is..n...I..is this really happening?'
'No, this isn't an illu...real, it isn't real...'
'Genjutsu...hallucinations'
'It feels so real...'
'...is this even an illusion...?'
'I can't tell anymore...'
'Is this r-real or n-not?'
'Please… someone… just get me out of my own head'
Thirty Hours Later...
"I'm a Uchiha, we must not show weakness at all... I can handle this" I repeated numbly to myself for the millionth time, my eyes were empty as I stared at the ceiling
"I'm a Uchiha, we must not show weakness at all... I can handle this"
"I'm a Uchiha, we must not show weakness at all...I can handle this"
"I'm a Uchiha, we must not show weakness at all-AHHH!" I yelled in pain as I felt my fingers being cut off of my hands by a serrated, dull knife
Twenty hours later
I've had enough
I couldn't stand the pain anymore, I just wanted it to stop. I could barely hang on to my little sanity, and I was sure I would snap at any second if this torture continued
"Kill me!" I begged aloud for the eleventh time tears streaming down my swollen and shredded face
"Why would we kill you Luna? The fun's not over yet"
"Hn"
"Your my dear little sister so,only the best of torture for you"
'Please...someone… help me…' was my last thought before the room faded away
Little did she know that far away two kids heard her plead.
'It wasn't real' I kept telling myself over and over again waking up in the same room with Kabuto just smirking at my dismay. I had a feeling that he was the one showing me those images.
Kabuto, the sick bastard was studying me, like some lad rat.
He wanted to see how my P.K. would react and how quickly my body would be able to heal and create the antidotes for the poisons and how long it would take for the organ to be fixed.
He was enjoying this, and for that I hated him even more. All through the experiments I felt the cold dead eyes of a predator watching him do this to me, the eyes the held so much glee that I was in pain.
What was even worse than this touched was that I could hear Sasuke screaming in pain, and I could do nothing to help him. With every scream I heard, I felt my heart crack and break even more.
I guess you could say that the only 'good' thing that came out of this is that I learned how to heal Sasuke from a distance.
Then...one day it changed. I was still in the operating room tied down, weak from dehydration and starvation, when the door opened and they dragged in Sasuke.
He was almost injured as bad as me, but me healing him helped a lot.
"You bastards! How dare you hurt him! If you lay a finger on him I'll rip you to pieces!" I snarled at them. For a quick moment my eyes burned, the room got colder and ice started to form around the room and on the restraints that were holding me down.
"Yes, it looks like seeing poor Sasuke in danger makes her P.K spike to dangerous levels" a low snake like voice hissed.
Both our bodies froze and started to tremble in fear. Out from the shadows walked a tall pale man with long black hair and yellow snake eyes with purple lines following his nose. He had such an intense gaze on us, he reminded me of a paedophile.
I don't know why but I'm terrified of him. His mirror presence screamed power. I saw Sasuke tense up.
"No… stay away from me!" he yelled
This startled me, in all of my years of knowing him I've never heard him sound so afraid… no it was more than afraid he was terrified, of someone before.
They put us near each other and I grabbed his hand, a habit that I developed when I was nervous. We were both terrified of what they were going to do with the both of us. Never before have we been together the entire time we were kidnapped. What I didn't know was that by grabbing his hand I made a huge mistake.
"Begin the electrocution" the paedophile hissed out.
With a loud CLICK electricity filled our veins. We screamed at the white hot fire that coursed through our bodies. I screamed but not in pain, no this was a scream of defiance. I somehow was able to send the electricity back at them towards the machine, the jumped away so they wasn't hit. In seconds I short circuited the board. The restraints froze and I broke them, escaping. I don't really know what happened after that, but I did notice that I felt powerfuller and my dances they were enhanced. I could hear better, see better and smell better. My eyes, they were burning but I ignored it. The last thing that I saw was Sasuke painting. His restraints freezing just like mine did. In the ice I saw that my eyes were a blood red.
Sasuke's POV
I don't know how long we've been in this underground hideout. I hate to admit it but I was scared… our parents always told us stories if the horrible, corrupt Sinnin, and hearing Luna screaming in pain just confirmed those stories.
I could feel her what they were doing to her. I know how weird that sounds but it was true. I don't know what they were doing to her but, it sounded a lot worse than what they were doing to me. All they really did to me was injected poisons in my body, which left me sick unable to move and near death. The worst that they kept doing to me was electrocution and beating me to a bloody pulp. But no matter how much they hurt me I was always healed in the morning. I quickly found out that it was Luna. No matter how much I begged her to heal herself, she always healed me first leaving her still injured.
For the first time in years I cried… I cried for Luna... I cried in pain... I cried for our misfortune... I cried for our family for how worried they must be for us.
They next day, I assumed it was the next day cause I fell into a restless sleep, I was dragged out of my cell by Kabuto
"Hello Sasuke" he greeted With a smirk
"Don't call me by name like we're some sort of friends" I sneered at him, his smile dropped
"You're just like your sister" he said
"Where's Luna!" I yelled at him
All he did was continue to smirk before grabbing my wrist and dragging me away. I was kicking and trying to resist the entire way, as much as I could in my current weak state, the entire time.
We came to a large metal door, it smelled of blood and sickness.
With a 'click' he opened the door
"Glad you could join us Sasuke"
"Don't you dare touch him!" I heard Luna yell
'Luna!' I thought
I was dragged into the room to see her glaring at a pale, paedophile looking man.
His eyes were watching me. I was trembling in fear of this man, a man who I've never met before, beside stories I was told. I felt like prey in his eyes. My eyes landed on Luna. She was covered in her own blood, pale and sickly looking. Scars… They were all over her body, that made me so pisses off. Before I could say or do anything I was pushed onto a metal table and strapped down.
I watched the man come closer to us, I was terrified.
"No...stay away from me!" I yelled at him. All he did was smirk.
I felt a small hand grab mine, I gave a small squeeze looking into her eyes, I saw fear something that I haven't seen since I first met her. But I sought comfort in her, since I haven't seen her since we were kidnapped, I was just happy to see that she was still alive.
"Begin the electrocution" the pedo hissed.
We tensed before we were electrocuted. Even though I was electrocuted since we got here, this time it was different, it was like getting hit by lightning non-stop. We were screaming. I felt something in Luna snap. She screamed but not in pain, this was a scream of defiance.
The electricity was abruptly cut off from by body. My eyes snapped over to hers… but they were not the icy blue that I've come to know, slitted blood red eye greeted me. They held such hatred and had a glaze look over them.
She attacked...
She wasn't using any strategic battle tactic that we were taught to use. It was like she was following her instincts, she was showing them no mercy an attacking them with deadly accuracy with the intent to kill. It was an unfair fight 2-1 and she was losing.
No matter how much or how hard she got hit she went right back at them and show of hesitation. I wanted to help her but I was too stunned… well that was before I watched as she got stabbed thru the heart by Kabuto's hand. She laughed up blood and went limp. Kabuto threw her limp body to the floor.
It was like this happened in slow motion.
Him piercing her heart… her thrown to the ground… her blood slowly dripping down his arm and blood slowly surrounding her.
The sick bastards were smirking at what he did!
This time I felt something in me SNAP!
My eyes… they were burning by I didn't care. The only thought on my mind was to save my sister No matter the cost.
I used strength that I didn't know I had, to break the ice covered metal restraints and speed that I shouldn't of had to rush over to them and slammed my first into his smirking face. He skited backs few feet whipping his bloody nose. He attacked me. Somehow I dodge all of his attacks towards me. But what really pissed me off is that the snake paedophile was just standing in the back with a sinister smile. That server to just piss me off even more.
"Kabuto… quit playing around"
"Yes lord Orochimaru"
He came back at me but MUCH quicker than before. Even though I saw the attacks coming I couldn't completely dodge them.
He hit me and I went down. My body wasn't listening to me. He was able to paralyze me. No matter what I tried to do all I was able to do was twitch.
"That should keep you still for a while" he muttered, before he tensed
"Lord Orochimaru!"
"Yes I know"
They quickly disappeared just as the metal doors slammed open. In San Itachi, Shisui, Mom, Dad and Shizune. All u could release was a gurgled sound.
"Sasuke!" Mom yelled running to me.
Itachi and Shisui quickly left going after Orochimaru and Kabuto.
Mom was sobbing.
"L-Luna" I managed to say, shifting my eyes in her direction.
She followed my eyes and gasped
"Luna!" she screamed running to her and Shizune, who was already starting to heal her, Dad right on mom's heels with me in her arms.
I watched in amazement as her hands were glowing a green and her injuries started to close up. Once Luna was out of the danger zone she unparalyzed me and we quickly left the hideout. Itachi and Shisui would meet us later so they could hopefully subdue the two criminals and find any useful documents before destroying the hideout.
While they were doing that Luna and I were rushed to the hospital with Mom and Shizune while Dad called off the search of the other officers, since we were found. We got to the hospital and were both rushed to the ER. I was quickly put into another room with a IV drip and food, while a nurse was wrapping up the small cuts and bruises that weren't healed.
But... Luna was another story, she was also dehydrated and starved but she have lots of physical damage done to her body, internal infections and internal bleeding, a collapsed lung and was in a five hour surgery for her heart to get repaired. We were in the hospital for four weeks before we were released. When Luna first woke up she immediately went into a panic attack and started to attack the nurses, until we came in and managed to calm her down so she would now that she wasn't hallucinating. This ordeal really changed her, she was dead and showed no emotions, and her eyes kept flashing between red and blue.
I was really the only one that she allowed near her for about a week before she started to relax around our we were fine to leave the hospital we went home, Luna and I not leaving each others sides. Three weeks after the hospital Luna was starting to return to normal, but her emotions were off set. I also figured out that our bond was even stronger. We now had telepathy between us. My eyes were burning when I was fighting Kabuto because I awaken my sharingan. So I was being trained in how to properly use it while our parents got a special trainer to help Luna.
