Orichimaru and Sakura - My Hollow Soul

written by smile-ookii
Oh, wow. That last one was seriously intense. Went with the title, a little. What was known as "Team 7" has temporarily joined forces with Orichimaru to fight off the nin who have begun to randomly attack them. Naruto is unconscious from Orichimaru's Chi no genjutsu attack, and is being carried by Sasuke, who has placed a bit of trust into Orichimaru. Sakura was injured slightly with a kunai in the thigh, and was being carried by Orichimaru, who also wrapped her wound with cloth from his own kimono. As they run from the nin, will Sakura and Orichimaru use this as a chance to escape? Or will they stay put? Does this attack have any connection to Kohi? Seems like the same setting...hm. Let's see just how deep love can go...

Chapter Five - Laughter

Sakura pulled her glance from Orichimaru, and slid her eyes over to Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto was now awake, but weakened. He was doing what she and Orichimaru had been; using one for movement and the other for attacking. It's working really well with those two, Sakura thought, and caught a nin in the chest with another kunai. "Orichimaru, can you tell how many of them there are?" She saw his pupils widen for a second, then return to normal size.

"About 600."

"Shit. Sasuke, Naruto, did you hear that?" She saw them nod, and everyone's face grew grim. They began to run faster, throwing plenty of shuriken. But what usually stopped nin wasn't stopping these guys. "Hey, what's up with these guys?!" Sakura was getting tired, and her nerves were pencil-thin. Orichimaru glanced over at her for a second, then turned his attention to Sasuke and Naruto.

"Can either one of you...smell it?" Sakura's face grew puzzled as both her friends nodded.

"I saw it, up close," Naruto said quietly. "It was my friend...my lover, Kohi. His eyes...oh my g'd, his eyes!" Naruto began to spasm in Sasuke's arm, sweat building on his forehead.

"His eyes! His eyes! HIS EYES! THERE WEREN'T ANY! THEY WERE'NT FUCKING THERE!" Naruto screamed. Sasuke tried to use chakra to calm him down, but it seemed as though the other's body was refusing to be comforted. "THE BLOOD WAS FUCKING DRIPPING FROM HIS EYES! LIKE SOMEONE ATE THEM, THEY ATE HIS BEAUTIFUL EYES OH MY --" Sasuke crashed his hand heavily into Naruto's face, nearly dropping him and losing his balance. Naruto's lips bled, and Sasuke shook his head. He turned his attention, but not his eyes (seeing where you were going was very important now; no one was giving any more glances at each other) to Orichimaru.

"When'd you notice?"

Orichimaru paused in answering, throwing a nin who was near his side into the ground. "As soon as they came. The stench is so strong to my senses, it's like I'm suffocating. Sakura," he said, feeling the immense confusion from her direction, "they're dead. All of them, dead. Apparently Naruto got to see up close, and hopefully we never will." Sakura didn't reply, but her attacks became more forceful and precise.

Naruto...I'm sorry you had to see Kohi like that. I really am. Who but us is left to love you as much as he did...? Tears fell from Sakura's eyes, blurring the field in front of her to a waterscape painting. Wait...a field?

"Is that open space up there?" Her voice quivered, and Orichimaru wondered if it was from seeing the clearing or from Naruto's panic attack.

Nodding, he followed Sasuke in a leap, landing deep in the high grass. "Oh, this just gets better for them, doesn't it? Now we can't see them, and we can barely hear them, but they seem to be able to track us like dogs." Orichimaru stood regally, head lifted to the sky. "At least it's a beautiful day..." Sasuke propped Naruto's body gently on the ground, then turned to Orichimaru, a frown darkening his face.

"Plan?" Orichimaru slid his eyes over to the frowning man, and Sakura thought that he looked so handsome...He's one man who doesn't need emotion to look good...he just does. And if Sasuke wasn't here, I'd enjoy having my way with...

Sakura gasped aloud, and a blush flooded her cheeks. Sasuke and Orichimaru began to turn in her direction, and the blush deepened as she tried to hide it. Dropping her head so her hair partially covered her face, she turned her back to them, coughing. Sakura grew even more embarassed as she felt them bore holes into her back. Are they laughing...at my obviously fake cough...? It's not like I can tell them what I was thinking about.

'Oi, Sasuke! You know, I was just thinking about Orichimaru's body. Yes, it does look delicious, doesn't it? Well, that's all I wanted to tell you. Oh! Did I mention I have a HUGE crush on him?'

Sakura began to cough a little bit louder, trying to cover up the sound of her thoughts. It eventually worked, but only because her wound started aching. It began to bleed, and Sakura only stared at the blood, stupidly. I couldn't ask Orichimaru to rip his beautiful kimono again...shit, I'm a aho! Sakura glanced down at her ANBU outfit, considered trying to rip it, and gave up.

"Too...tight!"

"Oh, but I rather like them like that...it really gives your body the most flattering figure." Sakura blushed again, and felt Orichimaru's grin against her lips. She tried to stutter a denial as a another ripping sound was heard, but she fell silent as his cold cheek pressed against her own. "Mmm...I'd like to do more, but with Sasuke here..." This time Sakura blushed so deeply that her hair blended in nicely with her face.

"Not...that I was thinking that...at all..." She shook, ready to cry, as Orichimaru walked around to face her. He took one look, grinned (quite naughtily, might I say), and plopped down on the ground, pulling Sakura down with him. She fell softly, with a small "oomph!," and shook even harder as she was dragged halfway over Orichimaru's body. They were now in a position of...well, they were in a rather obvious position, and Sakura wanted to close her eyes...forever.

But then...she'd miss out...on this. She hadn't been this close to him since she had hit her head in his room, and she had rather missed the coldness. So she sat there silently as he rewrapped her bandage, taking his time. He let his hair fall into his face (and g'd knew how she loved him to do that), and made sure that Sakura could feel every...single...touch that his fingers made on her translucent skin.

Orichimaru glanced upwards at Sakura and saw her staring at him. His hands shook for a second or two; and then they were steady, and massaging Sakura's swollen thigh. She let out a soft moan. Orichimaru's eyes shot over to Sasuke, making sure he hadn't heard; but he was busy attending to Naruto, who seemed to be hallucinating now. Slowly dragging Sakura closer to him, he let his hand steal higher, and higher up her thigh until she jerked forward, eyes wide open but clouded with desire. "Orichi...what are you doing...aah..." She bit her lips, hard, so she wouldn't cry out; if Sasuke saw, their plan was ruined. But it was so hard...Orichmaru's cold hand had snaked up her leg, passing up her throbing area, but teasing her all the same.

His fingers made small patterns on her stomach, rising up like smoke tendrils in their intricate designs. They finally reached her breasts, which immediately perked up and fell into his palm. Grinning that seductive smile of his, he pinched her there, hard, and watched her face take on an agonized look. "Nani...what are you doing to me...we're in danger..." She gave a small squeak as Orichimaru groped her other breast, fondling it gently.

"No..you're the one in danger, itoshii. And would you really like me to explain what I'm doing to you?" She tried to shake her head negatively, but before she knew it, she had been pulled to her feet. "Sasuke-kun. We're going to go patrol the area. I'll keep her safe, alright?" He got a distracted jerk from Sasuke, who was watching Naruto thrash about in his sleep. Giving Sakura another smile, Orichimaru took her by the hand and pulled her into the grass, blocking them from Sasuke's view. He walked for ten minutes, but not in silence; Sakura and himself talked about many things on the way.

"Sakura...why did you say I smell of flowers?"

"I did? When?"

"After you bumped your head...you said I smelled of flowers. And then you woke up, obviously happy to be in my bed, surrounded by my limber body...I am very limber, Sakura..."

"Orichi! That...uh...what are you saying?!"

"Oh, we've already picked out a nickname for me, then? Don't worry, I like it," he said to her crestfallen, blushing face. "But I did bring you out here for a reason..."

"I don't want to talk about that!"

"Usually, there isn't any talk, unless moans and name screaming count for you..."

Orichimaru smirked at the sudden, shocked silence that came from behind him, and turned around, a strange look on his face. "Sakura..." She looked up at him, laughter burning deep in her soul. "Close your eyes, okay?" She nodded, and with that small notion, placed an enormous trust package into Orichimaru's hands. Leading her tenderly by the hands, he walked backwards into another clearing, but larger than what they had been in earlier. "Open.." Orichimaru stepped back from Sakura as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Oh my...Orichi, it's beautiful!" She leapt into his arms, giggling, as small petals of a sakura tree floated down on them, laying to rest in his blonde hair. He wrapped his arms around Sakura, laughing softly.

"I just thought...well...you laugh so...pretty?" As Sakura cocked her head to the side, a small grin breaking through, Orichimaru did something that had never...ever...happened to him before.

He turned a nice, pretty pink.

But I did laugh a lot.

aho - fool
nani - what

itoshii - darling
