A/N: Hey guys. I hope you all like this chappie. Well there isn't really much to say… Hmm. okay here it is:

Sakura was drug into Orochimaru's room by Kabuto. Her hands were tied behind her back and Kabuto threw here onto the floor none to gently. Of course this did not please Sakura.

"What do you want snake teme?" Sakura hissed pulling herself up.

"I will offer you the choice once more. Work for me or die." Orochimaru stated.

"Have you lost your mind? I am not working for a bastard like you." Sakura spat.

"Fine now you will be forced to work for me." Orochimaru said.

"Yeah I'd like to see you try. I already told you that I don't love Sasuke and I am an ANBU. No form of torture will work on me." Sakura said proudly.

"Is that so? What would happen if I were to torture to little girls. I believe you know them: Akina and Kohano." Orochimaru smiled but frowned when he noticed no emotion was shown on the kunoichi's face.

"What are you talking about snake teme?" Sakura asked concealing the rising worry.

"Fine I will force you to admit that you have two daughters." Orochimaru said. He preformed hand seals and then looked into Sakura's emotionless emerald eyes.

Sakura didn't even stay conscious long enough to hear what the jutsu was called. She was thrown into an entire different world. She was in her bedroom the girls were laying on the floor in front of her. They were…dead. Itachi stood over their dead bodies smirking. Sakura screamed and then realized that it wasn't Itachi. It was…Sasuke. Sakura awoke from the jutsu to look at a pleased Orochimaru.

"Now why would you be scared if those weren't your children?" Orochimaru asked smiling twistedly.

"Fine. I'll work for you. But if you lay a finger on either of them I swear to Kami Sama I will kill you with my bare hands." Sakura hissed.

"Take her to her new bedroom. Then I want you to bring Sasuke to her. Don't tell him what happened though." Orochimaru instructed Kabuto. Kabuto nodded. He undid Sakura's bonds and led her to her room.

It was later that evening that Sasuke came into her room.

"Sasuke…I have to tell you something." Sakura said looking at Sasuke with a pained look.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked emotionlessly.

"Well I accepted his offer…" Sakura started but found it hard to finish.

Sasuke looked at her confused. "What else?" He asked.

"I was…He…Kabuto…He found out about the girls. He forced me to admit that they were mine." Sakura cried out. Sasuke looked at her anger evident in his now crimson eyes.

"What? How did he find out?" Sasuke practical screamed.

"I was thinking about them after you left. I mumbled their names under my breath and someone must have heard." Sakura mumbled shamefully.

"How could you be so stupid? I can't believe you." Sasuke yelled at her. After seeing her guilty expression he decided to switch targets. "I bet it was Kabuto who heard. I'm going to kill him." Sasuke hissed turning for the door. A small hand reached out and grabbed his wrist. He turned around to glare at the kunoichi.

"You can't. You have to gain their trust Baka." Sakura whispered. The look on her face told him the rest. If he killed Kabuto then no one would trust him and he would have wasted his time. He had to wait until it came time to leave the sound. Then he would kill that snake teme and the silver haired four eyes.

For now Sasuke sat on the bed next to her. He let himself calm down a little before he spoke again.

"How did he get you to admit it?" Sasuke asked avoiding her jade gaze.

"He used that jutsu he used on us back in the forest of death. I saw them dead on the floor…" Sakura trailed off she didn't want to tell him the rest.

"What else?" He asked nonchalantly.

"Nothing." She lied. He knew she lied.

"You're lying." He accused her as if it were the simplest statement in the world. She looked at him with defiant eyes.

It's not like he goes around telling us his life story. Why should we have to tell him anything?

Flashback.

Why won't you tell me anything?" Sakura asked.

"Why do I have to tell you anything?" Sasuke barked back.

Flashback ends

"Why do I have to tell you anything?" Sakura spat.

Sasuke looked surprised and then let his emotionless mask cover it up as he processed the words she had said. The same words he had said when he left her.

"Sakura…you're annoying." He said before taking his leave. He didn't miss the surprise that crossed the kunoichi's face, however.

After all of this, you're still annoying.Those words rang in Sakura's head.

After all of this…am I still annoying?

No! I am not annoying. I am strong and smart. I am not the weak little girl I used to be. I refused to be saved by someone else. I will get out of here. I will kill Orochimaru before Sasuke even has the chance.

The girls…

Sakura balled up her fist and smashed it into a wall. She had her chakra back now, but she didn't use it. She didn't want to break the wall or else it might cause the ceiling to fall on her. So with the lack of chakra in her fist all that the contact caused was a crack in the solid stone and blood falling down her hand.

Sasuke's Room

Sasuke took his shirt off and sat on the edge of his bed.

She's so different. Does she still…care?

I wouldn't blame her if she didn't.

When I kill Itachi what am I going to do if she doesn't care?

You're thinking two far ahead. Remember she is spending the next four years with us. I bet that once she gets to know us again she will care.

Whatever.

Sasuke hoped under his covers and closed his eyes. No doubt he was doing the closest thing to sleeping he ever did. He would never let himself fall completely asleep in Orochimaru's lair. He didn't trust anyone here.

Sakura woke the next morning to Sasuke entering her room with food. He put a tray on her bed.

"Eat." It wasn't a question but a demand. Sakura avoided his gaze and ate. Even if she didn't want to do as he said it would be foolish to starve.

Once she had finished she just sat there on the bed looking just beyond the Uchiha towering over her.

"You told me that if I trusted you, you would trust me." He said. She nodded.

"I want to talk to you. I want you to ask me any question you want and in return you will answer any question I want." He wasn't even asking her. It was like she was being forced to give and gain this man's trust.

She wouldn't have disagreed, however, even if it was a question. She liked the idea of being able to trust the Uchiha.

"If someone else, a complete stranger, killed your clan where would you be right now?" Sakura asked.

This surprised Sasuke. He wasn't ready for that question. He had to think about this before he answered.

"I wouldn't have needed to become so strong if it wasn't my brother. I would still be in Konoha." Sasuke answered looking for a reaction. He didn't get one.

"If I wouldn't have left would you be this strong?" Sasuke asked.

"Thank you Sasuke." Sakura said. Sasuke looked surprised.

"I would never have become this strong if you wouldn't have left. I thought about that question many times over the past years and I have to say that you are indeed the source of my power. Sometimes I started to agree with what you said: that loneliness makes people stronger. But then I realized something." Sakura paused and caught the quizzical look on Sasuke's face.

"I didn't hate you. As much as I wanted to I could not hate you. I was positive that if someone told me you were dead I wouldn't cry but I wasn't fooling anyone. I still loved you. It wasn't the loneliness that made me strong it was the love that made me hold on and pulled me through all the rough times." Sasuke thought about this.

Is she right? If she is right that would mean that…

"You know I believe that it's your love for your parents that makes you so strong, not the hate for your brother." Sasuke's expression changed to that of anger.

"Don't speak of things you know nothing about." Sasuke glared at her. She simply kept looking straight ahead. She hadn't flinched or jumped. She just kept an emotionless face and shrugged.

"How many times did you think of me?" Sakura asked.

"None." Sasuke spat still mad from earlier. This was true. He had forgotten about this burden a long time ago. The only time he thought about her was when Orochimaru told him he had to retrieve her. Of course the memories and pain came back and hit him hard. Really hard. But he would never tell her that.

"You aren't lying are you? I should have known. You are an Uchiha. You are capable of not only masking but also killing all of your emotions and memories fade with time." Sakura said finally letting an emotion escape: disapproval.

Sasuke didn't know how to feel about what she had just said. Should he be proud of those capabilities? No. Was she insulting him? No. She was just stating the truth.

"If the girls weren't born when I came back and asked you to come with me would you?" Sasuke asked.

"No." Sakura stated simply. Sasuke was surprised.

"I thought you just said you loved me?" Sasuke said almost sarcastically.

"To love someone and to care for them are two different things. I love you against my will. It is a fact. I can, however, refuse to care for you. I have a choice between heart and mind. My heart might ache for you but my mind knows better. I chose my mind." Sakura explained.

Sasuke frowned. He got up and walked out. He walked out into the training grounds. No one was there. Why would someone be there? It was his private training grounds.

She can't just ignore her heart like that. She needs me. She wants me. Why wont she just chose me.

Why should she? You don't choose her? Actually she is better off then you. She at least admits she loves you. You won't even do that.

Sasuke fired up his Chidori and began to attack the helpless trees.

I will talk to her about it tonight. He decided.

A/N: Do you guys want them to kiss or get in an argument or end up as friends…for now. I would never just leave them as friends of course. Well anyway randr. ;p
