Sachetmay: Okay, here is chapter 2
Kiersa: Woo ..
Josalynnrose: Yay!
Tacome sat with her legs up to her chin in a corner of her cell. She was trying to disappear into the wall. Although there were no windows, she could tell it was morning, and morning meant that it was here first day as Orochimaru's slave.
I can do this. I'll just have to put up with this until I think of a plan, She thought, determined to tough it out.
As she began to stretch, she heard footsteps and the jingling of keys. Then, out of the dark appeared Sasuke.
"It's time to start, slave," He said coldly.
"I have a name you know. And I'm NOT a slave," She replied, standing up and crossing her arms.
When Sasuke continued to stay silent, she said "My name is Tacome. And shall I call you master number 2?"
"Hn," Was his reply.
"I'll take that as a 'yes.' And of course Psycho Freak is just 'Master' and the guy with glasses is 'Master number 3.' Or would you prefer 'Snake Eyes' 'Hn man' and 'Nerd?'"
"You shouldn't be so cocky," He said as he pulled on her arm, leading her away from the cell.
"You shouldn't say 'hn' all the time and be all secretive. You shouldn't keep everything bottled up inside all the time, or else you'll explode and die," She said dramatically, as he doubtfully looked at her, "Okay, I was kidding about the dying part, but you will explode. Verbally, I mean."
There is something strange about her. She just seems…different. I wonder if she is training to become a ninja, Sasuke thought.
Soon they reached a room that was furnished with a stove, cabinets, and a refrigerator. (A/N: I think they have refrigerators, because Naruto had that expired milk once)
"A kitchen?" Tacome questioned.
"Hn. Your first daily assignment is to cook three meals a day. You can cook for yourself. And don't say that you don't know how, because we know that you can. Orochimaru has been watching you for a while."
"You mean stalking me. Do you know how rude that is? He has no respect for any-" Sasuke cut her off.
"You better get started on breakfast. And don't even think about trying to escape."
"But, um, you see, I got amnesia from when you knocked me out so, I, uh, forget any domestic skills. Yeah," She tried to say as convincingly as possible.
"You are bad at lying," Sasuke said as he walked away.
Tacome sighed and went to see what was in the fridge.
After an hour, she finished cooking breakfast, which consisted of steamed rice, miso (soy bean paste) soup, and grilled fish. She had eaten some herself, and everything was ready to be eaten but…
Okay, now what? If I leave the kitchen they might think that I'm trying to run away, but I need to tell Chicken Butt that the food is done. But if I wait for him for who knows how long, the food will get cold.
"Sasuke? Hello? The food is done so you can come eat. Sasuke! Sasuke, I left the stove on and it started a fire and I'm about to die!" She shouted, but he didn't come.
"Stupid Chicken Butt," She said to herself.
"What did you just call me?" An irritated voice from behind her asked.
She spun around to face Sasuke, "Oh, nothing. Moving on to a bigger matter, where were you when I was about to die in a fire?"
"Hn."
"Hn to you too. Anyways, I'm done now, so…?" She said questioningly.
"Now you can follow me and bring the food to Orochimaru and Kabuto," He said.
She grabbed the tray of food and followed him out the door.
"I'm not your slave, you know. I'm only doing this because I don't want to die. Just think of me as your maid who doesn't get paid," Tacome told him.
Silence.
She rolled her eyes in frustration at his silence as she entered the lair of Orochimaru. Once again he was sitting in his throne-chair, but Kabuto was somewhere else. Sasuke pointed to a table next to the chair and Tacome placed the tray on it, avoiding any contact with the snake man.
"Put her away for a while," He said coolly to Sasuke, who nodded.
Once again, he brought her back to her cell and locked the door.
"Wait," Tacome said, as he began to walk away, "How long do you plan to keep me here?"
"Well, soon enough you will figure out our location, and if we ever let you go, you would lead the ANBU right to us. We don't want that, do we?" He smiled sinisterly.
"So, basically you mean…forever?"
He disappeared into the darkness.
Perfect, now I have time to think about my escape plan. It should be during the night when hopefully everyone is asleep. But I bet that Orochisnake doesn't sleep. And I bet that they have guards everywhere. But first things first, I need to get the keys. Maybe there's something in the kitchen that I could sneak. This is going to be difficult, She thought hopelessly, No! I won't give up! But how in the world am I going to do this? Right now I think it would be best to not be so cocky and get people to trust me a bit. If that's even possible...
She sat, planning and sketching out ideas until Sasuke returned. This time he led her to a completely empty room except a broom, a dust pan, a bucket full of water, and a sponge.
"I think you can guess what you will be doing now," He said.
She nodded, and went to grab the broom.
Something about her still gets me. Maybe it's just that she has a really strong Chakra flow, Sasuke thought, studying her closely as she began to sweep.
"What?" She asked, bringing him back from his thoughts.
"Hmm?" He asked.
"You were staring at me."
"Hn," He said, then walked away.
What a weirdo, She thought.
"Orochimaru, have you noticed that strange feeling that you get around her?" Sasuke questioned.
"You noticed it too? Well, I should expect nothing less from you, Sasuke," He said.
"What do you think it is?"
"I don't know, but maybe you could figure it out," Orochimaru's mouth twisted into a smile.
Sasuke glared at him, "I'm training, I don't have the time to figure out every detail about a servant girl."
Orochimaru could tell that he was curious.
"Done!" Tacome shouted with victory, "Master number 2, I'm done!"
This time, he was there as soon as she called.
"Now you can make lunch," He told her.
"I've heard somewhere that men eat a lot," She said.
"Hn."
"Is 'hn' all you ever say?" Tacome asked.
"Hn," He said, just to annoy her.
"Yeah? Really? You're going to let me go," She said with a fake surprised face.
"Hn."
"And then you'll get me that kitty that I've always wanted?"
"Hn."
"And then monkeys will take over the world?"
"Hn."
"And then you'll marry Orochimaru and have three, lovely kids?"
"Hn- Wait, what?" He glared at her as she smiled innocently.
"So you agreed to that last one?" She asked, trying not to laugh.
"I suggest that you be quiet," He said, still glaring.
"You still haven't said that you wouldn't."
"Just make lunch," He said as he walked out of the kitchen.
"You still haven't said that you wouldn't!" She called after him.
He looked back, his onyx eyes glazed with furry, "Fine, no, I won't marry Orochimaru and have three, beautiful kids."
"It was three lovely kids!"
He silently smiled to himself and walked away.
Josalynnrose: Yay! Better than the first one!
Kiersa: Yay! Its over.
Sachetmay: I didn't think that it was that bad. I'm going to have to make the rest tons more interesting.
Kiersa: I agree.
Josalynnrose: Be sure to get chapter 3 up soon!
Sachetmay: Okay, I will. Thanks everyone, bye bye .
