Chapter 2: Servitude

Yūko's eyes shot open. She sat up quickly only to wince at the sudden pain on her neck. She reached the back of her neck and tensed a bit from the pressure she applied. Ignoring the pain, she looked around the room she was in. The room was dimly lit by candlelight and there were no windows to be found in any part of the room. There was a desk in corner of the room and a nightstand by her bed. In another part of the room there was a dresser with a mirror over it. She heard the door open.

"Oh so you're awake now?"

Yūko turned her attention toward the door. Her eyes widened with pure shock. Standing at the door with his arms crossed was Yakushi Kabuto.

"You" Yūko sneered. He held up his hands in defeat.

"Now's not the time for any of that Yūko-san" he pushed up his glasses "Orochimaru-sama wishes to see you"

"Hmph! Why the hell should I go to that snake freak? You can't make me!" she shouted and threw a pillow at him. He dodged and muttered 'spoiled brat'.

"Either you go on your on will or I use force. It's your choice" Kabuto smirked. She balled her fists until they were white but reluctantly got of bed. She stepped onto the cold tiled floor and walked out the door. Yūko re-adjusted her dark purple kimono and yellow obi before walking out the door. He smirked and closed the door behind them. 'Kami-sama! I seriously want to beat the shit out of that guy! Hn stupid smirk, just like that other guy'

"Hey Kabuto-san"

"Hai?" 'Man she's really bipolar'

"Who brought me here?"

"The Sound four brought you half way before they ran into some trouble"

"Then who brought me the other half?"

His smirked turned into a grin. "Sasuke-kun did. It was a cute scene if I might add"

She frowned at the thought of Sasuke holding her. Yūko really likes her space, let's leave it at that.

After a turning a few corning and walking some long ass hallways, Kabuto stopped at another wooden door. He knocked on it and said, "Orochimaru-sama she's here"

Yūko looked at him as beckoned her to go inside. She almost puked when she went inside! There was a thick smell of rotting flesh in the air. Walking further she spotted someone on the bed. Then she realized where the smell was coming from.

"Come inside Yūko, I won't bite you" Orochimaru chuckled. But she wrinkled her nose in disgust at the man before her. "Now now, don't be shy" he coaxed. She trudged over to him making sure she was out of arms reach.

"Kukuku my Yūko, how you've grown!" he said giving a creepy smile. She glared at him with distaste.

"Yūko-san! I advise you to stop making such a face in front of Orochimaru-sama!"

"It's perfectly fine Kabuto. She gets special treatment"

"Ah of course forgive me"

"My… I do see some of me in you…" he looked at her up and down "… but you have your mother's eyes"

"I've been told so why did you bring me here?" Yūko said bluntly. He chuckled again.

"I have a special task for you my child"

The way he stressed the last part sent chills up Yūko's spine. Her purple eyes bore into his amber ones. The door swung open with Sasuke standing there with an annoyed expression.

"Sasuke-kun it's rude not to knock before entering!" Kabuto adjusted his glasses.

"Hn when are you going to train me?"

"Calm down Sasuke-kun. We will have time for that in the future."

Yūko averted her attention back to her father.

"I'll get straight to the point. Yūko, you will be in charge of Sasuke-kun"

"I can take care of myself" Sasuke crossed his arms and leaned on the doorframe. Orochimaru snickered.

"Sasuke-kun as long as you're here, she will be so I advise you to get used to her. Kabuto"

"Hai Orochimaru-sama" Kabuto ushered the two teenagers out of his master's room. He shut the wooden door and turned to the two, pushing up his glasses. He reached into his pocket and handed Yūko a piece of paper.

"That has all you need to know about the hideout Yūko-san. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some things to attend to"


-In Sasuke's room—

Sasuke sat on his bed staring at Yūko who was analyzing and memorizing everything on the paper. It basically had the whole hideout mapped out for her. From the restricted sections to underground training grounds. It was obvious that the experiments were in the restricted sections of the hideout. 'It looks like I'm going to be here for a while' she thought. Yūko looked up from the paper to Sasuke. His elbows rested on his knees with his fingers intertwined.

'He must be thinking about his brother' she crumbled the paper and tossed it in the nearby trash can. Yūko was basically his personal servant. Any girl would do anything for the young Uchiha but Yūko could care less about him. She already has someone else on her mind. And she'll never forget him. Ever.

"Oi"

Yūko came out from her thoughts when she realized that she was staring at Sasuke for quite a while now.

"Hai Uchiha-sama?"

He tensed a bit. "help me with my bandages"

"Hai Uchiha-sama. Please excuse me" she got up from the edge of the bed when her hand was caught. She looked down to the hand that was connected to Sasuke's arm.

"Just call me Sasuke" he said without looking at her.

"Hai"

He let go of her hand and began to stare it as soon as Yūko left the room. Yūko's hand was abnormally cold. 'It's like she never changed' he thought. Sasuke lay down on his bed and closed his eyes. He started to think about the first time he met Yūko.


-flashback!—

6 year old Sasuke sat on in the living room resting his head on the table. His parents were out and Itachi was supposed to watch him when he came home. Sasuke blew some of his bangs out of his eyes. He heard the front door open and shut.

"Sasuke? I'm home!"

Sasuke ran to the door to hug his older brother. He looked up at him with hopeful eyes.

"Welcome back Nii-san!" he smiled at him. Sasuke noticed someone clutching to Itachi. He saw a pair of light purple eyes but immediately hid behind Itachi again.

"Ah don't be shy. He's my little brother, Sasuke. Why don't you say hi?"

A young Yūko came out from behind Itachi, still holding onto his shirt. She waved and muttered a hello.

"H-hello" he looked back at his brother, "Nii-san who is she?"

He smiled, "This is Mogami Yūko. I met her a while ago and since you two are the same age, I thought that you two should have a play date."

"But I want you to train me Nii-san!" Sasuke complained. He pouted and crossed his arms. Itachi sighed and took Sasuke into the living room.

"Stay here Yūko-chan, I'll be right back"

She nodded and clutched to the sleeve of her purple kimono.

Itachi nudged Sasuke into the living room and bent down to his eyelevel.

"Sasuke please play with her for today"

"But why?"

He looked back at Yūko who was still fiddling with her sleeve.

"Because I know she's lonely. Yūko just needs someone other than me to be around"

"Hmph! Girls are always weird around me"

"Come on Sasuke! Just this once and besides… I know that you thought she was cute" he smirked at his little brother's blushing face. He huffed at his brother (true) comment.

"I do not!"

"Then why don't you play with her?"

"Fine I will!"

He ran back to the front door and grabbed Yūko's hand.

"Come on Yūko-chan let's play!" Sasuke said while blushing

Yūko giggled as she followed Sasuke to his room. 'Is this what it means to have a friend?' Yūko thought.

-end flashback—

"-suke"

He twitched. "SASUKE!"

Sasuke opened his eyes and sat up.

"I brought the some medical supplies now please give me your arm"

"Hn"

Yūko crawled onto his bed and gently took his arm. He winced from the pain and coldness from her hands. 'Yup still cold like always'

"Sasuke?"

"What?"

"What were you dreaming about?"

"W-why do you want to know?"

"Because you were blushing and uh smiling a bit"

"Ah j-just help me with my bandages!" he looked away with a hint of pink on his cheeks.

"Hai"
