Disclaimer: I do not own anything relating to Naruto except a Sasuke plushie that I BOUGHT WITH THE MONEY I EARNED! But with the main series and stuff? Forget about it.

Authors note: I have decided to post this before the next chapter of my other story because it seems this one is vastly more popular than the other. Though I suppose the tentacle thing has something to do with it. And the ItachiNaru thing will be coming up right after this. So read, enjoy and review afterwards.

Sasuke's first sight when he stepped into the demonic realm was a large stone gate. It was two large pillars with all sorts of symbols carved into it and large warriors on the side. They seemed more like scaley boulders with armor. Orochimaru stepped out of the portal and bowed to them, hitting Sasuke on the head so he would do the same.

"I come bearing a gift to Lord Itachi from the Snake demons, a new servant for the festivities." The two things nodded, more like shaking their whole bodies just to get their flat-heads to move. The two guests quickly walked by, Sasuke staring up at Orochimaru. "They are the Soraria, useful in the affect they are immune to magic, and fairly strong. But thick headed, the biggest thing they worry about is where their next meal is coming from. We're here."

Sasuke looked up and went absolutely wide-eyed. The castle seemed like something out of a fantasy book. It was extremely tall, with towers and banners and all that, in front was gardens and streams and all sorts of things from all corners of the globe.

Orochimaru quickly pulled Sasuke and after ten minuets of walking they got around to the back and he quickly rapped on the door. "This is where we must part." Then the door opened and a boy, roughly Sasuke's age leaned against the door. "Another servant for the festival."

"All right, he Bound?" The boy said, cocking his head to the side a little.

"Of course." Orochimaru quickly pushed Sasuke forward a bit and leaned down next to his ear. "Do whatever the demon's tell you, don't leave the castle and be sure to get Naruto before the wedding!"

The boy pulled Sasuke inside, but the raven turned around and glared at him. "What wedding?!" he nearly yelled, but the door shut behind him.

"My name is Shikamaru, I'm the head servant. There is a big party celebrating the Lord and his Mate, funny it's been three months and now they are having a festival? Bunch of pompous wierdos."

Sasuke froze, Shikamaru stopping with him. "Th...three months?"

"Yeah, the blonde bombshell has been here for three or four months. Ever since then Itachi has been alot kinder to us and even the higher ups like me get paid a little. Why?" The head servant said, looking suspiciously at him.

"No, it's nothing. Now, what would I have to do?" Luckily Sasuke was a great liar, or else the other boy might have started to get even more suspicious.

"The festival is starting right now, let's get you settled in and then we'll get you to work." He pulled him into another room with other people inside it. "This is the newest member of out family." Shikamaru said, sarcasm dripping from his voice. "What was your name again?"

"Sasuke."

"Well, the fatso is Choji, the guy with wierd eyes is Neji and the girl is Sakura. There are others in our section but they're busy. So you'll get the bed to the left and please, if you snore or anything I garuntee Choji will kick your ass." Shikamaru said, turning and waking away. "We start working in ten minutes, so get acquainted and let's get to work." Then he disappeared around the corner.

"Hi." Sakura said, sitting on the floor by the door.

"Hi..." Sasuke said, quickly sitting down on the bed. It was more like a few blankets thrown on the ground. but it was better than nothing.

"So, what'd you do?" Choji said, biting into an apple.

"Huh?"

"You had to have made a deal to be here. Mine was that I wouldn't drown, still hate water." Choji said, still eating.

"I...i was trying to find someone." Sasuke said, not telling a complete lie.

"Really? Who?" Sakura said, moving forward and sitting right next to Sasuke, getting uncomfortably close.

"My friend, he is lost and I'm still trying to find him."

"Aw, I'm sorry." Sakura said, smiling at him. "I hope you find him someday."

"Yeah..." Sasuke said, zoning out. So Naruto had been here three months? How, how could this have happened. Maybe timed moved differently or something. But now he knew he had to save Naruto, no matter what!
