A Prick from a Roses Thorn
"By the way, Sasuke-Kun… Did you know that she has nothing but leaves covering her body?" Kabuto fixed his glasses with a slight smirk on his face.
Sasuke took a long time to register what Kabuto said and turned a bit red from just NOW realizing it.
"I was too distracted from the shock of seeing her and tree roots trying to stab me in the heart that I didn't notice…" He told Kabuto half-sarcastically as the medic-nin chuckled at Sasuke's mishap.
"…I'll go get her some clothes, while you, Sasuke-kun, try to clean her up. You know how Orochimaru-sama does Not like his place all dirty, you should know that by now…" Kabuto turned around and walked towards the door that led him out so that he could buy some clothes in the marketplace.
"Oh and I almost forgot to tell you, Orochimaru-sama said that she may be of use to us. So when she wakes up, tell her about it." He finally left the room, leaving Sasuke with a lifeless corpse and a unconscious Sakura.
Sasuke brought in a medium size bowl of warm water, a bar of soap, and two small towels to clean the dirt off of her. He placed it on the table right beside of her. He then used a strip of cloth to tie his long sleeves up and placed his gloves on the table. Sasuke sighed as he took one of the towels and dipped it into the bowl and wrung it, applying the bar of soap to a slight lather. He leaned closer to her and slowly, gently wiped the dirt off of Sakura's left cheek.
"She looked like a wild beast when I saw her..." he mumbled to himself.
Sasuke remember how her eyes were fierce with the intent to kill anything that went in her way, Her nails were short but sharp, not like a normal human would have…. Well the Kiba's family was no exception. Even the tint of her hair slightly changed into a darker tint. But then he stopped what he doing. Sasuke was looking at her. She still had a creamy complexion. It was soft to the touch. It felt taboo just to touch her but yet he did. And for the longest time, he just stared at her. Sure he knew that it was the same Sakura the he was teamed up with during the time he stayed in Konoha. But something intrigued him that never did during his previous life. But before he could do anything, Sakura head butted him, moving Sasuke back a bit from the impact of the blow.
"Don't touch me, or I'll bite off those damn fingers of yours." She growled at him. She was like a feral cat stuck in the corner, trying to protect herself from harm.
"I was only cleaning the dirt off your face.." Sasuke rubbed his forehead as he grabbed a chair and sat down right in front of her. Sakura struggled to get her limbs free from the restraints that was placed on her while she was unconscious, only to get herself tired during the process.
"If you try to release yourself. Where would you go? You'll only go so far, only to get killed or be caught by Orochimaru's sound-nins." He looked at her as she looked around and grinned.
"Of it's a chance to be free from you, then so be it." She moved her right hand and stretched it out. Within one blink of an eye, three vines rushed at Sasuke only to be cut in half by his Kusanagi.
"Damn! I forgot that there was plants in this room." He dodged two more vines as it struck the ground, piercing the ground from the impact. Sakura chuckled as she maneuvered those plants to attack at her will, as well as maneuvered another plant to break her restraints.
"Almost there…" She whispered to herself. Two more restraints to go then she would be free. But before she was able to start on the last restraint free, someone came from behind and placed a collar on her. Instantly, all the vines ceased and fell to the ground. She tried to move the vines once more but failed miserably.
"What the hell did you do to me?!" She screamed at Sasuke, as she stood up and tried to kick him but her restraint only left her an inch away from his face.
"Lucky thing my trip was short Sasuke-kun, before you became a shish kabob." Kabuto placed a paper bag on the table and looked right in front of Sakura.
"Hello Sakura-chan. If your wondering why your abilities to manipulate plants stopped, it's because of that certain collar I placed on you. You see, it's a chakra draining tool that I made. Isn't it intriguing!." He smiled.
"Now Sasuke, I need you to place your Chakra into that collar so that you'll be able to control your friend here since I trust you with that kind of responsibility." Kabuto motioned him to go to Sakura.
As Sasuke moved towards Sakura, Kabuto held her down. He placed his hand on the collar and forced some of his chakra into it. It glowed into a deep blue color as it accepted Sasuke's chakra.
"Good…" Kabuto finally released Sakura as she looked at him with anger. She tried to punch him but Sasuke activated the collar, making her fall in pain. Her screams we loud, loud enough to be heard from the hallway. For a few seconds, Sasuke had activated the collar, to show her that he meant business.
"Now, Sakura, will you be a good girl and follow my orders?" Sasuke released the hold on her as she grasped the collar and slowly caught her breath.
"Go fuck yourself Sasuke!" She spat into his face. Upset, he then turned the collar on as she collapsed onto the floor, screaming once more.
"My my, doesn't my collar pack a punch to it… Not only does it drain your chakra, it sends a huge amount of electricity into your body. I'm such an inventor ne, Sakura-chan?" He chuckled as he squatted right in front of her and played with a strand of hair.
Sweat started to form on her face as he body couldn't handle the strain on her body. She started to wheeze for breath.
"Now, Sakura, will you follow my orders unless you want me to activate the collar again?" Sasuke looked down at her as she slowly nodded in response.
"Good, when you ready, clean yourself in the bathroom and wear the temporary clothing that Kabuto had bought you… I have a few questions to ask you afterwards." With that he threw a towel and the bag of clothes that Kabuto brought.
"The bathroom is to your left of the hallway. If you try to move any farther… I will know of it…" He left her.
"You know Sakura, Sasuke's being real nice to you." Kabuto sarcastically said to her as he followed Sasuke out of the room.
"Assholes…" With that she closed her eyes shut.
FLASHBACK
"Hey Sakura-chan, will you be joining me for Ramen today?" Naruto wiped the sweat from his forehead. They finally finished their training as the sun started to set.
"You know if you eat too much ramen, your going to have bad health for the rest of your life." Sakura opened her canteen and took a big gulp of water.
"Aww Sakura, that's not a nice thing to say. Anyways, I'll be leaving with Jiraiya soon to train. So please Sakura, will you join me and eat one last ramen before I leave?"
Slowly, Sakura opened her eyes and winced in pain from the previous infliction she went through not too long ago. She curled her fingers into a fist as she pushed herself up into a sitting position.
"Those two will pay for what they've done to me…" She rubbed the back of her head as she looked around the room. No windows, only candles were the only source of light there was in this cold damp room. Men these days, would only stay in this type of environment to give themselves some sort of "evilness" to their own personality. Sakura looked at her hands and arm. She was indeed filthy with dirt and grass stains all of her body. She pushed back her hair to feel twigs and leaves in it. She sighed in frustration.
"I guess I should clean myself up before I start feeling even more disgusted with myself…" She gathered up the towel and bag of clothing as she slowly stood up from where she sat and made her way to the bathroom. She turned on the light to see it freakishly clean. Knowing that average men wouldn't give a damn about a clean bathroom, but rather, a piss smelling with crap in the sink toilet tissue still in the piss filled toilet of a bathroom. She chuckled thinking that the clean freak must be Kabuto. "That fag…"
She looked at herself in the mirror. She stared at herself for the longest time. She leaned closer to it as she touched her own face. Her complexion changed and so did her hair color. Her pupils were cat-like, her iris' were a lighter shade of green, as if glowing. Even her hair turned into a much duller color as her skin was a bit paler than before. She had to get used to this new change on her, but in all she did like it in some strange way.
She plucked the twigs and leaves from out of her hair and threw it into the sink. She then looked at the leaved on her breast and bottom and released her chakra on them as they fell on the floor as they withered and turned brown for the lack of energy. She then turned on the shower and washed most of the dirt off of her body. She then looked at the bath filled with green tea leaves and smirked.
"They didn't say I had a time limit for my shower…"
FLASHBACK
"Well Sakura-chan, I'll be heading off now." Naruto gave her a sad smiled as he waved her goodbye. Tears came running down Sakura's face as she ran up to him to give one last hug. It was hard for her to see her only teammate to leave her. It was hard enough that Sasuke had left them to join Orochimaru to seek power. That was a big blow to both Naruto and Sakura's heart. But it was best for Naruto to leave in order to gain the strength needed in order to bring their beloved friend back.
"You better write to me before I kick you ass." Sakura wept. She tried to wipe the tears off of her face but only to be bombarded with more tears.
"I will try my best Sakura-chan, I will try my best." Naruto gave her a big hug and kissed her on the forehead ever so gently. This made her cry even more than before as Naruto released her and followed Jiraiya towards the gates. Never in her life did she see Naruto show much maturity until that day he left to train.
It has been an hour since she soaked inside the bathtub and her limbs felt ever so relaxed. She stood up from the bathtub and grabbed the towel to dry herself off. She then wrapped the towel around herself as she looked inside the bag to see what Kabuto got her. It was nothing more of a gray sweat pants and black tank, nothing fancy in any shirt. She would have to find some way to convince them to let her pick her own clothes, if they would let her that is.
"What? no bra, pathetic…" She growled as she put the temporary clothes on her and slightly dried off her hair. Once she got out of the bathroom, Sasuke was already back in the room, taking a slight nap on a chair. She grinned as she stealthily walked towards and kicked him in the chest, thus making him fall in a thud. Sasuke woke up instantly with the throbbing pain in the back of his head.
"Goes to show that an asshole can't even sense someone when he's sleeping." She rolled her eyes.
"Silence…." With that he activated the collar, making Sakura clench her neck and scream in pain.
"Do that kind of childish thing again, and I'll make it more worse." He gave her a warning as he stopped the collar. She coughed and looked at him with hatred in her eyes. She hated being pushed around. But if she wanted to live another day, then she had to follow his orders.
"Now, if you done coughing, follow me to my room, as you remembered, I need to ask a few questions from you." With that, the Uchiha turned around and went into the hallway as Sakura followed.
They passed several doors and made so many turns that Sakura couldn't keep up. How big was Orochimaru's hide out anyway? It felt like it could be passed as an Ant's home with all those turns and rooms. She felt like she needed to punch a wall or something to keep herself from growing any more impatient. But before she could do that, Sasuke stopped abruptly, making her bump into him. He never made any sound, except when he turned the door knob into his room and stepped aside. He looked at her as if motioning her to enter first, only to have her roll her eyes and walked in. Once both of them were inside, Sasuke closed his door. It made Sakura feel a bit awkward for the moment.
"Now Sakura, you can sit on the chair, at my dinning table." He went to pitcher and poured a glass of water for himself. He then sat at the end of the table, opposite to where Sakura was located. She looked around to see that his room was huge and lavished stuff that she dreamt of having when she was young.
"So Sakura… Why were you near Otogakure…" He wasn't kidding about asking her questions. She looked at him for a while and leaned back onto the chair as she placed her foot onto the table.
"I was on a B rank mission to go to a village and assist them with a problem. I was doing fine when I was going there until Orochimaru Sound-nin caught me off guard and killed me. But then I woke up in this new body of mine." She combed her damp hair back.
"And why were you alone?" He crossed his arms.
"Naruto left to train and Kakashi-sensei was out on a mission. No team to go with, I go alone… It's been like that since Naruto left." She was getting impatient with his questionings already. Why did she have to tell him stuff, he's not important anymore, he's a blasted traitor for Kame's sake. But when she waited for him to say something, he didn't. She probably guessed that he was thinking about something.
"Do you know why there's a corpse of you when I saw you?" That question had been in his mind ever since he saw two of her.
"Don't know, don't care. As if I'm that fucken smart…" She changed her feet position on the table.
"I see… Maybe Kabuto could check the corpse for some clues. Orochimaru was curious as well as the rest of us on how you could be here, alive and in the flesh, while another with the same feature is on a morgue table. Speaking of Orochimaru… He wants to know if you would like to join him for dinner to see if you would like to join Otogakure." He looked at her and waited for his response.
"And what if I refuse?"
"If not, then he would dispose of you due to the fact that you've seen us…"
"Well see…" She mumbled. Sakura didn't see that she had no say on this. If she refused then she'll die. She would have to wait for dinner with the Snake in order to find out what type of conditions he wants from her in order to be "useful." The though of dinner also made her tummy grumble.
Kigen: Wow.. Made this longer than the other two. Cuz I didn't notice how short the first and second chapters were. So what do you think of this chapter? And what do you think Orochimaru will ask of Sakura. Stay tuned yea?
