Cold As You
Chapter Six: You're Not Sorry.
Sasuke's eyes turned away from the door that Kabuto had just walked out of and then focused back on Sakura. His sharingan looking over her body. Inspecting it. Hoping that it was trick of the eyes. That she wasn't really pregnant. His eyes looked up to her face hearing a groan. Green met red. She blinked a few times trying to make her eyes focus.
"Sakura?" his voice brought her out of her slump. She clinched her eyes together before slowly opening them again.
"My head hurts…" she mumbled trying to sit up. Sasuke quickly moved to help her, his hand on her lower back.
"Let me get you some water." Sasuke said moving quickly to the sink. He grabbed a cup and filled it before bringing it back to her. She took it and sipped at it, knowing better than to chug it. She felt awful. Almost like her body was on the verge of shutting down. She'd never felt so tired in her life. "Sakura I need to talk to you," she glared hard.
"No! I need to talk to you." She hissed. "You need to stop this Sasuke. Whatever it is that's going on in your head. I could have loved you all my lives if you hadn't have left me on that bench. You could have stayed. But you choose this. You choose what we are. I'm sick of your secrets. And I'm sick of always being the last to know things!" she practically screamed at the boy. "And now you want me to listen? It's not working anymore Sasuke."
"I'm sorry—"
"But that's it! You're not! You're not sorry!" her green eyes clouded over with tears. "I figured you out Uchiha. You and your brother. This is it. I don't want to hurt anymore," she hugged herself bringing her legs up to her chest. She wrapped her arms around them. Sasuke clinched his fist before slamming them on the cold metal causing Sakura to jump.
She winced when his hands gripped her upper arms roughly. "You will listen to me." Sakura stared at him horrified. "I… We need to get out of her. As fast as possible." Sakura started at his questioningly. What had changed? Moments before she thought he was content with keeping her here. Making her his. What changed?
"What do you—"
"Find out a way to fix Orochimaru's arms." Sakura rolled her eyes. Like hell. There was no way she would do such a thing.
"Like hell—"
"Shut up and listen! I don't have much time. They're going to take you soon. When you get him in a sedative state. We'll kill him and we'll get out of here."
"Sasuke." Sasuke quickly jumped away from her. Looking to the door Kabuto stood there void of any emotions. "I thought I told you not to touch her."
"Whatever," Sasuke said, pushing past Kabuto as he made a way to the door. He stopped at the door way giving Sakura one finally look. She gulped. There was something in his eyes that told her that they needed to work together. She felt sick to her stomach. Looking up she watched as Kabuto moved to her.
"How are you feeling cherry blossom?" Kabuto asked, pulling out a chart and writing a few things down.
"What are you writing down?" she asked, green eyes wondered from his notebook and to his face. Something had changed with him? Moments ago he had been acting differently. And now? "What do you know." She demanded.
"I assure you I know nothing cherry blossom." He smiled as he pushed his glasses further up his nose. She glared at him. "Now, how are you feeling?"
"Fine."
Kabuto sighed before placing the notebook and his pen down. "Well than if you're fine you will see Orochimaru-sama now instead of later."
"I want a bath." She said quickly, before he could move any closer.
"Well than, let me go prepare some hot water for you." Sakura nodded before standing up and following his out of the medical room. "You seem troubled cherry blossom. Did Sasuke-kun do anything to you?"
"No, Sasuke didn't." Sakura said, she started at his black hair band that held his hair back as they walked down the corridor. She shivered from the cold that set in through the underground base. "Can we stop at my room to get clothes?" Kabuto nodded before turning down another corridor. Sakura followed until they reached the room that was marked for her. She started at the kanji that was on the door.
Blossom. Much different from the kanji she was used to back in the Akatsuki base. She pushed open the door. Moving in Kabuto followed her. She walked into her closest. Looking over the clothes she grabbed the warmest looking one along with its matching fur slip ons.
"Kabuto?" she asked walking out. He looked up at her with a raised eyebrow. "Did I miss Christmas?" it hadn't even accrued to her that it had been that long since she was gone. She had been taken during the fall season and now it was freezing. She couldn't have been gone that long.
"It's January 6th. So yes, you missed Christmas." He said before moving out of the room. She followed behind muttering an 'oh'.
She sighed in relief once the bath house door was shut behind her. She waited a few minutes knowing that Kabuto still needed to warm the water that was outside. All she wanted to do was sit back and relax for one moment. She let out a sigh and leaned against the wooden wall. She jumped when there was a pound on the door. "Water's ready." She heard the muffle voice of Kabuto. Walking over to the wooden well she pressed down a few times before the warm water made its way out and into the wooden bath.
She watched in contentment as steam rose from the water. She pumped it one last time before taking off her clothes and reached for a towel. She wrapped her long hair up before sinking into the warm water. She let out a sigh before sinking in further. That's when she froze. She sniffed the water a few times before sitting up quickly.
Kabuto had put some type of medical herbs in the water. She frowned slightly. "Damn him…" she growled before standing up, just as she did the door opened and shut. "Sasuke!" she yelled quickly trying to cover herself.
"Shut up," he snapped at her, she grabbed her other towel before wrapping it around her body.
"What are you doing here?" She half whispered half yelled.
"I need to know you're going to work with me?" his eyes pleading with him.
"Why? Why do you want me to work with you so badly? What changed?"
He let out a deep breath, "You're—"
"Sakura!" a loud knock stopped him from talking and he quickly jumped into the hot bath water causing Sakura to almost laugh out loud as the door swung open.
"Kabuto! Get the fuck out!" she screeched. Kabuto quickly shut the door before Sasuke stuck his head out of the water. Sakura turned back to look at him and giggled.
"Sakura you must hurry. Orochimaru-sama wishes to speak with you." She looked back down at Sasuke who gave her a questioning look.
"Give me a minute! I have to change you dirt pervert!" she yelled. Turning to look back as Sasuke she glared at him as he turned and looked away from her. She changed into her new clothes and let her hair back down. "Now what were you going to tell me?" she asked.
"I'll come and talk with you tonight. Go." He said. Sakura looked him up and down before nodding. She walked out of the bathroom to find Kabuto waiting for her.
"Come," he said. She nodded before following after him. They came to a stop at a small door. One that Sakura hadn't noticed before now.
"What are we—"he hushed her before knocking on the door. A muffle sound echoed through and the two entered.
Sakura's eyes widened. Inside the room held hundreds of glass bottles. Each containing something she could either tell what it was or was too disgusted to know. She froze when her eyes landed on a decayed hand that sat across the way from her. There it was. Her Akatsuki ring. The kanji or Sky started back at her.
"I'm glad you decided to join us…" she tense hearing his voice from behind her. How had she not noticed him? She gulped before turning slightly to meet his golden eyes. "Sakura-chan… I assume no one has told her yet?" he questioned his smile widening.
"Told me what?" she asked finding her courage.
"That you have no choice to heal me now," he licked his lips moving closer to her. She flinched when he stopped right in front of her.
"I told you just to kill me. I don't care." She said. She jumped slightly when his cold hand touched her stomach. She shivered was the cold spread through her body. She watched in horror as he bent down until he was eye level with her stomach.
"It seems we will be adding another Uchiha to our family…" he hissed in delight. Sakura watched as his hand gently rubbed her flat stomach. And then. It hit her.
"No." she backed away from him only earning a laugh. "No! You can't! You won't!" she took a few steps back until she back into the hard solid chest that was Orochimaru. She turned around horrified and tried to back away from him again only for his arms to reach forward and snake their way around her waist.
"I don't think you understand Sakura-chan. You don't have a choice." He whispered in her ear. She stared forward horrified. She looked to Kabuto for some type of comfort but found none. She was turned around until her back side was completely pressed against his front. She shivered as his hand brushed her hair to one side of her shoulder. "You," he kissed her bare neck causing her to clamp her eyes shut. "And your unborn child are now… mine…" She sobbed.
