Chapter 2

She came around by the horses' hooves. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that she was leaning on a man's broad chest. As she stirred from sleep, she tried to make out her surrounding. She slowly eased her self to a new position to get a better view, as she did so; her body immediately twinged from pain and soreness.

She tilted her head and saw the face of the very man whose chest she leaned upon, this is the very man who brought horror upon her. At this she was shattered with revulsion and terror. It was not just a nightmare after all. Everything that happened earlier was real. Her village was looted, plundered and raped. She has nowhere to go. The everyday life that she was used to was now over. Her innocence was brutally taken by this man. She is at present now constrained by a man she barely knew and had never done anything against him yet exacted her to a harrowing ordeal. Hereafter, she will be subjected to the vindictive whims and demands of this vicious and pitiless man.

If fate was merciful towards her, she would have had granted an easy and painless death.

But life was never really fair to her. Hers was just a series of pain and sorrow. Even now, even if she longed for death, fate still denies her inclination. At the thought of dying, she somehow came to the realization that it is not right for her to long for it. Hence, she silently scolded herself.

To wish for death is not right. I have to be strong; I have to learn to stand for myself. I still need to accomplish something. And for this very reason, I have to persevere no matter what trials await for me even if I have to be subjected to the spawn of the devil himself. After I achieve what I must do, then death will be welcomed.

Sasuke new the moment his captive has awaken, the moment she found out that what happened recently was not just a figment of her dreams but a reality, and the moment she realized that the one she has taken comfort in her short slumber was he, her captor the very person who just awhile back tormented and shamed her.

"Your awake. That is good. We will be arriving shortly at my family's land. It will take a few hours ride to get to my manor," he informed her.

"Let me remind you this, my people are loyal to my family. They will never betray anyone in my family. They do what we told them to do. They follow our orders with absolute obedience. And if by any chance you will try to escape from me, you will certainly not like it. Just the mere fact of you escaping is tremendously impossible. But if you do try, rest assured that I would find you. And once I do so, you will not like it. Heed my words now."

He said this words without any emotion at all. Yet, as luck would have it, his dispassionate speech sends chills to the very core of her being.

Too afraid to speak she simply bowed her head signifying her utter defeat.

Hope is all lost. That is what she would like to tell herself. But no, she has to persist. At that consideration, she touched her necklace, seeking strength from it.

I must be strong. I will have to hold on. I have a promise to fulfill. He is waiting for me. Someday, we will be together and everything will be better.

Too weary of the ghastly events that took place, sleep once again claimed her. And once again she leaned on her captor's chest, her enemy. But for now, she will have to do with what she has even if that is to take comfort from him.

He saw the look of absolute defeat oh her features after he threatened her. Yet it faded in an instant. Her eyes, although was filled with loneliness, had shown a glint of resolution. And he realized that she held the necklace on her neck with certain reverence as if everything depends on it. He is certainly intrigued with this girl. And who wouldn't be?

As she succumbed to sleep, Sasuke could not help but look at her. He noticed that her pink hair is silky, glossy and soft to touch. She also smelled wonderful. Just being with her, one can definitely be entranced by her fragrance. Her milky skin is soft as a rose's petal.

Although her frame is petite, he discerned that she is well built. She is slim and her bone structure is molded at the right places. In fact, she has a luscious body that any man would crave for.

Looking at her lovely face, she is unquestionably the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Her face is well-sculpted, high cheekbones, narrow nose, and full lips. But the most striking feature of her face is her eyes. Her emerald hue eyes convey a lot that he could not decipher. It is startling to begin with, and even he has to admit that if he continued to gazing at her eyes than necessary, he might drown on it.

Despite the astounding beauty of this woman, he suspected that there is more to her than just her startling appearance. Having just witnessed her silent determination, he is now fascinated to uncover the mystery that lies within her. And he would certainly discover what is beneath her striking body and soon he will be able to discern how her mind fathoms.

To start with he need to know what name she goes by. That is the first thing that he will have to uncover. And he will know who she is, her history and everything that pertains to her. Yes, he will know everything about her, but for now he will just have to let her be. She definitely needs sleep for the tribulation that awaits her. After all, she is just nothing but a mere tool for his revenge, it is a pity though, one so enthralling belonged to the enemy. But not anymore, she is his. And she will be subjected to a gruesome life just for the reason of her connection to the land that took his wife.

Too focused on his thoughts, he did not immediately notice that his elder brother had nudged his horse towards him.

"Too captivated by your captive, little brother? I see you have not been paying attention to my words," Itachi commented dryly.

"I am not," Sasuke, contradicted his brother immediately.

"Very well then, suit yourself. However, I believe that this little captive of yours looked familiar to me."

"What do you mean familiar?" Sasuke asked while his right brow inch slightly signifying his curiosity.

"I am not sure myself. If I remember something I will inform you immediately."

At his brother's word, he was left feeling frustrated. He thought that somehow, his curiosity toward this sleeping girl beside him would somehow be slaked.

"Sasuke, what are you going to do now? You had rid of that land," Itachi instantly shifted the topic.

"My revenge is not yet done. There is still hell to pay," This he said with a firm resolve.

"Are you thinking of hurting that girl again. I hold no obligation towards her but what you will be doing will be too shallow for your own good. She is nothing but just an insignificant inhabitant of that land you loath. If I were you, I will kill her now after all you already had your fill of her."

"That land was just a piece of that kingdom. I will continue to destroy it until that very kingdom cease to exist."

"Are you talking about an all out war Sasuke? That is highly impractical. You have to consider this carefully."

"I have already thought about this. When my wife was brutally killed, I knew that I must avenge her. She was everything that is important to me. And just as they took her from me, I will also take everything from them. I will not stop, not now when I already know the man who killed her."

"Then kill this man, but taking a country, that is too much not too mention dangerous."

"Is that the reason why you and your men followed me on my invasion? Just so you should know I am perfectly fine and I can take good care of myself. You don't have to worry about me."

"I don't doubt your ability, little brother but I am worried though that with your current state of mind, you might be threading on a dangerous territory that might spark war with horrifying consequences. Think about it, you can have this man, we will find him and you can do whatever you want with him. But war, Sasuke that is absolutely out of the question. He might be a part of this kingdom but he is just as dispensable as any commoner. You will be perceived then as an unreasonable conqueror both by our people and the kingdom that you wish to subjugate. There is no just cause in your undertaking."

"My cause is just. This man that I seek, the man who killed my wife is an extremely significant person in the Earth Kingdom," snarled Sasuke.

"Just how important is he?" Itachi questioned him with the forebearance of a challenge.

"He is a prince, one of the contenders to the throne," Sasuke stated with too much loathing in his voice.

As he said those words, a long silence was suspended in the air between the two brothers. Sasuke too angry that one can almost hear the gnashing of his teeth and Itachi, astounded by the information he was just given by his brother.

"I see. If he is a member of the royal family, what he did was definitely an insult to us. What exactly is this pathetic excuse of a prince of theirs is scheming? What was his goal in killing your wife? Or does he wants an outbreak of war?" Itachi finally said.

"That is what I am still trying to find out. The spies that I sent has not yet send additional information. But I have a doubt that he doesn't want war. There is a conspiracy here and I need to figure it out. I need to know what my wife has to do with it, why she has to be sacrificed."

"If what you said is true, then you have now a legitimate reason to destroy their kingdom."

"I know. This is the reason why I purposely head out without the apparent consent of our father. However, I must thread carefully now. I must pause on my actions for the time being. I must prepare the iron first and strike when it is hot. Too hot for them to be able to realize the danger they are in."

"I see. Then your pillage of that village was just a warning, I take it."

"Yes, it is my response to him. A message that I know who he is and that I will wreak a greater danger to him. That soon, he will be a dead meat. Death is an easy punishment for him. He has to go through the most painful death. And it will be me, who will unleash the scythe that will bring him to the other world."

They laid camp on the outskirts of Fire Kingdom, their country.

Throughout the long journey, his captive was very docile. She was sleeping throughout the entire trip. And when they settled for camping, she was far too exhausted to have even notice that they had already taken a break from their journey. She was far too deep in dreamland.

He lifted her from his horse, and once again he is astounded by her loveliness. He laid her on a piece of blanket on the grassy meadow. The outer layer of the kimono that he let her wear had risen from her knees. This displayed her thighs, which Sasuke noticed was not only creamy and silky but was also long despite her petite form.

Like a jolt of electricity, he is over ridden with lust and decided to take her then and there. It was a good thing that he laid his camp a little far from his men, where he can have some privacy.

He reached out for his captive and pulled the kimono down from her body. He pushed the sleeves off of her shoulder, dragging it down and splitting the kimono open, leaving her breast open.

Sakura noticed that somebody is disturbing her, and thus she woke up and there she behold her living nightmare once again.

Before she could have a grasp of what is taking place, her captor cupped the back of her head and pulled her toward his face and kissed her hard. She noticed that he was atop her and that he was forcing her to open her mouth for him.

She was trying her best not to comply with his demands but he was far too strong for her. His kiss was bruising her lips, that she was left with no choice but to part her lips.

Her hand was trying to push him away from her but once again it is a futile endeavor for her. Pushing his chest from her is like pushing a brick wall.

No matter how hard she twisted away from him, she could not do so as she was pinned beneath him.

Sasuke notice her struggle against his invasion. Amazingly, her quiet whimpers aroused him more than he already is.

He leaned towards her and deepened his brutal kiss and at the same time he wrapped his arm around her waist to bring her closer to him, which pressed her breasts against his chest. As his kiss continues, he felt tears falling from her eyes that trickle down to her checks.

He thereby slightly put a gap between their faces. He looked at her with onyx eyes clouded with desire and he smirked at her.

"I will have you now and you can do nothing about it my flower. You have two choices, you can just do as I tell you and remain quiet as I take you or create a noise now and my men will hear of our escapade and once again they will see you stark naked, either way I will bed you this very minute."

Hearing the cruel options presented to her by this vicious man, Sakura just limped and dropped her eyelids knowing that she can do nothing. She knew that Sasuke will rape her again but if he will do it with the semblance of privacy for her, then that is the least of the evil options he gave her. So she would just have to take the former option.

When he saw her crestfallen look, he smiled and sneered at her. "That's my girl. It will bode you well if you do what I say."

Then he put his mouth on her ear and whispered mockingly. "Don't worry. This time it will not hurt as much as the first time."
