A/N: Well hi there! :) Sorry that this update has taken a little longer than the others, i've been trying to put as much detail as possible into it...Dunno if it's paid off though lol

Thanks for all the reviews I've been getting! They make my day :D So this was originally gonna be the last chapter, but I decided against it and decided to put this up because well, you need something to read and I had writers block. Haha so anywayz..... Enjoy what will probably be the second last chapter :)

Chapter 15!

(Kakashis' POV)

As Sai pushed the door open I nearly got sick. The smell of blood had overwhelmed my senses and I flinched.

"What...What the fuck is this guy doing here?!", I whispered harshly. Sai frowned and continued inside, closing the door behind us. And so we were plummeted into darkness. A shiver ran up my spine as I heard crying and then a splatter. Silence.

"We should stay to the walls", I could hear Sai whisper form beside me. I couldn't see. This panicked me.

"S-Sai where are you...?", I whispered into the darkness.

"Kakashi", somebody breathed in my ear. I jolted to the left letting out a squeak. I could hear footsteps around me and then a warm hand slid into my own. I went to pull away when the hand tightened.

"Kakashi it's me", the voice muttered. It was rough, but I recognised it and relaxed. My eyes narrowed even though he couldn't see me.

"Don't fucking do that Kyuubi", I hissed, but I was secretly happy. I felt safer. I heard a short laugh.

"You love it", he muttered. I felt heat rise to my cheeks when he began to pull me along. The hallways were so windy, I didn't know how Sai knew his way around. Then I realised something.

We had just entered enemy territory with the enemy...And now we were following said enemy to what could be our death. I squeezed Kyuubis' hand.

"Hm?", he mumbled lowly. There was a scream literally beside me making me jump into Kyuubi. The man laughed huskily.

"God Kakashi....You're just so jumpy", he snickered. I glared through the dark at him.

"Kyuubi", I took a risk and leaned forward so that we were still walking, but my lips were near his ear. The man jumped back slightly. I rolled my eyes. "You realise that we could be getting led into a trap", I breathed. There was a grunt of response and next thing I knew I was being swerved around. And then there was silence. I yelped slightly as a hand grasped my arm.

"Kakashi", I relaxed again.

"What the fuck Kyuubi?", I hissed. The man put his hand over my mouth. I could faintly hear the footsteps of who I was suspecting was Sai, getting quieter and quieter as they got further away. I was confused.

"You were right", he muttered. "We should probably try and find Sasuke by ourselves". I nodded in agreement. Once again the younger man took my hand and we began to walk. It wasn't until a while later that we saw the light. The sort of glow of lamps in the distance. I looked up at Kyuubis face...well Narutos....His now red eyes were narrowed slightly and he was frowning.

"There are people carrying those torches....We may have to steal them", he muttered lowly. I raised an eyebrow.

"Well they're hardly just gonna let us stea-", he gave me a look. "Oh".

Well I wasn't originally a very violent person, but okay then. I felt the sudden tug as Kyuubi pulled my body towards his. He backed us both into the wall and told me to stop breathing so loudly. I snorted. I now coud hear the mumbled talking and the echoed footsteps as they came in our direction. Kyuubi let go of me.

"Stay still, quiet and whatever you do, do not try stop what happens", he whispered. I bit my lip an shut my eyes. I didn't want to see what would happen. As the light got brighter, the steps and talking gradually got louder.

"You think he's dead yet?", one guy said and my stomach flipped. The secon guy laughed.

"The Uchiha brat?", he mumbled and i bit my lip harder. The man nodded.

"Yeah, Oro-sama had even brought him to his 'royal chambers' poor kid". Both of the guys laughed. My brow creased as I kept myself from getting sick.

"I don't know", the man said unsurely. "From what I could hear, he was putting up with it pretty well...He wasn't screaming until Orochimaru was really angry". The man shrugged and they got even closer. It was then that Kyuubi lashed out at the two men. His hand swung, fisting and then hitting the first man in the face. The man had grunted and stubled back while the second guy had ran at Kyuubi. Said blonde man had tripped him up and smirked as he fell to the ground. When I saw the first guy trying to sneak up behind him I squeaked out his name. Kyuubi had swerved around and kicked him in the gut. The man grunted, falling to the ground coughing up blood and cursing, I flinched. I could hear the two guys breathing raggedly but they made no attempt to move.

"Here", Kyuubi muttered handing me a torch. I took it carefully noticing specks of blood along the hande. I shook off the disgusted feeling and gripped the handle tightly, catching up with Kyuubi who had already started walking. Now that I was able to see, I wish that I couldn't. The walls were cement and were covered in what looked to be fungus with the occasional blood splatter. I could see how Narutos' back was tensed.

"What's wrong?", I whispered. There was a snort.

"You mean apart from the fact that we could very easily die here?", he muttered in question. I frowned at my feet. The silence grew between us and I could feel the growing worry within me....What if I died here? What If I never saw Iruka again...?

These were the thoughts that probably ran through everyones heads when the were going to die...The thoughts about loved ones and about where you would end up in the 'afterlife'. Life would grow painfully slow, as if whatever being that was 'looking over us' was giving us time to think. Think about life itself and about what we did during our time here...If we were good as people or if we were going to hell.

As I took the steps towards what could very well be my death, I didn't think of that....I thought of time....

I know that was strange, but that was what I was thinking of all that time. Time was free...But It was priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it, you can't keep it but you can spend it, Once you've lost it....You can never get it back.....Sasukes' clock was ticking, it was running out for him...and if we didn't use this time now....he wouldn't have any time left.

(Sais' POV)

I knew they had left my side and to be honest, I was happy they had.

"Where are they?!", the dark haired man before me hissed. I winced. The room smelled like blood and perfume for some reason.

"They must have gotten away while we were getting through the halls. It was dark and they must have slipped away-". Smack. I spit some of the blood from my mouth and raised my hand to cradle my abused cheek. "Im sorry Orochimaru-sama". I dropped my head in a fake apology.

"Just get out of my sight and don't you dare come back until you've killed them!", he yelled and turned to walk back to the bed. That was when I saw him.

Sasukes hair fell over his face. It was matted with blood and sweat and I could see the dark bruises forming on his jaw and eyes. My stomach turned as I saw the tear streaks and the weird angle his body was lying in. I felt tears gather in my eyes, but relief washed over me as I saw his chest rise, slowly but surely. I let out the breath I didnt know I'd been holding and turned to leave. I was stopped when a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist. I was pulled around to face the older man, staring at me with his snake like golden eyes.

"You know", he whispered with a smirk. "You look alot like my Sasuke-kun". I shivered as he loosened his grip on my wrist. "Now go Sai and find Naruto and this Kakashi man....and then kill them". I heard a sharp intake of breath from behind the man and my eyes darted to where Sasuke was lying. I could see the tears running down his face. I had to leave before I lost control of my emotions.

"Ah...", Orochimaru said and a cruel look graced his features. "Look's like my little Sasuke is ready for another round". I could hear the pained crys and begging from the room as I ran. Then I heard Orochimaru laugh.

As I ran down the dark hallways I felt tears fall from my eyes, I let myself sob and then I stumbled. Hitting the ground was a reminder of something.

"Shit", I whispered, dragging myself to my feet again. I wiped my eyes briefly and began to walk again, sniffing.

Kakashi and Naru-Kyuubi, were at the other end of the building! They wouldn't make it to Sasuke...I bit my lip and sped up. I wouldn't be able to find them and they wouldn't be able to find Sasuke. This was all going wrong. The halls were windy here. It was all so that people wouldn't be able to find anything unless they knew where it was. Well obviously....But It would take ages for Kakashi and Kyuubi....Sasuke was dying now...Slowly but it was happening. I growled in frustration and squinted, trying to read my watch. It was, from what I could see, about four o clock. I looked ahead where I could gradually see two lumps(?) on the ground. As I came closer I realised something. These weren't lumps, they were people.

Kakashi? Kyuubi?! I stopped beside them, crouching and pulling at them so that one of them rolled onto his back. It wasn't them thank whatever God was up there....

"S-Sai...san...?", one of the men choked out. I glanced at him sharply. "It was....was two guys. One of them, with blonde hair...He did this and they stole the torches....!". I nearly sighed in relief.

"Okay, did you see which way they went?", I asked. The man's partner groaned in pain.

"Well, they didn't go the way ou were coming from so I think they went left", he mumbled. I nodded and stood.

"Okay thanks", I muttered and set off again, ignoring the calls from the two men. I needed to find them, now. And so I began to run.

The hallways were less windy down here so I had a fair idea where I was going. It was towards one of Orochimarus' favourite places in the whole base, other than his bedroom. It was The Room of Mirrors. I felt a familiar shiver run up my spine as I remembered first hearing about the place.

"I especially love this place...", he whispered. I looked around at the many reflections of myself and then at the metal table in the middle of the room. "It's so they can see exactly what I do to them." He laughed and I felt my stomach turn. "I inject them with a drug that keeps them awake during it all, they witness everything". He looked excited. "They FEEL everything".

I blocked out one of the many horrific memorys that was implanted in my brain and continued on. It was getting brighter as I ran towards the familiar corridor where lamps lit either wall. As I ran past I noticed two more torches lying on the ground. I sighed in relief. Kyuubi and Kakashi must have dropped them when they realised it was bright and the hallways were lit. I smiled slightly in hope that I may be catching up to them. I could feel a stitch beginning to pull in my side and I shut my eyes tightly. Willing myself to keep running. I passed the spot where I'd first killed someone, I suddenly felt woozy.

Orochimaru grinned. "Okay Sai", he whispered. He handed me the gun. "Now just shoot him there and there". He had pointed to his knee and then his head. I watched the man before me. Tied up, gagged and blindfolded. He was crying though, I coud see and hear him sobbing as he was sentenced to death. "Go on Sai".

I took a deep shaky breath. Then with all the strength I could.....I pulled the trigger. The sound had rung in my ears and I watched as the man fell to the ground. He was screaming in pain. I shot him again in the head and nearly got sick as it exploded, splattering against the wall. I didn't move, just watched the blood seep out from underneath him, towards me. I let out shaky breath and Orochimaru laughed.

"You have good aim", he muttered and I could hear the smirk in his voice. "You might be of some use....". Then he had walked away.

I shut my eyes at the memory and once again, pushing past the pain, I sped up. All I could hear was the echoe of my footsteps and my ragged breathing. I groaned in pain as I ran. I wanted to stop and lie on the ground to die, but I couldn't, not after seeing Sasukes face, hearing his screams. And so I kept running.

(Sasukes' POV)

Oh my God.....No......I cried silently to myself as I heard the conversation...Naruto and Kakashi were here. It hurt when I cried...My chest would tighten and then the bones would mov slightly and I'd feel a sharp pain, a burning feeling in my chest. But the pain in my chest wasnt physical, my heart was aching. How could say tell them where I was and then bring them?!

"Aw Sasuke-kun! Im so happy you're awake! Now we can have some fun again!", the snake like man above me exclaimed. I frowned and shut m eyes tightly, but the tears just kept coming. Orochimaru laughed. "You make me so happy Sa-su-ke~". I winced as he pushed his nails into my chest then leaned down an licked the blood from my face. His tongue moved to my lips and pushed through them. Our tongues mingled together and I moaned against my will. He pulled away slightly so that he could see me. He frowned.

"Don't cry Sasuke-kun", he whispered and he wiped away the tears that were falling from my eyes. "Do you want me to end it now? Do you want me to kill you? Will I end it all here?". I shut my eyes. I could feel his hands moe downwards, towards my chest. This time he did nothing but caress It, then he move further down, to my legs where he let his nails drag along the skin just on the inside. I shivered and let out a shaky pained breath. Then his hand cupped my hardening length and I gasped slightly at how gently he moved his hand on it, pumping it slightly. "What do you think sasuke? Will I kill you? If I do It will happen very slowly and you will be in so much pain!" I frowned, not bothering to open my eyes.

"For one....", I breathed out. "I am already in alot of...nng...", he began to pump me harder. "..pain....And two...Im gonna die anyway....". Orochimaru laughed.

"You are such a clever boy Sasuke!". I grunted in response. "How do you anna die?". I smirked despite the pain.

"Well to be honest, it's really your choice, not mine. You are gonna do it, so stop with the stupid questions and do it already". Orochimaru had stopped moving his hand against me and I felt him shift above me. I opened my eyes. He was looking at me intensly, his hair hanging down and tickling my face.

"You know Sasuke....", he whispered. "In all the time that I've known you....You were always so much more interesting than your brother...". He smirked. "You were originally just a replacement.....But I grew to like your pain and how you would go upstairs and cut yourself....It just made me so excited!". His face then darkened. "But then that Uzumaki brat came along and you two tried to defy me! It made me so angry". He then stood and I watched him move away from me and stand. I felt a bit woozy again, loosing this much blood wasn't good for a person. Orochimaru lifted something from the table and walked back over. When the object glinted in the light I frowned. He had a knife.

"Do you know what I study Sasuke?", he asked and he brought the knife into view. It was medium sized, slick and sharp. I grimaced.

"You experiment on...people", I whispered and he brought the knife towards my stomach. He laughed.

"Yes.....But I learn and teach.....I teach people how to torture....So I know all the places I can stab you, but you wont die". Fear gripped my every breath.

"But....Don't you want to kill me?", I asked roughly. He smirked.

"I'll kill you.....Just not right now....", he said. "Sai will find Naruto and Kakshi and he will kill them". I let out a fake laugh, sounding much more confident than I was. Orochimaru narrowed his eyes at me. "What?".

"Do you seriously think that Sai is still with you?", I spat and the pain flared in my chest as he began to push down on it.

"What the hell to you mean?!", he yelled. I eyes the knife he was holding nervously.

"H-He's probably leading them here now! Isn't it obvious that he would?", I asked biting my lip. He growled and I saw him shaking angrilly.

"That stupid fucking RETARD!", he screamed and before I could register what was happening he had shoved the blade through my stomach. I let out an ear splitting scream as blood pooled around the blade and pain overwhelmed me. He wrenched it out and brought it down into me again. I felt tears gather in my eyes and soon I was screaming and crying out in pain. When he pulled it out for a second time I was only seeing blurry pictures. I couldn't see because my senses were clouded with pain. He brought the knife towards my stomach and much to my fear he began to carve words in my chest and stomach. With each new jolt of pain I would writh about, only causing myself more pain.

"You Sasuke have lied to me!", he said through grinded teeth. "And for that, I am going to begin killing you!".

I already knew he would. I just wish it would happen quicker! I screamed out as he let the knife once again go deeper within me. He was grinning maniacly as I cried. How could a human be capable of this? How could one man feel so pleasured while doing this to another human being? He was a monster....he was Orochimaru.......

(Kyuubis' POV)

I could hear the footsteps coming closer every few seconds. Kakashi and I were pressed up against the wall, as far away from the light as we could get. We had dropped our torches long ago and now we were reling on the lamps. I stopped breathing an was listening intently. Kakashi by the sound of it had stopped breathing too. The footsteps were loud now and I finally stepped out, smashing my fist into whoever this was. The guy had cried out in pain and stumbled backwards clutching his face. On closer inspection I realised who it was.

"Sai?!", I exclaimed. Said man had straightned up and was glaring at me.

"What the fuck Kyuubi?!", he yelled trying to stop the blood running from his nose. I smirked.

"Sorry about that....I just wasn't sure if-".

"Look we have no time for long conersations! I've seen Sasuke and he needs to get out of here now", he growled. I searched for any lies in his eyes and on finding none, I nodded.

"Okay, Kakashi we're going to let Sai bring us to Sasuke", I muttered glancing back at the silver haired man. He nodded and walked closer to the two of us.

"Okay then come on", Sai said, beginning to run. I raised an eyebrow but copied his movements, beginning to run aswell.

By now I could see doors on each of the walls. Some were shut, though alot of them were open, allowing me to see in. I grimaced when I saw people chained to walls, I could hear them screaming. I know it was wrong...But that excited me. I felt the surge of excitment run through me like my blood. Hot and burning. I shut my eyes. I would have time to kill later, when we found Orochimaru. Then I would be aloud blood on Narutos' hands. Only then would my thirst for death be quenched. And so we sped past them, ignoring as best we could the screams of agony and the occaional laugh.

I knew we wouldn't make it in time for Sasuke. The time had already past.

Kyuubi ! Don't say that !

I sighed. Sorry Kit.....

We will make it...........we will..... I could hear the pain in his voice and I did my best to sooth the now upset blonde.

Naruto we will find him and we will bring him home. There was a silence that made me worried. Then he spoke.

Promise me...? I sighed. He knew I couldn't promise anything...So I drown him out.

"We are nearly there", Sai said suddenly. I looked at our surroundings and couldn't help notice a big metal black door.

"What's that?", I asked and I could feel a stitch begin to burn my lungs. Sai frowned more if possible.

"That is the Room Of Mirrors". And that was the end of that conversation. "Orochimaru's bedroom is the one room that every hallway in here leads to. It gives him a quick escape if something like this happens. But I am just hoping that he doesn't know what I've planned". There was an akward silence which Kakashi broke.

"Do you think he's alive?", he whispered. Nobody answered, and I knew finally that everyone thought the same. Nobody needed to say it for us to feel it within us. Suddenly Sai stopped running.

"Okay so the place up until now has seemed quite....empty", he said breathlessly. I nodded and stopped beside him. Kakashi stopped too. "Well from here on out....There will be more guards and stuff....". Kakashi nodded and I grunted. "From here we have about six minutes until we get to the room. So there will most likely be alot of guards in about two minutes. Are you ready to fight them?".

"Y-Yeah", Kakashi muttered. Sai looked at me.

"You bet ya", I said and I couldn't help the smirk that graced my lips. I would finally get to fight.

A/N: Thanks for reading! And Im gonna put a reminder of today in this chapter! Just that so whenever i look back on it I can say "Oh my god I updated the same day this happened!". lol

So today, I went to the Arts Festival with my friends :) We fell in loe with a band called Tucan and then after the concert/gig we went up and we chatted to them XD Then we asked for their cds (did i mention these fellos were highly attractive?) and they said they were fifteen euros. So we asked very politely lol if we could have a discount and well in the end we bought four for the price of two =D

So yeah, that was an awesome day that I just thought i'd put up so that I'd remember it forever~
