Chapter 13

The point of no return

In a remote area, Kurenai began to wake. Her head was pounding and her arms were bound. She tried to stand, but fell back down.

They sapped my chakara. If they did that, why would my arms be bound? It dosen't matter, you need to get yourself out. NOW!

She rolled over and came face to face with her hunter.

"Orochimaru. I see you haven't croaked yet. Tell me, who long dose it take someone in your position to die?" She motioned to the bandages wrapped around his mid-section.

"You will pay for that, you little bitch. My wounds are almost healed, and by the time they are, your powers will be mine and Konaha will fall." He un-locked her cell and entered. He knelt down in front of her and traced a slimy finger down the side of her face.

"It will be shamefull to ruin such a beautiful body. Maybe I will, have a little fun before I take your powers." Kurenai shuddered as a chill went flying down her spine.

"You'll never win. They won't let you." She gave him the dirtiest look she could manage. He stood and turned to walk away. He paused.

"You think your friends will stop me? My dear, your friends will be the first to die." And with that he walked out of her cell, heading down the dark, candle lit hallway, not once looking back to see the fear that incased Kurenai's face.
