'I miss Itachi."

The restraints on her wrists and ankles burned like fire as she struggled with them. Her eyes were sore and her throat was raw from the hours of screaming. She was in a daze, her red tear glassed eyes were locked on the apprehension of a man she barely knew; her mind focused on nothing.

Itachi was watching her the whole time, sitting cross legged in a chair beside the bed that had gotten there somehow. He wondered as she silently if he had killed her like he should of, would she be like this? He didn't have too much time to relish that thought, Orochimaru was coming back. "I'm sorry."

She blinked and Orochimaru was in his place, she was scared and a small tear went down her scarrlet cheek. 'I miss Itachi.' He wiped it off "Don't cry One-gai, this can't last forever."

She pulled away, from him, his touch, and reality.

He traced lazy patters over her neck with his fingers "I've already decided what I should do with you." he stated. Ankos stomach turned.

His fingers got lost in her hair, pressing into her scalp so that she couldn't fall asleep or concintrate on anything else but him. "I've decided," he said huskily. "that since you can't properly take care of yourself," his thumb rubbed her temple. She clenched her teeth. "that it would only be safe to keep you as far away from anything intimidating as possible."

Anko snorted, in releif and in realization "So what, you're going to make me a prisoner now?"

He leaned in but Anko didn't really notice "Not exactlly love."

She arched her neck so that she could read his eyes "Than what are you planning to do with me then-" Orochimaru's hot mouth caved in over hers. She tried to wiggle out from under him but he pressed down on her harder. At least she was able to keep her mouth closed from his tongue. She was losing air and her struggleing seized.

As soon as she stopped, he released her, panting lightly over her lips. He smirked and stood up "Your belongings have been moved into my quaters. Until I'm sure you can be trusted to be on your own you will remain there."

"Say what!"

He smiled and started to leave "It want be as bad as you think...as long as you wear clothes when you go to bed at least." he chuckled at her shocked expression and left. "I'll remove the restraints in the morning."

Anko pressed her head deeper into the pillow, sighing worriedly "I'm going to die."


Orochimaru's room was a mansion compared to the bedroom she had been living in previously. He had a kingsized bed with dark purple covers, a desk across from the bed and a large chester drawl, big enough for both their clothes plus more, a door and a bathroom door, and two nightstands on the sides of the bed.

All of the things, such as clothes and other personals, had been packed up and put in a corner of the room ealier. Anko would leave the unpacking for later since she didn't have too much.

She pulled her self up on to the bed for a better veiw. Not bad, it would be better if she wasn't sharing with Orochimaru though. Oh well, better than a prison cell at least.

She dropped back, rubbing her throbbing wrists as she did, and stared at the celling fan. It spun slowly, hypotaliclly, just like Itachi's eyes.

.'.'.'.'.

"What is this place anyway?" she asked Itachi

'Tuskuyomi, or the nightmare realm." he stated simply.

"Is this...Hell?"

To her surprise he chuckled, Itachi never seemed like someone who would laugh. "No, Hell is a real and vibrate place, this however is an illusion."

Anko fingered the holes in her hand "Doesn't seem like it." she grumbled.

Suddenly his hands were over hers. 'Everything that you see through your eyes is and illusion,' his hands released hers and the holes were gone.

'You just have to know how to tell them apart from reality.'

.'.'.'.'.

She grimaced as she awakened from the dream "Everything is an illusion to me Itachi." she said as if he was there. She turned onto her side because the fan was off and she had no reason to look at a it anymore. To her slight surprise, Orochimaru was at his desk, looking through documents of some sort.

"Hey." she said out of no where. He looked up and nodded as his own greeting "Sleep well?" He sounded...angry

She got off the bed and walked to him "Yeah, beds pretty damn comfortable."

He smiled "Good, you'll be sleeping there for awhile."

He wasn't giving her eye contact, strange, he usually liked staring at her until she freaked out but it was like he was trying to advoid her. She arched an eyebrow curiously and leaned on his desk. "Look at me." she said.

He gave her two seconds and then looked down back. Anko growled and impussivley grabbed his neck "What are you doing?" He threw her back. She stumbled but managed not to hit the ground.

"Don't ever try making demands to me." he growled. He walked around her to leave. She watched him leave, confused at hurt. Part of her wanted to run after him and demand an explaination but the other part wanted to curl up and never see him again. What did she do wrong this time?

'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'

Later

Anko was putting her clothes away when Orochimaru came back in. She didn't even glance at him. He gulped and walked up behind her "I'm sorry about earlier."

Even though she was surprised by this sudden act of apolizing, she didn't press him into it. "It's fine, don't worry about it." she ducked past him.

"You don't even want to know why I hurt you?"

"Not really."

He sighed, seeing he wasn't going to get anywhere. "Fine. Listen it's late, I think we should turn in."

"You go ahead, I'm going to stay up for a while longer."

"No." Orochimaru said simply."

"No." Anko said "Look, you may decide where I live but you don't decide when I sleep or anything else."

"On the contrary I do." he stated, some of his old humor was returning "I'm making you stay in here with me because I don't want to have to drag you back into a medical wing, especully from something as stupid as suicide."

"Hey!" she dehended angerly "That wasn't my fault-"

"I sure, It must have been Itachi's."

She froze, how had he know about that?

He smirked, glad to be in control again. "Get to bed."

She straightend up and crossed her arms "I...I'm not going to sleep with you."

He laughed "I'm not going to try to rape you if that's what your worried about." he joked "I prefer the unexperienced type."

"...EXCUSE ME!"

"I like to teach young girls, I like to teach them a lot of things."

"..."

"Which side would you like?"

"...[twitch]..."

"Fine, Goodnight Anko." He got into bed and waited for her. She was still frozen in embarresment and anger.

Suddenly Orochimaru was turned onto his back, Anko glaring daggars at him "What the Hell was that suppose to mean?"

He chuckled "Your to beautiful to be a virgin."

Her expression changed from hate to surprise. He ruffled her hair "That's all I meant, now if you could please get your knee out of my stomach..."

She got off of him. He smiled at her one more time before turning onto his side.

"Bastard..." she mumbled. Still, it was nice to know that someone thought she was beautiful.


I am a total screw up
