"What do you want?" I growled as Kabuto entered my room again. Didn't I just say that I wanted him to leave?
"I'm only here to summon you," Kabuto said with a kind smile. I hate that smile. It always means that something bad is about to happen. The last time I saw that smile was when the Akatsuki captured Naruto for a brief time. He somehow escaped, though, and that wiped the stupid kind smile right off of Kabuto's face. It even managed to put a little fear in Kabuto's eyes. Sasuke couldn't help but being proud of Naruto for being able to do that. "Orochimaru wants to see you."
"What does he want?" I growled. Usually Orochimaru only summoned me when he wanted me to go run an errand or when he decided to randomly teach me some new jutsu that I absolutely had to know, but this time something was different.
"I don't know," Kabuto lied. He always knew what Orochimaru wanted. Even when he was deep in the enemy line, he always knew exactly what Orochimaru wanted. That's why I think that something is different this time. Kabuto has never smirked like that when he summons me. He usually just tells me to go see Orochimaru nonchalantly. He's never done something like this before. "Should I tell him that you refuse to see him?"
"No," I shook my head. "Tell him I'll be there soon."
"Whatever you say," Kabuto smiled before leaving the room and me to myself.
For a brief moment, I consider not going to see Orochimaru, but then what would I do. If I stopped going to Orochimaru, it would be like saying that I didn't want to work for him anymore. I can't afford that. Not when I'm so close to being able to defeat Itachi. I have to go see him.
As I walk through the hall to the throne room where I knew Orochimaru sat, thoughts of Naruto entered my head again. Damnit. Why do I keep thinking about him? Why has he been so present in my mind ever since I left Konoha? Wait, I think it's actually been longer than that since I started to always think about Naruto. Why is that? I don't know, but right now I can't worry about that. I need to focus on Orochimaru because I know that whatever he has in store for me cannot be good. I can't be sidetracked with thoughts of Naruto.
The doors that I don't even remember approaching, open before me and I watch as Orochimaru's smirking form comes into my view. Damn that bastard, sitting on his high throne like he was above everything. I really hate the way he always looks at me when he's up there. He acts like I'm just another one of his underlings, willing to fulfill every single one of his desires. Yea right. As soon as I'm strong enough to defeat my brother, I'm out of here. I'll never have to deal with Orochimaru again. Than Naruto might actually stop bothering me. Is that a good thing? Of course it's a good thing. Why wouldn't it be?
"Hello Sasuke," Orochimaru smirks from his high chair. I don't look at him. I refuse to look up at him. So instead I take out a kunai to examine nonchalantly. Let's see how that affects his high and mighty attitude. "I'm glad you could make it," he says.
"Yea," I mutter. I know he can hear me. This hall is so big that the echoes make even the smallest of sounds able to be heard. "Whatever."
Orochimaru stands from his seat with a smirk on his face. That's strange. Usually, he would have at least scowled when I showed him such disrespect. This can't be good.
Orochimaru slowly moves so that he is standing just before me and I finally allow myself to look at him. Now that he isn't up in his pedestal, I can look at him as an equal instead of being forced to look up at him. He reaches out and puts his hand on my face. I have to fight myself so that I wouldn't smack his hand away from me. That wouldn't be good at all.
Suddenly, my whole body feels numb. I can't move. Damn it, I hadn't been paying attention to Kabuto. He snuck up behind me and paralyzed. Damn it. Damn it! I can't move.
Orochimaru smirks once again and his disgustingly cold hand slips from my cheek to slide down to my neck. "Aren't you honored Sasuke," Orochimaru says as he strokes my neck calmly. It feels disgusting, but I can't do anything to stop him. "Today is the day that you finally get to be my new body."
Damn it. Naruto was right. I should have never doubted him. I should have gone home with him just like he wanted. Damn it. I'm sorry Naruto. I am lost. Please stop coming after me because I will no longer be able to come home.
Orochimaru leans forward and I can feel only searing pain as his teeth sink into my neck.
