Proposition

I will take your breath away
Fall!

Sasuke leaned against the wall of his new cell with his shoulder to prevent this back from touching the dirty surface. The wounds left by the whip burned and prevented him from moving. His breathing was slow and each breath he took made his back hurt. He had never been this hurt before, especially by a whip.

He flinched when the door opened and a man dressed in a black uniform entered. His face was covered by a mask that was painted like a snake. He tossed something into the room and from what Sasuke could tell it looked like bandages of some sort. They were actually giving him something to wrap up his wounds with?

"Get yourself wrapped up, the boss wants to talk to you." The man stated. "Sakon will be bringing you a shirt."

When he left Sasuke struggled to move but he managed and reached out to grab the white gauze from the floor. He sucked in a sharp inhale of breath when he felt the stinging in his back from the movement he made. He fought through the pain and grabbed the bandage wrap in his hand before slowly bringing it back. As he unraveled it, he tried to remember how Sakura showed him wrap up a wound on the back.

He brought the wrap to his chest and began to wrap it around his chest and his back, the pain was more grueling than anything but he had to push through it to cover the wounds to prevent them from getting infected. It wasn't something he had to do often since he always tried to keep himself away from bad injuries but this time he couldn't escape that.

With some struggling and effort he managed to wrap the bandage around his back and chest. He sighed softly as he heard the door open a second time and in walked Sakon, the one who had put him in this condition. Sasuke formed his eyes into a glare as Sakon walked over to him and tossed a white shirt to the floor next to him.

Sakon shut the door behind him and stepped forward and leaned down to grab Sasuke by his hair. He smirked as Sasuke clenched his eyes shut from the pain, Sakon just continued to pull on his hair causing him even more pain. There was nothing he enjoyed more than doing this to one of their lab rats.

"You should have talked before." Sakon growled before bringing a knife from his pocket and stabbing Sasuke in his abdomen.

Sasuke gasped from the pain and that's when the feeling of passing out came to him. He already felt his blood running over his stomach and over his pants and from what he could tell, it was a lot of blood. He grabbed the wound once Sakon had pulled the blade from his stomach he tried to stop the bleeding but it wouldn't cease.

"Orochimaru come look at this," Kabuto said as he looked into the room where Sasuke was being held, "Sakon just attacked Sasuke."

"What the hell is he doing?!" Orochimaru growled as he ran from the room and headed to Sasuke's holding cell.

He burst through the door and grabbed Sakon and threw him to the floor as Sasuke fell to his side unconsciousness. Sakon gasped as his back hit the cement before looking up to Orochimaru, he could see the anger on his boss's face and he started to regret coming in here to begin with. He didn't take defiance like Sasuke had done, he always made sure he got the person to talk but Sasuke really got under his skin.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Orochimaru demanded.

"He attacked me-" Sakon tried to say as he sat up but he felt a blow to his face and fell back again.

"Don't fucking lie to me! Kabuto saw you on the video camera, you attacked him!" Orochimaru kicked Sakon in the side causing the male to gasp out from the pain that was sent through his body.

Orochimaru turned to Sasuke and walked over to kneel down to him. He shifted his hair away from his eyes and when he saw that he was out cold he growled even more before turning to Sakon. His eyes formed into a glare that said he was in deep shit, there were consequences for what Sakon had done and there would be no mercy.

"Kabuto have the guards take Sakon to a cell, I'll be there in a a few minutes."

Kabuto nodded as he called for the guards through a small radio and they responded immediately to the call and entered the room. Once Sakon was taken away Orochimaru turned to Sasuke again and reached to his neck and felt for a pulse. When he found one he stood up and turned to Kabuto and sighed angrily.

"Take Sasuke and get him treated, I need him awake and in good condition," Orochimaru walked from the room, "Get me when he's regained consciousness."

A man stood before the building that was destroyed upon Sasuke's disappearance. He glanced around at the rubble as his German Shepard walked around, sniffing for anything that that might be of any help. His cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket and he pulled it out to answer it as he still shifted his eyes around the property.

"Hello?"

"Itachi, have you found anything?" It was Kakashi.

"Not yet, I have Duke out here looking around for clues."

"Well keep us-"

"Hang on," Itachi cut him off, "I think Duke found something."

Itachi stepped forward before kneeling down to his canine's level. Duke dropped something into his hand and Itachi peered at it and studied the object that was found on sight. His eyes widened, it was an ID card, he looked over the information and then to the picture of a man with black hair and yellow eyes.

"Who is Orochimaru?" Itachi murmured to himself.

"What did he find?"

"Its an ID card."

"What is the name on it?"

"It just has a first name, but it says Orochimaru."

"We'll run the name, but we'll need the ID for the picture," Kakashi stated.

"Alright, I'll be back in an hour, but I want to look around a little more first." Itachi began walking as Duke ran off again.

"See you then."

They hung up and Itachi followed Duke to where he found the ID and the male dog began sniffing around again. There had to be more clues out here somewhere, if Duke had found this ID card maybe there was another one.

Hang in there little brother, we're getting closer to finding you.

Duke stopped suddenly when he picked up a small radio. Itachi grabbed it once Duke placed it in his hands. He lifted it up to examine it and he immediately recognized the technology. This is one that Shikamaru made, and there was only one person out here to lose it, it was his brother's communicator.

That's why we couldn't trace him, they destroyed the tracer in the radio and left it here. Fuck.

Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed before his eyes slowly opened, he sat up quickly but immediately regretted it when he felt a sharp pain surge in through his stomach. He clenched his eyes shut before he looked around to find himself in a room that was poor design of an infirmary. He noticed he had been bandaged up again.

"Damn, more injuries like this and I'll die for sure." Sasuke muttered to himself.

He wrapped an arm around his abdomen and stood to his feet, he noticed there was a shirt on the end of the bed that he was laying on. He grabbed it and slipped it on over his torso. He was surprised they had given him anything at all, he would have thought for sure that they wouldn't have done such a thing.

"At least they have the decency to give me a shirt."

The door of the room opened and in walked the man from before with the snake mask. He stepped towards Sasuke and gestured his head or him to follow him. Sasuke was a little reluctant but did so with extreme caution, he didn't know what this man was capable of so he took each step with care.

"Where are we going?"

"The boss wants a word with you."

"Why?"

"Hell if I know," He growled, "Just stay quiet."

Sasuke glared at the man as he followed him down the hall and Sasuke thought about making a run for it but decided against it. He wanted to see who their boss was, if he managed to escape later he could tell his team who it was.

"Orochimaru, Sasuke is being brought here as we speak."

"Good Kabuto," Orochimaru grinned.

"Do you mind of I ask what you are planning to do?"

"He is a strong person, and if I can get him to join our ranks he'll be a great asset to us," The black-haired male explained to his assistant.

"Do you think he will?"

"That remains to be seen."

The door opened suddenly and the man with the mask and Sasuke walked in. Sasuke noticed that several guards came over to guard the door and stand behind him. They weren't leaving any room for error here. Sasuke looked forward and spotted the man that he assumed was the boss and he was positive especially when the man stood to walk over to him.

"Well Sasuke, I see you are doing better."

Sasuke remained silent and Orochimaru could only grin at his defiance.

"You have spirit and that's why I have a proposition for you," Orochimaru offered.

"What would that be?" Sasuke said finally speaking up.

"I want you to join my crew, be apart of us." Orochimaru gestured to all of the guards in the room.

"No." Sasuke deadpanned.

"Such a simple response."

Orochimaru stepped closer to him and leaned into his ear. "I know who you are working for."

Sasuke's eyes widened as Orochimaru pulled away from him with a smirk on his face.

"You're lying," Sasuke stated.

"Oh am I? You work with a government organization called ANBU, your commanding officer is Kakashi Hatake, and your teammates are Naruto Uzumaki, who is also your best friend, Shikamaru Nara, the supposed genius, Neji Hyuuga, a prodigy of his family..." Orochimaru trailed off, "Shall I continue?"

"How did you find out?" Sasuke glared at him.

"I have someone who used to work for that pathetic organization, and he recognized you when I allowed him to see you when you were unconscious."

"What?"

"Do you want to see him?"

Without giving his answer the door on the other side of the room opened and in walked someone Sasuke had worked with before. He was kicked out of ANBU after he was caught selling information on them to enemy terrorist groups.

"Madara!" Sasuke stated with anger in his tone.

"Nice to see you again too Sasuke," Madara chuckled.

"So Sasuke, will you join us?"

"Hell no!"

Sasuke was getting aggressive towards them and he suddenly lashed out at the guards behind him. He managed to knock them to the ground thanks to his taekwondo training. He burst through the door and ran down the hallway, trying with all his might to get away from them, there had to be a way out of here.

But where...

"Sir, shall we pursue him?" One of the guards asked.

"I guess you can, there is no way he's getting out of here anyway." Orochimaru waved them off as they ran from the room.

"I told you he was defiant," Madara stated as he shook his head.

"Oh I'll fix that, if I have to erase his memories then so be it, but he will join us whether he wants to or not."

Sasuke ran down the hall opening several doors but only to end up running into another cell. Most of them were empty and Sasuke wondered if there had been anyone in them or not. If there had been, where did they go? What happened to them. He stopped when he found a room that looked like a control room.

He stepped inside and spotted a computer and went over to it. He managed to hack into it's files and found that this room controlled all of the cameras. Typing in several codes he disabled the cameras and locked them down so they wouldn't be able be turned back on unless they had a hacker of their own

Shikamaru had showed him how to do this, it could only be done at the main computer in the place they infiltrated or been sent to, to investigate. Sasuke couldn't thank his teammate enough for this little lesson. He shook his head and exited the room after shutting off the computer and turning it off then destroying the cord to prevent it from being turned back on.

"Let's see them get that back up and running."

Sasuke managed to find a door that led to a flight of stairs and he didn't waste any time in going down them at a quick pace and he could already feel his breathing getting heavier and heavier. The wounds burned but he wouldn't let himself give in, he's never given up before and he didn't plan to now.

When he reached the bottom there was a door that suddenly opened upon his arrival and in came about twenty guards. Sasuke stopped in his tracks and tried to turn around only to see more guards. He was surrounded, there was no way he could escape now, his only choice was to try. If he went down, he's was taking out one of this guys as well.

The guards separated as Orochimaru and Madara came through the door with their hands behind their backs. Madara shook his head at his former team member as a smirk spread its way across his face before he tsked.

"You are predictable Sasuke." Madara stepped forward.

Sasuke remained silent as his eyes burned with hatred towards this man and how he betrayed them. Madara was one of Sasuke's teachers, its no wonder he knew what Sasuke would do when he managed to escape their grasp.

Before Sasuke could react he was hit from behind on his neck and fell to his hands and knees. He gritted his teeth as pain tore through him from the blow that was made on him and from his wounds that burned from before. He glanced up to the two he wanted to kill with his own two hands. The ones who put him in this condition.

"Sasuke, have you ever heard of 'The Perfect Soldier'? Orochimaru asked. "No? You'll find out soon enough."

Sasuke lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor as he was picked up and dragged back to his cell. Kabuto walked over to Orochimaru as the black-haired man addressed him.

"Kabuto, finish whatever tests you think will benefit us, then in a few months, prep him for 'The Perfect Soldier' experiment."

"Sir, you think it will work, that test failed the last time and the time before that and not to mention we lost our specimens," Kabuto reminded.

"We'll be fine, if we do it right, we won't make the same mistakes as we did on the last ones." Orochimaru stated with confidence. "If it goes well, Sasuke will be our greatest success."

"Not to mention we can send him after that pathetic ANBU organization." Madara said.

"Why do that? Once Sasuke is a part of us...we can lead them here and he can take them down on our turf."

"I like the way you think Orochimaru." Madara chuckled and followed his partner up to the main office.

Weeks began to pass, leaving the ANBU team frustrated. They still have yet to find Sasuke and now they were doubting if they were ever going to find him. Naruto was struggling to keep a cool head for Sakura's sake, but it was hard knowing his best friend was out there, who knows where and who knows how he is.

Sasuke's parents hadn't taken the news well, and Mikoto, Sasuke's mom, was having trouble focusing at work since his disappearance. She tried, but she kept thinking about the worst possible things that those men could be doing to him. His father, Fugaku, had called in some favors to try and see if there was anything else that could be done.

Sasuke's brother Itachi had decided to help in the search and went to investigate the place where Sasuke disappeared, he refused to believe that all traces of them were gone.

It wasn't long until months came and went, Sakura tried hard to resist running away to find Sasuke herself but Kakashi had found out about that and he instead allowed her to help them at headquarters. She was doing her best and doing certain things that even Shikamaru had trouble figuring out, but they put their heads together and found some interesting information about the building Sasuke was investigating when he disappeared.

There were a few disappearances all throughout the city, some people were kidnapped and taken by men that fit the description of who took Sasuke. Sakura chose that to go off of and she decided to talk to some families of the ones who went missing. She just wanted to find Sasuke and bring him home, if she couldn't do that she would feel like she let him down.

I'll bring you home Sasuke

Present Day

Kabuto chuckled as he stared down at Sasuke, serum nine was taking effect already and he was glad it was causing him pain. He should enjoy this while it lasts, this would be the last test he would run on Sasuke before he underwent surgery to have the chip embedded into his head. Kabuto shook his head as he remembered Orochimaru's plan he suggested months ago.

"Kabuto, finish whatever tests you think will benefit us, then in a few months, prep him for 'The Perfect Soldier' Experiment."

Sasuke yelled and clenched his eyes shut as he felt the injected serum run through his veins, constantly reminding him that he was still alive when he wanted to die right now. Through the pain, he caught glimpses of images of people in his head, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't remember who they were.

The pain subsided and Sasuke glanced around the room, everything was spinning and to him he felt like he was moving but he knew better than that. Kabuto scribbled something down on a clipboard and turned to Sasuke with a small flashlight to check his eyes then proceeded to write on the paper on the board.

Once Kabuto was done he finished up with a sleeping drug to make Sasuke fall asleep for the next thing to come. Then he left without a word and headed to Orochimaru's office to report to him like he was told.

Two men entered the room afterward and wheeled Sasuke out to a new room. It would be the room the surgery would be taking place in and there could be no room for error. The surgery room was the cleanest room in the entire building, it was the one place Orochimaru made sure was always sanitary.

It wasn't until about almost an hour later that Kabuto came into the room. White rubber gloved covered his hands as a mask covered his nose and mouth. He carried in a glass tray with a small microchip sitting on it, this would be the chip that would be embedded into Sasuke's head. He sat that on a table next to the operating table that Sasuke was laying on.

Kabuto stood above Sasuke and stared down at the young male before giving a sigh before looking up to glance at a small room with glass separating him from it. Orochimaru stood to observe the surgery and he gave a nod which Kabuto returned without hesitation. He grabbed the scalpel and prepared to make the cut on the right side of Sasuke's head.

"Shikamaru its been three months since Itachi found the ID-" Kakashi said but was cut off when Shikamaru spoke up.

"I know that, but I can't seem to find anything on this guy."

"Have you checked confidential files?"

"It would help if I knew what this guy was actually a part of."

"I was told code 4015."

"Human Experiment Warning." Shikamaru stated. "But I've already searched human experimentation crime files."

"Whoever this guy is...he's done something to hide himself." Kakashi sighed.

"Kakashi, if this guy has done human experimentation on people..." Shikamaru trailed off before continuing to speak. "What about Sasuke?"

"I don't know Shikamaru, I really don't."

Kakashi sighed sat down on a chair next to Shikamaru. "Have you tried searching buildings with the description Naruto gave you that he received from the girl?"

"Yeah, but I found several places, Neji and Gaara are investigating one at a time."

Silence fell between them as Shikamaru continued typing on the computer, trying to find anything that would tell him who this Orochimaru really was. He began to feel nervous, Sasuke had saved him once before and now he was feeling he let Sasuke down by not returning the favor. Even if Sasuke would only tell him its not his fault, he still believed it was.

Kakashi pulled out his cell phone and called Naruto to see how him and Sakura were doing, but he sighed when Naruto didn't answer. He was more than likely too focused on what they were doing that he didn't really notice his phone ringing.

Come on you guys, find something.

Another month passed with the ANBU team coming up with nothing, Sakura was getting aggravated and she was ready to give up. But a part of her pressed on, she had to find Sasuke and there was no way, anyone would get in her way with the way she was feeling right now. If anyone tried to mess with her than they were going to find themselves in a hospital.

Naruto had made the mistake of trying to tell her what to do and she punched him in the face. He had learned his lesson and he hoped no one else made the same mistake he did, and if they did, well they were a poor soul who better have a good doctor. He didn't get hit that bad so he didn't have to worry about seeing a doctor but her punch still hurt.

The two arrived back at Sakura's place and Sakura just collapsed onto the couch with frustration. Naruto sat on a chair across from the couch and remained silent for a few minutes. He wanted to say something but would she get mad at him and try to punch him again. He though it over and was about to say something but Sakura beat him to it.

"Naruto." Her tone was sad as she looked at him. "Do you think we'll ever find him?"

Naruto was surprised when she started crying, his heart clenched at the thought of her being in so much pain. She had built a wall around herself these last few months to be strong and now it was finally breaking down to reveal how hard she was really taking Sasuke's disappearance. Naruto didn't have to think twice when he went over to her and embraced her in a hug. Sakura was like his sister just like Sasuke was like his brother, and it pained him to know he couldn't really do anything or either of them.

Two guards ran at the man in the room as the man shot forward and knocked them both down. He spun around when another guard came at him from behind and brought his fist into an uppercut to hit the man in the chin causing him to fly backwards to hit the ground.

Orochimaru watched as his best fighter trained thanks to the several guards that volunteered since they wanted to take on the man. He had beaten them down several times and wasted no effort to make them submit when he had them pinned down. The fighter had already had training in martial arts, this was just a way to sharpen his skills to make himself better.

With a smirk, Orochimaru turned to Madara who was standing by his side. Madara shook his head with an amused look on his face before turning back to the man who had taken down the guards.

"It looks like it was a success."

"I told you, and now we can do a lot more."

Orochimaru walked forward with Madara right behind him so they were only a foot away from their fighter. He turned to the two older males and stood at attention with his hands resting behind his back. His clothes consisted of all black material which ranged from black jeans, a black shirt and black trench coat.

On his hands were a pair of black fingerless gloves to prevent him from dropping a weapon if he had used one against an enemy. Around his waist was a black belt with a gun holster with several pouches filled with different weapons such as grenades, a few tranquilizer darts that were adaptable to use in his gun and a few other weapons of choice that was chosen by Orochimaru and Madara.

One weapon that was strapped to his back was a sword that he had trained with under tough and impossible conditions. But he had managed to get through them and that was why he was their best fighter, despite only have been here for a few months unlike a lot the other personnel he has met here during this last month while training.

"Well Sasuke are you ready to have some guests."

Sasuke merely nodded his head for confirmation without any hesitation. his yes held a darkness to them, one that showed the dangerous man he was and always has been. There were few people who would want to take him on in a fight and that's exactly what Orochimaru and Madara had wanted from the beginning.

To have a perfect soldier.

The experiment was a success, Sasuke had no memory of his past life, he only knew his name and what he was meant to do. He was trained to be cold-blooded in a fight, as far as Orochimaru and Madara were concerned, Sasuke no longer had a heart to feel with and it made them wonder how the ANBU team would react to finding Sasuke the way he is.

He was trained to feel no emotions, to fight when it seemed hopeless and never give into any demands made by anyone other than Orochimaru and Madara. The chip that had been embedded into his head would assure that his memories wouldn't return or let him remember who the others were when they arrived.

The ANBU team had no idea what was going to occur and what would happen to them once Sasuke took them down. What would they even say when they saw Sasuke fighting against them, would they believe him to be a traitor? Or would they figure out what was really going on?

"Madara I think its time to call the ANBU group don't you think?"

"I think you are right."

ANBU was indeed in for a surprise and it wasn't one anyone would ever want in years. There was no more that could be said as Orochimaru and Madara went to make a phone call.

Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
