Betrayal?

Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to heaven

Kakashi sprinted to the computer room where Shikamaru had called him only ten minutes before. There had been a new development in Sasuke's disappearance and from what Shikamaru said they knew where Sasuke was. He burst through the doors and found all of his teammates and Sakura with Tenten, Ino and Hinata.

"Shikamaru, what's going on?"

"You have to listen to this phone call, I recorded it but these guys mean business."

Shikamaru pressed a few buttons and the phone call played over the computer monitor.

Well ANBU I suppose you have figured out where Sasuke is right, oh wait, you would have rescued him by now if that were the case. Well, if you want to see him again come to the coordinates I send to your email. If you don't believe me, just open up the pictures attached to the email I send along with the coordinates, that should get you moving into action.

Shikamaru clicked on the attached file, and when he brought it up on the large screen, it made everyone's stomach churn. It was Sasuke hanging from the ceiling by chains, and they even saw the blood that covered him. Shikamaru opened the other and it was one of Sasuke's back, it showed the whips indentations on his flesh.

"Oh god!" Sakura covered her mouth to hide the gasp as tears formed in her eyes.

She forced herself to turn away as Naruto stood with wide eyes. He swallowed slowly as his breath left him in an instant. Never in his life would he have thought that Sasuke would be in a position like that.

"You have the coordinates?" Kakashi asked Shikamaru when he forced himself to look away from the screen.

"Yeah," Shikamaru said as he nodded, "Its at an old psychiatric asylum, completely abandoned."

"Let's move, we leave in one hour." Kakashi stated as they all nodded and ran from the room to prepare themselves for the mission.

Sakura walked over to Kakashi as the older man looked at her. Her eyes burned with an unanswered question and there was no way she was taking no for an answer.

He nodded. "I'll let you go, but you'll do as I say and not run to do something without my say so."

Sakura nodded with understanding and ran off, she then briefly wondered if the other girls were going as well or if they were going to stay behind to watch the headquarters.

Sasuke, I hope you're okay.

"Kakashi, we have the place surrounded." Neji stated as he stood next to his commanding officer.

"Alright, let's head in."

Neji nodded and signaled for the rest of the team to go ahead in. They burst through the gates and charged towards the entrance of the building. Once they arrived inside, they were surprised to see a couple people standing there as if nothing was wrong.

"Well I see you don't have manners, have you ever heard of knocking?" Orochimaru chuckled as he stepped forward with Kabuto right behind him.

"Shut up, where's Sasuke?"

"We're not done with introductions, why are you in such a rush Kakashi?"

"How do you-"

"I have my ways, just like I know of Naruto, Neji and of course Sakura." Orochimaru looked at her with a grin. "Sasuke could sure use your company."

"Just cut the shit and tell us where he is." Sakura shouted with a frown on her face.

"You want to see him again? Cause I can guarantee he isn't the same Sasuke you know."

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"See for yourself." Orochimaru snapped his fingers as another person entered the room, his attire all at the color of black.

A sword was attached to his back, he was wearing a plain black t-shirt and black jeans while a pair of fingerless black gloves covered his hands and a pair of black glasses shielded his eyes. His footwear were just a pair of black combat boots without his pants tucked into them. Sakura's heart stopped when she realized who it was, Naruto, Kakashi and the others stood with surprise to see Sasuke standing before them.

"Sasuke." Orochimaru addressed him. "Go ahead and kill them now, we have much to do."

Sasuke merely nodded and charged towards them as they dodged out of the way to go in separate directions. Naruto was the first one Sasuke went after which took the blond by surprise causing him to have to slide to the ground to avoid being hit. But Sasuke didn't stop as he kicked Naruto when he tried to stand to his feet. Flying back to the ground Naruto groaned with pain before sitting up to wipe the blood from his lip.

"Sasuke what the hell?!" Naruto growled with anger and stood back to his feet.

Sasuke was unaffected by his outburst as he remained standing with no emotion evident on his face. Sakura knelt on the ground by Kakashi as she watched her boyfriend bring back his fist to hit Naruto again.

"Sasuke!" She shouted before standing to her feet.

Turning towards her gave Naruto the opportunity to make a move to go at Sasuke when he had his back turned but Sasuke knelt down which caused Naruto to flip over him to the ground again. Lying on his back, Naruto attempted to get up but stopped suddenly when a blade was pointed towards him. His eyes widened when it was brought back and shot forward until it met his flesh to slice through his shoulder.

"Ahh!" Naruto yelled as Sasuke only stared down at him as the blond before him bled.

"Sasuke! Stop it!" Sakura shouted and was about to go after him when Kakashi spoke up.

"Sasuke! What is wrong with you?!"

Sasuke glanced at him as he pulled the sword from Naruto's shoulder giving back his freedom to move. Naruto jumped up and punched Sasuke in the face, cracking the glasses over his eyes. Thinking he had delivered a successful hit Naruto pulled his fist away only to have Sasuke turn back to him as the glasses fell from his face. His eyes expressed anger before he hit Naruto with his forearm.

Sakura had tears come to her eyes before she ran at him. "Sasuke! Stop it!" She wrapped her arms around his torso and cried into his chest.

His mind flashed to a memory for one brief second before a searing pain shot through his head. He clenched his teeth and pushed her away, she was taken aback by his action but her shock was overcome by fear when he pointed his sword at her. Her breath caught in her throat until the weapon was knocked from his hands, he turned to see Naruto standing there with an angry expression on his face.

"Let's go!" Kakashi ordered his team and they all went at Sasuke hoping to outnumber him.

Taking an inhale of breath, the raven-haired male closed his eyes before reopening them to strike his former teammates, taking them down, one by one. He ended up pulling a knife, he had concealed, from his boot and slashed it at each of them when they attempted to attack him. When Naruto and Kakashi ran at him from both sides, Sasuke jumped and scissor kicked them which sent both of them to the ground. Neji took this chance to take on Sasuke in hand to hand combat, when he thought he would make a direct hit, Sasuke caught his hand and performed a backfist to his face as the male Hyuuga cried out in pain before falling to the ground holding his hand to his lip.

Lee engaged Sasuke in battle next and managed to hit Sasuke a few times, Sasuke was good at martial arts but so was Lee, they trained together so Lee knew most of his moves. There was one move Sasuke had learned before, but he had never used it because of the severity of the damage that could be done by it. But Orochimaru had made sure Sasuke practiced it.

Sasuke moved with exceptional speed as Lee's eyes widened when Sasuke brought his leg up and forcefully brought down his limb to execute an axe kick directly to Lee's collar bone. There was a sickening crack before Lee's legs buckled beneath him as the bone broke beneath the force of the impact of his kick. Lee screamed in agony and lay on the floor shaking uncontrollably from the pain, Neji got to his feet and made his way over to aid him.

"We can't fight him like this," Kakashi stated. "Sakura go help Lee."

He turned back to Sasuke who was staring at him with an emotionless stare, he didn't even care he was causing his teammates pain.

Sasuke why are you doing this to us? Kakashi pulled a radio and called in back up from more allies that were waiting for orders to intervene.

Sakura was grabbed from behind as she tried to scream only to have her mouth covered by the male's hand. "Shut up and you won't get hurt."

There were suddenly sounds of helicopters outside and Orochimaru glanced at Kakashi before turning his attention to Sasuke. "Sasuke we have to go, now!"

Sasuke reached into a pouch that was strapped to his leg and pulled out several grenades and smoke bombs. He pulled the pins from them and tossed them towards the ANBU team which they dodged to the ground to avoid. Sasuke stared at them as he disappeared in the smoke.

The ANBU team shielded their heads and their eyes before the debris cleared. Kakashi was the first to stand as he stared around the room only to see that they were really gone.

"Damn it." He cursed.

"Kakashi." Neji called him. "Sakura's gone."

"What?!"

"Let me go." Sakura yelled at the male who had a hold of her arm.

"I told you to shut up." The man struck her across the face as he threw her into a room.

He walked up to her as she attempted to get away from him but he just grabbed her and held her still before he straddled her hips. She cried out as he hit her across her face again and pinned her hands above her head with one of his own before he reached for her shirt and tore it off of her leaving her in her black bra. Tears started to fall down her face as she cried out again for help, but no one came.

"Don't, please stop!" She whimpered loudly.

"I'm going to have fun with you," He whispered in her ear before he flicked it with his tongue.

"No!" She yelled out and tried to kick him off but to no avail.

He ignored her attempts to escape as he reached his hand out to tug at the strap of her bra before pulling it off exposing her breasts to him. His eyes traveled over her torso as he smirked darkly and leaned down to run his tongue over her nipple.

"Stop!" She yelled again as a shadow loomed over them.

"Make one more move, and I'll kill you." A voice stated and the man turned to the source.

"Back off, this little whore is mine."

A knife was pressed into the side of his neck as sweat trickled down his face. He turned to the man and glared at him before shrugging the knife away and got up to leave the room. "Fine take the slut."

Sakura sat up shakily and turned away with her arms covering her chest as her tears continued to fall down her face. She was surprised when a coat was placed over her shoulders and she turned her head slightly to see Sasuke. Her eyes widened when she saw the gentleness in his eyes compared to what she saw of him earlier.

"Come on, I'll get you a new shirt." He reached to the floor and picked up her bra before he handed it to her which she took wordlessly.

She stood up clutching the coat closed and followed him out of the room. "Where are we going?"

"My room, I have some shirts you can choose from."

Why doesn't he say anything about earlier?

They arrived to his room and he walked in with her right behind him. She looked down the hallway and noticed this place was a lot cleaner than where they were before. He reached into a case and pulled out a few shirts and handed them to her.

"Pick one you want." He said and turned away so she could put her bra and the shirt on.

"Why did you help me, but you attacked me and my friends earlier?" She asked as she slipped the shirt over her head and pulled it down over her stomach.

"I don't stand for people that rape women."

She remained quiet for a few seconds as he looked at her when she said she was done.

"Sasuke, why did you betray us?" Her eyes looking at him intently.

He was confused. "What are you talking about?"

"What the hell do you think I'm talking about?!" She yelled as her eyes formed a glare. "You turned your back on ANBU, your friends, family and...me."

"I really don't know what you mean." He stood to leave the room but she reached out and grabbed his arm which forced him to turn around.

She was about to yell at him, but when she looked into his eyes, she could see the truth behind them. Sakura placed her hands against his cheeks and to her surprise he didn't push her away.

"You don't know who I am, do you?" She asked as her eyes widened.

"Frankly, I can't remember anything about my past except my own name."

"Sasuke." Her voice cracked. "I'm your girlfriend. Sakura, remember?!"

"You expect me to believe that? You're lying." He stated as his eyes formed a glare.

"No. I'm telling you the truth." She urged him to believe her. "These men that you're working for...they took you as a hostage, they gave you the scars you have on your back, they are the ones that hurt you."

"Why should I believe you? For all I know you're the one that's lying and you're the one that wants to kill me." He forced her hands away from his face. "The only reason you're saying these things is to make me drop my guard and trust you."

"Sasuke, please." She thought for a second as he turned to walk away again, her heart raced before her eyes widened. "If I was lying, how would I have this?"

Sasuke looked at her to see her holding a locket that was around her neck. The charm was in her hand as she raised it to let him see. She opened it and his eyes widened at what he saw. It was him and her together, she was kissing him on the cheek and his face was one of surprise.

He grabbed it but didn't pull it since it was still around her neck. His eyes widened further as an image flashed through his mind but as quickly as it came, it was gone. A wave of pain shot through his head again as he fell to his knees clutching the sides of his skull before it finally passed.

His breathing was heavy as he clenched his eyes shut and gritted his teeth. Sakura knelt down to him and placed a hand on his back her eyes full of worry.

"You..." He muttered.

Sakura looked a little taken aback but what he said next made her tensed nerves relax slightly.

"...I do know you..."

"Yes you do." Sakura cried out and hugged him.

He was shocked and when he didn't return the hug, Sakura released her hold and looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

"I know you, but I can't remember from where or even..." He muttered to himself as he trailed off.

"We'll figure that out later, let's just get out of here."

"I can't leave."

"Why?"

"They have cameras all over this place, they'll know. And besides, just because I say I know you doesn't mean your story is true."

"But Sasuke..."

"Stop...I have to go..." He left the room leaving her by herself as tears formed in her eyes.

Sasuke walked down the hall as his mind wondered back to Sakura.

I know her but from where? Is she telling the truth?

He sighed before heading to the computer room, he wanted to do some research on ANBU, something wasn't sitting right with him. Once inside he sat down in front of a laptop and hacked his way through files, he set up firewalls and made sure no one could see what he was doing. This was something he couldn't afford to get caught doing, if he did get caught there would be hell to pay.

As he went through each site he hacked his way into ANBU's computer system and what he found surprised him. There was a file on him and it didn't say he was their enemy, but he was instead their ally.

"What the hell?" He muttered under his breath as he looked over the information. "I was a part of ANBU?"

The pain he felt in his head before returned and he hissed from the throbbing that he felt. After exiting out of all of his research he left the room and headed into the bathroom down the hall. After he shut the door he turned his head to the side to examine why it hurt every time he thought about this girl or even ANBU, it happened earlier today when that girl hugged him at the Asylum. When he moved some of his hair out of the way he could see a faint scar present and he realized he didn't remember getting it.

So where did it come from?

Something is up, Sakura...is she telling the truth...?

"Damn it!" Naruto cursed as he hit the wall with the side of his fist. "How could we let her get taken?"

"Naruto it wasn't something we could control." Kakashi sighed heavily as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Yes it was, I shouldn't have left her alone."

"Naruto its not your fault."

"Kakashi, what do we do?" Naruto asked as his eyes became half-lidded.

"I don't know, we don't have clues to their whereabouts."

"Fuck. First Sasuke gets taken, he betrays us and now Sakura is gone too...what the hell man?!!" Naruto gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists as his nails dug into his palms.

"Calm down Naruto, we'll figure this out." Kakashi tried to reassure him.

"And if we don't?"

Kakashi had nothing to say as Naruto shook his head and left the office of his commander. The silver-haired male only sighed with frustration and turned to look at Shikamaru who was sitting at his usual spot typing away on his laptop.

"Anything?"

"No, we're back where we started, but now its not only Sasuke we need to worry about," Shikamaru said as he turned in his chair to face him.

"Can things get any worse?"

At the moment, Tenten came through the door. "Kakashi, Lee is going to be in the hospital for awhile, his collar bone is broken more severely than we thought."

"Well that answers my question," Kakashi muttered to himself before addressing Tenten. "Thank you Tenten."

She nodded and left as Kakashi turned to look at Shikamaru. "Well sitting around isn't going to get us anywhere, lets begin searching again."

Shikamaru nodded and went at the search, he would use every little piece of information he had, they couldn't hide forever.

Sasuke walked around the area of their new hideout, he looked up when he spotted Kabuto and Orochimaru walking towards him. When Orochimaru spotted him he had a grin come to his lips before they stopped a few feet from each other.

"Sasuke, I heard you prevented Zaku from raping a girl he took from the ANBU team."

"Yeah what of it?"

"Is there something about her that...you recognize or something?" Orochimaru raised a brow at him.

Sasuke thought it was a little suspicious that he would ask that, but he couldn't let Orochimaru know he was right so he opted to lie. "No, just thought I would have her to myself, if you know what I mean." Sasuke faked a smirk as Orochimaru and Kabuto laughed.

"I see, well I'll be in there in a few minutes to check on this girl, I'd like to ask her some questions, and if you have shaken her up a bit by raping her yourself, than she should talk."

Sasuke inwardly cringed as he said that, he would never rape a woman in his life, if he did he would kill himself. As the two men walked away Sasuke headed back to his room rather quickly and when he got inside he looked to see Sakura sitting on the floor.

She looked up at him, and he saw that her eyes were red. He shut the door and went to kneel down to her. "We've got a problem."

"What?"

"My boss is coming in here to ask you some questions because he thinks I raped you myself and he sees that as an opportunity to get some answers out of you."

"And you said you did?!"

"I'll explain later, but we need to..."

"Make it look like you did rape me." She finished for him.

"Yeah..."

"And how do we do that?"

"Well you were already crying so that should add to the illusion, and tear your clothes a little," Sasuke said.

"But this is your shirt." Sakura pointed to the material around her torso. "Won't that give something away?"

Sasuke bit his lip and her eyes widened when she realized the only alternative. "No, I'm not removing my clothes."

"Look, you can use the sheets and blankets from my bed to cover yourself up." Sasuke said. "If you don't, they'll know I lied and-"

"You're trying to protect yourself." She cut him off.

"No, look I know how these guys work, if they find out I didn't do it, they will take you and rape you themselves."

Her eyes widened as she bit her lip.

"Will you make sure they won't touch me?"

He nodded and she stood up with his help before they walked over to his bed. She shook with fear as she looked into his eyes. "I won't let them touch you." He promised her as she gave a nod.

Turning his back, Sakura began to remove her clothes, starting with her shoes then her shirt and and pants before lastly taking off her under garments. She crawled under the covers and clutched the sheet to her chest.

"O-okay." She stuttered as Sasuke turned to face her, the sight of her bare shoulders made him blush slightly.

He shook his head and moved to scatter her clothes and turned to her again. "Huddle yourself on the bed, and when they come in, just start shaking and crying."

She nodded as he went to sit against the wall near the bed after grabbing his sword and a rag with some polish. He pretended to clean his sword as a knock sounded on the door. Sakura did what she was told and laid down and began to shake as the door opened to reveal Orochimaru.

He gazed over at the female on the bed as a sinister smile played on his lips. "Well I see you weren't lying, not that I thought you were though."

After he cast a glance at Sasuke he sauntered over to Sakura's side. "Well, I have some questions for you, and you do best to answer them unless you want Sasuke to do to you what he did before."

Sakura only let out a few cries and huddled herself against the mattress as she started to shake. Orochimaru made a move to grab the sheets but Sasuke grabbed his attention before he could.

"I could ask her the questions for you, you have to admit I am intimidating, I'm sure I can get her to talk with more ways than one," He gave another fake smirk as Orochimaru's lip curled into a grin.

"Very well Sasuke, here is a list of questions, get detailed notes, I need as much information as I can get." Orochimaru handed him a slip of paper to him.

Sasuke nodded and took the paper from him as he set his sword aside.

"Get that to me as quickly as possible."

Once Orochimaru left Sakura waited a few seconds before sitting up in the bed clutching the sheet to her chest like she had before. She turned to Sasuke who was staring at her and she immediately turned red.

"Uh, can I get my clothes?" Sakura asked the blush darkening.

Sasuke shook his head lightly since he was staring and got up to grab her clothes and handed them to her. He turned his back to her again as she got dressed rather quickly, once she was finished she called his attention and he turned to look at her.

"I need to ask some questions, and its not what my boss has in mind, its about you and me," Sasuke said, "I did some research but its up to you to fill in the pieces and whether or not I believe you."

Sakura sighed and sat down on his bed as he sat down next to her.

"Okay, ask away."

Orochimaru walked into his office and sat down on his chair as Kabuto stepped into the room. He had his elbows resting on his desk with his hands interlocked near his mouth as his eyes expressed some inner thoughts.

"Sir, is everything okay?" Kabuto asked him as he came to stand in front of the desk.

"That girl was Sasuke's girlfriend back in ANBU, I'm starting to wonder if she is getting to him, what if he starts to question me?" Orochimaru glared angrily. "I won't have that bitch ruining what I worked so hard to create."

"I don't think we'll have a problem, that chip in his head will prevent him from remembering who she or any of the others are." Kabuto assured him, but Orochimaru wasn't one to be fooled, especially by a piece of technology that failed many times before.

"Sasuke isn't stupid Kabuto, he won't need to remember them to betray us, if Sakura convinces him that he is part of ANBU he won't hesitate to come after us," Orochimaru paused before continuing, "We don't need him on their side, after all the training he's gone through he could take us down very easily, not to mention he knows more about us than we do about ANBU."

"We'll just have to keep an eye on him," Kabuto told him as he pushed his glasses up with his index finger, "And besides, we still have Madara."

"Madara doesn't know anything current on ANBU, all we have is outdated information, who knows if they've changed their tactics since he was there." Orochimaru stated. "But I'm afraid its too late."

"What do you mean?"

"Earlier, when I went into his room, he wasn't the same Sasuke that we had him trained to be."

"Well then, I think its time to remind him who he works for." Madara said as he came into the room with a smirk on his face.

All is lost again, but I'm not giving in
I will not bow, I will not break

A/N This wasn't too bad was it? I hope not, anyway, please read and review. ^_^
