"Sorry?!" Sasuke looked up at Orochimaru, his usual cool composure slipped and his face is shock. "How the hell is that a mission?! What do you expect me to do?!"
"Well now Sasuke" Orochimaru, never breaking his gaze with Masayu "surely you're old enough to know where babies come from-"
"-Dont get smart with me. This isn't a mission, this is something that you can do in your lab." Sasuke steps towards Orochimaru, hand on his katana ready to draw.
The words were spinning round Masayu's mind. The current conversation just background noise to her own fears. 'How can they just bring me here to do this. This is sick. Inhuman..' True she was of age but she had dreams of becoming a great Shinobi, not mothering the future vessel of an evil madman.
"It's up to you, the choice is carry out my orders as requested and you gain the power you seek as promised. Or - I kill you both and take the powers from both of you and implant them into a suitable candidate. True it is more difficult, and it would be a shame to lose you Sasuke, but then I wouldn't need to wait years in order to use them. The choice is yours"
Masayu's mind was still reeling. She felt herself grow hotter and hotter. The room almost seemed to spin as she felt herself grow more powerful. Her chakra slowly building, her skin regaining colour and her eyes flashing with a new sense of life.
"I'd like to see you try and kill me" In a heartbeat Sasuke launched himself forward katana drawn and aimed at Orochimaru's neck. "You don't threaten me"
Orochimaru just stood there, slowly shaking his head. "now child, you still have so much to learn" he snapped his fingers and ninja leapt out of the darkness and in front of his blade. "I have people willing to lay their lives down for me. And I have more power than even you have witnessed." Right before her eyes his body turned into a giant snake and wrapped itself around Sasuke, constricting him until his hold on his blade weakened. Sasuke's eyes suddenly flashed red and he tried to fix his gaze on Orochimaru's eyes. "Don't think I'll fall for that little trick" he says as he wraps himself higher and higher so he's eventually covering Sasuke's face. In the chaos Masayu's shackles were knocked over, now with more energy and a chance to escape she allows the cocoon to encase her body. Safely inside she rolled away into the darkness and away from the chaos.
Once the noise had died down and she thought she was far enough from danger she pocked her head out of her haven. As her eyes adjusted to the change in light again she could see she was in a long, dimly light corridor. High ceilings like the other room, but at least here the light just managed to reach them. Totally releasing herself from the shell she leant against the wall and allowed the stone to cool her skin, looking around the corridor seemed to have no end, and no possible doors to exit through. The beads of sweat on her brow faded and she finally got the energy to stand, so using the wall to support her she moved along the never-ending passageway. Her mind was racing, at once she was glad to have the power inside her to source chakra when she was in a bind. The cocoon was just an extension of this. In her village she had been charged with looking after the princess as she was the last in her family to posses the power of the Crystal Cocoon, the heirloom after which her village was named. She had forsaken the riches and power of being princess to take an active role in protecting what she still thought of as 'her people', after the choices of her father she had some making up to do to them.
Having been lost in her thoughts she had no idea how long she had been walking for and she fell to the floor again, legs weak and mind confused. Sitting trying to catch her breath she looked about, it looked exactly the same as it did when she started walking! She looked for a landmark, odd coloured brick, anything to help her determine if she had moved or not but there was nothing. "You really think you can escape?" the voice feels as though it's all around her, coming through the walls, hanging heavy in the air. "You've been walking for close to an hour now and yet haven't moved an inch" She gasped and scrambled to her feet as a figure starts to materialise before her. His round glasses catching the light. He moved towards her but she couldn't run, couldn't move, all she can do is fall back onto the wall. As he moves towards her she feels heavy, all her limbs refusing to respond. "You've been trapped in my little genjutsu. You've not got any closer to escape, nor any further from danger." He's now upon her, his arm resting on the wall beside her head and masked eyes staring her up and down. Her stomach turns as he leers and moves his face in to hers. "So you're Orochimaru's little plan are you? I must say, he has better taste than I though. Although with that Uchiha boy? I'm sure I could make a better candidate..." he brushed the back of his hand over her cheek and let it rest there for a moment. Trying to muster any ounce of strength to break the jutsu he has over her Masayu just feels empty. Nothing is happening. "Dont bother trying to get away, I know how your little powers work and right now I'm blocking them. You're. Totally. Defenceless." He smirks and his glasses catch the light again. His hand now moves to her hair and strokes it, gently before grabbing a handful and giving it a slight tug. Seeing no way out her green eyes start to fill with tears, something they've not done in many years. She can feel his body start to press against hers, pinning her to the wall. "I'm going to teach you a thing or two before that boy gets hold of you..." She shuts her eyes to block out the sight of his face as he moves in closer to hers.
