Chapter four
That cant be right!
"What do you mean he's only going to be gone for less than a week?! He's always gone longer!" Eden was all out of breath after her outburst.
"I meant just that, why did you have plans? It hurts that you always try to avoid me, after all I'm making an effort to get to know you better."
Eden glared at Kabuto. "Why don't you do me a favor. Take your effort and shove it up you're a-…" She was cut off when Sakura burst into the room.
"Ooops! Wrong turn." She smiled shyly.
Eden rolled her eyes, "Don't worry I'll be there in a second." She started to walk towards the door when she stopped and grasped her stomach. Her eyes widened as her hand quickly covered her mouth. She bolted from the room at a fast speed.
Sakura looked at the empty space that just seconds before had been occupied.
She turned and made her way out of the room.
Eden's lunch managed to make it into the toilet. She stood and went to the sink to wash up.
She was leaving the bathroom when a tall guy ran into her. She fell flat on her ass and was not happy about it.
"Watch where you're fucking going, dumb-ass!" she said to the guy as she stood and brushed herself off.
He smiled awkwardly. "My bad, I'm kinda new here, and lord Orochimaru isn't here to help me." He told Eden.
"I'm sorry." Was all she said to that. He looked at her strangely. "Why would you be sorry for my being here?" he asked.
"Well I've been here since before I can remember. I can tell you right now it's not worth whatever he promised you." With that she turned and strode off leaving the young man very confused behind her.
"Well that was weird." Eden said to herself as she grabbed some clothes out of her drawer and headed to the bathhouse. She met Sakura at the entrance.
"It would seem my father found a new guy to come and work for him. He's way too excited about being here."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "His name is Apollo and he's a medic in training. Orochimaru probably told him he could train better here." It was Eden's turn to roll her eyes.
"Apollo? Like the Greek god?" She asked. Sakura nodded.
"Did you get a good look at him? He is amazing with a capital A. He's also really sweet."
Eden looked at her with a mildly amused look. "How long have you known he was here?" she asked the pink haired girl. Sakura shrugged.
"He's only been here for a few days, a week at the most." She stated as she slipped into the water.
Eden was about to follow when Karin came in.
"Kabuto says he needs to talk with you."
Eden looked at her with a bored expression. "Can't you see I'm busy?"
"He figured you'd say something like that, and he says to tell you Orochimaru will see to it that you will do as your told the first time." The girl smirked at Eden.
Eden threw her shirt back on, glaring at Karin all the while. She stopped as she neared her.
"Do you enjoy being the bearer of unwanted news?" she asked curiously?
Karin continued to smirk. "If it makes your life miserable then yes."
Eden smiled. "Thought so." She punched the other girl so hard she fell backwards. "Hope that helps our situation."
Kabuto smirked as Eden entered the room cautiously.
"What's the matter? Don't trust me?" he asked as she closed the door behind herself. She just glared at him dully.
"What the fuck do you want Kabuto? I hate you and think that all this therapy bullshit is annoying."
Kabuto looked at her. "So feisty. Don't get so mad, its not good for your condition." He told her.
Eden's attitude faltered a bit. She gulped.
"W-what condition?" she managed after a moment.
He smiled darkly. "Feeling sick lately? Missed something important?" he hinted.
Eden's breathing hitched. "That- It cant- I couldn't be!" She sank into the nearest chair.
Kabuto cleared his throat. She looked at him and her face blanched. He was gloating! She felt sick again. She covered her face in her hands.
"It's ok Eden. For once Orochimaru will think you did something right." He whispered into her ear.
Tears made their way down her face but she just sat there immobilized by the shock.
He placed his hands on her shoulders, and that seemed to wake her up.
"Don't fucking touch me!" she jolted out of her seat. "This is all you fucking fault Kabuto! I don't want your child!! Get it out!" she screamed at him. "I want this thing out of me!"
He didn't listen instead he pinned her against the wall.
"I don't think so Eden. You see, Orochimaru wanted this, he told me to do this to you. For what, I have no clue, but if anything happens to the kid now, he'll kill me and you." He told her.
"You think I give a fuck if you die?! I want to die! All the humiliation you and my father put me through has made me think of nothing but death!" She snarled. "Instead of violating me, you and Orochimaru should have just told me that was all I had to do to gain his appreciation! I would have done it willingly to avoid all the shit you put me through you bastard!" she yanked her arms away from him.
Kabuto looked at her with murder in his eyes.
"Don't look at me like that." She told him. "Don't ever come near me again. You do and I will kill myself."
She held her head in her hands as she walked aimlessly through the underground.
Sakura was starting to get worried. Eden could be in trouble and she would never even have a clue. She was looking around when she noticed the new guy.
"Hey! You! I need your help!" Sakura shouted. The guy made his way over to her.
"You need help with what?" he asked. Sakura stood there catching her breath.
"You're Apollo right? My friend is missing and I really need to find her." She looked at the man closely.
Like Eden, he had a strange tattoo on his shoulder blade.
"What does she look like?"
Sakura quickly ran a description by him. His eyes lit up as he remembered something.
"I think I ran into her earlier, she has quite a temper." He told the pink haired girl.
"I wouldn't doubt it, I really need to find her, she could be in trouble."
Apollo nodded and went on his way.
Sakura took off down the hall towards Kabuto's office. He looked quite shocked to see her in there for a second time that day.
"Anything I can help you with, little blossom?" Sakura glared at him.
"Where is she Kabuto? I can't find her anywhere." She demanded to know. Kabuto looked at an item in his hand boredly. "This might help you but I want it back." He said. He tossed the device to Sakura. She looked at it and noticed it was a tracking device. She looked at Kabuto with disgust and race back out of the room. She looked at the device and frowned. Eden was hiding in the basement.
Apollo was already heading towards the basement when he stopped suddenly. His head began to get fuzzy. He headed towards the source. Once he was in the basement he followed the sounds of someone crying.
"Anyone down here?" he called into the darkness. No one answered. "Eden?"
Eden heard her name and looked up. She recognized the voice. "Get away from me! Just leave me alone." She shouted at the intruder.
He looked at the stairs hesitantly. "your friend, the pink haired girl, she asked me to help look for you. She seemed pretty upset." He smiled slightly when he heard her curse and walk his way. "Why were you down here?"
She glared at him. "I was having a mental breakdown. It happens everytime something in my life gets fucked up." She walked past him towards the stairs. He followed.
Orochimaru, Kabuto, and a very uneasy Sakura were waiting for them as they came up. Orochimaru spoke first.
"Well my dear Eden, did you have fun with your little escapade? Also Kabuto told me of your condition. I'm glad you've finally done something right." He turned and strode away. Eden looked like she was about to cry. Kabuto smirked. "If anything happens now, you'll be the one who gets punished."
Eden glared at him, a single tear had made its way down her cheek. "This is all your fault Kabuto!" she snarled at him.
Kabuto just smiled. "I don't believe you've been properly introduced to my cousin," Kabuto put his arm around Apollo. "Eden this would be Apollo."
Eden smirked. "Wow, you guys don't look that much alike Kabuto." She glared at them both. "You both can do everyone here a favor, go fuck yourselves."
She grabbed Sakura.
Once they were in their room, Eden threw a book at the wall.
"Fuck! That stupid bastard! I cannot believe Orochimaru did this to me!" she screamed.
Sakura kept her cool. "What happened today?" Eden sank to the floor.
"I'm pregnant with Kabuto's child."
Sakura almost vomited. "Eden, I'm so sorry," the other girl cut her off.
"Don't be, my father is leaving tonite. Your still going to escape. But I have to stay here. I stole another map for you. It the village that you came from. Someone will recognize you. They'll take you in. if not go to the central tower, the leader of the village will spend most of their time up there."
"But, I cant- he," Eden cut her off again.
"Orochimaru will never know, I'll take care of things here." She smiled sadly. "Im sorry Sakura."
