Chapter eight

Bad idea

A/N: sorry but I'm slightly fast-tracking this, if you get lost, review or message me. Oh and I need ideas!

When Eden awoke the next morning she almost cried. Sakura was gone, Apollo rescued her from being raped again, and when Orochimaru came back she'd probably get the isolation cell. She mentally slapped herself. She blushed as she thought of how Apollo found her. She had to talk to him but she didn't want to face him right then.

She grabbed a towel and clean clothes and headed towards the bathhouse.

She was drying her hair when Karin waltzed in. Eden mumbled some obscene remark about her under her breath.

"Where's the little pink haired slut at? Couldn't handle it here?" Karin piped up. Eden just continued drying her hair.

"Are you going to answer me?" Eden shook her head. Karin couldv'e blown smoke out of her ears, she was that pissed. "Your nothing but a stupid whore anyway, I cant believe any of the guys like you, your ugly too."

Eden walked up to to the other girl til they touched noses.

"You are one stupid skank, the only reason I haven't wasted you yet is because my dad would place me in solitary and you're not worth three days of abuse. And I don't know where Sakura is. We had a disagreement and she hasn't come to talk to me." Eden picked up her towel. "And before you say another word. I hate your guts and hope you go through everything I've had to and I hope you burn in hell." She pulled her hair into a messy bun and walked away, another tear falling.

Apollo mentally slapped himself. How could he have been so stupid? He knew something bad would happen if he left, it was bad enough she was almost raped, but it was the fact his cousin was the one attempting to rape her. Damn you Kabuto! he heard someone move behind him, he whipped around to see who it was.

"Eden?"

She grimaced when he said her name. "I wanted to thank you again, for helping me last night. I don't know what I was thinking," she was grasped her left arm and bit her lip before continuing. "I wanted Sakura out of here so Kabuto and my father wouldn't do to her what they did to me." She choked as the tears fell.

"I have no one now, I gave up the only friend I had to protect her. I never wanted to let anyone in, but I trusted her and it felt good to take care of someone, not just myself. She's like the child I'll probably never have." She dropped her head and turned to walk away. Apollo jumped and grabbed her shoulder.

"Wait! Eden, you can trust me, I won't hurt you."

Eden turned to him. "You don't know that." She looked up at him.

He dipped his head close to hers. "Let me prove it to you." He kissed her softly. He pulled away and looked into her eyes. She touched her lips with her fingertips. She couldn't find a word to say.

"I won't hurt you Eden," he repeated. "Even the protecters needs someone to watch over them. What my cousin does is wrong and I wont let him do that to you anymore." She shook her head. "I don't think I'll ever be able people and if I do it would never last long," Apollo smiled sadly and stepped back.

"Don't leave me Apollo, Please." She pleaded quitely. Eden placed her hands on his chest and he tilted her face towards his. He kissed her again and this time she kissed back. She wound her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. He obliged and held her close.

Someone behind them coughed annoucing their presence. They pulled apart and turned to the source.

Kabuto was leaning against the doorframe.

"Well isnt this just touching, sadly, you cant have her, you see she belongs to Orochimaru."

Eden looked stricken but she put on a brave front.

"I don't belong to Orochimaru and I don't belong to you, I belong to no one." She was shaking and Apollo noticed but didn't say anything. Kabuto walked slowly up to them both. "Tell that to Orochimaru." He dared her.

"I have."

"And what did he do then, Eden?" he smirked when her lip tremble. He stepped closer. Apollo cut him off but Kabuto just pushed him aside.

"What did he do to you Eden? Don't you remember?" Kabuto asked her.

Her head dropped and a sob escaped her throat. "I- I never wanted any of this! He told me I owed him, being here wasn't my choice!" she covered her face with her hands and sank to her knees.

Apollo stepped towards Kabuto.

"That's enough Kabuto! Leave her alone, she doesn't deserve this."

Kabuto glared at the younger man. "Orochimaru will see to it that you get yours for messing with his property."

Eden's head shot up.

"No! Kabuto, don't!" tears were still on her face as Kabuto left the room without another word. She stood shakily and raced from the room, again leaving a very frustrated Apollo standing in her wake.

She slammed the door to her room with a resounding thud.

"Fuck! I am so weak! I let them see me cry again! Fuck you Kabuto! Fuck you Orochimaru! And fuck you, you stupid skank Karin! I hate you all! I hope you all fucking die and rot in hell, you stupid cocksuckin, bitch ass mother fuckers!"

She screamed again and puched the wall. She grabbed her secret box but she didn't just grab the blade.

She reached for the needle and ink as well. She carved a tattoo of a wilted flower on her ankle and used the needle to set the ink. She cried as she put this memory far away in deep recesses of her mind.

She wiped the blood and oozing ink from the ankle and stood. She grabbed her secret journal and drew the flower inside, she wrote the meaning next to it as well as the memory.

Wilted flower- losing what you just had.

I lost my first and only friend as well. I also lost the first guy I had feelings for. I have cried for my last time.

She closed the book and smiled.

She walked into Apollo's room. She saw him lying on the bed. She wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Apollo, get up!" she hissed at him. He jumped. "What the hell?!" he fell off the bed when started and was rubbing his head "What do you want? You ran out on me earlier, you do plan on explaining right?"

She glared at him. "Yep. I hate you. Anyway what happened earlier is going to get you in some serious trouble. Orochimaru, he, the only reason Kabuto is allowed to do whatever he wants because my dad says he can." Apollo was taken aback. "Orochimaru is your father?!" He was shocked.

"Not exactly, my mother died when I was born and my father never wanted me, so Orochimaru adopted me." She ran her hand nervously through her hair. "When he finds out what happened between us, he's going to hurt you."

The young man stood up. "What happened between us was nothing for him to get anal about. He probably won't even care." Once the words were out of his mouth, he regreted them. "Eden, I'm sorry." She shook her head.

"No, no. It's fine. Its also true. Orochimaru doesn't care about me, what kind of guardian lets his number one worker rape his supposed daughter." She bit her lip nervously. "He's going to notice she's missing."

Apollo shook his head. "You are so bi-polar. It'll be fine."

Eden seemed lost in thought for a few minutes so when she spoke, he was startled for a second.

"It'll be better for us both if we forget what happened between us." She stated, going back to their previous conversation.

"Kabuto is going to hurt you, and he'll keep hurting me again and again as long as Orochimaru says he can."

She walked away.

A/N:

Well I guess you could tell that was fucking lame, sorry, I have writers block but if I keep pushing it, it'll heal. Oh and its kinda just a filler anyway, Let me know how bad you thought it was.
