A.N-Hey there! Some of you may think that the last chap. was sad, but if you want a story, you got to have problem. But they'll be saved. Disclaimer: I own nothing except the story and characters I make up.

Fumiko woke up to a flickering light. She found out the light was a candle. Then she surveyed her surroundings. She was in one part of a big room, one that stretched on and on. There were pillars supporting the ceiling and a closed door to the side and more pillars behind her. She tried to move her arms, but found she could not

Suddenly something occurred to her. Frantically, she looked at her waist and was relieved when she saw that the pouch of sand was still there. But as she looked around more, she was horrified to see Uzumaki Emi there. They go her too? The Hokage's daughter was still unconscious.

"Bastard." Fumiko muttered.

"Is that what you think, now?" The girl's head whipped around to see her captor and a new guy. She had never seen him before, but it was obvious by the way the newbie brushed by his companion, he was the leader, probably the Orochimaru guy Fumiko's opponent had mentioned earlier. She glared at them.

The Orochimaru guy had black hair, black eyes, and probably a black heart if he had one. But the sickening part was that he did, that he was alive, that he walked and talked and breathed and lived. He didn't deserve to.

Orochimaru had silver earrings and a tan kimono with a purple bow on the back. The girl was frightened, but her expression was blank, like her father's.

"Don't let them see your emotions." He had said.

"Your enemies will use it against you. But even though a shinobi mustn't show their emotions, they must protect those they love with their whole being. Protect those you love with your whole being, Fumiko, and you will be strong." Gaara's words came back to his daughter as her thoughts and feelings strayed to Emi. What if they attacked her? Due to her current state, the Leaf nin wouldn't be able to protect herself. Then another one of Gaara's lessons came to her.

"Sand shinobi are good at what they do, but all shinobi must follow this rule: Protect those you love and show those who would do them harm the true meaning of strength."

Whatever jutsu Fumiko's limbs were under was starting to fade. Orochimaru smiled evilly (A.N- Well what else do you expect?) and said,

"Well, Subaku no Fumiko, do you want that fight now? Kabuto would gladly fight you." He pinched her cheek, which she quickly smacked away.

"Just don't waste Shukaku's chakra, alright? It would be such a shame if we had to test Emi over here first. Where would the fun be in that?"

"Stay away from her. If you want screams, I'll wake the dead, but you're not touching her. Not while I'm around." As she talked, Fumiko had begun to create a sand barrier between Kabuto and Emi. Orochimaru noticed this and nodded to one of his henchman to take her pouch away. But as he moved to do so, he was stopped by the girl's sand. Fumiko was smirking.

"You guys are idiots for not taking this away from me before. Now let us go or I'll kill him." She glared more.

"But you don't care, do you, you son of a bitch? You just use people like pawns, right? So if I kill him you'll just find some other idiot to take his place. Besides, I can't waste my energy on him. The only reason I'm here id because your number-one idiot id fast. Oh well. Better late than never, right?" That's when she lunged at Orochimaru, her whole personality changed. Her eyes were black with yellow specks. Shukaku had taken over as Fumiko's anger and bloodlust grew. She would win. She was out for the kill.
