A/N: Here's the next chappy! Enjoy!

Sasuke woke up suddenly to the sounds of something clanking onto the floor. He opened one eye a crack, hoping to catch a glimpse of his captor. Nothing. He opened his eyes all the way and glanced around the cell, searching for where the noise originated. His eyes focused on a metal tray on the ground. Hopping off his bed, he investigated the tray, seeing that it was a bowl of rice and some bread. He smirked at the implication behind it. They seriously still expected him to eat something from a place he didn't even know? It was laughable. He fell back onto the bed, still keeping his guard up just in case his captors wished to bring something else in. Not eating was seriously starting to take a toll on him. Not that he could actually risk eating when the food might be drugged, but, he would have to soon or he would die. He closed his eyes and tried to think of who would do this. Many people would, he concluded, but not many actually could. Anyone and everyone physically capable would have to be considered.
Date Masamune certainly was physically able to pull off something like this, but hiring ninjas and not challenging directly didn't really seem to be his style at all.
There was always the Devil King, but he wouldn't want to keep someone hostage for this long unless he had an agenda.
Kenshin? No, the Kasuga wouldn't have been fake.
He sighed in frustration. Who in the world would do this? He had absolutely no leads, except the fact that the Ninjas were clad in purple. Could a specific ninja village be after him? He rubbed his eyes, weary of the cell already. Better yet, why would they capture him and not question him? He has plenty of useful intel! He had been here for days, at least! As he mused, he noticed that the wall next to the tray seemed a bit…off. He leapt of the bed lightly and crept over to the crooked abnormality in the wall. Cautiously, he reached out a hand to lightly brush the wall, noticing it shift slightly under his touch. Now a sliver of stronger light than was in the room ran across the floor. He had found the door! He peeked through the hole, wanting to see what lay outside of the cell. His vision found a corridor that twisted out of sight. Outside was a standard looking guard, with his back to the door. Now would be his chance! He slid open the door silently and snuck up behind the guard. He swayed a bit, woozy from the lack of energy, but persevered as he slowly made his way to the guard. His chain clinked as it reached the end of his allotted freedom. Silently cursing, Sasuke watched as the just out of reach guard turned around at the noise.
A/N: please review if you liked it! I'm not sure when the next update will be, though. I am still trying to figure out what comes next. If you have any ideas, let me know! I might use them! :3
