Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Chapter Fourteen

Sana's POV

She slowly opened her eyes just as her head started to pound in the back of her head. 'Why does my head hurt?' She thought, feeling a bit foggy from sleeping for so long. She stared up at the brown ceiling above her. 'I must have been sleeping for a long time. Why didn't Naruto wake me?' She continued to stare, not really thinking about anything in particular. 'Maybe he...' She paused on her thought and frowned. She was staring at a ceiling... the last thing she remembered was being outside.

Any form of sleep that had been lingering around her vanished as she bolted to a sitting position. Sana looked around her surroundings and realized everything was unfamiliar.

'Where the hell am I?' She thought. 'Where's Naruto? I couldn't have been out for more than a day. He wouldn't have been able to find any shelter that fast...' She was sitting on a rock hard bed in a medium side room. The walls were made of earth, like someone carved into the earth. It was dark except for a few candles that were scattered around, being the only light source she could detect. Her eyes had no trouble adjusting to the faint light. Last but not least, when she tried to get up off the bed to explore, something held her back.

"What?" She turned and looked behind her. A dark metal chain was around her wrist which was connected to the wall. She couldn't move very far with the chain on her, even when she tried using force to try to get away. Wiggling her wrist to break free and trying to get it off with her other free hand did no good either. What was going on?

"No matter what you try, you won't be able to break free." A calm, male's voice said, causing Sana to freeze up for a second.

Turning around so quick that most people would have gotten dizzy, Sana narrowed her eyes as she sought out the person who spoke. She could have sworn she was the only person in here. Sitting in the darkest corner of the medium sized room was a man sitting down on a simple wooden chair. He has silver hair pulled back into a pony tail and big round glasses that hide his eyes whenever the light hit his face. He watched her with a curious expression.

"Who are you?" Sana growled. Rule one she learned from Naruto was that when you were alone and chained to a wall, don't let your guard down. Already, she could feel bad vibes coming off of this guy so there was no way her guard was going down or away for that matter. "Where am I and where is Naruto?"

The man smirked and stood up from his chair. He stretched a little and introduced himself, "My name is Kabuto, you are in Orochimaru's lair, and as for Naruto, he should be here soon." He said, answering all of the questions. He walked towards her in a calm fashion.

Sana furrowed her eyebrows as she thoughts got tangled up. "Why am I here though? H-how did I get here? Last thing I remembered was falling asleep on Naruto's back..." She trailed off.

"You are full of so many questions," Kabuto said but he didn't looked annoyed, just amused, "But don't fret, they will all be answered n due time." He pushed his glassed up on his nose, flashing his blue eyes before continuing to talk, "While you were sound asleep, your brother lost track of you. There was a big fight over you, but he lost and we managed to take you from him."

"Why?" Sana asked, unnerved by a new feeling that started to squeeze her on the insides. "Why do you want me for?"

Reaching the bed, Kabuto stopped and stared straight in the teens green eyes, "Why wouldn't we? You're very powerful with that unique chakra of yours. We'll need someone like you."

"For?"

He smiled in a creepy way, "Orochimaru's army of course."

Finding this to be the perfect time to stall and gather information, Sana questioned, "Why is he making an army for?" She didn't like where this was going either. Keeping his eyes trained on hers, the teen slowly had her other hand disappear from sight. At the same time, she slowly started to pour some chakra into her necklace.

"Well, for many reasons." The medic ninja said, being oblivious to her movements. "Besides just getting payback, we also need to 'visit' Sasuke Uchiha."

Sana frowned. The few stories that her brother told her about his friend came to mind. As his words were being repeated in her mind, she suddenly realized who she was dealing with.

"Orochimaru..." She whispered and her eyes widen a little. She mentally slapped herself from not realizing that out earlier. How could she be so stupid?

Kabuto looked at her with a curious look. Then he smiled once again, "Ah, so you've heard of him. No doubt Naruto has informed you about him."

"Whatever you're going to do, you won't get away with it!" She suddenly yelled at him. Without giving any warning, she started glowing a dark color of blues and purples. White specks surrounded her, reminding Kabuto of being outside at night and watching the stars.

He didn't look fazed though. If anything, he had a look of interest locked on his face. "So this is your Lunar chakra," he said, using the scientific name for the moon. He felt the power radiating off of her and grew excited, though he tried not to show it.

Sana glared at him. The chakra floating around her flowed in one quickly, fluid motion and surged to her wrist that was chained to the wall.

Time seemed to slow down. One moment, the chain was still intact and in the next, the chakra seemed to freeze the metal to where Sana barely moved her wrist and the chain shattered into thousands of pieces. With the chain no longer bounding her to the wall, Sana was on her feet with a kunai in her other hand.

Kabuto had only enough time to deflect the kunai with his own he managed to receive from his pact before Sana's weapon pierced his skin. From the time he was defecting the one weapon, his guard slipped and Sana jumped past him, running towards the door.

She pulled the door opened, using all of her might against the heavy metal door and took a sharp left when she reached the hallway. To be honest, she didn't know where she was going, but taking a right would have been just like taking a left; you don't know where the exit is until you look. As she ran, she was trying to remember what the Leaf village looked like so she could teleport there. She knew for a fact Naruto would still be there and for some reason, she had a hunch that Gaara and Temari and Kankuro were there too. She didn't know how she knew, but she just did.

Just as an vague image came to mind, she rounded a corner and ran straight into someone.

The person grabbed her shoulder with a relaxed grip.

"Nn! Get off!" Sana tried to bat away the hand. But just as she tried, the hand tightened and wouldn't budge, it was like iron. She tried to turn around, thinking it would be easier to escape, but she became trapped in the two way hallway. Kabuto came walking the way she had just came, a calm feeling around him even though he had let her escape.

"Lord Orochimaru," he bowed to the man holding Sana by the shoulder. He came to a stop a couple of feet from the two.

Sana stopped moving for a second and turned to her captor. She immediately agreed with Naruto, this man was number one on the creepy list.

Orochimaru wasn't smiling, nor was he frowning. He looked towards his (lieutenant?) and asked in a chilling, but calm voice, "And? How was it?"

Kabuto smiled and nodded his head as he took a peak over at the teenager, "Incredible. It's like something I've never seen before. It will be quite useful for what you have planned."

Realizing that her escapement was all part of a plan, Sana tried furiously to get away, "Get off!" She yelled. She wished she could just teleport out of here, but with Orochimaru holding onto her, it wasn't likely. She refused to show her gift to anyone other than those who cared about her and she caring about them.

She struggled in his tight grip. Everything she tried failed against him. She couldn't even access her chakra for some reason. She felt weak against him and all he was doing was holding on to her without showing any sign of struggle himself, even though she was giving it her best. Was it because she was still exhausted from that poison that was in her system? She still had to recover from it not to mention the side effects.

The snake ignored her and said, "And the operation, when will it take place? I want to see her power for myself and I doubt she'll do it willing for me right now."

'Operation?' Sana thought, a feeling of dread entered her mind.

Kabuto glanced over at Sana and looked her up and down, causing her to stand there in a tense, uncomfortable situation. "I was going to wait until Naruto made it here so it would be easier to erase both of their minds," the two shared a look that was to complicated to read, "but if you'd like, I could do it in two days for her. I would just have to get the appropriate things ready."

Sana's eyes widened. She thought over what was just said as her hand reached into her pouch on her hip and dug out a flash bomb. She made little movement so the other two wouldn't know what she was doing. Both men were talking to each other and looked to be engrossed with their conversation to notice anything else going on, so now would be the time for a distraction.

Slowly, she moved her hand a little so she would have good force for when she threw it down it would explode. As soon as she was ready, however, the paper disappeared from her hand and someone spoke.

"For powerful people, you sure are stupid."

Orochimaru stopped talking to Kabuto and turned around, still having an iron grip on Sana's shoulder. He smiled, "Antigone, (an~tig~e~ne) a please seeing you."

Said name was walking towards them with an annoyed expression on her face. She had blonde hair pulled back into a tight bun on top of her head. Her purple eyes were narrowed and had a bored look to them that fit her expression. She had on a short, purple kimono with white doves printed all around. Black knee high boots completed her outfit.

"Yeah, whatever," was her answer.

A spark of anger filled Kabuto eyes as he said to her in a tight voice, "You should address him with respect, since he is your boss. And for your information, we already knew what she was doing; using a flash bomb to blind us, hoping that Orochimaru would release her so that she could teleport out of here."

Sana felt a cold sweat trickle down the back of her neck. Temari's words from a practice session a long time came to mind, 'Never under estimate your opponent, even when they get distracted. They always know whats going on around them, even if they don't. Especially if they are experienced ninjas.' She mentally slapped herself for being so dumb. Trying once more, she tried to get out of his grasp by moving and batting his hand away, but nothing would work; it was the same as before.

"Hush, Kabuto," Orochimaru silenced the man next to him. Said name bowed his head and shut his mouth, though he cast Antigone a hate filled glare. Orochimaru looked to the woman and gave her an apologetic smile, "What can we do for you?" He practically purred.

"Just taking a walk when I heard voices," She yawned and looked over to Sana before adverting her gaze back to Orochimaru. "So, when is the ambush war thing taking place? Most of my men are getting restless." 'Not to mention I am too,' She thought.

Orochimaru smiled once more and told her, "Once the nine-tails arrives, we'll start to prepare."

Sana growled out, "He won't come here!"

The three looked over at her and the man in charge simply said, "Oh, I'm pretty sure he will, Sana Uzumaki. He'd do anything to make sure you're safe, even if that means getting himself hurt."

She opened her mouth to say something when something hard came in contact with the back of her head and she was out like a light.

Kabuto caught her and said, "I still don't understand why we brought her here if you're just going to release her."

Orochimaru turned around and said before he walked away, "I want to see what she and Naruto are capable of now. We haven't seen nor heard from the nine-tails for so long, I know he has managed to learn some new jutus. I just want to see what I'm up against."

Kabuto stared after his master and once he was out of sight, Antigone commented, "He doesn't seem like the type to get to know his opponent."

"He's not. I wonder what he's planning."
