No school today. Thank Pein for snow days. c: I will share my happiness with an update!

I still don't own Naruto..

Megan's POV

I knew the torture was bad. But not this bad.

Getting needles stuck in me. Getting cut with kunai. I suprised we're all still alive. Orochimaru was being brutal on us. Though, I knew not to say anything. No matter how bad. We'd all be in trouble if I broke. Not just me, Autumn and Crysta; Akatsuki too. So I gotta be tougher, like Autumn and Crysta. I won't break..

Orochimaru chuckled."Are you trying to act tough like the other two?"He cooed, grabbing my chin and making me look up at him. I shuddered at how cold his hand was. He grinned down at me."Now then, will you finally speak like a good girl?"He asked. I replied with a half fearful-half angry glare.

He glanced back at Sasuke. Sasuke stood, walking over, kunai in hand. Orochimaru stepped back and let him loom over me instead."Tell us what you know. Now. I'm tired of your games."He ordered, holding the kunai to my arm. I shook my head. He glared, slicing down my left arm.

I think something snapped just then.

I let out an angry yelp.

I glared at him fiercely. He pulled his hand back, though seeming unimpressed. In fact, he smirked."Finally acting like a tough girl? How cute."He said sarcastically."Shut your fucking face you asshat."I snapped. This took Sasuke by suprise. Ever since I got here, I didn't speak at all, and showed how scared I really was.

But like I said. My own inner Madara took over. I guess I had enough of all of this.

"Watch what you say, brat. You don't know who you're talking to."He snapped at me. I glared.

"I know I'm talking to someone who needs to learn what the fuck he is actually doing. Torturing someone just for information to use against his own brother. Working for someone as low as Orochimaru. Abandoning his home and friends for power, just because he wants to kill his brother. I got news for you, Sasuke. We don't know anything about Itachi. You are just wasting your time. You are just making yourself seem more pathetic than you already are."

"Shut up."

"No, I won't! I got pushed around my whole life, I'm not about to give up on the one chance I finally get the courage to fight back for a change! My whole life, people had to fight for me. I fought back only once, and I thought I'd never do it again. And now I'm standing up for myself again, and I am going to, Goddamnit! You are just wasting your time on three, strong girls that will never betray the Akatsuki. We will never tell slimy, conniving bastards like you, Orochimaru and Kabuto anything."

I felt tears welling up in my eyes. Sasuke noticed this and smirked, only earning another glare."Go ahead, defend yourself some more."He said, crossing his arms. I choked out a sob, still glaring."Sh-shut up, you mean bastard with a d-duck's ass for hair!"I barked. Sasuke growled in annoyance."Shut her up."

"You can't f-fucking make me you bastards..!"I continued. I flinched as I felt a pinprick in my neck. Immediately it felt as if my throat was swelling up. I gasped, trying to breath properly. I realized I could actually breath just fine after a few seconds.

"That'll take your voice away for a few hours. Kabuto, take her back to the cell. She's useless until she can speak again."Orochimaru ordered.

As I was freed and dragged back to the cell..it felt like all that confidence I had was leeched out of me. I just continued to sob.

Soon I was back in our old, dirty cell.

Autumn came over to me."Megan, are you alright?"She asked. I shook my head. She glared daggars at Kabuto, who was walking away from the cell."What did they do?"She continued. I pointed to my throat, then shook my head. Autumn thought for a few seconds."Your voice? Can you speak?" I shook my head. Autumn growled in frustration."I fucking hate them. All of them."She stated. I nodded in agreement.

"I also heard you yell in anger, complete anger. Did you snap at them?"

I nodded, looking away. She grinned."Good. You need to stand up to people more. Show them not to mess with you, show them you're not who you seem."Autumn explained. I smiled, nodding. I looked over at Crysta; sleeping, as usual. Autumn chuckled.

"I remember when we were kids, in almost every class in school, we'd have to keep Crysta awake. She always just wanted to sleep all day. And when we didn't wake her up in time, the teacher would ask her a question and she actually answered correctly after processing some thoughts." I made a silent giggle.

Sometimes I wish we could go back in time. So we could re-experience our childhood, when we were all so carefree. Even though Crysta, Dawn and Autumn still are carefree..

"Megan, do you still remember sign language?"Autumn asked me. I thought for a minute or two then nodded, signing Yes. She sighed, "Good. At least we can still communicate. Do you know how long we have until you can talk again?" I signed out hours. She glared at the hall again. It would take a while to communicate since I could only finger spell. That's all Crysta knew, only knowing certain words that had it's own sign.

I flinched at the pain all over me."You relax Megan. You're in pain."Autumn said in monotone, still looking out into the hall. I nodded, curling up on the floor. Autumn continued, "If possible, sleep. It's starting to get dark out anyways." I nodded slightly, the pain growing. I tried my best to sleep.

A few hours later, both me and Autumn were awakened. Not by Kabuto or anyone else. But by Crysta; she suddenly let out a yell in pain. We shot up, thinking Kabuto or Orochimaru was here, hurting her some more.

There was no one other than us.

"Crysta, what is it?"Autumn asked as we quickly came over to her. She was curled up, one hand over her right ear."..My ear.."She said with strain in her voice. Our eyes widened."Crysta. Please don't say you have an ear infection right now.."I said, ignoring the pain coming from my still sore throat. She nodded, jolting in pain."I-it's draining..and I'm getting random jolts of p-pain from my ear..deffinately an infection.."She whimpered.

"I know you brought your earplugs with you to this world. I know you're cautious about getting water in your ear. How do you have an infection?"Autumn said."When I was tortured b-by Orochimaru.. I said I was-" She stopped mid-sentence to jolt and let out another yelp in pain. She caught her breath and continued, "I said I was tired as soon as I g-got there.. And he dumped freezing cold water on my head, almost directly in my right ear.."

"But it usually takes a few days after getting water in your ear to get the infection.."I said. Autumn nodded."You had to of gotten water in your ear a few days before we were captured." Crysta sighed, jolting again, this time screaming, "FUCK, IT HURTS!" She started to sob a little.

The most pain Crysta has ever went through were her ear infections. She told us that she's had this problem since she was five to seven-years-old. And her whole life, doctors told her over and over again she would grow out of her problems. But she never did.

"Do you have your ear drops at home?"I asked, worried. I hated seeing her in one of her infections. She nodded."As soon as we get home, immediately take them."Autumn ordered. Crysta nodded again, trying to stop herself from jolting in pain.

Then we heard footsteps. How I hated that sound as long as I was here..

"Fuck.. They heard me s-scream.."Crysta muttered. Autumn stood in front of me and Crysta. I sat in front of Crysta, since she was the most vulnerable right now. From the darkness in the hall, we saw a glow. At first, I thought it was a reflecting light off of Kabuto's glasses.

But the glow was yellow. Bright, neon yellow. And there was two of them. Slowly, a figure stepped into the very dim light.

It was Zetsu.

"Z-Zetsu?"I asked. He nodded. Crysta sat up, flinching at the pain."Girls, the others are on their way. You should all be out of here in a few hours. Promise."He explained quietly. I looked back at Crysta, then looking back at Zetsu."Please tell them to hurry, Crysta has an ear infection, and we're all just hurt pretty badly."Autumn explained. Zetsu nodded, phasing into the floor.

We all sighed, Autumn sitting down."We're getting out of here. Just a few more hours.."Autumn said. I nodded, smiling and letting some tears fall."H-hey, Autumn?"Crysta asked, laying back down. Autumn looked over at her."Hm?"

"How..are you being so strong right n-now?" Autumn sighed."I have to be. I can hide my pain. I'm actually in a hella lot of pain. But I'm doing my best to ignore it."She explained. We stared; she grinned at us. I smiled, quietly saying, "You're the best, Autumn."

"Don't mention it."She said. Crysta sighed shakily."J-just wait until I get my ear infection taken care of.. I'll sh-show you who's boss.."She muttered. Me and Autumn giggled. Even when Crysta had an infection, she still wanted to stay strong herself.

But our short moment of laughter immediately ended when we heard more footsteps.

This time, it was Sasuke."Who was yelling?"He asked, entering the cell. I looked away, Autumn snarling at him."That's none of your business."She snapped. I heard Sasuke sit at the other side of the room, slamming the cell door shut."That's not just why I'm here. Who were you talking to."He continued.

"No one, it was only us.."I lied quietly, looking back up at him. He was glaring at us from where he sat, Sharingan active. It reminded me so much of Tobi.

I miss Tobi.. I just want to get out of here, we all do..

"Liar. All three of you are a bunch of liars."Sasuke snapped. He looked over at Crysta as she let out another whimper of pain."What's her problem?"He asked. Autumn glared at him."Why do you care?"She asked. He rolled his eyes."I don't."He stated. After a few seconds of silence, Sasuke only watching us, Autumn finally spoke up, "Why the fuck are you still here? Aren't you supposed to be doing stuff little bitches usually do?"

"I'm staying here the whole night. I heard you talking to someone, two males were in here."Sasuke said. Crysta and I smirked slightly.

He doesn't understand Zetsu and his two personalities.

"Fine, it's your own doom."Autumn muttered. Sasuke glared."And what is that supposed to mean?"He asked. Autumn looked back at me and Crysta."Nothing. It's just that we are the wrong people to stay the night with right now."She said. Sasuke just rolled his eyes, seeming to ignore us."We're moving to another base tomorrow; a more secure, hidden base with more tools to use for torture."

I was too scared to go back to sleep. I didn't like Sasuke being in the cell with us. I only layed there, back towards him. Crysta eventually fell asleep, her whimpers and jolts of pain stopping as soon as she did. Autumn wasn't asleep, she was leaned against the wall next to me. I was curled up on the floor, too scared to sleep, barely moving at all. I wanted to talk to Autumn, but I didn't want to accidentally say anything important for Sasuke to hear. Plus Autumn was in her "serious mode" right now. I didn't want to bother her.

The pain from my still very sore throat was getting worse. I really wanted some water.. But I didn't ask.

After for what felt like forever, I finally forced myself to sleep.

But it wasn't for too long. I was woke up by an explosion.

I shot up, really scared. Sasuke woke up as well, running from the cell and down the hall."What the hell was that?!"Crysta exclaimed, clamping her hands over her ears. Autumn stood, running over to the door and listening."I hear...arguing.. Someone is scolding someone else."She said.

I went over as well and listened. My eyes widened as I heard the scolding, as well as the sound of a fight."What is it?"Crysta asked, coming over as well.

What we heard was Kakuzu and Sasori, scolding Deidara.

"KUZU!"She yelled, flinching and covering her right ear. Zetsu phased then through the floor outside of the cell. He easily opened the door."Why is the door easily opened?"Autumn asked."It's a chakra sealed door. You have to use chakra to open it."He explained. We nodded. Zetsu looked down the left side of the hall."Hey, the girls are down here!"He called.

Tobi, Kakuzu and Kisame came running. We'd run to them, but we were all still really sore.

I hugged Tobi as tight as I could, sobbing in his shoulder."We're so glad you're alright.."I heard Kisame say."Not really.. We'll explain what's actually wrong with us when we get home.."Autumn said.

We were all carried as they began back down the hall. At where Deidara probably exploded the entrance, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan and Itachi were battling Sasuke, Orochimaru and Kabuto.

"Let's go, we're leaving! There's no time to fight!"Kakuzu ordered. Hidan groaned, "Jashin-fucking damn it! I was enjoying myself, Kakuzu!"

I watched, Itachi being the last one to run off as he was having a stare-off with Sasuke. Tobi hugged me tightly as we started back to the base."We're going home.."Madara whispered. I nodded, nuzzling into his neck.

I never wanted to see Orochimaru again.

And that ends the Orochi-pedo saga. I'm glad, it took a lot of thinking to torture the girls. Plus I just hate Orochimaru, Kabuto and Sasuke, they didn't deserve to be in my story. But Sasuke will have to be when it's time for Itachi's fight. So Sasuke fangirls, you will be pleased when we get to the chapters for Itachi and Sasuke's fight.

Fun Fact:I really have those ear problems. I can't get water in my ear at all, or I'll get an infection. It's horrible. It's really painful, it drains this disgusting, sticky and thick liquid stuff, and my hearing from the infected ear is muffled. I hate it all..

A:Anywhozal, my fav. videogame is Mortal fucking Kombat. I love the games so fucking much, especially the newest one, Mortal Kombat 9. That, and the Call of Duty games. And Pokemon games. XD

Q:Hmm.. Favorite anime villain(s)? It doesn't have to be from Naruto.

Well, my peeps. Three days ago was the anniversary for I Miss My Evil Kitties. A year into the story, and we're only at thirty chapters.. I should really update more. XD We need to get this story rolling. I'll see all of you on the weekend with more updates of course!
