This is an eventual SasukexSakura. Rated M for descriptions of violence and language. Very little graphic sexual content.

The story is accurate up to chapter 238 of the manga and contains spoilers.

"Sasuke," Sakura squeaked, her voice straining in panic. His red eyes loomed down over her, filling her with the familiar sense of inferiority. He lowered his sword.

"Sakura," he acknowledged. Sasuke's eyes shifted over to the small boy behind Sakura. She instinctively growled at him. He remained blank. "I finally located you," he said blandly. Sakura narrowed her eyes at him. Her heart beating fast, she wondered if Sasuke knew that Kenji was his son and was going to take him back to Orochimaru. Would he do that to his own son?

"What do you want?" she spat, covering her boy.

"Hmm. You have a son now. Whose is it?"

"Fucking tell me!" she snarled, smashing her boy against her chest. Kenji gratefully gripped her shirt, eyes wide and fearful.

"You." Sakura's eyes widened, and she knew exactly how he meant it. "Orochimaru is taking you hostage against Konoha. Naruto, the fool, is most likely still in love with you. He would do anything to get his lover back." By now, Sakura felt her body getting weak under Sasuke's gaze. Dammit!

"No," she said. "No."

Eyes narrowing in displeasure, Sasuke's lips turned downward a fraction. "You have no choice. Come, or I kill the boy." Kenji trembled against his mother's side. Sakura froze for a moment. She gritted down her teeth and made the hardest decision of her life.

"Okay."

OOO

"Mommy, I'm hungry," Kenji whispered, clinging to her like the child he was. They looked awful, bloodstained clothes, many cuts and bruises, dirty hair...oh, they looked like a stellar family of two. Sakura looked sympathetically down at the little boy.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart. I'm sure this son of a bitch will feed us soon." That got her backhanded across the face. She made no sound of pain, the only implication of her being slapped was a red mark forming on her face and an icy glare directed toward her attacker.

"Watch your tongue." And that was all the bastard said. THAT WAS ALL THE FREAKING BASTARD SAID!

"Glad to know you haven't changed," she stated coldly. "You still are a bastard. Chivalry is dead, huh?" Sasuke suddenly stopped in his tracks and started to walk toward Sakura, hands in pockets and eyes a deadly red.

"Listen here, woman," he rasped out in a dangerous tone, stressing her insignificance to him on that stupid word. "You mean nothing to me. I thought we had that established."

Sakura snorted defiantly. "Yeah. Next time you say that, maybe you should keep your cock in your pants!" She hissed so only the two of them could hear. At lightning speed, Sasuke's hand clamped itself around her throat, crushing her windpipe.

"Woman," he said again. "The only reason you live is because Orochimaru forbid me from killing you. Annoying idiot," he said calmly, hoping to scare Sakura enough that she would shut up.

A little foot kicked at his shin. "Let go of my mommy!" Kenji roared. Sasuke frowned. Those tiny kicks actually did hurt a bit. Irritated, he brushed the little boy off. Sakura pushed Sasuke's arm off her, not even gasping for breath. Instead, she went straight to her son. "Kenji, don't talk to him!" she warned the little boy. "He's not like normal bullies; if he doesn't like you, he will kill you." How ironic, Sakura thought. The one who gave her son bullies was being one now. Kenji, still hesitant, nodded. He figured that his mother knew more about this than he did, so it was best to listen to her at this moment. Covering her mouth, Sakura coughed out sickening, red liquid. She wiped it on her shirt, hoping to hide it from Kenji. It was a success. She knew at a time like this, it was important to seem strong in front of her son, or else he would break.

She would, too.

OOO

After two days and countless escape attempts, they stumbled upon a motel. Cheap and dirty looking. "Are we staying here for the night?" The stupid asshole was silent. "I'll take that as a yes," she grumbled, taking her son's hand in hers. The move was deceptively innocent.

In reality, he was passing a syringe to her, careful not to inject it into her skin. Sakura took it, and mercilessly, she slammed it into Sasuke's neck. He let out a shaky breath before collapsing onto his knees. Sakura smirked. Damn, did she love sedatives! She neared his ear. "See ya," she purred before scampering off with a very excited Kenji. Picking him up so he was cradled in her arms, Sakura blasted off at full speed, not caring if she was knocking anybody away. She knew if she jumped from the rooftops, he would spot her more easily. Not that it mattered.

Once she reached the border of the little town, he had already caught up. She gasped and prepared to turn back the other way. Too bad it didn't happen. Sasuke swatted Kenji from her arms, who landed with an 'oof,' and slammed her against the wall of a teahouse. She couldn't resist letting out a tiny grunt, her knees wobbling unstably. Bracing one arm on the side of her head, Sasuke caught her chin in an iron grip. The pink-haired woman moaned in pain, forcing herself to keep her eyes open to look straight into the monster's eyes. Despicable, she silently seethed. What did I ever see in him?

"Bitch!" he spat, his face mere inches away from hers. She glowered at him, a defiant gleam in her eyes. However, her chin was sure to bruise, but it didn't matter. She wasn't trying to impress him. "Once Orochimaru's through with you, you'll have me to deal with, and I won't be as nice as him." Sakura thought about biting him, but that would surely turn unfavorable in this situation.

"What could you possibly do to me?" she hissed, struggling against him. Damn it, she hated chakra depletion. "Kill me?" she mocked, throwing her head back to laugh. Sasuke's eyes flitted over to Kenji. She was silent at once, blood draining out of her face.

Oh, no.

"I will kill him if you don't cooperate. I fucking swear it, Sakura, and you know I won't feel any remorse. So don't push me," he finished with a sneer, releasing her from his death grip. Sakura trembled, but she still talked back.

"Swear to God?" she asked, her voice shaking.

"What God?" he said, stating it as if it weren't a question and as if he were the one who had complete authority and control over her. That was when Sakura knew that she was screwed.

OOO

"Oh, Sasuke. Faster!" Sasuke complied, driving in to her harder than her ever had. The woman beneath him cried out as she found release, causing him to withdraw. She panted in ecstasy, rolling over to face him. "I love it when you come to town," she cooed. "You should come more often."

"Hn," answered the ever stoic boy, dressing himself quickly. The girl pouted, propping herself up on one elbow.

"You know, if you took me with you, I could bear your children for you," she informed him. Sasuke snorted softly.

"You know I just come here for sex," he replied, completely dressed now. The girl frowned.

"Yeah, but-"

"No, buts. Now, I'm busy. So I have to leave." The girl draped blankets around herself and pecked Sasuke on the cheek, wishing him a safe journey. Little did she know was that was the last time she would ever be used by him again. Sasuke hopped into the motel room he rented. He had handcuffed Sakura and the brat to the bed post, knowing that with chakra cuffs, escape would close to impossible. Well, Sakura had angered him once again.

She had taken off with the bed post.

Sasuke growled in anger, using such force in a kick that it completely destroyed the wood working of the bed. That woman! How dare she defy him again even after that threat! He swore that he would do it this time. That brat had to go!

He got on the roof, scouting the city for her. He quickly spotted her, carrying her son like a baby. His eyes narrowed in sadistic pleasure, imagining how she would react when he killed him. He licked his lips once. Maybe then she would submit to him like she should have in the very beginning instead of challenging him. He leapt from building to building, rage bubbling up within him and threatening to burst out of him at any moment now. He landed right in front of them. Sakura gasped in horror, this time freezing in her tracks. Sasuke wasted no time. He seized the boy from her arms and kneed him in the stomach. A strangled grunt came out of the boy's lips. He then whirled around and threw the boy against the wall. A dull thud came before he dropped to the ground. He strode toward Kenji, intending to finish what he started.

That was before Sakura slammed the bed post over his head, exerting so much force that the wood splintered and broke. Sasuke's eyes turned red quickly, and he had a new target. He activated his Chidori and ran toward the girl, striking at her. She swiftly dodged and punched him in the shoulder, causing the male to wince slightly. She then grabbed his shirt and threw him forward, using the Judo throw. However, Sasuke rebounded quickly and flipped her over so he was straddling her, pulling out his sword and directing it toward her throat, only stopping when it was an centimeter away from breaking skin. Sakura struggled for breath, her hands clawing and collecting the dirt.

"Little bitch, I told you not to do that!" he spat, taking an eyeful of the bleeding boy. He was oddly getting to his feet, and it puzzled Sasuke to no end, but he had more pressing matters to attend to. He examined their position and smirked, leaning forward to press his lips near her ear. She froze, and Sasuke felt manly pride well up within him. He knew he had won. She wasn't lustful. No, that wasn't his goal. She was scared beyond her wits, and her body betrayed her. Only moving his mouth a centimeter, he whispered into her ear, "Funny thing is, five years ago WE were in this position. Only under different circumstances." Sakura felt her hands fisting up again but held it back. There was, after all, a sharp blade threatening to drive her through. How dare he be so degrading! She also felts sobs building up in her throat, but she refused to let them out. That would be showing weakness, and that would only give him perverted satisfaction. "One more time," Sasuke warned.

"And he's dead."
