III: Rage
"Me?" Orochimaru looked shock for a brief second before he broke out into a smile.
"What is this about you and Danzo ganging up?! Why the hell was I not told about this?!" I roared.
"Ah. So Sai, or Kabuto, has told you."
"I deserve to know whatever the hell you're planning. Its like I've been kept in the dust ever since the brat Uchiha arrived!"
The arena shook under the force of my voice as I took an angry step towards Orochimaru, but I felt his disgusting snakes wrap around my legs, keeping me from coming any closer.
"Who're you calling a brat?!" Sasuke retorted.
In that instant I snapped my eyes to his, holding his gaze steady, about to perform my visual jutsu on the mongrel before he averted his eyes quickly.
"Shut up, Uchiha. Its because of you I'm being kept in the dust anyway!!"
"Quit complaining, Princess!"
"Now now. Don't get Miyako worked up any more than she already i-"
I broke free from Orochimaru's snakes, using my chakra to disappear from their sight.
Even this was something the sharingan couldn't see.
But because I'd been around Sasuke for almost three years, he could read my abilities pretty well.
Well, the abilities Father had inserted in me when I was his test subject.
I pressed my palm lightly on Sasuke's back as I heard his small gasp.
And then he was sent flying across the arena.
I turned my attention onto Orochimaru, but he wasn't there anymore.
I growled in annoyance, turning to go after Sasuke, only to be met by an unscratched Sasuke as an amused smirk played on his lips.
"I can read your moves, Miyako. There's no point in-"
I swung my foot up, kicking him in his junk.
His face turned red as he hunched over in pain.
"Maybe, but you can't read that, idiot."
I gasped when I suddenly felt a pressure applied on my back, as the chakra I had been emitting was drastically drained.
I crumpled on my knees, gasping for air as my body trembled.
Orochimaru had just drained me of my chakra, simply by writing a symbol on a small piece of paper, applying it to the center of my chakra control.
"Now now, darling. You understand fairly well why I had to do that, hm?" Orochimaru spoke above me.
I continued to pant hard as I stared at the ground, still in shock of how much that bastard held over me.
"I was getting out if control." I stated through clenched teeth.
"Good. We don't want that thing inside of you to take control of you now, do we?"
I clenched my teeth in anger, shutting my eyes as I sat there feeling weak. I hated that feeling.
"Sasuke. Be a good boy and take Miyako back to her room." Orochimaru said.
"No. We haven't even finished-"
"We'll have plenty of time for that later." I could hear the grin on that bastard's face.
When I felt Orochimaru's presence disappear, I let out an amused laugh.
"What's so funny?" Sasuke asked.
"That bastard still finds a way to keep stuff hidden from me even if I ask him directly."
When I felt Sasuke's hand on my shoulder I flinched away.
"Don't touch me." I snapped.
Instead of choosing to argue with me for another five minutes, he grabbed my arm, yanking me up into his chest, his other hand bringing my legs up.
"I said don't-"
"Shut up, princess." Sasuke snapped, shooting me a warning glare.
"Excuse me? Listen here, you piece of-"
"Orochimaru isn't telling you what he's planning because he's trying to keep you safe."
I frowned as Sasuke begun to walk out, holding me close to his chest.
"Doesn't sound like him." I said.
I watched his face as he walked us down the long halls, his expression as tense and annoyed as ever.
His eyes flickered down to mine as I flashed him a grin.
"Quit staring at me, you creep."
"You know, Sasuke, you'd be far more attractive if it weren't for that nasty personality of yours."
I smirked when I saw slight color flood into his cheeks.
"Aw. No come back?"
"I'm not gonna argue with you. Its pointless."
"Let me ask you a serious question, Sasuke."
"Fine."
"What do you plan to do after you finally kill your brother?"
A few moments passed as I watched his face twist in thought.
"I haven't thought that far."
"I think you should go back to Naruto."
He froze in his steps.
"I can never go back to him." There was a different kind of emotion swirling in his eyes that I couldn't understand.
"And why not?" I probed.
"I'm not having this conversation with you." He snapped before walking again.
I smiled, relaxing my head against his shoulder.
"I know you won't stay with Orochimaru forever. Naruto will probably end up killing him in the end." I said.
"The way you speak of your own Father amuses me."
"He's made a lot of enemies. He's obviously going to die. In fact, I'll probably end up killing him myself." I smirked.
"Hmph." I grinned when a small smirk formed on Sasuke's face.
I stirred awake to the slight opening of a door.
I had just fallen asleep in Sasuke's arms.
Hmm. How embarrassing.
"You're awake now, I see."
"How long was I out?"
"A few minutes."
"Geez. Orochimaru makes his hideouts ridiculously huge. All these halls and rooms for only four people. What an idiot." I muttered under my breath.
Sasuke said nothing as he made his way to my bed, laying me down gently.
"Sasuke." I called for him just as he was about to shut my door.
He glanced back at me.
"Why am I not in my room?" I asked him with a slight smirk.
But he didn't reply, shutting the door as he left me in utter darkness.
I sighed, relaxing back into the mattress.
Sasuke was a handful. It was like watching over a bipolar child. I mean, its not my place to speak since I am quite a handful myself.
Although Sasuke is the most annoying and rudest person I had ever come across, he was my only friend. Well, it was a hate and a less amount of hate relationship; there was no like or even love in it. The thought of liking him made me cringe in disgust. All the friends I had had, I killed, through the push of Orochimaru wanting to keep me safe and due to the fact that I didn't end up liking them in the end.
But Orochimaru wanted to keep me safe for his own reasons. He has plans for me, I knew that. Just like how I know he has plans for Sasuke. And that plan consisted of taking his life.
I didn't care at first. One more pointless life to dispose of.
But as I got closer to Sasuke over the years, I learned something...
He gets more egoistic, annoying, and rude over time. There were times when I tried to kill him.
Although I hated everything about him, I didn't want him to give himself to Father.
My life would be boring if he did, no more fights and arguments in my life.
Oh, how I hated living a boring life.
