XXXXV: Passion
Wake up.
I stirred slightly, ignoring my guardian's voice.
Wake up, Miyako.
I ignored her once again, enjoying the warmth that clothed me.
You've been asleep for four days. Wake up.
I sat up in an instant, the blanket falling off my body as I blindly looked around.
I was no longer chained up in that cell, instead in a cozy room with torches and candles dimly illuminating the room.
In an instant I knew I was in Sasuke's room. One, I could smell him and sense his chakra, and two, his sharingan eyes were watching me from a dark corner on the opposite side of the room.
"How are you feeling?"
"Why am I here?"
"Would you rather be back in the cell?"
I sighed, laying back as I ran my fingers through my short tangled hair.
"I don't feel good."
Sasuke emerged from the dark corner, his sharingan eyes dispersing as he stepped into the dim light. He stood before me in nothing but black trousers and his Akatsuki coat unclasped, huge bags under his eyes.
I looked away from his intense gaze as he continued to walk closer to me.
"How long have you been here?"
"Four days."
"That's creepy." I said, following it with a nervous laugh.
"I couldn't leave you unattended."
"You should've had Jugo watch over me."
"Nonsense."
"You look horrible."
"As do you. Jugo prepared a bath for you." He said, bending over the bed as he wrapped me in his arms.
I allowed him to lift me up as he wrapped his Akatsuki coat around my bare skin, laying my head against his shoulder. The warmth of his skin seeped into my own as I felt the numbing pain in my body relax.
Moments later we walked into a similar room we were just in, except that there was a bath in the center of the room, overlooking a hot spring.
"How romantic." I said as he placed me on my feet.
"If you need anything, Jugo will be outside your door. I have some business to attend to."
And with that he was gone.
I happily removed the new change of clothing from my body, trying not to picture if it was Sasuke who changed me out of my black tattered outfit, as I dipped into the hot bath. I sighed as I relaxed into the water, leaning my head back to get my short hair wet.
Out of everything that had happened to me recently, I was most of all upset about my hair being chopped off when I was defending Lord Eight Tails.
But look what happened to him now.
I took a bar of soap and lathered it on my face, just as I heard footsteps enter in.
I quickly rinsed the soap off my face, turning my head to meet intense purple eyes.
"Pain?"
"You're awake." He said.
"What are you doing here?"
As soon as that question escaped my lips as I gasped, jolting on my feet, not caring that I was standing naked in front of Pain.
"Jugo-"
"Is fine. I just merely knocked him out for a while." Pain drew out a towel from his side, throwing it at me.
"What do you want from me?" I snapped.
"I heard Madara Uchiha almost got to you." He said as he watched me with empty eyes, wrapping the towel tightly around me.
"Well, he didn't. So get out."
"I was unaware that you told him who you really were." He continued on.
I stepped out of the tub, wringing my hair out as the water dripped onto the ground.
"I didn't. He apparently knew all along."
"Hmph."
"Is that all you wanted? May I now resume my bath?" I asked in annoyance.
"Watch out for yourself."
"Is that your version of saying that you care about me?" I asked with an amused smirk.
I swear I saw a small hint of a smile appear on his face before he disappeared from my sight.

After slipping on my black skin tight skirt with the matching top, I knocked on the door. When Pain had left me, I resumed my bath, sitting in there for over an hour as I scrubbed every inch of my skin, then falling asleep in the bath before Jugo woke me up. Of course, he woke me up just a second after he woke up from Pain's affliction.
Jugo opened the door, with my black boots in his hands.
"Can I leave?" I asked him as I zipped on my boots.
"I'm afraid not, my lady."
"They can't keep me prisoner forever."
"Sasuke is just trying to protect you."
I rolled my eyes.
"Secluding me away from everyone is not a good idea in protecting me."
"Since Madara Uchiha now knows-"
I grabbed the front of Jugo's shirt, bringing his lips down into mine as his eyes widened.
And then they turned dull as I pulled away, leaving a bit of my chakra swirling in him.
"Sleep."
And with that he curled up on the ground outside of Sasuke's room, as I felt a lump of guilt form in my throat.
I rushed away, turning a corner only to meet the eyes of the devil.
"Shit." I cussed underneath my breath, a rush of fear and excitement shooting through my body.
I instantly cloaked myself in my invisibility jutsu, knowing it was pointless since Sasuke could still see me with his sharingan activated.
But still.
I sprinted off in the opposite direction of the hallway, as I heard Sasuke scream my name.
His voice was so full of anger, and for whatever reason he was angry for, me running from him pissed him off even more.
I felt him slowly gain on me as I found my way out of these long hallways and into a huge cavern, the exit coming into view.
I snapped my head up to see an Akatsuki falling from above. I gritted my teeth together in annoyance, performing a set of hand signs before plunging into the earth below me.
I felt the ground shake as I swam away in the earth, emerging just outside the cave only to run straight into Sasuke.
He didn't say a single word as his eyes said it all.
I gasped as he wrapped his arms around me, only to retract as he swiftly coiled me in serpents. A trick learned from Father.
"I will summon Miyako-"
"Shut up." He warned, before walking off in front of me and back into the cave.
The snakes coiled around me tightened their hold, as their fangs that sunk into my skin sucked slowly at my chakra. We followed close behind Sasuke as he ignored the presence of the rest of the Akatsuki. The anger radiated off of him as I watched him speed away, silence between us until we finally made it back to his room.
I was slammed hard against the far wall, the snakes dissolving around me.
I gasped when Sasuke was suddenly in front of me, pressing me harder against the wall.
He captured my lips in his, his hands gripping my hips to keep me pinned against the wall.
I grabbed his face and pulled him closer as he deepened our kiss, forcing my mouth open.
I moved to remove his already open top, pulling it down his arms as he went to rip off my clothing.
And then I felt my vision black out for a split second, before I gained consciousness, only to see Sasuke on the ground halfway across the room.
Smoke was steaming from his lips and his hands.
My eyes widened when I saw burn marks on his lips and skin.
"Sasuke?"
"It was Shiroryuu. Don't worry about it."
I shook my head.
"Why the hell did you kiss me?!" I snapped at him.
"What?!" He yelled back.
"You kissed me! I thought you were going to try and beat me up!" I shot back at him.
He rolled his eyes, pushing himself off the ground as the sizzling of his skin continued.
"I decided in taking my anger out on you in a different way."
I shook my head in disgust. "Don't do it again."
"That's Shiroryuu speaking."
"I'm still pissed at you!" I shouted at him, walking towards the door.
"You know I can't hurt you. I wouldn't have punished you." He said, moving to grab my arm but then remembering his burnt hands.
"You scared me. Coming after me like that." I said in a hushed tone.
"You pissed me off by disobeying my orders."
"What orders? As I said before, you don't control me."
And then I opened the door, slamming it shut.
But little did he know that I loved his possessive and compulsive side.
