Hey, guys! sorry, but ya know... life. here is the next one!

~Timeskip 3 Month later ~

Today it is time again. Vamp-man wants to train with Sasuke and me. Thanks, Kami it doesn't happen so often because I get goose bumps when I only think about the pedophile. He probably wants to see how far I have mastered the Jutsu he taught me. 

Together with Sasuke, I enter the cold, dark training hall aka the Arena. Sometimes we have to fight against others, like failed experiments. Sasuke is so good at fighting that he always knocks them out or beats them enough that they are unable to continue the fight. 

Unfortunately, I was not always so lucky. I had to kill some of the men whom I fought against since they wouldn't let me go, no matter how much I've wounded them. 

My gender probably plays no insignificant role since most of them are men here and haven't seen a woman since eternities or they think they are stronger than me. Whatever is their motivation, no longer plays any role. But I will never forget the glow in Orochimaru's' eyes when I killed them. From an average person and under normal circumstances I would have called the expression bliss. But from him?

A cold shiver runs down my spine, and I turn around. Somehow I have developed a sixth sense to feel him before he appears. And just as I turn around, Vamp-man appears right in front of me. 

To be exact, he is so close; I can perceive the herbal odor of his clothes. His chin and his lips are at my eye level, and they twist into an amused smirk. "Ah, Nao. I see you couldn't wait to see me again." 

I step a bit back, and Sasuke is putting his hand soothingly on my back. The simple gesture helps me to relax my body and look into his eyes. "How could I not?" I reply in a slightly sarcastic tone. Orochimaru's grin widens. "Your rebelliousness is really refreshing, my love." 

The smile leaves his face, and he gets serious again. "But unfortunately, we have no time for such folly. We are here to see how you are doing. Fight against each other until one of you is unable to continue." He stands in front of a wall and stares in our direction. Sasuke and I nod briefly and then walk to the middle of the training hall. 

We go into attacking position and wait for the start signal. "Begin!" Shouts Vamp-man. Sasuke immediately begins to weave finger signs, and I can recognize that it is a fire-based technique and do a few myself. 

He finished first, but I'm only a second behind him. "Katon-Dragon Flame Jutsu." "Suiton-Great Exploding Current!" The fire balls fly at me as I inhale deeply. I can already feel the heat on my skin and shoot an almost infinite amount of water from my mouth to flood the entire area. 

As soon as the water rush from my mouth dried up, I hear Sasuke murmur a Justu. "Chidori Stream." Before I can react, he has caught me in the technique. The flashes shoot painfully through my body, and the effect is reinforced by the water on the floor. 

I can't move and bite my teeth, so I don't scream. The shadow of Sasuke falls over me as he steps to my side. He's activated his Sharingan and is just making the last sign. "Sharingan." 

I am in a pseudo-world, and even before anything can happen, I make the hand sign for the release. "Kai." When I open my eyes again, Sasuke's fist hits my face, and I duck under it. I counter with my own and box him in the stomach. 

He doesn't like it one bit and wants to slash at me with his drawn Kusanagi for revenge. Since I know that he reinforces it with his Chidori, I pull out a Kunai and envelop it with my wind-chakra. With a loud 'clang', the blades meet each other again and again until I hit the sword out of his hand and we both jump out of range at the same time with a backflip. 

We both weave signs again and are finished at the same time. "Chidori Laser Spear!" "Fuuton- Scattering Flower Dance!" I dodge Sasuke's Chidori with a leap to the side and send him a cyclone of petals. He tries to jump out of the way, but I can steer the storm wherever I want. 

As he dodges, he weaves hand sign, which I can't see. "Katon-Phoenix Fire Jutsu." Many small fireballs shoot at me, and I have to interrupt my wind-justu so I can call a zone-shield. Through the experiments with Kabuto, my chakra tank has grown considerably, so I am on the same level as Sasuke. 

Unfortunately, the Zone Shield Jutsu still costs a lot of Chakra, and I can't apply another Justu when I have activated it. A seal illuminates briefly, and a light blue chakra wall envelops me. I try to adapt it to the attack, but when the first fireballs hit it, I know it is too weak. 

After three more hits, it breaks, and the balls hit me. They scorch my kimono and throw me against the wall where I hit my back and slide slowly down. Blood collects in my mouth, and I spit it on the floor. "Crap." After a few hand signs, I activate the healing Jutsu and put my hands on the stomach to fix the biggest damage. 

Clapping is heard. Kabuto must have come during the fight and is heading towards me while slowly clapping as Orochimaru joins Sasuke. "Wonderful. Nao, you are getting good at Fuuton Jutsu but it can still be improved." He turns to Sasuke and looks at him with a frown. 

"Sasuke-kun, you held back, not much but I noticed it. Why?" He looks briefly at me with an expressionless face. "I didn't want to kill her. That wouldn't be in your interest, would it?" Pleased Vamp-man nodded, implies that Sasuke should follow him and the two disappear into one of the many tunnels. 

Meanwhile, Kabuto kneels down beside me and helps to heal me. "Mou ~ I wish I had done this to you." He sighs and presses his hands tighter on my stomach, so I can't suppress a little noise of pain. "Ah~, exactly like this." 

His hands begin to very slowly creep up until they finally come to lie on the bottom of my breasts. I clench my teeth and snap at him: "Another centimeter more and you won't have those hands anymore!" Sadistically, he bends close to my face. "I hardly believe that." 

Before I can say anything, he already has a blade on his neck. "What was that?" Sasuke asks calmly and emotionlessly. Kabuto stares at the blade on his neck and sweat forms on his forehead. Slowly he takes his hands from me and stands up, still with the sword on his vein. 

"Touch them once, and your hands will be the least of your problems, Kabuto." He swallows audibly and murmurs: "Understood." Sasuke puts Kusanagi back in his sheath, and Kabuto is almost running out of the training room. Sasuke looks down at me and lifts me up in his arms. 

"Hey, I can walk!" He stares silently into my eyes, and I feel that his patience is almost at an end. With a pouting mouth, I look away from him and defiantly cross my arms over my chest. "Some day I will tie you to our bed so that you won't put yourself in danger again." Snorting and rolling my eyes, I said sarcastically. "Sure, do it."
