Liiran POV

I woke up in an oddly calm state. It was early early morning. The room was pitch black as I slowly sat up an looked around. I stretched, changed, and left my room in silence. My bow on my back, and frown in place. Last night was a good night for me. Between talking to Minako and having Kabuto treat me nice, I had a fairly pleasant night. I smirked, a small reminder I could smile once, and headed to the 'breakfast room' where the respected allies of Lord Orochimaru ate wonderful food, and the less respected ate disgusting slop and glared at us. I grabbed a plate, slid into the kitchen and snuck around grabbing the food I wanted. Then I ate, hidden from everyone's sight, and disappeared to the prisoners keep.

As I entered the dark lit room, Minako sat up. Her golden eyes glowed. She grinned when she saw me and bounced up to her feet, tackling me in a hug. I held still, unused to this contact and waited for her to release me

"Liiran! I'm so glad your here!" she said loudly. I attempted smiling and said

"so am I. I brought you something" she gave me a curious look and I winked and pulled a loaf of bread out from behind me. She gasped and grabbed it between her thin fingers

"is this real? Howd you get this?"

"it's real... I just went into the kitchen and grabbed it"

"your allowed in the kitchen?" her eyes got all watery

"yes..." I said, confused at her reaction. "all of His favorites are allowed in the kitchen" her eyes watered more

"your one of his favorites?"

"I am his favorite."

"even above Kabuto?"

"yes" she staggered back a little bit.

"my darling... What... What could you have done to..." she trailed off staring at me in such a frightened way.

"I didn't have to do much. I agreed to willingly become his servant and pupil in exchange for knowledge and power" she quivered a bit and avoided my eye contact

"servant.."

"I serve under Lord Orochimarus rule, with no questioning and complete loyalty." I quoted. The little manta imprinted into my head.

"servant.." she mumbled again. I looked carefully at her. Her fists were clenched and her gold eyes closed tight.

"Minako..?"

"we are not meant to serve, Liiran." she said. Her voice dangerously quiet.

"HE SHOULD BE SERVING YOU!" her eyes snapped open and gold light poured from them. I closed my eyes for a split second and opened them to see her in a crumpled heap on the ground.

"Minako!" I jumped toward her crumpled body, pulling her into my arms. She was barely breathing

"oh my god.. KABUTO!!! Someone!!!!" I pulled Minako closer and shook her shoulders

"Minako please..." my eyes closed and I felt my heart break a little

"please I just found you... Don't leave me now.... Mom...."

Kabuto POV

I heard her scream before I reached the hallway. Immediately I began running

"Liiran!" I slammed open the door and saw Liiran holding her mother in her arms... Crying.

"don't leave me now... Mom..." she buried her head in Minakos soft hair and sobbed uncontrollably, her frail yet powerful form shaking.

"Liiran" I ran to her, gently prying her off Minakos now still form. Her heart had stopped. I started healing her as fast as possible. I didn't care if Minako died. I only cared for Liiran.

Liiran.

She was grasping at the back of my shirt, sobbing. Mumbling things hysterically

"please... Please" I did my very best... I just couldn't figure out what was wrong yet...

Gaara POV

White. Black. Open. closed. I lay in her bed. It smelled like her. I looked towards her empty closet. I missed her. I hope, wherever she is she is okay. I stood, and like everyday, I went in front of her mirror and fixed my hair. I went to my room and got dressed. And I walked the same twenty four steps from my room to the kitchen. Ate an apple. Left for the Kazekage building. I mumbled my goodmorning to the office lady I still can't remember the name of, went into my room. Closed the door. Sat down. Closed eyes. Another day without her.

Liiran POV

She was in a coma. Her body was cold and Kabuto had her hooked up to several machines. I was sitting next to her bed side holding her hand. Kabuto said she had a 'battery overcharge' like she had to much power at once and it messed her brain up. She might never awaken. I stared at her pretty face for a few seconds. I heard someone enter the room, and looked up. It was Kabuto. He gave me a sad smile.

"hey"

"hi.."

"uhm do you wanna go on a walk..?" he held out his hand. I sighed an took it, letting him lead me out of the room. After a few seconds he said

"do you miss him?" he didn't make eye contact. I glanced at him then stared at the ground

"yeah... I do.." there was a intake if breath from him and then he stopped, pulling me to stand in front of him.

"there's something you should know.." I quirked an eyebrow at him

"Gaara... He's.... Alive"
