Chapter 19
Orochimaru’s back turned towards Saya once he was finished with her. It was then he closed his eyes and held his ribcage as the pain from his actions caught up with him. His breathing was audibly ragged. Saya lay there and listened to him. She found herself wanting to press herself against his back and wrap her arms around him to let her own hand comfort his pain. Instead she kept still and watched his bare back until his breathing came to a slow pace. She lay there staring until he unconsciously turned over and faced her. Saya now found herself staring in awe at his peaceful face. It was difficult. The beautiful face tempted her to hold and kiss it until the man woke. However, the pain in her neck from her new wound also reminded her of what kind of man he was and what he had put her through. It was the reason she fought her own exhaustion to stay awake. It was to make sure the man was asleep, but as lovely as it was, it was not to watch him. Carefully and quietly, Saya slid out of bed. Orochimaru rolled onto his back as the weight of the bed shifted, but he remained asleep. Saya slipped her kimono back on, all the while staring down at him. “You almost had me,” she whispered as she rounded the bed to his side. Pushing aside the fear that he may wake, Saya leaned down to gently brush her lips against his. “I almost wish you did.” “Mmm…Saya...” She froze and put a hand to her mouth as he mumbled her name. Orochimaru rolled back onto his side and continued his heavy breathing. Saya slowly unfroze and noticed that her hands were shaking. Why am I hanging around if I’m so worried about being caught, she asked herself. It was then that she realized she wasn’t shaking because she was afraid of him waking, but because some sick part of her was sad. And when a tear formed and ran down her face, she mentally shook herself. The man had harassed her since day one and tried to make a slave out of her. There was no reason to be sad about leaving. But as she walked across the room and to the door, Saya felt that there was. She pushed the thoughts aside and quickly slipped out of the room. Weak candlelight lit the hallways, barely breaking up the darkness. A chill ran up Saya’s spine on account of the dead silence. As she walked up the hall and passed Kabuto’s room, she blushed. There was only a slight chance that he had been awake or alert enough, but still… Maybe it’s good that I am leaving, she thought, he would eat me alive if he heard us. She almost laughed then. Saya found comfort in her room when she reached it. A light came from a corner which illuminated a sleeping Akira slumped in a chair. There were a few bags at his feet. “Hey,” Saya whispered as she shook his shoulder, “wake up.” “What?” he asked with a start as he woke. Akira shook his bangs out of his eyes. “Oh, Saya. Ready to go?” He finished with a yawn. Saya nodded simply before turning around to collect her single bag of belongings. She watched Akira gather his own bags with a raised eyebrow. “What’s all that?” “My things. I’m leaving, too.” He shrugged. “I don’t belong here. I’ve been under Lor-Orochimaru since I was a teenager. Seen and done some things I wish I hadn’t. You made me think about that. So, I’m heading out.” Akira shared a warm smile with her, but his eyes told something different. Saya could sense that there was more to it, but she felt it would be too rude to ask. It was obvious that he also felt the same way she did, though. They both wanted to leave, but they were also holding back for whatever their reasons. “Where are you going to go?” “Find a place to stay when we get to town, get acquainted with any local shinobi, and then I’ll see where that takes me.” Saya then returned his smile. “I’m glad to hear that. I can’t see anyone having much of a life here.” Akira nodded once in agreement before a silence fell between them. “Well, let’s get going,” He opened the door and offered to let Saya lead. She stepped back into the hall with a new feeling in the pit of her stomach. The smile was still on her face as she waited for Akira to come to her side. He put a supportive hand around her shoulder as they headed for the exit. “You’re going to start having trouble with your neck soon after we leave. It’s something you’ll have to get used to until you’re able to push through the curse. You’ll be fine, though. I can tell you’re a strong willed person.” No, I’m not, Saya thought with a frown. Her mouth went dry as she heard Orochimaru’s words echo in her head. She hadn’t fought hard enough, but she had barely lost. Her leaving proved that. Akira dropped his arm as they reached the main door and moved forward to open it. The moonlight hit both of their eyes, making them squint in the darkness. “Listen,” Akira stared as he placed a gentle hand on her forearm, “it won’t be as dangerous out there as when you first got here. We’ll still have to be quiet, though.” Saya rubbed at her neck. “R-right,” she replied as she found her voice. She grinned at Akira to reassure him as he looked worriedly at her. “I’m fine.” Dropping her hand, Saya walked through the door and began walking up the steps. She knew she was rushing when she heard that her companion’s footsteps were far behind hers. At that point Saya didn’t care. Her eyes grew adjusted to the light as she neared the top, which fueled her with a sense of urgency. She all but ran into the open when she reached level ground. Saya could almost taste the fresh air as it entered her lungs. She smiled again and turned to wait for Akira. Her neck began to sting as if annoyed when he caught up to her, but she easily ignored it. But another feeling began to surface as Saya looked back into the dark entrance. A tiny part of her still wanted to stay. If not to stay, then to at least see Orochimaru one last time. Right, “see”, she told herself as she turned back around. “Akira? Let’s get away from this hellhole.” AN: One chapter left until Part II.
