Didn't Ask For You to Save Me

If you came here expecting a real plot, I'm afraid you are sorely mistaken. What started out as a one-shot developed into a series of one-shots, which happen more or less one after the other. So! I bring you the next segment, and if anybody has a good idea for a plot, feel free to run it by me, as I have no idea where this is going! XD

I actually wrote this right after posting the original chapter three, then kicked myself when I realized this came before that. *sigh* Oh well. Two updates in one day, feel special! X3

Disclaimer: And yeah, I'm still not cool enough to own Naruto. Or Sakura-chan. *sigh* Alas.

It wasn't a secret that Sasuke wanted to rebuild his clan. It had always been one of the higher priorities in the young Uchiha's life, and no matter how things had gone and how he had been forced to rearrange them out of necessity, it was still one of his top priorities. As such, he had instructed Kabuto to prepare a list of suitable kunoichi readily available in Oto, and from there he could start the program of reviving the Uchiha. It was a simple task, artificially inseminate five kunoichi, wait a few years, then move on to the next batch of five.

A relatively simple task, one that Kabuto initiated flawlessly. But Uchiha Sasuke was still very much human, despite what propaganda and rumor said, and regardless whether he let it show or not, he'd still had needs of his own. Kabuto hadn't been lying when he'd informed Sakura that Sasuke had missed her. In a way, Sasuke had. It had just been chance and pure coincidence that Kabuto had been near the battle where Sakura had been near-fatally wounded, and although he doubted Sakura would believe it if he told her, it was truth. Kabuto hadn't believed his own luck, but had taken advantage of the situation and captured her while she was too weak to crush his skull with a chakra-enhanced punch to the face.

Kabuto had found it almost amusing when he'd realized he'd captured the strawberry-tressed kunoichi in time for Sasuke-sama's coming of age. He'd entertained that thought while rigging a set of restraints that would hopefully be able to withstand Sakura's strength, then returned to his computer console. He'd been taking a break from the process of going through his surprisingly long list of known aphrodesiacs when Sakura had awoken.

Dealing with her had been easy enough, rattle her cage a bit and she would either fly off the handle or be reduced to a ball of insecurities. She'd thankfully grown silent, leaving Kabuto to work his way through the list and select a drug that would hopefully increase fertility as well as render her incapable of causing a problem while Sasuke-sama did what he'd like. Sakura-chan was well known for being surprisingly stubborn and Kabuto was honestly surprised with how adverse she'd been to the concept of getting what she'd wanted just a few years before.

The nice thing about this particular drug was that he could make it from supplies on-hand. He could feel Sakura watching him with growing suspicion as he worked, scowling slightly as he measured out each of the ingredients. She knew whatever he was doing was not going to be pleasant for her when he was done, and her attitude towards him was almost amusing. Sakura was one of those unfortunate girls who you really couldn't take seriously when she was mad because she looked almost cute in a way. Like a kitten fluffed up with anger, you couldn't help but laugh. Kabuto knew better though, even kittens still had claws.

Once the drug had reached its finished state--it was a clear, ordorless liquid--Kabuto uncapped a sterile syringe and measured out a dose. Taking a moment to make sure all the excess air was out, he turned to the girl on the girl on the operating table. She took one look at the syringe in his hand and glared at him with all her might.

"Saa, Sakura-chan, what's that look for?" He knew his light and carefree tone set her teeth on edge and he smiled wider when her expression turned murderous. The restraints rattled as she tried to break free and he tsked. "Now, now, I can't have you running away while I need to give you your medication. Settle down, or I'll have to knock you out again."

That did the trick, and she swallowed hard as he injected the serum directly into her IV. The heart monitors she was hooked up to betrayed her sudden spike of anxiety, her heart rate skyrocketing. Kabuto watched her calmly, studying her face as she tried to fight back her fear. Pulling the syringe out, he tossed it at a bin saved for biohazardous materials without looking, a sign that he'd done that often enough that it was a habit. Sakura flinched when she felt his fingers on her cheek, and was surprised to hear Kabuto croon.

"Shhh, Sakura-chan, calm down." His thumb stroked her cheekbone but she was having a hard time doing what he said when a strange tingling sensation was spreading outward from the IV site in her arm.

"What did you do to me?" Jade eyes were dialated in fear, but when she glanced back up at him, her pupils constricted to pinpoints. Another sign of fear, especially since she couldn't look directly at him. Her gaze shifted quite often, and she swallowed. Kabuto mused that she'd probably start sucking or chewing on her bottom lip next as he sat on the edge of the table.

"Just ensuring you'll be ready when Sasuke-sama arrives. It's nothing you should worry about too much, there's no real adverse side effects of the drug, so there'll be no long-term damage." He brushed her bangs out of her face, noting that she wasn't flinching away from him and the slightest hint of a blush was starting to spread across her cheeks. Seemed like it was beginning to kick in, that was a good sign. The heart monitors were back to a steadier rhythm, although one that was still faster than her usual.

She was also starting to pant, her eyelids growing heavy and the color of her eyes was shifting to a darker green as the pupils dialated, giving her a rather lazy expression not unlike her old sensei. She licked her lips, shifting against her restraints uncomfortably as she made a soft keening sound, one she probably didn't even notice she'd made.

"What...what is it?" Her cheeks were definitely flushed when she looked up at him again.

"What do you think it is, Sakura-chan?" He cupped her cheek and smiled slightly when she leaned into his touch. She was taking to the drug incredibly well, a very good sign. Tracing her bottom lip with his thumb made her mewl, arching her back instinctively to draw attention to other parts of her anatomy. Good girl. Sasuke-sama would be pleased.

"Do you give up, Sakura-chan?" He waited as she nuzzled his palm, wondering if she even knew what she was doing. Her name caught her attention, and she looked up at him with an almost pained expression. Her bottom lip caught in her teeth, she gave the slightest shake of her head for a negative. He huffed in amusement, his free hand pushing his glasses back up on his nose. He leaned forward, hovering over her and watching in amusement as her gaze went to his eyes then dropped to his mouth to linger there as he spoke. "It's an aphrodesiac, Sakura-chan. Did Tsunade-sama teach you about those?"

Recognition flitted through her gaze and he would say Tsunade had. Sakura blushed harder, probably in embarrassment as she looked away. Her lower lip quivered perilously, and he stroked her cheek with the back of his knuckles, it wouldn't do to have her crying before Sasuke-sama arrived. "Shhh, Sakura-chan, it'll be all right."

She looked up at him with liquid, doe-like eyes that would have undoubtedly ruined a lesser man, but Kabuto just smiled and continued to stroke her cheek. It wouldn't be long now before the full effects of the drug kicked in, and then he'd have to just sit and wait until she was ready for Sasuke-sama.
