I walked quietly through the forest surrounding my home, and found myself thinking: 'Why are all these places always surrounded by trees? I don't get it. This is Otokagure for hell's sake not the damn Leaf Village!' ( lol, had to write that...you know it's true) I nearly stumbled across a beautiful young woman sitting by a very old, large tree. "Hello and who are you?" The female's silvery gaze lifted to meet that of the man who spoke. She blinked, where had he come from? She didn't even feel him approach. Shrugging it off, she narrowed her eyes, her face blank as ever, "Who I am isn't really any of your concern now is it?" She raised a brow and rested her hands on her propped up knee as she remained seated beneath the tree.

"Well true. But I simply asked in order to know the name of the beautiful angel who has brightened my day. But you look a bit startled. I guess I'm quieter than I remember. I'm used to those around me knowing my every move. If it helps I am Orochimaru. I was just out for a stroll." I sat down next to her pulling my legs into an indian style, and leaned against the tree "and to inspect further into the reports that a Konaha spy was at my borders. But seeing so lovely and kind a face I cannot in all sense and reason believe it to be you." I smiled. "So, what's a young woman like you doing out on such a beautiful day, and all alone at that?" Her stone cold eyes shifted to look at him. Her hair was long and silver, trailing down her back and settling on the ground around her. She stayed silent for a moment, before finally speaking. Her voice was harsh, almost raspy, as if she hadn't spoken in quite a while, "I can assure you...I'm no spy...and, if it matters, my name is Sabor. Just...Sabor." She turned away from him, focusing her gaze now on a shrub a few yards off. She ignored his flattery, even though it was something she didn't hear often.

I had seen the look in her eyes often enough to know that she wasn't interested in talking. At least not to someone she had just met. I knew my words would have seemed a plot at best to most who knew my name. But she was stunning. Though right now she didn't seem the least bit interested. So I thought it better to instead take a different course. "It'll be raining soon. do you have shelter?" "I don't mind getting wet," she stated quickly, flatly, not moving, or even blinking as she spoke. A sigh moved from her lips and soon, she closed her eyes, in a way hoping he would leave, but at the same time wanting him to stay. "We can't have that. Come now, a lady shouldn't get wet. Besides if you did, I would have no choice but to put you in one of my outfits until yours is dried." Over head the storm broke, and though alot of it was blocked by the trees, it wasn't long before we were both soaked to the skin. "I guess I should head back." I stood and offered my hand to you. "Please come with me. You need a place to dry off and clothes to wear until these dry out,. And I can practically hear your stomach." I let myself laugh a little as if in response to my words, her stomach growled again. "Please..."

She sighed and looked up at the sky, ignoring her stomach. After a moment, water began to run into her face, dripping from her hair. She wouldn't say anything, but natural water like this diminished her powers by making contact with her, so, to her misfortune, for the time being, she was human. She reached up and took his hand, pulling herself to her feet and looking at him with narrowed eyes. Her eyes then closed, and she nodded, "Fine..."

We headed back to the village using the cover of the trees as much as possible. When we reached the entrance I went off to the left. We reached a small gate, and I opened it with a quick jutsu. "It's the back door to my garden, and house. Now you are the only other person who knows about this place. I moved aside as the back door was opened by Kabuto. "Thank you Kabuto. Now if you would some dry clothes for the lady, and I guess for myself as well. She will be joining us for dinner. So have Tayuya prepare an extra setting at the table." Kabuto seemed to vanish before our eyes. I turned and went up a set of stairs. "The room at the end is mine. The five on this side are my Sounds Five's of course." I grinned. "Kabuto's is right here." I walked a few more steps. "You may use this one." I opened the door. "I hope to see you at dinner." Bowing I turned and headed for my own room.

She entered the room in silence, glancing around at the furnished area and the overly-decorated bed. She blinked, glancing back over her shoulder as the door closed. After a moment, she moved toward a dresser and opened it casually, finding in it a number out outfits for many different occasions. She picked through them, and came across a long black dress with a ruby-velvet collar. "Hmm..."
