Dear readers, welcome to the collaborative work of Gerkyhen & Strawbrryshake "Love at the Northern Base." We do hope you enjoy the sordid escapades of our lively OC's – if not, well then that's just too bad ;)
"Kabuto, how are they doing?" the slippery smooth voice of their captor echoed from somewhere in the darkness. Ai, a rouge bandit from the hidden mist was quite terrified. Her little blue eyes blinked against the water that surrounded her in her illuminated prison. She looked over to try and catch a glimpse of her companion, Suigestsu, who's snowy hair danced about his defined ashen face in a similarly looking "fish tank." Ai frowned in thought slightly, "I know we're from the Mist but this is taking the piss a bit surely?" A sudden gurgling noise from within the darkness stopped the small kunochi mid thought and made her jump. Ai pressed her delicate hands against the glass as the fluid was drained from her tank, she struggled a little has her bare feet touched the bottom of her container, there were wires everywhere. She blushed a little when she realised she was indecently exposed, she attempted to cover herself with one hand while the other was pressed to the glass to try and see anything that lay beyond the confines of the tank. In Ai's efforts to determine what the situation was she pressed her pale face to the glass, and clicked her tongue against her shark like teeth. She did not seem to understand how both her and her accomplice were not dead. As she peered out into the void she swore she could have heard the distinct hissing of a snake. Something writhed in the darkness not so far from her prison. She panicked and looked over at her companion who was still floating unconscious in his own container. "What the actual fuck is going on here..." Ai bit down on her lip slightly in anxiety as an eerie but playful chuckled resounded through the blackness she thought she could see a figure moving towards her. "Genjutsu maybe?" she thought and closed her eyes tight in an effort to dispel any such illusion that may have befallen her. "Nah that's not it," she thought to herself as she opened her pale blue eyes again, expecting only the infinite darkness that was the outside. However she was greeted by no such thing, upon refocusing her vision Ai encountered something entirely different. A pair of golden slit eyes gazed down at her from the outside domain and transfixed her. It was as if she had caught sight of something so inhumanly beautiful that she did not have the ability to look away, let alone fear for her life. The light of the container slowly illuminated the snake like face of the man; long silken hair of the darkest colour adorned his shoulders. Every feature resembled that of an elegant reptilian. The texture of his skin looked slender, youthful, smooth; yet somehow wisdom was transcended through it, as if he had lived already for a hundred years. Ai continued to fixate on him as a smirk took what seemed to be a familiar place on this mysterious man. A snake like tongue danced eagerly now on his lips as he lent closer to the glass that separated himself and the mist ninja. He smiled, his tongue snaked back behind his lips; "I like this one!" he chucked darkly intensifying his gaze, he let out a low hiss and withdrew from the light of the tank somewhat so that his features were barely visible. Ai gulped, although this man entranced her, she couldn't help but feel like a prize fish or lobster at a fancy restaurant that had just been selected for dish of the day. The man smiled at the girl's horrified expression and disappeared. Ai breathed a sigh of relief that was short lived as moments later, the glass wall that confined her dropped down exposing her to the cold outside and inevitably this mysterious stranger.
