About a year after Naruto and everyone were born,

Uh! Get out, get out of my head! Get OUT! Orochimaru had been trying ninjutsu to try to release his conscience, it had put a lot of stress on his brain and was about ready to die. But he knew he couldn't die yet, there were still too many goals to accomplish.

After an hour of extreme head trauma, his conscience had finally come out in the form of a baby girl with a small yin and yang symbol on the back of her neck. As this happened, the same symbol also appeared on Orochimaro. His conscience was still young of course due to the fact that he had just gotten it recently.

Orochimaru-sama! a young Kabuto yelled. Are you okay?

I'll be fine, Orochimaru replied.

Why can't we just kill her, there would be nothing stopping us then?

No, we can't. She is a part of me as I am a part of her. Kill her and I would die too, not just my body, but my soul as well its part of the jutsu and you know as well as I that, we can't have that happening do we?

Yes Orochimaru-sama. So what should we do with her?

Raise her here and I'll train her, provide her all the needs that she requests. Oh, and make sure nothing bad happens to her, she can be quite useful when she's older.

(evil snicker)

Twelve years later…

Yawn. A young girl at age twelve had woken up from her slumber and was pondering the fact that nobody had bothered to wake her up.

Maybe they forgot or something? No she thought, that would be impossible, being raised in Otogakure she was as important as the Otokage himself. No one would forget me like that unless there was someone else more important coming.

Then she remembered yesterday and what the Otokage told her.

Flashback

We have a very special guest coming tomorrow and I expect you to be on your very best behavior. Orochimaru said.

Yyyes sir! The girl replied meekly.

This will be quite interesting. He smirked.

End of flashback

I wonder who it is! Im so excited that I get to make a new friend. Kimimaru-kun was very nice but he got sick for a long time and left very recently and hasn't come back. He was the best at poker and I would always lose to him, but he was nice enough to not brag about it much. Sigh. I really miss him I wonder where he went? Being here all alone with Kabuto-san is boring, all he does is obey Orochimaru-san's orders and never plays with me. If Kimimaru-kun was here then we could have welcomed the new person together and we could have all been friends since Im too shy to do it on my own!

She was walking down the halls. Oh! I think I hear footsteps! So she hid in the staircase as she saw Orochimaru bring in a boy around her age. Oh! We're almost the same age! Cool! She smiled. He has funny hair too! It sticks up in the back, I wonder how he does that? I doubt gel glue or even cement could get his hair in that shape. So she spent the next five seconds pondering this question.

Ah, so I see that you are here. Orochimaru said out of nowhere, which almost scared the heck out of her.

Oh, Good morning Orochimaru-san! I'm sorry if I am interrupting anything. So, Who's the new guy?

Well, Orochimaru responded, His name is Uchiha Sasuke.

Oooohhh, the name sounds cool! She thought. Hi! my name is Tsuki! Its nice to finally meet you! Orochimaru-san talks a lot about you!

Sasuke gave a weird look to Orochimaru and turned to face Tsuki and said whatever.

Oh, How rude of you to be so mean as to say whatever after I introduced myself! Haven't your parents ever taught you manners! Tsuki thought in her head angrily.

Then when Sasuke gave her a cold stare she knew that he wasn't the kind type. Sasuke also started to wonder why Orochimaru would have such a weak girl working for him, I mean he could kill her in an instant and she doesn't seem to have much worth. Well, Kabuto said, why don't we start the day with a nice breakfast, it's right in the dining room?

There was a very awkward aura emitting from the dining table and there was complete silence. When they were done, Tsuki tried to sneak off to play outside, but was unsuccessful when Orochimaru stopped her.

Where do you think you are going? Orochimaru questioned her.

Um, well, I just thought that you should spend some quality time with Sasuke-san since he's new and all, Tsuki said nervously hoping that he would fall for it.

Don't just think that just because Sasuke-kun is here that you can skip training, now get to the grounds and I want to see 20 laps and 100 push-ups now!

Aww man?! She thought. She felt crushed that her somewhat true alibi didn't work, she just wanted to spend some quiet time on her own instead of putting up with the intense training. Couldn't he cut her some slack for a while?

After an hour and a half of laps and pushups, Orochimaru told her to practice her summoning jutsu. She had just signed her name under the snake-summoning contract recently and was excited to see what she could summon up. She did the hand signs with great care focusing her chakra, Kuchiyose no Jutsu! In a puff of smoke, a snake the size of a beetle came up. Orochimaru was impressed at how well she did on her first try, usually when she tried a new jutsu it failed completely, he was surprised that she summoned up anything at all. Hopefully Sasuke will be more talented.

Hello! She said to the snake. How are you? Im sorry if I was interrupting you while you did anything in your world. The snake got annoyed that it was summoned and ignored everything Tsuki said thinking that she would make a great lunch despite the huge gap in size. Orochimaru immediately sensed the danger and killed the snake within the second.

Tsuki, who was totally oblivious to the fact that the snake wanted to kill her was surprised when the next second she saw it lying dead on the ground.

Wha wha Whaaattttt happened! The poor innocent snake just died! Waaahhhhh! She started to cry a river as Orochimaru patted his hands on her shoulder and thought, oh great, do we always have to go through this routine? Whenever I kill someone or thing that threatens her life, she starts to cry for them, how stupid.

Now, Now, Orochimaru said, it's all right Im sure that the snake went to heaven and is really happy where he is right now.

Sniff, Sniff, really? She said with the cutest little face with tears in it.

Yes, really he assured her. Hah he thought, that always shuts her up; the snake is probably in hell right now, cursing me for killing him, a snake going to heaven? Fat chance! Tsuki is so damn gullible.

Now, you get the rest of the day off since I train you in the morning and Sasuke-kun in the afternoon. Time for lunch now.

Okay, Orochimaru-san. Tsuki said as she wiped away her tears.

After another awkward meal with Sasuke, she ran off to her favorite patch of grass in the open field. She laid on her back and stared at the beautiful afternoon sky. No matter what time of day it was she had always loved looking up and watching the clouds. Her favorite time of day though was the night when the gleaming moon shone in the nighttime sky.

The sky had always looked like a painting to her as if God himself had painted the sky with each brush stroke. She felt happy and content as the clouds passed by one by one. It was so calming and peaceful. After the first hour she fell into a sweet slumber hoping that she would wake up just in time for the beautiful sunset.

Tsuki was having a dream of how she had a happy family and lived in a normal town. She had many loyal friends whom she had many fun and exciting adventures with. It was the perfect life. She had just finished school and was running to hug her mom. Then all of a sudden when she woke up she saw that saw was hugging Sasuke.

Oh! Um, Komenosai Sasuke-san!!! I'm really sorry she said as she tried to hide she reddish face.

Oh, um, that's okay, I was supposed to take you back for dinner. Sasuke responded trying to forget the hug.

Oh! Yeah, I almost forgot! Thanks for reminding me. Tsuki thanked.

We should go now if we don't want to be late. So Tsuki and Sasuke walked together as the sun settled beneath the horizon. Tsuki's eyes were glued to the sky.

Wow, the sky looks so beautiful during this hour with all of the colors slowly blending into each other, Tsuki said out loud. Sasuke also decided to steal a look at the sunset but accidentally instead looked at Tsuki. Wow, he thought, her eyes look beautiful as they gazed toward the sun. Then he got all flustered and stopped.

Hn? Sasuke-san, are you all right? Is something wrong? Tsuki asked.

No, Im fine, nothing wrong trying to get rid of the red in his face.

Oh, okay, we should hurry up then, the walk is taking longer than I expected. So they both rushed toward home hoping to make it in time. By the time they got there, both of them were out of breath and breathing heavily.

So, Orochimaru said, I see we have some late comers, Tsuki, you know the punishment, if your late for a meal then you can't have it. Oh, Sasuke-kun, since you are new and didn't know your off the hook. Now, Tsuki, off to your room.

She sighed and walked off. Oh well, at least Sasuke-san isn't being punished. So she showered, brushed her teeth and decided to go to bed early. She hugged her panda stuffed animal named Mashi-chan and fell asleep. After a while she felt someone nudging her arm and got up to see Sasuke holding a plate with some onigiri on it.

Wha-Shhhh, Sasuke said as he pressed his and on to her mouth so that she wouldn't make a sound. Tomorrow Orochimaru is planning something big and you're going to need your strength for it. Don't think that Im doing this out of the goodness of my heart because Im not. There isn't any of that left in me. The only reason Im doing this is because I need you to help me with something or you'll be less than useless with out your strength. Then he let go.

Well, what's happening tomorrow? Tsuki asked.

I can't tell you that, you'll have to find out when it happens according to Orochimaru's orders.

Well that isn't fair! -Shhhhh-Sorry, but why did he tell you but not me?

Orochimaru has his reasons.

I have a feeling that it's not a good idea. But well, thanks for the onigiri. Sasuke-KUN, Tsuki teased.

Right after that second when Sasuke heard his name called like that he immediately got flashbacks of Sakura, the one when he left her was most vivid of all.

No, stop! I thought I had already left my emotions behind! Ugh! Sasuke cried.

Wha what's wrong Sasuke-kun? Tsuki asked with great concern.

When Sasuke got a hold of himself, he said, Im fine, but don't ever call me that again, it awakens too many painful memories.

Oh, Okay, so I'll stick with Sasuke-san, is that ok?

Yeah, sure whatever.

Again with the attitude, why is he like this? Tsuki asked herself.

Well, when you finish eating, you should get a good night's rest, you'll need it. Sasuke said as he left.

Okay, she said as she finished the last crumb. When she was done she washed the plate and put it back. She pulled the covers of her bed and slept with a full stomach that night wondering what surprises the next day would hold.
