Chapter 1: Orochimaru's Victory

The full moon was shining brightly in the dark sky as I stepped out of the shadows, leaning against one of the tall trees that surrounded the Hidden Village of the Blossoms. I looked above me as my sixteen year old apprentice silently landed on the branch above me. His smile flashed through the dark, "Everyone is ready, Sensei."

I couldn't help but feel the rush of excitement as it rushed through my body. Killing was one of my favourite things to do. I nodded and stepped away from the tree. "Give them the signal then, Kabuto. The time is perfect. I don't want any man, woman, or child spared. Except for the girl of course, but I'll be dealing with the Hanahara family personally... you just watch my back."

Kabuto nodded and instantly cupped his hands, sending out the call of an owl. Eight echoes followed before Kabuto jumped down beside me and nodded. "I'll be right behind you."

I grinned and quickly slid through the darkness and into the village. It wasn't long after that before the first scream could be heard throughout the village. The guards in the bell tower instantly began ringing the damn annoying thing, waking the shinobi and the rest of the village up. One of the shinobi stumbled out of his house and into my path, trying to quickly make the seals for an earth-based jutsu. I growled and struck out, my fist slamming through his chest until it stuck out the back. The shinobi tried to speak but couldn't. I just smiled down at him and twisted my arm out. "To slow." Turning to face Kabuto as my bloodthirsty shinobi ran around murdering everyone, I smiled before licking at the blood that was now dripping down my arm. "Looks like this might be the easiest village I've ever taken over."

Kabuto sighed and stepped forward with a clean handkerchief, wiping at the blood on my arm. "You always like being messy don't you, Sensei."

I narrowed my eyes but stayed silent as he finished his ministrations. Once he was done he tucked the bloody handkerchief into one of his pockets and smiled up at me. I reached up and tousled his hair before turning away and running towards the Hanahara Manor. I knew Kabuto would follow so I didn't say anything. Blood was pooled in many places along the pathways and cold lifeless eyes of the villagers stared up at me. This mayhem only widened my grin. I had just stepped into the Hanahara compound when three of the shinobi guarding the entrance jumped me from above. A chuckle escaped my mouth as two of the three crumpled to the ground with Kabuto's kunai buried in their necks. I caught the remaining shinobi by the throat and proceeded to rip it away from him, enjoying the feeling of his blood running down my wrist. "Poor thing. You're like a fly to me, nothing more." His eyes, already glazing over, just stared at me in disbelief before I dumped his body to the ground. The rustling of feet brought my attention away from the body to look up at the shinobi who had massed together to protect their leader.

Kabuto slid up beside me silently. "Do you want me to take care of them?"

I shook my head before quickly moving my hands in a short series of seals. The shinobi silently watched until the sound of whistling caught their attention. They looked up at the sky but couldn't see anything until tiny poison-tipped senbon needles started stabbing into their bodies. Shrieks went up as their bodies began to blister and their skin began to melt from their bones as if being eaten by acid. I looked at Kabuto and grinned again. "It's music to my ears."

Kabuto nodded and helped guide me past the still twitching bodies of the shinobi. His voiced hummed approval. "Beautiful work, Sensei. I could not have done better."

His praise made my excitement rise. It didn't take long to move through the shinobi that were placed all across the Hanahara compound and reach my destination. Sliding the bedroom doors back I chuckles as I watched the occupants cringe away from me as I entered. I touched Kabuto's arm to get his attention. "Guard the door. I hopefully won't be long."

Kabuto nodded before slowly sliding the doors closed. "Take as long as you need, Sensei."

I turned back around as soon as his voice was cut off and grinned. The whole Hanahara family was cowering before me. I slowly slid forward as my eyes caught sight of my target. Her black hair and silver eyes peeked out from behind her mother's kimono. I growled as her eldest brother stepped in front of them, blocking my view. "Hajime, it's advised that you not get in my way. You'll die slower if you do."

Katashi Hanahara's voice echoed authoritatively in the large room. "If you so much as touch a hair on my child's head, Orochimaru, I will make you wish you were never born."

I chuckled and slid forward a few inches, watching as his daughters and his wife scooted as close to the far wall as possible. "Is that so? Sounds like I might enjoy that, Katashi."

The Hanahara boys quickly unsheathed their katana and formed a circle around the females, even the youngest boy stood in front of his sisters. Hajime spoke this time, his voice shaking a little. "I won't let you touch my sisters, Orochimaru. You're nothing more than a monster and I'll protect them from your corruption."

Katashi put a hand on his son's arm while I narrowed my eyes. "Stay silent, Hajime." He turned his attention back to me with a low growl. "I know what you're planning but I won't let it happen. Tsuki isn't a pawn to use in war."

The youngest son spoke this time, his voice a high whine. "He's after our Tsuki?!" He tugged at his father's kimono sleeve. "Why does he want Tsuki?"

Katashi didn't answer; instead he pushed his youngest back towards his other sons and sighed. "Keep him safe, boys."

I grinned as I watched Katashi begin forming the seals for one of his most powerful earth-based jutsus. Moving faster than anyone could see, I glided forward until I was standing in front of Katashi and jabbed one of my poisoned senbons, courtesy of Kabuto, into his wrist. "To slow, old man."

Katashi's hand dropped to his side, temporarily paralyzed, but seconds later his foot landed against my chest and sent me flying backwards. "Looks like you're the old man, Orochimaru."

I took that time to replace myself with a replication and quietly slid behind Katashi's eldest son while my other body hit the door with a loud thud. Hajime's gasp caused Katashi to turn around, followed by his sons. I grinned and slowly traced a finger along Hajime's jaw while I gripped both his wrists in one of my hands, squeezing tightly. My breath whispered across the shaking boy's ear causing him to release a soft whimper. "I warned you about getting in my way, boy."

Katashi made a move as if wanting to step forward but I quickly bared my fangs at him, effectively stopping him. "Orochimaru."

I chuckled and slowly licked the side of his son's neck. "Yes, Katashi? I'm kind of busy right now."

Katashi narrowed his eyes and growled. "Let my son go. He has nothing to do with this."

I arched a brow. "Oh, but you're wrong Katashi. He has everything to do with my plans. If he lives he'll just get in my way. Like all the others."

Before Katashi could say anything I sank my fangs into his sons exposed neck and quickly poured venom into his blood stream. I let him go just as he started to jerk and scratch at his neck as pain rolled through his body. Katashi ran over and grabbed his falling son seconds before he hit the floor. I swept away from the angry Katashi and grabbed the next closest person to me which happened to be the youngest daughter. I quickly sank my teeth into her fragile neck and held on, backing away from the very angry father. "Orochimaru!" My growl was the only answer as Katashi stood, his now dead son sliding to the floor. "I'm going to kill you, you bastard!"

His hands struggled to fly through some seals as I felt the earth begin to buckle beneath me. I quickly ripped my fangs out of the little girl's throat and shoved her towards her now screaming mother. Roots flew up from the floorboards and wrapped around my ankles. I looked down at the coiling ropes and grinned. "Is that all you got, old man? If so your children are in far more danger than before. You're already down two. Three more to go... then I'm going to make you watch as your wife dies, slowly being consumed by my poison."

The eldest daughter, rage blinding her, charged at me with a long kunai. I disappeared seconds before she would have stabbed me and grabbed her by her hair. I slammed her into the far wall, ripping the kunai from her weakened grip and dashed past the youngest boy before shoving the blade into the second eldest son's chest. Katashi's wife, Emi, screamed and scrambled over to her son as he dropped to the floor, blood pooling around him and soaking her kimono. "Rokurota! Rokurota! Rokurota!"

Turning my attention away from the woman I looked over at the now exposed Tsuki and grinned. She was just standing there staring up at me while she held a small black rabbit in her tiny hands. I softened my smile and moved toward her while dodging the vines that were trying to trap me. I heard Katashi curse but only stopped when I felt a small blade pierce the back of my leg. I turned and looked down at the little boy with piercing green eyes. His tiny lip was trembling and tears were gliding down his rosy cheeks. "Leave her alone. You're just a big monster!"

Hearing Katashi start running, I turned around and let one of my snakes drop from my right sleeve. It quickly slivered across the floor and wrapped its strong coils around the man's legs. Waiting until he tumbled to the floor cursing I turned back to the little boy beside me. I knelt down until I could look him in the eyes and smiled. "Are you sure I'm a monster?" I let one of my pale fingers slide across his baby soft skin as he nodded. "And you won't let me have your big sister?"

He shook his head and huffed. "No! You can't have her! She's my sister!"

Shrugging I slowly slid my hand around the boy's tiny neck and picked him up, allowing his kicking feet to dangle in the air. His voice choked off and his face turned red and he scratched at my hand. "It's a shame, little Daisuki. I might have allowed you to live if you'd have allowed me to have her. I'll just kill you and take her anyways."

I was about to tighten my grip on his neck when soft delicate hands wrapped around my wrist and stopped me. "Please, please let my brother go."

I looked down at Katashi's eldest daughter and arched a brow. "Oh? And why should I?"

A blush stole across her ivory cheeks as her silver and green eyes stared up at me. Her voice cracked when she tried to speak and her hand tightened against my wrist. I slowly relaxed my grip on the boy's neck and allowed him to catch his breath. "I... I'll... do... I'll do whatever you..." She looked down as her whole face turned red. "I'll do whatever you want."

I reached up with my free hand and cupped her soft cheek, rubbing a thumb across it. "Is that so?" I quickly threw the boy away from me, hearing him land roughly against the far wall. When the girl turned to look at her brother I brought my other hand up to grip her chin. Her eyes flashed angrily but I only chuckled as I moved forward, pressing her back against the wall. Her breath hitched and her hands slid down to grasp my shirt. "That might be very interesting." I quickly made more clones when Katashi and her younger brother went to charge at me. I didn't want any distractions.

Her hair slid over her eyes and she swallowed nervously. "What will it take for you to leave them alive?" Her voice was barely a whisper.

I caressed her cheek before allowing one of my thumbs to brush across her bottom lip. "Maybe a kiss?" I watched her nod before I chuckled lightly. This was going to be fun. I leaned down until my breath brushed along her painted lips and reached up to grab a handful of her thick black hair. She gasped and I quickly pressed my lips against hers, forcing my tongue into her warm mouth. Her head jerked back at the invasion but my hand in her hair stopped the movement. I pressed my body against hers as I felt her hands slide along my hip and around to my back. I knew what she was aiming to get so I quickly snaked my hands around hers and slammed them against the wall as I bit against her lower lip.

She moaned involuntarily while her hands fisted against the wall and tried to pull out of mine. "Let me touch you." Her words were whispered against my cheek while I moved to kiss the base of her neck.

I chuckled but shook my head. "I like being dominant, Natsumi. It's my nature." I pressed her downwards until we both were kneeling and then I slid her to the floor, my mouth not leaving her skin. She tasted like berries. Beautiful women were always an obsession for me.

I faintly heard her father cursing at me when I heard a cry of pain echo across the room. I turned and peeked through my hair until I could see the man holding his bleeding son, a snake still biting into his throat. Natsumi's breath hitched when I turned my attention back to her mouth. I hummed in satisfaction when her tongue darted out to caress my lips. Moving my knee in between her legs I spread them apart so I could settle my hips against hers, enjoying the constant hitches in her breathing at my ministrations. "Orochimaru." Her voice shook with anger but she tried to hide it by kissing me again.

I released one of her wrists and allowed my free hand to roughly pull at the obi holding her kimono closed. I knew she had something planned but I wanted to see how far I could get before she tried killing me. I smiled against her neck when I felt her freed hand slide back down my side, heading towards my stash of kunai. I leaned back a little once the obi was unwrapped by my rough tugging and I gently slid the sides of the kimono open, which allowed me to see the girl's soft, ivory skin. Her breasts were bound by a breast band. I pulled out the tiny blade she had hidden underneath the band which made her catch her breath and hold it until she saw it cut through the binding. A blush stole across her cheeks and down her neck as I reached up and cupped one of the heavy orbs. "So very beautiful."

Just as I was leaning down to kiss her honey coloured nipple I felt her pull one of my kunai free and stab downwards, intending to kill me with it. Without stopping what I was doing I reached back and grabbed her wrist, slamming it to the floor above her head just as my mouth wrapped around her nipple. Her back arched off the floor and her breath hissed out as she growled. "Bastard!"

I chuckled and felt her shiver as my voice vibrated along her skin. I slowly shifted my hips and pressed tightly against her, allowing her to feel my excitement. She shivered involuntarily again. Too bad I was going to have to kill her. I pulled back after a few more seconds of suckling on her nipple and looked down at her for the longest moment for sighing. "It's such a waste killing you, even though you could tempt the god's from the heavens." Before she could speak I leaned down again and pressed my fangs into her delicate breast, piercing the skin and releasing my venom.

Her shriek of pain dragged Katashi's head back up just as I moved off of his daughter. She screamed and clawed at her chest for the longest time before she slowly weakened and then finally stopped moving all together. A whimper left her lips seconds before she died. Katashi growled and slowly stood. I turned to look at him and grinned as he began speaking. "You killed my family. You killed them all for your sick and twisted plans. Why? Why didn't you just let them go?"

I shrugged and slowly moved to the side as he stepped forward. I watched him wearily knowing he was more dangerous than his children. A whimper caught both our attentions before we turned to look at his wife as she curled up around her second eldest son. I arched a brow and looked back at the heartbroken man. "I guess she didn't care about her other children?"

Katashi growled and dived forward, bringing the roots along with him. I dodged him and kicked out against his knees. I intended to slam my fist into his face but the roots quickly wrapped around me, preventing the attack. I growled and fought against them, ripping them away from me. Katashi turned and slammed his fist into my chest, knocking the air from my lungs. I narrowed my eyes when his hand grabbed a handful of my hair and jerked my head up to look at him. "She loved them with everything she had. He was her favourite. Now he's gone. They're all gone besides Tsuki. I won't let you have her you bastard. Ever!"

A kunai appeared in his hand second before he stabbed it through my chest and into my heart. I screamed and struggled against the roots holding me. I looked up at him as blood slipped out of the corners of my mouth and grinned, spitting a few drops at him. "Is that all you got, old man? After all I've done to your children?

An angry growl escaped him as he pulled the knife out again and sliced across my chest. I just grunted this time, not giving him the satisfaction of hearing my fake cry of pain. He couldn't kill me with just a kunai. Well... he couldn't kill me at all as a matter of fact. "I'll make you pay, bastard. You're a monster that deserves to go to the deepest level of hell and rot there!" He stabbed the kunai into my chest again.

I arched a brow at his words before disappearing, allowing the roots to drop to the floor. It didn't take me long to slip in behind Katashi's curled up wife and grab her by the hair. Her shrieks didn't bother me any as I pulled her up to stand in front of me seconds before Katashi moved to run at me. He stopped short and glared. I tightened my grip on the screaming woman while I stared over at Katashi as he shook with rage. "I think it's you who will die tonight, Katashi Hanahara, leaving me alone with your precious daughter."

The woman struggling in my arms growled and kicked out at me with her foot, hitting me in the shin. "Don't you touch my daughter, you monster! Don't you dare touch her!" Her voice was rising louder and louder.

I growled against her hair before I slowly pulled the kunai out of my chest. The blade slowly slid down the base of her neck, stopping at the top of her kimono. "I'd advise you to shut up, woman, before I give you something to scream about."

Katashi narrowed his eyes while he started making the seals for one of his family's most dangerous water jutsus, a twelve pillar water prison used to drown enemies. I stepped back away from him and pressed the kunai slightly into the now whimpering woman's chest. "Ashi, help!"

I laughed when his hands stopped on the last seal. His voice was gruff as he spoke. "What do you want, Orochimaru. What will satisfy your bloodlust?"

"You already know what, Katashi Hanahara. You don't have to ask."

Katashi slumped to the floor and buried his face in his hands. "You know I can't. You know I can't just give you my daughter without a fight, Orochimaru. She's mine. My flesh and blood." His words slid into a whisper.

I chuckled as I slowly kissed his wife's neck, feeling the beating pulse beneath the skin. "That's a shame, Katashi. Such a shame." I quietly watched as Katashi raised his head and stared up at me with all the hate in the world. I suckled on his wife's neck while he watched, letting him hear her frightened mewl while she tried to pull away from me.

"Please."

I slowly bared my fangs, dragging them back and worth against her skin.

"You don't have to, Orochimaru."

His wife struggled some more as I chuckled against her pulse.

"Anything but my wife and daughter."

I pressed my fangs down into her skin lightly, only drawing a few drops of blood.

"Please. No." His voice was only a whisper.

Licking the coppery drops up I grinned and moved down to kiss along her shoulder for a few moments. "It's too late for begging, Katashi. I will have your daughter in the end."

His eyes closed just as my fangs stabbed into his wife's shoulder. She stiffened against me and tried pulling away again just as the pain began burning through her veins. Her body started to shake as I allowed her to drop to the ground. Her cries of pain didn't affect me as I watched her jerk on the floor, clawing at her own throat trying to stop the burn, the pain. To stop it all.

The last think Katashi saw before he slumped to the floor with my sword through his chest was his remaining daughter reaching forward to shake her dying mother, tears staining her tiny cheeks. "Tsuki..."

I sighed and pulled my sword out of him, wiping it off on his shirt. "Kabuto!"

My assistant popped in front of me in a cloud of smoke, smiling. "Are you finished, Sensei?"

I nodded before turning to look down at the last remaining Hanahara. My voice was soft when I spoke to Kabuto. "I want you to clean this mess up, Kabuto. And then I want you to tell the others to do the same with all the other bodies. This will be our new village. I don't want to have to stare at bloodstains every day." Kabuto nodded and disappeared just as quickly as he had appeared moments ago.

I slowly walked over and knelt down in front of the small girl, trying not to scare her. "Hello, Tsuki."

She stayed silent for a few seconds while she cuddled against her black rabbit. Blood stained her hands and matted the rabbit's fur. "Hi."

I reached out to tuck back a stray piece of her hair but she took a step back, her eyes widening. I stopped what I was doing and sighed. "Are you scared of me, Tsuki?"

"No."

I arched a brow. "Even after what I just did?"

She nodded and moved forward slowly. Her hand reached out and she touched a lock of my hair, running her fingers down it. "Father taught me not to be scared of killing. He said that one day I might have to take someone's life and that I shouldn't shy away from death."

"Oh?" I hummed my confusion for a few seconds before I shrugged. At least it was better for her not to be scared of me. This way she won't put up a fight.

Her hand reached down and traced along my throat, placing a few fingers against my pulse. "Are you afraid of me?"

Did she really just say that? I sighed and shook my head. "There isn't anything to be afraid of."

"You should be." It took me a few seconds to realize what she said before I felt a tiny kunai slide into my neck. Her tiny hands pushed the blade as far in as possible before she released it and looked up into my surprised eyes. "Just because I'm small doesn't mean I'm weak."

I quickly reached up and tugged the tiny kunai out, hissing at the pain as it slid out of my skin. I guess she was gonna put up a fight but that wasn't going to kill me. I grabbed her by the neck and stood up, taking her with me. The rabbit dropped from her hands as she wrapped her tiny hands around my wrists to stop herself from choking. "It's going to take more than that to kill me, little butterfly." As if to prove a point I watched her eyes widen when the wound began to heal, closing completely.

Her silver eyes flicked back up to mine and she just glared. "That's no fair."

I chuckled and tucked her in against my body, hugging her tight so she wouldn't struggle. "There isn't anything in life that is fair, Tsuki." She growled against my chest but didn't say anything while I stepped around the bodies of her dead family. "But there isn't any need to be afraid of me either, Tsuki. I have big plans for you. I'll make you very happy, more so than your father ever could." She started to wiggle trying to get down but I tightened my hold on her and slowly ran my fingers through her silky black hair. "You'll be my pride, Tsuki. Someone very special." Her growl was the only answer. I just smiled as I stepped through the door and out into the night.
