A/N: I have never written Naruto before. So, I'll understand if you flame me for this random fanfic that I made up in the middle of the night. I don't really have an understanding of TsunadexOrochimaru, so it was rather difficult to write something about those two. In any event, please R/R :) Comments and advice are much appreciated.
Disclaimer: Don't own anything, though it would be a nice change.
Apocalypse
The night was dark.
The female Hokage did not rouse herself to acknowledge the presence in the room.
Shifting on her bed, her back was now facing the mysterious intruder.
Oblivious – that's what she was.
For sleep had claimed her once again.
-----------------------------------------------
The Devil – that's what he was.
The very being of darkness.
The Sinner.
-----------------------------------------------
He was beautiful, in a grotesquely wonderful way.
The Devil was an elusive shadow.
Yet he had stopped, if only for a fleeting moment, for her.
All for her.
-----------------------------------------------
She woke with a start as she felt cold, slender arms snaking around her waist.
It was clear to her who the intruder was now.
Hesitantly, yet eagerly, she turned to meet the eyes of the Devil.
"Tsunade…"
The said person grimaced to hear her name uttered by this dark being.
"Why are you here?"
Her lone question echoed throughout the room.
She was silenced with a tawdry declaration of love – a kiss.
A slight brush to the lips; cold against warm.
That was the answer to her inquiry.
She broke apart and turned away, not daring to breathe.
-----------------------------------------------
Granted, luck had never been on her side since the moment of her birth.
She could not bring herself to understand why she was the reason for his passion.
Surely, the kiss held no real meaning.
Could he possibly love her? Or love anyone, for that matter?
No, of course not.
For he was the deceiving Devil; and yet she had fallen for his lies.
This dreary allegation could not have gotten any worse.
-----------------------------------------------
Closing her eyes to the intense, burning stare of the intruder, Tsunade sighed ever so softly.
No other sound was made, no speech was uttered, as the snake held its prey tightly, refusing to let go.
-----------------------------------------------
Perhaps, she thought, this wasn't who she imagined it to be.
Perhaps no one was there at all.
Perhaps this was all a nightmarish alternate universe that she had conjured up in her mind.
But no, it was too real.
It was no dream.
Gloom froze in the air as she admitted her defeat.
And the Devil smiled.
-----------------------------------------------
It wasn't every day that the sworn enemy of Konoha would appear in front of her. He wasn't here for delightful conversations. No.
He wanted her for himself. He wanted her body. He wanted her soul.
She would not let him.
"You can't have me."
His eyes turned cold. She was afraid to meet his gaze.
But it was all over now.
Morning would come, and he would be gone.
And one day, he would return to destroy and annihilate her, along with beloved Konoha.
Everything would be gone.
The world would cease to exist.
-----------------------------------------------
She had one question left to ask. The foolishness of her question overwhelmed her.
She had known the answer all along.
"Who are you?"
He was the Devil. Orochimaru.
But he did not say it. He did not say that sickly, dreaded word.
Instead, he cupped her face in the palm of his hand.
Leaning down towards her, he whispered,
"I am…the end of the world."
