Disclaimer: I only own Destiny, Ranef and the kids that come in in like the last chapter. Chapter One

"We're almost there! I can't wait to see the castle!!!" Naruto
excitedly said.
"Calm down, baka," Sasuke said.
"Wow, I can't believe that we get to go to the capitol of Konoha! It's where lord Ranef lives, and we get to stay in the palace!" Sakura squealed.
"Hey, calm down. You have to behave around lord Ranef. He's said to be very strict." Kakashi said, opening his book.
"But, why are all the chounins going?" Sakura asked.
"Well, it's a very important mission."
"Then why did you bring us?" Sasuke asked.
"Well, I thought it would be good experience for you to travel a bit and meet the rulers and such," Kakashi turned the page, "just promise me you will not act like Naruto, and Naruto, don't act like yourself."
"So, in other words, behave and have manners?" Sakura asked, Kakashi nodded.
"Hey! Stupid... bakas!" Naruto said.
They entered into the palace courtyard.
"Ah! I see you have finally arrived!" A short fat man stood up from the edge of a fountain.
"Lord Ranef," Kakashi bowed, "forgive us, but we are just a little late-"
"-A little late?! You were due here an hour ago! I don't see why I should put up with you ninjas!"
"Maybe because you need our help!" Naruto said.
"What? How dare you, a mere commoner, address me in such a way!?" Ranef razed his hand to hit Naruto, but just then one of the woman that was sitting at the pond with him stood up.
"My lord, if you wish I will show them their sleeping quarters! You put me in charge of things overseeing the matters of the ninjas, remember," her voice was smooth and soft. Her long black hair reached to about her ankles and her eyes were a strange green.
"Ah yes," Ranef turned to the ninjas, "this is my councilor, Destiny. She is in charge of you, and she will now show you to your rooms."
"Very well then, let's go." Kakashi and all the other chounins followed the slender woman into the palace.
"First room belongs to Kakashi. I was pre-warned that you had brought your students, so I gave you the biggest room."
"Thank you very much," Kakashi bowed his head then walked in with Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura following him.
"Now, the second belongs to... Mr. Gai."
About half an hour later, all the chounins were put into their room except for one.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have any other names on the list," Destiny said looking at the tall pale man with dark hair that stood before her.
"I was told to come here, perhaps there was some mistake?" He said.
"Uh, yes. Just give me your name, the only empty room left is next to mine, and that's on the other side of the palace."
"That's fine. My name is Orochimaru."
"Very well then, please follow me." She turned around and began walking.
Orochimaru looked her up and down. Her kimono only came to her knees, and her legs were very, very pleasing to his eyes. Her right arm hung at her side, and her let was holding plenty of papers.
"Oh my!" Destiny suddenly stopped as she heard barking.
"Oh no! The dogs must have gotten in here somehow!" The barking sounded like it came closer, and before any of them could do anything, Destiny was pushed back into Orochimaru's arms, her papers flying everywhere.
"Rex, Rex stop it!" An enormous wolf-like dog jumped on them, knocking them back and having them land on each other in the most improper way.
"No! Those are my papers! Please stop it!" A couple other dogs of the same species started tearing through her papers.
"Please stop!" But she was knocked back onto Orochimaru again.
"Allow me to handle this," Orochimaru stood up and helped Destiny stand as well.
"Stop it now!" The dogs immediately complied. "Now, go outside," he said in a forceful manner. The dogs backed away slowly, then ran down the hallway.
"Are you alright?" He looked to Destiny who was trying to pick up all her papers.
"I-I'm fine, thank you." She stood up with a depressed look on her face.
"Here, let me help," Orochimaru bent down and picked up all the papers.
"Th-thank you!"
"My pleasure..." he smiled a vicious smile, and when she turned around to lead him to his room, he began to lick his lips at the thoughts he was thinking.
"Here, your room is here," Destiny breathed a sigh.
"You look stressed," he took her hand and led her in his room.
"Uh, I should get back to tell lord Ranef, now that everyone is settled..."
"Wait just a little while, you seem to worry to much..." he closed the curtains, and made her sit next to him.
"Here, just relax now," he placed his hands on her shoulders and began to massage them, "I think Ranef pushes you to hard, and doesn't give you enough credit..."
Destiny forgot about the uncomfortable environment, "yes, I do have a lot of work, but I don't deserve any credit..."
"Why not?" He whispered in her ear.
Destiny jumped off the bed, "uh... I should really get to lord Ranef..." her face was red, and she started to slowly walk towards the door.
"Very well..." Orochimaru opened the door for her, "if you feel that you can't take it anymore, remember to come to me..." he said in his soothing voice.
"I-I'll remember..."
"You said your room is the one next to mine, correct?"
"Y-yes..." she froze as she looked into his eyes, and he moved forward until she was trapped between the wall and him.
"You shouldn't keep lord Ranef waiting..." he caressed her cheek, and she slowly nodded.
"See you later then..." and he watched her walk down the hall way in a bewildered state.
