-Jasmine

"Jasmine-himi (Princess Jasmine), come here child I want to speak with you." I walked over toward the person I've come to recognize as a type of father figure. His hair cascaded over his shoulders, his golden eyes glinted with malice and concentrated evil desire. The kimono that I was wearing came to the floor and was equipted with hiding places for weapons of almost all kinds. My hair was almost as long as Orochimaru's and if anybody didn't know that he had original 'stole' me from my villiage people would think we were father and daughter. Although we kind of are.

"You wanted me, Ototu-san (father)?" I bowed my head. Orochimaru chuckled and told me to raise my head.

"Child, you know you don't have to bow in front of me. Demo (but), I brought you here because we need to speak about your coming of the age of fifteen. I need you to kill one person who means something to you. Whether it be a type of rivalry, hatred, or love and cherishment. Kill them." My brow furrowed in a confused glance toward Orochimaru.

"Nani (what)? What do you mean, Ototu-san? Do you want me to kill someone really precious to me?"

"In a way, yes. Its the only way you'll be able to surpass one of myother students."

"If you say so, Father. Demo I will not kill you." I confused him this time.

"What do you mean, child?"

"You're one of the few people who mean the most to me, demo I can not, and will not kill you." Orochimaru nodded in understanding, bowing my head I left the snake designed throne room. 'Mother, my rival, my demise. You will die today!' "Kabuto-san, Where is Okaa-san?" My grey-haired childhood friend started to walk with me. "Have you seen her?"

"Iie (no), as far as I know she was in her bedroom." Kabuto said.

"Arigato (thank you), Nii-san." I smiled at him and headed in the other direction. 'Today is the day mother...' I walked the twenty-four feet to her bedroom, masked my chakra, and silently crept into her bedroom. She lay fast asleep under her covers. Time to torture her like she tortured me.

Managing out chakra strings through my finger tips I strangled her around the neck and pulled it so tight that she woke and gasped for air. While she was fidgeting and trying to restrain the strangulation I was busy coming up behind her with a kunai in each hand. Cutting the strings I had cut her throat and the crimson sticky liquid coated my blade. I laughed evilly and took my other kunai and jabbed it into her stomach. Her blood leaked onto my hand and spilled onto the floor creating a small pool.

"I don't see why you had me kill someone... but it felt amazing to relieve myself and... well take my anger out on her." I dropped my mother's limp and frozen dead body to the rug. My clothes were stained with the same blood that runs through my own veins, but nothing matters any more. "Now, could you please tell me why I had to kill someone?" I placed my hands on my hips and glared at Orochimaru.

"It was to prepare you for the life to come my dear. Now come we must go meet a friend of mine." Orochimaru ushered me out of the room and down many hallways, more than I ever knew existed in one place. About a half hour later we stopped at a forest and waited there. After a few minutes an auburn haired man came into sight. "I see you have come Rei-dono! This is the young lady, my daughter Jasmine, I was talking about." I bowed my head in respect to the new comer.

"I see. Will she be joining you?" the deep voice of Rei-dono rang throughout the forest. A chill went up my spine. 'What does he mean?'

"I beg pardon for my interuption, demo what do you mean, 'joining him'? Ototu-san whats going on?" I looked up at the glint that shown in his deep gold eyes.

"I want you to join an organization, at first as a maid and subordinate, I have already joined previous to your birthday."

"Nani? What do you mean by 'Organization'?" He sighed and look down at me disappointed. "GomenNasai (I'm sorry), demo I don't think it would be the right place for me." This time another person sighed. A blue man came out of the shadows.

"Mine doesn't understand either, Rei-dono. I see you're already here Orochimaru."

"Jasmine, leave. I never want to see you..." His whispered words struck into me like a knife. They hurt me so much.

"N-never want to...Ototu-sama, what...what are you talking about? Don't do this to me! I- I thought you cared about me!" I started to run blindly. Why would he just ...abandon me? I ran toward anything nothing mattered...Well, things do matter just not where I'm going at the moment.

I ran through trees, bushes, and puddles, anything to find a way away from my father Orochimaru. I wonder though...were am I going to end up?

Running and running. Branches cut my legs and ripped the bottom of my kimono apart. My legs carried me into a forest far away from where I've ever roamed. Chakra pumped through my veins and into the soil to carry me farther, I wanted anything but to live the life I was going to lead. Why couldn't Orochimaru just stay at where he was? Seated at the right hand of power.

Was I a Pawn? A mere part of some plot that's easily thrown away?

Nane(why)? Why would he do that? Nothing makes sense anymore…..
