Ayako waited patiently for Hatake Kakashi in the special grove in a secluded place in the village hidden in the was a warm night, and she couldn't deny that.

Where are you Kakashi?

They had come to a decision on their want to take it futher. Ayako wanted Kakashi more than anyone. She wanted to be his wife. His love for all eternity.

Someone crunched some leaves underfoot.

'Kakashi?'

'No my love.' A sly voice said mencingly. 'but you were close.'

It was the Serpentine Sannin. The one who haunted her dreams. Her thoughts.

Orochimaru.

'Oro-oro-chimaru.' She stuttered in absolute fear. She stumbled backwards , trying to get her kunai holder, but it was gone.

'Come my dear.' Orochimaru smiled his demonic smile. Ayako cringed when his gaze wondered over her body. ' I have come to take you as my bride.'

'Bri-bride?'

'Yes.'

She pushed him away, but he was too strong. Overpowering. Ayako closed her hazel eyes and cried. The man wasn't human, her was the manifestation of Death.

'Don't cry.' He said in Ayako's ear, almost in a sexual slur.

'No…'

'and in the land of snow, when we where stuck in that cave in the blizzard.'

Ayako was wide eyed. It was him. Him.

'It wasn't you…it was kakashi. Kakashi was with me.'

Orochimaru grinned.

'But it was. I remember the distinct taste of fire upon your full lips…'

He lowered his face and locked her gaze. She didn't know what to do. Refuse him and properly get killed, or let him have his way, and be thrown to the side like a piece of dirt. A impossible decision. Like before, the Serpentine Shinobi grinned and plunged a kiss on Ayako. She didn't know what to do.

Orochimaru wanted this woman. She was the thing that he needed the most. Her touch, her love…but she didn't reciprocate her feelings.

Ayako slowly moved her lips with him. His hand wandered through her white hair. Ayako moved her head away from Orochimaru, so he kissed a burning trail down her neck. Widening his mouth, he bit down. Her scream echoing through the forest.

One way or another, you will recognise that you belong to me for eternity…
