Of lies, love and lost

by KHwhitelion

Sakura is the daughter of Orochimaru. Kabuto is a Hyuuga. Things aren't always what they seem. A series of short drabbles revealing parts of both their lives that were left out of Kishimoto's story. Parts that occur only under their true identity.

1. The things we miss

Once again done for a writer's meme on deviantart, but this time I used characters from the theory of mine (and Anaxn) that Sakura is Orochimaru's daughter, and Kabuto is a Hyuuga.

Sakura looked out the window, a breeze drifting through and ruffling her black hair. She closed her eyes, her mind drifting back to thoughts of her childhood. Of her time spent in Sound country. Of her father, Orochimaru. Of her proclaimed older brother, Kabuto.

She shook her head, reaching up with an unnaturally pale hand to wipe the sweat beads beginning to dot her forehead. It still felt unusual to not to wear her genjutsu—the one that concealed her true form and gave her the appearance of a pink haired, green eyed girl. But Sakura didn't feel much like wearing it at the moment. Her mind was too preoccupied with thoughts of her past.

She couldn't say she missed Sound country—if she did that would be a lie—but she did miss Kabuto. He had become a sort of father figure in her life, since her real father was often too busy to take care of her.
