Chapter One

x.X.x

Orochimaru was sitting in his room in his hideout close to the Sound Country when he heard screaming coming from down the hall, he raised his head in curiosity as he stood up and walked out of his room and down the hall towards the screaming, he wondered what Kabuto had brought into his hideout today, perhaps a new person for him to experiment on?

Orochimaru turned the corner and found both Sasuke and Kabuto restraining a woman as they held her pressed against the wall, when she saw Orochimaru she immediately managed to rip away from their grips and pulled out a Kunai and aimed straight for his heart as she lunged at him and snarled.

Orochimaru watched as Kabuto tried to grab for her but before he could take hold of her Orochimaru had smacked her through the face and she fell down against the wall for about a second before jumping up again and as she tried to attack him again but Sasuke and Kabuto had grabbed her by her shoulders and held her hands tightly as they pulled the Kunai from her hands and tossed it onto the floor. "What is this?" Orochimaru asked as he stared at the female.

She was probably in her twenties, she had black hair that were longer than his but was standing wildly on her head, as if she had been dragged through a thorn bush and by her looks it seemed she might've been dragged through one. She was scraped and full of cuts from head to toe and her one eye had a deep gash above it as she kept that eye closed as the blood slipped over the eyelid and down her cheek. Her eyes were violet and the one that was open was staring at him with such anger it confused him, her lips were pulled back and her teeth revealed as she snarled at him angrily. "Let me go so that I can kill this bastard!" She screamed as she tried to pull free from their grip but they held onto her tighter and Kabuto placed her in a headlock as he pulled her head back.

"You will show proper respect to Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto yelled and she snapped around and spit on Kabuto suddenly, he growled at her and slapped her through her face before grabbing her again and Orochimaru walked towards the girl and grabbed her by her chin and forced her face towards his, she opened her other eye now and stared at him with hate.

"I'm showing him all the respect he deserves!" She spat out as she stared at him angrily and Orochimaru turned towards Kabuto and waited for a response from them about what was going on as he still clutched the girls chin.

"We found her sneaking in the halls, when we tried to apprehend her she started to run towards your chambers, we caught her just before she reached you, we don't know anything else." Kabuto said and Sasuke nodded in agreement, Orochimaru stared at her now, looking into her violet eyes with his golden snake eyes.

"Who are you and who sent you?" He asked and she looked away from him angrily.

"You'll have to fucking kill me to get me to tell you anything you worthless piece of SHIT!" She snarled as she snapped her head back towards him and suddenly pulled her head loose from his grip and bit him on his hand. He yelped in shock as he pulled it out of her mouth, but not before she had taken a piece of flesh from his hand, she spit it onto the ground as his blood was dripping down her mouth. "You taste as disgusting as you are you fucking murderer." She yelled at him and Orochimaru pulled back his hand and slapped her through her face so hard that she recoiled, leaving streaks of blood across her face as he had hit her with his bleeding hand.

"Take this animal to the dungeons; I'll deal with her later." He hissed angrily as he held his hand and walked back towards his room to heal his wound and recover the lost flesh.

x.X.x

Kabuto and Sasuke shoved the woman into the iron prison and quickly locked the chamber as they looked at her, she stood in an aggressive pose as she looked towards them and Kabuto was confused by her actions, she was as violent as an animal. "Get the fuck away from me." She hissed out, her language was unrefined and she seemed like she hated everything in life.

"What a hateful woman." Kabuto said as he turned away from her and left the chamber as Sasuke followed behind him, not saying anything to the woman or Kabuto.

x.X.x

A few hours later Kabuto came towards Orochimaru and entered his room, he saw as his master was sitting on the chair as he read and his hand was fully recovered, his healing capabilities were truly remarkable as he could re-grow limbs in a few seconds if he chose to do so. "Should I feed the girl?" He asked and Orochimaru put down the book and stared at Kabuto.

"No, leave her, I will deal with her and neither you, nor Sasuke will have any interaction with that animal." He said and Kabuto gave a nod as he left the room, he wasn't one to question what Orochimaru said, if he wanted the girl to starve it was his choice.

x.X.x

It was late at night when Orochimaru finally stood up and left the room, heading towards the dungeon. He would not give her anything to eat as she had done nothing to deserve a meal and if she was truly hungry she could eat at herself like she had bitten him, it didn't seem below her.

x.X.x

He reached the dungeon and found her sitting in the edge of the prison, when she saw him she narrowed her eyes but did not make any snarling noises or act like an animal. Her knees were brought up to her chin and her hands folded around them as she lay her head down on it, looking away from Orochimaru again.

He looked at her attire and didn't recognize her as a Ninja from any of the five nations, she was wearing black pants and a white shirt that was stained with blood, she had no forehead protector yet she had acted like a rabid ninja and even tried to cut him with a kunai.

"Who are you?" He repeated and she didn't respond in any fashion as she still lay her head down on her knees, she was bare feet and he saw the remains of black nail polish on her toes, though it had long since worn off to a few patches of black on each toenail. "You'll make it easier on yourself if you answer." He said calmly and she didn't respond to him.

He waited in front of the prison for a few minutes before speaking again. "Very well, you will remain here then on the assumption that you are part of the ANBU or other organization sent to spy on me, you will die in that cell." He said and then walked away. Once he was out of the dungeon the girl lifted her head and looked at where he had stood. Her eyes darkened with anger and then she lay her head down again, staring at the wall with fury.

x.X.x

(Next Day – Morning)

Orochimaru stood up after his rest and walked out of his room and towards the dungeon again, he had the girl locked in that cell for almost an entire day. Most people cracked under captivity and he had no qualms that she wouldn't crack; everyone always cracked at some point.

x.X.x

When he got to the dungeon he saw her sitting in the same spot against the wall, the only difference was that she was asleep. He narrowed his eyes as he used his snake hands to reach into the cell and used them to lift her into the air. He saw her eyes were closed as her head leaned backwards as she was held upright in the air by the snakes.

"Wake up." He commanded and almost immediately her eyes snapped open and glared at him, when she saw the snakes around her she struggled until he let her go and she fell onto the cell floor. She got up and stood towards him aggressively as she stared into his eyes angrily. "Who are you and why did you come here?" He asked and she didn't move as she stared at him.

"Go to hell and die." She said and he gave a calm laugh, he had no reason to get angry at her as she was in the disadvantaged position; she was the one sitting the cell and slowly growing hungrier by the minute, she was the one who was in danger.

"You can keep up that façade or you can answer me and live to tell the tale." He said, knowing very well he had no intention of letting her go alive, but he would let her think it was a possibility. He hated lying as he had stated a thousand times before but sometimes it was required.

"I will live to tell the tale, once I get out of here and rip your head from your body and burn the rest, I will go and tell it to anyone willing to listen while I dangle your head by your hair." She growled out angrily and Orochimaru didn't like that answer at all.

"Such hate in such a young person, as you've seen it hasn't gotten you far, and your false promises of my death won't get you far either." He said and smirked. "If you even had a fraction of the strength required to kill me you would've mopped the floor with Kabuto and Sasuke. You are nothing but a weak, angered and pathetic girl." He said and then turned around and walked out; he would visit her once a day and see how she was wearing down without food or water.

x.X.x

(Next Day)

Orochimaru was standing in front of her cell with his arms crossed, her face was a pallid color and her hair appeared dry and brittle. "Ready to speak yet, or would you prefer to starve to death?" He asked her and she looked up at him, even though she seemed weak her eyes held such anger it baffled him.

"You are no less a monster than I had expected, I would rather drink my own blood and eat my own flesh than give you anything you want." She said angrily and he heard her voice was cracking at the dryness of her throat and he smirked.

"Is that so? I actually want to see you do that more than I want an answer from you, it's always so much fun to watch as someone kills themselves slowly." He said and she huffed angrily as she looked away from him and he knew he was getting to her one step at a time.

"Get the fuck away from me or kill me." She said and he smirked as he left the dungeon, he had no desire to kill her as he was sure she would reveal things to him soon enough and even if she didn't he could take it from her corpse by cruel means that were forbidden all over the world.

x.X.x

(2 Days Later)

Orochimaru was inside of the dungeon at staring at her as she was asleep again, it had been four days since she last had food or water, he suspected she had eaten the same day that he had captured her before coming to him. "Wake up." He demanded and she opened her eyes, but didn't lift herself up from the floor.

She looked towards him and saw as he held a bottle of water in his hands and her lips felt chapped and her throat dry, she didn't even have saliva to make her throat moist or her mouth. Was this his idea of torture? "Go away…" She said softly as her throat felt parched, she didn't have the energy to scream at him, she was starving and thirsty and he was trying to tempt her, but she would rather die that tell him anything he wanted to hear.

"I'll give you this bottle of water if you answer me this, what is your name?" He asked and she grunted as she looked towards him.

"I won't give you anything, not my real name, a fake name or even someone else's name. Keep your water and go away." She hissed at him and he seemed surprised by her answer.

"Why would you do that? You could've given me a fake name and I wouldn't have been any wiser as you said and you won't even do that? Haven't you noticed that you're dying?" He asked her and she pulled herself up and sat against the wall as she stared at him weakly, her violet eyes paled down to a faded lilac color.

"I won't even answer that, go away and take your bloody water with, you spineless bastard." She muttered softly and he growled at her, was she truly that suicidal that she would rather die in a cell than answer the simplest of questions he asked her?

"Fine, this is your life you're throwing away; I can do without your answers as the only thing that is compelling me to ask is curiosity." He hissed as he left the dungeon angrily, throwing the bottle of water on the floor and she had to watch in torture as the cap fell off and the water spilled onto the ground a few feet away from her cell.

He walked straight to Kabuto's room; he had a theory about the girl that he would need Kabuto to test out on his behalf, as she would not trust him by any means, and Kabuto had proven to be such an accomplished actor when it came to deceiving people.

x.X.x

"You want me to do what?" Kabuto asked in shock and Orochimaru nodded to say he was quite serious about it and Kabuto stared at him wide-eyed as Orochimaru handed him a bottle of water and the key to the cell of the girl.

"I want you to pretend to free her, give her the bottle of water and then unlock the cell door, I'm almost positive once you lead her past my door she'll try to break free from you to kill me." He said and Kabuto shook his head in disagreement.

"I doubt that Orochimaru-sama, she's been in there almost a week, she hasn't eaten or drunk anything. Why on earth would she soil an apparent escape plan to go at you with her bare hands?" He asked and Orochimaru smirked.

"Because I think she hates me that much, if she doesn't do that then I want you apprehend her and return her to the cell." He said and Kabuto nodded. "Do it tonight." He said and Kabuto nodded again and then sighed as he put the water and the key down on the table and Orochimaru left after that.

x.X.x

Kabuto was by the cell and pretended to be extremely quiet. "Girl…" He said softly and she opened her eyes and looked towards Kabuto, her eyes darkened when she saw him, but she didn't make any move or give any other reaction.

"Here…" He said softly as he put the bottle of water in the cell, he didn't feel like handing it to her as he had seen how she had bitten Orochimaru and he didn't have the ability to grow flesh like Orochimaru did. The girl looked at Kabuto and then at the water and took it, she cracked open the top and put it to her lips, tilting the water into her mouth and drinking eagerly.

When she was done she looked towards him and said nothing as she placed the empty bottle down on the ground. "I'm going to release you… please follow me and don't stray from my side." He said as he put the key into the lock and turned it, the door opened with a quiet clang and the girl jumped up immediately as she looked towards Kabuto with suspicion. "Come, before Orochimaru-sama wakes up." He said and she stepped out of the cell and stared at him with wary eyes as they left the dungeon.

He wondered whether Orochimaru was right or whether he was wrong, he didn't see how she could hate him so much that she'd give up freedom just to have a shot at killing him, but he would see soon enough as they were only a few corners away from Orochimaru's room.

He watched her carefully as they drew closer to his chamber and he saw as she walked besides him softly, looking towards Orochimaru's door as they were about to pass it. He stared at in anticipation and gasped when she pushed him against the wall and grabbed a blade from his side and within a split second she had opened Orochimaru's room and Kabuto could hear Orochimaru laughing as he heard a shriek from the girl as he pushed her against the wall with his snake-hands. Kabuto stepped inside the room and stared at the girl in shock, Orochimaru had been right; she had given up possible freedom just to try and kill Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked towards Kabuto as the girl stared angrily at Orochimaru. "I told you she hates me that much, you may go sleep now." He said towards Kabuto and he nodded as he stepped out of the room, still looking at the crazy girl; he knew people hated Orochimaru, but why on earth did she hate him so much, neither of them had ever seen her before.

x.X.x

Orochimaru stared at the girl as he spoke. "I had set that up to see how foolish you were, and I'm not surprised to say you are quite foolish." He said and she glared at him as she said nothing at all. "Why do you hate me so much?" He asked and she still glared at him, staring directly into his eyes and he had to admit that not many people had the guts to do that.

"Because you are still breathing you snake." She said and he gave a cruel laugh as he still held her trapped in his hands, the snakes swirling around her arms and holding her tighter, if he had wanted to kill her all he had to do was let one of the snakes bite her and inject venom on his command, otherwise it would be a normal snakebite.

"That is not a very good answer." He said and she suddenly smirked, her eyes lighting up and he wondered why she suddenly had such a change in her mood.

"Well, your slave isn't a very good tracker." She said and he looked at her in confusion as she continued to smile. "This is my clone; I created it while he was in front of me, leading me in your direction." She said and his eyes widened. "I'm not as stupid as you think, I knew that was a trap the second he led me in the direction of your room as it was not the way I had entered this place." She said and Orochimaru got angry as he considered the possibility of her escaping.

"I will come for you when I am prepared and I suggest you watch your back because I will be watching it as well." She said and then the clone went up in smoke, his snakes grasping thin air and he growled angrily when he realized he had been tricked by his own attempt at a trick.

Kabuto had been right that she would not give up the chance of freedom just to have another go at him, even though she let her copy do the charade and he didn't even know if he could blame Kabuto for her escape.

With a hiss he walked towards his bed and locked his door for good measure in case she was still lurking around; he wouldn't die if she stabbed him but he didn't want to give her the satisfaction of knowing she had actually harmed him.

x.X.x

She was standing outside the hideout as she stared at the hidden door, covered in moss as long as the door was closed. She had been so close to him and yet she couldn't harm him while his minions were around to protect him as he was strong enough by the looks of things. She would kill him even if it took her a hundred years.

x.X.x

Orochimaru woke up when he heard a knock at the door; he stood up and walked towards the door, sensing it was Kabuto as he opened it. "The girl is not in her cell." He said quickly and Orochimaru wondered what he was doing down in the dungeon, but that didn't matter at the moment.

"The one that attacked me was a clone, it seemed she tricked you and headed off in a different direction while her copy followed you, it also seems you were right about her." He said and Kabuto seemed shocked that he had been tricked.

"Do you want me to go and find her?" He asked and Orochimaru shook his head as he gave a laugh, he knew the girl would return to him once she thought was ready to take him on.

"She will come back here soon enough." He said and Kabuto didn't know what to say so Orochimaru spoke. "Go to the nearest town and spread a rumor that I have fallen ill and my subordinates are trying to locate a cure. If that doesn't entice her to come back here then I don't know what will." He said and Kabuto nodded. "It will take you a few days to get there, so by the time that you reach the village she should be there already, unless she lives in the forest, I want you to give evidence of snakes dying in the forest of a sickness related to me, I will make them die to aid to the story." He said and Kabuto nodded again as he turned to leave.

"I'll keep you notified." He said and then left, leaving Orochimaru in his room to tend to his own devices, which currently involved reading a lot of books about the forbidden techniques that he craved to possess.

x.X.x

(Four Days Later)

Kabuto had arrived in the town a few hours earlier and had sold the story to a local journalist so that he could publish it, claiming the snakes that were dying in the forest were a sign of this and the journalist had actually believed him and immediately went to get it to the printers and as he had expected it was on the front page of every newspaper and posted all over the village a few hours later.

Kabuto was busy reading the different versions of each newspaper when he saw the girl staring at one of the newspaper and Kabuto immediately hid around a corner as he spied on her as she continued to stare at the newspaper.

She picked up the newspapers as her face was riddled with excitement and a few seconds later she was running out of the village as fast as her two legs could carry her.

Kabuto smiled as sent out the signal to Orochimaru that she was on her way via a postage dove that he had kept close to him in case he needed to alert Orochimaru, he was surprised the girl had fallen for it so quickly, but perhaps she had seen evidence of the dying snakes and actually believed what she had read in the newspapers.

He would start to return a few hours after her so that she didn't pick up his presence, he knew both Sasuke and Orochimaru would be fine, the girl was no danger to them and Orochimaru wasn't really sick so she would be entering the place under false pretenses.

He wondered why she hated him so much that she was willing to risk her life to kill him, even though she probably knew she stood no chance.

The dove would only arrive at the hideout a few minutes before the girl at most considering the pace she was running at, but that would be enough time for Orochimaru to set up a convincing trap if he had any planned.

x.X.x

Orochimaru saw the dove fly into his room and took the note from its claw and read with excitement that the girl was on her way to him and it seemed by the time the note was sent and the time she left were the same, so she would arrive at any second.

He smirked as he decided to play possum and went to lie down on the bed, she wouldn't take much longer to come to him and while he pretended to be sick he would get her to come close enough to him so that he could capture her quickly and figure out whether it is a clone or really her.

x.X.x

As Orochimaru was still lying down he heard his door open slowly and someone enter, if it was either Sasuke or Kabuto they would've knocked and he smelled perfume in the room, knowing it was her immediately.

He felt her presence as she stopped right in front of him and the second he felt her chakra rise he sat up and captured her with his snake hands. She stared at him in surprise as she still held onto the kunai she was about to stab into his heart. "Guess you fell for the trick this time." He said as he stood up and squeezed the snakes tightly around her until she grunted; he was pleased to see it was not a clone of her as the clone would've gone up with smoke already.

"You bloody bastard." She said and he smirked as he moved her out of the room and back down to the dungeon where he could lock her up again, this time he would get answers from her since she knew what would happen if she didn't answer and she would not receive another chance to escape from him so graciously.

x.X.x

Orochimaru had locked her up in the dungeon again and was now in the room when he sensed Kabuto had returned and he found no need to welcome him back or tell him he had succeeded as he would go and look for himself in the dungeons if he was curious.

He would go to the girl again in the morning and get a response from her, and she would decide whether he gave her water and food or not. He had no desire to keep her alive except the curiosity to discover why she wanted him dead and why she was foolish enough to return and whether she was working for anyone.

x.X.x

(Next Day)

Orochimaru was standing in front of the dungeon and looked at her as she glared at him. "Who are you?" He asked her and she looked away from him as she gritted her teeth. "Still not going to respond?" He asked and she said nothing and he smirked before leaving the room.

x.X.x

(Next Day)

Orochimaru had spoken to Kabuto about the possibility of doing an examination to extract the information from her corpse once she was dead and found that it would be impossible unless it was a skill of hers.

He would go an try and get the information out of her, she had been without food and water for two days now and he suspected that she would start to become frail like she had previously and perhaps if he let it stretch out longer she would finally crack; even if her reason was just something as pathetic as he had killed her family he wanted to know. He didn't like secrets and he had the curiosity to make it so much worse.

x.X.x

He walked into the dungeon and found she was drawing against the wall with blood; he looked down at her arm and found she had bitten herself open, but not in desire for food as it was just hard enough to draw blood and not flesh.

He looked at what she was drawing at found it was just Kanji symbols that had no meaning in the sequence she placed them and he regarded it as nothing but scribbling. "Look at me." He stated after he realized she wasn't going to look towards him and she stopped drawing but didn't look towards him; instead she dipped her finger in the growing pool of blood on her arm and wrote 'no' on the wall.

"I'll give you water if you do." He said as he tested how much defiance she truly held for anything he said and when he found her place an exclamation mark at the end of her 'no' he knew he was right, she hated him so much that she would do nothing to obey him, not even lock eyes with him if he asked her to. "Tell me your name." He asked again and she placed another exclamation mark at the end of her 'no' as she continued with her pointless scribbling.

He growled as he turned away from her and walked out of the room, she wasn't going to tell him anything so perhaps he should send in Kabuto to try, but he doubted she would be willing to talk to him after he had deceived her with the escape plan and then fooled her with the newspaper report.

x.X.x

Kabuto sighed as he stepped into the dungeon room, looking towards her and then looking at the markings on the wall and found what Orochimaru had said about the scribbling was incorrect as he immediately knew what it was. It was written in an English fashion instead of the usual Japanese fashion and that was probably why it had seemed like nothing to him.

He looked towards the seals surrounding the cell and found they were active, it was seals to drain and seal away the captives' chakra, making it impossible for them to cast seals or use any type of ability to get out of the cell.

"I know what you wrote on the wall." He said and she looked towards him, her eyes looking completely bored with his statement and she spoke in the same fashion.

"Then go run to your master like the good little slave you are." She said as she returned her attention to the wall and continued to scribble, various marks on her arms as she continued to draw blood from her body to finish the sentences.

"Why won't you tell him anything? It could help you get out of here." He said as he knew he was lying about the last part, there was no chance in Hell Orochimaru would let her go now that she knew the location of his hideout and even when she had gotten out for that short period of time Orochimaru had made plans to move to his next hideout. It was possible she hadn't told anyone about it as she had gotten here fine the first time but he couldn't take the risk.

"I won't tell you anything either, so go away." She said as she continued with her sentence on the wall and Kabuto sighed as he walked out of the dungeon, he might as well go tell Orochimaru about what she had written on the wall; he wondered whether it would mean anything to Orochimaru.

x.X.x

"What?" Orochimaru asked once Kabuto told him what she was busy writing on the wall. "Exactly in the order you just told me?" He asked and Kabuto nodded. "That's impossible." Orochimaru hissed angrily as he got up and Kabuto looked at him oddly, not understanding why he was upset about it. She had written down a few of the forbidden techniques, everyone knew what they were and it was not like she had written down how to perform them; that would've been an entirely different story.

"Why is it impossible? Half the nation knows about the techniques." He said and Orochimaru growled angrily as he headed for the door, clearly on his way to the dungeon.

"Because they're written down in the exact order I learned them and those at the end are written down in the exact order that you learned them." He said and Kabuto's eyes widened once he realized Orochimaru was right, she had written them down perfectly, but how could she know that?

x.X.x

Orochimaru burst though the dungeon door and stood in front of the chamber and stared at her as she had stopped writing, her arms caked in blood as she stared at him in an uninterested fashion. "How the hell did you know that?" He screamed at her as he placed his hands on the cell bars out of anger, feeling how his chakra was being drained but he didn't care, he had enough to spare.

"What makes you think I'll answer you now?" She asked and he growled as he sent his snake-hands in through the bars and it circled around her body and suddenly the snakes bit her. She flinched for a second and then made no other response as she looked down at the snakes that were chewing into her flesh without injecting their lethal poison.

"Answer me or I'll make you speak!" He threatened and she gave a yawn of boredom as the snakes were still biting her. "Answer me!" He demanded and she stared into his golden eyes and slowly lifted her hand up and through the snakes only to flip him off.

"No you pig." She said and he pulled his snake-hands back as they still held her, making her slam against the cell bars hard enough that he heard a bone crack in her face as her cheek slammed into the cell, she closed her eyes and flinched at the pain before opening them again and staring at him through the cell bars. "The answer is still no." She said and he stuck his other hand through the bars and grabbed her by her neck and squeezed her throttle.

"You will die in here, slowly and painfully, I will torture you and mutilate you that you won't even recognize yourself if you continue to defy me." He hissed out, emphasizing his words as he squeezed her neck harder and she closed one of her eyes out of pain as he still held her by her neck with the snakes around her body and biting her.

"Then you better get started because I won't tell you shit." She said and then she suddenly spat on his face to prove her point of defiance. He stared at her in shock for a split second before his face turned angry and he threw her against the wall, releasing her neck and his snake-hands. She fell down into a bloodied heap and didn't bother getting up as she started to laugh and he let out a growl.

"I know the limit of the human body, I know how much it can take before giving out and I will push you to that limit before dragging you back to the starting point, I will keep you here years if I have to." He hissed as he walked out of the dungeon and straight towards Kabuto.

He would give her water and food and would force it down her throat if she chose not to eat but he would get her to speak, her defiance had angered him enough to grant her a special spot in his day. He would torture her and then heal her and would repeat that process every single day until she would beg for a death that he would not grant.

For now they needed to move to another location as a precaution.

x.X.x

Orochimaru entered Kabuto's room without knocking and Kabuto stood up suddenly at the presence of his master. He noted the angry expression on his master's face and knew immediately he failed to get anything out of the girl. "Feed the girl and give her water, I have changed my plans regarding her." He said and Kabuto didn't dare ask why as Orochimaru was in a particularly vile mood.

"After you have done that alert Sasuke and start to pack up everything we need, we are moving as soon as it's night. Put the girl in locks with the seals on after she has eaten and bring her to my room." He said and Kabuto gave a nod.

Orochimaru said nothing as he walked out of the room, heading towards his own to start and pack the few things he moved along with him whenever he moved.

x.X.x

Kabuto walked into the dungeon and saw the girl; she was looking rather under the weather as she was leaning her head against the wall. He saw the blood over her arms, both from her self-inflicted wounds and snake bites, which was obviously Orochimaru. Her cheek was turning a dark shade of purple and he saw from the angle she was sitting that her cheek bone had been cracked or broken.

He walked around the cell until he was the closest to her and slipped the water and food through the bars, she looked at him and he felt the need to clarify. "Orochimaru-sama requested I bring this to you." He said and she said nothing as she took the water and opened it, putting it to her lips and he saw it was painful for her to open her mouth to drink the water with her damaged cheekbone.

He didn't say anything else as he stood up to go and tell Sasuke before packing his things and then imprisoning the girl. He wondered why Orochimaru had decided to give her food and water all of the sudden; he would ask him once he was in a better mood.

End of Chapter one, please R&R
