Anko Mitarashi woke with a start and sat bolt upright. Sweat covered her face and her violet coloured hair stuck to her neck. She sat there shaking and crying. Her head was throbbing and she felt sick. The curse mark on Anko's shoulder pulsed suddenly and she cried out in pain and covered it with a sweaty hand. Anko retched and leapt out of bed. Swaying slightly she made her way to the bathroom. She opened the door, leant over the toilet, and vomited violently.

She sank to her knees shaking and sweaty. Slowly she raised a hand to her mouth and wiped the sick away. She sat on the floor of her bathroom and hugged herself.

When will this stop?, she wondered.

It was not the first time that Anko's nightmares had made her sick. She was slightly used to it but it was still rather nerve racking having to wake early every morning, only to vomit her guts up. Every night it was the same thing.

That horrible room, the pain of the curse mark racking through her small body.

Her sensei….Orochimaru…..The one she trusted…….putting her through that pain.

Coming back to Konoha….being ignored and bullied by the other kids…..not remembering a single thing about what had happened.

Then it would be over and she'd wake, only to vomit. Anko groaned and covered her face with her hands. She knew she would never be free of the curse mark.

--

'Orochimaru-sama, p..please, just stop it!'

The evil laugh played around the room.

'You will always carry this curse mark, always…always' the voice faded into nothing.

--

This horrible truth had kept Anko from opening up to anyone after her ordeal. True, she had never opened up to anyone before the ordeal. Except for one kid though, but she couldn't remember now it was all a blur.

Anko could feel that sleep was beginning to take over again and tried to stand, so she could go back to bed. But her legs were so wobbly that she had to sit down. She laid her head against the cold wall of the bathroom. Within moments she was fast asleep.

--

The buzzing noise of Anko's alarm clock echoed through her apartment. But it did not disturb her; she was still fast asleep in the bathroom. Finally she opened one eye blearily and looked down at her wrist watch. EIGHT AM!

'SHIT' she shouted and leapt to her feet, trying to ignore the slight pain of her curse mark.

She was going to be late for the meeting of the Chunnins and Jounins, if she didn't hurry. Luckily Anko was, unlike many her fellow female comrades, really quick at getting ready. She undressed quickly, turning on the water of the shower as she did so. She threw herself under and allowed the hot water soothe her sore neck. She stood there for a moment, allowing the hot water to run down her lean, athletic body.

Finally she persuaded herself to turn off the water and finish getting ready.

She didn't really want to go. But she had made a promise to her good friend, Kurenai Yuuhi that she would go. Also another of her good friends, Kakashi Hatake was going to be there. Anko thought that Kakashi was secretly quite hot, but of course she would never admit it.

Anko let herself out of her apartment and locked the door behind her. The hallway was long and empty. The foul floral print on the walls made Anko feel slightly nauseous. She made her way quickly down the hall and down the stairs. Whoever had chosen this foul floral design certainly had bad taste. Finally she opened the door and stepped outside into the glorious autumn sun. She took a sniff of the cool, fresh air and sighed. She loved the fresh air, one of the reasons why she was so determined to become a ninja in the first place.

The wind changed direction suddenly. Anko snapped to attention, like the true ninja she was. She drew a handful of shuriken and waited, listening. Then out of nowhere a handful of kunai came speeding towards her face.
