Author's notes: This idea came to me while I watched a bunch of Orochimaru/ Anko AMV the best ones I have seen in quite some time to be honest the title is because of the fact that Anko's memories were wiped and all so read and review JA Ne!!

Oh this chapter is written in Anko's Point of view.

Fade to black.

Pain: A negative basic feeling of emotion, it involves an unpleasant, aversion, harm or the threat of harm. That is the definition of pain. As a Shinobi pain is part of every day life, for some it's more than it is for others. The past I had is foggy to me all that I can remember is a dark place and being cold as the seal tore away at my free will and life, something must have happened for Orochimaru- Sama to abandon me in the Sea country, I must have been lacking something. Eventually I hope to get my memories back that way I can change my self, so that I become a stronger person, and so I can help the village in finding him, and putting an end not only to him. But to the suffering that follows in his wake.

The pure and utter sense that I am being watched sends waves of emotions over me. I never knew how to shut them down, emotions are a weakness and they can only cause more damage than good. Logical people would probably turn and run from the utter feeling of danger that radiates from the situations that they would be put in if they followed him. That's a lesson I learned the hard way. Day or night it was hard to forget those piercing eyes. Eyes, that seem to strip you to your soul, and devour it. Consume it and twist it, manipulating it to his will. The fear that he would instill in me, was in its own way intoxicating. I now am plagued, by horrible nightmares, tainted memories that will haunt me, for the rest of my life. I have to live with the fact that I am still, not completely trusted in the village. I show nothing and feel nothing but indifference when questioned about my methods of escaping from my self, just to put off the pain for a short while. Just to try and dull the constant ache, the ache of betrayal.

I know it will be difficult to do this, and probably painful as well. Every negative emotion, every painful throb of the seal lets me know he is near by. Something foul is in the air, and it chills me to the core. The village is in danger; someone here must have caught his interest. Who ever it is must be powerful otherwise he wouldn't bother. I must stop him, if I don't, who knows what will happen to this village I have grown to call my home.
