Chapter 1:

Runaway!

"Where is she?! Where is she?!" People shouted at the top of their lungs. A girl was running as fast as she could, panting. She ran deep into a forest and stopped. "Why? Why did he have to come?"

-Flashback-

"Princess Tenten, your mother wishes to see you." Said Tsunade, her own personal adviser. She combed her hair for the night and walked down the steps, seeing her mother with a man that had pale white skin, eyes like a snake, and straight black hair. "Tenten, this is Lord Orochimaru, he will be helping you with your training." Tenten backed away and didn't say anything. "Come my dear, let's go." Orochimaru said in his slick voice, "Don't think I don't know what you'll do to me!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, pulling out a kunai. "My dear, what are you talking about?"

Asked her mother, "You're lying, mom, you're lying! He's going to make me one of his slaves in his control, put a curse mark on me, and I'll never have my freedom again!" Tenten put her kunai in front of her, "Tenten! Don't you dare yell at me like that, and put that kunai down!" Orochimaru took a step towards her, Tenten pointed the kunai at him, "Take one more step and I'll kill you." She said to him, "Don't worry, my child. Sooner or later you'll join me." Orochimaru said, "I'll never decide! I'm not going!" Tenten shouted, "Guards, escort Lord Orochimaru out!" Her mother tried to stop her,

"But princess you need to decide--." "NOW!!!!" She shouted. The guards didn't hesitate and hustled to Orochimaru, he quickly disappeared into the wind, "I'll be back sooner than you expect, Princess Tenten." He said as he cackled. She looked at her mother with tears filled with anger and shouted, "I hate you!" And ran out the door.
