Coming Back From the Dead
Chapter 1
Kabuto took a deep breath and walked up to a man that was walking past him.
The man tried not to notice him as he quickly walked past him.
He held out his hands as he asked. "Spare change sir." He asked. "Spare change for two kids."
Kabuto and his younger baby sister Leah were orphans that were living in the streets of the Sound Village and had to beg people to earn food and money.
The man only walked past them without looking at them once.
Kabuto thought he heard the man mutter under his breathe. "Get lost kid."
Kabuto sighed and turned to walk over to his younger sister.
She was leaning against the wall in the alleyway holding her stomach with her hands.
Kabuto could see the pain in her face as she held her empty stomach.
"Nothing that time sis. Sorry."
"I'm so hungry Kabuto!" Leah complained as she rubbed her stomach. "I'm so hungry it hurts. I wish that I could eat something."
Kabuto sighed. "I know sis." He replied. "So am I."
Kabuto hugged her and put some of her dark brown hair away from her face and kissed her forehead.
"We haven't had food since four days ago." Leah said. "I'm getting worried."
"Don't worry." He said. "We'll find something to eat soon. I promise."
"Why isn't anyone taking pity on us?" she asked. "Can't they see what is happening to us? Why aren't they offering anything to us?"
"I don't know sis." Kabuto replied. "I really don't know the answer to that."
Leah's hair covered her face expect her light green eyes and mouth, she had long shorts that covered her legs and a long sleeved top that completely covered her arms.
She sighed and pulled up her sleeves and pants to show her arms and legs.
It was a habit she did when she showed her emotions or wanted to fight.
She didn't know why she did it.
Suddenly they heard someone laughing from behind them.
"I can help you with that?" came a voice. "But only if you really want me too of course."
Leah and Kabuto turned to see a man standing behind them.
The man had extremely pale-skin with waist-length black hair. He had amber eyes with slits in his pupils and purple markings around his eyes
Leah frowned at him.
Since living on the streets Leah didn't trust anyone expect for her brother.
But Kabuto was the exact opposite.
He was very trusting towards other people.
"Yeah and who are you?" Leah asked rudely as she looked him over.
She decided then and there that he didn't look very trusting.
"Leah don't be rude." Kabuto said. "He could help us get out of here."
He smiled at Leah. "No, no it's fine. I can tell by her face that she doesn't trust me very much and it's properly because I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Orochimaru." He explained. "I can help you if come home with me."
"Brother I still don't trust him even if I do know what his name is." Leah whispered as she looked at Orochimaru from the corner of her eye. "There's something about him that I just don't like about him. We shouldn't go with him. I have a bad feeling about this creep."
"I do trust him Leah." Kabuto replied. "Listen Leah. If we don't go with him then were going to die here on the streets. You have to trust me on this. He is our only chance to survive. This man is our only way out of this mess."
Leah sighed in defeat as she looked at Orochimaru for a second then back to Kabuto.
"Fine Kabuto." She said as she turned back to him. "I trust you."
Leah had always done what Kabuto said and she had always followed him everywhere.
So she would follow him now.
Kabuto smiled. "Don't worry little sister. You won't regret this." He said.
Leah sighed as she looked down. "I certainly hope I won't."
Kabuto ignored that last comment and turned back to Orochimaru.
"We'll come with you."
Orochimaru smiled. "Excellent." Orochimaru replied as he turned slightly. "Follow me."
Kabuto and Leah followed him back to his house.
'I do hope that we aren't making a mistake following him.' Leah thought.
