Orochimaru: New Partner

The dark abyss surrounds my small pale body, allowing only my blood red hair in the darkness to be seen. The outline of my pitiful body leaving an unclear outline among the darkness. What makes it worse is that I'm deadly still beneath the sheets, every time I take a shaky breath the sheets above me barely shiver. A light flickers at my side and I see the small frame of the nearly burnt out candle, it flickers making my hair stand out even more than it should. Each breath the small frame takes threatening for it to be its last. In many ways I want it to just leave me in the darkness, allow the darkness to surround me. To capture me and keep me safe in the darkness of its folds, to never allow anyone to harm me. As I begin to close my eyes to drift back to sleep, when a bang echoes through the dark room and light floods into the room. The candle finally burns out and I close my eyes and pull the silk sheets over my head.

"Don't try youngster," A tall, dark man ordered, leaning against the wooden doorframe.

Pulling the covers back down over my face, I blink at the light now filling the room. Slowly the figure's features become visible and I stare at someone who was a sannin. Orochimaru; the sannin gone bad, why is he standing in the doorway.

"Get up youngster," Orochimaru ordered, throwing something heavy on top of him before closing the door behind him and leaving me in the darkness.

Climbing out of the bed, my feet hit the cold floor and I wanted to climb back into the bed and fall into a deep sleep.

"Sasori, hurry up," Orochimaru yelled, from the other side of the door.

I slowly walked around the bed, being aware not to bump into the bed or fall over anything that could have been on the bed. Reaching the door, I turned the handle and pulled the door open.

"Where is the cloak?" Orochimaru asked, he didn't seem very friendly.

"What cloak?" I asked, not realising what he had thrown on top of me had been a cloak that I was suppose to put on.

"The thing I threw at you," Orochimaru growled.

I make a quick dash towards the bed, grabbed the cloak and pulled it into the light and looked at the pattern of Black with red cloaks.

"It's going to be a pain, having a kid for my partner," Orochimaru whispered, turning away and leaving me again.
