The Kunoichi Bride
Chapter 2
My Magic 8 Ball told me I don't own either of the stories involved, and, if you can't trust a children's toy, who can you trust?
Note: I'm taking some creative license with the character's appearances. Again, sorry for any misspellings, can anyone tell me what I mess up on, so I can fix it?
Orochimaru was the heir apparent to the title Hokage of Konoha. As such, the lore of the land gave him the right to choose his bride.
"My people," the serpentine looking man said, "I have chosen a wife. She is a kunoichi like many of you. I give to you… Hinata Hyuuga."
Hinata mournfully walked through the crowd, wearing a lavender kimono. Her family had grown weary of her, and, as she was a formidable ninja and the heir of the esteemed Hyuuga clan, was a very eligible bachelorette. However, despite being forcefully engaged to him, she did not love him.
Despite Orochimaru's assurance that she would grow to love him, her only joy was riding her horse through the forest surrounding the village.
On one such ride, she saw an odd trio, standing side by side. One was a grey haired man, despite his young appearance, who was wearing a pair of glasses. To his left was a 7 foot tall male (remember, those of you with pointy swords on hand, creative license) with black hair in a bowl cut, black eyes, and was dressed in green spandex. To the grey haired man's right, was a male dressed in blue, with black hair in a position reminiscent of the non-quacking end of a duck, black eyes that looked almost dead, and was dressed in a simple blue outfit. At his side was a magnificent sword.
"Pardon me," spectacled one said, "we are but lost circus folk, trying to find our way. Can you tell us if there is a town, nearby?"
"There's no town, not for miles," Hinata said suspiciously, getting off her horse into a combat stance.
"Then' there will be no one to hear you scream," the man replied.
Hinata prepared to fight, when, suddenly, the swordsman cried out "Sharingan," and looked her in the eyes, his now red with swirling black bits in them. Then, everything went black.

"What are you cutting, Kabuto?" Sasuke asked with irritation in his voice.
"It's a hitae ate from a ninja from Suna," the silver haired man replied, placing it on the horse's saddle and then making the horse run.
"Who's Suna?" Lee asked.
"The nation in the desert! The sworn enemy of Konoha!" Kabuto shouted, "Once Orochimaru finds out his bride has been kidnapped, he will set out on a search for her. When they find her body near the lands of Suna, the Konohans will assume that the Sunans have killed the Hokage's bride and start a war."
"You didn't mention killing anyone," Lee said, "that is most unyouthful!"
"I'm letting you help me start the next Shinobi War," Kabuto replied in a patronizing tone, "It's a very lucrative and time-honored tradition."
"I just think it unyouthful to kill an innocent girl," Lee said.
"Have I gone insane," Kabuto shouted, "Or did the word 'think' just come out of your mouth. I didn't hire you to think, you demon-sized idiot! I hired you to be the heavy lifter! Do you want me to send you back where you came from? Jobless in Oto?"
"I agree with Lee," Sasuke said simply.
"And the drunk has spoken!" Kabuto shouted, "Never forget this! When I met you, you were such a drunken wreck, that you couldn't even afford a shot of sake! If you tow are so bothered by this, I'll kill her myself!"
Sasuke walked up to Lee as they approached their ship, which would take them to the place where they would do the actual killing.
"Kabuto doesn't mean to fuss," he told Lee, smirking.
"Fuss," Lee asked, slightly confused, until a knowing smile crossed his face, "He really likes to yell at us."
"He really doesn't mean any harm," Sasuke continued.
"He's really very short on charm," Lee replied.
"My friend, you have a gift of rhyme."
"Yes, yes. Some of the time."
"Stop that!" Kabuto said.
"Lee, are there any rocks ahead?" Sasuke inquire.
"If there are," Lee jokingly replied, "We'll all be dead."
"Stop that!" Kabuto shouted, "No more rhymes, I mean it!"
"Anybody want a peanut?" Lee responded as they sailed off.
