I turned to Kabuto.
"What's wrong, Onee-chan?" I asked my big brother.
"Guess what, neessan?" Kabuto exclaimed excitedly.
I cocked my head in reply.
"I found us a place to stay! Isn't that great!"
"Really Onee-chan?" I said bursting with excitement. "Who are they?"
"He is a really nice ninja who says we can live with him. He said he's going to teach us ninjutsu as well!"
Now that got me excited. I knew a lot medical ninjutsu from Kabuto and could easily outclass an expert medic. I wonder what he'll teach me?
"So what do you think?" Kabuto asked me, obviously thinking about my comfort.
"I think..." Leaving him on edge. "It's a great idea! Lets go!" I laughed at his sigh of relief.
"You little trickster!" He said as he grabbed me and tickled me.
"Onee-chan!" I tried to scream inbetween giggles.
He let me go and took my hand.
"Let's go." He smiled at me and I smiled back.
Onee-chan, where would I be without you...
After a long day of walking, we made it to our new guardian's place. It was so large, I thought I was going to get lost. We were met by a kunoichi who showed us in. She seemed really nice, and she listened to me when I told my story. She said her name was Tayuya and she was 12. That's the same age as Kabuto. (A/N: Everyone like that's around the same age as Kabuto so bear with me.)
When we got to the door of the mans door, Tayuya told me he was a really nice man who takes in orphans as his own. I hope he likes me...
The doors opened and we walked in, with me still holding onto Kabutos hand. We saw a extremely pale faced man, who on closer inspection, had white skin. His eyes had a yellow tinge to them and he seemed to have purple paint around them.
"Welcome," he said with a smile on his face.
He's smiling. That's good isn't it?
"My name is Orochimaru. I shall be your carer from this day forth." He stood up from his chair. "It is a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello Orochimaru-San!" I said excitedly.
"Just Orochimaru is fine." He replied. "Miss and mister..."
"My name is Kabuto Yakushi and this is-" Orochimaru cut Kabuto off.
"And what is this pretty young lady's name?" He asked sweetly.
"My name is..." I looked to Kabuto for permission to tell him my name.
He nodded in agreement.
"Yes?" Orochimaru prompted.
"Kochi" I stated.
"Kochi..." Repeated Orochimaru. "Doesn't that mean..." Little girl? How interesting... "Well Kabuto and Kochi Yakushi! Welcome to my household!" He threw his arms open.
"Thank you Orochimaru!"
"You have our deepest gratitude Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto said, trying to keep the occasion formal.
"Haha. Now, now Kabuto-kun. This is no time to be formal! We should celebrate!" Orochimaru laughed.
Servants came out of nowhere and flooded the room. They all crowded around Kabuto asking what he and I like and whatnot. Kabuto looked very overwhelmed by the chaos.
"Kochi-chan, would you like me to take you to your room?" Asked Orochimaru coming to stand beside me.
"Yes please Oro-kun!" I said happily.
"Come now," he led me by my hand to my new room.
It was huge! He had obviously done work to the room because it was decorated to fit exactly what a six year old girl would want in her room. There were teddy bears, dolls, cushions and books. The room was like a rainbow! All of the colours swirling across the room to make beautiful combinations.
"Wow Oro-kun..." I breathed. "It's so cool!" I cried happily as I hugged the man.
He seemed to be surprised by the contact but hugged back.
"I'm glad you like it. If you ever need anything at all, just ask." He smiled down at me, not all that different from what a father would look at his child. "Maybe we should go back, Kochi-chan. I think Kabuto will be quite flustered from the attention." He winked at me.
"Ok Oro-kun!" I smiled happily as he took my hand again.
We returned to see Kabuto being fussed over and having clothes shoved into his hands. I laughed at this spectacle and Orochimaru laughed as well. We went over to him and managed to free him from his human prison. He came out panting.
"Well that was a new experience." He said inbetween breaths.
I'm going to like it here, especially with Oro-kun and Onee-chan around...
It had been three weeks since I had arrived at Orochimaru's house (more like castle) and I'd gotten used to my surroundings. I'd made friends with the shinobi and servants there. Tayuya was a red headed tomboy who always like playing tag or hide 'n' go seek with me. Sakon and Ukon were white haired twin brothers who always made me laugh by pulling pranks on the others. Jirobo was a giant orange who helped me with my fitness training regime and always gave me snacks when no one was looking. Kidomaru scared me out of my wits when I first met him but I found out later he was actually a really nice person. He would always compliment me on my crafts and make me a spider web if I wanted. But my best friend (apart from Tayuya because she's a girl) would have to be Kimimaro. He seemed really unfriendly at first but after a lot of nagging he opened up to me. At one stage, I managed to get him to play dolls with me but Sakon and Ukon caught him so that was the last time he did that. Over all, life was pretty good. I had Kabuto-nii, Oro-kun and all of my friends.
Then one day, Kimimaro got hurt. Really hurt. I had been playing with Tayuya and Kabuto had rushed in to my room looking really worried and breathless. I had never seen my big brother this way before so I was immediately worried.
"Onee-chan! What's wrong?" I asked in surprise.
"Kimimaro,.. Ambush... Injured badly... Help..." He then collapsed of exhaustion.
"Onee-chan!" I rushed over to Kabuto but then... "Kimimaro!" I cried in shock. "Tayuya!"
"Yes Kochi-San?"
In moments like this it was always formal and obedient Tayuya that comes out.
"Take care of Kabuto, I'm going to find Kimimaro!" I ran off before she could object.
Oh Kimimaro... I hope you are alright...
