Authors note: I don't own Naruto and heres chapter two Ja ne
Water was swiftly moving beneath the bridge. Sitting above on one of the posts was Anko her face, was creased in concentration. She held her breath as the seal throbbed painfully, a dull and cold sensation. She could feel the icy blackness reaching down in to her core, trying to tear her from the light to which she was so desperately clinging to. If that was the case, he was closer than before. 'Cant say it surprises me' she thought absent mindedly. Sitting across from her was a young girl, one who had seen the horrors that the seal could cause. The corruption and the pain.
"Hiding from what you fear, doesn't make it go away" she spoke silently to the young teen who sat on the beam across from her. Piercing amber eyes stared at her and the girl chuckled darkly." Anko, I know this. I'm no fool." Slender fingers were wrapped around a long katana, on it was a spiraling design, the blade was solid black and the spirals were blood red in color." My time in this village is drawing to a close Anko, it's time for me to leave and never return." She spoke looking at the scars that ran along her hands. "Izumi, you know once you leave, the village can no longer protect you." Anko said bluntly. This child, Izumi, had been the top of her clan's hope, before they were slaughtered. "For what reason do I have to stay here, nothing remains to bind me to this place." Izumi spat out bitterly her fists clenching. Anko shook her head and sighed. This girl was always so negative. "Izumi, you will have to find that out on your own, I can't be the one you ask." Looking rather perturbed Izumi sighed and nodded. "Your right Anko." A slight smile formed on the girls face as she vanished, leaving behind her, every thing she had grown to know.
Something was going to be lost, that much Anko, knew for a fact. Izumi leaving only added to the trouble on her mind. Izumi had been an outlet, someone she could talk to, when everything became too much to deal with. "He's come…. there's no doubt about it….." sighing she looked out at the blood red sun set "He's going to attack at the exams there is no doubt about it... But why... it's impossible that his powers returned, unless he's fond some one who could have healed him." A gasp passed her lips "No… how could I not have seen it Izumi…she became so distant... damnit!" 'Izumi….. you traitor….' She hissed out in her mind. How Orochimaru managed to trick Izumi did not matter. Izumi was now a traitor, and would be executed for her crimes. Anko shook her head and dropped her forehead protector and vanished into the mist.
Thoughts jumbled together in Izumi's head, the last thing that she needed was to be found out, and then she would be in serious trouble. The only way she would survive this, if she were to betray every thing she knew. "Remember not to chose, a path that is impossible. It doesn't matter, because if you die, so do your dreams." Those were the words of her father.
Her fist's clenched as she recalled the last thing the snake had said to her. Orochimaru smirked. "Nothing against you personally, demon child, but in my experience Konoha shinobi have no problem disregarding their honor when it comes to dealing with someone such as myself, no matter how moral they usually consider themselves." Disregarding the statement she met his eyes " what good is honor when it only gets you in more trouble than it's worth, and my demonic power, well what dose that matter as long as long as you get your arms back" a feral smirk played it's way onto her face and she chuckled her eyes sparkling mirthlessly.
Orochimaru nodded and turned on his heel "meet me in this spot two weeks from now Izumi, don't test my patience, or I will kill you, regardless of the fact that you have the power that is needed to heal me. Izumi laughed and her eyes became colder than ice
"The day I betray you, is the day, I give up on ever having any of my goals achieved, if you think I'm idiotic enough to do something so reckless.
Well that's chapter two matta ne read and review!
