Chapter 2
By Hinata
"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Orochimaru asked her as she opened her bed room door.
"Sorry." she said. "I'm going to bed now."
"You should." he said. "We have to go somewhere tomorrow and I want you to be fully prepared." She nodded at him and he then left. She shut the door behind her and wondered where they were going and why did she need to be fully prepared? Was he going to kill her like Amachi suggested in the letter?
The next day she woke up. She only got 1 hour of sleep. She couldn't keep her mind of the strange letter. Why would Amachi even think of killing her. He seemed so kind. She stuffed the note in her pocket and left. "What's he doing here?" she asked rudely as she came outside, ready to go. Amachi was with Orochimaru.
"Don't be rude to our guest." Orochimaru said. "I thought you liked him Anko. What happened?"
"Sorry," she said. "I didn't get a good sleep last night." She didn't want to tell them why because then he would get mad at her for even reading the letter.
Then he asked the question she feared he would ask. "Why not?" he asked, glaring at her as if he knew she was going to lie.
"Because," she lied, hoping he wouldn't catch it. "I had a bad dream." She put on her most serious face to cover up the lie.
"Is that so." he answered with a grin. "You know perfectly well bad dreams are fake. Anyways, lets go." They then walked off torwards the gate of the hidden leaf village.
"Are we going on a mission?" she asked after a while of silence.
"Yes," Orochimaru said with a grin, looking down at her. "Its a secret mission. You might die, but if you don't, then don't mention it to the hokage." He put his hand into one of his pockets, feeling for the letter to find that it wasn't there. "Where is it?" he asked himself out loud.
"Where's what?" she asked while watching his hand search in his pocket. She knew what he was looking for, the note. With out thinking, she pushed him aside and ran out of the cave, hoping he wouldn't catch her. She looked behind to see if he was coming but, no one was there. "I'm finally away from him." she thought out loud.
"Away from who?" a voice asked her as she ran into to someone. She turned her head and looked up to find the palest man ever, Orochimaru. "Your hiding something from me."
She was speechless. no matter how hard she tried to speak, nothing came out so she just shook her head no, her eyes huge with fear. Just then someone grabbed her by the arms and pulled her back. She looked at who was holding her back to find Amachi.
