Chapter 3

Back at Kakashi's place, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura lingered over the sleeping Seiya. Kakashi walked in the room and stood by Seiya's bed.

"Sakura, would you get me a towel with a bowl of cold water?" asked Kakashi lifting up the blankets to look at her leg.

"Sure." Sakura walked out of the room. Sasuke looked over Kakashi's shoulder.

"Is she ok?" He asked studying the wound.

"I'm afraid that Orochimaru put poison on the tip of the kunai," Kakashi responded turning to Sasuke. "If I had known that before, I wouldn't have torn the kunai out." Kakashi turned back to Seiya who was waking up.

Sakura walked into the room with a moist towel and a bowl of water. Kakashi took the towel and soaked it in the bowl of water. He took it out and put it on her leg just as she woke up.

"What happened?" She asked looking up at everyone and rubbing her head. Seiya screamed in pain and grabbed her leg. "What happened to my leg?" she asked now looking just at Kakashi.

"You got attacked by Orochimaru. The kunai that he threw at your leg had poison on the tip of it. Please do not try to get up." Kakashi looked into Seiya's eyes.

Seiya lay back down and closed her eyes. After a very long time, she finally woke up again. "Ungh...where...am I?" she asked sitting up and staring at her surroundings. Where she was didn't look like her room.

"Ahhh...you've finally woken up," said an all too familiar voice. The voice sent chills down her spine.

"Who are you? Show yourself!" she screamed.

"You don't remember me?" said the voice, coming out of the shadows. It was Orochimaru. "That's too bad. Oh well."

"Where am I? What have you done to me?" Seiya's voice was fierce and verocious. Her fists were clenched and so were her teeth.

Orochimaru crossed his arms. "Patience. You will figure it out soon enough. But for now, you will stay in this room." Before Seiya could say a word, Orochimaru had already walked out the door and locked it. Seiya's head started throbbing.

"Ungh...what is...happening...to...me?" Images flashed through Seiya's head. Images of her friends betraying her; lying to her and about her. Then, images of Orochimaru helping her and teaching her. Did these things ever really happen? She thought, rubbing her head. Did Kakashi betray me? Did Orochimaru really raise me? "I'm so...comfused." Seiya put her head in her hands. The images did not cease running through her head for many hours. As she tried to resist the thoughts, they thoughts became more grousome and numerous.

Days passed by and Seiya never ate or drank. The images were still never ceasing. Finally, Orochimaru came into the room. "It's ok child." Orochimaru put his arm around the shaking Seiya. Seiya looked Orochimaru in the eyes. There was something in his eyes that told her to believe him.

"Orochimaru..." Seiya put her head in Orochimaru's chest and started crying. Orochimaru grinned from ear to ear.

Ah, so my plan has worked. Beware, Kakashi, you're village is about to be beaten to the ground by your very own student.

The next day, Seiya woke up and walked outside. Orochimaru was waiting for her.

"Good morning Seiya." he said twirling a kunai in his hand. "Ready for your training?" Seiya stood and looked at Orochimaru strangely and then nodded.

A few months later, Orochimaru walked up to Seiya. "You are ready." He put his hand on Seiya's shoulder. Seiya clenched her fists and grinned.

I'm ready for my revenge... Seiya thought as she and Orochimaru walked into his house.
