Part 7
I was still sitting in his kitchen, I had grabbed an apple and was busy rolling it from side to side as I sat at the blue table. Even the family logo was burned into it, something that indicated that he did miss them. My stomach was about to start growling again, so eventually I attacked the apple and thought about what I would make him. He didn't seem like the type of guy that would like instant food. While I was thinking about this, he came back; fully clothed this time. He even wore a silver necklace around his wrist, and something about it made me feel like I really had to go..
Orochimaru was calling out to me, did this mean he knew I was in the wrong place? Sasuke seemed completely oblivious to what I was feeling, and reached out for my hand. Instead I left it hanging in mid-air as I told him I would be attending the academy starting tomorrow, but that I had some other things I had to take care of. He just stood there and watched me disappear in a cloud of smoke.
I re-appeared next to his home, Orochimaru sensei was looking at the paintings in the living room, as he had made himself comfortable on the couch. 'It's an completely different feeling, isn't it sensei?' she said. He sat up and walked over to the t.v. 'So this is what you used to live in. Nice hangout' he said with a forced smile. I knew nothing would beat his little three-house thingy, but this was pretty neat too even if I said it myself.
This house held many memories for me, I hadn't been there for at least six years, the rice cooker hadn't moved from the position I left it in..I remembered that one time I had sensei over for dinner and then I tripped over a toy which had been lying around. And then I spent half an hour scraping the rice off the wall. Thank god there was something like Irchiraku's ramen. Oh man! Haven't been there in quite a while..
He licked his lips; damn I hated it when he did that.. I went over to the kitchen so I wouldn't have to see the fascination he had for my family pictures. I knew them by heart since I haven't... 'Chakra? Why are you crying on this picture?' Orochimaru-sensei was being courteous I didn't like the way this conversation was turning. 'I fell off my bicycle and it was one of the rare moments I cried so my Ooto-'
Damnit! I couldn't even say it. He came over to the kitchen and inhaled the dust I was trying to clean off the rice cooker. He looked at the sink and then asked me why I was cleaning only the rice cooker.
'Because it's one of the things which I couldn't let burn, before I came to you I didn't even know how to cook!' he smiled and then licked my mark. I shivered lightly. This was the only moment it felt numb, like I was normal again.
Just a girl nothing else. He pulled away and then the pain started to spread inside my body. I yelled out in pain, hoping no one would come to help. I knew the consequences if someone came here right now. 'Sensei?' she said. 'Can you let my pain go?'
He sighed and then looked at the full moon outside 'My little genin, it was just a test. Just a little test.. he snickered. 'I can't come every time your little mark starts to hurt'
Now he was acting like I'd done something to badly disappoint him, that hurted even more. No matter how you might twist or turned it, he still was my sensei...
I walked around the house as if I'd never seen such a peaceful place before. My bedroom, the kitchen and even my balcony. In my excitement I had walked past my parents bedroom. I reached for the doorknob but then my mark hit me. I gave up and walked back to see what Orochimaru was doing.
