Thx to my pal Justine for the brainstorming and helping it sound more like Orochimaru -and the cookies- . Leave some reviews and feed back, improvements and what you want in the story. Remember the story is for YOU! (points) So ya...go read it. Orochimaru FTW! hardest part of this i find, Thinking of how he would word things, since he doesn't get much talking in Naruto, how sad :0
F.Y.I- Chan, is often attached to children's names when calling them by their given names. So when Orochimaru use's, plz understand that I can't use Kun since Masaru is girl.
-Masaru- Indeed I am, thanks for clearing that up... *growls*
-Sam-^.^" ahh... no problem
*walks away*
Chapter Seven- A New found Respect
"A scroll?" I asked.
It was now getting colder now that summer is over, I have 3 years until Orochimaru will need a new vessel, but sadly for him. I am not gonna be that vessel, I dont like him, I prefer to live then give up my body and besides...would my mind live on but trapped in a snake like body? That'd be awful! I've been training for a month now, I've learned new things and I feel I am becoming stronger physically. Hopefully.
"Yes, a forbidden scroll deep in the mountains to the North by the snow village." Kabuto said.
"Snow...what is it?" Where I was chained up I never actually saw or knew what snow is, I felt stupid to ask but I wanted to know.
"Water but frozen into a white substance." he replied. Smart ass, but snow must be common.
We walked out into the sun, It wasn't cold but not to warm. This was techniquly my first mission but there's really no pay just the experience, We jumped tree to tree, sometimes they walked to there places and others they run like now, I wonder why that is. I Could feel the temperature change as we went More and more North, I'd take a little more than 3 days to get there to the mountains.
We finally stopped in a forest, I could see the mountains but they were far off in the distance, I never thought about it much but I did like the outdoors alot. I went and got some wood and piled it into a shape and with ease, I set it to fire, I smiled, my skills are quite handy out doors. I didn't plan on sleeping much, I had an uneasy feeling tonight.
"Why do you want this forrbidden scroll from the mountains, Orochimaru?" I asked.
He smiled again with that wicked smile, it was starting to grow on me...
"I will collect all the Technique's and be more powerful." He answered, I wonder what kind if technique's this scroll has.
Orochimaru was awake as well but I suppose Kabutowas getting some sleep. I closed my eyes a little slowly drifting away and then I heard a twig snap and my head shot to the bush left of me, I throwed a kunai towards that direction by instinct and I heard it make contact with something. What fool would spy on us? Orochimaru looked towards the bush as well. I walked over and grabbed something small from in it, It was a gofer.
"Oh, just a gofer..." I said chucking it back. I swear I saw a small figure in the shape of a body.
I didn't sleep any more on that night just in case, morning came but I wasn't to sleepy. If someone over heard us and belonged to Konoha, how much trouble could that cause for us. On the second night I didn't plan on sleeping and also it was so damn cold out here, there wasnt any snow yet but I've never been this cold. I had a white coat with me and slipped that on but it didn't help much.
"Masaru-chan, Your energy will not rejuvenate unless you give yourself rest tonight."Orochimaru said, but not in a caring voice, just simple and plain. I guess I looked tired, But how dare he call me Chan as if I were a kid. It was true, i'd need sleep incase of an enemy. I closed my eyes and feel alseep fast.
"Sister, Sister...!!" I saw Miki running hapily towards me. It was dark outside and I heard screams.
"Miki! hurry and hide with me!!" I said from within a tree." It went dark again and I heard the sound of a Kunai.
"NOO! " I screamed as I watched my own sister fall to the ground.
"Si-ster...." Miki said and then died. I screamed and ran out aiming for the first thing I could hit, a flash of red appeared....
I woke up with a shock and looked around fanatically but nothing out of the ordinary around me. I stood up and noticed Orochimaru and Kabuto were looking at me, once again, they choose not wake me.
"Why didn't you wake me!?" I said angrily.
"You looked to peace-ful, didn't wana disturb you." Kabuto said in a taunting way, I'd say he was a little older than me.
"Oh and who is Rioku?" he added just taunting me more. I growled and frowned. One more thing....and I am cutting him.
"How the hell am I suppose to know?"I said angrily.
"You were taking about him in your sleep." he said.
I yelled in anger and went at him with my swords but before I got to him.
"We've wasted enough time, Kabuto, you don't act like that often." Orochimaru said as he turned around from us. I stopped and glared at Kabuto and went to walk towards Orochimaru. Kabuto, you don't act like that often Flashed across my memory, so does this mean Kabuto hates me a lot or is it something else? We walked this time, there was no hurry to get there but I'd bet were gonna hit snow soon. Damn, I'am gonna freeze out here.
I begin shivering a couple hours later and my teeth were chattering a bit. Kabutopulled a heavier coat out of his bag and tossed it to me. I put it not caring what it is. That was really the first ever bit of kindness I've ever gotten, would that be called kindness. I stared at him in disbeilef.
"You should have prepared more Masaru-san." Kabuto spoke gently. Was I suppose to say thank you, did I even know how.
"um...thanks." I said, it was warmer in his coat.
I went into deep thought about my sister, how long did I know her and how close was I to her. I wasn't focused on the road and my arms were crossed against my chest tightly. I heard a whooshing sound and turned my head and saw a kunai heading towards me, I couldn't stop it in time, I closed my eyes, here was my death!! I waited....nothing? I opened my eyes and saw the kunai caught by Orochimaru, and I thought I was dead for sure but..but..I could say...my life was saved by him. I felt grateful...and..maybe even respect.Orochimaru gasped the kunai in his hand turning around to the trees around us alongside the dirt road.
"Masaru!" Orochimaru said calmly. I snapped out of my deep thoughts and shock and drew my swords and faced the 4 people. I could sense the high level of chakra, it doesn't match ours though but this could get fun.
"We've found them." The one on the far left said. I smiled wickedly but not as evil as Orochimaru.
