It had been a year since Hisoka's disappearance. Lee had come home a couple of weeks ago and so had Sakura. However Sakura and Lee both had gotten into a habit of avoiding each other's gaze and were soon out on long term missions again. Asuka, had been taken in to the Uchiha family, and was well taken care of. But still, everyone worried over the blond twin who had sent her to them. No one had seen or heard from Hisoka. Every so often a scribbled note would appear if Sasuke summoned a snake. But the summoned snake could never tell them where the note had come from. Sharingan was used to stop it from figuring out where it was. The notes were always hastily scribbled out and usually carried the same simple sentence every time.
I'm alright don't worry about me
But none of them could help but worry about Hisoka.

Hisoka had received word of someone he needed to finish off in the heart of Grass Country. He'd taken the job and now he was heading there. Hisoka felt something ominous in the pit of his stomach as he travelled, but for now he had to ignore his feelings of dread. Dread didn't help any mission. Every good Ninja feels dread before going on a mission. That's what Anko-Sensei had taught him, and Hisoka didn't forget his Sensei's teachings. So Hisoka carried on.

One week later, Hijiri was working hard. Soon the Jounin exams were coming up. It didn't feel right that Hijiri would take them without Hisoka. But it was his duty to keep heading towards his dreams. He, Kohana and Hisoka had all made a promise between them and Hijiri wouldn't break his word. He remembered the promise he'd made as though it were yesterday.
Hisoka, Kohana and Hijiri were all having their inauguration ceremony. As they were hugged by their parents and sent to their first class, Hisoka pulled Hijiri and Kohana to one side. "You know, Daddy told me that the teachers ask you what you want to do, in the future." Hisoka told Hijiri and Kohana seriously.
"How are we supposed to answer?" Kohana asked.
"I dunno. But I think we should make a promise. No matter how hard it is, we should keep going until we get our special dreams. We keep working for our dreams, right?" Hisoka said. His childish voice lilted over the slight breeze.
"Okay I promise." Kohana said instantly.
"I promise too." Hijiri followed suit.
"I promise too." Hisoka stated. He looked so serious about it, that Hijiri wondered what Hisoka was thinking about. The three then headed towards their classroom.
Hijiri had never forgotten his promise made in childhood. None of them had forgotten. But Hisoka seemed to have just given up. Of course that was when it finally hit Hijiri. Hisoka hadn't just loved Kohana, she had been a part of his dream for the future, and now she was gone. Hijiri sighed to himself as he went to one of the various training grounds in the Uchiha Compound and started training for the Jounin exams.

One week later, Hisoka had arrived in Grass Country, and had scoped out his target for the last ten days. He didn't think it would be easy, but a job was a job. He didn't get the nickname 'Blood Fox' without good reason. He was prepared to do whatever he had to, to complete his mission now.

That night, Hisoka crept through another estate. The moon was full, and Hisoka used all his speed, stealth and cunning to get through the house without detection. As he arrived at the main bedroom and slid open the rice paper door, Hisoka saw there was no futon and no person sleeping as he expected. "It's a trap!" Hisoka thought to himself wildly. But he didn't get a chance to act on his instincts as he was out cold within a second, not having a clue as to what the enemy planned to do with him.

Hisoka blinked open his eyes. His surroundings were dark and he wasn't happy with the way things were going. "Ah, so the infamous 'Blood Fox' is awake." Hisoka heard a voice say.
"Who the hell are you?" Hisoka hissed. He glared angrily around at the dark room he was in.
"You really thought that you'd be left alone in the outside world Hisoka Uchiha?" Hisoka heard a voice speak from the shadows.
"Who the hell are you?" Hisoka yelled angrily, repeating his last question.
"I am Orochimaru. Your father pledged his body as my vessel. But as he couldn't keep his word. I'm sure that taking you as a vessel will be payment enough." Orochimaru hissed.
"I won't let you take over my body you freak!" Hisoka yelled.
"Well I can do the one thing that no one else can do for you Hisoka-Kun." Orochimaru stated bluntly.
"And what might that be?" Hisoka asked angrily.
"I can give you your female teammate back. Kohana was her name, wasn't it?" Orochimaru commented evilly. Hisoka's dark eyes went wide and the boy stared at Orochimaru.
"You can't bring back the dead, bastard." Hisoka hissed.
"I can, with forbidden jutsu. Of course, the price for my help, is your body and your obedience." Orochimaru stated. Hisoka trembled as he nodded his head in agreement. The room went red and throughout Orochimaru's underground base, the horrifying, pained screams of a boy were heard. This was the beginning of the end, of the blonde twin known as Hisoka.
