So, the new chapter is here, and I have to admit, I'm a little proud of it. Thank you for everyone that reviewed last chapter! You guys make my day!!

Chapter 11

"Mmm. Try some of the miso soup, it's really good."

"Hm, yes. It is. Have you tried the tea yet?"

"Yep. Pass the beef sashimi."

"Here you go. It tastes good with that sauce."

"Your right! It's delicious."

There was once a girl that decided it'd be a good idea to break into her village's secret library and steal information on a boy she was currently in love with. She got caught. How does the man who captured her react? Why, he takes her out to dinner of course. Oh, and boy did the food taste good, but even I knew the polite conversation couldn't last.

"So, care to give an explanation as to why you were snooping through Kakashi's files? I'm rather curious as to why you went through all that trouble." I'd already came up with a half lie. I knew better than to tell a blatant lie to a jounin, so I was hoping a half lie would work.

"I went through all the trouble because I'm in love with him." Right, the half truth. I didn't even know who Kakashi was, but I had gone through all of this trouble for Itachi, so I figured I could get away with telling a bit of the truth. There was a glimpse of surprise on the jounin's face, and I started doubting my idea. What if Kakashi was really ugly? What if he was really young? I was just waiting for the man who caught me once, to catch me with another lie. It could go something like...

"Oh. I didn't know little boys were your thing." or maybe even worse, "I didn't know old men were your thing." I mean, I didn't know who this Kakashi guy was. What if he was fat and balding? Or skinny and balding? What if he was already bald? Or what if he had too much hair? What if he was super hairy? Oh, the possibilities!

"That makes sense, I suppose. You wouldn't be the first." Oh. Never-mind. I guess this kakashi guy was good looking, really good looking apparently. "However, to break into a restricted sections to look at his information. Were you... after his address?" His address? What of course not. That was the dumbest thing I had ever heard. Everybody knew that since Uchiha Itachi was an Uchiha, he lived on the Uchiha compound. How dare he accuse me of such a thing.

"Of-course I wasn't. I already know where he lives. Duh." Before I could even think the word were out of my mouth. I realized my drastic mistake. He had been talking about this Kakashi guy, and I answered for Itachi. Oh. I waited for an angry look to pass through his face, or some kind of disgusted grimace. It never came, he just looked more amused.

"Hm. You have a lot of gall to admit such things, and a lot of gall to do what you did. You know you wouldn't have succeeded without my help." His help? What was he talking about? "You're a mere genin. Did you actually think it was that easy? I'd noticed you snooping around for several days now, and I wasn't sure just what it was you were attempting. The thought had crossed my mind that you were a spy, and I figured that in order for me to make sure, I'd have to catch you in the act. I concluded that the night of the festival would be the best night for you to strike, and so I persuaded the Hokage to let me take guard by myself. It wasn't a very hard thing for me to do. Aware of my skills he didn't hesitate to me the part, and of-course all the other anbu were all too happy to attend the festival. However, I realized that you probably had no skill, if your information skills were really all that lacking. Didn't you wonder how all the doors happened to be open?"

"I thought I'd just gotten really, really lucky."

"Not quite. So when you entered, I was so sure you'd do a pitiful job and I'd figure it all out. Then you used that cloaking technique, and even I had trouble sensing you. I figured that perhaps the whole genin thing was an act, but you couldn't hold the technique for more than ten minutes. None the less, I was impressed. Then when you finally entered, I expected for you to immediately give yourself away, but you began organizing all the files. It made no sense to me. Eventually I made myself known in order to panic you into revealing your true intentions and when I disappeared I expected you to go for your original goal. However, as I watched from the shadows you just continued to clean. Then came Kakashi's file and I realized that he was your original goal. I was hoping for a more satisfactory answer as to your reasoning for doing it, but your actions have to a certain extent, impressed me." I was momentarily in awe. That guy had planned all this? He had planned me to do what I wanted to do so he could catch me? He left those doors open so I could break in? What if I was really strong? What if I was an actual threat? He would've given me access just to see what I wanted? But no. Glancing on my face I realized it didn't matter how strong I was. I didn't know how I could tell but just from the way that he was sitting, like a snake poised to strike, I knew this man was powerful. In fact, I don't think I've ever met anyone as powerful as him. So I had to ask.

"Who are you?"

"You may call me Orochimaru."

"And, what do you want with me?"

"In exchange for keeping this a secret between us," wait. Did he mean he wasn't going to rat me out? He was going to let my get away? But then, what was he after? " I want to train you."

Thoughts? I'm quite happy with how this turned out. I hope I got Orochimaru's character right, and I hope you guys enjoyed this. Review please!! It really makes me want to keep writing!
