On my way back to the action that was going on at the entrance of the village, something urged me to go to the training field. When I arrived, I saw none other than Hidan, standing before me. My face flushed and he grinned. Then he noticed something and asked, "What happened to the scythe I gave you? Didn't you like it?" "Of course I liked it, but that damn Tsunade tore it to pieces." I answered. He was stunned, "What do you mean 'torn to pieces?!' It was an exact replica of the one I hold now! And this thing has taken quite a beating." I let out a little sigh and questioned, "Do you even realize that Tsunade was one of the strongest kunoichi alive!?" He brought his hand to his chin and thought for a second. Then it struck him, "Oh, so Tsunade was one of the Legendary Sanin, right? This means, you went up against a tough opponent!" I smacked my face. "Wait a second, wasn't Tsunade the lady with the really big…boobs?" I was disgusted at the question, "I'll take that as a 'yes.'" He said.
"So, you gonna keep me in the dark?" I grew curious of what he was talking about, as if that wasn't obvious enough. "How did you do?" I drooped my shoulders and started to wonder what I saw in this guy. "Do you honestly think that if I lost the fight I'd be standing here right now!?" He hesitated, "I'm guessing, no?" I felt like ripping out my hair. "Look, quit acting like such an idiot!" I snapped. He giggled, and the more infuriated I grew, the more he found humor in it. He smiled wide while saying, "So you won, just what I'd expect form a girl as stubborn as you." Is he TRYING to piss me off? I grabbed him by the throat and pulled him close. "I'm NOT stubborn you dirt bag, I just don't go all 'Psycho Killer' during my fights, alright!?" His smile remained, "What are you trying to say here, Kakina? You finally found romantic interest in me?" I dropped him, "What!?"
He picked himself up and brushed his clothes. Then he snaked his right arm across my shoulders. "Are you drunk," I asked. "Heh, no, and I don't care to be. Besides, it would be against my religion." I rolled my eyes, but then I suddenly realized something. "What am I doing here?" I asked myself. Hidan's smile slowly disappeared. At this moment, we were going through a war. The Sound Village against the Leaf Village. And I was hanging around him. I slipped out of his hold, "I'm sorry, I've gotta go." I turned swiftly and raced back to the entrance. Behind me I could hear Hidan shouting, "Okay, I guess I'll see you later!" I passed through every little way that was a shortcut to Lord Orochimaru. I skidded across the rocky gravel and clashed into a couple of trash cans. I shot up and looked around me. Corpses lay across the pathway to the Hokage's Mansion. This looks a little familiar. I saw Lord Orochimaru lying in a puddle of blood. Hopefully, none of it was his. I rushed to his side.
I turned him over gently. He was stabbed in many different places. I put pressure on the more critical wounds. I said to myself, "Damn, where's that blasted Kabuto when you need him?" My eyes were fixed on Lord Orochimaru. He can't die, he mustn't. He's all I have left that is close enough to call family. His sad eyes laid on me. He coughed up large amounts of blood. Tears flooded my eyes. His breath began to fade. However, my breathing rate increased. I pushed harder on his wounds, even if it did hurt him even further. I couldn't let him die. I tore off some of my uniform and tied it tightly around him. His eyes closed and I couldn't see nor hear him breathing. I started to panic. I cupped his face and my tears landing on his cold skin. I cried and sobbed. I brought my head to his. Our foreheads were touching, and I continued my grieving. Lord Orochimaru was dead, and a piece of me was never healed.
